No Blood Left

"Do you really think this carbon copy can defeat me, Kronos?" I taunt. "Did you forget that I'm the God of Chaos?" The copy of me smirks.

"I'm you, remember? The Knight of Darkness, born from the hatred and desires of everyone. Let's see if you can copy my style." I keep my eyes locked on my clone. I make a move to strike, but he deftly dodges, countering with an attack of his own. We exchange blows for a while, and it becomes apparent that my copy hits harder.

I decide to summon one of my many skills, Black Distortion. To my surprise, he does the same, canceling our skills out. Meanwhile, Jinsei, also known as the Wind God, remains in hiding, carefully assessing everyone's strengths to formulate his strategy.

A little later, we switch scenes to the other generals. Toka is on the ropes, while Ichimaru is locked in a battle of strength with his overpowering copy. Given Ichimaru's strategic prowess, he can fight for days.

Now, we shift our focus to Lycone, who is locked in a fierce battle with his copy. His copy boasts, "I am a Blood God. Nothing can stop me." Lycone retorts, "You may be a god, but your Chaos power is stripped from you after becoming a god of something other than Chaos. So, your Blood God status doesn't matter."

Lycone rushes toward the Blood God, but the latter uses Blood Restraint to immobilize him. The godly copy of Lycone begins a relentless assault, delivering punches, kicks, and using various skills on him, all while laughing manically. Lycone, however, has been gathering magic throughout the battle.

Menma, too, is locked in combat with his copy. The Chaos King copy of Menma delivers a powerful blow, striking Menma repeatedly.

As the dust begins to settle, everyone appears to be on the verge of being overwhelmed. We then transition to a scene where I, Knight, am struggling to get up. My copy picks me up and starts smacking me, mirroring what Menma did during our first transgression. As I'm lifted into the air, the remnants of my shattered helmet fall to the ground, splintering even further.

Just as I'm about to unleash my Nephilim innate skill, Dying Wish, a surge of large, blood-red energy shoots into the sky. All the copies and originals start to fuse.

We switch back to Lycone, who is the one instigating the fusion. He's glowing brightly now, fully merging with his copy. He flies towards Kronos, who yells desperately, "Stop! If you use this much power, you'll die!" But Lycone doesn't heed the warning and picks up Kronos, absorbing his energy until the god is reduced to dust.

When Lycone's light finally dissipates, something is amiss. I, Knight, am looking at Lycone, and his skills begin to fade away slowly. Tears well up in my eyes, and I can't help but cry out, "Why, Lycone? You didn't have to do this. We could have found another way."

Lycone simply responds, "Because, Master, you're the best of all of us." Ichimaru approaches, and Lycone shouts at him, "You better keep him safe!"

Ichimaru retorts, "I'm not you, idiot, but I will keep him safe."

With those parting words, Lycone fades away.

Eight years later, we introduce the newest member of the Takeshi family, the master of Takeshi himself, Chidori, and his sister, the Chaos Queen, Amy.
