Chapter 1621 Fate? What's That? Author's Note: Unedited Chapter -------------- The clash between Angy's blade and Gustav's barrier created a shockwave that rippled through the surrounding area, sending Jack flying since he was currently unable to defend himself. Gustav could feel the strain of maintaining the barrier against Angy's relentless power. 'Could it be...' Gustav mind raced with theories. 'Angy's existence has been altered and... Yarki is only effective against beings from this plane?' Gustav felt a strong urge to completely incinerate Falco's father at this moment. His chest glowed up at this moment as a golden beam gathered and shot at Angy. Thooommm~ It burst forth with unfathomable power, ramming straight into Angy and sending her hurling across the air. "If I have to beat sense into you to bring back Angy, I will!" Gustav stated while springing forward with extreme speed. He caught Angy's horn in mid air and spun her around before flinging her in a particular direction. Angy flipped continuously across the air and slammed into a mountain, causing it to blast apart while her figure kept trailing forward without slowing. Gustav's figure turned into a streak that followed her closely while arching his arm backwards to deliver another powerful strike. Gustav's muscles rippled with newfound strength as he battled Angy across the world. Every punch he landed sent shockwaves through the ground, causing tremors that echoed for miles. Angy fought back with equal ferocity. Her half-black and half-white form was a blur of motion as she countered his attacks with her dark blade. "You need to snap out of it, Angy!" Gustav roared, ramming her into a mountain. The peak crumbled under the force of their collision, sending rocks and debris cascading down the slopes. Angy writhed and twisted, her eyes burning with a crazed intensity. Her half-black and half-white form radiated an eerie power, and her inverted horn gleamed ominously. She lashed out with her dark blade, aiming to slice through Gustav's defenses. He caught her wrist mid-swing, twisting it with a force that made her drop the weapon. "I will show you what it means to be a Cosmic Superior being!" Gustav declared while thrusting two fingers toward Angy's chest. His fingers crackled with energy as a reddish and golden cross formed at their tips. The cross phased through Angy's body, expanding rapidly. Angy's eyes widened in shock as the cross pulled her entire being towards it, binding her in place. "Cosmic Separation!" Gustav's voice echoed with a powerful resonance. Angy screamed in agony as the cross began to split her apart. One half of her was pure white, the other pitch black. Her body convulsed violently, the process tearing her in two. The splitting caused her to cry out, her voice filled with pain and confusion. "Auuugghhhhhhh!" Angy's voice, a blend of desperation and torment, reverberated in the air. But Gustav was relentless. He pushed harder, focusing all his willpower on completing the separation. Beads of sweat formed on his brow as he poured more energy into the cross, determined to free her from the corruption that had taken hold. Angy's body continued to split, the division nearly complete. Her screams intensified, echoing across the desolate landscape. Just as Gustav was about to succeed, another horn burst from the other side of Angy's skull. Her power surged, and with a primal scream, she broke free from the cosmic bind. Her eyes flared with an even greater intensity, and her form glowed with an unearthly light. She lunged at Gustav with newfound strength, her strikes faster and more powerful than before. Gustav tried to counter, but she was too quick. Her blade slashed through his defenses, sending him flying through the air as a giant gash appeared on his belly. 'Fuck, if I hadn't been any slower, I would have been split in two,' Gustav eyes narrowed in disbelief. "You can't keep this up forever," Gustav said through gritted teeth, wiping blood from his mouth. "I won't let you." His belly merged together as he charged at her with blinding speed while his fists glowed with cosmic energy. Angy met his assault head-on, their clash sending sparks flying in all directions. The ground beneath them cracked and splintered, unable to withstand the force of their battle. Angy unleashed a barrage of strikes, each one faster and more precise than the last. Gustav deflected most of them, but a few landed, leaving deep cuts on his skin. He retaliated with a powerful uppercut, sending her skyward. He leaped after her, meeting her mid-air with a series of crushing