Chapter : 23 : Love! Flames!
Third Person P.O.V
Kama: I hope you go easy on me~♡
Humanity's representative, Round 5: Kama (India)
While many thought she was mocking them or that this was some sort of joke, one person in the audience knew what this meant. Usually, an orangette, currently blonde due to the body she has, saw her childlike form and easygoing attitude and knew this could only mean one thing and one thing alone.
Gudako: ( She's totally pissed off... )
Gods: A kid! A kid?! Seriously! Do they think that lowly of us Gods?! Damn, mortals! / We're going to die... they're definitely going to annihilate us... I have a bad feeling... / You're going to regret your choice, humans! Yeah! Definitely! Probably! I-I just want one win for the Gods! Is it too much to ask!?
Humanity: I believe in you, little girl! You'll probably be super overpowered if our previous fighters are to go by! I was a little shocked at first, but I'll put my faith in you! / A kid.... a kid.... I know it's been a landslide victory for us so far but this is a little... much? / Uogh! Cute and funny- / Shut up! I'm still mourning the loss of the eye candy that was the Heracles match!
Gods clamored and Humanity was confused, for as much as there had been some rather... odd picks so far, this time it appeared a literal child was fighting for Humanity. Whether it be out of concern, confusion, anger, or suspicious intentions, the arena was most definitely alight with noise. However, this ruckus was soon silenced as Heimdall cleared his voice, for now, it was time... to announce the fighter representing the Gods!
Heimdall: Now... next up...
Anticipation was palpable in the air as the doors to the side of God's representative opened. A corridor covered in shadow welcomed the eyes of the audience, yet while there was nothing seen, there was most definitely something heard. Air rushed out as the sounds of stomping and strangely, the trumpeting sound of elephants.
Göll: W-Where's that sound coming from?!
Brunhilde: ( Fuck... can they stop being so flashy? Don't you know you idiots are losing pathetically right now? Just die already- )
Gudako: Go! Go! I believe in you! I love you! Do your best! Kyahh! You're just the best, Kama-
Mash: Senpai, please don't go too overboard with the cheering. It may distract her from fighting.
Gudako: Oh... yeah... didn't think about that. Sorry...
Mash: It's fine. At least the match hasn't started yet. Let's just watch and cheer her on internally.
Gudako: Alright. But I can't wait though! It's just too exciting! ( Is it just me or is Mash a little harsher today? I'm probably just imagining it... )
Turning away from the commentary of certain members of the crowd, the attention of everyone was now intently on whatever was about to emerge from the gate.
Heimdall: He creates for fun and can even destroy the world on a whim!!!!
The source of the sounds soon emerged. Dozens of elephants rode out in a stampede, all the while continuing to trumpet their calls as if parading an honored person. To which they were in fact doing, for atop the largest and most ornately decorated one, rode a four-armed and blue-skinned Indian deity. One everyone would soon know the name of if they already did not.
Heimdall: Make and break! Break and fix! The whole world's this man's playground! "What on Earth do you want to do?" Try asking this God that!!
The Love Goddess representing Humanity had her own opinions on this praise.
Kama: ( This is boring... seriously, who even hypes themselves up like this? It's so lame. Still... if this is how this Shiva is... ah... I can't wait... hehe... )
Despite this, however, the God who made his appearance was still greatly feared and respected by billions of humans.
Devout Believers: Om Namah Shivaya... Om Namah Shivaya...
So many prayed desperately while others clutched their heads in fear. It mattered not the spotless record Humanity currently had, this was the reputation this God had amassed.
Heimdall: No compromise! No consideration!! And he just couldn't care less!! All he wants to do...
Kama: ( Blah Blah... all he wants to do is meditate and incinerate. What's there to get so excited about? Annoying... I just want to burn him already... but I have to act the part... ah... but doing it this way is good too I guess... ehehe... )
Heimdall: Is destroy! Destroy! Destroy!! And destroy some more!!!!
The one who had earned this praise was none other than...
God of Destruction... Bhairava of the Cosmos...
The deity hopped off the golden throne placed upon the elephant's back, and as soon as his feet reached the ground, it was as if the wind itself was running in fear of his power.
???: 'Bout damn time...
Cracking all 4 of his arms in preparation, with a casual attitude and easygoing smile, he took a pose and flexed his physique to the masses.
Heimdall: SHIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Shiva: ... I got my turn.
God's Representative, Round 5: Shiva (India)
Shiva: Y'ready to get annihilated?
...
Kama: No.
Shiva vs Kama... Begin!
Gods: Shiva!!!! Show her who's boss!!!! / You're the greatest God of Destruction! Go! / You did it once! Do it again! Incinerate her to ashes! Hahahahaha!
A small tick appeared on Kama's forehead at that final comment, but she held back. Though... the cheering for Shiva didn't end there. Shiva was, after all, a very, very, very important God.
Parvati: Yo Shiva! Do your best out there!!
First wife of Shiva
Kali: Dear Shiva... I wish you good fortune...
Second wife of Shiva
Durga: A little twerp like that should be of no problem to our Shiva!
Third wife of Shiva
Ganesha: Papa! Knock 'em dead, got that?!
Son of Shiva, God of Wealth
All of Shiva's family: Good luck!!!!
At this, Kama only grew more dead both on the inside and outside.
Kama: ( Great... and now his number one fans are here. A first-class seat to his execution though... I would feel a little bad about it normally but right now... )
The faintest of smiles grew on her face, yet within it, untold depths of anger and pettiness lay within.
Kama: ( I just can't wait to show everyone his pathetic face as he burns- )
Shiva: Are ya ready to get obliterated?
Kama: I decline, again. ( Ugh... but first I have to deal with... whatever this... interpretation of him is... )
The two stood face to face, Shiva slightly confused on how... exactly to react to his opponent while Kama only stared back with the blankest face that was divinely possible. As this was happening, however, two Gods watched on from the sidelines. Namely, these were Hermes and Loki.
Loki: Huh, wonder where the hell that Ares wandered off to now...
Hermes: Well... it might be that he did not take the death of Heracles very well.
Loki: Is that so... welp! I'm bored! I'm going for a walk then.
As Loki walked away, an aura of intense and rage-filled energy radiated off him. To this, Hermes had no problem discerning Loki's true feelings regarding the current state of Ragnarok.
Hermes: Oh come on now... at least try making it a little bit less obvious you're upset...
Though who was to say, with the serene and calm face that Hermes was watching these battles with, that he too was not hiding his true feelings as well? Of course, someone in the crowd was much more clear in her feelings than even Loki.
Gudako: This is the first time I've seen her actually fight! I'm so excited! Let's go Kama! Let's go Kama! Squash him like an insect! Show that mongrel who's a real God!
But to one purple-haired junior, all this cheering was anything but cheerful.
Mash: ( Senpai is spending too much time with Gilgamesh and Kama... this isn't good... it's a bad influence... )
The pre-match gossip and cheers were about to come to an end, as Shiva had just about finished his stretching while as always, Kama looked on, somehow appearing even more bored than she was previously.
Kama: Haah... let's just get this over with already, alright?
Shiva: Man... and here I was really looking forward to this fight and I'm out here fighting a little kid! I was really hoping for a big wrestler or skilled fighter! Well, what's done is done... you better not disappoint me now, or I'll be positively scorchin' with rage, ya hear me?!
