Chapter 172:

Timeline Tussle!

Project: INFERNO


(Amidst the chaos in all realms and the potential destruction of the timeline, every nearby and available fighter, assassin, hero, warrior and more worked together to stop the ongoing attacks and invading villains.)

-Back on Earth, Russia-

(On Earth, all the countries around the world were currently engaged in battle with several rouge Anti-Gods ready for war. In Russia, as an entire party of civilians was in the vicinity of a wide range attack, a roaring from the distance was heard as Trample Horn whom was visiting his homeland, charges his horn and fires a strong beam of elemental energy to dissolve the destructive bomb as Trample Horn then rams through the attacking Anti-God by impaling it with his horn then throws him directly to the ground.)

"Trample Horn: EVERYONE! GET TO SAFETY, I WILL CRUSH ANTI-GOD!"

(As Trample Horn crashes into the ground on his feet, he'd walk towards the Anti-God and cracked his fingers.)

"Xax (Anti-God of Strength): It seems like you possess greater power than exaggerated.. Trample Horn.. I mean, Kosaryov Ustin Stanislavovich The Second."

(Trample Horn suddenly opened his eyes and roars loudly at his own name.)

"Trample Horn: I AM NO LONGER STANISLAVOVICH, I AM TRAMPLE HORN! GREATEST WARRIOR IN HISTORY OF RUSSIAN EMPIRE! YOU ATTACK MEIN HOMELAND WITHOUT KNOWING OF THE CONSEQUENCES! I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE WEAKLING YOU ARE!"
"Xax: Weakling? It seems even after becoming this hideous monstrosity on a warrior, that experimentation has made you dumber than these ridiculous apes of this planet. But very well, if you wish to die so quickly, I'll save your origin story for your pathetic heroes to hear!"

-United States, New York-

(As Anti-Gods were battling heroes everywhere Freedom Knight and his father Reynolds were fighting together as one with combinations while fighting off a rally of Anti-Gods.)

"Braylon: Freedom Knight!"
"Freedom Knight: Leave it to me!! BEHEMOTH... SMASHHH!!"

(Freedom Knight punches the air with enough testosterone in his arm and eviscerates the weaker Anti-Gods into bits by punching the air to create a powerful wind cannon as one of the stronger Anti-Gods walks towards the two.)

"Aehuk (Anti-God Of Obedience): The two heroes of the states. Freedom Knight and the father, Braylon Reynolds, how long I've waited to kill you two with my bare hands."
"Braylon: He's strong, Nathaniel. Don't let your guard down for a moment."
"Freedom Knight: Don't have to tell me twice, we'll win!"
"Aehuk: Chatting a plan without the rest of the class? Why don't you just EXPLAIN your plan to the rest?"

(Suddenly, Freedom Knight blurted out the plan of attack as raging Anti-Gods were ready to attack first. As the two prepared for battle, more Anti-Gods continued to rampage the countries.)

-Japan, Hakodate-

(As a larger amount of Anti-Gods escaped the rifts, large balls of destruction were bowling their way down to the Anti-Gods as Xinera whom was in her Empress Of Destruction attire began to defend on the front lines without breaking a sweat. As a rouge group of Anti-Gods were striking from above a fast brisk of wind rushes through and blasts the Anti-Gods in different directions as Lotus prepared for battle with the help of the assassin's guild.)

"Silvershot: How you doing there gramps?!"
"Lotus: That tongue of yours boy... I'll worry about it later, we must focus on the fight!"
"Silvershot: Assassins has spread out to different parts of the country to spread support- LOOK OUT!"

(As several diving Anti-Gods began to strike the three, out of the shadows was Shibuto manipulating the area and sending the Anti-Gods to a frozen abyss while casting Cosmic Armor around the three.)

"Lotus: Shibuto, you have my gratitude."
"Shibuto: No need to thank me, this war is not yet over..."
"Xinera: There's so many of them damn it..!"
"Hinami: SHIBUTO!!!"

(As Shibuto heard yelling in the distance, she noticed Hinami running with her brother Daigo and Azumi who were exhausted from the fighting.)

"Azumi: What is going on..?!"
"Shibuto: I don't know.. How did this even happen..?"
"Xinera: Time is fucked... It sounds crazy but listen, time is at the verge of falling apart and as of right now, every foe we've faced in the past is coming back due to the timeline slowly shattering. If time doesn't get fixed soon, we'll all die!"
"Lotus: So what you're saying is that-"
"Xinera: The time here is so screwed up we're actually going to be erased if we remain here! It's dangerous for you guys to be here! Take this portal to the Time Realm!"
"Shibuto: But what about you guys..?!"
"Xinera: I'm a Destroyer Goddess and Lotus has been around for hundreds of years, we'll live..!"
"Silvershot: BUT I'M HUMAN!"

