1 week later
Platoons and squads of soldiers are formed, armed and ready to depart
Everyone is ready for a final clash after gathering forces for 2 years
Every soldier on the empire has been trained hard. They also were showed the power of a true god (My blessings in the name of their god) so they are ardent believers now, they will fight to purge the heretics
Thats for the empire, as for the alliance? Its almost the same, they were told that the empire are demons... etc etc, normal defamation against the enemy, nothing new
Being X was silent as he gazed the soldiers, he was thinking on how to win the fight against that armored man... thing... whatever it was
After thinking very much, he came to a conclusion, he cant win against him, so he must trap or seal him. If not then he just can make time.
Thinking of that, he blessed many soldiers, making them stronger and faster. Going to an extent of almost getting exhausted while buffing them, as he needs them to win this while he stops the main enemy
After getting his blessing, the soldiers are now even more fanatics of him, thinking that he really is a the true god, and the empire are the demon worshippers
...
A day later, the soldiers started to march, some going in transport vehicles while others flew with their flying... boxes
The war last war is not fought in only one front, as the empire and alliance has a huge territory. This battle is fought in many parts of the borders
Tanya was assigned to the south part while Ainz is waiting in the middle for the final clash between them. He was getting bored of this constant fight and he tought of simply ending his disguise and killing him in his undead form
By now after fighting that much he already got a clear sense of Being X power in his sealed form, so he knows that if he can kill him with a single death spell... But before going out Rob told him thats cheating, so he gave up the idea as he hate cheating in a game... although this game is of a little great scale
So, as of respect for his opponent who he fought for 2 years and made him learn many close combat moves, he is going to give his all on his final clash... his all while being in warrior mode
As for Tanya, she is annoyed because she wanted to kill Being X in this fight, but she was told that she would get the chance later, as Ainz is not going to kill him yet, so she went to the south to lead the fight there
As to why so many people takes her orders? Because of her high rank? No. Its all because Rob gave her the sacred spear to slay demons and heretics, the weapon of god, or so they called it
Even some generals follow her as they are very strong believers in the true god, discarting the difference in rank between them and following her as some emissary of god
As for the north? Its basically our weakest point, as i dont have another good and reliable general to lead them, i can only send a group of them, hoping for them to not fall that easly
...
2 days later, the soldiers are ready on the frontlines, if one use a telescope they can already see the enemy forces, making the mood on the area solemn and heavy
Being X was fliying while gazing at the ground, at the many soldiers following him, after that he moved his gaze to the enemy. There it was, waiting on the front of the army, a black armored knight. As if feeling his gaze, he looks back at him. The two gaze at each other, the rival they fought for two whole years and couldnt win against
After some time, Being X comes back to the HQ of the alliance to discuss with them how to attack. He is a god an all but strategy? he doesnt know a single thing, so he leaves it to the experts under him, the best thing he can do is to bless many soldiers, so they can create plans having them as a key point
As for starting the battle... it already started, its just that the first part of it is a battle of brains, as they have to get the advantage on the first clash with a good strategy. What? they are not going to charge like mindless idiots to each other. Even if they were to, the enemy would just shoot them and finish the war early
Today marks the day 1 of the final clash
The whole day was planning and making countermeasures, many key soldiers moving around, trying to catch the enemy off guard
Each side was going as if this was a chess game, playing every piece with caution
And like that, day 1 ends, with no blood but high tension and many generals with headaches. Also, many soldiers were moved, so some of them are a littel tired of running around
...
Day 2 of the final clash
The day started with some selected soldiers making weird moves, trying to reach a blind point of the enemy lines only to be found and repeled. Causing the first casualty in the war on the part of the empire, as they tried some methods, only to fail. Thankfully, they just lost 2 soldiers in a team of 10
The day keep going like that on every front, as they tried to reach the enemy and get an opening to their side
Many smaller fights were fought on this day, causing some casualties on each side, not too much, as it was just the beggining
And like that, the day 2 comes to an end
...
