“Oh, like the Supergods did when they sealed you away?” Pi snarkily replied. “Admit it, they cared nothing about you. I, on the other -verse, do. Because you are a valuable asset in my plan. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered resurrecting you.”Dark Oblivious gazed up at Pi, intently glaring at him. “(Fuck you! You left me for dead!)”
“(Then why did you not help me when I needed it most?!)”
“The Tree was a means to an end, a premeditated action. I had always planned to jam the Tree with you and resurrect you later, but you wouldn’t have followed my orders if you knew that.”
Dark Oblivious slowly looked down, and then back up at Pi, before charging at him and roaring. “Ah-ah! Down child!” Pi said as he slung a yellow flame at Dark Oblivious. Dark Oblivious was briefly engulfed in the fire, crying out before the Flames dissipated, and they were brought down to their knees seemingly against their will.
“(Y-…Yes, master…)”
Pi grinned widely. “Splendid!” He said, clapping his hands in delight. “Let us meet your new friends now, shall we?”
Venrensorys, Oblivious, Dark Oblivious and The Djinn then all started immaturely bickering amongst themselves. Pi quickly shut it down by blasting a wave of Yellow Flames at them, bringing them under his servitude with absolute loyalty.Pi turned to face his chalice of Blue Flames, expecting something to happen. As if on cue, a large plume of the Flames sprung from the chalice, and took the shape of The Djinn. “Huh! W-where am I?!” he called out, disoriented. As The Djinn looked around, he realized that he recognized his surroundings. He had been here once before. Then, he turned to see the entity which was responsible for his arrival here – both metatimes. The Djinn narrowed his eyes as more memories returned, and a rage flared up within him. “You!” “Yes, me.” Pi nonchalantly replied. “You made me this way! You ruined me!” Pi cackled maniacally. “You idiot! Can’t you see, I have actually helped you, on every step of your journey. I am no Peralitus…” “Who is Peralitus?” “Exactly. I am the only being that has actually looked out for you. Did I not lie when I said the Blue Flame would bestow power upon you? Was I not helping when I led Kotoblade to ‘stumble upon’ those Knight boots?” The Djinn was visibly conflicted as he looked at Pi. “You already have achieved, even surpassed your goal of achieving Omnipotence¹. But I can still give you even more than that, if you agree to join my cause.” The Djinn shook his head. “No, I refuse!” Pi paused for a brief metamoment, before saying, “Silbix.” At first, The Djinn was confused, and then horrified, as he realized that Pi had spoken his true name. And with that, The Djinn was bound into Pi’s servitude. Pi grinned. “I am so glad that you agreed to join.” he said sadistically. “Now, it’s metatime to bring in the last member of this alliance.” Pi reached out across Metaspace, and pulled forth the very mind and essence of the Venrensorys native to Transcendentem-Tt. Venrensorys took form, taking on his familiar ghoulish presence. “Where is the Supergod Council? I must destroy them!” he rasped. Pi smiled. “Then it is your lucky metaday. Because I can provide you with that opportunity.” “Why should I trust you? I have already been betrayed and taken advantage of far too much…” “I have made you what you are. You are my Creation. And, I was the one that brought you back. Therefore you are of value to me. That is why.” Venrensorys stared blankly, as if processing the statement, before finally reaching his decision. “…I accept.” Pi then addressed all three of the beings he had gathered. “Now, I have first summoned you three specifically, because I consider each of you to be my champions with the greatest potential and chance of success. In fact, there are some versions of you which have succeeded in your conquests, or came very close to doing so. Now, I believe I should hold you privy to my plan.” “(And what is this ‘plan’?)” “For all this metatime, my end goal has been to summon my lord Najha-Tebah, so that together we can cleanse and enlighten Existence and I may be rewarded with a metaplace in Paradise.” Venrensorys looked at Pi weirdly. “That is certainly a tall order. You surely recognize that you are not the only schemer with similar or greater levels of ambition, right?” Pi shrugged. “Ah, of course. I know about these ‘schemers’. I know they have even been responsible for some of the versions of all you that accomplished impressive feats. In fact, it could be said that I took some notes from their actions. But the difference with me is, I have a greater advantage gained by all my observation. While I have seen all their successes, I have witnessed just as many failures. I have seen the trial and error, and it has helped me in assembling my plan. I am the being most of these other so-called ‘schemers’ only wish they could be.” The Djinn looked up at Pi. “And how are you so convicted of your mission? You don’t seem to have much to actually show for it.” Pi gazed down at The Djinn. “Najha-Tebah gives me divine wisdom. His whispered songs of insanity contain melodies of truth and knowledge which I wield as one of my greatest weapons.” It was then that Venrensorys spoke up. “Master, how do you trust in me but also these others? Some are weak-willed, many are unambitious. I know for certain we all already have opinions of each-other.” Dark Oblivious was triggered by Venrensorys’ comment. “(I’ll have you know that I am not ‘weak’. I have even absorbed many beings, including that Djinn.)”
