Chapter 33: When The Abyss Opens Its Eyes

Six hours before the royal capital would fall into utter chaos. Six hours for preparation. Six hours for escaping. Six hours to board up your windows and doors and hide yourself within the secret panic room if you had one. Six hours to pray that some god out there would help you. Up until this point the Magic Kingdom of Zenovia had everything planned out for if an invasion would occur, for any and every race that would try to breach their borders however the threat of the undead who shrugged off their defenses became a reality as their walls came crumbling away, soldiers slaughtered, villages and cities burned. The Magic Kingdom that stood for over a thousand years was going to fall, no one wanted to admit that the first invasion in the history of their country was going to be the one that would go down in the history books as the one that destroyed them. 

Those who would escape would carry on the tales of this nation, they would show off its technology and lament its fall. Should those brave enough ever think to come to this fallen kingdom they would try to recover what was lost within this nation. No one wanted to admit that this was how it was going to end and yet that was the feeling and emotion etched itself into their hearts, the adventurers long escaped after shuffling their funds to other branches of the Adventurer’s Guild. The lucky civilians in their thousands chose to follow them whilst those who took pride in their city and its history chose to stay. After the evacuation of the royal capital only knights, nobles and those unfortunate enough to be left behind remained. A somber presence loomed over the royal capital, it showed its hand on the faces of those who would watch the marching armies of the dead. The soldiers and knights stationed at the towers would see almost endless numbers of the monsters that stood at their doors.

Death had come to the door and there was nothing they could do about it, the four sisters stationed at the gates would try to help them out as a last effort for their promise to this nation. They had a sliver of hope that they could defend their home if they did not, only despair awaited them.

“They look so scared”

“I mean their royal capital is about to be destroyed by a monster horde, I would be scared too”

“True”

“When’s the signal going to come?”

“It should be soon”

“Soon is not near enough”

The five sisters communicated with devices that Yukiyo had created, they were in the shape and form of regular ear rings. It wasn’t a surprise that she was the one who made these and it made communication even better.

“This is going to be one hell of a surprise party”

Seratta gave a vicious smile as she watched the eyes staring at her with hope, she tapped her sword on her shoulder as Clyne twirled her cane in excitement.

“I can’t wait to see the look on their faces”

“Despair is best served with many. You can quote me on that”

Hortus sharpened her daggers in full preparation for that moment whilst Rosa and Euphobia stood with their arms crossed.

“A lesson in team work my dear sisters we are going to crush the gates all at the same time. Clyne please activate the mass teleportation magic for us when the signal is up in the sky”

“Sure thing ~ ☆”

“Ah there it is”

The soldiers and knights all shouted out in surprise as the signal was fired into the air it exploded into a myriad of colors followed by a great crash that shook them to nearly falling down. At that moment their faces were dyed in pure despair as they stood in front of shattered gates in place of their five protectors were monsters, the creatures were just a short distance away from them. Their preparations had gone to the wind as they collectively understood that they’ve been betrayed, with overwhelming them a unified roar enveloped them as the army of the dead stormed through their broken gates. Blood and bone were sent flying as the inevitable clash between the two armies, one thing was becoming common within this battle for survival was the screaming of the soldiers and knights as they faced their worst fears head on.

Seratta slid past the monsters and slammed the bodies of the knights who were about to use magic on their army, she stepped on their bodies and brought out a circular swing that cut those caught in its wake, she laughed as she was covered in their blood and guts. She leapt into the air and rained bullets on the archers who were on the rooftops aiding the skeletons that were being helplessly fired at by them. Landing on the roof Seratta runs on it to reach the barracks so there would be no reinforcements having short bursts of speed using the flight that the power armor was granted with. That was the first goal, the second was to meet up with Clyne who was heading towards the magic guild. She spotted the barracks and flew over them in one huge leap landing dead center with all of the knights staring at her in shock, they were in the midst of heading towards the gates as reinforcements.

“HELLO! IT’S A NICE DAY TO TASTE YOUR OWN BLOOD ISN’T IT?”

