Chapter 14:

An Awakening Destroyer!

Prophet of A Destroyer!


(Back in the Realm of Deities, Qhitarr whom was accompanied by Rothor was speaking with a pissed off god among them.)

"Qhitarr: Calm down, Lady Kroshena.-"
"Kroshena (Telekinetic Goddess): Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! Reika is going to continue living with that mortal scum who carries Banri, the Magician Of DARKNESS!
"Qhitarr: I have faith in Lady Vuella and Destroyer Reika. Whatever they do in their private time is none of my concern, what bothers me is the activity of Banri, which is why I've entrusted the two to take care of Banri and this Aoki individual."
"Kroshena: ...So you'd side with the enemies...?"

(The entire realm began to shake because of Kroshena's rage as Qhitarr orders her to stand down before she destroyed the Realm of Deities.)

"Qhitarr: That's enough!"

(As she then obeyed his command, Kroshena then scoffed and leaves the realm to blow off her angry stream.)

"Rothor: Was it wise to let her go unaccompanied?"
"Qhitarr: She may be one of the eight strongest goddesses, but she's not a child anymore. Unfortunately, undisciplined beings need to be taught the hard way if they want to learn."
"Rothor: That reminds me... During my time outside the Realm, I've noticed another individual hiding an extraordinary amount of magic and elements."
"Qhitarr: Did you get a name?"
"Rothor: ...Arthur.. Williams."

(Meanwhile, Arthur was reading a book while sitting in a lounge area but then sneezed as if someone was talking about him.)

"Roselyn: Are you alright, Sir Williams?"
"Arthur: No worries, I'm quite alright. Someone must be talking about me again."
"Roselyn: You know I never understood the logic behind that, how can you actually sneeze when someone talks about you?"
"Arthur: I call it a hunch or maybe I have a good sense of... whatever."

(Roselyn then chuckled as she now noticed it was only the two of them.)

"Roselyn: Hm, I wonder where everyone else is."
"Arthur: Clearly the two lovebirds are talking to each other and Vuella went to go shop in Serpengate Valley's Shopping District."
"Roselyn: Hm, should we get some fresh air as well, Sir Williams?"
"Arthur: We're outside the capital now, call me Arthur, princess."
"Roselyn: Hmph... Only if you call me Roselyn as well."
"Arthur: I can do that."

(As they both smiled and leaves the palace to explore Serpengate Valley, Reika and Aoki were still talking about what Aoki just said.)

"Reika: ...What do you mean the regions are going to go to war?"
"Aoki: As we speak, all these regions aren't sitting on rainbows, surrounded by candy and happiness. They're plotting, scamming, rigging and even retaliating against each other without having any of their civilians find out."
"Reika: That's very unrealistic to a degree I'd have to say you're delusional."
"Aoki: Delusional? Hmph, seems like you have grown a bit more distaste towards me."
"Reika: ...?"
"Aoki: Understand this, Destroyer."

(Reika suddenly jumped at Aoki calling her a destroyer and not her name.)

"I'm a Cursed Human, you're a Destroyer Goddess. I understand you look down on me for being weaker and less superior to you. I respect your opinions and perspectives, but you're just a superior to me."

(Reika then stood there silent as Aoki continued to stand on the balcony fence and stare at the sunset-soaked horizon.)

"Reika: Just.. a superior to you...? Is that the truth...?"
"Aoki: ..."
"Reika: Aoki. Turn around and face me."
(He'd continue to ignore her.)
"Aoki...!"

(As Aoki continued to ignore her, Hu-Mai found Bai at the top of the palace as they were beginning to head out for their next mission.)

"Hu-Mai: Toshiharu, we leave in five."
(Aoki then falls off the fence on purpose and catches himself then walks away without saying a word to Reika who was still hurt by Aoki but then gripped his arm as she didn't let him go.)
"Reika: I'm not letting you go until you answer my fucking question."
"Aoki: ..."
"Reika: Is just a superior all you see me as or are you just trying to hurt me...?"

(As Aoki remembered their memories together, Aoki still did not answer but Reika then lets him go as she was given an answer from his silence.)

"I see. I'm sorry, go."
"Aoki: Reika."

(As Reika turned around, Aoki noticed an incoming light from the skies which was targeted towards Reika. Aoki then without thinking carries Reika away from the collision as she then noticed the presence of another god.)

"R-Reika..."
"Reika: Go with your team, its fine. After all, I'm just a superior looking after its weakling."
"Aoki: ..."

(As Aoki then leaves, the debris clears to see a pissed off Kroshena stare down Reika who did not expect her arrival.)

"Reika: Why exactly are you here Kroshena? By coming here, you've violated a lot of codes in the Divinity Code of Law."
"Kroshena: Like I give a shit...! I'm here to kill you..! You're Qhitarr's favorite little puppet who he'll wanna save for major jobs like these!"
"Reika: Kroshena... Killing me isn't an easy task. I really want to avoid fighting you so you can enjoy your life a while longer."

