Chapter 18
Those Who Wear A Mask
"Damn those two idiots. Bringing shame to the lord's name. Such foolish weaklings." (Silicon)
" It wasn't that they were weak. We're just too strong. You people are mere test dummies for the world to hear our name." (Gruff)
"Maybe you speak the truth. But you made one error. Thinking I was lesser than you. Now SIT!" (Silicon)
Gruff's body begins to shake uncontrollably almost as if an overwhelming force is devouring him.
"Wow, that is no ordinary feat there. The lord himself said that my Command's output force to those who try to resist is more than the birth of the Universe. Many of those who thought they were strong squished into nothing. Yet you alone have stood very impressive." (Silicon)
*Universe in this case means the Omniverse. The birth of the Omniverse was the force of 100^100x the force of the Big Bang for normal universe's.
"Shut up! This is-nt anything simple" (Gruff)
Gruff's voice is shaken by the force. He also begins to get pushed into the earth.
"DAMN IT! GET THIS OFF OF ME." (Gruff)
Gruff turns the force into a physical object and throws it at Silicon.
"Disappear!" (Silicon)
Silicon makes the force evaporate.
"A very troublesome Skill you have there. Seems like you weren't just all talk. But when face to face with a god how will you fare?" (Gruff)
"You a god? After that feat you pulled off it doesn't seem that far-fetched. But you don't seem to really view yourself worthy of that position." (Silicon)
"..." (Gruff)
"Hello? Are you there move around." (Silicon)
"Origin Skill: Infinite Dimensional Slash." (Gruff)
Skill Info: 'Infinite Dimensional Slash' type 'Origin'. Origin skills can only freely be used by Origin Gods. Infinite Dimensional Slash is a move that when it strikes the opponent from anywhere, anytime, and everytime no matter what. It negates negates. Effectively making it a damage over time indefinitely unless Gruff calls it off or another Skill conflicts with it.
Gruff lands this attack across Silicon's chest, sending him this attack so hard it sends Silicon outside of space and time.
"Damn I missed. You were holding back this entire time. I can't use that for another 5 minutes. But next time I won't miss." (Gruff)
Silicon is gasping for air while bleeding
"What exactly was that? It's impossible to dodge. All you can do is mitigate damage. I only was able to do that because he miscalculated. If I didn't immediately use my Ultimatum when I sensed something was off I would've had to use a revive." (Silicon)
" I knocked us out of Mitasakou's dimension, now we're in a place where our own speed doesn't matter. This will be even harder now." (Gruff)
"Ok I've grasped the situation. 'Restore'. That attack destroyed 4 of my 8 cores. Restore can only bring back 2. But this place makes up for my disadvantage. Skill Domain: Omnipresent Will." (Silicon)
Skill Info: 'Omnipresent Will' type 'Domain'. This allows Silicon to use his 'Commands' without speaking. The force of these commands is also increased tenfold. The amount he can do at once has increased from 2 to 8. "Now CONSTRAIN!" (Silicon)
Gruff's Hands and Legs forcefully lock themselves to each other removing his movement.
"Since neither Space nor Time exist here. No matter how far I am, I can always attack him. I have to win in these 5 minutes or else I have to use that. Time for a bombardment. Stab. Pierce. Crush. Collapse. Compact."
(Silicon thinking)
Gruff receives a brutal onslaught that he can't do anything about.
"Heh heh heh heh. Hahahahahahahahaha. You, what's your name again? Silicon. How did you expect to hit me when you're already dead? In fact you have been dead for a long time now. You're constantly dying right now. Even on timelines where you're a nice guy. I know you can revive yourself so in the planck second you have after you revive come up with something to join the fight again. I'll wait." (Gruff)
"? What does he mean I'm already dead. I'm clearly moving. Wait, this isn't me. This is the emergency conscience transfer. So I'm in a different time. So I keep dying and transferring timeline to timeline infinitely. I've already lost!? No, I need to go back to the original. No time to care. I'm using it." (Silicon)
Silicon revives himself back to the original time at the same time he executes a Skill of great power.
