Tournament: Round one, finale

''Thank you for joining us for the last day of round one! I hope you have been enjoying the fights so far because today we will start with a demon lord candidate! William, gods' divinity! he will be fighting against the world's greatest necromancer in all the realms, Lazarus the escapee of the lowest plain!''

The announcer yelled and the crowd cheered.

''Hey, kid! I did not escape an entire plain and went up to the immortal plain just for you to kill me. So I'm telling you this now, quit!''

Lazarus said with anger in his voice.

Will looked at the old bearded man, he looked like a dead body that was wearing a wizard's cloak but Will could see the fire in his eyes.

''I'm sorry sir but I need to win as part of my training''

Will answered the old man and saw how the old man's expression became disappointed.

''Oriri mortem!''

Lazarus yelled and the ground began to crack.

Skeletons of warriors were coming out of the cracks.

''Divinitus''

Will said and light was shown through the skulls of the dead skeletons and their bodies became ash.

''What? It can't be! Spells like this are what helped me escape the death plain! How can a child like you be able to prevent me from surviving!''

The old man said and then his eyes opened up widely like a mad man.

''Gods' divinity he called you, you are one of the people with the essence of those bastards who doomed us all. Aren't you?!''

The old man started accusing Will but Will used 'divinitus' again but this time on Lazarus himself, which made it clear that in his final moments he wasn't really alive.

''The winner is the demon lord candidate, William, gods' divinity!''

The announcer yelled and the crowd cheered.

Will went backstage and saw Danny waiting for him.

''We need to find what are the plains''

Will said without looking toward Danny.

''We will find out when we get to the devil's castle back in Azazel. I don't know if it's in my place to say this but I truly believe that if Sun Wukong wouldn't have switched sides he will be proud of your performance''

Danny said.

''But it's not your place to say that''

The voice of Sun Wukong was heard in the room.

Both Will and Danny switched to fighting stances in surprise.

''Based on your surprise I guess that my gods' magic control is the greatest if even you, Danniel can't notice me, but it's okay. I just wanted to see my disciple in action and as his mentor, I need to thank you Danniel, for training him''

Sun Wukong said and then a smoke cloud appeared at one of the rooms' corners and the source of the voice vanished.

********

''The last fight of the first round is the half vampire of the Baal family, Mira versus gods' immortality, the great sage equal of heaven, Sun Wukong!!!!''

The announcer yelled and he sounded more excited than ever before.

Mira stood at her side of the arena waiting but Sun Wukong wasn't waiting at his side of the arena.

Then, he appeared with sunglasses, a suit, and his trusted staff, Rúyì Jīngū Bàng.

''Mira, baby, what's up''

Sun Wukong said casually with a smirk and proceeded to look at the audience and said.

''In two months this realm will be destroyed! So you should go to the realms of creation because it is the last destination in my gods' plans!''

Whispers started to spread in the audience.

''Oh, and Danniel. This next fight is a reminder from my god. None of you are safe''

As he said those last words, his face became more serious than even the most serious Danny saw of him in the year they spent together.

In less than a blink of an eye, Sun Wukong appeared in front of Mira and touched her chest with his finger.

Her body was tossed to the other side as if she was shot by a cannon and she was not able to stand back up.

''No, Mira!''

Chaos yelled.

'This isn't going as planned, it is so chaotic! What should I do?'

Chaos thought to himself and then he remembered what Mira told him when they were training.

[Try going with the chaos instead of controlling it]

''Evocatio chaos!''

Chaos yelled with rage and the sword finally completely conjured in his hand.

The sword wasn't the only thing that was different, as he let the chaos reign. His entire body changed chaotically until he became a brown haired guy, with tan skin and green eyes.

Chaos jumped into the arena with his sword at hand and without overthinking it to save his friend.

Sun Wukong reached with his staff towards Miras' head but chaos' sword blocked it.

Sun Wukong's eyes lightened up and he said.

''Incredible! So you are finally able to use the sword! Too bad if you keep on using it, I will have to kill you''

''Yeah right, as if you can''

Chaos answered and decapitated Sun Wukongs' head.

Sun Wukong's body vanished in smoke and reappeared a few meters away.

''They don't call me gods' immortality for nothing''

Sun Wukong said with a playful tone but his face was even angrier than before.

Out of nowhere, Sun Wukong's staff started elongating on its own and nearly pierced Chaos' chest but it was stopped.

