Some time has passed since his first arrival and the beginning of this grand war of fates De Anigh is actually unsure of how much time has passed on his end as there is no way for the combatants to keep track of how much time has been passing and Kurayami would hardly assist in time keeping he only rarely appears to gloat and hold his actions over him to try and push De Anigh even further over the edge than he'd already gone. He brings out the worst in Aurelius and Kurayami enjoys that the twisted unhinged side the aberration of De Anigh doesn't show outside of momentary control lapses in battle settings and when Kurayami is the only familiar person De Anigh gets to interact with it doesn't help his already dark leaning psyche especially as Kurayami only reinforces his inner darkness pushing him further and further over the deep end as the more time that passes leaving this place starts to feel more and more unlikely and he becomes truly hopeless in the face of eternity with Kurayami as the most familiar face and only one willing to talk to him like he was a normal being everyone else is either scared to death of him, unwilling to talk to him because they were enemies or now long dead before he could even try talking to them.
De Anigh is simply lounging atop a pile of building and fauna debris almost like it's a large towering throne like structure, a very particular vantage point in this strange realm that allows the sixth gate to branch out further without him having to stretch his technique against the strange fog like barrier that hangs around every inch of this realm that interferes with sixth gate doesn't prevent it but disrupts it but this particular region De Anigh is currently sat in is saturated with his energy so the barrier fog has been dissipated over a long period of time meaning sixth gate is at its peak performance.
De Anigh stares off into the distance the 'eternities eye's' feeding him a constant flow of information for the region that makes it impossible for him to be snuck up on but that's not to say that some combatants haven't tried to sneak upon him but they discovered pretty quickly that it wouldn't work like they didn't even get close, Aurelius had used a 6th Gate Arcana Technique Level 4 Release Heaven's Fall Blade Blitz, to bring down a street of buildings which had crushed some of the weaker combatants the others got hit by the full effect of the Arcana technique Aurelius's control of this technique means he can control each individual blade down to an atomic level and he can change properties, style and size in an instant manipulate matter that has made contact with the sixth gate and when he's not being particular about preserving life Aurelius finds that yes… this does pertain to all matter… judging by how many mangled corpses litter the street.
Aurelius is just lounging unassumedly when there is a familiar spike of energy in his surroundings, he cocks his head to the side irises of cold yet burning starfire meeting blood red irises with draconic slit pupils "bout time you show up Kuraya~" remarks Aurelius tossing a bloodied piece of debris into the air in a bored manner a hint of teasing in his words "starved for titillating conversation are you Relius~" drawls Kurayami De Anigh laughs derisively "you know it everyone around here is no fun" he pouts "they're either too scared to talk to me or way to serious about killing me and won't even try to talk when I instigate a conversation" states De Anigh waving his hands about animatedly. Kurayami chuckles "oh poor sixth gate your state of being is too much for them to handle that they treat you as your precious arcana society outside of your allies does as a force of nature yet also something unnatural; welcome finally all the way down to my level Relius I do wonder what they'll try to do to be rid of you doubt sealing/imprisonment would work considering you already escaped that labyrinth, they can't kill you, they can't confine you so what's left is falling at your feet or…" Kurayami drawls pausing with emphasis "scorched earth" finishes De Anigh looking down from his throne like structure stretching much like a cat trying to get comfortable.
He scoffs "let em try pretty sure this place can't go scorched earth anyways wouldn't be any fun for the watchers if they didn't get to see us all ripping each other apart and instead being killed in some large collective blast that annihilates the realm wouldn't make for good entertainment isn't that what this grand war of fates is meant to be for these deific beings be they watcher or benefactor good old fashioned battle royale entertainment sure maybe we're not entertained right now but this isn't the only region in this entire realm so I guarantee a lot of fights are going on elsewhere for them to be amused by" remarks Aurelius to Kurayami's hovering astral form "sides you know I'd see it coming anyways" states De Anigh tapping near the side of his sharp fractal gold irises.