"Looks like your ba-" (Gruff)
"Facie Divinitatis: The True Editor." (Silicon)
Skil In-
"No, I control the pace now." (Silicon)
Skil- I-n-f
"I told you I control th- pa" (Silicon)
Skill Info: 'The True Editor'' type 'Facie Divinitatis'. Silicon gains the ability to edit anything that he knows of. Just know Silicon tried to control the writing but got a bit ahead of himself :)
"Wow, that's one big power boost. Hopefully it's not all for show." (Gruff)
"Gruff is a weak man who has the speed of a snail." (Silicon)
"So this is the extent of your power. Heh I'll show you something real nice. Origin Skill State: Shared Pain." (Gruff)
Skill Info: 'Shared Pain' type 'Origin'. Gruff mitigates all damage and effects used on him by sending it to surrounding life. This includes microorganisms.
"He applied his Command before my skill so my speed is still slow and it's impossible to remove." (Gruff thinking)
"Appraise. So that's how your skill work's. This would be a problem to deal with. Law 'THERE CAN ONLY BE TWO'." (Silicon)
Every Single thing no matter how small is removed. Leaving only Gruff and Silicon. This hurts Silicon also since he was also planning on using Microorganisms.
"There goes my indirect attacks and gimmicks. But I can meet you blade to blade. Let's end this. COME FORTH 'SILICON'." (Silicon)
Silicon summons Silicon a Claymore with a Gray and White Damascus Blade.
"You named it after yourself. It must mean a lot to you. Arise, Itami." (Gruff)
Gruff calls forth Itami a Red and Black, Long Odachi.
"Really an Odachi? How do you expect to swing that around at your speed?" (Silicon)
"The blade doesn't need just speed nor strength. It's one's skills that define them as a true Swordsman. I am without any debate the best Swordsman in the Omniverse. No matter the blade I use, if you fight me one on one I will always win. Now HIT ME." (Gruff)
"Omniverse? I don't how big that is but coming from a god it must be a huge thing. Regardless, I don't care what you have to say at the speed you're at you will not win." (Silicon)
"I see so you've acknowledged me as a god. Well then I fear you've already lost. Come on attack me. (Gruff)
"Since you're asking so badly, fine. 'Silicon (person) is faster than Time'." (Silicon)
Silicon attacks at speeds he could never reach normally. Gathering a lot of momentum to end things in one strike.
"Goodbye Gruff." (Silicon)
"No, Goodbye to You Silicon. Itami: Itami." (Gruff)
"This was a flawless strike hitting beyond the concept of speed, across dimensions, across time. This one swing would devastate an incalculable amount of universes. But I won't be able to use it for a while. Goodbye Silicon, thanks for the fight." (Gruff thinking)
"...huh. Failure. This is how it feels. He was right, it wasn't that they were weak they're all too strong. The upper levels will be delighted. When I join them Gruff will know defeat by me. Skill: Preservation." (Silicon thinking)
Silicon #3 of Limbo has Temporarily Fallen
"All wrapped up here guy's." (Gruff)
"Same." (Iustitia)
"We're all outside cleaning up. The only one left is James. But commutations aren't going through." (Sora)
"Knowing him, It's on purpose. We'll go in if there is no response for 10 minutes." (Gruff)
Inside the Dimension where James and Iro are at.
"Looks like they were all taken out" (Iro)
"Not so strong were they. I'm very shocked. Considering the last 'gift' you left." (James)
"These one's are mainly experiments to mimic the strong. The Paragons are what they are trying to be, Malvado was one of the weakest of the Paragons. Such a shame your 'Trump Card' is only slightly stronger than him alone." (Iro?)
"Don't underestimate the other's. Also I have more methods to gain power over you. Now drop the foolish disguise ROSÉ!" (James)
"No fooling you MESA my dear brother." (Rosé)
"Oh what's this why hello there. These aren't for your eyes for now. Tune in next week? Bye Bye." (Rosé)
Rosé kills the cameraman.
Ugh such a hassle to repair I'll wait :)
