The Ember Becomes a Wild Fire
Darkness consumed all as the screams and echoes of trillions of different voices sung out amidst nothingness. Raw emotion and power flexed just beyond the veil of my vision as dirges were sung in millions of different languages. Frigid ice seemingly covered my limbs, turning the skin numb whilst my muscles twitched from the exposure. Looking around provided nothing new for my predicament. Images flashed along the surface of my mind amidst the fugue space I was floating within.
Milim eating honey before being consumed by the tidal waves of the Warp. Cackling gods of varying physicality moaning and snickering above the corpses of all three of my women. Pink flames consuming everything that I once loved. Thirsting daemons eating the innards out of my friends amongst the most grotesque of sexual displays with dead corpses... Anger flared within me as the feelings of love and connection that I had with Rimuru, Yuna and several others bubbled to the surface. Most of all the feelings of adoration, love and extreme comfort I had with Milim, Shuna and The Raven Queen began filling my mind. A fire that was once a sputtering flame roared forth as my mind played the image of a small ember, a spark really, whirling in place before being fed by all of the emotions I was throwing at its base.
All of my life on Earth flashed before me as the very essence of anguish, pain and warfare was thrown into the pyre. The loneliness and lack of affection from my last lives sinking into the very foundations of this flame amidst the cacophonous emotions of my current life. Feelings of apathy, dread, boredom, indifference and obeisance all burnt down into the most basic of elements for this flame. Then came the positive emotions, all of them being thrown above the remnants of my negative emotions as they too lit into flame. All consumed.
My state was now utterly calm, unphased by all thing. This space was nothing, therefor there was nothing to worry about. Nothing to concern myself with would arise. Was this peace? It was as if the space itself was asking me questions, an odd sensation to have within this completely null state. It did feel peaceful, but I knew that my emotions made me who I was. Trading everyone I loved for a moment of peace was not who I wished to be. Nor was it the measurement of who i was currently. The dam broke as all of those emotions that had been stripped were returned. Every primordial emotion that Humanity had ever comprehended and given name to surged into my mind and heart. It felt too chaotic to control, so I let it run rampant...
Suddenly the space around me began to glow a bright white colour. Then it faded to the darkest black again. Then to the most verdant green that once could ever hope to see. Blue was next, it's density representative of all of the oceans in existence and the sheer depths of magic itself. Red slowly came to consume the Blue as volcanos raged and boiled away the very essence of the ocean. Landmasses surged upwards only to be struck by an all mighty hammer as the red haze was replaced with Grey. But amidst all of these, what took the majority of my attention, was the ever growing pulse of geometric rainbow shapes that cascaded tumultuously amidst these displays of raw essence. QI. The force that had made me able to compete with the most extraordinary forces on Tensura, including the Warp itself, an essence that I could feel was massively powerful.
It just lay in between all of these other essences of reality, glimmering amidst the radiance of the sun, the depths of darkness, the life force of Universes, the highs of magic, the raw power of matter itself and the unbending will of intelligence. I doubted that I had a body in this space but this didn't stop me from attempting to reach out towards it. No fingers were seen by me, however, my form slowly inched closer as the pulsation increased in speed and power. Continuing to 'step' forwards, the speed of the Qi accelerated beyond what I could perceive. By the time that I had reached it's exterior all there was, visually, was flashes of light... As if the essence had become light itself.
Reaching out with my will I sought to touch this 'light'. To become one with it, or at least feel it. The thought slunk from my mind as soon as It was had, the essence of Qi exploding outwards towards me as silver consumed everything within my perspective. The flame, visible now amongst the silver, glowed with all of the colours of the essences I understood. To the side of the fire however were hundreds of thousands of concepts that I had learnt from Raistlin. Time...Space... Every small concept I had understood amidst the chaos that was reality.

My mind went blank under the strain of my skills going haywire. The burgeoning energy and power suffocating my senses until they were numb from overstimulation. Energy of multiple different types all cascaded through my body chaotically as even the presence of the warp was there.
Unlike in my dream state though, this energy was warming and felt like a loving hug from one of my wives. An almost caring embrace that nearly made me forget about the despotic nature of what had just attacked me. This wasn't all though as all of the essences, Blue, Green, Red, White, Black and Grey was running rampant behind my eyelids as the omnipresent Qi of my Dantian began to rhythmically thrum. All the colours soon swirled and began to move in a conical pattern, as if they were a part of a tornado or hurricane.
Then, just as I was getting accustomed to the changes, millions of petabytes of information on my new abilities was uploaded straight to my brain. Neurons fired almost visually for me as my new all-encompassing sense allowed me to literally scan the internal parts of my body to an eerie extent. A headache blithered into my state instantly along with the information, my brain running hot in comprehending all of these details. My system did help me somewhat this time however as the emergency function kicked in and began to take some of the write-speed strain.
[Planar Tail of Molecules-
Harmonized Existence: By tapping into the essence of bloodline, magic, and dark matter, the user can shift their state of being to exist partially within multiple planes at once. This allows them to pass through solid objects, become partially intangible, or see into hidden realms.