"Nothing but another more adept chrono gaze user can trick my sight so completely and even then it's not disabled just distorted which is a little annoying because it makes everything harder to discern but I'm a full-fledged chrono gaze user at this point so the only thing beyond me would be one of my ancestors that mastered it but even then that can also depend on whether they have eternal/endless to help bolster their control of the chrono-gaze technique because that helps even out our mental control and keeps our minds sharp and hyper aware at all times which means unlike other chrono-gaze users we can look into the timeline more often and deeper and not lose our minds as quickly as the traditional chrono-gaze users who upon shattering their temporal barrier are infinitely more vulnerable than us their non-traditional counterparts".
"Well, I'm hardly amused sixth gate there's no entertainment in this for me sure a lot of decadence and splendour in my observation room but nothing I haven't seen and already enjoyed before seeing as they created it based off my thousands of years long rule". "Ah huh" remarks Aurelius "how sad if you're bored Kurayami~ you can always come down here and entertain yourself I've heard nothing against benefactors and combatants fighting" eggs on Aurelius as he too is bored out of his mind and goading Kurayami into battle is always intriguing. Kurayami huffs "don't entice me now sixth gate you know I can't get to you currently, so a fight is quite impossible…". De Anigh huffs pouting in a manner that makes Kurayami huff a laugh "oh you are quite insatiable sixth gate finally remembering your taste for blood". "Yeah, the taste for your blood…!" remarks Aurelius a feral grin baring sharp canines to the omen who smirks back baring his own elongated canines at the sorcerer.
De Anigh's eyes flicker around and contract/expand rapidly a pair of moving gold clock hands appear in De Anigh's dark pupils moving at the rate that his gaze flickers through time his fractal gaze fixating on a particular point behind Kurayami's astral form "could you move to the right…Kuraya" remarks De Anigh, "this is my nonphysical form but yeah sure I can move" responds Kurayami with a roll of his eyes. He vanishes and reappears floating upside down behind De Anigh sharpening one of the memento weapons he'd held onto from his thousand years long rule meanwhile Anigh raises his hand and intones bluntly "6th Gate Arcana Technique Level 5 Release Spears of Eternium". A void shaded crack opens and from this sizeable tear emerges several spears constructed of pure energy that blitz forward at speeds imperceptible to the human eye and nail his would-be attackers in the face, heart, neck and spinal cord taking them out instantaneously. Kurayami laughs manically "oh this place is changing you usually those strikes would be reserved for the omens that did something heinous to your kids the longer you spend here the easier it's getting for you to kill not that I'm bothered by your actions, but I think there are some that would be bothered sixth gate don't you…?".
De Anigh rolls his bright unique eyes "well we both know that this is going to be undone with the reset when I win this grand war of fates and attain the divine arc for my wish to reset the timeline so what's the point in mourning or regretting anything in this lifetime when I can't change the outcome of what will happen here regardless of my presence but I can change the outcome for my students in the past and if to do that I need to dirty my hands well we both know their ensanguined already with the blood of countless omens and I'm about ready to get more… I'm not bothered by whom it comes from". States De Anigh cracking his knuckles with a swipe of his hand he dismisses the sixth gate technique at Level 5 and from a gate ranked at an unknown level of the sixth gate he pulls a very familiar looking weapon that clearly startles Kurayami as he raises it skyward a strange onyx black cracking with crimson red aura surrounds the blade and lashes out into the air around them "you stole one of my era's priceless artifacts…" he chortles upon realising that the sixth gate had stolen one of the priceless family heirloom weapons of the Kinhoru family a known line of weapon's forgers ain't that ironic the Arcana sorcerer with a weapons based innate technique not being even a hint related to the family throughout history known as forgers of the strongest and most unique weaponry and he used it better than any of them possibly could.
