Chapter 163:

Bow Before HIM!

Project: INFERNO


(As it has been almost a full year of war, with Holy Angels, Earth along with thousands of other planets has suffered the wrath of Michael and God as there was nearly any civilization left alive minus the several defending races whom traveled to Earth to help humans battle the source. As Earth was now an apocalyptic wasteland, heroes whom were Class S and below were all completely wiped out as Class S, SS, SSS and X remained with several casualties among the rankings. Meanwhile at battlegrounds, all that surrounded the battle-scarred Michael was endless destruction as there was no more sign of a single human in sight while Holy Angels was then reconstructing Earth into a new world for God, Michael and their angels.)

"Michael: Father, is there really no presence of them? The unwanted?"
"God: They are no longer in any of our concern for they have retreated once again. But this time, we have the upper hand, my son."
(As Michael looked in the distance of a foggy storm cloud, all alone was Kazuya walking towards the almost-finished throne for God as Kazuya did not show any fear then stops as he was carrying a newly crafted sword Gaito saved for him as a wedding present.)
"Kazuya: Michael! Get your bastard ass down here now and fight me one on one you coward!"
"Michael: Just you? Where's your retreating friends? Where's that wife and beautiful daughter of yours? What about your family?"
"Kazuya: You say another damn word and I'll cut your tongue off faster than you can say one."
"Michael: O-"
(Before Michael could even say the number one, his entire tongue was ripped out from his mouth as Kazuya holds it in his hand across from the Holy Angels and everyone else.)
"Kazuya: I wasn't joking."
(Kazuya then bursts Michael's tongue into bits as he regrew a new one.)
"Michael: Ah.. There we go.
(Michael then descends to the ground as his dark halo was now active then summons a dark-winged sword which generated elemental energy inside its blade.)
"Sword on sword to make things fair now."
"Kazuya: Screw fairness, the only thing that's fair is you being DEAD!"

(Kazuya then in just the glimpse of sight, appears in front of Michael whom blocked his incoming sword thrust with lightning and begins striking with effort into his strikes as Michael effortlessly keeps his guard up while dodging any lethal strikes and countering with faster slashes. Kazuya then sees through Michael's next slash and jumps into a 360 kick which was blocked by Michael's sword as planned as Kazuya then twists his own right leg on purpose then charges lightning into his left leg and kicks Michael directly in the face which drags a trail of dirt across from Kazuya as he did not stop staring down Michael whom was stunned a bit at the connecting blow he suffered for a sheer moment as Kazuya then stomps on his dislocated right leg and forces it back into place as he was then ready to fight once again. As hours and hours has dragged on, Michael and Kazuya continued to endlessly fight in sword to sword combat while Kazuya was pissed off while remembering memories that everyone had with Nathanial instead of Michael as they then entered another standoff.)

"We trusted you.. Everyone on Earth loved you, worshipped you as one of the greatest heroes! Everyone you've fought for respected you and gave you a home... To think you throw this all away like trash... WHAT THE HELL MADE YOU TURN ON US NATHANIAL?! ANSWER ME!"
"Michael: Are you really trying to think that convincing me to turn back will make me good again? Kazuya, you really are a child at the heart still. I never gave a single shit for these mortals, every last one was just praising a god like good little pets. I've been plotting everything for years Kazuya, I even was wary of you when you defeated Knitemare once before."
"Kazuya: What the hell... Who the hell even thought of adding you in Class X..? I knew something was off about you, I KNEW IT! You never showed up when Earth was in danger, you always went around and told goddesses bullshit made up stories just to get your dick sucked!"
"Michael: So what if I did? Those goddesses will have to then give birth to a burden when I die."
(Kazuya then understood what he said which began to trigger Kazuya more into activating Ember Mist until Kazuya was suddenly slashed in the back by six swords all at once which forced him to cough out a heavy amount of blood. As Michael looked up, he notices a chuckling Knitemare whom was reincarnated into a new body gifted just for him.)
"Well well, Elemental Lord, Knitemare. Mind explaining your actions?"
"Knitemare: Taking care of unfinished business with my long lost son."
"Kazuya (Pained): D-DAMN Y-YOU...!! WHY..?!"
(Knitemare then forcefully stomps on a sword and deepens it into Kazuya's back which had him screaming in pain as Knitemare then explained himself.)

