Juno! *Tries to hit Juno again with his hammer* *Juno blocks it* Juno: ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± *Juno kicks Darias on the head sending him against the ground generating a huge cratera* *Juno go to the ground* Juno: ¡°Hmpf, so much for the God of Beauty. Ah well..¡± *Juno starts walking away* *A sudden huge explosion starts behind Juno* *An immense energy is in the air* Juno: ¡°Ah almost forgot..when an ArchGod dies..his true form comes to play.¡± *Juno turns back to the explosion, smirking¡± *Darias show¡¯s up, bigger in size, ugly like a monster* Juno: ¡°Oh the irony..the God of Beauty finally show¡¯s his true face.¡± Darias: ¡°YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, HUMAN!!!¡± *Juno prepares a punch with his right hand* *Juno throws the punch* *Juno¡¯s punch impact on Darias completely removes his skin (Darias), instantly killing him.* *Juno walks away* (The desert) Juno: ¡°Aight, let¡¯s see if I get a session with the princess.¡± Unknown voices: ¡°Stop right there!¡± Juno: ¡°hum?¡± Unknown voices: ¡°Move any muscle and we will end you right on the spot!¡± Juno: ¡°Oh come on, I haven¡¯t even started to fight the princess and you¡¯re already here..¡± Unknown Lady Voice: ¡°Well I anticipated your arrival, Juno.¡± Juno: ¡°Oh, longtime no see, Takira.¡± Takira: ¡°Well this sure will be the last.¡± ¡°Take him out guards.¡± Juno: ¡°Guards? Are you that lonely to the point of making imaginary friends?¡± *Takira looks surprised* Takira: ¡°What have you done?¡± Juno: ¡°Nothing, you¡¯re always alone. It isn¡¯t my fault that you thought you had an army.¡± *smirks* Takira (furious): ¡°You will pay for this!¡± *Takira starts charging attacks using the sand around her* *Juno easily dodges every attack* Juno: ¡°stroke a nerve hum?¡± Takira: ¡°Enough of your games! I¡¯ll end this right now!¡± Takira: ¡°Godo-modo.¡± *Takira enters Godo-modo* *Takira morphs with the sands* Juno: ¡°You think hiding will to the thing? Come on if you¡¯re just going to hide and throw sand to me the whole day than you may as well just stay in the ground forever.¡± Juno: ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll teach you something about energy then.¡± *Juno approaches the ground* Juno: ¡°You see..everything has some energy, even non animated stuff like the sand. And just like everything in creation, they try to get balance. Don¡¯t you wonder what would happen if the small energy gets overwhelmed by a stronger energy? *Smirks* *Juno starts emitting strong energy* Takira (thinking): ¡°Fuck, the pressure it¡¯s too high even for my vast quantity of sand to hold it, if I don¡¯t leave I¡¯ll..¡± *Takira shows up, coming from the sands* *Takira struggles to breath because of the immense energy difference. Juno: ¡°Exactly.¡± *continuing smirking* Takira: ¡°Damn you..¡± ¡°Wait where are you?¡± Juno: ¡°Poor thing.. To think that just because you control something that makes you a princess. Allow me to show you, how insignificant someone like you are to my eyes. *Takira looks shocked, she realized she was on Juno¡¯s palms* Juno: ¡°To me, you¡¯re not more than a gran of sand, in this very desert.¡± *Juno smashes Takira with his hand* Juno: ¡°Booring, it¡¯s already midday and I haven¡¯t done anything productive. ¡°Damn it.¡± *Juno flys away* (Asgard, the 9 realms) Unknown: ¡°Finally the time of your defeat comes Thor! Me and my brothers shall end this once and for all!¡± *Juno arrives to Asgard* *Juno smashed something with his feets* Juno: ¡°Hum? What¡¯s this?¡± *Juno goes back* Unknown: ¡°That hurt. Who the heck you think you are? Wait..you are..Juno?!¡± Juno: ¡°Oh a Ice Troll, didn¡¯t even see you there.¡± Ice Troll: ¡°I see, so finally the God-Killer is joining us on our fight against the Aesir!¡± Juno: ¡°Nah, I¡¯m a solo player.¡± ¡°Also, my mission here is already done.¡± Ice Troll: ¡°Mission?¡± *Many thunder sounds* Someone Screaming Furiously: ¡°JUNOOOOOOOOO!!!!¡± Ice Troll: ¡°Oh finally, come and fight me Thor! ¡°Let¡¯s finally se-..¡± *Thor arrives at full speed, smashing the Ice Troll into pieces* *Thor hits Juno with Mj?lnir, breaking is jaw.¡± You might be reading a stolen copy.

Or perhaps I just joined your dream.¡± Odin: ¡°How..doens¡¯t matter. What do you want?¡± Juno: ¡°From you? Nothing. In fact, I¡¯m just worried about you.

I would love to watch that happen.¡± *Juno punches Odin* *Odin opens his right eye, activating his power* *Odin freezes time inside the dream* Odin: ¡°That will do.¡± Juno: ¡°Stalling? I mean, it¡¯s only in the dream, so it kinda works, smart!¡± Juno: ¡°However..you¡¯re late.¡± Odin: ¡°What? I still have a whole minute left!¡± Juno: ¡°Is it?¡± *Juno starts moving his right arm slowly* Odin: ¡°That¡¯s a lot of power you have in there, but not enough to break my eye¡¯s power!¡± *Juno¡¯s blade appears on his right hand* Juno: ¡°He-getsu.¡± *Juno releases a shockwave of immense damage from his blade swing* Odin: ¡°What¡¯s that immense power?¡± *Odin takes the He-getsu* *10 sec remaining* *Everything is covered in white* Odin: ¡°I *grasp* give you my props, kiddo.

Don¡¯t you know what day is today?¡± Juno: ¡°Oh? Of course I know, today is Creation day, heck how could I ever forget? Stop annoying me with that bullshit Toffee.¡± Toffee: ¡°I mean, you still on your quest slaying Gods, why don¡¯t you just end it already with a slap of your fingers and just go to the party? You¡¯re the main attraction after all!¡± Juno: ¡°Eh, what¡¯s the fun of that? That would just be lame.¡± Toffee: ¡°As you wish, I just would like to see you doing something else for once.¡± Juno: ¡°You think? I haven¡¯t done shit today.

Chapter 1: The Afterlife Book 1: The Pillar of Creation Ep 1: The afterlife Location: Human world Juno (thinking/narrating): "Death... Such an interesting thing. No one knows what happens after we die, yet, those who try to avoid it the most are the ones who end up meeting it first." Unknown: "ah...it¡­ seems like *cough* *cough* it seems like my time has.."*silence* Juno: Yes Grandpa, I know. *Juno stares at the Oldman¡¯s dead body* Juno: "I wonder what comes next..." *sudden sad face* *Door opens* Unknown: "Juno, another one!" Juno: "Coming." Juno (thinking): I wonder what''s after dead. Do we.... simply die? Nothing else? To think we spend a whole lifetime, to just, die." *As Juno and the Unknown man are walking through the next room, a tear comes from Juno''s face* Unknown: "It''s alright if you don''t want to keep on, kid." You''ve seen much more death than I ever did. You should just move on, get a hobby. It''s not healthy for a kid of your age to be surrounded by so much dead." *Juno looks to the dead body lying on bed* Juno: "Isen, what do you think is the next step of life?" Isen: "Next step? There is none." *Isen becomes white and serious* Isen: "What kind of question is that anyway? You''re still too young to be worried about that. Go out and play with the other kids." Juno: "Ah, I''ll go." *Juno leaves the wood-made building* *The sound of kids playing outside* *Juno stares at those kids playing* Juno (thinking): "Too young... that''s a nice way to avoid dead." *Next that day* Juno: "I''m home." Juno''s Father: "Where have you been? It''s been night for a good while." Juno''s Mother: "You were in the graveyard center weren''t you?" *sigh* Juno: "Ah, you know I have to." *Juno''s Father drops a tear* Juno''s Father: "Is..Grandpa really dead?" Juno: "Yes." Juno''s Mother: "It''s too late now, let''s go to bed." *They go to bed* *Later that night* Juno (thinking): "Yep, he is dead. There is just no coming back, his journey is over. Not afterlife, just memories, that fade away with time.. Time kills things, not dead. Many people die, in just a small of time. Those life are gone, forever. ... Will I... just die too?" *Juno starts crying* Juno (thinking): "To cease to exist.." *The next day, morning* *Juno''s Father enter Juno''s room* Juno''s Father: "Hey kid, about your grandpa... Juno?!" *Juno''s Mother: "What''s wrong?" Juno''s Father: "He¡­ he went there again." *Later on the Graveyard center* *Isen arrives to the center* Isen: "Oh? Juno? You''re already here?" Juno: "Ah, 3 more deaths during the night, I just couldn''t let it go without a watch." *Isen has a serious face/ Isen: "Juno.. ." Juno: "Are you afraid of dead too?" Isen (thinking): "Too..." Isen: "There is no shame on being afraid of dead, Juno¡­ It''s only natural." Juno: "I am not afraid of dead. I just don''t want to cease to exist. That''s it." *Isen is surprised* Isen: "No one knows how''s like to be dead. Perhaps it is only the beginning." *Juno sighs* Juno: "Perhaps." Juno (thinking): "But what if it isn''t?" Juno: "Excuse me, I got to go now" *Isen looks confused* Isen: "See you later Juno, take some rest." Juno: "Bye." *Juno leaves the center* *Juno walks* Juno (thinking): "Dead doesn''t scare me¡­ nothing does. I just... can''t get over the fact that we know nothing about what''s next." *starts raining* Juno (thinking): "A sudden rain? I better get home asap before I get a cold." *Juno walks home* Juno: "I''m home." *no answer* Juno (thinking): "Hm? Well it seams like I''m finally alone." *Juno goes to his bed* Juno (thinking): "Isen is right¡­ I should rest. But then... that''s exactly how you call dead." *Juno tries to imagine how is it to be dead* Juno: "Nothing."Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. *Juno starts crying* Juno (thinking): "There is nothing¡­ not even black. Not a though, not a voice, just nothing." *Juno closes his eyes* Juno (thinking): "It is¡­ just¡­ terrifying." *Sometime after* *Juno opens his eyes* Juno (thinking): "Still none home.." *Juno gets up and goes to the center* Juno (thinking): "Aaaaand another dead. The usual." *Isen walks there* Isen: "No, no, no, no This is bad, we''re losing it, FAST!" Juno: "Eh calm down, this is normal, it''s not like someone else is going to show up and help you anyway. *no answer form Isen* *Isen keeps doing is job* Juno: "Fine I got it, I should rest, bl¨¢blabla... I''ll go out." *Juno leaves the center* *somewhere later in Juno''s village* *and old man approaches Juno* Old Man: "Oh boy, can you tell me where can an Old Man like me get some ladies?" *Juno notices the old man, confused* Juno (thinking): "Is that¡­ Old Man Kaizo?" Juno: "Euh.." Old Man Kaizo: "Ahah I''m just messing with you kiddo!" Aren''t you the center kid anyway? What are you doing here?" Juno: "Yeah, I''ve decided to give it a break for today." Old Man Kaizo: "Break hum? Ah yes, the break, we all need one from time to time." Juno: "Old Man Kaizo..if I may¡­ how are you..?" Juno (thinking): "He just died yesterday¡­how is he¡­ ?" Old Man Kaizo: "Alive? Well I don¡¯t know." I just remember that you were there, at the center, helping me with Isen. Than I just stood up, thanked you, and came to the village." Juno: "What?" *looking confused* Old Man Kaizo: "And then I started meeting with all those of the village who were dead many years ago! We had a lot of talk to put on hehe¡­ Oh yeah and all that pain and broken bones just got cure by a miracle, isn''t that great? Look I''m as new as you ahah!" *Juno is shocked* Juno: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I get it now! I''m dreaming. I felt asleep in my bed last night and now I''m dreaming, ahah!" *Laughs* Old Man Kaizo: "I too thought about that kiddo, but it turns out it is way better than just a dream! It''s a miracle! Life after dead! Kinda." *Old Man Kaizo laughs hard* Juno: "Wait¡­ you mean... this is real?!" *Shouting from behind* Unknown: "Oh hey Old Man Kaizo, I''ve been looking for you! Oh it''s Juno, good to see you back again!" *Juno recognizes the voice* *Juno''s shocked* Old Man Kaizo: "Oh if it isn''t Masako-chan! Come say hello to our new guest here! *laughs* Juno (thinking): "I died?" Masako: "Juno! Damn and I thought death had a preference for old ones, eh eh.. I think we were both unlucky with life hem?" *laughs* Juno (thinking): "Fuck." *later that day* *on another village* Juno: "So this is what happens to everyone who dies?" Masako: "Yep, we all get a second chance! Well¡­ it''s not like you get revived or anything, we cannot interact with the livings" Juno (thinking): "So that''s what happen with Isin at the center.. I was already dead. Wait.." *Juno starts running* Masako: "Juno?!" *Juno arrives to the center* *Juno goes to the room where he last saw Isen* Juno: "It can''t be.." *Juno stares at the dead body on the ground* Juno: "It''s me." Juno (thinking): "That''s it, I''m dead." *Juno walks away* *Juno arrives again to the village* Juno (thinking): "All this years obsessed with dead for it to be just this? What''s the meaning of this?! Masako-Chan¡­ he died when I was just 5! I''m 16 now.. That means he has been here for 11 years.." *Juno looks around* Juno (thinking): "There are just¡­ so many people here.. perhaps even more than among the living ones.. and judging by their aspect and clothes¡­ they must''ve died far longer than Masako-Chan, or even Old Man Kaizo!" *People start running, euphoric* Juno: "Euh¡­ what''s happening? Why are they running?" *A kid runs into Juno* Kid: "Oh I''m sorry, I didn''t see you there" Juno: "No problem. So¡­ what''s happening?" Kid: "What do you mean what''s happening? Where have you been?" *Juno looks confused* *Kid points out to a big men far away of the village* Kid: "There, you must go there and pray for him" *Juno looks surprised* Juno: "What-a.. Who''s that big men? And how is he so big?!" Kid: "Just come!" *Juno starts running with the kid in the direction of the big men* Some random people: "Faster! We have to give him our favors asap!" Juno: "Favors?" Kid: "Faster!" A giant echo voice: "Come forth my fellow dead beings! Yeah yeah yeah! Come and give me more gifts! I promise to take care of your love ones who still alive!" Juno: "What the heck did he mean with that?" Kid: "I have to give that big guy my clothes so he can take care of my mother in the world of livings!" Juno: "What?" *Masako caches up with them* Masako: "That''s right Juno, that big men you see over there.. that''s a God!" Juno: "A..god?!" Masako: "Yep, and guess what, he is the one who looks for our family while we''re dead! He promises us things as long as we gift him and love him! He only shows up every 7 suns, and just stays for a couple times, so we better get there asap otherwise he will just leave us!" Juno (thinking): "A god.." Juno: "Do you think that God would stay a little bit more if someone had any questions for him?" *Masako laughs* Masako: "Like you like many, everyone tries to make him stay, but to be honest I''ve never seen or hear him talking to anyone else besides himself ahah." Juno: "So there is no use..*sigh*" Masako: "Let''s go faster, he might get impatient of waiting!" All around: "Aight!" *An sudden earthquake begins* All: "ooooaaahh!!!" Juno: "What''s that? What''s happening?" Masako: "Yes this is wonderful! Another God is coming Juno! Double favors here we go!" *Laughs* *Everyone gets lost from each others because of the earthquake* *None gets hurt, earthquake stops* *They are separated from Juno by many rocks* Masako: "Oh shit, we''re kind of stuck here, there are stones everywhere and the village is destroyed Jez.." Juno: "euh..it''s alright let''s just go around it.." Kid: "We don''t have time for this we need to run!" Masako: *sigh* "Well I''m sorry Juno but we''ll have to continue without you, don''t worry I''ll pray for your family too!" Juno: "Ah, thanks, I''ll go the other way still, I''ll see if I can at least catch that other God" Masako: "Alright see you later" *They run in opposite ways* *Juno runs into a forest* *On the forest* Juno: "Well¡­ would it be more reasonable to look for where the damage is bigger, or smaller? What am I even talking about, I dunno what the heck I should be looking for.. Damn I just want answers.." *Juno just found something big on the other side of the forest* Juno: "A god! It has to be!" *Juno runs in that direction* Big echoed voice: "Come my children, for I am Gulian, the ArchGod of Hope I shall give you the power to stay dead and not be enter isolation!" Juno (thinking): "So this one is a God of Hope? Well it kinda goes well, I hope he gives me some answers..! And ArchGod..¡± *Juno runs even faster* *Suddenly Juno has no longer foot on the ground* *Juno''s confused* *Juno looks to the ground* Juno: "Fuck." *There is a huge hole under Juno* *Juno fells into that huge hole on the ground* Juno: "shit shit shit shit shit.." *The hole starts closing* Gulian, the ArchGod of Hope: "Hun? Why is my portal closiiiiiiinggg?" *Gulian looks surprised* *In that portal hole* *Juno is still falling* Juno (thinking): "So that''s it.. this is my end. instead of being dead-alive praising a God like Masako and that kid.. I''m here, trapped on a bottomless hole. [2 hours later] Did I really deserve this? [3 hours later] What killed me anyway? [30 minutes later] ... [24 hours later] How much..time..has passed? [...] am I even..still..existing? Or is this, dead itself? The afterlife.. This is driving me insane. I don''t even know for how long I''ve been on this damn hole.. [much time after] What if I never leave this hole? Is not like it would matter anyway.. I don''t feel hunger, pain, dead. Just a small struggle. And the necessity to..leave this god-damn hole!!" *a flash of light shows up* Juno: "Light? Can it be?.." Juno: "Wait..those are.. Clouds? I''m on the middle of clouds?" *Juno looks up* Juno: "That''s..the sky?! It''s blue! I''ve been falling from the sky this whole time?!" *Juno looks arround him* Juno: "Are those..castles on the ground?! And bridges.. villages?! no, it''s way way bigger!" *Juno starts falling faster and faster* Juno: "Shit I''m falling at full speed now!" *Juno falls into a lake* *glu glu glu* *Juno immerges from the lake* Juno: "uuf, besides his green color this is just a lake after all" *Juno gets out of the lake* *Juno looks around* *Juno is amazed and scared* Juno: "What''s this place anyway? And how the heck did I survive?! Oh yeah..I''m dead." *Laughs* For real doe..what''s this place? It''s definitely not my home.." *Sounds coming from the water* *Something comes from the water* Something: "See, I told ya there was a human falling from the sky! I was right! As always! *laughs* *Juno''s surprised* Juno: "Are you a talking animal?" Something: "Talking animal? So you''re species have finally evolved to recognize the animals language? *laughs* I''m not an animal, my names I Arbihime, and you are?" Juno: "Juno. but.." Arbihime: "Pleased to meet ya Human Juno. I guess I''m what you people call, a God." Juno: "A God?!" *surprised* Arbihime: "Hmmmmm what''s the deal? What''s wrong with me being a God hum?" *Laughs coming from the top of a tree next to Juno* Something: "Ain''t that obvious? He is surprised cuz you''re not as big as the ones he knows" kkkk *laughs* *Something comes out of the tree* Something: "Hi human, my names is Clarietta, please to meet ya. And yes, I''m also a God." Juno: "Pleased to meet ya.." Arbihime: "Pff, if he thinks everyone here is like those stupid Gods from his dimension than he might as well just get the fuck out of here asap! We don''t like strangers around here anyway!" Clarietta: "Arbihime come on, he is probably going to be the only Human you will ever see, can''t you at least be a little bit more kind?" Arbihime: "Pf.." *Juno interrupts* Juno: "I''m sorry but I''m just curious..the other Gods they all had something to give in change for things..do you even something too?" Clarietta: "Something to give.." Arbihime: "He means powers you idiot! Jez.. Already asking for stuff. As I said we''re nothing like your little Human Gods!" Clarietta: "Anyway, we don''t do that kind of things, to be fair.. we don''t even go to your dimension at all!" Juno: "My dimension? Are the others? Is this one another too?" Clarietta: "I.." *The sound of a portal opening* Arbihime: "Wait not here. That''s HIS portal." Clarietta: "You''re right, We must go. Come with us Juno. Fast!" Juno (thinking): "Here I go running again.." *sometime after* Juno: "So..where are we heading to anyway?" Arbihime: "Jez can''t you just shut up for a second human?" Clarietta: "We know you have a lot of questions, but we don''t have time to tell you everything you want. We will although, have to keep you here for some more time before you can go back to your dimension." Juno: "Right.." Clarietta: "We''re here." Juno: "Hun? What''s this?" Arbihime: "Oh great, this Human has never seen a temple, greaaaaaaaat." Clarietta: "Let''s go in." *They enter the temple* *A Big Men is sitting on an altar on the middle of the temple* Big Men: "Arbihime, Clarietta, What can I do for you?" *Big Men looks surprised by seeing Juno* Clarietta: "You see.. his name is Juno. And he fell from a Portal.." Big Men: "I see..and?" Clarietta: "and.." Arbihime: "And he is a Human! A Human from the Human Dimension who fell from one of the Portals!" Clarietta: "Uh...yes." Big Men: "A Human..from one of the Portals? That''s impossible. Our portals cannot be seen by any Human." Juno: "You see...I kinda am dead.. *awkward laughs* Big Men: "I can see that." *Juno looks surprised* Big Men: "I am Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity. Which kinda suites you in this situation. If you were found by any other gods and brought to any other ArchGod.. perhaps you would even exist anymore." *Juno looks confused* Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "Why didn''t you sent him back to the Human dimension anyway?" Clarietta: "Because Garaam had just come from a portal too.." Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "I see, good move there. He wouldn''t hesitate on doing is duty." Arbihime: "So what now Master?" Clarietta: "Arbihime!" Arbihime: "What? We''re in a big danger by keeping this Human here! Even our Master Gowan is!" Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "It''s alright, you''ve done enough. You shall leave now." Clarietta: "Right Master." Arbihime: "You heard him Human, let''s go home!" Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "He stays." *Clarietta and Arbihime look surprised* Arbihime: "What?!" *Clarietta picks Arbihime by the arm and goes away with him* Juno: "So..thank you for saving me..?" Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "You need to rest." Juno (thinking): Great..that again." Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "And be cautious, I can hear your thoughts. " *Juno is surprised* Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity: "And I know you have a lot of questions.. I''ll answer them all as you wish, but tomorrow. Now, we rest, Juno." Juno: "... Thanks." End of episode 1: The Afterlife. Chapter 2: Into the Wolf Chapter 2: Into the Wolf synopsis: Juno gets new clothes! Juno learns more about the dimensions and where he is. Meanwhile Arbihime and Clarietta go on a dangerous rescue mission on another temple but something goes wrong.. [morning] Juno wakes up in a room inside the temple, the room is empty, having only a bed and a big window. From that windows comes light from the sky, it is already morning. Juno (thinking): ¡°So this wasn¡¯t a dream after all..¡± Some old clothes are on the floor, Juno ignores them. Juno leaves the room, walking past a huge corridor with many doors and windows, arriving to the center of temple, where he finds Gowan¡¯s altar, empty. Suddenly, Juno hears a sound. *Gowan moans* Gowan (as walking from another corridor to the altar): ¡°Oh? You¡¯re already awaken?¡± ¨C asks Gowan, surprised by seeing Juno Juno: ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t sleep much.¡± *Gowan moans* Gowan: ¡°I see. So, how was your night?¡± Juno: ¡°Night was good but I keep having some difficulty in breathing here..¡± Gowan: ¡°Oh that¡¯s because we don¡¯t have much air on this dimension, you¡¯ll get used to it.¡± Gowan stares at Juno. Gowan: ¡°Was there anything wrong with the clothes I gave to you?¡± Juno: ¡°Euh..don¡¯t really..¡± Gowan: ¡°Here..¡± Gowan snaps is fingers. Juno¡¯s clothes changed to those on the floor. Juno is surprised. Gowan: ¡°Those clothes allow you to adapt to our world. Never remove them while you are here.¡± Juno: ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I go back to my Dimension..?¡± Gowan: ¡°You¡¯re right, however, given the situation, we cannot open a portal without given away your presence.¡± Gowan sits on his altar. Gowan: ¡°Now..do you by any chance know where Arbihime went?¡± ¨C asks Gowan, looking intrigued Juno: ¡°No idea, I haven¡¯t seen anyone yet.¡± [meanwhile] Far away from Gowan¡¯s temple, going north, there is a big green ocean surrounded by big rocks. Arbihime is swimming on it. *A small noise could be here at distance* Arbihime: ¡°Who¡¯s there? Show up already! My hears can hear even the tiniest sound!¡± - says Arbihime raging It¡¯s Clarietta. Arbihime: ¡°Uh? You¡¯re the one who¡¯ve been following me? What do you want?¡± ¨C says Arbihime surprised Clarietta: ¡°Of course I am! Why are you here to begin with? What the heck are you thinking?!¡± ¨C says Clarietta mad Arbihime: ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? I¡¯m rescuing my friends!¡± ¨C says Arbihime while crossing his 2 posterior arms Clarietta: ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you call me to help you out? Those are my friends too!¡± Arbihime: ¡°Grrrr¡­ Because it¡¯s too dangerous! I don¡¯t want you to get into any problems!¡± Clarietta: ¡°¡­¡± *Arbihime sighs* Arbihime: ¡°Well since you¡¯re already here, you might as well just make yourself useful and give me a hand.¡± *Arbihime and Clarietta lift a big rock* *A secret passage is undercovered* Arbihime: ¡°This way.¡± Arbihime runs inside the passage, Clarietta follows him. The walls are all made of rocks, there is a lot of humidity in there. The passage is short, they arrive to a big rounded hall, with many cages. *Noises coming from those cages* Arbihime runs into the one cage in the middle. Arbihime: ¡°Don¡¯t worry friend, I¡¯m here.¡± There is a group of 5 people inside that cage. *A physically damaged man stands up* Physically damage man: ¡°Arbihime? Is that really you?¡± Aribhime: ¡°Yes Sotta, it¡¯s me! I came to rescue you all!¡± *Everyone starts talking at the same time* Clarietta: ¡°Everyone please stay calm, we need to get out of it asap!¡± *Arbihime uses scratch! * *It¡¯s not effective! * Clarietta: ¡°Of course it doesn¡¯t work you idiot, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t all be here still!¡± Arbihime: ¡°Dam it! There has to a be a key somewhere then..¡± Random people from the crowd: ¡°There is no key, it¡¯s his spell..¡± Sotta: ¡°We gotta break the spell!¡± Arbihime: ¡°And how the heck am I suppose to-?¡± Arbihime runs past the next door. Clarietta: ¡°Arbihime? Where you going?!¡± Sotta: ¡°Arbihime! That¡¯s where they are!¡± Arbihime : ¡°Exactly!¡± (thinking): ¡°things I do for my people..¡±Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. Arbihime arrives to the middle of the location. It seams like they were being held hostage on a castle-like building. In front of Arbihime, lies a big altar, but none standing on it, just 3 people standing around. The tallest of them, a black haired men-like being, wearing some white and grey clothing. He has big arms and even bigger hands. The second one, a normal size good-looking old man, wearing colorful clothes and a gravata . He has a big red bear and a funny smile. The last one, is a normal-sized man. With spiky yellow-colored sparky-hair. [¡­] Gowan: ¡°So, would you like some tea?