Kama: Yeah, yeah... ( I don't think you have the right to be scorching with any sort of rage right now though, Shiva. )
Once again fighting her inner demons, Kama managed to keep the neutral expression on her face, all while hiding her true expression of pure burning hatred.
Shiva: Anyways, if ya ain't making the first move... then I will!!!!
Jumping forward and preparing to unleash a deadly simultaneous strike from all four of his fists upon Kama, who even looked sleepy now, it appeared as if the match's conclusion had already been set.
Shiva: Take this-
However, lazily raising her hand in response to Shiva's attack, it was as if an invisible force of incredible power sent Shiva flying across the arena straight into one of its walls.
Kama: *Yawn*... is that all you have? Really... I'm the one here ending up disappointed now, you know?
Shiva: Gah!!!! ( W-What just happened!? )
Kama: This is a bit straining, but I'll do it anyway. Take this... or something.
Extending her arm, pointing outwards with two fingers towards Shiva, she first flicked her wrist upwards.
Shiva: T-This much is nothing- woahhh!!!!
So too, did Shiva go flying upwards.
Kama: Now... time to come crashing down!
Flicking her wrist downwards, and failing to contain an ounce of her inner sadistic excitement from leaking out, Shiva was sent crashing back down towards the floor.
Shiva: Grkk!!!! ( I can't even do anything! The hell?! )
Kama: Haha! Now this is going somewhere a little more fun! Wouldn't you agree?
Shiva: Like I would ever agree-ahHHhHhhH!!!!
*Boom*
Shiva was sent flying to the left side wall of the arena.
*Crash*
Shiva was then sent flying to the right side wall of the arena.
*Boom*
Sent up again.
*Crash*
Sent down again.
*Boom*
Sent up again.
*Crash*
Sent down again. Truly, Kama was enjoying this... albeit perhaps a bit too much.
Kama: My... don't tell me the all-powerful "God of Destruction" is done for already? I was just playing with gravity a bit~
Shiva: D-Done for? No way...
Raising a hand to her lips and tilting her head, her eyes were full of false pity and mocking care as she asked this to the Shiva who was battered and bruised. Who was currently lying down in one of the many craters that now littered the arena?
Heimdall: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! The match just started but we're racing to the finish line!! Kama with not a drop of sweat... is toying with Shiva like a cat does with a mouse!!!!
Humanity: The hell... was that? / Are you sure the announcer didn't mix up the names? / Children... are scary... / I feel like even we aren't safe up here...
Gods: It's happening again! Damnit! I just want to win! Please! Please! / Shiva! Shiva! Get back up! Fight! / S-she didn't even bother to move a single step... we're done for... us Gods are done for! How?! / E-Everybody! Keep your hopes and spirits up! We're Gods! Gods!
To the Gods who had watched their family and friends be killed time and time again, this was certainly a nightmare.
Ares: Hermes... I'm back... I'm ready to face whatever we may see here- Shiva!? I take it back! I'm not ready!
Hermes: You're already here, it's about time you get over crying your eyes out. Although... I'm certain there won't be the last tears we- you shed...
Ares: Crying my eyes out, you say? I'd never! I believe in Shiva! I'll always believe in us Gods! I'm staying and cheering him with all my heart here and now!
Hermes: Stubborn as always...
Back in the arena, Shiva shakily got up from the crater he found himself in. Wobbling slightly from all the disorienting flips, throws, and crash landings, he puts two hands to his head and slaps himself lightly. Afterward, shaking his head, he spits out some blood and wipes the remaining crimson off his lips.
Shiva: This... turned out a whole lot better than I thought.
Kama: Huh? Seriously...
Drawing her sugarcane bow and arrows, she notched one in and prepared to fire.
Kama: Realize the position you are in already. Loser.
Shooting an arrow it flew straight towards Shiva's head...
*Snap*
To which he caught and snapped like a mere twig with ease.
Shiva: Really? Is that all? Hah!
However, at this time Shiva was distracted by this arrow for mere moments, Kama had skated on air with such elegance it enraptured the audience in the display, especially a specific Master in the crowd. Arriving right in front of Shiva he was still shocked by the speed she had closed the distance.
Shiva: What the-
Kama: Taste true shame.
Raising her right hand to the Heavens above, looking at it for a brief moment before closing her eyes, and savoring this moment as if it were the most decadent dessert in all of existence, she soon brought the wrath of a Love Goddess down on Shiva.
*SLAP*
*BOOOM*
Shiva: Gackkk!!!!
With a mighty slap that resonated through all of the Heavens and even the farthest reaches of Helheim, Shiva was sent swiftly flying once again across the arena followed by a trail of blue flames and smoke. The God of Destruction had just tasted the power of the...
Samsara Slap, A Scorching Strike is Due to Hate
At this sight, Kama finally could no longer keep the dam holding back her elation at humiliating the oh-so-mighty Shiva like this functioning, and so let loose her sadistic laughter.
Kama: Pft- Hahahahaha! Look at you! Just look! So confident and for what? A slap! A slap! The pinnacle of the Indian Pantheon reduced by just that? It's seriously hilarious! Hahahahaha! I can't help but laugh!
In the stands, the Master of this Love Goddess also couldn't help but join in.
Gudako: Hahaha! That's genius! A slap- pftt! I love it!
Brunhilde: Let's fucking go! Slap his shit in! Beat that guy silly!
Mash: Yeah... ( No matter how you look at it... this is sort of... pitiful... )
Göll: H-Hooray... ( No matter how you look at it... we're just plain out bullying them now?! )
However, for most of the crowd, they were stunned into silence. Both Gods and Humanity felt that slap, not physically, but spiritually resonating deep within their souls. That is to say, they were dumbfounded that Shiva had indeed just been bitch-slapped by what appeared to be a smug sassy child. The same goes for the announcer of Ragnarok, Heimdall, but alas he had a job to fulfill so he snapped out of his stupor with haste.
Heimdall: K-Kama's slap of divine power and flames strikes Shiva at full force and sends him flying once more!!
Shiva: Ow... shit... that one fucking hurt...
Approaching the God of Destruction without a care in the world, shrugging her shoulders and closing her eyes, Kama spoke.
Kama: Of course that one hurt, I put a little bit of flame into it. Just a bit though. Ah... but it must have hurt your pride more than anything, right? Did it? Shiva~?
All while displaying a closed-eyed smile and clasping her hands together in a sickeningly sweet display of cuteness at Shiva. To which, Shiva reacted by getting pissed off at being mocked.
Shiva: Course it did... but I'm sure...
Kama: Hmm?
Shiva: This'll hurt more!
Kama had approached close enough for Shiva to use two of his four arms to push himself out of the wall he crashed into. Then, using this momentum, he launched his other two free arms out for a devastating downward and upward punch combo. A crushing pincer move that would strike from both below and above.
Kama: Eh-
Shiva: Thought you'd win this that easily?! Huh?! Like I'd let you!
The two fists of Shiva, each easily carrying in it more than enough destructive force to obliterate any average God were mere millimeters from Kama's face. Surely, it was the end-
Kama: Too bad~!
