"Ok... This is probably the best environment to actually get into detail. But I'll tell you the same dhing I told my trusted team of peers. I CAN NOT disclose who gave us the mission and opened the gate. But everything else, is yours, usos. Xebeel here can vouch for my refusal as far as dhat goes." Melu explained. She pointed to me when everyone raised an eyebrow about refusal to disclose certain things.
"Tch, I guess you finally figured out what the head pat was about. But yeah, I searched through her noggin and found all the info, but when I tried to peep into who gave them the mission. The being blocked me out themselves. I'm no fool, so I know for a fact that it has to someone I know personally. But that can wait for another time." I explained to everyone.
"Mhm, appreciate that, Master Xebeel." Melu replied.
I nodded my head as I placed my hand in her shoulder briefly. It was to let her know that it was time to tell her tale.
"Hmm... I can honestly say I have no qualms about it at all. I could care less about a shadow within our verse. I want to know what she knows about Atomen. Do you agree, Brother Shiishii... Sister Xeno?" Lady Gaia asked from her monitor screen.
"I agree, let's get down to business already." Sista Xeno responded.
"Yes, please go on ahead and tell us of your knowledge, Young Melumini'itii. Heh... It's like looking at a member of STRIFE back in our young days." Brotha Shiishii smiled at Melu like a Dark Lord.
"Tuh... He's even more intimidating than Atomen. How dhefuck is dhat even possible, broh." Melumini'itii thought to herself. She nodded at everyone before clearing her throat.
"Alright, as you know, my two comrades and I left this Omniverse not long after the Impairo'o siblings. We were given a task if gathering information of the species and race known as Stuliathans. The monsters of the three primordial races, and our most known invading force as of now. I felt it necessary to do this, I knew it'd do us a great service within this Omniverse, so why not? The other two agreed with this notion as well. So we left and began our mission there as soon as we could. We never even had time to notify anyone. After all, we left as soon as we agreed, not even any luggage." Melumini'itii scratched her head a bit. Then she too a deep breath.
"We began our survey by scouting the different sections of their Omniverse, which took us more than ten thousand years to do. That Omniverse is very large, very... Very large. What we came to notice is that the verse is made of Zones. These are large areas that count as territory throughout the entire Omniverse and it's countless layers. Most of it is shared by all who live there. Though there is many zones that belong to the Dukes/Duchesses and Archdukes/Archduchesses. They're the reigning rulers of that realm on both the positive side and negative side, just like our verse. Those positions are seen as sacred and well sought after. So many Stuliathans hunt each other for rank and power to achieve the goal, and extend their influence to maintain it afterwards."
"Mhm, that's quite interesting to say the least. Who would've known they'd have such structure." ZeeNihilo shared his thoughts.
"Hmm... Before you go further into detail, I have to ask you something." Brotha Shiishiigami interrupted the flow of things for a moment.
"Sure, go right ahead, Lord Shiishiigami." Melumini'itii replied.
"You said you actually went through that entire Omniverse, or at least of it since it grew within those ten thousand years. So if that's the case, did you meet the sibling rulers by chance?" Brotha Shiishiigami asked.
"What the, how do you know about them, Shiishiigami!?" I stood up with an alarmed look on my face. That's knowledge only a few of us within this verse should know. A specific handful!
"Tuh, you should know by now that we are the reasons Studies were allowed into this verse by now, Brother Xebeel." Lady Gaia retorted. Smirking at me like I'm some sort of novice bruh!
"Wait... If you were the ones that allowed it, then that means you three-
"Right I, bruv. We went into that verse and met those two, as well as visiting Rhipundra and Hopsentry. We even got to meet the other two Stuliathans that are part of the twelve. Hehe, jealous?" Sista Xeno really gets under my skin.
"Yeah, quite a bit actually!" Anastasia responded.
"Rubbing shit in like that? Shame!" Cocomeico responded.
"Heh, you guys are pretty funny, uce. But yes, I met Emperor Corruptizahmill and Empress Purinityzahmisa, the ruling twin Stuliathans. And the hidden third ruler, Rhipundra, the youngest of the triplets. Dhey were the ones who taught us how to come in tune with our Stuliathan nature. That's why I can't even be considered a Goddess anymore. I became the Duchess of Extinction over dhere, usos." She smiled brightly at everyone. And we stared back at here, stunned to all hell!
"I knew I wasn't imagining things. You're a damn Stuliathan through and through!" I grabbed her shoulders as I examined her further.
"HA, she's a Stuliathan with goddess DNA at this point. This is incredible! And you mean to tell me the three Rulers of the Stuliathan Omniverse showed you the true way to train for this!?"
