Despair for sacrifice

Kanata: "Ugh, this place stinks..."

Kanata stood before Lust on Venus. The many volcanoes, extreme temperatures, high pressure, and acid rain made her dizzy.

Lust swung her dagger towards her, and she blocked it with her forearm at the last second, resulting in a large wound.

Lust: "Pretty slow, don't you think? Here, take this."

He took out a pink spherical bag from a portal and threw it on the ground. It exploded, releasing a magic dust that sharpened her senses.

Lust: "Let's see if you can at least damage me."

He kicked her towards several volcanoes, exploding them and spewing lava all over the horizon. As he flew, Kanata clapped her hands, dispelling the clouds and sulfur clumps in an instant.

Lust appeared before her and stabbed her in the back. She pushed him away with her elbow and grabbed his body with hers. Then, she flew towards the ground with such speed that the planet exploded.

They continued exchanging blows until they landed on Saturn's ring. They landed on different asteroids orbiting the planet. Lust threw huge rocks at her, which she dodged most of. Lust punched her in the back toward the planet.

A small portion of Saturn's atmosphere disappeared. Lust dragged her body through the cloudy sky, until a bolt of lightning struck and pushed them into the hydrogen ocean, releasing huge tsunamis and intensifying the permanent storm.

Kanata felt an intense force pressing down on her body from all sides. It wasn't enough to hurt her, but it was enough to impair her senses again.

Kanata: "I don't need his magic dust to fight!"

She felt her body and mind rapidly strengthen, though not enough to defeat him. She flew towards him at her maximum speed, dragging his body off the planet. About a third of Saturn's atmosphere disappeared with her speed alone.

He grabbed her head and twisted it, breaking her neck. She let go until he teleported them to Uranus. She lay in the planet's core, unable to move. In addition to her injury, the core's temperature was so high for a human that her skin began to melt slightly. Her regeneration accelerated until she was able to stand up.

Lust swung his dagger at her, and she grabbed the blade and tried to crush it. Her hand was severed. He punched her in the face a million times in a second and then kicked her upwards. She stopped in mid-air, struggling to stay conscious as she bled profusely. The temperature of the atmosphere was so low that her blood froze the moment it left her body. The wind forced her to strengthen her posture to keep from flying away.

Angered, she screamed at the top of her lungs, which caused the planet to be pushed out of the Sun's orbit. The atmosphere spread throughout the solar system.

She flew towards her enemy, who easily dodged her attacks. Her speed increased as she became angrier. Her body temperature also began to rise. They punched each other billions of times in just a few minutes, until they were far enough away from the solar system.

Kanata's power wasn't just super strength, regeneration, and resilience. It was the ability to control every function of her body. As her body temperature increased, so did her density. Within minutes, she was as hot and heavy as the sun.

Lust kept fighting her, with minor injuries, being pulled towards her by gravity. He cut her body in half, from bottom to top. Her power continued to increase abnormally quickly, but it was nowhere near that of Lust.

Zetsu: "Lust, this is an emergency! Godspeed!"

Lust teleported away, leaving Kanata's body to slowly regenerate.

Chinese man: "You're causing unnecessary havoc."

Zetsu: "Oh boy, you don't know what the real Havoc looks like."

Chinese: "I am Shentong, a Level 7. It is my duty as a hero to prevent any major commotion."

Zetsu: "Commotion? You see, I was just having fun with a pet. Now you're going to become another pet to me."

Shentong: "If you win, that is."

Shentong summoned a blue Western dragon. It spat out blue fire everywhere, but it didn’t spread like normal fire. Then, the Chinese dragon slammed into Zetsu, who was on the ground, causing a huge crater to form.

Inside a subway station, Shentong punched her thousands of times at a speed that no normal human could keep up with. She blocked each of his attacks with her hands, backing away until she hit the wall. He increased his speed and punched her millions of times per second. She had to concentrate a little harder to keep up with his pace. The mere shockwave and wind released by the attacks began to tear the station apart.

Finally, he kicked her against the wall, causing a huge straight line to collapse beneath the streets. Buildings began to fall and fill the hole. The Chinese dragon swallowed her again, pushing her against a skyscraper. She punched the creature and destroyed it instantly. She landed on the roof of the skyscraper.

Zetsu: "I feel something strange... like there's a real threat to me somewhere..."

She felt a cut on her neck. Then on her stomach and then on every part of her body. It was too weak to cause any damage, but its speed increased exponentially. The Western dragon spat out a huge ball of blue fire that exploded like a nuclear bomb.

As she flew away from the impact, she felt a broadsword strike her back. She was thrown kilometers away, crashing through several buildings. Then, a punch hit her face, halting her momentum. It was Revon.

The invisible ninja kicked her from all sides. Then, a huge vertical solar slash crossed the landscape, striking Zetsu. A laser beam of blue fire came from above and incinerated everything below Zetsu.

Zetsu: "There are three heroes trying to stop me... how cute. I like their powers, maybe I should try to fight back a little."