But as those two fists were about to make contact, less than a hair's breadth from her face, Kama easily dodged to the side and made direct eye contact with Shiva as she did so, greeting him with the smuest smile she could muster. Tracking that she had dodged his attack, Shiva responded to that smug face with his own contorted in annoyance and anger.
Shiva: Too bad my ass! I'm still at it! Don't think you've gotten above me just yet!!!!
Snapping his two arms that were previously behind from being used to launch himself forward, he went for a horizontal pincer attack this time, an attack meant to crush Kama's head between his two fists. To this, Kama lightly tapped her foot on the ground, and in a contrastingly elegant move jumped above the attack and softly landed right on top of his head.
Kama: But aren't I above you?
Once again, Kama mocked the Indian God, raising a finger to her lips and giving a puppy-eyed look of mock curiosity, doubly effective in her child form.
Shiva: You-! You-! Shitty brat! Don't you look down on me!!
Approaching all at once were all four of Shiva's arms, ready to punch Kama to death. However, as she had done thus far, Kama gracefully and smugly humiliated Shiva. Leaping off his head and doing a flip, she grabbed a tuft of his black hair and yanked it upwards. In doing so, Shiva inadvertently punches himself... with all four of his arms.
Heimdall: Shiva... ended up punching himself with all four of his arms?! Using vicious mockery and evasive maneuvers... Kama is completely dominating Shiva with ease!!!!
Ganesha: Pops! No!
Shiva's Wives: S-Shiva!
Landing back down again, now not even bothering to show mock displays of pity or concern this time, she spoke with a smug and knowing smile to Shiva.
Kama: Don't get so worked up that you end up hitting yourself. That must hurt~
Shiva: Tsk... here I was thinking I could end this quickly...
The situation now looked hopeless for Shiva, for standing before him was not a mere child, no, not even the Love Goddess she had proclaimed herself as. What stood before him was a beast hiding in the clothes of an innocent child. Mocking him and showing that every step of the way... that she was above even a God like him.
Gods: T-The God of Destruction is getting thoroughly destroyed?! / That Kama is terrifying! Why? Why? At least with the other fights, they were fighting... but this... it's more like a game to her! / Shiva... how could this happen...
Humanity: Did you see that Gods?! No matter how many eyes or four arms Shiva has, we'll still win! / Go! Go! Kama! Kama! / Those Gods keep looking down on us, it's only fair we show them a taste of their own medicine! Yeah!!
Cheers and despair filled the arena from the audience, Gods and Man alike felt the spark that was soon to burst into unquenchable flames from this battle. But, away from this battle, away from the eyes of the masses, a battle that could be considered equally as cataclysmic was soon to erupt.
Alcides: I was waiting for you...
In a distant isolated area in Heaven, stood Alcides. Saying this, the clinking of armor followed, and soon after pure radiant gold that shone brighter than the Sun revealed itself before this dark and twisted form of Heracles. Who had gone to greet this genocidal man who despised all Gods? Why none other than...
Gilgamesh: You trouble me with your impudence. Know that I am missing out on a rather entertaining spectacle because of your insolence.
Alcides: I care not. Face me and die.
Gilgamesh: Kuahahahaha! An admirable joke! However...
The sound of a bow being drawn swiftly followed and in response, the sound of hundreds of golden portals opening did as well.
Alcides: Be slaughtered as all Gods should!
Gilgamesh: ...I'm not in a humorous mood today. Die, mongrel!
Arrows and weapons filled the air that day in a battle of immense proportions. Alas, that was not the focus or even notice of anyone but those two. Thus, the spotlight returns to the battle between the two Gods originating from India. The Goddess of Love, Kama and her hated opponent in this fight, Shiva, the God of Destruction.
Shiva: Though, even though I've taken a real beating... this is...
Kama: What nonsense are you going to say this time?
Swinging all four of his arms around, pumping himself up, Shiva soon finished with a pose similar to a DJ.
Shiva: Good... good... good!! This is getting me pumped up! Let's have a dance-off to the death, shall we?!
Kama: So annoying... all this chanting and fanfare, it's pointless.
Shiva: Huh? Pointless? How could I not be pumped up from this? Something like Ragnarok... is there even something more exciting than this that even exists?! Anyone would be a fool not to get excited for an event like this!
Kama: No, no. You're mistaken. I do see the value in this event. I get to fight you, after all.
Shiva: Huh? Then why were you calling the chanting and fanfare pointless? That's vital to an event like Ragnarok!
Kama: Sure you may see it that way... but I don't. I see the value in Ragnarok and these battles, but I don't see the value in cheering you on. Since...
Before Kama finished her sentence, flames erupted around her. Confusion was eminent on Shiva's face, and certainly others as well. This confusion was soon ended, however, as Kama emerged from the blue flames unscathed. However something was now clearly different about her, as she was now more mature and boasted longer hair, along with a new spear-like weapon floating behind her.
Shiva: Oi... oi... the hell is this?
An even more cruel and evil smile grew on Kama's face as her hands coated themselves in flame and she began to float above the ground.
Kama: Why would your family and believers cheer during their beloved God's incineration?
Shiva: You? Incinerate me? I think ya got this the wrong way around little Love Goddess!
Kama: Fufu~, let's see about that... shall we! Don't turn into ashes before I've had my fun!
Shiva: I could say the same to you!
*BOOM*
A rain of treasures met a violent torrent of arrows. The sound of metal clashing and projectiles whirring through the air filled the sky. Yet for each arrow that struck true, it was simply swatted aside. As for each weapon that struck at its target, it bounced off the hide of a mighty lion as if it were no more than a common pebble.
Gilgamesh: Such trifling efforts! Begone!
Alcides: As if, King of Heroes. A treasure no lesser than your very best can even hope to harm me.
Gilgamesh: Fool, do not think you can goad me into your trap. For such a blatant disregard of my intelligence, vanish from my sight, mongrel!
Portals opened one after the other, and the sound of chains was heard, the harbinger of the arrival of a weapon that all Gods feared.
Alcides: Are you not the fool? To bring a weapon meant to be used against the divine to one who despises it? ( Tempting as this is to steal... I am aiming for his very best... )
Gilgamesh: I can plainly tell what you think of this treasure, mongrel. Do not underestimate it, for it shall cost you your life!
The Chains of Heaven shot out like lightning, twisting and turning in unnatural ways to track the ever-evasive Alcides. Dodging and weaving through the hail of chains, each end sharp and the length of it still a risk at binding him long enough for a treasure that could so happen to slip past his defenses against the weapons of man.
Yet in addition to this, hundreds of weapons flowed freely from the Gates of Babylon. As if an entire army- no, a nation was pouring its entire military might and wealth into a barrage of attacks. To the king who was the source of this volley, it was but a drop in the endless ocean that was his treasury.
Alcides: Tsk!
A chain had managed to graze Alcides and cut him. For while he was not divine, Enkidu was also not a weapon of man. Thus, it proved effective despite the Nemean Lion's hide that Alcides wore.
Gilgamesh: Fool. This is the end.
A portal opened beside Gilgamesh's hand. Red and black greeted the Heavens, and gold shone through its skies. To this, Alcides attempted to open his mouth.
Alcides: Reincarnation Pandora! Sword of Rupt- mmph!?
Silenced by the Chains of Heaven, Alcides was left unable to use his trump card of a Noble Phantasm.
