Chapter 31:
AGONY! The Omnipotent Deity's Dastardly Quest
Everyone gathered in the main meeting room as Harumi placed the items she recieved from Tetsuka on the table.
"The box and dagger might be important for later. The key is ultimately what matters. It may look ordinary, but if you shine a dark light on it, an "M" will appear. As for what it is, it is the M. family's key to the Illumous depository," Harumi stated.
"So what is all that?" Tetsuka asked.
"Illumous was founded by 12 families. The depository is their treasure and forbidden records stache. Each family was given a key in order to prevent one family from having sole control over the vault. There is also an additional 13th key that is apparently held personally by the chairman of the council and remains in the secret Illumous council meeting room at all times."
"Busting open the vault would completely destroy mortal Illumous. Then only the real founders would be able to mitigate the damage, which I would effortlessly prevent them from doing," I snickered.
"Real founders?" Nika asked.
"Yeah, like the head of the Marauders."
"As for the other keys, we're unsure of their location. Some heads likely take the keys with them, while others safekeep them in a secure place or constantly move the key around," Harumi continued.
"None of the heads we encountered today had their keys on them, though I can see that the green twig that took Madoka's friend Serika has the key in his base in Iceland."
"Well that simplifies things. Backup Madoka and get the key from Akuma."
"Before we do that though, Honoka and Tetsuka are going to do some special training."
"So you're going to ascend to the Omni plane then. Tetsuka, it is not easy to do so. You must either have the strongest mental fortitude or the most insane insanity in order to ascend on your own. Though I imagine your pact you made with Muramasa Jouzu will aide you as it did for me."
"Wait, you're an Omni and have a pact?" Tetsuka asked.
"Yes, but I'm not really the combatant type nor was my pact the strongest. My Omni powers are why I'm able to make such good food though.I'll give you a warning, to become an Omni you must become one with ALL your preexisting selves."
"Ohahahaha! So I must slay myself to become stronger. A worthy bout!" Honoka smiled.
"And when can I become omnipotent?" Ayaka glared.
"You're only at level 72. Get to max level 100, then I'll give you the express lift to the Omni plane," I stated.
I then whisked Honoka and Tetsuka away to the base of my mountain, and explained the process of ascending to the Omni plane to them.
"Relax, once they're done, we'll go straight to Fagradalsfjal. Everyone else can train. Kumi will fight with Izuhana and baldy while Nika goes against Zeno. Ryuujin, feel free to head out to retrieve the key. Though save the low level Omnis for Honoka and Tetsuka."
I then warped everyone else away as Harumi put the key in a secure location.
...
Ryuujin stared down at Fagradalfjal.
"Looks like they're already inside," Ryuujin stated.
"The twig doesn't have the key on him either. I can see it's in the room at these precise coordinates," I said as I told Ryuujin the key's location telepathically.
"I got it. I'm allowed to give the girls a little help right?"
"Yes, just make it look like the volcano's erupting."
As Ryuujin made the ground shake with his power, three goons ran out of the secret base within the volcano. Akuma Ookuma, the twig ended up falling into the magma in humiliating fashion. I destroyed him for good with my dark flames as he sunk below the surface of the magma.
Ryuujin then flew into the volcano from the duct and found the key. However, it was guarded by a large white furred oni.
"I'm Hyougoro! The ice oni! I can freeze all, even dimensions," the oni declared as he let loose an attack.
Ryuujin swatted it away with his gravity and sent Hyougoro hurdling towards the magma. Hyougoro simply froze the magma, turning it into a cold blue liquid.
"I should mention I'm a powerful Omni," Hyougoro smirked.
Ryuujin smiled and went into dragon mode. The two exchanged blows and flew high into space.
"You realize it only gets colder in space?" Hyougoro sneered.
"You should know space is where I can go all out," Ryuujin snickered.
Hyougoro formed an ice kanbo while Ryuujin summoned his gravity kanbo. The two then locked in a grand duel. They'd constantly send each other flying through planets and hurl various ranged attacks at each other.
"It's been a while since I had a challenge," Ryuujin smirked.
"I haven't gone all out like this in forever, but once I best you, my collection of slain foes will grow. Oh how I wish to slay more. No matter the streghth I must slay more. More more more!" Hyogoro laughed as his mind shined gold with greed.
"All out? Well now I'm mad," Ryujin glared as a red vein of wrath appeared on his arm.
"GRAVITY DRAGON'S ROAR!" Ryuujin shouted.
"Ice oni's BELLOW!" Hyougoro shouted.
The two attacks clashed.
"It looks like I'm pushing you back," Hyougoro laughed.
"That's cause I aint continuing my roar," Ryuujin growled as he split into two.
One copy stood in place while the other warped behind Hyogoro.
"DOUBLE HEADER!"
Both Ryuujins swung their clubs distorting everything between them in a field of gravity.
Hyougoro screamed in pain as he was mangled by the gravity. A gravity kanji then appeared on his back and compressed itself into him.
"Looks like you couldn't handle me failure. GRAVITY DRAGON'S GALACTIC SMASH!" Ryuujin yelled as he coated his gravity kanbo in purple scales and slammed it into Hyougoro.
A gravity vortex appeared as Hyougoro lost consciousness and fell through it straight to the bottom of space crashing through anything in his path. and straight into a sea of my dark magma of destruction. He screamed in pain, but couldn't freeze the flames, nor was his master fast enough to warp him away to safety. Ryuujin had beaten him, and I had destroyed him.
"Good job, he was actually a level 52 Omni. You're now finally at level 50, though Phoenix managed to up himself to level 66, so there's still a ways to go," I said to Ryuujin.
"Wonder what that ass did to jump up like that. Well at least I'm level 50 now," Ryuujin shrugged.
"Time to swap out now. The girls are level one Omnis now, once they get back feel free to spar with them."
"Hell yeah!"
I then warped Ryuujin back to the mansion and warped my new attack team into Iceland. These should be some interesting matchups.