Which Kurayami knew the bloodline would hate which in turn only made him enjoy this realisation even more the Kinhoru family were an arrogant bunch they deserved to be brought down a level or several for being such annoying nuisances during his thousands of years long rule… ineffective nuisances for all they tried but still aggravating all the same. It was annoying every couple of decades to deal with the next upcoming Kinhoru 'hotshot' who would inevitably fail to be the 'prophecy fulfiller' their bloodline preached they were. Then the one that ends up being the prophecy fulfiller is from the new blood De Anigh clan which would piss them off so inexplicably because they weren't an old blood Arcana Sorcerer family but unlike any of the older families, they were actually blessed of cosmos or rather one of the two twin's that had been born the day of the centennial eclipse were blessed of cosmos and fate cut and the other was supposedly born an aberration on the clan's name his core unstable and his Arcana flowing outwards endlessly which weakened and corrupted all the stable cored beings. They were actually blessed of cosmos instead of just knowing the primordial exists.
Aurelius angles the Kinhoru's; Elementalis Blade downward having found the fullest heights of its power as his own energy meshed with the blades embedded energy and enhanced it to an excessive degree Aurelius with Kurayami as his witness then slams the Elementalis blade down into the dais of his throne like structure below the force of the blow extends downwards through the towering structure into the ground below causing fissures to erupt in the city far below sectors of the vast continent are being swallowed by the fissures which expand into full on chasms that are burning with a mixture of the Elementalis blade's and Aurelius's personal energies.
Leaving the Elementalis blade embedded into the stone dais Aurelius withdraws the package of cigarettes from his pocket drawing a cigarette from the packet which he tucks back into his pocket before pulling out his lighter hitting the spark wheel igniting a bright tongue of flame that flickered, the nascent flame being pushed by a gentle breeze lighting up the cold dark world around him absent of light and warmth apart from this single wick of flame his bright fractal gaze is magnetically drawn towards the fire hypnotising in the way it flickered it felt like it was calling to him in a familiar manner bright and soulful yet dangerous and untamed… Hashino… Aurelius vigorously shakes his head and lights the tip of his cigarette before flicking the lid of his lighter closed and shoving it deep back into his pocket taking a drag from his cigarette as he does so "those'll kill ya you know" croons Kurayami from where he hovers behind his shoulder "yeah after everything I've been through it's the cigarettes that are gonna do me in" says Aurelius in an over exaggerated manner taking another drag from his cigarette exhaling a cloud of smoke "I wish this shit and normal human maladies could affect me but eternal/endless makes certain that I remain untainted by sickness and human weakness you know that and I know that but it seems the others just aren't catching on yet".
Looking down at the destruction he's wrought over what he can see of the continent Aurelius seems apathetic at best and Kurayami is outright delighted judging by how his eyes are twinkling and a sharp smirk cuts across his face. Aurelius estimates through 'eternities eyes' that there are about 24 battle ready combatants left in this strange realm 24 combatants left between him and the divine arc 24 combatants in the way of him and the wish that will save his kids from their so called 'fated' timeline. Aurelius glances around with rapidly flickering eyes determining with his chrono-gaze the exact location of his remaining competitors in this grand war of fates. Drawing the Elementalis blade from where it was driven into the dais with a flourish, he decides he's going to go on a little hunt. Kurayami feels himself being tugged back to his physical body by force urgh seems like he's going to get another crack at breaking out of his observation box to then track down his other more mortal half so then they can massacre the deities dragged into this realm for this grand war of fates as benefactors.
Kurayami opens his blood red irises with slit draconic pupils and raises his hand to the glass of the observation box window funnelling more of his energy into the hairline cracks he'd made over the period of time he'd been stuck in here when he was not in his non physical state following his other half around focusing his energy into a sharp point a crack echoes through the observation box as the seemingly unbreakable window shatters into thousands of tiny fragments. Kurayami scoffs "well finally some excitement in this gods forbidden realm" he remarks leaning out of the observation deck window following the familiar energy of Aurelius feeling the massacre to come building in the air seems the professor had finally grown tired of this Grand War of Fates and he was going to end it once and for all can't exactly have another grand war of fates if there is no one left to ensure its existence if the professor kills all the deities, watchers and finders who instigate this Grand War in the first place.
