174.) Luminaria's Mark on History.

"H-Her power is beyond belief. Wh-What type of monster is the War Goddess!?" 

Demiganesh steps back a little more as a projection of Dannadise's true size as a Titan was revealed. It appeared behind her with the silhouette and malicious levels of a demon. It's size was even greater than the Colossaverse itself and donned itself on everyone within the battlegrounds that is the Combat Verse. 

"Hey dad… is that?" Shiitania says as she stops her flight to view the massive being looking into their verse. Her mother, father, younger sisters, and brothers stopped right along with her. 

Death: "Heh, quite the spectacular goddess that Dannadise has become. Don't you agree, MorZick, Zenki, Kagura… Kaguya?" 

MorZick: "Heh, I do agree dad."

Hakeem: "Indeed she is, that's Dannadise for ya." 

All over the Colossaverse, every clan and its residents could see it as clear as day. But the one who could see it the most was none other than Demiganesh. He charged his sword in response to it. Running at Dannadise at high speeds, speeds high enough to make the entire battlefield look as though it was stopped in time. Dannadise merely stared at him, parrying his blade as he swung it. She hadn't even moved just yet, showing how much of her speed she had been holding back. He repeatedly leapt in with his speed increasing with each dash. From the point of view of those below them, it looked as though Dannadise was being swarmed by a powerful force. Nothing but collisions and sparks flying about as she stands in her unmoving state. 

Brittany: "Hmph, you othah four get ready to go. I can sense five othahs steadily heading towards those two." 

Everyone: "Right, let's go!" 

Brittany: "To believe that Lady Dannadise is this monstrous!" 

Brittany and the others head towards the location of Dannadise. They watched as she masterfully made Demiganesh look slow even whilst increasing his speed. Made them all wonder where this was all coming from. After all, she was still merely in her base form. The form she had before this was actually her sealed form where signs of her driven state are absent. Even Demiganesh himself was stuck trying to solve this mystery. It was a sudden shift that made almost no sense. How could her stature and speed increase so greatly without transforming. Even if she unsealed her remaining power, the boost should not be this great everyone was thinking as they bear witness to this phenomena. 

Suddenly, out of nowhere from depths of the very void itself came a flash. It engulfed the entire Colossaverse, cancelling Demiganesh's onslaught and Dannadise's colossaversal sized silhouette. From within that rapid flash came a clash between two monsters. One where Demiganesh now finds himself being pushed back and on the defensive. Dannadise was like a wild animal, she thrusted with both of rapiers in menacing combinations. These combinations were random and at will, forcing Demiganesh to use his conquered concepts to counter and save from being damaged. 

Dannadise: "Hrngh!! To think me swordplay style, speed and War concept would be enough to force ya to use almost ten concepts in quick succession. You'd better stay on your A- game, bruv!!" 

Demiganesh: "Tch! (I won't allow this brat to force me to transform!)" 

Demiganesh began sliding back further to gain space, and Dannadise allowed him to. She slowly turned her rapid thrusts into a twirling dance that utilizes the tips of her rapiers as capable slashing weapons. That's why the two edges were lined with a thin, sharp blade. She danced and danced, repelling all of Demiganesh's counter strikes as he now struggles to keep his distance. All of her slashes were like afterimages that carried real mass and weight. It made it as though every one strike she would fire, fifty more would follow. It was a very difficult combination of technique and swordplay to go against. So Demiganesh used his speed concept to flash forward and blow open a hole in her formation. Her arms opened up for a split decisecond, giving Demiganesh the time to flash backwards. He now gained a few miles of space, but when he looked up… he could see her above his head with both rapiers pulled back and ready. 

Demiganesh: "Damn this goddess!" 

Dannadise smiled sinisterly as she released a barrage of thrusting attacks on Demiganesh as she descended. He allowed his body to flicker and dance about as he dodged her attacks. Her true body appears with her rapier piercing the very cosmos as her attack misses by a hair. Demiganesh slid back successfully and prepared a heavy counterattack. 

"Now is the tim- HUH!?" Demiganesh looked onward with a flabbergasted expression on his face. 

He stared at a blast sitting at the tip of her other rapier. It would seem she predicted that he'd dodge in such a fashion and had this ready as a backup plan. She shot it without hesitation and left Demiganesh with no space to think or plan. He instantly dodged the attack with a simple bob to the right. But to his surprise, Dannadise was no longer in front of him. She had now appeared behind him, his face wore a look of absolute shock. She literally used her blast as a substitute for her own body and traveled with it. Reforming behind him before his head could completely lean out of the way. Her left rapier was at the ready, aimed and set to pierce his head entirely.

Demiganesh: "Oh no you don't!!" *BLINK* 

He spun around with his blade leading the charge. 

