《Beyond Gods》Prologue fourth part: The last laugh (first part)
Advertisement
(For those that are surprised by 'God's' incompetence and maybe how he did not noticed that his neat cage was destroyed and that he should have noticed it if this had happened, it was because his cage was never destroyed, it was absorbed into Origin. For example if a house has heavy security against robbers it won't trigger if you simply steal the whole house plus the security system!)
After a few years of being engrossed by the marvelous scenery infront of him Origin decided to track 'God' down.
He could feel 'God's' very soul in this vast universe, like a unique fingerprint it had a distinct shape and structure which discerned it from any other soul. Even more so because it was 'God', his soul compared to others was like a diamond in a pile of dung.
Origin felt 'God's' presence right in the centre of the universe like a focal point everything revolved around him.
After Origin shifted his focus on himself again he noticed a distinct change in the 'atmosphere' (We are in space bruh... :D ) around him. Like he was emerged in water his whole body felt heavy and his movements became sluggish.
It did not matter wherever he went the pressure did not change, he even entered blackholes and suns but the heavy feeling could not be shaken off.
Origin decided on a different approach and instead of fighting against the pressure he relaxed and to his surprise the pressure left and like a vent that was opened he felt a foreign energy being sucked into him and altering his body and soul.
The new substance that was cursing through him amplified his own might manyfold. He tried using his body as a catalyst to direct the power into space. Suddenly stones, water, fire, wind, thunder, ice, roots, black mist and a bright golden light stared to shoot out of his body.
Taken aback by this bizarre phenomenon Origin rapidly closed the powerinflux and observed this physic breaking situation.
(Don't misunderstand, the 'Devas', 'Danas' and Origin are just beings of immense energy and gravity. The 'Devas' are like ginormous suns and the 'Danas' like super-blackholes, but they cannot make matter or energy just randomly appear like what Origin does right here with the help of magic, like most of you guessed already, I hope so because it was not that hard to guess! :D )
But instead of calmly analysing his new power Origin started to wildly shoot with 'magic' projectiles consisting of fire, water and earth bullets in the size of planets.
(Origin) “Ahahahahahah! This shit is fun!!!“
After water, fire and earth he started to use giant windblades to cut planets in half, shoot thunders that would make 'Thor' green with envy and freeze suns in just a matter of seconds.

Surprisingly the suns were literally frozen. They ended up as huge clumps of ice hovering in the universe.
( ^ This part might cause a few misunderstandings. I really mean literally frozen. It is simply impossible to 'freeze' a star. I know roughly what happens to a cooled down star, it starts to grow and burn its last bits of fuel and then ends up as a white dwarf star, but it surely won't change into an ice block. I just wanted to underline how absurd and op magic is!)
The roots of the 'Nature magic' started to suck planets dry and began to bloom until a giant tree with the size of multiple earths was floating through space.
(Planet 1) “DUDE RUUUUUUN! That guy is crazy.“
(Planet 2) “I know man he already killed Johny, Steven and Uncle Jack. That dude is a nutcase!“
(Planet 1) “S-S-SIMON!! I think he wants you next!“
(Planet 2 (Simon)) “Wait what?! Fuck Fuck Fuck, gotta go fast!... Oh mother of God what is thi- ARGHHH!“
Before Simon could finish his sentence a dense black fog has surrounded him and started to devour him bit by bit.
(Planet 1) “SIMOOOOOOOOOOOON. YOU MOTHERFUCKER I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!“
(Origin) “*Sneeze*. Somebody talking 'bout me? What the heck, that planet is coming reeeeaaaaly close... Ah fuck it! BURN YOU GIANT BRICK!“
BOOOOM
Before Planet 1 could harm Origin a golden light disintegrated its core, causing a massive explosion.
(Planet 1) “AHHHHHHHHHH I curse youuuu-!“. Be Planet 1's name remembered for all eternity, for attempting to stop the walking apocalypse called Origin.
RIP Planet 1
Year 17823 – 7283991283
(Ok back to serious business!)
A few hours and a handful of destroyed galaxies later Origin had now a good grasp of his new ability.
To his surprise his naturally inborn power was highly surpressed in this universe which meant that he could only destroy planets with a serious punch at most and the closer he went to 'God's' location the weaker his own power got and the stronger his new magic became.
If one had to put the change to his original powers in words it would be like shooting a panzerfaust while being submerged in the ocean.
Thinking about his surpressed power and his new ability he got he came to the conclusion that his raw energy is being surpressed by the magic essence around him.
Only a handful of years later Origin stood now in the universe's centre, facing the being that imprissoned him and his family.
(God) “Hoho you managed to rbeak out of my small cage, good for you, good for you! But please don't misunderstand, this was not even the tip of the iceberg!“

