The Supreme Admin's approach to the final glitch sent a ripple of held breaths through the assembled admins. None had ever witnessed their leader unleash their full might, and the extent of their abilities remained shrouded in mystery. In the blink of an eye, the two formidable entities stood face-to-face. A palpable pressure emanated from both, their auras clashing in a silent prelude to an earth-shattering confrontation. This was the dawn of a legendary battle.
"For a being of your inferior standing," Hyperion's voice resonated, laced with a hint of surprise, "you possess a power that is... surprisingly decent. Almost comparable to my own."
Andrew's gaze remained unwavering. "Today marks the end of your destructive reign, glitch. The damage and chaos you have sown will cease. Here and now."
Hyperion shifted into a combat stance, a predatory glint in their eyes. "Then, by all means, Supreme Admin, demonstrate that you are worthy to face a demon-level glitch!"
Without hesitation, Andrew mirrored the stance. Fists clenched, the air crackled with anticipation. In a burst of blinding speed, Andrew lunged, his fist aimed at Hyperion's core. The glitch managed to parry, but the sheer force of the blow drove them back several staggering steps. A flicker of astonishment crossed Hyperion's face before they retaliated with a lightning-fast kick. Yet, as the limb hurtled towards him, a metallic glint appeared on Andrew's right hand – a knuckle duster, solidifying from pure thought. A brutal punch landed squarely on Hyperion's stomach, eliciting a grunt despite their formidable resilience. The glitch recoiled, but a sinister smile stretched across their features as they unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of punches.
Each blow was met with uncanny evasion. Andrew danced through the storm of fists, his movements fluid and precise. In a swift counter, a sleek pistol materialized in his hand. A pulse of azure energy erupted from the barrel, aimed directly at Hyperion's head. The glitch twisted at the last possible instant, the energy bullet scorching the air where their head had been. Before Hyperion could capitalize on the near miss, they launched a lightning-quick punch of their own. But a shimmering blue shield of energy sprang into existence before Andrew, deflecting the blow. In the same breath, a heavy bazooka materialized in his hands. A high-velocity rocket screamed through the air, impacting Hyperion in a fiery explosion. Though visibly shaken, the glitch remained standing, nursing minor injuries.
The assault continued relentlessly. A sharp, wickedly curved dagger materialized in Andrew's left hand, aimed for a vital point. Hyperion intercepted with their right arm, the blade sinking into their flesh. Ignoring the wound, they retaliated with a devastating uppercut that landed squarely on Andrew's stomach. Despite the impact, the Supreme Admin remained unyielding, not even flinching. The exchange escalated into a furious close-quarters battle, a blur of fists and impossible speed. Then, a sudden explosion rocked the arena. A hand grenade, seemingly conjured from nothing, detonated against Hyperion's leg. Though the blast threw them off balance, the glitch absorbed the damage with surprising ease and launched a headlong charge.
A primal fury contorted Hyperion's features. The realization that a mere human could match their power and speed ignited a volatile mix of rage and disbelief. A powerful rising strike aimed for Andrew's chin, but the Supreme Admin moved with impossible agility, dropping low and countering with a thunderous punch to the glitch's stomach. Before Hyperion could recover, a monstrous rotary machine gun materialized in Andrew's grasp, unleashing a deafening torrent of bullets. Yet, through the hail of lead, Hyperion stood their ground, a grudging respect in their eyes. "You possess intriguing abilities," they conceded, their voice still tinged with disbelief. "I never imagined a human could ascend to my level."
Andrew's response was calm, yet carried the weight of his authority. "I am the Supreme Admin, the strongest among my kind. My innate ability, 'Mental Materialization,' grants me the power to conjure anything I can conceive. But it extends beyond mere creation. I can will myself to be faster, stronger, more resilient than you. My power is my thought, and it is inexorable."
A chilling smile spread across Hyperion's face, escalating into a manic laugh that echoed through the tense silence. "Such potent power... I never anticipated such a thing! I, the very essence of the system's flaws, being outmatched by a simple human? Preposterous!"
With a sudden, unsettling motion, Hyperion plunged their right hand into their own chest. From the void within, a blade of pure white energy materialized. Long and slender, with a stark T-shaped hilt, it pulsed with a malevolent red aura. In a blink, Hyperion launched a blindingly fast series of slashes. Andrew met the assault with uncanny agility, deflecting the majority of the attacks. An axe, its head gleaming ominously, materialized in his hands, and he swung it in a powerful arc. Hyperion parried, their white blade clashing against the dark metal, and retaliated with a sharp punch to Andrew's stomach. Unfazed, the Supreme Admin conjured two compact UZI submachine guns, unleashing a rapid-fire storm of bullets. Hyperion danced through the hail of projectiles, their white sword a blur of motion. In a swift counter-attack, they managed to graze Andrew's shoulder with a searing slash. Yet, the wound sealed itself almost instantly.
"I must admit," Andrew stated, a hint of respect in his tone, "you are a worthy adversary. But our battle has only just reached its true climax!"
In his left hand, a katana materialized. The hilt and guard were a pristine white, but it was the blade that stole the breath – a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of shifting colors. Sylene, observing the weapon, gasped. "That... that's one of Sharon's creations! Designed to eliminate glitches. Project 'RAINBOW'. Originally intended to seal the system bug, but I optimized it... to eradicate them entirely. A true anti-virus."
A flicker of surprise registered on Hyperion's face at the sight of the multicolored katana. A palpable aura of power radiated from it, yet the glitch refused to be intimidated. With another lightning-fast dash, they lunged, their white sword aimed for a decisive blow. But in a movement too swift for the eye to follow, Andrew brought the Rainbow katana to bear. The two blades met, and with a clean, almost effortless slice, the tip of Hyperion's white sword vanished. A look of bewildered shock washed over the glitch's features as they stumbled backward, realizing their weapon was not regenerating. Fury ignited within them. They began a series of impossibly fast dashes, blurring around Andrew like a phantom. But the Supreme Admin's reflexes were honed to an impossible degree. With a decisive swing of the Rainbow katana, he landed a clean hit.
"But... what...?" Hyperion gasped, their body beginning to fracture along the point of impact. In the next instant, the glitch shattered into countless glittering fragments. A wave of immense pressure washed over the entire realm, emanating from the infinite sky, causing the very foundations of reality to tremble. Before Andrew stood the system bug itself, its form shifting and unstable. "Now," the Supreme Admin declared, his voice resonating with finality, "this ends. Here and now. Forever!"
With a final, mighty swing, Andrew brought the Rainbow katana down upon the system bug. The entity shrieked as its form began to disintegrate, crumbling into nothingness. As the last vestiges of the bug faded away, the multicolored katana in Andrew's hand began to crack, the vibrant hues fading until it too shattered into countless pieces. A sigh escaped Andrew's lips. "We... we won."
And so, on that momentous day, the long and arduous war between the admins and the glitches finally reached its conclusion.
