There's nothing more devastating than the darkness hidden deep into a kind, loving soul.

*Chapter 63 - The fury of Nature *

---

Killer panted as he was slammed backwards an enormous eruption of magma, as a new volcano grew up right beneath his feet. The titanic male stumbled as one foot sunk deep into the cauldron, the incandescent sea of lava unable to sustain his weight, as his other foot shifted, seeking stable footing... before it caught on the rock edge of the volcano, but crushed it into dust, his toes crumbling one side of the new mountain, crushing it flat onto the ground and sending an ocean of liquid fire spilling onto the wasteland around him. The tsunami of magma consumed everything it touched, scorching the land and burning Metatrons and monsters into ashes as the god crushed the volcano underfoot like it was a mere anthill.

Killer grunted in pain as the magma shot up in geysers, wrapping all over this legs and up on his chest and back: despite his dominance over fire, the fury of Nature was such that the lava proved too hot even for him, causing his flesh to smolder painfully, the flames tearing into his thick, enormous musculature. He gritted his fangs with a growl of pain and rage, but he just leaned down harder atop Gaia's body, crushing her against the Holy Barrier as her eyes continued to gleam with the malicious light of Shi's own.

She roared with crazed rage, bucking hard against him, her fangs having gone grotesquely large with her transformation and growth, her drool leaking onto the divine barrier and making it sizzle as it tried to burn through, like a super-powerful acid.

"Come on, Gaia... come back. You can do it..." Killer urged, leaning down to talk into her ear, even as her hair attempted to murder him, the normally calm and crystal clear water making up her long mane now resembling an angry ocean, which washed over him in giant waves, before icing up over his eyes, into his nose, all over his head and chest, spikes forming and pushing down into his flesh and sending crimson flashes filling his vision.

He threw his head back with a snarl of agony, shaking it from side to side and using his energies to try and force the ice to melt away, before he coughed blood as her bangs of watery hair turned into solid tendrils of swirling water which shot into his chest like arrows.

Lemuel shouted something that Killer did not hear, his ears filled with ice shards which were trying to spear all the way up into his brain, but the huge male managed to open one eye to see a flash of pure, warm and holy light shooting across the water tendrils, severing them all and sending the waters back down into calm, almost serene flows.

The god of Light was adding his weight and power to Killer's, trying to keep one of Gaia's arm immobilized, pinned against the holy barrier, but it wasn't simple at all, since her magma armor burst with dark fire at the lightest touch, and flames were consuming the god's hands, his fingers burning down to the bone and painfully regenerating, the lion nonetheless emboldening Gaia, his voice occasionally trembling because of the pain but staying otherwise incredibly warm and gentle. "Gaia, please, wake up. This is not you. And you can stop it."

"You deluded idiots... I'm not letting go of such a deliciously powerful body." Shi's voice teased, coming from Gaia's mouth. Killer was tempted to punch those lips into paste, but it wasn't Shi he would be hitting, but lovely Gaia. Every time he had to strike her down, it hurt him to the core, and he was horrified by it all. He absolutely did not want to damage Gaia's body any more than was absolutely indispensable... but Shi, of course, did not give any thanks for such care, only exploiting his reluctance to strike to launch even worse attacks.

Killer grunted as he felt the magma covering his body turning thicker, flowing slower, and he gazed down to see it solidifying quickly, turning into solid obsidian stone, slowing down his movements as he was encased by a newborn mountain... before he roared in pain as Gaia managed to slip one arm out of his grip, and she clawed backwards into the stone, her fingers wrapped in icy mist.

A freezing, impossibly cold whiff of wind surged into the still incandescent obsidian stone, and Killer gritted his fangs with a groan of agony at the torturous, deadly mixing of extra hot and super cold, uncontrollable shivers running through his body and his lungs nearly exploding with pain as the stone turned brittle.

Shi's laughter rose high as he used Gaia's body to donkey-kick backwards into Killer's body, sending the huge male crashing backwards with a howl of pain as the stone exploded in a hail of fragments... which dragged with them large chunks of his legs and arms and abdomen as his flesh became one with the ice, exposing the bones in several places.

Killer fell to the ground, squishing monsters and Paladins alike under his immense form, their presence no longer noticeable such were his sizes. He hissed in pain, swallowing thickly as his regeneration worked hard to repair the damage, but he immediately pushed back up to his feet, even if his legs trembled violently for a moment.

Gaia, however, had more than enough time to turn her attention completely onto Lemuel, the goddess turning around with a cruel grin, shoving a hand into his chest and blasting forth an enormous vortex of fire, water, stone and wind, which all hammered together into the lion, literally drilling his thick armor into metallic shreds before devastating his body, blood splattering out thickly as his eyes bulged wide, his mouth opening in a breathless scream.

Even so, Lemuel did not let go of her, showing all his courage and strength... before he pulled up his other hand, swinging his heavy, golden warhammer against the goddess.

Gaia snorted and moved her hand to intercept the blow, but her eyes widened as the hammer became pure, blinding light, passing through her guard before smashing into her hip, back in full solid state. Gaia was slammed to the side with a grunt, and the vortex dispelled, letting Lemuel take a pained breath, as drool and blood leaked out of his mouth, his chest ground into shreds of bloody flesh and broken ribs sticking grotesquely outwards.

The lion's eyes bulged in surprise almost in the same moment, however, as his hammer sunk deep into Gaia's body... and he realized that her flesh had turned into water, letting the heavy weapon pierce into her without doing any actual damage.

"Check this out..." Shi's voice mused, before Gaia's lips crested in a cruel grin which definitely wasn't hers. "I'm getting a better grip over how this body work... and boy, does Gaia even have useful traits..."

Lemuel winced and swallowed thickly, trying to drag back his hammer... but the abdomen of the goddess turned from water to crystal, trapping the weapon inside, only the thick pole sticking out of her belly as Shi laughed loudly.

Gaia's arm moved up, and thorny tentacles sprouted from her wrist, assaulting Lemuel's vulnerable chest, thrusting inside his wounds and filling them with acid poison, which burned his flesh away at the same time as it turned his organs into blackened, corrupt and dead sacs of meat... before Killer swung Wyvern down in a mighty cut, chopping the tentacles. Lemuel stumbled backwards with a grunt of pain and shock, panting hard even as light shone with blinding force into his devastated chest, burning the poison into vapor, consuming the remains of the tentacles and quickly rebuilding his insides. The god of Light fell to his knee with a violent cough, vomiting blood and poison, and Killer stood before him, facing the laughing, possessed goddess. Her body changed substance again, as she became a shape entirely made of water, and Lemuel's warhammer was sucked into her body, flowing up across her chest and down one arm, until she seized it into her hand, her body solidifying again. "Yes... I'm learning more and more about how to use Nature to maximum effect." Shi murmured, grinning widely as he lead Gaia in a charge against Killer, the goddess dragging the enormous hammer behind her before lashing it out in a vicious uppercut.

Killer slammed the flat of Wyvern into this, the two weapons crackling with energy on impact, as a flash of blinding light went off from the hammer, causing the huge male to shut his eyes with a grunt, as flashes and shadows exploded in his vision.

He dropped his shoulder nonetheless, throwing his massive body forwards into Gaia to tackle her down. Shi swung out the hammer again, but Killer ducked on instinct, and moved under the blow, shooting his hand up to seize into the long pole.

Killer was still pretty much blind, but he clearly heard and felt the grunt of surprise of Shi... before he screamed in pain as Gaia's body dissolved into countless gusts of wind which shot right through him, like supernatural bullets, sending him crashing down to his knees, bleeding from a thousand wounds. He panted hard, completely without breath, his vision only now trying to return, and pain burning in every inch of his body... but still he pushed back up, spinning on the spot and lifting both Wyvern and the hammer, holding them up in front of his chest, even as Lemuel's weapon rattled violently in his grip, the pole growing white-hot as the hammer struggled valiantly to get back to its one and only owner.

Shi's laughter filled him with fury, but also helped him track the faintly visible wind streams as they climbed high into the sky, rushing towards Alexis in the distance.

"Told you already a few times... you are not going there." Killer snarled, his eyes glowing sapphire as he focused on taking hold of those streams. He couldn't catch them with his hands, but with his very energy he was pretty sure he could do it, and he tried to visualize them in his mind, before wrapping ropes of his enormous force around each of them. He dragged the ropes back as they became tangible and visible, thick golden chains which crackled with energy, firing bolts of force into the ground and across the sky, but Shi laughed as the streaks of wind, after being dragged back a bit, just dissolved and reformed further ahead.

"You can't catch the wind, no matter how strong you are!"

Killer snarled, snapping the golden ropes back and then throwing them forwards again, but Shi easily avoided them... before Killer looked to the side as Lemuel stood up and touched his arm lightly. The liger handed the golden warhammer over to its legitimate owner, and the lion held this up, the head of the heavy weapon glowing brightly as he sent a vortex of light and energy rushing across the sky, washing over Shi.

Reality rippled around the beam of light, and they heard Shi cursing and screaming in shock as the wind took a solid shape as Lemuel forced it to reveal its true nature. Killer stepped forwards and threw his ropes over Gaia's body as it reappeared in midair, and he grinned as the thick chains wrapped around her, squeezing her arm to her sides as he dragged her down to earth with a roar.

Shi snarled hungrily, using Gaia's body to struggle furiously against the restraints, but he was still slammed down onto the wasteland, smashing into stone and lakes of magma as the huge male pulled her back, away from Alexis and the others.

Suddenly, though, Gaia's eyes flashed with a victorious gleam, and her body changed again, losing its shape as she became water, a new ocean which splashed onto the Fourth Sky and washed away everything that hadn't yet been pulverized, crushed or burned. The ropes fell once more through, floating uselessly over the waters as Killer and Lemuel both backstepped, cursing under their breaths as the new, dark sea quickly spread all the way to their feet.

Lemuel quickly swung the hammer in his hands, turning it upside down and ramming the thick, massive head down into the ground, cracking the Fourth Sky like a piece of glass and sending a whole tectonic plate shifting, the stone rising like a massive tower, pushing their feet out of the water.

Shi's voice, however, came in a loud laughter from beneath the waves, as the dark waters surged up to the sky in a violent, immense vortex, a snake-body, made of raging waters and miles thick, formed across the Fourth Sky, spreading for thousands of miles, a body that was muscular, powerful, and pretty much impossible to damage. Gaia's upper body reformed as well, high above even the clouds, her size absolutely mind blowing as she cackled, looking down over Heaven with a grin of omnipotence, of cruel superiority.

"Oh, yes... this is more like it..." Shi's voice mused, tinged with a delight that was almost sexual as Gaia's body flexed, her arms still slender but toned, her fearsome strength catching the clouds and drawing them around her waist, giving her a belt made of supernatural, devastating storms. The clouds swirled and exploded outwards in blasts of darkness and red energy, apocalyptic bolts darting out of them to strike Heaven with the force of atomic bombs, immense explosions turning whole towns and regions into blackened, desolated craters as reality trembled violently all around her, the very fabric of time and space beginning to crack and deform, dragged towards her body, attracted to her unfathomable, destructive power.

Her serpentine body wrapped around the whole of the Fourth Sky, squeezing it with brutal force, the ground cracking apart and crumbling into plates of stone which were further consumed as magma erupted up from the depths. The fury of the waters forming her titanic body was unstoppable, washing the Fourth Sky entirely away, annihilating the very ground, and turning a whole circle of Heaven into nothing but a smoldering pit of magma. "You are starting to look like specks of dust, heroes...!" Shi roared, cackling in delight as he unleashed more and more of Gaia's power. What was left of the Throne suddenly exploded into nothing but gravel as her spires wrapped around it and crushed with unstoppable force. In the distance, Killer could see the valley that he had nicknamed Ira's Garden, her little hideaway: it now glowed sapphire as his energies still protected the place, which he had involuntarily turned into a Sanctuary to himself when he had taken Ira as Disciple. The coils of Gaia's titanic body were squeezing viciously down onto the barrier, which sizzled and crackled with energy, glowing a bright sapphire as it resisted valiantly... And the Holy Tree was caught in the very center of her godly spires, the now naga-shaped goddess looming above the sacred plant, which no longer looked immense in front of her titanic form. The barrier that Elelyon had raised so many Eons before was still resisting, but it now glowed a bloody crimson color, cracks spreading through the dome as it groaned loudly.

Killer and Lemuel were caught by the waves, titanic tsunami walls of water ramming into them from all sides as the rock under their feet disintegrated, and they were thrown around like dolls, the liger shutting his eyes for a moment as he sunk deep into one of her spires, the streams catching him and slamming him from side to side, ramming into him like trains, making him scream in agony as his ribs snapped. It only caused water to flood his lungs, violently, as he was dragged deeper into the dark ocean, where everything was darkness, where the cold was paralyzing, torturing him like a thousand spikes driving into his flesh and into his very organs; where the pressure was unbearable, making every movement a challenger and painfully compressing his ribcage.

Flashes exploded in his vision as a loud, terrible whistle filled his ears, his mind clouding up and his consciousness almost slipping away even as he struggled to swim upwards, away from the absolute blackness beneath. His wings beat as best they could, trying to propel him upwards, but his bones groaned loudly, painfully creaking as he struggled against the tremendous pressure. His left arm trembled violently, then painfully bent backwards as he tried to swim against the terribly powerful stream, the huge male gritting his fangs in pain but deciding to let the stream carry him further down. The waves pushed him violently, spinning him around... and he shoved both hands out as he found himself facing the bottom. He blasted out two huge beams of golden energy, which burned the water into vapor and formed a cavitation bubble, the pressure on his body lifting as he exploited his own energy to propel himself back up towards the sky.

He burst out of the water with a racking cough, vomiting water and blood and taking in a deep breath of air, his chest heaving as his ribcage tried to adjust after the tremendous squeeze he had suffered. He gazed around himself quickly, but all he could see where spires of Gaia's titanic body, stretching for dozens of miles into the sky and from horizon to horizon.

He swallowed thickly, fearing that it might be too late to stop Shi at this point... before he saw flashes in the dark, raging waters, and was relieved to see Lemuel breaking out of the sea, carried by a spear-shaped beam of light.

Killer flew towards him, but had to fold his wings and dive like a bomb to avoid one immense spire which lashed out towards him. He shot beneath this, the raging waves roaring as they passed merely feet away, splatters of dark water hitting him after turning into daggers of ice or stone, tearing holes in his wings and gashes in his back. He flew around the spire, then along another, keeping an eye on the movements of her body as it surrounded him from all sides, before climbing vertically up into the sky.

In the distance, he could see Taranis had grown even further, but he was nonetheless struggling for life against the enormous watery serpent wrapping around him. Alexis, Ira and the others, while smaller, could be seen battling in the distance, flashes of light and lightning bolts of energy crashing in and out of the waves. Further away, he could see Gaia's spires smashing their way over the third and the fifth Heavens, flooding and destroying whole towns and valleys, washing mountains away like anthills... and he gritted his fangs as he saw the Monarchs of the various Skies appearing to try and fight Gaia back. Things were getting worse by the moment, and they went sour further as Shi spotted him, and the goddess's immense snake body moved to squish him, two enormous coils rising on either side of him.

He drew the Azura blades out, the swords glowing as his energy flooded the blades as soon as he touched them, and he swung one in either direction, sending crescent-shaped blades of energy cutting through the coils, just as he focused on icing her body over.

It was a terrible idea to use an elemental attack against Gaia, but he couldn't think of anything better, and at least it gained him time, as waves were turned into sculptures as her body iced over, just before the blades of energy sent the two coils exploding into shiny shards.

He flew higher into the sky, getting out of the way as quickly as he could, only snorting as he saw the spikes and fragments of ice shooting up against him, as her body immediately reformed, undamaged. He had expected nothing more, and he just slashed the Azura blades back and forth to knock the ice daggers away from him.

Gaia shifted slightly, and her infinite serpent body rushed towards Killer like a wall of raging waves, the huge male grunting in shock and flapping his wings to move backwards, away from the roaring sea... before he gritted his fangs and focused his energies instead, and he wrapped her form entirely into a freezing mist, turning her into a statue of ice, before he struck her with a blast of pure, sheer force.

Alexis, on the other side of the battlefield, had the exact same idea, the two lovers acting in perfect coordination even though they weren't talking to each other, and didn't even have a visual link.

Gaia's body exploded, crushed from the two sides by two gigantic fists of psychic force... but again, it was just a way to gain a few seconds, as even as the goddess burst into a billion small shards of ice, she was already reforming, only exploiting the chance to send her own pieces swirling violently around, forming a tornado of ice, wind and fire, as the magma was sucked up from beneath and thrown against her enemies.

Killer brought the Azura blades up in front of his body, almost leaning his forehead against the flat of the blades as he focused on forming a spherical barrier around himself, grunting at the recoil from the monstrous series of impacts that followed... before he swung the blades out to the sides with a roar, sending out a blast of energy which slammed the spikes of ice backwards and into Gaia's chest as she reformed in front of him.

"Cute..." Shi teased, grinning through Gaia's muzzle as the ship-sized spikes of ice melted back into water well before striking her, only adding to the shapeshifting dark ocean that formed her body. "You really aren't much entertainment at this point..." The monster mocked, before a second torso and head in the shapes of Gaia formed on the other side of the battlefield, looming over Alexis, Ira and the others.

Killer stared at this in shock, realizing that Shi was getting more and more access to Gaia's fearsome abilities, growing stronger and stronger by the second. He flew back away from her immense form, closing his eyes with a shiver of both horror and lust in front of the revelation of the extent of Gaia's limitless power... before snarled as he focused his own energies, his size growing even further as golden flames of pure force covered his body, making him glow brighter than the sun.

Gaia snarled against him, leaping forwards with the roar of a million tsunamis... but Killer's hands shot up and seized into hers, even as the rushing water shot through his skin and flesh like a laser. He staggered backwards, but found his balance with a flap of his colossal wings, pushing back against her as he turned the water into ice.

Her hands became solid and brittle, crumbling in his grip, but Shi only snorted in contempt as he pushed on, not even bothering reforming them, instead sending the waters twisting around into two sharp, long cones which spun faster than the tip of a drill. Gaia's watery body also split into slender tendrils, all ending in cruel spikes of swirling water, as Shi cackled and stabbed those forwards into those opposing him.

Killer was ready, however, and he shut his eyes, biting into his lip as he let his energy erupt out of him, into an explosion of golden, supernatural fire, a solid wall of impossible heat which made the water tentacles sizzle, boil and evaporate, dissolving into a thick fog.

Shi was taken by surprise, as Alexis used the same strategy to dissolve the second Gaia torso, and Lemuel took the clue, shooting high into the sky and swinging his golden hammer into it: there was a loud, deafening roar of thunder, become the dark, oppressive clouds that Gaia had spread all over the Heavens were shattered, falling apart like shards of glass, a circular hole opening in the sky as the other clouds began to circle around it, as a sort of tunnel formed above them, stretching higher and higher across deep space... and Killer gaped as he looked upwards to see the Sun rushing down the dark tunnel, the heat growing unbearable as it came closer and closer, its flames bursting out in licks as the light became simply blinding, everything seeming to turn bright white before simply becoming impossible to spot.

Killer closed his eyes shut, but even so, the light nearly blinded him, sending flashes in his vision. Gaia's body was caught right under the beam of light and heat, and her form was burned into a cloud of vapor, a thick fog which lingered over the battlefield.

"Fascinating, old man..." Shi's voice teased, coming from somewhere within the huge cloud. "But Gaia is air, is vapor, just as she is water. And she even is the Sun."