Seratta launched her attack on them as she swung her sword down on their helpless bodies, the blood dancing in the air was the first sign to wake up to this mindless slaughter. They ran towards her with fury in their voices but they were not loud enough to overwhelm Seratta’s mad laughter, she stabbed the ground and sent them flying by flipping the earth. This was right before she sprayed bullets through their bodies, now they were akin to canned food letting out their contents. Those adept at magic fired consecutively at her but she dodged those and began to run on the walls despite the weight of her armor. This was a rather confusing turn of events as Seratta jumped right after a fireball was shot at her from a distance, she then landed next to a knight breaking his arm and shoving it into his face before she takes his sword and throwing it to the panicking magic knights who now have gaping holes in their heads, and chests. She sprints whilst grabbing all of the magic swords using the telekinesis function in the power armor overloading them with mana for them to explode as she throws them all over the barracks leaving it in ruins as it burns down. Seratta claps her hands to a job well done.

“Now then time to meet up with Clyne”

🍀

To Clyne and more likely to Severn the existence of the Magic Kingdom of Zenovia was an eyesore, it thrived on oppression much like the Xagreas Kingdom and if not for the invasion they could have tried to take the Kingdom from the dwarves with enough preparations. It was a good thing that they invaded it before that time, Clyne had managed to record all of their technological advancements. She met up with the top dogs of the magicraft, alchemical, sorcery, and magitek guilds. Absorbed most of the knowledge they had, and proceeded to ransack all of their documented advancements during the night. This of course caused a stir since this would mean everything they had achieved as a nation up until this point would not even be remembered which was a part of Clyne and Severn’s goal. Clyne was just cleaning up and destroying what they claimed to be a part of their legacy, their history, culture and what not.

“I did not enjoy hearing hours on end about how elves are lower than humans and should be used as tools. I do admit there are some good authors who write some pretty good stuff in here”

Clyne sat surrounded by a collection of books as the grand library was immersed in flames. She nodded as she turned another page before closing it and storing it away in her item box, she got up and started walking to the exit of the library. A magic arrow flew past her as she left the building, several mages remained to recover even more knowledge from this place. Some of them were even faces she recognized but she paid no heed to them, they were about to say something but Clyne didn’t give them that luxury as she fired an ice arrow into the face of one of them. She teleported close range to stab into the eyes of another mage with a stiletto which set him up into flames, if the two deaths of the people who were right next to them wasn’t an indicator then it was made very clear that Clyne was not kidding around. They all leapt backwards with great force to distance themselves from Clyne who was supposed to be a mage like them.

Clyne took the weakness of a mage and used it to her advantage, she was not going to wait for someone to use it against her hence she taught herself close quarters combat and how to use a knife and where to stab it into. They all began to chant at the same time but with that time Clyne dashed towards them with even more stilettos in her hands, she had already enchanted them so they could fire immediately instead of taking time like what these idiots were doing. Throwing one which explodes into the earth wall that first mage makes causing the debris swipe their head clean from their shoulders, Clyne throws another to the ground causing roots to smash into the ice wall of the next mage.

“FOOL! YOU CANNOT BRE-?!”

The purpose was to not break the ice wall, it was to contain them as Clyne threw a poison bomb inside closing it up with a metal sheet she creates on the spot. The following two mages had finished their incantations and fired their respective magic preferably fire and water magic at her but she sighed as these were very simple to counteract. First she threw a card that had lightning within it creating a reaction that would fry its caster into soot, the second was to use ice magic that would turn the caster into a statue. She shattered the statue easily, and now the sky was covered by magic guild members who now knew the true but Clyne smiled instead.

“Took you long enough Seratta”

Seratta took nearly half of them down by shooting them down and landing on some of them as she flew close to Clyne.

“What else can I say?It was fun murdering knights”

“Let’s get this over and done with, Rosa and Euphobia are waiting”

“True.”

“You guys are forgetting about me again aren’t you?”

Hortus appeared as easily she cut through the mages with her gloved claws, she had lead some of the soldiers to this place. Now the number of enemies had double than initially when Clyne was just alone.

“Well then isn’t this a great party?”

“It sure is”

“Now then”

“Let’s”

“Begin”

They all said one after each other, a barrage of well timed fire balls were sent flying to them but Seratta went in front of them and swung her massive sword hitting them back to their casters. She grabs Hortus by the arm and throws her to launch her into the air, who proceeds to tear all of them into shreds before they could do anything worthwhile. Clyne dives into the soldiers who are surprised by this development, she stabs into the gaps in their armor twisting her stilettos with a smirk on her face as Seratta severs flesh from bone using her sword that causes the ground to crack. With an open arm she catches Hortus who is launched forwards using Odin’s technique as a basis for her attack, she slices it and dices everyone in her path. Clyne throws another card that freezes the incoming knights giving Seratta the chance to smash them into pieces as she throws a stiletto at Hortus who catches it and stabs it into the chest of another unfortunate soldier whom she kicks into another group of soldiers who were arriving as reinforcements exploding upon making contact. Even to the unexperienced eye they could tell there was a synergy between these sisters that could conquer whatever power they had left which made them terrified but that didn’t stop the sisters from murdering them all.