“Quiet! I don’t want to hear any of this ‘this version of me’ and ‘that version of you’, or anything of the sort. No matter what your past relations may have been, all of you work for me now, and you will cooperate if you value your lives as much as you value the reward. Is that understood?”
“Good.” said Apex. “Now, we must prepare. The final stand is soon to begin.”Slowly, the group of beings briefly looked around at each-other, before then turning back to Pi and slowly nodding their heads in submission. Pi happily clapped his hands in delight. “Yay! Now, let us get to work!” he said enthusiastically. “Now, one last thing to address. You are all still at your original levels of power. In this state, you would be effortlessly annihilated by our enemies. So, it’s metatime you all received a little upgrade.” Pi said, as he approached them with The Apple… – Back in Apex’s palace, they and several of their fragments had gathered Hyperman and The Supergods. “What we have feared is threatening to come to pass. Pi has taken possession of the exact thing required to accomplish his plan.” “So, are you going to tell us what was so special about it?” asked Hyperman. “I shall.” replied [REDACTED], another of the fragments. His figure was incomprehensible to Hyperman and The Supergods just as Apex was, even with them being transcendent deities. “My name is…actually, I should not tell you that.” He approached them. “I know why this item is special, because I contained it. The item in question is a significant seed of the External Hazard. It has the most concentrated essence of the Hazard, and holds the closest connection to Najha-Tebah itself, the source of the Hazard. It isn’t only useful for infecting things. It is incredibly versatile, with an infinite amount of possible applications. However, I think we all know that Pi intends to use it to summon Najha-Tebah. I discovered it at the site of a Hazard-converted Omniverse, which took on a Tree-like form. The Seed hung from it as a tree would bear fruit. Upon realizing the power that this seed contained, I knew it had to be destroyed. I erased the entire Omniverse and all its contents, as well as all memories associated with it, and the existence of beings that encountered it. But even after all that, the seed still remained. So, knowing that my power was not enough to erase the seed, I chose to instead hide it. I sealed it away within another powerful relic, The Dagger, and left it within the monocosm.” “Wait, what is The Dagger?” asked Conceptlium. “A powerful tool that can tear rifts in metaspace and possibly even metatime.” Replied [REDACTED]. “…In hindsight, perhaps putting them both together wasn’t the best choice. But as I was saying, I feared that the seed would be discovered if I left it there long enough, so I gifted it to The Nexus Foundation, arranging for them to discover it.” “I don’t understand why you are so concerned. If you wanted to find Naha-Tebah and destroy it to begin with, wouldn’t this be the prime opportunity for it?” Asked Hyperman. “What you fail to realize is that we wanted to destroy Najha-Tebah back when Whateverse was well-organized, well-defended and completely stable. We have none of that now. If Najha-Tebah’s true form were manifested into Whateverse in our current state, doom would almost be a certainty.” The Recruiter scoffed. “You just come up with the best ideas, don’t you?” She said to [REDACTED] sarcastically. “First, you incite The New God’s uprising by attacking him, after he had seemed to be leaving us alone. Then, you put two of the exact things needed for Pi to summon Najha-Tebah together. Then, you entrust it to an infinitely weaker group to protect it, when it was hidden in a much better location before!” Realitus smugly grinned. “Such supposedly mighty beings you lot claim to be, yet you seem just as ‘petty’ as ourselves, if not more…” he scorned. “Silence!” Apex declared, their voice resonating loudly like thunder. Everyone fell silent now, devoting all their focus on Apex now. “This is not the metatime for squabbles. Perhaps the greatest threat Existence has ever faced in knocking on our door, and right now, this division is exactly what Pi wants. Are you going to let him get that?” Everyone looked at each-other, then back to Apex. They solemnly hook their heads, with understanding.
