"Your true strength, you say?" I was truly intrigued by these words. And just as I was about to make a witty comment, he burst open with loads of essence that could surprise even me.
My body was blown back a bit, but I paid that folly no mind. My focus was on the large pillar of blood red and black essence. It warped and shifted the very fabric of reality within our Colossaverse. As if he was sitting outside of it controlling the place with his ridiculous amounts of essence. Almost like a boardgame as he goes about using his mere presence to basically terraform this very verse. That would come to a nasty end once he broke his pillar. Revealing a very devilish form if I do say so myself, gov'nors.
His body was draped in a ragged, blood red cloak. His torso was left bare, revealing a highly fit body on a slim, muscular figure. His slacks became blood red and draped in flames that the ends of their legs. His feet were bare, becoming demon like as they gripped the very space around us. His arms were covered in skin tight armor that made his arms completely black, like a potent plague. His hands became claws that complemented his draconic, demon wings that were now five sets deep. His crown almost looked like a halo, it was in the way it expanded and formed two layers. Creating a mystical crown fit for what he says he's called back home, he's basically an Emperor. His neck, chest, arms, his forehead, pupils, and his back were covered with the demonic stars associated with lords of the underworld. Giving me an even more shimmahing sight of who he truly is.
His horns grew large enough to be slightly larger than his head individually. His hair became white, straightened, and quite long. Hanging down his back as far down as the man's buttox. His face was covered by a ninja-like breathing mask from the ridge of his nose and down. His neck became populated by brilliant looking chains and necklaces made from the finest of platinum and diamonds. His palms ended up with eyes on them that look identical to the three on his face. Reflecting a black abyss within his very essence system, complimented by the shining, blood red pupils he sports. A truly divine form for someone who goes beyond divinity itself.
"I would say sorry for keeping you waiting, but... I never once thought I'd need this ridiculously powerful form for you, Dolphy!" The visitor states.
"Aaah... Considahing how worthy you are as a foe, I accept your use of my nickname, Tahny." I replied.
"Tahny!?" ZeeNanasa asked as she looked outwards towards our fight.
"Mrrmh...
"Hm!? He's looking at me as if I-
You'd do well NOT to use that name, ZeeNanasa! You've yet to earn the blessings for such an action." The visitor says as he coldly stared at the little whelps sitting below us in lesser verse structures. We sat at the Conglomeversal level, dwarfing the Multiverses and Clusterverses they now occupy.
Tahny and i began to casually walk towards one another once more. Fumin' with an unadulterated amount of essence and presence to be offered. Our killing intent was actually laying bodies down by the second! Weaker Deities and other species were being subjected to psychological and spiritual torture thanks to the power we possess. I cancelled everything out with use of my Thingchi and essence. Making sure to preserve the lives of those around us. Tahny didn't take kindly to that and thought he'd be able to blitz me after powahing up. Someone should've reminded this fool I've been holding BACK, MATES!!!
I managed to dodge his leading, right hook quite handily. Forming a countahattack using me trusty right uppahcut at the very moment he threw his right hook. He was completely stunned by the force and impact. But that would last nearly as long as I needed it to. Even still, I press forward with a swiftly thrown left hook. The bahstard dodged quite quickly, leaning back into a perfect weave. His left foot came flying up at the same time, forcing me to duck undah the strike. I grabbed a hold of his foot, taking the powahful lit~tle biatch for quite the spin!
"Tch, he's able to keep up even when I'm in this form, huh? We of my home realm seal away our powers with Suppression Forms. Even the weakest of my species needs three to be equal to dieties of the Complex Multiversal level. That would be what Deities refer to as a 80-90 on the PSL. But I'm not fully certain in that assumption of mine. Either way, to think he may push me to reveal my second release. Though... That's just two out of seven releases!" Tahny thought to himself.
"A marvelous idea indeed, you'll be showing me five of the seven very shortly, Tahny... My friend!" I declared as forced him to defend against my own version of his Punch technique.
