THE LORD OF EXISTENCE (5)

---clash---boooom---

The upgraded hellish halberd and the palm of the lord of existence clashed with each other. Later event was followed by a huge explosion.

...

---boom(x_)---

[What the heck is going on here? How can there be continuous explosions coming from a single spot?]

The hellish halberd of the lord of afterlife and the palms of the lord of existence clashed nonstop. But, instead of collision sounds, the atmosphere was filled with sounds of explosions. Both the lords were using aura techniques vividly. Dark reigner and godmother were shocked. They didn't even last for ten minutes. But the weakest origin entity dragged the fight for half an hour. Dark reigner said while looking gloomy, "Martha, how long did we last together?!"

Godmother said while looking gloomy as well, "Less than ten minutes...!"

He attempted again, "And how long did that fellow last?!"

She replied with the same expression, "Since the past half an hour...!"

[That's because he is smart. He is using precise techniques and perfect strategies while facing the ugly mug. What you people displayed is sheer power.]

---booooom---

There was a sudden explosion and the space got filled with flames. The explosion was on the scale of a city. From the flames, the lord of afterlife came out in a falling motion. His ghost transformation was undone. He turned back to his former appearance. His back was about to crash on the huge rocks.

---dash---

That's when dark reigner stepped in and caught him from falling. He said, "You have done enough. Now leave it to us and think of a way to seal it!", and put him down. The lord of afterlife came into a sitting posture.

---flash---

Godmother arrived and gave a pat on the back and said, "You are the smartest of us all. And it will be like that forever!"

---step---step---

---step---step---step---

The dark reigner and godmother stepped forward. Godmother stood a step in front of dark reigner.

---step---step---step---step—

Kriassilis walked and stood in front of Martha. He stood in between them. Madrona asked, "Aren't you going to rest? Your body is fatigued as of now!"

---flick---

There was a bottle in his right hand that spawned out of thin air. He then drank it whole and the bottle vanished right when he threw it away. His wounds were now healed completely. The dark reigner attempted, "If you have such portions from the start, then you should have given us the same earlier!"

"I wanted you two to have a rough idea of how to handle this ugly lord!", said the lord of afterlife.

All three origin entities came into their battle stance. The flames were slowly decreasing. And the lord of existence became visible.

---whoosh---

The dark reigner wrapped his fists with darkened white flames, Martha brought out her darkened light aura sword and the lord of afterlife transformed and his weapon upgraded. The three entities charged simultaneously at high speed.

---dash---

---flash---

---bzzt---

The lord of existence stretched both its arms.

---flip---

The two arms now became six arms. The three of them were spellbound. Godmother yelled, "Our powers, weird abilities and combined authorities. It truly is behind everything that happened until now. Even the crooks!"

Dark reigner yelled, "Now is not the time to realise. Focus on our coordination!"

---dash---flash---bzzt---dash---flash---bzzt---dash---flash---bzzt---

All three of them were fighting in sync. Their movements formed patterns that looked like constellations from afar. I was not even able to see what was happening. The lord of existence remained in the same spot. All it did was parrying and dodging the attacks.

---dash---flash---bzzt---dash(x2)---flash(x2)---bzzt(x2)---dash(x3)---flash(x3)---bzzt(x3)---___and so on---

[What the heck is going on? They can increase their speed even more. The count of the constellation patterns is doubled, tripled, no... They are still increasing.]

The speed of the three origin entities continued to rise higher and higher.

---smack---slash---pierce---smack(x2)---slash(x2)---pierce(x2)---smack(x3)---slash(x3)---pierce(x3)---___and so on---

In proportion to their speed, their attacks also increased. The smacks of dark reigner's fists, slashes of godmother's ultimate sword and piercings of lord of afterlife's upgraded halberd. All three of them multiplied. The ugly lord was unable to react to it. It then let out a huge scream.

"Rooooooaaaaaarrrrr!!!!"

The three of them stepped back and evaded the impact of the scream by protecting their bodies with aura. It then charged towards them in anger.

---flick---

It then got stuck in mid-space. It was unable to charge forward. The piercings of the upgraded hellish halberd radiated black and white flames within its body. The lord of afterlife took charge of the next move.

---bzzt---flick---

He charged towards the lord of existence and came into a face-to-face position. A transparent bottle with a knife attached to the position of its cap was spawned out of thin air. In a way, it can be called a huge syringe where the needle is replaced by a knife.