"Knitemare: I told you before Kazuya, you will become the next me, my successor into becoming the Elemental Lord."
"Michael: Well now, I'm sure you want to do this with Kazuya.. But we're in the middle of a fight right now which never included you, so kindly step aside."
"Knitemare: I'm afraid I cannot do that. You see, not only am I here for this delinquent deviant child... I'm going to finish what I started eons ago and that's.. Killing. God."
(As God then heard his name, he then takes one glare at Knitemare and remembers the first time they've met which forced him to stand on his feet.)
"God: Knitemare, you know it is impossible to kill a Creator. I am the one who creates all things, nothing cannot be created."
"Knitemare: Go tell that to the deceased Creator of All Things six dimensions behind you."
(God then notices his power has reached the C.O.A.T category which makes Knitemare eligible to kill God, even at his full extent of his power.)
"God: Very well, if you believe you can kill me, you may try to do it now. For the sake of fairness Knitemare, I will not move from this spot for one full minute. You may throw whatever you wish at me, I will warn you that it is strictly impossible."

(Suddenly, a void-charged spear was aimed directly at God which went right through him transparently as the spear was then slashed through Knitemare then caught by a figure from afar which was Shibuto with Hinami and Hellhound Sawano as Daigo, Haramura and every one of Gaito's powered up children arrived to battle. As more fighters such as Ankoku, Fuchibuto, Kirby, Radella, Chimon and Lotus rejoined the fight, the entire Magachi family entered the fight as Michael and God realized the situation that almost all of the Magachi members were at different categories in power, especially the transformed ones. As Knitemare suddenly then notices the Magachi's, he then makes the right choice to quickly escape quickly while dropping a bit of elemental energy into Kazuya as the swords vanished along with his wounds.)

"Sawano (Demonized): The running stops, we end this NOW!"
"Ankoku: We know that Gaito's coming back, his death was a hoax for you to take control of everything, you bastard!"
"Michael: Aw, such accusations. Its perfectly clear to you all are so damn... Ignorant.
"God: Language my child... But I will allow it to slide."
"Michael: Its clear you all need to be put to rest for good, allow me."
(Michael then grabs his dark halo which began to expand and absorb endless amounts of cosmic and negative energy which was enough to create a star-like explosion as Kazuya was then back on his feet and stomps on to the ground then yells at the top of his lungs which activated Ember Mist once again along with combining lightning and several elemental auras as well.)
"Kazuya: MICHAELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

(Everyone then listens to Kazuya's voice as his eyes was bloodshot red and begins to reveal his dragon horns growing out of his head and tail out of his back waist while charging a powerful elemental wave combined with a large ounce of Kazuya's life essence. As Michael watched from afar, he waited for Kazuya to speak while watching him charge his deadly attack.)

"(Thinking): Knitemare, I don't know what the hell you gave me.. But thank you... (Aloud): IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT SHIT.. STAY YOUR ASS RIGHT... THE HELL... THERE AND TAKE THIS BLAST!!"
"Michael: Its coming down to a wave collision now? Fine, then you're just double the collateral damage to this dimension, goodbye you useless rejects!"
(As Michael then launches his attack, the entire wastelands was blinded by sheer darkness and glowing white lights as Kazuya then launches an attack inspired by a familiar series.)
"Kazuya: TAKE THIS YOU BASTARD...! FINALLLLL FLASHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

(As Kazuya's blast suddenly turns yellow, Kazuya then launches his own attack with a vast unlimited amount of forced power, both Michael and Kazuya's attack collides into a power collision as Michael's attack was suddenly pushed back by the power of Kazuya's pride into being a hero and saving everyone's life while putting his on the line. Michael begins pushing back with two hands as Kazuya was then struggling to fire back until Shibuto and Hinami steps in and powers to their ceiling with Kazuya.)

"Shibuto: Just like old times!"
"Hinami: We got this, together!"
"Kazuya: Then lets give our old attack another shot!"
(As Shibuto then engulfs Hinami and Kazuya in Cosmic Aura, Hinami and Shibuto then began to charge their attacks as they've tried their combination attack again.)
"Shibuto: COSMIC!"
"Hinami: OZONE!!"
"Kazuya: BULLET!!!"

(With the combination of Unholy Inferno and Space, Kazuya's attack then overpowers Michael's Dark Star and absorbs it which Michael was then swallowed by the attack which rockets directly into the atmosphere of Earth and creates a devastating explosion across the cosmos which causes the shockwaves to flawlessly slash through any and all nearby planets directly in half.  As everyone witnessed the power of the three together, they've all then noticed that every last Holy Angel was completely obliterated by the sheer shockwave and devastation of the combined attack. As silence settles in, Michael was then seen descending from the skies but completely missing half of his lower body along with his right arm as everyone was suddenly in shock that another unharmed Michael was standing right next to the dying, dismembered Michael whom was no longer in motion.)

" 'Real' Michael: I see another me has failed to do his job. Do it now, father."
"God: As you wish my son."

