In a week, Zareth arrives before the dungeon at night with no one around. The entrance is on a hill top surrounded by trees as down the hill is a building with guards around it. Zareth descends in a carriage pulled by dark horses. He gets out and walks towards the entrance to the Abyssal Sanctum, he stares at it. "So, the Abyssal Sanctum. Underwhelming, just the work of that god." He walks into the dungeon.
Nytri is on the 129th floor tinkering with the Clockwork Assassin, she is testing to see if it could access multiple dimensions at once when. *DUUHH!!* Immense pressure falls on Nytri, a chill runs down her spine. "What the heck is that?!" she runs to the 128th floor and sees Paxius staring at the ceiling in unbelief as he sits on his throne. 15 meters form.
Nytri runs up to him "Paxius, what's going on?!" clearly shaken from the pressure.
Paxius keeps staring at the ceiling, "A god has descended into the dungeon." He sighs.
Nytri is shocked, "Why is a god here? Could it be the thing with the demons?"
Paxius looks at Nytri and shakes his head, "That is not reason enough for a god to intervene. Afterall, we're just pawns to them."
"Then why will a god come here?" Nytri visibly shaking looks at the ceiling.
Paxius looks at Nytri, and a reason pops in his head. It fills him with fear, he couldn't even speak. For the first time, Paxius, the final boss of the Abyssal Sanctum is worried. "You."
Nytri tilts her head in confusion. "The god is here for you. But why me? I haven't interacted with any of them before." Nytri can't believe it.
"That's because of your abilities. You're the only human to reach here and you even defeated me alone. Any god would want you as a servant, no a slave." Paxius looks at Nytri with worry.
Nytri feels fear, memories of her past resurface in her heart. She holds her chest as her eyes are teary, "W….W…What do I do now?"
Paxius is pained to see his first friend in such a way. He lowers himself and raise her head with a finger, stares deep into her eyes. "I won't let him take you. I'll do everything I can to prevent that."
Nytri feels relieved for some reason. She manages to calm herself as she starts to formulate simulations of fights against the god. She made a miscalculation.
The emotions that flow through Nytri is sensed by all her subordinates. They are worried, enraged. They focus on the source and find it to be the lone god walking through the dungeon. They attack him without Nytri knowing.
A Few Moments Later.
Nytri is pacing back and forth in the dungeon, her mind running countless simulations of escape. Suddenly, she hears a loud noise and feels the ground shake. She realizes with horror that Zareth has arrived. Nytri sensed her subordinates attacking Zareth, so she ordered them to leave the dungeon all together. Her thoughts, "He's after me. If I leave then he won't harm Paxius and the others."
As she tried to switch places with her variants to escape, she saw Zareth killing all of them as he descended the dungeon. Panic sets in as she realized she is the only one left. She hears the voice of Paxius, her friend, in her mind.
"Nytri, the god has entered this floor." Paxius speaks with fear on the higher floors, he is forcing it down to hide it. "I will try to find a way out for you."
Nytri can hear the fear in his voice. She is helpless as she hears the sound of battle approaching. Suddenly, she hears a loud explosion *BOOOOOM* the ground shakes beneath her. Paxius is attempting to sneak behind Zareth so Nytri could teleport before him and escape. That failed miserably, he actually made eye contact with Paxius. Zareth used his powers and ripped an arm off. "Hmmm, you're not the one I'm after. Urgh, what a waste of time." He left Paxius as he bleeds on the floor.
Nytri is on the 128th floor, she feels it deep in her. "A…A…All my family died." Their souls are in the DATA LAKE but it still isn't a good feeling. Fear turns to anger, then to rage, her pupil shrink as her body has multiple blue glows. She is officially PISSED.
Zareth approaches the 128th floor in a matter of hours despite the size and monsters present. He scared most of the monsters away so he just had to fly deeper. Nytri stares at the entrance as her pupil shrink with a red glow, she growls with hate. She is only about 50 meters from the entrance with the rest of the dungeon behind her spanning for kilometers.
