Chapter 188:

Senvoinian Legends #2: Abyss Tamer (Part 2)

Project: INFERNO


(Trapped in thought, Shibuto continues to think and tries to remember every individual he could know that is potentially stronger than the very fabric of space.)

"Shibuto: ...Come on, think! Khomat's powerful in every regard but knowing him, he'll turn down the offer... There's Sawano but after this recently, I'd rather not bother him anymore. My darling Onara? ..No, she's busy with the Void Realm... Chimon?! No.. Hinami..?! DAMN IT, NO! No! No! NO! NO!... GRAAAAHHHHH!"

(Out of frustration, Shibuto plants his head onto his glass table, breathing heavily out of anger before calming down.)

"Shibuto: There's got to be someone who can fight perfectly in space. Someone who's surpassed even space's physics and someone who's in the mood to fight, not mope or is busy..!"

(Shibuto then drops his Divine Communicator before it reveals Shibuto's contacts on Xinera's information. With a glance, Shibuto then hesitates as he thinks of calling her. Before doing so, Shibuto sends a notice to Aimiya that he will be running a "tad bit" late to their meeting. Meanwhile on Earth in Hakodate, Japan, Xinera was found slowly rebuilding the Magachi Mansion as much as she could before receiving a call from someone she did not expect.)

"Xinera (Divine COM): Hello..?"
"Shibuto (Divine COM): ...Mother."
"Xinera: ...Shibuto?"
"Shibuto: ...How's uh.. things..?"
"Xinera: Uh.. Not. Good son. Not. Good."
"Shibuto: ...Oh.."

(After a few moments of awkward silence, Xinera then speaks first.)

"Xinera: Did you need something..?"
"Shibuto: ...Yeah. But I'd rather talk in person, if that's possible."
"Xinera: ...I'm at the mansion, see you in fifteen."

(With a quick hang up, Shibuto was nervous but willing to see his mother once again. After 15 minutes has passed, silence once again fills the atmosphere as Shibuto and Xinera stands afar from one another, traumatized but remembering the incident that has caused the mansion to collapse into rubble. With Xinera taking one step to Shibuto, Shibuto does the same. Shibuto takes another step, Xinera follows him. The two would slowly walk toward one another before standing face to face and exchanging an overdue hug, Xinera's eyes flowing with tears from sadness she's built up within herself ever since the fighting. With a quiver in her voice, she then tearfully yells the very words out of her mouth...)

"Xinera (Sobbing): I-I'm sorryyy...! I wasn't a good mom...! I'm so.. sorry, Shibutoo...!! Please let me be a better mom this time..! I promise I can..!"

(Shibuto feeling the very guilt, he held her close as he also broke down from the very pain Xinera has been dealing with ever since Gaito's "death".)

"Shibuto: Stop..! Y-You're.. a fantastic mom...! I was the idiot..! I attacked and blamed Sawano, I was the one who even started the fighting! I should've known better.. I couldn't control myself!"

(With the two releasing the negative feelings for a brief time, Shibuto then uses the manipulation of the area around the mansion to rebuild it from scratch, as if nothing was ever destroyed. With the two entering the refurbished mansion, Shibuto sighs and stares up at the Magachi Tapestry, 6 painted masterpieces by Gaito of the strongest Magachi warriors in all of Senvoinian history.)