(As God then did not lift a finger but instead his heartbeat was audible, the Magachi was all suddenly noticed Kazuya, Shibuto and Hinami was then erased right in front of everyone to see by their souls being taken by God without a single warning and was absorbed by Michael as Sawano then was right behind God to attack but was suddenly killed in the blink of an eye by God by a single finger movement erased his core right out of Sawano's chest. As the remaining Magachi's was then fighting, Kazuya then gasps for air moments later as he realized he still had Flawless Resurrection, which somehow considered him immune to being erased. Kazuya then looks behind him and sees the rest of the Magachi's killed as no one was left to fight them.)

"Kazuya: No... No... No... A-Ankoku...! Kirby..!!"
(As Kazuya then realized everyone was deceased, he noticed two familiar bodies in the distance then started to cry uncontrollably as he sees Amisate and his daughter was maliciously killed by Michael whom was walking towards Kazuya with his sword and was laughing out of pleasure.)
"Michael: Reality can suck when it hits? Right, Kazuya? One by one, the Magachi's are dead. Everyone has retreated to a new dimension, there is no one. No one left. Just. You."
"Kazuya: ....Fuck you...!"
(Kazuya suddenly was getting flashbacks as he remembered this fight just like his father fighting against Prime Knitemare.)
"How.. Every time we kill you, you just come.. back..."
"Michael: Hmm... Maybe its because I have Gaito's abilities, forgot? I've given you a chance to join us Kazuya, now that time has come and gone. You will die with your sins, in the endless flames of absolute despair!"
"Kazuya: I swear... I will murder you two..."
"Michael: Yeah... I doubt that, goodbye... Sinner."

(Before the defenseless Kazuya could die by Michael's sword, it was then stopped by nothing but the wind until Michael suffers a devastating gut punch which forced Michael to see an image in his head that he has not seen for a very long time which forced him to sweat. Michael then suffers a thunderous kick to the face which creates a massive crater where Kazuya suddenly was just at until was carried by a humanoid coated in black aura.)

"???: Hang in there, don't bother fighting anymore."
"Kazuya: ... Who.. are you..?"
"Aznea: I'm Aznea, Chimon's... Beast."
"Kazuya: Wait.. his.. b-beast..?"
(Kazuya then had a sudden realization that one specific person is still around.)
"If you're still around then...-"
(Michael then launches himself out of the ground to land a devastating strike on Aznea but she bursts out of the way to avoid his attack which was a trap for Michael was then blasted across the entire wasteland by a single echoing pluck which made him drop his guard.)
"???: Its about time I put an end to this eon war verses you. Getting all cocky because God and you killed every human alive? There's clearly no reason for you to even be alive at this rate."

(Michael suddenly realized the voice as he then traps the figure in a domain quickly and sends it to an alternate dimension. As Michael's guard was dropped, his spine was then gripped by a shadowy figure as the powerful humanoid returned behind him and was revealed to be the Beast King Khomat in his prime as Michael was suddenly terrified of the same presence he felt eons ago when he was Nathanial. God suddenly tries to erase Khomat but was caught.)

"Khomat: Don't try that again, you shriveled piece of shit. You see, a little ally of mines gifted me immunity to your abilities, regardless if you are Creator of All Things. As for you Michael..."
(Khomat gripped his spine and yanks him in midair.)
"LETS FINISH THIS WITH SOME OPEN SPACE!!!!"

(As Khomat then throws Michael directly across the planet and over the oceans, he then sees Khomat right in front of him as he then delivers a fast moving stomp towards the ground which forces him to bounce right off of the ground and suffer a major amount of damage while in pain as Khomat then delivers a bone-crushing elbow to top off the stomp which obliterates both of his arms and legs along with his torso. Khomat then grips Michael by the neck and throws him back into the sky then kicks Michael directly into Death Valley where nothing was around by sand. As Michael was trapped in the sand, Khomat then kicks his head as if he's trying to punt kick a ball. Khomat then yanks Michael out of the ground and gives him a chance to land a free punch which Michael did by exerting a lot of strength which Khomat did not feel.)

"Put more hate behind it... IF YOU HIT ME!"
(Khomat then delivers an thundering knee to Khomat's chest which forced him to vomit blood on Khomat's leg as he realized every last ability he had was stolen but not by Khomat.)
"Michael: D-DAMN... IT... All.. Damn.. you Khomat.."
"Khomat: Don't bother getting up again, your time has come and gone, such a pathetic waste of a Class X rank."
(Khomat then presses his hands together then places them in a position for a domain casting.)
"CAST DOMAIN."
"Michael: ...K-Khomat..! Y-YOU WOULDN-"
(As all sound was blocked across the entire dimension, Khomat was releasing a powerful domain casting trump card he had sealed away for eons.)
"Malignant Overlord."

