《Conquer {BLEACH}》(79).
Advertisement
Far away from Karakura Town and Soul Society, laid a barren canyon.
In its heart were two small gods.
Aizen laid on his broken back, his six wings ripped off and standing over him was Agito in her full glory of War. One of her feet pressed Aizen down, a clear symbol of dominating for she was winning their fight. In her hand was her spear, the head pointing down and ready to strike Aizen in his heart.
Upon her face was a smile as cruel, she certainly wasn't going to heaven any time soon.
"Do you know what weapon I hold, Aizen?" she teased. The spear in her hand was of holy bronze, carved within every inch runes of a more ancient tongue depicting power, curses, and magic so old, the air reeked with it. The tip of the spear was the sharpened fang of the last living leviathan, the only enemy the gods every had to fear besides themselves.
"To be a god ... and worry about your weapon," Aizen said through coughs of blood, "How mortal of you."
"You might know it as the Spear of Destiny," she said, not even minding Aizen's silence, "A god-killing weapon."
His eyes widened at the realization as Agito raised her spear higher.
"And thus your life as a shinigami ends!" Without a single hesitation, Agito skewered through Aizen's Hakusui, destroying his spiritual powers just as Byakuya once took Ichigo's powers away.
The resulting explosion was surprising.
The nuclear warhead that was his power exploded and Agito was flung back. With her six wings, Agito managed to get her feet under her in record time, eyeing the tower of pale blue light erupted from where Aizen once lay. She didn't even have to ask מִיכָאֵל if they succeeded. He was apart of her as she was of him and they both knew that they successfully killed off Aizen's shinigami abilities, leaving behind a mortal man.
But then the tower of pale blue light warped and twisted. The light corrupted into black and purple, reiatsu feeling more like dark energy and untapped power. It multiplied, and turned more potent than Aizen's usual transformation. The tower of inky black light suddenly slumped down, power turning into some oily residue that started eating like acid upon the earth. Brand new wings fluttered open, larger than his last ones, with hollow-esque heads on the crest of each wing, upon the leather spread were eyes, eyes everywhere.
From the inky splash stepped out a being of pure terror. Six wings and six tails, its face split down the middle from its human skin to reveal a black skull with three eyes and a maw full of needle sharp teeth. Its feet were one-toed talons, its hands were six-fingered claws. Down it's chest were three holes to symbolise the heart, spirit, and mind of the human beneath was gone.

Its purple eyes opened.
The Hougyoku was here.
" the being said, "
Its voice was that of grinding glass, the last breath of death, a star falling into a black hole. It raised its head to the sky, thunderclouds silent from their lightning.
It screeched into the air, it's power thrumming with excited anticipation,
Agito had killed the shinigami behind the godly power of the Hougyoku, stripping the soul of power gave the sentient jewel the perfect opportunity to take over Aizen's physical form, entering existence on a plane where no god could touch.
The monster before her was the true Hougyoku.
From one of the heads on the tip of its wing, a cero of incredible power started to form, a bright white color that reeked with dark chaotic energy as all Creation gods had. It shot out and the resulting energy wave tore the rocky canyon wider.
Agito raised her spear into a javelin throw, the tip of her weapon piercing the attack dead on.
But it's power overcame the Spear of Destiny.
The energy lashed out and the resulting explosion was that of a H-Bomb erupting in the distance, throwing Agito back.
Her spear wasn't broken, but it was considerably weakened seeing as how one attack from the Hougyoku was able to overcome the dark magic of the weapon. She didn't have long to plan her next attack. From the blast, the Hougyoku flew through the pillar of erupting energy, cutting through the air to catch Agito around her throat.
All of its eyes opened. All of its mouths opened and nuclear ceros began to form surrounding her. In a split second, Agito crashed all six of her wings together in the ultimate defense.
It wasn't enough.
Seven H-Bomb comparable ceros aimed point blank at her fired and the resulting explosion reshaped the canyon and surrounding forest into a vast and empty plain on nothing. The thunderclouds were pushed far away, leaving the sun to shine down on the battle as their only witness.
The Hougyoku was standing over Agito's body.
Her wings were in tatters, bone and muscle twitching from the residue energy still eating away at their physical form. Her armor was shattered barely clinging to her body and blood streamed out of her wounds in copious amounts. Her crown was gone. Her hair had returned back to it's normal blue.
Agito and מִיכָאֵל were too weak to fight against the Hougyoku. מִיכָאֵל was a god of War. There had to be war first before he was ever conceived. But Creation Gods were different. Creation gods were sentient beings of inconceivable power that simply became.

