21.) Annihilo-Sect and Their Path to Power? Pt I.

"S-So, th-this is...

The actual prowess of...

Our three current masters!?"

Melumini'itii within the Colosseum with Z'lusha, Ri-ohhanna who stands within our arena, facing my daddy, and Kolipso within master Rosareideem's colosseum. They all froze in the face of these unrivaled, overly powerful, and sofficating essence signatures sitting in front of us all. Each master sent a single message to our minds. They told us to steel ourselves and prove we deserve to be the representatives that keep this verse safe. It told us to ignore our fears and fight our hesitation, become the warriors we're meant to be and treat them like the enemies they have just become. It's killed or be killed, and to be killed without putting up a fight is just...

"Not something we're going to FUCKING let happen!! Let's face my dad with all we've got. Call forth your prowess and prepare for war against ZeeNihilo Zeefist!!" I shouted as I took towards the front. Rallying my seven comrades in preparation for our war against the Annihilation Fiend, ZeeNihilo. Daddy had success turned his personality into that of his warrior self from trillions of year ago. The same fiendish goofball who beat the snot out of that three head dragon way back when. Second chapter information by the way. Yeah, we breaking the fourth wall around this bitch.

But anyways, I commanded YeeNessa to follow my lead, summoning the prowess of our big sisters and mixing it with our own. Everyone else summoned their full might and even wrapped themselves in their home and origin concepts. This is a form we like to call, Clan Form. A form that allows you to completely encompass the very concept your home clan holds near and dear. Like Ri-ohhanna becoming a blackened mass of Impairment itself. The others became colored beacons of light as well whilst YeeNessa and I became white beings. We suddenly had crowns and couldn't truly recognize one another outside of our essence signatures within. Even my daddy was appalled by what he now sees. For it wouldn't be his first time seeing it, but for some odd reason. He kept his mouth shut and smiled maliciously as he walked towards us.

The other Colosseums were pretty much the same. Everyone rallied together and showed off their max power as they face down the most powerful opponents we've ever faced in our small, feeble, and very extinguishable lives. But out of twenty-two members... Not one fucking Deity was ready to cave in! YeeNessa and I led our charge, walking towards ZeeNihilo as he also walked towards us. Both parties slowly increased their speed until we were in full sprints. He smashed into both of us and nearly smashed through our guards, chasing down the others in our fighting party.

"Annihilative Haymaker." ZeeNihilo stated.

He swung his arm and annihilated all things that met with the wave created by his attack. Everyone prepared their own attacks and used their unique Annihilation concept types.

"Impair!"

"Disintegrate!"

"Destroy!"

"Disfigure!"

"Shatter!"

"Eradicate!"

Every single one of them were able to fend off his attack with ease. They gained space as the drew their weapons once more. ZeeNihilo charged forward once more, taking several steps as if he was going for the basic bulldozing strategy. Only to side step and vanish using his superior speed. YeeNessa and I stopped our sliding, rushing forward to chase down ZeeNihilo. He flanked Heemy's twelve and faced him down one in one. Forcing my baby into a flurry of strike exchanges. Keeping Heemy in place as we all rushed to his aid. ZeeNihilo messed with Heemy's senses by lacing his Annihilation with the concepts of Linking, Control, and Stat sharing. He annihilated Heemy's vision, taking control of what he now sees before him. And what he saw was ZeeNihilo multiplying himself, taking the exact same positions as we who came to help. Convincing Heemy's mind that he now had to knock out seven other ZeeNihilos.

"Tch, damn your tricks, ANNIHILATIONNN!!"

Heemy yelled out. He smacked each and everyone of us to the side just before instinctively hopping towards the real ZeeNihilo. ZeeNihilo dodged each and every strike as he took several steps back. YeeNessa, Ri-ohhanna and I were the first ones to get back up after being smacked by Heemy. All three of us dashed towards ZeeNihilo just as he allowed Heemy to wrap his weapon around his right arm. Heemy pulled on it, trying to keep the Annihilation Fiend in place. But he instead found himself being used as a wreaking ball, smacking into all three of us as ZeeNihilo now came towards our unbalanced selves.

"Get ready, he's coming our way!!" I shouted.

"Right, I see him, and I'll also be the one to distract him this time. Follow me when you see an opening!" Yeeyee shouted just before charging towards ZeeNihilo.