Day 3, this is the day the first oppening was made, it was on the part of the alliance, as they made a hole in the Empire formation
It was of no surprise that the north side was penetrated, as it was the most defenseless
I received the news at the HQ, granting me a headache at the thought of only having 2 protagonist on my side
While thinking, i sent an order to move some of the reserve soldiers in the center, as it was guarded by Ainz, being the most fortified one
My order went and many soldies who were waiting were sent to the north, to fight for their beliefs
On the other side, Being X also got the intel
He made almost the same order, only in this side he was attacking instead of sending soldiers for defense
After breaching the north, the center reserve were sent, so the center is more weak. At this time, Being X led a elite group, conformed of many super blessed soldiers to the center in order to fight with quality instead of quantity
He made his move, so Ainz also was ready to fight with him. He launched to the air, using a flying amulet to soar in the sky
The soldier of both sides has a tactic agreement of not interfering in the battle between God's representatives
*boom* both sides clashed, and as always a great shockwave expands from the center, destroying the terrain and making many soldiers deaf for a few seconds
"They started again" Said a ramdom soldier of the Empire, who watched Ainz fight Being X many times over these 2 years
"Defend the position! We only need to defend against the normal people like us!" This time, a random officer shouted, leading his team to a defensive position
The enemy has a squad of 25 soldiers, blessed many times personally by Being X
The empire has more than 200 hundred soldiers, some with blessings, others without blessings
The first real battle starts on this day
Some time pass, the Empire sucefully defended their center. 10 out of the 25 soldiers who came with Being X are dead, while on the Empire only 30 died. It seems like the empire lost more... and thats true, after all they were only normal soldiers but with many blessings
After chasing off the enemy, they started to espectate the battle between their guardian (Ainz) And the leader of the alliance (Being X)
Ainz vs Being X, day 3 result: Tie
North side result: The empire lost
South side result: The Empire slighly won
...
Day 4 starts, the last day was the first battle, so today is going to get more intense, and after that the next day is going to be fiercer than the last... only to escalate as the days go on
This day he was going to make something diferent, something which he has been preparing for the last 2 years
In being X Office, where he always stays because.... He likes to feel like a respected person, i guess?
Today was the day that his plans of the last 2 years pay off
He started to concentrate, shining in a golder color all over
A few seconds later, he strugle to make his godly sense make something in the air
Something was taking form in front of him
After going for about 30 minutes, a shape was gradually shown, its a humanoid figure, almost identical to being X
"Finally... with this i can stall that thing while i win the war" He said while recalling what he had to do for this thing
"I wasted away my energy from the last 2 years of constant war, it would be around 10 years of normal wars before... but if i win this it would be worth it, the world would be mine again and evererything will be like before, where i was the only god" Thats what Being X was thinking. As for Rob liying and killing him or going back on his word? He knows the feeling of being too powerful that nothing amuse you, so he thinks that Rob is just doing this for fun, as Rob can insta kill him. Also, such beings see lying as beneath them, so Being X is assured of his safety if he wins
Yes, if he wins, thats why he is so pressured, because he has no doubt that he will be deader that dead if he lose. He has no hope of fleeing, as even he has the power to scan the whole world... so... with Rob's power... maybe he is being seen right now
While thinking about all sort of things, Being X watch ahead, waiting for the ending of this "game"
...
"There he is... its seems that today battle is going to be the same"
While bored, Ainz steps on the air while walking towards 'Being X'
After getting in range, Ainz swings his right sword, waiting for the usual response, as they have fought too many times that their battles are almost scripted...
But 'Being X' neither blocked nor dodged... he threw himself at Ainz while not caring for his safety
"uh?" Ainz, dumbfounded couldnt react in time and was hugged... just a little to forceful
"What are you doing?" Instead of panic, Ainz is more confused than anything, as 'Being X' is not dealing almost any damage to his body. The only bad thing is that he cant move freely, like he was entangled
Without saying a word, 'Being X' just hugs and hugs
At the start it was funny, but after being like this for 20 minutes... one would get unconfortable
While struglin in his grasp, Ainz is shocked at the amount of strengh Being X has
'Why is he so strong? Was he holding back before? Wait... he was slower when he dashed at me... also, he seems sort of mute, we always trash talked each other while fighting before, now he is quiet as a mum'
Still trying strugle, Ainz hastly think on his mind, as he is in a very dangerous position right now
If someone equally powerful comes, he will need to turn off his warrior mode in order to defend himself
While thinking of a solution, he remember something... Why is he doing this? Does he has any help? No, if that was the case then the war would have ended sooner... does he want to auto destruct himself or something like that? Dont think so....