It was a somewhat old looking demon with hair as brown as Chaos' hair and eyes as green as Chaos' eyes, he had wide shoulders and a mascely build. He wore an ancient Greek military uniform without a helmet and unlike a normal uniform, this one had pants.

It was Atlas who came to save his disciple from an unstoppable force.

''Number two, you came!''

Sun Wukong said with happiness.

''Why did you call me that''

Atlas asked in confusion.

''So like me, you also lost your memories. If you want to know more then ask Quies''

Sun Wukong said as he finally understood something.

Chaos looked at this mid battle casual conversation and he finally understood something.

The real difference between the ones who were gifted and everybody else is that the gifted are monsters.

For starters, it doesn't matter if they were born to mortals or immortals, or even to gods. Gifted will never decay. Even immortals decay over time but gods and gifted will never decay.

Secondly, because gifted have special powers even compared to hybrids and mutations. And because they have all the time in the world until someone will kill them, they can train for eternity and become unstoppable.

Thirdly, because the older a gifted is, the stronger he is, then the old gifted fight with speed and skill that no one else can match.

''Emma, let's go save Mira''

Danny said as he saw how things were going.

''Will, Momotaro, I need you two to help stop Sun Wukong!''

Danny said and both he and Emma went into the arena.

''Oh, so you also want to join the war''

Gods' memories said.

''Why can't anything go as planned!''

Danny yelled in frustration but just before he attacked them a familiar face greeted Danny.

''So that's where you've been, Anti!''

Yeshua said to his nephew and blocked gods' memories' attacks.

''Mark, I need your help!''

Yeshua called his crew member.

In the blink of an eye, an average man with a greatsword in each hand appeared and started fighting another person who had just shown up.

It was an archangel with one arm and a score to settle.

''Lucifers' bastard, you bastard!''

Gabriel yelled towards Danny as he was blocked by Mark.

''Just keep going''

Yeshua said as he fought.

''Mira are you okay?''

Emma asked her best friend as she started healing her.

''Danniel! You never learn, do you? No creature who is not a god can kill us!''

The all enchanter said.

''Well, I'm three quarters a god. so if your powers are passed by blood, I'm good''

Danny said and unsheathed his knife.

An explosion was heard and a dust cloud appeared, and out of the dust cloud gods' authority appeared and started yelling at the all enchanter.

''How dare you destroy MY tournament in MY city!''

''Shut up, you ungrateful shit''

The all enchanter said and with a small movement of his hand gods' authority was shot to the stands.

''Dad!''

Quies screamed towards her father.

In a blink of an eye the all enchanter appeared before her and asked.

''I truly thank you for returning the monkeys' memories. Could you do the same thing for your father?''

Danny dashed as fast as possible and almost reached the all enchanter so Quies wasn't forced to do anything.

''Stop meddling, I don't need you anymore''

The all enchanter said.

''Shohet elim''

Danny said and his blade started to glow.

The blade hit the all enchanter!

The blade snapped!

''You thought that this would be enough? The gods this spell is meant for, are fakes like that monkey. Not real gods''

The all enchanter said with pity in his voice.

The all enchanter vanished and with him, all of his crew and now, Quies as well.

''Quies!''

Danny yelled towards the place where she stood before.

********

A few minutes before.

''Oh, so my disciple chose to fight me? You know we are no match''

Sun Wukong said as he hit Will but instead of affecting him, it was absorbed by the divine protection he activated for himself.

Two swordsmen and two gifted were fighting one gifted monkey and no one was able to land a fatal blow, at best they were capable of doing so but then he reappeared a few meters away.

''So, number two. Do you remember what happened to number six?!''

Sun Wukong asked.

''He wanted us to make him into a sacrifice so that we will be able to revive the all enchanter, what about it?''

Atlas asked.

''How did you know I was referring to Budha, God's divinity?''

Sun Wukong asked.

Atlas' eyes widened in shock as he realized at least a part of what his enemy was saying was true.

''What does it matter!? You still plan of erasing countless lives''

Atlas said.

''I just want to do to them, what day did to us''

Sun Wukong said.

''Who are they?!''

Atlas asked in confusion.

''The six 'sane' gods''

Sun Wukong said as if it was obvious and there was a clear detest in his voice when he called them sane.

''Oh it seems my times up, bye''

Sun Wukong vanished at the same time as the all enchanter and the rest of their team.

''No, master!''

Will screamed as he tried to grab his mentor but Sun Wukong had already vanished.

''So, what now?''

Momotaro asked and everybody looked towards the broken Danny who was standing in the stands with an expression of pure despair.