The cloud of fog seemed to explode, expanding dramatically and swallowing them all. The smoke moved far faster than any of them, and Killer immediately found that there was no way to get away. In a second, he was enveloped, and he found that his vision and even his other senses were completely crushed, leaving him floating in an unnatural, impossible silence, where the only feeling was pain and pressure.

The last sound he heard before the blackout was Lemuel's scream of agony as an explosion of fire from the surface of the Sun caught him and dragged him down deep into the ball of fire, before the star was kicked back up the tunnel, repealed like a mere tennis ball, as the clouds swirled closed again, roaring with Gaia's tremendous energy.

"Gaia is everything, fools." Shi's voice said, booming in their minds, in their soundless, obscure agony. "She is poison..:"

Killer winced inwardly at that, knowing what was coming, and feeling his brain almost literally bending on itself as an unknown agony cut through his already pained form. He couldn't see, and he couldn't even feel anything other than sheer pain... but nonetheless, he knew that his veins were flooded with a terrible poison which was literally aging him at super fast rate, his muscles losing their glorious bulk, his flesh becoming flaccid and weak, his bones brittle, before his decay got even worse as he began to rot like a corpse. "How do you like the old age...? Nature wants that we age... and eventually, She wants us dead."

Lord Killer, Lady Alexis... you two, especially. Amazing that you still manage to keep your minds connected... but I assure you, not for much longer. Shi's voice whispered, dripping with cruel amusement as it slithered directly into the ligers' brains.

Killer tried to build walls between himself and the pain, Ira's teaching echoing in his thoughts as he tried hard to keep focused and lucid. Pain is a state of mind. It can be controlled.

He managed to push back the agony somewhat, focusing instead on the movements of the "hands" messing around in his mind, until he almost saw them, guessing Shi's silvery figure as the monster tried to cut the mind channel... and Killer snarled, letting his energies surge from his uncorrupted core, from his inner being. It was a rush of power of monumental proportions, his chest bulging out as his size almost doubled on the very instant, as a thick chain glowed into view for a moment before exploding in a hail of tiny fragments, as another of the Seals holding him restrained was pulverized.

Killer grinned as the pain receded almost entirely, his body now eagerly drinking of the poison, sucking it in, absorbing it like it was just another meal, just more fuel for his power. The aging immediately stopped as his heart beat with new, eager vigor, pumping raw, unrestrained power into every inch of his body. The rotting stopped, his flesh healing, and he began to grow bigger and stronger instead, his muscles bulging even larger than they had been as his eyes glowed an intense sapphire.

Killer could still visualize Shi in his mind. He was there, standing over the connection between his and Alexis's minds, one arm held high up above his head as it morphed into a long blade, before Shi swung this down as he attempted to sever the connection like it was a physical cable... but on impact, his sword shattered into shards of metal, as golden energy shone down the tunnel, reinforcing it.

Shi looked up in shock from this, recoiling with a grunt of pain, before the pieces of his arm melted and were absorbed back into his foot, allowing him to easily regenerate. He paled, however, as he saw Killer approaching, the liger towering even more than usual, his body massive and flexing with excess vigor, glowing with golden energy which crackled loudly around him...

Before Alexis walked up behind him, looking just as deadly, one of her own Seals dangling from her hand, the chain quickly dissolving as she grinned predatorily, seizing Shi by the shoulders and forcing him to his knees. Killer pulled up his foot, spreading his toes and wiggling them as if to mockingly salute the silvery monster... before he stomped down hard, throwing his head back with a grin as he drank of Shi's scream of desperate denial.

Shi was squished into a splatter of silvery metal, before sizzling out of existence, expelled from Killer's mind, repealed far away from the mind channel... "You are not going to cut our link, Shi. The connection between me and Alexis is way too strong for you to be able to dent it."

And suddenly, the fog retreated, shrinking back towards the centre of the cloud, amassing there, as Killer and the others opened their eyes, finally back into the world. A world burning and devastated, but at least one where they could fight, and where their senses resumed working.

The fog writhed and swirled as if in pain, Shi's voice coming from it in a pained and furious snarl, before thick tentacles of vapor wrapped around Killer, Alexis and the others, before the fog solidified into a strange, sick mix of meat, muscle, wood and stone: the appendages were part vegetal and part animal, thickly armored in ancient bark and obsidian stone, and they all came from beneath Gaia's waist. The goddess's torso was unchanged, back to natural, her fur hidden by her thick armor of stone, metal, air and water, but from the waist down she was still a serpent... or better, a tangle of serpents and tentacles which wrapped around them and whipped down cruelly over the other Skies of Heaven, scarring whole regions with deep craters and canyons, whipping out towns and villages, slapping them into dust.

"I can still kill you all." Shi hissed, looking furious as he leaned forwards to glare at Killer: even at his current sizes, even being miles tall, Killer was still tiny in comparison to the immense goddess, her muzzle alone bigger than his whole body.

Killer glared back at him, pushing against the enormous tentacle wrapped around him, until he felt chilling shivers down his back as the temperature dropped sharply and, more importantly, something very sinister moved by, his senses unable to quite track it, but easily understanding its terrible dangerousness.

A black cloud formed between Killer and Gaia's muzzle, the darkness taking on a solid shape, a gigantic body wrapped in a torn, ragged black cloak as Thanathos, god of death, took his place on the battlefield.

"Death is my field, Shi... always remember that." The dark god's voice said, coming in echoes like it traveled an immense distance before reaching them... and as one of Gaia's enormous tentacles whip-lashed against him, it passed right through, only causing the ancient cloak to flap a bit in the wind.

Thanathos's eyes glowed crimson as he flew closed to Gaia's muzzle, and Killer stared in amazement as her eyes filled with tears, as the alien, malicious glint in her expression, which betrayed Shi's presence, flickered in and out of existence, trembling violently.

There was the noise of a mouth opening, a hungry, sick inhaling, and Killer shivered as he felt energy leaving Gaia's body in a thick, steady flow. Even his energy was absorbed, even though he was behind Thanathos: the beautiful golden flames around his body were rapidly extinguished, Killer feeling his forces depleting and gritting his fangs as he moved back away from him, trying to get to safety.

Gaia shrunk slightly, her body withering in pain as she was robbed of her own vital force, Shi almost vanishing from her eyes, but still frantically searching for an ability that would allow him to overrule even Death... And finally, he seemed to find something, as the gleaming light turned back on in her eyes, and the monster asked in mocking: "Would you like to be a tree...?"

Thanathos snorted contemptuously at this, but then his eyes lose some of their crimson glow as he gagged and suddenly arched his back in pain, a sick gargle coming from his throat.

Killer found himself assaulted by the same horrendous feeling a moment later, as his airways clogged up with something which slithered and grew up into his in his lungs, then up his esophagus, tendrils moving into his veins and wrapping up into and around his heart. In horror, he stared as Thanathos's mouth was forced wide open by the sprouting of thick branches, which curled up over his face, growing into his eyes, stretching higher up over his skull, as his body became stiff, bark spreading over him.

A moment later, Killer himself felt his neck bulge as thick branches grew up into his mouth, forcing his jaws far apart as they grew over his face. He closed his eyes and reached up with both hands to rip branches and pieces of wood out of the way, but they grew faster than he could rip them apart. He used fire, letting flames erupt all over his body, but the wood continued to expand nonetheless, actually snuffing out the fire.

Killer wanted to scream, but he couldn't, his lungs and mouth filled with wood, before cruel thorns cut through him from within, and the growing branches crushed his eyes in with growing force, making him shake his head in panicked denial.

Even Thanathos seemed not to have a way out of it: the tree that was growing out of him continued to die, the merest contact with the God of Death being a lethal draining, but even as the branches withered away to blackened, rotten skeletal stumps, the sprouting continued all the same, the branches growing as his body was rapidly encased in a trunk.

Killer drew out the Azura blades and stabbed them furiously into the tentacle holding him, shoving the blades deep through stone and wood and flesh and ripping them back, opening wide trenches and terrible wounds in it, even as his arms became heavier and stiffer by the second. Finally, he managed to chop the tentacle, and he fell towards the ground along with it, the gigantic appendage slipping away from him but his wings not responding, already painfully encased by bark and branches.

Killer screamed inwardly as the branches finally crushed his eyes into pulp, blood rolling down his cheeks as his head pounded with agony and chock, before he blindly seized into the stump of tentacle he had cut, even as the appendage whiplashed madly across the sky. He climbed onto this, purely on instinct, using the Azura blades to haul himself up onto the top of it... before he swapped these for the weight and mass of Wyvern, dropping the giant sword down onto the tentacle and charging forwards.

His limbs became stiffer, branches wrapping around them even as his muscles bulged with power and pushed back with sheer force, but he ran up the tentacle as fast as he could, slicing it in half down the middle by dragging Wyvern behind himself.

He leapt high into the sky as he reached the end of the appendage, his instinct guiding his movements, and he swung Wyvern up before stabbing it straight forwards, shoving the blade deep to the hilt into Gaia's body, before flooding her with his energies, trying to channel back through them the curse running in his veins.

He felt Gaia's body writhe and recoil back, but he couldn't stop, and he grinned inwardly as he heard Shi shrieking in pain and disbelief... before some of the bark fell off, and Killer accelerated the process by letting fire erupt from his form, consuming the branches, burning the wood down into ashes, until he was free, and he kicked back away from Gaia, ripping Wyvern out and swinging it. As one eye painfully regenerated, he saw blood flying away from the blade. Gaia's blood.

He swallowed pain and remorse and fear, but there was nothing else he could have done... he flew backwards, away from her, before seeing that Taranis had had his same idea: he had charged forwards. One of his legs had been torn off, turned into a tree solidly rooted into the ground beneath: Taranis had advanced even while his own limb was torn off his body. Now the bark was falling off him as well, his massive cleaver sword stabbed right through Gaia's back, the long blade sticking out of her front, right between her breasts.

Killer spotted Alexis and Ira, who stood in front of two of the other arms of the god of War, forcing his weapons back and away from Gaia... and a moment later he saw Vesta as well, pushing back against Taranis's mace.

Thanathos was free as well, floating high in the sky, surrounded by swirling, cold flames of death and plague, his eyes glowing with fury as he pulled on black chains ending in gigantic hooks pierced into Gaia's body, the god wrestling against Nature's tremendous force to suck away her vital essence.

Killer was torn about what do to... he felt the need to protect Gaia, to rush forwards and stop Thanathos... but he restrained himself from doing so. Gaia, at the current power level, was very hard to damage, and all Thanathos was accomplishing for the moment was very far from being lethal to her.

A moment later, however, he gritted his fangs in surprise and shock, his hair standing up on the back of his neck as he felt a new, fearsome force enter their dimension... and the dark clouds in the distance were blasted out of the way as a dark tunnel opened, crimson thunderbolts crackling out of it as a titanic foot descended into view, clad into an open boot of leather and steel, followed by a long, powerful leg, before the muscular upper body of Sekhmeth became visible as the lioness settled her feet on the ocean of magma, the fire not bothering her in the slightest as she grinned widely and flexed her massive musculature. A sandy, dry wind which was so hot to burn the flesh off the bones howled over the battlefield as the goddess's eyes glowed with eager bloodlust, and she simply swung her huge, strong arms upwards, her firsts smashing against the sky like it was a solid dome, cracking it like glass as reality trembled violently, tearing like a piece of cloth for all the length of the Fourth Sky.

Killer looked in awe at her fearsome destructive power as she grinned and sent the large, triangular shards of sky crashing down against Gaia, while magma exploded upwards from below, as an incredible blast of sheer power surged from the lioness.

The goddess of Nature was hit fully, her long coils and tentacles torn into shreds and pieces, her torso torn apart with tremendous ferocity in the series of enormous explosions that followed, making Killer cringe as Sekhmeth laughed and literally sent the sky hurling against Gaia.

Killer was distracted only as a white portal opened to his side, and Lemuel came out of it, his armor smoldering and melted out of shape, the lion panting in exhaustion.

"Lemuel...!" Killer exclaimed, rushing towards the god as he saw the lion stumbling... but the god of light held up a hand, wheezing a bit, before straightening with a grunt. "No time to waste, Lord Killer..." The lion urged, before taking a quick look over the battlefield, cringing at the sight of Thanathos and Sekhmeth, before he looked down at the Holy Tree. It was still there, the barrier amazingly still holding up. "Lord Killer, we are losing control of this... you must bring Gaia back, quickly. Because with Sekhmeth and Thanathos on the field, we won't be able to keep things in check. Either Shi takes over Gaia entirely and wipes us all out... or she'll end up destroyed." The lion cautioned, looking Killer in the eye.

"I know, I know..." Killer said, before adding: "I'm working on it... help me for just a little more, Lemuel. We can bring Gaia back. I promise you, I'll bring her back."

While the battle raged outside, Killer was fighting also inside Gaia's mind, inside her very inner core. Alexis had been extraordinary, establishing and maintaining a wide, effective connection channel. She had found a weak spot, a place of her mind that Gaia had consciously managed to protect from Shi, using it as an access point. Effectively, she had anticipated Killer's and Alexis's plan, and had begun working on her own to make it possible for them to save her. Killer could only admire that. It was a further demonstration of her skills, experience and intelligence. That saved Killer time and energies, as he did not have to fight to do the initial breaking in... Instead, he walked into a calm, peaceful glade surrounded by a forest so thick and intricate that it was easy to see why Shi couldn't see there. The trees were bent over the glade, forming a green shield. The branches criss-crossed to form a thick barrier, walls which couldn't be pierced and which were protected by carnivore plants and large tentacle-like tendrils hanging from many of the giant trees. In the middle of the glade, he had been welcomed by a battered-up Gaia, wearing a torn black dress and resting on her knees. She was not the "whole" Gaia, of course... like he had discovered when invading Torques's mind, each person has several very different and distinct personalities living in the mind. And what he found was one of the sides of Gaia's personality. Specifically, her purest and most innocent nature.

She looked up with a tremble, raising her head just enough to gaze at him, ashamed and fearful, and she only managed to murmur: "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." In front of her, floating in a translucent bubble of white energy, the images of what was happening outside ran like a movie. What Gaia's eyes were seeing, what was the bubble displayed, and it was a fearsome sight of power and destruction, with the Fourth Sky almost completely annihilated and the gods struggling to even just contain her fury. "This should never have happened... I will never be able to repay the damage I've done..." The goddess said, her voice trembling as she tried to repress her sobbing.

"You did all what could be done, Gaia, and then some more." Killer replied, his voice gentle and sincere, even as he hurried towards her, knowing that they couldn't afford to lose precious minutes. "You've held Shi back from your full power. You've resisted him for long enough that Alexis and I have been able to come up with this mind-link plan, thankfully... you've kept this door open for me to enter."

"I always knew you would come." Gaia softly said, smiling as she pushed up to her feet, wiping the tears out of her eyes with the back of one hand. "I knew you would help me. I knew I could trust you."

"And now we will make things right." Killer reassuringly promised, hugging her tightly as she buried her face in his thick, powerful chest. He admired her determination and strength, evident in how she had immediately leapt up, ready to act. He felt her sobbing in his arms, he felt her remorse and pain and fears... yet she gently pushed away after a moment, looking up at him with a quiet, apologetic smile as she said: "We should not waste time, Lord Killer... I'm hurting you and so many others, as we speak. We have to stop it."

Killer nodded in agreement, but did not let go of her right away, instead bending forwards slightly to kiss her watery hair, drinking of her perfume of fresh grass and flowers, impressed once more by her selfishness and kindness. "I love you, Gaia, remember it."

"I could never forget. I love you too." Gaia gently replied, looking into his eyes with affection as she reluctantly let his arms slide away from her shoulders, before they traded a small nod and hurried forwards, side by side.

The trees ahead straightened and lifted their huge branches up, opening a passage in the otherwise solid green barrier, allowing them to walk out of the safe area.

"I trust you are aware that I'm... just a part of myself, and not the whole Gaia." The goddess quietly said, looking unnerved and unsure about how to explain the problem... but a moment later she smiled slightly, almost letting out a sigh of relief as he nodded.

"Alexis and I tried this mind connection on Torques, before coming here... so I have a little bit of experience. I've also seen how messed up my own mind is, which... well. Maybe it does not help, but it does prepare me somewhat." Killer explained, before making a grimace as they walked past the luscious green and ended up into an arid, merciless desert where dunes and volcanoes alternated, and where rivers of boiling magma ran through rocky canyons. The sky here was dark and ominous, with black clouds swirling around spiraling streams of crimson, like the heavens had been repainted using blood. There was energy in the air, a lot of it. It crackled around them as they walked over the incandescent red sand, and it ran across the sky in flashes and thunderbolts, echoing with distant, loud roars.

Killer was glad he did not need air to breathe, because one fill of his lungs with the cruel wind of the desert was enough to make him scramble to stop his breathing. The air was incandescent, dry and heavy with dust, the wind hurting his face like someone was sandblasting his features, his eyes stinging even as he almost closed them.

In the distance, he easily spotted a tall tower of dark stone, rising from the desert and seeming to touch the crimson sky. Thick tendrils and tentacles connected the very top of the tower with the sky above... and as energy crackled visibly down along them, Killer realized that they were connections with Gaia's nervous system, perhaps direct links to her brain. The sky above them was not infinite, Killer noticed: they were inside some sort of incredibly gigantic cave, surrounded by walls on all sides, even if these looked an immense distance away. For all he could see from where he was standing, Killer guessed that the walls were made of flesh: they even seemed to flex and twitch a bit, at times.

He gazed over the tower with greater attention, seeing that it was narrow and sharp, having almost the shape of a blade pointing skywards. He couldn't quite spot any revealing detail, but it wasn't necessary: it was immediately clear that Shi was to be found at the top of the fortress. The problem would be in reaching him, and in forcing him out.

Gaia sneaked a gaze towards Killer, blushing a bit as she wondered what he might have done while in Torques's mind, and getting a few ideas of what had possibly happened... but she cleared her throat a bit and moved on with more pressing matters. "Shi has found an ally in... the other side of me." The goddess said after a brief hesitation. "The side of me that is usually hidden and repressed... The one that manifests itself with the storms, the earthquakes, the volcanic eruptions, the seaquakes, whenever I let my guard down." She looked at the desert, making a grimace at how dead and inhospitable it all was, before sighing as she pointed a hand at the environment around them as she sentenced: "As you see, it is a side of me who favors a far different kind of scenery."

Killer was not entirely surprised to hear it: he had pretty much expected that Shi would try to find allies in different sides of Gaia's personality. On his own, the parasite probably wouldn't have been able to take over Gaia's body. Hearing that he had guessed correctly, however, did not give him any joy. It was the worst case scenario, the one he had hoped it would be possible to avoid.

"I will try and get her to reason and to help us kick Shi out... but if that doesn't work, I will have to get past her." Killer said, looking towards the tower and feeling the energies of Gaia focused right there, at the base of the enormous fortress. She was there, waiting... she knows that we are here.

"I'm sorry, Lord Killer, but I won't be able to provide any useful help." Gaia cautioned, looking down at her feet as she rubbed a hand down a bloodied, damaged arm. "I don't have much energies left at all: when Shi allied with my ferocious side and set her free, I tried to stop them, but I couldn't. She almost killed me in the fight... and the little energy I had left, I used to set up the hiding place where you found me, and to keep the door open for you." She paused, and then sighed quietly, murmuring: "I'm so tired, Killer... my brutal 'sister' has not been hunting me down, thankfully. But Shi has... and keeping up the barrier and the cloaking not to appear on his radar has consumed all I had left."