CHAPTER 12
“Since The Knight is unwilling to don the armor, a new champion is needed to take up the mantle.” The Recruiter announced. “Unfortunately, due to the metatime-sensitive nature of this situation, criteria of virtue or worthiness shall be disregarded. Instead, what shall primarily matter is how great of an advantage we will be provided by the individual wearing the armor.” The Recruiter paced back and forth in front of the group. “Therefore, the being I shall choose for this role, is…” she paused, intently studying them all. “…Hyperman.”
Everyone, including Hyperman himself, was shocked by this.
“Recruiter, are you sure that your intuition is infallible? I believe I would make a far better fit.” Realitus suggested.
Hyperman didn’t know how to respond to this. “Why me?” he asked.
“It is simple, really.” replied The Recruiter. “You are not virtuous by any stretch, however you have shown an incredible knack for navigating tricky situations, and slipping through the cracks. You are the most versatile, and therefore would provide us the best advantage.” With that, The Recruiter approached Hyperman, and dumped all The Knight’s gear into his arms. “Get that on.”
Hyperman, still somewhat in shock, followed The Recruiter’s orders in a daze as he put on the armor. He found that it was incredibly clunky, and too large for him to fit in. The loose armor clanked around as Hyperman attempted to move in it, and he stumbled around. However, the armor then started transforming, morphing its size and even design. The armor shifted around over Hyperman’s body, until it arranged into a configuration that was much more form-fitting. The helmet semi-fused to his reflective mask, and the symbols on his chest were now shown on the armor’s chestpiece. The glowing blue trimming from his suit was also present on the armor as well.
“How does it feel?” Prismus asked.
Hyperman unsheathed The Blade of Destiny, staring down at it. “It…feels like I’m standing in boots that don’t belong to me. And despite them being perfectly tailored to my figure, they still feel too big to fill…”
“Huh, it seems the armor also makes you into a poet.” Unthil snidely remarked.
“We must now travel towards Pi’s lair and confront him. He has not yet enacted the ritual, meaning we may be able to catch him by surprise.” Apex said.
“Where is Pi located?” asked Logixel.
“He resides in a megastructure, located at the farthest edge of Whateverse. It was The New God’s palace originally, and he had strategically chosen it so that he could be ‘closest to Nonexistence’.”
The Gatekeeper approached the group. “I will teleport us all there. And meanwhile, I’ll gather what reinforcements I am able.” he said, splitting into two copies. One teleported away, while the other remained. The Gatekeeper opened a portal, and everyone stepped through.
-–
On the other side, the group found themselves in a realm that could have only been forged within the nightmares created by the most truly distrubed of minds.
