@8thFallenSoul @amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall "Enough talk."

The shining gold and burning flames in her soul had come to fruition, the rising sun taking place through her mere existence. As not a physical vessel, but representation of her love for all things took covenant over Sharetsu.

[Lunacy @KarmaticLunacy]

@8thFallenSoul @amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall "May we both stay the other's beating heart, so that as we perish with love we may continue our violence yet."

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin Azrael's gaze lingers on the unknown adversary. Yet Karu's eyes ensnare him most—a tempest raging within, vast as the realm itself, her gaze piercing him with a deep, soul-freezing malice.

What does she see?

"I fail to comprehend. What are you?"

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin Presently, Karu cannot eradicate Virion faster than the abominable proliferation of his clones. This dire impasse stems not from exhaustion nor faltering will. Azrael perceives that Karu's very essence is crumbling into frailty.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin "Do not cut him short. No matter how immutable you deem yourself, you lack the upper hand in strength and self."

Azrael remarks coolly, for he witnessed not their clash. He deduces Karu could not have triumphed. Frankly, His standing is inconsequential at its core.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin These aspects awaken no inquiry. Without such power, Karu would have been dispatched by Virion in less than a heartbeat. The true enigma is that she falls short of the fated threshold to the Asura.

By Azrael's calculations, Karu remains inferior to Virion.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin The special attributes of Karu stand nigh fully distilled, yet enigmas gnaw his mind.

Offense—a series of Commandments granting keenness by killing intent and unveiling openings.

Defense—analogous of creating fatal gaps, deft evasion, with an immutable and indestructible body.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin Nevertheless, it grows manifest that she hath not fulfilled every shadowed expectation. She has partially met them, and it remains uncertain whether this is for better or worse.

"Let me describe my impressions thus far."

And so, Azrael coolly presses onward with his analysis.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin And so, the attack was unraveled.

Karu's existence possessed a peculiarity that neither regeneration nor endurance could explain. Blood, flesh, and bone had long since lost their conventional significance, transcending the laws of physics and the common sense.

[Azrael Kajiri @TrueEveningBell]

@TheMeifuMadou @8thFallenSoul @inspiraowl @doc_mc_stuffin "𝔄𝔎𝔏𝔒: 𝔐𝔄𝔇𝔒𝔘."

Following the incantation, Karu's slash came to an absolute halt. Yet the reverberation it cast across existence proved sufficient. "Attack" itself was but another literary aspect, and thus another property Azrael could seize through his CT.

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall Even so, he'd clutch his unyielding resolve and dash forth, brandishing his apparatus of execution.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡? 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫?

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall There was nowhere to run for him. He had only one chance. Right here, and now.

His heart beat with urgency beyond even the bounds of mere severity to keep every inch of his being alive no matter if it was his soon-to-be corpse or mere cosmic fragments.

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall "𝐓𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐮 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐯𝐞."

Those were the Ephemeral Moment's parting words, one he was certain would burn into the memories of all immutable to all dragged into her salvation.

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall Beginning to step out of the area, the truth behind the two Einherjar of the Hagun Mashuu's words ringing in his head. After all, who else could grasp the extent of her power besides her own men?

But of course...

"It's just like what Star said."

(4/?)

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall The Golden Beast.

A catastrophe given human form.

An aberration of power commanding war itself, seeking to paint all creation in her own desire, dragging all into her Valhalla and inflicting her destructive love upon all.

Who was he to deny such a thing?

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall But even then, no matter how audacious—no matter how little he thought of the Hagun Mashuu—the words of the two opposing him strike true as intended. After all, who was he to deny such a thing?

[Shrine 🇯🇴 @8thFallenSoul]

@amyleeirl @Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall Dragged away mere moments before he had lost himself.

He was left to ponder the inquiry Kai had left for each pillar there, a meaning to a word that had haunted all inhabitants of this current heaven before ultimately arriving to his conclusion:

"Isn't it obvious?"

[starii @amyleeirl]

@Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall @8thFallenSoul “𝙏𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙆𝙖𝙧𝙪, 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙫𝙚.”

[starii @amyleeirl]

@Motivatedude_ @kaiazfall @8thFallenSoul “But until that power can be realized by the masses, I will respond to violence with violence.”

The young woman’s energy shifted as she directed herself to Kazura and Kai, her gaze hardening as she ensured the door was shut.

“However…”