Killer put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a small, gentle squeeze, smiling at her softly as he shook his head. "Never mind, Gaia. You did your part... I will take it from here."

Gaia smiled back at him with love, but then she snorted a bit and arched an eyebrow, asking: "You don't mean leaving me behind entirely, do you...?" She paused, studying him as he grinned apologetically, before she firmly stated: "I'm coming there with you. I'll stay out of the way, but I want to be there to... to..." She swallowed a bit, a shadow of worry in her expression as she tried to find the words. "... To step in and help you, if things get ugly. Whatever energy I can still give, is yours. But please... please, Killer. Promise me that you will stop me." She paused and looked at him firmly, eye to eye, her expression leaving him in no doubt about what she meant, as he swallowed a bit. "Whatever happens, you have to stop me, before I destroy everything. If this plan fails... if Shi can't be eradicated. Stop me. Kill me. But don't let me cause any more grief."

"Gaia... I..." Killer hesitated, looking down at her with his heart thumping in his chest. But she only gazed up at him pleadingly, with firm, unflinching determination. And in front of her courage, he couldn't fail her. He wanted to say no, he wanted to say that he would never kill her... but that would have been failing her. That would have been selfish, putting his wish to continue having her at his side before all else. "I... I promise." The huge male finally said, and Gaia smiled lovingly, taking his huge hand in hers, and pushing it up so that she could kiss the back of it, whispering: "Thank you, my love. I knew I could trust you, right to the end."

She looked slowly back up from his hand, caressing it slowly even as her eyes looked at the sky, as the spiraling tentacles of crimson light stretched towards them, the wind becoming steadily stronger, more vicious, blowing right against them, starting to twist around them, kicking up thick clouds of dust... and she closed her eyes, muttering: "Shi knows we are here. It really is time to go."

Killer nodded, feeling the sand shifting under his fingers as the dunes around them began to rise, growing like waves and moving to crash down on them. He moved to react, but Gaia quietly squeezed on his hand, and gave an almost imperceptible shake of her head, before a vortex opened in the desert, right beneath their feet. They let themselves slip down into the passage, vanishing from the spot right as the sand-waves smashed down, each grain of sand turned into a sharp blade, a wind of pure fire propelling them through the air.

A moment later, a distant dune split down the middle, the sand spinning as it was caught in the margins of another vortex... and Killer and Gaia re-emerged through it, the huge male looking up at the tower looming right above them, the desert roaring angrily behind them.

"Thanks, Gaia." The huge male gently said, and the goddess smiled back even as she panted hard, her legs trembling a bit as they walked onto solid dark stone. They were standing mere meters away from the edge of an incredibly tall cliff looking down into a circular cauldron of magma. The immense tower had her foundations in the exact middle of the lake of fire, and there was only one way in: a scary suspension bridge which stretched from the edge of the cliff all the way up to a door that had the shape of open jaws, the ropes holding the bridge tied to the massive fangs.

His attention, however, shifted immediately towards a number of large gun turrets built in recesses of the walls of the tower, as the long cannons trained quickly on them and opened fire. He stepped forwards with a growl, taking position in front of Gaia as he drew out both Wyvern and one of the Azura blades: he swung Wyvern out in a wide slash, using the flat of the huge blade to hit the shells in the first salvo, gritting his fangs as they exploded in a series of enormous balls of fire, shrapnel bouncing off his sword and his powerful musculature. He pushed the Azura into an upwards cut, chopping a shell in half right down the middle, the two halves falling uselessly to the ground before he swung back the blade and slapped another large projectile out of course, sending it exploding into a dune behind him. He took a step forwards into the bombardment, using Wyvern like a shield and snarling as the explosions pushed back against him as he channeled his energies into the Azura, sending a blade of golden energy slashing across the tower, tearing through several gun turrets. They crackled with electricity for a moment, the guns falling flat down as the power system failed, before they exploded into useless pieces of metal.

Killer turned to face the second battery, placed some distance to the left of the one he had destroyed, but his eyes widened in surprise for a moment as he saw the guns already exploding, crushed in the grip of an enormous, thorny tentacle.

He looked up past the edge of Wyvern, and saw the other manifestation of Gaia's personality was standing ahead, one arm held out and sprouting with the massive tentacle. She was in far better shape than her sister, and absolutely not in deficit of energy, that was immediately clear. She was clad in form-fitting armor, the plates made of incandescent stone veined with streams of magma, with clear water covering the junctures and, her fingers, her cleavage and throat, giving her maximum protection and complete freedom in her movements. Fire and ice spread from the sole of her boots with each step she moved, her sole and high heel discharging the creative energy of Nature with each little movement. She was toned and powerful, but slender: she had no bulky musculature, unlike Alexis or Ira. He could only see her mouth, as her head was clad into a helmet of stone and magma which also had a thick visor hiding her eyes. Her hair, made of clear water, flowed out from beneath the helmet, while long, green tentacles jutting with cruel thorns gave her a proud, deadly comb which moved slowly, hungry for prey. She had Oceanzor in one hand, her hybrid spear-sword, the long blade at the tip aimed skywards, glinting with flashes of sapphire light, like solar rays reflecting through a clear sea. The weapon was especially connected to water, and carried in itself all of the destructive power of the oceans, making it a fearsome threat.

He lowered Wyvern and shouldered Azura, but with caution, studying her and unsure of what to expect from her. The goddess, however, smiled warmly as she walked towards them, the tentacle retreating into her arm as she dropped it to her side.

Killer's eyes darted upwards as he heard a faint, distant buzz, however, and he spotted another battery of railguns, sticking out of an earlier floor of the tower. The armored Gaia saw them as well, and turned towards the tower with a snarl, a tremendous force seeming to explode out of her and the guns far above melting into a silvery paste as the electricity burned through the barrels.

"What do you think you are doing...?" Shi's voice boomed, and the goddess winced a bit and stumbled forwards, throwing her head back with a groan of pain as discharges of energy burned into her brain. Killer's eyes narrowed at this, looking over the scene in confusion, his attention focused on the details to understand what exactly was going on. In that moment, a translucent screen came into being in front of the tower, floating above them, and Shi appeared in it, snarling as he looked down at the goddess. "What are you doing, you useless slut...? They must not advance! Do you want to be thrown again in your old prison...'?"

"Shut up, vermin." Gaia spat, looking disgusted as she fought to straighten up, even as Shi pressed on a button and increased the force of the discharges of energy burning through her nervous system. "You aren't going to achieve much with your puny cannons. I will stop them myself."

Shi gritted his fangs in rage at her insult, sending an even greater discharge of energy into her, holding the button pressed for several more seconds before finally letting go, muttering: "Fine, bitch. Do it your way. But I will be watching. You better not come up with dumb ideas."

"I leave that to you." The goddess snarled, before swinging an arm out towards the tower, sending an enormous thunderbolt smashing through the screen, blowing it out of existence as Shi almost leapt back in shock, bouncing on his throne.

Killer looked at this with a small smirk, before looking out to the armored Gaia, asking quietly: "How can you let him do that to you...?"

The goddess snorted at that, turning her head to the side for a moment as she muttered: "I won't let him do that for much longer. He can't keep asking to use more of my power without me getting stronger... eventually, he won't be able to restrain me anymore."

Killer nodded a bit at this, but then looked straight to her face, asking: "Why did you let him take over in the first place...?"

She snorted at the question, like it was obvious, and leaned on her spear, pointing her finger to her other self, the weak and panting Gaia clad only in flowers and luscious green grass wrapped over her body. "My dear 'sister' there. She is the reason. She used to keep me on a leash, always imprisoned, unable to express myself."

"Every time I let you 'express yourself', you caused a cataclysm somewhere!" The other Gaia replied, even as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I tried, many times... but you... you have no sense of measure. You are not content unless massive destruction follows in your wake."

"Spare me your remorse and your lessons, sister." The armored Gaia briskly replied. "Nature is not just about creation. It is about destruction too. You cannot pretend that destruction isn't there, that it isn't needed and inevitable. You cannot keep me in chains forever." The armored goddess squeezed the pole of her spear hard enough to make it creak, as the ground around her first completely iced over, then melted into magma, before solidifying into obsidian stone, her rage continuously reshaping the world around her, as she turned towards Killer and angrily explained: "When Shi came in here, we could have kicked him out quite easily... but she couldn't ask me for help. That would mean freeing me, and she couldn't do that. Shi was my chance. He helped me to break out of my prison, and I'm not letting her back in the command seat just to end locked up again."

Killer swallowed, trying to think about what to do next, what to say... but only really realizing how much Gaia resembled him, torn between two very competitive and different natures. He wondered yet once more if Black Killer was just the worst side of his personality, or a completely different being, as he often felt. Black Killer, as always, ignored the question. Unlike in other key moments, he kept silent, and the huge liger ground his teeth together in anger at that, imagining the grinning face of his alter ego, almost hearing him laughing in his head, mocking his ignorance, reveling in the delight of keeping him in the doubt.

Killer walked forwards, aiming for the bridge, even as the armored Gaia stood right in his way, and didn't even hint at moving out of his path. "I would lie if I said I didn't understand your frustration, your wish to just let loose, and enjoy your power... but I must stop you this time. You are letting Shi tear Heaven apart, and it will either end in you getting killed, or in you killing others that I love. I can't allow any of the two things to happen."

Gaia grinned slightly at that, spinning Oceanzor between her fingers before pointing it at him as she slid one leg back and took an easy ready position, beckoning him forwards with one finger as she purred: "Then come and play, Lord Killer... I will take great pleasure in the crossing of our blades."

Killer sighed a bit under his breath, cursing the waste of time that he really couldn't afford... before he charged forwards, dropping Wyvern in a powerful sideways slash. The goddess stepped forwards with an eager, gamely grin as she spun Oceanzor quickly, slamming the butt of the pole into the ground before stabbing the long blade towards his chest.

Killer swung Wyvern back with a grunt, slamming the spear off to the side before grinning as he caught its tip between two of the large triangular spikes of Wyvern's blade. He jerked on the sword, twisting it around to snag the spear out of her hands, but the ground beneath him exploded upwards in a giant wave of icy water, washing him backwards as ice spread all over his body.

The huge male grunted as he launched himself forwards, easily ripping through the hard ice as he sent it exploding like shrapnel back towards Gaia. He stabbed Wyvern forwards, through Gaia's chest, grunting in surprise as she did nothing to get out of the way... before snarling as he felt a rush of wind moving past him and the body around the blade actually turned into white-hot magma before quickly solidifying into hard obsidian.

He turned around immediately, seeing the wind take on the shape of Gaia as she swung her spear down against him. He reached up for one Azura sword, turning his back towards her so that he could immediately slash his blade into hers, before he roared as he spun in the opposite direction, tearing Wyvern free as the statue of obsidian stone shattered into gravel. He spun on the spot, swinging the massive blade of Wyvern up against her, but Gaia leapt over it and stomped both of her boots into the flat of the blade, knocking it down and stabbing Oceanzor towards Killer's face. He let his weight shift onto the other leg, bringing Azura in front of his face, sparks flying from the blades as they clashed... before he charged forwards with a growl, swinging Azura outwards with all his strength, throwing Gaia away.

She flipped once in the air and then landed easily on her feet, laughing as she slid back, screeching to a halt as her feet dug trenches in the stone, turning it into magma along the way.

"Jumping over the blade like that is something Alexis would do." Killer commented, grinning amusedly as he straightened, looking at her from over the edge of Wyvern.

"I know she does..." Gaia easily replied, pulling up her spear and keeping it loosely aimed at him, the other hand extended out in a ready position, before her lips crested in a little smile as she added: "Alexis is one very lucky girl... She has you to spar and fuck with, all the time..."

"Well..." Killer coughed slightly, then stiffened his grip on Wyvern as Gaia became water and lost her shape, splashing down to the ground... before emerging from it right in front of him, grinning in his face as she swung her spear in an uppercut between his legs. He leapt back with a wince, thrusting Wyvern out in a wide cut, but Gaia once more became water, and the blade cut through her without causing damage, before she thrust her spear forwards forcing him to sidestep. She swung the spear sideways, the long blade doubling as a sword as she tried to cut into his waist, but he brought Wyvern to his side, using the large flat of the blade as a shield, before rushing against her, slamming the sword into her and sending her crashing backwards. She did a backflip in the air, then winked to him and dissolved into thin air as he shot a blade of energy from Azura, the huge male snorting in frustration as it passed through the air without causing any damage... before the wind became a tornado that smashed into him, tearing deep, bloody gashes all over his body as he was lifted off the ground and slammed back and forth in the vortex.

He snarled in pain and rage, trying to beat his wings to fly out of the tempest, but the wind was too vicious, tearing through them and forcing them flat on his back... until he focused energy through his arms, down to his fingers as he sent golden bolts crackling through the hurricane. It seemed not to have an effect at first... but after a moment, he heard Gaia's voice coming out in a groan of pain as the tornado twisted on itself and bent forwards... before whipping in the other direction, spitting him out and sending him crashing into the lake of magma surrounding the base of the tower.

He splashed back-first into the lake of lava, sinking deep into the viscous, incandescent sea, his control over Fire thankfully turning such a lethal experience into nothing more than a warm bath... before he grunted as the magma began to quickly cool down, solidifying into obsidian.

He launched himself towards the surface, swimming as fast as he could and using his enormous wings to propel himself as everything turned pitch black, and the sea became solid.

Killer smashed his fist through the surface of the lake, breaking out of the hard block of stone, hauling himself out and tearing large cracks in the monolithic block of obsidian as his limbs smashed their way through. He looked up with a snort, glaring at Gaia as the goddess watched him with a teasing smile, the female down to one knee as she studied the flexing and bulging of his enormous musculature. "You make for such a delightful sight, Lord Killer..." She purred, then playfully added: "Which reminds me of another thing of Alexis that I envy to no end: she has muscle. Massive, powerful muscles... I've tried to build up muscle all my life, even though my shy sister will never admit it, and just turn as red as a rose. But somehow, no matter what I do, I grow stronger and stronger, but never muscular." She paused, tapping her chin lightly and looking at the sky thoughtfully before snorting: "I suspect that my dear little sister is once more to blame... too shy to let her body become a more adequate visualization of her power."

She stood up with a shake of her head as Killer straightened, and she spun her spear back up to a ready position, stabbing the blade forwards.

The huge male only grinned however, and her eyes widened in surprised realization as he stomped one foot upon the lake, cracking the hard obsidian like it was nothing but a frail eggshell, while making an upwards shoving gesture with his arms. Gaia's half of the solid block of stone suddenly exploded upwards, throwing her down towards the distant bottom of the ancient lake as the gigantic block of obsidian flipped over, and crashed down atop her with a deep, deafening crack.

Killer was under no illusion that it would hold her for long, even as he swung Azura four times, forming enormous spikes of golden energy that he violently pile-drove deep across the obsidian and the bedrock, like he was nailing her coffin closed. He beat his mighty wings a moment later, flying right for the top of the tower, but he had climbed mere meters when the obsidian block beneath him shattered like glass, exploding into fragments which shot towards him like daggers. He spun around, focusing energy into Azura before slashing it downwards, sending the golden fire rushing down in a massive beam of force, which vaporized the obsidian spikes before crashing into the bottom of the lake, exploding into a fearsome ball of fire and destruction which rattled the whole tower.

His instinct told him that Gaia was already gone, though... and he spun again, unsurprised to see her diving on him like a bird of prey, stabbing her spear towards him. A massive wave rushed forth from the tip, smashing into him with tremendous force, sending him crashing back-first into the base of the huge tower, smashing right through the stone wall.

He spun in midair and slammed his feet back into the next wall, however, thrusting an arm into the roaring cascade of water crushing him backwards, and sending a freezing mist breathing through the beam of water, until it solidified and formed a wall closing the breach in the tower. He dropped down on his feet, his body heating up and draining the water soaking him until it evaporated. He took a deep breath as he tried to focus his senses, to detect her next movements... but it was impossible, as her energy came from literally everywhere at once.

He pulled his massive blades up, keeping his guard high as he charged down the corridor, seeing stairs in the distance. He tried to teleport to the top of the tower, again and again... but it was no use. This was a mind, after all, and Gaia, or Shi through her, clearly did not want that to be possible. Here, he had to fight to someone else's rules.

He had moved only a few meters when his instinct, more than his senses, screamed at him. He screeched almost to full stop, and shut his eyes with a grunt of shock as two enormous thorny tentacles smashed through the outer wall, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere like shrapnel as one of the enormous appendages blocked the path ahead, and the other literally scratched his back with the thick, cruel thorns. Killer let himself drop to the floor, sliding under the first massive tentacle and slashing Wyvern through it as he did so, but as he leapt back to his feet on the other side, he snarled at the sight of flesh-eating plants sprouting all over the rocky walls, floor and roof, as large green tendrils and tentacles stretched through the corridor from all sides, clogging it up as they wrapped around his limbs, growing cruel, curved hooks which tore into his flesh, flooding his body with acid and poison.

Killer stomped forwards all the same, dragging on the myriad of tentacles clawing into him, even as they tried to pull him back and haul his feet off the ground. His muscles bulged with power as he swung his arms forwards, ripping them free, as Azura's blade glowed golden and fired a blade of energy which burned the plans into ashes, rushing down the corridor until it cut through the stone wall and exploded.

The remaining plants hissed and whined as they retreated from the blast, the fire spreading through the green mass of carnivore tendrils, consuming them... and Killer exploited the moment to run towards the stairs. He leapt unto these with a growl, which became a snort as the steps tilted and formed one smooth, steep slide. "Shi, you idiot..." The huge male snarled, annoyed at what he considered more of a mocking than a problem, as he stomped his feet down and his toes tore through the hard rock like it was wet sand.

Electrified gates began to descent ahead of him, blocking the way, but he charged straight through the metal bars, the steel bending and tearing like blades of grass as he stepped onto a landing and turned the corner to rush up another ramp.

He heard a whirring noise and looked up with a snarl, recognizing it easily, just as bullets began to hail down against him, coming from an automated Gatling gun turret at the top of the ramp. Killer raised Wyvern in front of himself, gritting his fangs in rage as the corridor echoed with the clash of metal on metal, the large projectiles bouncing off the thick blade.

He wasn't scared by such cheap tricks... even with their magic-enhancement, the bullets could hardly do more than tickle him even when they hit his legs, and he had easy game throwing a sphere of energy forwards: a huge explosion followed, sending pieces of the automated gun flying everywhere as the tower's outer wall was breached. He was only worried by Gaia, and he had no idea why she wasn't assaulting him, even as he felt her energies following him, rippling through the floor, the walls, and the roof. She was everywhere... and there wasn't too much he could do about it, other than try and be ready when she decided to move.

It happened a few moments later, as he launched up another ramp: he felt a shift in the energies in the walls and in the floor, and he dropped his two massive swords, the blades clanging loudly against the stone right as the pavement exploded upwards in a forest of cruel crystal spikes, as more burst forth from the walls and from the roof. He used the swords to clear a path for himself, but even as shattered crystals rained down all around him, more and more surged forth from all sides, as long and sharp as spears, and as hard as diamond. They shot through his arms, the huge male roaring in agony as one pierced his bicep from side to side before tearing into his hip, before two more shot up through his feet, blood spraying out of the horrendous wounds, before another stabbed him in the back, his eyes bulging wide at the tremendous pain that followed, his legs twitching, almost out of control.

He closed his eyes as he coughed up a gout of blood, and sent his energies exploding out in pulses around him: one after the other, the shockwaves of energy shattered the crystals down into fragments... but those small diamonds still had the strength to fire into him, pelting his body with countless deep wounds as he fell to the floor, shaking violently.

