《Reborn: Last Chance to Ascend》28. Cathedral 2/2
Advertisement
The figure of Bifrons wearing elegant black clothes supplemented by a pair of crimson red winds appeared. His whole presence was radiating an intense pressure that was even stronger than that of an angel.
Angels flames blazed even brighter as he turned towards a demon. "You shall burn, demon. I will burn your tainted soul, in the name of gods, As I am Siriel, an angelic servant of gods." Then he lifted both of his hands. A massive orb of golden flames was concentrating between them. Sheer pressure emitting from it made me sweat. Angel released an orb towards a Bifrons who swept his clawed hand towards it with a bothered face, releasing a pure red wave. When a wave met an orb whole orb dissipated.
"How dare to call yourself an angel. Such fake dummy of the angel such as you has no right to call itself with the name of my cousins." Bifrons accelerated towards an angel, leaving a red trail behind him. He closed a distance in less than a second and swung his claws. Angel moved his flaming arm to intercept and attack. Bifrons glowed in red lighting and cut through the arms like a hot knife through the butter. "?#!" angel made an incredible sound of pain.
Enraged angel flapped his wing and disappeared in golden flames before appearing a few meters behind a Bifrons where he released a volley of golden flame orbs. Bifrons unleashed another red wave neutralizing angels attack.
"I serve gods. I can't lose." Angel attacked again, releasing a massive beam of golden flames. A bright red barrier formed around Bifrons and me. It looked like a red bubble with mystical symbols floating on its surface. Beam kept hitting a barrier almost for three seconds. I couldn't see the outside of the barrier as gold flames flooded everything.

For some reason, Bifrons became enraged as he shouted towards an angel, "You are not a servant of gods. They are only four Gods, and you serve none of them".
Soon the golden flames finally dissipated, revealing a massive circle of destruction that surrounded a barrier. The spherical crater appeared as a stone from the ground evaporated.
Bifrons looked at his arm almost as if he looked at the clocks. Then his face spasmed in rage, "I wasted enough of my time here. But don't worry, my little fake angel. You will repay it to me as my new lab rat. I always wondered how is your kind made."
More magic started to concentrate around an angel, but before he could do anything with it, a swirl of red glowing chains shot out of the Bifrons. They wrapped around an angel. Soon only a sphere of rotating chains remained.
A red oval portal appeared in front of a demon, and he stepped towards it.
"Mhmm, thank you, You really helped me here," I said towards a leaving Bifrons as I was not an ungrateful idiot.
He turned towards me, and a black staff with a shining red crystal appeared in his hand. "I almost forgot, your new staff is finished. Enjoy it as I wasted plenty of my time making it." Then he tossed it towards me. I caught it with one of my hands.
Ding!

'Why is it so colourful? Probably a result of [Analyze] levelling up. Anyway, its stats are better, and they are even totally new bonuses.' Then I remembered that my allies were lying on the ground. I looked towards a place where I saw a darks last time. I breathed in relief as I spotted them lying on the ground exhausted from spending all of their mana.
With a few blinks, I got out of the cathedral where I shouted towards a darks standing there, "They are few of us that needs help. Go inside and help them. I will go and kill a Sulivan."
'That weird pipe was coming from down, so Sulivan is probably downstairs.' I entered a cathedral once again, but I didn't head towards a staircase. I walked towards a hole in the ground from where an angel came. Leaning over the edge, I saw a circular room partially covered in debris. It was ten meters down. Without any hesitation, I jumped down into the hole. I landed with a loud thud. My barrier didn't even activate as my robust constitution easily absorbed an impact. Exit out of the room was blocked with massive metallic doors. I summoned a few fireballs and melted them down. A long corridor made out of old-looking stone bricks was in front of me.
Voices were coming from one of the doors in the corridor.
"Quickly pack that gold. And do not forget ritual jewels."
"Of course, your holiness."
I rushed towards the door. "Bang" Old wooden doors shattered as I collided with them. Inside of storage room filled with boxes was a bunch of people wearing and long coats of inquisitors and old men in white priest robes. One of them dropped a box that he carried in surprise.
I grinned, and my eyes shined with joy, 'Finally, time to take my revenge'.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
