Chapter 35 - 35.) Provocations of the Mysterious Mercenary??

"Heh... Meh live long time, well over four-hundred trillion years before eva settling down in da nyest. Y'know, box a goddess dyown and spread da seed between da legs dat hold ha knees. Only FOE~billion of dose years were spent with a goddess I practically grew up with. She was named Florus-Fable Dismantlaarhg, a princyess~ah from da clan I currently rule ova. I was a real bad gohd, y'know? A miscreant who used to always gyet off on beating the silly out of anyone who stood in meh way. That was around the tyime I first made my reunion with this bad gyal gohddess. Now to remind you, I was one who believed in equal lefts and rights for Gohddess and Gohd alike, yeah? Let's just say you don't usually go dat route with a deity that cyan BUSS ya shiet, eh!?"

"Hehe, even den, that gyal changed me from da bad gohd I once was, into a new line of life and da way to living it. By dis tyime, I was already deeply in love, y'know. So comfortable with the gyal gohddess that I even tell her of all ventures dis bad gohd had been on. Traveling to different verses and making meh presence known. I even let her 'ear da tales of the tyimes I took on STRIFE membas in combat. A bunch of rastafarian, vibin' Deities if dis bad gohd had ever seen dem! Meh loving gyal gohddess always loved ta 'ear em. Our relations sparked love of all kinds, mahn. Even da kin' dat brings about life itself. So be it the true nature of our love, mahn. It allowed me to meet my wonderful children, the first being Timone himself. My wonderful, wonderful... Just wonderful-

"T-Ti-mah... Timah-T-Ti... moooone." King Timitus reached out to his son as his life began to fade.

"F-Father! Don't speak... D-Don't speak. Please save your breath and let us heal you!" Timone grabbed his father's hand and held it close. Crying into it as we all gather to try and save his life. Shiitania sent a signal to the others, using her link to Clarissa as a way to get them here, via Teleportation.

"Good to have you all here. We need all hands on deck to heal Timone's father! On the double!" Everyone jumped into high gear at the command of Shiitania.

"Once we get the King to good health we'll-

"With the amount of time it takes for you all to break my essence, it'll already be too late."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!" Timone shouted as he lifted his father's head. His vitals were fading and Timone was getting desperate!

"You heard me, indecent fool. Your father won't survive long enough for you to remove my essence. Especially when you consider in not about to take the chance and allow you all to do as you please." He lifted his right arm up and created a suspiciously normal ball of essence.

"Tch, as if we'd allow it! My father will be healed and better than ever, you piece of space rotting SHIIIIIIT!!!" Timone shouted as he transformed into his Infinity form. Everyone followed suit as some dashed off to prevent any interference.

"T-Timooone... Go a-and s-sa-saaav- GYACK!!!" Lord Timitus took a deep and very exaggerated breath.

"Don't speak father, please!!" Timone pleaded with his father whilst pouring every bit of essence into him. He wanted to override the foreign essence within Lord Timitus as much as he possibly could. Sinnthia and Timozzia were the only ones allowed to pour just as much.

"N-No you fools... S-Save your-

"Save his what? You know as well as I do that the only ones surviving today may very well be these young Deities and your family you managed to allow to escape. Though your- HM!?" The visitor looked over to his left to notice...

"Hmph, a clown show us all you'll get to put in whilst they heal Lord Timitus!" Zeramera stated as she slashed at the visitor. She completely sliced off his left hand in the process of him dodging.

"What the- ah... I seeee. Unlike the residents of this verse who can merely annihilate things so fast, you usually wouldn't get a chance to change the results. This Goddess and her seven friends are capable of Causality and Fate manipulation. On top of so much more, this should be good!" The visitor thought to himself.

He gained some space between him and Zeramera, regenerating his hand rapidly. Odin and Yosiah flanked his sides, firing off countless rays, beams, and blasts to push him way. But for some odd reason, all of the attacks were being extinguished without him moving a single muscle. Shiitania noticed this and paired her essence with Clarissa's whilst they assist in healing Lord Timitus. Both of their essence combined was then used to enact a large scale Mental Zenchi technique. One that would allow us to figure out exactly what's being used to cancel everyone's attacks.

