Chapter 1015: World Ending Battle Back in the crater of New Hope, a world-destroying battle had begun and the Ascendants had the upper hand, the Left Hand of God had descended into the crater, and from its five fingers it was shooting out streams of a corrosive beam that could slice a star in two, tearing apart any chance for the four Ouroboros Serpents to heal, and unlike their normal flesh, this one of stone was a thousand times harder to regrow. The Ascendants used this advantage to keep the serpents on a back foot. They summoned gigantic weapons, their Natal treasures, all of whom glowed with various distinct colors that signified the type of powers that they had mastered in their lives, and they tore deep into the bones of the serpents cutting large chunks out of it. In millions of years of battle, they had learned techniques that utilized all their potential destructive abilities to perfection, and the six Ascendants worked seamlessly as they butchered the serpents. The terrifying lights, heat, shockwaves, and other mystical phenomena shattered and widened the crater that New Hope had become, and the clash of the Ascendants and the serpents could no longer be contained, as the surrounding ocean began to pour towards the battlefield. Yet a single shockwave or a flash of light would evaporate billions of gallons of seawater, and instead of the battlefield being covered by water, the opposite was happening as the massive hole caused by the ongoing battle was expanding, evaporating the ocean for miles and pushing them farther back, exposing the bedrock at bottom of the ocean and also blasting those apart until what remained was the flesh of the Calamity God that extended underneath the ocean. The madness of the serpents increased from the damages they were taking, the unexpected explosion from the Null charges had ripped all the flesh from their bodies, including their eyes, leaving them with nothing but skeletons made from rocks. These Avatar bodies were not equipped with the necessary organs to extend their senses much further, and only the constant fuel from the two serpents below eating the Calamity god gave them enough juice to heal their bones, yet their enemies were not simple, they had the advantage and they did not let go of it, and before long they isolated a single Ouroboros Serpents and maneuvered it in a position where they could collectively attack it at once. The six Ascendants channeled all their power to their weapon in a single instant that eruption of power pushed the entire ocean back for a hundred miles and darkened the sky for a thousand more, enhanced by the power of the Left Hand of God, and they collectively created a blade of black lightning hundred of miles long, and with it, they sliced into the neck of the serpent. The scream of that Ouroboros Serpent was cut short as the blade sliced off its head. Its massive skull, now measuring more than fifty miles in diameter slid off from its neck, but as the head fell, its body contorted in a manner only their serpentine frame was capable of, and its neck snapped forward and caught its falling head, but it hung crookedly. The power from the blade prevents the wound from closing. The Ascendants would not allow such an advantage to slip from their fingers, they smelled blood and they ruthlessly attacked, they were going to cut these serpents into manageable pieces. In the throat of the Ouroboros Serpent with a crooked skull, a white flame bloomed, and in its empty eye sockets a red flame was born, but because its head was facing the ground, this change was not noticed. The six Ascendants had surrounded it, pushing back the three Ouroboros Serpents that wanted to rescue the wounded serpent with large blasts of force, and once again, the entire battlefield widened with a groan for a hundred miles as they charged their killing techniques, creating three blades of black lightning, and at that moment the ouroboros Serpent roared. Due to the crooked state of its neck, the sound that came from it was disjointed and eerie, but what followed that roar were two flames, the red flames that signified the Flames of Penalty, unique to Celestials, and the white flames of Lost. The flames burst out from every hole in its head and neck like a thousand exploding stars. The three other Ouroboros Serpents that 'allowed' themselves to be pushed back also opened their mouths and a mixture of red and white flames that were miles in diameter and burning with so much heat it was as if a star had been born in the world shot towards the Ascendants from behind. The blade meant for defense was transformed to defense, as the Ascendants stood back to back with the Left Hand of God that had shrunken itself so it was barely a hundred feet was at their center and pushing power into the bodies of the Ascendants. Yet it was not enough. These two flames contained properties that were alien to this world and it tore their defenses to pieces, and the world around them began to shatter to pieces, and the ocean dried up for a thousand miles, and the clash was growing hotter. From the Ouroboros Serpents, the flames they channeled seemed unlimited, and with the trait of the flames of Lost, the first fire in existence, its heat only grew as moments passed and the defenses from the Ascendants began to shatter. The battle had suddenly shifted and in the moments where the flames were supposed to wipe out the Ascendants, something else occurred. The Null Charges explosion that Noah Rithmast had induced was not yet over, the first explosion was only the start, the root energy of what made Null Charges possible suddenly manifested itself. The possibility for this to occur was slim, nevertheless, at this moment that possibility occurred. Tiny holes in reality were ripped open, they were countless, and they existed in barely a fraction of a second, but in that single second, everything, even reality, froze, shattered, and vanished, leaving billions of tiny voids in the air that became equal to billions of black hole appearing in a space of barely a hundred miles. The flames from the Ouroboros Serpents vanished, sucked away by the black holes, and their bodies were shattered into pieces as millions of black holes erupted from all around their bodies, even the Calamity God below was not spared, as its flesh was left with millions of massive craters. The black holes vanished, leaving the Ascendants Explorer unharmed but the Ouroboros Serpents in pieces. The Ascendants had no time to catch their breath however because at the moment the sky turned blue and red, and a flood of Purified Aura slammed down from the sky. The broken bodies of the Ouroboros Serpents were not enough to consume this energy, but the purple cube at their tail was strong enough to attract it. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 The cube began to draw in the ocean load of Aura and as it grew, its influence over the Ouroboros Serpents increased. In a corner of the battlefield where the stone eye of a Primordial Ouroboros Serpent lay, something changed as the stone eye developed fine cracks, and within was a golden glow, as the iris of the serpent, transformed to flesh.
