Not a second passed by. As the battle began, Raiden was already in his Arthur form, with Excalibur in his hand, Then he rushed towards FirstBorn, knowing this fight was going to take every amount of strategy and strength he had, It would have to be a battle of endurance; at every turn, Raiden had to chip away at his opponent, with every Servant he had ever fought using every trick in the book just to weaken firstborn. His plan was simple but hard to achive, weaken the First Born enough that, when he transforms again, the system would grant him a Servant strong enough to defeat Firstborn

With Excalibur's golden glow, Raiden closed in on the FirstBorn, aiming a slash at his neck, But as if it was a casual occurrence, FirstBorn raised a hand to block the legendary sword's slash as if it were nothing, in fact, it was Raiden that felt a reverberating force his arm due to the impact! and before he could react, FirstBorn had delivered a crushing punch to his face, sending him flying backward

 

"Oh, you thought by weakening me using the strange energy of this Land, you could defeat me? Utterly Shameless and foolish!" First Born taunted, his tone filled with Disgust "I am beyond you….I am Eternal"

 

In an Instant, FirstBorn closed the distance between him and Raiden, the latter braced himself for the assault by transforming himself into his most durable form, Heracles! Unleashing an endless onslaught of punches, Firstborn pummeled Raiden! He was defending himself and tried to deliver some punches, but he was severely outmatched!

 

However, at the right time, Merlin plunged from above, swooping down with the glow of a golden beam from his sword, FirstBorn turned toward the new threat, raising his left hand in an attempt to block the beam of light, This gave Raiden an opportunity to land a heavy blow, this time forcing FirstBorn back, but it was hardly enough, The combined strength of Raiden and Merlin barely resulted in a scratch

 

"We need to do more," Raiden muttered, his voice filled with frustration. Closing his eyes he sent a mental message to Merlin as he transformed yet again, now into Ashwatthama, calling out to his Noble Phantasm, the Chakram, then activating all his strengthening skills he focused on the attack

 

The chakram was flaming as it flew directly at FirstBorn, He caught it with both hands; the spinning wheel ground to a halt, but Raiden had anticipated this It was merely a distraction, From the left and right, Raiden and Merlin attacked simultaneously, Raiden now in his Siegfried form, sword raised high.

 

"The Evil Dragon Shall Fall! 

Balmung!"

Raiden Unleashed his Noble Phantasm! On the right, Merlin followed suit with his mock Excalibur, the two attacks combining into a brilliant explosion of energy. The First Born was caught right in the middle and fell to his knees under the intense pressure

Raiden wasn't done, Transforming into his Arthur Form once again he started to chant "Excalibur!!!!" the golden beam of light continued its attack on FirstBorn, A combined attack of Four Noble Phantasms!

 

But when the dust settled, Raiden had nothing to smile about. FirstBorn still knelt there, panting but undefeated, unharmed, the disgusted look still on his face as he spoke "Not enough," He looked at Raiden and screamed

"Show me more."

 

Raiden's Instinct Screamed at him as something was behind him and he'd sidestepped just in time to avoid a mass of writhing tentacles reaching out of the void, He hadn't seen that one coming—a new, disgusting ability from FirstBorn, The tentacles multiplied, seemingly appearing out of thin air as if the very atmosphere had been torn open

 

FirstBorn's twisted grin widened. "Let me show you true despair."

 

The tentacles Chased Merlin and Raiden, but after the two created a distance, instead of chasing them, the tentacles started to open their mouths, from the depths of their horrifying circular mouths, a laser of dark fire was unleashed, forcing Raiden and Merlin away to the edges of the Garden

 

"She's here," Merlin said out of nowhere, his voice utterly calm

 

Raiden nodded, relief washing over him "Good. Let her in. We need all the help we can get."

 

Merlin opened a section of the Gardens of Avalon, and a Dark Red laser cut through the battlefield impacting Firstborn, and cutting his chest open, the first wound that was inflicted upon him ever since Enkidu's Noble Phantasm, the blood gushed out as he felt true pain from it, he looked at his new opponent, With a cursed spear in hand, Scáthach was his new opponent

"A Worthy one, Show me"

Nightwing, Green Arrow, Rocket, and Static showed up as well as Nightwing said "What's the Situation?"

 

"There's no situation," Raiden replied with a dark look on his face "We either beat him, or Earth is gone, it's as Simple as that."

 

Merlin activated his magic on the team, powering it up, and infusing them with renewed strength. "Everyone, focus on those tentacles, give me time to recover, DO NOT ENGAGE first born, there's only death in facing him" Raiden Ordered, Nightwing nodded as he said "The others should be here soon, the battle outside is almost over!

"Good! Now go"

 

While tentacles were keeping the rest busy, Scáthach was fighting FirstBorn directly, Though he was far stronger, the cursed spear of Scáthach chipped at his defense, bringing forth damage that not even a person like him, self-proclaimed beyond a god could keep unscathed. But with every strike, she left him, in agonizing pain, as the curse chewed through his very being.

 

As He sensed that he was being truly pushed back, FirstBorn smiled as he spoke "This is Surprising…I expected him to be the one to push me to the edge…But you….you are a variable I didn't recognize! If so, I shall truly go All out…I shall show you what I meant by surpassing the Gods!"

FirstBorn created a distance between him and Scáthach as hundreds of tentacles blocked her way, giving him time to change into his true form his arms and legs twisting in impossible ways with a disgusting crack sounding out across the battlefield. His skin, already wretched in color, began to bubble up and squirm as if like there was something underneath that wanted out, His dark red eyes rolled into the back of his skull, only to be left with a hollow gaping hole that covered all of his face

His flesh started to rip away and stretch, long jagged slits from his skin tearing open, flowing across his body, to show a seething mass of wriggling, pulsating tendrils inside, The tendrils were coated in a sticky tarlike liquid, each ending with a razor-sharp, barbed claw. The tendrils tangled, lashed, and coiled around each other; there was an eternal cyclone, living flesh, and a nightmare of shadows.

His mouth yawned impossibly wide, splitting his face in half as rows of needle-like teeth erupted from his jaws

a monstrosity on the battlefield, grotesque as an undead god, All that was human in his shape blended away and was lost, He was surrounded by a dark, aura that distorted reality and changed the air into colors of unnatural shapes, defying every law of reason, an abomination that shouldn't exist a being that defied the laws of existence, a being that the world refused to accept

Then his voice came back, only it was no longer his alone, there was a darker, more horrifying voice dominating him, reverberating on the battlefield as if a hundred of him were speaking

"I am he, the Crawling Chaos, madness incarnate that devours worlds. the harbinger of despair"

What now stood before Raiden, Scáthach, and others was no longer something of this world. It was an entity of pure terror

"I've had many names….But one that truly represented me was…. Nyarlathotep"