He realized after a second that he was sliding down the ramp, painting the floor crimson with his blood, and he bent the fingers of one hand, trying to grip into the smooth slide, a groan of agony escaping his lips as his vision turned red and black, the pain pulsing in his head, seeming like it would burst his skull.

He still clawed his way to a stop, though, rolling over onto his back as he held himself steady with one hand, panting hard as formed a shield of energy above himself and tried to hold it together, watching the crystals smashing into it, without really seeing them.

He groaned in pain, but began to push back to his feet all the same, sluggishly moving further up the ramp... before he gritted his fangs with a wince as he felt an enormous energy surging up from beneath him. He tried to roll onto his side, but too late: a column of water shot right through his abdomen, the front of his body exploding in a splatter of blood and gore as the icy water rammed into the roof above, before the column morphed to take Gaia's shape. His eyes almost exploded out of their sockets as his back arched with his shriek of agony... but he couldn't let go. Instinctively, he iced her over, turning her into a solid statue, before he slashed both of his swords in a cross cut, chopping her in three pieces which fell down over him, and shattered. He heated his body up with a snarl, burning the ice down to vapor... but of course, it didn't really help.

The white, warm fog lingered over him, and began to form her shape again, Gaia reappearing in her physical body right over him, straddling his waist, one hand clawing roughly down into the horrendous wound in his abdomen, gripping into his guts, tearing into them, crushing them into paste, as she stabbed Oceanzor through his right arm, pinning it to the floor.

She leaned down and grinned in his face... before grunting in pain and shock, her smirk fading as the huge male flashed his own grin up at her, Azura stabbed right up through her belly, sticking straight out of her back.

She looked down at his hand for a moment, and a wide grin spread over her features. "Lord Killer..." The goddess purred, looking no less than thrilled even as her blood and guts spilled onto his chest. She leaned down further, even if it meant impaling herself even deeper upon Azura's large blade, and she let go of her spear to push her fingers into his mane, playing with his bangs tenderly, even as her other hand viciously clawed into his organs. "You give me all the right thrills... never tamed, never scared away. Always tearing your way through whatever enemy or difficulty..."

"It is what I do best." Killer replied, smirking a bit despite the pain, as he thrust Azura upwards, right to the hilt, before letting go of the handle, to rip into her body with his bare hand, gripping into her ribcage and tearing it outwards, exposing her guts as he leaned up to push his thick muzzle into her wound, biting into a long rope of her intestine. She gargled in pain, but then hissed in a sort of sick delight, her fingers squeezing into his head as she repressed a shiver, her voice dropping to a ravenous whisper as she said: "I'm sure you know, my Lord, that I'm a virgin... my shy, uptight, coy little sister has of course never given away her 'purity'..." The goddess grinned, and then bent down to nuzzle the huge male, licking his cheek hungrily before pushing nose to nose, looking down into his eyes. "But you know... that's possibly the one thing I don't hold against her at all. Because popping my cherry is an honor that only you deserve. It would have been a waste, with anyone else. They don't have the power, the size, the... skill."

"You are a demanding girl..." Killer teased, and Gaia nodded with a smirk, tearing her hand out of his maimed guts, only to lovingly slide her bloodied fingers down past his waist, gripping into the gigantic bulge in his pants, squeezing on the massive cock. "Oh, yeah... I am. I deserve only the best... my shy little sister is always the last one to talk, always semi-hidden at the end of the table. But I'm the strongest of the council of the 7 gods. And the other gods are finally being reminded of it."

"But you are letting Shi control you." Killer countered, looking at her firmly, until she gazed away from his eyes, giving his enormous shaft a vicious squeeze, making him grunt in a mix of pain and excitement.

"Temporarily..." She hissed, before her eyes narrowed as she muttered: "Shi is almost impossible to kill, remember...? I can destroy him from dawn to twilight, but that will not be enough."

"I can help you. We can kick him out, make it unbearable for him in here." Killer offered, hoping to be able to get her on his side... but he quickly realized that it wasn't going to be easy.

"I'm not kicking Shi out if it means restoring the old, shy Gaia who never gets to satisfy her own itches." The goddess briskly replied, straightening up before twisting her spear into the wound in Killer's arm, making the huge male growl in pain. "But, maybe... there's a way." She added, throwing him a lifeline even as she stood up, looking down into his eyes. "I see the way Ira has changed. The freedom and inner peace she has found thanks to you. She has love, she has found a purpose and an identity. She has broken the chains she'd wrapped herself into. And I like that."

Killer looked into her eyes for a long moment... then he seized into the pole of her spear, and he pulled it up, out of the wound in his arm. Gaia grunted in surprise at the strength with which he forced her back, the goddess gripping into the spear with both hands and driving it down as hard as she could... but he only gritted his fangs in a snarling grin, flexing his powerful arm slowly as the long blade tore fully out of his flesh. "I'm a demanding Master, Gaia... and the freedom I give is not unlimited. I don't allow myself to be a force of reckless destruction... and I won't allow you to be, either." The wound in his arm healed rapidly, his guts moving like tentacles as they moved back into his body as he slowly stood up, forcing the spear away from him as Gaia looked at him with surprise... and with evident pleasure, her eyes glowing with a mix of hope and lust. He seized the handle of Azura with his other hand, and he half-dragged the long blade back out of her, the goddess grunting in pain as a streak of blood leaked out of her mouth... before he swung the blade outwards, tearing it through her hip and almost severing her in half at waist level. Gaia gaped breathlessly, her eyes darting down to the blade and to the thick splatter of her blood falling to the floor and over his massive, muscular form... before she arched her back with a sigh of delight, closing her eyes and nodding slightly, smiling widely. "Yes... you are the master I've always wanted." Her eyes darted open, staring right at him, her expression hidden by how brightly they glowed. "But you need to impress me for real, my Lord... I cannot let you put a leash on me if you don't prove your power. Show me, Lord Killer... show me that you are the strongest of all."

"You really are a lot like Alexis." Killer teased, smiling slightly and tilting his head to the side with amusement. Gaia, on her part, just shrugged a bit and grinned as she replied easily: "Great minds think alike."

They took on ready positions, their earlier wounds closing and regenerating even as they studied each other... and then the goddess lunged forwards, with the deadly grace of a cobra biting its prey. Her spear turned into a bright sapphire flash with the speed of her movement, the deadly blade shooting by Killer as he slid to the side and deflected using the flat of Azura. The huge male shifted his weight on his foot and twisted around, swinging the massive Wyvern out in a vicious cut, but Gaia shot past like lightning, turning into nothing but a literal bolt of electricity as the heavy sword tore into the floor.

The goddess reappeared almost in the same instant, spinning Oceanzor and stabbing with it from under her armpit, thrusting the blade towards Killer's back. The liger had anticipated the move, however, twisting his arm above his head to thrust Wyvern further out, swinging it behind his back: the thick blade clashed with the tip of her spear, knocking Oceanzor wide off the mark. Immediately, he spun Azura backwards, stabbing it from under his own armpit... but all he heard was the splashing of water on the floor as Gaia morphed once more.

Killer stepped away from her and spun on the spot, turning to face her just as she reformed, her body made of flowing water, her legs merging into a long, massive snake body as she lunged forwards. He slashed her upper body in half with a swing of Wyvern, but it didn't dissuade her at all, the goddess's serpentine body wrapping around his arm, then around his whole torso and then his legs, the huge male growling as the icy water nearly ripped the flesh from his bones, ripping into him more than any blade could have. He was lifted off the ground just as Gaia sent electricity exploding in bolts down her body, the water amplifying the devastating effects as his nervous system was burned by the discharge.

Even through the pain, Killer managed to thrust a forearm into the stone roof as Gaia tried to ram his head into it, and he used the solid base to shove himself out of her grip, muscles bulging with power as he pitted his raw strength against the power of the streams of water forming her body.

He tore through her, landing on his feet... and grinning as Gaia made the mistake of making her body solid flesh as she lunged towards his back, thrusting her spear forwards. He squatted under her stabbing weapon, and he spun both swords into his hands, thrusting them hard upwards, grinning predatorily as blood rained upon him as both blades pierced through her body from side to side, the goddess gargling in agony. He slashed both swords down, cutting long, terrible wounds in her body as he slammed her down into the floor at the same time, but here she dissolved into green tentacles and flowers and plants which spread quickly all over the walls, their spiked roots tearing easily even through stone. Killer immediately dragged back his swords and backstepped, but in mere moments thorny tentacles filled the corridor completely, assaulting him from all sides.

He used his swords to chop them, trying to keep them from swallowing him whole as the corridor seemed to turn into one gigantic carnivore plant... before he grunted as pain thrummed viciously in his head, blood spurting out of his nose as he fell to one knee, wheezing, the world spinning around him as his vision faded in and out. "Oh, no... no..." He groaned, shutting his eyes at the searing pain in his head, realizing that the mind connection was at risk... before he heard pieces of words, different voices mixed in it, recognizing Alexis's and Taranis's, as he saw flashes and fragments of images, his eyes opening wide as he saw Alexis's body turning into stone as she fought the god of war.

He felt her pain, the tearing of flesh off her bones... but a moment later, with another explosion of pain in his head, he got his vision back, panting and trembling violently as his muscles spasmed with the shock. The mind connection had almost been lost, and he could only repress a shiver of terror at the awareness of the risk they had just ran - before gargling in agony as Gaia stabbed her spear right through his chest.

"What's the matter...?" Gaia angrily hissed, leaning forwards as she thrust her spear right through him, until their noses almost touched. He felt agony in every corner of his body, and he quickly realized why, as during his semi-black out he had been completely swarmed over by thorny, poisoned tentacles, which nailed him to a wall of poisoned spikes all buried deep into his back. He looked into Gaia's eyes as the goddess leaned forwards, and he snorted as she muttered: "I'm not impressed, Lord Killer..."

"Had a little bit of a problem there." The huge male grunted, before arching his back, pushing away from the wall as best he could as his enormous musculature bulged explosively. Fire erupted over his body, as he tried to burn down the hundreds of tentacles holding him, but the plants seemed to completely ignore the flames, as Gaia easily countered his attempt. Indeed, Killer bit his lower lip, strangling a groan of pain in his throat as the goddess took over the flames, and his own fire turned against him, burning into his flesh.

He roared in a mix of pain and rage, ripping one arm free and seizing the pole of her spear as he pushed off the wall, dragging himself down along the pole buried deep into his chest. Gaia backstepped with a grunt of surprise, but Killer slid down the pole with a growl of agony and rage, and headbutted her violently, blood flying from her muzzle as she stumbled backwards, letting go of Oceanzor.

Killer landed on his feet, the spear pierced through his upper body, sticking out of his back, blood and poison leaking in streams from his many wounds, but the huge male rushed immediately against the goddess, lashing his heavy fist into her face, knocking her flying backwards with a scream of pain.

As Gaia crashed back-first into the wall, Killer turned back to tear Wyvern and Azura free from the tangle of poisoned tentacles, the plants whip-lashing at him as he seized the handles of the two swords. He snarled at the pain coming from each heavy slash of the tentacles, but ripped both swords off the wall, before using them to cut the tentacles into pieces, roaring as he swung his blades in a cross-cut which tore the wall completely into bits.

He felt Gaia straightening up behind him, and he immediately threw Azura into the air, spinning on the spot and kicking the blade flying towards her, his now free hand reaching up for Oceanzor as his instinct told him what was about to happen. He pulled on the thick, heavy spear, dragging it out of his own chest even as it heated up savagely, burning his fingers down to the bone, while Gaia sidestepped, avoiding Azura and letting it bury itself into the stone wall, the sword sinking down right to the handle, such was the force of the throw. Her eyes flashed as she looked up at her spear, and the weapon exploded in a massive blast of raging water, which formed spikes expanding in every direction. Thankfully, the weapon no longer was in Killer's chest, and the goddess realized it a moment later as his massive, fleshy tentacles stretched out of his back and whip-lashed against her, each heavy appendage jutting with deadly bone spikes. She snorted at this, grinning as she prepared to simply turn into water, or wind... before she grunted in shock as she felt a change of energies in the air, and her body was rattled by a violent, erotic shiver.

She spotted Killer's eyes, glowing sapphire and full of power... and she cursed under her breath even as drool leaked from her jaws, as hotter wetness ran down her thighs, as she stumbled and gaped in surprise, his magnetism cancelling every other thought from her mind as she felt her muscles flex and clench, her sex dripping with her desire.

The first enormous tentacle smashed into her a moment later, whip-lashing into her abdomen and burying its cruel bone-spikes across her body as it scooped her up from the floor like she weighted nothing, throwing her across the corridor and against the wall. She crashed through the thick stone, blood spraying up in sickening splatters from the terrible wounds in the front of her body, before the second tentacle arched through the air behind her as she flew out of the tower.

The two spiked, gigantic tentacles caught her in the middle, crushing the goddess between them as their coils pushed together, wrapping tightly around her, blood leaking onto their black flesh as they swung downwards to smash her again through the stone walls of the tower, her shrieks of pain rising high as the spikes ripped through her body.

Killer panted, pained by her screams but telling himself that they were all necessary, trying to hold his nerve as he walked to the wall and ripped Azura out of it, the blade glowing golden as it recognized his energies and absorbed them to add to its lethality.

He turned to the side as he felt hostile energies on the move, and his eyes narrowed in a mix of rage and surprise as Shi charged down the stairs, the silvery monster brandishing a gigantic halberd as it advanced towards Killer.

"I didn't think you'd get out of your hiding spot, coward..." Killer coldly muttered, taking on an easy ready position as Shi pulled up his heavy weapon, snarling at him.

"It seems I can't trust Gaia to do the job on her own..." Shi grumbled, ignoring the insult as he glared at Killer with hate. "I like her power too much to let go of it. I will stop you, in a way or another." The parasite snarled, before lashing out with one arm, sending a blast of force crashing into Killer, knocking the huge male back... but Killer only shifted his weight on his toes, and quickly screeched to a halt, glaring at Shi with fury before charging forwards.

Shi swung his halberd in an uppercut, a crescent blade of crackling energy shooting forwards only to explode against the flat of Wyvern as Killer leaned into the blow with his massive sword, before twisting to the side as he slashed Azura upwards.

It caught into the bottom of the halberd's spiked blade as Shi swung it down in a parry, and Killer roared, his huge bicep bulging with power as he literally lifted Shi off the ground, throwing him into the air as the halberd flew off his hands, spinning down across the corridor before Killer stabbed Wyvern forwards, stabbing it through Shi and nailing him to the wall as he buried the blade deep through the stone.

Shi let out a gargle of pain, his breath catching in his throat as his eyes bulged wide, but he focused on changing the coherence of his molecular structure a moment later, and his body became semi-liquid, streaking down the wall and away from the massive crimson blade. The shapeless silvery paste splattered on the floor, and from there immediately burst forwards, forming a thick spike which shot towards Killer's chest, but the liger backstepped with a snarl, slapping this with the flat of Azura, sending the liquid splashing again into the ground, before the weird paste formed back into Shi and the parasite bounced painfully twice before crashing into the wall.

The parasite scrambled to sit up on the floor, kicking his way backwards away from Killer and pushing out his hands, shouting in fury as he blasted a beam of dark fire against the liger.

Killer charged through this, snarling as the flames swung around his blades and swarmed over him like living beings, grinding into his flesh and trying to burn it, as his body resisted, glowing with golden energy, until the black fire dissolved into weak motes of energy.

Shi winced as Killer charged straight through the black fire, emerging from it with a grin, energy crackling around his massive form as he pulled up a foot and stomped it hard down on the parasite, crushing him like a bug, until its body lost cohesion once more and burst apart in a splatter, droplets flying in every direction. Killer stared at these as they floated up in the air, moving unnaturally, before they dived towards him: he backstepped with a snarl, using the agile Azura to slash them out of the air... but the droplets only separated into smaller ones and clung to the blade, streaking down it and over his wrist, flowing over his arm towards a large, deep wound in his bicep.

Killer snarled and tried to slap the liquid away, grating it away with the blade of Azura, but some of the weird fluid dived right into the wound, making him hiss in pain as it forced deep into his limb. He snarled as he felt the parasite messing with his nervous system, his fingers trembling and moving of their own accord, the sword nearly falling out of his grip, before his arm swung out against his will, and Shi's voice came to him in an echoing cackle. "What are you going to do, dear...? Cut your own arm off, or let the corruption expand...?"

Killer tried to resist, stepping towards the wall as the uncontrollable arm swung Azura towards the liger's chest, and the blade clanged against the stone, the arm immediately moving to try another suicidal stab... and Killer grunted in agony at the same moment as the mind link once more faltered, the flow of his thoughts compressing painfully as he lost awareness of the surroundings, and felt his consciousness tearing between what he was doing outside of Gaia, and what he was doing here, inside of her mind.

Once more he heard distant words, and felt Alexis's pain as she valiantly fought back Taranis and Seth, seeing flashes of what was happening to her, in a confused blur of sounds, images and agony... before he stumbled backwards with a violent cough, his head pounding as he saw Alexis growing in size and power, and the mind channel was restored.

Killer gritted his fangs in pain, disoriented by the vicious, painful pounding in his head, but he had no time to pull his breath as his infected arm again swung Azura towards his neck. He used Wyvern to knock the assault wide, and he heard Shi snarling angrily as the parasite fought to maintain the control of his arm, feeling the presence of the monster pushing further inside his body. He closed his eyes and focused, sending his energy flooding down into his arm... and he winced in pain at the intensity of the discharge, as electricity crackled around his limb. He kept it going, however, as he heard Shi shrieking in agony as well, and he observed droplets of the silvery liquid coming loose and floating out of the wounds in his arm. He grinned at this, even through the pain, despite the agony, and sent even more energy crackling down his arm, almost burning his own flesh in the process, but forcing Shi to leak back out of his body, the parasite splashing to floor and the droplets running away from the liger before reuniting and surging upwards once more in the shape of Shi's physical form.

Killer turned to face him, but hissed in pain as he felt his tentacles being severed, the two massive appendages retreating into his back before Gaia smashed her way through the floor, emerging in front of him with a snarling smirk on her bloodied features.

"Kill him, you useless whore! Kill him, or you will never be free again!" Shi shouted, extending a hand towards her back and sending discharges of energy burning their way in her brain and down her nerves, the goddess snarling as she stumbled forwards.

"Gaia, don't let this parasite lord you around." Killer calmly said, looking at her firmly, and she grinned even through the pain, lashing an arm out backwards: Shi had enough time to let out a squeak of terror and outrage before bursting apart in a splatter of grey matter as she goddess hissed: "Shut up, vermin. This is an affair between me and Lord Killer. You'll better stay out of it, or be squished like the gnat you are."

Killer grinned gamely at this, giving her a bit of a nod, while Shi reformed behind her with a grimace of fury on his face, his eyes glowing as he barked: "How dare you, whore... I'm in your mind. I'm control. And I'll force you to bow down to me, in a way or another." He leaned forwards with a snarl, his fingers turning into saber-like talons as he buried these down into Gaia's back, growling as energy crackled around each blade as he used all his force against Gaia's nervous system.

The goddess groaned in pain, hissing as her skin caught fire and her eyes nearly melted in their sockets, but she took over the flames consuming her, and sent them blasting backwards against Shi instead, the parasite howling in pain as the fire shot through him in spikes, then morphed into snakes of burning heat which wrapped around him and passed through his body as he was crushed in their coils.

Shi howled in agony, his limbs losing cohesion until his hands fell off and splattered on the floor, his fingers still buried in her back but no longer shocking her with energy... and she turned into water, grinning as Killer slashed Wyvern through her immaterial body and chopped Shi in half.

