Angelo sat in his mindscape covered in blood as the trickster loomed over him.He got up as he tightly gripped his shoulders.
The whispers of countless souls surrounded them, but their pain was no longer inflicted onto Angelo, who stood shaking.
Worms and snakes maggots and serpents started to drop from angelo's eyes and ears moving through his body as he stood their shaking.
Behind angelo was the amalgamation of hundreds of tentacles and worms stretching out around the space.
"None of you have power. I have the power, and I'll destroy all of you."Said Angelo, as several giant wings popped put from his back.
A long black sword with purple markings appeared in Angelo's hand as he looked at the trickster.
"Let me out."said Angelo softly as he raised his blade.Angelo vanished, sending horizontal slash towards the tricksters neck.
The trickster smiled, ducking beneath the blade as he pulled out a card from the codex and sliced off angelo's leg.
Angelo's leg instantly regrew as he jumped back.Release voudaju ability "consciousness for a dead treat."said Angelo as red and blue voudaju faced around his body.
"Act one rage stage one murders knowledge."said Angelo as he sent several slashes towards the tricksters body.
The trickster danced around them as he appeared behind angelo, slamming his face into the ground.
Angelo's body turned in darkness and sunk into the shadows as several hundred blood arrows flew from the ground towards the trickster.
The trickster pulled out a card as a mirror appeared behind him. Several holes were then pierced through angelo's body as the blood arrows vanished.
The tricksters then smacked angelo across the head with a cane as he was sent flying.Angelo gritted his teeth as ice surrounded his body.
The entire mindscape then became an artic desert of ice and snow as hundreds of snow droplets rained down towards the trickster.
The trickster pulled out another card as the hundreds of snow flakes moving at Hypersonic speeds flew through his body as us he was transparent.
Angelo appeared behind the trickster as a giant ice spike grew out of the tricksters leg, causing him to drop to his knees.
Angelo then sent a horizontal slash towards the tricksters neck, but several chains then came from the ground rapping around his arms.
Angelo's arms turned into mist as they sunk through the chains reforming, but his slash missed the trickster who appeared behind angelo
Angelo was then kicked in the back of the head and zeny tumbling down the snow as the trickster pulled a card from his coat.
Before angelo could roll down the cliff, the terrain shifted into a volcanic area, causing angelo's to fall into a lava pool.
Angelo burst out of the lava pool as purple flames engulfed his body.A wave of flames then flew at the trickster who charged towards the flames.
Holding out a card which obsorbed the flames, he threw another card at Angelo who doged it, but the card turned into a giant purple chain which attached to angelo's back.
The trickster then yanked angelo towards him, punching him in the gut." Your voudaju ability and stolen techniques are useless, for I know them all."said the trickster.
"How unfortunate I rather hate having to clean your messes. Just know when you wake, you owe me."said the trickster as hundreds of chains rapped around angelo's body.
"Release me, you bastard do it now, or I'll get rid of you for good."Said Angelo."Watch your tone, boy, and that time away from your father makes you lose all respect."Said the trickster.
"I'll fuse with them all. I will become all powerful, and that means you will be all powerful. Join me."said Angelo.
"Sorry, but I've learned that nothing good comes from taking deals from you in this state."said the trickster.
"Their the reason I'm like this if they were selfish if the wealthy didn't watch children starve.If the lustful didn't attack the innocent I would be benevolent but the fact that I am not proves that I must restart."said Angelo.
"The world may have more bad than good, but there is enough good where I don't see I need for you now, so shut up and wait for the ritual."said the trickster.
"Fine then you, and that book can burn in my new hell."Said Angelo as the chains around him shattered the pieces disintegrating as a smile came on the tricksters face.
"Don't even bother this world is barred off from the others your body cannot absorb enough negative emotions to manifest those abilities."said the trickster.
"I'm not am idiot I know that, but one thing you neglected is that their might be a slight breech in that barrier."Said Angelo.
"You are the result of negative energy corrupting our phyche their was never a doubt in our mind that you're not the sharpest tool in the shed."said the trickster.
