Jayr POV - Tortus, Holy Prects - 2013

  Dazzling ptinum halos and tless twinkling stars.

  A violent wild dark gold torrent of energy, that seems about to rip the fabric of space apart.

  The two sides face each other while the space between us creaks, as we watch each other in silence waiting for the perfeent to strike.

  And soon, the first to break this silence is Ehit that seems to quickly regain his usual calm and arrogance as he pushes out one of his hands and says, "Now, this is the beginning of the game. First... Dane!" and right after that, a lot of light stars rush toward me.

  But it isn't something that simple, the great number of ptinum lights from the halos behi are flying out with a motion that is depig a geometrical pattern.

  There are lights in a spherical shape, then there are also lights that draw a curve like a bde and also lights that are approag while rotating like a b.

  At the same time, I gather my energy and say, "Sorry, but I'll danly with my girls... Torrential Rain!" then ignite my energy, which gathers around my fist and transform into water-like energy that twists around it, and with a punch I release a massive amount of clear blue energy droplets in front of me at ohat, almost like heavy rain, this is a variant of my usual omnidireal teique that I usually use to deal with a massive amount of enemies which focus all the attacks in a single dire, basically my version of Seiya's Ryuseiken or Aiolia's Lightning Psma.

  The ptinum meteor shower and the clear blue water-like energy droplets fill the space to the brim.

  The se is just like a war in the middle ages, where both armies are yelling war cries just before they cshed.

  Those two armies that were even more atrocious thah god cshed aroyed each ht in the middle between their anders.

  Thunderous roars and violent impacts, and fshes are surging out to the degree that one could be deluded to think that it was the birth of a star.

  An untable number of meteors are destroyed, and water-like droplets are extinguished as they csh against all the meteors with pinpoint accuracy.

  Our attacks are struggling for supremacy with their destructive power, and slowly but surely, my teique starts to gain an advantage.

  Seeing that, Ehit tio keep his posure and says full of fidence, "Hou, so you ehis. Then how about the move. Don't you die so easily okay?" and with a creepy smile that seems to dispy his joy, he waves his arm once more.

  Then the brilliant radiance of the halos behind him intensifies, and right after that, lights in humanoid form maed, the silhouettes of the persons which are formed from light itself are also carrying twe swords made from light in their hands, giving them resembh the apostles, at the same time, he expins, "Their ability is at the same level with the apostles." then with wonder in his tone he asks, "However, amidst the illuminating attack of these halos, you also deal with these attag apostles of light that are moving indepely in the end?"

  Even while he was saying such a thing, the apostles of light are created in rge numbers, with Ehit at the ter and the halos behind him, the number of the apostles of light has already easily surpassed a hundred.

  But, in front of such a view that could be described as despairing for some, I simply snort and say, "Hmpf... Using such cheap tricks in front of me. Moreover, you are still using the shape of your old puppets that proved to be useless against me? Aren't you supposed to be the smart and ing God that maniputed and trolled this world for thousands of years? Let me show you how I deal with them..."

  After saying that, I urge even more of my energy and direct it toward my still outstretched arm, increasing the number of the water-like droplets I'm stantly releasing even more.

  And soon my teique starts to overwhelm Ehit's meteors that start to stantly lose ground.

  A, whose ers of the lips are lifted up, ands, "Apostles of light, extermihat unsightly Irregur!" and right after that, the light apostles fly out while shooting light beams.

  But, the light apostles who are moving at high speed that trailed afterimages behind and their beams of light are quickly swallowed by my tless attacks and broke into tless firefly-like pieces until nothing is left of them, at the same time, the energy droplets finally totally overe Ehit's attad reach his position only to crash against his barrier that seems to withstand my attack.

  Still calm, Ehit ents apparently impressed, "To overy magic with the simple number of attacks…it is really something unthinkable for a human. However if it is said in reverse, even the specialty of the irregur only rival me at bes-" but I stop him and yell "Shut up, Shit! I'm not do!"

  And soon after that, the range of torrential downpour of energy droplets, start to narrow down and focus o's barrier, a uhe focused onsught, cracks start to quickly form oer another.

  Then the barrier breaks and quickly my attacks move forward to swallow Ehit's whole body aroy him.

  But Ehit calmly raises his hand like he isn't about to be killed and says with a smile on his featureless face, "So you broke my barrier. Furthermore, your attack truly has the power to harm me even in this pce… You are making me enjoy this, Irregur."

  Then I notice that in front of his raised palm, a small whirling bck sphere appears that starts to swallow all my attacks into it, no matter the number, speed, or power behind it, the supergravity of the small bck hole is able to catch them all.