(Kroshena then blasts Reika off of the palace's rooftop and towards a crowded group of civilians until she catches herself in midair and focuses on Kroshena but was pissed.)

"Are you fucking crazy?! There are innocent lives down there!"
"Kroshena: Eterne wouldn't do a damn thing about it! So why not trash her stupid country?!"

(Kroshena then manipulates her telekinetic energy to create a tremoring earthquake which begins to destroy small bits of Serpengate Valley and begins to piss Reika off further. Suddenly, Reika punches Kroshena with enough force for the connecting blow to flash the sky from black to white then launch Kroshena outside Serpengate Valley and around the long journeying roads and fields of the Spirit Region. Kroshena then catches herself and spits out her own blood as she then notices Reika's happiness is now gone and her whole attire changes into her Destroyer Form, including her eyes turning yellow and black once again, the spawn of her eight negative powered orbs and Reika's hair flowing into a long full silver color.)

"Reika: I've once enjoyed a cup of tea with you and enjoyed our time together in the Realm of Gods, Kroshena. But attacking innocents like this ends now!"
"Kroshena: Ha! I'll flatten you first then go after Banri myself! Lucky for me, this area is exactly my type of playground!"

(As Kroshena's telekinetic energy corrupts the entire field from a 100 mile radius, Reika noticed the amounts of weapon shaped debris and rocks being flung towards her which she dodges and flies away from as Kroshena continues to rely on only her telekinetic energy to take down Reika then begins to manipulate the gravity to slow her down.) Back in Serpengate Valley, Eterne was awakened by the commotion of ongoing rumblings and tremors as she noticed a small portion of her city was destroyed by Kroshena's doing. As she quickly traveled to the center of the destruction, she noticed Arthur and Roselyn was helping nearby civilians.)

"Eterne: Sir Williams, Princess Musili!"
"Arthur: Empress Eterne...!"
"Eterne: What's the situation?!"
"Roselyn: We're not sure... We came out to get some fresh air only to meet the thunder and destruction..."
"Arthur: I can give my two cents on who I believe it was."
"Vuella: REIKAAAA!!!"

(As the three notices a running Vuella who was terrified, she then was stopped by Arthur as Vuella was scrambling to be let go of.)

"I HAVE TO SAVE HER, REIKAAA!!!"
"Arthur: Calm down! What's going on?!"
"Vuella: Reika is in combat with another goddess as we speak! I can tell when there's another god in this world..!"
"Roselyn: Do you know who it could be?!"
"Vuella: No... I don't.. But we need to stop Reika and fast... There's a specific reason why she's a very feared destroyer and that reason will awaken if we don't stop her!"
"Eterne: I'll initiate a lockdown on the country until further notice, I'm entrusting you three to do whatever you can to stop Reika and the other god from further combat!"
"All Three: Understood!"

(Meanwhile, Kroshena was continuing to attack Reika with much more debris as Reika's level of hatred was becoming rapidly full at a dangerous level which began to increase her power in negativity. As Reika continued absorbing and dodging incoming attacks, she'd suffer telekinetic direct attacks from afar which is to force Reika to drop her guard while she remained strong.)

"Kroshena: Look at the big bad destroyer, running away from her superior goddess! You wanted to make everyone fear you right?! You were going to stop me right?! YOU WERE GOING TO KILL BANRI BEFORE ME, RIGHT?!"

(Reika's eyes suddenly snaps open out of pure rage as her negative aura was so powerful, Kroshena's power was suddenly shut off after one hatred-filled stare which allowed Reika to move fifty times faster than light to have both of Kroshena's arms slashed and decapitated in mere moments which has Kroshena anxious but serious now as she then fights the negative aura and telekinetically reattaches both arms but suddenly, the skies then turns black then white as Reika was down on both her knees trying to regain control of her awakening anger which was sealed away years ago. After one painful shriek from Reika, a cloud of darkness engulfs her inside as Vuella fears they were too late once again but notices the god Reika was fighting and was in disbelief.)

"Roselyn: What's happening to her?!"
"Vuella: We're doomed..."

(They'd notice Vuella on her knees, staring down the cloud of darkness that has swallowed Reika which began to disappear and reveal her ultimate form of a destroyer.)

"Arthur (Thinking): Don't tell me you've reawakened this side of you... How long has it been... 40 years since the calamity...?"

(As the cloud finally disappears, Reika's silvery hair was now reaching down to her thighs, her attire was now protected by small yet very durable armor glowing her a specific sigil, Reika's eyes were completely darker than yellow and black as she was then taller by two meters.)

"Vuella: Guys... Get out of her please.."
"Roselyn: Why?! What is this...?"
"Vuella: Reika hates getting into combat... This form is one of her reasons... Kroshena forcefully awoken Reika's alter ego, her second personality... Kyrija, the Empress Of Destruction."
"Kyrija: Hmph, such a pitiful opponent. I will give you points for interrupting my sleep, but this is not where our fight ends."