*TIINNNNG* 

Dannadise used her right rapier to repel his blade. Her blade was now coming for his head, but he ducked just in time, right below the strike. He swung his blade back inward with his left hand. Dannadise lowered her center of gravity to match his. She used her right hand to mirror his movement, repelling his blade as he repelled hers. Both were blown off balance by the collision, this made Demiganesh a little less tense. He believed it to be his moment finally, but he was wrong. Dannadise vanished and reappeared in front of him within an instant. Her right rapier was left flowing back, whilst her left one was on its way towards Demiganesh's head once more. He attempted to make use of his concepts again, but even that would come to fail within this moment. 

"Domain(Presence Class) Zenchi!" Dannadise thought to herself as her eyes opened widely. A widespread domain surrounded them, one where she used her Future Sight and Mental Zenchi to see what concepts he'd use to make her fail again. This domain was then prepared to counter each and every single one, by canceling them entirely. 

Demiganesh was now left defenseless, so he now relied on his Mental Zenchi to counter her attack. He could see the paths of her many thrusts that would be used to force him where she'd want him. But as he dodged, he noticed that each one that he avoided was nothing more than an afterimage. He could now see that she manipulated fate to place him where she needed him. He fought against her superior fate manipulation and ran into her attack instead of avoiding it. He wrapped massive layers of concentrated Zenchi around his left arm and hand. Using it as a shield to block her attack!

*SHIINNNG* 

Demiganesh: "Heh, looks like I managed to block it, though it still pierced my damn hand- what?!" 

Dannadise: "Only a fool would think my attack of all things would end there! *BWMMMM* Checkmate, you wankah!" 

She charged a beam at the tip of her left rapier that now pierced his left hand. It was perfectly placed at his face and unfortunately for him, Dannadise used her Paralysis concept to hold him in place for a few seconds before he could even think to move. It was truly a checkmate situation. 

Demiganesh: "Damn, this is what you were after all along, eh?" 

He watched as the beam shrunk and condensed itself from an unstable blob. To a perfect sphere that now had static and unstable essence dancing on its surface. 

He watched as the attack was now being fired with zero hesitation. It was curtains for him, but to his luck her domain was broken into in five different places. Within that next instant, a hand with powerful Zenchi wrapped around it now grabbed a hold of the attack. Squeezing it until it was blown into oblivion. 

Dannadise: "A feline god from the second Colossaverse? I wouldn't never guess- *BLINK* guessed. Ah, yes… another subordinate I suppose? Well, you'll have to try hardah than that!" 

She stared at the five people who now surround Demiganesh as he goes about healing his hand after her strike broke through. 

Demiganesh: "Hmph, now I see." 

Dannadise: "Oh, so you can finally see it, eh?

That's good, Demi!" 

Demiganesh: "Tch, let's end this brat- eh… hmm. It would only make sense for her to have backup as well!" 

Demiganesh and his team watched as Brittany, Xixin, Jameson, Aurorelle, and Dannadise's younger brother, Franklin came to her side. The two teams were now complete and the climax of this elongated war had finally donned itself. Demiganesh and his five leaders that reigned from five different, foreign Colossaverses. Dannadise noticed this and merely smiled at Demiganesh before deciding to speak. 

Dannadise: "Allow me to say this before we annihilate your pissants. Ye who faceth Luminarian might and strength shall findeth thineself within the jaws of its malicious presence." 

Demiganesh: "Hmm…" 

Dannadise: "You see, all it takes is me extinguishing Demiganesh then… the rest of you will be picked off. Being pummeled like dog toys as you all fall! Though, there is a more heinous option. Hmm.." 

Demiganesh: "And what option would that be!?" 

Dannadise: "Ah, yes… yes. I'll just go with that option instead. Now let's get this ovah with…" 

*SHIIING* 

She slashed at them before they could react. 

Demiganesh could see the attack, having adjusted to her speed finally. Uttering the words…

"Not this time, BRAT!!" 

He swung his arm outward whilst changing his arm into a blade at the same time. It slashed through the attack as it approached them. He gave them an order to scatter into the void, watching as Dannadise did the same thing with a head nod. Everyone pounced and danced about within the wide, open cosmos. Clashing as they try to kill one another with the most lethal attacks they could manage. As the two groups try to conquer the other, their two leaders would go on to continue their quest of trying to triumph over the other. Dannadise allowed her golden hair to exit its bun style. Dropping down her back all the way to her lower thigh. It then ran wild as her crown increased in size. Demiganesh could see that she was no longer holding back even though she indeed was. She merely allowed her power to reach a level that matches his completely. 

Demiganesh: "Finally getting serious, are we? Yeeeess, haHAHAAAA~gahaaa!!! Bone Parade!" 