ZeeNihilo noticed her pulling out Big Yee's weapon, the mighty Halberd made by Betsy and Scarge. She erased the space between them using a powerful thrust with her halberd, then she proceeded to bring about her short sword, using her right hand. Sending a massive crescent shaped wave of Erasure Essence towards ZeeNihilo. He smiled as he looked up at this marvelous spectacle that YeeNessa calls an offensive technique. He quickly brought about Annihilation essence onto his arm and extinguished her attack. Only to find Shi'Ho-ho and I preparing some killer fucking uppercuts bruh. My right hand, and her left almost joining as one in our attempt to crush this fiend's guard and send him flying.

"This is what I expected when facing the likes of all you powerful little monsters. But it ain't enough yet!" Shi'Ho-ho and I were beginning to lose ground just from him wanting to his extend his arms back.

"It's not NEARLY ENOUGH YET!!!" ZeeNihilo shouted as a creepy smile crept on to his face.

He continued to push us back until we used a mixture of our essence types and created Destructive Eradication. A kind of essence that's capable of entrapping thise affected by it within a casing of essence that targets and destroys all within. Adding a second dose of eradicating waves to then wipe someone out of existence, but ZeeNihilo shrugged it off. Luckily, we just needed a distraction so we could push him back. Knocking him a few miles away so that we could gain the upper hand in momentum.

"HAH!" He chuckled whilst watching us dash towards him. YeeNessa wasn't far behind us, she and Snowrunt were waiting for openings whilst building their essence. Heemy and Ri-ohhanna were on their way to flank his sides whilst we hold em down.

He rushed in to meet with us head on, purposely trying to bulldoze like he did when his match between him and us began. Shi'Ho-ho and I were able to avoid direct contact and keep our wits about us. We planted our feet and dashed back towards him. He slid around and skated towards us using his essence as the actual skates. I sped up and traded punches with him, only... he blocked mine and I got hit in the forehead with a backhand. Shi'Ho-ho followed up with a overhead right meant to Eradicate ZeeNihilo's hand if possible. But he merely blocked it with his backhand, using that same left fist to clash with my punch head on.

"How infuriating." I thought to myself as I was forced to give him space.

He continued to fend off our attacks for five seconds before leaping over my double slash to the feet using Big Zee's twin blades. And kicking Shi'Ho-ho's shield so she'd lose ground all at the same time. The both of us attempted to leap back in, but he performed a perfect split and sent us in our way. Luckily, we had distracted him long enough to allow Ri-ohhanna and Heemy to perform the pincer attack. It was a single sickle of Ri-ohhanna, and the tail end of Heemy's infinity-part bow staff. But ZeeNihilo made them play into his hands using a nifty, yet annoyingly, good timed butterfly twist, pulling in both fighters at the same time. Ri-ohhanna began to twirl as she readied an attack with her remaining, free sickle. Heemy decided to just allow his momentum to be carried. Turning the butt of his staff into a shining blade made of Destruction Essence. Even then... ZeeNihilo had a counter attack ready.

"Heh, pretty damn good. But I've got ways for dealing with situations like this. Let my legs become thick blades of Annihilation." He commanded.

His legs became blades as he performed a perfect split and deflected both attacks with ease. Knocking Ri-ohhanna and Heemy away to gain space. Space used wisely as he now loosened the grip of the chain and staff parts wrapped around him. Allowing himself to leap up and out of the chains.

"Damn, we lost him as fast as we-

A swoosh of wind made Heemy shut up for a second. Watching as a soar user leapt up to face ZeeNihilo.

"NRRRRRHHH... Connect to the Concept; Shatter: Shatter the Boundaries Between Time and Space." He shouted as his body began to rotate rapidly. He shot through a wall of space and shattered it, taking control of a large area around he as ZeeNihilo. At the same time that occurs, more than five knives come flying at ZeeNihilo from all angles located behind him.

"Wow, you kids are good!" He stated as he smiled sinisterly.