(As the words was said, Michael looked around and realized he was then ensnared by darkness as a massive figure of Khomat whom was over 20ft tall was staring down the defenseless Michael. As Michael continued to stare in disbelief, he notices his own neck was revealed to be slit open as his entire body then explodes, leaving only his slowly beating heart which Khomat then devours after dispelling the domain and saved everyone who's souls were taken.)

"God: Michael... Enough of these games, Khomat! You may be a forgotten creation, but you're still my responsibility... Just like a human with a pet, the day comes where the pet has to be put down. So your actions will cease, now!"
(Suddenly, Kazuya, Khomat and God realized a familiar returning power level which Khomat chuckled and began laughing.)
"Khomat: Enjoy your final seconds alive, "father." Because, you're gonna bow BEFORE HIM!"
(As the entire dimension was trembling with constant tremors, Khomat then teleported in midair as he counted down to 0.)
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ....0."

(At the number 0, a massive storm of lightning emerges from the skies as a massive beam of lightning strikes the ground and reveals three overly strong humanoids to battle God. As God was then descending from his throne and stares at the middle of the storm, he then sees a muscular Tatsuhiro Magachi, Xisorr and Gaito Magachi with his body in completely peak condition while he was no longer calculable by any means, he then stares at God with bloodshot eyes of hatred as his dragon tail along with his Senvoinian horns was revealed to be shown. As Kazuya then looked from afar, he began to cry with relief that Gaito was still alive.)

"God: Children?"
"Tatsuhiro: I'm not your "child" anymore."
"Xisorr: I may have been created by you but you're nowhere to a "father figure" by a long shot."
"Gaito: Now I'm back..."
"All 3: AND I'M GONNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!"
"God: Insolence!"
(Without any movement, God begins locking the three in inescapable domain until God noticed a highly powerful source of power awakening from the domain which began shining bright gold lights around the walls. As Gaito then escaped the domain, God then stares at the 100% Gaito Magachi with Xisorr and Tatsuhiro's abilities and personalities intact.)
"Gaito: This is the second time ever I have release this and killed someone. I want you to understand this God... I'm no longer you're son."
(A blue tear then sheds from Gaito's eye and engulfs into flames as Gaito's entire body was then engulfed in blue flames which was his version of Unholy Inferno that was released once but never was seen again.)
"All: Because we weld Unholy Inferno."
(Kazuya suddenly notices and goes to Gaito but was stopped by a mental barrier casted by Gaito as God then resurrects Michael without any effort of thinking.)
"Kazuya: GAITO!!"
"Gaito: I'm going away for a while kid. I'm sorry I put you through shit. But this ends, now!"
"Kazuya: NO! LET ME COME WITH YOU, WE CAN FIGHT FATHER AND SON!"
"Gaito: ...."
"Kazuya: GAITO PLEASE!"
"Gaito: Tell the family, I love them all. Don't worry, a Phantom like me can't die. I'm just going to take care of one last fight, one last time."
(As a massive blinding light was being created from Gaito's pinky, Kazuya noticed he was creating a time orb that would reverse time for Kazuya but not for Gaito, God or Michael.)

"Kazuya: GAITOOOOOO!!!"
"Gaito: Take care Kazuya, love you kid."
(As Gaito then shatters the orb, Kazuya was then transported right back in time to before Michael came into existence. As the transfer was complete, Kazuya's eyes was full of tears as he then looked around and noticed he was in Olympus with several Gods noticing him.)
"Kazuya: Where is he...? WHERE IS NATHANIAL?!"
(Kazuya then notices Nathanial nearby and storms directly towards him as he was the Heavenly Counsel's courtroom.)
"Nathanial: I wish you all an enjoyable evening!"
(As Nathanial left, he'd then notice Kazuya storming towards him but was too late to react and was tackled across the entire Olympus plaza which Nathanial began to fight back but was then slashed by Venomshank's Lightning Saber. As Kazuya was revenge-filled and slashed off Nathanial's dominant right arm, he was immediately defenseless until Kazuya was held down by Jogeta and Faiz of the Heavenly Guardians.)
"Faiz: Kazuya! Stand down now!"
"Jogeta: Don't even bother getting the hell up!"
"Kazuya: IT WAS YOU! YOU MURDERED US ALL!!! YOU KILLED.. EVERYONE! YOU.. ALONGSIDE GOD! MURDERED.. EVERYONE! GAITO.. ALL ALONE, FIGHTING YOU TWO RIGHT NOW!"
(As everyone tried to understand what the mentally broken Kazuya was saying, Kazuya was then arrested for disturbing the peace and assaulting a Class X hero.)
"YOU DID THIS NATHANIALLL!!!!!!!"
