The Fight That lasted 2 Months

2 months have passed ever since the old god entered his body.

Dan lied on the ground without showing a single movement. His palm covers his face. "It is finally ending," he muttered softly, barely audible to the other Dan.

"Indeed it has. The fight has gone for far too long." The old god looked over. It looked slightly hesitant. "Don't look so depressed. You have exceeded my expectations. I never knew such a mortal could exist. You have broadened my horizons."

"Me depressed?"

"Don't be. You have been using me like sparing partner all these while. In this two months, you have improved considerably. Your textbook movements turned into well-tuned and perfected movement. You improved so much that your body couldn't handle the stress. Hence you are paralysed now."

"I think you misunderstood." His hand shifted away from his face, revealing a face of ecstasy. "This is the best two months of my life, I have never felt so alive before."

The place was no longer dark, red lights shone from a 2-metre wide window. The sun was setting, and it will be dusk in a few hours time. The space in his mind couldn't withstand such high-intensity combat; thus an opening was made after his last clash with the old god.

"So, you could still laugh even at the face of death." It was amused.

"Whether I die or not, it is for you to decide. It's a shame. Fun times pass so quickly."

"Indeed it's a shame. A shame that our battle has come to an end. And it is I who have emerged victorious. I have won." The old god unsheathed a bright red blade. "As an act of honour, I will give you a swift and painless death."

"You said that you have won? Hahaha. That is not possible. While it is true that I cannot win, it is also true that I cannot lose."

"Babblings of a loser. You have managed to put 3 scratches on me. Goodbye. Its a pity that Alcanti has to lose you." The red blade cut down swiftly.

The blade stopped right before Dan's throat.

"Oh, what's wrong mighty old god?" Dan asks in a sarcastic manner, not fearing the blade which may end him anytime. "This sword is actually meant to knock me out isn't it? It is designed to not kill the target when struck in a precise manner."

"..." The old god's expression was dark, darker than the darkest night. "I see, in just two months, you have managed to do so much..."

"It's not that difficult. Just scroll through the million years of memories and find out your personality. The rest isn't that hard. Now you can't make a move on me. We're in a stalemate."

"YOU WILL DIE." It roared.

"You see." Dan playfully pushes the blade away. "I am an asshole. I don't like to see you succeed from my death. So why not die together? Quite romantic isn't it?"

"..." The old god tried another sneak attempt to kill Dan off but stopped yet again.

Dan's body flashed in the green light.

"Don't bother trying. I am willing to suicide if it means stopping you from succeeding."

"Then what now? We will still die. You've seen the outside world right now, haven't you? That old god outside has already invaded your tower. Your little tower's defences are merely a joke to us. Your angels can't hold on any longer. Once that other old god reaches us, we will be absorbed."

"Why not we work together?"

"A soul contract? Fine, let's do it." The old god took out a portion of its soul.

"No. That is not enough. I need something more than a soul contract." He shooked his head.

"What do you suggest then?"

"Let us fuse."

"Fusion?! You... you are willing to fuse with an old god? Are you crazy?" A look of astonishment appeared on the old god's face. Old gods are beings disgusted by all lives under the Omnigod.

"Don't you have my memories? I am questioning the fact that you are an old god. Also, didn't you once wanted to end the world? This is your chance to fulfil your desires. Besides that, can you imagine facing this world alone." Dan changed the background, showing the actual monsters of this world. Titans, old gods and the omnigod. Beasts of unimaginable might.

Out of a sudden, it froze again, suddenly its actions seem stupid. Even with all of Dan's knowledge, can one face the world alone? Hesitant, it was hesitating. Was my vision wrong? Perhaps having a partner isn't too bad. Such power will run out one day, it was only a fragment now. And those monster are incredibly persistent, there is no way to ensure that they will not come back for revenge.

"Even I need a partner, especially with system's absence. Let us fuse. Then we can conquer the world together. The best partner is me, we are the same now, aren't we? What's the point of hesitating?"

"Let us do it."

Dan hug the old god, and the old god accepted his embrace. Slowly, they fused into a single being.