"Oh, really then, how come I'm the one who comes out when the hard decisions have to be made? You pretend to be innocent, yet still you had me do the massacre.
Look around at these dead beings how many were brought here due to you and not me. I'd sat around forty percent."Said Angelo.
Just then, a purple saber appeared in the tricksters hand as he charged at Angelo.The two blades clashed as the ground beneath them shook.
Purple eyes looked back at each other as the cidex's pages began to flip."You may be stronger than me, but that doesn't matter in the slightest because in here were all equal."said Angelo.
"And it's only a matter of time before she's aware, and then I'll be free.Alternate state of being stage one hope."
Nosra and anancy stared fairly at each other, the destroyed terrain showing their feirce clash."Alright, I call a truce."said anancy as he lifted up his hands as a form of surrender.
"I accept your truce, but you better not try to sleep tonight."said nosra."Damn, that was good entertainment shame it's over."said Ivan as he got off the stump.
"Ivan wasn't your job to not make them fight." Ivan turned and saw an old man with a long whitebeard and a bald head wearing an orange robe with a brown medallion standing over him.
"Oh, please master chiya, nothing has been happening lately, and I've been bored."said
Ivan.
"Aren't you supposed to be training honorima and neojara."said master Chiya.Anancy then walked up to the two as nosra picked up Mimica as he started to walk off.
"And you, I bet you weren't even aware he was gravely injured."said master chiya."I'll admit I'll take full responsibility for that, but this is urgent while fighting nosra. I felt one of the strings start to vanish."said Anancy.
"One of the strings is one of angelo's family members is dying. Send me out there now."said Ivan.
"It's not just that the string is vanishing, and it belongs to mikel, and the only time this happened is when we fought the parasite that shall not be named."said anancy.
"What are you sure I heard the stories of? If I remember correctly, sir iodine was created specifically because of those things."said master chiya.
"Yes, and the worst part is if any more of us leave the barrier will crack so i can't go and assist the two so I'll have to hope iodine will be able to get their."Said anancy.
"I may not he able to change much from here, but I can help."said anancy.Anancy closed his eyes as he appeared in a dark space with over a thousand strings surrounding him.
Anancy's p.o.v
I stood among many strings, some long some short each representing all the things I can weave to my whim.
I do not like being in here for every time I pass a string. I can't help but get the urge to weave, then change them.
You wouldn't understand the rush i get from weaving the world to my whim.But unfortunately, since last time, I'm no longer allowed to room freely.
"But surely just tugging a few won't hurt."I said, extending my arms towards the strings.I grabbed my hand as I looked down towards my palm.
I must hurry with angelo's state of mind. Staying here will inly accelerate my descent to
depravity.
I continued to walk no sound beneath my footstep as I moved through the trillions of strings around me.
After a few minutes, I reached an almost transparent string that was slowly
disappearing.
Several of my eyes opened as I saw the translucent strings' true state several worms munching down on the string, causing it to vanish.
I unknowingly licked my lips as I looked at the worms.They said iodine was created to counter all deception well as his twin, you can say, were the exact opposite.
While he may counter deception, I specialize in it, and to see my greatest rival so boldy attacking my prey in its weakest form, it gives me unbridled rage unbridled hunger
I found myself holding the string as I vanished appearing in a dark pit.Around me, I felt countless worms moving up my skin.
I gave a sly smirk.The audacity of these things how dare they touch me, I suppose I little snack couldn't hurt.
I covered my mouth as my extra eyes closed.No I'd I do anything here. Things would only get worse it might accelerate my descent into madness.
I pressed on moving through the lake of worms and serpents when suddenly hundreds of eyes opened up above me, peering down at me from below the shadows.
"Don't even think of it. I personally don't want you to die, so don't attack. You'll be another toy in my collection."I said arrogantly.
The worms then started to wiggle around rapidly as they lached on to my to skin.Several giant tentacles then came from the shadows attempting to rap me around like a serpent does it's pray.
"Good, it's going according to plan."I said as the tentacles rapped around my body."Just as dumb as the rest of your kind."