Gilgamesh: Do not think of yourself so highly, worm. Unlike you, Master appreciates my great existence! Kuahahahaha! I know of all your tricks and weaknesses, mongrel!
A golden gauntlet grasped upon the handle of this weapon of absolute destruction, and so it began whirring with power. Wind coalesced, forming a force that could rend reality itself. Clouds swirled and darkened, and reality buckled under the strain of the ever-increasing energy. Raising the weapon high above his head, Gilgamesh had set in motion the end of Alcides.
Alcides: ( I... must escape! I must kill all the Gods! I will not die here! )
Alcides struggles in his restraints, attempting to break free. Despite not being burdened by divinity and thus suffering the true power of Enkidu, it mattered not. Layers upon layers of chains entrapped him, quantity more than making up for the lack of the true ability of Enkidu not being in effect.
Alcides: ( I will not fall! Hound of Hades! Cerberus! )
Although not spoken, the hounds of hell could hear his call. Stolen from Heracles, Alcides had hoped this power to be enough to shred the bonds restraining him. Alas...
Gilgamesh: Cease your futile struggling, cur!
As the portals to the underworld opened above him and the three heads of Cerberus emerged, so too did golden portals open around them, and from them, emerged weapons from the treasury of the King of Heroes. Swords, spears, staffs, arrows, and all manner of deadly projectiles shot forth and tore the beasts from Helheim to nothing more than a bloody red paste.
Alcides: ( I-Impossible! )
*Crack*
It was as if reality itself began to crack and shatter under the weight of the power that the first and greatest hero in history held within his hands.
Gilgamesh: Kuahahahaha! Be honored you are even partially worthy of this! I shall perform this final blow as a parting gift to you!
Lowering the Sword of Rupture and aiming it at Alcides, the weapon had now begun visibly emitting red energy from around it as it spun, the tip of it even glowing a blinding bright red.
Gilgamesh: I will tell you of the beginning.
Red lightning crackled and filled the air, demonstrating to the Heavens the sheer power of Ea.
Gilgamesh: Heaven and Earth split, nothingness congratulated creation, my Sword of Rupture cleaved the world!
The Golden King pulled his arm back as if the Sword of Rupture were the Holy Lance about to be thrust forward and annihilate all in its path, which in a way, it was.
Gilgamesh: Mortar of the stars...
The spinning had reached its maximum velocity, red lightning shot out far greater than any storm the Heavens or Earth had ever seen before, and the whirling winds of destruction had formed a glowing red sphere at the tip of Ea.
Gilgamesh: Heaven's hell is the eve of creation's celebration!
All at once the chaos ceased, it was the calm before the storm. Every ounce of power gathered by Ea had formed a singularity of golden light upon its end.
Gilgamesh: Now you shall die and be silent...
Alcides had managed to barely tear out a hole that he could see through from his prison of chains... but what greeted him was a power he could never hope to match.
Gilgamesh: Enuma Elish!
The golden light that rested upon the tip of Ea burst forth like the genesis of the planet. In likeness of the birth of stars and all that ever was and shall be. A red beam of destruction made a manifest shot towards the helpless Alcides. In his last moments, Alcides never found peace, for to the end, he swore vengeance and hatred to the Gods.
*BOOOOM*
Shiva: Damnit! Stand still! ( Also I swear I saw the sky turn red and the ground shook... nah! It's just all the blood gettin' to my head! )
Kama: Why would I-
A fist struck Kama directly in the face. But instead of flying back or outright dying from the powerful punch, her body dispersed into flames.
Shiva: Again!?
Kama: Wrong one~
Appearing behind him was another Kama, to which Shiva let out a devastating spinning kick straight to her side. However, this Kama too dispersed into flame.
Shiva: AghhhHHH!!!! Damnit all!!!!
Kama: Come on~ You'll get it right eventually~
Kicks and punches were sent from Shiva like a wild beast. All four of his arms are a flurry of punches, swings, grabs, and various other martial arts techniques. Even his legs were put to use in the form of powerful kicks. Despite this, what met each and every one of those attacks was what appeared to be Kama, only for them to disperse into flame the moment the attack connected.
Heimdall: I-It appears Kama is still messing with Lord Shiva-
The redundant and so far pointless commentaries of Heimdall were cut short by the complaints of the Gods to this shameful display... shameful for God's egos at least.
Gods: The hell is this? Stop messing with us! / Damn you! Damn you! If Shiva could hit you... we'd win! Definitely! You're just a no-good trickster!
Salt and tears filled God's side. As for Humanity...
Humanity: Hey, can you pass me the popcorn? Oh, drinks too! / Since when did we have reclining chairs?! Sweet! / Damn! We got sunglasses and umbrellas too! We're winning at fights and life!
They were enjoying the show. Laughing along and eagerly watching what way Kama would humiliate Shiva next. To say there was a major difference in mood on both sides would be an understatement.
Shiva: Finally! This is you!
*Poof*
Another Kama had just poofed into flames right before the God of Destruction's very own eyes.
Kama: Wrong again! I'm giving you one last chance~
Shiva: Aghhh! This is pissin' me off!!
Fueled by rage, Shiva let out a blindingly fast barrage of punches right at what he believed to be Kama. To his surprise, his fists connected with something solid for once.
*Clang*
Though, it wasn't Kama's face as he had hoped it to be. Instead, it was the uniquely shaped spear that Kama seemingly controlled telekinetically, as it always hovered just behind her.
Kama: Correct! So as a reward...
*Slash*
Rotating rapidly like a saw, covered in blue flames of destruction, Kama's weapon had sliced through Shiva's arm like a hot knife through butter.
Shiva: Huh? Ah... ahh... GuaghhhH!!!!!!
Blood sprayed out across the dirt floor of the arena, staining it crimson as it soaked into the soil. The blue limb was the source of it as it flew in the air, but a blue flame that burnt on it soon burned that arm to nothing but black ash. Shiva attempted to return the favor with another barrage of punches, but each was blocked by Kama's spear as she smiled devilishly all the while.
Kama: Hahaha! You lose one of your arms! Y'know... four whole arms is a bit much, so I'm just reducing the number out of my endless love and kindness!
Shiva: Hah... bullshit.
Kama: Ah~ How did you figure that one out?
Shiva: First... like hell that's out of love. Second... that damn thing on your face.
Kama: Hmm? Enlighten me what this "thing" exactly is?
Shiva: That damn... creepy-ass smile of yours.
Kama: Creepy~? Now that's a bit mean...
Once again bringing back her mock emotions, Kama feigned pain at the fact that Shiva thought her smile was creepy. Of course, she enjoyed the fact it unsettled him, for every ounce of unpleasantness she brought upon him was a little victory for her in its own right. Moving away from the main battle once more, the audience was once again at a loss for words.
Gods: Y-You're kidding... / Shiva... just... / H-He still has 3 arms! It's still more than she has! R-right?!
Heimdall: G-Good lord... the strongest God of Destruction unparalleled under the Heavens... just got completely wrecked... without even being able to hit back once... b-by... this terrifying girl who stands before us! K-Kama!!!!
Humans: H-Holy... / How gruesome... / I know we've seen Gods split in two and obliterated... but ugh! This is nasty!
Göll: This is terrifying...
Brunhilde: Terrifyingly awesome! Beat his ass! Fuck him up! Reverse his skull!