Shentong appeared from behind and launched several attacks, which Zetsu dodged. Revon tried to surprise her, but was punched in the gut and sent flying for several kilometers. A solar strike knocked her back a few meters, and Sunshield appeared from behind, brandishing her sword at the goddess, who blocked it by holding the blade. She instinctively blocked Zetsu's other hand with her shield, releasing a massive explosion and shockwave that destroyed city blocks.

Revon shed her invisibility to concentrate more speed and strength. She grabbed Zetsu's neck and tried to strangle her. Shentong punched her while she was standing still. Zetsu turned and hit the ninja with his elbows, launching her into Shentong.

Sunshield swung her sword at the goddess several times, but Zetsu dodged all but the guaranteed blows. Shentong's two dragons danced along with her movements, with Shentong himself trying to strike her with his maximum speed. She avoided the blows because she was focused on something else.

Zetsu: "Where's the ninja? She can't be tired yet. She hasn't lost any speed since the beginning, why would she be tired already?"

Revon: "Master, don't you think it's time?"

Gojirou: "Relax, Hayate. I have one last resort that I haven't told you about yet. I'm sorry, but I can't risk you being interrogated."

Revon: "What if she's listening to our conversation?"

Gojirou: "She can't. Even if she could, I wouldn't say what I have in mind."

Zetsu: "What's this feeling...? I feel like there's god-class among us... I can't even locate them."

Zetsu punched through Sunshield's face, killing her instantly. Then, she decapitated Shentong with her hand.

Zetsu: "I have to find the ninja!"

She stormed through the city, finding her within miliseconds. She grabbed the ninja's neck.

Zetsu: "There you are. Are you ready to tell me what your little secret is?"

Revon: "What?! It's like she stopped time!"

Zetsu: "I knew it. I feel something coming from her and entering her. Some kind of unknown energy..."

Zetsu took out her existence-erasing dagger and pointed it at the base of Revon's head.

Zetsu: "Whoever is watching us, come forward! If I kill her with this dagger, she will be permanently erased from all realities!"

But nobody came.

Zetsu: "It was just a bluff. Of course I won't discard my only bridge to that being so soon. But I still have plenty of options."

Zetsu: "If you want it the hard way, so be it."

Zetsu: "Lust, this is an emergency! Godspeed!"

When the gods used their maximum speed, everything stopped for them. It was as if time stopped for the entire universe.

Lust: "How come?"

Zetsu: "Prevent everyone from using their powers, except us."

Lust threw a bag on the ground, exploding into huge clouds of pink dust that covered the entire planet. It had the ability to control people's minds to a certain extent, preventing them from using their powers.

Zetsu: "Now, help me find this being. They're probably on this planet."

They circled the Earth several times until they found him. Since almost all the humans had disappeared thanks to Lust's teleportation powers, the mysterious man could be found more quickly. He was inside a dojo in Tokyo.

Gojirou was the ninja master of his dojo, who trained Kohashi Hayate, or Revon. He was human, but not a normal one. He could inflict fear even on gods. His power was unknown to most, except Kanata, who used it years ago, and Revon. His occultation powers were very efficient. He had pink hair and wore a black futuristic mask that displayed a cartoonish face.

Lust: "So? What you're gonna do?"

Zetsu: "I can't take any risks. I feel like the God of Observation has set this trap for us."

Lust: "Then how could we find him so easily?"

Zetsu stabbed Gojirou's head with the special knife. The poison took effect instantly, as time was still "stopped" for everyone else.

Zetsu: "Don't know and don't wanna know. Even if this wasn't done by that old man, this ninja is clearly our enemy."

Gojirou died and disappeared from existence.

However...

Gojirou: "I haven't told Hayate this secret yet because I knew something big was coming. I made a pact with myself. If I die, my power will instantly activate on whoever I choose."

His power was to move on teleport things. But not on Lust's level. He could move literally anything anywhere, within his own reality. In other words, the entire universe's space could be manipulated with his power. However, he couldn't travel to other dimensions and timelines traditionally.

He came up with a solution: teleport the most reality-warping objects in space right to where someone's brain is. Everyone in the solar system would die instantly, but that person's memories would jump between realities and return to the time they were thinking about. They could even teleport to another reality if that was what they thought.

Gojirou: "Kanata, if this all goes wrong, I'm counting on you."

Kanata: "What? Who are you?"

Gojirou: "Don't you remember? I made you travel back in time when Tokyo was in danger."

Kanata: "Are you... that ninja master?"

Gojirou: "Yes. I've improved my perception of time of space, so I can use my power exactly where you are. However... I need to take the gods down with us."

Kanata: "What do I have to do...?"

Gojirou: "Think about the moment you want to return to. Don't go too far into the past, as the gods will notice it."

Kanata: "Okay... How can this kill the gods?"

Gojirou: "When I die, I'll automatically teleport you to where I am, then move everything to your brain as the center."

Kanata: "Got it. Is it really necessary?"

Gojirou: "It's a last resort."

When Gojirou died, all matter in the universe and the very existence of that reality were teleported to a small area, where Lust, Zetsu, Gojirou and now Kanata were.

The density was so intense that the gods died instantly. Kanata's memories traveled through realities until reaching a brand new one.

Gojirou, however, was permanently erased. This was his last resort, but also humanity's last chance.