"Cheh, he's being a petty bitch and using Zeramera's strategy against you. Causality, Fate, the concept of Pinpoint, and even Break are all being used. Though ALL of those concepts seem... Off!" Shiitania shouted.

"Aaaaah, another impressive little tike, eh? Hehe... The daughters of Xenophia, Gaia, and Shiishiigami, huh? I wonder if-

"You'll wonder no such thing!" Ri-ohhanna yelled ferociously whilst swinging one of her sickles at his head. He dodged the attack as it severed the cosmic layers of the Gigatoverse Dismantlaarhg is located in. She nearly cleaved it in half trying to slay the visitor.

"Quite dangerous of you to use such an attack, Princess Ri-ohhanna!" The visitor leapt back even further before pointing at Ri-ohhanna with his left hand.

He flipped his hand over and taunted her by luring her in with his "bring it on" gesture using his index finger. Ri-ohhanna and Melumini'itii were now paired again, helping the five honorary members we've temporarily recruited. They both laughed at the gesture made by the visitor. That was until they found themselves directly next to him without even noticing the process. He rapidly decreased the space between he and them both. Making sure to smack them in their faces before they could process what occured. The others swarm his person as he uses the concepts of Swapping, Manipulation, and Punching to keep everyone at bay and even send attacks our way as we continue to try and heal Lord Timitus.

"You're all quite impressive for beings with less than two centuries lived. Though the ones I'm truly wary about are those troublesome eight that exceed even you twenty-four freaks of nature. Those eight with more than fifty-thousand years of life under their belt. Three of which are completely changing the tides if this... situation." He calmly looked down at Shiitania, Clarissa, and Xenoshaa in disgust.

"Where are you lookinnnnnng!!" Heemy shouted as his pole arts weapon was about to wrap around and grab the Mysterious Mercenary!

"Gravity's Aura." The visitor blitzed towards the healers helping Lord Timitus as his life continues to slowly fade away.

"Where did he- GUH!?" Heemy, as well as the other fighters defending us. They were all forced into crouching positions by the imiginary force smashing into their bodies. They were all left immobile for more than long enough for the visitor to make his way towards us.

"I'll make sure you three don't help them succeed!" The visitor looked irritated as he prepared one of his infamous Punch techniques.

"I won't allow anymore from you!!!" ZeeNastasia shouted as she jumped in the way of his attack. Throwing her own mighty attack his way.

"Erasallizz's Punch!" She shouted just before blitzing forward to match his momentum, velocity, acceleration, and even the power and force of his attack.

"Tch, a false one won't cut it this time!" He quickly thought to himself.

"@#*&2©5∆'s Punch!" He shouted as he matched her pace.

"Tch, that bastard is still hiding his name from us, speaking in unknown language just to follow us!!" YeeRashuri shouted as she used her Guilded Thingchi as she called it. She used it to protect us healers from the force of their might collision. The blast radius for the force of their attacks effected our Colossaverse and two to both sides of our own. Five in total were being bombarded by unknown forces that even caught the attention of the Grand Council. They were already investigating our Colossaverse after the reports of a powerful Visitor from Beyond coming into our Omniverse without permission. It was a sight I every would've imagined seeing like this. My elder sister and cousin were protecting us all using their strength from their first lives. Strength that could actually fight against the current strength of the visitor.

"Mhrrm!! You dare to use the powers from our realm within that unsightly deity body of yours?" The visitor asked as he poured more essence into the attack.

"Mhm... Erasallizz's Offensive Thingchi!" ZeeNastasia shouted as she threw another punch whilst hiding in place with their previous clash.

"Tch! Offensive Thingchi." The visitor said calmly.

Their fists met head on once more, clashing and creating another wave of essence that cancelled out the first one. Calming the storm they once created that completely held five Colossaverses at their mercy. The visitor pushed ZeeNastasia back a bit and prepared another powerful attack. But ZeeNastasia stopped all of that bull with a wild flurry of punches. Each one was at he level of her Erasalizz Punch technique. The visitor was finally on the defensive end of things. Trying his best to keep her punches away from him. Eventually, he opened up her guard and stopped her fists.

"Hmph, now it's time to- KAH!!" His head was rocked backwards as it was met with a fantastic straight right.

That right held him in place just long enough for a follow up strike. By the time he brought his head down and locked eyes with my older sister. She had already made his senses go dull with a nullifying uppercut to the chin. It was her attempt to save Timitus from the visitor's curse!

