Ehit's End

Ehit's realm.

An ethereal, heavenly place where magic was rich and reality was his bitch. Life here was perfect and he could be and have anything he wanted.

Ah~ Being the god of this world is the best!

To think once he had been a mere wizard..... Escaping the collapse of his old world. Weak. Pathetic. With his body destroyed and his soul in tatters.

He remembered the relief that washed over him when his soul found ourchase in a land such as this, so vibrant, so rich in magic, so... Full of underdeveloped savages for him to use. Even without his body, just a soul held together by magic and sheer willpower, he had dominated them.

Ants. That's what they were.

And he was their leader their king.... And soon....he was a god!

Petty creatures worshipped him, lived and died at his whim, toys to entertain himself with.

Who could have imagined this tide of fortune?

And then like a treasure on his lap, this intruder had come into this world with his strange talents and even stranger artifacts.

Ehit believed it now.

He was destined for greatness.

"And once that pesky little extradimensional intruder is dealt with.... Once those magical artifacts of his are mine..... I will conquer world after world till all the worlds are under my dominion!" Ehit cackled to himself as he watched his loyal pawns batter the invisible shields of his enemy with glee. He could imagine it now.... With the intruder's body in his possession, with a body worthy of his great power.... He would finally be free to climb to greater heigh-

Suddenly a voice interrupted his happy thoughts.

"I'd say you picked really poor timing for a supervillain monologue...." Ehit turned to see the intruder, startled, but kept his composure.

".... but given that this is probably the author's doing, I can't really blame you for that. The hero entering the villains chambers as he is making his villainous speech is pretty cliche. For everything else however.... " The intruder produced a metallic spider with a bulbous head and odd fin shaped tail, setting it on the ground.

Ehit raised an eyebrow.

Odd.

Probably another of his artifacts.

But somehow he couldn't feel any magic coming from it.

Hah. Stupid intruder. His feeble mind cannot even comprehend his own mistakes.

"To have come so far into my realm, don't expect to leave alive. You are a fool!"

The intruder just smiled softly and pointed to the odd metal spider as it lit up.

"And you are dead."

Ehit looked at the thing again and scoffed. Still no magic.

How can something without magic-

Then, the realm shook.

What?

He moved to stabilize the realm but ...

"My magic!" He gasped and looked down at his hands when he spotted a shadow cast upon him.

A chill ran down his spine as he looked up to see the intruder, looming over him with a malicious grin, his teeth ever expanding into funerary rows of headstones, bared and distorted by a deep, terrifying power inside his gaping maw that felt like it would swallow the entirety of existence, all consumed into it's eldritch hunger unfathomable.

There was nothing left in this world but the colossal maw, the endless roiling mass of eyes, the terror, the teeth the dread of, the teeth, the eyes, the-no, No,NO, NONONONONONONOOOOOO-

He didn't realize when he had begun to scream but he certainly realised he couldn't stop. Not now. Not ever.

As the intruder uttered a final word.

"Boo."

And then, the world warped and snapped like a bowstring stretched too taut. There was a flash, a pop, darkness and pain as he screamed, his mind melting in it's final moments of realization. A pain of an existential level that couldn't be described, least of all now.

Then there was nothing.

.

"That was fucked up." My clone greeted me as I returned to the lab.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Not complaining." He clarified, "Just stating a fact."

"You're just jelly you didn't get to eat him."

He shrugged and sent me the formula to coalesce my recently acquired power into a divinity.

"Done already?" I looked over the formula, one that had been refined and refined, over and over the past few months to get this. An infohazard. The final finished product. Before it'd have taken hours and super advanced methods to create a divine seed.

Now? It was simplicity itself. Even a farmhand with enough literacy could achieve apotheosis with this. In fact it's how we knew. He had given it along with a potion of condensed mana to some simp named Westley, who wanted to get with his oneitis Buttercup, stupid name by the way-

"Hold on, is this the duo from-"

The clone nodded with a devious grin.

"Oh you just love ruining perfectly good stories don't you?" I chuckled.

"Guilty as charged."

Suffice to say, the shit worked. And as a side, got a very loyal farming god as a spare snack and errand boy for us. Or so his report says.

"Impressive."

"Duh. I haven't been sitting on my ass petting rabbits y'know. Unlike a certain someone." He teased.

I coughed.

"It was an integral part of the mission." I emphasized, congealing my godseed as we spoke, flooding the room with divine light upon my apotheosis, "Very important."

"Show off." The clone scoffed.

"So are you. We're the same person." I pointed out, "Now where's the snack?"

"I ate him already. And reconfigured his little bride into a cloning chamber too."

"And you call me fucked up."

"Well, that part was necessary. The god semen wasn't taking to an artificial womb and you know, two birds, one stone. That whole thing."

"Just shameful." I shook my head, playfully admonishing him.

"Well whatever." He huffed, "What are you going to do about that army. Don't tell me you're going to eat the Noints?"

"Nah." I replied, "I mean, I'll eat one, but the rest? I have a better idea."

"Turn them against the alliance?" He asked.

"Bingo!" I laughed, "Wouldn't their faces be a sight to see when their 'angels', their god's holy warriors turn against them and their stupid crusade.

"I would've just nuked them. We have so many nuetrino bombs just lying around, gathering dust."

"Oh pish posh. You're too trigger happy. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the suffering of your victims." I waved him off.

He rolled his eyes.

"Yup. Not at all serial killer-y. Well, I'm leaving. Just remember to clean up after yourself." He winked.

"Yeah, sure- wait a minute!" This guy!

"I'm not going to-Shut up me. Get out."

"Yes yes, I'll leave you alone now. Don't jack your weiner off." He quipped, jumping into the portal as I sent a cup flying at him.

"I said I'm not going to- ugh. I'm annoying."

Never should have given my clones autonomy.

I shook my head, and turned to the screen showing the crusaders outside.

Let's wipe the board clean, shall we?

I used my new divine authority to overwrite Ehit's control over the battle maid dolls, turning them against the crusaders, and watched the chaos unfold as my alarm beeped.

"Meeting with elders in three minutes 59 seconds." The AI informed me, "It is advised that you proceed there posthaste to leave an amicable impression on the local humanoids."

"Yes, yes. I'm on it." I sighed, rerouting the feed to my glasses.

I cracked my knuckles.

Time finish up with this world.

Then....

I can finally return to the main body.

Now if only the traveler stopped fucking around for a one goddamn minute and did his part, we'd have been done here ages ago.

I sighed.

I miss my little babies. It's been so long since I hugged Star or saw the twinkle in Riley's eyes as she told me about her experiments. I miss playing Mario Cart with Ace and Saraswati. I miss just...all of Wanda.

All the while he gets to be with Offee. And Yue. And play with the parallel reality version of our kids.

It's not fair.

Yup. I'll finish up here and then I'm going right over. It's about time he shared some of his happiness with us.

It's about time someone took charge and brought this plan back on the line.

And if not him, then it'll be me.