Göll: S-Sister Hilde?!
Gudako: Yeah! You go! Burn him! Crush him! Obliterate him! Show him true misery and pain! Kuahahahahaha!
Mash: S-Senpai?!
Countless cheers for the destruction of the one who is meant to bring it upon the world were shouted out by Humanity. Cries for the God of Destruction to prove his title and destroy those who dare stand up to him resounded back equally as loud, albeit far more desperate. Yet one group cheered for Shiva with all their heart. No fear, no sadness, no despair, only pure faith in his abilities as a God. The Hindu Gods.
Hindu God: Heh! Ain't no way Shiva's gonna lose to that brat!
Hindu God#2: Hell no! 'Cause in his fists... is the spirit of all 1116 of us!
Hindu God #3: Shiva!! Beat that fuckin' bitch to the ground!!
All Hindu Gods: Out of all of us... you're at the top, man!! You're the man! You're the man! You're the man! You're the man! You're the man!!!!
Shiva heard their cheers. He heard their passion. He heard the fire that burnt within all their hearts and in turn his.
Shiva: ( Even with my back on them, I can tell. Just like it has always been... every last one of em's... got their eyes dead set on me... )
Kama: Oh~ look at that~ what a big turnout for the "strongest" Hindu God... how amazing~
Even in the face of mockery and hopelessness, Shiva's flame will burn ever brighter. His companion's cheers and determination are the spark to his flames of destruction. Strength grew in his body as the roar of faith behind him grew in volume. For in all of his existence as a God of Destruction- nay! Even before he bore that title! Shiva had never betrayed his companions' expectations...
Not even once!!
Shiva: Man... I guess I can't help it. I can't let you guys down!
To his answer, the Gods cheered! They roared! Divine pride fills their lungs!
Gods: Shiva!! The battle's only just begun! / Shiva!!!!!!! / You've got this!!!!
Though of course, the Love Goddess that Shiva was facing had an expression that was quickly contorting into one that could only be interpreted as "The hell are these guys on about?" But that did not deter these Gods! No! They kept cheering! Their screams and shouts drown out even the ones of Humanity! Even if that may be because some of the audience fell asleep in boredom! Truly! The pride of the Gods was unmatched! Unquestionable! Inextinguishable!
Shiva: ...
Kama: ...
Shiva: Heh... I'm carrying all of their hopes... sorry, but...
Taking a stance and raising his remaining three arms, it seemed as if both Shiva's body and spirit burned brighter than anything at this very moment.
Shiva: Ya don't mind if I annihilate ya right now?
To this fiery determination, Kama, who had just nearly died of boredom listening to Shiva's hype men go on and on about him could only say one thing.
Kama: Ok.
Cocking back two of his fists, his muscles tensed and his body was bursting with power. He then swiftly launched both forward at the same time with renewed vigor.
Kama: Hah...
Shiva: ORAAAA!!!!!
*Clang*
Fists met metal again uselessly. With a casual swipe of her hand, the spear spun and using its blunt edge, smacked Shiva straight in the chin, sending him reeling back from the blow.
Kama: Are you done yet?
Shiva: Like... hell I am!!!!
Using two of his right arms to bounce back up from the floor, he used his singular remaining left hand and channeling within it a fury that could match even the force of two, sent a punch out.
*Clang*
Kama: I told you already. It's useless-?!
Ever so slightly Kama's spear shook mid-air.
Shiva: DORYAAAA!!!!
Seeing the unwavering power and determination of their greatest God, the Hindu Pantheon cheered.
Hindu Gods: Hell yeah!! / See that?! That's Lord Shiva for you! / He's one helluva brawler compared to you little missy! Got it?! / Those fists of his... have got the force of our spirit behind them!!
A barrage of punches came from Shiva. One after the other, a punch was sent out. Soon kicks were thrown in too. Each carrying the spirit of every God behind him, each God who believed in him, and each God he swore to not let down. To this, each punch and kick was met with the uncaring and cold metal of Kama's spear.
Shiva: ORAAAA!!!!!
Kama: So noisy...
Two of his fists hit the spear of Kama, to which it spun and deflected them away.
Shiva: DORYAAA!!!!
Kama: It's annoying...
An all-out attack of all his remaining arms was launched, in which Kama responded with a swipe of her arm that caused her spear to sweep the blows away.
Shiva: KURAAAA!!!!!!
Kama: Really...
A fierce upward kick was countered by the downward drilling motion of Kama's spear.
Shiva: RAHHH!!!! DORYAAAA!!! ORAAAA!!!! DORAAA!!!! ORAAA!!!!
Kama: I'm being serious here...
A nonstop barrage of punches met blow for blow by a rapidly spinning Spear, acting almost as a solid shield.
Shiva: ORAA! ORAA! ORAA! ORAA! ORRAAA!!!!!
Kama: Stop ignoring me!
The punches kept going, and more and more clanging of metal meeting fists and shouts of Shiva continued.
Shiva: ORAAAAAAA!!!!! DORYAAA!!!!!! ( Heh... been a few thousand years... since I've gotten this heated... reminds me... of that time... Rudra... )
Kama: Shut up!
Alas, the cries of pain and suffering from the Goddess, as it was in her legend, were ignored as Shiva went on and on in his assault and screaming. Although, it was a lot less of burning and screaming, more so just entirely the screaming, and from Shiva too. On the topic of these legends, it is the time to venture to the tale and origin that Shiva is currently remembering.
Long ago... the realms of Svarga and Patala... were flooded with thousands of Gods and Demons. And so, with the strongest Gods at its center... a civil war broke out! A thousand-year Deva war! This was a time far before India had a united Pantheon of Gods, the very concept had not been brought into existence yet, and during this time far in the countryside of Svarga...
Two virtually unknown Devas resided.
The Destroyer, Shiva.
And...
The Tempest, Rudra.
Though they were polar opposites, as if they were magnets, it only made their connection stronger. They got along extremely well, like brothers even, four arms and all. Various Gods and Demons all went after them and their land. Yet each and everyone was greeted by a fist to the face and a kick to the groin.
They spent each day going from one brawl to another, each waking moment a new fight was to be had. To Shiva, Rudra was the greatest friend one could ever have. This easygoing life of brawling and lazing around would soon come to an end, however. For one day, Rudra dreamt of something more...
He dreamt of standing at the peak. The peak of Svarga. A testament of power and skill that showed that the one who had made it up there was worthy of standing above every God and Demon in the land. It was far more ambitious than the simple dream of Shiva to become a dancer, but Shiva couldn't help but accept and join Rudra in this journey.
The two seeming idiots chose to climb to the peak of Svarga. Everyone laughed in their faces, mocked them, and believed it to be no more than a hopeless ambition of two young fools. Yet each day, each step forward, each punch was thrown, and they had just kept on going further and further up that very mountain.
Sneers and scorn turned to adoration and belief. An unstoppable duo who had paved the way to the peak through their strength. Each opponent was stronger and more famous than the last, it didn't matter, each was brought down just as fast. Taking the title of each God defeated, they eventually even came to blows with the mightiest of the Hindu Gods.
At the end of their journey...
Shiva and Rudra...
Defeated a total of 1,115 Gods.
To stand at the Peak of Svarga-
*Crack*
Kama: You done reminiscing?
