Marble dust whipped around the battlefield like a tornado, the very air destabilized by the power of Stein's ultimate weapon, the resonance of a hundred souls, a power that would slaughter Gods. Any who could sense magical or spiritual energy would feel an almost explosive wave of power building up, a harmony of souls. And before him stood the King of Heroes, clad in golden armor, and yet, beyond the physical presence of the armor, a garment of dominance. The aura of the king, the simple stance and attitude of a true king both in body and soul, the First King. A stand off of epic proportions.

Stein smiled, as he looked at Gilgamesh. The reason was impeccable, of course. A perfect counter, a weapon of great power to block his own attack. As the saying went, offense is the best defense, and this certainly was a great example of this. Of course, as Stein prepared to put an end to this battle, he hadn't known the train of thought that had gone through Gilgamesh's head, later, someone who had might realize that there had been two mistakes in Gilgamesh's assesment of the situation. Two simple mistakes that would cost him his victory.

Firstly, Godkiller Resonance wasn't a charged attack. It was a boost of power, magnifying the strength of Stein's soul hundredfold. It was his ultimate weapon, and yet it was not an attack, instead boosting the power of all other attacks massively.

The second was that he'd tried to outwit Stein.

"You touched my family. Prepare to lose EVERYTHING!" Stein's speed was already massive on it's own, and yet boosted by God-Killer resonance he moved 100x faster, a speed that rivaled the instantaneous. The very air exploded once more, as the barrier of sound was shattered. He was in front of the King of Heroes, and his hand shot forward, grabbing onto the face of the one that had dared touch his family. Even at the cost of his life, at the cost of everything, at the cost of all that he had wrought, he would not allow his family to fall.

20 seconds until brain death. Enough time for a single attack.

"SOUL PURGE!" A flash of white lightning covered the hand that held Gilgamesh, the explosive symphony of a hundred souls. A spear of white lightning that ripped not through his body but his soul. Mind, body and soul, linked eternally, absorbed the damage, as his very innards were liquefied, his souls breaking to pieces. A force greater than what any body could take, his cells shattering apart, blood vessels bursting, his lungs collapsing, as his entire form exploded, bone greduced to dust and meat reduced to the consistency of salsa, a point-blank hit at full power.

The golden armor of the King of Heroes clattered to the ground amongst a field of red. Next to it fell the man who killed him, on his knees. The world was turning black, and he knew the damage that had been done to him. And yet, all he could do was laugh, the very act making his head feel like it would burst, the stress and hatred escaping through the most unlikely mechanism. A girl had been hugging Mia. She'd be okay. And yet, this was not why he laughed. As he held up his left hand, blood dripped to the floor. In the palm of his hand he held his heart, previously discarded in the forest. And, impaled through it and into his palm, was the unblockable dagger that had been blocked, the weapon that could rewrite all of reality. Fragarach had finally failed to kill.

Amongst the blood of the King of Heroes, the God-Killer laughed, his hands and form soaked in blood, as the world slowly turned black around him, the cost of battle finally taking it's toll on his mind, as he collapsed into unconsciousness.
((FOR THE KING OF CONQUERORS!