On the other end of things, Z'lusha was busy being held I place by Melumini'itii. She forced him into a massive strike exchange using his essence coated arms as his way to fend off her deadly sickle techniques. It got to a point where he actually got annoyed, opening her defensive patterns until both of their arms were forced to shoot outwards. Leaving them both wide open as Z'lusha now goes about slamming his Stuliachi wrapped fists into the ground. Melumini'itii copied him and wrapped violent amounts of Zenchi around her sickles as she smashed them into the ground. Their two blasts set off simultaneously, blowing both of them away as a result. But to everyone's susorise, Melumini'itii actually chose to leap back a bit before clashing bomb slams with Master Z'lusha. Giving her more ground and space to work with, plus more control over her flight and landing. This allowed her to shoot her sickle into the aftermath of their clash and clear out the smoke. Surprisingly catching Z'lusha off guard, though his reactions are probably the best of the three Masters we have. He was actually able to deflect the attack and keeps Melumini'itii and the team from gaining any traction.

"Quite impressive, faiako (Teacher in English). Now, let's see how you handle this."

"Hmph, bring it. All of you bring your very best!! Let's see what you seven Annihilo-Sect members have to offer!!!" Z'lusha yelled out as he pumped out his chest and exposed his torso by spreading his arms out.

Melumini'itii smiled as she pulled her sickle back to her person as fast and as hard as she could muster. Charging it full of essence derived from her Origin Concept. She then released a real hardy wave of Extinction essence that formed into a widened circle that completely covered the arena. Everyone gathered behind Jah'malle and his marvelous, platinum and gold colored shield. The twelve diamonds located on the face of the shield acted as beacons for absorbing essence. Making it possible to completely diffuse her attack. And to their exact expectations, Z'lusha backhanded the wave with a powerful smack. Ghonny and Siciliarn jumped ahead of us all, rushing towards Z'lusha in the process.

"I'm gonna keep collecting essence from everyone and create a meal that can boost us. But for now, let's keep attacking and mixing things up!" Ghonny suggested, and Siciliarn was on board. As well as a nodding Theodore and Timone who now joined them in their efforts.

"Looks-uh like everyone else es is happy with your-uh plan. Magnifico!! Let's~ah go CRUSH OUR MAESTROO!!" Siciliarn shouted as she blitzed ahead of everyone.

She caught up to Timozzia and Melumini'itii as they made their way towards a stationary Z'lusha ahead of everyone else. Timozzia twirled her Dual Bladed Bow Staff whilst Siciliarn twirled her Great Spear. Both flanked his sides as Melumini'itii skated ahead and leapt above him. Z'lusha was about to make his move, but he hadn't noticed Melumini'itii's body was a distraction for an attack she released just before jumping. Z'lusha dodged the sickle, but was wrapped up by the chains following that same sickle. Holding him in place as all three Goddesses crash into him. Siciliarn and Timozzia slice him in half as they cross each other's paths. Then Melumini'itii, whilst being pelted by a pillar of blood, smashed into him from above. Turning him into a puddle of blood that splattered on everyone. Stopping Theodore, Jah'Malle, Timone, and Ghonny in their tracks.

"Oh my fuckin- BAAARGH! "Ghonny the chef... Blew chunks at the sight of this.

"AYO!? What the fuck is wrong with you but ass bitches!? Ya killed our damn sensei bruh, on the dead Deities!" Jah'malle grabbed his head in disbelief.

"BIIIITCH!? Who in the Annihilo Verse do you think you talking to!?" Timozzia asked as she threw her hands up.

"Mhm, yo uso! There is no bitches around here, boy!" Melumini'itii stated as she placed her hands on her hips and rolled her neck at Jah'malle.

"Oi mate, I could give two jolly focks about whether ya wanna be called bitches or now. You threw bucking joeys sent our damn teach into the outback. What'll we do now!?" Theodore asked as he walked towards the puddle of blood.

He examined it and made sure it wasn't real, but to his surprise... It was actually Master Z'lusha's blood. He turned around and joined the other Gods to discuss what comes next. The Goddesses didn't like being left out and started a huge argument. Everyone was yelling and throwing their weight around as if there wasn't a life lost just now.

"Aaaah, I don't wanna hear this nut ass shit from you buckeyed ass broads!! I wanted to learn from Z'lusha, a legendary combatant from this verse. It's the same as wanting a damn chopped cheese, but neva gettin' the chopped cheese because the FAT bitch in front of you ordered it all!" Jah'malle stated.

"Bruh what??" Timozzia asked

"Yo nut ass wouldn't get it-

"Yo Jah'malle, shut up for a second, uso." Melumini'itii stated.

"AYO-

"You can't talk to Jah'malle like that, you three crazy hoes are the ones who got us into this predicament in the first place!" Timone now chimes in.

