Chapitre 46: Fighting A Celestial
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07. Just uploaded Ch 60 last night.
Two chapters today! The second one will be uploaded soon!
Just wanted to say. When I said Chhaya has a lightning scar, I meant to say a Lichtenberg Scar, which happens when you're hit by lightning. Chhaya is not Harry Potter, unfortunately. That was my fault, so.. cheers!
On to the chapter!
~~~
The half a kilometre tall Celestial above us, was floating in the air, standing still. I could feel it's Cosmic Energy flowing all over the planet, looking for the traces of Power Stone's energy that used to be in Chhaya.
But.. it can't find it now. And how could it? I'd absorbed it within myself, and there's no way that my Cosmic Energy is getting sensed by anyone not a Watcher, or above.
And the miniscule amount of Power within Chhaya was not enough to distinguish between the other pieces of residual energy.
Turning to a still terrified Chhaya, I ask, "Do you know where the Stone is?"
Chhaya fearfully nods, but doesn't say anything. Seeing that Kali is just as terrified as her sister, I conjure a Vibranium glove, and treat it with my Cosmic Energy. The Vibranium, which is already pretty much bathed in Power Stone's energy, will ensure that the Energy of the Power stone does not harm her.. much.
But, if I can't sense the Power Stone, then it's definitely well hidden. So I'm already a little reluctant in having her bring it out. Alas, I need the Stone if I want to kill the Celestial by myself.
Slapping Chhaya softly, I bring her attention to me, and hand her the glove. I order, "Take this, find the Power Stone, and bring it to me. I'll stall the Celestial."
Chhaya stares at me fearfully, glances at the still frozen Celestial, and asks, "How will you fight.. that? The Sky God is big!"
Smirking half heartedly, I answer, "My dear Chhaya, I'm an Elder God. This.. is not my limit."
Keeping a tight lid on my Cosmic Energy, I try and do something that I haven't done before, but I've seen my mother do. Once.
Sending a lot of Magic to my limbs, and all over my body, I focus on one thought. 'GROW!' As a green glow surrounds my entire body, I close my eyes for a second, to keep my focus on growing in height.
Thankfully, my control over my Magic is very good, so it works as expected. I slowly start to see the girls in front of me get smaller and smaller, and see the ground get further away from my eyes. Floating into the sky, before I can break the mountain, I look at my growing body.
"This is weird!" I softly say, once I'm a hundred feet tall, but I see Chhaya and Kali hold their ears in pain. Rolling my eyes, as I still keep getting bigger, I use my magic to connect to their minds, and say, "Leave! Bring the stone as quickly as you can! I won't be able to Stall him for long!"
Distractedly seeing the girls fly away, I float even more above and go towards the Black Celestiknull. Suddenly though, I feel my height stop growing, which was now a lot more than I expected, but still a lot smaller than I needed.
Shaking my head, I pull the axes from behind me, which have grown with me, and fly towards the Celestial, who is now about twice my height.
For a second, the 600 meter tall Celestiknull looks at me, a 350 meter tall Elder God, and I feel his Cosmic Energy scanning me. I keep a tighter lid on my Cosmic Energy, allowing him to sense the God part of my DNA.
Turning away from me, it turns towards the planet, and asks, "The Power Stone? Where is it?"
"Buddy.." I whisper, loud enough that he can hear it, and say, "The Power Stone is not here. The one who used it here already threw it into deep space."
The Celestiknull's eyes take on a grey hue for a second, and then it returns to white. He snaps his head towards me, raises his hand and yells, "No. You lie!"
Welp, I tried.
As soon as I feel him gathering Cosmic Energy for an attack, I raise my hands in front of me, and summon a Green Tao Mandala Shield, and not a moment too soon, as I feel his Cosmic attack try and destroy my entire body.
While the shield mostly does it's job, some energy passes through it like butter. Gritting my teeth, I absorb as much of the energy as I can, and let the rest splash on my body.
1. I'm also a Celestial, so when he aimed to destroy a measly God, it didn't work as he expected it. Plus, the Apocalypse armour was made for Energy absorption.
2. I'm the son of Gaea, bitch! Ain't no way a God killing wave of energy is killing me, an Elder God!
He stops attacking with the Cosmic blast, and I hear him mumble, "That's not possible!"
Smirking, I grow even bigger, now about 500 meters tall, thanks to the new Energy intake, and mumble, "Darling, you have no idea what's possible."
And then, I vanish.
Appearing right in front of his head, I send the recently absorbed Cosmic Energy to my fist, and punch as hard as I can. My Cosmic Energy imbued fist lands right on the cheek of the armoured Celestial with a thud, sending wind roaring for miles and miles.
Unfortunately, it does not have as big of an effect as I'd hoped, and the Celestial only moves a few arm lengths away from me.
Scowling at the less than useful punch, I summon my Axes to my hand, and send the remaining absorbed Cosmic Energy to them. Until I get the Power Stone, this is my way of reducing the advantage the Celestiknull's has on me.
The Celestiknull turns his neck towards me, and fires a beam of black Energy at me. From his eyes. His. Eyes!
Yeah, I didn't have to sense it's Energy to know that it's bad news if it touches me.
I summon a wind shield to try and divert the Energy beam, but the energy just passes through my shield as if it was paper, and speeds towards me.
"Fuck!" I curse, and spin around the energy, and using the momentum of the spin, I slam my right axe in his shoulder.
CLINK!