¡± ¨C Asks Gowan, laughing Juno refuses. Gowan: ¡°Well..I can see that you¡¯re more of the curious type of guy.. I promised you something yesterday, right?¡± *Glu glu glu* - Gowan drinks some tea Juno: ¡°Where am I? And what are you? Wh-..¡± ¨C Juno gets interrupted. Gowan: ¡°Well well..let¡¯s not force it shall we? I can read minds, remember.¡± Juno: ¡°¡­¡± Gowan: ¡°You¡¯re in a place named The ArchGod Dimension. Only ArchGods and their Gods are allowed to be here. *Juno looks attentive* For I am the ArchGod of Serenity.. ¨C Gowan continues Every ArchGod has a title, and with a title, a power.¡± Juno whispers: ¡°So you¡¯re what we call a God..¡± Gowan interrupts: ¡°No.¡± *the tea cup banishes* Gowan continues: ¡°I¡¯m an ancient type of God, I¡¯ve been here since the very beginning, among others. Those who you call God, are the result of the death of one of us.¡± Juno looks surprised. Juno: ¡°The death of one of yours..?!¡± *Gowan sighs* Gowan: ¡°Yes..with great power comes great responsibilities..and with them..greed.¡± Juno interrupts: ¡°Greed..?¡± Gowan: ¡°Some of us wish for more. Our power is our duty, but some of us have been using it to harm others, forcing them to work for them, survival of the fittest..¡± [on the castle-like building] Arbihime screams: ¡°Hey cock-suckers! I, the almighty Arbihime challenge you all for a fight! Now come on and get me!¡± Everyone notices Arbihime. [¡­]¡±Hmpf, is that little 4 armed rat again. Your turn, Bala.¡± Bala: ¡°Aight.¡± Bala runs towards Arbihime. Arbihime: ¡°I¡¯ll show you the 4 armed rat!¡± Arbihime rises is posterior left arm. Arbihime shouts: ¡°Bubble Beam Stun attack!¡± Arbihime fires a bunch of bubbles from his left hand to the air, covering the whole room. Bala has lost Arbihime. Arbihime attacks Bala from behind. [kick him] Bala takes the kick. Arbihime goes hidden again. Bala ¡°You little..!¡± Before Bala can finish his tense, Arbihime strikes again, this time in front of him. Bala ¡°I got you!¡± Bala punches Arbihime. It turns out it was just a bunch of bubbles together resembling Arbihime, taking Bala by surprise. Arbihime shows up again for another attack, behind Bala. Seams like Bala notices too late and wont be able to dodge it. Arbihime shouts: ¡°Take this!¡± When Arbihime is about to punch Bala he gets stricken by a thunderbolt. Arbihime falls into the floor. Bala: ¡°Pf, I don¡¯t remember asking for help.¡± [¡­]: ¡°You were taking too long, besides Master should replace you with a Cat..¡± [¡­]: ¡°What a great idea Jojo-chan!¡± Bala approaches Arbihime. Arbihime tries to stand up, and barely arrives. Arbihime: ¡°You..-¡± Bala rises his right hand point to Arbihime. Bala: ¡°This one will just die.¡± A green light of energy starts forming a ball in front of Bala¡¯s right hand. Bala shouting: ¡°Be gone! Rat!¡± Arbihime opens his mouth. His mouth gets huge and huge, Arbihime starts sucking the air in the building. Bala confused: ¡°What?!¡± Bala¡¯s attack gets eaten by Arbihime. Arbihime instantly recovers his energy and heals. Bala: ¡°What-a..?¡± Arbihime smiling: ¡°Hehe, I told ya.. You¡¯re facing (shouting) the almighty Arbihime!!¡± Bala raging: ¡°Enough of this!¡± As Bala is about trying to smash Arbihime with his big fists, Arbihime creates a small bubble with his 4 hands and toss her on the ground, creating a big blue flash, blinding everyone for a brief moment. Bala (blinded): ¡°More tricks! But you won¡¯t escape me again!¡± Arbihime starts running back to where the cages are located. Bala starts charging a big fire ball with his 2 hands. Bala: ¡°You can run, you can hide, but my attack will burn everything in his path! (shouting) Burn to ashes, rat!¡± Bala fires the Big Fire Ball. The Big Fire Ball goes through the corridor, completely decimating everything it passes by. Bala¡¯s attack is faster than Arbihime! Arbihime felling the heat: ¡°Shit! Come on we¡¯re almost there!¡± Sotta to Clarietta: ¡°Doesn¡¯t it smells like burning to you too? Clarietta: ¡°In fact..¡± Clarietta notices Arbihime entering the room, with his skin burning. Clarietta: ¡°What-a..?!¡± Arbihime shouting: ¡°Fast to the ground!¡± Everyone gets to the ground, the fire enters the room and starts burning everything. Arbihime turns around to the Big Fire Ball. Arbihime eyes start shinning silver. Arbihime shouting: ¡°Waterfall Prision!¡± Arbihime splits a huge amount of water resembling a waterfall. Arbihime¡¯s attack starts extinguishing the fire . Thanks to Bala¡¯s attack immense heat and Arbihime¡¯s refreshed water, the upper part of the cages were cut. Random guy in the crowd: ¡°We¡¯re free!¡± The crowd starts running to the secret corridor from where Arbihime and Clarietta came. Sotta: ¡°Thank you Arbihime, we¡¯re all so grateful!¡± Arbihime trying to catch up his breath: ¡°You¡¯re wel-welcome. Now flee!¡± The crow flees away. [back to Gowan and Juno] Juno: ¡°What¡¯s the point on having more power? Doesn¡¯t it give you more responsibility anyway?¡± Gowan: ¡°Yes, indeed. However, I must admit that our duty is a little bit more of a fictional one... Each ArchGod power has a unique meaning, and such, a unique purpose. Together we¡¯re reality itself, and without us, someone to guide, learn, create and even destroy, reality becomes unstable and is at a risk. That¡¯s how important our job is.¡± Juno: ¡°So something like Hope, actually exists thanks to one of you..¡± Gowan: ¡°Like the power of Hope, indeed.¡± *laughs* Anyway¡­ some of us want a change. We made a deal of sharing a territory each one of us, this, is mine.¡± Juno looks off the window. Juno: ¡°This world sure is beautiful¡± Gowan: ¡°It used to be even more.. But war has changed the environment.¡± Juno: ¡°War hun..?¡± Juno: ¡°Anyway if you¡¯re an ArchGod and only those are supposed to live here, what are Arbihime and Clarietta?!¡± Gowan: ¡°They are Gods. However, they weren¡¯t born from our death. They were made by us. They work for us. Each ArchGod has their own kind of Gods, they help them with their duty. Juno: ¡°Yeah Arbihime sure looks like a peacefull kind of God..¡± *laughs* Gowan smirks. Gowan: ¡°No one is perfect, not even us.¡± Gowan starts walking to the exit of his temple. Gowan: ¡°Come with me, Juno.¡± Gowan and Juno walk, a long distance from the temple. Gowan: ¡°See those mountains over here? Juno: ¡°Yeah¡± Gowan: ¡°Very well..¡± Gowan slaps a mountain, every single mountain starts collapsing. Juno: ¡°Holy why have you do this?¡± Gowan smirks. Gowan: ¡°*Wa*¡± The mountains wreckage started glowing gold, they start shaping, a being emerges from it. Juno is surprised. Gowan: ¡°This Juno, is the power of a God. The power to create, the power to destroy.¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s¡­it¡¯s¡­it¡¯s a cloak.¡± Gowan (looking embarrassed): ¡°Well yeah, but it¡¯s a Godly cloak! I made it so you could wear it! Come on put it on already!¡± Juno puts the cloak on. Juno: ¡°Oh?!¡± Gowan: ¡°See, you must be feeling a lot less of a struggle now! This cloak will give you heat when you¡¯re cold, refresh you when you¡¯re hot, and make you lifter than ever! Eheh¡± *laughs* Juno: ¡°woh thank you so much Gowan! Uh?!¡± Something starts coming out of Juno¡¯s cloak. [¡­] ¡°Well hello there!¡± ¨C says a voice A small serpent-like being comes out of it. Gowan: ¡°This is the real deal now. That cloak is only borrowed, Juno, in fact it belongs to that serpent. But as you can see it does not suit it at all!¡± *laughs* Juno looks confused. The serpent gets to the ground, starts shinning golden. Her size grows from 7 cm up to 2 m. Juno (surprised, shouting): ¡°Woooooo so hugeeeeee!!!¡± [¡­] ¡°My name is Or, pleased to meet ya.¡± Gowan (looking serious): ¡°Now listen¡­I¡¯m sending you on a mission, Juno.¡± Juno looks interested. Gowan: ¡°You see that volcano right there?¡± ¨C says while pointing at it ¡°It is very, very far away from here. There you will find the ArchGod of Ember, Harkiles. You go pay him a visit along with Or, and tell him that.. [¡­]¡± [Back to Clarietta and Arbihime in the castle] Clarietta (anger): ¡°Holy! Arbihime that was such a stupid plan! What were you thinking?!¡± Arbihime smiling: ¡°Hehe..¡± A voice echoing. Bala: ¡°Hey, what did just happen?¡± Bala and the others show up in the room. Jojo being ironic: ¡°Oh seams like you freed the prisoners ohoh.¡± Bala: ¡°What? It was him! Not me! Hey!¡± [¡­]: Would you two just stop already? Master will be unpleasant with what just happened. Unless¡­ of course, we give him something better.¡± *smirks* Clarietta looking stunned: ¡°Worigama..¡± Worigama: ¡°Look what we got here.. A rat and a traitor. Master Garaam will be so happy to see you again.¡± *smirks* Worigama summons a thunder-like sword. Worigama: ¡°now..be kind and just come with us. This retarded blew away this room but it¡¯s alright, we got plenty more here!¡± Worigama points his sword to Clarietta. Arbihime stands in front of Clarietta, staying between her and Worigama¡¯ sword. Arbihime smirking: ¡°Eh, if you want something from Clarietta..then you will have to pass by me first!¡± Arbihime turns his arms into water-like arms and attacks Worigama. Worigama touches Arbihime with his thunder sword, shocking him and hurting him. Worigama: ¡°You fool, thunder beats water!¡± Arbihime is in great pain. Jojo says to Clarietta: ¡°Well then, excuse me but we¡¯re gonna take care of you now M¡¯lady.¡± Clarietta (thinking): ¡°Gosh, you always get into trouble don¡¯t you Arbihime?¡± Clarietta starts glowing silver. Jojo: ¡°Oh, so you decide to fight us? Very well.¡± Jojo summons an umbrella-like sword. Bala interrupts: ¡°Hey! Who am I gonna fight in that case?!¡± Clarietta: ¡°Cosmic touch.¡± Clarietta glows even more, she quickly dashes into Bala. Bala fades away leaving no trace. Jojo: ¡°What in..?!¡± Bala got teleported somewhere else. Bala surprised and confused: ¡°What?! Where am I?!¡± [back to the fight] Clarietta: ¡°Let¡¯s get out of here Arbihime!¡± Clarietta dashes into Arbihime, however, she stops middle way. [¡­]¡±Hold on.¡± Everyone stopped. A tall human-like being appeared. He is wearing an opened silver kimono with a big symbol in the middle of his back, which stands for . He has grey hair, some muscles, a sinister maniac smile, and a green-glowing scepter. Everyone is shocked. Worigama: ¡°Welcome home, Master.¡± Jojo: ¡°Master Garaam! What a magnificent pleasure to have you back so soon!¡± Garaam walks slowly into the broken room. Garaam: ¡°So this is the one who betrayed me, right?¡± Worigama: ¡°Ye..Yes.¡± Garaam: ¡°Good for you I don¡¯t need you anymore.¡± *smirks* Clarietta looks confused. Clarietta power starts slowly disappearing. Clarietta (shocked): ¡°What?!¡± Garaam: ¡°What¡¯s wrong little one? After all, my job is to clear thrash. Forever.¡± Clarietta runs out of energy, she goes back to her normal human-like women form. Garaam: ¡°But¡­ I do have some remorse for those who betray me. You my dear lamb, will be the perfect example for those who shall oppose me!¡± *smirks* As Garaam is talking, Clarietta¡¯ skin starts to banish bit by bit. Arbihime (in pain, lying on the floor): ¡°Cla..rietta.. Hold on Clarietta¡­I will...!¡± Arbihime¡¯s body starts heating up, boiling, there are bubbles all over his body. Arbihime slowly gets up. End of Chapter 2. Chapter 3: The Reunion Chapter 3: The Reunion [¡­] Juno: ¡°So do you know the way?¡± Or: ¡°Of course I do, I just gotta follow the patch to that big volcano.¡± Juno is ridding Or, as they¡¯re walking trough the mountains, in the direction of the big Volcano. Juno: ¡°How many ArchGods are there?¡± Or: ¡°What? You do realize that I¡¯ve just been alive for over 4 minutes right? Hell I know..¡± Juno: ¡°Oh right..you didn¡¯t exist before that right?¡± Or: ¡°Yep.¡± Or: ¡°So you¡¯re a god?¡± Juno: ¡°Human. Dead Human..¡± Or: ¡°What¡¯s dead?¡± Juno: ¡°When your life ends..¡± Or (confused): ¡°What do you mean my life ends?¡± Juno: ¡°Uh? You¡¯re alive right?¡± Or: ¡°No one here is alive, neither dead as you say.¡± Juno looks confused. Juno: ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Or: ¡°ArchGods are eternal. They cannot die. Juno (confused): ¡°But Gowan said that that¡¯s how Gods are born in my Dimension..¡± Or: ¡°Well yeah. The only way to kill and ArchGod is by being an ArchGod. That¡¯s why this Dimension is on a mess, some are trying to.¡± Juno: ¡°You know that, yet, you don¡¯t know how many ArchGods are there..¡± Or: ¡°ArchGod¡¯s creations do keep some of the memories they have.¡± Juno: ¡°Still¡­¡± Or: ¡°Feel that?¡± Juno: ¡°What?¡± Someone is approaching them. Or: ¡°Forget it, of course you can¡¯t feel energy. We¡¯re being followed.¡± Juno looks around but he sees nothing but rocks. Juno: ¡°You sure about that?¡± Or: ¡°Yep. I can feel both energy and the ground moving too.¡± Or buries a hole and hopes in with Juno. Or: ¡°We¡¯re use the ground as our advantage. I do not know who is it, but surely Gowan wouldn¡¯t want us to mess with others during a mission.¡± Juno: ¡°What if it is someone friendly?¡± Or: ¡°Come on, how na?ve can you be? We¡¯re on a war right now. Besides, you¡¯re also an intruder here. The less people know about you, the better.¡± Juno: ¡°Yeah you¡¯re right.¡± [back to Arbihime and the others] A great amount of energy is coming from Arbihime¡¯s body. Jojo (wondering): ¡°Uh? What is that energy?¡± Arbihime¡¯s energy starts breaking the walls around them. Jojo (in panic): ¡°No no no no no no this is not good! Our castle! Our kingdom! Noooo make it stop!¡± Worigama: ¡°Humpf. Who care about this anyway. And so what he is increasing his energy? It wont change a damn thing.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Don¡¯t worry Clarietta, I¡¯ll take responsibility for this now..¡± Garaam is smirking. Worigama (Surprised): ¡°No way..¡± Jojo (in panic): ¡°Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh¡± Arbihime (screaming): ¡°Godo-Modo!¡± A huge flash comes out of Arbihime¡¯s body. The castle is in ruins. Everyone else besides Clarietta are flying, stand still. Clarietta is fine, besides being half banished. Jojo (mouth open): ¡°Our castle..! Our glorious castle!!!¡± Worigama (looking furious): How dare you.. To enter Godo-Modo in the presence of Master Garaam?! You little rat!¡± In the middle of the ruins, Aribhime is standing up. <¡°Godo-Modo¡± is the strongest stage a Godlike being can ever achieve, the result of great and hard work that take centuries to master. His limits are broken while in this state, as it is the strongest form of a God. Only the ArchGods and their Gods who have trained under hard circumstances can ever achieve Godo-Modo.> His skin color changed from Blue to fully Silver. His body is emitting a strong silver aura. His whole body is shapeless and looks like a waterflow instead of a body. Arbihime¡¯s eyes are glowing silver too. His also grew in size and his laying on his 2 foots like a human rather than an animal. Garaam (sarcastically): ¡°Bravo bravo *clap* *clap* So this is you¡¯re true form hum? Fascinating.¡± Arbihime dashes quickly in Garaam¡¯s direction. However, Jojo gets in his way. Jojo (furious): ¡°You will pay for our castle you silly rat!¡± Jojo rises his umbrella facing Arbihime. Jojo: ¡°¡± A ghost-dragon face comes from Jojo¡¯s Umbrella striking a immense thunderbolt form his mouth in Arbihime¡¯s direction. Arbihime open his mouth, some sparks start getting out of it. Worigama (thinking): ¡°That¡¯s.. (shouting)Jojo dodge the attack!¡±A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. Jojo is confused by Worigama¡¯s talk but continues the attack. Arbihime shots from his mouth Worigama¡¯s ¡± Jojo (surprised): ¡°WHAT?!¡± Their attacks collapse, creating a big explosion. There is smoke between Arbihime and Jojo. Jojo: ¡°So you can copy attacks?!¡± Arbihime appears in front of Jojo. Jojo tries to slash him with is Umbrella but Arbihime catches it with his two right arms. Jojo: ¡°Let it go rat!¡± Arbihime opens his mouth again. Jojo acts fast and starts rotating his Umbrella at a high speed. Arbihime¡¯s two right arms start getting destroyed. Arbihime looks to the Umbrella and starts getting sucked by the Umbrella¡¯s high speed. Jojo: ¡°That will do it!¡± Arbihime completely disappears leaving lots of water on Jojo¡¯s Umbrella. With a simple swing, Jojo releases all that water to the ground. Jojo (with his eyes closed): ¡°That¡¯s what you get for destroying our precious castle.¡± Garaam: ¡°Cocky ain¡¯t you?¡± Jojo (opening his eyes): ¡°Uh?¡± A big Ball of Water hits Jojo. Jojo got trapped inside that big Ball of Water. Jojo (drowning): ¡°What is this?!¡± Arbihime is on the ground, fully heal. Worigama: ¡°Jojo..¡± Jojo is slowly drowning. Jojo (drowning/shouting): ¡°Hel-help me Master Garaam!¡± Garaam smirks. Garaam: ¡°Worigama¡± Worigama: ¡°Yes mater.¡± Worigama¡¯s blade starts getting involved by an immense amount of thunders. Worigama¡¯s slashes Arbihime¡¯s Ball of Water that held Jojo prisoner. Jojo (hardly breathing): ¡°W..why? Master..¡± Worigama¡¯s slash broke the Ball in half, along with Jojo. Garaam: ¡°Worigama, I¡¯ll leave him to you. As for Clarietta..¡± Garaam stares at Arbihime, smirking. Garaam: ¡°I¡¯ll take her with me to our new lair.¡± Arbihime starts increasing his energy again, emitting a high amount of pression on the air. Arbihime rises his 4 arms to Garaam. A big amount of energy is gathering on his palms. Arbihime: ¡°¡± The energy formed a big ball of pure God energy. Arbihime fires the attack to Garaam. As the attack was getting next to Garaam.. Garaam¡¯s scepter¡¯ symbols start glowing and rotating. Garaam swings his scepter in the direction of the attack. Arbihime¡¯s Godo-dama banishes. Garaam (Smirking): Oh and rat.. Tell Gowan, that I¡¯ll come for him.¡± Garaam picks up Clarietta and flees away flying. Worigama (*sigh*): ¡°Well you hear Master Garaam.. I cannot kill you, yet.¡± Worigama dashes quickly in Arbihime¡¯s direction, swigging his blade at the same time. Worigama: ¡°After all..it¡¯s still Thunder versus Water.¡± Worigama strikes Arbihime with his blade. Arbihime takes the attack with his right arms, getting injured but still resisting. Arbihime: ¡°Good thing my Master didn¡¯t give me any orders¡± Worigama (confused): ¡°What? So you just came here for..?¡± Arbihime¡¯s head becomes ice solid. Arbihime hits Worigama with his head. Worigama gets injured and gets knocked away. Worigama: ¡°You rat..so you can make yourself solid after all?¡± Worigama starts powering up. His whole body starts imitating sparkles. His blade sparkles start moving even faster and aggressively. Worigama (serious): ¡°. (= thunderstorm) The whole are made of ruins start getting covered by a big cloud made of thunders. Sparks and thunders start hitting everything inside that cloud, breaking rocks and making big holes. Arbihime is getting hard hit by Worigama¡¯s attack. Worigama: ¡°This won¡¯t take too long, I¡¯ll just knock you down.¡± Arbihime furiously screams. Arbihime¡¯s body starts changing. His body went from a shapeless water-like body, to a solid pure-iced body. Worigama (surprised): ¡°Uh?¡± Arbihime: ¡°You can¡¯t defeat me with thunder you morron.¡± Worigama looks shocked. His attacks are no longer having an effect on Arbihime. Arbihime quickly strikes Worigama with his right arms. Worigama gets badly injured, when he tries to attack Arbihime.. One of Arbihime¡¯s left arms pierces through Worigama¡¯s chest. A lot of sparks come out of Worigama¡¯s chest. Worigama¡¯s split lots of blood from his mouth. Worigama goes to the floor, kneeling. Worigama (badly injured,, barely breathing): ¡°How..how could you..be so strong..being just a God?¡± Arbihime goes right next to him, standing still. Aribhime (looking serious): ¡°I am Arbihime, the God of Pura Cataracta (= pure waterfall). Arbihime picks up Worigama by the head, getting him to the same level as Arbihime¡¯s head. Arbihime continues: ¡°The only God ever made by Master Gowan.. Because I¡¯m the only one he needs.¡± Arbihime throws Worigama. Arbihime charges his energy with his left arms. His arms start glowing even more. Arbihime: ¡°After you, I¡¯ll go for Garaam.¡± Arbihime punshes Worigama with his whole energy, blowing everything on his way and around him. Arbihime¡¯s punch created a huge crater on the ruins in front of him. Arbihime ran out of energy and returned to his normal form. Arbihime (thinking): ¡°I¡¯m sorry..Clarietta.¡± Arbihime goes back to water and swims away. [back to Juno and Or] ¡°This should be enough¡± ¨C says Or Or starts immerging from the ground along with Juno. Juno: ¡°*splits* *splits* I think I¡¯ve eat some earth there¡± Or (laughing): ¡°That¡¯s what you get for talking every time.¡± The floor in front of Or and Juno gets sliced. They stopped. ¡°So what do we have here?¡± ¨C says a voice getting closed ¡°Who are you?¡± Or: ¡°We don¡¯t have time for this. We got nothing to do with ya.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¨C says the voice It¡¯s a tall man, long black hair, a moustache, wearing a cape and porting a sword behind him. Juno: ¡°Are you an ArchGod?¡± Or (shouting)): ¡°Juno?!¡± ¡°An ArchGod?¡± ¨C says the tall man ¡°My name is Canabes I¡¯m just a God.¡± Juno: ¡°Nice to meet you, my name is Juno.¡± Or: ¡°Are we really¡­? *sigh* My name is Or.¡± Canabes: ¡°So what are you two doing here?¡± Juno: ¡°We¡¯re going to meet with the ArchGod of Ember.¡± Or: ¡°Hmpf. Yeah tell him everything about the mission would you?¡± Canabes: ¡°Mission?¡± Or: ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Canabes: ¡°Perhaps I could help you two..¡± Or: ¡°Nah we¡¯re fine. You¡¯ve done enough following us and destroying our path.¡± Juno: ¡°Come on he wants to help us.¡± Or: ¡°You can¡¯t be serious now..¡± While Juno and Or keep arguing, Canabes looks attentively to Juno¡¯s cloak. Canabes (surprised): ¡°That¡¯s..that¡¯s an ArchGod Cloak?¡± Juno: ¡°Oh yeah, it was Go-..¡± Or kicks Juno with his tail, interrupting his talk. Or: ¡°Yeah, you see my friend Juno here, he killed an ArchGod and took his cloak, now if you mind us, we¡¯re gotta meet ArchGod Vulcan¡±. Or picks up Juno and starts moving towards the volcano which lies 5km ahead. While passing by Canabes.. Canabes: ¡°But..you think I¡¯m that na?ve?¡± Canabes pulls his sword out and gets in their way. Or: ¡°What do you want? Didn¡¯t you hear what I just said?¡± Canabes: (= Torrential earthquack) Canabes pierces the ground with his sword. The ground starts collapsing and breaking. Or (shouting): ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Juno: ¡°Uh..¡± Canabes smirks. Canabes: ¡°Now..you shall prove me that you¡¯re telling the truth!¡± Or and Juno look confused. The ground starts breaking even more, to the point of reaching the Volcano. The volcano starts breaking too. Or looks shocked. The volcano breaks. Or (shouting): ¡°What the heck have you done you fool!¡± Canabes (smirking): ¡°You said that your friend killed an ArchGod.. So kill another one.¡± From the fire and flames that start coming out of the volcano, covering the ground, someone comes out of it. A Big man with a serious face, no hair, holding gloves and a fire-made cape on his back, with the symbol ¡°Ember¡± written on the back. [¡­] (shouting)¡±What do you think you¡¯re doing?!¡± Or (in fear): ¡°shit..we¡¯re screwed!¡± Juno: ¡°But we did nothing!¡± [¡­] (furious): Will you answer me you two?!¡± Or: ¡°You see, you¡¯re excellence, it was that..WHERE IS HE?!¡± Canabes had flee away. [¡­] (furious) ¡°I¡¯m listening..¡± Or (thinking): ¡°Shit..we¡¯re so dead..¡± Juno steps away. Or: ¡°uh?¡± Juno: ¡°My name is Juno and this is Or. You must be Harkiles, the ArchGod of Ember. Gowan sent us here to talk to you.¡± Or (thinking): ¡°That idiot..!¡± Harkiles (thinking): ¡°Gowan? The ArchGod of Serenity..to be calling me.. You guys know that there are other ways to get to talk to me other than destroying one of my volcanos right?¡± *laughs* Juno: ¡°Yeah we¡¯re sorry about that¡± put his hand on his head while laughing awkwardly. Harkiles: ¡°It¡¯s alright. Sometimes we need to revive. Get turned to ashes and be reborn into something new. *smirks* Juno looks confused. Harkiles stares to the mess caused by Canabes, breaths heavily and exhale. Harkiles exhales a really high quantity of air from his mouth, cleansing the flames and repairing the chaos. Some animals and villages that were around that volcano are turned to ashes. Harkiles: ¡°It¡¯s alright, my Gods are immune to my flames and the animals will just get reborn. Juno: ¡°Good.¡± Or: ¡°The mission Juno..¡± Juno: ¡°Oh yeah, Harkiles we..¡± Harkiles summons a cup of tea. Juno (thinking) ¡°Seriously..?¡± Harkiles: ¡°So what about a cup of tea while we talk?¡± *laughs* Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t eat tea..¡± Or: ¡°I do.¡± They walk inside of Harkiles¡¯ territory. There are 8 big volcanos all around it, marking his limits. Inside his territory, there are many villages, with lots of Gods living there along with animals. Right in the middle of them, a bigger village is there. There resides Harkiles¡¯ house, where Juno, Ra and Vulcan go to talk and drink some tea. [night time, somewhere else] On a big room, inside nothing but white. There are about 24 people there. *Crowd noises* ¡°Fine fine, let¡¯s just start it then.¡± ¨C said a voice Everyone stopped talking. ¡°There isn¡¯t much to talk anyway, we all know what¡¯s happening.¡± ¨C says someone else ¡°Yeah, many of us had suffer long enough because of him.¡± ¨C says another one with a strong voice *sigh* ¡°That¡¯s exactly the point. Many of us have lost Gods to him. He sends his Gods to capture ours leaving us with no other option other than doing our duty ourselves and alone.¡± ¨C said the first voice ¡°So what¡¯s the plan?¡± ¨C said someone ¡°Yeah we can¡¯t keep just ignoring him.¡± ¨C said another one ¡°Garaam..¡± ¨C says the voice ¡°We should seal him.¡± ¨C quickly says another one ¡°What?!¡± the crowd starts talking all at once ¡°We can¡¯t ever get along can we?¡± ¨C said a furious voice ¡°Shut up! No ArchGod shall do the same as he does!¡± ¨C said the first voice ¡°Silence.¡± ¨C says a women voice Everyone shuts. ¡°You got an idea? Toffee?¡± Toffee clears her throat. Toffee: ¡°It¡¯s actually easy.. If Garaam doesn¡¯t stop taking our Gods, than we just have to kill him.¡± Someone stands up quickly and says: ¡°You really don¡¯t get the point child? We shall not take in consideration killing one of us, despite his actions!¡± Toffee: ¡°Blablabla. Should seal him then? Nop, that¡¯s also against our right? So the other only option is to let him act freely, great thinking there Alpha. Alpha sits again, saying nothing. ¡°Toffee..do you really think you would be able to defeat Garaam¡­?¡± ¨C says another person Toffee: ¡°Heck, If none else has anything to say, than I¡¯ll take that as the solution.¡± No one said a thing. Toffee: ¡°Well then.¡± Toffee opens a portal and leaves. Another voice: ¡°Are we really doing this?¡± Alpha: ¡°Let her do whatever she wants. Might make Garaam change his ideals..¡± ¡°So shall I go home now? I got a lot of works to put onto.¡± ¨C says a small guy ¡°Kado? What shall the ArchGod of Knowledge even do? Spread knowledge among us?¡± *laughs* - says someone else Kado: ¡°Well yeah..laugh all you want, but.. Garaam is right.¡± Everyone stops laughing. ¡°Now what was that..?¡± ¨C says the same guy who talked earlier Kado: ¡°You heard me Rack. Don¡¯t make me repeat myself.