"Heh, yes Master Xebeel. Those three are frightening beings, but benevolent nonetheless. In their methods of teaching us, they had to force a way of life in us, and that was to indulge in their culture. Battle others of my new race and feats upon what they offer upon loss. It was almost like a trade of treasures. I always thought they ate one another, which does happen, but only in actual rivalries and grudges. Normally, the kiser shares a piece of themselves with all known concepts under their belt, woven into it. But the loser does live. Getting another chance to one day indulge in those they've lost against. It's a splendid culture and great way to share the wealth fairly. There's even an even amount of Dark Lords and Lords of Light. Truly balanced."
Melumini'itii went on to share the entirety of what she knows, during all this, the Annihilo-Sect team were busy showering and washing up after a long few days of fighting. But I'll let Zee tell you about that.
Hehe, easy to see why he wouldn't want to even peep in on this here. Nothing more to see other than a bunch of stacked goddesses washing off their bodies in the bathing area. Caressing our nipples and breasts with the lush feel of suds and lavender soap. The steam adding an extra bit a bliss to the entire thing. We all fooled around a bit, splashing the water about whilst chasing after one another. Shi'Ho-ho was still a perv and couldn't help playing with everyone's breasts. And Prono forbid if you were single, cause her fingers were definitely going elsewhere. You could hear the gods laughing at us whilst their sparred somemore with their rods swinging everywhere. Guess you could say it was a great way to calm our nerves. Though... It was just another way for me to bury my despair a bit more. For me, I still wished to see results from everything I've done. So this is dire to me more than anything else besides my family. It was truly important, important that I win this damn battle alongside the Omniverse with no casualties in sight. A compete victory, THAT'S what will rid me of my despair once and for all.
We finished getting ourselves cleaned up and decided to relax whilst Melu finished her meeting with everyone. We shared drinks, meals and stories of our lives when we separated from one another. It was truly the calm before a distant, coming storm.
But while we all dealt with bliss in preparation for terror in living form, our terror was dealing with his own treachery. It would seem that his body still hasn't fully recovered from what had happened when he fought our comrades. Every function he uses to reign supreme was screaming in agony as they try to pry past the odd effects that have befallen them. It almost looked like he had been poisoned by something vile. But these symptoms also look eerily familiar to what I have seen before. But I can't quite put my finger on it.
"AAAUUURRRRGH!!! S-Somone... ANY ONE of my loyal followers. I-I n-nEEeed you to bring the D-Duchess of Healing toooo... MEEE-AAAUUURRGH!!!" Atomen screamed out in horror and pain as his body fought against itself.
He squirmed, curled up and roared in agony. Cursing the day he ever allowed his hunter's instincts to throw him into a fight that isn't worth the trouble. Luckily for him, a follower answered his call.
"My Lord of Darkness, I have heard your plea for help. I shall go receive what's needed and return promptly. Please keep yourself together until I bring her here." The humanoid Stuliathan lying within the shadows made their leave.
"Tsskk!!! H-Hurrryyy... Moleignos(Moe • Leej • Nos). HURRRYYY!!!" Atomen writhes in agony even more. Watching as the particles within himself continued to try and destroy the regenerating cells and particles as soon as they could.
"Ngh, it's even- DIFficult to f-form actual thoughts... right nowwww. DAMN YOU BOY!! How can... S-someone from the f-fou- f-fourth Omniverse EEveeenn duh-d-do thisss MUUUUUCCCHH!!?!?" Atomen was truly lost when searching for an answer. An answer as to why inhabitants from the Fourth Omniverse came to deliver a deadly blow to his being. Did they know what he was going to do soon enough?? Maybe they truly were ascended Deities that wished to feast upon a very powerful Stuliathan? These are answers he wouldn't have an answer to until he would eventually cross over into our reality.
He waited for a quite some time before his subordinate was able to grab and bring the Duchess of Healing to Atomen. Upon their arrival, he attempts to take in her essence and concept of healing, only to fail thanks to Josie.
"Tuh, it'll be well beyond thousands of years before you can put a lid on me, monster. Enjoy the agony even after she heals you, IF she heals you, you dumbass. Hahahahhaaaaa!!!" Josie used his thought waves to communicate with Atomen. Making sure to rub salt in the wounds of Atomen as he continues to squirm. Watching as the Duchess of Healing walks towards him. Strutting through the darkness of his realm as if she owns the place.
