CH. 47: High Outer Gods ?!

Some time has passed since then, and unfortunately temptation took the best out of Akira who was very curious to see the effect of that interstellar drug Azathoth called cosmic cocaine.

Now, two Outer God were high on the most powerful drug that exists. Needless to say that the fate of all existences is now in the hands of two drugged idiots.

"Hey hey! Akira! Look at me goddamn it!" The unconscious Azathoth calls Akira.

"What?!" Akira shouts, half unconscious and unable to think straight because of the drug effects.

Azathoth summons a list of anime worlds, TV series and other human-made fictional universes. The universes of these worlds appear in front of the two, lined up one after one.

Azathoth closes his eyes and creates a pen. Azathoth laughs out loud before starting to randomly cross any name on the list with his pen, eyes still closed.

"Watch as I erase the shit out of these worlds!" Azathoth proceeds to draw a random vertical line on the paper. The line leaves a trail of pitch-black ink behind it, and whatever name comes in contact with the ink fades away.

The first name disappears completely from the paper, one of the universes in front of the two Outer Gods explodes in an extraordinary stellar boom. The explosion of the entire universe was so strong it reached the two, though they were protected by a <Tier 0> force field.

"HOLY SHIT!" Akira shouts in amazement, "DO IT AGAIN!" He yells.

"Hahaha that was fucking diabolical!!" Azathoth laughs out loud.

He proceeds to draw lines across the paper even faster. Universe after universe, they all blow up in a chain reaction. Name after name fades away causing the universe it represents to explode and release absurdly potent explosions.

The high Akira and Azathoth laugh as an explosion happens every second. This was the true madness and insanity of Outer Gods corrupted by the power of the <Boundless Tier>.

"YOU'RE CHEATING!" Akira shouts with anger at Azathoth who started looking at the paper, he was supposed to do it randomly, "Fuck you" Azathoth curses Akira.

Suddenly, an arm rips off Akira's body. He groans because of the pain he feels at his arm's level. It just disappeared like that and left behind it rivers and rivers of blood.

Azathoth turns the paper and shows the name <Khiarreh'Nox> covered with the pitch-black ink, "Oops, I accidentally erased you hahaha" Azathoth laughs.

No one can kill an Outer God, even less one that's <Tier 0>, the most Azathoth's erasure could do was rip off a limb off Akira's body. He grows his arm back immediately then stares at Azathoth with growing rage.

"You wanna play that game?!" Akira summons himself an identical paper then starts writing on the paper, "You don't have the guts to do that..." Azathoth says.

"We'll see about that Squidward" Akira mocks Azathoth's Outer God aesthetics that look like a squid, he covers the name <Azathoth> with the pitch-black ink.

Azathoth looks with horror at his name covered in the Outerish Erasure Ink within Akira's name. His humanoid leg gets torned apart which infuriates him. He heals the limb back and looks with fury at his fellow god.

Akira laughs seeing how he took his revenge on Azathoth, but the prideful Outer Progenitor wouldn't take it, he wrote Akira's name once again and this causes yet another limb to disappear and leave pain behind.

The two continue their idiotic querelle and erase each other until the effect of the cosmic drug wares off.

(...)

After what seemed like an eternity, Azathoth starts waking up with a terrible pain in his head. He laughs when remembers what happens but coughs a bit after laughing so hard.

"We... Should hang out more often..." Azathoth says with a headache and barely even speaking.

Akira is unconscious and doesn't respond to Azathoth. The outer god gets up from his seat while holding his head. He looks around and notices that there's still trillions of universes left intact.

"Didn't expect so much to be left behind..." He says nonchalantly. Azathoth doesn't speak a word. All the universes explode simultaneously in a single explosion that can't be described, the sheer explosion strength was potent enough to kill multiple <Tier 1> gods for good.

Azathoth just thought about all the octillions of universes exploding all at once and it happened. This is how powerful an Outer God was, destroying infinite universes with just a thought, a side which Akira did not show up and until now.

But soon, Akira will understand the joy of being above all.

――――――

Moving on, Akira and Azathoth were seeing once again sitting around the same translucent table in the cosmic scenery. but this was only after the two had regained their normal logical sense, the effects of the cosmic drugs had faded and the two were seeing playing against each other on a board game.

The two were playing chess, but on CRACKS. "So, what are you up to these days?" Azathoth asked Akira, starting the game of chess.

"Actually, I've returned from a universe." Akira replied, doing his turn.

"Really? The world of Akame ga kill isn't it?"

"Can't hide anything from ya" Akira said, thinking about what to do next. Of course, the two had deactivated their omniscience in order to have a fair game.

"A-Azathoth my lord...." Said an anonymous figure in the distance. The person was in currently emprisonned inside a cage, neutralized and unable to move, escaping was in vein. He wasn't alone there, multiple other people were in the same powerless state as this guy, but he was the only one brave enough to talk.

32 in total. Do you see where this is going ?

"And who gave you permission to speak my name openly?" Azathoth asked with dominance as he looked into the person in the eyes.

The anonymous person immediately regretted what it just said, "Pl-Please....have mercy―" But before he could say anything else, Azathoth takes one of the pawns on the chess board.

He points the pawn at the figure then crushes the piece using his bare strength. This caused the person to fade into nothingness, becoming dust as broken parts of the pawn fall from Azathoth's hand. The other primordial gods look at this scene with horror.

"You know that's one pawn less for you right?" Akira asks, "Fuck me." Azathoth says with disbelief of how stupid his act was.

Akira plays his turn then makes a fake cough, "Care to explain who these guys are?" He asks.

"Some primordial gods I enslaved some time ago, no big deal..." Azathoth says.

A sweat of surprise forms on Akira's cheek, "Yeah, totally no big deal..."

"Where are you going next?" Azathoth asks.

"A world of dungeons and Greek gods, it's briefly called Danmachi." Akira replies.

"Z' that so? Maybe I should go somewhere as well." Azathoth says, hesitating.

Akira almost chokes, "N-No you'll just destroy the world then leave"

"Damn... Am i that predictable?" He says nonchalantly.

"Stalemate." Akira announces the end of the game.

"What?" Azathoth asks, not knowing that the game is over.

"It's a stalemate." Akira repeats.

The game had ended and the two had already lost 15 pieces, resulting in the erasure of 15 primordial gods.

"I'm leaving" Akira says, getting up.

"Already?... What a pity" Azathoth says.

"See ya" Akira snaps his fingers and he disappears from the void. The remaining primordial gods are

Azathoth looks at the board of chess and the stalemate that concluded it, "Fuck chess" He throws the board into the board the void with the swing of his right hand, causing the board to disappear, as well as the pieces.

The remaining primordial gods are shocked and despair fills them, but before they could think anymore, they all die and become dust.

Azathoth leaves the void. Devoided of Azathoth's presence, it collapses into an infinitely big explosion.

――――――

What's on the 60th floor of Danmachi's dungeon?