¡± Rack: ¡°Hmpf, you really wanna mess with me? In front of 40 other ArchGods?¡± Kado smirks. Alpha: ¡°Well now, let¡¯s all keep it low. None is fighting anyone.¡± ¡°Actually..¡± ¨C says another voice 6 ArchGods stand up. ¡°If any of you open a portal to leave, we will act.¡± Alpha (surprised and confused): ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Exactly what it is.¡± - Says Kado Alpha: ¡°you¡¯re.. all with Garaam?!¡± ¡°Bingo.¡± ¨C says Kado. Alpha: ¡°What do you want?¡± Kado: ¡°We¡¯re just stalling.¡± Alpha (confused): ¡°Stalling? For what?!¡± ¡°So Master Garaam can finish his job on your kingdoms¡± - says Worigama, arriving from a portal, with his clothes destroyed, a big hole on his chest and his blade broken in half. End of chapter 3. Chapter 4: The Next Step Chapter 4: The Next Step Harkiles¡¯ house is quite small, no rooms, a big bed, a table and fire pit in the middle. Harkiles drinks from his tea. Juno: ¡°So..yeah that¡¯s it Can you do it?!¡± Harkiles laughs. Harkiles: ¡°You know kid, I am a God I can do anything! Ahah!¡± Harkiles stands up and walks next to the fire pit. Harkiles: ¡°I don¡¯t blame you. Those kind of things aren¡¯t for a Human to believe anyway.¡± Juno is confused. Juno: ¡°How..I..¡± Harkiles laughs. Harkiles: ¡°You see this flame? Even though it isn¡¯t a living thing It still emits energy. Everything that exists, has some sort of energy, some have more than others. It¡¯s hard to feel it, but you too have it. That¡¯s how I know you¡¯re a Human, Juno.¡± Or: ¡°Disguise blown uh?¡± Juno: ¡°Well..¡± Harkiles laughs. Harkiles: ¡°Do not worry kid, if Gowan didn¡¯t send you back to the Human dimension than this mission of yours might be something very important for him.¡± The flame starts going wild. Juno: ¡°I though I wasn¡¯t welcomed in this Dimension for being a Human..¡± Harkiles: ¡°Well that¡¯s true. But that¡¯s just how things are. You have your own Dimension, and we have our. You being here, is something that none would ever thought about, and completely destroys the purpose of having 2 worlds separated. You see, I am a blacksmith. If I build something and it isn¡¯t balanced, than it will be useless. It¡¯s nothing against you kid, it¡¯s just how reality works.¡± Harkiles puts his hands on the flame controlling it, shaping it. Harkiles: ¡°I¡¯m certain, that you shall return to your Dimension once you give this to Gowan, as he asked you to do.¡± The flames have disappeared. Harkiles holds on his hand a black and grey belt. Harkiles: ¡°There you go. Just as you said.¡± Juno and Or are confused. Juno: ¡°Uh..¡± Or: ¡°Master Gowan said that you would build him a great device, I don¡¯t think he was referring to a belt..¡± Harkiles laughs. Harkiles: ¡°Of course he did! I know exactly what he wants! Ahah!¡± Juno (confused): ¡°Are you sure he wasn¡¯t referring to anything else?..¡± Harkiles: ¡°now now..who¡¯s the blacksmith here? Just go ahead and take it, you have a mission to finish.¡± Harkiles hands over the belt to Juno. Juno: ¡°Feels heavy..¡± Juno puts the belt on. Or: ¡°Well..so that concludes our mission..I guess..¡± Or (thinking): ¡°Master Gowan will kill us..¡± Harkiles laughs. Harkiles: ¡°Do not worry about the size, it adapts to your waist!¡± Juno: ¡°Well if this is what Gowan meant by a device then..we shall go..¡± Harkiles: ¡°It was a pleasure to meet you both. And Juno, try to avoid talking to strangers until you get back to Gowan¡¯s temple.¡± Juno (confused): ¡°Yes.¡± Juno jumps to Or and both go out, their mission was over, it was time for them to return to Gowan and give him what he asked for. [Far away, somewhere else in the ArchGod dimension] In the middle of the ArchGod dimension, there is a really big mountain. At the top of that mountain resides the temple of Azael, the ArchGod of Winds. The whole temple is always floating at the top of it. It is composed of 6 small houses forming a square and a big one in the middle. However, it seams like 4 of those houses don¡¯t even exist anymore, the other 2 are half destroyed, and the big house¡¯s door is broken too. Inside the Big house there are 2 people. 2 males. One of them is sitting on the floor, with only one arm left, spitting blood, while the other is standing night next to him. [¡­]: ¡°So, is that all the ArchGod of Winds can do?¡± Azael: ¡°Why..why are you doing this?!¡± [¡­]: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but things have change. You should¡¯ve gone to the meeting, Azael.¡± Azael can barely breath. His injuries are painful and the constant blood loss makes it harder for him to stay conscious. Azael (heavy breath): ¡°You disgrace Yanel.¡± [¡­]: ¡°Yanel is the one who sent me to begin with.¡± Azael is shocked. How could the ArchGod of Gravity, betray one of his kind? [¡­]: ¡°To be more exact, he is acting under Garaam¡¯s orders, so are we.¡± Azael: ¡°We?!¡± [¡­]: ¡°Other ArchGods of course, and their Gods. Like I said, things have change.¡± Someone arrives. [¡­]: ¡°You¡¯re still here?! Let him and move on. We must stick to plan.¡± [¡­]: ¡°I know I know, I just want to have one last chat with this old man. I¡¯ll go right next to you, Bardiac.¡± Bardiac: ¡°Master Garaam wants us to move as pairs, so hurry.¡± [¡­] sighs. Azael: ¡°Tardo..Bardiac..does this mean that the ArchGod of Clouds have also joined him?!¡± Bardiac looks sad. Tardo (laughing): ¡°You bet it. You¡¯re in the minority after all, Azael.¡± Tardo stands up and walks away. Tardo: ¡°Let¡¯s go then, Bardiac.¡± Tardo and Bardiac leave the destroyed temple of Azael, the ArchGod of Winds. [somewhere else] The lair of Kon, the ArchGod of Hunger, is a big castle, in the middle of a big kingdom, double the size of the Human Dimension, with plenty of houses and other Gods. It¡¯s a well known place, Kon has a great reputation of making the best food of all reality. ArchGods and Gods from all the ArchGod dimension come there often to fulfill they¡¯re desires. But no longer. This place, just like Azael The ArchGod of Winds¡¯ temple, got destroyed.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Every single house is destroyed, many Gods are lying on the floor, all dead. Kon the ArchGod of Hunger, however, wasn¡¯t there at the time. He was at the reunion with the other ArchGods. Alpha (devastated): ¡°How..why are you doing this?!¡± In the middle of the table, where the ArchGods were having their meeting, there was a special portal. One that instead of allowing one to travel, allows them to see what¡¯s going on anywhere they desire. Alpha is using it to see what¡¯s happening in the ArchGod Dimension. Every ArchGod is in shocked, except those who joined Garaam¡¯s cause. Kon (screaming in shock): ¡°My kingdom!! My food! My people!¡± Kado: ¡°I¡¯m sorry fella, but that¡¯s the only way.¡± Alpha (aggressively): ¡°How is this a way?! You¡¯re destroying our lairs, you¡¯re killing our creations and tearing everything a part! Why?!¡± [¡­]: ¡°For a better world, of course!¡± Says Urango, the ArchGodess of Precognition. Urango: ¡°I assure you that this is how it is supposed to happen. You might think we¡¯re fools, but while you keep here doing your job as usual, we are the ones who seek higher, the ones who are disposed to actually make a difference and change creation.¡± Alpha: ¡°Change..creation?!¡± Kado: ¡°With time, Alpha. Your questions will be revealed as soon as possible. For now, just enjoy the view.¡± Alpha: ¡°You¡¯re insane..all of you! How could you even consider Garaam¡¯s words!¡± [¡­]: ¡°Master Alpha.. it seams like other ArchGods that aren¡¯t here have also accorded to Garaam¡¯s plan!¡± Alpha (Shocked): ¡°What?!¡± Baramelo changes the portal view. Baramelo: ¡°It seams like Gods from the others ArchGods have attacked other lairs too!¡± Alpha: ¡°That¡¯s not possible!¡± Kado: ¡°Oh you thought we were the only ones who opened our eyes? No. I¡¯m sorry Alpha, but you¡¯re no longer in command. Besides us 24 here, 7 of us agree with Garaam, the other 17 don¡¯t. But that¡¯s just here. Counting those who didn¡¯t come..11 don¡¯t agree, and 8 agree. That makes 28 that are against Garaam, and 15 that agree with Garaam in total.¡± Alpha: ¡°That¡¯s insane..¡± Kado: ¡°And the ArchGod of Winds has fallen, so we¡¯re 15 against 27..¡± Kado: ¡°But let¡¯s discuss another thing shall we?¡± Alpha: ¡°Another..?¡± Kado: ¡°Why is there a Human in our Dimension?!¡± Everyone is shocked. Alpha: ¡°A..Human?! How is that even possible?!¡± Kado: ¡°According to one of my Gods, he encountered a Human traveling with a Energy Being, they were going to meet with Harkiles in his lair. Does anyone know anything about it?¡± Alpha (shocked): ¡°That¡¯s..¡± Kado: ¡°Oh well, it doesn¡¯t matter. My Worigama will take care of it, won¡¯t you?¡± Worigama: ¡°Yes, Master Kado.¡± Kado: ¡°Oh and Worigama, Harkiles is also on our target list.¡± Worigama: ¡°Yes.¡± And so, one after another, the number of ArchGods who are against Garaam has fallen from 27 to 20. Each victory meant more Gods, and a bigger army working for Garaam. Some other ArchGods even changed and swear loyalty to Garaam, thus helping him with his cause. However, not every ArchGod is disposed to bow to Garaam and his army. Fula, the ArchGodess of Guilt, is one of those who refuse to let Garaam win. Her lair is an underground complex. A whole empire underground, and she is the ruler. 30 Gods so far have invaded her lair. Fula uses a big spear has her weapon. While some of them are fighting against Fula¡¯s army, Fula herself gets to fight some. Fula: ¡°You really don¡¯t give up do you?!¡± [¡­]: ¡°The same goes for you, Fula!¡± Fula: ¡°Humpf.¡± Fula dodges every single attack from that God, without any effort, and quickly pierces him with her spear. Fula: ¡°Another down.¡± Fula had already killed 21 Gods, but they just keep coming. 4 other Gods appear. Fula (smiling): ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Fula strikes into fight, she fights those 4 Gods at the same time, alone. They cannot compete with Fula¡¯s great speed and experience with her spear. She quickly kills those 4 Gods without breaking a sweat. But before she can look around her, another enemy has appeared. Fula strikes him, but misses. Fula tries to strike him again, but he holds her spear. Bardiac: ¡°So this is the great Fula, ArchGodess of Guilt.¡± Fula: ¡°I don¡¯t need to know your name.¡± Fula breaks her spear and quickly summons another spear. Bardiac: ¡°Another?!¡± Fula: ¡°You¡¯re dead.¡± Fula strikes Bardiac in his chest. But before she can finish piercing him.. Fula gets kicked in the face. Tardo: ¡°Hmpf, this is a violent one hum?¡± Bardiac takes off the spear on his chest, breaking it. Bardiac: ¡°Yeah this one sure holds the title of an ArchGod.¡± Fula comes back to the fight. Fula: ¡°So you seams to have been training, contrarily of the others who have come.¡± Bardiac: ¡°You can say.¡± Fula (smiling): ¡°Good.¡± Fula quickly dashes and strikes Bardiac however before she handles a blow on him, she changes her target to Tardo. Tardo quickly summons his weapon, a two bladed sword and quickly counters her spear. An immense amount of energy is released from their weapon clash. Bardiac also summons his weapon, a quarterstaff. The fight begins. Meanwhile where Garaam¡¯s temple used to be, a Women arrives there. Toffee: ¡°Well shit, this place is all destroyed. I wonder what happened here.¡± Toffee looks around, but sees nothing but a fallen castle. Toffee: ¡°Well that was a waist. But it seams like there was a big battle in here. Hmm..water..no, ice. And thunder? That¡¯s nothing to do with Garaam¡¯ Gods abilities..¡± Someone arrives, running. Bala: ¡°Hey Master Garaam I¡¯m finally back! Sorry for making you wait but that traitor teleported me so far away!¡± Bala stops, shocked. Bala: ¡°Wha..what are you..?!¡± Toffee smiles. Toffee: ¡°So..Master Garaam is that it? And what traitor exactly? Bala: ¡°You see..uh..we..¡± Toffee: ¡°come one now, I¡¯m all listening.¡± Meanwhile in Harkiles lair. While Harkiles is visiting some Gods on his village, someone falls from the sky, severely damaged. Harkiles: ¡°Quil? What happened?¡± Quil (barely speaking): ¡°Master..there..is..a..¡± Quil fainted while pointing to the sky. Harkiles looks up. The sky was cloudy and stormy, someone comes from above. Harkiles: ¡°You¡¯re the one responsible for this? How dare you!¡± Worigama: ¡°You must be Harkiles, the ArchGod of Ember.¡± Harkiles (anger): ¡°You bet I am!¡± Worigama: ¡°I don¡¯t see the Human around here. Is he hiding on one of those villages perhaps?¡± Harkiles: ¡°What?!¡± Worigama rises his sword, a huge amount of thunderbolts start coming form the clouds and strike his blade. With just a swing, Worigama releases a big amount of energy from his blade, destroying everything around him. Every single village was destroyed with that one swing. The Gods living on it however, are all fine. Harkiles (in shock): ¡°What the hell you think you¡¯re doing?!¡± Worigama looks around. Worigama: ¡°I don¡¯t sense him still. Can it be he has such a weak energy?¡± Harkiles gets right next to Worigama. Before Worigama even has time to open his mouth, Harkiles grabs his two hammers from his belt. A big wave of heat and fire come from his cloak as he slowly takes out his hammers. Harkiles (in raged): ¡°From the ashes you shall return.¡± Harkiles eyes are full of anger and fire, this thunder God had just destroyed his precious lair. Worigama breaths heavily. Worigama: ¡°Be it.¡± But before Worigama can even say anything else, Harkiles intense heat starts burning his clothes. Worigama starts running away. He takes his burning shirt off while maintaining a great distance between him and the in raged ArchGod. Worigama (thinking): ¡°Against this kind of enemy..I really have no other choice other than using my true strength. Like that rat did.. *flashback from Arbihime and Worigama¡¯s fight* Worigama (thinking): ¡°I should¡¯ve been more careful. But I wasn¡¯t excepting that rat to break our rules. There are two things a God should never do, no matter the circumstance. Number one, fighting and ArchGod.. And number two..using Godo-Modo in their presence. That rat broke those rules. And for that..I almost died. Hadn¡¯t it be Master Rayko, the ArchGod of Thunders to give me his blessing, I would have died against that brat.¡± Worigama stares at his blade. He rises her against Harkiles. ¡°But¡­¡± Worigama concentrates an immense energy. ¡°That¡¯s different now.¡± Worigama starts glowing yellow, his blade starts changing shape. Around him, there is a big wild storm covering the whole area. ¡°From now on, everything will change.¡± Worigama looks at Harkiles with a serious face and serious eyes. ¡°¡± Meanwhile, Juno and Or have finally arrived to Gowan¡¯s temple. Juno: ¡°Gowan? Where is he?¡± Or: ¡°Hmm¡­seams like he hasn¡¯t been here for a while..¡± Juno: ¡°So maybe he will be back in a moment. Don¡¯t you think?¡± Or: ¡°Perhaps..¡± Juno looks at the sky. Juno: ¡°Things..have things changed?¡± Or: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Juno: ¡°The sky..it¡¯s no longer green.¡± Or: ¡°Yeah..I realized that too.¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s strange. I feel like that¡¯s why Gowan is not here.¡± Or: ¡°He shouldn¡¯t take too long, ArchGods don¡¯t really talk with each other that much. Perhaps he went to eat at Kon¡¯s lair. He is the ArchGod of Hungry after all.¡± Juno: ¡°Oh man, I could eat something right now!¡± Or: ¡°I¡¯ll see what we got.¡± Juno: ¡°Great! Oh and..about this..¡± Juno points at his belt. ¡°Do you think it has some kind of power on it?¡± Or: ¡°Dunno. Why should it?¡± Juno: ¡°I mean this is the reason why Gowan sent us on a mission to begin with.. I don¡¯t know.¡± Or: ¡°Well you¡¯re the one wearing it, do you feel anything?¡± Juno: ¡°Am I suppose to feel anything?¡± Or: ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Juno: ¡°hmm..¡± Juno looks attentively to the belt. Meanwhile.. Nokawa, the ArchGod of Inspiration, lives alone on his lair. A world within a waterfall. To arrive there, one must enter the waterfall itself. Sorta like a portal. The waterfall is placed on a beautiful spot, the most magnificent and unique place in the whole ArchGod Dimension. There you can see, a bit of every ArchGod territory part, surrounding the area. The waterfall however, is infinite. The water falls into nothing. Like the void. A whole world is inside it. Or used to be. The whole place is destroyed. You can¡¯t even recognize it anymore. The waterfall however, is still intact. [Inside of that big world] ¡°So, you ready to handle me your power, Nokawa?¡± ¨C says Garaam Nokawa: ¡°Garaam..I find what you¡¯re doing really inspired. However, giving you my power, is something I cannot do. If I did..everyone would..¡± Garaam (smiling): ¡°That¡¯s exactly the point. If you do it, everyone will follow you. The power of Inspiration.¡± Nokawa (crying): ¡°I¡¯m..I¡¯m sorry.¡± Garaam: ¡°Well well..there is no need for that now. I¡¯ll fix everything once you¡¯re done with it. That¡¯s a promise, from an ArchGod to another.¡± *smirks* Nokawa: ¡°My tears are not for you, neither those who are dying. We¡¯re ArchGods, we can remake everything from nothing.¡± Garaam (confused): ¡°Uh?¡± Nokawa starts shinning gold. Nokawa: ¡°I am really sorry, Garaam. I didn¡¯t want to come to this.¡± Garaam: ¡°What now..¡± Nokawa: ¡°¡± An immense amount of energy comes from Nokawa¡¯s body. The wold within the waterfall starts collapsing, it can¡¯t hold that much energy all at once. Garaam comes out of the waterfall. A big flash strikes from it. Garaam (blinded): ¡°What are you even doing?!¡± When his vision got back, Nokawa was there. Nokawa has changed. His true form appeared. A tall man with a manly beard, long black hair, and two huge white wings on his back. An intense light was coming from his body. Nokawa (with a Godly voice): ¡°I¡¯ll rather die than let reality get controlled by you.¡± Garaam (smiling): ¡°Well now..this will be fun.¡± Garaam summons his staff. Garaam: ¡°However, I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have much time to waste with the likes of you.¡± Nokawa: ¡° (=Inspiration glance) Nokawa shines even more, blinding the whole area around them. The sky itself starts shinning golden. [Back to Gowan¡¯s temple] Juno: ¡°Oh the sky changed again?¡± Or: ¡°Hmm..that¡¯s weird. There is an immense energy spreading all around the ArchGod Dimension..¡± [Back to the pocket dimension] Alpha: ¡°This power..it¡¯s Nokawa¡¯s Godo-Modo!¡± Urango: ¡°Yeah..Garaam is about to convince him to bow to him.¡± Alpha (surprised): ¡°What?! That.. That would make him win this! He can¡¯t!¡± Kado laughs. Kado: ¡°I think we can say..that our chances to win are getting pretty high yes.¡± [Back to Nokawa and Garaam] Garaam: ¡°So what you¡¯re increasing your Energy? You¡¯re just making it easier honestly.¡± Garaam prepares to use his staff however.. An immense light starts covering Garaam, consuming him. Garaam: ¡°What?!¡± Nokawa: ¡°Feel the power of defeat, Garaam!¡± Garaam starts loosing control over himself, he can no longer see, neither feel his legs, than his arms, finally he starts loosing the ability to think. Garaam (thinking): ¡°Damn you..¡± Garaam uses the last bit of thinking he has and grabs his staff. Finally Nokawa¡¯s power totally consumed Garaam. Nokawa: ¡°I¡¯m sorry..I didn¡¯t want to have to do this, but you gave me no choice. For me, for this Dimension. It is a must.¡± Nokawa¡¯s light us pure and bright, however, a small bit of it gets cut, like a balloon plenty of air. From that cut, the light starts banishing. Nokawa (surprised and confused): ¡°What?! My light..my power! Is..banishing? Impossible!¡± And so, all at once, that pure light that covered the sky of the whole dimension, banished. Once the light had fully banished, Garaam¡¯ staff was there, floating, stand still in the air next to Nokawa. ¡°You really are a pain in the ass for someone who¡¯s supposed to give out inspiration you know?¡± says a familiar voice. Nokawa is surprised. In front of him, something starts gaining shape, appearing bit by bit, it¡¯s Garaam the one who stands right in front of him. He had regain all his abilities back. Nokawa (surprised): ¡°How..¡± Garaam (smirking): ¡°Well now..it¡¯s is quite easy to explain. After all, I am the ArchGod of Void. You can¡¯t control an empty dimension, can you, Nokawa?¡± Garaam¡¯s staff starts glowing gold. Garaam (smirking): ¡°However, you are right, this is how it is supposed to be. Fool me for thinking otherwise.¡± Garaam: <¡±exilium¡±> (=banish) Bit by bit, Nokawa starts banishing. First his power. Next, his limbs. And finally, his whole. Garaam: ¡°Not the same as getting you as an ally..but that will have to do. I¡¯ll just force it in that case.¡± He senses the presence of someone else there. Garaam turns back. Garaam smirks. Garaam: ¡°The ArchGod of Serenity.. Gowan.¡± Gowan was standing there, he had just arrived to the battlefield. End of chapter 4. Chapter 5: This War of Mine - Part 1 Chapter 5: This War of Mine ¨C Part 1 *FlashBack to last chapter* ¡°In a perfect world where every single being gets along War and peace are subjects known by none. This..greed of yours.. Only shows that this perfect world does not exist.¡± ¨C says Gowan Garaam looks up to the sky. Garaam: ¡°I¡¯ll make this a perfect world. No matter the cost.¡± Gowan sighs. Gowan: ¡°I.. Nevermind. It¡¯s already too far.¡± Gowan rises his hands while looking around him. Gowan: ¡°This..destruction.. This chaos, this distortion... Is this really how you want to achieve such goal?!¡± Garaam: ¡°Does it really matter how it happens? In the end, those like you are only retarding things.¡± Gowan looks down, shameful. Gowan: ¡°You really disappoint me¡­ old friend.¡± Garaam: ¡°So you came here just to say how ashamed you are of me¡­ Or is there any other reason?¡± Gowan: ¡°I¡¯m here to put some sense to you.¡± Garaam: ¡°Well then..¡± Garaam holds his staff strongly. Garaam: ¡°I know you¡¯re not the fighting style So I¡¯ll make it quick.¡± Gowan appears right behind Garaam, surprising. Garaam: ¡°What?!¡± Gowan touches Garaam¡¯s back with his two hands. Gowan: ¡°¡± (=forbidden seal) Gowan¡¯s hands start shinning blue. A blue aura covers Garaam¡¯s body. Garaam: ¡°A seal? Are you for real now?!¡± Gowan continues. Gowan: ¡°¡± (=Forbidden spear of restriction) Five big Spears fall from the sky, hitting Garaam on his limbs and his head, restraining him. Garaam is surprised. Gowan: ¡°¡± (=Final punishment) The ground around them starts breaking, forming a square that starts flying to the sky along with them. Gowan tries to break Gowan¡¯ seals but fails. Garaam: ¡°Damn you. You think that¡¯s enough to contain me?!¡± Gowan: ¡°No. But at least will give me sometime to think about a plan.¡± Garaam (in raged): ¡°Gowan!¡± Gowan jumps off the square. The square starts changing form into a big jail made of blue light. The jail becomes smaller and smaller, until completely banishes. Gowan (thinking): ¡°That will buy us some time.. I must find others.¡± [Gowan¡¯s temple] Juno yawning. He is tired of waiting, and so is Or. Juno: ¡°Come one how much longer will Gowan take to come back?! I¡¯m bored!¡± Or sighs. Or: ¡°It shouldn¡¯t take much longer.¡± Juno: ¡°That¡¯s what you said 5 minutes ago..and ago..and ago..¡± Or feels an energy approaching. Or: ¡°Oh? I guess he is back.¡± Juno: ¡°What? really?!¡± Juno and Or run to the temple¡¯ stairs. Juno: ¡°Oh..it¡¯s you.¡± Arbihime (anger): ¡°What do you mean oh it¡¯s you?! It¡¯s Arbihime you stupid human!¡± Juno: ¡°We thought it was Gowan, just that..¡± Arbihime (surprised): ¡°Uh? Master Gowan isn¡¯t there?¡± Or: ¡°Seams like you know nothing too. Too bad.¡± Juno: ¡°Uh..where is Clarietta?¡± Arbihime looks down, ashamed. Arbihime: ¡°I..I should¡¯ve been more careful.¡± Juno: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Arbihime: ¡°She got caught.¡± Juno (confuse): ¡°What? Caught? By what?!¡± Or: ¡°Not what, a who. It was Garaam, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Arbihime sighs. Arbihime makes a sign of agreement with his head. Or: ¡°Well that¡¯s a mess.. And how come you¡¯re here?!¡± Arbihime: ¡°I fought my way out. But what I should¡¯ve done was to fight her way out.¡± Juno: ¡°Can you at least tell me what¡¯s happening here?! I¡¯m kinda lost..¡± Or: ¡°Gowan taught you about greed didn¡¯t he? Well..there is no one who understands it better than Garaam, the ArchGod of Void.¡± Juno: ¡°Wait you¡¯re telling me that she got caught by an ArchGod?! But I thought you were all friends..¡± Or: ¡°Hell you thought! Garaam is friend with none! He catches Gods and enslaves them, makes them fight for survival, uses them as much as he can. He respects nothing and he wants power!¡± Juno: ¡°Power?¡± Or: ¡°Yes. That¡¯s what greed makes you do kid.¡± Arbihime interrupts. Arbihime: ¡°Garaam wants to take control of this whole Dimension.¡± Juno (surprised): ¡°What?! But aren¡¯t you all ArchGods and Gods?! Don¡¯t you all have a duty?!¡± Arbihime (in raged): ¡°Shut up!¡± Arbihime continues. Arbihime: ¡°This isn¡¯t about a status! It¡¯s about one single entity who thinks he has the right to change things. He doesn¡¯t care about it, looks around you, the sky has turned grey, nature has died and the animals fled. There is nothing but despair and chaos in this world now! That¡¯s Garaam finally stepping up.¡± Juno is shocked. Arbihime: ¡°I saw it with my very own eyes. He is a monster and knows nothing but pain. You either bow to him or you die along with the world.¡± Or: ¡°Do you think Master Gowan..¡± Arbihime: ¡°No ArchGod have died yet. Otherwise you would¡¯ve felt it.¡± Or: ¡°You¡¯re right..¡± Arbihime: ¡°However, on my way to here, I sensed a lot of different kinds of energies. Some ArchGods have just gone missing.¡± Or (shocked): ¡°So it really has started..¡± Juno walks past Arbihime. Juno: ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡± Or and Arbihime (both confused): ¡°What?¡± Juno: ¡°Dunno about you. But I used to help a friend taking care of the injured and near dead people in my dimension. This is no exception.¡± Or: ¡°Juno..¡± Arbihime: ¡°Holy you¡¯re an idiot. This isn¡¯t your dimension human. You can¡¯t get into the affairs of the ArchGods.¡± Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t plan to do it. I¡¯m only going to assist the Gods.¡± Arbihime: ¡°¡­ Fine.¡± Or: ¡°What?! How can you even..¡± Arbihime: ¡°You can stay here Or, in case Master Gowan ever comes back. If I let this Human go alone, he will just die. Besides, knowing that a Human is around, would just cause even more chaos than it already is.¡± Or: ¡°Heck I¡¯ll stay. I¡¯ll go with you two.¡± And so they all agree to leave Gowan¡¯s temple and go somewhere else. Arbihime: ¡°We ain¡¯t walking. That¡¯s too human for us.¡± Juno: ¡°Uh? What now..¡± Arbihime smashes the ground with immense strength. He picks up a big piece of it. Arbihime: ¡°Jump in at 5.¡± Juno is confused. Arbihime throws the big piece. Arbihime: ¡°5.¡± Everyone jumps into the big piece, except Juno. Juno (surprised): ¡°What?!¡± Or quickly grabs Juno with his tail and pulls him up. Arbihime: ¡°Holy you¡¯re slow.¡± Juno (anger): ¡°What do you mean?! Who the heck says 5 before the others?! What kind of counting is that?!¡± Thanks to Arbihime¡¯s idea, the three of them are moving at high speed using the big piece of ground that he had thrown. Juno: ¡°Where are we going?¡± Arbihime: ¡°To the nearest ArchGod around. Korra, the ArchGodess of Equiblibrium.¡±This novel is published on a different platform.