The entirety of Pi’s Hazard Servitors then joined into the army at last. Every single member of this army was raised to the power level of transcendent deities. As they all marched forth towards the group, Hyperman looked on in despair, nearly falling to his knees. He felt absolutely hopeless.Monoliths, erected as monuments to Pi’s deity, flung themselves towards the heavens, prostrated before by several Hazard servitor-priests. The presence of The External Hazard was extremely poignant, permeating all throughout every aspect of the realm down to its smallest detail. Tendrils and appendages belonging to the Hazard were visibly overtaking several of the monuments, like ivy growing over a derelict building. There were even signs shown of the Hazard beginning to infest Pi’s palace megastructure, visible in the distance. Pi was in the temple of the megastructure, deeply engrossed in his prayer/meditation as he attempted to commune with Najha-Tebah. Yellow Flames were blazing all around his form in a ritualistic spiral shape, as he entered into a rhythmic trance of ecstasy. Once he had amassed enough momentum in this trance, he entered the pool of Hazard fluid that was surrounded by the spiraling flames. He submerged himself up to his waist, feeling an increase in power drawn from the pool and his connection to it. “My Lord, the metatime is upon us! Everything has thus far gone according to my plan. Soon, you shall be free, and we will cleanse all of Existence. And then, we shall help it ascend and awaken it from this dream, reunifying it with the state from whence it came…” Pi heard whispers of madness within his mind, and he nodded along in agreement. “Yes, I understand. Yes, I shall. I humbly thank you, my lord. I love you.” Suddenly, Pi sensed the presence of Apex and all their various fragments, as well as Hyperman and the Supergods in the realm. A devious grin crossed his face, as he maniacally laughed and twisted his form out from the pool as he slithered towards his lieutenants. “They have come. Go forth, and be so kind to introduce yourselves. I shall then create a diversion to hold them off.” As the group stood near the palace, they were suddenly greeted by the form of Venrensorys, who loomed over them. “Greetings. We meet again…” he slowly said, specifically to the Supergod Council. Paradoxus and Realitus were shocked at this turn of events, while Unthil and Conceptilum not so much. Imaginatim. “We have stopped you before, and we will stop you again if we have to.” Logixel declared. “Your optimism humors me. But I would like to make it known that I am not the only one you are facing.” With that, Oblivious and The Djinn appeared beside Venrensorys. Hyperman and The Supergods, having knowledge of all these beings, instantly raised their guards upon seeing them. And as Kotoblade was not fully destroyed prior, they also raised their guards towards The Djinn. It was then that the form of Pi was seen looming high above the two groups, overlooking the scene from a floating asteroid. “But wait, there’s more!” He declared like an enthusiastic salesman.. Dark Oblivious turned and looked up at Pi. They asked “(What do you mean, ‘more’?)” Pi grinned. “Well, while you three are my personal favorites and the ones I am putting bets on, I am also pulling in a few other friends who will challenge and break the spirits of our enemies…” From another point in metaspace and metatime, a different being appeared: Xaragon, The Mad God, resurrected as a fusion with The Fracture. He sang something that sounded like a cross between an opera and a lullaby, kulning a horde of Idea Breakers and Fracture Hazards to his side. Pi then willed into the realm two beings. The first was Ultraman, who was pulled from the point in metatime just before being defeated by Hyperman. The second was The Seventh, who was plucked from a point in metatime just before meeting Hyperman. The two beings looked at each-other, and nearly came to blows. But a small Yellow Flame appeared over their heads, and almost robotically they turned towards Hyperman, now fixated on him instead. However, Pi still was not yet done with his grandiose display. As the cherry on top, he summoned alternate versions of his three lieutenants that were most notable besides themselves, from all across metatime and metaspace. At that metamoment, an alternate Kotoblade appeared, and stood alongside The Djinn as he ignited himself with Koto flames. Then, Dark Oblivious appeared, standing alongside Oblivious. A swarm of human-sized creatures similar to hazard servitors, but more vibrantly colored, also appeared, and stood around and behind Venrensorys. Hyperman and the Supergods, with their extended Omniscience, recognized all of these entities as well as their backgrounds. The alternate Kotoblade was a “prime” version of the entity, existing as the core version of the archetype and conversely originating from a “core” Transcendentem. He had successfully escaped his kalyubi dimension and infiltrated the Supergod Council, nearly successfully destroying them from within. Dark Oblivious was a far more dangerous and powerful version of the normal Oblivious, responsible for the conquest of one beyond bubble and the attempted conquest of another, before being semi-erased by The Tree. The swarm of entities seemed to be a more experienced and calculated Venrensorys, or fractured remnants of him. They were responsible for an “incursion” with the External hazard upon their native Barrel and more.