"Shibuto: ...I miss you dad."
"Xinera: ...Shibuto?"
"Shibuto: Yeah..?"
"Xinera: ...There was something you wanted to talk about?"
"Shibuto: ...Um. How up-to-date are you with the information on Kazuya and Knitemare?"
"Xinera: Out of sync. I.. retired fighting."
"Shibuto: ...What..?"
"Xinera: ...When your dad died, it felt as if my whole life was destroyed. And even though I'm a destroyer, Gaito gave me the love I've yearned for all my life. It was the one thing I'd destroy anything to keep, even if it meant Earth."
"Shibuto: ..But if you destroyed Earth, you'd be destroying yourself even more."
"Xinera: ...?"
"Shibuto: You told me before that the one thing you hated about being a destroyer was eliminating the children, those who hasn't even reached the peak of their lives yet. I don't want to come off as mean mother but... that's not just hypocritical, it's taxing."
"Xinera: ...I just... I want him to come back, I don't care if it takes till the end of eternity. I will wait for the man I love."
"Shibuto: ...You may have retired, but will you fight with us one last time?"
"Xinera: Huh..?"
"Shibuto: We've found Goxius, he's trapped in the Unseen Abyss ever since Kazuya and Knitemare killed him in the Time Realm. Me, Aimiya and Amaterasu at this moment are coming up with a plan. I needed to recruit two people who can survive the vacuums of space without any trouble... That's when you came to mind, mother."

(Xinera then wipes her tears away before pondering at the thought. She then answers with her hair changing color from orange to red once again, reactivating her Destroyer powers.)

"Xinera: ...I'll fight. I want Kazuya and Knitemare dead, but I want the chance to prove my strength once again..!"
"Shibuto: I'm glad to have you aboard, mom."
"Xinera: You said you needed two people, right Shibuto? You might know the 4th sinner very well, she's part of the Magachi bloodline.. But she's a very powerful adversary and a former Dimensional Warlord. If you can find her, she'll join you. Her name's Khoteku, ever since she left the Warlords, she went to become a pirate in the Eastern Seas."
"Shibuto: Then that's where I'll start looking, thanks again Xinera."
"Xinera: Of course, dear."

(With the two exchanging another hug, Shibuto then leaves through a spawned portal, surfing through portal to portal to find Khoteku. Meanwhile across the many realms, returning to Kazuya's raided and empty realm, the very domain casted by Khomat to hold Kazuya and Knitemare was eventually going to explode and collapse, indicating that the war is soon to come. With a small crack emerging from the domain, a black ooze leaks from the crack, creating seven shadowy figures to attack each separate realm. Meanwhile in the depths of Hell, loud whipping and roaring was heard as a six-eyed Sawano was torturing the reverted Phoetarr ruthlessly with his Senvoinian Chains and his brutal tactics.)

"Sawano: You're not making this easy, you filthy prick. So I'm going to ask you this once more and you will answer me unless you wanna be killed for the three hundred and sixty third time. What. Do you know. About Kazuya. And Knitemare's location? You were sent to the Realm Of Soullessness from their dimension, WHERE ARE THEY?!"

(The battered and beaten Phoetarr attempts to speak before gargling on his own blood before Sawano blasts his fist through his head once more, Sawano's entire fist coated in brain matter and blood.)

"Sawano: DEATH! Again."

(With the shout of a forceful command, Death then rejuvenates Phoetarr for the 367th time. Phoetarr was then physically crying out of the traumatization as he could no longer take the punishment and gives up.)

"Phoetarr: OKAY!!! I'LL.. TALK! F-FORGIVE ME MASTER SAWANO..!! NO FUCKING MORE, PLEASE!! I CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE ANYMORE..! JUST FUCKING KILL ME!!!"
"Sawano: ...Talk. Then you die."

(As Phoetarr then tells Sawano everything he knows about the two's location, Phoetarr was at last killed for the 367th time, eaten alive by an Unhinged Sawano, Death was slowly rethinking his choices on allying with Sawano, especially knowing his very personality has shifted ever since Gaito's death.)

"Death (Thinking): This isn't the Sawano I tried killing before, no... Something of his father's decease actually created the Sawano Gaito tried to bloom into the light... But, it's too dangerous. Gaito, whatever the hell you're doing up there, I hope you're getting a good look at your son, he's become like you from the old days and it's not gonna be a pretty outcome if he gets to Kazuya and Knitemare first..."

(In the Plane of Arcanedia, Gaito was seen bench pressing two medium sized black holes on each end, physically aiming to send himself beyond the limits he cannot even reach, knowing very well that his very power in all physicality is forever endless, making him an even more deadly force, without the use of his powers nor did he ever need them.)