The surprise on this idiot's face was quite impressive indeed. It brought joy and satisfaction to my aways gloomy face. Even whilst looking like a thirty year old man. He flew back a few kilometers before stopping himself. This is where I made his knickers crease and roll as he was forced to take an awkward stance. He fired forward with another infamous $#3+@#π Punch, a punch I would come to easily match as I pressed forward with a direct copy to his own technique once more, mates!
"Heh... Thirty percent should do it." I smiled as he met with his fist.
No force was allowed to shoot outwards like usual. Instead, I burst forward as Tahny's right arm and half of his torso was blown to bits.
"N-No way... He's still too much for him, even with that bastard already being transformed!!?" ZeeNanasa shouted.
Everyone around her was utterly stunned, stuck in a daze. Those amongst the young beings could not grasp our strength. Whilst people like ZeeNihilo, Anastasia, YeeRasurum, Ersula, and a few of the Coco Tribe members could easily sense it. Just how far my powah extends within this form. Though the same can be said about ZeeNihilo, a warrior tied with my wife for second strongest STRIFE membah. But his Infinity form is forbidden as of now, as is all of us within the top three spots of powah for STRIFE. I was NOT supposed to do this, hehe!!
"Y-you... You son of a-
I blasted his torso away as he rapidly regenerated. But even that couldn't make the bahstard go away, even so... I'm no average deity. Whilst it has may be an annoying conundrum for it haha, it's a splendid development for me!! It means I can thrash him until he can develope the basic intellect needed to know. Know the fact that he NEEDS to transform furthah!
"Tch, I guess he wasn't bluffing! Time to go even further, maybe... Two forms higher. All the way up to level three!!" Tahny thought to himself as his form went further into his true form. I can sense two releases of powah flowing outward as he changed in form.
His horns stayed curled, but they were more refined in a way. His horns on his forehead were very small now. His face became a little more boyish in structure whilst his body slimmed as well. His cloak fused with his many wings and took on the form of a wing decorated cape. His body was now covahed by a messy, white, long sleeve button up shirt. A pair of basic, torn black slacks and some nifty, all red mettalic loafahs. His hands and arms were still covahed by the thin, black, skin tight gauntlets. Greaves were hidden under his messy, torn slacks. His hair shortened and spiked up with a large bang sitting ovah the slimy bahstard's mug. The dope looked like some edgy, anime, supporting main character, mates. His crown even grew largah with a more classic monarch look to it.
"Ah, so you've released three forms already? Good... Let's see how well you manage here, Tahny!" I shouted as I ran towards him on the void of space. He smiled menacingly, charging towards me in full flight mode. We laughed and snickered about as we allowed our fists to meet. We repelled one anothah, rushing back towards each other as quickly as possible.
We shot into a mad frenzy of clashes, entering the upper levels of the cosmos. We leapt well above the lower dimensions of space. Going from the Conglomeversal level and into the Gigatoversal realm of space. It was equal to the Hyperversal tier of powah. So it took a little piece of our absolute full powah to extend into our uppah realm forms. Those below that watched our fight looked at us like colossal beings who could destroy the realm they stood within with a mere thought. Tahny finally messed up and threw a sloppy, roundhouse with his right leg. I bent down and dodged the piss poor attack. Tripping the poor bahstard before smacking him away. He was quite perplexed by the development, watching me rushing towards him with a large helping of essence within my hands. The only thing on me mind being murdah of the worst degree. I launched me attack with as much force as thirty percent would allow me.
"I'm going to have to blo-
"That'll do you no good, Tahny!! You've underestimated me far too much on this fight, gov'nor!!!" I shouted as I smashed me fist right through his guard!!
The bahstard was sent flying into the distance, well beyond the walls of more than four Gigatoverses before he could stop his momentum. I quicly flanked his six, by now I was sporting quite the lovely amount of me powah. Easily breaching fifty percent in ordah to prove a point to Tahny. Make sure he always remembers the importance of not holding back, and not undahestimating one's own opponent. A novice mistake made by someone that's oldah than the Omniverse itself!