  Seeing that, I stop my teique and think, 'Of course, he knows how to use Gravity Magic to create a bck hole to defend himself... It seems that normal attacks would not be able to harm him... It seems that I 't uimate him after all, the delicate trol that allows him to do such a thing, also his rea speed that could keep up with my lightspeed blows and block them, is as absurd as expected from someohat calls himself a God.'

  While I was thinking that, Ehit looks at me and says, "Well then, how about this?" and with nonce, he slowly waves his hand.

  Immediately several stretg lights that are moving with an irregur motion like a twisting snake are shoot from the halo, but it doesn't stop there, as huge light bullets with a diameter of around two meters are spewed out in rge amounts like soap bubbles toward me.

  But this time as they are about to reach me, I calmly spread my arms wide and unleash a full-power Omnipotens Dis to create a repulsive force, which pushes away everything in the viity, blowing away and dispersing all of Ehit's attack, and thanks to my God Mode, I don't even have to t to release any of the spells I have mastered at full power.

  The full-pravitational wave unleashed by my spell keeps moving forward uerred no matter how many times Ehit tries to attack he is uo stop it, but just as it is about to reach him, Ehit waves his hand and easily disperses the gravitational wave, and seeing how easily he did it, I narrow my eyes and click my tongue while thinking, 'His mastery over the Age of Gods Magic is way above mine, but it is expected, he had thousands of years of practice, I only 5 or six months... But magi't the only thing I know!'

  A, I gather my energy around my fist which is quickly enveloped in a clear blue water-like orb, then with a pung motion, I shot it toward Ehit and yell, "Tidal unch!!" and in an instant, it is about to hit him with enough power to destroy a p the very least.

  But even feeling the power behind my attack, Ehit calmly ents, "That's something dreadful. But, what meaning it has if it doesn't hit? Great Vortex of White End" and outstretch his two hands forward.

  Then, ahead of Ehit's two hands that he stretched forward, there is ptinum light whirling.

  That sparkling vortex looks just like a silver river, and right after that, the clear blue energy orb with the power of millions of blows pressed together is split into two in front of Ehit as though a siroke has bisected it, and theack is swallowed by the two silver rivers at two sides.

  Seeing that se, makes me almost mutter a Yare Yare (Good Grief) in Jotaro's style, but I don't have the time to do that as a meteor shower rushes from my back at me, a clear indication that Ehit is now using Spatial Magiot only to defend but also to attack me as I sehat he teleported these attack to try to catch me by surprise, but it is useless, as I simply will the two tear-like shields slowly rotating behio move and intercept all the attacks.

  And like funnels, the two shields move at a speed faster than light, and soowo blue fshes moves and intercept all the meteors destroying all of them before returning back to their usual position and beginning to once again slowly rotate behind my back, seeing that I smirk and think, 'As I thought... With that speed and hardness, they aren't limited to only defehey also be used for offense as homing ons...'

  Seeing that his surprise attack failed, Ehit shows a posed smile and says, "e to think of it, Irregur. How did you finish off Alvaheit? He too was more or less my retaihat possessed divinity. Even if it was you, I don't think that he would be killed that easily" I look at him for a few moments and reply, "He wasn't really strong, you know? He easily died while begging for his life unsightly. Even the monsters in byrinths have muts than something like that."

  Ehit keeps his creepy smile and says, "Hou, easily you say." then he snaps his finger, and at the same time, suddenly thunders rain down from empty space.

  Those thuhat are focused and pressed to the limit and already bee spears made from lightning, but even so, this ferocious attack is only at the lightspeed level, and I'm easily able to read dodge with minimal movement, then I say, "Lightning speed attack from random coordihat is instantly invoked… You have to do better than that... I'm way too used to such things..."

  Meanwhile, Ehit g me and tinues his talk as though nothing had happened, "Nothing you could hide from me. I know already. You invoked a cept Magic, right? Although not even in my dream I could imagine you would produce a cept so powerful that could even possibly defeat Alvaheit, that was ued even for me… Moreover, the cept you invoked is really iing, this new energy that seems to enpass everything... So mysterious, so alien, but at the same time, so primal, powerful, and flexible, different from magic power but is full of infinite possibilities the same way..."

  Then his smile grows wider as he says, "I even sehat the energy you are using is a plex mix of the two... How fasating..." he seems to be basking in joy, and at the same time, I start to have a bad feeling about it.

  Then he licks his lips smoothly, and says, "This energy seems to be an intricate e with life itself, in fact, if I have to pare the two, Mana feels like a natural force of nature, while this energy feels like a fual force of the Universe... And one doesn't reject the other... Luckily you have spent a lot of time in the various zones of my Holy Prects, givihe time to study this energy and have a simple grasp of it... I have to thank you, Irregur..."

