Chapter 47: Reign of Terror

PART 1

Sun Wukong, the monkey king himself had met with a terrible end. His body was incinerated as well as his entire Origin, completely dead and gone from this world, unable to return from the Arc Adabohlic Saltor making sure his death was absolute.

Nothing else was left of him. The only sound heard was the crackling and whirring of Arc Adabohlic Saltor in the air above them, roaring with energy of the entire world.

"It was something he didn't expect, so I took advantage of it."

Akira had placed his weapon on his shoulder and tugged down the collar covering his face.

"I'm sure it's safe to assume he's dead by now. The more important focus is to find Katie, where is she Haruo?"

Toshiro and Akira faced Haruo, raising their brows.

"I-I actually have no clue, I don't even know where Galatea is at. I'm confused as ever."

He scratched underneath his chin before Toshiro sighed.

"...Sigh... well we can find her later by utilizing the Arc Adabohlic Saltor, I'm sure of it."

Haruo would glance over at Akira.

"Actually, I have an more important question. Why the hell didn't you just whip it out from the get-go, rather watching our asses get manhandled?"

Akira turned to the side and ignored the question, hovering towards Toshiro.

"Anyways besides that, let's get out of here before the Celestials come out of their hiding hole and start attacking—"

"Hey don't ignore me you bastard! Akira I know you hear me!"

Akira ignored Haruo again.

"So what's the plan now? And where's Seth?"

Toshiro looked over at Haruo who risen his fist and was yelling frantically at Akira.

"Seth is at the mountain, he didn't come with us. Providence wanted to stay back and rather not see the Celestial Sea again, or something like that."

Toshiro crossed his arms.

"Mannn, that guy sure is obsessed with some five inch fairy, he really is a loner."

Toshiro would have his weapon vanish from his hand, as did the other two once Arc Adabohlic Saltor slowly faded out of existence.

"Damn asshole! I'll kick your ass, keep on playing me like I'm some joke!"

Haruo walked up to Akira and grabbed his shirt, tugging on it.

"One more time, and I swear I'll knock the hair off you until you look like a cancer patient!"

Toshiro looked at the two and placed his hands on their arms, pulling them apart.

"Woah! Woah! Enough with those threats Haruo. Listen, I'm sure Akira had a reason for it."

Haruo stared at Toshiro with a menacing glare.

"What? Taking his side? This bastard watched us get cooked—"

"But in the end, it worked didn't it?"

Akira cut off Haruo and glared at him.

"In the end it worked, and now Sun Wukong is out of our hair."

Haruo would frown, looking to the side.

"Yeah, you do have a point... but the way- ah forget it, I'm wasting my time arguing."

He puffed out his chest, sighing in annoyance.

"I guess the best thing we can do now is just leave, and return to Seth, I'm sure Galatea sent Katie somewhere safe..."

*Rumble, Rumble* the air suddenly gotten stiff, even the raging thunderstorms in the Celestial Sea would stop its thunderous booms.

"What's happening...? Zeus?"

Toshiro looked up above his head, seeing the endless Celestial Realms that carried on upwards infinitely.

PART 2

"I don't think this is Zeus..."

Haruo muttered underneath his voice and noticed this felt entirely different...—

"You two, watch out!"

Akira reached forward and would grab both Toshiro and Haruo's collar, tugging them back till they managed to just miss in time—

"Guh... Akira what's with the—"

Haruo stopped mid-sentence and noticed something familiar, as did Toshiro...

"No... way... you are kidding me...?"

Haruo's voice was lightly toned, Toshiro too shocked to even speak.

"But we... we killed you..."

They managed to evade Ruyi Jingu Bang, however this time the massive staff was the size of an actual star. If you would compare a Celestial realm to them right now, it would be the size of an house perhaps, but Ruyi Jingu bang compared to the Celestial realms were the size of an actual star, completely towering over the entire Celestial Sea, stretching downwards endlessly, until—

"We have to go! We have to go now!!!"

Akira would turn to his side and stretched his hand forward to create a portal... but that failed...

"Akira, look up!"

Toshiro shouted these words to see two more massive pillars stretching downwards at them all.

"He created two more clones to do the same—"

The Three of them would extend their hand upwards and slammed it upon the stretching Ruyi Jingu Bang which pushed them down.

"Ughh... aaaghhhhhh!!!"

Toshiro yelled, feeling his entire arms wiggle.

"It's still pushing us down... I-I can't hold on... much... longer—"

Akira felt the same way, his arms wobbled like flimsy sticks but they were slowly managing to slow down Ruyi Jingu Bang's extension on carrying forth.

"Damnit... Damnit!!!"

Haruo was bleeding from his mouth from biting his lip hard enough. The three of them slowed down its stretching, but—

"Ruyi Jingu Bang, increase!"

Sun Wukong was heard up above them, increasing the staffs size once again.

"What..?! Guaaaahhhhh!!!"

The three of them screamed, before they all face planted into the staff once their arms given out, sending the three of them skyrocketing down the endless Celestial Sea along with the staff.

"Increase, Ruyi Jingu Bang."

The staff would increase in size once again.