Fula smiles while looking at the hole in the top ground of her lair. Fula: ¡°So it seams like there are no more Gods coming anymore? Are you two the last?¡± Bardiac: ¡°yes. We¡¯re all that¡¯s left for you.¡± Fula: ¡°What a pain.¡± Fula swings her spear around her. Fula makes a copy of her self. Bardiac (surprised): ¡°What?!¡± Fula: ¡°Even though this isn¡¯t my style.., I¡¯m pretty sure there are many Gods out there still wanting to fight my spear.¡± Fula attacks both Bardiac and Tardo at the same time. Bardiac seams to be able to dodge every attack. Tardo on the other hand, struggles to do it, but keeps up with his two bladed sword. Tardo hits a fatal blow on Fula¡¯s clone, making it disappear. Tardo: ¡°hmpf, it¡¯s just as good as the original.¡± Fula: ¡°Oh really..¡± Fula swings again. This time, making 2 other clones. The 2 clones strike against Tardo. Bardiac: ¡°Well.. you asked for it Tardo.¡± Tardo (struggling): ¡°hmpf, now that¡¯s something.¡± Tardo smiles, while starting to attack even faster, completely countering Fula¡¯s clones attacks, making good use of his two bladed sword to attack each of them with each side of it all at once. Fula: ¡°Hey, the fight is here. Or..you can just die.¡± Fula surprises Bardiac, who wasn¡¯t paying much attention to his fight. Bardiac¡¯s quarterstaff starts glowing braun. Fula falls into the ground, staying only on her knees, unable to move. Her body feels heavy, far too much for her to handle. She has no longer control over it. Fula (struggling): ¡°This..¡± Bardiac gets to the ground, face to face to Fula. Bardiac: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but we have a mission to complete.¡± Bardiac prepares to attack Fula with a fatal blow. Fula: ¡°Hmpf, you really think a God stays a chance against an ArchGod?!¡± Fula slowly starts getting up, moving her limbs again, she starts gaining a bit of control over her body. She counters Bardiac¡¯s blow with her spear. Bardiac is susprised. Bardiac: ¡°You broke my power?!¡± Fula smiles. Fula strikes Bardiac with her spear, this time, piercing his heart. Fula feels victorious, however, Bardiac grabs her spear, and tosses it away. Bardiac: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have nothing there.¡± Fula is surprised, Bardiac had no heart, she had just pierced her spear through a hole. Fula: ¡°how..?!¡± Bardiac sighs. Bardiac points his quarterstaff to Fula. Bardiac: ¡°¡± (=Heavy oppression) Fula gets completely into the floor. The floor itself starts shattering. Bardiac¡¯s quarterstaff allows him to manipulate the gravity of anything he desires. This time, Fula can¡¯t overcome the amount of pressure Bardiac¡¯s power have on her. Meanwhile, Tardo defeats Fula¡¯s clone easily and goes next to them. Tardo (mocking): ¡°Eh so much for that ArchGod speech!¡± Bardiac: ¡°Time to end this, Tardo.¡± Tardo: ¡°Yeah.¡± Tardo points his blade to Fula. Tardo: ¡° (=great collision) A huge explosion comes out from Tardo¡¯s blow. Fula¡¯s empire was completely destroyed. All her Gods, her army, are dead. Nothing was left but ruins of her empire. Tardo: ¡°Job¡¯s done.¡± Bardiac: ¡°Let¡¯s held back the waterfall.¡± As Tardo and Bardiac start flying in the direction of the hole on the up ground of Fula¡¯s destroyed empire.. ¡°omae wa mou shindeiru¡± A ghost hand grabs Tardo¡¯s shoulders. Tardo (surprised): ¡°What the-?!¡± ¡°You think you can go away with it? Oh poor God..¡± ¨C says a mysterious female voice Tardo tries to free himself but it¡¯s pointless, he can¡¯t touch the ghost hand be can¡¯t stop getting dragged back to the ruins. Bardiac (surprised): ¡°What¡¯s this?!¡± Tardo (screaming): ¡°Hell I know?! Help me!¡± ¡°Poor Gods, don¡¯t you get it? This is the power of Guilt.¡± ¨C says the voice. The ghost hand grows bigger and starts covering Tardo¡¯s body. Tardo is desperate, he can¡¯t do nothing about the hand who¡¯s dragging him back to the ground. Once arriving in the ground, ghosts start wondering around him, walking past him, walking through him. Tardo (horrified): ¡°What is this?! What¡¯s happening?!¡± ¡°Those are the ghosts of the Gods you just killed, every single one of them. They all came to pay you a visit.¡± ¨C says the voice while laughing at the same time Tardo does desperate moves but nothing can be done, once the hand of Guilt gets you, the only way to get rid of it is to accept it. Tardo slowly gets out of breath. He stopped moving, his mouth opens and a ghost comes out of it, along with his last breath. Tardo died by the hands of the ArchGodess of Guilt. Bardiac closes his eyes, wanting to forget that deadly event. However, the hand of Guilt does not have a word for Bardiac. In fact, her only target was Tardo, the man who committed the genocide of her beloved empire. Bardiac finally gets out of that underground place. [Back to Harkiles¡¯ lair] The whole area around the storm is burning heavily. No creature be it animal or God could ever live around all that heat. Yet, in the middle of the storm, Harkiles the ArchGod of Ember fights Worigama, the God of Thunder. Harkiles using his two burning hammers and Worigama using his thunder blade. Their clashes strike the ground around the area, thunders spread in every direction along with fire. Harkiles increases his heat. Harkiles heat seams uncontrollable at the first glance, but no other being was more able of controlling the heart of the Ember as much as Harkiles. Wild fire is spreading inside the storm. Worigama takes some distance from Harkiles, the source of that fire, however, his distance is limited by his very own storm. Eventually, the fire starts getting to Worigama. His left arm starts burning. Worigama tries to get rid of the flames, but Harkiles approaches even more of him, making it completely useless to even try. Worigama feels rushed and decides to attack Harkiles. Worigama (thinking): ¡°Might as well just do it!¡± Worigama¡¯s body gets involved into flames as he approaches the ArchGod with great speed. By the time Worigama gets next to him, the ArchGod punches him with his big hammer in the face, throwing him against the storm, severely damaging him. Worigama grabs the storm with his left hand and starts absorbing his energy, healing himself, the flames however, still on his body. Harkiles quickly spits some ember against Worigama, who cannot dodge in time. That ember does not burn. It actually becomes solid, just like earth. Worigama: ¡°What?!¡± Harkiles: ¡°That will restrain you from moving your arms.¡± The ember works as glue, Worigama¡¯s upper body is completely restrained. Harkiles charges even more energy, increasing even more the heat around them. Eventually, the storm itself starts breaking. The heat produced by Harkiles goes wild once it breaks and starts spreading to the other lairs, who are now empty. A big region of the ArchGod Dimension gets involved by Harkiles flames. Where once was life, now is dead. Nothing can survive such amount of heat. The heat of Anger. At that exact moment, it starts raining. Those ashes made by Harkiles flames made the sky cry. Worigama: "Hmpf, I didn''t ask you anything." Harkiles: "What are you talking about?" The rain slowly gets rid of the flames covering Worigama''s body. Worigama has severe burns, he is all wraped up. Worigama looks at Harkiles, with a serious look. Worigama: "That''s a blessing from my ArchGod." Zapp, the ArchGod of Thunder is the one responsible for that rain. Along with it, follows multiple storms coming form the sky. Worigama rises his bleeding hands up to the sky. Thunders strike him with great strenght. However, Worigama isn''t taking any damage from it, he is instead, healing from it. In just a mere second, Worigama has regain all his might. Harkiles gives a mean look to Worigama, he had just gotten even angrier than before. Harkiles: "So the ArchGod of Thunder will too pay for it." Worigama looks at Harkiles. Worigama: "He isn''t the only one against you." Harkiles: "I know." They both clash into each other. Even though the rain is limiting the damage caused by Harkles flames, Harkles still as strong as the battle first started. Worigama knows he can''t have a face to face fight with him, which is of course both their fighting style. Worigama gets a bit of space and concentrates his energy on a single blow. He swings his sword, on an attempt of cutting of Harkiles, similar to how he did with Jojo. Worigama: ¡°¡± (= Thunder Slash) At that exact moment, Harkiles grabs Worigama¡¯s sword, intercepting the attack somewhere else. Worigama¡¯ sword immediately turns to ashes. Harkiles: ¡°I ain¡¯t playing with you anymore.¡± Before Worigama can call upon his sword again.. Harkiles: ¡°¡± (= melting breath) From his mouth, Harkiles breaths out ember, capable of melting anything by touching it. Worigama acts quickly. Worigama: ¡°¡± (= Thunder God¡¯s blessing) Worigama¡¯s body changes immediately. He turned himself into a thunder-made dragon, he no longer has a physical body. He quickly avoids Harkiles melting breath and strikes him with a . It seams like this thunder form it¡¯s Worigama¡¯s true form. Harkiles tanks the with his bare hands. However, being the strongest of any techniques a God and even an ArchGod can ever produce, he gets overwhelm by all that power, plus, Worigama had also implemented part of his thunder energy along with it, causing severe damages to Harkiles at the same time and stopping him from concentrating on the attack¡¯s energy. His clothes start ripping off, the energy is far too much, even more an ArchGod to be able to hold it. As a last resort, the ArchGod finally takes off his two hammers again, while still holding Worigama¡¯ strongest technique with his chest. Harkiles: ¡°Godo-Mo-¡° One of Harkiles hammers shatters. Harkiles is speechless. Finally, Worigama¡¯s fully connects against him. An enormous explosion occurs. A vast amount of thunderbolts spread all over the battlefield, every single one of them coming from the impact on Harkiles. Once the flash goes out, the rain had stopped. The flames no longer consume the whole area, just the borders of the battlefield were still burning. Worigama looks down, laying on the ground is Harkiles, unconscious, the ArchGod of Ember has been defeated by the Thunder God. Worigama returns to his physical form. Worigama sighs, looks up, and flees away. [in the pocket Dimension, the reunion] Every ArchGod is shock, even some who have agreed to follow Garaam had no clue what was going to happen. Alpha gets on his knees. Alpha: ¡°This¡­this is madness!¡± ¡°The ArchGod of Ember was defeated?!¡± ¨C said an old lady named Nanao Kon is in panic and starts crying loudly. Kon (scream): ¡°You don¡¯t get it do you? Once he is done destroying everything he will come for us too!¡± Urango: ¡°now now.. Uh?¡± It seams like Kon¡¯s words made the ArchGods panic a little, those who follow Garaam are starting do doubt their decision. ¡°What if he is right? I didn¡¯t want this to happen..¡± Kado: ¡°Of course if everyone would just agree with Garaam than this wouldn¡¯t happen in the first place.¡± Kon stops crying and everyone stop chatting. ¡°So you¡¯re the ones to blame here.¡± ¨C says Kado with a cruel expression on his face ¡°Both the ArchGodess of Guilt and the ArchGod of Ember have fallen. So did the ArchGod of Despair and the ArchGodess of Melancholy. Along with them, the ArchGod of Inspiration has just sacrificed himself on an attempt to take out Garaam. *Sighs* I guess I don¡¯t have to explain you how well that went.¡± Baramelo interrupts: ¡°But..those are among the strongest of us! How can it be they were all defeated..!¡± Kado (smiling): ¡°Our Gods of course!¡± Baramelo is mouth opened, he and the others cannot believe what they just heard. Kado: ¡°What? Do you really think we would act without a plan?¡± Urango continues: ¡°Training our Gods for an eventual confront against an ArchGod. That was the very first step of our plan. But this is just the scratch still.¡± *smirks* Kado: ¡°Exactly. We¡¯ve thought our Gods the ability to use .¡± Baramelo: ¡°Go..Godo-Modo?! But that technique needs various centuries to be able to even achieve it! How could you do it in such a short time and to rival an ArchGod..!¡± Kado: ¡°Now now..don¡¯t be fool, ArchGod of Seasons. We didn¡¯t say they were prepared to take on other ¡°¡±. An in fact, you¡¯re right, it took us a long long time to make them tap into that power. But what¡¯s some centuries compared to an eternity?¡± Alpha: ¡°So you¡¯ve been with Garaam for much longer..¡± Kado: ¡°Indeed.¡± Alpha quickly gets up, walks up the table at a high speed and attacks Kado, however, gets immediately stopped before he gets to touch him. For ArchGods intervened, smashing Alpha¡¯s body against the table. Kado smirks. Kado: ¡°So is that all you got, Alpha?¡± Urango: ¡°Hmm..¡± Kado: ¡°What?¡± Urango: ¡°You might want to avoid this next attack.¡± Kado: ¡°Uh?¡± Kado is grabbed from behind by Rack. Kado: ¡°What are you..?!¡± Rack: ¡°Alright you better let Alpha free or I¡¯ll be forced to breaks his bones.¡± The for ArchGods stare at Rack, but they do not move a muscle. Rack (screaming): ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you hear m-..¡± Kado easily sets his arms free. Rack is surprised with how strong Kado is. Before he has time to react, Kado punches Rack on the jaw. Kado¡¯s punch is so strong that he sends Rack against the roof, breaking it, proceeding to throw him even further into the white void of the pocket dimension. Kado: ¡°Hmpf, poor kid. Don¡¯t get too cocky.¡± In fact, even though Kado is the ArchGod of Knowledge, which means his Title powers don¡¯t give him any battle advantage, every ArchGod is blessed with great strength, great speed, and great energy. Kado: ¡°I didn¡¯t pass the last 41 centuries training with other ArchGods just to get grabbed by someone like you.¡± The other ArchGods are outrageous. Not only they had been planning this revolution for a long time, but they¡¯ve also been training to overthrow everything! What¡¯s worst, is that even those who don¡¯t have offensive powers seam to be evolved in this rebellion. But that¡¯s just Garaam¡¯ side. The others, are just the common ArchGod type. No strength above the usual. No offensive power. No trained army. Just ArchGods doing their duty, as it has always been. [¡­] A small girl, who easily gets avoided in the reunion, starts sneaking behind everyone during the confusion. Kado: ¡°Anyway..¡± Kado looks at the portal device in the middle of the table, the one that shows what¡¯s happening out there. The portal shows the lair of the ArchGods, showing who has been defeated, and who hasn¡¯t, yet. Kado: ¡°Seams like there are only 5 more ArchGods left: Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity. Osaria, the ArchGodess of Motion. Zubiat, the ArchGod of Time. Korra, the ArchGodess of Equilibrium. And¡­ Toffee, the ArchGodess of Senses.¡± ¡°Ah, so the only real threat left is that selfish brat Toffee, how sweet.¡± ¨C says Vulpina, the ArchGodess of Entropy Vulpina is a tall women, she has short pink hair and always wears a red cloak. ¡°Let¡¯s not forget that Gowan can be a pain the ass sometimes too.¡± ¨C says Ulitharid, the ArchGod of Light & Dark Ulitharid is both the ArchGod of Light & ArchGod of Dark, his is literally 2 Gods in one. One half of his body is black, pure dark, while the other half of him is light, pure bright. He has a halo over his head, half white and half black. He wears a half black and white kimono, opposing his skin colors. The other two ArchGods are both Genesis, the Twin ArchGods of Armageddon. They are the one responsible for bringing a new century to the Human Dimension, by destroying everything before it. One is a boy while the other is a girl. Both wear a black and grey kimono. [¡­] Those 4 ArchGods are the ones holding Alpha down. And also, the ones who are following Garaam, along with Urango and Kado. The last one of them is just sitting on a corner, meditating. He looks a bit like a hermit, nothing much to say really. The small girl who was sneaking doesn¡¯t even notice him, and accidentally falls on his legs, making him notice. The girl was afraid of his reaction that her plan would be blown, however, the ArchGod didn¡¯t say a word, instead, he grabbed her and put her on the floor, and immediately closed his eyes after that, going back to meditating. The girl was confused, but kept on sneaking, she had no time to waste. Finally, upon reaching the door, she gets unfortunately noticed by Urango. Urango: ¡°What do we have here?¡± Kado: ¡°Oh was she trying to escape?¡± Urango: ¡°I know she was.¡± The girl is shaking, she is afraid of them. While everyone¡¯s attention was pointed to her, Alpha takes advantage of it. Alpha, the ArchGod of the Aspect, changes his upper body into a spiritual body, before the 4 ArchGods holding him even have time to react, Kon acts. Kon (screams): ¡°¡± (= Happy Hour) Kon summons lots and lots of food, covering a large amount of the room. Everyone¡¯s vision is blinded by the amount of food. Kon pulls Alpha¡¯s physical legs out of the table. Urango: ¡°They are escaping¡± Kado: ¡°I know! Do something quickly you fools!¡± Genesis, the ArchGod(s) of Armageddon: ¡± (=collapse) Genesis attack turns the food into tiny pieces, unfortunately, since he had no direct target, it also resulted on destroying the place. Kado (screaming): ¡°You idiots I didn¡¯t tell you to blow everything up!¡± Every ArchGod takes advantage of the situation and open a portal immediately to fled. Volpina poses her left hand¡¯ palm on the ground. Volpina: ¡°¡± (=Vibration) From her palm comes a vibration wave, some of the ArchGods, those who weren¡¯t fast enough to open a portal an escape, we¡¯re hit by it. Volpina¡¯s attack makes them attracted to her and start moving towards her against their will. Kado sighs. Kado: ¡°Well that will have to do.¡± Alpha, Kon and 4 other ArchGods had successfully escaped the pocket dimension. Kado: ¡°That makes 10 ArchGods still.. Garaam will be mad.¡± Urango: ¡°Won¡¯t really matter.¡± Kado: ¡°If you say so. Ulitharid, seal them this time. Ulitharid summons his staff. Ulitharid: ¡°nigrum capulus¡± =(Black Coffin) Ulitharid creates a big black coffin, trapping the 10 ArchGods inside. Kado: ¡°There is no use on trying to break it, this seal has enough power to even hold Garaam himself!¡± *laughs* [back to Juno] Juno: ¡°Uh?¡± Juno, Or an Arbihime stare at the sky. Juno: ¡°Are those..¡± Arbihime: ¡°Portals, yes.¡± Or: ¡°Many portals in fact. They must be coming from the reunion.¡± Juno: ¡°Reunion?¡± Arbihime: ¡°Wait, there was a Reunion? So that¡¯s where Master Gowan might have been!¡± Juno: ¡°hmm..you think one of those is Gowan?¡± Arbihime: ¡°There is only one way to find out. However, we can¡¯t change the trajectory right now, so you¡¯re kinda stuck here until we reach our destination..¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s ok. We will support the ArchGodess of Equibrium, than we¡¯ll go look for Gowan. He might be home by the time we¡¯re done there.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Yeah.¡± [¡­] Toffee: ¡°So are you gonna answer me or not?!¡± Bala: ¡°Well yeah..so..we threw a hard party in here and..¡± Toffee interrupts: ¡°a hard party?¡± Bala: ¡°Y-yes. You see, we invited some Godess and..¡± Toffee rises her hand facing Bala, he stops talking. Toffee: ¡°I ain¡¯t the ArchGodess of Emotions. Besides, your story sucks.¡± Bala is panicking inside. Toffee: ¡°What¡¯s a God of Strength doing here anyway? This is supposed to be Garaam¡¯s place.¡± Bala: ¡°Euh yes you see..¡± Toffee: ¡°Shut up! You really are of no use.¡± Someone approaches the area. Toffee: ¡°Who¡¯s there? Perhaps you can give me more insight than this idiot right here.¡± A man appears. A rounded head, tall man, wearing white clothes and a black belt. ¡°Oh hello, my name is Jinzo. I¡¯m here to-..¡± Toffee rises her hand to him. Toffee: ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you that.¡± Jinzo closes his mouth. Toffee: ¡°I wanna know where is Garaam.¡± Jinzo: ¡°Well that makes two of us.¡± Bala is confused. He tries to be sneaky and run away. Neither Toffee neither Jinzo care about him, so he eventually gets to leave. However, a loud sound could be heard the moment he left. Bala¡¯s body returns to where he had left. Bala was shoot by an energy blast. He was killed. Another person appears, this time, a tall women with blue hair and a pony tail, also wearing white clothes and a belt. ¡°Name¡¯s Micaela. But you don¡¯t care, right?¡± Toffee: ¡°Hell right.¡± Micaela snaps her fingers, a huge explosion occurs in the area. Once the dust went down, Toffee was no longer there. Micaela (Surprised): ¡°Oh? Did I snap it too strong?¡± Jinzo: ¡°Silly you. I don¡¯t feel her energy anymore, and she certainly wouldn¡¯t die to that snap.¡± Micaela: ¡°So she ran way. So much for an ArchGodess.¡± Micaela and Jinzo flee away. Toffee show¡¯s up once they had left. The explosion was meaningless to her, however, her target is Garaam, not two minions. She took advantage of it and buried herself under the crater caused by it. Toffee has one of the greatest energy control ability among the ArchGods. She starts following those minions without getting noticed. She thinks they will lead her right into Garaam¡¯s whereabouts. [¡­] Juno: ¡°So this is the place?¡± Arbihime: ¡°Yep.¡± They stood in front of a big white gate, connected to big white walls without a roof. The lair of Korra, the ArchGodess of Equibrium. ¡°Come on in.¡± ¨C says a low, attractive lady voice The gate opens. Arbihime: ¡°Well you heard it.¡± They step inside the walls. End of Chapter 5. Chapter 6: This War of Mine - Part 2 Chapter 6: This War of Mine ¨C Part 2 Inside those big gates, Korra¡¯s lair is quite empty. There isn¡¯t much inside it, just a huge empty space, no rooms, no objects, just emptiness. As Juno, Or and Arbihime walk through the the gates, a presence can be feeling but the location of it is impossible to know, it just seams like it¡¯s everywhere. Juno: ¡°Eh what kind of place is this?¡± Arbihime: ¡°Korra¡¯s lair of course. It has always been this empty since I remember..¡± They can here the sound of water drops, even though there isn¡¯t water around, and pretty much nothing there. Juno: ¡°Is there water in here?¡± Arbihime: ¡°Yes¡­ and no. Don¡¯t think too much about it. No one has ever deciphered her.¡± Juno is confused. A sudden door appears before them. Juno (surprised): ¡°What the heck?¡± The door slowly opens. There is a figure on the other side. It is too dark and the figure uses some weird clothes. Arbihime: ¡°Long time no see, Korra.¡± However, it is certain that the figure is Korra, the ArchGodess of Equilibrium. The background behind her who was dark, completely changes as she walks back. It¡¯s like another world was inside that door. They enter the door, who immediately closes afterwards. Juno: ¡°Wow¡± Or: ¡°Indeed wow. This is just a demonstration of Korra¡¯s power.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Hmpf. Like many others.¡± They walk towards Korra who is sitting on some rocks on a green field, observing them. Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t see anyone here besides us¡­ I think we should just go ahead to the next ArchGod.¡± Arbihime: ¡°You idiot. I told you we were going to help the closest ArchGod from Gowan¡¯s temple, not that he had others with him!¡± Juno: ¡°Yeah but there are others who might need our help.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Your help. Remember we¡¯re just taking you here and there. We got none to help.¡± Juno: ¡°Another reason to...¡± Korra stands up. Even with the light from this world of her Juno can¡¯t really see much of her. Only a bit of her face can be seen through her white clothes. Her arms and legs are hiding inside of them. Or: ¡°Hmm..it seams like Garaam hasn¡¯t coming here yet..¡± Arbihime: ¡°Korra, you probably already know what¡¯s happening outside of your lair. We might not know much, but we know by a fact that Garaam is finally acting... This Human here had the idea to help out those who are injured. I know I shouldn¡¯t, but.¡± Korra quickly passes around all of them, picking up Juno while a door opens behind him and she enters it along with him. Arbihime (confused): ¡°What did she..?¡± Or (surprised and confused): ¡°Did she just ran away with Juno?!¡± Arbihime (confused): ¡°Well..I guess she is fine with it then..¡± The place inside the door is also dark, Juno can¡¯t see a thing. Juno (shouting): ¡°Oie! What was that?! Where am I?!¡± The dark starts changing, the place takes on some colors and finally a new world is revealed. There are many geometric forms and some others who don¡¯t exist, and one can¡¯t even imagine, floating around or being used by the ground, flying pillars using unreal shaping along with cubes, circles and triangles and other figures that just don¡¯t feel right to exist, imagine, or even just to think about them. In the center figurines, there is a symbol written on them, however, it has no meaning for Juno. Juno has a headache by just looking at this unreal world. [Back to the destroyed Waterfall, The ArchGod of Inspiration¡¯s lair] Gowan has left, there is none near the location when Worigama arrives. Worigama (thinking): ¡°Hmm I was sure this was the place¡­¡± He feels the presence of 2 beings approaching. He knows he was right, this is the right place. Those beings are Jinzo and Micaela. They approach Worigama. Jinzo: ¡°Oh it¡¯s Worigama..¡± Micaela (laughing): ¡°He is alive? Damn you silly thunder god! Well can¡¯t say much about your clothes though¡­¡± Worigama: ¡°Where¡¯s Master?¡± Jinzo: ¡°Should be coming about¡­now.¡± A high amount of energy can be sensed around. There is a branch in the air, from it, Garaam emerges from it. Garaam is out of breath. But he quickly catches up. Everyone is staring at him. Garaam: ¡°What?! Are you waiting for something?!¡± Worigama: ¡°Your orders, Master¡­¡± Garaam: ¡°Right¡­ That piece of garbage Gowan really slowed down my plan¡­ Oh well, we actually have all the time of the world.¡± *smirks* Their next step was clear, their next stop was the lair of Zubiat, the ArchGod of Time. [Back to Juno inside the world in the door] Korra finally shows up, right in front of Juno, yet he still can¡¯t see much of her. ¡°I am Korra, the ArchGodess of Equilibrium.¡± ¨C Says Korra Juno is about to reply her, but she continues: ¡°What¡¯s your name, Human?¡± Juno: ¡°My name is Juno.¡± Korra: ¡°I see. So you¡¯re the Human who¡¯ve been walking our Dimension for a while¡­ *stares at him* I see.¡± Juno: ¡°Won¡¯t Or and Arbihime join us?¡± Korra: ¡°No. No they won¡¯t. They have things to do. Other things. Places to be. We are here, however.¡± Juno: ¡°Ok..but why are we here though? I¡¯ve gave myself the mission to help the injured Gods, I should be going..¡± Korra: ¡°What do you think you can even do for a God, Human named Juno?¡± Juno (thinking): ¡°Human named Juno¡­¡± Korra: ¡°You¡¯re entering in a whole new world that has nothing to do with you Human. Acting you shall not.¡± As she speaks, Korra is walking around Juno just like an animal circling his prey. ¡°What do you think you can even do to benefit any of us, Human named Juno.¡± Juno: ¡°I used to help a nurse when I was alive..I can try to..¡± Korra interrupts Juno. Korra: ¡°Can? Try? No no no no. We don¡¯t use those words. You either DO or DON¡¯T.¡± Juno is confused. He is tired of this non-sense conversation and the way Korra is speaking. Korra: ¡°I feel a lot of disequilibrium coming form you, Human named Juno. It¡¯s actually destroying me, trust me. For I am Korra,-¡° Juno repeats along with Korra: ¡°The ArchGodess of Equibrium (just Juno): I know.¡± Korra stops walking, stares at Juno. Korra: ¡°Yes¡­ Maybe. I find it quite interesting though.¡± Korra starts walking again. Juno: ¡°Look, I don¡¯t want to sound mean but...¡± Korra: ¡°Mean? Silly of you I must say. I feel you¡¯re on a rush. It¡¯s ok. I get it. You want to help. But you can¡¯t. Because you try and believe you can.¡± Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t..understand anything..¡± Korra: ¡°I know. That¡¯s what I¡¯m saying.¡± Korra jumps into the center of the figures and starts floating all around them. Korra: ¡°You lack equilibrium. Balance. My power. The power to be comprehend everything and everyone.¡± Juno is confused. Korra: ¡°Confusion is only normal. Many beings get confused with things they don¡¯t believe can exist. But you aren¡¯t on your Dimension. You¡¯re in the ArchGod Dimension. We create existence.¡±If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Juno: ¡°Can we just go back to..¡± Korra quickly returns face to face to Juno, sitting in front of him. Juno stops talking and observes as Korra gets up. She opens her arms, her clothes open slowly, her face his revealed. She looks like a half eagle half women creature, with long arms and legs, around her body. Her hands are just human hands. Korra: ¡°Human named Juno. You intrigue me. I find your disequilibrium outrageous¡­ Yet, something in you just makes sense. Yes. I can see it. You¡¯re a Human, named Juno.¡± Juno: ¡°What are you really trying to say?¡± Korra: ¡°Your Gods are gone. They left the moment you past this door.¡± Juno: ¡°You pushed me in¡­¡± Korra: ¡°They went to their normal lives. As normal as they can be during a war it is. And you¡¯re here, with me, for now. You will leave this place. Soon you will.¡± Juno: ¡°Finally¡­¡± Korra rises her hands facing Juno¡¯s chest. Juno: ¡°Uh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Korra: ¡°Human named Juno..¡± Korra¡¯s hands start glowing gold, her eyes too. A symbol appears on Juno¡¯s chest. Korra: ¡°You have the blessing of the ArchGodess of Equilibrium.¡± The glow went off, along with he symbol. Juno is confused, he doesn¡¯t know what had happen. Korra: ¡°Nice cloak by the way. Ooooo and that belt! It really makes a style combo with those rings of yours!¡± Juno: ¡°Euh... yeah thanks¡­I guess¡­ Wait rings?!¡± Juno looks at the rings he has around each of his arms. He had never had those rings before. Korra: ¡°I see. Anyway, you said you wanted to meet with other ArchGods to help them right?¡± Juno (quite confused): ¡°Yes¡­¡± Korra: ¡°Than what are you waiting for? Go go.¡± The door opens. Juno gets out of it and returns to the gate entrance. He looks around to the destroyed world awaiting outside. Korra is behind him. Korra: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you perhaps forget how to walk, Human named Juno?¡± Juno: ¡°They really aren¡¯t here anymore¡­¡± Juno turns back. Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t know any direction...¡± Korra stares at Juno for a few seconds, no one says nothing. Korra: ¡°I see. Allow me to help in that case.¡± A new door appears between them. Korra: ¡°What are you waiting for? Forgot how-to walk-through doors too, Human named Juno?¡± Juno is pissed at her for talking in a weird way and always repeating herself. He enters the door, who immediately closes afterwards. It was like a portal, who transported Juno in front of a clock tower building with only one entrance. There was no mistaken, it was Zubiat, the ArchGod of Time lair. A cloak noise can be heard once Juno approaches the entrance. Meanwhile, Garaam and his minions arrive at the entrance too, however, it seams like they cannot see Juno, neither can he see them. They enter the building at the same time. ¡°Time¡­is it time, Garaam?¡± ¨C says a partially old man voice Garaam (smirking): ¡°Yes. It is time.¡± Garaam minions stand right behind him, they don¡¯t say a word. The old man is sitting on a throne behind a big clock, it is Zubiat, the ArchGod of Time. He is a fat old guy covered by a green and grey cloak, he has a big sickle on his right hand. [Juno] Once inside the building, Juno hears a disturbing noise. A baby crying. But how was it possible? Juno (thinking): ¡°A baby? Here? I though they only created adult beings like Gowan did with Or¡­¡± Juno walks the hallway of the building, reaching a throne with a big cloak behind it. A baby is lying on the throne, crying. Juno approaches that baby, but he doesn¡¯t know what to do. Its only experiences were always with old people, never the youngsters. Juno thinks he should take the baby out and carry he with him. But something about the baby just doesn¡¯t feel right. Around the baby¡¯s neck there is that symbol Juno had seen in the figurines of Korra¡¯s lair. [Garaam] Zubiat: ¡°Farewell, who shall I fight then?¡± Jinzo: ¡°It is my pleasure.¡± Worigama: ¡°Wait, you cannot do..¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± ¨C says Garaam interrupting Worigama Jinzo starts slowly walking towards Zubiat while taking his sword out at the same time. Jinzo: ¡°It is a honor to fight the ArchGod of Time. I would like to¡­¡± But before Jinzo can finish his sentence, Zubiat appears before him on a fighting stance with his sickle. Zubiat slices him with his weapon, however, it does not deal any damage, not even a cut, instead it passes right through him. As it is passing, the sound of a clock can be heard, along with the number 30 appearing from the clock around Jinzo. Jinzo banishes at that time, like he got teleported away. Garaam is confident. Jinzo: ¡°Oh hello, my name is Jinzo. I¡¯m here to-..