So... What is the Trial of the Strongest Awakening? Well it's a simple concept that was created to awaken the dormant Drives within STRIFE. OH!! You probably think this is ZeeNanasa talking, but it's BIG Xebeel in this muuuuhhg, BITCH! Uh, eh-erm... Excuse my riled up nature right now, I'm just a sucker for the Trial is all. Now as for why such a concept slightly changed and became a method used to train generations. Well... That's simple as hell to answer.
You see, I initially just wanted the team I was joining to be up to par with where I was in strength back then. It was needed in order to overcome an enemy we were facing back then. But what changed it wasn't the effectiveness it had and we all thought, "Maybe others can benefit!!" No, no noooo... It was even more than that! I got to see a bunch of beings already on my level before I ended up awakening. All with such naive mindsets on how to increase their individual stature, plus they were a team of great cooperation and discipline. Yet... This method, this way of training and going at one another like enemies they can pal around with. It gave rise to exactly what I'd hoped for, great Drive awakenings. But it also further awakened their hunger for greater strength, greater purpose as individuals, not just as a team. It allowed competitive spirit and an actual drive for more to enter their spectrums. That awakening of potential, strength, stature, maturity in combat, and individuality. Yeaaaah... It gave rise to the tradition you see unfolding with Zee and the others today. Hehehee, this is gonna be greaaaat!!!
And yes, I'll be taking the reigns for this one. Best t have a third person give the play by play rather than the goddess herself. So let's hop right into this shit y'all
Currently, I'm sitting back with ZeeNihilo, Anastasia, the coco siblings, and a number of Annihilo-Royale Guards. They're the strongest guards within the entire Colossaverse, only challenged by the High Guard of the Erasure Clan. We all watch inward as the likes of Annihilo-Sect finally go through the trial I've been suggesting since the beginning. As for why I was suggesting it, heh... You'll find out in the future.
We go into the massive free-for-all to find ZeeNastasia taking on Sinnthia and Timozzia. She had interrupted their bout with a massive Annihilation blast. They managed to Ruin the attack and force it waaaay off coarse. Taking the fight to ZeeNastasia, closing in on an all out brawl between Silmadrag and YeeNessa of all people. Maaaan neither one seems to want to give an inch. Just three seconds before interruption and these monsters threw countless strikes. YeeNessa was learning to lean on boxing technique with a mixture of kickboxing and dancing. She likes to keep the footwork loose and free, ready to mix it up in even the most cornered of situations. She bobbed to the left, then to the right, following that with a jabbing feint, then a rising uppercut to the jaw when Silmadrag fell for it. He completely shattered the damage and impact as soon as her essence around the fist. Touched his essence shrouded around his body. Allowing him to counter with a brazen flurry of lunches that forced her on the defensive.
"Man, look at em all go. Oh yeah, y'all trynna hit this or...
"Nah."
"Tch, caught me at a bad time for that, Xebeel!"
The coco siblings seemed to be indulging in times of purity with their bodies. Shame... I think I pissed them off.
"After ZeeNihilo, of course." Anastasia responded.
"Shiieeet, sure. I can't be serious when I'm around you outside of meetings and battle. You knew damn well I was not turning this down." ZeeNihilo began taking hits from the blunt I rolled up. Whilst we enjoyed that, the Annihilo group started to get a little ballistic.
ZeeNanasa was ramming into everyone during a blitzing rage of annihilative fury. A technique she created a few centuries ago. It made use of his many masteries of the Annihilation concepts, allowing them to run rampant within a shell she wraps around her body. This shell allows holes within its making in order to force leakage of the violent essence. This violence it embodies becomes the most brutal and unstable when making direct contact with a another being. Such was the massive carpet of explosions that ensued moments later. They blew everyone away, interrupting many battles all at once.
"Tch, ZeeNanasa... You BRAT!" YeeRashuri waved her arm and erased all that was effected by its gust. But all it revealed was guarded bodies flying back a bit. And a flaming fist of destruction coming towards her medulla. ReighHeem was about to perform unusual work to her facial region in all honesty. Really rocked her into next week, mayne.
But just as young Heemy blew her away, his striking arm was pierced by an arrow. Another arrow created light and ground was made so that a shadow could be casted. His second arrow struck that shadow and held its owner in place. ZeeNanasa and many others feel to this technique. Even the wife of the user, someone who knows how it works, forgot about it in the heat of battle. Dila the Third Sharpshooter was on they ass, I'm TELLIN' you.
"Now that you little insects have been caught, allow the spider to bite down, HARD. For only I shall prevail here!! Treacherous Reign of Wind Lord! Arrow Fall!!"
