Chapter 42:Part 4
Quantity neck chops Kogetsu causing him to black out but then his body implodes like a balloon
BOOOM!
Unknown,Mystery and Shadow while fleeing stare in astonishment and terror
Quantity turns to them with a sly smile
"Next"
Quantity launches himself appearing infront of Unknown with a massive grin on his face
Quantity balls his fist and throws a jab towards Unknown
Within the same instance Unknowns left eye glows red as his upper clothing tears away revealing his toned physique
Unknown side ducks the jab and counters with a scissor kick to the chin following with a back heel kick
Sending Quantity into a cell
Unknown generates black flames in his right hand and launches it in the form of a rope he tugs on it Immediately zips passed Mystery amd Shadow
Unknown jumps on exposed wires
Rock ledges and cell bars
Unknowns eye light up as he sees an opening to the outside
He accelerates reaching meters away to the outside
He extends his hand
'So close...almost–'
Unknowns eyes dialt as he sees Quantity in front of him and hears another whispering in his ear behind him
"So close yet so far"
The two Quantity's luanch a kick ripping his top and bottom half apart
The second Quantity reverts into green energy as the Quantity clone abosrbs it
Quantitys eye reflect a cold gleam as he says coldly
"Next"
As he says this he stares at Shadow and Mystery who are now just a few floors away from escape
'Why won't Unknown regenerate or come back it's not like Quantity Eraeed him like how Forge did during Shio's rampage'
[Guidance prompt]
[Master it's most likely that he destroyed his informational matter or in other terms astral body which is–]
'Beyond Erasure'
Shadow finishes
'Mystery becareful Quantity might be using astral damage to prevent you guys from reviving'
Shadow said through thought communication
Mystery just nods as he accelerates
'I can't use my voice commands it seems that the system or one of tge Mystery clan single digits blocked the ability'
'But if my divine eye is correct'
Mystery's body begins to blur
As he speeds towards Quantity
'This will be my only chance'
Mystery appears infront of Quantity as time slows down Quantity readies to smash his fist into Mystery's face when Quantitys Face shifts tosurprise as he side step to the left
Mystery turns his body to the right
Abrubtly a clean sword slash cuts the very space in half
'Damn it Sekero'
Quantity curses
Mystery with Quantity's temporary distraction lands a back heel kick to Quantity's left abdomen following it up with a spin kick to the ribs in the same moment
Quantity is sent into the a collapsing cell
As an exposed thin steel piller pierces through Quantity's heart
Quantity falls limp for a moment
Mystery blitz out of the facility into a portal
Shadow reaches the exit but Quantity appears under him grabbing his ankle
Shadow grits his teeth when Quantity throws him back into the cell
Shadow stops himself from plunging deeper into the facility
Quantity flashes infront of him Unleashing a punch to the face knocking Shadow into the cell
His vision blurs energy sporadic
Quantity appears infront of him
Shadows vision now blurry falls to the ground
Quantity smiles ominously his energy beginning to surge
'Crap I can't see and it seems he hit me with something that causes my energy to flow chaoticly'
'Shit...i can't breath his pressure is suffocating'
'Fine then'
White energy begins oozing from Shadow's body
Quantity grins
"Welcome back...Shio"
Shadow unleashes Shio
'If im gonna die–'
Shadows eyes begin turning black as Shio takes control
"I'll erase you with me"
The scene shifts to Slayers and Quantity's battlefield as the two stare at each other a timer appears the fight counting down
[6 minutes ten seconds remain]
'I have ten minutes left to end this before my restrictions return'
Slayer thinks
[6 minutes 5 seconds remain]
'That being said'
Slayer and Quantity take a step forward their energies releasing
'I'm going to end this now'
[5 minutes 59 seconds remain]
They're blades release chaotic energy and luanch at each other
"Quantum tunneling,Quantum immortality and Quantum immortality"
"It doesn't take a genius to figure out your abilities abide by the laws of Quantum mechanics"
Slayer while stepping towards Quantity his eyes shimmer a crimson hue his demeanor razor focused
"Essence control and vibration control"
"Figuring out it was vibration control was a real headache but I've experienced gravity control and even that can't stop instantaneous travel of attacks"
Quantity smiles
"But as for vibrations on the other hand you'd need incredible control and understanding of Essence fundamental for it"
The two stop only a metre of distance between them as a Slash perfectly cuts the distance between the two
Cracks appear around them
The sky cleared of all kinds of fumes
Cloud cut in half when the atmosphere changed to a galaxy like view
"It seems Eraken and Senkis stoped hold back"
Slayer remarks
"Sekero as well"
Quantity adds on
"Time to finish our little dance"
Quantity says
"Agreed"
Slayers replies
Silence
...