He shot a countless amount of bones from his body whilst absorbing the very void to transfer it into essence itself. Many bones that were transformed into swords of varying styles, including Twinblades, daggers, skull and ribcage hammers, as well as a few scythes. His body was capable of instantly replacing the bones he shoots out. So he always has an endless arsenal, and right now… that arsenal dug itself into the very void itself as it surrounded Dannadise. The other tiny bones that floated above her followed the flow of his hands and smashed into her when his arms crossed. 

*blink* *BLINK* 

Dannadise dodged each and every strike as she flashed forward. Dashing towards Demiganesh who had just taken a page from her playbook. He sealed his own origin Concept essence within each bone so that he may appear wherever one may be. The first weapon he grabbed were a pair of long daggers that were behind Dannadise. His blades come down with a heavy strike, only to be reflected by Dannadise's slash. He looked down and noticed she still remained standing there with her back towards him. But her right hand now gripped the scabbard of her left rapier. She stood there like a lone samurai ready to slay their next enemy. 

Demiganesh: "Her speed is incredible at this level of strength. She even has Destruction and highly potent Plasma on her blades. Every single weapon will be destroyed when they clash. Let's dance then!" 

Demiganesh turns into a blinding, speeding light that is transferred to each and every weapon whilst blasting Dannadise with concepts and bones. She put up a shield of literal slashes that formed a dome around her body. It deflected all of his attacks including the various weapons he had wrapped in his powerful Zenchi. They danced in a straight line, racing towards the edge of the Combat Verse. Demiganesh wrapped his domain around them so that his arsenal of bone bladed weapons traveled along with them. He danced around her ferociously for many moments, creating more weapons to use against Dannadise. Each one being broken and shattered into dust. Eventually, Dannadise joined his dance and parried every attack with peak accuracy. They sway to the right, clashing ten times as they reach their platform. Dannadise slides back outside whilst Demiganesh stopped himself. She thrusts her blade into the platform and takes control of eight weapons sitting beside her. 

Dannadise: "Heheheee! Let's see how this goes!" 

She fires the weapons at Demiganesh at full speed. 

He counters them with accurate swings from his blade. He then began to teleport to each remaining bone weapon and used those to counter the ones she stole. When he reached the final stolen weapon, he found that it was Dannadise, herself, using it rather than throwing it. Their two blades cross and both disintegrated as they slide past the other. Both leap back in with Dannadise now twirling about as she counters the literal beam of light that was swarming her right then. She dodged and blocked all before her with ease as they were now near the edge of the Combat Verse by a few universe's length. Upon crossing paths a few more times, Dannadise uses her right rapier to counter his final weapon before making more. Just as they shoot out, she bursts forward. Using her superior speed to strike him with miniature blasts several times before knocking him away. He was only able to block the most lethal attacks, he also wasn't able to stop himself from being blown away by the force of her attacks. 

Dannadise: "Nice, now then!" *FWIP* 

Demiganesh landed on his feet and began sliding back a few more miles. He looked up to see Dannadise using a wave to shatter all of his new bone weapons. She then turned the pieces into shining stars with her Matter, Gas, Fire, and Light Manipulation. She made them unstable and easy to set off. She fires a storm of them from all angles to try and force him to dodge. But he opened up five gates around himself and sucked every attack in. Using it as fuel to fire a blast at her with his mouth. She leapt forward in excitement and used her rapier to absorb the attack. She then transferred its essence to the other blade and fired it at Demiganesh. 

Demiganesh: "Tch, so she can absorb and assimilate too?!" *SHIIINNG* 

He used his rune blade to cut the blast in half, destroying it as it passes by his person. He then took a few steps forward and smashed upward, cutting space and the like as he tried to sever her diagonally. She dodged the slash and allowed it to rip open the Colossaverse at its edge. She used that as a way to get out easily without having to jump through naturally. 

"Tuh, you won't escape me, War Goddess!!" Demiganesh states while giving chase. 

He leapt through the hole to find Dannadise sitting with her rapiers to the side. Her power has began to rise once more. 

Demiganesh: "Daaaammiiiit!!! Enough of these games, child. I must dispose of you, here! GRAAAAUUUGH!!!! HYPE FORM!!" 

His body bursts with essence as the very void itself grew in activity. Its very nature began to shape itself around him for as far as a small Colossaverse could grow. His clothes became a cloak made of his Origin Concept. It turned black with a jumble of spices and ingredients taking shape within the confines of his clothing. Each being absorbed and siphoned by endless amounts of holes that acted as his stomachs. His hair flowed upwards and hardened into bones whilst his hands were covered in layered gloves made of dense bone. A true hype form at its most potent. 

Dannadise: "Guess that's enough for me to at least test this out. Let's wrap my Hype around my arms and legs only. *FWUEER* Ha, perfect!" 