  And as he says this, I sehat Ehit is starting to manipute the o around us, gathering into his body, which is in fact his soul, that starts shining in a ptinum light as the halos behind him merge into his body, then I also sense him using various Age of Gods Magi the o gathered in his soul, and soon a bright fsh of ptinum light temporarily blinds me f me to y eyes, but with my other senses, I keep my focus o ready in case of another of his surprise attacks.

  But soon I'm shocked to find out that I sense something new ing from Ehit, I sehat he is creating a new body by verting the o around us into matter using Creatioamorphosis, and Spirit magic, boosting them with Evolution Magid quickly realize, 'This is bad... The only thing holdi back from destroying Tortus is that he needs a body to be able to leave the Holy Prects... But now he has nothing holding him back... Well, nothing but me...'

  While I was thinking that, the light fades away, and opening my eyes, I look at Ehit's new form, 'I should have expected...'

  What greets my sight is an absolutely handsome angel-like man, he looks like a male version of the Apostles, only he has ptinum long hair, eyes, and wings, donning a pure white robe with ptinum ors all over it, I also notice that the halos appear again behind him.

  (Image Here - Ehit's body)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Of course, the handsome face quickly bees twisted as the usual annoying creepy grin forms on his face as he says while ughing, "Ha, ha, ha! This is perfect! The perfect body able to host my soul and powers without any problems! Now nothing stop me from ending this game and starting a new one in another world! Ha ha ha!"

  But as he ughs, I let out a fake cough to focus his attention bae, and then I say, "Well, you fot about me... I still kill you and abruptly end your awful games..."

  Hearing that, Ehit ughs out loud and says, "Fuhah, you still believe that. If before you had a little ce to harm me, now that I have a body that ce of yours is pletely gone..."

  And after saying that, Ehit snaps his finger once more, and right after I feel my body enveloped in a spatial distortion, log my movement.

  Then without pause, Ehit whispers with a malevolent grin on his face, "Maion of Perceived Nightmare."

  I sense his magic power trying to invade my brain, quite a familiar sensation but simply by burning my energy, I quickly reject the invading magic power, 'Really he tried to pull something simir to Ikki's Hoo Genma Ken on me? e on! Since I was 6 years old I train to withstand such teiques...'

  After dealing with that, I urge my energy to break free from the spatial impriso, and quickly move to dodge another spear-like lightning bolt, then I look at Ehit and say, "You know what they say: Greater the pride, greater the fall..." while at the same time, I mentally anize what I gathered about Ehit until now, 'Deployment of teique, the scale of invocation, power, every single aspect which easily surpass the stro magic user I have met until now. There is also no sign of his magic power running out, so like me, he probably access an almost limitless amount of Magic Power. He also has great mastery over the Age of Gods Magic... Basically anyone else, but Hajime, Miledi, Oscar, and I would have been instantly killed... With only Hajime having a ce to win...'

  And while thinking that, before he could read have a ce to attack me again, I quickly hold my hands out over my head, pointing towards Ehit with open palms, and quickly gathering my energy, I yell, "White Ice Spears!" and throw my hands down, and cross them.

  My energy solidifies into numerous solid spears of ice, that move at the speed of light toward Ehit, and as this is one of the teiques that have the stro peive power, it easily pass through the two white vortexes at his side.

  But Ehit simply lifts his hand and raises a triple-yered barrier in front of him, and as the ice spears break through the three yers, their power decrease, and soon they are uo ighe effect of the two white vortexes staying at both sides of Ehit, and their trajectory vainly twist and in the end, they get swallowed and pressed into the spatial vortex until they disappear.

  The decres, "I am a God. And with this new body, as long as I have automatic regeion, then your attacks won't even make me feel itchy but… Know that even toug me is an insolence."

  And then, even while saying such a thi waves his hand in a plicated gesture with a wide grin as though saying that this is payback.

  Right after that, the space all around me including above and below burst open, produg a tremendous impact, furthermore, from behind, a lot of light stars are already there moving toward me.

  This kind of attack doesn't leave me any space to dodge, not even by telep because the space distortion around me makes it impossible, so I simply prepare to take it head on, fully trusting the defense of my God Cloth.

  And with a thunderous roar, the impact of space rupture from all dires hits me with a level of power parable to that of a Gold Saint blow.

  But the Cloth is easily able to withstand and nullify the fierce impacts without receiving any damage, and soon after, the storm of stars hits me oer another, but those attacks are way weaker than the previous ones, and the only thing that they are able to do is impair my sight with their brightness.

  Then with my senses, I feel Ehit smirking as if the defensive power of the God Cloth is nothing more than an iing sideshow, then he suddenly stops his assault and lifts his hand to create a bluish-white fme on his palm, and then, he blows it off gently to fly toward me.

