CH. 110: Calamity

"The world is crumbling at very fast speed." Akira said.

"It is indeed. Reality cannot contain those powerful entities anymore. It's starting to crumble, if Nyx doesn't finish this now, it'll be the end of this world you call Danmachi" Alice responded.

While these two greater beings discussed the situation, Nyx just happened to use her trump card, which consisted in sealing up the Wind Titan and using his powers against the others.

"Maybe I should intervene..." Akira pronounced.

Alice got startled a second after hearing him say so, earning him the following response, "No way. She's supposed to be a Goddess yet she can't even defeat mere titans."

"Sigh.. I know but it's her who buffed them so ridiculously.." He said.

"I'm not a Goddess, I'm an Omniscient Intelligent Core. Yet, I can erase her from everyone's memories with just the thought of it..." Alice said, her sharp eyes twitching in anger and veins popping on her flesh.

"...Not just her... but every single girl that comes close to you Master...." She said with a deep bloody voice. Akira was surprised to hear that, he didn't expect to become the ultimate edgy yandere type.

"Wow, I understand what you're trying to say but I can't just abandon them. I treasure every single one of you, especially you Alice." Akira says gently as he approaches her and holds her hand.

"Wh-Wh—... Is Mast— I mean are you serious darling~!" She exclaimed in surprise. Akira grabs the finger on which she had the alliance, "Is this not enough proof for you dear?" He asks.

A grin appears on Alice's face, if it weren't for Akira's presence she would start jumping around like a mad girl from all the happiness.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I got a world to save. I don't wanna see my relations die in this world, recreating them is possible but it feels inhuman, not even I have the heart to support all that— O-Oh I'm starting to talk too much. Ahem, ahem.. See you later love"

Akira disappeared from Alice's sight, but even so she could always feel his warm presence close to her, "Take care love I'll think of you every second! No even more than seconds, I'll think of you with every breath and thought I make!" She says with slightly blushing cheeks and a sort of twisted smile of happiness.

"It's working!!" Nyx shouted happily, this new hope glowing brightly in her eyes.. Literally, since the Tornado of Stratos inside the seal absorbs anything like a real black hole, Pyros the Volcano melting into a lava and getting absorbed the extreme winds.

"Freeeeze..!!!" Hydros groaned in anger, the flaming tornado made his freezing cold skin melt and get absorbed, followed by the mountain titan who succombed to the heavy winds after decomposing into large chunks of mountain rocks, boulders and dirt.

"Ending the titans won't be enough Nyx! I have already expended my domain throughout all of Earth!" Hades yelled out maniacally.

His destruction had spread throughout the entire world. Millions of souls being collected by the second, creating a large connected string between the uncountable orbs of life roaming the entire earth. His domain expended throughout the entire world, granting him Nigh-Omnipresence and Omniscience.

Nyx appeared just in front of Hades. The two were going to have the last clash. Ais Wallenstein watched as her savior and her enemy were about to engage the ultimate fight, "Please win for us..." She said subconsciously, praying for her impossible victory.

Nyx grit her teeth in anger and frustration. Using her own dark emotions and negativity she was able to materialize those powers inside her very being. A purplish blue aura surrounded the edge of her body.

"Kehehe.. Do your worst..." The monsterous god said. Using the millions of souls he collected, he was able to envelop himself in a red transparent aura ressembling a bubble.

Then suddenly, the two flew at such high speed their presence became invisible apart from two sphere of different colors rushing towards each other insanely fast. Closing the distance in less than a second as the purple girl charged a fist so powerful it was able to break entire worlds. It shows just who high of a caliber this fight truly was.

With less than a meter separing the two, tgeyr glanced at each other's faces before delivering a ridiculously powerful blow. The shockwaves blew incredibly fast as Nyx swinged her fist horizontally and punched Hades on the torso.

*BOOOOOOM* Smoke exploded in the surroundings covering the environment for an entire minute.

.....The following explosion was almost completely restrained, Nyx didn't let go of all her accumulated negative energy, her punch was literally glued to the transparent bubble surrounding Hades and struck to it. She hardened her grip and forced her fist harder into Hades but the bubble suddenly wobbled, reformed and knocked her away in the air.

Hades appeared in front of Nyx and delivered her a fatal punch on the stomach, throwing her with such power her body crushed on the earth and obliterated the last remaining ground she was standing on.

"KUGUAAAH—!!" Nyx vomited a mouthful of blood as well as feeling a never seeing before pain. This was the first time she'd feel this much pain. The last time she was this stimulated by pain was probably back in the days during her training to earn a position in the council of Greater Gods. A pain and effort she didn't forget even after so many centuries have passed.

