Chapter 139:

Chapter 138: Kazuya's Uncontrollable Rage!

Project: INFERNO


(Back on Earth in Aimiya's Infirmary, he then swiftly returned while bringing Choryrth back from destroyed Olympus.)
"Aimiya: Everyone! What's going on..? Where's- Where's Kazuya and Tatsuhiro..?"
"Amisate: No where to be found..."
"Xinera: And Kazuya... is trapped in Knitemare's dimension."
"Aimiya: Damn it..!"
"Choryrth: Sawano, can you reach Tatsuhiro in anyway possible?"
"Sawano: I've already tried that. Nothing works.. He's somewhere but none of us can track his presence. Its like its.. completely sealed off."
"Onara: So while Kazuya's fighting Knitemare, we need to bring the elephant into the room... Did anyone hear what Kazuya said about Knitemare killing his mother and father?"
"Goxius: I've heard especially. You see, Kazuya is the spawn of Narisawa Atharu no doubt. But Knitemare actually kidnapped him as an infant and took him in as his own child."
(Those who was listening had blank stares of disgust. Choryrth then remembered something which was said years ago.)
"Choryrth: Lady Onara! do you remember what Yorito said to Tatsuhiro years ago?"
"Onara: Huh..?"
(She then gasped and remembered the invasion Yorito caused back then in the Void Realm before Xiazress's death.)

-Past-

"Yorito: That boy... Kazuya Atharu.. is going to surpass every god in existence..!"

-Now-

(Onara then hesitated as she then remembered the words precisely.)
"Onara: Yes.. Yorito said.. "Kazuya was going to surpass every god in existence." Why ask that? Does it have something to do with Knitemare?"
"Goxius: It actually does. What happened in Amber and Yorito's timeline is what's currently going to pass right now. The Kazuya we know now is soon to be the next Knitemare within the impending years to go by."
"Khoteku: So why can't we just change the timeline and stop it from happening?"
"Shibuto: Easier said than done. I did some research and the only person capable of truly changing fate is the God of Time. Knowing that Chronos is dead... the only person who can change a timeline's fate is Tatsuhiro. Without him around, we can't change it."
"Ares: Even if Tatsuhiro can change a timeline's fate, there are certain lines Tatsuhiro cannot cross. That goes with the known fact he's the strongest being in existence today."
"Xinera: So there's literally nothing we can do?"
"Goxius: Unfortunately not at the time, all we can do now is bet on Kazuya and Nathanial to win this fight. I can't transport us back there until my magic is completely recharged and Shibuto's currently sending help to the other fighters in the destroyed realms. Onara, is it possible your void manipulation can act as teleportation?"
"Onara: I could give it a try. My void doesn't have a limit whenever I use it."
"Sawano: Anything that works at this point is our only shot, we have to get those two!"

(Meanwhile through the timeline vortex, Kazuya continued to relentlessly attack Knitemare and launched him towards Goxius's Time Realm after warping out of the vortex in which Nathanial continued to follow. Kazuya then released a roaring barrage of punches then delivered an echoing kick to Knitemare's body which crashed him through several clock-themed towers.)

"Nathanial(Thinking): This kid is out of control, I cannot risk Goxius's realm to be in any peril!"
(Nathanial quickly acts and uses his divine light to defend any falling debris as Kazuya was then blasted far back by chaotic energy which angered Knitemare into fighting more seriously.)
"Knitemare: Strength Increase times eight plus Pain Infliction!"

(As the two abilities was said, Kazuya's entire body suffered deep and severe cuts which forced him to hack blood right out of his mouth but gripped the wave of chaotic energy and stopped the entire blast and punched it back to Knitemare which he avoided. Kazuya then flash steps right behind Knitemare and rockets his fist right past his body which proved Knitemare's Repel is no longer active due to the immense damage he has taken.)

"Knitemare: Y-You damned.. rodent..!!"

(Kazuya roared more which forced his aura to increase and engulf around Knitemare. Kazuya then engulfed his right arm with one hundred percent Demi-God lightning and punches Knitemare right into the gut which shattered his entire torso cage and forced him to hack out a heavy amount of blood. Then at lightning speed, Kazuya placed so much force into his arm he punches Knitemare again but was drilling not just Knitemare but himself through reality which traveled them at supersonic speeds from dimension to dimension, timeline to timeline until they collided with the surface.)

"Kazuya: I'LL KILL YOU KNITEMAREEE!!!! EMBER MIST ONE HUNDRED PERCENT..!! LIVEEEEEE... WIREEEEEEEE....!!!!!"
(Knitemare was suddenly feeling the painful affections of overload from lightning and inferno combined while Kazuya suddenly become a white bolt of light.)
"SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
(In an instant, they reappear on Earth collided with the entire surface which not just triggers everyone, the entire Earth suffers a gigantic crack across the planet.)
"All: What was that?!"

(Seconds later, a massive explosion rattled the Earth with the entire Pacific ocean becoming evaporated and sending several dangerous tsunami's to nearby islands and cities along with a very massive meteor-like crater formed in the middle of the entire country of Japan. As Goxius transported everyone to the crash site, they all saw the massive pile of debris filling the crater as Kazuya was then unconscious and carried by Nathanial as he looked at everyone who was teleported, the crater and Kazuya who's entire body was charred and exhausted as his right arm was now far beyond repairing.)

"Nathanial: This young one.. Kazuya. He actually managed to severely hurt Knitemare."
"Ares: Nathanial!! Can you tell us what happened? Where's that bastard Knitemare?!"
(As the debris cools down and is blown away, Knitemare is revealed to have half of his entire body completely obliterated as his reinforced core somehow remained active which forced him to laugh out of the fact he lost again. Everyone minus Nathanial was surprised at Knitemare survived the devastating blow.)

"Knitemare(Pained): It appears... I.. lost again... No matter... I will.. return... To take my son's power... and feed it as my own..."
(The six Knitemare clones quickly returned in time and teleported Knitemare out of the crater as Nathanial shook his head, saying no as it was no longer worth it.)
"Nathanial: Its no longer worth it. Knitemare made it perfectly clear he'll return. Judging on his regeneration speed, it'll take four days for him to fully be at one hundred percent. In the meantime, get Kazuya some medical attention and fast."
(The injured Kazuya was then teleported to the rest where Amisate caught him in time.)
"Onara: Where are you going?!"
"Nathanial: I need to seek Knitemare out for myself. I'll have to stall enough time so Kazuya can be one hundred percent to prepare for him again."

(Without another word, Nathanial flashed out of sight to search for Knitemare. As time past, the destruction of the world remained while Earth was on its final legs and was full of absolute silence across the entire planet. Meanwhile, Tatsuhiro then wakes up a while later and steps outside to see both Nathanial and Khomat bowing before him.)

"Tatsuhiro: I'm aware of everything."
"Khomat: So what do you plan to do now?"
"Tatsuhiro: I wait... Until he activates his final form."