Suddendly he think of something and gaze at Being X, who is still hugging him
"Hey, lets stop fighting, i will join you"
"Hey, i will submit to you"
"Hey, listen"
"Hey..."
He continues saying random things for 1 minute straight....
"So this is just a puppet, huh?" Ainz said, gazing at the puppet of Being X
"... If he is stalling me with a puppet... then he is... well, i hope Rob can ressurect Tanya if she dies" Ainz calmly says while gazing at the distance, looking very misterious and badass in his black armor... that would be the case if it wasnt for the muscular man in a white tunic hugging him while not saying anything
...
South side
A bored Tanya was resting after a boring battle on this boring side...
"Soo booring~" said person was with her back on a tree. As for why a seemingly huge and important war is 'Boring' for her? Because now she is too powerful for the normal standards of this world, as she is a whole realm above everyone, but she isnt powerful enough to direectly rush to the enemy base alone... That middle point is making her win the battles with almost no effort but also not being able to take the full advantage
While gazing at the sky, bored and waiting, something called her attention...
a seemingly flying man is going towards her
As for why it demands her attention while almost every magic soldier fly in this world? Because said flying man has a white tunic, no military equipment and is directly flying toward her
".... i have a good and bad feeling about this" said Tanya, before picking up her rifle and flying up
In the air, Being X finally saw the defender of the south side, the 'little demon' who is feared by having astronomical amounts of mana and power
"So its you..." Being X said after seeing her, finally recalling that guy he reincarnated for disrespecting god.... and mainly for fun
"mmm? I dont know who you are and why you got here without alerting anyone, but this area is restricted and occupied by the empire, state your name and purpose" Pointing her rifle towards him, Tanya spoke, sligly tensed, as this man is flying with his own power, something she hasnt dominated yet
'Why are so many powerful people pooping out of nowhere? first rob, ainz and then those blessed guys of the alliance' Tanya tought, still pointing her rifle at Being X
"Thats funny, as i tought you would recognize me at first sight, being your so called nemesis" WIth a chuckle, Being X spoke, not taking Tanya seriously at all, after all he, as a god has diferent standards for people. He recognise Ainz as Rob pawn, subordinate or player in this game, thats why he is respectful and cautious towards him, as for Tanya, the man who he reincarnated as a girl for fun? he doesnt care
"Nemeseis...?" Tanya mumbles a bit...
"You are... Being X?!" She said aloud, half excited half panicked, after all Being X is a real god, he is the god who forced Tanya to transmigrate as a girl... also the most 'Godly' beign that she has met, after all Rob doesnt look or act like a god and Ainz... well, Tanya just see him as a partner who is unlucky as him
"Indeed... im that 'Being X', now, to think that you are the one who-" in the middle of his dramatic dialoge, he is attacked by a massive bullet which explodes on contact with his shield
On the distance, Tanya starts channeling another one of her spells that, after a loot of training with her inmense ammount of mana, has been getting more and more powerful
*whish*
The smoke is expeled by a strong wind, and a still calm Being X is shown in the middle of the explosion
"Its seems that you are not using my blessings anymore but still can cast such a powerful spell... it must been that foreing god work"
While Being X is still speaking, Tanya is channeling a stronger spell, as the last one didnt seem to faze him at all
Tanya is, after all, a transcended lvl 6, while Being X is capped at lvl 9, but still having insighs and control of his powers at the level of a god
As another powerful magic bullet with the power of nuke is sent, Being X gaze still calm
He lift his hand and a huge holy barrier is formed, then shaped in the form of a square and trapping the bullet, making it explode inside
*Muffled sound*
Muffled, the explosion is contained and endured. Tanya cant believe the power gap between the two of them, as this was one of her most powerful spells, not the most powerful but still... to make it dissapear that easly
"Now let me end what i did in a moment of boredom" He said, still not caring of Tanya, trating her like an ant
He lift his finger and points at her, his finger glowing a little with holy light
Tanya, at this moment, felt something
Like watching a movie, she 'saw' how a little holy ray pierce her, making her body crumble in holy particles
Watching that took less than 0,2 second, as if her brain acted on instinct, it showed her the moment she died
Now at the present, she is watching almost in slow motion how the finger is starting to glow brighter, making her panic a little after remembering what she saw
Not having time to think more, she moved all the mana she has to the flying device, overcharging it in an attemp to try a run for it
Seeing the future scene took 0,2 seconds and moving his mana took 0,3 seconds
It was at this moment that a feeling of dread took over her, as the ray is ready
At the moment the ray was casted, Tanya flew to the right so fast that she lost control
Before being tossed away by the flying device, she saw the ray hitting a tree behind her, making a hole on its body... and then starting to crumble in holy particles
Thats the last thing she saw before her vision was blurred, as she was going too fast. And just like that, she dissapeared on the horizon, leaving a pondering Being X in place
"Was that... a basic glimpse of time? at her level?" While mumbling, he started flying the direction of the headquarter of the south, as his goal was winning the war, not killing Tanya
...
