Merlyn slowly traveled through the void, seeing his friends healing their wounds, and thought about everything. In his heart, the bonds he formed are real. His friends are real. His love is real. Reality may have been a massive lucid dream shared by others of the same first name, but now it was time to awaken and see the truth. This was now reality, nothing could interfere with it, no one could rewrite it anymore. But would his friends understand it? Guess it was time to see, even if it wasn't going to make any sense at all. He inhaled deeply, but then got speared in the stomach by Morgan, going in for a hug.
"You're alive! I thought you up and died. But then I heard something say..the dream is now reality..? Something tells me this has something to do with the weirdness going on." Morgan figured, the other Dark Lords appearing from the shadows of nothingness.
Merlyn sighed, beginning his explanation of the Merlyn Dream, and how reality was like a dream-like cycle of events that repeated over and over with each Merlyn child that was born, yet was changing at certain points. The first Merlyn was now at rest, and now everything is as it should be, only this time Merlyn inherited the memory and abilities of the others. The Dark Lords added on, explaining how the curse was even set in motion, but they were cut off from finishing.
"I get the idea. For now, how about we just focus on the fact that we're real, still badass as fuck, and maybe that the goddamn world blew up. Everyone is currently big dead, with no quick revive. What are we gonna do, jerk it onto some leaves and recreate the universe from the smell?" G joked, which resulted in him getting a hit on the head.
Merlyn thought for a moment, then created a barrier to breathe while he left the void and went into outer space. The vastness was indescribable, the infinite stars, the planets, the massive sun, all of it was near overwhelming. He felt it, the cold infinity that seemed to encompass everything. He closed his eyes, briefly becoming one with the infinity, then opened his eyes again. All his memories, his trials, everything he's experienced, it was all leading to this. Breaking a generational curse, by sheer coincidence. He smiled, small tears leaving his eyes as he heard his parent's voices in his mind, the happiest times of his life spent with them, his friends, falling in love, fighting, laughing, eating, it was all real, it was all beautiful. His energy began to swell, colors spreading all over in prismatic rays of colors, his smile, his tears, all of it seeming to shine like a massive supernova in the galaxy.
"It's all...just so beautiful. I can't believe I'm actually smiling so much. I can't wait to taste mom's cooking again, and hear dad's jokes too. Play with the dog, chill with my friends. We may battle, but that's life. Ominus is probably somewhere close, but it'll be okay. We'll figure things out. That's what friends do...figure it out."
As he was talking to himself, Ominus dashed at Merlyn, seeming faster than light, and attacked him with razor sharp claws, but they were doing nothing. Merlyn's automatic defensive shield was protecting him from being attacked, all while he still smiled as well.
"So, you've awoken I see. That won't stop me from-"
Ominus was cut off with an arrow hitting him into a moon like a meteor, Morgan floating down slowly, her form was different and beautiful. She seemed to embody both the masculine and the feminine. Her all black hair gained a periwinkle highlight, and her clothing transformed into black straps covering her chest and crotch while revealing her stomach in a diamond pattern, and black sleeves covering her arms. Merlyn smirked, seeing his friend in such a revealing state.
"So, my ride or die is becoming a stripper? Figured that was only my thing." Merlyn joked.
Morgan just smirked and rolled her eyes, pointing her finger and making a large arrow appear, wielding it like a staff. Ominus came back, his face looked feral, but he was swatted away with a combined attack. G and Shikom floated down next, Shikom's black arm being different.
"Shishi, you and Rikusa fused? That's my cutie wolfie!" Merlyn said, hugging Shikom and giggling.
Shikom blushed, still smiling, and felt that his nature changed. Sure Rikusa may be part of his soul now, but he will always be his friend. G summoned his trident, spinning it like a typhoon, using the centrifugal force to maintain it's movement, and then using it as a buzz saw to hit Ominus with it, making multiple rapid attacks.
"Less talkie, more whoopin' some ass! We got a world to rebuild and and big bad to make into a pack, so let's get to it and kill this bitch!" G yelled with a massive toothed smile on his face.
Magna and Jesteros darted down, everyone smiling and flying toward Ominus. It was finally time to put him to an end.