The axe slams into the shoulder, and passes about my little finger's width, through the armour. Smiling at a successful attack, I bring the second axe to hammer the axe even deeper.
However, Celestiknull now knows that my axes can harm his armour, although not very deeply. So, before I can slam my left axe on my right, I feel his fist in my stomach, sending me flying towards the planet.
BOOM!
I crash into the ground with a tremendous force, sending dust flying everywhere. By Queen, does my body hurt! That one punch hurt more than my death did! Fucking Celestials, man!
Healing my body using my Magic, but not feeling my axes in my hands, I open my hands and summon them. One axe lands in my left hand, but my other hand remains empty.
Instead, a giant foot lands on my stomach and chest, sending me deeper into the Earth. Fuck! First you punch me this hard, and now step on me?! This shit hurts!
Looking up, with my eyes squinting, I see the Celestiknull, only now he looked a bit different. His face, which looked like the usual Celestial armour head, only Black, now looked like it had teeth. Like Venom.
He looks down at me, and grins, I shit you not, he grins. He says, "You're strong for one such young, Godchild. And the weapon you wield is sharper than most Divine Weapons I've seen. But you forget your place, God! And that, is BENEATH ME!"
Knull! He's possessing the Celestial!
"Who- uck! – who are you? How are you doing this?" I ask, looking for a way out of here. I could feel his Symbiote trying to infect me, trying to possess me. But somehow, it was slowed.
Waving my Axe, - MY AXE!- in front of my face, which shouldn't have been possible, Knull leans down, and whispers, "You won't need to know my name, Godchild. You're going to die anyway!"
And then, he brings the Axe down, with the aim being my head. Knowing that if the axe hits, I'm dead, I bring my left axe in front of me.
'Mother give me strength!' I think in my mind, praying that this works, and bring my axe in the path of the incoming axe slash. And then, I send Magic all over my body.
"AAAARGHHHHH!!" I yell in effort, as I send a lot of my Lightning through the axe, as well as through my body, and towards Knull.
"SCREEEECH!!" The Celestiknull yells, as the blackened skin starts thrashing around on it's body, and it spasms because of my lightning.
Thankfully, my Lightning attack meant that I was now free from Celestiknull's foot, and free to get up.
Unfortunately, my axe did not manage to block Knull's attack completely, just divert it. And now I have my other axe stabbed right in my shoulder, through the Apocalypse Armour. Fucking. Great!
Oh my God this axe hurts! Fuck fuck fuck!
Getting up, I pull the axe out of my shoulder, grunting in pain, and scowl. My magic was low, that last attack having taken a lot out of me. There wasn't enough magic in me to even heal myself right now!
Thankfully, I know where I can get more Magic from.
Putting my palm on the ground, I whisper, "I don't know if you're alive, but I need the magic of Nature. I apologize for not waiting for permission." And I pull some of the Magic from the planet under me, and use it to heal my shoulder wound.
The Celestiknull, meanwhile, who was still thrashing around, stops doing it, and snaps his head towards me. He yells, "You removed my connection to my Lord?! HOW DARE YOU!" and starts running towards me, his feet causing tremors with each step.
I was still kneeling down, as I wasn't completely healed yet, and I wasn't done absorbing magic from the planet below. It wasn't the same as Earth or Donna, but I could make do for now.
Within a second, the now not possessed, but still crazy Celestial reaches my position, and punches at me head. Dodging to the right, I spin around, and slash my axe on the Celestial's outstretched hand, despite knowing that it's useless.
As if in slow motion, I see the Celestial's hand passing my head, and I see the axe that was once in my shoulder, approaching his elbow with a swing of my hand.
Then, it happens.
Instead of the expected sound of my axe hitting the Celestial Armour covered by the Symbiote of Knull, I hear a different sound, of my axe cutting into metal, and see my axe passing through the Celestial's elbow.
"What?" I whisper, shocked, as the forearm of the Celestial falls down, untethered to the arm.
"AAARRGHHH!" The Celestiknull yells in pain, sending a wave of Cosmic Energy out from all over his body. The Energy wave throws me a few steps back, but the Celestiknull capitalizes on it, and back hands my face.
"Ow!" I mumble, as I land on the ground at least 10 miles away from where I just was. Unfortunately, this is my limit for now, and unless I want to destroy the planet, I cannot absorb the magic within it.
So this is it, huh. 260 years is all I could live before being forced to turn Celestial. I was already beginning to shrink in height, not having enough Magic to maintain the bigger size.
In the distance, I can see the Celestiknull caressing his forearm, as it now lay useless, on the ground. The point where my Axe cut into it still glowed white, with his Cosmic Energy, only it looked like flames. White flames.
The Celestiknull snaps his head towards my slowly shrinking form, and he starts stomping towards me.
Looking up, I glare at the approaching enemy, and get up. Slapping my cheek, I say, "Well, it's all good if this one dies anyway, right? Knull doesn't have a connection to him now, my Lightning took care of that."
So, I stand up, my height now all of 10 feet, and summon my Axes back to my hand.
Round 1 was won by him, round 2 by me. Now, time for round 3.
Suspecting that I know how my Axe managed to cut the Celestial's hand, I get an idea. I cut my palm with the left Axe, I bleed on it, and whisper, "I bless thee with the blood of an Elder God, the blood of Gaea!"
And then, I fly towards the Celestial. This time, I have a chance of actually winning. A small one, but it's better than nothing.