Being banished led her to dominating the Greeks and making them do all the work for her while she just lamented and searched for a way to reclaim her Titans and ascend to Greater God once again. Something she was never able to do without her Titans, making it impossible for her to achieve this ambition making it a depraved dream and an unsuccessful attempt at ascension.

Hades appeared just above the ground on which Nyx was resting on. He slammed his leg on the ground which made her body bounce a few meters up in the air, just enough for him to deliver once again a kick so powerful she was sent flying to a nearby mountain, passing through it before crashing once again on another hill.

"You're clearly at your limit Primordial Goddess of Night, Nyx. With the power of all these souls, I am nearly invincible! It would have being much problematic if you still had the status of Greater God. Those are divinities capable of manipulating souls to their will. But fortunately, THEY'RE ALL DEAD!!" Hades shouted with a bloody grin.

Nyx desperately tried getting up but even with her best efforts all she could do was just leaning her back off the ground by a few centimeters. A scorching flare appeared on the twisted god's hand, "Any last word goddess?!" He asked, self confident of his own victory.

"I—I won't be defeated so easily Hades! You'll regret this... There's something.... far faaaar more powerful than any of us in this existence.... and you're threatening to end a world which it cares for..... you won't be spared.... no one will be spared from its wrath...." Nyx said, feeling as if the end was getting closer, she told him the truth.

"...." The flare disappeared from Hades's hand. Then, he caught her forehead and cast a malefice that appeared on her skin in the form of a black mark. A curse that slowly ate the goddess and killed her.

"You talk way too much, but this should be enough to calm you down hahAHAHA!!" He laughed.

The curse slowly spread across Nyx's body rendering her more fatigued and draining away the last of her power.

Now, in the end of the match, the one serving as spectator found no choice but to come forward and end this madness before it really destroys this world, something which we all don't want to happen, not after all those amazing adventures we've had here before!

Here it comes. The calamity slowly approached the scene while holding a sea of unlimited dread directed towards Hades.

"Nyx, you may be a powerful goddess but you failed miserably in protecting this world from the threat of Hades. You even destroyed your own titans in that seal!" Akira spoke.

Hades took a step back after seeing Akira teleport so suddenly in front of the two gods who were about to settle their beef. "Who are you?!.. But most importantly, why couldn't my sensors detect your presence?? That is impossible..!!" Hades exclaimed furiously.

"It—It's like you're invisible!! Wh—Who are you?!" Hades asked, shocked.

Akira slightly turned his head and looked at Hades straight in the eyes. "Invisible? Haha~, I prefer the word Invincible if you may." Akira said.

"N-No matter how powerful you are, I'm ending this now!—" Hades yelled, determined on finishing his master plan. But right before speaking the last sentence, Akira punched through his shield bubble and brutally grabbed his face.

"....!!! F-F-Geft oFf m-Mei..!!" Hades yelled undistinguishable words as his mouth, no, his entire face was grasped by Akira's hand. One single movement was enough to crush him and cause his demise.

The magical energy suddenly stopped coursing throughout Hades's body. Not only did Reality start stabilizing once again, but the curse placed on Nyx started dissipating as well.

"It—It's..!! I'm feeling better!" Nyx said in surprise, as if the all the restraints put on her body disappeared all at once. The mark on her forehead was erased and she once again regained her powers. She summoned her dark wings then flew to the sky where Akira was having his argument with Hades.

"A-Akira! Y-You're going to kill Hades!" She yelled.

Raising a brow, Akira asked her, "Isn't that the whole objective of this goddamn mess?" He asked.

"Y-Yes but It's me who wanted to deliver the fatal blow, I'm capable of ending this on my own!" She said, desperate to finish this after coming so far.

"Trust me, that curse would have killed you in less than a minute if I didn't intervene. Consider yourself lucky, you gave a good battle but it wasn't enough" He said.

This kinda broke Nyx, after suffering for so long against a completely unbalanced and ridiculously powerful uncanon entity as well as her own creations, she couldn't help feeling unachieved after seeing such humiliating defeat.

Akira had noticed the frown in her mood, he was about to crush Hades's skull to a trillion pieces but he figured out a better idea. One in which Nyx would assist him in the killing of Hades but one that might also prove to be very painful.

An idea is what struck him. Perhaps she failed but this was the first time she was having a real battle against someone stronger than her, why not give her the true taste of duelty?
