The Cosmic God Of the Heavens raised his hand, signalling the other gods not to interfere. All the gods nodded in agreement except the red-god.
"Is this going be two gods versus a single mortal?" Asher said with a vague grin. His eyes flashed as white lightning intensified; the flames inside him shone brighter as if taunting the red-god.
The Cosmic God let out a small laugh before signalling the red-god to retreat. The red star disappeared as the god nodded before retreating and sitting down with the other gods.
"I hope this should satisfy you, no?" He said as his raven black hair brushed against black-purple flames.
"Oh, I am very satisfied, but the question is, are you satisfied?" Asher said, white lightning intensified beside him. With a smile, he raised his tachi as lightning stroked his entire being.
The entire world got illuminated, leaving the purple flames losing their hue. The sky was divided into a million pieces by bolts of white lightning. The Cosmic God's face was illuminated by white light as Asher's gold runes shone brightly.
The purple-black flames circled him as his hand, holding the Tachi, got covered with white flames. The white flames then extended with intricate designs, eventually covering his body like jewels.
"Spear of the Grand Order!" Asher screamed, his tachi got enveloped by white flames, and the world trembled as lightning pierced the sky, leaving the purple lightning behind in the dust.
The Cosmic God smiled as he screamed:
"Good, show me what you can do; show me why the fateless one chose you!"
'I don't know what am I doing, neither do I know who is the fateless one, but one thing is for sure...'
"I am not dying today," Asher said. White lightning appeared beneath his feet, followed by white flames cracking with lightning. The space cracked slightly as he gritted his teeth.
The tachi in his hands slowly shaped itself. Transforming into a spear. A grin appeared on his face as he felt a new power rise within him. His veins bulged as he felt that he could destroy the world.
The space trembled upon Asher taking a step forward. The ground beneath him cracked, and the smile on the cosmic god's face widened as he saw this.
"Let's begin!" The Cosmic God said a short black sword appeared in his hand. The black-purple flames intensified, several purple-black runes appeared on his hand.
Purple lightning, just as ferocious as the white lightning, tore the sky, a whirlpool of black-purple flames surrounded the sky.
'what?' Asher's pupils contracted in fear; in the middle of the whirlpool was a...
Blackhole.
A blackish aura rose from the man, covering half of his being. The aura went beyond the flames, covering the sky like a behemoth staring at its prey.
The Cosmic God then raised his other hand as he said in his young voice:
"Fall."
The ground beneath him started to rise up, and bits of rocks flew in the air. White lightning cracked behind Asher, and the flames in his eyes intensified. A set of gold runes appeared suddenly, circling him.
'Another hunch.' Asher thought with a smile.
Every single act he had done till now was just based on a hunch.
[You have entered the state of Godhood.]
Asher suddenly heard a voice as a pair of wings appeared behind him. His eyes widened as flames beneath his feet spread out, rivalling the purple flames. Another whirlpool appeared in the sky.
Asher's pupils contracted as a yellow sun appeared in the sky. Suddenly, a power circled within him, the power that forced the space surrounding him to bow down to him.
A grin appeared on his face, staring at the cosmic god in front of him. He finally realised.
'I can defeat him.'
The white-golden wings suddenly got engulfed in flames, the spear in his hands glowing with such illuminance that even the purple flames couldn't rival it.
Raising one of his hands, Asher added:
"Fall"
Instantly, golden runes appeared in the sky, illuminating the world. He suddenly felt a sudden increase in his strength.
"Let's begin."
Instantly, both the cosmic god and Asher vanished. The seated gods let out a small sigh as they looked ahead, seemingly knowing what others couldn't.
A huge explosion occurred that destroyed space into shreds. Asher let out a huge laugh as he rushed forward; the cosmic god grinned, dodging the incoming thrust.
"You can only fight like this thrice! Enjoy it!" The cosmic god screamed as he punched Asher in the abdomen. Instead of flying back, Asher held it, twisting his torso; he delivered a kick to God's face. Sending him back.
Instantly, the god twisted his torso as he went flying back. A set of chains appeared, rushing towards Asher. Instantly, Asher sidestepped the chains, only to find them coming at him again.
With a fast motion, he brought his spear forward, deflecting the chains and setting them ablaze.
The Cosmic let out a huge maniacal scream, appearing in front of Asher. Asher grinned, dodging several blows at once, retaliating with a punch of his own. The Cosmic God dodged it, twisting his torso and kicking Asher in his face.
A trail of blood was left behind as Asher flew back. Immediately, he opened his eyes, twisting his waist, throwing the spear in his hand towards the cosmic god.
The cosmic god grinned, bringing forward his tachi for a slash. A huge explosion occurred as Asher screamed.
"I might be played by a god! but today you will be defeated by a mortal!"