Dila fired an alarming amount of arrows onto the entire battlefield. Each one produced enough wind to be considered a hurricane of unthinkable might. Mix more than one million of them and everyone around began to have their moisture sucked from them as arrows cut open wounds from every direction. Even when some started to escape after such an onslaught, they were met with bullets piercing pieces of the shadows they left behind. Considering everyone can move well beyond that of light. More than enough speed to literally leave your shadow in the dust. He knew they'd all dash off that fast and was aiming for the shadows the entire time. His bullets caused holes within the shadows that would immediately show up on the body of the shadows' owners.
"Tch, how did he!? Damn Dila has gotten strong!!" ZeeNanasa thought to herself as she annihilated the bullet wound on her leg.
"Yeeeah, he's strong as hell alright. But the ol' tyke only went and fed meh fuel, that's fasho."
"Ghonny!?" Dila turned to fire his pistol.
"Heh, you're a foolish one, thinking you can out speed me on a well fed tummy!"
"Tch, damn! Feeding him was a mistake!!" Dila thought to himself as he witnessed a bloody fist, thrashing though the distance between them.
"Take this one on for size, yeah? Active the Bloody Concept: Bloody Whirlwind of the Gale FIST!!"
Dila was struck in his stomach by the full might of Ghonny's left fist. His blood was turned into a mess of whirlwinds, hurricanes, and turnados. Tearing his entire body up from the inside. Maaaan these lil mofos remind me so much of STRIFE back when we did this crazy shit, bruh.
"Damn, I really shouldn't have fire into the crowd like that. He even knows about my mastery of the regeneration concept now! SHI-
Dila crashed into his own created ground, becoming a wind bomb that tore through the battle field. Everyone began to use their essence as a way to negate the ongoing attack. Ghonny saw that as a chance to devour their essence from above. He summoned his kitchen weapons kit and dug right in. Chowing down on their essence as each escaped the grasp of the powerful wind, one by one. You could truly see the look of a satisfied demon on his face before something interrupted it all.
"GAHCK!! What.. the.. heellll!!? Something burning my body from the inside!? Even my psyche and soul have been affected!!"
"Quite the trick, eh? Be careful what you ingest, Ghonny. My husband and I like to test our new chemicals quite a bit. Write down the results, Tessy." Shi'Ho-ho kicked Ghonny into the grounds below. Making good use of the floor Dila made earlier on.
"Already done, deary!" Tessy gives Shi'Ho-ho a kiss in the cheek before having his ribs shattered by Kokonovski.
"Dropping guard during battle, naughty, cocky, little bastards you are!" Koko and Shi'Ho-ho fought like wild animals after she watched his husband squirm from the pain.
"That crazy bimbo really shattered me ribcage, yeah?? Son of a ... BITCH!!" Tessy healed his wounds overtime whilst using a chemical dome made of essence to fend off any wild attacks.
"Hm? Oh wow... Tessy is actually participating with us, huh? That means he wishes to face Atomen alongside Shi'Ho-ho. Good... Let's see what he can do then!" Primo dashed after a healed Tessy before he could go off and assist Shi'Ho.
He turned and noticed who was raced towards him. He kept up this face of someone riddled with intimidation and fear. But that would soon turn into a sinister smile the moment Primoz got too close. A shower of powerful acid shot out into the face and body of Primoz. You could hear his manic screams of pain as his body lunges through the wave. Skin peeling, burning, sizzling, and shriveling up as it falls.
"If only I wasn't already immune, idiot!!" Primoz smiled at Tessy, who could only look onward in shock.
"What in the- not only is he immune. But he shed four layers of skin and replicated the tissues they once contributed to. Making it look like my attack was successful. If that's the case, then he's the god wh-
The boy Tessy was sent flying during his inner monologue. He trounced and bounced around like one of those lil' bouncy balls you used to throttle around your room in one bounce. Thinking you were The Flash with your lil' slow ass reflexes. Yeah, that was Tessy, except... Picture that same scenarios but with the ball going crazy in one direction down a long ass tunnel. Yeah, that's the right description right there. Hold on... Lemme' hit this.
Yeah, so anyways... Primoz kept swatting that boy like a soccer ball with all them damn kicks he used. Had that boy trying his damn hardest to catch his footing. But when he realized he wouldn't be allowed such a easy way out, he whipped out his clipboard. Then in a familiar fashion that I've only seen from one other person, the science geek wrote down the formula for momentum and calculating true distance. Then he brought them into reality to encompass his current situation. All of a muthafucking sudden... Primoz couldn't land a muthafuckin' thang, mayne.
Every precise strike he threw was altered by some kind of force. It was science being used to the benefit of someone in combat. I thought it was a mere coincidence until the geek looked me in my eyes. Averting his gaze immediately after when he noticed I was watching their fight more than the others. Then my answer was clear, he was trained by Chezzims the Scientist.