"You stupid little- erhm!! Tch, enough of this... You're not my current goal!" The visitor thought to himself as he absorbed the impact and leapt backwards on purpose. Everyone assumed my sister was successful in her attempts, but it was to no avail. Instead, he perked up and glared at us all before pointing at Lord Timitus.

"I've grown tired of you fools! So allow me to complete my mission here!" He snapped his fingers as everyone rushed towards him. We could all sense his essence within Timitus grow to a point that made death more than certain.

"FATHEEER-HER-HERRRR!!!" Timone shouted as tears ran down his face. Sinnthia, Shiitania, Timozzia, Clarissa, Xenoshaa, and the rest of us desperately poured our essence into Timitus. But all we accomplished was slowing the process down. As we continued our futile battle with the visitor's essence. He made yet another devastating move!

"Heh, I'm quite surprised you all could keep him alive like that! Good, he can spend his last moments watching the home he's protected for countless eons before this clan was ever made. Hehe... Distant Punch!!" The visitor stated as he snapped his fingers once more.

"Tch! No... My HOOOOMMME!!" Timone shouted as the clan turned into a light so bright, it was even capable of blinding the likes of we powerful protectors of the verse.

"N-No mahn... My p-pr-presh... My precious Dismantlaaaaarg!!!!" Timitus shouted as he reached out towards his beloved clan.

We all watched as the clan was completely destroyed, though about forty shining stars came along. They were the last survivors of the clan besides Timone and the family that was sent off right as the invasion began. We were all in disbelief, for it was the first time we've seen such a large civilization fall so quickly. A truly disgusting sight, especially when Timone and Lord Timitus sat there crying as the home they've protected for countless years fell so easily! I was furious and so were the others!

"I may be shedding tears, but they are not for our destroyed home. These are- GAH. These are... tears if joy. So please Timone, rejoice... For I... have a-accomplished my... goaaaaal." Lord Timitus's faded away as we felt the final droppings of his lifeforce disappear from this plain of existence. His soul was already peering into the other side, and into the eyes of his chosen guide. His old friend and rival, Shiishiigami Senkozen.

"Father? FATHER!? Come on father, wake up! Please WAKE UP!!! Nrhh... Tch. F-Father... Please... Please DON'T LEAVE UUUUUSSS!!!!" Timone screamed and hollered as he held the body of his lifeless father.

"Dammit! I was only able to save so many. But the King and Queen were my main targets above all else. In the end, I could only save the queen who kept the lives of so many others from being taken." YeeRashuri explained.

"Even more surprising than her saving so many is-

"KAAAAAAH~HAHAhahahahahaaaaa!!! I'm not done with you all as of yet. There's more I want to learn and others who oose a threat to our goals for later down the line. Mourn you losses and prepare yourselves for this war! I shall come for you once again... VERY soooonn!" The visitor vanished after interrupting Clarissa with his ominous warning.

"Tch, he's got another thing coming if he thinks we'll continue to allow him to do as he likes!" Clarissa shouted.

"But, for now. We need to bury the deceased and mourn as he said. But more importantly... We should locate the trillions of Deities the King and Queen saved with their pocket dimension." Clarissa further explained.

"What!? My parents managed to... Managed to S-Save th-that many!?" Timone asked as his eyes now had more hope. Now he could see why his father was never sad or wavering of will in the very end. We wiped our tears and headed towards a hole in space where we think the may civilians that were saved are now located.

Upon our completion of these tasks and holding a massive funeral service. We went back to our individual homes to report everything to the leaders of the Annihilation Verse. Which would help change the course of everything that would later occur within the next year's time. A period at which every clan was attacked at least once. Many lives were lost, many were saved, many fought and met with the visitor face to face, and many chose to withdraw out of fear of the visitor. And doubt of our capabilities to truly beat this threat.

We were constantly insulted by many, including the damn visitor himself. He spent that year using guerilla tactics, laughing at us as we continue to fail repeatedly. An entire year of provocations that made training impossible for us all. But that wouldn't deter us as we make our way towards a reported spot where the visitor had been spotted a half hour ago.

We were going to make a shift to the tides if this war... One way or a-fucking-nother!!!