'Fuck, i think im going too fast...' Tanya tought, while gazing at the blurring scenario around her
'I cant maintain my mana barrier for much more, i wasted almost all of my mana on escaping'
The air resistance is fatal even for a superhuman body if the speed is too much
Her time passed like that for a few minutes, until the speed started to decrease
'Finally, i tought i was goign to die... again' She tought while finally being able to remove the barrier and gaze around... but she still cant control herself, as the flying device is completly destroyed
"what the..." Tanya saw something in the distance... it was Ainz who was flying in the direction of Being X... just that he is slower than normal thanks to a hugging man
Tanya, shocked at what she is seeing, asks loud
"AInz?! Help, i cant stop"
Ainz, having seen Tanya a little earlier than her shout, was going toward her position
In no time, he reached and... let her impact on him, as he cant move his arms
Before the crash, Tanya used more of her little mana on a magic barrier
"Fuck... couldnt you... nevermind, you couldnt" Tanya was about to curse him, when she saw the man hugging Ainz
"Hey, what a coincidence... could you help me destroying this guy? its seems that he made this thing only to bother me" AInz asks
"I dont have much mana, but i think i could try... could you help me with the real one after this?" Tanya asks back
The two nods at each other and Tanya casts a powerful spell with the little mana she has
...
...
...
After more than 10 minutes of constant spells, Ainz is finally free... while Tanya is on the ground almost fainting
"Finally... it was getting bothersome" Said Ainz before gazing at Tanya
"Leave the rest to me"
Tanya made a 👍 with the little energy she has... fainting after that
"Lets end this, that guy pissed me off with that cheap trick, before, i wanted to end this in a honored fight with him, as he has been my training partner for years... now i will just kill him" A pissed Ainz spoke while undoing his warrior mode
While doing so, Ainz felt a presence nearing... it was Being X, who just got here to see Ainz undoing his warrior form
"You...an undead? a lich? to think that my rival was a mage all this time" Being X became vigilant as he just destroyed the south empire base, killing many soldiers on the process and having time to find that little thing who got away... he didnt thought that the most difficult part of the game would be here... the only one who can compete with him in power, and its seems that the clone is gone
"You... i see, the south must have been completly destroyed by you, right?" Ainz, having come in contact with so much death aura, can feel right away that Being X is surrounded by it
Without waiting for his answer, he grasps with his hand and the death aura on Being X is forced towards Ainz, making him absorb the last bit he needs
"98%"
"99%"
"100%, thanks for that"
Ainz, counting loud, said to Being X after finally completing his transformation of mana towards death energy
This made a little transformation on AInz, making his white bones emit a dark glow, flowing on his body visibly like energy is gushing on his bones
"You..." Being X, astounded by this change, can feel a completly new power from Ainz, something he has only felt on himself and Rob before... the power of divinity and also a very powerful one, as Ainz is concentrated on a single rule, 'Death'
"So this is becoming a god huh?" AInz said while playing with the dark glow on his bones
Without waiting for Ainz to get insight on his new powers, Being X attacks with his most powerful atack
A giant holy sword appears above him and flies towards AInz
Not having much time to defend, Ainz cast the first thing on his mind
"{Wall of bones}" A huge wall of dark bones emerges from the void, trying to block the holy sword
Before the two spells clash, the void around them distorts, transfering the two of them and their spells to the second dimension, so the mortal world is not wounded by their fight
All of this was made, of course by Rob, who is watching with popcorn the fight with a fainted Tanya on the ground by his side
...