“FUCK!”

Another sword stabbed into the chest of noble as Rosa speed across the safety area with ease, she stabbed the faces of the ones who were caught in her wake. Euphobia was rapidly reaping lives with her scythe in her own armor. A magic staff capable of shooting large bullets of the elements was brought out to protect the nobility of this nation but Rosa leapt in front of Euphobia and punched them back to their owners.

“Thank you Rosa!”

“You’re welcome”

Euphobia stabbed the throat of another guard before using his body as a ramp to leap up into the air and throw her scythe which became a twin blade that spun across the room. Euphobia landed on it and produced two more swords in her hands cutting those who were left alive by them. She jumps off and throws the two swords at Rosa who catches them in time to then use two more nobles stab in the gut. The swinging of the twin blades was far much more deadly than thought to be as they cut of the limbs of those who tried to block them, with Rosa in the background her swords turning everyone into minced meat. They knew the location of the noble’s hideout and specifically came here burning their mansions with smiles on their faces. This served to create even more despair in their hearts.

“This was a great idea, what do you think Yukiyo is doing?Isn’t Shen supposed to be attacking the royal palace right now?”

“Yes she is but the delay is making me worried”

They were all cleaning up the survivors who would escape this and now were waiting for Yukiyo to act, and then they felt it. The one who they thought could not be defeated was defeated and they felt their hearts drop as the Dark Matter did not respond for a while.

☆

The first line of action was to dodge the quick slash that was created by the great sword Neo Yukiyo had created, the impact sent shockwaves that shook the sturdy facility. Her eyes were mainly focused on her movements, if she could attune her eyes to them then she could counterattack with whatever power she had left. Next up was a well placed stab into the ground that created spikes all over then crushing them as she zoomed in with a spear forming in her hand, evading this as well Yukiyo almost got caught in its attack.

“Fuck”

She silently cursed as Neo Yukiyo slowly walked to her with a face that had no expression, she had to roll out of the way from 3 consecutive ray like attacks that were in her arsenal. They began vertically and now they were horizontal making her leap into the air where suddenly swords were made from thin air, seeing this she had to hastily make a sword that would block all of them. Yukiyo succeeded but with the strength that was behind them she was sent flying to the ground, crashing into it being very careful to not get stabbed by the swords that came after. Sliding on the hard floor halting by applying pressure to her feet, carrying around a broken sword in her left hand which she throws away as soon as a spear is sent flying in her direction. That thing was far too fast for her to dodge and would certainly be the end of her.

⌈Dark Matter Universe Level Increased By 6!⌋

⌈Lucky Discord’s Gun Theatre Level Increased By 6⌋

⌈Dark Matter Manipulation Level Increased  By 6⌋

Yukiyo smiled as the Dark Matter that believed in her sensed danger and helped out by increasing the level of that skill, the first counterattack in ages came as she summoned them as a shield to block the incoming spear that would impale her. Managing to stop it in time, Yukiyo didn’t have a moment’s rest as Neo Yukiyo appeared right before the shield and kicking it in so it could do its job. Leaping backwards to stop this Yukiyo summoned Lucky Discord’s gun and began to shoot at her as she zoomed directly for her, the bullets did impede her movement for a short while but that was all for the attack she would do once Neo Yukiyo came close. Entering her field of vision she jumped above her and shot a bullet that opened a rift portal that would lead to the Dark Matter Universe for a short while. 

“This is some actual bullshit”

Neo Yukiyo opened a portal within a portal and avoided the gunfire that was inside of it, Yukiyo notices the space around her distort and closes them before they open up. She had avoided becoming a sword pincushion, maybe she got tired of her attacks being dodged and countered Neo Yukiyo clapped her hands together slowing opening them again as something strong was being unleashed between them. Neo Yukiyo threw that something at the center of the room, it was a miniature black hole which caused Yukiyo to sprint for her life. She might be slow but with enough running she could outrun this bullshit, she didn’t even know she had the ability to even create a black hole like that. Was this the boss level skill mastery that she had been ignoring? She didn’t know but to make matters even worse was that fake bitch who called herself Neo Yukiyo summoned swords to stab her whilst she was running.