¡± Jinzo stops. Jinzo: ¡°Wait a minue¡­I¡¯ve already done this¡­¡± Jinzo finds himself in Garaam¡¯s old place, the destroyed kingdom, as implied by Jojo. Jinzo: ¡°Did I..get back in time?!¡± [Juno] Juno sits on the floor next to the throne. He really is lost. He looks at the floor behind him, as he has completely no idea of what is happening anymore. ¡°Do you know where my mom is?¡± ¨C says a kid¡¯s voice Juno looks up, there is now a kid sitting on the throne where once was a baby. Juno (confused): ¡°Euh..I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t¡­¡± The kid looks around. Kid: ¡°It¡¯s ok¡­I¡¯m used to it. Mother doesn¡¯t really exist you know.¡± Juno says nothing. Juno: ¡°What¡¯s your name kid?¡± Kid: ¡°I¡¯m Zubiat, and you?¡± Juno is surprised. Juno: ¡°My name is Juno. So¡­you¡¯re the ArchGod of Time?!¡± Kid is confused. Kid: ¡°ArchGod? What¡¯s that?¡± Juno doesn¡¯t answer. [Garaam] Worigama: ¡°He is gone?¡± Micaela: ¡°Good I never liked him anyway.¡± Garaam: ¡°He isn¡¯t gone, he just went back in time, right Zubiat?¡± Zubiat stays calms and he interacts with them. Zubiat: ¡°Who shall be next?¡± Garaam: ¡°Micaela.¡± Micaela: ¡°Sure.¡± Micaela moves a bit forward. Garaam smirks. Garaam (Thinking): ¡°He is actually using his energy¡­that¡¯s good.¡± Micaela snaps her fingers. But before an explosion occurs, just like she did with Bala, a clock sound can be heard. A transparent clock appears covering the whole area. Micaela: ¡°uh? Maybe I did it wrong¡­¡± Micaela snaps her fingers again, but nothing happens besides a clock sound. She tries again, and again, and again, same result, a clock sound. Micaela (confused): ¡°eeeeeh?! Master Garaam, I think my fingers are broken!¡± Garaam: ¡°Don¡¯t¡¯ be fool. He is freezing your explosions before they detonate.¡± Micaela: ¡°What?! Even I don¡¯t know when those things explode!¡± Zubiat: ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s all there is. Who¡¯s next?¡± Micaela: ¡°Wait now¡­ You think I can only blow things up?¡± Micaela quickly dashes in Zubiat¡¯s direction, preparing to hit him with her right hand, however, right before she lands the hit, a clock sounds can be heard. She stopped in time, she couldn¡¯t move neither speak, she was however conscient about her surroundings. Zubiat: ¡°I asked who¡¯s next?¡± However, Micaela¡¯s eyes are slowing turning to Zubiat¡¯s direction. Zubiat (surprised): ¡°Uh?¡± Micaela starts to slowly move, first her eyes, then her head, even though she is struggling to do it, it seems that Zubiat¡¯s power can be countered after all. Zubiat: ¡°Hmm so you¡¯re breaking my power through your will? No. You¡¯re actually a Goddess of Motion. That explains it.¡± Micaela puts a smile on her face, as she finally breaks out of Zubiat¡¯s power. She continues with her attack, however, again as she is about to hit him he phases out as a clock sounds can be heard. She repeats the same move, and so does he. However, it¡¯s quite clear that Zubiat is getting tired. Garaam (thinking): ¡°Perfect. Continue making him use his energy Micaela.¡± In one of the attacks, Micaela fakes it than changes her direction, which happens to be the exact place where Zubiat reappears, finally hitting him with her punch. Micaela: ¡°Got ya!¡± Zubiat immediately tries to slice her, just like he did with Jinzo, however, he can never hit her. She is too quick for his moves and he is far too tired to keep up with her. As Micaela is about to do what it seams like a final blow, Zubiat slices the air between them, opening a rift. Micaela has no time to stop her attack and enters the rift. Zubiat immediately closes it afterwards. Micaela finds herself outside the building. Zubiat is tired, he can barely breath. Garaam: ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got now, Zubiat?¡± Micaela re-enters the building. Garaam continues: ¡°You can¡¯t even send her back in time, neither far away from this place anymore¡­ Also, Godo-Modo is totally out of question for you now.¡± Zubiat puts a smile on his face. He spins his sickle and hits the ground. A huge amount of energy comes from his sickle, the sound of many clocks could be heard. However, nothing happens. Zubiat is confused. There is a grey barrier around the building. Garaam: ¡°Was that your last attempt at sending us all back to the past? Well¡­you failed.¡± Jinzo appears again. Jinzo: ¡°Good think I showed up to counter that attack hum?¡± Jinzo is the God of Void, his powers allow him to manipulate the dimension itself. The barrier goes down, it was Jinzo¡¯s ability. Garaam: ¡°I wonder they don¡¯t you just surrender and lets us move with the plan. I thought the ArchGod of Time would understand it better than anyone else.¡± Zubiat: ¡°I¡¯m just stalling.¡± Garaam: ¡°Stalling? For what?¡± [Juno] Kid: ¡°I¡¯m bored.¡± Juno: ¡°I know¡­I am bored too¡­¡± Kid: ¡°Do something!¡± Juno: ¡°What am I supposed to do?¡± Kid: ¡°turn around!¡± Juno turns around. ¡°Now, don¡¯t turn your back on me like that kid.¡± ¨C says an older voice Juno turns back and doesn¡¯t see the kid anymore, instead, there is an adult man. Juno (confused): ¡°What a-¡­¡± Adult: ¡°What brings you here, Human?¡± Juno: ¡°I just entered a door¡­¡± Adult: ¡°I know. But why?¡± Juno: ¡°Well..because¡­¡± Adult: ¡°Because it was opened. Right?¡± Juno doesn¡¯t answer. Adult: ¡°Close your eyes this time. Think about your life. Well¡­about when you were alive.¡± Juno closes his eyes and starts remembering. ¡°Time flies by in this dimension. You¡¯ve been out of your world for 712 years, counting.¡± ¨C says an old voice Juno (shocked): ¡°How¡­how¡¯s that possible?!¡± Old voice: ¡°Well...first¡­you took 200 years to fall from that portal to this dimension, since you do not own any kind of energy, like us. Then you¡¯ve been spending the next 512 years exploring this dimension, until now.¡± Juno: ¡°Is this real¡­?¡± Old voice: ¡°Tell me, Human. Do you want to see your family?¡± Juno doesn¡¯t answer, he still can¡¯t believe what the voice has just said. Old voice: ¡°Do you want perhaps to revisit the past? To change things. Go back to your home. Do you want, by any chance, live your life, as you used to? Do you, want, to¡­ rewrite this story?¡± Juno says nothing for a bit, then: ¡°No.¡± Old voice: ¡°Are you sure about it? Humans tend to make mistakes. They have the need to be wrong to be right afterwards. To find the great solution. Are you sure about your answer, Human?¡± Juno: ¡°To be fair¡­ I¡¯ve never really lived a life among the living. I always was a death kind of guy.¡± Old voice: ¡°Very well. Open your eyes and tell me your name.¡± Juno slowly opens his eyes. Juno: ¡°My name is Juno.¡± In front of Juno, sitting on the throne, there is an old man, there is no mistaken, it is Zubiat, the ArchGod of Time. Zubiat: ¡°Juno, I see. You came here to help, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Juno: ¡°Yes. I¡¯m going to help where I can.¡± Zubiat: ¡°As you can see, I¡¯m the only one here. My duty is far too important to be held by others. A simple mistake could result in reality itself falling a part. I¡¯m sorry for the inconvenient.¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s alright. I still got time, I guess.¡± Zubiat: ¡°We have all the time of the world, Juno.¡± Zubiat gets up and goes right in front of Juno. Zubiat: ¡°My time has come to go. This war is no longer mine. May we meet again, Juno.¡± Juno doesn¡¯t really understand what Zubiat just said. Juno: ¡°We will¡­¡± Zubiat puts his right hand on Juno¡¯s chest. Zubiat¡¯s hands start glowing gold, and the same weird symbol Juno had seen before appears on Juno¡¯s chest again. Zubiat: ¡°Juno, you have the blessing of the ArchGod of Time.¡± A clock sounds can be heard. [Garaam] Garaam: ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter. Stalling when we have a 100% chance of winning changes nothing.¡± Zubiat: ¡°Well¡­ It seams like It is finally time.¡± Zubiat gets on his knees, looks up to the clock and smiles. Garaam: ¡°Hmpf.¡± Many clock sounds could be heard. A bunch of explosions occur, it seams like everything Zubiat has done was undone. The whole building gets destroyed, as Garaam, Worigama, Micaela and Jinzo flee away. Micaela: ¡°So what¡¯s the next active ArchGod?¡± Jinzo: ¡°Is it Toffee perhaps?¡± *laughs* Worigama: ¡°You guys had that mission. We¡¯re moving to the next one. Korra, the ArchGodess of Equilibrium.¡± [Juno] ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you perhaps forget how to walk, Human named Juno?¡± ¨C says Korra Juno finds himself in the entrance of her gate, about to leave again. He is confused but doesn¡¯t bother with it. He turns around to her and says: ¡°Take me to the next ArchGod.¡± Korra: ¡°Very well.¡± Korra opens the door that takes them to the very first room with the weird figurines. Juno asks what¡¯s special about it. As Korra reply: ¡°They are our symbol.¡± Then she proceeds to talk about another subject. ¡°You have no idea what¡¯s Garaam¡¯s plan, do you, Human named Juno? Garaam wasn¡¯t always like this. Every single one of us together are what it¡¯s called creation. You see, even though we all have the power to create, Garaam is the only one with the power to actually delete such creation. And that¡¯s part of the problem. Time past by and as we were creating things, Garaam¡¯s role was becoming more obsolete. With so little to do about everything in this reality, he started asking why he is different, why his power doesn¡¯t fit in all this. That power that created us, that¡¯s what Garaam seeks. We, ArchGods, were created by Hyperium, that being blessed us with the power to create, and of course, our own titles which are our powers. That¡¯s how we came to live, that¡¯s our role in creation. He is confident that he can obtain it and change everything. Mold reality itself into his own image of it. Of course, we, or rather some of us do no agree with his point of view so we don¡¯t join him. But as you can see, that¡¯s what leads us to war. This war solo purpose is to change things. Whatever it is the result, things won¡¯t be the same anymore. Well¡­¡± Another door shows up between them. Korra: ¡°Go on now.¡± Juno has a lot of questions, but he knows it wouldn¡¯t help asking her. Juno starts walking through the door. Korra: ¡°Oh and Juno¡­ Don¡¯t come back here once your done.¡± Juno says nothing and keeps walking. As he is walking, he finds out that now he has 2 gloves, one in each of his hands. He doesn¡¯t bother though, he doesn¡¯t really care about what¡¯s going on anymore. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± ¨C says a female voice Juno: ¡°I¡¯m sorry for appearing like this. My name is Juno. I¡¯m here to help.¡± ¡°Help? Looks around you. My Gods have already helped too much!¡± It seems like this ArchGodess lair is some sort of ruins. The ArchGodess is as tall as Juno, she wears a brown kimono and has a hump. ¡°Come forward Juno, I can¡¯t really sense you from there.¡± Juno gets next to her. He can¡¯t stop looking at her eyes, who don¡¯t move. ¡°You¡¯re a Human aren¡¯t you? ¨C says the women I can tell by your energy. I mean, lack of it.¡± Juno: ¡°Yeah¡­ So what ArchGodess are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Osaria, the ArchGodess of Motion.¡± ¨C says the women Juno: ¡°So you¡¯re alone here?¡± Osaria: ¡°No! Well¡­now yes.¡± Juno: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Osaria: ¡°One of my Gods¡­Micaela. She turned against us and killed every single of my Gods. It was horrible.¡± Juno: ¡°Wow¡­I¡¯m sorry.¡± Osaria: ¡°Don¡¯t be. I¡¯ll take care of her later. For now, we have to focus on the war!¡± Juno: ¡°I¡¯m not really into this war thing¡­I¡¯m just gonna pay assistance to the fallen Gods.¡± Osaria: ¡°Oh? Just that? I mean¡­you¡¯re a Human yes. You¡¯re pretty useless anyway.¡± Juno: ¡°Thanks¡­¡± Osaria: ¡°I¡¯m sorry. But you just can¡¯t do nothing here. Our wounds aren¡¯t like yours. Neither is our skin, nor our soul. You can¡¯t help at all!¡± Juno (raging): ¡°Damn it! Couldn¡¯t any of you told me that since the beginning?! Why am I even going through all of this?!¡± Osaria: ¡°Dunno. You can¡¯t fight, neither heal. I¡¯ll recommend you to just save yourself some days and go back to your Dimension. Garaam will act there too once he is done here.¡± Juno: ¡°Wait..what?¡± Osaria: ¡°I¡¯m not the one with those answers. That¡¯s Korra¡¯s job.¡± Juno (thinking): ¡°Korra¡­She told me to never return there¡­¡± Osaria: ¡°She told you to not return there using the door, though.¡± Juno: ¡°What?¡± Osaria: ¡°We can read your thoughts, any ArchGod can!¡± Juno: ¡°Oh yeah¡­I thought that was just Gowan¡­¡± Osaria laughs. Osaria: ¡°I¡¯m sorry for wasting your time.¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s alright. We got all the time of the world. What do you do anyway?¡± Osaria: ¡°I¡¯m the one responsible for everything that moves. You see, without me, time itself wouldn¡¯t even work!¡± Juno: ¡°I see¡­¡± Osaria: ¡°Perhaps you need a demonstration?¡± Juno: ¡°No..don¡¯t bother. I¡¯ll be going now anyway¡­¡± Osaria: ¡°Oh come on.¡± Juno (thinking): ¡°What choice do I have...¡± Osaria: ¡°Exactly.¡± Osaria stands up. Osaria: ¡°See that mountain over there?¡± Juno: ¡°Yep.¡± Osaria: ¡°Observe.¡± Osaria makes a move with her hand, making the mountain moving along with it. Osaria: ¡°This is something I can do using my power. Pretty neat uh?¡± Juno: ¡°Yeah quite impressive.¡± Osaria: ¡°It sure is. Even more impressive when you realize that I¡¯m blind!¡± Juno: ¡°What?!¡± Osaria continues: ¡°Oh and that I¡¯m deaf and paralyzed!¡± *laughs* Juno: ¡°You¡¯re joking now aren¡¯t you¡­?¡± Osaria: ¡°For real. I¡¯m all that. But my power allows me to understand everything. I can see you. I can hear you. I can see that mountain too. My power works with anything, just like I said before. I can hear the vibrations you emit while talking and making noise and sounds, and I get to understand it. The same goes for my eyes. That¡¯s the reason why I told you to come closer when you entered, so I would be able to sense you and actually see you using my power.¡± Juno: ¡°Wow¡­so you really are dependent of it¡­¡± Osaria: ¡°You can say it¡­ Yet I am more in this world than you would ever be.¡± Juno: ¡°Yeah I understand it.¡± Juno: ¡°Well fi there is nothing I can do for you then I¡¯ll go back.¡± Osaria: ¡°Back? And where exactly is back?¡± Juno has no answer. He can¡¯t help in this war, so there is no use for him. Osaria: ¡°You¡¯re lacking a purpose, don¡¯t you? You¡¯re a Human and you want to help us. But you can¡¯t. That won¡¯t change. Yet, something inside of you keeps arguing, saying that you HAVE to help us. I feel it screaming inside of you.¡± Juno looks to the floor, upset. Osaria: ¡°now now¡­ There is always a way.¡± Osaria puts her right hand on Juno¡¯s chest. ¡°What exactly is this blessing?¡± asks Juno while Osaria¡¯s hand starts glowing Gold and the weird symbol reappears. Osaria: ¡°Just a little purpose for you. That way you can at least survive.¡± Juno is confused. Osaria: ¡°Juno, I like you. And so, I¡¯ll give you this. The blessing of the ArchGodess of Motion.¡± The glows disappear along with the symbol. Osaria: ¡°Now¡­what do you feel like doing with those shoes of yours?¡± Juno looks down, it seams like he has got some new shoes. Osaria: ¡°Before you get into something else, keep in mind that at this stage of the war, besides those who are missing, there are only 2 ArchGods left besides those working with Garaam. Gowan, the ArchGod of Serenity and Toffee, the ArchGodess of Senses. I myself have been defeat already. And so did Korra¡­ And since you already know Gowan, I would advice to go meet with Toffee. However, I must warn you¡­ She is an interesting being, just like you.¡± *laughs* Juno: ¡°Fine.¡± (thinking): ¡°It¡¯s not like I got much else to do here¡­¡± ¡°How can I find her?¡± Osaria: ¡°She will find you.¡± Juno: ¡°Uh?¡± Osaria: ¡°Just go already. Time doesn¡¯t stop.¡± Juno doesn¡¯t understand but gets out anyway. He walks past the ruins, he finds himself in a desert. There is no sign of life, neither any type of building, nothing but sand. End of Chapter 6. Extra Chapter 1: A boy and his pencil Extra Chapter 1: A boy and his pencil Power. Some have one, others don¡¯t. For some, it means duty, a responsibility, a reason to live. For others it means a burden, a curse, a reason to be hated. That¡¯s the case of Zack, a teen boy who lives on a big city. He was born with a , as the scientists called it. His parents however, called it a . He seamed an ordinary kid since the day he was born, he grew up just like every other ordinary kid in this world. However, once he was 6 years old, everything changed. On his 6th birthday, his parents gifted him a pencil and a board. The kid was delighted with his new gift, he drew everything he could, every single object he could find. His parents were of course happy for him and impressed, their kid actually had talent for drawing. The more he drew, the better he was. His parents made him start drawing in class, then in the streets. People passing by admired his drawings and claimed that the kid was a genius for such an early age. The kid of course, had lots of pleasure just by drawing, he didn¡¯t care about the commentaries those people gave him or to his parents. He eventually started to earn lots of money for his buildings, a money made and managed by his parents who took benefit from their talented son. Live was just perfect for that family. Until one day, something happened. Something one could just not comprehend. A Human being could not accept. The kid was on his room, drawing as usual. He had drawn Atlantis, the water realm of Poseidon, except he added a giant cut on it, slicing it in half. An innocent painting as some would say. Except, that it actually happened. Atlantis was really sliced in half. No one knows why or how or who, it just kinda happened. The news started to worry those who knew of the kid¡¯s drawing of Atlantis.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. What happened next didn¡¯t help either. The kid didn¡¯t stop there. No. His imagination was far greater, it was like a flower blooming in the spring. He drew a meteor destroying a volcano on some imaginary islands. He drew a huge ship named crashing into some icebergs. And eventually, it all happened. Rumors spread quickly, they said that the Kid was cursed, and his drawings turn out to be real. And in fact, those rumors were true. The parents of the kid got worried with him, he was too dangerous. They eventually got a call from some scientist whiling to study his and eventually working on a way to take it out of him, which the parents agreed for no price other than to his child to be normal. The scientists held the kid locked on a dark room, empty with only a pencil a aboard on his hands. Their plan was to explore the kid¡¯s potential. And they succeed. The kid, even though he couldn¡¯t see in the dark, started to paint using his heart. His drawings of course, became real the exact moment he had just finished drawing. A progress, his powers were growing strong. The kid drew a big light in the middle of the room, a chair so he could seat, a door so he could leave the place. But of course, the scientists didn¡¯t agree with that idea. Instead, they became hostile for him. They forced him to stay, to experiment more and more. Ten years had passed. There really wasn¡¯t a way out for the kid. He eventually became furious with them and draw. He drew like he had never drawn before. He drew a tank with the scientists inside of it, he filled it with water as they were screaming in agony, and in order to shut them up, the kid drew a big shark inside of it. The screams stopped. The door could finally be used. The kid steps outside, without a parent to give him orders, without a scientist to experiment on him, just a kid and the world. Later the same day, on the kid¡¯s old city, it seams like none recognizes him anymore. He finds a newspaper on the floor, it seems like the kid¡¯s parents were burned by the people from the city. They say they were witches, probably because of their child who had powers. The kids throws the newspaper away. His stomach starts making hungry noises. He hadn¡¯t eaten for days. A 16 years old girl comes close to him. ¡°I could use some food too¡± ¨C says the girl with a smile on her face The kid doesn¡¯t answer, he doesn¡¯t even make eye contact with her. He just walks away. ¡°Could you perhaps draw some food for me, pretty please?¡± ¨C says the girl with a sweet voice The kid stops. The girl knows who he is. But has opposite has the scientists, she isn¡¯t actually forcing him to draw. Those are words Zack had never heard before, but he knows their meaning. He turns around to the girl and says: ¡°Just a moment.¡± He takes his board from his jacket and a pencil from his jacket¡¯s pocket. He starts drawing some food. But not vegetables like he was used to draw forced by the scientist. No. He draw some burgers he had seen from a restaurant¡¯s commercial earlier on the streets. The food appears floating right into their hands. ¡°Wow. That was amazing!¡± ¨C says the girl while eating the burger. They seat on a bench eating together. ¡°So, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¨C says the girl ¡°I thought you know me?¡± ¨C says the boy surprised ¡°I do. Just not your name¡± ¨C says the girl ¡°My name is Zack.¡± ¨C says the boy ¡°Sweet. My name is Sophia.¡± ¨C says the girl with a smile ¡°Well, I hope we see each other again Zack.¡± ¨C says Sophia with a big smile on her face as she is leaving, shaking her hand to Zack Zack says nothing. He finds a small piece of paper on her side of the bench, she had probably lost it without realizing it. Zack picks up the paper. Paper: ¡°Podoro-Team, where your special powers are welcome! We are all just like you, Zack DuGrand.¡± To be continued. Chapter 7: The Comeback Chapter 7: The comeback Alpha: ¡°Ouf. We actually got out no worries!¡± Kon (eating some food): ¡°Yeah I to be honest I thought we were lost there!¡± Alpha: ¡°Is everyone alright?¡± ¡°Yes¡± said everyone. Alpha: ¡°Good¡± Alpha looks to the sky, thinking: ¡°What have we become¡­?¡± [Pocket dimension] Kado: ¡°So this is all there is left uh?¡± Urango: ¡°Yes. Gowan and Toffee are all there is left. Oh and those who escaped just now of course.¡± *laughs* Kado is mad. Ulitharid: ¡°No need to worry about them. After all, we are about to win this war.¡± Urango: ¡°He is right.¡± At that moment, Garaam shows up in the pocket dimension, along with Worigama, Micaela and Jinzo. Jinzo: ¡°Uh? Aren¡¯t there supposed to be more ArchGods than this?¡± Worigama: ¡°There should¡­¡± Garaam: ¡°Would you care to explain, ArchGod of Knowledge?¡± Kado: ¡°You see¡­some of them got out¡­we couldn¡¯t stop it. I¡¯m sorry, Garaam.¡± Garaam: ¡°I see¡­¡± Garaam¡¯s staff starts shinning. Urango: ¡°We¡¯re about to win the war, aren¡¯t we?¡± Garaam¡¯s staff stops shinning. Garaam: ¡°Yes. Of course we are! Or is there anything to be worried about?¡± Urango: ¡°No such thing.¡± Kado: ¡°Worigama did you take care of that affair?¡± Worigama (hesitating): ¡°Yes¡­of course I did.¡± Kado: ¡°Excellent.¡± Garaam: ¡°What affair?¡± Urango: ¡°Oh nothing to be worried about, it was just a mistake on the system, it is corrected now. Should we perhaps start?¡± Garaam: ¡°I thought Toffee would actually show up. Such disappointment. Oh well¡­ Vulpina, go take care of her.¡± Vulpina (annoyed): ¡°What? Why does it have to be me? Grrrr¡­¡± Vulpina goes anyway, she opens a portal back to the ArchGod Dimension, leaving the Pocket Dimension. Kado: ¡°And for Gowan?¡± Urango: ¡°What about you go, Kado?¡± Kado: ¡°Uh?!¡± Garaam: ¡°What a brilliant idea. You¡¯re job here is done anyways, right Kado?¡± Kado: ¡°¡­Yes. You¡¯re right.¡± Kado opens a portal and goes back to the ArchGod Dimension. Worigama: ¡°What¡¯s the next step, Master Garaam?¡± Garaam: ¡°Isn¡¯t it quite obvious? If those ArchGods freed themselves¡­than we¡¯re just gonna take them back. The same way we did with the others.¡± Jinzo: ¡°No need to explain furthermore Master Garaam. We are in our way.¡± As Jinzo, Micaela and Worigama turn their back and open a portal, Garaam says: ¡°Don¡¯t hold back this time.¡± As everyone one of them answers at the same time: ¡°Yes Master.¡± And they go through the portals. [Juno in the desert] Juno has been walking in the desert all by himself. Still no signs of anything else than sand. Suddenly, Juno comes across a big valley in the middle of the desert, with a big bridge going from one side to the other. Juno crosses the bridge, which breaks when he reaches his half. Juno falls from it, but he isn¡¯t scared, he has accepted that things aren¡¯t the same anymore. What would a fall even do to him at this point? Break some bones? He can¡¯t die since he is already dead! However, none of those things happen. When he is about to hit the ground, something grabs him and quickly pulls him to the other side of the bridge. Juno couldn¡¯t see who or what saved him from that fall. ¡°What are you doing here to begin with?¡± ¨C says a female voice from far away into the desert Juno tries to track the voice down, running, following the voice. ¡°You¡¯¡¯re not on your world, haven¡¯t they told you that yet?¡± ¨C continues the voice Juno continues running, the voices is becoming closer. ¡°I should kill you on spot for just being here.¡± ¨C continues the voice The closest the voice was, the faster Juno would run. *Sighs* ¡°You aren¡¯t listening, are you? Even better. You¡¯re ignoring me. I like that. I really do.¡± ¨C says the voice, closest to Juno than ever. Juno finally reaches it. He finds a tree, in the middle of the desert. Juno (surprised): ¡°Are you a tree?¡± ¡°Yes. I am the almighty Tree. I shall grant you 3 wishes. Go ahead, Human. ¡­ The fuck do you think you are talking to?!¡± ¨C says the voice shouting A woman comes from the top of the tree. ¡°I am Toffee, you fool.¡± ¨C says the woman Juno: ¡°Oh¡­great. Just the ArchGodess I was looking for!¡± Toffee (surprised): ¡°Uh?!¡± Juno: ¡°The ArchGodess of Motion told me to seek you.¡± Toffee: ¡°What?!¡± Juno: ¡°You don¡¯t know why?¡± ¡°Do I look like someone who cares about anything? Get lost Human!¡± ¨C says Toffee while turning her back on Juno and walking away Juno: ¡°Wait!¡± Juno runs to her and holds her hand. Juno: ¡°I just-¡­¡± Toffee punches Juno in the face with great strength, which Juno surprisingly dodges before it actually connects. Both are surprised. Toffee: ¡°Are you¡­mocking me, Human?!¡± Juno (surprised): ¡°Euh¡­nothing like that! I just want you to-¡­¡± Toffee tries to punch Juno again, the same result. He dodges every single punch Toffee throws to him. Toffee is getting mad every time one of her punches is failing. Toffee stops and breaths heavily while looking at Juno. Toffee (calmly): ¡°What do you want?¡± Juno: ¡°You see I¡­¡± Toffee finally lands a punch on Juno¡¯s face, sending him against the tree, breaking it. Toffee (in raged): ¡°This is for bothering me, Human!¡± Toffee turns her back and starts walking away. Juno however, seams like has got no scratch and gets up like nothing happened. Juno is quite confused, but he knows he can¡¯t let her go away. Juno: ¡°What¡¯s your problem?!¡± Toffee stops. Toffee: ¡°In this moment, you. I don¡¯t know why you still in this Dimension. Here¡­¡± Toffee opens a portal. Toffee continues: ¡°Take it and get out!¡± Juno: ¡°I¡¯m not going anywhere.¡± Toffee: ¡°Are you idiot? Never mind, of course you are! Fine. You will die here along with the others.¡± Juno: ¡°What others?¡± Toffee: ¡°Us.¡± Juno: ¡°Why are¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°I can¡¯t defeat him ok? Not when he has control over everything now.¡± Juno: ¡°¡­ Garaam?¡± Toffee: ¡°Who else should I be talking about?!¡± Juno: ¡°You were planning on fighting him?¡± Toffee: ¡°You really are getting on my nerves now¡­¡± Toffee turns back to Juno. She puts her right hand on the ground. Her right hand starts glowing gold. Toffee: ¡°Everything about this world is dead. He killed it. No only his Gods but others helped. How do you think this happened?Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. By talking? Of course there was fighting and blood!¡± Juno: ¡°Garaam alone did this?¡± Toffee: ¡°Basically. Is that all you wanted to know?¡± Juno: ¡°Not really. I wanted to know about those¡­Blessings?¡± Toffee: ¡°What Blessings?¡± Juno looks at his rings. Juno: ¡°The last ArchGods I¡¯ve meet¡­They gave me something called a Blessing. Do you know what that means?¡± Toffee: ¡°Why should I?!¡± Juno: ¡°The last one told me you were the only ArchGod left¡­ So I suppose you got something to do with it too.¡± Toffee (in raged): ¡°Get lost! I know shit about those Blessings! That¡¯s their doing not mine!¡± Juno: ¡°Come on now! A lot of stuff have happened and I have no clue what¡¯s happening anymore!¡± Toffee: ¡°I¡¯ve told you already! Garaam won. That¡¯s all there is! No enter the damn portal and leave me alone!¡± Juno walks towards Toffee. Toffee: ¡°Uh?!¡± Juno punches Toffee on her stomach. She doesn¡¯t even move, it was meaningless. However, Toffee gets even more mad, but suddenly, tears start falling from Juno¡¯s face. Juno: ¡°I¡­just want a reason to be here¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°What a f-¡­?¡± Juno: ¡°I need a reason to exist¡­¡± Toffee stops and calms down. Toffee: ¡°That¡¯s precisely the problem. We won¡¯t be existing more much more time.¡± Juno: ¡°Can¡¯t you really stop him?¡± Toffee: ¡°He is the strongest among us. Not even our power combined could change that¡­¡± Juno (shouts): ¡°There has to be something!¡± Toffee stares at Juno¡¯s rings. Toffee: ¡°Blessings uh¡­?¡± Toffee feels someone¡¯s energy approaching. Toffee: ¡°Let¡¯s get out of here.¡± Juno: ¡°Uh?¡± Toffee slaps the ground with her hands, the ground around her and Juno starts breaking and they disappear. Vulpina arrived at the location. Vulpina: ¡°Uh? I could swear I sensed Toffee¡¯s energy here¡­ Oh well.¡± Vulpina stares at the broken tree. ¡°¡± (= fancy charm) The ground starts shacking, the tree gets remade as new. Tree: ¡°Oh my ArchGodess! Vulpina! My love! Thank you so much for reviving me! How can I thank you?!¡± Vulpina: ¡°Tell me, where did she go?¡± Tree: ¡°She used a teleporting spell to run away.¡± Vulpina: ¡°spell uh? Smart as always¡­¡± Tree: ¡°She wasn¡¯t alone though¡± Vulpina: ¡°Is that it? She isn¡¯t much of hanging with Gods¡­ Perhaps Gowan? Since he is the only ArchGod left¡­¡± Tree: ¡°He had no energy, she called him Human.¡± Vulpina is surprised. Vulpina: ¡°Oh¡­is that so? (thinking): Worigama¡­so you failed¡­I guess it¡¯s time for me to get some recognition from master Kado. *laughs*¡± Vulpina: ¡°Thanks Tree.¡± Tree: ¡°Oh it was my pleasure my Love!¡± Vulpina smiles. [¡­] Juno: ¡°Where are we?¡± Toffee: ¡°Does it matter? Someone was sent to find us it seems.¡± Juno: ¡°Garaam?¡± Toffee: ¡°Don¡¯t be fool. It had the energy of a God.¡± Juno: ¡°I see¡­I guess¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Now that we talk about it¡­ I don¡¯t feel any energy coming from you. What¡¯s the deal?¡± Juno: ¡°How am I supposed to know? I don¡¯t even know what energy you¡¯re talking about!¡± Toffee: ¡°Is that so? Hmm¡­¡± Toffee puts her right hand on Juno¡¯s chest. Toffee: ¡°Nop. Nothing.¡± Juno: ¡°If you say so¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Maybe it is because my energy is far greater than yours, so yours kinda just gets ignored by it. I¡¯ve never be near a Human to know.¡± Juno: ¡°Well I¡¯ve been around Humans for my whole life and still I haven¡¯t felt any energy at all¡± *laughs* Toffee: ¡°Yeah yeah. Jokes aside. What¡¯s that shitty costume you¡¯re wearing? Seems like half of the one we use.¡± Juno: ¡°Oh yeah. Gowan gave me this cloak. Harkiles gave me this belt for Gowan but we didn¡¯t find him. Korra gave me those rings. Zubiat gave me those 2 gloves. And Osaria gave me those shoes.¡± Toffee: ¡°I see¡­ So those are what you call a blessing?¡± Juno: ¡°That¡¯s how they called it.¡± ¡°Well If it isn¡¯t Toffee¡­ You failed.¡± ¨C says a man voice Alpha shows up, it seems like Toffee teleported them to the other ArchGods whereabouts. Toffee: ¡°hmpf. You guys couldn¡¯t handle it a little bit more could you?¡± Alpha: ¡°Well now¡­it was everyone¡¯s fault...¡± Alpha looks disappointed. Alpha: ¡°Our lairs¡­this world¡­it is all destroyed.¡± Juno: ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alpha: ¡°Uh? Are you that Human? Impossible. Worigama was sent to kill you.¡± Juno: ¡°Kill me?¡± Alpha: ¡°When you were at Harkiles¡¯ lair, a God was sent to kill you¡­ But if you¡¯re here then it means that you avoided it.