blows. Gustav attacks didn't necessarily do much damage but each of Angy's attacks were completely devastating. Their forms barely visible as they moved at incredible speeds. The ground beneath them was torn asunder, the air crackling with energy. "Remember who you are, Angy!" Gustav voiced with a strong tone. "Remember us! Remember everything we fought for!" For a brief moment, Angy's eyes softened, the darkness within her receding. But then, her resolve hardened, and she attacked with even more ferocity. She landed a powerful kick to Gustav's chest, sending him crashing through several buildings. He emerged from the rubble, bloodied but undeterred. He charged at her with renewed determination while Angy met his assault head-on. "Angy, stop this madness!" Gustav yelled, his voice echoing through the ruins. However, Angy didn't spare him a in the slightest as they collided once more. Their clash shook the earth, their blows causing shockwaves that leveled structures and uprooted trees. Angy's blade met Gustav's fists in a flurry of sparks and energy. Despite the pain, Gustav's determination burned brighter than ever. "You are stronger than this," he said, blocking a strike that would have cleaved him in two. "I know you're still in there!" With a burst of energy, Gustav activated his Cosmic Seperation hoping to subdue her. The glowing cross in his eyes intensified, casting a radiant light that bathed the battlefield. Angy faltered for a moment, but her new horn seemed to shield her from the full effect. "Die!" She growled as her blade cut through the air with deadly precision. Gustav managed to evade at the last second but the dark residual energy sent him flying. Gustav gritted his teeth, trying to keep up with Angy's relentless assault. His muscles ached from the constant exertion, and every blow he landed felt like it took more out of him than it did her. She was a whirlwind of destruction, her inverted horn gleaming with malevolent energy as she attacked with relentless ferocity. Angy's expression remained blank, her eyes devoid of recognition as she pressed the attack. If it wasn't for regeneration, Gustav would have long been a goner. Meanwhile, Jack was struggling against the overwhelming power of Gustav's Cosmic Superiority. The oppressive energy had since brought him to his knees despite bearing the title of world strongest, but he wasn't one to be defeated easily. Channeling his bloodline abilities, Jack formed a space construct around himself, causing his being to vibrate at a different frequency from the current plane. The world around him shimmered as he phased partially out of existence. In this state, Jack was both on Earth and not, allowing him to bypass the effects of Gustav's Cosmic Superiority. Once free, he prepared to launch an attack. Gustav, caught up in his battle with Angy, sensed the shift in energy but couldn't fully grasp what was happening. His eyes widened as Angy suddenly vanished from his sight. "Where did she go?" Gustav muttered, his eyes scanning the area frantically. Before he could react, Angy reappeared behind Jack with a speed that even Gustav's eyes struggled to follow. The dark energy she emitted turned the sky to night, her blade materializing in her grasp once more. "No!" Gustav shouted as his frame shot through the darkened landscape but his speed seemed to have reduced drastically. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 In a blur of motion, Angy sliced diagonally with her blade while Jack rushed backwards with light speed. The air was filled with the sickening sound of flesh and bone being severed. Jack's eyes widened in shock as his body divided into two halves that fell to the ground, blood jetting out like a crimson fountain. "I evaded... How did she..." these were Jack's last words as he stared at the other half of himself getting swallowed up by darkness. "Angy, stop!" Gustav cried while rushing towards her, but he was too late. The deed was done. Jack, the strongest Mixedblood, lay in disintegrating pieces on the ground. "What did you just do?!" Gustav lost all compusure as he screamed out but a fuse was instantly lit in his mind. His heart pounded in his chest as he recalled the vision of the future. It was happening right before his eyes. 'Does this mean...' Gustav immediately leapt backwards, distancing himself from Angy. 'I need to go,' He tried tapping on his dimensional bracelet but Angy suddenly appeared before him with her blade thrusting forward. ("Watch Out!") The system screamed in his head as the blade rippled through the air, aiming at his chest.