[What kind of syringe is that?]

---pierce---flick---

He pierced the lord of existence in the middle. And everything became silent. The lord of existence dissolved into thin air. The bottle was filled with black smoke fluctuating on the inside. Dark reigner and godmother came towards lord of afterlife. All of a sudden,

---rumble---

The whole neutral dimension began to shake. Rocks began to clash upon each other more vividly. The sun which became a huge pile of liquid started to move towards the place where the three origin entities were standing. Even the magma of the crumbled planet began to wave towards them.

---crash---crash(x3)---crash(x2)---crash(x5)---

The rocks that were clashing before now began to crash on the spot of the origin entities like a ton of missiles.

---dash(x4)---flash(x5)---smack(x_)---slash(x_)---

The origin entities evaded the rocks continuously. Dark reigner was smacking the rocks and godmother was slashing them. Together, they were protecting the lord of afterlife who was holding the bottle that sealed the lord of existence.

---splash---

The magma began to reign on them.

---whoosh---

Both dark reigner and godmother opened a portal to another spot in the neutral dimension and took the lord of afterlife into it.

---splaaaash---

The sun that turned into liquid charged towards them.

---whoosh---splash---whoosh---splash---whoosh---splash---___and so on---

They kept on teleporting from one place to another continuously via portals and the magma continued to splash on wherever they landed. At one particular second, the lord of afterlife loosened his grip due to the fatigue of holding the lord of existence in the bottle. The bottle left his hand all of a sudden and got drenched in magma. Dark reigner and godmother were gritting their teeth with the situation becoming worse.

---boom---

The magma where the bottle got drenched let out an explosion. Black smoke emerged from the magma. The smoke was turning into the lord of existence. The three origin entities teleported themselves to another spot. Madrona stated, "We lost our one and only chance. What other options do we have?"

Martha responded, "Only the smartest can answer it!"

They both looked at Kriassilis. He raised his head and said, "There is only one way left!"

Dark reigner reacted, "What is it? Hurry up!"

The lord of existence said, "To seal it by sacrificing all our authorities!"

[Using powers by sacrificing authorities, huh? I did that kind of thing when I was a Demon god.]

Godmother said, "Do you even know what you are talking about? Sacrifice our authorities? If we do that we have to start everything from the beginning. Everyone who knew about us will forget us!"

Dark reigner said, "The authorities are the reason why everyone remembers and acknowledges us as supreme entities. Travelling everywhere and then regaining those authorities would take trillions of years!"

[So, the authorities are what makes them well known throughout the entirety of existence?]

Lord of afterlife exclaimed, "That's the only way we can use to seal that thing. And, even if we lose our authorities, we would still have our sovereignties. It would take us at most millions of years to regain those authorities!"

He then took out a black bottle that was having a sharp edge on the side of the cap. It looked similar to the one he used to seal the lord of existence previously. He elaborated, "I created this bottle during the first 'War of Origins' to seal you both. But I changed my mind after the war and never used it. Now, it evolved into an artifact with infinite potential!"

Dark reigner and godmother looked at each other and sighed. They had no choice but to agree since it was the way of the smartest origin entity. They then turned towards the lord of existence that was regenerating into its former shape. The lord of existence was enraged to its core. It shouted, "Kill... I'll kill you!!!!"

---booooom---

All three of them, let out yellow flames from their bodies. The omission of the flames from their bodies resulted in a huge explosion.

[So that's how they look when they use their powers while sacrificing their authorities as a price, huh?]

---dash---smack---

Dark reigner charged and smacked the lord of existence on the face. The lord of existence was unable to notice it.

---flash---slash---

The godmother charged at the back of the lord of existence and slashed her symmetrically.

---bzzt---pierce(x7)---

The lord of afterlife descended from above and pierced the lord of existence, whose body was split into half, seven times consecutively.

[I never thought using powers while sacrificing authorities as a fee would be this much advantageous.]

---clench---whoooossh---

Lord of afterlife took out the black bottle and transmitted his power into it. The bottle began to suck the lord of existence particle-wise. Dark reigner and godmother also transmitted their powers into the bottle. The yellow flames got absorbed by the bottle and the lord of existence got sucked in more and more.

---flick---

At once, the lord of existence got sucked in completely and the yellow flames still continued to get sucked for a few seconds and everything became silent.

[It's over, huh?]