"Tch, this es uh... It will get usah no where quickly my friends." Siciliarn stated.

"Man, I know right!" Z'lusha shouted as he joined the group after walking up behind them.

"Oh, heyo to you, big uso, Z'lusha." Melumi casually greets him before turning to yell at the group some more.

"Wait...

WHAAAAT!?" Everyone shouted.

Everyone was stunned and leapt back as a result. Shocked faces were the norm as they looked at a perfectly fine Z'lusha. He smiled brightly and waved hello before vanishing away. Just then, everyone felt their stomachs cave inwards as they flew back. Z'lusha struck everyone with a heavy blow to their solar plexus, dang near. Forcing them to fly for miles into the wllas of this humongous Colosseum.

"You guys fall apart as a team pretty fast. Even though you've all gotten to know each other, too... How sad." He begins to lecture them as they come flying towards him one after the other.

"You need to focus on what your neighbor can do and find the best way for your style to work in correspondence to what you've observed from them." He stops in his tracks to dodge a sickle blade to the face. He smiled at Melumini'itii as she runs towards him. Not realizing he was merely an afterimage meant to lure her in as Theodore comes flailing about with his hammer.

"Mhm, no coordination at all. Well... I guess there's some, but not a lot." He shrugs his shoulders after watching Melumi force Theodore into the floor in order to avoid a nasty collision. Melumini'itii apologizes to Theodore with a healing kiss to the forehead. Then they both look towards Z'lusha with frustration in their eyes.

"Ah, so talking down to you all actually does improve your game. Pride, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, huh? Don't let it use you, you use it." He turns around to face Siciliarn as she has now finished preparing her attack.

She thrusted forward and used her ability to Shatter as a way to completely nullify distance between them. Opening up a gate of broken space that leads directly to Z'lusha. It was like they were standing in front of each other. She leapt through at full speed, creating a rift within space with her speed alone. Z'lusha took heed of all of this, taking a small step to the side as he dodges her. He then proceeded to smack another Shatter-Hole open. One that lead to Timozzia as she was rushing to aid Siciliarn. Luckily she noticed the opening and immediately when into defensive mode as Siciliarn crashed into her.

"AH, Timozzia! Are you okay, my friend??" Siciliarn asked.

"Yes, I'm good, Siciliarn! But we have to continue to work together if want to at least push him back into a REAL corner, ya know!?" Timozzia explained.

"Yeah, let us get with the others and push-uh thissa God allll the way back!" Siciliarn asked.

As they continued their bout, we push over to see what Rosareideem and her team of seven were doing.

"Josie, Ri-oh'dioh! Let's go make a hole for Seikosen and Dila to strike!" Kolipso commanded as she now took the lead. Josie and Ri-oh'dioh nodded their heads and followed after her.

Seikosen charged essence into her katana while Dila began to do an odd chant as he readied his bow. Kolipso rushed forward whilst sending a slew of crescent waves towards Rosareideem. Rosaray completely nullified each attack as they come her way. Josie turned into a familiar beast using his beast mimicry weapons. He bounced around at high speed, showing off at rabbit-like beast style he adapted. Smashing into Rosareideem from all sides in order to keep her in place. This allowed Ri-oh'dioh to apply corrosive chemicals to his scalpel great sword. Leaping into the air and becoming the shadow of Josie, impairing Rosareideem's senses as a way to create more openings.

"They've improved quite a bit after realizing we'd really hurt them if not. Interesting!" Rosareideem thought to herself just before finally sending Josie flying with a mean, Destructive backhand.

She was surprised to see Ri-oh'dioh before, and sense Sinnthia right behind her. Both were swinging for the fences with their great swords. Wrapping Zenchi and Impairment around Ri-oh'dioh's while Sinnthia wrapped hers in Ruin and Zenchi. Rosareideem saw herself taking some small amounts of damage if she brazenly blocked them instead of just dodging. These young Deities are truly powerful children after all. So she dodged by leaping above them and leaving them to their own vices. She smiled and laughed like a stoic maniac as their blades met with one another. Creating a storm of explosions and rifts whilst blowing the team away.

"Haaahahahaaa!!! You little tykes are quite the entertainment. You're improving nicely and- Hm!?" She stopped herself up on sending two signals rushing towards her from within the grand cloud of smoke and debris now sitting just below her.