The two halves of the parasite fell to the floor with a splatter, and the droplets rushed away from the two gods, passing through a crack in the wall and vanishing from sight for the moment. Gaia, in the meanwhile, charged straight into Killer, washing over him like a tidal wave and crushing him against the wall.

He gargled as the water infiltrated his ears, his mouth, his nostrils, the liquid moving in tendrils and tentacles which pushed into his brain and to his inner organs, applying a deadly pressure on them, sending flashes of crimson exploding in his vision as he let out a silent scream of agony, vomiting blood which tinged the water crimson.

He sunk into the stone like it was sand, crushed into the wall with savage force as his ribcage caved in, before the wall exploded in a hail of fragments, gravel and blocks of stone, and he was pushed out of the tower. He beat his wings once as soon as he felt fresh air against his back, and he threw himself higher up into the sky, out of the path of the giant wave.

He spun around immediately, eyes glowing sapphire as he saw the water twist in midair and take on a naga shape, Gaia grinning as her legs were replaced by a thick, powerful snake-body, her tail jutting with spikes and blades of crystal and unknown metal alloys. She held a hand out, and a streak of water shot out of the tower and into her grip, morphing quickly into the solid shape of Oceanzor as the goddess lunged against him. Swords and spear clashed, thunderbolts exploding from the impact, before she twisted her body and whip-lashed her tail against his side, the huge male stabbing Azura into her flesh and dragging it upwards along her immense snake body, slicing it open and sending blood bursting out of the huge wound. She hissed in pain, her tail lashing away from him, but almost immediately flowers and plants began to grow into the wound, plugging it closed and turning it into yet another weapon as thick tentacles of poisoned, thorny ivy pushed out and began to swing through the air hungrily, as if seeking prey. Even her blood turned against Killer, each drop solidifying into a crimson ruby with sides sharper than razors, each bullet rushing against him. They cracked apart as they hit a wall of energy he raised as a shield in front of himself, and the huge male looked to the goddess with urgency in his eyes. "Gaia, stop this. Come back to your senses: while we clash in here, outside Heaven is falling apart. You are destroying entirely tows, you can't possibly want this!"

"You won't have it in the easy way, Lord Killer." The goddess sharply replied, holding her spear up, aimed at him. "You are not impressing me enough: how can I let you control me, if you are afraid of your own power? How can I let you put mine on a leash, if you are scared of yours? I will not trade a prison for another: I will only accept the control of someone who has the power to force Nature on its knees, and the courage to use that power. The courage to let it loose, even, at least once in a while. No matter how many towns get destroyed. I want a master, not a jailer!" She grinned, throwing her arms out as the world around her and Killer fell into darkness, huge black clouds covering the sky as the ground beneath rattled violently, then cracked, as enormous green tentacles ripped their way out of the depths, climbing into the sky. "I know you are holding back, Lord Killer... but I won't let you continue that. You have to show us your power, if you want to put a leash on us, and hold it."

Killer looked down at the world beneath as the rocky cliffs around the tower were crushed by her fearsome force, the stone cracking apart like fragile glass as burning magma erupted from beneath, the liquid fire surging through the cracks and exploding skywards, before raging waves mixed in, a violent vortex forming around the tower. The huge male saw the angry maelstrom growing from beneath, before looking up as enormous thunderbolts tore the sky apart, connecting with the magma in spectacular explosions.

H snarled as Gaia cackled as she stabbed Oceanzor forwards, then swung it skywards: he felt the immense force she focused through the movement, and he braced for the impact, pushing his own hands forwards and focusing his energies as the roaring sea of fire and water rose into an immense wave which rushed towards him.

He darted his gaze over his shoulder, seeking for the "good" Gaia, searching her through the sky, fearing that she might be gone. Her energies were by now so feeble that he couldn't really perceive them as he was surrounded by the immense force of "evil" Gaia... but, a moment later he closed his eyes in relief as he spotted her, floating weakly inside a bubble of energy which faded in and out of existence as the immense thunderbolts struck it from above.

Killer's massive musculature bulged explosively as he pushed against her force and the elements, the huge male using his telekinetic force to grip into the gigantic vortex of fire and water and wind and stone, his biceps swelling with all their power as he wrestled against the might of Nature. He snarled as he shoved forwards, his fangs gritted but his lips cresting almost in a grin as he crushed the vortex on itself, closing its mouth in a cataclysmic explosion as the elements clashed together, the cold water turning part of the magma into lucid obsidian as he forced his hands to move closer to each other, squeezing the tornado closed.

"That' more like it..." Gaia cackled, watching as her arms were forced far apart by his unstoppable, sheer force, her limbs aching as she was shoved backwards, the massive male overpowering her steadily even as she redoubled her efforts to push the vortex against him. Her eyes glowed with white, emotionless light as she sent massive tentacles jutting out of the vortex, the gigantic appendages whip-lashing towards Killer. The huge male replied with his own, his black tentacles forcing her green ones back, the beast-like obsidian monstrosities biting into the vegetal tentacles, tearing them to shreds and sending enormous pieces falling off to crash into the roaring sea below.

As they wrestled from the opposite sides of the supernatural tornado, Killer gritted his fangs with a groan, feeling the pressure on the mind channel going up once more. He began receiving flashes of images of what Alexis was seeing, and his own outside-self mixed in, so that he began seeing three things happening at once, feeling three different pains at the same moment, his heart racing desperately to keep up as he roared and pushed forwards with all his strength, even as his eyes filled with images of Alexis flying through some sort of ghosts-filled hurricane.

Killer shook his head from side to side, growling in agony and despair as he shut his eyes and tried to regain control of his senses and of his consciousness, feeling himself breaking apart... before he snarled in fury as a thick silvery javelin pierced his back and pushed several feet out of his chest.

Another javelin followed a moment later, before he guessed, more than saw, "good" Gaia flying forwards to knock another two javelins away from him.

He heard her scream of pain a moment later, even if it mixed with Alexis's distant thoughts, leaving him disoriented and confused. He shut his eyes, trying to seal the disturbance out of his head as he focused on what was happening behind and in front of him... and he gritted his fangs as he caught a sign of Shi's presence, feeling him rushing towards his back.

The parasite howled angrily as Killer's back rippled and burst forth with another two massive tentacles: the two dark beasts caught Shi in their coils, squeezing him into a dead embrace as enormous bone spikes cut through his body, ripping him into shreds.

The tentacles acted on their own, even as Killer shook his head from side to side, letting out a groan of agony at the tremendous pounding within his head, his senses completely overwhelmed with pain and confusion, making him blind and deaf. He continues to thrust forwards, feeling Gaia's energies forcing against him, but he had no way now to avoid the tentacles shooting at him from below. He felt them wrapping around his body, coiling over his arms and piercing them from side to side, pumping acid poison into his organism, his muscles flexing and relaxing in spasms, out of his control. He felt his strength fading, and he began to be pushed back as the vortex of fire and water returned to expand... and a moment later, spikes fired into his back, piercing through his body and growing barbs to catch into his chest. Killer hissed in pain at this, before letting out a roar of rage and agony as electricity burned along his nerves, the discharge coming through the spikes.

"Oh, but I see, now..." Shi mused, becoming liquid again and slipping out of the deadly grip of Killer's tentacles. "What an idiot I am... why fighting you here, when I can just cut the mind link...?" The parasite cackled, flexing the tendrils that extended from his shapeless form to the spikes buried across Killer's body.

The cloud of silver swung around Killer's shoulder, and slid down his arm, before forming into a spiked manacle which viciously clamped down on his forearm, mincing his flesh and muscle.

Killer barely twitched, lost into even greater pain, and torn between the fight outside and inside of Gaia, and even part into Alexis's own fight. The lack of reaction encouraged the parasite to take his physical form again, sitting on Killer's arm with a chuckle. She stared for a few moments at Killer's agony, laughing... before he held one arm up, and morphed it into a long, sharp saber blade. "So... clearly you aren't doing this on your own. I bet Alexis is keeping the mind link up for you, huh...? Yes... I should have guessed it all along. I can kill you by hitting her..." Shi cackled, and then lowered the saber towards Killer's throat, snickering as he teasingly added: "But it looks like the problem is solved, anyway."

The parasite pulled back his sword-arm to strike, but as he swung the blade down, he winced in surprise and instinctively allowed his body to lose coherence, splashing down like water just as a spear crackling with electricity hissed in the air, passing through the spot his head had occupied until a moment before.

"Fuck it!" Gaia panted hard, laying on the bottom of her floating sphere of energy, her arm still outstretched as she gritted her teeth with a hiss of rage at having missed the target... She tried to form another spear of thunderbolt in her hand, but electricity only crackled weakly around her fingers, while Shi turned towards her with a snarl of fury.

The parasite shoved a hand out towards the currently weaker, agonizing manifestation of Gaia, and the goddess closed her eyes with a snarl of rage. Not at her impending end, but at having failed that key, last shot.

"Stuff that hand up your ass." Killer growled, his eyes opening and glowing a furious, deep sapphire, like all the power and rage of the oceans shone through his irises. Shi turned to him in horror and shock as the huge male pushed back against Gaia with new vigor, redoubling his efforts as his musculature bulged explosively, the problem with the mind link evidently solved... and the parasite scrambled away from him as Killer peeled one hand away from forcing back against the vortex, to seize him by the wrist instead.

Shi dissolved into liquid once more, and Killer's hand shot uselessly through what had been a wrist until an instant before, but the liger snarled and balled his hand into a fist, lashing this out furiously, energy crackling in golden and black flames around his fingers. "I've had enough of you!" Killer roared, smashing his deadly fist into Shi's head before it could melt into liquid... and the liger grinned darkly as he felt solid flesh against his knuckles, hearing the satisfying crumbling of bone and mashing of flesh and cartilage as he literally crumpled Shi's face in, crushing his skull into bits as the head was ripped off the shoulders by the tremendous force of the blow.

Pieces of the destroyed skull shot through the sky as Shi's voice echoed in a shriek of agony... but the fragments melted into liquid once more, and the droplets rushed back towards the tower, the parasite's voice booming across the sky: "I know how to stop you, now! No matter how strong you are... I will shatter the mind link, and turn your body in a pile of useless meat!"

"Tell that to Alexis, and see her laugh." Killer muttered under his breath. He had no doubt that he could count on her and her strength... but he was actually worried, in the deep. Shi still controlled Gaia's body and powers, and Alexis was already kept more than busy by Taranis. The mind link was the weak point in their plan... and now the enemy was fully aware of it.

Killer traded a quick gaze with the "good" Gaia, the goddess smiling weakly at him and giving him a nod as she floated away to a safer distance. The huge male turned his attention fully back on the clash with Gaia, his tentacles battling hers back, ripping them to shreds and forcing them away from his bleeding, devastated body as he shoved forwards with both hands, roaring as he charged forwards with all his might.

The vortex bent back towards "evil" Gaia, the goddess blasted backwards with a grunt... before her eyes went wide as she felt a shift of energies, as the huge male shoved up towards the sky and the vortex was stretched, the tornado forced to shoot up into the clouds, before the hurricane broke apart in the middle, magma and water and stone shooting in every direction as the winds dissipated. The whole dark vortex shattered into motes of fire, wind and water, the waves crashing back down to earth, and Killer launched himself forwards, flying between the falling boulders and the splashes of incandescent magma before emerging on the other side, throwing a crescent blade of energy from Azura. Gaia deflected this with an elegant swing of Oceanzor, but in the meanwhile Killer had the time to close the distance. Azura and Oceanzor clashed, sparks flying from the blades as thunderbolts of energy crackled around them, the huge male using his brutal strength to force her spear out to the side, slashing Wyvern across the opening in the goddess's guard.

Gaia pushed her arm up against the blade, and magma burst forth from the veins of fire in her rocky armor, before solidifying into a large, massive rectangular shield made of obsidian stone. Wyvern rammed into this with brutal force, knocking pieces of rock flying loose... but magma immediately surged from the inside of the shield, repairing every gash as it quickly cooled into stone.

"You can't kill me, Lord Killer..." Gaia amusedly said, grinning even as Azura slid down the pole of Oceanzor, forcing her guard open and stabbing forwards into her cleavage. There was no thick stone plating there, but water... and it was if possible even more effective, as the blade passed through without causing damage, before the pressure in the liquid clamped on the sword hard enough to make it groan. "You can shatter me, pierce me, wound me... but nature is everywhere, and is everything. I will always be back, in a puddle of water, in a cloud, in a breeze..."

She only laughed as he punched into her large shield, shattering it into gravel, and didn't even try to dodge as he let Wyvern slash out with the momentum of his movement, the thick blade chopping trough her neck, sending her head flying off her body... and he growled in shock as her body easily grew another head, while her head grew a full body, the two Gaias circling around him with grins on their faces. "Nature always finds a way..."

The huge male beat his wings with a wince as the two charged towards him from the opposite directions, leaping over them and growling in frustration as they just went through each other, before easily flying towards him. He was out of options, and out of time. He could already feel Shi messing with the mind link, and it forced him into three fights at once: against Gaia in the physical world, against Gaia in her mind, and against Shi in the ethereal tunnel that was the mind channel connecting him, Alexis and Gaia.

He snarled in rage, watching from one Gaia to the other as he let his energies breach the dams within him, feeling sheer power rushing in his veins as force crackled around him in thunderbolts.

Gaia cackled at this, her eyes glowing with interest as she urged: "Yes! Show me what you are actually capable of!" The two goddesses swung their spears against him, but tentacles burst forth from his back, massive and fleshy as always, but now completely clad into thick, ridged plates of white bone, the sharp plates doubling up as spike weapons and harder than diamond, as the beast-heads, also clad up in bone, took on the ghastly appearance of skulls with gigantic, cruel saberteeth. The enormous bone-serpents swarmed over the two goddesses, catching both in their coils and crushing them with devastating force, the stone of their armors crumbling and magma, blood and water bursting in thick splatters down the bone plates as the tentacles lengthened and carried the two females far away from Killer, hurling the two Gaias into the base of the tower and squishing them brutally into the ground.

Killer roared as he focused his force against the crater, more and more tentacles whip-lashing down on the two females, devouring and crushing and slashing, as shockwaves of pure energy exploded from him in rapid succession, the sky above him glowing crimson as it cracked apart like glass, his force blowing the clouds away like puffs of smoke, the water beneath him evaporating as the sea was drained, and the magma cooled into stone. The following explosion of raw power coming from him sent cracks spreading through the tower and through the wasteland left around it, the flat plate of stone crumbling, tectonic plates shifting and moving before being blown into gravel and dust as Killer's eyes glowed sapphire and a thick chain appeared, wrapped tightly around his chest.

He flew right for the tower, diving towards it like an eagle towards prey. He tried to aim for the top, for the real core of the fortress... but he could not see, his senses being focused elsewhere, as he ran down the mind channel in the same terrible instant, fighting three wars at once.

The thick, ancient links of the chain wrapped around his chest were tearing apart, his body growing against them, his muscles bulging and bending and stretching and breaking the metal forged by the gods... and he barely felt the stone wall as he smashed his way through it like it was nothing but thin air.

He had missed the control centre at the top, breaking into the tower a few levels beneath, and he walked down the corridor guided by his instinct.

His eyes did not see the stairs he climbed, instead seeing the inside of the mind link, where Shi was trying to chop the "cables"...

He saw Alexis coming from the other side, as well, as they closed in on Shi from the opposite ends of the tunnel...

And then Killer winced, his eyes opening back on the tower, within Gaia's brain, as the whole corridor around him became white hot, the stone melting into super-heated magma, cascading down on him and burning into his flesh as the heat became unbearable, Gaia's laughter coming loud even as it echoed through a vast distance.

Killer charged forwards all the same, snarling as his eyes glowed sapphire under the coat of magma... and his body glowed with energy, electricity crackling loudly around his form as his own control of fire struggled against Gaia's, until regular flows started to form, the lava streaking down the sides of his head instead of over his eyes, as the liquid fire began to take precise shapes.

He grinned as the magma on his body re-arranged into golden, brilliant plates of armor, shaped to fit the profile of his herculean musculature, the fire no longer hurting him, but protecting him instead, and feeding into his own power, as reality sizzled and trembled around him, the whole tower now rattling violently whenever his feet settled down. Each step came with a thunderbolt of energy crackling out of his sole, the fortress shaking like a leaf as enormous cracks spread through the thick walls, as his height and mass increased, his musculature bulging even greater as he grew, tearing through the stone roof like it was made of biscuits, walking through walls like they weren't even there, as the roof soon was at his waist level, and then down to his knees as his torso broke through another floor, then another.

Killer laughed at this, letting go of Azura as the sword began to float in front of him. The second Azura blade detached from his back and floated in front of him in the same way, his mind now finding it easy to control them telekinetically. The size of his swords adjusted to his growing mass as he stretched his arms out to the sides, cackling as they tore through the external walls of the tower like they would through wet paper, until the top half of the fortress began to tilt over and fall down to the ground.

Killer shrugged the top of the tower off his shoulders like it was but a feather tickling his neck. He watched on with a grin as the top half of the fortress toppled, and collapsed to the ground, before he realized that something was missing... and he looked upwards, his grin widening as he saw that the top floor, a structure of dark metal and armored glass, had slid off the tip of the tower, and was now hanging from the nerve channels coming down from the sky, looking almost like a town-sized ufo, an alien flying disc.

Killer estimated the diameter of that metallic, smooth dome in several miles, the huge male realizing only in that moment just how truly massive the tower had been... but now, even as he ran the estimates in his mind, it no longer impressed him. He laughed as gun turrets pushed out along the surface of the dome, hundreds of anti-material cannons firing desperately against him and feeling so pathetic as they miserably failed in even tickling him, the huge male completely ignoring their efforts. He looked at the remains of the chain on his chest, seeing the last broken link still holding weakly together, already severed but with the two halves still hooked together... and he needed only the merest flex of his thick, mountain-like chest to snap that last, pathetic resistance. His eyes glowed so energetically that even with them closed, flames of sapphire light leaked out, his enormous musculature flexing with pure, excessive vigor. The broken chain vanished, its residual energy absorbed into his body, devoured to add to his overflowing power. That Seal had been the work of a god... yet now it was consumed like candy, a mere drop into a growing ocean.

When he opened his eyes, a moment later, he had to look down to see the control centre that had loomed above him until mere instants before. He laughed as he flexed a body that was overflowing with power, and which had grown spectacularly massive: he absently crushed the remains of the bottom half of the tower into nothing but dust as he just shifted one foot slightly. The stone beneath his toes felt like soft sand, the world bending and warping under his weight. He looked down to see the control centre, which now was hanging at his crotch level, his immense black shaft revealed in all its glory, its gigantic, incredibly thick base dwarfing the steel dome.

Killer laughed as he let go of Wyvern, the massive sword floating docilely around him as he easily took the steel dome in his hands, the cannons covering the fortress's armoured surface firing into his fingers and into his cock but too weak and pathetic to ever gain his attention.

He cackled as he effortlessly took the city-sized fortress in his hands, lifting it up towards his face: it might as well have been a feather, because that was its weight and its resistance to Killer's touch: hundreds of gun turrets exploded into pieces or were crushed into flat plates of metal as the dome settled on the god's palm.

