81.) Miikimo.

Earth Z, a planet of great size and stature. Housing more than fifty-thousand major cities with greater size than even Earth 52's New York itself. Home to many Non-Mortals, Demi-Gods and a few Gods. A place that's usually prospering and full of an abundance of natural flowing Chi and Mana. Many Demi-Gods and Gods of Magician and Mage backgrounds show themselves here. Coming to learn the ways of the Wizard, Mage, Sorcerer/Sorceress and many others. Though the biggest city of all takes more after Gahwardia and its ways.

The people left in charge of this fair land was none other than the House of Morgees. A legendary family of Non-Mortals who always ascend to Godhood in their lifetimes. They've helped hunt and slay many gods that have tried to break the balance with very few failures. They've helped the Senkozen family for generations and are the only order or family to gain Independence from a clan without a fight. They are truly the pinnacle of peak performing Non-Mortals. To boast that even further, there's one on the current Grand Council that represents Gahwardia.

Now stands the current leader of their family and president of Earth Z. She heals her daughter and readies herself for a battle of great proportion. Before her stood the being that destroyed her home.

Miikimo: "You seem to be the one I'm looking for. Seeing as these people are at their limit and many souls have been walked by Lord Shiishii and Hideaki. Plus your signal source is riddled all over my home city."

Atoshen: "Indeed it is. I honestly didn't expect such a powerful Non-Mortal to be here. Such is the reason for me creating this shard."

Miikimo: "Hmm. *Grin* All good, but you're mistaken. Amongst every few generations in our family, a woman brings home a god. My father was such and I… be a true Demi-god ascended to full godship."

Atoshen: "Uh… you're a god!?"

Miikimo smiles and reveals the seal of the senkozen family on her neck. It looks as though two big fangs surround a shining star found on the center of their neck. This shows she is a god of the Senkozen family branch.

Miikimo: "Yes, of course. In the flesh, so go ahead and do what you will with that shard. I'll just have to release my limiter in response."

Atoshen: "Certainly you jest, but alright. Bottoms up!!" *Gulp*

Cpt. Kai: "He…"

Sanjin & Bujuro: "Swallowed IT!?!?"

Kahiiko: "Swallowing all those powerful particle's he collected could only mean…"

Miikimo: "Yeah… a huge release of power. (But… my guess is that it ends when he burns through those babies. Which is why I can feel that he switched back to essence.) Hm." *Smirk*

Kahiiko: (Mother must've figured something out. But to think she was half god this entire time. And that our grandfather was off somewhere in the greater scheme of things. Just how… strong is she!?)

Atoshen: "No matter! *PEWWFFF* HOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Atoshen grew a bit in size and stature. Two halos made of particles appeared above his head. His eyes turned pure purple and a hint of malice leaked from them, not even Atoshen himself, but his eyes. His clothing turned into a glowing purple color that flared up like flames. Leaking particles as it goes and a pattern of an atom appeared on his shoulders, chest and back. A staff with a circle with a cluster of particles frozen in place, spreading within the circle. He holds it out as he tilts his head towards Miikimo. He smiles and pulls his staff back, switching sides as he faces her with his right side instead. Holding out his free hand that had a black, skintight gauntlet attached to it. He taunted her, "Bring it."

Miikimo simply stood there for a second and then made eye contact with Kahiiko. She smiles and grits her teeth, then a clicking sound is heard. A sudden disappearance of the presence and tension sent chills down everyone's spines. Atoshen could sense a high level of essence that suddenly appeared. A presence that was higher than his own level of 42. She smirked once more when glancing at him and a burst of transmuted sources. She had released her true power and changed her essence to Anti & Chi all at once.

Miikimo: "You're in for one foul ride. Your Nuclear Aura won't save you either."

Atoshen: "Tch! As if, we'll just have to see as I eat away at your Particles."