(Reika then bends her finger once and summons over six hundred portals to surround Kroshena who then continued to use her telekinetic abilities to manipulate the ground instead with rock spikes which after coming into contact with Reika's body, slashed Kroshena's right leg instead which had her down to one knee as Kyrija then descends to the ground and begins to take step by step which generates a major amount of destructive energy to eradicate the world if she pleased to do so.)

"Kroshena: W-WHO ARE YOU?! YOU'RE NOT REIKA!"
"Kyrija: Of course not young child. I'm the reason for the Calamity."

(As Kroshena was now silent, Kyrija begins counting to ten after every step which generates more and more power for her.)

"One. Two. Three. Four. Five."

(After reaching five, Kyrija's negative aura began increasing as she manipulates her aura into a potential realm destroying bomb as Kroshena was firing as much as she could to break Kyrija's guard while Kyrija was being pleaded by Vuella, Roselyn and Arthur to not count to ten. After the ten count and ignoring the pleading, Kyrija was suddenly hugged from behind by Aoki who covered her eyes and held her as an apology to Reika but mostly to try and calm her down.)

"Aoki: Reika! Its me! Everything's alright...!"

(As Kyrija then blasts Aoki back and snaps her fingers which creates an strong echo across the sound barrier and commands the attack to launch itself towards Kroshena. As Kroshena's defense was shattered into bits, she then was screaming agonizingly in abdominal pain as Kyrija's attack erases Kroshena from existence along with creating the biggest explosion on the planet as everyone was blown away but held on tight to a nearby still object to fight the incoming debris.)

"Kyrija: Kroshena, for the Telekinetic Goddess, you let your emotions and overthinking overcompensate you towards your painful death."

(As Aoki then looked at the devastation of the 230 ft crater which creates a smoldering hole of lava, he'd notice Kyrija hovering over the lava then gives her attention to Aoki who remains where he is as Kyrija floated over to him.)

"You. Are you the one Reika mentions you as "Aoki Toshiharu?"
"Aoki: Y-yeah...?"
"Kyrija: Then from this forward, I will begin watching you myself to consider if you are worthy to be at Reika's side truly or not."
"Aoki: Uh.. o-okay...?"

(As Kyrija then deactivates her form but keeps her guard up, she then suffers a horrible headache as Aoki then carried her back to the palace and notices Arthur, Roselyn and Vuella regrouping together while meeting up with them to help.)

"Arthur: Toshiharu, need any assistance?"
"Aoki: ... I'll transfer Reika back to the palace myself, Hu-Mai, Elvire and Pritchett are helping civilians in Serpengate Valley so I will meet you guys there."

(As they all separated, Aoki then takes his time and speaks to the suffering Reika who was still controlled by Kyrija.)

"Reika. I'm sorry. I was a total ass and you didn't deserve anything wrong I said. Also.. You do realize you're a rebel now... Guess I'll call you a rebellious destroyer."

(In a mere instant, three portals opened in front of Aoki and Kyrija which revealed the Heavenly Counsel stopping them in their tracks, accompanying them was Rothor and Qhitarr.)

"Qhitarr: Aoki Toshiharu and... Empress Kyrija."

(As she then restabilizes herself, she then stood on her feet and noticed the counsel.)

"Kyrija: There better be an important reason why the Heavenly Counsel is here with you Qhitarr. Under your orders, you've allowed Reika to watch Aoki Toshiharu."
"Qhitarr: My word still remains, yes. But, we've arrived to confirm the death of Kroshena ourselves and judging from the massive crater, I assume your two hundred year slumber was interrupted."
"Kyrija: Couldn't a dog get more closer to the bone?"
"Qhitarr: ...I see. If Kroshena's killed, why didn't you leave Reika's body yet?"
"Kyrija: I've taken quite an interest into this.. Toshiharu human. So I will see what makes him worthy enough to fight by Reika's side."
"Qhitarr: Very well, understand when Reika reawakens.. She will be arrested for-"
"Kyrija: That won't be necessary. Reika is the victim and I'm the assailant among another god."

(As Qhitarr was silent, Rothor stepped in.)

"Rothor: So either way, you and Reika killed another God! That should be judgement towards you both!"
"Vuella: YOU'RE WRONG!"

(As Vuella then stepped in, Vuella then rushed to protect Kyrija.)

"Rothor: Lady Vuella, out of the way!"
"Vuella: No! I tried to warn you all, this is what happens if Reika is forced into combat!"

(As everyone was confused, Kyrija then allowed her to explain the truth.)

"Listen, I need you all to understand why Reika is not just a feared destroyer, she's the most dangerous destroyer...!"
"Arthur: We'd like to listen as well then.


(Roselyn and Arthur were not going anywhere as they wanted to hear as well. Vuella then takes a deep breath as she begins to tell Reika's origins.)

"Vuella: Very well.. Aoki, listen carefully too. A hundred years ago, there lived two destroyers..."