Shiva had fallen to the ground in pain. For Kama had defied the rules of reality itself, in his most vulnerable moments, recalling fond memories of the past and gaining strength from it...
...
Kama Had...
...
Kicked him in the balls.
...
Shiva: Ugh...
Kama: Hey, get up. It can't be thaaat bad, right~?
Shiva: Fuck... you...
Kama: I refuse, I prefer to do it with my Master anyway.
Shiva: Shit... ow... fuck...
At this sight, the Hindu Gods, most especially those who knew him personally, were all but stunned into silence and disbelief.
Brahma: What...
Agni: The...
Vishnu: Hell...
Varna: Even...
Indra: Just...
Rudra: Happened?!
All: That's playing dirty! You b*tch!
To this, Kama only looked at all of them directly in the eye from down below in the arena...
Then proceeded to stick her tongue out at them and make a 'blehh' sound.
As Kama got into a contest of mocking the Hindu Gods as they swore and cursed back at her, Shiva shakily and slowly proceeded to stand up. Mustering the might of all those who believed in him and the power of a God of Destruction, he finally managed to stand up from the unbelievably devastating attack he had just faced.
Shiva: Haah...
Kama: Oh? You're finally getting up?
Shiva: Haaaaah...
Kama: I swear if you shout again-
Shiva: HAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
With a bellow that one would expect to at least have caused Shiva's hair to grow longer and more golden, Shiva began to dance out to an unusual rhythm. His footwork, it was the rhythm of the cosmos itself, a tune he alone could dance to. As such, it was an unpredictable and incredibly deadly war dance! Known by the name of...
The Hidden Treasure of Svarga.
Hindu Gods: That's it.... / That footwork... you can do it... / Yeah!!!!!
Heimdall: S-Shiva's- what the?! Shiva's... dancing?!?!
Vishnu: That's...
Varna: Yep... that's the move he used to beat me.
Hindu Gods: Ta! Ki! Ta! Ta! Tin! Gi! Na! Thom!
Heimdall: I-It seems in response to Shiva's dancing, the other Hindu Gods... have started to chant his battle beat!!
Moving strangely and flowing more fluidly than water, lighter than air, more chaotic than the raging fires, and yet ever firm as stone, with this unusual rhythm he approached Kama. To all who witnessed it, the movement was so strange it appeared as if Shiva was leaving behind an afterimage for every movement made, no matter how small.
Shiva: Ho-Haa!!
Kama: How many times do I have to tell you...
Shiva: Haa-Ho!!
Kama: It's useless-?!
Shifting in a manner that should be all but impossible, in a way that perhaps might even give the greatest predictive swordsman, the first man, or even the strongest man in all of China some trouble, he dodged right under the spear that was meant to stop him in his tracks as if he had no restrictions to his possible movement.
Shiva: Heh. Gotcha.
Pulling his fist back, he sent out a punch that had his all in it.
*Boom*
Kama: Gah!
Finally, the God of Destruction had landed a hit right in Kama's gut.
Heimdall: U-Unbelievable!! Shiva's flowing strikes... finally land a clean hit on their mark!!!!
With an angered raise of her hands, Kama rapidly commanded the spear to fly rapidly, coating it with flames, and like a homing missile repeatedly go after Shiva.
Hindu Gods: Ta! Tin!
Kama: D-Damn you-! Gaah!!
Shiva: Ho-Haa!
Another punch, this time to Kama's face, silenced her. Flung through the air she dragged across the dirt as she landed before coming to a stop, dirtying her once pristine clothing and face.
Hindu Gods: Gi! Na! Thom!!
Kama: S-Shut up! Shut up! Shut up- kyaah!
Shiva: Haa-Ho!
This time around, it was a kick to Kama's chin as she attempted to get up, sending her reeling and falling back on the ground. Managing to stand up again, she tries to block most of his attacks with her spear and attempts to fire some arrows, but Shiva's unusual rhythm allows him to circumvent these measures and continue his barrage of blows.
Shiva: Ora! Ora! Ora!! Let's go all the way!! Don't miss a beat!! You guys got that?!
Up in the stands, an old friend of Shiva was eagerly chanting along with the crowd, despite the previous... setback.
Rudra: Ta! Ki! Ta! Ta! Tin! Gi! Na! Thom! Ta! Da! Ki! Mi! Ta! Ki! Ta!!
Back to the fight, Kama was barely managing to stave off the attacks, and still having to deal with a large amount slipping through and hitting her all over.
Heimdall: She's about to pass out- but no! Shiva's dance isn't over yet! Keeping her standing like a punching bag, Shiva keeps on pummeling! This is the God of Destruction, Shiva!!!!
With this one-sided punishment being such a contrast to the previous flow of the match, it was only natural some were concerned.
Göll: T-This isn't looking good, sister! It's basically one-sided! Shiva's trump card is too strong!
Brunhilde: It does look that way... and here I thought this would be easy. Hey. You. Have anything to say for yourself?
Gudako: ...
Mash: S-Senpai...
Gudako: Hehe...
Göll / Brunhilde / Mash: S-She's laughing? / I see... insane as ever. Well, that puts me back in a good fucking fighting spirit! / Ah... I remember that one time... I see now... Kama...
Gudako: These idiots! Hahahaha! Really?! One-sided?! Winning?! Pft- kuahahahaha! Soon all of these little shits laughing and cheering against her now will know...
Summoning the gauntlet of Lancelot, Gudako crushed a juice box she had in hand.
Göll: ( M-My juice... )
Gudako: How totally wrong they are! Hahahaha! I can't wait!
Back to the arena, however, in great contrast to the opinions of the Master of Chaldea, Kama was continuing to barely hold on. The fists that had been in a non-stop tempest of destruction so far had begun burning with flame, each hit from Shiva's unpredictable divine dance more and more powerful each time.
Ares: W-What's with that smoke?
Hermes: Hmm... it seems he's literally... burning up. If I had to guess, his intense dancing is causing his body to become super-heated and combust.
Ares: D-Did you say combust?!
Hermes: Indeed... it's one of the secrets of Svarga's destroyer... the...
Tandava, Samsara Rebirth.
Punch after punch and kick after kick left Kama gasping for air and barely standing. Covered in bruises and blood, she was beaten to a thorough pulp by the trump card of Shiva.
Kama: Hah... no... not again...
Shiva: Looks like... My moves win!!
With an upward kick, he launched Kama into the air.
Kama: Aghh!
Shiva: Let's finish this off!!!
Jumping high up into the air and raising his right leg far above his head, a downward kick engulfed in flame struck Kama right down from her left eye to her entire torso. A specialty move of the Deva known as...
Krittivasa.
Kama: Ahhh! AhhhH! It burns! It burns! Like that time! Ahhh! AhhHHh!!!!
Shiva: Well what'd ya think? Did my dance... get you fired up?
Shifting the attention back to the stands, a certain Master was getting particularly angry.
Gudako: I know she has this in the bag... she told me that... but still... this fucking asshole! I'll rip him limb from limb! Aghh! It's pissing me off! Ahhhh! AhhHHHhHH! AGHHHHhHhHhHhHH!!!!
Mash: Senpai! Please calm down! You're going into Berserker Lancelot mode! Don't go in there! Stop! Don't try to rip his head off with your bare hands! Please bear with it!
