The Primordial Spirit God had been stabbed deeply as his wound opened up more through the sharp blade from Yuki's katana.
To the Spirit God, it was merely just a scratch and in his eyes, time flew by faster than the traditional time.
Five minutes in his eyes, had passed quickly as he smirked.
Spirit God: Look at that..
His smirked was suddenly wiped off his face.
Spirit God: You're going to die.
He threw a sharp chop to decapitate Yuki, but he pulled out and blocked with the sword, but the very impact had sent shockwaves through all of Hell and had caused him to be sent flying.
Yuki: ...Damn, that bitch...
He landed on the floor as the Spirit God charged towards him. Though, space and time distorted and completely warped when he had moved.
He was too quick that Yuki couldn't react. As the Spirit God throws a punch imbued with spirit energy, as he couldn't react to it, he barely blocked it with his sword which sends him into other dimensions.
There were flickers between dimensions in which Yuki landed in a dimension where everything was the opposite of their realm.
Spirit God: Is that all you can do?
Yuki sighed deeply in disbelief, but also in exhaustion.
Yuki: No...
In that instance, his speed had drastically increased as he flew towards the Spirit God.
Spirit God: He'll kill me... well that's what he is planning on doing.. I'll have to finish off this fight.
He dodged his attack, then incinerating his sword into ashes, but Yuki suddenly disappeared.
「Rule added: Any attacks from the known opponent no longer applies.」
The Spirit God had countered attack then goes to erase his existence entirely, though it hadn't affected him.
Spirit God: The hell? What's going on? He isn't being erased? Impossible... how can it be!
With a light touch from Yuki, the Spirit God's mana had been absorbed, now allowing Yuki to completely copy all of his abilities. It wasn't just copying, he completely removed his abilities from his arsenal.
Yuki's touch had then instantly erased him from existence.
Yuki: I figured it out... Primordial Gods may lack physical forms, though... they aren't immune to everything being forced against their will..
He murmured as he inhaled and exhaled deeply.
Heavenly System, Lucian's ability, allowed Yuki to bend the laws of the universe and reality against its will through adding rules onto oneself or opponents. Though it can't grant immortality.
His stamina had ran low then he took a breather, but before he could rest, there was the Greek God of Beauty, Aphrodite, had attack through a normal a soul and DNA rewrite.
Yuki's widened his eyes slightly as he was touched before he stepped back.
Yuki: ...Who the hell is she?
His body was slowly changing as Aphrodite charged towards him. She then goes for a kick to the head, though he blocked with his left forearm, but the impact sends him flying.
The impact had shattered the dimension, bringing them back into Star City. He crashes into buildings, causes smoke to build up as Aphrodite lands on the floor.
Aphrodite: Law and reality warping huh? So what? Anyone can bypass that rule adding ability if they're above concepts and casuality.
She said with a beautiful smile with lovely long hair that flows down her waist. Her eyes were, in a way, passionate.
Yuki: What now...? The Greek God?
As the smoke dispersed, Yuki–who had been affected by her–had became a female. Aphrodite, with a seductive and pleasurable smile, glanced at him.
Aphrodite: Look at you, all beautiful now.
Yuki glanced downwards, noticing his body change, height change and his longer hair.
Yuki: Hey... the hell did you do...?
His calm, but emptiness tone echoed through the city as his voice is now higher pitched while Aphrodite smiled.
Aphrodite: You looked boring darling. You need some beauty and color in your life. So I changed you completely.
Yuki stood there as his exhaustion was visible from constantly fighting. He had the look of someone who will collapse soon.
Yuki: So she changed me entirely... I can't fight in this body...
Aphrodite chuckled as she was erased completely. It was unknown how she was erased, but it happened. Yuki's change immediately reversed back to normal.
An angelic being descended downwards from the sky as Yuki glanced up. It was Samuel the Angel.
Samuel: Hey.
Yuki: ....
He stayed silent. The silence between them both was loud.
Samuel: She would've killed you, you know? To be fair, I'm one of the weaker angels.
Yuki was in a state of uncertainty and never understood him.
Yuki: So... you're Samuel?
Samuel: Yup, I came down to speak to you.
