[IC] HCL: Rise of Daemon

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias puts the chain around his neck, looking at Nathan. "I believe so. I assume getting rid of him was a good thing?" he tilted his head innocently.

Nathan gives Mithias a tight hug.
"Thank you....thank you....." He says sobbing.

The creature glows up once more, as a massive weight strikes your mind. A being not fettered by physical form, it's mental presence dwarfing entire civilizations of sentient beings, the creature's consciousness reached out to Kaika. A single finger of godlike thought, drilling into your brain. It's thoughts, inhuman and impossible for any mortal brain to fathom, flood into your mind, images and experiences flashing through the temporary connection, a stream of information and pain, the accumulated thoughts and memories of the life of a God. Or a Demon.

For a moment, you see a single pont. An absolute, black spot. No light, no time, no space. The very concepts of time and space were irrelevant in that one, infinite instance, an existence that encompassed all. And then, through some small flicker, some impossible disturbance in the absolute balance that was this entity, this single point, Infinite possibility manifests outwards, as uncontainable energy and matter bursts forth, an explosion that was not rivaled since the beginning of creation. From the darkness came light, from it came existence. Time and space form into existence, forced into working systems by the expansion of the singularity. The birth of all that was today, witnessed from one who had experienced it, an image that could never be forgotten, imprinted directly into your brain.

As Mithias takes a hold of the ring, it explodes in violent energy. Lightning erupts over his skin, as he's encased in a pillar of energy. A vision, as electricity flows through body and soul, a mere fraction of an absolute being, the God of Gods. It courses through Mithias, and had his soul not already been host to another, it might have been completely overwritten by the invasion. A glimpse of an infinite lightning storm, glowing and tall, and yet somehow swirling with a deep, ancient, will. The ring rips through you as your body is shattered to pieces, your very being crying out in horror as the creature attempts to seemingly overwrite your existence. And then, the moment the mysterious ring leaves your disembodied hands, it's gone.

(I'm gonna reply to Tiny and THEN have Mithias touch the ring and get "blowed-up." Just makes more sense.)

The look on the man's face said it all. The anguish, the fear, the pain this Kami must have caused Nathan was great indeed. Mithias opened his arms to gently embrace him as he approached with tears in his eyes. "Hush..." The vampire said softly through fanged teeth, soothing the unsettled hero. "Whatever he did, it's over now. Everything is going to be just fine." Vampires could be surprisingly empathetic, almost seeing into anther's mind with their emotional attunement. He held Nathan close for a moment before releasing him and smiling reassuringly. The floating gleam of the ring's gem caught his eye behind Nathan. "Kami's gone now, and we're completely safe..." he said, as he made the mistake of touching the ring.

Mithias was incinerated by light and lightning one last time, having the aforementioned vision of course.

As before, his body immediately reformed. It was getting rather good at that. Poor Mithias was overwhelmed with terror and bolted straight into a wall, crashing and slinking to the floor, panting heavily and cowering in the fetal position. He trembled with fear. "I have seen... the god of gods!"

Somewhere in a destroyed and abandoned place of a city, Crow (Yeah, I'm here. Deal with it.) was balancing on a metal beam from a buioding that had never been completed. Nearby, a group of crows were sat on the side, watching her and supposedly laughing at her. Crow, who simply glared at them, didn't care if they thought of her as a fool. But soon, Nozomi shooed the crows away, and they flew off. They had discovered this place by travelling around the place in a completely random direction. Basically, they had no clue where they were and they were just staying here instead of searching for home.

"I have seen... the god of gods!"

When this happens, Nathan leaps back, and the larger man rushes forwards to rip the ring away. However, he stops when the ring vanishes, and Mithias refroms.
"That was no god...something...greater....." He says, guessing it from the fact that most of the planet's clones were out. He then starts to kneel, and pray.

[Wraithblade6]

"All... is... lost..." *cowers*

Wraithblade6 said
"All... is... lost..." *cowers*

Nathan puts his hands on Mathias's shoulders.
"Nothing is lost. We won this round, and we will win the next. If all was lost, we would of lost against the priest. We have a chance....but we must build up the army....my father is calling an old friend." He says, as a woman clad in flowing white robes floats from the sky.
"You called?" She asks the large man. He stops kneeling and praying, and bows.
"Yes, Klonos.....please, I be-" He starts, but she cuts him off. "Oh you know that begging crap annoys me." She says, punching his shoulder gently. He stands, and smiles. "That is why I do it every time." He jests back. They both let out a bit of a laugh, like old friends.

[Wraithblade6]

Fairly certain that Kami wasn't going to come back, Mithias tentatively gets up from the floor and cautiously approaches Nathan and his "friend" Klonos. He looks at Nathan for an explanation.