¡± Juno: ¡°I saw none there when leaving with Or¡­ Speaking of it, aren¡¯t they with you?¡± Alpha: ¡°Hum?¡± Juno: ¡°Or and Arbihime. Korra said they went looking for you all.¡± Alpha: ¡°No. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Juno: ¡°I see¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Well now that you¡¯ve meet each other I¡¯ll leave him to you, Alpha.¡± Alpha: ¡°What?! You can¡¯t s-¡­.¡± Toffee ignores Alpha and teleports away. Alpha sighs. Alpha: ¡°This child¡­¡± Juno: ¡°¡­ So¡­who are you?¡± Alpha: ¡°I¡¯m Alpha, the ArchGod of Aspects. And you Human?¡± Juno: ¡°Juno.¡± Alpha stares at Juno¡¯s clothes. Juno: ¡°anything wrong?¡± Alpha: ¡°Why are you wearing such unique pieces of clothes?¡± Juno: ¡°They called it blessings¡­¡± Alpha laughs. Alpha: ¡°I got it!¡± Juno: ¡°what?!¡± Alpha: ¡°I was wodering how you were even existing still after you¡¯ve meet with Toffee. She isn¡¯t really the kind type of being as you might already know ahah! But now it makes sense!¡± Juno: ¡°Uh?!¡± Alpha: ¡°Your items.¡± Juno: ¡°My items?¡± Alpha: ¡°They are ArchGod items. I didn¡¯t recognize it at first glance because they are just various pieces put together. Those blessings you called¡­you can take it has a Gift. Something we ArchGods give to our Gods from time to time so they can help us with our duty.¡± Juno: ¡°A Gift¡­? I mean¡­ (thinking): Maybe this is what Harkiles did create for Gowan after all¡­¡± Alpha (enthusiastic): ¡°Now¡­let¡¯s find out what does what, shall we?¡± Juno: ¡°Euh¡­why should we? Besides this belt belongs to Gowan! It isn¡¯t even mine¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Great, let¡¯s start with him then! A belt made for the ArchGod of Serenity must have some weird power in there!¡± Juno is not happy with the idea but strips out his items anyway, except the belt. Juno: ¡°Weird¡­I don¡¯t feel anything¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Hmm¡­what do you think you would feel?¡± Juno: ¡°Gowan gave me that cloak so I wouldn¡¯t struggle in this Dimension¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Perhaps you got used to it by now.¡± An acceptable explanation for Juno. Alpha: ¡°So...let¡¯s give it a quick try!¡± Juno: ¡°Uh?¡± Alpha glows gold and summons a spiritual creature. A blue tiny monkey like being. Alpha: ¡°His name is Mak-ey! He will help us finding out about your items!¡± Juno: ¡°I still don¡¯t get it¡­¡± Mak-ey quickly punches Juno in his chest. Juno: ¡°Autch!¡± Juno is in great pain, Mak-ey hit him hard. Alpha: ¡°What?! What do you mean Autch?! Mak-ey is just my personal research helper! He deals as much damage as throwing a rock!¡± Juno (In pain): ¡°Well rocks can hurt¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Hmm¡­so you still can¡¯t feel anything?¡± Juno: ¡°Besides pain¡­ Not really.¡± Alpha: ¡°Well let¡¯s move on. The gloves now!¡± Juno takes of the belt and puts on the gloves. Alpha: ¡°Now¡­¡± Mak-ey punches Juno again on the chest but this time nothing happens, he doesn¡¯t even realize he had been punched. Juno: ¡°Uh? It felt nothing¡­¡± Alpha smiles. Alpha: ¡°Guess we found what the Gloves do to you! They make you resistant!¡± Juno looks at his gloves. Juno punches Mak-ey back. Mak-ey wasn¡¯t expecting it and go thrown away against a mountain, destroying it on the impact. Mak-ey banished due to the amount of damage he took. Juno is surprised. Juno: ¡°Uh¡­.sorry?!¡± Alpha: ¡°That was unexpected! It seams like you¡¯ve got the same strength as an ArchGod!¡± Juno is amazed. A Human with the power of an ArchGod? Alpha: ¡°Well¡­of course your powers only come from those items, but still.¡± Juno: ¡°Is he dead?¡± Alpha: ¡°No. He is alright. You did some good damage on him, but he is fine.¡± Alpha glows gold again and summons another creature. This time he summons a green serpent type creature. Alpha: ¡°Let¡¯s test your reflexes. This serpent moves at very high speed so be careful!¡± Juno: ¡°aight.¡± But before Juno could even do anything, the serpent had already knocked Juno against a rock who was about 5km away from their location. Juno: ¡°What?!¡± Juno was barely damaged but still surprised with how quick and strong that serpent is. Juno tries to pull himself of the rock but the serpent quickly involves around him, incapacitating him with his strength. Juno struggles. Juno: ¡°Well I guess that¡¯s my limit¡­eheh¡± Alpha teleports next to them. Alpha: ¡°Yeah seams about right. After all, your opponent is a God ahah.¡± The serpent releases Juno. Alpha: ¡°Now what should we try now¡­?¡± Juno: ¡°I would like to try the Rings!¡± Alpha: ¡°Very well. Here¡­¡± The serpent quickly picked up Juno¡¯s items and returned on the blink of an eye. Juno: ¡°Wow that¡¯s really fast¡­!¡± Alpha: ¡°Better idea. Why don¡¯t you try the boots?¡± *smiles* Juno: ¡°Sure.¡± Juno puts on the boots. Alpha: ¡°What about a race against the serpent?¡± Juno: ¡°What?! I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve realized it yet but¡­ He is far quicker than I am¡­.¡± Alpha: ¡°Just a friendly race, come on!¡± Juno sighs. Juno: ¡°Fine¡­¡± Juno gets next to the serpent. Alpha: ¡°The race is easy, you see that mountain over there?¡± (1000km away) Juno: ¡°What mountain?! I only see more rocks.¡± Alpha laughs. Alpha: ¡°Give it another try¡­ try harder Juno!¡± Juno looks ahead with great focus. Juno: ¡°I¡­I see it!!! It¡¯s so far though¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Then be ready at 3.¡± Alpha counts down. Alpha: ¡°1¡­ 2¡­ 3!¡± Juno and the serpent start moving toward the mountain. For Juno¡¯s surprised he is actually moving as quick as the serpent! Juno (shocked): ¡°What?! Wow.¡± They pass the mountain on a short time. The snake turns around in order to return to the beginning, concluding the race, however, it seams like Juno cannot stop running. Juno: ¡°No good! I cannot stop!¡± Juno runs, without slowing down. [meanwhile] Or and Arbihime arrive somewhere. Arbihime: ¡°You sure this is the right place?¡± Or: ¡°Yep. I remember it from Gowan¡¯s memory. Well¡­it has changed a lot but this is indeed the Human Dimension.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Tch¡­to think that we¡¯ve come to this point¡­¡± Someone approaches them. ¡°Arbihime, Or, so you came?¡± ¨C says a familiar voice, Baramelo A bunch of portals open up, from them came the ArchGods who had escaped the pocket dimension, along with many Gods. Arbihime: ¡°Is Gowan here too?¡± Baramelo: ¡°No. I am afraid we couldn¡¯t reach any of the other ArchGods who didn¡¯t come to the reunion.¡± Or: ¡°I see¡­¡± Arbihime: ¡°So we came here for nothing¡­¡± Tatania: ¡°What¡¯s the plan Baramelo? Without Alpha here you¡¯re the one in charge!¡± Baramelo: ¡°I¡­euh¡­I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Kon: ¡°What do you mean you don¡¯t know?! We can¡¯t just stay here forever!¡± Arbihime: ¡°Actually that¡¯s not a bad idea.¡± Everyone stops and listen to Arbihime, confused. Arbihime: ¡°You aren¡¯t fighters anyway¡­and your powers don¡¯t really fit this whole fight concept. Leave this to us.¡± Baramelo: ¡°Arbihime¡­¡± Arbihime looks around him, seeing all the Gods and ArchGods gathered around. Arbihime: ¡°We still haven¡¯t lost. We have 2 ArchGods still on the field. And I¡¯m also here to help.¡± Tatania: ¡°Are you sure about that? We haven¡¯t defeated any of Garaam¡¯s minions neither ArchGods¡­¡± Arbihime (with a serious face): ¡°Then we will changed that.¡± Arbihime opens a portal. Arbihime: ¡°You stay here Or. You¡¯re not a fighter either.¡± Or: ¡°¡­ Try to at least give them a change to comeback.¡± Arbihime (smiling): ¡°We both know they wont.¡± Arbihime goes through the portal. Kon: ¡°so¡­we¡¯re staying here?¡± Or: ¡°No. Arbihime had this idea¡­ To ask for the Gods here for help.¡± [somewhere else in a temple, ArchGod Dimension] Gowan stares at a big statue of a male being. Gowan: ¡°Hyperium¡­what should we do? Why don¡¯t you intervein?! Why aren¡¯t you here to help?!¡± Gowan punches the statue. Gowan (crying): ¡°can¡¯t you see that your own creation is getting destroyed?!¡± ¡°It is pointless. It had never answer any of us.¡± ¨C says an old voice at the temple¡¯s entry Gowan looks behind, it is Kado, the ArchGod of Knowledge. Kado: ¡°Hyperium left us many centuries ago. It ain¡¯t coming, it ain¡¯t helping. Garaam on the other hand¡­he is whiling to change things.¡± Gowan (aggressively): ¡°Garaam is a fool!¡± Kado: ¡°Well of course! Only a fool could do the change. I get why you dislike it, but it is for the good of everything.¡± Gowan: ¡°How can you even say that. You, the ArchGod of Knowledge from all of them!¡± Kado: ¡°I¡¯m not here to judge. I¡¯m here to share my Knowledge to you all.¡± Gowan shoots a green beam from his hands, hitting Kado and throwing away from the temple¡¯s entry. Gowan: ¡°Leave this place already!¡± Kado just flies on the top of the temple. Kado: ¡°Humpf. Don¡¯t get it do you? This thing you call Creation is nothing more than an ArchGod.¡± Kado rises his hands, levitating the whole temple along with Gowan. Gowan leaves the temple fast. Kado uses his Godlike powers to shrink the temple, destroying it. Gowan is infuriated. Gowan: ¡°You¡­¡± Kado: (= chains of pain) Kado throws chains from his hands, grabbing Gowan, wrapping him. Gowan easily breaks them and gets set free. Kado: ¡°Hmm¡­so this kind of spells don¡¯t work on you uh?¡± Kado summons a spear and throws at Gowan. The spear pierces Gowan before he could even realize. Gowan grabs the spear who is traversing his chest but when he tried to pull it out, 6 other spears appear on his body, hurting him, neutralizing him. Kado: ¡°Let¡¯s see how you deal with this now.¡± Kado faces his right hand to Gowan. He shoots a green flash from is hand. The area around Gowan got a green aura. Time itself was stopped inside of it, but Gowan still could feel all the pain of those spears traversing his body. Kado quickly moves his hands up and then down. There was a rift in the sky, that rift hit Gowan with great speed, knowing him to the ground. There was a lot of dust around the area. Once the dust went off, there was a green cage around Gowan. Kado: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did it do it? Ahah¡± Gowan eyes start shinning Gold. He starts breaking that green aura. The green aura gets absorbed by him. He quickly grabs the spears one by one and destroys them. He then dashes forward to Kado, however, he seems to not be able to break the green cage surrounding him. He punches the cage multiple times but doesn¡¯t even make a scratch. Kado: ¡°Well that will do it.¡± Gowan (shouting): ¡°Kado!!!¡± Kado smirks. Kado: ¡°I¡¯m not a fighter, contrarily of you. This is my way to fight you, I¡¯m sorry but that¡¯s how I work.¡± Kado turns his back to Gowan. Kado: ¡°This war is almost at an end¡­¡± Kado opens a portal and goes through it. [pocket dimension] Kado: ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Urango: ¡°What? Already?¡± *laughs* Kado: ¡°Who you think I am?!¡± Garaam: ¡°Well done. Then we¡¯re only missing Toffee now.¡± A portal opens. Canabes shows up. Canabes: ¡°Master Kado, we¡¯ve found the whereabouts of those who had escaped. And the Gods too.¡± Kado: ¡°Excellent. Where are they?¡± Canabes: ¡°In the Human Dimension.¡± Kado: ¡°oh?¡± Urango: ¡°Hmm¡­Even I couldn¡¯t see that coming¡­¡± Garaam: ¡°Let them. I¡¯ll take care of it too once I¡¯m done here.¡± Canabes: ¡°Yes Master Garaam.¡± Urango: ¡°So you plan on remaking literally everything? Interesting¡­¡± Garaam smirks. Kado: ¡°Now we only have to wait for Vulpina. And we can finally end this.¡± Garaam: ¡°There will be a lot of work to do after this.¡± Garaam opens a portal. Garaam: ¡°I¡¯ll be on my new lair, tell me once you¡¯re done.¡± Garaam walks through the portal. [Juno] Juno had finally stopped running. He had arrived at a familiar place. Juno: ¡°Korra¡¯s lair¡­¡± Juno is right in front of the gate of Korra¡¯s lair. (thinking): ¡°She told me no to come back¡­¡± Juno opens the gate and walks in. It seams like Garaam hasn¡¯t been here, there is no evidence of it at least. Everything is pretty much the same, except that the interior was replaced with that weird world with the weird figurines. Juno (thinking): ¡°I wonder if Korra is still here¡­¡± Juno walks upon the floating figurines. Juno sees a door on the other side of the room. He decides to go check, he jumps every single figurine on his way in order to pass through it. He finally reached the door. It¡¯s locked. And it doesn¡¯t look like it has any way to open it from this side. He looks behind. The whole room is empty now. There are no more figurines, no other doors. It seems like there is only Juno and the Door left. Juno hears a voice: ¡°Juno come back! Are you alright?!¡± Juno: ¡°Who¡­who¡¯s talking?¡± Everything fades to black. He open his eyes. Alpha: ¡°Ouf. You¡¯re alright.¡± Juno is back at the beginning of the race. Alpha: ¡°The serpent won, clearly. But that was a hell of a race! You were so fast, almost as fast as an ArchGod!¡± Juno stands up, confused. Juno: ¡°How did I get back here?¡± Alpha: ¡°The Serpent caught you and carried you here. You were speeding too much that you faded away.¡± Juno: ¡°I see¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Well...we¡¯re missing the rings, right?¡± Juno: ¡°Yep.¡± Juno puts the rings around his arms. Alpha: ¡°now..do you feel anything?¡± Juno: ¡°No thing.¡± Alpha sighs. Alpha: ¡°Might be just like the belt. Try think about it, harder.¡± Juno tries, but nothing happens. Alpha: ¡°Well I guess that¡¯s all there is¡­¡± Juno: ¡°The cloak is missing too.¡± Alpha: ¡°Oh yeah!¡± Juno puts on the cloak. Alpha: ¡°Concentrate Juno.¡± Juno starts floating. Juno: ¡°Woh¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°Floating? Excellent! One less secret there! Now if only we knew what the belt and the rings can do¡­¡± Juno floats, just like he was flying. He gets over the mountain next to them. A portal opens behind Alpha. Alpha (surprised): ¡°Uh?¡± Micaela: ¡°Well if it ain¡¯t you. Are the others here too?¡± Alpha: ¡°Micaela?!¡± Juno notices her. Micaela looks around. Micaela: ¡°Nop. Nowhere to be seen. I wonder what you¡¯re doing here alone¡­ Anyway. Garaam didn¡¯t give me clear orders about what to do with you¡­ So let¡¯s have some fun shall we?¡± *smirks* Alpha: ¡°It¡¯s not to late to turn to our side Micaela¡­¡± Micaela summons her flute. Micaela breaths in heavily but before she can start playing it.. A finger touches her shoulders. Micaela (surprised): ¡°Uh?¡± Juno: ¡°Are you the same God from the ArchGodess of Motion?¡± Micaela: ¡°Yep. Who are you?¡± Juno punches Micaela in the face, throwing her against the mountain. Micaela loses her flute. ¡°This is for Osaria¡¯s Gods.¡± ¨C says Juno with a serious face End of Chapter 7. Chapter 8: A Reason To Fight Chapter 8: A Reason To Fight The mountain starts cracking. Micaela is a little hurt. Micaela: ¡°What was that?¡± Alpha: ¡°Hey Juno¡­there was no need for such thing¡­¡± Juno stares at Micaela. Micaela: ¡°You aren¡¯t a God¡­you¡¯re the Human?! No¡­that can¡¯t be. A Human has not such strength.¡± Micaela smiles. Micaela: ¡°Anyway¡­ Human or not¡­¡± The mountain debris start glowing pink and start floating. Micaela: ¡°I have direct orders to stop you here.¡± Alpha: ¡°Micaela ¡­ you don¡¯t have to follow Garaam! Let us show you-¡­¡± A bunch of debris hit Alpha and knock him away. Micaela: ¡°You and me now, Human.¡± Juno: ¡°Why did you destroy your own home?¡± Micaela: ¡°Does it matter?!¡± Juno: ¡°Yes.¡± Micaela laughs. Micaela: ¡°I was tired of it. Simple as that. Tired of that ArchGod too.¡± The ground starts cracking and glowing pink. The debris start floating around Juno. Micaela: ¡°I decided to follow Garaam because he isn¡¯t a coward who is afraid of change.¡± The debris start attacking Juno. Juno tries to cover himself, defending himself with his arms but it¡¯s pointless, there are too many debris. Micaela: ¡°I don¡¯t hope a Human would understand it. But this world sucks.¡± Juno decides to change his tactic. Instead of defending himself, he decides to try to dodge the debris. Using his blessed boots, he is actually able to avoid every single successes debris attack with ease. Micaela (surprised): ¡°What?! You¡¯re fast too?!¡± Juno: ¡°You¡¯re right. I still don¡¯t get it.¡± Juno quickly dashes in front of Micaela leaving the floating debris behind. Juno prepares to punch Micaela. Juno: ¡°But dishing your own home just for some annoyance¡­¡± But before Juno punches her, his arm starts glowing pink. Juno: ¡°Uh?!¡± Juno immediately is sending flying away. Micaela: ¡°Hmpf.¡±Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Juno explodes in the air. Micaela: ¡°Like you know anything about us.¡± Ghostly hands appear behind Micaela, grabbing her shoulders. Micaela is taken by surprised. ¡°Oh my dear¡­your heart is filled with Guilt.¡± ¨C says a sinister voice Micaela (shocked): ¡°Im-impossible!¡± Micaela explodes the ghostly hands making them perish. Micaela gets a bit away from it. ¡°You can¡¯t escape me child. None can escape Guilt.¡± ¨C says the sinister voice The ground above Micaela cracks a bit, ghostly hands come from it and start covering Micaela. Micaela: ¡°Damn it¡­!¡± Micaela makes a huge explosion, destroying a large amount of the area as she lies flying on the air above a crater caused by that same explosion. Another ghostly hand comes from the smoke generated by the explosion. It grabs Micaela by her foot and tosses her back to the ground, but before Micaela hits the ground, she opens her arms and gets involved by a golden aura, destroying the ghostly hand. Micaela is in anger, floating on the air. Micaela: ¡°Tch. Good think Garaam is going to take care of all of you!¡± A ghostly being starts appearing coming from the ground. That ghost turns out to be Fula, the ArchGodess of Guilt. Fula: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± *smiles* Micaela aggressively snaps her finger, exploding Fula¡¯s ghostly form. Micaela rapidly snaps her fingers as Fula attempts to retake her ghostly again. ¡°She is the ArchGodess of Guilt. She must know that feel more than anyone.¡± ¨C says Juno from Micaela¡¯s back Micaela turns around in anger. Micaela: ¡°You¡­!¡± Micaela quickly engages on a fight against Juno, using her Motion powers as a God she tries to hit Juno with her strong fists, however, Juno is able to go even with her speed, dodging every attack of her. Juno eventually tries to counter attack her, but the same thing happens, it seams like they are both even in terms of speed. Micaela: ¡°Why can¡¯t I hit you?!¡± ¡°You lack motivation. You know this Human is right.¡± ¨C says Fula laughing Micaela (thinking): ¡°Hell I am!¡± Micaela increases her speed even further. She finally hits a blow on Juno, who gets knocked a bit away. Micaela smiles. Micaela quickly engages on Juno again, this time however, Juno isn¡¯t able to keep up with her speed anymore. He takes some heavy blows form Micaela. Micaela (in between blows): ¡°This is for calling me a waist! *punch* This is for calling me Guilty! *punch* This is for affronting me!¡± *punch* With each punch she throws, she is becoming faster and faster. Micaela: ¡°And this¡­ Is for messing with our affairs, Human!¡± But right before Micaela can deal the final blow on Juno, she feels a soft touch on her left arm. She immediately gets knocked down and falls on the ground. ¡°Alright. Playground is over.¡± ¨C says Toffee behind Micaela Juno: ¡°What did you do?¡± Toffee: ¡°You were dragging too much. You definitely have no clue what you are doing.¡± Toffee looks at Alpha who¡¯s standing still on the ground, incapacitated. Toffee: ¡°Pff. What a pity¡­¡± Fula immerges again. Toffee: ¡°So? You¡¯re taking her?¡± Fula: ¡°Hmm no. I don¡¯t feel anything from her anymore. Weird¡­¡± Toffee noodles. Toffee: ¡°Whatever.¡± Toffee walks next to Alpha. Toffee touches him on his limbs. Alpha immediately stands up again. Alpha (confused): ¡°Uh wha what?! Euh? What¡¯s happening?¡± Toffee: ¡°Useless.¡± Alpha: ¡°Toffee¡­why are you here still? And Fula?! Oh Micaela was defeated¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Not thanks to you. You¡¯re lucky I stood there watching over you.¡± Juno: ¡°So you were that presence¡­¡± Toffee (surprised): ¡°Euh?¡± Alpha: ¡°Juno you could feel Toffee¡¯s energy?!¡± Juno: ¡°I guess¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Non-sense. No ArchGod has ever sensed my energy, let alone a Human!¡± Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ I just feel you right in front of me now.¡± Toffee: ¡°¡­ I just don¡¯t get you.¡± Juno: ¡°Uh?¡± Toffee: ¡°You¡¯re fighting sucks. Even with those blessings you still as useless as ever!¡± Juno looks down. Alpha: ¡°Toffee¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°And there I thought that you would finally stop being useless and do something. But no. I had to intervein. Pathetic.¡± Alpha: ¡°You do not have to be so rude Toffee! He is trying to help after -¡­¡± Juno: ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Alpha: ¡°Juno¡­¡± Juno smiles. Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t plan on fighting anyway. Thank you for the blessings though.¡± Toffee: ¡°Hm?¡± Juno stares at Micaela. Juno: ¡°You can do your fighting¡­ I¡¯ll go directly to the main source of the problem.¡± Toffee is confused. Alpha: ¡°What?¡± Fula: ¡°Garaam?¡± Juno: ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone is shocked. Juno: ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him. I¡¯ll make him free you all.¡± Toffee starts laughing. Toffee: ¡°Excuse me! Are you for real now? How idiot!¡± Alpha: ¡°I¡¯m¡­I¡¯m afraid I have to agree with Toffee. That¡¯s a suicide plan Juno.¡± Juno : ¡°Why? He is after you after all¡­ Not me.¡± Alpha: ¡°Hmm..perhaps¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Holy¡­you really are considering this Alpha? You really were always up to the shittiest and retarded ideas. Don¡¯t you get it? We lost. The time to talk is over!¡± Alpha sighs. Alpha: ¡°You¡¯re right¡­ I just keep thinking that a ray of hope would come¡­¡± Fula puts her arm on Alpha¡¯s shoulder. Fula: ¡°We¡¯re all sorry, Alpha.¡± Juno: ¡°Then train me.¡± None replies. Juno: ¡°If the time to talk is over then just train me. I¡¯ll do it your way, Toffee.¡± Toffee: ¡°Now what? You can¡¯t even stand against a God, what do you think you can even do against an ArchGod Human?¡± Juno: ¡°I don¡¯t have to beat him. I just have to make him stop with his plan.¡± Alpha: ¡°That¡¯s a fool argument!¡± Toffee smiles. Toffee: ¡°I¡¯m in.¡± Alpha: ¡°What?!¡± Fula: ¡°Well I¡¯ve never thought I would ever see Toffee training someone¡­¡± Alpha: ¡°You¡­you can¡¯t be serious¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Why not? If he wants it so bad, then I shall grant him his wish.¡± Toffee places her right hand on the ground, the ground starts shaking. Toffee: ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to fight like an ArchGod.¡± A big hole opens up behind Toffee. Toffee: ¡°This is the portal to my lair. Let¡¯s go, Human.¡± As Toffee and Juno walk upon the portal... Alpha: "I hope you don''t come to regret this decision...Juno." End of Chapter 8. Chapter 9: A Ray of Hope Chapter 9: A Ray of Hope [Pocket Dimension] Kado: ¡°Seems like everything is ready.¡± Urango: ¡°Hmm¡­are you sure about it? Vulpina seems to have fallen.¡± Kado: ¡°Naturally. She was never meant to win.¡± Urango: ¡°Oh is that so? Poor God¡­¡± Kado laughs. Kado: ¡°Well let¡¯s finish this¡­ I¡¯m tired of waiting.¡± As Kado and Urango walk between the jails, where the other ArchGods are captured, they hear a strong sound coming from inside the meeting room. A guard comes out at full speed, he was tossed by someone. Kado: ¡°Uh?¡± Arbihime shows up at the door. Arbihime: ¡°So this is what you¡¯ve been planning all along¡­¡± Urango: ¡°Oh just in time.¡± Kado: ¡°Are you perhaps surrendering to us? How kind of you¡­¡± Arbihime smiles. Arbihime: ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve got enough of fooling around.¡± Urango: ¡°speculum obice¡± (=Mirror barrier) An invisible barrier gets between them and Arbihime. Kado: ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Urango smiles. Arbihime rises his hands up. Arbihime: ¡°Sorry for the wait¡­ tempestas aquae¡± (= Water Hurricane) The whole Pocket Dimension gets filled with water. There isn¡¯t a bit of space that isn¡¯t covered by Arbihime¡¯s technique. Kado: ¡°I see¡­ You think that¡¯s enough to beat us?¡± Urango: ¡°Look again Kado.¡± Kado: ¡°Uh?¡± The jails start collapsing, they are breaking thanks to the water¡¯s pressure. Everyone is set free. Kado: ¡°You little¡­.!¡± Arbihime: ¡°I¡¯m not over yet.¡± Arbihime rises the water pressure even more, this time, damaging Urango¡¯s barrier a bit. Kado (shouting): ¡°Urango fast, do something before they all escape again!¡± Urango: ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m as useful as you Kado¡­¡± Arbihime smiles. ¡°Ohhhh look at this. It¡¯s all wet in here. Mind if I clear everything, boss?¡± ¨C says a voice under water The Pocket Dimension starts collapsing into some rifts that appeared around them, but it wasn¡¯t because of Arbihime, it was Jinzo, the voice under water. As Jinzo walks up to Arbihime, the water starts getting sucked by those rifts. The rifts close and banish as there is no more water left. Jinzo: ¡°Such a mess¡­¡± However, the ArchGods are no longer in jail, so they start open portals and leave the pocket dimension. Kado: ¡°No¡­not again¡­.¡± Urango laughs. Urango: ¡°D¨¦j¨¤ vu.¡± Kado: ¡°Hey Jinzo! Be sure you kill that rat ASAP!¡± Jinzo rises his right hand while turning his back to Kado. Jinzo: ¡°Aight I got it boss.¡± [Toffee¡¯s lair] Juno: ¡°It¡¯s too white in here¡­¡± In fact, it seems like Toffee¡¯s lair is empty, the walls, the ground, the roof, everything is wait, it¡¯s hard to keep focus in there. Toffee: ¡°Oh I don¡¯t really care about it. Each lair of us represents our inner self. I suppose I can change it a bit for you.¡± Her lair now seems like the desert they were in. Toffee: ¡°Better?¡± Juno: ¡°Ah that will do it¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Well then, let¡¯s begin!¡± Juno: ¡°What do I really have to do?¡±Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. Toffee: ¡°Let¡¯s see¡­ From what you showed up there It seems like you have the overall typical qualities of us. Strength, speed, endurance¡­ I still can¡¯t feel any energy coming from you. But it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Juno: ¡°So I¡¯m a strong as you¡± Toffee laughs. Toffee: ¡°I said that you have the typical qualities of us. Dunno if you¡¯ve realized it yet, but every single one of us, including our Gods, are blessed with those same attributes you showed. However, your little demonstration right there was¡­pity, to say the least. Would you have fought someone else more serious and you would have ended up losing, now doubts on that. You showed plenty of openings. You attacked mindlessly. Your speed was well controlled but overall you were just too predictable. Again, if your enemy was someone with the intention to kill you, you would¡¯ve lost.¡± Juno: ¡°I see¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°No you don¡¯t. You haven¡¯t listened to anything I¡¯ve said. What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Juno: ¡°Can we just begin this?¡± Toffee: ¡°Hmm¡­you¡¯re right, why am I even give you this information. All you want is to fight Garaam right? No need for those kinds of formalities.¡± Juno: ¡°Will you summon something like Alpha?¡± Toffee: ¡°Hmpf. Do not compare me to the others. I rather do it myself.¡± Toffee puts on a fighting stance. Toffee: ¡°We¡¯ll begin with the one thing that molested me the most about you¡­ Your attacks. Come on now, attack me with all you¡¯ve got, I¡¯ll just block it.¡± And so it happens. Juno throws some basic punches to Toffee, who blocks them effortlessly with just one hand. Each time Juno goes for another punch, Toffee blocks it repeatedly saying, ¡°your punches sucks, your posture sucks¡±, irritating Juno a bit more after each repetition. After a few dozen punches Juno starts getting tired. He asks ¡°Isn¡¯t this enough? We¡¯ve been onto this for quite long time¡­¡±. As Toffee replies: ¡°You will keep it going until you finally get an ok punch.¡± Juno¡¯s punches even though he is getting tired, are starting to get stronger. However, it¡¯s not enough for Toffee. Toffee: ¡°Seems like we will be here the whole day!¡± Juno finally stops after a few more dozen punches, he couldn¡¯t handle it anymore, he was fully tired. But before he could even say something, Toffee throws a punch at him, knocking him down. Toffee: ¡°Did I perhaps tell you to stop?¡± Juno (on the ground): ¡°No¡­¡± Toffee: ¡°Then get up and punch me!¡± Juno: ¡°I can¡¯t¡­I¡¯m exhausted¡­¡± Toffee knocks the ground with her right feet, resulting on Juno to get back up. Toffee goes for another punch at him, which he dodges. Juno smiles, however, Toffee has a serious face. Even though her punch has missed, Juno gets hit by his strength, Toffee¡¯s punch had ripped the air and the impact hit Juno, knocking him down again. Juno (surprised): ¡°What?!¡± Toffee: ¡°Hmpf. You don¡¯t even know how to land a punch, do you really thing you can dodge one? How na?ve¡­¡± Toffee knock the ground again, putting Juno right back up again. Toffee: ¡°So, shall we continue?¡± Meanwhile in the pocket dimension Arbihime is fighting Jinzo. The fight is obviously unfair, for Jinzo simply banishes every single water technique Arbihime uses. Being a God of Water, those are the only techniques Arbihime is allowed to know, thus turning the fight in Jinzo¡¯s favor. Arbihime is clearly getting tired, while Jinzo seems to keep up pretty good. Jinzo: ¡°Oh are we going to stay here the whole day? I don¡¯t know about you, but I could.¡± Arbihime struggles, he is about to reach his limit. Jinzo: ¡°Well¡­it was fun.¡± As Arbihime splits acid water against Jinzo, his attack just passes through him doing no effect. Arbihime is surprised by that, while Jinzo says ¡°you weren¡¯t expecting this were you? My body isn¡¯t physical! Ahah!¡± Being out of energy, Arbihime is completely opened to Jinzo¡¯s attack. But before Jinzo could attack Arbihime, someone appears behind Arbihime. Arbihime (surprised): ¡°Rack?!¡± Kado (shouting): ¡°Oh we forgot about him!¡± Rack: ¡°You did well.¡± Rack puts his hand on Arbihime¡¯s back and they both teleport away. Jinzo (surprised): ¡°Uh?¡± Kado is angry. Urango: ¡°It seems like everyone escaped after all¡­¡± Kado: ¡°Yeah I don¡¯t¡¯ need you to state the obvious¡­¡± Jinzo: ¡°Hmm¡­should I perhaps follow them?¡± Kado: ¡°To the Human Dimension? That¡¯s out of question. That¡¯s a step that only Garaam shall take.¡± Urango: ¡°We should be going now.¡± Kado: ¡°Yes.¡± [Human Dimension] Arbihime: ¡°thanks¡­I was already out of energy there¡­¡± Rack: ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± It seems like every single ArchGod who was trapped in the Pocket Dimension are now in the Human Dimension too. Arbihime: ¡°Are they helping us?¡± Baramelo: ¡°No. I¡¯m afraid the Gods here don¡¯t want to interfere with our subject¡­ We are on our own.¡± Arbihime: ¡°Shit. Don¡¯t they understand that once he is done there he will come here too?¡± Baramelo: ¡°We can¡¯t do nothing¡­¡± Rack: ¡°Is everyone here?¡± Baramelo: ¡°Yes¡­besides Gowan, Alpha, Fula and Toffee...¡± Rack: ¡°Shit. There isn¡¯t much time left to go look for them¡­¡± Arbihime: ¡°There is one last thing to try¡± Rack: ¡°Uh?¡± Baramelo: ¡°The Human? Even with the blessings he won¡¯t¡­¡± Arbihime: ¡°I¡¯m talking about the ArchGods. The Human is just a distraction.¡± Baramelo: ¡°I see¡­¡± Part 2 [Toffee¡¯s lair] Three hours have past since Juno began his training with Toffee. ¡°Aight that should do it.¡± ¨C Says Toffee ¡°Uh?¡± ¨C says Juno while stopping his punch ¡°What do you mean by uh? I¡¯m saying we switch the strategy now.¡± ¨C says Toffee Juno looks at his bloody hands, he had gone for too much effort, far more than his body could handle. ¡°Your punches still suck. But that the less. Next lesson is¡­ Dodge.¡± ¨C says Toffee ¡°Dodge?¡± ¨C asks Juno At that moment Toffee throws a big rock against Juno, who gets hit and knocked away a long distance. Thanks to his blessings though, he doesn¡¯t get hurt. ¡°I told you we were training to dodge now. So dodge.¡± ¨C Says Toffee as she starts throwing more big rocks at him at a high speed At first, Juno gets hit by some of the rocks, but he quickly starts to adapt to their speed and overcomes it, dodging every single one Toffee throws at him. Eventually, she starts increasing the speed of her throws, the result however, doesn¡¯t really change. Juno dodges them. ¡°Ah seems like you¡¯re better at dodging than attacking. Typical¡­¡± ¨C says Toffee Juno smiles while dodging the rocks, he is happy about it. ¡°Very well, now it¡¯s your turn.