Zareth finally arrives on the 128th floor. "Ahh, this must be the pl- " He lifts his hand before him as a rock struck his hand blocking it. "A rock? It seems you were expecting me." He lands on the ground and starts walking towards her. "I'm Zareth, an Elder god. I've come here for you. You see, you've impressed me. I want to save you from this pit in the ground."
Nytri murmurs almost like whispers, "Save me? You kill all my family and you claim to save me!"
Zareth didn't hear so he continued, "I will make you my servant no, my wife. You have great potential. You aren't worthy of me but I'm willing to lower myself to the likes of you." He grins at Nytri.
"Die." A red aura leak from Nytri.
"Huh? What did you say?" he perks his ears to hear her clearly while approaching her. "Could you repeat, I didn't quite get your 'Yes'. Even if you accept to be mine you should grovel to show yo- "
"I SAID DIE!!" She released Abyss fire like a dragon's breath *WHOOOOM* she charges through it. She activates ARMORED SHELL and makes her hands into longswords. The fire blocks Zareth's vision so he didn't see her but he senses her. Nytri jumps and slashes down, Zareth steps aside as her sword strikes the ground *CLANG*.
Zareth is impressed, "Impressive, but you're no match for me." He flicks her with a finger as she's blown away over 30 meters. He released pressure as he pointed his hand at Nytri. An orb appears in his hand and shoots it towards Nytri. It is aimed at her heart supposed to knock her out, but her instincts warned her as she tries to dodge hitting her lungs. "Truly magnificent, you'll make the perfect dark lord for my lands."
Nytri's lung has a hole which slowly heals *COUGH COUGH COUGH* Nytri is coughing blood, she wipes the blood from her mouth. "Appraisal."

END]
Zareth walks towards Nytri, "You will be very useful in more ways than one. A new unnamed race, all the more reason for me to have you. I am curious of our off- "
"Fush off." Nytri points her sword hand at Zareth and fires earth spikes. He makes a barrier around him.
Zareth face twitches, "You dare insult me?"
"I'll say it again. FUSH OFF!" Nytri sends more earth spikes but from around Zareth.
Zareth approaches her, his eyes glowing with an intense fire. "You should serve me, Nytri," he said, his voice dripping with malice.
Nytri stands her ground, refusing to back down. "I will never serve you."
Zareth's face twisted into a mask of rage as he lunged at Nytri, his attacks fast and furious. He throws a punch and Nytri's senses allowed her to react quickly dodging the punch but the shockwave blows her away.
Zareth follows up with more attack as Nytri barely manages to dodge them. But the shockwaves send her tumbling backwards. Nytri activates her berserk skill causing a red aura to cover her, then releases abyss energy around her. She converts all the EP in the room into abyss energy and freeze the place.
Nytri manipulates the ground with abyss energy and make rock pillars to block Zareth's vision as she tries to create distance between them. All this is done with ENERGY GENERATION skill.
Zareth is annoyed by the tricks as Nytri taunts Zareth with her voice echoing in the room, "What kinda idiot attacks a child? Didn't your mama raise you well?" she says as she is skiing on the ice moving from cover to cover, hoping to make him lose his focus. It works, and Zareth let his guard down as he chases a clone. Nytri is behind the first pillar to block Zareth's vision as Zareth chased a clone.
Nytri looks to the exit to see it blocked, "Tch." She turns to see Zareth chasing the clone, she sees that all his attention is on the clone. Nytri follows Zareth stealthily.
Nytri seizes the opportunity and unleashed her strongest attack, "ABYSSAL VOID. ENERGY GENERATION > ABSORPTION, AMPLIFICATION, BURST, OVERFLOW, CONVERSION. EXTREME HIGH THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS. ENERGY DOMAIN EXPANSION." She makes and abyssal void orb and powers it up by absorbing the EP around it to power the orb. Amplifying the power, making it Burst to cover a wide area. Overflow which sacrifices her HP to power it up even further. Conversion to increase the temperature by a lot and lastly an energy domain for 47% Boost to all stats.