  The blue fme soars softly without any sound, and o is close enough to me, I simply grab it with a hand c it in my energy to make sure that I hold the bluish-white fme, then without wasting any time, I freeze it and crush it into many pieces, that fall on the ground with a tinkling sound that resounds all over the space.

  Right after that, I hear Ehit's amused voice, "Ohh? You were even able to blod freeze my Divine Fme, something that is able to pee every obstacle aroys only its target... That wasn't something I expected, moreover, your armor was able to withstand my attacks without any problem, it seems that the 'God' in its name is well deserved..."

  Looking at him, I notice a wry smile on his face, but he still appears very rexed.

  In fact, it seems that he is enjoying himself, as he is in no hurry to deal with me and the other people on Tortus, so much so that he starts to monologue once more, "Your existence is truly Irregur. Because of Freid's appearahe bance of the game was almost broken, so in order to make it more enjoyable I brought in people with power from another world yet… you appeared and bee a strong person that not even my favorite could bare his fang to."

  Curious about his choices, I ask, "Why, did you do something like summoning, and why only now?" to which he replies, "Different from in the past, there was no capable person in this presehat was capable of opposing Freid you see. Never I imagihat other than the vampire princess, even the dragon race is also still surviving. Both of them were hidden skillfully. …If there is no good pawn in this world then nothing could be done except by providing it from another world"

  Hearing that I mutter, "…Another world, huh" Ehit nods and tinues, "Correct. Although the e to their world is pletely a ce. It was a result that cides with my search for a person with a high affinity that could possibly bey vessel. Even fod body, crossing the boundary of the world is not something easy. To say nothing of a soul without a vessel, even directly interfering with outside Holy Prects is difficult. As a result, I somehow succeeded in dragging down someone from above world but… including an Irregur like the oh the vampire princess, there were also two ued extras ing along here..."

  Then with a creepy grin, he adds, "Although, thanks to that I was able to create the best vessel possible, eveer than the ohought had been lost three hundred years ago, that's why this could be said as a windfall. Fufu, with this I exhibit my power in full even outside the Holy Prects. Crossing over to another world is also easy" and while saying this, he opens and closes his hand while basking in joy.

  Then I ask something that was on my mind as soon I got in tact with Alva a in persoruje... What are you?", he stands still for a moment, then he answers, "What a really abstract question that is, Irregur. But, no matter what is said, naturally, the answer has been decided. I am the god that created and ruled over everything."

  But hearing that, I snort and say, "No, you or no God or anything. You didn't create this world, you are also not ruling over everything. You are not a supernatural existehat mankind imagined. You are merely aehat is possessing phtier than mankind" Ied in what I just said, Ehit asks, "…Hou. With what kind of basis you are saying such a thing?"

  And I simply expin, "Isn't that simple? Your perception ot detect Yue who was at the bottom of the abyss, and also the dragon race who hid outside this ti, or even me when I came to this world. Your strength and senses only reach this ti, eve's only at the scale that doesn't reach the abyss. Power at that level is just too tiny for the creatht?" amused, Ehit ughs then he asks, "Ku ku ku, to call someone like me as tiny. And? If I am not a god then what am I?"

  And finally putting all the pieces together I answer, "You are like Hajime and the others, a human from another world..."

  Still calm Ehit ents, "Hmm. Because I am not a god but I possess a mighty power, then I must be a human from the outside world the same as you all… That's your reasoning?"

  I shake my head and expin, "Not only that. In the first pce, it was already strange by the point of time that you know about the cept of the 'outside world'. 'Because there is none in this world then search for a capable person from another world'…su idea won't e out unless you know about the existence of another world right from the start. Even in my world that is overflowing with fantasy eaihat cept is only a wild idea. If you are aen the level that is able to create the world then I accept that, but just like I said just now, you are not an all-knowing and almighty supernatural existence, based on that it's only natural to think that you know about the existence of another world by the same reason, you have already traveled to another world before."

  Hearing those words, Ehit goes "hmm" and nods ohen he begins to cp dramatically, "Splendid, perhaps that's what I should say. Indeed I am a human from another world. inally, I only reached the height of magic. Although, through the passing many months and years the gathered faith granted my divinity that sublimated my soul, through that, there is no doubt that I am a God."

  I shake my head and say, "Yeah, you have a hint of Divinity in you, but it is way too weak for it to be pared to the Gods I know a-".

  But the doesn't make me end my speech as he suddenly lifts his hand, and right after that, thunder booms iy air, blue fme explodes, strong wind storms, the air froze, white smoke whirls, a, five heavenly dragons are created from those elements, and I quickly notice that they aren't simple spells, but more like true living monsters created by the bined use of Metamorphosis Magid elemental spell of the highest order.

  Looking at them I take my stance while muttering, "Okay, time for round two..."

  Odyin
