It turns out that making yourself into ammunition to be tossed at something in order to invoke primal fission through a direct existential collision is not a good idea after all. There is a risk of cracking the consciousness of those that volunteered themselves as ammunition. No one told them that when they were keeping for the job. In fact, by all logic and the reasoning of all that is possible, this shouldn't be happening.
Fortunately for the gods, their attack ultimately won the clash. Theirs is a dynamic attack. They have protective mechanisms put in place to protect them from the fallout of a collision. They also have the divinity to replenish lost energy and power. So while the Static Black skull reduced in power, theirs remained constant and eventually won the clash.
"That was unexpected but things are still on track. We can still do this." Zernon said to the reeling Stelios.
It was unexpected that the demon king could produce an attack of such magnitude either by copying it or creating it himself. Zernon knows about demons of envy and what they can do. He also knows that they can't do what just happened even if they are demon kings.
The attack of the GodSlayer is chaotic and powerful. In a sense, it is not a single attack but 5 different attacks made to look like 1. A demon king capable of copying it will have no need for a demon stronghold or the culling of churches to weaken gods. They will be able to singlehandedly take down the divine plane and kill all the gods in their prime.
A demon of that power has no need for schemes. What use are schemes when pure power is easier and faster? So he didn't expect this retaliation from a demon king that pretended to be a high-rank demon and his in the mortal realm. But now that it is over things can go on as the gods planned.
The power of the GodSlayer's attack remained the same even after the black skull was eliminated and they are still en route to the demon king. The attack is undodgeable after all. All seems to be well. They had a minor hiccup along the way but things should be smooth sailing from here on out.
Zernon looked around and couldn't see the other two Celestials. They are gone and so are their Authorities. Unlike the other Celestials who got into the GodSlayer and were loaded together with their Authorities, these two were only vestiges with their Authorities within the GodSlayer. These vestiges are not part of the original power of the attack and as such cannot be replenished.
Zernon didn't have time to think about the possibilities or repercussions when another black skull appeared and locked onto them. Aeternus had raised his claymore and produced another attack similar to the first one. The sight of the second black skull sent the possibilities of their absence to his mind unbiddenly.
"This is impossible." He screamed in panic.
Stelios joined in. "You have doomed us."
It turns out that all is not well. It is one thing for the attack to be copied at all, to say that it can be copied twice is just absurd and bogus nonsense. But that absurd and bogus nonsense will be their doom because that black skull still has five horns with five symbols while they have lost two Authorities. It is 5 against 3 now instead of 5 vs 5.
They watched as the black skull zoned in on them and clashed head-on with them again. Their world turned upside down and they thought they would die. The pain didn't threaten to overwhelm them this time, it overwhelmed them. Their consciousness was rent apart and was on the brink of collapse. They were so close to death that they would have died if they didn't have any divinity left. But they survived. It cost them all their divinity but they survived. That skull was vanquished against all odds for the good of all giant kinds.
"Let's hope this will still work." Zernon thought to himself.
He didn't say it out lest he jinx them. They didn't come out of that clash unscathed. They have lost a lot of power but they still have three Authorities. The damage they can cause has reduced drastically but they can still damage the demon king. This is what they planned from the start anyway.
His eyes widen silently as he saw the third skull racing towards them. He didn't even bother to exclaim. He does not doubt that they would die here.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ 'Maybe I shouldn't have locked the god of fate away.'
He began to feel regret for how he has treated the god of fate. The assistance that the god of fate and life rendered indicates that they might care about the plane and want to get rid of the demon king. They both have issues with him but they still added their Authorities to the attack. They might fight but they came together when the plane needs it the most.
Who could have known that the demon king is an impossibility made possible? Who could have known that he can replicate their attack? The demon king replicated the attack not once, not twice, but three times now. No one in their right mind can expect such a thing. He didn't expect it at all. If he had he would have implored the god of fate and the god of life to assist him so that their attack will be at its strongest.
"Wait a minute. If there is someone who could have expected this, it has to be that god of life that worked with the demon king."
The thought of the god of life made him realize something. He realized that maybe it wasn't so unexpected after all. The tree father used to work with the demons and might know what the demon king is capable of. If that is true, then he is at the wrong place at the right time.