As Primoz tried to figure out what was going on so he could cause Decay to it. Seikosen, Snowrunt, Timozzia, and ReighHeem were in the midst of a four way brawl. ReighHeem initially was surrounded by a storm of essence. Extermination, Obliteration, and Disintegration of the highest potency. ReighHeem used a wall of destruction to feel out the strong attacks whilst destroying the weak. He'd make precise counters during their time of attacking each other. All in an attempt to knock out three adversaries at once. But an unexpected turn of events came about. Their attacks all cancelled each other our, finally. Leaving their field if battle open from close quarters. It was a very meek moment, leaving little room for decision making. Which is why those who hesitated for even an attosecond... We're throttled back by strikes. Seikosen and Heemy got the drop on the other two and made a miraculous move for a take over. Only to start a brawl of strike exchanges. Blood flew all over the place with the way they were beating each other senseless.
"Hmph, auntie Seikosen can't beat Dad in battle. I've fought them both, so I should know!"
"Heh, usually I'd agree with an assessment made by our little genius, ZeeNotea. But in this case... This trial they're participating in was made to dub thoughts like that. Your assessment would be right if not for the fact that .. Seikosen still holds the highest potential." ZeeNihilo explained to his granddaughter.
"Still a good assessment, just gotta lose the naivety and gain some experience. So watch closely, especially when it comes to your mom and dad." I encouraged the young ones to get a good look at the checkpoints. The walls they'd have to come over if they wished to become great warriors like their parents.
By now, days had gone by as they continued to fight like made men. Many had dropped from exhaustion, leaving only the most awakened individuals to Duke it out. Melu swing her suckle all over the place in an attempt to trap the other five in a corner. To her surprise, ZeeNastasia managed to catch her suckle blade, pulling her in before knocking her into the next realm over. Baby girl was snoring like a baby, but I can say. It was definitely due to her exhaustion, she fought more members than any other. But before ZeeNastasia could even turn around, she was blasted alongside her cousin, her sister from their previous life. They used each other to stay within the mix of things.
"Tch, they've been tag teaming all the stronger fighters this entire time!" ZeeNastasia stated.
"Yeah, but... Not as if we didn't jump, Seikosen, Zee, Yee, and even Melu." YeeRashuri rebuttals.
They both sigh and erupt with the remnants of the essence they had left in the tank. Forcing the other into a frenzy as well. It was looking really messy, seeing as those remnants from the final fighters, yeah... They were all strong enough to damage the unconscious fighters or the ones frozen from exhaustion even further. By the time the large cloud formed by their final spat dispersed. We could see the silhouettes of two fighters. One who landed a punch to the jaw, and the one who received it. But to my honest surprise... The one who received it, took that damn hit and struck their adversary in the gut. Leading our nice, little trial to close finally. The one who was left standing was none other than Seikosen. She left no doubt as she withstood the punishment of this trial and even overcame ZeeNanasa during a crazed episode. Truly an impressive display.
"Heh... You were right grandpa. So many variables are thrown into the mix and they make for unsuspecting endings. Conclusions that only beings beyond fate can obtain." ZeeNotea smiled as her persona changed just slightly.
She flew towards her parents and the others. ZeeNanasa recovered quickly, rising to her feet as Seikosen began to fall. But before she could help out, Seikosen caught herself, her pupils completely gone, but her presence and conscious were loud as can be. She gritted her teeth and let out the snarl of a mad beast. Then she let out a rally cry that surprised everyone. A rally cry that would soon turn into a harmonic roar that blessed every single one of her comrades with essence and stamina. By the time she was done, her pupils returned and her levels calmed. Her body was healed and she was ready for action.
"Wow... Just, boy o' boy! We've found the Heirien of their group. Tuh! I'd say they're ready now, ZeeNihilo!"
"I'd have to agree with that one, Xebeel. Let's get them all inside for some rest. Then it'll be that time, yeah?"
"Time for us to whip these suckers into shape. Did you call, them?" Anastasia asked
"Heh, don't even fret, we've got a good amount of helping hands coming to assist us in this endeavor. I sent one of the Annihilo members over to get'em all. We will be more than ready for that abomination, Atomen!" I proclaimed.
We all smiled triumphantly, only to be interrupted by Shiishiigami and his transmission. It's like he could sense what was happening and decided to wait until it was over. Wouldn't surprise me if he linked with me to view it all in real time. I wouldn't know, was far too into the action to give a damn. Either way, it was time for us to commence our strategy meeting while Annihilo-Sect got their shit together. Nothing a little rest won't fix. HA!
"Mhm... We've got our needed individuals together for this, including Melumini'itii of Annihilo-Sect. Are you ready to get this started, leaders of STRIFE?" I asked Shiishii and the others.
"Yes indeed, we are most definitely ready to commence this. We need be undoubtedly prepared for this level of strength. So please do tell us, Lady Melumini'itii...
What did you learn in the Stuliathan Omniverse?"
