Ayensi Versus Ten of the Twelve Guardians

Ayensi Sole Tiowen stepped forward and this incited the wariness of the ten Guardians.

"Creation, Spirit, and Peace, we'll fortify and strengthen Matter's defense!" Life shouted as he took lead.

Creation, who had emerged from the dust, fully naked at first, but at the next moment, clothing was created from nothing as it covered him, he nodded. Including him, the four of them used everything that they have to strengthen Matter.

Simultaneously, they want it to be flexible enough to use its strength. It was Peace's job to make an equilibrium to all those changes and benefit each other.

"Void, Elements, and Death support Power and Destruction in their offense!"

Nobody complained as they know that Life is the wisest of them all.

"Creation, get Power another weapon." Life continued.

"... I can't create something as sturdy and sharp as his original battle-ax... but here..." the silent Creation spoke with a humble voice as he created a weapon similar to Power's battle-ax as if it was nothing.

"Thanks, it's fine." Power replied, knowing full well that his previous battle-ax was one of its kind, before receiving the new weapon.

Ayensi, regardless, continued walking slowly, letting them get ready. He was steady and seemingly unstoppable at his casual walk.

"You'll regret that!" Life growled before continuing without hesitation, "Spirit, Void, and Death help Destruction's attack afterward while Element, Peace, Creation, and I will help Power while Matter defends!"

As the Guardians who stood at the peak of the world, they never, once in their entire life, did they need to work together. That is why they are relying on Life's instructions to make things work.

Due to his instructions, the humanoid form of Matter was strengthened to the point that it would be able to withstand Power's full strength.

Meanwhile, Power's weapon was strengthened by the elements. Fire blazed from it, its durability increased, wind resistance becomes no more, and many other benefits. With Life's help, the elemental power within gained intelligence, adding another manpower.

On the other, Destruction readied his ability as it was powered by the other Guardians.

'Incredible!' Guardian and Destruction thought as their strength exponentially increased.

"There's a connection between all things, I'm just taking advantage of it." Life explained but the solemnity from his eyes didn't fade.

He then continued, "Once Peace is ready, Power goes first then Destruction. If that doesn't end well, we'll repeat while Matter defends."

"I'm finished." Death immediately said and everyone else followed. They all waited for Peace as he was the one finding the equilibrium of all the different kinds of energy added together.

That was his specialty, thus, it didn't take him long before his eyes shone as he opened them, "Ready"

A burst of energy came within Matter, Power, and Destruction. The individual energies earlier that were doing their own thing in their own area were now complementing each other.

"Amazing!" Life exclaimed. Together with his messy white hair, wrinkled face, and random white fabric as clothing, he looked like a mad old man with his wide smile.

"So this is what happens if we worked together... not bad." Void, the bouncy little girl on top of a strange bubble laughed.

With Peace's signal, Power had already jumped. Shocked by his own strength, Power almost failed to control it. However, just who is he? The Guardian of Power! How could he fail to control power itself!?

Thus, with a swing of his new ax, fire blaze like a living dragon - fierce and violent. Power felt no resistance as the wind was making way. By the time he was at the peak of his jump, his weight multiplied and the ax on top of him swung down with all of that force!

His war cry didn't sound this time as there was no medium for it to travel.

Meanwhile, Destruction had already created an orb full of conflicting energy.

'This could possibly annihilate the whole Ressuim alone!' he thought in fear of holding such power. He made sure and concentrated to only hit the single individual in front of them.

Knowing that it wouldn't hit Power, Destruction blasted the orb at the front, making an obsidian black beam, annihilating everything in its way, even time and space itself.

'There's no way this wouldn't kill anyone that isn't a God!' Death predicted.

With two attacks in front of him, Ayensi continued walking until the fire dragon from Power's new battle-ax reached him first. Just the fire dragon's presence alone was enough to burn everything within that area, making it look like hell

However, Ayensi didn't even look at it as it engulfed him, being the advent of Power's attack, the battle-ax followed right after with a force that was extremely more powerful than the last time. Power dropped down like a meteor.

BOOM!*

As the blade connected to its target, the fire immediately dissipated along with the scenery of hell, leaving only the molten ground.

The wave of force from Power's attack traveled down, caving a whole kilometer of diameter on the ground in the next instant!

At the same time, the dark beam passed through Power and went to Ayensi.

'I only destroy what I need to.' Destruction was successful at pointing at the right target.

The strength of that force made the new weapon shatter on the spot and Power himself bounced off before smoothly landing in front of the other Guardians!

"That should've finished him!" Life shouted.

Everyone looked at the very center of the crater where Ayensi should be sliced in half or being obliterated if he survived the first attack.

Power's eyes widened, "He's unharmed!?"

"Wait, my energy orb has yet to dissipate. Look, it's eating him." Destruction calmly said.

In the middle of the crater, Ayensi was very surprised.

'The Guardian of Destruction reached the level of the Dark Energy. Very good. Dark Energy is the origin of time. Time is the ultimate destruction of everything. With time, everything will be destroyed by entropy. At the very end, at the death of the universe, every molecule will become lightyears away from each other. That is the ultimate destruction made by time.'

While he does nothing, only recalling a piece of knowledge that he treats as elementary, the dark energy devours his whole being.

"We did it!" Spirit exclaimed while Death was not surprised.

"Looks like I didn't have to do anything." Matter's comfortable voice resounded.

Destruction had a very impressed face, "My ability had reached another level with a little help from y-"

But his words were interrupted by a confident voice.

"Sorry, but down to my very atomic level, I've quite tough." a voice coming from the dark energy took everyone's attention.

"Impossible!" Death was dumbfounded. As the Guardian of Death, it is a given that he knows when a living being dies or will die, "He's continuously defying death!"

Life trembled and curled up with hands over his head like a coward, "I feel great fear!" he teared up.

Ayensi then came out of the deteriorating energy and dusted it off like it was nothing before he continued to walk.

"... even his clothes are unharmed..." Creation commented, not knowing how that happened under Destructions amplified ability.