(As more Anti-Gods began to rain down the opening rift, a golden light shines from the skies with an echoing voice.)

"???: MOTHER OF HEAVEN, GRANT ME YOUR WRATH!"

(As the lights became a golden light show, more than two hundred thousand golden spears were launched directly at the Anti-Gods as everyone noticed an armor-wearing, male Angel with a Halo as Shibuto questioned him.)

"Shibuto: HEY! Who.. are you?!"
"Arthur William(Royal Knight Guard And Character In Prophet Of A Destroyer): I am Arthur William of the Royal Knights, I was napping and I suddenly ended up in the rift."
"Xinera: Well, we owe you a thank you, can we rely on your help in this war?"
"Arthur: Indeed, I'll gladly be of assistance."
"Lotus: More are coming!"

(As more rouge Anti-Gods were spawned and began to attack, the combined forces began to battle and defend Hakodate at all costs while the wars continued in other realms.)

-The Void Realm-

(Meanwhile, Onara continued to battle and defend The Void Realm as she was beginning to lose her standing, knowing that the Knitemare Clones would return and return every time she kills them but did not give up. Suddenly, a foot taps on the air as another goddess was standing next to Onara with her eyes black and yellow.)

"Onara: Who are you..?!"
"Reika: I am only an ally. It seems these pretenders of a god threatens the throne of a goddess. If you seek my aid, I will gladly assist you, Lady Void."

(Onara lies her sword down and smiled as she accepted it.)

"Onara: You clearly have the words of a smooth talker. Very well, I'll fight with you."
"Reika: Then let us destroy the fakers of godhood."

(As the two goddesses then began to fight together, the Knitemare Clones storms the two as Onara and Reika battles in sync without losing focus.)

-The Beast Realm-

(Inside the Beast Realm, Khomat returns to his realm and notices cursed Ghouls attacking his Beasts has he had no choice but to use one of his domains.)

"Khomat: CAST DOMAIN... MALIGNANT OVERLORD."

(As the two words were then said, the Ghouls were immediately blown into chunks as the Beasts regroup with Khomat to protect them but noticed more Ghouls respawning.)

"Khomat: Stand aside my children, I'm going to have to get dirty here... You ordinary monsters don't exist in this world, I'll gladly send you bastards right back when you came from without any questions!"
"???: HOLD STILL!"

(In the distance, a running claymore welder was rushing to the Ghouls, slams his claymore onto the ground and flips himself into the air, swinging then once again slamming the claymore down, creating a thundering collision to the Ghouls which blasted most into mincemeat by the impact of the backlash and force.)

"Khomat: ...Who the hell are you...?"
"Bai Zhen (My Near Death Is A Blessing): I'm Bai Zhen... I know more about these bastards. They'll keep coming in packs and more."
"Khomat: Is that so? Then I'll have to remove a limiter or two."
"Bai: I'd say we work together for the time being, I'm not of this timeline..."

(Suddenly, another horde of Ghouls then appears out of the timeline rift and begins to attack Khomat and Bai Zhen.)

"Bai: But we have no choice!"
"Khomat: Very well, but get in my way and you die!"

-The Dragon Realm-

(Through the attacking, Dynnael and Choryrth battles through the endless sea of superpowered humans battling through the Dragon Realm Military and its forces as Gaito storms down as the thunder, creating a large crater and begins battling every single attacker while rescuing the dragons and teleporting the wounded dragons back to Choryrth and Dynnael as Gaito then roars loudly into the skies which created an ear-ringing screech and blasts the attacking enemies into chunks of meat due to the extreme force of volume and power.)

"Dynnael: Gaito..!"
"Gaito: Dynnael, Choryrth..!"
"Choryrth: Gaito..! What's happening...?"
"Gaito: The timeline is completely fucked. No realm is safe except the Time Realm."
"Choryrth: Wait, where's Goxius..?!"
"Gaito: ...No clue.. Goxius is nowhere to be found and I can't even pinpoint his location anymore."
"Choryrth: We need to get to the Time Realm, but we can't leave the realm defenseless!"
"???: Leave it to us!"

(Storming down from the skies was Aimiya and Fuchibuto as the two were protected by Cosmic Aura from Shibuto to gift them immunity to the timeline's reversal affect.)

"Aimiya: We'll handle these guys, Shibuto managed to immune us from the timeline's affects with his Cosmic Aura."
"Gaito: ...Shibuto, you fucking GENIUS..!"
"Dynnael: You two have my major thank you!"
"Fuchibuto: Don't worry, just get to safety!"

(As Gaito then warps Choryrth and Dynnael to the Time Realm as Fuchibuto and Aimiya begins to defend the Dragon Realm with the Dragon Realm Military. Meanwhile in the Time Realm, the entire Magachi family, including Gaito's friends as most of the warriors within the realm were feared of the consequences of their own timeline.)