Miikimo: "Hmmph. You all should know that Chi is easily the truest form of life energy there is besides life energy and essence. It's always flowing in abundance on worlds teaming with natural life such as plants, Mortals and even Non-Mortals. Of course that includes the beasts and animals… oh and monsters too!"

Atoshen: "What's your catch here?"

Miikimo: *Pat* "My affinity to Chi allows me to be linked to all you feel here."

Atoshen: "What the- (She appeared behind me without my notice? I can keep up with speeds literally five-hundred times that of light. So how!?)"

Kahiiko: "When did she!?"

Sanjin: "Woah…"

Bujuro: "Is she even stronger than Lady Meenahs?"

Cpt. Kai: "So this will be your first time seeing this huh? Nice… I got to see this during a mission with Team Z."

All three: "WHAT!?"

They all were in awe of her movement just then. She stared down at Atoshen with a smug smile then kicked him away with a strong left footed roundhouse kick. He blocks it with his staff but still goes flying anyway. He immediately stops himself after a few feet. He then twists his staff into the air and then swings back around behind him. A huge amount of essence is charged at the tip and then attempts to blast it outwards at Miikimo. But before he knew it, Miikimo flashed in front of him and grabbed his face with her right hand.

Atoshen: "What in the-"

Miikimo: "You've destroyed enough! Let's take this into orbit!" *PEW*

Kahiiko: "I felt it coming and still couldn't follow ANY of her movements. Ridiculous!"

Miikimo flies fast into the atmosphere of their world, dragging Atoshen along for the ride. They enter the atmosphere in less than a millisecond. She tosses Atoshen away as if he were nothing more than fodder. Atoshen catches himself and holds his staff out in both hands as a heavy dropkick was coming his way. He successfully blocked it and withstood the force which in turn, helped shave away some of the particles found on Miikimo's being.

Miikimo: "Ah… forgot about this… no worries. Just in need of… Absolute Anti!"

Atoshen: "Absolute what- Shit… (Her foot and leg are simply slipping right through my staff!)"

*kaPOWWW* The kick hits its mark and forces Atoshen back a few feet with a huge burst of force. He holds strong and withstands the gust of wind that follows. Just after, he rotates and twirls his staff around and around before swinging it to his backside and getting into a stance for charging forward. He digs his foot into the platform he created and shatters it as he dashes off at full speed. Ripping parts of the atmosphere for miles with the force behind the blast. Miikimo manages to block the attack with little to no resistance. Wrapping her hands in her Birthright's essence to avoid further damage to her particle count.

A twirl into a rising strike with the staff brings a heavy blow down from above Miikimo's head. She bends down a bit and crosses her arms for a perfectly executed block. The very construct of space within Earth Z's universal sized territory. Shook to its very core from the force and pressure behind their clash. Atoshen is quite the tenacious fellow and quickly twirls the staff back behind him as he twirls and does a reverse strike. Stretching the staff outward to strike her abdomens. She brings her right knee up for a quick block then forces him back with a slight push as she steps forward.

"N-Nrgh!" , he grunts as he takes a leap back and spins the other way while twirling his staff. A quick swing brings the staff crashing into her side now as she punches with her left and blocks the attack with her right. She scrunches her body up while doing so to withstand the impact even further. He does one full rotation to his left just before leaping into a butterfly twist. Which helps build up plenty of momentum for a powerful downwards slam with the tip of the staff. Miikimo leaps over it and backs up a few feet before rushing right back in and stepping on the staff.

Atoshen: "You son of a-" *SMASH*

A hard punt kick nearly snaps his neck as Zoshen's brain goes bouncing around and hitting every corner of his cranium. Atoshen was stunned heavily from it but his body wouldn't cease thw assault. He pulled the staff from underneath her and swung it at her head before she could come down. She rotates with the swing of the staff and does a complete side flip before landing. She holds onto the staff but has it broken down and rebuilt as he pulls it back once more and leaps back. He twirls the staff while spinning to the right and shoots out a bunch of particle blasts. At least 5 of them and they were all quite fast.

