Chapter 2 - Many Worlds Pt.1

Iruna sighed in frusteration, clearly annoyed by the constant violence displayed on his first day. He knew these people would be crazy and strong but they were on the borderline evil. This meant he had to establish his role here and now grind his way to the top to become the strongest, but not just in the academy. He wanted to be the strongest in the world, he wanted to conquer the infinity of space and replace the one supreme god.

"Alright. Then I'll become the fifth ranking student right here and now by crushing you."

Iruna exclaimed in an eerily calm tone, his right arm slowly rising up and his hand clenching into fist. Then his opponent shot forward in a blur, a subtle ripple following along the burst of speed that shifted the winds if ever so slightly.

Now both Iruna and the fifth ranking student, Omoni Hayate, were locked in a stalemate. Both forearms clashed against each other in a display of dominance that were equal in strength, and so Iruna pushed against Omoni's forearm, resulting in the stalemate being broken. Iruna took this opprotunity to guide his opponent arms up as well while stepping back with his right leg, his luminated red eyes locked into Onomi's own emerald colored eyes.

Onomi recovered faster than Iruna expected. Onomi stepped forward but instead of attacking head on, he dipped low towards Iruna's left. Onomi arms then shot forward and wrapped around Iruna's waist in a solid lock, both hands locked onto his own forearms. Iruna eyes widened in shock at the sudden grapple and was lifted from the ground with practical ease.

"Awe shi-"

Iruna proclaimed and like a comedy show, Onomi slammed Iruna onto the cold marbeled floor, cutting off whatever inappropiate word he was about to say. Iruna groaned in pain whilst Onomi stood tall with a cocky grin, listening to the students 'ooo' at the display.

"She was right. For a newly awakened god, your pathetic."

Onomi proclaimed with a clear tone of disdain, his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl evident on his face. He then reached out his left arm but suddenly, Iruna was right in his face. Before Onomi could react, he felt a burning sensation around his stomach and upon looking down, he noticed a big hole around his midsection. Open, wide , and clear with no sign of blood. The only thing that remained was Iruna's stretched out arm and open palm that stopped just short of the hole.

"Allow me to show you the difference between us."

Iruna voiced echoed not in just physical space but even within the mind. It was like a giant hammer hitting a giant bell. Numbing and unnecassary. In seconds they were surrounded by the vast depths of space. Countless stars scattered in the distance to give light to the darkness, cosmic phenomena's laid dormant before their very eyes.

"I don't know why or how I gained this power, but I was born to devour it all. Though I can't see it yet, I understand that there are countless worlds and countless possibilities. Though without a doubt, I am no god. I am a devourer."

Iruna preached in moments, the vacuum of space was consumed by a raging crimson like inferno, darkness now reigning supreme. Onomi eyes shot open in confusion, his body stumbling backwards from the event that played out.

"N-No. Its not possibls!"

Onomi screamed in a fit of despreat rage and jealousy. Torrents of electricity rushed out of his body in a frenzy, stray bolts striking against random magnetic objects.

Meanwhile, Iruna lifted his hand to his face, his fingers slightly covering the grin he had on his face. A feint trace of crimson mist steadily flowed with the wind.

"I told you. I'll be the strongest in the world"

Iruna stated boldly, the mist now gathering in a chaotic swirl around Onomi. The electricity was rendered obsolete against the intangible mist. Onomi could only watch as it took shape and solidified around himself, encasing him in a coffin of eternal slumber.

Chaos Art - Coffin of Nightmares

It was shaped and look exactly like a regular coffin, yet the front was carved with a star and a cross through it. Now, Iruna stood facing the coffin with his arms crossed.

"Look at you now...pathetic."

Iruna proclaimed to the coffin that held Onomi captive in a realm of nightmares. The excess mist then swirled around his hand and stretched into a sword, seemingly tangible in form but made of chaotic energy. A raging conceptual energy, born to destroy, manifested into reality.

"Alright, Enough. We'll establish your ranking after class"

The teacher commanded to which Iruna obeyed by dispering the sword back into the realm of the metaphysical. Iruna slid his hands into his pockets and walked away, the coffin dispering back into mist and fading into the framework of reality, leaving a shaken and broke down Onomi.

"H-h-he's evil!. He's nothing but PURE EVIL. HE SHOULDN'T EXIST!. HE CAN'T EXIST!"

Onomi yelled out in delusion, his eyes clearly shaking in insanity as he glared daggers at Iruna. Then he stood up. Yet he was gone just seconds later, a delayed discharge of electricity spanning across the ground.

"Iruna watch out!"

The teacher exclaimed loudly in worry yet Iruna seemed unphased. Each step echoed as if he was walking towards death door. An indifference expression on his as Onomi appeared right in front of him, knife in hand which was embued with electromagnetism.

Onomi suddenly fell to the ground, his mouth hanging open as crimson liquid pooled from his mouth, forcing him to violently cough. Iruna simply stood there and walked past him, delivering a simple glance that expressed the joy from the total domination.

"What did you do?!"

The teacher yelled out in despair, rushing over to his student that was throwing up blood.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine for a couple days. At least physically."

Iruna proclaimed with a tone of indifference but a subtle hint of arrogance touched his tounge yet it was gone unnoticed by the mass. In the far distance, a women with long black braided hair licked with crimson at the tips and chocolate skin with orange colored eyes, stood with her arms crossed and a subtle eyebrow lifted.

"So that's what they mean by butterfly effect. It was majestic."