Nytri does all this in mere second before Zareth could turn, she shoves it into his chest. She uses ABYSSAL WAVE to push Zareth away from her. *BOOOOOM!!!* the ground shakes violently as Nytri is sent flying. The smoke clears as Zareth appears, 0 damage. Nytri is shocked as she stared at him with her jaw dropped.
Nytri is in shock, but her clones aren't. Her clones made spears infused with abyss and tried pierced Zareth but he flings them off.
Zareth attacked Nytri's clones relentlessly, he killed all the clones in an instant. Cards appear before Nytri floating as she summoned all of her golems and automata. They all charged at Zareth but they couldn't even leave a scratch Zareth. Zareth use a skill that locked most of her skills as she couldn't create clones or even use EP outside her body. Zareth destroys all the summons and fires a barrage of spells at Nytri while she tries to dodge yet takes damage.
As Nytri struggles to defend herself healing herself constantly, Zareth continues to press her, his attacks growing more ferocious by the second. She is hurt badly, but she refuses to give up. She makes her hand swords into an axe as she fights and defends with it yet. *BOOOOOMM*
Nytri slams into the wall. Before she even falls, Zareth grabs her throat. His grip tightening until she could hardly breathe. "Serve me or I'll break your mind," he threatens.
Nytri spits in Zareth's face. "I'll never serve you.", Nytri tries to absorb Zareth's energy but fails since its infused with godly energy. Zareth attacks Nytri, but this time, she is held to the wall to evade him. Zareth releases his grip letting her fall to the ground, unable to stand.
Zareth towers over her in the air, his eyes burning with rage. "I'll torture you until you beg to serve me," he threatens.
He stabs her arm and crush her bone, Nytri grits her teeth in pain. "Some god you are."
"Huh?" Zareth was curious, her response isn't expected.
Nytri struggled to speak through the pain, "I was thrown into this place, I had to fight for my life every day. And when it's convenient you show up and want to use me. I know the world isn't fair but my luck is the worst. But no matter what, I'll NEVER SERVE YOU." Zareth was enraged as he tosses Nytri to the center of the floor over a 1 kilometer.
*CRACK BOOOM* her bones breaks from the fall. *COUGH COUGH* Nytri coughs blood, she tries to get up despite the immense pain in her body. She limbs on her feet as she aims her left hand at Zareth, she fires bullets of EP out of her hands. She couldn't use skills outside her body, with how battered up she is. She fires EP from her hand through her skin.
"Hmph, so what. I'm a god, you are a mere human. I do whatever I want whenever I want, I will make you mine." Zareth flies to Nytri brushing of all her attacks.
Nytri grits her teeth, "Hump. I….If I was that important to you. You would have helped me when I was abandoned. Not when I can stand on my own feet." She keeps firing as she tries to walk to Zareth.
"Hah! Important?! You are a tool for me to use." He descends to the ground, only 5 meters from Nytri as she still fires at him.
"Being told that to my face is really harsh. That's why I'll never serve you, I finally had a home. I'm not giving it up for some jerk." All her words made Zareth's face crumble with anger. She makes a finger at him, "DIE YOU BASTARD."
Zareth is filled with rage, "HOW DARE YOU! I'LL BREAK YOU AND MAKE YOU SUBMIT. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. YOU WILL SERVE ME!" He raise his hand at Nytri and an explosion hits her as she falls on her back. Her vision looks blurry as she tries to regenerate. Zareth picks her up by the neck, stares deep into her unfocused eyes and throws her over his shoulders. *THUD* Nytri lies on the ground, unable to even feel pain as her vision dims. But her body still moves, she tried to get up on her feet.