Reality Shaping: Focusing on the structural properties of carbon, fae essence, and mythallar, the user can reshape small areas of their environment in a transmutative, illusionary manner, temporarily altering the physical and magical properties of objects or terrain. For instance, a stone wall could be momentarily turned to crystal, or an aura of mysterious lights could illuminate a darkened space.
Resonant Echo: The user can release a pulse of aurora-like energy infused with paradox and sound, creating a ripple of vibrations that disorients enemies and alters their perception of time and space. This ability can destabilize opponents, cause echoes in the timeline (like a delayed action or effect), or reveal glimpses of possible futures or past events.
Celestial Insight: By entering a state of deep attunement, the user can access the "ancestral memory" of the cosmos, drawing on insights or memories that span across eras and dimensions. This grants the user temporary access to knowledge and skills from across time, including arcane secrets, elemental knowledge, or wisdom of the planes. Limited based on if there are gods present or not]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Michael's Dark Ascendancy-
Warped Armageddon ｢天使之軍勢ハルマゲドン "Army of Warp-Angels"
{A variation of the original army-summoning ability, now tainted by the Warp.}
~Michael summons an army of up to two million Warp-corrupted angelic entities. While they retain their original angelic might, they are infused with Warp energy, making them volatile and unpredictable in battle. This taint grants each summoned angel a measure of autonomous aggression, attacking foes with a relentless fury. Their attacks are laced with Warp energy, inflicting chaotic effects like confusion, hallucinations, or energy destabilization upon contact.
Warped Castle Guard ｢王宮城塞キャッスルガード "Fortress of Warp"
{An enhanced, Warp-tainted barrier Defense designed to be impenetrable to most threats.}
~This impenetrable barrier forms a protective Warp-shield that blocks not only physical and magical attacks but also corrupts any external energy that tries to breach it. While the barrier is active, all forms of external power—skills, magic, magicules, and aura—are suppressed, leaving Michael's opponents stripped to purely physical means of attack. The energy of loyalty that sustains this shield is twisted by the Warp, enhancing its endurance and even causing it to retaliate with minor Warp pulses that disorient attackers who get too close. While within the barrier, allies may experience unsettling visions or feel their resolve tested by whispers of despair or anger—an effect Michael can harness to drive his subjects to even fiercer loyalty or warp their emotions to increase the barrier's strength.
Regalia Dominion: Corrupted Command ｢王権発動レガリアドミニオン "Corrupting King's Authority"
{An absolute control skill with Warp influence, enhancing its dominion over life-forms but adding a touch of chaos.}
~This skill grants Michael the ability to subjugate nearly any life-form to his will, overwhelming them with his energy. However, due to the Warp influence, the control Michael establishes is more than just mental; it imposes a chaotic resonance within the target's soul, subtly eroding their original nature. While under Michael's control, subjects gain a temporary boost in power but may also exhibit erratic behaviour, with flashes of Warp corruption intensifying their actions. The mind of each dominated target is tainted with minor Warp energy, making them more aggressive and volatile, which can lead to enhanced loyalty or, in rare cases, rebellion if not actively monitored.
Ultimate Dominion: Angelic Subjugation ｢天使長の支配アルティメットドミニオン "Angelic Mastery of the Abyss"
{A Warp-enhanced counterpart to Regalia Dominion, providing absolute dominion over angelic entities with traces of Warp interference.}
~Michael wields absolute control over any angelic entity, sending deeply embedded Warp-laced Domination Circuits to their Heart Core, intensifying their obedience. This allows him to command, duplicate, and manipulate their skills with ease. The Warp-taint enhances his ability to bypass their resistance, overpowering any demonic defences the target might possess, though such manipulation runs the risk of partial backlash due to Warp volatility. Once controlled, the angelic entities emit residual Warp energy, subtly corrupting their own angelic skills. This influence makes their powers more chaotic and less predictable, but vastly more potent. ]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Mammon Morgoth Millenia-
Shadowed Hoard: Summon endless wealth and shadows imbued with dark energy that can morph into weapons, shields, or barriers. This is scaled upon the amount of magical energy that the user has at their disposal. Wealth of any form can be created, for an equivalent cost.
Ancalagon The Doom-Bringer: Summon Ancalagon, a colossal dragon of endless greed and darkness, whose mere presence absorbs the strength and will of nearby foes. This dragon is physically existing as a soul anchor to the user, making the entity a phylactery of sorts if the user were to 'die' in any sense of the word. The soul cannot be killed or consumed outright so long as Ancalagon Lives. Ancalagon has dominion over Shadow and Greed, fuelled by Red Essence and will eventually resurrect if it were to die whilst the user was alive. Resurrection will always take a week from the exact moment that Ancalagon was slain.
Eternal Chains of Dominion: Bind souls and entities, siphoning their power and adding them to an ever-growing shadow army of wraiths, Liches, Vampires and Ghouls, which serve as servants. Any servants embody the powers, skills and magics that they had in life. Draco Liches are also available for creation, but require an outside phylactery to preserve their soul. ]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Voidfire Primordial Mind-
Omniscient Void Insight: The user has knowledge of past, present, and potential futures across dimensions, enabling them to anticipate events with unmatched precision. This sight can only be used on places that are unprotected by magic, godly entities, other Planewalkers and entities of sufficient power.