IODINE'S P.O.V
I looked at aluro in suprise as I suddenly thought back in my mind my memories of mikel were hazey at best.
Suddenly, realization hit me as dread came onto my face."Aluro, can you teleport us?"I asked hastildy.
But suddenly, the building we were on collapsed as several giant tentacles flew from the rubble attempting to Lach onto us.
The beetle dropped behind me, attempting to grab us into a giant bare hug.But my body sunk into pure white light.
The light beam then fused with the tentacles as I raised the light beam down to the ground as I landed amidst the rubble.
Several large chunks of meat then dropped down around me as my eyes started to glow.Black and purple flames engulfed my body as my blade connected with the old man's cane.
The ground beneath me then became liquid mercury as the heat melted the lower end of my jeans.
I then coughed up blood as the air in my body started to expand, causing my make shift lungs to pop.
The beetle then slammed its claws into my back, nearly ripping through my body as I flew through the air, still holding aluro.
The beetle screamed as the giant air waves caused my ear drums to burst as I dropped to the ground on my back.
Several worms then attempted to crawl up my skin."Etnac."Several centipedes appeared my body as they started to frantically crawl over my skin, devouring all the worms.
They spread over to aluro, who I stood over.He had exhausted all his emotional energy, and with the man who was live streaming dead, we won't recharge any time sound.
I grabbed my sword and spear as I tapped my forehead."So one is alive, how troublesome, it's only the first stage, something I can easily beat unfortunately my true form can not be now.
Alex should still remember mikel only if he witnessed the possession first hand, so he's the key.
I contemplated what to do as I felt the two approaching."Damn it, what would angelo do!"I shouted in frustration.
"We could do that, no, even with angelo present, we couldn't do that and bear the consequences, not to mention now."
I suddenly had a realization as my weapons vanished beforemy eye's.I picked up aluro as he looked me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, aluro, this is gonna hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me."I said."Shut up and do it, you bastard."said aluro to me as I scoffed.
"You know I don't feel as bad anymore."I said as I placed my hand on his face.I then placed my fingers around his left eye as I plucked it out.
He grunted in pain, but I wasn't finished. I ripped off his left arm as he cursed at me.A scale then appeared in front of me as I put the arm on the eye on both the scale hands.
The scale then glowed as I smirked."Verdict determined eye of truth, and hand of the executioner shall be granted."said a deep, mysterious as I was engulfed in light.
My left eye then turned silver as black markings were engraved on my right hand ."You have ten minutes make it count."said aluro.
"I will."I replied as the air around me grew thin.The giant ugly beatle then slammed its claws towards me.
As I swung my blade up vertically in a counterattack, it caused his arm to fly into the air as green blood dropped onto the ground.
Solid mercury spikes then grew from my abdomin as I coughed out blood.The beetle swung it's,other claw as I couldn't help but grin.
"Unfair court."The mercury spike then vanished as I grabbed the beetles claw, snapping it off his
hand.
He roared in pain as i tapped my spear on the ground.All of a sudden, a chain fkew from the Beatles' neck as I grabbed it.
"Damn, are you kidding me? I can't even use one percent of my abilities, and that's all the power they have compared to the original."I thought to myself.
I then yanked the chain around the Beatles' neck, but just as I did, I was neck deep in liquid gold.
The old man stood floating above me a distance look on his face."Any last words, cardigan?"he asked foolishly.
"Just these few verdict one only I break rules."The old man's eyes went wide as the liquid gold vanished, replaced by a sea of darkness.
But only this time, he was the one sinking along with his ugly pet while I held two chains connected to both their necks."
"Judges verdict say goodbye to miracles."I said as my left hand glowed as I was about to yank the voudaju from their bodies.
I don't know what happened. All I saw was my hand flying into the air and the chains shattering as a foot connected with my skull launching me away into a building.
I crashed through the building, flying through office tables and chairs, finally crashing through glass as I landed on the opposite street.
Where i saw aluro, who had barely managed to teleport towards me.I raised my head as I was filled with disbelief.
"Erojamica you how are you still alive? we killed you."I said in surprise."Nice to see you too iodine or should I say iodinas the false order."