I knocked the poor bahstard away once more in a hurry. In my pursuit of his person, I began causing Murdah to any and every concept that could possibly slow me down. Every time I leapt forward, time, space, and distance get eliminated. Me presence gets eliminated, me existence is masked heavily, and me limits get broken to bits bruv. I eliminate the cognitive abilities, senses, and equilibrium of my opponent. Thus is the reason this dope can't do a bloody thing to me, gov'nors!
"Nrhh... I refuse to go any furthah than five releases. The sixth and seventh are forbidden anyways!!" Tahny thought to himself.
He unleashed an amount of powah I wasn't expecting... if I'm to be completely honest. By now, the bloke was showing us all a new form to his being. A form reflecting his five releases in their totality. He was sharply dressed, sporting a clean, white button up shirt. A burgundy dress vest complemented by a demonic rose sitting on the left pectoral as a decorum. His burgundy pants were decorated with chains that hung down to his knees. His loafers were white and golden as they shimmered in the graces of the light emitting from his essence. His white, fingerless gloves and white blazer that rested upon his shouldahs brought about a wonderful look. Though he would go on to change his blazer into a fancy, white, leather fauld that hung down to his ankles. His horns grew longer once more, becoming less curled as they unravel from their coil shape. The horns found on his forehead shrunk a bit more, blackening along with his eyes. His Ruby red, fiery eyes staring back at me as he slowly turns around. His tail grew to be fifteen feet long, waving about all majestic like and whatnot. His crown became two heavily detailed, classic emperor crowns stacked atop one anothah. They glistened a brazenly odd shade of red. But I wouldn't be able to determine that, for he vanished to my nine position. I turned around whilst throwing a spinning, back kick.
"That wont work, Dolphy-boy!" He projected his thoughts directly into my mind before clicking his teeth together. A loud noise echoed outwards in every direction, and just as it did... I witnessed me own leg disappear into nothingness. It was truly an awful feeling, but that isn't due to the pain. Moreso the embarrassment of not raising my powah more when feeling his essence jump to a level I've felt only a few times in me life. One of those times being within a battle against an individual I still can't hope to bring down at full powah. But I can get damn CLOSE!!! And luckily for meeee... This bitch of an opponent is NOT on that being's level just yet!!
"Hm?" Tahny raised his eyebrow as blood shot from my wound, turning into a blade as his head goes flying!
"As I thought, you weren't bluffing about holding back, Dolphy-boy!"
"Neithah were you, Tahny, ya bloody yank. Show me what a scuzzy guzzlah such as yourself can do at this level!" My leg reformed using the blood that shot out from the nub. His head and body spewed blood from both open wounds. The two connected and quickly rejoined togethah as he floated back down to meh level.
"I'm low on time now, but you did as I knew you would, gov'nor. Good, gooood, jolly good~focking show!"
"Heh, well now we're here, Dolphy. So show me what it is you'd do once I revealed this form- hm? Oh.... I wasn't expecting THAT much!"
Tahny brazenly increased his essence in an attempt to overshadow my own. A powah move that's commonly used in situations like this one. But unfortunately for him, he could not breach me stature within this form. So when he used a few concepts to close the distance and cause damage simultaneously. I countahed by reflecting those concepts right back at him. I used my concept of Murdah to eliminate his ties to them. Successfully using my concept as a catalyst to match the othahs in use. Causing more than ten different concepts with similar core functions to go plowing into Tahny. His body contorted and swelled as he flew back. You could see the slight agony in his face, a look that lasted a mere ten seconds before he pounded his fists togethah. That simple gesture canceled all ailments and effects taking place on and within his body currently.
"Aaahh...." I rustled my goatee a bit as I smirked at Tahny.
"Hmm? What's the purpose of that idiotic look you're wearing, ya dick?"
"Heh... His original concept and main usage... It's Combat, gov'nors."
"Wait.... Did he just...
"Yeah, Zee... He figured out his actual concept. Tahny made it obvious from the get go!" ZeeNastasia went on to state.