Gudako: AGhhHhHHhH! S-ShHHhhHHHH!! ShiIIiiiIIIiIiIii!!!! SHIIIIiIIivVAAAaAaAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Mash: Senpai! Get a hold of yourself! Calm down! Calm down! Brunhilde! Please help me!
Brunhilde: Nah, I say let her. Fuck the rules.
Mash: That isn't helping!!
Göll: I'll help out- woah! Why is she so strong?! Ow! Ow! You're going to pull my arms off!
Away from the struggles of Chaldea, the focus returns instead to the struggles of Kama.
Kama: Not again... not again... it hurts... i-it hurts... please no...
Shiva: Man, don't give me that look... it's makin' me feel bad! What a pain!
Barely standing up and holding onto her spear for support, the Goddess of Love was on the verge of passing out from both pain and fatigue. Her left eye and chest were torn open, burnt, and instantly cauterized. While Shiva was initially looking to be in quite a grim situation, in comparison his injuries of a lost arm seemed small.
Kama: No... no... no... it hurts...
Shiva: Damnit! This doesn't feel good or right anymore! This is just sad! Hah... I'll put ya out of your misery. Shit, this isn't how I wanted to win!
Walking up to the Love Goddess, who appeared now as no more than a frightened and injured girl on the verge of death, Shiva raised all three of his palms and put them forward.
Kama: A-AhhH! No! No! Get away! I don't want to feel that pain again! Stop! Stop!
Desperately trying to back away from the advancing Shiva, Kama uselessly inched backward, only to end up tripping and falling.
Shiva: Sorry bout' this myself, while you may have been a real pain at first, no one deserves to go out like this. But Ragnarok is Ragnarok. Sorry, little miss. Burn to ashes...
Flames coated his palms and shot forth, enveloping Kama in the bright red flames of the God of the Destruction.
Kama: AhhhH! This pain! Again! Not again! AHhHHhH! AHhHHHHHHHHHHH!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Shiva: Damn...
Her body crumbled slowly to ash, her pained screams ringing out throughout the arena, leaving all within silent at the pitiful spectacle.
Kama: H-Help! Anybody! Help! No!!! Noo!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!
Shiva: ...
Slowly, her voice grew raspier and weaker, more hoarse and faint as the flames continued to burn.
Kama: Ahh... ahhh... ah...
Shiva: ... Rest in peace. You did well.
Walking away and back towards the corridor and away from the ashes of his former opponent, Shiva had earned his victory.
Heimdall: T-The Gods have won! The Gods have claimed their first victory! Unbelievable!!!!
Gudako: KILLL!!!! KILLLlLLllL! ShhIiIiiI! SHhHhHhhhIiIII! SHIIiiIIIVAAAAAAAAaaaAAA!!!!!!!
Mash: Calm down, Senpai! Please! Gilgamesh has the funds! We can revive her!
Brunhilde: Shit... it felt unfair... but I don't fucking care anymore. I think we should just ram Enkidu into all our problems for the rest of the tournament...
Göll: This... I... I don't like this feeling...
Gods: We did it! We did it! / That's the Hindu God of Destruction for you! I knew he could! / Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!! Shiva!!! Shiva!!!! / I knew you could do it, Papa!! You aren't The Destroyer for nothing!!!! / That's our husband for you! Woohoo!!!!
Humanity: We lost...? We actually... lost? / Ah... this is bad... this is bad... what if we lose more? What if it isn't the first? / Damnit! I knew we shouldn't have trusted someone like that! We should have just brought back the previous winners! That isn't against the rules, right?! Let's do that next time! / Yeah! Bring back Zhongli! Bring back Raiden! Bring back Heracles! Bring back Enkidu-
*Crack*
Yet all at once, everyone was silenced. A noise, as if the universe itself shattered as if it were no more than glassware filled the ears of every God and man in that arena. Soon, the reason for the noise was seen by all, much to the horror of the audience. The sky cracked, the blue and clear sky of the Heavens was beginning to crack like glass.
*Crack*
More and more of it cracked, the rifts in the sky becoming larger and more defined, and if one paid close enough attention... it was as if the cosmos hid behind those rifts in space.
*Crack*
Pieces began to fall away, revealing in all its glory what was hidden. Stars, galaxies, it was as if the sky was but a cover to the beauty of a universe hidden behind it.
*Shatter*
???: Hah..
A womanly voice rang out throughout all of the Heavens, a mere sigh at first.
???: Haha...
Then a giggle.
???: Hahaha!
A small fit of laughter.
???: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Then a full-on maniacal laugh that imbued the hearts and souls of all within Heaven with an indescribable sense of dread. As if this were the herald to a...
Evil of Humanity.
Heimdall: Uh... hey... staff... what's going on?!
Gods: Uh... is this supposed to happen? / Of course it is! It's obviously our uh... victory screen???? / Yeah! It's a signal of our first magnificent victory! Woohoo! C'mon everyone! Cheer! Cheer... this is fucking ominous... / Don't tell me... there's more?!
Humanity: We lost once! Why the hell is the apocalypse already arriving?! Isn't that super unfair?!?! / Ahh! It's the end! The end! / Wait... everyone! Look at the Gods! They're quaking in their boots! They don't know either! / Was that supposed to be reassuring or make me more scared, prick?!
Looking up to the sky, Shiva got into a defensive stance.
Shiva: ( This feeling... this is bad- )
*Fwooosh*
A pillar of blue flames erupted from the ashes of Kama, which caused Shiva to rapidly turn around in concern. But contrary to what he had expected, all it had done was incinerate the ashes that were left. Left confused by this, as had all the crowd, everyone was both confusedly and shakily looking around for what they felt was imminent...
The Arrival of a Beast.
They knew not of it was, no one did but the very few from Chaldea, but as if it was an instinctual response in both God and Man... they felt it. The fear of extinction, of total destruction, of the death of everything and everyone upon the planet- not the existence to which they were all residents to.
???: Hahahahaha! Honestly! Shiva... Shiva... oh poor Shiva~
Shiva: The hell?! Who is that!? Show yourself!!!!
Looking around alertly, Shiva re-ignited his fists with flame and prepared to fight.
???: You really thought you won? Burnt your enemy to ashes? Hahahaha! So, so, so naïve!
Shiva: If ya think it's so damn cold come down and taste it yourself!
Sensing something, he punched behind him. However, The Destroyer was only greeted by thin air when he turned around to look at what it was.
???: Even with three eyes, ever so blind, aren't you? Pathetic~
Shiva: Shut the fuck up and face me already! I think I've just bout' figured out who the hell you are! Kama!!!!!
A pillar of flame erupted once more and Kama reappeared before everyone, shocking the Gods with terror and feeding the flames of Humanity's drive to win once more. However this time she was far different in appearance. Most of her clothes had been discarded for golden coverings, her hair a mirror to the stars, her limbs a peek at countless galaxies, a halo of pure light shining above her as if to show her authority as one with dominion over the universe itself.
Kama: I've been found out~ Oh no~!
Shiva: How the fuck did you live?
Kama: Huh? That? I thought it was obvious.
Shiva: Hell ya mean obvious?!
Raising her right arm, she ignited a small blue flame on her palm that proceeded to cause all the nearby soil to turn to glass and the very air appeared to warp from the sheer amount of heat produced.