"Increase, Ruyi Jingu Bang."

And again...

"Increase, Ruyi Jingu Bang!!!"

And once again. The entire staff was now the size of the literal Celestial World itself, killing every single god in its hierarchy and destroying every realm to exist there.

The Celestial World was no more, it had exploded entirely, and now inside of Beloveno, the planet-Structure known as the Celestial Realm were no more.

Everything inside of it was gone.

PART 3

The echo of death and destruction, screams and terror. Just where were they? Were they dead? Were the Three Primordial Evil Stars gone?

As of now they were floating in Wheel-Space; Wheel-Space was the very Space of where the Realms of Beloveno resided. One Primordial Evil Star would open his eyes and blink a few times, he noticed around him were spherical-structures shaped like planets stretching on across this space.

One Spherical-structure was Ohithius, another the Mortal World, another was the Realm of the Gods, as many other were other realms that existed inside of Wheel-Space.

"Where... are we...?"

Toshiro was the one to awaken. He was floating on top of a large floating debris that came from a Celestial Realm which had exploded, miraculously sending the planet debris and other ruins outwards from its realm.

"Akira... Haruo... where are you?"

He wasn't regenerating, he was conceptually hurt. His origin wasn't even healing, so could that mean the explosion killed both Haruo... and Akira?

"A-Akira... Haruo... please respond!"

He slowly risen up and was on his knees now, one hand resting against the floating debris he was on, as the other held onto his bleeding arm, unable to regenerate.

"No... please... Akira, Haruo!—"

Toshiro quickly glanced to the side to hear screams in the distance and sounds of chanting.

"K-Kaichi — The everlasting courage!"

One Celestial activated their Kaichi as they battled someone, Toshiro could see it from a large distance away... it was Sun Wukong...?

"Hooaaaa!!!"

The Monkey King would strike his staff into the same Celestial, blasting straight through their body, and killing them off entirely.

"Worry not, all of you who has died will be reborn inside the Ultimate World, this is only temporary until I can persuade the Higher Gods to have you all let me be, and stop trying to seal me!"

Sun Wukong sighed to himself as he stood afloat on the debris of a planet which existed in one of the Celestial Realms; each and Celestial Realm functioned like that of a Mortal universe, it's own planets, galaxies and stars, it was only logical for them to be spreading about after the destruction of the Celestial World.

Toshiro now returning to his feet would walk upon the debris and jump from rock to rock until he could find his two friends.

"So many are dead... everyone... is gone...?"

He looked hopeless, this entire situation was just... hopeless...

"Haruo! Akira!!!"

Celestial's floated in the Wheel-Space dead and gone...

"Answer me! You two!"

Toshiro looked down, feeling his hope slowly sap away...

"We can't... we can't win this... I-I can't win this without you..."

Tears formed in his eyes, his hand still holding his bleeding arm.

"Please... someone... stop this from happening..."

He slammed his forehead into the floating rock.

"Stop this! Stop this! Someone stop this from happening! Not again... not a hopeless situation yet again!"

Toshiro's eyes were littered with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"In our world we were in a war with Zeus and the Higher Gods, and we created many abilities, techniques... trained our asses off for the desperate war! We even fought the Valkyries!"

He rolled to his side, his body felt like it would go limp and just die any second...

"We done so much together... we always were together on this, as brothers... so please... please don't be dead..."

He closed his eyes, the gravity of Wheel-Space only kept them afloat.

"If you both are gone, I have nothing left to save me... Makoto is even missing as the others are too. What is there left for me??!"

Toshiro's eyes were littered with tears, unable to see anything anymore, however he noticed the sight of a boot, standing in front of him—

"...?"

He blinked a few times to have the rest of the formed tears to pour down, now looking up... face to face with Seth Genesis.

"Seth...? How did you manage to get here...?"

Toshiro wiped the tears from his eyes and looked away, embarrassed to be crying in front of another.

"It's dangerous, you came here knowing you could die from Sun Wukong? He's out of your league of power... he's even defeated Katie and Makoto..."

Seth was quiet, quieter than ever, taking in this information.

"I see."

He looked ahead to see Sun Wukong facing off against many other Celestials who tried getting petty revenge.

"Toshiro, you all did well. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for being weak. Heh... I don't even have the full mastery of my Benoyin, and I can't even match up with your guys speed. Man, I'm just weak as hell."

He looked down to smile at Toshiro.

"But that doesn't stop me from trying. I'm gonna use everything I have in my power, in order to fulfill my goal."

Toshiro would blink a few times, a blush spread across his face... a mild one at least.

"Even in these desperate times... you remain dumb and clueless... despite the situation you are in, you still want to fight...?"

He had looked down with a smile, his body unable to heal.

"H-Heheheh... that's all I really needed. I just needed a good and positive attitude to cheer me up a little."

Toshiro would slowly start to lose his consciousness.

"I'm sorry... that I can't help you... Seth—"

His body went limp, everything turned to black before he fell to his side, unconscious, but—

"Don't apologize."

Seth managed to catch Toshiro, holding him within his arms as he gently sat him down.

"I still have a goal I must complete, I'm not gonna die just yet."