The power of the black hole ran out causing Yukiyo to be the happiest dark elf slime in the world but more was to come as Neo Yukiyo teleported to the center of the room and pointed her sword to the roof causing tens of thousands of swords to float in the air, they were well positioned enough to avoid hitting the Neo elves.

“Oh fuck”

“Die”

This was the first word Neo Yukiyo spoke to her, it seemed she had gained sentience and was using the best of her skill to murder Yukiyo. The Dark Matter pulled Yukiyo into their universe for a hot second narrowly steering well away of the impalement, Neo Yukiyo begins to search for Yukiyo who had escaped her attack.

“Where are you?You cannot hide forever. I will kill you and take your place as the best version of you”

“I am not hiding!I AM JUST PREPARING A BIG PRESENT FOR YOU!”

Yukiyo was thrown out of the dimension with a massive gun like canon with a black bodied red eye staring at Neo Yukiyo with a fierce smile that was written on her face. The Dark Matter aided her by providing her a weapon that they made to kill Neo Yukiyo, she fires it and it spits out a red beam that greatly pushes back Neo Yukiyo who’s HP is decreasing by the hundreds but it is still not enough as she shrugs it off and runs towards Yukiyo.

“You cannot produce more of those weapons”

“FUCKING WATCH ME!”

Yukiyo sprouts out more similar gun cannons that fire at Neo Yukiyo who is overwhelmed and sent flying, this fight was one sided and did not allow Yukiyo to even scratch her. But even she knew that this would last for a mere moment so she threw them away as soon as they were reflected right back at her, if she was caught by that attacks she could have become toasted slime core. Sighing at this predicament she reloaded the gun she had on her person, it was all she had. Why couldn’t she take the Dark Matter Universe and Lucky Discord’s Gun Theater away from her?Why were these the only skills that leveled up out of all of them. And then it hit her, she knew what she had to do. Yukiyo claps her hands as she puts away the revolver.

“I have to admit you’re one fine replica. I wish we could fight at equal footing.”

“Compliments will get you nowhere. Just lay down your life and let me handle everything, the world will be in safe hands with that human over there. Look he’s cooped up in a bubble that protects him from all of my attacks”

“Uh huh not something I would say for sure. This is my last chance to fucking win against something too strong even for me. It’s now or never.”

“I will make your death painless”

“If you can that is!”

Neo Yukiyo teleports towards Yukiyo and slashes at her but she merely swings at the Dark Matter standing in her place making mocking gestures at her as the real Yukiyo stands behind her and begins to shoot bullets made of the same stuff that the E.E.G (Evil Eye Gun) was firing at her earlier. She changed her fighting style to better accommodate her opponent, infuriated by this Neo Yukiyo summons a bunch of swords to instantly stab Yukiyo but that is revealed to be another Dark Matter. She is kicked in the face and sent flying being shot at by 10 similar revolvers near the end and sent back to Yukiyo who twirls her gun.

“C’mon that couldn’t be all it, Me?What are you doi-“

Yukiyo was stabbed by a sword at point blank with Neo Yukiyo smiling at this predicament however that turns into a frown as this Yukiyo shoots right to her head.

“…..you’re starting to piss me off”

“Well too bad, you’ll get used to it.”

Yukiyo was using the Dark Matter Universe and the other skill to make up for her lack of strength, she would whittle away at her strength bit by bit. A bit slow and tedious but it did the job. She dodged several attacks by warping in and out of that space shooting her from every angle thought possible.

“FUCKING STOP”

“No”

Neo Yukiyo shouted in anger as she sent a more than a hundred waves of energy that would certainly crumble a mountain but Yukiyo easily dodged this. She needed one more big stunt to throw her off and blast her using the E.E.G, right as she pops up to enact her plan Neo Yukiyo grabs her and slams her to the ground. Perhaps she was caught off guard and didn’t expect exactly where she was, it didn’t excuse the fact that she was going to be experiencing a loss right now. Yukiyo gets stabbed in the stomach which sends her flying towards the wall as Neo Yukiyo flings her at it. The pain reverberates throughout her entire body, she coughs out blood as Neo Yukiyo walks to her slowly.