'God's' voice sounded aged and young at the same time filled with wisdom and juvenile temperament simultaneously.
Origin only sneered at him but instead of attacking he decided a different approach. With his current power he could not face 'God'. Using his new aquired power would be suicide as it was made by 'God' and he most likely mastered it already. So instead of using his original power or his magic power he decided to fuse them together.
Using his third power, the misterious 'soul power' as he dubbed it, as a conductor between the two endless streams of energy he started to intertwine them with each other.
'God' did not wait for him to finish and approached in an instant, a serious instant there was no time lag inbetween.
His arm shoot out like a viper and approached Origin's abdomen. But to his surprise Origin blocked the attack with a claw formed hand.
'God' could not help but grin as he felt the now combined magical energy invading into his body, trying to destroy him from the inside out.
The energy of 'God's' punch was no laughing matter it contained the might to destroy universes with ease but Origins power current power could fight 'God' on par.
Punches and kicks flew like lightning shaking the whole universe. But this was 'God's' masterpiece so it easily withstood the fierce attacks.
After only a few seconds the centre of the universe was already desolated. Stardust and debris flew endlessly in the vast void, a result of 'God's' and Origin's fight.
But no matter what Origin did he was being pushed back ever so slightly and even started to feel exhaustion.
With 'God' pressuring him while clearly holding parts of his power back Origin could not help but frown. It was not only that 'God' held back, Origin could feel there was a hidden trump card so before 'God' could use that he collected his whole might to start a fatal attack.
God seemingly noticing how Origin concentrated his power made him grin even wider. With a flick of his finger multiple spacial rifts opened up all around Origin. The rifts were innumerable and blue fists with the strength of heavens judgement came pouring ?onto? Origin.
Origin did not fret instead his thrid eye opened and fine strings started to spin a protective net around him.
BANG BANG BANG ….
Thunder like sound could be heard in the entire universe and even outside of it as the blue fists connected with the eerie glowing net.
Seeing Origin's mysterious power and how easily his attack got blocked 'God' could not help but frown from this outcome.
With a thought of his millions of silvery drones appeared around 'God', they looked like small silvery pyramids with a red glowing eye in the middle. All of them natrually faced Origin who was still gathering power.
Only moments later a storm of red lasers bombarded the defensive net. The attack only had little success as some of the threads started to tear apart but most of them were unaffected.
The drones started to gather and formed a huge behemoth of a mecha. It was completely silver and covered in red lines, it had giant limbs and instead of a human head it had only a red pit at the top.
Like a beast it landed on all four and grabbed onto the fabric of space for a better grip. Its 'head' was directed at Origin and soon started to gather red particles all around the universe.
Clang Clang Chink Clong!
With robotic noises the innerworkings of the gigantic robot started to rotate and like a light generator the accumuated red energy was pumped further into its barrel like head. A red ball floated before the gaint and it clearly held power far surpassing trillions of suns.
The glowing orb was shoot directly at Origin but it seemed to be suspended in mid-air, it slowly crawled towards Origin but this made it even more so frightening.
Origin with no way to escape, because it would break his defense, could only watch the mockingly slow energy ball moving towards him.
'God' could not resist to snicker as he saw the hatred in Origin's eyes for making the attack intentionally slow, as if 'God' had all the time to finish Origin off.
As the red globe collided with Origin's net it exploded in his direction, creating a giant cone of destruction behind Origin.
As the metaphorical 'dust' settled only Origin and 'God' were left, the mecha got self destructed by the blast wave of his attack (what a moron).
'God' did not stop his onslaught and created a 'small' creature (it was still around hundred meters tall while the mecha was hum... maybe many suns tall?). It had the body of a bull and the head of a wolf with thousand black horns sprouting from its head. Its teeth glittered in yellow and white with occasional lightning zapping between them. The abomination had eight legs and four eyes and was bulging with muscles.
Each step it took towards Origin caused the space to tremble and with a loud ear piercing roar it started its death charge.
Even Origin knew that this monster had power only a few stretches below himself. The mecha was the same but now his nigh absolute defense was broken and he had to take the charge head on.

Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

8 109Game Dungeon
A recently deceased man finds himself imprisoned in a prismatic gem, confused and missing pieces of his memory he wishes to play video games, but to his horror, he is stuck in a world of sword and magic. Hello! I am the writer of Game Dungeon thanks for your feedback! Although my intentions were not to insult the reader I can see how someone would think that way. I have no plans to change it as of now and it's better to put it out there as a warning that I use a lot of words with similar meanings but are used very irregularly. Honestly speaking my English teacher was weird and a lot of words I use are more complicated than they need to be, but again something I was drilled into was not reusing words apart from "I".

8 202Try Again
How do you picture the phrase, incapable of dying? Invulnerability? Invincibility? Immortality? Whatever word you choose, it seems like a useful ability to have, right? While others might think it would be great to never die, I think it might just be a curse. Would you choose to be incapable of dying if it meant that every time you were going to die you just restarted your whole life all over again?