[5 minutes remain]
BOOM
Red,green energy crackles around the two
Their swords clashing violently
Two Quantity appear behind Slayer ready to cut him from behind when purple energy is enveloped around them
Immediately the clone crash to the ground
Slayer pivots Quantity's blade to the ground before kicking him in the gut pushing him back
Slayer attempts to move when he immediately notices he can't
He looks behind him to notice the glowing Quantity clones glowing green
Slayer doesn't react as the clones detonate collapsing the very space around him in an explosion
Green smoke of energy continues to collapse the space
Quantity remains smiling
"Honestly despite knowing my eyes if collapse destabilizing your existential foundation I'm surprised you can still use your abilities to such a perfect extent"
The green energy begins to converge revealing Slayer unharmed manipulating the energy as if it's smoke or mist
"Having mist manipulation does come in handy"
"Glad Shenky taught me it"
Slayer closes his eyes as he concentrates the collapsing space and energy into his sword
His eyes snap open now shimmering jade green
"Forsaken skill:rift mirror"
"Chaos collapse"
Slayer swings his blade
Suddenly the space near Slayer desintagrates in green light taking Quantity's arm with it
Quantity stares at his lost arm in intrigue
"You know if this was any other person it'd be impossible to regenerate it even for Bijen"
In the next moment Quantity's body glitches as his arm appeared once more
He smiles staring at Slayer
"If I had to guess you only have about two minutes left before your restrictions return"
Quantity's gear spins rapidly as he points it towards him
"How about we end this in out next exchange"
Slayer remains silent but his stance and energy told he agreed
The two readied for the next clash
Suddenly a lion of red energy flashes across the sky roaring
After the roar the two instantly met
Quantity sends a lung
Slayer parries with his sword centering with a slash through the his torso but the attack is ineffective as Quantity retaliates witha horizontal slash
Slayer leaps in the air whispering something
"Wistling death serpent"
and thrusts his blade toward him
A serpent of black energy springs out
Opening its mouth to swallow Quantity when Slayers voice was heard once more
"Forsaken series:vibration stampede"
Quantity was then brought down to one knee as purple energy chaoticly envelopes him and Slayer
[10 seconds remain]
Slayer descends like a meator his eyes never leaving the kneeling Quantity
"Combo technique"
Slayer slayer meets up with the serpent attack as he swings his black through the serpent projection
The serpent seemingly follows the sword direction
Slayers blade becomes crimson red as he cuts through Quantity's neck with a creasant slash
"Serpent slash of Crimson Dawns"
Slayer lands on his feet as the vibration field ends
Slayer sheathed his blade as his restrictions return
Slayer sighs
"Lucky I finished on time or else that could've been–"
Rapid spinning Sounds
Slayer quickly raises his right arm whilst jumping back as Quantity's blade cuts his upper arm off
"I must say that finishing move of yours was remarkable that I'll say"
Quantity rises Slayers attack still evident on his neck
Glowing red when it vanished as his floating sword cracks to the extend his blade tip chips off
Slayer glances as his now cut off hand
He picks it up when black mist from his hand attaches to his arm before effortlessly reattaches itself as if it was never cut of to begin with
Slayer stares at Quantity with a complex expression
"Well seeing you can't regenerate it means your very durable but my sword by passes defenses entirely when the gear is spinning rapidly of coarse"
"Consider it a handicap i put on myself"
"How thoughtful"
Slayer remarks
"Thank you"
"But I came to tge conclusion that killing you is a far more daunting task then I thought"
Quantity's eyes glow
"So in stead"