A second gateway opened, and from it Gabriel flew out, leading the entirety of Task Force Iris behind him as well as the God Council. Then, an infinite amount of more gateways opened behind The Gatekeeper. “You really think you were the only ones I recruited for this?” The Recruiter slyly said to Hyperman and the Supergods.“Face it: you are all alone!” Declared Pi, as he cackled maniacally. “Wrong – you aren’t alone.” Came the voice of The Recruiter suddenly. “Gatekeeper, now!” she signaled to him. Apex and the others turned to face The Gatekeeper, as a portal opened behind him. The Hexagon Lords and The Hunter walked out from it. “Need help?” Asked The Hunter, as she readied her Bow of The Hunt. An army of Odhinites and the Beasts of Burden could be seen behind them on the other side of the portal. The Hunter then paused, as she looked on at Realitus. “So you are the Emerald Elder. I’ll be honest, you are a lot more underwhelming than how the Tricksters described you.” she remarked. Upon this being said, all of the Supergods looked at Realitus with a glare. “Really? ‘Emerald Elder’?” said Unthil. Realitus gave a coy but nervous grin in response. “Well, I may have had something to do with that Green Flame getting into The Barrel…” he chuckled uneasily.
Suddenly, from the portals poured out warriors from all across Existence, from the infinite -verses and points in metatime and metaspace. Emissaries of the cosmos, protectors of life. Armies representing countless cosmic nations manifested themselves into the fray. The armies of The Architecture, all the Oblivious Entities, The Odhinites, The Collectors, The Guardians of Aleph, The Apeirocoalition, The Eternal Legion, The Great Cosmic Republic, The Eternal Imperium, The Mevalkagna, Angels, Devils, Archons, Djinni, Kotojinns, and many more. Whatever their past allegiances were, whether any had disagreed with each-other in the past, they all set it aside for the sake of preserving Existence. They had all come together, and they had come to help. That meant something very profound.
But there were still yet more. Alternate Hypermen, Creators, Destroyers, Qos also appeared. Not to mention the various Supergod Councils, SuperGod Councils, Super God Councils, and Councils of Super Gods that also appeared.
Ships from the various armies flew overhead. Then, a roar was heard in the distance, as a Thunder of Dragons were seen flying alongside the ships. Mu was at the head, with The Knight mounted on his back in a full suit of armor. All of the beings in the army were raised to the status of transcendent deities, ready to go toe-to-toe with Pi’s army. Then, The Gatekeeper turned to The Supergod Council. “I brought something for you, too.” he said, as he teleported a brand new, fully constructed and top-functioning model of Project Hellensoerensen onto the battlefield. The Supergods entered the mech, activating it as it stood tall above the army, directly across from Venrensorys.
Both armies had high stakes invested into this battle. Neither was going to give up without a fight, and they all had immense passion. Then, the armies…clashed. In that singular metamoment, the timelines, destinies and trajectories of both sides became inseparably intersected and intertwined, sending a ripple effect all through Existence at every level.Pi scowled as he saw the approaching army, while Hyperman grinned boldly. He rose back up proudly, as everyone at the head of his army entered their battle stances. Pi’s army began doing the same as well. Then, Hyperman pointed the Blade of Destiny forward, as he cried “CHAAAAARGE!” The army shouted their battle cries, as they charged towards the enemy army. Pi looked down at his own army to see they hadn’t yet moved. “What are you waiting for, you idiots?! Attack them!” he commanded. Pi’s army roared fiercely as they pounced and scampered towards the heroes’ army.