Miikimo: "Hmph, child's play!" *TEW*... *TEW* *TEW* *TEW**TEW*

She punches each one into oblivion as they approach her person. She was unaware each one had a piece of Atoshen inside them and he rebuilt himself from their remains, in total silence behind Miikimo. He releases a quick rising strike before she could notice, but all it did was bounce off her head.

Atoshen: "What the hell!?"

Miikimo: "The 'Absolute" in my Birthright allows for absolute adaptation. Which leads to absolute immunity. No same technique nor move will work on me twice."

Atoshen: "Grrrgh!!! Fuck kind of-... You know what, fuck it. About time I show you what else I can do thanks to this boy's abilities. Like… Advance!"

Miikimo: "Hmm? Poor thing… that concept has been seen by me before ba~aby. Anti-Advancement!"

Atoshen's ability was canceled in a mere second. Then he was blitzed by a flurry of fists with Annihilating Hellfire wrapped around them. "Prominence Barrage!!!" , she yelled while speeding up.her fists more than twenty times what they were before. With fire that could actually burn particles with its heat. Melting them as it goes and slowly warping Atoshen's staff as she advances. Atoshen notices but only smiles as he continues to twirl his staff. Miikimo was late to notice that he was still absorbing the particles from her technique. She didn't add Anti to her technique which allowed for her absorption.

Atoshen: "Now that I've gotten enough particles collected I can easily… Particula Hellfire Form!"

Miikimo: "Mhm… as my father would say. Playing with you would lead to casualties and further sorrow. Time for a serious thrashing."

Atoshen: "Don't play with me twerp. I've fought the likes of Death I in the past. You don't come close to his skill level!"

Miikimo: "Yeah… I don't. But, neither do you since legends have it… you lost that one. To think you're real… Atomen Particula Ma!" *PEW*

Atoshen: "I'm as real as your death shall be." *Smirk* *PEW*

They collide and dash right past each other as they parry the other. Atoshen creates another staff but it's completely covered in hellfire. Deeming that he was immune to her Hellfire and annihilation. But she was immune to his particle techniques, and was slowly growing immune to every other move and technique he threw out. She swung at him with claws for a seven hit combo. Atoshen spun as he stepped back to dodge each blow. With his staff resting on his shoulders. He dodged the final strike and swung the staff diagonally down with a flare of flames. Miikimo dodges the strike which allows the attack to stretch out to its fullest. Reaching further than the outer layer of the galaxy, from its center.

Miikimo dashes in and unleashes a slashing attack with her claws. "Anti-Spatial Claw." Five massive cuts in the fabric of space appear as her arm goes beyond its location in a waving formation. Atoshen vanishes out of the way and attempts to flank her. She ducks from his roundhouse kick. She then turns around to face him but finds herself having to do something about another swing coming her way. She catches the blow with her right hand and lands her own roundhouse kick on his left side.

Atoshen: "Goddamn claws and your kicks got heavier too. Why is that?!"

Miikimo: "Well that's simple as well. I'm not just an average god, I became a full fleshed version of what my father and older brother are."

Atoshen: "And that would mean you're a…"

Miikimo sprouted a wolfish tail and ears. Her teeth sharpened to a tip and her eyes were beaming yellow. Her claws glowed in a hot pink color and muscle tone tightened just a tad bit more. She had shown the hybrid form she inherited, the form of a Wolf God.

Miikimo: "To keep it short… I'm what you call a Gahwardian Wolf God."

Atoshen: "Tch! It means nothing in the face of Atomen! (But… there was a Wolfish being there that day. That wench that helped Life and Death I split me and turned me into what I am now. This could be bad!)"

After his outburst… he completely lost track of Miikimo who had given him a smirk just before vanishing. He tried hard to feel for her presence and particles but she erased their signatures. One could assume she had basically entered her Hunting Mode. A quirk that comes with all predator type Animal Gods. They can completely copy and gain all the abilities of a top of the line hunter. Atoshen would have no way of sensing her as she prowled in the darkness.

