Chapter 202: Battle of Gods (3)
—
Neji didn't manage to go far as the clone and original Fotia followed him, making it hard for him to stay unharmed.
Though the clone lacked the Status Cutter, it had a fiery sword of its own that it swung at Neji.
Neji grumbled, dodging by teleporting as he tried to drag this battle until he could use Absolute Rule again. However, Fotia was faster now. Faster than him.
Though he had teleported, the cheat goddess had managed to predict his trajectory and her clone had appeared on that spot before he could reappear.
He managed to dodge the attack of the clone, dealing a heavy blow and making the clone vanish into a puff of fire before he barely managed to dodge original Fotia.
He teleported again, hoping to get away, but Fotia herself had Teleported behind him by the time he could reappear.
He tried to flee instantly, but before he could think straight… he had a sword coming out of his chest
Fotia, she had pushed Status Cutter through his back, as it came out of his chest.
This scene… It was the one from Nighteye's Future Sight.
[Beep! Beep! Emergency! Unknown critical attack detected! The Gamer's "Status" was severely damaged!]
[15,700 levels have been lost!]
["Fusion" has dropped to level 6500!]
[You have dropped to level 3290!]
[Kurai has dropped to level 3210!]
[You have lost 40 quirks!]
[All the other quirks have dropped down to levels tremendously!]
Neji yelled in pain, furious as he tried to grab the Goddess, but now not only was she faster than before- he was also slower.
The goddess very easily slashed him again, this time only luck allowed him to avoid a fatal blow as the sword phrased through his left arm.
However, the result wasn't anything to celebrate upon.
[Unknown attack detected! The Gamer's "Status" was damaged!]
[You have lost 6000 levels!]
["Fusion" has dropped to level 500!]
[You have dropped to level 290!]
[Kurai has dropped to level 210!]
[...Something strange arises!]
A weird message suddenly popped up.
[The unknown attack has struck the curse- "The Curse of the Primordial"! A crack has formed on the curse's defence!]
…To think he will hear delightful news from this hateful scenario. Maybe taking more slash would be able to completely destroy the curse, but he wasn't crazy enough to test that out.
He was just fucking level 290 now! Although he had seen worse in Future Sight, and therefore accepted this fate long before, he still couldn't be angrier.
This bitch had to die, right now!
Now that most of the Gods were dead with a dozen or so unconscious, and he was sure he would die at this rate, it was time for Neji to do 'it'. Finally take the risk.
"Hahahaha! Look at you! So idiotic! So dumb! So fucking retarded!"
The goddess suddenly found the scene funny and didn't attack him immediately. She was mocking him, now that he wasn't in a state to fight back. Neji knew her type, so he had expected this development already and had planned this accordingly.
"Say, how do you feel now, eh retard??"
The goddess pestered him, her wicked grin wide but Neji wasn't listening.
'Kurai… Are you ready?'
He was talking in his mind.
'Yes, papa!'
'Good, it's time for our first suicide bombing.'
Neji let his vanishing dragon armour disappear, his civilian clothes coming out from beneath.
"Wha-? Are you surrendering?!" The goddess blinked at the sight, seemingly shocked for a second before she laughed more. "Cope harder, fucktard! You were right when you said you are different from that other bastard, he wasn't a pussy at least! Ahaha, look at your face, what a pussyhead!"
"…"
Neji's Personal Super Armour materialised around him, in the form of his previous moon knight armour, as the Goddess suddenly frowned.
"What are you trying this time?" She clenched the hilt of her sword. "Ugh fuck, I can't trust gamers, I am finishing this."
That was a wise choice, unfortunately, she was too late.
The infused spell of this armour- [Adaptability], allowed Neji's powers to channel through it like it would on his normal body, such as Permeation. However, as a side effect, it also kept Neji safe from any "self-harming" attacks. Such as an explosion created from his own quirk or mana.
Although he wasn't sure if it would be able to protect him against what he was about to do so now, as this was one of the things even his Future Sight could never see, he had no choice but to take the risk.