. . .To describe in full detail the events that followed would be an entire story unto itself, and therefore the condensed essence of the conflict shall thus be presented instead.
“Are you fucking kidding me?! All this buildup, and we don’t even get to see the full actual battle?!” Qorter exclaimed.
Teleportation won’t be an option. Pi placed anti-teleportation measures on the megastructure. You must metaphysically force your way in. The Gatekeeper psychically told them. Hellensoerensen then looked on to see Dark Oblivious, Kotoblade, and the swarm of Venrensorys fragments standing in the way. “We’ll have to get through them first.” Conceptilum said from within Hellensoerensen.. . . The Apeirocoalition began by blasting several of the leading Hazard Servitors from above with their metamesonium bomber ships. This created an opening for Mu and several other Dragons to nosedive down towards the army, shooting their Dragon Flames at them. The Knight held his sword outwards as Mu dove down, and decapitated many of the foot soldiers before they swooped back upwards. “Oh, I missed this!” The Knight exclaimed. The Hunter was mounted on Theta, who poured Green Flames over swathes of enemies as The Hunter shot at flying servitors with her arrows, remotely commanding The Beasts of Burden to hunt down and kill the enemies. Fi landed with a heavy thud, enveloping one of the Hazard servitors in his Golden Flame. This caused all of the other servitors within its vicinity to turn on it and viciously attack it, as well as each-other, tearing themselves apart over the apparent value cast over the being’s aura. Fi chuckled with satisfaction at this, when suddenly another enemy appeared and blasted Phire at him. Fi was enraged by this action, taking it deeply personal. “You DARE insult me so?!” he boomed, a divine rage in his voice. He intentionally covered himself in Naughter, and then spread his wings outward as he set off a powerful explosion, which violently killed the being that targeted him as well as many other beings close by. He roared as he blasted Golden Flames in a wave at all the oncoming entities. “Yes! Fear my golden shower!” Rho hocked up metaslime onto large swathes of the army. “Aha! I feel young again!” he declared, as he viciously attacked and consumed his enemies. Chi was relatively nearby, attempting to calmly and peacefully navigate the battle. “I am logical fluid, I move with the flow of metatime…” he kept repeating to himself, until he eventually lost his patience and snapped, his eyes glowing with fury. “FORGET THIS! YOU ALL DIE!” he roared, weaponizing his Chi Flame and incinerating his enemies with it. Down below on the logical ground, Ultraman fought against Destroyer. “You betrayed me!” he cried out in rage, his spider legs jutting out towards his enemy. “False.” Replied Destroyer. “I disposed of you. You proved to me that you were not a worthy champion.” Ultraman chuckled. “You forget, we are now on even ground. Now watch, as I prove you wrong and make you regret your actions!” he declared, as he began viciously attacking Destroyer. Ultraman drove stingers into Destroyer with his spider legs, as he attempted to paralyze him and wrap him within a cocoon of demon thread as his dinner. Destroyer swatted at Ultraman like a human trying to swat at a spider, but Ultraman was fast enough to outmaneuver him every metatime. Then, just as it seemed like Ultraman was about to gain an advantage, he was crushed by some other force. Destroyer looked to see a feminine version of himself standing there. Beside her were the remains of Ultraman, twitching just as a crushed bug would. “Your welcome.” the female destroyer nonchalantly replied, before going off to battle other enemies. She seemed quite amused and excited to be able to freely “destroy” all the enemies in her path. Hyperman was viciously cutting a path through many of the servitors, when he suddenly encountered his father. “It is metatime you pay your dues, Julius.” The Seventh said, as he blasted red energy at Hyperman. “I know you aren’t like this!” said Hyperman, as he tried to talk sense into him. “You are a good being at your heart.” The Seventh again attacked Hyperman. “No, not this metatime. I’m playing for keeps!” he declared. “If you won’t listen to him, listen to us.” Five said, as she and the rest