“How……..”

“I predicted the movements of the Dark Matter with the aid of Evil God Mental Structure and Benkei, using that I decided to use myself as a punching bag to ensure I catch you”

“……haha….classical me”

Several swords are stabbed into Yukiyo, in her shoulders, thighs, and hands. She couldn’t move and was experiencing excruciating pain, Yukiyo couldn’t scream either as the swords were laced with black flames that would rapidly decrease her HP. She thought she could corner her like this but it seemed her very own skills were used against her, this was why she did not want Shen to be involved in this fight. Shen would become just as injured as her and might even die because of it. Struggling to the end she tried to rip herself out these swords but it was futile they were firmly struck in her flesh, she couldn’t turn into a slime either because of her stamina having ran out.

“This is the end. I’ll make sure everyone is granted painless deaths. They will meet you on the other side.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA REST WELL DARK ELVEN QUEEN!”

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Shen tore a hole between space itself using one of Yukiyo’s teleportation devices that used her as a point of reference. With the final sword Yukiyo is stabbed right through her core breaking it completely, one final look at Shen and a faint smile directed at her love and the light of her eyes went out as she lay dead on the wall. Her head goes limp as the last pieces of her strength start giving out, with only the twitching of her body remaining.

“YUKIYO YOU FUCKING IDIOT”

Shen weeps as she finds the one she calls her one true love dead, she was racking her mind on how to get back after witnessing the arrival of Neo Yukiyo and finally finds a way only to find a scene of tragedy. She cries over her body, weak and paralyzed by the sheer grief that overwhelms her. Neo Yukiyo and Philip ignore her as they head into their own little world.

“Now then let us make our exit, we should quell this invasion in an instant. Oh I can already feel the glory in my body, come we have much work to do”

Philip smiles as he gets out of his bubble with Neo Yukiyo walking to him so she can wake up the Neo Elves. A new age was upon them, a very dark age for everyone involved. The progress lost with the demihumans would be apocalyptic as this new ruler would be a tyrant that would rule the world and eventually its pantheon with an iron fist. That was the vision, that was the dream.

But then Yukiyo’s corpse moved. And what came after could be said to be a miracle.

👁‍🗨

A darkness encompassed her, it was suffocating her very soul. Yukiyo could feel that she died and she knew it, the only sensation she knew right at this moment was that she was falling infinitely into the void. This was the abyss and none could escape it, she regretted not being strong enough to defeat a measly clone of her self. She regretted not being able to save the world from its foolish gods and goddesses, she regretted not being able to say sorry to Shen for not accomplishing their goals together.  Yukiyo continued to fall, there was so much she wanted to do with everyone and now all of it was going to be ruined. She closed her eyes and accepted her fate, but it was right at that moment a light shined at the bottom of the abyss. Yukiyo opened her eyes to see it, at first she thought this was the other side of reincarnation. The Heaven side of it. But then she was dead wrong as she was rapidly approaching the light. Just as she thought she was hit the floor with a splat she was actually cushioned by it and felt glad.

The light was soothing, almost life giving to be honest. She approached it covering her eyes to make out what it was. It was just a small point and yet it had enough light to make the darkness run away, she limped towards it and picked it up. It was a seed of some kind, she didn’t know why it was here but it had a purpose and it suddenly hit her. This was the Yggdrassil Seed that Lythalia and Bast were talking about, it was deep within her soul meaning she wasn’t entirely dead. Which meant she could go back and stop whatever the fuck Philip had planned for the world, maybe this was the true purpose for the Elder Gods to craft a scenario. They wanted her to reach this by herself without doing it themselves, she was still going to punch whoever thought this was a good idea.

“I can still taste the blood within my mouth but that doesn’t matter if this thing was within me the whole time why the fuck didn’t it do anything?”