Eyes open and his pupils were the same as before. All that changed was his, 2 overlapping voice sounded in his head. His soul changed slightly. It was now bigger and brighter.

"Now, we're one."

His main body rose and stared outside the window.

[It has begun hasn't it?]

[Really this is just boss fight after boss fight... I need some rest. Isn't there a vacation arc or something?]

[At least the system is gone now.]

[How long are you going to stay in the same body?]

[Alright I will leave.]

A hand came out of Dan's back and soon formed into a body. A female version of Dan appeared.

"Oi, why does this look like me? And why female?"

"According your memories don't you like pretty girls? And humans work better with attractive partners."

"I know... but..." He looked directly at the girl Dan and slightly frowned.

"Then its fine isn't it? Don't I look pretty?" The old god touched itself. "Having a humanoid body is really convenient. Some activities are exciting."

"You're confusing me... Why are you naked? Put on some clothes." Dan screamed internally. Why the hell do the female version of myself look so pretty? Isn't this incest. I'm really conflicted now.

"Its alright isn't it? What? Don't tell me your turn on? By the way, I am also kind of interested in this thing called 'mortal pleasure'. So much good stuff in your memories. Oh, your size is *BOOM*."

Dan chopped down on her head, and commented angrily, "Don't say out everything just because you have access to them, that part is strictly confidential."

"That hurts", small tears came from the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful. "Hey hey, let's have kids."

"PFFFTTT!" This was a mistake. Definitely a mistake. What have I done...

"Oh, don't worry about birth defects, I can fix them with magic. As for raising them, I could just throw them into hell."

"No no no. Maybe next time, we have to fight another old god. That's right, what is your name?" Dan hurriedly changed the subject.

"Call me Leora. Leora, the former old god of the guardian."

"Old god of the guardian?" I remember that there is a portion of her memories on this. The old god of guardian specialises in defensive tactics.

"Save yourself the effort. I will explain it, its more like I am a former old god of the guardian. My powers got stolen by an old friend of mine." She looked solemnly at the dark sky as she gave off a nostalgic aura.

"But it doesn't matter now, I am fused with you. You can't betray me in any way. And my new power will form based on your attributes. What? Don't tell me you are planning to kill me off." Anger rose from the depths of her heart.

"Of course not. We share the same memory now. You are me, and I am you. Together we are a single entity. Shall we wreak havoc in Alcanti?" Dan reached out his hand, his palm wide open, seeking an invitation from the Leora. "Let us kill that old god who betrayed you too."

"It seems that Alcanti will enter a new era no matter what, be it good or bad. You have your hands all over the human and the orcs continent. Your ambitions are big, you want the entire mortal plane." Leora laughed and grabbed his hand. They had reached an agreement, there was no need for more chattering.

A more dreadful enemy is ahead of the new team of two.

[Angels, answer my call.] [The elementals serve me.]

Six balls of colour representing each elemental descended. Three angels arrived, tattered. Their wings and skin are clearly not as bright as before. The angels seem to be severely injured. Corrupted by filth.

[Master, you have finally returned. I'm am sorry to disappoint you. Your tower is destroyed, and the living beings in it have been corrupted. The tower has ceased to function. But we've managed to bring out all the projects to a safe location.]-One of the 3 Angels. Apparently, 2 died.

"See, I told you, your tower is merely a joke." She opened her mouth, and all the filth from the angel were absorbed into her opened mouth. "Tasty. Its the fragment of an old god. The old god of a million eyes, Z'rax. Since this tower is no longer beneficial to you, I will take it."

The tower crumbled and collapsed. Everything, all living being was absorbed into Leora, even Dan could feel the power pouring into his soul.

[There are two masters now?] The other angels and the elementals were visually confused.

"Oh, that is my chaos side. I split into two for efficiency." Dan briefly explained and moved on. The beings in the tower-like dungeon no longer pain him. After looking at the power of a god, he finally realised how worthless they were against a god.

Of course, he does not plan to tell anyone that Leora is an old god. And she is more like a normal god who displays traits of an old god. With 2 months passing, he could see the trouble ahead.