¡± ¨C says Toffee as she stops throwing rocks ¡°Alright.¡± ¨C says Juno while picking up one of the rocks on the ground Juno throws a rock, but it doesn¡¯t come any near to Toffee. Toffee laughs, she is mocking Juno¡¯s throwing. ¡°What about you take it a little bit more serious hum?¡± ¨C says Toffee Juno tries again. The same result. ¡°You see¡­ Your problem is, even though you have our qualities right now¡­ You still acting like a Human.¡± ¨C says Toffee Juno looks at his hands. ¡°Until you break free of that shell of yours, you won¡¯t be able to match any of us, no matter how much your train or how many blessings we shall give you. The result will always be the same.¡± Toffee throws another rock to Juno, who breaks it with a counter attack using one of his hands. And so the exercise changed. Toffee would just throw more rocks at Juno, and he would destroy them with his velocity and his strong punches. Toffee was teaching Juno how to counter attack and act fast, something that he quickly got the handle of. After training for more 10 hours straight, and multiple exercises, Toffee had come to the conclusion that Juno simply can¡¯t use an offensive. Toffee sighs after stopping the training once more. ¡°Why we¡¯re stopping?¡± ¨C asks Juno confused ¡°It¡¯s pointless.¡±- replies Toffee ¡°You just can¡¯t do it. I give up.¡± ¨C says Toffee while turning her back and opening a portal ¡°W¡ªwait!¡± ¨C says Juno on a hurry But it was too late, Toffee had gone through the portal. Juno follows through it. They are back to the same place where Toffee had opened the portal to her lair. Juno looked around but he so no one. He was left alone there. Suddenly, a portal opens behind him. ¡°What¡­?¡± ¨C says Juno, confused. ¡°You don¡¯t care, do you? After all¡­ this is the only reason why you wanted to train.¡±- says Toffee, but she was nowhere to be seen. ¡°You never wanted to give a damn about it, that was just an excuse to go there. So go ahead, kill yourself.¡± ¨C continues Toffee Juno sighs, his face looks heavy. He walks trough the portal, he knew clearly where it was leading him to. ¡°Perhaps death will teach you a better lesson.¡± ¨C says Toffee to no one. Juno finds himself in front of some huge stairs, leading up to a big mountain with a castle on the top. There was no doubt there he was. He starts walking upon the stairs, until he gets to a big door. The door opens immediately, no one had opened it. He walks through it and continues, walking straight the corridor in front of him. His heard was guiding him, he knew the moment had finally come. Again, he finds himself in front of a door. He knocks at the door but gets no answer. After a while he finally opens it, after a brief breath, he walks in. He finds himself on a big room, with plenty of statues around it, some carpets on the floor leading to a throne, and a man sitting on it. Juno walks up to the man on the throne who looks confused but intrigued at the same time. There was no doubt, Juno had finally been faced to face with Garaam himself. End of Chapter 9: A Ray of Hope Chapter 10: The Encounter Chapter 10: The Encounter [Garaam¡¯s Lair] ¡°Who are you?¡± ¨C says Garaam siting on his throne ¡°My name is Juno¡­ I¡¯m here to ask you to stop it.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°Stop¡­what?¡± ¨C asks Garaam ¡°Everything.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°¡­ Who are you again?¡± ¨C asks Garaam ¡°My name is Juno¡­¡± ¨C says Juno, but he gets interrupted mid-sentence by Garaam who says: ¡°I asked you, who you are?¡± ¡°¡­ I¡¯m a Human.¡± ¨C replies Juno Garaam laughs. ¡°So you are that Human?!¡±- says Garaam Garaam stands up on his throne. ¡°To be fair¡­ I was starting to get tired of Worigama anyway.¡±- says Garaam with a smile on his face. ¡°I don¡¯t know who that is. But¡­¡± ¨C Juno couldn¡¯t finish his sentence. Garaam had summon a big pillar and threw it against Juno, knocking him off the opened door he had left, sending him flying out of Garaam¡¯s castle. Juno finds himself on the ground, not too far of the castle. He tosses the pillar away and gets up. He sighs and walks up to the castle again. The gate was closed again but opened immediately as he walked next to it. He walks again through the huge corridor and finds the throne¡¯s door again. He knocks once more. This time the door opens. Some minions (two to be more precise) opened it for him. Their face looked confused. Garaam was on his throne still, sitting on it. Juno walks up to him again. ¡°You again?¡± ¨C says Garaam quite surprised. ¡°I¡¯m not asking for me¡­ This just isn¡¯t right.¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°And what do you know about the right?¡± ¨C asks Garaam Juno has no answer. ¡°Hey who the heck are you?¡± ¨C says one of the minions Juno looks around, the room was filled with minions now, Gods probably. Juno takes a big breath and says: ¡°You¡¯re killing this world and his people.¡± Everyone looks at Juno with a shocked face. ¡°Who does he think he is?¡± ¨C murmur the Gods around the room. ¡°This world was already destroyed. I¡¯m just cleaning it.¡± ¨C says Garaam with a smile on his face. ¡°I don¡¯t understand how someone can be happy with torturing his kind and destroying his own land.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°Well you¡¯re the intruder, here aren¡¯t you? Humans are actually not that great either. But¡­¡± ¨C Says Garaam as he walks down the stairs and stays right in front of Juno. He continues: ¡°I am not a Human, I am a God. Your kind shall never understand¡­a purpose bigger than life or death.¡± Once his sentence finished, Garaam summons a portal on the room¡¯s roof, whom Juno gets sucked in. Juno got teleported to that very first lake he found when he first fell onto this dimension. The green lake was now blue, just like any other lake on the Human Dimension. It was obvious that this magnificent Dimension had changed and became something other, something that was on the pit of death. No animals were around, neither Gods. They were all captured and locked into jails around the Dimension, under Garaam¡¯s control. With the absence of their ArchGods, who had flee to the Human Dimension, fighting was a pointless delusion. It seems like the only one who wasn¡¯t with Garaam in that Dimension now, was just Juno alone. Juno takes a deep breath, his face was as heavy as never.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. He starts running, running as fast as he can. He walked around this vast dimension at his maximum speed. The in jailed Gods, the death Gods and animals, the corpses, he had seen them all lying on the ground, hopeless. Every ArchGod¡¯s lair destroyed. Nothing left on this Dimension. Would it even matter if Juno could stop Garaam somehow? But Juno had no doubt. For the first time since he came to this Dimension, Juno had a true purpose. Reverting death. Juno arrives to Garaam¡¯s lair again, this time on foot. This time Juno was determinated. He run through the huge stairs, ran through the big gate, through the huge corridor, he enters the throne¡¯s room at a high speed while breaking the door. Once he arrives inside, the gets immediately smashed by a big hammer. ¡°This is what you get for destroying our door!¡± ¨C says a voice And so Juno had failed, again. There was no talk, no fight, nothing. The moment he entered, he had already failed. He couldn¡¯t even see anyone this time. If it wasn¡¯t for his blessings, Juno would¡¯ve died already. He doesn¡¯t know what was going on, there was just black. Just him and his thoughts. Was he actually dead? Or in any type of limbo? Time passed, he could feel it. After much, much time. The dark finally starts to fade. Juno finds himself at the palace¡¯ stairs again. The home start. Juno sits on the ground this time, he had lost the motivation to go and try again. He closes his eyes, with his fists on the ground. ¡°Is this the end? Was he just going to wait there for the inevitable? Perhaps, he could even run away like the others did, get some more time. But time for what? Everything was gone already. Abandon those who stayed, like the ArchGods?¡± Those are all the thoughts that were on Juno¡¯s head. No. Juno had promised Arbihime to fix everything. To bring Clarietta back. To stop Garaam. Juno opens his eyes and gets up. He walks up the stairs, the gate already opened. He walks past the corridor. The throne¡¯s door seems to have been rebuilt. Inside the room there is Garaam sitting in his throne, and a bunch of Gods standing up around the room, waiting for orders. ¡°So the time has come my minions. Everything is about to change. Now we--¡± ¨C says Garaam, who¡¯s interrupted mid-sentence by his door breaking. It was Juno who broke it with a kick. ¡°Now what¡­?¡± ¨C says Garaam, clearly mad. ¡°Noooooo!! No no no no no! Unbeleavable! I had just fixed that damn door!¡± ¨C says one of his minions, really upset. Juno walks through the room, everyone is staring at him with anger and shocked at the same time. ¡°Haven¡¯t you had enough, Human?!¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°This is your only chance. Reverse everything!¡± ¨C says Juno with an angry, demanding tone. ¡°You¡­must be kidding me! A Human?! Giving me orders?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, getting angrier ¡°You have already won. Why not release everyone and do your thing?¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°What about you die for good this time instead?!¡± ¨C says Garaam A God summons a big pillar and tries to smash Juno, whom dodges it without any efforts, shocking that God. ¡°You really don¡¯t get it do you? Stop causing unnecessary harm to everything! There is nothing left to rule!¡± ¨C says Juno while walking next to the throne. Another God interrupts Juno, a big man stands right in front of him, blocking the path. Juno stares at him, his eyes are focused, his face serious. ¡°You got quite the nerves, Human.¡± ¨C says the big God ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to talk in front of Master Garaam!¡± ¨C says the big God while preparing to attack Juno Juno quickly gets behind the God and kicks him on the head with his left feet, knocking him down. He starts walking to the throne again. The Gods are quite shocked with his capability of leading with hose two Gods. Juno continues: ¡°What¡¯s the purpose of ruling everything, if there is nothing left to rule?¡± Juno stops right in front of Garaam who is sitting on his throne. Juno continues: ¡°Throw it away.¡± Everyone is shocked. ¡°I¡¯m sure there are other solutions other than forcing everything to submit to you. You¡¯re a God after all.¡± ¨C says Juno Garaam stands up. ¡°You see¡­that¡¯s there you fucked up.¡± ¨C says Garaam while pointing his indicator finger to Juno. A huge explosion succeeds. The whole castle blew up, there was only the ground left. Every Gods seems to have been hurt by the explosion, some more than others. There was no sign of Juno this time. ¡°Now that the Human was cared of¡­let us continue with the plan.¡± ¨C says Garaam A debris on the ground start moving, Juno shows up coming from underneath it, he had made a hole before the exposition had fully occurred. Thus, Juno had no injuries nor was damaged by it. ¡°Woof. That one was close!¡± ¨C says Juno But before he could get up, Garaam tries to hit him with his fists, but Juno dodges every single one of them. Everyone is shocked again, how could a Human be on pair with an ArchGod? Be it even Garaam himself?! Garaam just gets angrier with very punch he misses. Garaam is getting downgraded in front of his minions, even worst, he was loosing against a Human! Finally, he summons is staff and throws an energy attack at Juno. Juno catches the energy attack from Garaam with his two hands and after some struggle, he redirects the attack to the sky. Garaam has no time to acknowledge Juno¡¯s unnatural actions, he is too enraged for that. All he cares now is to get rid of this annoying Human who shouldn¡¯t even be there to begin with. After trying, time after time, to get rid of Juno, be it with using his physical attacks or energy attacks from his staff, everything seems pointless against Juno, who simply keeps dodging Garaam¡¯s attacks. Finally, Garaam chances his tactic. He realizes that death was too good for the Human. ¡°You know what? Be it!¡± ¨C says Garaam, shouting, while moving his staff that starts glowing green. ¡°Begone Human.¡± ¨C says Garaam while the light coming out of his staff shines everywhere. Juno disappears on spot. Juno finds himself on an empty, white space. There is absolutely nothing there, no sounds, no objects, just nothingness. Back to Garaam. ¡°Now that this little accident has been taken care of¡­ Let us finish this once and for all.¡± The ground starts cracking, as a huge part of it starts floating. The remaining of the castle is used by Garaam as a moving platform. The platform starts moving, flying over the Dimension. Garaam uses his staff to summon back Clarietta. Clarietta is on her human form, lying on the platform¡¯s ground. She slowly starts to get her senses back. ¡°Welcome back, Lamb.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°The fundamental piece of my masterplan can finally act.¡± ¨C continues Garaam ¡°Whe¡ªwhere am I? What¡¯s going on?¡± ¨C says Clarietta, confused She looks around and sees Garaam. ¡°Garaam?!¡± ¨C says Clarietta, shocked and surprised She tries to run away, but she can¡¯t because she is still missing her other half. ¡°Now now¡­ Do not worry, I shall return you to your full once I really need you. Until then, just enjoy the view.¡± - Says Garaam ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¨C asks Clarietta ¡°To the center of this Dimension. So I can remake this whole Dimension all at once! And once I¡¯m finished here¡­ I shall go to the Human Dimension and do the same.¡± ¨C says Garaam with a big smile on his face, contemplating his victory. Back to Juno, time passes by and still nothing. Suddenly, he hears an echoed voice speaking to him: ¡°So, the time for us to meet has finally come.¡± ¡°Who is there? Who are you?¡± ¨C asks Juno, looking around in all directions ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for the day we would meet again.¡± ¨C says the echoed voice A big gate appears in front of Juno. The gates slowly open. There is nothing other than emptiness inside the gate. A white figurine is there. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¨C asks Juno, shocked ¡°I am you.¡± ¨C answers the White figurine ¡°What?!¡± ¨C Says Juno, confused ¡°Well¡­I shall be you. Once you enter this gate.¡± ¨C says the White figurine ¡°¡­ I won¡¯t.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°I¡¯m afraid you have no other choice. This place is known as the void. You were sent here by Garaam, the ArchGod of Void. So it is now my duty to carry you to your fate.¡± ¨C says the White figurine ¡°My fate?¡± ¨C asks Juno ¡°To banish, of course.¡± ¨C Says the White figurine, as Juno starts getting sucked into the gate by some white hands coming from it. Juno tried to run, but it seems like his blessings don¡¯t¡¯ work in the void. He can¡¯t flee from those hands, no matter how much he tries. He finally gets in touch with the White figurine, between the opened gate. ¡°Now, do not worry for once I consume you, everything will stop mattering. You will cease to exist and that¡¯s it. The end.¡± ¨C says the White figurine while Juno starts getting absorbed by him, bit by bit. End of Chapter 10. Chapter 11: The Final step Chapter 11: The Final Step And so, the moment Garaam has been waiting for has finally arrived. Everything was set for it and without the ArchGods to interfere, Garaam can finally end his plan. Garaam smiles has he is about to perform the so awaited change. ¡°Now¡­the moment has come, Clarietta.¡± Gareem rotates his staff, it starts glowing gold, the whole dimension starts shacking, the ground collapsing, the sky starts getting tared a part. ¡°So you¡¯ve finally done it.¡± ¨C says a voice coming from Garaam¡¯s back. Garaam smiles. ¡°So you came after all¡­ Alpha.¡± ¨C says Garaam, turning back to the voice. ¡°At last, you came to witness me success.¡± ¨C continues Garaam ¡°A success... indeed.¡± ¨C replies Alpha ¡°Do not worry, those who I think worthy shall be reborn into the Change.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°You really are going through it¡­¡± ¨C says Alpha with a heavy face. ¡°It is too late to revert things my dear friend. The Change is the only option right now.¡± ¨C says Garaam Alpha sighs. ¡°Very well then¡­¡± ¨C says Alpha, looking disappointing. As Garaam is about to continue with the Change, a bunch of Hands come out of the platform¡¯s ground. Those Hands grab Garaam and carry him further into the sky, restraining each of his limbs. ¡°What?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, confused with what had just happened. But Garaam wasn¡¯t whiling to give up everything now. With just a suing of his staff, he banishes those Hands, setting him free. ¡°So Alpha isn¡¯t the only one who stayed¡­ Fula.¡± ¨C says Garaam while ascending from the sky. Fula shows up in her ghost form, next to Clarietta. ¡°Too bad Guilt is a symptom of the weak wills.¡± ¨C says Garaam smirking ¡°Too bad I don¡¯t only rely on Guilt to fight.¡± ¨C replies Fula while summoning one of his spears. Garaam looks upon them. ¡°You¡¯re only delaying it. Nothing more.¡± ¨C says Garaam has his staff starts shinning green. ¡°The color is green.¡± ¨C murmurs Alpha to Fula ¡°Yeah.¡± ¨C replies Fula Fula strikes into the fight. According to Garaam¡¯s staff color, Green means that if he touches anything with his staff, that thing will cease to exist, no matter what it is. Fortunately for Fula, she is considered the fastest ArchGod, second to Osaria, the ArchGodess of Motion. The battle, however, doesn¡¯t get anywhere, as Fula is too focused on not only attacking Garaam, but also on avoiding the one and only game-ending hit that Garaam has to land to win the battle. As for Garaam, despite Fula¡¯s great speed, it isn¡¯t hard for him to avoid getting hit, as state above that Fula isn¡¯t totally trying to hit him. Eventually, Garaam ends up banishing Fula¡¯ spear at a crucial moment, right when she was about to land a hit on him, leaving her wild-open to his staff. Without the chance of stopping her attack, the Guilt God was about to get in touch with the Void God¡¯ staff. Alpha appears right in time and uses his Aspect Powers. He transforms Fula into a microscopic size being, making Garaam miss the swing. As for Alpha, he quickly grabs Fula and teleports back to the ground, reverting her size again. Garaam smiles as the was one step close to win. ¡°Why don¡¯t you come both now? That way we shall end it faster.¡± ¨C says Garaam, confident that he can take the two of them all at once. But before he could do anything, he gets pierced on his chest by a spear from behind. Garaam looks behind, there was Fula, the one who shoot the spear. ¡°What?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, surprised. It turns out that the one Fula who was fighting Garaam, was actually a clone. Garaam immediately falls of to the ground, on his knees. ¡°That spear of mine makes you heavier than anything that creation can ever allow to exist.¡± ¨C says Fula ¡°Again. You¡¯re just delaying the inevitable.¡± ¨C says Garaam with an angry tone, as the spear starts banishing. But before it completely banishes, Gowan appears right in front of Garaam, and breaks the spear.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. Garaam backs off. ¡°So what you broke it?¡± ¨C says Garaam But something is wrong. The heavy feel from the spear is still there, even though the spear was clearly broken by Gowan. ¡°Now!¡± ¨C shouts Alpha Fula hurries to rescue Clarietta on the top of the platform. But right before she gets to Clarietta, a huge amount of energy gets across them two. The floating platform was teared in half. Garaam¡¯ staff was shining blue, he had banished a part of it, separating Fula from Clarietta at the time. The energy formed a barrier around Clarietta. Anything that would touch it, would instantly banish. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¨C says Alpha, as their plan had failed. ¡°So you broke the spear so I couldn¡¯t banish it¡­ Leaving a part of it inside of me.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°But what if I can¡¯t fly? I¡¯ll take you three on the ground!¡± ¨C says Garaam while his staff starts shining blue Blue color meant that every swing he does would release Void energy, resulting in banishing anything it comes in contact with. And so, their fight began. Fula would try to hit Garaam with her great speed, while Alpha would save her from getting hit by Garaam¡¯s energy, while Gowan would think of something to set Clarietta free. [Back to Juno in the Void] ¡°There is nothing to be afraid of. After all, nothing matters, right?¡± ¨C says the White figurine while absorbing Juno Juno had already stopped. He knew it was pointless to keep on trying to set himself free, it just wouldn¡¯t happen. He couldn¡¯t outclass a Godly being, be it the Void itself. He had accepted his fate. To cease to exist. The thing he was the most afraid of. Not death itself, no. But what should come after it, nothingness. No thoughts anymore, no senses, no dreams, no conscious, just nothing left. Empty, is how Juno felt death was. And at last, his very fear had finally come. ¡°Shit.¡± ¨C says Juno to himself while getting absorbed, without the capability of changing his fate. As the last bit of him get absorbed, Juno starts remembering his adventure. Not his Human life in the Human Dimension, but instead, his after-life, in the ArchGod Dimension. He remembered his fall. His first encounter with Arbihime and Clarietta at the green lake. His encounter with Gowan. The beings he had met in this once glorious Dimension. And then, he starts remembering that this magnificent Dimension had completely changed. The prettiness had become ugly and dying. Everyone he had met has lost hope and had gave up. That despite everything, Juno, he would never accomplish his promise to the Gods. To free them. Juno cries as he is getting absorbed, even though he knew that was pointless, he was still a Human after all. ¡°You and I will be ¨C¡°- says the White Figurine, but he stops mid-sentence. Something was wrong. Something that shouldn¡¯t even be possible to begin with. ¡°Wh¡­what are you doing?!¡± ¨C says the White Figurine, agitated It turns out that instead of Juno being absorbed by the White Figurine, the White Figurine starts to get absorbed by Juno, who starts to show up again, slowly. ¡°Why¡­how can you do this? It is my job to carry you over!¡± ¨C shouts the White Figurine angry ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I still can¡¯t go.¡± ¨C murmurs Juno ¡°What?!¡± ¨C shouts the White Figurine, in fear ¡°Everyone is counting on me¡­ I have no right to leave them behind.¡± ¨C replies Juno, as the White Figurine is half gone. ¡°You¡­. You¡¯re a Human! How can you defy me?! You are me! You-¡­.!¡± ¨C says the White Figurine, in panic. A big flash of light comes out of the Gate. The whole place becomes full of emptiness again. [Back to the middle of the ArchGod Dimension] Despite their efforts, Fula had already lost her right arm to Garaam¡¯s staff. There is a clear difference between those ArchGods, for Garaam had been preparing for this exact moment over the centuries, while the others hadn¡¯t. Fula was getting out of energy, and so was Alpha. Garaam on the other hand, had plenty of it left. His staff color had changed, from blue to red. Red meant that Garaam wasn¡¯t physical anymore. He had made himself into a spiritual being, something that simply can¡¯t be touched neither hurt. Thus, rending Fula completely useless. As for Gowan, he had tried many spells to break Garaam¡¯s barrier, but none had worked, not a single bit of his energy had disappeared. The moment had finally come, Fula and Alpha had run out of energy. Garaam laughs as he gets to Gowan, completely ignoring the other two ArchGods, who, without energy left, are meaningless threats to Garaam. ¡°Pretty isn¡¯t it? I shall cover this whole Dimension with it. And then, I shall remake it.¡± ¨C says Garaam, enthusiastic Gowan sighs. ¡°You know I can¡¯t fight you¡­¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°That is why you still exist.¡± ¨C replies Garaam Gowan looks to the other ArchGods, then to Clarietta. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°Well now¡­there is no need to be sorry. Hyperium is the one to blame.¡± ¨C assures Garaam Garaam passes through his energy barrier. ¡°Now¡­ Let¡¯s make creation a better place, shall we?¡± ¨C says Garaam, sounding victorious. He swings his staff, reverting Clarietta to her original state, her full body is back. ¡°Now¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam as he gives his hand to Clarietta. ¡°Let¡¯s make the Change.¡± ¨C continues Garaam A huge amount of fire comes in every direction, destroying the whole ground around them. ¡°First, you will have to defeat me, Garaam!¡± ¨C shouts Harkiles, the ArchGod of Ember, who appears right behind Garaam Garaam¡¯s energy barrier was destroyed by Harkiles¡¯ burning energy. Garaam turns back with a smiley face. ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t turn your back to this Dimension.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°You always were the kind of sensitive God.¡± ¨C continues Garaam ¡°Godo-Modo¡± ¨C shouts Harkiles Harkiles whole body becomes infused with Flames. Only his presence was already enough to turn anything to complete ashes. Alpha had used his last remaining power to teleport him and Fula away. As for Gowan, he had made a seventh barrier spell around him, who would protect him for a while. The same goes for Clarietta, now that she had her full body back. Garaam did nothing, despite the burning flames that burn everything around him, his pride and certitude on his victory makes him feel no pain from them. ¡°Vulcanus obliterationem¡± (= Volcano Obliteration) ¨C says Harkiles The whole Dimension starts erupting, Harkiles was whiling to destroy everything and everyone left, to defeat Garaam once and for all! Garaam smiles with his eyes closed as the burning flames start turning his clothes to ashes. Garaam opens his eyes and points his indicator finger to the sky. ¡°Orbis terrarum fugatrix¡± (= World Banisher) ¨C says Garaam with a soft voice From a moment to another the flames are gone. Completely gone, one could say that there was never even a fire going around. Harkiles is speechless, for even his flames had banish. He was now powerless. Not out of energy, just out of flames, his power. Garaam¡¯ staff color went back to normal, for it takes him part of his energy to maintain each color active. He was back to his normal form. Just like the others, Harkiles was not a pointless threat to Garaam. ¡°Please. You can still stop this.¡± ¨C says Gowan, begging Garaam looks at Gowan, who continues: ¡°It¡¯s not too late to revert things! You have the power, you can still fix things!¡± But all Garaam sees, is Juno instead of Gowan. Garaam smiles. He walks right in front of Gowan and kicks him out of the floating platform breaking his barrier. As Gowan falls down to the burned ground, Garaam says: ¡°Seems like you¡¯ve been passing far too much time with that Human¡­ A noticeable mistake to relate our ideals with such inferior beings.¡± With every ArchGod left defeated, the moment has finally arrived. Garaam grabs Clarietta and takes her to the edge of the floating platform. ¡°Garaam¡­¡± ¨C says Gowan, on his knees on the ground, looking above. Garaam looks down, contemplating the destroyed Dimension. ¡°The final moment has come, Gowan. Despite your efforts to stop me Everything is about to change. This Dimension is hopeless, just like reality itself. Everything thanks to our Reality Gods.¡± ¨C says Garaam, rising his hands to the sky Everyone closes their eyes, accepting their fate. Except Gowan, who looks at his old friend, who¡¯s about to change everything. Garaam¡¯ staff starts glowing white, his light spread across all directions in the whole Dimension. ¡°Begone.¡± ¨C says Garaam, as a farewell to this old Dimension. Suddenly, something punches him on is jaw, breaking it, shattering it into pieces, sending them floating on air, knocking Garaam a bit up along with the impact. ¡°Wh¡ªwha-att..?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, almost unrecognizably Gowan is shocked, he can¡¯t believe his eyes. ¡°It seems like Human beings aren¡¯t that much inferior to the Gods afterall.¡± ¨C says Juno, who had punch Garaam on the jaw, thus, stopping the Change. ¡°Ju--Juno?!¡± ¨C shouts Gowan, surprised End of Chapter 11. Chapter 12: I am so, so sorry. Chapter 12: I am so, so sorry. And so, right in the moment of Garaam¡¯s victory, Juno appears, interrupting him just at the right time. Reality starts cracking around Garaam¡¯s jaw smithereens on the air. ¡°Juno get out!¡± ¨C Shouts Gowan Juno immediately retreats, backing off a long distance from Garaam. After a slight flash of light, Garaam reappears, fully healed. Garaam touches his jaw with an angry face, staring at Juno. ¡°Just how persistent can you be¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°I¡­shall help..you in just a b-¡­¡± says Gowan, who gets interrupted by Juno: ¡°There is no need to interfere.¡± Gowan stops, looking at Juno¡¯s eyes. Those were the eyes of someone strong, someone who knew what he was doing. ¡°This is between him and me.¡± ¨C says Juno as he slowly walks back to Garaam And so, without a second thought, Garaam rushes to fight Juno, despite him being almost out of energy from fighting Garaam, Fula, Alpha and Harkiles. The battle had finally begun. Even though Juno was facing an ArchGod, who had no remorse on killing him, the fact that Garaam is fatigued was making the fight more evenly matched. By both using just the normal ArchGod¡¯s qualities, Juno had no problem on keeping up with Garaam¡¯s moves. Be it strength, speed, endurance, Juno¡¯s training with Toffee, even though it was stopped a long way from the end, the result of that training could be seen here. As Juno not only could dodge Garaam¡¯s physical attacks, but also, he could counter attack Garaam with his fists. Although, the fight was clearly one sided. For Juno had just trained for a little while with an ArchGod, Garaam on the other hand, had been preparing himself for this very moment. Besides every effort from Juno to keep countering Garaam¡¯s fists, he was clearly getting tired himself. It wasn¡¯t a surprised to him that Toffee was just not taking him seriously during their training, but this time, Juno was facing the real power of an ArchGod. Eventually the moment had come. Juno¡¯s fists, even though he still kept on with Garaam¡¯ speed they were powerless. Garaam smiles has it happens, for he notices that Juno had reached his limit. ¡°It seems like the playground is over after all¡­ Human!¡± ¨C says Garaam has he uses his great strength to throw Juno back From that moment on the fight had completely changed. Garaam was even more violent towards Juno. Luckily for him, he could still dodge some of Garaam¡¯s attacks, but not all of them, as Garaam lands a kick on Juno, throwing him against a mountain, breaking it immediately to pieces with the impact. Juno gets slightly injured, a sign, that his endurance was also at his limit. As he slowly gets up, Garaam walks towards him. ¡°You should never have returned here.¡± ¨C says Garaam has he summons his staff He stops right in front of Juno, smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t care how you escaped my power. But coming back was definitely your last mistake.¡± ¨C says Garaam while pointing his staff to Juno. A ball filled with void energy starts forming at the staff¡¯s edge. ¡°This time¡­ I¡¯ll not make a mistake myself.¡± ¨C says Garaam as the energy ball grows ¡°Juno¡­!¡± ¨C shouts Gowan ¡°Godo-Dama¡± ¨C says Garaam But just as Garaam is about to throw his attack to Juno he gets hit by a energy attack from behind. Garaam turns back, for the one who had just hit him was Clarietta. ¡°Oh¡­I almost forgot about you.¡± ¨C says Garaam with a calm voice Now with her full body back, Clarietta¡¯s powers had returned. ¡°Another mistake¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam, as his face becomes heavy and filled with anger He banishes and reappears right in front of Clarietta. Clarietta is shocked, but before she can do anything, he throws the Godo-Dama at her. But right when the ball is about to connect with her, Juno shows up on the way. He tries to hold the Godo-Dama with his own hands. ¡°Ahaha this is amazing! Two birds with one stone!¡± ¨C says Garaam while laughing Juno¡¯s hands start to tare apart, the power is to much for him to handle. ¡°Let it go!