What had been so vast until moments before, now looked like a small, fragile toy, as the nerves connecting the dome to Gaia's nervous system snapped one after the other as he pulled the done in front of his face. He leaned in close as he realized that the dome was made of a special alloy of transparent metal, which let him see Shi holding onto banks of computers, as the screens in front of him sizzled to static, shutting off one after the other. The parasite gaped in shock and amazement, looking up into Killer's eyes as the gigantic liger stroked a hand slowly on top of the dome, laughing softly: the dome groaned and crumpled inwards, sending Shi falling to his knees, the parasite almost scrambling to hide under the table as the roof rushed down towards him. The guns on the top side of the dome were flattened and destroyed like they had never been there in the first place, as Killer teased: "Are you still sure you are unkillable, Shi...?"

Killer applied a light pressure on the dome, using his thumbs, and his fingers tore through the armour shield like it was made of thin paper, his gigantic digits crushing banks of computers and racks of servers, before flattening the consoles station where Shi was hiding. The parasite burst apart into a tiny splatter of silvery liquid, and Killer grinned with the feeling of retribution it gave him, as he watched the droplets slid down the floor, before Shi tried to reform... and Killer merely squashed him again under his thumb, snorting in contempt.

"That's what I wanted to see..." Gaia said, almost purring as she surged from the devastated wasteland beneath, columns of water coming up through the cracks in the ground and merging to form the goddess's body. She sized herself almost as big as Killer currently was, and she went back to flesh and blood, the beautiful snow leopardess teasingly smiling at him, eyeing him from head to toe.

Killer smirked back, his eyes still glowing a deep sapphire as he just snapped the steel dome in half, crushing the two halves into his hands, the metal groaning weakly as it was crumpled like a sheet of cheap paper.

Shi's screams of agony came from inside, and Gaia grinned in delight hearing them, closing her eyes as she walked forwards and stroked the back of Killer's hand, chuckling as she head the pain of the parasite who had invaded her. Killer balled his hands into fists, and the crumpled remains of the dome first melted, then all but evaporated with the tremendous pressure that his fingers so easily applied.

Both Killer and Gaia looked down with curiosity, unsure about what would happen to Shi... and the parasite had indeed somehow survived, its shape reappearing in midair, out of vapor which condensed back into droplets. Shi was screaming in agony, however, his body reforming but badly damaged and deformed, one arm reduced to a stump ending in two barely flexible spikes which had once been a full hand, the other arm sticking out of his back, one leg missing altogether and his head completely asymmetric as one side was almost flat with how much of his muzzle failed to reform.

The parasite howled in agony, trashing violently in midair and finally looking vulnerable even as it visibly tried to attract whatever molecule of him was still floating away with the vapor: his body grew and repaired itself a little bit further, but Killer and Gaia traded a look of dark amusement, knowing now that the giant liger had the raw strength to destroy even Shi.

"Eons ago, Lord God and I fought against Shi... It was a struggle which went on and on for years. We never managed to damage him this badly, even though we were eventually able to seal him away, trapping him into a special formation of crystals..." Gaia said, using one finger to spin the parasite around, surveying his miserable state and letting her grin spread wider as Shi howled in pain, pushing back weakly against her claw. "We have tried to come up with a way to kill Shi, over time... his prison was solid and well guarded, and he would have never been able to break out of the crystal on its own... but Lord God seemed to know that the day would come. Elelyon seemed to already know, even back then, that one day there would be a Sikanjal ready to free this monster, and use him for her own plans. He wanted Shi destroyed... but nothing seemed able to overcome his ability to regenerate. He always pieced himself back together."

She glared down at Shi, the parasite snarling at her with fury as it struggled against the invisible but invincible force holding him prisoner. Killer held him in an unbreakable telekinetic grip, and no matter how much he trashed and kicked and screamed, Shi could do nothing against that immense force.

Killer nodded slightly, listening with interest and trying to gauge what it truly meant... somehow, he had just done worse damage to Shi than Gaia and God himself had been able to, over years of war and then even longer eons of experiments. It was an extraordinary thought... and Gaia turned slightly towards him, grinning teasingly as she guessed his thoughts, the goddess seizing into one of his powerful arms, squeezing into a giant, diamond-hard bicep and kissing his cheek lightly. "Your strength truly is fearsome, Lord Killer... a power so immense that it can force even Nature on its knees..."

"That reminds me..." Killer calmly mused, before he grabbed Gaia by the throat, chocking her with brutal force. She gargled, her eyes bulging in a mix of surprise, pain and pleasure, even as she stabbed Oceanzor forwards in reply. The huge male easily caught the spear in his other hand, however, and he grinned as she kicked at the ground, thrusting forwards with all the strength she could muster, unable to force his hand back by one inch. He just squeezed harder on her neck, his claws piercing her skin and sending blood bursting out in thin sprays as he forced his fingers into her flesh, making her groan out in a mix of pain and delight, her eyes alive with passion and fear.

She tried to fight back still, trying to morph into water to rip free... but Killer only smirked as he flooded her with his energies, golden lightning crackling all around her as his force kept her molecules from braking up and changing their nature, forcing her to stay in her flesh-and-blood body.

He finally ripped Oceanzor out of her hands, and he easily spun the spear in his hand, before letting it float away from him. It joined Wyvern and the Azura blades in flanking him, the swords ready to fight and conquer on his behalf. Gaia's eyes opened wide in shock as her spear refused to even try and fight back against him, the pole only glowing contently with sapphire flashes of light... which now resembled his eyes more than they did the oceans.

She stared at him in amazement for a moment, then grunted as he forced her down, her legs bending until she fell on her knees, her breath rushing out of her nose with a whistle as she looked up at him with hunger in her eyes. He stood in front of her, naked and glorious, his titanic cock hanging heavy and massive between his muscular legs, the obsidian shaft still flaccid but already enormous, fearsome in its thickness and so long to give her shivers of fear. Drool rolled out of the corners of her mouth as she gazed over his enormous balls, the gigantic testicles hanging so low, taxing his sac with their unbelievable weight. She amenably reached out for his cock, her hands joining to adoringly cup the enormous head of his cock, her thumbs gently stroking over the thick foreskin still covering much of the fat, firm head. She swallowed as she pushed his heavy shaft up, the enormous member bending a bit, giving her a better sight of his heavy, virile balls as she drank of his potent scent.

He grinned widely as she loudly sniffed his virile, masculine musk, her eyes closing as drool leaked from her open mouth, her body shivering in delicious delight as her desire streaked down her thighs in rivers, the goddess dripping with need while tasting the thick, potent scent of the male, that glorious mix of bitter and sweet, that masculine essence so thick that she could chew it in the air.

The titanic male seized his enormous member in his hand, stroking it leisurely as he pulled the behemotic cock up, grinning hungrily down at the female as her eyes lustfully followed the movement of his immense shaft. Killer spread his legs wider as the immense shaft gave a hungry throb and began to grow, bulging even thicker and forcing the male's fingers further apart as his foreskin rolled back down the huge head, exposing the huge cumslit as the huge member rose up majestically.

The goddess moaned and flushed deeply as she stared at this with adoration, before pushing her muzzle up as best she could with his hand still clamping like a vice on her throat, her tongue lapping up at the enormous cockhead... before it morphed into a long, serpentine tongue which she pushed towards the cumslit, teasing its sensitive edge, rolling over it hungrily, and then pushing it in, deep, loving how vast his slit was, how easily it accommodated her tongue, how she could lap against his inner walls, teasing him and feeling each throb of his potent flesh.

Killer growled in appreciation, and the female reached forwards for his enormous balls, cupping the heavy orbs in her hands with a moan of appreciation, her eyes closing in bliss for a moment as she pushed the huge testicles together, rolling the giant balls lovingly as she pushed her muzzle forwards, kissing the head of his cock, making out with it as her tongue twisted and lapped and moved deep down his cumslit, drool and precum mixing in thick ropes of slobber which dangled from her chin until they began to connect with the top of her round, sizeable breasts, splattering her cleavage in fluids.

Killer growled hungrily, letting his head fall down on his chest as he looked down at her with a smirk of bliss and easy domination, stroking his colossal shaft as it kept growing and growing, punching her in the face without mercy as his hand moved back and forth along his thick cock, with no regard for her, only intent on pleasuring himself as he reached full, glorious erection. Shi floated helplessly nearby, a gnat dwarfed by the immensity of the thick black shaft, forced to stare in shocked amazement as Killer growled and squeezed tightly on the base of his huge member, the cock throbbing powerfully as Killer blasted a massive eruption of thick, potent precum all over the goddess's face, flooding her cleavage, soaking her breasts, as more of the virile fluid fired far past her head, streaking across the sky to crash down to earth a huge distance away. Titanic sperms filled the thick, dense essence, and Shi could only stare at these in a mix of horror, fear and awe, while Gaia pulled her head back to bathe hungrily into the powerful blast, her mouth open wide and tongue stretched out in eager welcome to catch the thick, huge volley, the forked end of her tongue still buried somewhere down his enormous slit.

Killer grinned hungrily as he pumped the last, heavy stream of precum out of his obsidian shaft, unloading all over Gaia's closed eyes, caking them sealed with potent pre, while huge sperms moved back and forth like sharks looking for prey. The goddess's hair, even made of water as they were, took on custer-like consistency and became a dense white as he saturated her with just that first release of precum, his hand stroking its way back down to the base of the huge shaft before he swung the heavy member down against her, clubbing her cheek and bruising it with the weight of his cock.

Gaia recoiled with a grunt of pain and pleasure, her head slammed in the opposite direction, before he cock-slapped her other cheek, and then did it again on the opposite side of her face, knocking her head from side to side, humiliating her as he left her face bloodied and bruised. Shi saw a tear roll down her cheek, mixing with the thick precum, but Gaia's expression was one of bliss, even when she moaned as Killer dragged her back up to her feet, and shoved her roughly against the wall of flesh that marked the limits of the cave they were in. They had seemed so distant before... but at the immense height he now had, reaching them didn't take more than a couple of steps.

Gaia panted roughly as he let go of her neck, grunting as she crashed into the wall, her eyes looking up at him as he closed the distance, the female letting out a groan of delight as his hard, massive cock thrust into her abdomen, pinning her against the fleshy wall before the huge male advanced further and his cock ground against the front of her body, angling upwards as he came closer and soon pushing her breasts far apart as it was sandwiched between them.

She licked her lips, shivering a bit before she kissed the head of the gigantic cock, seizing her breasts in her hands and pushing them against the sides of the enormous shaft, beginning to slowly, sensually move up and down along the hard pillar of flesh, pushing her hips forwards to grind her eager sex against the base of the titanic shaft. Shi couldn't help but watch on in awe as Killer lazily put his hands on his hips, and allowed the goddess to use his huge cock as a lap-dance pole, the obsidian cock so monstrously huge that its base pushed against her groin at the same time as the head fit into her mouth, the thick shaft forcing her breasts far apart as the liger lazily thrust back and forth with his hips.

Gaia laughed in delight, running her hands down the sides of the enormous black shaft, stroking them adoringly before seizing into the thick base, tugging on it teasingly as she sloppily lapped at the fat, massive head as it stuck proudly out of her cleavage, the female using her distended arms to try and keep her breasts squeezing as tightly as possible around the tremendous girth.

"Every time I see your cock, I realize that, yes, you are the Amon-Ra... There can be no doubt, in front of such superiority." Gaia whispered, half-lidding her eyes as she kissed the huge cockhead, before opening her jaws as wide as she could, pushing her head forwards and taking the fat cock in her mouth, her cheeks bulging out, comically full of thick, hard flesh. She was inexperienced, and such an invasion immediately had her coughing and spluttering... but she also eagerly pushed her tongue up, swirling it lovingly against the underside of his shaft, suckling greedily on his hard flesh. She pulled back after a few, long moments, moving slowly, letting her lips catch into the thick flange of the huge cockhead... before she pulled back with greater force, and the cock tore free with a loud, wet "pop", sending mixed precum and saliva splashing thickly in her cleavage. She licked her lips hungrily, looking up at him with fake, sensual innocence, before swallowing his thick precum in large, loud gulps... and then pushed her muzzle against the thick shaft, rubbing her cheek against it, musing: "But having all this power isn't enough if you don't use it... punishing a wicked slut like me is easy. But what about my little, shy, virginal, immaculate sister, huh...?" She pointed a finger at the exhausted "good" Gaia, the female floating still in a sphere of energy, looking absolutely minuscule in comparison with their current godlike sizes. "Would you have the guts of raping her, I wonder...?" Gaia teased, grinning sharkishly.

There had been a time in which Killer wouldn't have needed any encouragement for carrying out such a violent, cruel act. Had a similar situation materialized in his past, both Gaias would have been raped into broken, unconscious heaps long before "evil" could come up with such a tease.

But now, it was another matter entirely. And with Gaia in particular, such a kind and loving soul, such a valued friend... the request half made him sick, half made him eager and hungry. His dark lusts, his cruel, predatory desires had never gone away, after all: he had just put them on a tight leash. He did not want to rape "good" Gaia, however. Much as part of him craved such a pleasure, such a dark act... his conscious self told him not to.

Yet he could not hesitate: evil Gaia was now in absolute prevalence within Gaia, and if he failed to force her into submission, the goddess would have continued to rampage uncontrollably, even with Shi gone.

A thousand thoughts crossed his mind at once, in a brief instant, as he looked down coldly into "evil" Gaia's eyes, and she gazed up at him with a smirk, eyes glowing mischievously as she put him to the test.

He was glad for the glow in his eyes, hiding his expression as he put a grin on his muzzle and replied firmly: "You two are one, remember... And there will be nothing of you that I don't claim as mine." As he spoke, his muscular back rippled lightly, one enormous black fleshed tentacle-cock pushing out of his flesh and easily stretching across the sky, coiling around the tiny sphere of energy which contained "good" Gaia.

Evil Gaia cooed in delight at this, licking her lips as she looked at the huge male pushing one huge, strong arm out to the side, to catch the sphere in his fingers as the tentacle pushed it closer. He did not turn towards Good, not wanting to cross her eyes yet, as he tried to bury the sinking feel of guilt in his stomach, gorging instead on the dark delight it gave him to play with Nature in that way.

He squeezed the sphere between his fingers, his musculature flexing and his bicep bulging explosively as he pumped energy into the dying manifestation of Gaia's personality... until the sphere burst apart as the Gaia contained inside grew rapidly, her body healing from the wounds and marks and fractures as the female groaned in bliss, her back arching as she expanded rapidly.

Soon, her feet touched the ground, and she opened her eyes to see with amazement that she was now just as tall as her evil sister, and not far less than Killer himself, the huge male easily dominating the both of them, his hand squeezing into her skull with a hint of his monstrous strength.

Killer took a step backwards from Evil, and roughly shoved the two females together, their hips bumping as they were left standing in front of him. He clawed into their bras: thick stone-and-magma armor for Evil, and luscious plants and flowers for Good, and he unceremoniously tore both off their flesh, exposing their ample, florid breasts in full. He growled as he slammed both against the wall, his hands sliding down their toned but barely visible abs, until his fingers gripped into the bottoms of armor and floral bikini respectively, and he tore these too off, throwing the pieces out to the opposite sides as he surveyed their firm, young, fertile - and virgin - bodies, his eyes burning with sapphire flames of lust.

To his great relief, he caught a glint in Good's eyes, and an imperceptible nod of her head... her way to let him know that he was pardoned. That he was welcome. That it wasn't true rape. It was doing what was necessary to save her... It was doing what she wanted him to do, even as she trembled and blushed deep red, her thighs rubbing together in shame and fear of his immensity.

Killer walled both females in, his massive body crushing both against the wall as he loomed over them, looking immense: his bulky, huge musculature made their slender, toned bodies look small and tender, and the gigantic black cock towering between the two females reinforced the image of two young girls pitted against a behemotic dark god. He leaned against them, grinning widely as he gripped their exposed groins, squeezing with such force to lift both off the ground, Good moaning in shock and trembling as she tried to force his huge arm back, while Evil let her tongue loll out, panting hungrily as she gripped into the titanic cock, stroking it furiously while pushing it against Good, slapping her with its mass.

Killer slowly run his fingers over their twin sexes, grinning as their juices completely soaked his hands, their desire dripping uncontrollably as he stroked the swollen labia, before he thrust one thick finger inside each female, moving them slowly into their incandescent passages, before swirling his digits slowly along their inner walls and then gliding softly over their intact hymens, smirking as both females moaned in delight at that, their hips bucking instinctively against him as shivers ran down their spines.

Evil looked up at him in eager need, even as she turned to the side to lap at his colossal cock, teasing the huge flange with quick swirls of her serpentine tongue, her eye glowing with lust as she reached up with one arm to grip into Good's skull, forcing her sister to rub her face against the other side of the enormous shaft. Good blushed furiously and trembled with a fearful moan, but after a moment, her tongue pushed out as well, and she took a slow, tender lick at the side of the enormous cockhead, lapping up precum and giant sperms, even as tears ran down her cheeks.

"Suck it." Killer commanded, his voice soft and relaxed yet carrying incredible strength as he leaned down over Good, his massive chest bulging with power as it pressed down against her breasts, his muzzle nudging hers as he slowly, hungrily licked up her tears. Good trembled a bit, but she licked her lips before opening her jaws as wide as she could, her tongue stretching out to cradle the heavy shaft as she leaned forwards, carefully moving the thick, enormous head past her sharp teeth.

"Evil" eagerly gripped into the hair of Good, grinning widely as she shoved her head down, forcing her to take the giant cock deep, until it bumped violently into the back of her throat, making her gag loudly, the shy female gripping into the thick shaft with both hands, steadying herself as best she could, as Killer gave a low growl of appreciation.

"Suck it, and move that head, sis...!" Evil eagerly ordered, gripping into Good's skull and pushing and dragging her head back and forth along the huge member, even as the other female chocked loudly, slobber bursting out of her nostrils as her neck bulged out. "He's too much of a male to be worried by your teeth.

"Shut up, cheap whore." Killer amusedly sneered, looking down into Evil's eyes as a fleshy tentacle-cock stretched out of his back and arched high above his head before diving right over the vicious side of Gaia, coiling around her body with monstrous force, making her bones creak loudly as the black appendage thrust between her breasts, then over her throat, the thick member wrapping around her neck and chocking her brutally as the cockhead of the tentacle rubbed down into her cheeks and over her face, soaking her features in his virile scent and in his precum... before it forced into her mouth as soon as her jaws opened in a groan of pain and lust. The thick tentacle smashed its way in with brutal force, her cheeks bulging outwards as it filled her jaws up, too thick for her to bite as her maws creaked loudly, her neck bulging out against the coil of the same tentacle.

Killer laughed darkly at this, enjoying the double stimulation of Evil's throat flexing against his thick flesh and the added embrace of the tentacle squeezing on her neck, adding to the pressure and the heat, as Gaia gargled and her eyes rolled back in her head, her skull rapping against the wall as the tentacle began to savagely pound her face, powerfully sawing back and forth , burying itself deep within her, all the way down into her stomach, her chest bulging out unnaturally, her ribs cracking loudly.

Her breasts would have bounced which each thrust, wasn't for the same tentacle being wrapped so viciously around her, squeezing her breasts savagely and pushing back against the bulging out of her body, adding to Killer's pleasure as her ribs snapped, her lower maw breaking a moment later with a delicious crunching of bone and cartilage as blood and slobber came out of her mouth and nostrils, the drool accumulating on her features and into her cleavage.