Ainz and Being X are alerted by the change of scenario, but neither one has time for this, as the spell clashed and Holy and Death energy mix together, destroying each other in a loop
At the end the wall of bones is the last one standing, a bit destroyed but still alright
"This is cheating! Atleast unseal my power if you want me to fight your pawn who is now a god!" Being X screams to the void, certain that Rob is watching him
A few seconds later, Holy light erupts from him, as his power was unsealed, after all, this can be a good first fight for Ainz to get a grip on his godly new powers
Being X sighs on relief that the foreing god is not shameless enough to let him fight against a god while sealed
"{Eternal War}" Not wasting time, Being X cast one of his primary divine spells, summoning a giant ethereal place where war is eternal, summoning the warriors inside to fight for him
Now with an army, Being X attacks Ainz while casting many war related spells
Ainz, not wanting to be left behind casts {Army of the dead}, a spell to summon many undeads, enough to make it an army. Now boosted with death energy, his summons are more powerful that before
'I keep feeling that i can cast without saying it loud... but it seems that saying it with a mental image make it stronger' AInz thought, having a new idea
"{Giant}" Ainz shorten the cast, just saying a single word and a giant made of the bones of many sacrified undeads is born
'it seems that i can use any word as long as i have a image in my head clear enough' After experimenting, AInz puts his somewhat crazy idea in action
{Die} Ainz casts while pointing at Bieng X among his many soldiers. This spell being a combination of his favorite instant death spells like crush hearth, true death, cry of vanshee, etc. In his head, he thought of Being X being not only dying, but also being erased, as a god doesnt simply 'die' after dying normally
Being X, commanding his soldiers, feels like death is nearing. He rappidly gaze around only to see a mass of death energy approaching him
Now normally this wouldnt be concerning, but the intent he felt from the death energy make him fears for his existence
Putting many holy barriers, Being X tries to run, trying to gain distance but the Death energy is still at the same distance, like he didnt move at all
After a moment, the death energy impacts his shields, who starts to dissapear one by one
Alarmed, Being X casts more and more shields, buffs, heals, anything of positive and holy element that can help
In the end it wasnt enought and the death energy reachs him
At this moment, inside Being X, his divinity is being exthinguished by the death energy, bit by bit
a few seconds of not moving, Being X holy light starts to fade, after a few more seconds an almost see-though man is standing
"Not powerful enough for a instant kill?" Ainz, sad at this, starts to cast another instant death spell, as he saw that Being X is almost done
The moment Ainz started casting, Being X saw him, and with horror on his face, he starts to run to the deep of the void
Ainz, not having grasp how to fly in the void yet, couldnt follow him, making him have a sad face... not that skeletons could do that
...
While fleeing in horror, Being X thinks of the whole exhange
'WHY?! How can he be that powerful just after reaching godhood?!' Being X thinks in frustation
What he doesnt know is that Ainz formed a divinity 'core' of only 1 rule and domain, which is death, making him more powerful than a god with a divinity made of many things like Being X, after all, although his main domain is war, he has many other ones like holy, reincarnation, time, law, etc, all because he is the only one maintaining this world and he has to do everything
While he was running, suddendly the void cracks in front of him, making a little girl appear...
Yes, thats Tanya, who was healed by Rob and sent to the second dimension with a ward spell so she doesnt die there. Why? Because Rob wants to fulfill Tanya's wish of killing Being X who is almost dead
Tanya, knowing where she was going to, was already pointing to the front with her most powerful spell casted
Now, seeing the spell flying towards him, Being X is angered, as a mortal dared to attack him while having his godly powers... although almost exhausted
"A mortal cannot kill a god!" He shouts like a madman and a barrier is made
Sadly, his divinity is almost dry, so his power is very low right now. The bullet pierced his barrier and reached his body, more specifically, his divinity core, which is almost a concept on a gods body
"How can this be?!" Not believing this, Being X couldnt react in time, letting the bullet pierce his dry divinity core, making it shatter
"God killer shot, thats the spell i made only for you" Tanya said while seeing the crumbling body of Being X, dissapearing and merging into the void
Turning around, Tanya dissapears in the same void crack from where she came. leaving only holy particles on the void floating