In that instant, Kaika's focus starts to falter as these thoughts began to leech into her mind, the energy she was aiming to use began to fade. It is to be noted that since she had sacrificed a piece of her soul to create a reincarnation in the Living World, a world that she's now declared dead in, Kaika had also lost several of her own memories upon losing that piece of her soul that should had been carried down wit her into the "afterlife." Here, this certainly didn't help with the fact that her mind had one huge missing hole of where her previous memories were, so it was like these thoughts being pushed into her mind was actually filling up the memory gap she had, making a place within her mental state. "...w.....w..what.." Kaika stuttered as she placed her hand to her forehead, this amount of information, the very concept of these thoughts was mind-boggling. Just the concept of it wasn't really easy for Kaika to decipher on her own, and she wasn't sure what the point was of sending these thoughts to her in the first place. Actually, the more she thought about it, the more she was getting confused and lost in thought.

"That is a failed attempted at cloning a god, and as such she took on the role of "Goddess of all cloned things." and is our empire is made up of mostly clones...so, guess..." He says. The large man gives Klonos a friendly shove, and she returns it by sending him though a wall with her shove.

In the aftermath of the battle against Kami, a large fleet of ships can be seen approaching the scene. Many of them are heavily damaged, but at her front stands a massive warship. A construct the size of the average moon, with a huge metal face at her bow. Cannons adorn her sides, as the Terebithia floats through space, surrounded by an energy sphere built for interstellar conflict. Thousands of ships, led by this monstrosity of engineering and technology, an armada of unstoppable firepower floats through the empty vacuum of space to greet those heroes that had faced the self-proclaimed Lord of the Universe.

---

As the Clone Emperor grabs the ring, he, also, is encased in lightning. And yet, even as it is equal, it is different from the reaction experienced by Mithias. He is filled with lightning, but it does not burn him, nor does it scorch his soul. His mind is filled with the consciousness of an alien being, but there is no conflict. In that instant, his entire body glows with the pure power of the ring, his mind screaming under the strain of the force that has struck him. Golden armor covers him, and his eyes turn red. His soul seems, for but a moment, to bond to something greater.

However, as the man opens his eyes, it is not the Clone Emperor that glares at the world from behind those eyes. It speaks with a voice that disrupts the flow of space itself, an impossible echo in the minds of those present. "Fear the Darkness that lies outside Existence, that stands outside Life. Fear the Hope that burns Within, for the Darkness is the Heart of Hope." After these words are spoken, the ring disappears, together with the unspoken power. The impossible strength that had burned through reality disappears as soon as it came, and the Clone Emperor is left, stunned, his eyes a burning hole.

[Wraithblade6]

O.O ... "That's it. NOBODY touches that ring, ever again."

He stumbles backwards, holding his face.
"GOD DAMN-" He starts, before Klonos slaps him on the back of the head. "Watch your mouth." She says, growling. "...Ok, DEAMON DAMN IT THAT HURTS!" The C.E yells, although his eyes regrows.

(Unsure on what to do. ><)

Still, Kaika was lost and confused in her own thoughts. Just standing there with no awareness of things around her.

((Sorry, forgot to reply to you and Fox.))
As Crow was playing about, she didn't notice a change in the celestial bodies visible from this world. With a speed approaching that of light, an enormous wave of energy hurtled through space. Several times the size of a planet, the wave of white light hurtled towards the planet, glowing with great power. Even after having ripped through a multitude of asteroid fields on the way here, the wav of power was easily great enough to rip apart the planet and wipe out all life that might remain upon it. Soon, Crow and all the others upon the planet would be reduced to dust blowing on the interstellar wind.

---

Contact is broken as the cage around the creature closes in once more. A weave of spells and power creates an impenetrable wall forged from the creature's own beings, a planet forming around it. The six humanoid Gods focus their power for this last battle of will, spirals of black and green energy shooting at the cage, feeding it power from both sides of the Cycle of life. A combination which, although volatile, lent itself to incredible power. Once more, this ancient existence is cut off from the reality it had seen begin, shut of in an orb of rock and magic, and to senses both magical and mundane, it was as if nothing had happened here.

Crow, was indeed still playing around. But Nozomi had now been looking upon the other planets they travelled to by a hologram she had created. The wave of white light was, indeed destroying everything in it's path, and that included some of the other planets. Seeing this, Nozomi was confused as to why this was happening, but she whistled to Crow. "I think we should leave now..." she said to her friend, who was now gentoy gliding over using the large and enchanting wings on her back. Crow nodded as Nozomi searched through the hologram meant to replicate space for a safe area to travel to, trying to be quick about this from the feeling of dread stabbing her in the heart.

Just like that, she snapped out of that confusing trance, a little confused herself on why she was so easily affected by that. For a moment, she felt a searing pain come from her imprinted seal on her chest, the seal that meant that her soul was incomplete. Moments later, the searing pain went away. What...what the hell?....usually I don't get controlled that easily...is it that my ruptured soul made it so easy for me to fall for that? Just so my soul would have at least something to fill in that empty gap... Kaika thought to herself about her soul's current state, At the same time, she assumed that the creature was finally sealed away, as she couldn't feel it's energy around anymore.

Mithias folds his arms and taps his foot. "Nathan, I believe you owe me an explanation for why this Kami randomly appeared and wanted to kill you and Bug. And also... Can Bug and i get out of your world before another one appears?"

""I have no idea why that jackass showed up." Nathan says. The larger man, now with his healed eyes walks over. "Maybe he envied the empire and wanted it for himself?" He asks. "Well, he didn't get it." Nathan says proudly.