"Gaito: In the Time Realm, we'll be alright here."
"???: Gaito..?!"

(As Gaito noticed a few old friends, he'd especially notice his sister, Masunashi whom has awakened from her hibernation but was also transplanted during her sleep. Gaito then walks towards her and felt her face while she held his hand with a smile.)

"Masunashi: It's me little brother..."
"Gaito: ..."
"Masunashi: I missed you a lot. How much did I miss...?"
"Gaito: ...A lot. But all hands are going to be on deck for this battle."
"Ares: All hands will be needed indeed..."

(As everyone noticed the incoming Gods arriving into the Time Realm, they'd explain the situation to everyone.)

"Ares: This is no original war, this is the Timeline Warfare. Enemies and allies from all corners of the multiverses are invading this timeline. On top of that, the Mythology Evil is arising, revenant enemies are appearing.. And then... there's Death."
"???: You rang...?"

(As everyone noticed the Time Realm's atmosphere becoming darkened by a shadow, an infinite count of Death shapeshifted into an attractive female human body with the appearance of Sukinahime mixed with an unknown Goddess of Senvoinian Mythology as the shadows all laughed at the cowering warriors and silently feared Gods as Gaito was pissed for he noticed none of the Deaths spawning were the real one.)

"Death Shadow #1: If you ask, this isn't the real me unfortunately. But I'm not like Knitemare, so this will not be a game, just a little message."
"Death Shadow #2: The real me is currently engaged with hunting all who has opposed Death for years and years, starting with the Titan Realm..."
"Gaito: ...! IKEHARA!!!!"
"Death Shadow #3: Ah ah ah! Do you understand how far it is to travel from the Time Realm to the Titan Realm? Along with the known knowledge that warp teleporting is corrupted now and no longer works?"
"Gaito: ...That may be, but you're talking to someone who jumped from Neptune and back to Earth in EIGHT SECONDS!!!"

(Gaito then pressures his feet through the ground of the floor then blasts through the entirety of time and space, warping into the crumbling Titan Realm which was infested with Hell's demons and home of Mythology's evilest Gods being battled by Ikehara who was bleeding and badly wounded but was still on his feet as he was surrounded by powerful attackers as Gaito then storms towards the crowded Ikehara.)

"Gaito: IKEHARAAAA!!!!"

(As Gaito then summons five swords, biting down on three blades and catching two with his hands, he'd slash, slice, dice and clash through the massive crowd of demons and several gods as he then backs up Ikehara and zaps him with a small shock of lightning to restore Ikehara to 100% as the two were then ready to fight together.)

"Gaito: I'm lucky I made it in time."
"Ikehara: You fool...? Where is your team..?!"
"Gaito: The timeline's going through Hell right now."
"Ikehara: Good God..!"
"Gaito: Everyone's safe. But I have to get you out of here."
"Ikehara: I can't leave the realm unprotected!"
"???: We'll take it from here."

(As a timeline rift opened revealed a barbed wire bat holding, low hair cut and powerful Negan Zhihao with several Mercenaries as reinforcements.)

"Gaito: Wait a second... Negan?"
"Negan Zhihao (My Near Death Is A Blessing): You're Gaito eh? I didn't know I packed the body and presence of a God."
"Gaito: We'll get into that later, what do you mean you'll handle it here/"
"Negan: Simple. We'll kill every opposing piece of shit that stands here right now."
"Gaito: I know you're me, Negan. But can you even take down Mythology Gods?"
"Negan: You can stay and watch or let your friend there continue to slowly vanish from existence. Your call."

(As Gaito chuckled a bit, he'd grab Ikehara and warps with speed back to the Time Realm with Ikehara as everyone was uneased with the message they've received from Death.)

"Gaito: Wait... Something happened. What the hell happened?"
"Xinera: ...Sawano. He's in danger!"
"Gaito: What the hell do you mean?!"
"Hinami: Death is going to attack Senvoinerth to kill Sawano first!"
"Gaito: ....DEATH YOU BASTARD!!!!!"

(Meanwhile on Senvoinerth as the Senvoinian Empire was currently outnumbered but standing tall with ongoing warriors, Sawano was currently engaged in a fight with the enraged revenant of Hades who was stronger than he was before.)

"Sawano: Damn it..! What the hell is going on..?!"
"Death: This is your baptism, Sawano..."

(The real Death was appeared to be in Senvoinerth with the presence as Gaito but the appearance of the one Sawano hated the most, Kirby Magachi. As Sawano was then backing away, his memories began to clutter with hatred for Kirby as he then hisses and begins to attack first but suddenly was blocked by Hades who swings his fist into the ground, missing Sawano who warped back to where he was previously and stares the two down.)

"Death: ...But instead of protecting you from a God, you will be struck down by Death!"