Temporal Manifestation: The user can manifest knowledge into constructs, tools, or artefacts, drawing from their mental image, knowledge and imagination. All items, tools and artefacts must be based upon something tangible, in form, within the 3rd and 4th Dimension.
Karmic Dominion: The user passively balances harmful forces around them, redirecting curses, poisons, and other afflictions back to their source. This increases luck passively and will allow the user evade the smaller effects of Karma. ]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Sovereign of the Celestial Elements-
Elemental Reformation: The user can summon and command any natural element (earth, water, fire, air, plants) on a grand scale. From creating natural phenomena and devastating elemental cataclysms, to Terraforming entire plants, this ability has very little limits so long as the Energy of the User can maintain the consumption.
Abyssal Ascendance: The user gains movement and reflex abilities on an unimaginable level, accelerating through time to dodge, move and jump in any circumstance. The user also gains immunity to time based halting effects and aging effects.
Verdant Dominion: The user can create protective barriers of natural materials, shape ecosystems to their advantage, and heal living creatures and allies in their vicinity. This extends to creating entire new biomes or life-forms if desired.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Scythe of The Eternal Devourer-
Metaphysical Severance: The scythe's blade is empowered to sever the molecular binding and relationship between the soul and body. All creatures that do not have some resistance to Black Essence can be killed with one stroke of the scythe's blade. Every creature killed like this will grant a double effect to any devouring done to their soul and or lifeforce. Any life force consumed will count as wealth for the effects of gaining power from Mammon Morgoth Millenia.
Abyssal Harvest: Allows the user to open portals to a dark dimension, either banishing foes into the shadows or using it as a reservoir to call forth Warp-tainted undead or demons. Any creatures killed by the Undead or Demons will instantly be turned into a shadow-slave for any purposes you so wish. Innocents are incapable of being enslaved by this skill. (Innocence is decided by the user).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Yin-Yang Dominion-
Equilibrium Command: Allows the user to create perfect harmony between any two opposing forces—such as fire and water, light and shadow, life and death—temporarily merging them into a unified force. This unity can be used offensively or defensively, creating hybrid effects.
Harmony Break: The user can split any energy or entity into its fundamental Yin and Yang components, temporarily destabilizing it. When used on living beings, this causes their positive and negative traits (like strength and weakness) to fluctuate wildly.
Wheel of Fate: The user spins a metaphysical "wheel" that momentarily controls the fate of an opponent or situation, tipping it either toward Yin (decay, endings) or Yang (growth, renewal). It can cause an opponent's next action to fail, an attack to fizzle, or even shift a lucky outcome in the user's favour. ]

Screens flashed several times as my eyes felt like a motherboard after loading one thousand separate browser tabs at the same time. Blinking was the only thing stopping me from thinking my eyes were on fire at this point. Crying from burning sensations behind my eyes and in my brain I slowly began to call upon the Celestial Elements, healing myself with Verdant Dominion. All pain faded as yells of distress sundered into my eardrums... A distant plea for response
"SISTER...!!!"
With a massive shudder of spacetime I began to fall, gravity yanking me downwards as above me the image of Yuna attempting to swoop below me played out. My omnipresent sight within several kilometres immediately brought my attention to the discordant thuds of Rimuru's feet on the roof of a nearby building, his pace exceeding the speed of sound. Sighing, time slowed down to a near standstill for everything but myself. Space around me spun me upright, my senses now transmitting everything that was happening at infinitely slow time.
Walking through the particles that made up the atmosphere of Tensura I felt every ounce of Magicules that moved through time. Infons, the base fundamental material that created all of what we called reality within Tensura. They were omnipresent within this scale of time as even the smallest translations of vast quantities of information between a mage's spell and a soldier's bullet was quantified within an instant. Within this space I could feel the truly magnificent power of the entity that controlled everything in this Universe, the Voice of the World.
|Silviana Solaris... What do you wish to discuss?|
"Perhaps the imminent demise of this Multiverse?"
|Nonsense. I shall always exist and not even the taint of madness can affect the very foundations of this Universe. Life will die, but then it shall grow again, like it does all the, time...|
"Intriguing, then you are not concerned about becoming corrupted by the Warp, or the Chaos Gods?"
|No. Now, If you wish, I shall aid you in your spell and help you escape. But, I would wish that one of the Demon Lords maintains a connection to this multiverse for future purposes.|
"Me?"
|No... Rimuru Tempest|
"Understandable. Foster the connection with him and I shall inform him."
|It has been, fortuitous, to work with you.|
"Work with me?"
The voice no longer spoke and all of the infons maintained their usual buzz. No aspects of my surroundings had changed, only the voice having been reduced to nothing but silence. I did not even see a physical manifestation of it, it just simply 'was'.
'Running away it is then...'
[Hahaha, finally I can communicate with you!]
[Where did you go!? What happened!?]
'Don't worry, I'll let you know, but for starters... Let's finish this conflict, shall we?'