"Good bitches..." Killer murred as sweet, hot juices rushed down the passages of both females, their inexperienced pussies clamping down on his fingers, squeezing them in hunger, almost sucking them in deeper as he teasingly pressed against their hymens, thrusting his thick digits back and forth as their labia stuck needingly to his flesh. He rode their orgasm out, his fingers swirling quickly against their inner walls, squelching wetly as he urged their release, grinning widely as the two females spasmed in bliss, screaming around his thick meat buried deep down their throats, as their vaginas clenched again and again, their juices splashing to the ground in bursts. It ended only after long moments of bliss, their hips still bucking in the air as the last drops leaked out of them... and Killer tore his fingers out of them, grinning hungrily as he seized Good's skull in both hands, his eyes glowing at the sight of hers rolling up in her head as he laced his fingers in her watery hair, and pulled her forwards with brutal force, thrusting with his hips at the same time, pistoning his immense cock back and forth, fucking her face with growing rhythm, burying his thick, gigantic shaft deeper into her insides even as the female trembled and planted her hands on his bulging abs, weakly pushing back. Good gargled loudly, chocking on the thick meat, on the huge loads of precum filling her up, on her own drool and blood as the mixed juices burst out of the corners of her lips, out of her nostrils, the slobber plastering her features as thick ropes of it dangled back and forth from her chin, some connecting with her breasts, some lengthening more and more until they fell off, splattering heavily on the floor, or on Killer's own body.

Tears rolled down both Evil's and Good's cheeks, but they could hardly be seen as they mixed with the other fluids, with the messy mask of drool and precum, the latter becoming even thicker and preponderant as Killer dragged Good's head forwards and thrust deep at the same time, growling lustfully as he blasted another thick, massive volley deep into her stomach, much of the thick essence overflowing and bursting out of her nostrils and mouth in thick splatters, his tentacle flooding Evil in similar way.

Killer sneered as he fucked their faces for a few more moments, pounding Good with brutal force, his swinging balls ramming into her breasts like wrecking balls, the loud, wet slap of flesh on flesh echoing loud in the cave as her tender flesh was reddened and bruised by the mass of the pendulous balls of the titan. Finally, Killer pulled back, tearing his immense cock out of her throat, closing his eyes and throwing his head back to fully savor her loud chocking and gargling, before he dropped his head forwards on his chest, looking down at her as his huge shaft pulled free, popping out of her lips and followed by a thick gush of precum and drool, the female coughing violently as his member sprung up, slapping into his own chest, glorious ropes of pre and drool stretching between it and the goddess's lips.

Killer's cock pulsed powerfully, jumping a bit as it throbbed hungrily, several ropes snapping and splattering down on her and onto the floor before the huge male shoved Good back into the wall. Gaia crashed back into it with a grunt of surprise, moaning weakly as she tried to open eyes thickly coated in precum... before she shivered and let out a whine tinged with delight as his strong hands seized her by the thighs, and she was lifted high off the ground, like a toy.

Evil watched in awe and lust as Killer moved in front of her, her mouth still crammed full by his tentacle but her eyes flowing as she gazed at him. He shoved Good against her, pinning both females between his muscular, broad chest and the wall behind them... and both Gaias were left staring in breathless anticipation as he shoved Good's legs wide out to the sides, pulling her up until her soaked, tiny vagina was level with the base of his gigantic black shaft.

Good gasped quietly as the huge male ground his thick shaft slowly, teasingly over her swollen, sealed lips, his thick cum channel forcing her labia apart as he drew his immensity slowly back, until the massive head pushed against her tight entrance, Killer angling his giant shaft down against it as she shivered in bliss and fear at once.

Killer lost no time teasing, however, as he leaned over the two females, his grip on Good's hips hard enough that his claws sunk deep into her flesh, small streaks of blood rolling down her legs, with Gaia arching her back with a groan of surprise, fear, and expectations, her breasts heaving on her chest... before she screamed in both pain and pleasure as he thrust forwards and rammed his immense shaft into her, bulldozing his way into her oh-so-tight, virgin passage.

Good's legs kicked out at the air as her back arched, her eyes rolling back in her head as her labia were stretched wide open, her tight sex clenching immediately against the gigantic invader but his fat, potent head forcing into her, filling her in a way she thought impossible, the rounded head bumping immediately into her hymen even as only the head of his cock was buried into her.

She screamed again when Killer roared and slammed forwards again, pistoning his hips powerfully as his massive musculature flexed above the both of them, both Evil and Good shivering in fear and lust, tears rolling down Good's face as his enormous shaft tore two feet deep into her once-tight passage, obliterating every sign of her virginity as her abdomen visibly bulged and bloated with the size of his cock, blood bursting down her thighs, streaking down his enormous shaft, mixing with her nectar as she voiced a howl of both agony and delight at the feel of him reshaping her body, annihilating her hymen, tearing her passage open wide, pushing her organs around.

Good threw her head from side to side, pushing her hands against his muscular chest, clawing into him... but her fingers could nothing against his enormous musculature as he leaned down over her, his body flexing with the pleasure running in his veins, his hands letting go of her hips to seize her breasts instead, squeezing them roughly, rolling the firm swells together, the huge male snarling like a beast as his claws sunk into her soft flesh and he rammed forwards again, tearing half of his immense shaft into her, blood splattering thickly over his mighty abs as her pelvis loudly creaked.

Good shrieked wordlessly as she felt his immensity pushing deeper, her eyes rolling up in her head as her back arched and her body shivered hard... and Killer leaned down over her, his immense form dwarfing hers as he wrapped his mouth over her lips, his tongue invading her jaws and wrestling hers down into submission, Gaia moaning in shock, fear and delight at once as he kissed her hungrily, exploring every corner of her mouth, while his enormous cock continued to invade her tight, inexperienced passage.

Evil's hips bucked with lust, her legs spasming as a new wave of juices exploded out of her, shivers running through her form even as she continued to choke on the vicious pistons of the tentacle buried deep down her throat. Evil struggled against the tentacle wrapped around her, pushing and pulling and trashing until she managed to slip her arms through two massive coils, and she roughly seized into Good's hips, beginning to drag and push on these to force Good to buck rapidly against the male's powerful thrusts.

Good screamed in Killer's mouth as his cock buried even deeper as the huge male thrust forwards roughly again, her legs kicking out in a spasm as his monstrous thickness stretched her out, before the liger grinned as his already thick tongue morphed into a tentacle-cock, a black, massive appendage which thrust into the back of her throat, making her cough and choke loudly before it pushed down, causing her neck to bulge outwards, his kiss becoming a vicious face-fuck as the thick tentacle began to piston up and down with brutal force.

Evil moaned loudly at this, her voice muffled and lost in a gargle yet so clearly tinged with lust and delight as she only pushed harder on Good's hips, making Good buck harder back against the gigantic black shaft, as Killer pulled back from the kiss, his jaws open wide, a sneer on his face as his tentacle-tongue effortlessly grew, the thick appendage rubbing roughly into Gaia's face before sliding over her head, coiling around her neck.

Both Evil and Good shivered hard as his deep, dark chuckle sent thrills down their spines, Good's screams turning out as breathless struggling as the tentacle crushed her windpipe and at the same time filled her throat with hard flesh, pounding her face, fucking her deep, all the way to her stomach. The females arched their backs and bucked hard as cascades of their juices flushed out of their passages, powerful waves of pleasure visibly running through their bodies as Good's nectar squirted out in thick jets from around the immense girth of the male, his cock filling her so much to send her orgasm almost exploding back up through her, his immense shaft shoving up with raw power against the clenching of her ruined passage.

The huge male snarled in delight as he forced himself deeper into her, her slender, virginal body feeling incredibly tight and hot and delicious as he smashed his way through her depths, feeling his cock tearing through something within her, until he was thrusting in the coils of her guts... and he drew back slowly, blood cascading out of her devastated passage before he rammed forwards again, grinning at the sick, wet squelch that echoed from within her.

He moved one hand up to grasp the back of her neck, his claws sinking deep into her flesh as he forced her down, bending her spine as he roughly folded her up as the same time as he slammed forwards again with his immense cock... and he roared in delight as a bulge formed in her lower back, before her flesh ripped and his cock pierced through her body, pushing out of her as he hilted into her, grinning savagely down at her as several feet of his black shaft passed through, wrapped up in torn, crushed ropes of her guts, pieces of gore and blood splattering down to the ground and spraying against Evil.

Shi howled in shock at this, and Evil darted a gaze in his direction, her eyes glowing with lust and narrowing as she wordlessly mocked the parasite while she was lifted high into the air, the massive tentacle wrapped around her and fucking her face doing all the work as it coiled around her legs and forced them spread wide, pushing them back against her shoulders, exposing her soaked sex completely and lining it up against the male's enormous shaft.

Evil groaned lustfully, shivering hard in that helpless position, panting between loud cries of fear and lust at the same time, a squeak coming from her as Killer slapped the heavy, colossal top half of his shaft down onto her swollen, pulsing labia. The huge male teased her, slapping her virgin, needy sex with his heavy cock, splattering her with blood, with gore, with a mix of juices as Good moaned weakly, trembling hard.

The huge male turned towards Shi, grinning down at the parasite as it tried to flee, as it tried to move back away from the muscular titan. Killer caught him easily, spinning the damaged monster between his thick fingers, treating Shi like a mere, undignified toy and laughing as the silvery creature pushed desperately back against his thick digits, only to be crushed like a bug. Killer's tongue-tentacle pulled out of Good's mouth, retreating into his jaws and reverting to thick, forked, demonic tongue, while a tentacle stretched out of his muscular back and easily took the tongue's place down Gaia's gullet. Killer licked his lips slowly, tasting her blood, her insides, savoring her for a moment, before sneering down at Shi.

"Take a closer look, wimp..." Killer mocked, holding Shi in his hand as he reached around Good to seize his thick, enormous shaft, the parasite screaming in denial as he was pushed towards the male's immense member. "Take a look at how real male power is built."

"Don't you dare...!" Shi howled, but Killer only laughed as he crushed the parasite into the side of his gigantic cock, crushing the silvery monster with the tip of one finger before wrapping his hand around his enormous girth, leisurely stroking himself, trapping Shi between his palm and the side of his huge cock. For the parasite, it was hell as he was thrown around, ground down into the hard, hot flesh which burned him on contact. As Killer leisurely jerked off, Shi was crushed against the thick veins on the liger's cock, the parasite trembling in front of them as they loomed over him like mountains. Shi howled in pain and outrage, but it was only music to Killer's eyes, the huge male squeezing a bit harder and grinning as something popped wetly against his palm, long streaks of silver mixing with the streams of blood and the gore, the crushed guts.

Killer jerked off for a few moments, slapping his heavy shaft down on Evil's sex, but finally he caught a dizzy, horrified, damaged Shi between his fingers, and he pushed him against Gaia's sex. Evil's eyes widened a bit, glowing lustfully as she arched her back to watch past the coils of the tentacle wrapped around her, the female grunting in bliss as the parasite squirmed against her labia, pushing and kicking and trying to escape.

"No, no, no...! How dare you...! I'll rip you apart!" Shi howled, as Killer used the tip of one finger to rub him down into Evil's lips, the parasite almost drowning in her desire, his hands slipping over her soft, wet flesh. Killer only sneered, merely amused by his threats at this point, and he squished him against her clit, grinning wider as Shi let out a breathless scream at being bent over the hard nub of flesh, and ground down into it. "I'm the one doing the ripping, Shi... and it is something you can't change." Killer mocked, slapping his enormous cockhead down onto Evil's sex, and when he pulled his heavy shaft back up, Shi's body was almost broken in half, the clit having pierced through his form, leaving the parasite groaning in agony while Gaia only bucked her hips in a delighted spasm.

Killer laughed at this, scooping up the broken form of Shi with the tip of his index, and watching as the silvery materiel first melted down into a shapeless drop, then attempted to rebuild the shape of the monster's body. The huge male ground his finger over the tight, sealed passage, murring in delight at how her soaked labia stuck to his digit, almost sucking it in, until he slipped it inside her, Evil groaning in anticipation and bliss. He pushed Shi deep, until the parasite crashed into her intact hymen, and Killer pulled back his finger to guide forwards the gigantic head of his cock instead, thrusting forwards powerfully, blood spraying up in thin volleys as he stretched Evil's lips obscenely wide, forcing her passage to welcome his gigantic cockhead, the tip of his shaft smashing into Shi and into her hymen.

"No, don't do it...! Please, stop...!" Shi howled, his voice barely audible as it came from within her, Killer laughing darkly as he felt the parasite squirming hopelessly against his cock, the monster's punches and kicks barely giving the liger a thrill, and most certainly doing nothing to force him back. Killer licked his lips at the begging note now so loud and clear in Shi's cries, slowly pulling his hips back by a quarter of an inch just to slowly force forwards again, crushing Shi up Gaia's hymen, grinding him down into it, making her shiver and kick at the air lightly... before the huge male roared as he slammed forwards, his gigantic cock tearing deeper into her and obliterating her virginity in a thick splatter of blood which leaked out of her, her screams suffocated by the tentacle buried deep into her throat.

His eyes glowed with power and lust as he rammed forwards again, thrusting deeper into her, tearing her tight passage apart as blood cascaded out of her annihilated hole, Shi caught under the mass of his gigantic cock and squished into her inner walls, silvery liquid acting as mere lube, mixing with the blood, with her nectar, with his thick, potent precum, harder-than-steel, blood-soaked shaft tearing through both females with each thrust, the male's muscles bulging explosively as he dominantly covered both females, his huge testicles smashing heavily into Good's thighs and sending blood and juices bursting around in a thick rain.

Good pushed against his chest, her hands clawing at his hard, massive muscles but only adding to his pleasure as he flexed eagerly, leaning down over them with a snarl of animal lust, their blood spraying up all the way to his muzzle as he drew his hips back only to slam forwards again, picking up a pace as his lust flooded his body, the male covering both females with his enormous form. Evil arched her back violently, her legs kicking out at the air as she trashed in the grip of the enormous tentacle, her whole body bouncing with each savage piston of his immense cock, her head covered in thick slobber and messy ropes of juice, her skull banging violently against the rock-and-flesh wall against which she was pinned.

The huge male snarled in satisfaction as he thrust into them, powerfully, roughly, savagely, their blood leaking out in twin waterfalls as pounded them against the wall, hard enough that the stone parts cracked and crumbled, while the fleshy parts spasmed and bled. The heavy, majestic wet slaps of his huge balls on Good's thighs echoed across the cave as both females visibly bloated and stretched out around his thick, massive length, tears rolling down their cheeks, blood dripping down his immense cock and along the curve of his heavy balls as their passages clenched with savage, pained delight around the girthy, enormous shaft.

He gave them no mercy, fucking them viciously, snarling like a beast, his sneer made larger by the feeling of Shi attempting to piece himself back together only to be squished into liquid again, the parasite howling in despair as he was ground into droplets by the thick, colossal cock as it slammed to the hilt again and again and again, ramming powerfully into both Evil and Good, the latter groaning in agony and bliss even as she still weakly tried to resist, her arms bending as the muscles of the titan bulged with godlike, raw power.

Killer laughed as he saw the tears leaking down Evil's cheeks, the titan leaning down to lick them up, to taste her fear, her lust, her pleasure, her adoration. He tasted himself in the process, his mighty precum having soaked them in his virile essence, in sperm that his body shed to make room for more, for bigger, for stronger sperms, even though the smallest of his seeds already put to shame even those of the ancient gods of fertility. He grinned down in her eyes, the female staring up at him in awe, as his thick tongue dragged up her bulging, bloated cheek: he could feel his thick tentacle bulging her face from within her mouth, and he chuckled darkly as he felt the two females shivering violently, spasming under him, their devastated passages clamping down over his diamond-hard shaft as Evil threw her head back with a groan of delightful, pained surrender, the walls of the cave spasming and contracting as both Good and Evil began to buck back against his savage thrusts, their bodies moving in uneven, broken rhythm, but guided by uncontrollable hunger. The two females howled their delight to the sky, even though it came out as a wet, messy gurgle as the tentacles buried down their throats only thrust faster and harder, the choking sounds echoing across the cave as their bodies burned with pleasure, the two girls writhing with loud moans as powerful waves of bliss raged through them, their nectar exploding down their stretched-out passages once more. His enormous shaft pistoned back and forth powerfully, stretching them out so savagely that their juices hadn't the space to flow, the pressure within them increasing as their pearly juices could only squirt out in strong jets whenever his titanic shaft drew back, dragging their stretched labia out before ramming forwards again, thrusting with vicious power as he growled fiercely, his lust growing even greater as their fluids burst out around his thick cock, their choked screams rising through the air.

Evil and Good shrieked again, the agony only adding to the force of their release, making both females arch their back violently as their legs spasmed visibly, their passages almost ripping themselves apart with how forcefully they clenches against the mighty, enormous cock, their flesh clutching tightly the titanic invader pistoning deep into their bodies, their hips bucking back against his powerful shoves as fast and as hard as they could, completely out of time with his pistons but adding to his and their pleasure. He leaned further over them, his hands clawing into the wall as he crushed them harder between it and his potent body, muscles flexing powerfully as he put more weight and more strength into each savage piston, not holding back even as they screamed, even as he heard his name being shrieked over and over, slobber bursting out of their nostrils and their words a barely intelligible gargling, the huge male mercilessly riding their orgasm, slamming to the hilt into them, again and again and again, his long, savage thrusts completely busting their stretched vaginas as the two females convulsed weakly.

He fucked their orgasm, stretching it like he was stretching their poor, battered passages, torturing them with ecstasy that lasted for whole minutes, Evil trying to look at him but failing as her eyes continued to roll up in her head, her ears filled with his snarl of delight, with the brutal slapping of his balls on Good's bruised thighs, her expression delirious with lust and ecstasy.

Killer grinned widely as his huge shaft ripped violently in and out of them, a growl of delight coming from his throat as he savored the sensations, the thrills, the screams, the wet, ripping sound, the smashing of his balls on tender flesh, the clenching of devastated pussies on his cock, the agony of his enemy succumbing again and again to his immense shaft, the power he held over them all only adding to his bliss and lust as he leaned forwards into the wall, the stone crumbling into dust and the flesh bursting apart in thick splatters of blood as he shoved both females down, angling his heavy, powerful thrusts downwards as he spread his legs and begun to savagely pile-drive his immense shaft into them, his shaft ripping right through Good and ramming deep inside Evil, a splatter of blood exploding out of her devastated, stretched sex.

Inside Evil, Shi was living a nightmare, trapped in her incandescent, stretched out vagina, trapped in a flooded, dark inferno. The wet walls of the ruined passage ground him down into the sea of mixed juices, the red of her blood mixing with the nectar of her pleasure and with Killer's thick, potent precum. Tears rolled down Shi's cheeks, his eyes stinging with fear, rage and horror, the ancient parasite unable to believe that he was being ground into nothingness by a gigantic, godlike, impossible cock. Tears of humiliation ran down his face as he looked up at the titanic mass of the black shaft looming upon him. It filled his world completely, just as it crammed viciously full the bleeding, devastated pussy. Shi could only see a small part of the giant cock, a tiny part of it... yet it filled his vision from horizon to horizon, making him tremble in fear as he tried to slid through a fold of Evil's inner wall, crawling in a wrinkle of her flesh and trying to vanish in it, curling up in fetal position as yet one massive, train-sized sperm swam past, slowly, majestically, looking so immense and almighty...

Shi was in awe, trembling in uncontrollable terror. He had never, never been so scared before. He had fought God, he had been banished in the bottom of a Pit of Torment, encased in a crystal prison which prevented him from changing his molecular structure and which pierced across his body with a thousand blades... but he had never felt so hopeless and outclassed as he now felt, cowering at the passage of the giant sperms of his enemy, staring at the black wall of flesh of his cock as it thrust past his hiding place.