In the Sea of the Cosmos–more known as the Narrative Space–a mysterious, sluggish being with massive amount of teeth and eyes has been residing in it. It was unknown and incomprehensible.
No one could understand this "being" or "concept" of what IT is. These were True Outer Gods. Once seen will be driven into insanity or even cease to exist. The "unknowable" isn't what makes them the strongest.
These existences are at their strongest in destructive capabilities. A being known as Azathoth sleeps through existence like it is its usual nap time.
Samuel: The Divine Order System governs the second layer of reality that could only be measured, so anyone who is measurable can be ranked.
Yuki listened carefully as he sat down next to Samuel.
Samuel: Though... it doesn't cover the third layer, which is the Sea of the Cosmos. Most Primordial and Outer Gods comes from there, and then there's the True Outer God.
Yuki: True Outer God....?
He was a bit hesitant about it, though it piqued his curiosity.
Samuel: Yeah. A being like Azathoth transcends all things, even God fears it. Its existence transcends all creation and meta-narratives, so everyone below sees it as an omnipotent god.
Yuki: So....?
He was struggling to process everything despite his emotionless state. Samuel glanced at him in the eyes and sighed deeply as he stretches out his limbs and wings.
Samuel: Imagine reality in three different layers like pancakes. First layer is the physical reality, second layer is the data reality while the third layer is the Sea of the Cosmos. Azathoth resides above it.
His explanation had cleared everything up for Yuki as he sighed while restoring his stamina.
Yuki: So the second layer is basically the Divine Order System, the first layer is basically us and the universes while the third layer is the meta-narratives?
Samuel: Exactly. The third layer of reality basically sees everything as fictional stories, and Azathoth is above all of that.
Yuki: So the Sea of the Cosmos is the highest layer of reality meaning there is no other layers above that.
Samuel was a bit surprised how fast Yuki had caught on to the idea. It wasn't something anybody could get a good grasp on, not even himself.
Samuel: Yeah.
Yuki sighed deeply from thinking as Samuel notices it was his time to leave.
Samuel: Hey, uhh, I gotta go. God needs me, I'll see ya later.
He immediately vanished from Yuki's sight giving him no time to say goodbye.
Yuki sat there and noticed how destroyed Star City is. The scent of blood from many people flows through the air as he started clearing off the blood smell through 「Air Manipulation」and used 「Creation」to fix the entire city.
He stood up without saying a word and stretched as Lillian teleported down to him with a gentle smile.
Lillian: You did it. The Cataclysm had ended and now you can finally rest. How do you feel now that you can stop and take breaks?
Yuki raised his hand up as magical sigils appears above the dead bodies as it resurrects them from the dead.
Yuki: Well... all I have to say is.. that I don't think I deserve a break.
Lillian: And why not?
Yuki: People like me doesn't deserve one. Not even after they've been cursed with Perfect Immortality.
Lillian glanced at him in the eyes as everything was rebuilt instantly. She was getting concerned about his mental health.
She sighed in deep uncertainty.
Lillian: I noticed you didn't use your own katana and gun I gave you. And Perfect Immortality is just... something Death gave you.
Yuki: ...I have a question. I only joined because you promised me breaks and celebrations. Though, this isn't a celebration at all... so let me ask you this.
She looked at him in the eyes as she had became serious. She sat there, listening to everything.
Yuki: What do you know... about me? You know nothing about me... do you? Actually, I need to know.. are you even human?
That question had shook her as her eyes widened. There was a long, deafening silence between them as Yuki immediately pulled out the gun from his coat and pulled the trigger which causes Lillian's head to explode.
Her head had regenerated quickly as she sat there quietly.
Lillian: How'd you know...?
Her tone and voice became horrifyingly distorted and warped as her body started shapeshifting into a creature of the unknown.
Yuki looked at it in the eyes as her body goes through a bone-cracking and incomprehensible transformation of a creature.
The disturbing creature's transformation had been complete as it encompasses all-seeing eyes all over the mystical crimson-black body with a large mouth at the front with a cosmic space full of multiverses within the overextending mouth.
The horror slowly begins as its capabilities of warping minds, concepts of space and time and reality was now beyond the normal limit.