Kurayami clambers over the edge of the observation deck window and leaps into the open air quickly accelerating his fall to the point when he makes impact with the ground below, he obliterates the region below climbing out of the impact crater casually he's close enough to Aurelius that he can scent the professor's natural cosmos bound scent even under all the blood and death permeating the air around them. Time for this farce to end and his eternal confrontation with the sixth gate to continue. Kurayami rises to hover above the ground time for him to go and find his other half and leave this land they've forsaken.
Meanwhile Aurelius has torn his way through most other combatants left in this grand war of fates and has now directed his gaze heavenward planning on eliminating the benefactor deities next then after that the watchers and finders in that layover realm. Calling back the Elementalis blade that was one of the weapons pinning one of his competitors to a building like a butterfly under a microscope. Aurelius zips upward his trajectory placing him in its path without either of them loosing any of their speed he snatches it from the air and streaking through the air like a burning comet he rears the blade back funnelling more and more of his power into the energy already present in the blade melding them into one highly unstable energy that burns and splits the very air around them but thanks to endless/eternal he himself remains unmarred by the sheer outpouring of unstable power the same can't be said for the realm around him as the mixture of energies destabilises it even further. Aurelius violently slashes the Elementalis blade easily splitting the sky apart the sound of shattering glass and crashing metal echoing throughout the realm as the deific beings who had been invisible within their observation boxes able to watch the chaos and massacres without a care are now exposed to the very real danger to them that was brought to this Grand War of Fates when The Elysian snatched this anomaly mortal and his benefactor from their destabilising realm.
Aurelius can now sense the previously distorted energy linked to each of the deific beings there are 108 unique signatures and having shattered the energy fog barrier completely now he can very clearly sense Kurayami rapidly approaching seems he finally broke through what ever was trapping him on his solo observation deck there would be two reasons why he'd be approaching this rapidly 1) he's intending on finishing their previous confrontation right here and now or 2) and much more likely he's gonna join in the massacre of the deific beings, because they both hold the same immeasurable all-encompassing and incandescent rage towards the beings that had the gall to think they could hold them here against their will's.
Well Aurelius has called dibs on first blood he blitzes onto one of the many now open window ledges glass crunching beneath his dress shoes. Ishida had expected a lot from this grand war of fates, but he certainly hadn't expected to come face to face with the monster of an anomaly mortal when he was a benefactor and therefore exempt from the fighting and carnage. He'd gone through and watched thousands of these battle royale's and nothing like this had ever come close to occurring and for the first time since his ascension to a full deity and escaping the clutches of being an active participant in this event he feels fear true pure inescapable syrupy thick fear like that of prey caught in the eyes of an apex predator. An unnaturally wide manic grin displaying sharpened canines distorts the anomalies almost angelic features into something truly infernal. Ishida's heart skips a beat, and it doesn't even occur to him to beg for his existence he knows it would be futile those are not the eyes of someone who can be negotiated with.
Ishida freezes unable to even reach for a weapon to defend himself as the mortal bares down on him the modified Elementalis blade in hand fear is frozen on his face when his decapitated head hits the floor and rolls underneath of the anomalies foot who looks down at his wide fear filled amethyst irises with irises of burning sunburst gold and the last thing Ishida sees is the Elementalis blade veering down towards his face followed by a feeling of white hot agony. Crimson red gold flecked blood spatters against Aurelius's outfit, skin and also ends up streaking his white now wolf cut hair as he hasn't exactly had time to maintain his hair in the time he's been in the odd realm with a distorted view of time. He runs his free hand through his blood-streaked hair slicking it back out of his face wishing he had something to tie it back because as much as he now favours this style its not always the most ideal in a battle scenario not in the sense that it could be used against him in the sense that it gets bloody easy and falls into his face mid battle and he can't physically view his brutality first hand you know mild irritating things.