Yukiyo’s resolve was strong and decided to take the seed and swallow it down. At first she thought nothing of it however she grew to regret having done that, the seed of Yggdrasil started to give an unspeakable amount of pain. It was as if Yukiyo was being drowned in a sea of acid, her bones being ground to dust and her flesh torn to shreds.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

The light was enveloping her body but so was the darkness of the void, her body was assimilating the void. The Dark Matter felt her death and collectively worshipped her, their prayers sent a wave of power throughout Yukiyo’s body. The dark elf body that Yukiyo used as a base was reduced to nothing with nothing left but the raw energy that went through her slime body. The Dark Matter considered Yukiyo as their god, the one they had been waiting for aeons, ingesting the Yggdrasil seed had awoken it within her soul. Its influence had showed in her skills and attributes however it laid dormant within her soul. All of the darkness that surrounded Yukiyo was now her, in its infinity with the single point of glorious light Yukiyo finally knew and understood what Nyarlathotep, Hastur, Lythalia and Bast were talking about. Like the idiot god Azathoth she had been sleeping on it but unlike him Yukiyo’s eye opened breaking the reality of her death. The Tree of Yggdrasil was seeded within Yukiyo and now it grew into a wonder that it is known to be.

👁‍🗨

Just as they were about to leave the facility and head top side, the impossible happened as Yukiyo’s body started to shine with a rushing wind covering it. Shen stepped back in astonishment, Philip and Neo Yukiyo were both frozen in pure shock. The first sound they heard was the breaking of the swords followed by a loud scream that shook the earth. Something had changed about her, Yukiyo fucking became divine somehow Shen’s thoughts immediately spat out.

“Yukiyo………?”

Her body was covered in light as the wounds closed up as if they never existed to begin with, her clothes were replaced by black wings that formed a dress, a bright halo appeared above her head with six black wings behind her. A crown of horns coming from her temple adorned her head, her shining golden brown skin gave off a godly aura with her golden colored eyes swallowed by darkness. She was completely calm staring at the stunned Shen who was still crying, Yukiyo floated towards her and held her chin.

“Do not cry. I am here now. I should have never thought I would handle it on my own. I am sorry Shen. I’ll treat you to ice cream later.”

Yukiyo wipes Shen’s tears away and lightly kisses her lips smiling at her as she now faces Neo Yukiyo who is just as shocked to find the person she killed a few moments ago now alive again.

“What form of sorcery is this?”

“Status. Everything reset to 1 but it has the added bonus of being stronger than everyone else. I guess Level 1 for gods is very different from mortals. I have to thank you Me.”

“???”

“You’ve awoken the Seed of Yggdrasil within me and I have attained near godhood. Now then I am going to take back every attribute and skill you stole from me. Ah right before that I may need to remove them so we can have ample space to fight.”

Yukiyo waved her hand and all of the Neo Elves vanished from the positions which further landed a blow on Philip who now feared what this monstrosity had become. She was more than just an elf at this point, she had become a god who could easily eradicate this country on her own. With a warm smile on her face Yukiyo stared onwards to Neo Yukiyo.

“I accept you, with all of your flaws. In the end you are still me. So then are you going to show me that I didn’t get skills for nothing Me”

A slew of arrows aimed at Yukiyo was fired at her but she easily knocked these away at a rapid speed approaching Neo Yukiyo who throws a great sword at her. All it took was one finger to tip the sword and crash into the ground grabbing it and sending it back. A thunderclap was heard within the facility as it rushed past Neo Yukiyo who could barely dodge it, it cut her cheek as a result. With a serious gaze in her eyes she leaps at Yukiyo who remains calm and collected beckoning her to come in a mocking manner, it began with one sword, then followed by another until they reached their thousands with the clash between Yukiyo and Neo Yukiyo being for a brief moment. The first act was Yukiyo who easily pushed back the sword with a simple upward swing, the sounds of sword breaking was like nails on a chalk board. Neo Yukiyo continued to clash with her as each time they did she could feel that she was having the edge against her and then she heard it an all too familiar sound.

『 LEVEL UP!』

Yukiyo was gaining immense experience from this, she was becoming even stronger and her attributes were returning to her bit by bit. This sound was going to become even more common the more they fought, the mere action of fighting an opponent who is over leveled was giving her experience. An absurd idea that wouldn’t work even in an RPG setting, and yet here she was doing exactly that. Yukiyo jumps back and creates a bow and arrow made of jet blackness and shoots it, it spirals towards Neo Yukiyo who whacks it into the ground but feels the immense density of the arrow. Now even more pissed off than before she sprints with a great sword in her hand throwing it at Yukiyo who just allows it to stab her, it spreads into thorn like swords that coil around her and seal her in. The light is snuffed out with Neo Yukiyo smiling briefly for the first time but then all of it shatters into snowflakes with Yukiyo at the center. She seems so beautiful floating like that and even admires her to an extent but she had to cast aside her love for herself in order to win this. More than love she was angry that Yukiyo had improved even more, then that dreaded sound came again but numerous times.