"Show yourself you little wench of a Goddess. You're fooling yourself using these cheap tricks." Atoshen yelled as his frustration grew larger by the second. Just as he was about to explode, a heavy blow struck his back and before he knew it, a cloud was within reach.

Atoshen: "A cloud? When the hell did we get back into the planet's skies?"

Miikimo: "When I lightly kicked the center of your back. And that happened less than a millisecond ago."

Atoshen: "Gah… why you!" *PRCH*

A left hook rattles his core and sends the Stuliathan hurtling through the air. He flies around the planet at top speeds without a way to stop himself. He suddenly feels another extreme pain within his abdomen region. His eyes opened wide and he could see a smiling Miikimo who looked almost like an innocent child having fun. He blasts into the floor before two milliseconds could go by. He crashed in what seemed to be a humongous mountain range. It wasn't affected by a normal type of gravity and was near the planet's northern axis. Covered in ice and snow with a high magnetic field.

"Her strikes are strong as hell. N-Nrgh! I'll have to start using study classes again." , he said while watching Miikimo descend. Struggling to rise to his feet. Miikimo comes crashing down into the ground, smiling at Atoshen as she rises from her crouched position.

Miikimo: "I heard you say you'd attempt to use your study classes. I won't be letting you do that. Not as though the concept my study holds can't combat yours."

Atoshen: (She has a study!?)

Miikimo: "I'm sort of a fashionista so my study does hold Anti, but I have the two classes Clothing and Weaponry. My eldest child has the Embodiment and Manipulation classes for Anti. You can try whatever you'd like, you're still going to be obliterated!"

Atoshen: "We'll see about that! Environmental Crash!!!"

A huge amount of snow came crashing down on top of Miikimo. She melted it as it made contact with her using Anti-Ice & Cold. Atoshen was high in the sky by the time she got all the snow out the way from obstructing her view. She dashed off after him while sending a volley of Anti imbued slashes. Atoshen dodged and blocked each attack with his Particle Dharma sword. The bits of each blast began to turn yellow as they surrounded him. Miikimo's fists were of the same color

"Like I said before… I'm ending this and sending you to oblivion." Miikimo says while getting set into motion. Atoshen sets off a few bombs to attempt to knock off all the floating, microscopic orbs. He had thought he was able to destroy them, but they were all still intact. Miikimo begins swinging her arms and fist shoots out from each orb. They hit him from every angle, crumbling away at his person as he's slowly pushed closer to the ground. He attempts to dodge them but is literally having his departicalization canceled out by her principle of Anti. Which meant he basically wasn't being allowed to use his ability to a certain extent.

Atoshen: "N-Nraaugh!!! (She's overwhelming me harshly with this bombardment.) *FWIP* What!?"

Miikimo: "Absolute Antification Barrage!!!"

Atoshen: (The real move hadn't commenced yet!? Oh no-)

*kaBLOOOMmaDOOMMM* The fists became massive in size and the strength behind them increased more than a dozen times over. Her tenacity was unyielding and he was unable to get himself from underneath her bombardment. He eventually was buried underneath rubble, but that wasn't the end of it. For beneath Atoshen was a massive build of heat.

Miikimo: "Once you truly master the arts of Anti. You begin to notice that you can truly command the "opposite" of the concepts you've run into and have knowledge of to a high extent. So I commanded a Destabilization here. Now there's no real amount of rock and sediment that can stop this island sized burst of magma."

Atoshen: "Oh no! (I knew this was bad news. But only the pressure should do me even the slightest bit of harm!)"

(Note: Islands on Earth Z are even larger than continents from our world.)

Miikimo: "I also used a limit breaker for the heat magma can actually hold. It'll exceed what this world can actually trap in and go far beyond what our star, Solar Vironimou produces."