"Ahh, I wanted to play with you a lot more, but I can't take risks with a gamer." The goddess raised her sword at him. "Farewell, retarded cunt."
Why was a goddess so vulgar?
But hey, wasn't that a useless question since dead bodies couldn't answer?
Neji clasped his palm in front of him, charging mana into a ball before using a spell, Spatial Magic- Blackhole Creation.
The blue ball of mana trembled, turning dark, darker, darkest and then blank. It dispersed into nothingness, the ball replaced by a hole in the existence.
"...Hah! A mere black hole!? And here I was getting scared." The goddess laughed, but she didn't lower her weapon. Rather, she moved to finish this.
She was right though, this much would do nothing to her. A black hole couldn't harm a being like her. However, Neji wasn't going to attack her with just this.
No, far from that.
Now that he knew his hypothesis was correct and he wasn't affected by his own creation, he decided to push his luck. Neji used one of the divinities Kurai gained when reaching Level 1000. Although she had lost levels in this fight, just like him, these divinities weren't a loss.
Divinity- Death Icon.
With a thought, he channeled the death attribute into the black hole, immediately creating a gate to the [Void] itself. The void interfered with his old quirk Future Sight, so he couldn't see what happens when he creates a gate to the void. That's why he wasn't willing to take risks until now, but now that he has done so- he knew he was safe.
No, it's more correct to say that only he was safe.
The goddess, who was running at Neji, had her eyes widened as she noticed the empty spot in front of him, the sight on the other side that Neji couldn't see from behind making her go pale.
Turns out, beings lived in the void.
She immediately tried to back off, looking very frightened, but the gravitational pull was now strong enough to affect her.
She couldn't back off, not at all, as the void called her, seducing her with the countless horrified voices on the other side. Erdrich darkness hummed aloud, tentacles dancing out of the small gate, gesturing to her to come closer.
She could do nothing but obey, though still resisting with her all.
Just in front of the gate, when she realised it was impossible to stop getting sucked, Fotia used a burst of her strength to overcome the gravity of the hole for a moment as she shoved the sword past it, at Neji's face.
Neji grinned, and used his quirk and opened a Warp Gate in front of his face, inside which the godly sword submerged into the purple darkness.
The exit of the gate opened behind the goddess, the sword coming out and penetrating her through the back, making her spit black blood while similar blood came out from her back and chest.
"..."
Neji smirked at her shocked expression.
To stop her from getting sucked within the void, at the last second of her getting sucked in, he cancelled "Death Icon" and "Blackhole Creation" as the gate collapsed, existence returning, and everything looked fine.
Except for the Goddess.
With her eyes wide, as her own blade penetrated her, the Goddess had blood dripping from the corner of her lips as Neji watched his own smirking face in the reflection of her eyes.
"Game over?"
The goddess' eyes shook, trembling in anger as she tried to speak, only to spit out blood that Neji dodged. As she tried to move her sword one last time, Neji chuckled and used a gloved hand to touch the sword, putting it into his inventory.
"Mine now."
"B-bastard… I will…" The goddess' eyes started to shake dangerously, as if they would pop out of her sockets.
However, she soon seemed to realise the position she was in, a strange fear creeping out in her face as she immediately shook her head. Then, shocking Neji greatly, the goddess bit her tongue, cutting it in half, as her eyes went hollow immediately.
"..."
What?
"Did…"
Did she just kill herself so that he couldn't gain exp?
What the fuck, this bitch?
Neji grunted in annoyance and cancelled Warp Gate, letting her body fall to the ground.
"Nevermind that." He shook his head, turning to look at the sky. "I won, Primordial. Your daughter died, what a poor cunt. Next is your turn, you Walmart Trigon."
…Apparently, he shouldn't have taunted the big red titan as the sky split apart in a bright light of purple, this time faster than last, as a red skinned deity blazed at him with his eyes.
"…You mere mortal." The Primordial God was shaking, his eyes blazing and his fists clenched. "Do you have any idea what you have just done!?!"