She covered her arms, hands, legs, and feet with her Hype form itself. Using her limbs to counter any attack Hyper Demiganesh could use. 

On the other side of things, Brittany and the others were busy pushing back Demiganesh's subordinates. Brittany herself now took on a goddess who reigns straight from the third Colossaverse. She was a true Fairy goddess with gigantic butterfly wings that were twice as big as she was. They raced across the third quadrant of the Colossaverse. Clashing and ripping parts of the void to shreds with their opposing essence signatures. Brittany made short work of any technique the Fairy could throw using her Glacial abilities. Her Winter Birthright made it difficult to move freely when in Brittany's vicinity. The goddess was forced to sit there and take the brunt of this as her wings were now as stiff as wooden boards being used for construction. She clipped them then regenerated them almost instantly after. She then flew at Brittany with full speed, using her venom as an essence blast and purposely bursting it completely. She made sure to create a cloud that would surround Brittany in the hopes of damaging her with her highly toxic, and corrosive venom. 

Brittany: "This won't be nearly enough. Our poison and status specialist is bettah than you at this, love. Do bettah, please." *FLASH*

Brittany appeared behind the fairy and began knocking her around. A subordinate of hers came to her rescue after escaping from Franklin. She struck Brittany in the back just after she knocked the fairy away once more. Her appearance made it clear that she was from the Monster Verse. She was a female Vampire with incredible physical strength. The force of her strike completely took Brittany by surprise. Sending her flying into the nearest star system. Franklin, Jameson, and Jameson's opponent from the Insect Verse, all flanked the Vampire. All four go into a frenzy of clashing before the Vampire is sent flying. Then goes Jameson from a surprise high kick to the chin. Franklin and the Horned Beetle God Duke it out. Franklin uses his control of light to blind him after dodging several right kicks and a surprise tackle Franklin snuffed away by grabbing the horn and forcing it down. Once the enemy was blinded, Franklin attempted to kick them in the head, but was stopped by a sudden blast to his back. Aurorelle then flew in to fight both enemies in her lonesome. She used a wave of force from her body that threw them both off. The first was kicked into a star then blown up. Leaving her to take on her opponent without distraction. 

Above them could be seen Xixin and the Feline God from the second Colossaverse. He was a master of Zenchi at the same level as Xixin. A phenomenal monster born with extraordinary essence and talent. His Origin Concept was based around Function and it allowed him to control all things under its 'Sun'. Whenever Xixin would attack with something lethal after a ridiculous clashing of Odd Zenchi. Xixin took notice to his ability and decided to use his martial prowess to gain an upper hand. He focused all of his essence and Zenchi onto the Mental class. Focusing all of it on Time and Future Sight specifically. He could now easily predict every move that his enemy would make. Their battle quickly turned into a one sided beatdown where Xixin controlled the flow of the battle. He made sure to force his opponent into close quarters and chased them down Everytime they even tried to gain some distance. Though one should note that this beatdown may be one sided, but Xixin was taking a helping of damage to make it possible. 

On the other end of things sat Dannadise and Demiganesh. He was on the losing end of his fight with Dannadise. She countered every move he would make, punching on him afterwards with a sickening combination. His healing within his Hype form was reduced to basic mortal levels whilst his form itself was being eaten away at. She stood over him with a smile as she held a blast within her hand that would end his very existence. It was called her Existence Erasure. It was capable of destroying whatever it touched including a being and their tethering to ANY concept they may have mastered. Demiganesh could do nothing in the face of her might. A monster amongst monsters, a goddess amongst gods one should say. 

Dannadise: "Now let me show you something worse than DEATH!!! GahaaaaHAHHAHAAHAAA!!!" 

She increased its size by ten fold and leaned over Demiganesh even more. Raising her right arm high in preparation for the attack. She lowered her hand and slammed it onto the top of his head. She then slammed that into her reinforced platform. Blood ran from his face and spread across her platform a few feet ahead of him/behind her. She leaned down to then whisper in his ear…

"Just sit here and watch." 

He looked over to notice that the blast had split into several- NO, countless, yes… countless individual shots. Each one struck as they nearly severed the many targets' connection to their concepts. Even the five leaders fell victim to this. Falling to their knees as they look towards their enemies. Glaring as they stood over them, looking down on them as if they were mere bugs. Even Dannadise could now be seen doing the same thing. She looked down at Demiganesh with contempt, one could easily tell she wished to kill him. 

Dannadise: "So let me ask you Demi…" 

Demiganesh: "N-N… N-Nrrrrgh!!" 

Dannadise: "Should I sever all of your ties to you concepts along with your crew?" 

Demiganesh: "T-T-T-Tc-Tch!! (Damn her, I can't let that happen!)" 

Dannadise: "Or will you all surrendah to us and relinquish your clan. Either way… Luminaria… .

Will make history today, you scum."