Kama: Flames have to be at least a little warm to kill someone, no?
Shiva: I see... that's how it is, huh? You toy with me, mock me, trick me, and then come back again just to mess with me some more?! I see! I see! Let's see how you handle this! Gah!!!!
Shoving his fingers through his chest, Shiva began pumping his own heart manually.
Kama: Oh~? Maybe this might be a little fun...
Shiva: Who knows! Cause this is my first time seein' this too! Gh... Gah... Ghhh... GHhHHHHhhHHHHHH!!!!!!
Heimdall: Wh-What in the?! Shiva's body... is turning red! A-As if it's burning up!!
Written in the Verdas, Shiva was now fulfilling an ancient prophecy with this technique. For it was stated that when the time was fulfilled, Lord Shiva would dance the Tandava, and bring about the destruction of the world-
Kama: *Yaaaawn* Mmm... maybe a little warmer than before...
Tiredly yawning, Kama wiped a tear from her eye and appeared to be once again bored out of her mind. But soon her bored expression shifted nearly instantly to one of malice and sadistic joy.
Kama: But... really! Hahahaha! I can't help but find it funny that Shiva! Shiva! The Shiva! The origin of these flames... the flames I use now... is burning up just by using them! His own flames! Pftt-Hahahahahaha! This is hilarious! So weak... what an absolutely pathetic showing, Shiva!!!!
Shiva: Fuck you... GHHHHhhHH! Haven't you heard... of my own damn... legend?! Aren't you an Indian Deity?! You should know how these flames work-GHhhhHhhH!!!! GAHhHHHHHH!!!!
Kama: Stop shouting, I'm trying to remember. Ah! I probably did at one point... but I don't tend to put too much energy into remembering useless things...
Shiva: Fuck you-ahhHhHHHHhhHHHHh! AHhHHhHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Kama: Ahahahaha! How does it feel? Hmm? Hmm? How is it, Shiva? To feel the pain of your flames? It hurts, right? It burns, right? You want it to stop already, right? Too bad~! It won't~!
Shiva: Ahh... hah...
The rest of the prophecy was as follows, that when Shiva burns the world, he too would burn himself to ashes. Then from those ashes... he would recreate the world. This is called...
Tandava Karma.
Kama: Aww... done suffering already?
Shiva: Shut the hell up and let's dance til' we burn up already, yeah?
Kama: Yeah, yeah. Let's get this over with already-
Shiva: Your guard is down! Seems ya haven't learned! ORAAAA!!!!
He let out a kick right at Kama, only for her to catch it with ease. Not even an ounce of struggling, her arm wasn't shaking, nor did she even bother to look his way as she fixed a bit of messed up hair on her head. Seeing this, Shiva was positively seething with anger, at the fact his very best was being looked down upon so much.
Kama: Come on, Shiva. Can't you hit a little~ harder than that?
Shiva: DORYAAA! BURN!!!!!
This punch too was slapped away by Kama, who wasn't even bothering to keep her eyes open as she itched them.
Kama: Weak.
Shiva: HAHHHHHhHHhHHHH!!!!!!
Letting out an all-out assault from all three of his arms, it was as if a tidal wave of flame was approaching Kama. In response to this, she raised her arm, and folded back her pointer finger...
...
And flicked.
*BOOOOM*
The Destroyer was sent flying once more through the arena, and this time, it was even more damaging. Not only to his pride but the fact that a single flick had cost Shiva two of his arms.
Shiva: GahhHHH!!!!
Kama: Boring~ Boring~ This God of Destruction is sooo lame~
Standing up once more, with only one arm left and both of his legs, barely clinging on as now it was he whose body was crumbling to ashes.
Shiva: Lame, huh? Well, I don't think they think so...
Pointing behind him with his last arm, Shiva pointed to the rows holding the Hindu Gods. Turning his head to them and offering them a smile of confidence.
Hindu Gods: Shiva! Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!!!!
Rudra: Shiva!!!! No matter what!!!! Don't lose!!!! Win!!!! FIGHT!!!!
Ganesha: Papa! Win! Win! You can do this!
Parvati: Shiva! Dear! You can do it!
Kali: Dear Shiva... win... win and come home...
Durga: Beat that smug twerp b*tch into the dirt for me, ey?!
Turning back around to face Kama, Shiva returned to a battle stance.
Shiva: I got people cheerin' me on... and I ain't about to let them down!!!! I'm giving this my all! My one and only...
Deva Loka, Final Act Flame Dance.
Rushing forward, Shiva flew forward with a flying kick. Flames erupted from his body, blue and burning hotter than ever before. At this very moment, he was the spitting image of a God of Destruction, wielding his flames to destroy all before him on a whim. Finally, the time had come, his kick was just about to connect...
Kama: Good for you... but... too bad!
Kama disappeared into flames once more, and Shiva was still mid-air when the most horrific sight greeted him. Thousands- no, millions, nay! Infinite Kamas filled the cosmos!
Kama 1: You see...
Kama 2: No matter how many people cheer you on...
Kama 3: No matter how much you try...
Kama 4: No matter how much your flames burn...
Kama 5: In the end...
Kama 6: You'll never be more than a speck of dust in my universe...
Kama 7: Ever since the beginning...
Kama 8: Everyone and everything...
Kama 9: All you see in this realm...
Kama 10: Has been inside me the whole time.
All the Kamas: Ahahahahaha! From the very beginning, Shiva! From the start of it all! You were dancing in the palm of my hand! Fool! Idiot! Weakling! Pathetic! Die! Die! Burn! Burn! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Even if you are a God of Destruction, a measly fake as you are, you never would stand a chance against me for all of eternity! After all...
Raising her hand to infinite galaxies above as Shiva could only watch helplessly as his body was failing and burning to ash, Kama stared him right in the eyes with immeasurable glee.
Beast III/L: I am the incarnation of passion and the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.
A blue orb of flame grew in her hand, and throughout the universe of Kama, petals of flowers were carried about and drifted through the sea of stars.
Beast III/L: The fire of sensuality is no obstacle, but a salvation that fulfills the cold void.
The orb condensed into a singularity, so small it was invisible to the naked eye. Then it burst into light, a pillar of unimaginably bright blue flames of destruction that shot up to the Heavens above, filling the sky with its glow. Spreading out above, the beams appeared as if it were a tree growing amongst the cosmos, branches outstretching into the infinite void.
Beast III/L: O' starry sea of greed, writhe with corruption and wander...
Shiva: ( Sorry everyone... I think this is it for me... no way... can I do something against that. As a God of Destruction... as a fighter of the Gods... as a friend... as family... I've failed- )
So the light descended. Each a current of annihilation as it came down upon The Destroyer. A rain of all of the Goddess of Love's pain and hatred caused by this man. Her suffering and pain at the hands of those flames, now they turned upon the very creator of them, as it struck upon the target of her vengeance, Shiva.
Beast III/L: Mara Avaruddha.
In the end, not a speck of Shiva remained. He had been erased and burnt away... into nothingness.
Heimdall: T-The winner of Ragangrok, round 5... is... Kama!!!!
Kama/Mara vs Shiva
Finishing Move: Samsara Kama/Mara Avaruddha: Realm of Love, Burning Universe
Winner: Kama/Mara