Yahweh once said, 'Let there be Light' and there was for he spoke himself into existence. מִיכָאֵל was no match for the Hougyoku.
Thank you, מִיכָאֵל, for your welcome the Hougyoku said,
Existence without question? What do you take us for?"
The sun eclipsed.
The world turned to darkness.
The Hougyoku flew back, instincts raging that whatever was coming wasn't something to make light of. It was right.
Black ooze poured out of Agito's eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and wounds. It surrounded her like a pool and she sank into the depths. The black kept growing, a bottomless pit, the true essence of the abyss, it just kept absorbing light and shadow. The world turned cold and reeked with dread.
the Hougyoku suddenly said,No! Why can I not live! I just want to exist! Why are you here?!"
Why said a voice with an accent of dying stars, destroyed worlds, and the essence of nothing, Do you not understand what I am?"
Out of the abyss rose a figure that was once Agito.
She had no eyes or nose, or mouth. Her skin was pure black, like the night sky had stripped itself of stars and made itself flesh. Her hair was nothing but a writhing mass of tortured shadows upon her head, covered in a nebulous cloud of dark energy, stars bursting into life and dying in brief flashes upon her crown. Shattered starlight fell from her head and dripped down her body to the tips of her bare feet like flakes of gold. She wore a robe of black shadows, the abyss made light of, all of it swathed around her in no discernable cut, flashes of stars peeking through. Upon her shoulders was a mane of the Beast God.
The Hougyoku watched in horror as the face slit down the middle, something twisting underneath the skull as white bone peaked through the cracks. Out emerged the unholy union of a dragon and wolf's maw, its teeth gleaming in silver-light. With no muscle, the being grinned.
...
It had never given Agito a name but for the Hougyoku, this small Creation God, it gave a name.
A name was everything.
With a single utterance, the Hougyoku was assaulted with omniscience.
They were ... something that couldn't be understood. Not by mortal knowledge. In the beginning, there was never nothing, for there was sentience and to have sentience was to have power and to have power before the creation of the cosmos was to be the definition of will. It was after then did the Creation gods came, after after them did everyone else: Michael, Gabriel, Soul Kings, and shinigami.
They were Before creation. They would come After creation. They were Everything the cosmos could ever be. They were of the Nothing.
But this singular entity had given a name to their sentience.
And the Hougyoku knew how to speak the language of the gods.
This being was-
" it said,Good. Prey should know when in the presence of death."
The Hougyoku flew away.
Flying with its six wings and beating tails, the Hougyoku flew light fast, tearing through the barren plain, trying to get as far away as the other being as soon as possible.
That being was-
That being was-!
Too slow."
It was here. It had flown faster than light, warping the fabric of space, time, and distance to its desire.
The Hougyoku screamed in desperate fight, shooting off it's nuclear ceros rapidly, trying to fly faster and ward of the entity.
For it was-
You," it said, absolutely unaffected by the attacks, the nuclear ceros being absorbed into it's blackened abyss, Cannot run from Destiny. Even the gods fear Destiny."
A rotten limb of living diamond, a past relic of a more ancient race, reached out of the folds of abyss and grabbed the Hougyoku, yanking it close.
The Hougyoku was flipped onto its back, crashing into the ground and the being towered over it's trembling. The being had once again transformed. There was no humanoid form beneath the black shadows, the rips of space and time, the writhing mass of patch work limbs to create this cosmic monster. Limbs of liquid black, arms of alien races, past civilizations, extinct organisms clawed out of the dark. Its body quadrupled in space, the Hougyoku the rabbit beneath the wolf. It's head was still that accursed abomination; Dragon and wolf, melding together with a lion's mane of flames.
Within the skull, two golden eyes stared down at the little Creation God.
This was Destiny.
The abyss poured forth.
The Hougyoku screamed for one final time.

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.