Aurelius leaps out of the solo observation deck one down 107 to go he senses multiple blips of energy going dark 107, 106, 105, 101 seems like Kurayami was finally getting himself involved, Aurelius's gaze travels slightly to the right and sees a blood bath in the most literal sense as Kurayami butcher's several unknowns with shadow strike and his twisted claws and the blood rains down on the sovereign of dark spirits who has his arms spread wide welcoming what he would call a cleansing rain an eerily wide smile cracking his lower face to dangerous levels. The god of space, dimensions and travel Solus knows they can't deal with these two at the same time especially as Aurelius technically has access to the divine arc but they can't send them both back to their dimension as they didn't want to give the professor what he wanted when he was slaughtering legions of deific kind as was the other side of his coin that omen creature the professor called Kurayami but he couldn't exactly refuse the wish from the divine arc merely warp it slightly to his advantage Aurelius is willing with all his might this universe to change back to his universe but 5 years before the beginning of Armus Demonicus so he could protect his students.
Solus nudges the intent of the wish slightly instead of the intent to go back and protect his kid students from their worlds worse disaster its just to protect some young students from their world's idea of the worst disastrous event. And Aurelius near enough vanishes in a pillar of gold light that blinds all those present if it weren't for his willpower and eternal/endless unwinding the alteration to his wish on the divine arc Aurelius immediately pins Solus as to blame as he'd felt the others energy peak then drop abruptly so in a mere microsecond Aurelius has blitzed into Solus slamming his palm into the others face driving the other into the realm's surface cracking through it easily when he's moving at a speed that even gods fail to perceive forcing Solus through layers and layers of sedimentary rock followed by layers upon layers of molten substances finally burying him deep into the realms core to watch him burn with a twisted smirk spanning his face.
Aurelius hovers back towards the realms surface only glancing back down towards Solus to aim a full power 5th gate release towards him and the destabilising core without even a second thought. Kurayami laughs with malevolent glee watching Aurelius De Anigh as he's falling even further from the grace of Arcana's society's view embracing his truer nature as a building calamity doing as he pleased instead of conforming to what was expected of him.
Kurayami had been watching the sixth gate evolution during this Grand War of Fates with intrigue it seems the longer sixth gate spends with only him as a familiar face and energy signature the more twisted his morality and nature becomes. Seems if one takes away what sixth gate is so intent on protecting trapping him away from it giving him only one out in which he'll have to consistently kill others that weren't omens and might not be trying to kill him back he'll do whatever is necessary to get back to those brats of his seems when he wants to be sixth gate can be just as twisted and malevolent as he is forcing that unknown deity through the realms surface deep down into its ruptured core trapping him there by forcing him into the core and trapping him with the repulsive force of the Metalis Strike meaning if the other left his position in which he was basically holding the realm together with his godly nature the repulsive force of sixth gate arcana technique would shred apart the realms core destroying the realm from within killing anything still living on the realm brutal and malignant but efficient and respectable in his eyes. Anyone else would be horrified by how far De Anigh was willing to go Kurayami was just intrigued how far could Aurelius De Anigh be pushed in the sake of those brats of his so far, the answer was proving to be incredibly so there didn't seem to be a limit if De Anigh was fully willing to rupture the core of the realm and kill everything but them and the pure deities, finders and watcher's of varying universes who they'd kill separately from the final realm destruction.
One of the many time orientated god's Morai sees what Kurayami and De Anigh will end up doing if either the sorcerer's divine arc wish is not made soon or if time/space deities interfere with the wish and don't send them back to their destabilising universe it will be a massacre unseen since Abyss's destruction they need to send the two anomalies back before they initiate the end of everything the pure deities, finders and watchers have built here through the Grand War of Fates. So Morai urges Elysian to assist him in sending the two anomalies back to their realm and fulfilling De Anigh's wish of turning the world back before the Armus Demonicus took the lives of many people he cared about Morai says the wish needs to be made to the divine arc without interference or alterations because otherwise De Anigh will realise as he did with Solus and destroy them and everything they've worked for before they can get rid of him.
So Morai and The Elysian cooperate the Elysian taking Aurelius and Kurayami into their grasp dropping them back into their universe and Morai turning back the clock within the universe to sometime before the Armus Demonicus when Kurayami is still meant to be sealed.