"Oho-hooo? That's good to know, isn't it, dear?" ZeeNihilo asked as he now began to play with his goatee as well.
"Hmph, no wonder we could never best him in a fight. He's literally a master of the very concept, astounding." Anastasia states as she activated her Mental Zenchi. It seems she was attempting to test something out here.
"Hmph... That holds close to no weight here, Dolphy. After all, it's high time we kicked this to the scales at which we make use of our many concepts! What do you say... Dolphy-bo-
"I'd say I've already done so, slowpoke!"
"Nrhh!? He completely murdered the gap between us, and now, merely using my senses is somehow causing my body to shut down!!" Tahny thought to himself as he lost control and linkage to his body.
Within that very moment, I murderer the bond that keeps his body, essence, mind, and spirit as one. Me daggah would then be turned into four layers stacked atop one anothah. The first layah was blood, the second being nerves and information rolled into one. Me third layah was that of me murdah essence itself, then we have the souls of billions of my victims. Victims I piled up during me time as the first villain and Serial killah of me own verse. Billions is the least I could do, considering it's far less than one percent of the grand total. I used this layahed daggah to pierce through all four of his layahs at once. Singling in on his essence layah as I forced the othahs into absolute submission. His essence was massive even whilst only being able to access fifty percent. The fockin' thing was thick, and I couldn't manage to deplete it all without makin' meself vulnerable, mates. So I sliced his level in half, which should more than enough for what comes next.
"All done, and it took me less than milisecond to do!" I shouted as backed away.
"Tch... It feels like he sapped me if my strength somehow. I'll have to figure it out fast if I want to-
"Welp... That's it for me then, Tahny." I stated as I returned to my base state.
"WHAT!? What the fuck are you-
"As I said, that's it for me, it's going to be up to them now. I'm needed elsewhere! ZeeNanasa, darling, it's your team's turn to fight. Make sure you do well to claim victory, brats."
"Mhm- uh... Heh. It's about time!" ZeeNanasa stated as her essence began to skyrocket.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, Dolphy-boy! Where the fuck do you think you're goin-
"Make sure to watch these brats, Odin, me son. I'll see you soon!" I waved everyone a gracious goodbye, vanishing into the cosmos.
By this time, Tahny was stuck in a state of shock. Starting in disbelief as I fly away, leaving him to face the same children he has stomped into the dirt numerous times whilst in a weakah state. But that's always been me problem with this fool. He nevahs seems to learn when to quit undahestimating we Deities. Such is why he will nevah see what I did for those brats coming his way. Hehehe, isn't that right, lit~tle Zee?
It's damn right! Thank you, master Ripper, sir... I shall see you once again soon enough. Now that we've been given this golden opportunity, I wish to show our strange visitor something.
"Hey, Tahny!!!" I shouted.
"Hm? He really thinks these brats stand a chance against me, even now??" Tahny looked down at us like ants as he passed through the layers of the Colossaverse. Joining us at the multiversal level. He face told us he wasn't interested in fighting us in the slightest. Though he did seem to have his eyes focused in ZeeNastasia and YeeRashuri.
"Apologies, but they aren't the ones that'll be starting this fight." I stated, walking forward whilst my essence skyrockets.
"Oh yeah, lil bitch? Who will it be then, you?"
"Oh, you better believe it, "Tahny"." I continued to increase my strength whilst simultaneously transforming into my Infinity form.
"Hmph, you too, eh?" He asked as he now began to walk towards me.
We both stared the other down as our essence began to envelope the entire verse of Annihilation. At that moment, my mind became clear and the fear I once had of this prick was finally gone. I knew the stakes here and I know my life as well as so many others are on the line. My very spirit refused to allow such a thing to happen.
"You've underestimated us for the last time, Tahny!"
"Yeah, yeah... Yeah, whatever you say, ZeeNanasa. I'll kill you whilst making my way towards my real targets." He explained whilst coating his fist in Offensive Thingchi.
"Y'see... There you go again. Allow me to humble you, and show you...
The true strength of an Annihilo-Sect member!!"