『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』『 LEVEL UP!』

『 LEVEL UP!』

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!”

Both of the Yukiyo’s screamed at each other unleashing an unusual amount of mana to the extent that the facility was at risk of falling apart because of it. Neo Yukiyo was donned in armor with Yukiyo’s third eye opening up, they would fight at full power. Neo Yukiyo was not angry anymore, but joyous this was taking place she smiled incredibly as the original’s skills had parts of her soul inside them, hence why her emotions were starting to come out bit by bit and now they were flooding her with elation. The battle junkie that Yukiyo had always been was showing itself in Neo Yukiyo, she pointed her sword at Yukiyo with a fierce smile on her face.

“I will not only prove to you that I am superior but I will strip you of your godhood YUKIYO!”

“C’mon then, I would love to see you come close”

Neo Yukiyo teleported right in her face and clashed with her sword as light shined so brightly between their swords that Shen had to cover her eyes for a brief moment, they continued to clash opening rifts and closing all over to one up the other. Pushed back by Yukiyo Neo Yukiyo could hear even more level up sounds but she didn’t care at this point. She just wanted to fight and would use the beast of her ability to kill Yukiyo summoning a large serpent to eat her alive but that would be cut in clean half, without stopping she creates a dungeon right in the middle of all of that with a horde of monsters coming through living for one sole purpose: murder.

“W-What is going on?”

Philip was blown away and now found himself in the far corner of the room witnessing this with his eyes, what was the dark elven queen for her to create dungeons?Was she the demon king’s successor or something?Yukiyo proved to him that he wouldn’t be able to maintain having Neo Yukiyo as his slave forever, she would eventually gain sentience and rebel against him. The spilling of guts, sundering of bones and bodies as well as the severing of limbs was all that was happening right now. Monsters being poured into the room in the hundreds with Yukiyo being a perpetual murder machine that fed on blood, she summoned even more swords to get the job done. Of course this was a ploy from Neo Yukiyo create guns above her that would give her a firing squad’s death but this did not go as planned as Yukiyo created her own guns that fired back at her guns which broke to pieces. Instant death magic was thrown at Yukiyo but she made a bat and hit a home run to a far off monster that dies.

“HERE I COME!!”

“WELCOME!”

Hammer and sword clashed shattered the floor of the facility completely as it headed into further darkness but Philip was saved by Shen who did not want him to die an easy death, as everything that his ancestors was working for had been destroyed by his own creation. Now they took the battle into the castle floors above, they kept on hitting each other’s weapons until they reached the main hall. The knights who tried to stop them were all murdered within seconds as Neo Yukiyo ascended into the air with one hand thrust above her.

“BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE SUN!”

Using fire magic alone Neo Yukiyo was able to create a ball of fire so large and so hot that it was accurate to call it a sun, it was black in color just like her soul Neo Yukiyo throws it at Yukiyo who runs to counter it. She receives it with her sword and it pushed back as everything around them starts to melt away it takes her into the courtyard for all to see and is about to swallow her. Yukiyo reaches the gates and starts pushing it back, she moves one step forward then another and another and another. She begins to walk with the black sun in her hands steadily pushing it back as she starts to run with it.

“Impressive as always”

She pushes it back just enough for her to sending it flying back to Neo Yukiyo sundering it in half as she does so. With a gentle smile on her face Yukiyo aims her sword at her having a black point on its tip that fires at Neo Yukiyo who is devoured by it along with half of the castle. Even more of her original stats and skills return with Yukiyo winning this battle, what’s left of Neo Yukiyo is her core and half a body.

“……….that…..was a nice fight…..thank you”

“You’re welcome, Me”

“you…….may kill…..me now”

“I am not doing that”

“……..why”

“Because you’re me after all, you made me realize that I have still plenty of time to grow. Look at my status I’ve now got the Job Sekhmet and my Fledging titles are gone. Now they are Demi-Elder God and Demi-Destruction God”

“……..wait you did……not become a god?”

“Of course not that would be too OP, plus I need more levels before I do that”

Neo Yukiyo smiled as she finally understood why Shen gave up on her because she was straight up unreasonable as a person. She stared at her and wanted to apologize but Yukiyo did that for the both of them, her eyes go back to Yukiyo.

