The giant had now begun to tremble with anger, feeling the hatred for this insignificant life form he had created boil in his blood. His ritual construct had been destroyed by his attack, the portions of his soul that he had split were now free, and worse still...was that these acts had been perpetrated by his creations...himself!

A violent inferno of self-loathing and hatred burned within his soul, desperately wanting to be vented somewhere, and where better than at the creature that had birthed this negative swell of emotions…

Giant: “Before, I was holding back for fear of damaging my Anthem...my hope...but you...YOU VULGAR CREATURE, I WILL DESTROY YOU IN YOUR ENTIRETY!!!”

The colossal titan, fueled by anger and hatred, now began to flood the remains of his body with power far surpassing that of the maelstrom, which caused a new change...for the first time since the giant had suddenly emerged in the void...it moved!

Its two arms now began to rise like twin snakes reaching for their prey, seemingly ignoring the massive gashes and portions of revealed bone as they rocketed toward the target of the giant’s vengeance!

Of course, their target would not let this happen, quickly forming a large skeletal hand out of the purple fog, once more, and encasing themselves within its mighty fist! The two massive appendages pounced on the skeletal fist, instantly colliding with it and producing a massive burst of pressure that rocked the void, sending the nearby ‘gods’ flying!

Under the immense pressure of the two hands, the skeletal construct had already nearly completely deteriorated, with large cracks spanning every inch its form! Panic quickly seemed to overtake the two gods’ combined face, and an immense amount of mana suddenly began pouring from the God of Creation’s eye!

Giant: “YOU ARE MERELY A SHELL I CREATED TO SERVE A SINGULAR PURPOSE, AND YET YOU DARED TO QUESTION ME AND STAND HERE NOW, IN DEFIANCE OF ME?!?! I SHALL CRUSH YOUR FUTILE RESISTANCE ATTEMPT AND SPEND THE REST OF TIME UNTIL I PERISH, TORTURING YOU!!!”

Just as the pressure began to grow to the point where the construct should have collapsed, a large platform suddenly formed underneath the point where the skeletal arm was formed! Now, with something to push off from, the purple fog’s light intensified and extended the arm like a bamboo shoot, slipping out of the grasp of the giant with a massive boom!

The arm quickly hurtled the two into the distance, releasing its hold on them and allowing them to soar freely, before collapsing into a haze of purple fog! The two were sent flying out of the range of the giant, struggling to oppose their movement and recover!

Giant: “AND THE OTHER ONE, I KNOW NOT HOW YOU WERE CREATED, BUT REST ASSURED THAT I WILL TAKE THE GREATEST PLEASURE IN YOUR SUFFERING!!!”

Life and Creation used mana to suspend themselves in midair, forcing themselves to quickly adjust to the sudden difference before turning back to face their creator, who now stood straight up while aiming his massive open palm in their direction…

A parade of sparks began to form in his hand, crackling against each other as an immense concentration of lightning began to form, consuming his hand with its furious light!

However, neither Life nor Creation was willing to give him the opportunity, taking a preemptive strike by launching a strange barrage of what appeared to be seeds that hurtled towards him! With a flick of a glowing green hand, a similarly-colored light covered the seeds, which began to bloom and weave themselves together, almost instantly forming a thorn-lined net of vines!

If a light beside the ‘gods’ existed within the void, the net would have cast an enormous shadow over the giant, who seemed to grow even more furious at this attempt…

He clenched his fist tightly, causing the captured lightning in his palm to struggle to escape, searing the entire net into ashes in a matter of moments!

Life and Creation’s eyes both widened at this display of power, but they quickly seemed to shake it off and proceeded with several more barrages of seed bullets!
…

Meanwhile, on the floor of the theater, Fate was struggling to get to his feet, constantly tripping over himself whenever he tried to raise himself off the floor.

From far away it would sound like he was wheezing, but…

Fate: “Hahahahahahaha!!!”

In truth, he was cackling like mad, so much so that he couldn’t even bring himself to stand up! If someone saw him now, they would scarcely take a few seconds to determine that he seemed deranged. Gone was the stubborn face he had on to face the Witch, now replaced with a depraved smile that would seem painful to anyone who wore it, however, Fate seemed to have no problems with bearing such a menacing expression.

The sinister reincarnator now turned his depraved smile and laughter towards the ceiling, where the Witch had been watching earnestly, both himself and her performance. Fate now began to gather flames in his palm, while the two ‘gods’ battled their creator, their siblings cowered, and the carving on the ceiling began to smile…

Fate: "Hey b*tch! Guess what I have!?~ It's called CRIPPLING INSTABILITY!!!"

A multitude of constructs and vines shot towards a titan, while a fireball hurled by a madman soared towards the Witch! And then, two explosions rocked the theater, while raucous laughter rang out from Fate!

Fate: "BUT I THINK IT'S HURTING ME MORE THAN YOU, WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?!~ HAHAAHAHAHAAAHAAHAAAHA!!!"