¡± ¨C says Clarietta ¡°¡­!¡± ¨C Juno struggles ¡°Just leave me and escape! You still have the power to flee this dimension!¡± ¨C says Clarietta, begging Juno to leave her behind ¡°I¡­ I can¡¯t. I promised that I would free you all!¡± ¨C says Juno, struggling still. Clarietta didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°ahhhhhhhhhhh¡± ¨C shouts Juno as the floating platform starts cracking Clarietta puts her right hand on Juno¡¯s back. ¡°Euh?¡± ¨C Juno looks at Clarietta, confused. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¨C says Clarietta with a calm voice. Her hand starts shinning white. ¡°Juno¡­ I shall give you¡­ The power to free us.¡± ¨C says Clarietta as Juno¡¯s back starts shinning white. ¡°What?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, confused by the flash of light coming from Juno. From the flash, the Godo-Dama gets reflected to the sky, exploding, clearing it from his black tone, turning it back to his original green state. The light goes off. The floating platform is still there, almost fully destroyed. ¡°Now now¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam, as he sees Juno and Clarietta survived his attack. ¡°What do you two think you¡¯re doing...?!¡± ¡°Clarietta¡­ Go somewhere else safe.¡± - says Juno with a serious face. Clarietta flies out of the floating platform, joining the fallen ArchGods on the ground. ¡°Hell I shall allow it!¡± ¨C says Garaam as he prepares another Godo-Dama to throw at them. Juno quickly appears right in front of him, grabbing his staff with his right hand. But before Garaam could react to it, Juno punches him with his left fist on his face dealing no damage. ¡°You¡¯re starting to get on my nerves Human.¡± ¨C says Garaam, as he grabs Juno¡¯s left hand and knocks him away. ¡°Enough of those bullshit!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam. He shoots the Godo-Dama to Juno, who for his surprise kicks it away. Juno quickly dashes to Garaam and tries to kick him on the face, which he success, however, he still deals no damage to him. Garaam falls a little back while grabbing his leg and throwing him away, for Juno responds by punching him back with his left fist, again, dealing no damage. And so, the fight takes place again, but this time, Juno is actually trying to damage Garaam. The situation had reverted, Juno was the one fighting offensively and violently now. Thus, leaving Garaam with no other choice to avoid his attacks and try to counter back, which he couldn¡¯t thanks to Juno¡¯ speed being higher than his right now. It was clear that even Garaam was getting far too tired to use even the smallest of energy required to use an ArchGod¡¯s normal qualities. ¡°What did you do up there?¡± ¨C asks Gowan to Clarietta ¡°I gave him my powers.¡± ¨C replies Clarietta ¡°Your¡­powers?!¡± ¨C says Gowan, shocked. Clarietta smiles while looking at Juno¡¯s fight with Garaam. ¡°This Human came to save us. So, I saved him.¡± ¨C continues Clarietta ¡°¡­ Juno¡­¡± ¨C Gowan, thinking to himself while watching Juno. Juno lands another kick on Garaam, but this time, Garaam actually moves a bit back. ¡°Getting tired already?¡± ¨C says Juno while smiling. ¡°Don¡¯t think you can compete with me Human..an ArchGod!¡± ¨C says Garaam as he unleashes an immense energy from his body, sending Juno back. ¡°Damn it! He still has far much energy left for Juno to handle it!¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°Not just that¡­Juno¡¯s attacks don¡¯t¡¯ do nothing to him either!¡± ¨C says Alpha ¡°How much more time do you need to recover your energy?¡± ¨C asks Clarietta ¡°We¡¯re still to far gone¡­that damn Garaam is really hard to be dealt with, even by us 4 at once.¡± ¨C replies Fula, carrying Harkiles body on her shoulders. ¡°It¡¯s¡­everything on Juno¡­¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°You heard that? You¡¯re alone. You and me, one versus one!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam to Juno. ¡°I know.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°I wasn¡¯t counting on them anyway.¡± ¡°Uh?¡± ¨C says Garaam confused Juno dashes forward against Garaam, who counters him, fist to fist. But something had changed. Their fists were equally strong. No. Juno¡¯s were stronger. For Garaam, and everyone¡¯ surprise, Juno knocks Garaam away with a second punch, throwing him further to the sky. Garaam tries to recover his posture, but before he can stop it, Juno quickly catches up with him and kicks him, throwing him even further. The winning side has changed, Juno was winning. For all Garaam could do was trying to get himself together again in order to react to Juno¡¯s attacks, something that Juno could not let happen, so he kept the pressure going. As Garaam takes every single blow from Juno, he starts to get injured by him, his endurance too was starting to cease. ¡°How¡­. how are you so strong?!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam as he finally blocks on of Juno¡¯s attacks. ¡°I didn¡¯t¡¯ became stronger. You became weak.¡± ¨C says Juno Garaam was destroyed, for the first time on his existent he had felt that he couldn¡¯t come with the upper hand anymore. Plus, to make it worst, he was on the edge of being defeated by a Human. Garaam uses his staff to teleport him away, back to the floating platform. ¡°So, you¡¯re ready to stop this madness?¡± ¨C asks Juno, ironically Garaam is clearly enraged. ¡°Fine.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°You won. You want me to revert this shit dimension back to her normal state? Than¡­¡± ¨C continues Garaam Again, Garaam frees a huge amount of energy from his body. ¡°no¡­not that! You can¡¯t do that!¡± ¨C shouts Gowan, terrified. ¡°Observe¡­Human. For this is what you call a Godly-strength.¡± ¨C says Garaam as he becomes stronger and stronger to Juno¡¯s eyes. ¡°I can feel his energy rising¡­¡± ¨C Juno (thinking to himself) Garaam stopped, smiling to Juno. ¡°This shall be enough. Anymore further and I won¡¯t have enough energy left to complete the Change.¡± ¨C says Garaam Garaam quickly moves towards Juno, leaving a shockwave behind, completely turning the floating platform to pieces. The fight continued, for this time no one had the upper hand, Juno would land a few attacks on Garaam while dodging some, and vice-versa. The floating platform pieces falling down was their battle stage, they were both too tired to keep flying around like they used to, instead, they were using the falling pieces as a way to fight. Eventually, Garaam got the upper hand after juking Juno and throws him with a heavy punch against the ground. As Garaam gets to the ground, Juno grabs him from behind. Garaam tries to get himself free but Juno just won¡¯t let him. He summons his staff, who Juno immediately kicks it away and immediately knocks Garaam against the ground, resulting on him having his head inside the ground. Juno runs quickly and grabs his staff.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Garaam sets his head free from the ground. He is surprised by seeing Juno with his Staff on his hands. But after a brief moment, he smiles. ¡°You know you need energy to use one of our artifacts, right? Human. How more pathetic can you get?¡± ¨C says Garaam smirking But Juno ignores his words, he points the Staff to Garaam. ¡°It is over.¡± ¨C Says Juno with a serious face He expected something to happen, which turned out it didn¡¯t. ¡°Ahah! See? Pathetic!¡± ¨C says Garaam, screaming of joy ¡°Tch..¡± ¨C says Juno with a pathetic face ¡°Now now¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam has he gets up. ¡°Let me show you how it works.¡± ¨C Garaam summons his staff from Juno¡¯s hands back to his. ¡°To think that a Human could ever even compete with my power¡­ How pity¡­¡± ¨C he continues That was the first moment that Garaam actually looked at Juno from back to up. He notices Juno is wearing some quite interesting items. ¡°Oh..oh my. Is that it? Ohohohohoh!¡± ¨C says Garaam with an enthusiastic voice ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± ¨C he continues He looks back to Alpha. ¡°Is this really what I think it is?! You must be kidding me¡­¡± ¨C he continues ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± ¨C asks Juno, confused ¡°So, this is how you could keep up with me... Well then...¡± ¨C says Garaam as he unleashes a big amount of void energy from his staff and throws it at Juno, who cannot react in time to it. ¡°I am sorry, Human.¡± ¨C continues Garaam Juno gets on his knees, Garaam¡¯s attack did not hurt him, but instead, it striped him from his items Every single one of them got destroyed, banished. His blessings were all gone. Juno was now¡­ ¡°Powerless.¡± ¨C says Garaam, smiling, contemplating his near victory. ¡°No! It can¡¯t be!¡± ¨C Alpha is shocked with what just happened ¡°Juno¡­no!¡± ¨C the same with Gowan Harkiles slowly opens his eyes. ¡°We¡­we must do something¡­he is just a Human now¡­¡± ¨C Says Harkiles, slowly, still recovering. Fula closes her eyes saying, ¡°I¡¯m afraid there is nothing left to be done¡­¡±. ¡°I must admit though, you almost succeeded. But you see¡­ like I said¡­ This is the difference between you and me. Human.¡± ¨C says Garaam, while pointing his Staff to Juno. His Staff starts shinning white. ¡°Vacuum¡± (= Emptyness) ¨C says Garaam as void energy comes from his Staff in the direction of Juno. Everything was over. There was nothing left, no hope left. Juno was powerless, a Human, and Garaam was still an ArchGod. However, when everything seemed lost, a huge amount of void energy, similar to Vacuum from Garaam, came from the sky, fully hitting Garaam. Both Garaam¡¯s attack and the sky energy stopped at that moment. Garaam, being the ArchGod of Void, has natural resistance to Void techniques, however, he still clearly felt the energy of that one attack. For everyone surprise, Juno was still there, intact, on his knees, staring at Garaam with a serious face. Right in the middle of them, a huge rotating circle was there, floating, dividing Juno from Garaam. The circle started moving towards Juno, reducing in size, until he finally arrived close to Juno. Juno raised his left hand, he got his left arm through the floating circle, who adapted to his arm and started orbiting around it. ¡°What did¡­just happen?!¡± ¨C asks Garaam, confused. Everyone else is mouth open as Juno gets up, and another of those floating rotating circles comes from the sky, and like the other one, it adapts to his right arm. ¡°What is that?!¡± ¨C asks Alpha confused ¡°I don¡¯t¡¯ know! I¡¯ve never seen Juno doing that?!¡± ¨C replies Gowan ¡°Seems like we got our Hero right there.¡± ¨C says Clarietta, confident ¡°I¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam, barely able to talk. ¡°I¡­ I¡­can¡¯t¡­¡± ¨C he continues ¡°It is over, Garaam.¡± ¨C says Juno, interrupting Garaam. ¡°Over¡­¡± ¨C repeats Garaam ¡°As¡­ As everything should be.¡± ¨C continues Garaam The ground around him starts cracking. His energy was rising, again. But something was different this time. There was a strange feeling in the air. ¡°No¡­! It can¡¯t be!¡± ¨C says Gowan as he gets on his knees, panicking. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me¡­that he still has enough energy for that!¡± ¨C says Alpha mouth opened. ¡°Impossible¡­¡± ¨C says Clarietta, petrified. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¨C asks Juno to them. ¡°You must get out of there! Right now!¡± ¨C shouts Gowan. A huge flash of white light comes out of Garaam, flashing the whole Dimension. Juno got out just in time, he is now next to the other ArchGods. The light slowly fades away, and with a soft voice, Garaam says: ¡°Godo-Modo¡±. ¡°What¡­?¡± ¨C Juno is confused. ¡°This is¡­the strongest form of an ArchGod. In this state¡­Garaam is now¡­ The void himself.¡± ¨C says Gowan, trembling as Gowan¡¯s true form appears from the light. ¡°Human. Do not fear me. Come closer and we shall finally end this, once and for all.¡±- says Garaam with a godly voice. ¡°Don¡¯t g-¡­¡± ¨C says Gowan but gets interrupted by Juno walking back to the battle field. Juno stops at a long distance away from Garaam, as he notices that there is no ground around him anymore. ¡°I understand it all now.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°You can open portals. That is how you got here to begin with.¡± ¨C he continues ¡°You reflected my own attack against myself. Tell me your name again, Human?¡± ¨C he continues ¡°Juno.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°Consider yourself a lucky being, Juno, for you¡¯re now in the presence of the power of a true God.¡± ¨C says Garaam rising his hands to the sky. ¡°Let this be our final battle.¡± ¨C he continues ¡°¡­ Yes.¡± ¨C says Juno Garaam starts slowly walking towards Juno. His energy is incredible, his void aura is around him, anything that touches it ceases immediately. As he moves, the ground ceases, there is no doubt that the moment Juno gets in touch with it he too shall cease. Juno sends his portals to Garaam, but they get immediately banished by his aura. ¡°Your portals won¡¯t help you now that you can¡¯t touch me.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°There is nothing you can do now, Juno. The time to win is long over.¡± ¨C he continues Juno summons more of those portals around his arm and fires them to various locations. ¡°What¡¯s the point of using it if you can¡¯t do anything with it?¡± ¨C asks Garaam For his surprise, from one of the portals comes a Godo-Dama, the very one Garaam had used a moment ago. But of course, it gets banished the moment it comes in contact with Garaam¡¯s aura. ¡°I see. So, you can not only use them as portal between a point to another, but you can also teleport techniques that you¡¯ve seen. Interesting.¡± ¨C says Gowan as Juno walks through one of his portals to maintain distance from him. ¡°But.¡± ¨C says Garaam ¡°You¡¯re plan has a great failure. For we, ArchGods, have limitless power in our Godo-Modo. For this is our True Form. So, you can stall all you want. It won¡¯t make any difference.¡± ¨C says Garaam as he starts moving faster and faster, trying to get Juno in touch with his aura. Luckily for Juno, Garaam can¡¯t walk through any of his portals without banishing them, those allowing Juno to mindlessly opening up portals in order to escape him. Juno flees as Garaam follows him around the ArchGod Dimension, banishing everything on his path. His observation is correct, Garaam has unlimited power in that form. But Juno smiles despite everything. Eventually Garaam got bored of all this stall and just immerges right in front of Juno, who quickly flies to the sky and opens another portal that immediately teleports him back to where the other ArchGods were. ¡°Do you have any plan to defeat him?¡± ¨C asks Juno ¡°I¡¯m afraid there is no plan. It was never supposed for Garaam to enter Godo-Modo¡­¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°Shit.¡± ¨C says Juno, as Garaam reappears back to the battle field. ¡°Are you done? I still have a whole reality to remake.¡± ¨C says Garaam as he increases the range of his void aura. ¡°How do you feel?¡± ¨C asks Juno ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¨C asks Garaam ¡°I¡¯ve been wondering how do you feel¡­ Knowing that a Human has surpassed you.¡± ¨C says Juno, smiling. ¡°Juno..¡± ¨C says Gowan Juno slowly walks back to the battle field, as Garaam replies: ¡°Hmpf. What¡¯s a defeat on a battle when you¡¯re about to win a war?¡± ¡°So, you think you won?¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°Thinking? Oh my dear¡­this is already over the moment I showed you my true form.¡± ¨C replies Garaam as he dashes towards Juno. Juno smiles and opens a portal between them. Form that portal comes Harkiles flames. The flames cover the whole area around Garaam¡¯s aura. ¡°You think those flames can hold me?¡± ¨C says Garaam as he steps on them, ceasing them. ¡°Those flames are meaningless to me.¡± ¨C he continues A bunch of portals appear, surrounding Garaam outside of his aura¡¯s range. Each of those portals shoot vacuum from it. Despite the powerful attack, it is also meaningless to Garaam. In fact, everything is meaningless to Garaam, nothing can injure him, he seems unstoppable. Garaam sighs, as he banishes every single portal with a snap of his fingers. Juno is there, standing still, right on the edge of Garaam¡¯a aura. ¡°Are you perhaps, teasing me?¡± ¨C asks Garaam with a soft voice ¡°Pherhaps.¡± ¨C replies Juno ¡°I admire your efforts¡­ But you just have to accept the fact that you are nothing to a God. Your interference with my plans changes nothing. The end result, is still the same.¡± ¨C says Garaam Juno smiles and replies: ¡°So how do you explain that I¡¯m still here? You sure talk a lot about being a God¡­I can tell you¡¯re happy for your status. But when it comes to what really matters, you¡¯re nothing more than a tyrant.¡± Juno slaps his hands, summoning a big portal. ¡°In the end, you¡¯re just like a Human.¡± Says Juno as he places the portal around Garaam¡¯s aura. ¡°Big words for a¡­ Whatever.¡± Says Garaam ¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± ¨C he continues The portals start cracking as it approaches the aura. Juno summons plenty of other portals and does the same, over and over again creating a pile of portals covering Garaams aura. ¡°Interesting. Are you perhaps, trying to teleport me away?¡± ¨C asks Garaam ¡°Not really.¡± ¨C answers Juno Suddenly, one of Garaam¡¯s arms fades away. ¡°What?!¡± ¨C says Garaam Juno smiles, for he had teleported Garaam¡¯s left arm away. ¡°I actually intend to do the opposite.¡± ¨C says Juno as the portals start rotating even faster ¡°You little¡­ I shall show you the power of a God!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam as the portals crack even more, until they completely break and cease. Garaam concentrates his void aura inside of his body. Garaam shouts: ¡°I need something to fill this void, So I will beg for your figure And I will take to try and fill this empty insatiable inquietude But still I am still greeted with empty hands and dejection!¡± (Poem by: Kellin, Jun 27, ¡°Unsatisfied Desire) Begone Human! A huge white square appears just in front of Juno. Juno quickly starts running away, as many others huge white squares start appearing, trying to cache him inside of them. Juno runs, faster than never, but the squares too are becoming faster, each square is faster than the last. Juno notices, however, that Garaam seems to have the need to stay still in order to continue this spell. That¡¯s it, now it¡¯s his chance. Juno turns back while touching one of those squares with his foots. Using it as a solid platform, he uses it for boosting his speed, and so, he quickly dashes towards Garaam¡¯s direction, with the squares getting closer and closer. But before he gets close to Garaam, he gets circled by the squares, with no other way to escape them, he flies up to the sky. The same result, as the squares are slowly reaching to him. Finally, reaching the very own sky of that Dimension, with no other way to go, Juno uses the sky¡¯s limit to boost him, he quickly moves between all the forming squares towards Garaam. For the first time on his life, Garaam showed fear on his eyes. He was unarmed. He couldn¡¯t move until the spell successfully hit Juno. The moment had arrived. Juno was about to reach Garaam, he was about to punch him with all his strength, to end this once and for all! But¡­ Right before his fist connected with the defenseless Garaam, the squares caught up with Juno and so, he finally got trapped inside of one. A huge flash of light occurs, the squares stopped appearing, they fused into one single big one covering a vast amount of the ArchGod Dimension, forming a big cross that touched both the ground and the sky. Garaam stood immobile. After a brief moment, he finally showed a reaction. He started smiling, slowly. ¡°Ah..ahah..ahahahahah! Ahahahahahahahah! I won! I fucking won!¡± ¨C Garaam screams of joy He had just one the war. He had defeated the Human. ¡°May I, perhaps, know what¡¯s so funny about it?¡± ¨C says a familiar voice from far away. Garaam stopped laughing. He was shocked. He just couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Sorry. I think I missed the joke.¡± There was no mistake. Juno had survived his spell. Garaam looked upon the big cross, right to the top. Juno was there. Juno was smiling to the petrified ArchGod. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is that all you¡¯ve got? Mister God?¡± ¨C says Juno ironically, as the cross starts slowly cracking on the edge, from the top to the bottom. Juno appears as the crack reached the bottom, right in front of Garaam, who moves back, terrorized. Juno slowly walks towards him. ¡°Am I¡­ perhaps treating you? Garaam?¡± ¨C says Juno, smirking ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t be ridiculous!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam as the aura reappears around him. Garaam quickly dashes towards Juno, who starts fleeing on the opposite direction. ¡°You talk too big now but all you know is to flee!¡± ¨C shouts Garaam ¡°Yeah¡­Hehe I¡¯ve been told that before.¡± ¨C says Juno with a smile Juno starts opening portals again, but he doesn¡¯t go inside of them. He keeps fleeing past them instead. Garaam is getting closer and closer. Eventually, Juno reached the edge of this big Dimension. There is nothing past there, just a black space. Juno jumps into it, Garaam follows the jump. For his surprise, Garaam goes through a big portal that Juno had opened when he fell into the black. A familiar place, for Juno at least. ¡°What¡­ Wait. Did you just¡­?¡± ¨C says Garaam, confused. ¡°Welcome home.¡± ¨C says Juno with a smile. It was indeed Garaam¡¯s home. The void himself. The very place where he had sent Juno to cease. ¡°Oh my¡­ You really are pathetic! Ahah! You do realize that this is literally my element?!¡± ¨C says Garaam, euphoric Juno just keeps smiling. ¡°Well it was fun. But just like everything¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam as he rotates his staff ¡°Begone, Human.¡± ¨C he continues as he points his staff at Juno. But nothing happens. ¡°Uh?¡± ¨C says Garaam, confused. ¡°Yeah¡­no. It seems like ArchGod¡¯s alike powers do not work on here. Too bad right?¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°What do you mean?! I¡¯m powerless? I-¡­¡± ¨C Garaam stops talking for a moment, he lowers his arms, his staff falls to the ground, then he continues: ¡°You¡­you tricked me. You actually tricked me into coming here.¡± ¡°Yep.¡± ¨C says Juno as a big black gate appears behind Garaam. ¡°I¡­I¡¯m sorry. So sorry. But you gave me no other option.¡± ¨C Juno continues ¡°Well well, I wasn¡¯t expecting our first encounter to be like this. Oh well. It¡¯s nice to finally meet you, Garaam.¡± ¨C says a white figurine that shows between the gate¡¯s doors, opening slowly. ¡°I¡­was defeated by a Human¡­¡± ¨C says Garaam Juno has a heavy face, his eyes are tired. ¡°I am so, so sorry, Garaam.¡± ¨C murmurs Juno as he leaves through his portal, leaving Garaam to be devourer by his inner self, the Void himself. Juno immerges from the portal, back to the battle field. The portal closes. ¡°Where¡­where is Garaam?¡± ¨C asks Gowan Juno was looking to the ground. ¡°I¡­¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Juno?¡± ¨C says Alpha ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¨C says Juno looking back at the ArchGods. They did not understand the meaning of his apologize. ¡°It is..¡± ¨C Says Clarietta, but she stops talking as an incredibly strong, underwhelming amount of energy is released, spreading around the whole Dimension. [Human Dimension] ¡°What¡­what the heck is this?!¡± ¨C shouts Baramelo ¡°This is¡­Garaam¡¯s energy! It¡¯s spreading all over this Dimension!¡± ¨C shouts Rack ¡°Imp¡­impossible! He is still in the ArchGod Dimension! How can it be spreading out here?!¡± ¨C says Baramelo ¡°Hmm do you think it is over?¡± ¨C asks Kado Everyone is shocked when noticing his presence there. ¡°I would say so. Yes, pretty much over.¡± ¨C replies Urango to Kado ¡°What are you two doing here?!¡± ¨C shouts Rack ¡°You came to see your victory, don¡¯t you?!¡± ¨C says Kon ¡°Ohohohoh¡± ¨C laughs Urango ¡°Quiet kids. Let us just go home now.¡± ¨C says Kado Everyone is confused by his words. ¡°What? Didn¡¯t you hear me? Move your asses back to the ArchGod Dimension already! There is a lot of work to be done there!¡± ¨C shouts Kado to everyone [Back to the ArchGod Dimension] *Jails cracking* ¡°What?...¡± ¨C says someone ¡°The jails..we¡¯re free!¡± ¨C says someone ¡°What¡­what¡¯s the meaning of this?! How is that even possible?!¡± ¨C says a guard ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t understand?!¡± ¨C says another one ¡°Unless¡­oh¡­no. No no no no no! It can¡¯t be! Garaam can¡¯t...!¡± says another guard, in terror Around the whole ArchGod dimension, every single bit of Garaam¡¯ spells, such as the jails containing some Gods trapped, had just banished. Every single ArchGod¡¯s kingdom, who got transformed into prisons to their Gods, has now come back to their normal state, setting every single of the trapped Gods free. The whole ArchGod dimension was cheering with joy. Gowan picked Juno up with his big arms, almost smashing his body against his. ¡°Juno! You damn Human you really did it! Ahah!¡± ¨C says Gowan, as happy as never ¡°Good job Juno! I knew you would do ti!¡± ¨C says Alpha Juno is confused. ¡°Look around you Juno, every single God is thankful to you. You saved us.¡± ¨C says Clarietta Juno could hear the Gods, they were all shouting happily, thanking whoever saved them from their prison. ¡°Those guys¡­ Are they really that happy for the death of one of theirs?...¡± ¨C Juno thought to himself [Later] Sometime after Juno¡¯s fight against Garaam, Juno was summoned to the Pilars of Creation, a pocket dimension that could only be opened inside the heart of the ArchGod Dimension, the center of the Dimension. ¡°Welcome, Juno. My name is Urango. I am the ArchGodess of Precognition. I¡¯m sure you already know some of us.¡± ¨C says Urango, sitting behind a squared table, alongside the other ArchGods. Juno was staying still on the center of the squared table, in the middle of the ArchGods. He looks around, she was right, he knew some of those faces. ¡°We are all assembled here, to pray our thanks, to the being who saved us.¡± ¨C she continues ¡°I¡­am sorry for the way we had interacted with you. But it was necessary.¡± ¨C she continues Juno understood what she meant by that. ¡°So, you saw everything, right?¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°You knew how things would be.¡± ¨C he continues ¡°Oh oh oh. Not quite. My power, the power of Precognition, allows me to see into a being¡¯s future, no matter if it is a God, an ArchGod, or a Human. Yet, something strange occurred to me. I¡­never could see you in any of my visions. Not for a single moment.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°While I could see everyone else¡¯s future, I simply couldn¡¯t see a thing when it came to you getting involved. So, all I could do was to place the right pieces at the right places, for you to unveil your fate. And you did it. Congratulations, Juno.¡± ¨C she continues ¡°So¡­how come you knew I would get here on the first place?¡± ¨C asks Juno ¡°Well that was my doing!¡± ¨C says Gulian ¡°For we¡¯ve meet before, in the Human Dimension, remember, Juno?¡± ¨C he continues ¡°¡­ The ArchGod of Hope?¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Yes, indeed! My name is Gulian, I am the ArchGod of Hope.¡± ¨C Gulian answers ¡°Gulian was the most important piece for this to happen. He went to your dimension, a place outside of Garaam¡¯s glance, in order to use his power.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°And there we are you¡¯re the result of my power. The power of Hope, the power to make impossible possible! I went to your dimension looking for a sign of hope. I would never have guessed that it would happen thanks to me forgetting to close one of my portals¡­¡± ¨C says Gulian, a little embarrassed Juno looks back to the other ArchGods. ¡°We made sure that the first beings you would ever encounter were my most loyal servants, Arbihime and Clarietta.¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°They would guide you towards your first encounter with an ArchGod, and he would guide you to your fate.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°And so, I got the first Item from Harkiles.¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Actually, you got it from me.¡± ¨C says Gowan ¡°The Cloak I gave you the first day, it wasn¡¯t so you could move without the struggle¡­that struggle was just you adapting to your environment. The Cloack gave you the ability to be more aware and agile.¡± ¡°Yes. And then, that belt I forged, was never meant to be used by Gowan.¡± ¨C says Harkiles ¡°That belt was the very reason why you could keep up with Garaam¡¯s great energy. It gave you unlimited energy. Along with the ability to hide your energy from the others, even the ArchGods. Thus, making Worigama, or whoever was going to be sent after you, to not be able to interfere with your path.¡± - says Urango ¡°So, it allowed me to move freely on this dimension¡­¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Yes. Then you meet the other puzzle¡¯s pieces.¡± - Says Urango ¡°Korra giving me those rings that work like portals. Zubiat giving me those strong gloves. And Osaria giving me those fast shoes.¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Those rings are your inner power, I just materialized them. They are useless alone.¡± ¨C says Korra ¡°The gloves I did not give them to you. It was your will that summoned them when you closed your eyes. I had nothing to do with it.¡± ¨C says Zubiat Osaria just smiled. ¡°We gave you our blessings, yes. But nothing would have never been possible if it wasn¡¯t for your determination on helping us.¡± ¨C says Urango Juno turns to Clarietta. ¡°What you did¡­¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°You cleansed me¡­¡± ¡°I just shared some of my power with you, nothing much.¡± ¨C says Clarietta ¡°Clarietta is one of my Gods, God of The Aspect. Healing and sharing it¡¯s one of our things ahah!¡± ¨C says Alpha ¡°Let¡¯s not forget Toffee training, that awaken your inner power.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°Despite not coming to a conclusion¡­¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°That, it¡¯s up to you.¡± ¨C says Urango with a smile ¡°You did everything for us. And your name shall be remembered by us, in this entire Dimension.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°What happened to those who had jointed Garaam?¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Well, as you might not know, Kado and including myself, we had jointed Garaam too. Our intentions were, of course, to manipulate everything in order for you to succeed. However, many of the others, were actually into his plan. Thus, we were forced to take action and lock them up on a special jail where their powers do not work.¡± ¨C explains Urango ¡°I see¡­¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Well then¡­¡± ¨C says Urango, but gets interrupted by Juno. ¡°Am I still allowed to be here?¡± - asks Juno Everyone awaits an answer. Urango smiles. ¡°I may not be able to see anything involving you, but that, my dear Juno, it¡¯s a decision that only you shall take. We sure will need as much help as possible to rebuild this Dimension.¡± ¨C says Urango ¡°So¡­what do you say, Juno?¡± ¨C asks Gowan [Time skip] The sky is green, plenty of lakes all around the dimension, volcanos too! Actually, every single trait from each on-duty ArchGod seems to be a part of the ArchGod Dimension now, rather than being limited to each Kingdom. There are now plenty of more Gods than ever, around the whole Dimension, and animals too! It seems like the ArchGod Dimension had finally recovered from Garaam¡¯s interference. Juno is wearing a full ArchGod costume this time. He is sitting on the edge of a floating temple, contemplating the view he had from all around the ArchGod Dimension. ¡°So, perhaps we should grant you the title of ArchGod of AllSeeing! Eheheh!¡± ¨C laughs Gowan, who joins Juno. ¡°Yeah right. Like that guy exists! Ahah!¡± ¨C laughs Juno ¡°Hey, you never know! Hyperium has some weird surprised sometimes hum?¡± ¨C says Gowan as he knocks on Juno¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Yeah¡­ He really is surprising.¡± ¨C says Juno ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯m going to the Human Dimension. It seems like your kind is starting another war.¡± ¨C says Gowan as he gets up, scratching his back. ¡°Sure.¡± ¨C says Juno A portal opens, and they go through it. End of Chapter 12/Finale.