Greens symbols appear around Slayer and in an instance he was trapped in green prison
"I'll just trapped in there until the merger arrives"
The scene shifts to the entire planet when massive rays if green light appears across the planet with Quantitys menacing laugh echoing across Axior
The scene cuts back to the Main Quantity as he smiles coldy
"Speaking of the Quantum Merger"
"It seems all my clones provailed"
As he says this it cuts to all the guardians on the ground with the Quantity clones standing casually with green rays behind each one
The main Quantity vanishes as he appears in the air
"Ancient tales of disaster come to fur wishing"
"God's and ancient powers hidden behind dark veils"
A dark green rays if energy erupts behind Quantity as all the Quantity clones chant along with the main one
"Allow realms and and matter to collide"
They're voices echoe across the fabric of existence
"Bring fourth my self made disaster"
The scene cuts to Mystery landing on a grass field of flames as he listens to Quantity ominous voice he thinks
'Man how the hell am i supposed to clear this level'
'The system is crazy if it thinks I can do anything"
He sighs
'The guardians is useless,Shenky is useless,my teams dead,my energy is depleted and Forge is shop is destroyed'
Mystery flops to the ground
Rest his hands behind his head and sighs once more
"Well guess I'll just give not like I can do anything now"
The scene cuts around the world with Quantity smirking with an evil gleam in jis eyes
"Sacred unjust atonement"
"World cleaver of ends"
"I summon"
Everything goes silent gor a moment
"Quantum...Merger"
BOOM!
A massive tear in reailty begins opening to the real world as Quantity's bone chilling laugh echoes
The scene cuts to back to Mystery as je lays on the floor accepting his fate
Eyes already closed
Abrubtly everything freezes
Existence freezes
A singular white feather passed Mystery causing him to open his eyes as a blinding ethereal light shines on him
The moment it subsided Mystery saw a descending young boy dressed in white,yellow shaded robes that reached his knees
Pale white skin shining blue eyes and silky light blue hair
His robes had black zigzag patterns across it
"Hello fair hero you seem to have lost all hope in such a precarious situation"
His voice was warm and elegant his expression almost innocent
"Frieght not as I Zenta...God of Time shall bestow on to a second chance"
Zenta snaps his fingers as time begins rewinding all the way to The moment the Writer appeared in front of them
Instantly Mystery transformed into his ravenger state as he shouted
"HOW DO YOU KNOW I CAN ERASE YOU FRO. EXISTENCE IS A MYSTERY"
Mystery launches towards Writer and before anyone could react even Bijen
Mystery pierces through writers head as his words finally register Writers body evaporates but Mystery wasn't done
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE CALAMITIES WERE AT LEVEL ZERO"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY AREN'T ETERNALLY IMPRISONED HERE"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY DONT HAVE INFINITE STABILIZERS"
"ITS... A MYSTERY"
Everything goes silent when something seemingly shifts
It switches to Bijen as he smiles
"Thank you for fulfilling your role as intended"
With those world each cell was room was engulfed in darkness after it subsided
It shifts to Quantity who's standing still with a dark expression when
Sigh
"What was i doing?"
Quantity slumps to his as he let's out a depressing groan
"Why did i even think of doing something so stupid?"
All the inmates if floor zero shared this sentiment

Kogetsu and the rest stare at Mystery in Surprise as he detransforms
He pants before calming down and sighing in relief
"What happened?"
Shadow questions
"Last thing I remember was Quantity killing me"
Kogetsu remarks
"Same here"
Unknown adds
Mystery turns to them with a complex expression
"Long story short time reset"