“…………allow me to……go back….”

“Alright”

Picking up Neo Yukiyo’s core holding her hand she begins to assimilate her. By doing this all of  her skills and original attributes return to her along with the bonus from her awakening as a demigod. But some parts of her core still remained and she had just the right idea of what she could do with them.

『You’ve now acquired the following titles: Demigod Of Chaos, Great Demon King Of Chaos!』

“Uwaaaaaaah more unpleasant titles have showed up, enough about that.”

Shen threw Philip at Yukiyo’s feet smiling with her arms folded.

“P-p-p-p-p-p-please Dark Elven Queen, we can work together. I will make su- Gehok”

Yukiyo stabbed him with sharp tentacles whose tendrils begun to spread across his entire body.

“No, I will not work with a scumbag like you. Not after making Shen cry. You will not get off easy, you will suffer a fate worse than death. Ever heard of hell?That’s what you are going to experience, with these abilities I can basically make one for little shits like you.”

Yukiyo was angry as hell and Shen was all in for it, as Philip screamed loudly as she messed around with his organs from the inside.

“I’ve got just the thing, I will stick a parasite within you that will transform your body into a writhing mess of tentacles. You will feel your bones break, muscles get torn apart over and over and over again, you will feel everything and to top it off you will birth more and more tentacles. A living seed bed for it, isn’t that great?”

Her golden eyes turned crimson upon saying that as she put in a parasite within his body that caused his body to start changing immediately. Leaving him be for a moment Yukiyo turned to Shen who immediately slapped her. She touched her cheek and stood there amazed that Shen could even damage her in this state.

“You know I apologized right?”

“Of course I fucking know, it doesn’t excuse you being reckless!”

“Yes Ma’am”

“Seiza!”

“Yes Ma’am”

Yukiyo sat in seiza and bowed her head down to Shen.

“I was fucking stricken with grief, my hopes and dreams shattered right in front of my eyes!Do you have any idea how I felt?!”

“I am sorry”

“Don’t speak unless I say so”

“……..”

“I wanted to have kids with you, travel other worlds do so much with you. Don’t just decide things on your own!”

“Hehe”

“What the fuck are you laughing for, this is not a funny matter Yukiyo! You died!”

“I made a kid”

“Wha-What?”

“I made a kid, using your mother’s method I made a kiddo”

“……………”

“Look she’s inside of this massive egg!”

“HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MANAGE TO HIDE THAT WAY!”

Yukiyo still in seiza showed off a big egg that could fit a fully grown person inside. Shen was flabbergasted, shocked even. She held her head and sighed before walking to her, Yukiyo closes her eyes expecting a castle shattering slap but instead she gets hugged.

“I am seriously like a worried mother right now. Please do not just do things on your own, I still want us to be very happy Yukiyo.”

“I’ll keep that in mind……..there’s still plenty I want to do too. I went up and killed the king by accident”

“You…….”

“Well that’s that the Magic Kingdom’s fallen, good thing we got the tech before destroying it”

“Yeah”

Yukiyo stands up and puffs her chest up with Shen standing beside her staring at the ruined castle. A rift opens up right at that moment with Nyarlathotep’s face popping up.

“I came to say H-?!”

Yukiyo teleported and punched her face twisting her finger in for extra damage sending her flying within an instant crashing into the gates and going beyond the city walls.

“What was that for?!”

“I don’t know maybe a certain someone orchestrated this shit would know”

“Okay I have to admit, it was me but you grew and that’s what matters right?I believed in you all the way”

“Fuck you Nyarla-chan”

“Anyway congrats on becoming a demigod, I look forward to your progress as a god from now on. Also Hastur made sure that this incident appeared to be the awakening of an evil god that got resealed again, so you should be in the clear up until you invade their gates.”

“Thanks I guess?”

“Also have this”

Nyarlathotep threw something at Yukiyo, it was a duffle bag with stuff in it which made her confused.

“What’s in this?”

“Let me see, one seed to make that dragon into a god, several items to manipulate the skills and jobs of those around you for them to enter divinity and that’s about it really. Oh yeah there’s an item in there that will forcibly open the gates to the realm of the gods. I’ll see you soon”

Nyarlathotep vanished inside of the tear she opened up laughing wildly at the very idea of the incoming war that was going to happen sooner or later. Yukiyo sighed and stared at Shen who did the same as their future was becoming very complicated.