of the Hexagon Lords approached him. The Seventh glared, as he entered his battle stance. “You!” he said, a grin suddenly crossing his face as he looked at the Hexagon Lords. “I bet none of you knew this, but it is her fault that I am the way I am!” He declared. “She erased all my merciful traits, at my request!” The Hexagon Lords were shocked, as they looked at Five. Five looked down in shame. However, the Seventh was not yet finished with airing out the dirty laundry, as he looked at One and Four. “And they knew of the possibility of my downfall, yet never shared it with anyone else!” Now, the Hexagon Lords were completely divided. They all thought they had known each-other, yet it seemed there were more secrets between them than what was to be initially believed. The Seventh took advantage of their shock by attacking them, creating a folded stringshard blade to viciously hack at them with. The Seventh blocked it with his Blade of Destiny however, and began parrying The Seventh. Five managed to tackle and restrain The Seventh, as she placed her hand on his face. The effects of the Yellow Flame were removed, and the merciful qualities she had once erased were now restored. “I am sorry. I should have never done that to you in the first place” Five solemnly said. Then, Hyperman followed up by showing The Seventh the memories of what had transpired after the two had originally met. The Seventh gasped from this revelation, as he looked on at Hyperman and the Hexagon Lords. “I…” he began, as he looked on at the war being waged all around him. As a Haard servitor approached and attempted to attack them, The Seventh destroyed it. He then turned to Hyperman, taking his hand. “I’m in.” He said. Hyperman nodded, as he and The Seventh and The Hexagon Lords split up to continue fighting the enemies. Hellensoerensen looked up at Pi, who still sat atop the asteroid. It attempted to blast him, but upon doing so Pi dissipated. Figures, it was just another projection! The Interpreter psychically told them. Hyperman leapt onto Hellensoerensen, climbing up the mech until he summited its shoulder. “We need to reach Pi’s lair.” He declared, pointing the Blade of Destiny at the megastructure in the distance.
The oncoming swarms of the Venrensorys fragments seemed endless, but eventually Hyperman successfully executed the last remaining one. The final remaining opponent was Dark Oblivious, who was continuing to wrestle Hellensoerensen. Dark Oblivious almost gained the upperhand, nearly knocking down Hellensoerensen. However, Hyperman prevented it by leaping off the mech, and driving The Blade of Destiny into Dark Oblivious. He slashed the Blade of Destiny down Dark Oblivious’ entire form as he plummeted down, splitting them clean in half. Dark Oblivious’ halves collapsed, lifeless. With the opponents out of their way, Hellensoerensen began advancing towards the megastructure.Meanwhile, Oblivious, The Djinn and Venrensorys were fighting an alternate Hyperman and Supergod Council down below. “They’re occupied, so let's focus on these guys!” Hyperman told Hellensoerensen. Hellensoerensen threw a hook at Dark Oblivious, knocking them back. Several of the small hazard entities in turn jumped onto Hellensoerensen. Hyperman ran across the mech, fighting and slicing these entities away with the Blade of Destiny. He found that their metaphysical fighting styles partially mimicked his own. Dark Oblivious rose back up, and began to wrestle with Hellensoerensen. Meanwhile, Kotoblade jumped onto the mech, standing across from Hyperman. He possessed several of the Venrensorys fragments, setting them upon Hyperman. Hyperman battled the Koto-controlled entities, but started to find himself overwhelmed as more and more began coming after him. So, he decided to instead target Kotoblade himself. Kotoblade formed a sword out of koto which clashed against the Blade of Destiny. The two fought, slowly making their way to the edge of Hellensoerensen’s shoulder. Hyperman and Kotoblade struggled at the edge, both trying to shove the other person off of it. Kotoblade kicked Hyperman down, and was about to knock him off of Hellensoerensen. However, a cannon popped out of Hellensoerensen’s shoulder and blasted Kotoblade. Kotoblade was launched away, screaming as he plummeted down into the chaotic horde below.