She looked almost like a Deity until she got into actual view. She had on a long, skintight green dress that perfectly completely the emerald green, serpent tail coming from underneath the dress. Her hips were wide and perfectly suited for allowing the ancient, bracer belt that she totes to sit perfectly on her waist. It held a large medallion within its serpent shaped buckle. Her body was thick, yet long as hell. Even her arms naturally dropped down far enough for her hands to grip her damn knees. Her body was wrapped in majestic plant life and clouds that formed into a god sash. Instead of heels, she walked around barefoot and planted her feet in a certain way. One that nearly immitates the fashion of heels. Her face was young looking with half of it being covered down to the nose. Her lips were colored in a glowing green light, the same one that can be found on her pearly, yet long and sharp finger nails. Her hair hid her eyes and even moved freely, for her lovely lochs were actually made of snakes! She was the shining Duchess of Healing, or better to say... She was one that set of duchess before ascending to Archduchess territory. The gorgeous and powerful Stuliathan, Medusaria(Muh • deuce • air • ee • uh) made her appearance.
"Hmph, what a pathetic sight to see you in, my son." She stepped on her own child, forcing him to roar in agony once more.
"M-Mother... I need your abilities, s-so... That I MAY heaaaal-UH!!" Atomen pleaded with his mother for her assistance.
"Ugh, you're as useless as your father, Atomen. Then your ridiculous brother up and disappeared on us all those years ago. This bloodline has been disappointing to say the least." Lady Medusaria pulled her foot off of Atomen. And proceeded to scan his person using her Mindscape Stuliachi. She came to notice his problem and the route cause of it. She snickered a bit after seeing what she saw. Her actions thus far have only come to piss Atomen and Moleignos off entirely. But that was something she could care less about.
"Hmph, I will do nothing about the being within you, you silly Stuliaguppy. Having our yourself into this situation due to greedy hunger is just... Pathetic." She chuckled even more. Adding more salt to the wounda of agony that Atomen, and further more, Moleignos now felt. It was fueking the technique she prepared for Atomen. It had just become ripe enough for her to use.
"D-Damn youuu, motherrrr!" He snarled and hissed at her as they made eye contact.
"Oh hush, you fool. I needed more of your grief and agony to fuel my technique. I refuse to use my actual power to heal these measle wounds. And note.. note that I'll never help with solving problems and trouble you bring to your own doorstep. Be warned my son, you are not yet at the strength needed to succeed against the fourth. This here should be your proof. Do better, ol' brat of mine, because a benevolent force such as myself will do you no good. Do not rely on me any further moving forward. I have my own realm to run, mmkay? Ta-ta now." She walked out into the darkness after healing her son.
Atomen rose to his feet, fully rejuvenated and rarin' to go. He even shadow boxed and released his essence just to make sure. The look on his face showed great amounts of satisfaction, it also showed disappointment. This only got worse when he looked in the direction his mother walked. Then into himself where he could find a cage made of Josie's essence. It was made like a man cave and was a staple for Josie's dominance in the situation. Atomen knew he'd fail if he dint attain enough power first. He needed it if he wished to destroy us, and knock Josie down... All in one swift turn.
"Nyeeeh! Moleignos...
"Lord?"
"We have work to do." Atomen turns to walk into a crack within his realm. It was a path he had once sealed off in the past. Now he and his right hand will use it to traverse thier realm and find more strength for what's to come.
Meanwhile, back within the fourth Omniverse, we were finally getting ready to commence our training. Melu finished with her meetings and joined us after getting some much needed rest. We all met within the old training realm my mom once used to kick our asses. It would there that we all rise to become greater individual beings than the next. Increasing our base strength and the strength of our forms as much as possible. All in the attempt to match STRIFE blow for blow.
Xebeel met us in the realm, showing up as we were already stretching and getting prepared. Behind him sat Jah'malle and the founders of Young STRIFE. Along with a few leaders from the different generations of Young STRIFE. That would include Lady Dannadise, Lady Xeno, and my younger sister, ZeeNasia. We all rejoiced when we saw who Master Xebeel bought as special guests. Greeting everyone with open arms.
"Aye, where the hell did you find the time to grab them? You've been with us this entire time-" Heemy watched as the clone of Jah'malle melted into a puddle of essence. Flowing into the real Jah'malle once more.
"Heh, come on now, b. I've been activated my true potential and capable individuality, b. Word to, ya boy been training with Master Xebeel more than anybody!" Jah'malle flexes the inflated strength of his base form.
This development left everyone in ah. For this was proof we could truly gain higher strength, we have yet to hit any ceiling within ourselves. So now, alongside the royalty of Young STRIFE, and the guidance of our Masters. We would finally begin our journey down the path to greater means of strength. Strength that would successfully pose a threat to...
...The monster that is, Atomen!"
Whilst they prepare for such trials, and the massive hurdle ahead of them. I watch onward from afar, predicting how it will all pan out for little ZeeNanasa and the others. Watching as she and her bloodline become my nemesis inevitably. Hehe...
"Let's see how well you handle this threat, ZeeNanasa. Only to eventually be forced to deal with me, Seightahn, once more!"