From the cloud came Primoz with her dual blades and Kolipso with her circlet blade. They swung at Rosareideem with very precise attacks. Affecting the atmosphere and area with constant big bangs and decay. Rosareideem merely destroyed it all as she dodged ther attacks. Countering with precise kicks to the ribs as she launched them into the dirt.

"Damn, we're not getting anywhere!" Kolipso shouted.

"Tch... She's more of a monster than my parents when they were alive and even my damn adoptive parents!" Primoz shouted as he watched Rosareideem land.

She walked towards them casually, watching as their body language becomes depressing and lacking any hope fore victory. She frowned upon such a sight. But understood it just as much.

"I never imagined you'd all be this developed in your fighting styles. I'm honestly impressed with that, but your battle sense, IQ, experience and ability to adapt and improvise are LACKING. I'll whip you all into shape once Annihilation gives us the sig... Nal. Hm?" She looked down at the floor that was now turned into toxins. It was actually corroding the boots she made completely out of essence when she was standing there. She looked around to see the source, but only found three other Deities standing patiently. Seikosen, Dila, and Ri-oh'dioh, Ri-oh'dioh being the one showing off his of color and signature of essence similar to the toxins found below her. But by the time she was ready to move...

"RUIN her equilibrium!!" Sinnthia shouted as she stuck her great sword into the ground where Rosareideem's shadow is located.

Rosareideem fell to her knees up on feeling her legs give way. But she managed to stop herself, which is what the team was hoping for. As she recollected herself and focused on reversing Sinnthia's affects. Dila finished his chant and rapidly fired an arrow at her melon. She could see it coming her way, but only managed to avoid a headshot. Her left should was struck instead, fixing her body to pounce back a bit from the impact. She destroys the arrow just before it could strike anything meaningful within her shoulder. Standing as she ceases any reliance on her senses, charging towards Dila and Seikosen... Or so she thought. Just as she took her first step, her body instinctively leapt back. When she looked down to see why, she witnessed an arrow dig almost completely into the dirt. As she purposely took a step back to grasp the situation, another arrow stood in her way. She leaned to the left, and another arrow appeared. She leaned to the right- BOOM, yet another arrow to stop her in her tracks. By the time she attempted to make another move, she was surrounded by arrows from all sides.

"Hmph... Impressive- HM!?" She looked up and noticed Seikosen had blitzed her person. And not only her either, there was also Josie coming down diagonally with his Zenchi coated claws at the ready. They finally got her pinned down and at a checkmate. As for the other two masters...

"Mhm... I'm wrapped in these chains and bow staff links once again. But this time-

"You're going down, ZEENIHILOOOOO!!!" I yelled as I charged in with a twin blade at the ready. YeeNessa could be seen doing the same with her short sword. Both of us charged them full of Erasure Essence and got ready for the damage we were about to deliver to ZeeNihilo.

As for Z'lusha, he was being pinned down by the amped might of Jah'malle after consuming Ghonny's Super Annihilation Verse Recipe; Ten Course Insta Meal. A technique that combined all the essence taken in by Ghonny, on top of his own essence being thrown into the mix. He then feeds it to the targets around him by turning the real meal back into essence and coating it onto a target or many targets' backs. Allowing for an amp to one's concept(s) and essence levels, as well as stats. This allowed them to keep Z'lusha down as as Melumini'itii holds him with her chains. Timozzia and Timone flanked his sides with attack that wouldn't miss this time around. Marking a successful, and true checkmate situation for them as well.

All three masters were done for in this situation and it'd be our win. Our twenty-two new members for a brand fucking new team. Just beat three of the most powerful individuals this verse or even the Omniverse has to offer. It was truly a great moment for us all, or so we thought. Because before our eyes looked as though our opponent have given up and accepted their loss, only for ZeeNihilo, Rosareideem, and Z'lusha to release some of their true power once more. Storming us all with very simple words...

"Annihilate!"

"Destroy!"

"Delete!"

Waves of essence swarmed our beings as we were all pushed to the walls of our respective arenas. Being smashed and bombarded by force we had never once dealt with in the entirety of meager, yet bountiful lives. None of us could move, none of us could break free, none of us could even muster the willpower to command an attack. Their waves of essence left us completely stuck and nearly unconscious. This was the true might of their odd Chi types that they used. The true might of Thingchi, Verschi, and Stuliachi. The might that would go on to...

Wipe us all from existence within those moments. Our complete defeat!