Atoshen had a surprised look on his face just before being lunged into the sky by the burst forth of lava and magma from beneath the earth. He couldn't stop himself from the pressure being pressed onto his back. During which, he was rushed by Miikimo who slapped him with a fist full of Physical Zenchi. He was sent flying towards the south where her home and the others were. Atoshen was nearly stable during his flight, but wasn't allowed time to rebound as Miikimo came with another Zenchi strike that landed square on his lower back. The force pushed him into the floor almost instantly, which was right back where they started.

Kahiiko: "She's truly kicking his ass!"

Miikimo: "Of course. *Fwip* The idiot both overestimated the size of the shard, and underestimated my power. I'm a 45 on the scale, how dare he. Either way, I've hit him with enough of my Anti to keep his particles and other abilities in place. He no longer has a full fuel for them."

Kahiiko: (Mother looks like a wolf and her control of Anti is astounding! This match is over.) *Smash* *Clench* "Huh!? He's still running and able!?"

Atoshen: "Your powers… you used you control of Absolution to seal my powers. And you're a wolfish Goddess that can use Annihilative Hellfire. Just… who th-the hell is your father!?" *HACK*

Miikimo: "Hm hmm!" *SMILE*

Back over in Dracko Draconia…

Curti: "So you'll be going back over to Annihilo Sect to see you father?"

Hideaki: "Yeah, apparently Kishin and Zeeshift as well as ZeeArc. They all went back after being healed and father has an assignment for me and them."

Curti: "Hmm… for sure. Never realized it, but you're an only child aren't you?"

Hideaki: "Huh? That's a pretty random question. But yes, I'm my mother's only child. My father, on the other hand, has two wives and a child with the other. The child was allowed to have her mother's surname."

Curti: "So who is she? Cause it's easy to understand why you wouldn't want her to have Senkozen as a last name."

Hideaki: *glance* … *Grin*

Miikimo: "My father's name is… Zenki Senkozen."

Kahiiko: "My grandfather is Zenki!?"

Atoshen: (Senkozen!?) … so it is that. I knew your source and signature felt familiar. If that's the case…" *BOOOM*

Kahiiko: "He still has this much strength!?"

Atoshen: "If this is the case… then I'll simply blow this whole universe sky high with a particle Big Bang!"

Sanjin: "He'll what!?"

Bujuro: "N-Nrgh! W-We've gotta do something!"

Cpt. Kai: (Why is all of this happening!?)

Kahiiko: "Mother?"

Miikimo: "That's quite the grand charge he's got going… nothing much though."

Kahiiko: "Nothing much!?"

Miikimo: "Yeah… you see. I was able to see Sanjuro use that Zenchi technique earlier. But a master does not need to use all four in order to command one of Zenchi's techniques. Watch me."

Atoshen built up a huge amount of Particles with Atomic Fission as his source. There was an orb around him that had a greater pull than even the planet's own polarity. Breaking down the very structure of its confines. Miikimo slowly walked closer to his location with her left fist glowing bright and pink. It intensified the higher Atoshen ascended into the sky.

Atoshen: "HAHAHAAAA!!! This is it! This is my all out attack, the wretched Senkozen line can fall to pieces. Starting with the two of you!!! Haaaaa… Particula SPLITTER!!!!"

Miikimo: "And you seem to be failing to understand your multiversal level of strength does not compare to mine. Forgive me Master MorZick… I'll be destroying one for a few moments." *GLARE*

Kahiiko: "Mother's strength seems boundless all of a sudden. I can see that she's using Chi as her source. This attack will be grand! EVERYONE BRACE YOURSELVES!!!"

Everyone began using whatever essence they had left to defend themselves. For before them, stood an abundance of essence that dwarfed that of Atoshen's attack. Miikimo's fist was already flashing forward when they noticed the level of her essence.

Miikimo: "Zenchi's Anti-Particle FIST!!!"

Their attacks are clashing head on. The winner will decide the fate of the Planet before them. Another Senkozen is discovered as Haydes' search for the Keys continues!