Neji grew anxious. He was just trying to act cool by saying some badass words, but he actually brought the alligator to his doorsteps. He thought the Gods wouldn't be able to do anything else for today since the purple split had closed by itself before but…
Fuck this day.
"You are going to die today!" The Primordial yelled, his body blazing like lava as he opened his mouth wide, a heated breath growing in his throat as he prepared to throw it.
Neji tried to teleport from here, but it didn't work. He tried to use Warpgate, but it also didn't work. Heck, he even tried to teleport inside Arcane Plane, but it didn't work either. Did that place get destroyed? Or were all types of spatial transportation being blocked right now?
Neji realised, whatever the case, this was the end.
This God, this deity, he was the supreme one. Though the beam might grow weaker under the Cube's influence once it is released and leaves the purple world, but Neji didn't need Future Sight to know there was no escape.
At long last, he had only one last option.
An option he wasn't even sure if would work or not. But he decided to do it anyway.
Although many Allocatable Stat Points were also destroyed by the sword, thousands of them still remained. Neji put them all into Luck, as one last call for help.
He hoped she would help.
'I can't help you more than this, even if you spend more points.' → Lady Luck had said something similar a while ago, but Neji hoped, as the beam of absolute destruction was preparing to rush to him, that she would pull another miracle.
And he was right.
[Entity Lady Luck sighs as she steps into the lower realm.]
The world trembled.
A white aura burst out from the world below, forming a titanic ethereal female shape, albeit lacking any distinct feature, as it stood like a tower in front of Neji, protecting him like a guardian angel with her back.
"Get out of here, Wai." The entity spoke in a lovely, soul-cleansing voice. The Primordial God, hearing his true name, closed his mouth and glared "You really want to start another Omniversal war? This boy has won fair and square, heck- his original time was stripped away from him because of a variable, yet he won. It's your weak daughter who was an idiot for letting her guard down."
"So it was you, Luck." Ignoring all his words, the red titan groaned, "I should have figured. I sensed your signature on that regressor girl, but I thought you were just related to her, but you were actually protecting my prey too."
What did he mean by that? Lady Luck was related to the regressor girl- aka, Nawab?
"He isn't yours," the ethereal figure replied, her voice rippling. "Shut up and leave unless you want me to fully descend."
"Are you threatening me, you pitiful mere abstract concept? Me, the Voidborn, icon of Paradoxes?" The Primordial God clenched his jaws once he got no answer. "My daughter was killed, I want revenge. It is you who is starting the omniversal war, not me. Do you think the other abstract entities will truly support you to protect a single mortal against me?"
"..."
Lady Luck stayed silent. Neji suddenly felt bad for her, maybe he was making her do something that would cost her something big. But he couldn't help but hope she had some way.
She was his Deus Ex Machiha, after all.
"It doesn't matter if they don't support, I-"
"If that's the case then let me declare, I don't care either." The Primordial opened his mouth again, his fire breath being readied. "You brought this upon yourself, Luck. Don't blame me later on."
Then, he fired the beam, the power of destruction in the color of reddish-orange with a tint of blackness in the middle, as it rushed at the world from the purple world, not weakening at all.
"Ugh, I don't have enough juice to block it in this form!"
Lady Luck, in her white mist form, tried to block the incoming beam using some type of cosmic power, however, it barely resisted one second before the beam continued on its route.
Lady Luck grunted aloud, barely managing to toss Neji out of the beam's path as it hit her mist-like body, phasing through her projection and destroying it into particles of light. The destructive godly beam continued on its way, at last hitting the ground beneath.
Even though the beam did not hit Neji because of Lady Luck's action, he couldn't be relieved, he rather felt terrified when he saw the beam hitting the Earth below.
There was silence for a moment-
"Fuck."
-Before it destroyed the whole planet in an instant, devouring Neji in a great explosion.
Everything seemed so quick, yettime slowed down.
For the second time in his life, Neji saw his life flash through his eyes.
As he rewatched all his memories, everything went bright for a single moment.
Then, the world went dark.