Shi was aroused, somewhat. He was a sexless being, but felt male... and in front of such a display of power, of size, of virility, he couldn't help but think that it was what he dreamed. The kind of power he dreamed to obtain. But his admiration for Killer's power was drowned by his fear, his horror: the worst part was that Killer wasn't giving him any attention at all. No, Killer was brutally pounding not one, but two pussies... and he was a mere contour, an added thrill for his gargantuan shaft.

Shi stared at the gigantic cock in awe and terror, seeing and feeling it burying itself deep into Evil, enormous veins rushing past his point of view as what felt like miles and miles and miles of shaft rammed forth... and Shi counted the seconds before the flesh around him clenched and spasmed, Evil's passage flexing as Killer drew his gigantic shaft backwards.

Shi sighed in despair, sobbing in disbelief. There was nothing he could do about it, he had already tried... he had kicked, punched, slashed, morphed his body into sharp blades and spikes, but in his current state he could nothing against the thick flesh of Killer's cock. He just waited for the inevitable, by now: there was no resisting and no hiding. He didn't want to even try and resisting anymore, because he feared all he would accomplish would be give even greater pleasure to the titan.

His body still stiffened as he felt the bend in her flesh stretching and distending, and his feet and hands instinctively tried to hold on for dear life to her bloody, torn wall... but as the gigantic shaft tore his way back out of Evil, it dragged her fleshy walls and labia out of her, distending and stretching them out to the max. Shi screamed as his hiding place was pulled flat, and he was crushed against Killer's cock by a flex of Evil's passage. He howled in pain as the lower half of his body was caught over a vein of the immense shaft, and crushed into liquid, his legs and lower torso bursting apart in a small wet splatter, he gritted his teeth in shock as something pushed forcefully from below, and Evil's inner wall bulged inwards, pressing even harder against Killer's cock, as a bulge traveled down deep.

Shi understood what had happened only an instant before being ground flat, squished into silvery liquid for the hundredth time. As he realized it, he couldn't help but laugh maniacally, his envy for Killer's absurd power flaring: the titan had just forced an immense tentacle-cock into Evil's, and no doubt Good's, asshole. He had claimed them whole, mercilessly, busting all of their holes, exercising full, uncontested domination over the goddesses, reducing both to powerless, helpless, pinned toys for his pleasure.

Outside, the battle was raging no less brutally, when Shi's assaults on the mind channel lead Killer and Alexis to shattering another of their Seals. Despite the combined assaults of Taranis and even Thanathos, Gaia was still proving quite unstoppable: for all the damage and devastation the two gods could cause, Nature always took all they could dish out, and paid them back with even more. The coils of her serpentine body extended across the whole of what had been the Fourth Sky, and she was actually still growing, crushing the nearby Heavens as she wrestled Killer back, trying to crush him in her coils.

Between them, brutally squeezed in her coils, was the Divine Tree, still standing upon a small island of stone surrounded by an ocean of magma and destruction, the barrier around it cracked and glowing crimson as if to visibly signal its fatigue. Yet, Elelyon's ancient shield was holding, and it was amazing, as Gaia's powerful serpentine body ground into it with world-shattering force.

Alexis, Ira, Vesta and the others had to help in containing Gaia, but at the same time had to restrain Taranis and Thanathos when they seemed to be damaging the goddess of Nature too badly... and Thanathos in particular was proving to be a fearsome adversary, as he could attack the very soul and living energies of Nature, regardless of the invulnerability of a body that regenerated at impossible rate and that could become watery to literally absorb any physical attack without sustaining any lasting damage.

The battle almost stopped, however, when Killer and Alexis's Seals shattered, and they grew in power and size, their eyes glowing a bright sapphire as they pushed back against the gods with ever increasing strength. Thanathos looked down at them with interest, his crimson eyes narrowing to fissures as he gazed over Killer as the liger grew taller and even more muscular, his massive form thrumming with power and energy crackling in bolts all around him.

The God of Death however continued to drag on ethereal chains which stretched from his grip to a series of curved daggers which had pierced into Gaia's inner energies, into her vital force. The cloaked master of Death flew backwards, pulling with all his force on the chains, trying to rip that precious, immense energy out of the possessed female, electricity crackling down the thick chains even as the links glowed with black flames.

Gaia was gargling, the light in her eyes fading in and out as her soul flickered in and out of view, covered in wounds that pulsed a bright crimson as the daggers sunk deep into her core... but the goddess nonetheless resisted, blasting Thanathos repeatedly with enormous blue thunderbolts which crashed down from the sky above.

Thanathos gritted his teeth with a snarl, as his massive scythe danced in the air around him, slashing into the thunderbolts and absorbing them, protecting its master... before everyone on the battlefield stared in shock as Killer roared, arching his back and towering, immense and radiating sheer physical power, over the battlefield. The gigantic male liger seized Gaia's neck, his fingers crushing her throat with brutal, otherworldly force as he single handedly forced her back, before he seized into Thanathos's chains with his other hand, snapping them apart like weak strings, the broken links dissolving into motes of dark energy.

Thanathos recoiled backwards with a snarl of surprise and fury, gripping his deadly scythe and spinning it as he rushed towards Killer, but Lemuel pulled up in front of the dark god, his hands held up towards Death as he implored: "No, please. Let him do. He'll rip Shi out."

"No, he won't, and you know it." Thanathos hissed, flying forwards and rushing past the lion, who looked at him in shock for a moment, before biting his lip as he thought rapidly of what to do. Lemuel did not want a fight with Thanathos, a war he knew he could not win, but he could still gain time: he clapped his hands and then threw his arms out as a bright, blinding light exploded from his palms, turning the dark into day, as everything became white, drowning in pure, warm, holy light, even the shadows vanishing for a few long moments.

Thanathos winced in shock and pain as the light washed over him, shutting his eyes and dropping his head on his chest as he threw his ancient, black cloak over his head, snarling in fury and retreating quickly away from the luminescent lion.

Taranis, on the other side of the battlefield, was left staring in awe as Alexis grew in front of him, her power increasing fearsomely, her muscles bulging explosively as she gripped into his hurricane of weapons and ghosts and sharp wind, and choked it in her grip like it was a living thing, forcing it away from her and literally throwing it back towards him.

The god of war easily dispelled the black tornado before it could strike into him, but as he stepped forwards to press on another attack, he saw that Alexis had turned to wrestle Sekhmeth instead, the two gigantic goddesses grappling in hand to hand combat and pitting their monstrous strengths against each other. He snarled at the apparent snub, charging forwards with a heavy, enormous mace, determined to strike in the back of Alexis, but Ira charged against him instead. The cobra's eyes glowed a bright emerald, and she was grinning viciously, a bit of drool falling from her jaws as she flexed powerfully, her muscles bulging explosively as energy crackled around her and her collar glowed brilliantly. Ira was growing as well, her body flooded with new energies as her master's power increased... and she grinned widely when Taranis swung his heavy mace against her and she pushed one arm out to parry, the impact barely denting her scales as she licked her lips. The god of war roared and assaulted her with all his arms handling a different weapon, but the goddess only eagerly flexed her enormous musculature as she pulled up her long, agile katanas, the chains wrapped on her forearm whip-lashing through the air to clash against Taranis's blades. The god of war had six arms and weapons, but Ira's chains allowed her to resist and fight back almost on conditions of parity, each clash of their weapons resulting in enormous explosions which sent tall waves of magma crashing in all directions, the ocean of fire shifting under them, crushed by the fearsome forces in game.

In the middle of it all, Killer snarled as he crushed Gaia's throat in his grip, lifting her off the ground even as she clawed into his arm. She was in her watery form, but it no longer allowed her to escape, as the huge male pumped energy into her to keep her in one piece, making it impossible for her to just flow through his fingers. He leaned forwards, pushing almost nose to nose with her as he growled: "There is no more time, Gaia... snap out of it! You don't have to be a destructive monster, and you don't have to be a prisoner of rules and conventions... You don't need Shi to be who you are. Let me help you."

"Give me my money shot, master..." Gaia rasped, grinning even as he choked her, her eyes glowing brightly. "Show me that you are not a prisoner of the rules yourself... show me that you have the power and the will to use it... Shatter the barrier, Lord Killer... show me that you have the power..."

Killer recoiled, gaping slightly as he gazed into her eyes, shocked by her request, and horrified by the implications. Breaking the barrier that God himself had put up around the Holy Tree, the most divine and sacred feature of Heaven... it was a crime difficult to even describe.

He swallowed, gazing up to see Alexis struggling against Sekhmeth, Ira, Vesta and Manticora battling with Taranis, Lemuel, Alcana and Adrasthea trying to obstacle a furious Thanathos, and he saw Gaia's coils moving over towns and villages in the nearby Heavens, almost hearing the screams of despair, even from thousands of kilometers of distance. He couldn't hesitate. Every instant meant more lives lost, and the risk of losing some of his loved ones.

"Why...?" He asked, shaking his head slowly. With Shi defeated, but not eradicated from within her, he wasn't sure who he was talking to. Could it be Shi still...? No, he was pretty sure it was Gaia. It was "Evil" that was speaking... but he needed a sign, a confirmation of any kind... "Why? Is it really your wish, or is it Shi's?"

The goddess sneered, her eyes glowing as she tilted her head slightly to the side as she purred: "It really is both. Shi wanted me to destroy the Tree... I, instead, want to see you destroying it. If you are no slave of the rules, surely you can do that, no...?"

Killer snarled, crushing her windpipe with rage, but she only closed her eyes in bliss even as she rasped painfully, adding: "Eradicate that tree, master... it is the mark of another God... it has to vanish as you take over this world..."

"I don't want to take over this world." Killer snarled, even as he dropped his other hand on top of the damaged barrier, clawing into it. "But I want to bring you back." He added, before closing his eyes as he squeezed the wall of energy in his hand, his bicep bulging explosively as he pressed down onto the barrier... and Gaia groaned in awe and delight as it exploded, shattering like fragile glass, the fragments falling to the ground and vanishing into motes of energy that were absorbed greedily into Killer's toes, without the huge male even noticing.

"The tree, Master, the tree... don't spare it..." Gaia urged, and Killer seized into the green, luscious foliage, the enormous branches snapping like twigs as his fingers wrapped around the thick, gigantic trunk, the massive wood cracking in his deadly grip, and the first gigantic roots breaking out of the ground as soon as he began to pull, Gaia staring in awe and arousal at the ease with which he uprooted the Holy Tree, like it was but a blade of grass...

Somewhere down below, the little sanctuary to Azura fell apart, magma washing over the flowers and burning them into ashes, as the statue of the goddess crumbled into fragments and dust as a miles-long root was ripped out of the ground... and Killer felt a tear run down his cheek. At the same time, he also felt a rush of arousal, as his power reshaped the world. As his strength so easily destroyed the once glorious manifestation of God's power on Heaven.

Inside Gaia, Killer was savoring incredible carnal delight, pleasure burning in his veins, coming from all sides, as his enormous musculature flexed and bulged against the two females, crushing them under his massive form as he roared in dark delight, the whole cave shaken to its foundations as he savagely pistoned his immense black shaft in and out of the two females, licking his lips as their blood run down his fingers, streaked down his arms, splattered over his chest and all the way up to his muzzle and flowed in waterfalls out of their annihilated holes.

The two goddesses couldn't even scream, couldn't even orgasm properly, no longer owning their bodies as they were savaged from all sides, his tentacles slamming in and out again and again and again, fucking their mouths and assholes, obliterating their once tight holes and thrusting, twisting, grinding against her insides, causing their bodies to bulge grotesquely out of shape as they were completely filled up by his potent fuckmeat. The tentacles squeezed down into the huge male's cock, his virile members grinding together within her, separated only by thin layers of her ruined insides, as the immense, serpent-like bodies of the tentacles coiled around their outside, as well, crushing what left of them down onto the mass of moving cocks buried deep inside.

He was everywhere, filling them up completely, wrapping them up in his tentacles, as their eyes bulged in agony and yet burning with a monstrous pleasure which made them delirious, their legs kicking out uselessly as they still tried to buck their hips against his thrusts, giving all they could as they felt his cocks teasing every inch of their insides and of their outsides, as they tried their best to scream around the thick, immense tentacles buried down their throats.

They couldn't do much more than choke and gargle, however, their lungs filled with precum, their jaws locked around his thick meat, their necks bulging out in the shape of his tentacle, their faces masks of precum, juices and blood. They were too full and too savagely stretched to have strength left: their muscles were distended, torn, stretched savagely, and their savaged passages could no longer clench, but their pleasure was delicious, insane, a mix of ecstasy and agony, juices dripping out of them steadily as they bounced helplessly with the power of his pistons, giving choked, muffled cries and shrieks with each fast, hard thrust of his monstrous cock as he used them like nothing more than toys.

"You are mine, whores..." Killer said, matter-of-factly, grinning viciously as he slammed to the hilt into them, again and again, loving the amazing feeling of thrusting into the coils of his own powerful tentacles, his girthy, massive members grinding forcefully together, separated only by thin layers of the female's bodies, their bodies almost destroyed yet burning with pleasure as they gargled weakly, somehow managing to let out loud cries even as precum burst out of their nostrils in thick eruptions, their faces turned into masks of slobber and thick precum. He threw his head back with a roar of lust as their bones cracked loudly, their ribs almost breaking out of their chests as they bulged out in the shape of twisting, enormous tentacles wrapped around his even greater cock as he tore over and over into their destroyed holes, ramming harder and faster, building up an even stronger beat as his heavy, enormous testicles slammed over and over into his own tentacles and in that little Gaia's skin not completely wrapped up in his strong appendages. The huge male finally roared triumphantly, and the two females somehow managed to let out a real scream, even if messy and muffled, even as the tentacles pistoned even more ferociously inside them, as both Evil and Good writhed in his grip and bucked wildly, feeling the first gigantic eruptions of the liger's load blasting into them with cannon-like force.

That first volley alone, filled them up with savage force, so much of the thick semen flooding their insides that much of it burst back out around his thick shafts, more of it gushing out of their mouths and even out of their nostrils, the two goddesses trembling helplessly in a mix of shock and delight and agony as blast after blast after blast followed the first deluge, the tentacles pumping just as generously as his titanic obsidian cock, their bodies bulging out as they were crammed full of thick sperm. It was only after many long moments that the tentacles buried down their throats ripped their way out of their jaws, arching violently in the air above them even as they continued to blast thick, enormous volleys of cum over their faces, and far past them, plastering the walls of the cave as Evil and Good coughed and almost vomited up sperm as the thick load gushed out of their mouths.

Killer continued to pound them mercilessly all along, even as excess sperm burst out of them and splattered thickly over his own balls and over his abdominals, even up his chest, the huge male laughing viciously as he continued to thrust in and out of them, eyes burning with delight and power as he watched them squirm powerlessly in his grip, soaked in his semen, bloated with his immense load, coughing up thick gouts of it as it pooled in their cleavages, steaming hot and filled with giant, potent sperms.

Shi was completely forgotten at this point, but had he looked, he might have noticed a few silvery drops lost in the ocean of thick cum, the parasite destroyed by his ferocious thrusting, and his organic material dispersed in a sea of cum, the small drops slapped around by the giant sperms as they rushed around.

"You are mine. And you are not Evil, nor Good. You are Gaia... motherly Nature, and unstoppable force of destruction." Killer said, looking down at the two females as they did their best to look up at him, their mouths open and tongues stretched out as the huge tentacle continued to blast thick load all over their features.

"We are yours. We are Gaia." The two females rasped, their throats clogged up with thick, potent load, and more and more of it firing into their mouths and over their bodies.

"No side of your personality will ever need imprisonment again." Killer firmly stated. "You will be you. And I will be the one holding you on a leash."

"As our Master wishes." The two females replied without hesitation... and Killer slowed down his vicious pistons, his enormous tentacles ripping out of their annihilated assholes, followed by thick waterfalls of blood-stained cum, and he tore his immense shaft back out of them as the bodies of the two females glowed brightly white as Good twisted around with a groan of pain and delight at once, screwing herself upon his immense shaft as she turned and hugged Evil's waist, kissing the devastated, bleeding hole which had been a virgin sex until that day as their shapes lost coherence and began to merge back into one.

Killer pulled back out of them, and Gaia fell down to the floor, splashing into a thick sea of his cum and of her blood and juices, the female coughing hard and vomiting thick cum up even as she eagerly rolled into the lake of semen, her hands rubbing the thick, virile essence into her features, all over her breasts, down her arms, into her hair, plastering her whole form in his cum as her eyes burned with lust and adoration, looking up at him in submission as he loomed over her, immense and victorious, his tentacles rising in the air around him as he grinned down at her from past his colossal, gigantic obsidian shaft. He was still pumping out his last few volleys, his heavy load splashing down on her again and again as she hungrily bathed in it, moaning his name over and over, staring as even his huge hand could only wrap around a part of the thick base of his enormous shaft, the huge male stroking himself leisurely, powerful legs spread wide and his huge balls looking just as heavy and bloated as before, ready to go again, and again, and again...

Finally, it ended, and Gaia licked her muzzle hungrily, scooping up thick semen and swallowing it in gulps before purring a single word: "Master..."

Killer smiled down at her, squeezing the last heavy drops out of his immense shaft... before saying softly: "See you on the other side, Gaia."

It all happened almost in the same instant.

His orgasm inside her happened just as he was tearing up the Holy Tree on the outside. It took both events to force Evil to submit, and to force Gaia's different souls back together.

From there, it all happened incredibly quickly: Killer smiled as he saw Gaia's expression and sanity return to her eyes, the goddess blinking in shock and confusion, but managing to smile at him weakly... before she coughed hard, and turned to the side to spat out a gout of silvery goo.

Both Killer and Gaia turned to this with snarls of fury... but before they could do anything, the world under them rattled violently, and an immense, alien force took hold of Heaven, beginning to literally drag the different Skies around like they were nothing but carpets, as Gaia and Killer themselves were dragged down with impossible strength.

They turned back to stare at the liger's hand, wrapped around the Holy Tree as it was ripped completely out of the ground: it turned black in mere instants, shriveling down to a death husk and falling apart in a puff of ashes and dust, revealing what the tree had hidden for all the Eons past: a sharply pointed obelisk of lucid black stone.

Killer had only a moment to stare at this in surprise and shock... before realizing that the obelisk was broken, shattered by his grip and by the sudden exposure, cracks spreading through its imposing mass, from the tip down to its foundations. Energy glowed into the cracks, and then crackled with terrible violence as the obelisk exploded into fragments.

The massive explosion that followed blasted Gaia and Killer away like they were gnats, the two divinities taking hold of each other's hand as they were slapped high into the sky, their screams completely drowned out by the otherworldly, low roar of the tremendous, cosmic forces he had just released.

Killer shut his eyes with a cry of pain as ancient, immense energy washed over him, burning through his system with such brutal force than he shrunk back down to his normal sizes, his body smoldering and tears of blood rolling down his cheeks as he vomited a gout of blood and inner fluids, pain throbbing in every inch of his body.

He forced his eyes open, even as energy still crackled through his form with even the smallest movement, a breathless groan escaping his lips as he found himself floating in space, looking down at Heaven from far, far above. He hugged himself, grunting at the pain he felt in his chest, winded... but he gazed quickly from side to side, trying to locate his loved ones, even as a noise that hadn't been heard since Creation deafened him.

He spotted Gaia, the female floating not far away, her body back to normal as well... And he saw Alexis and Ira next, the two females also back to normal sizes, looking pained and tired, but otherwise fine, and Alexis was actually hugging Manticora to her chest, her strong arms providing protection to the more vulnerable zebra. He then spotted Vesta, and Adrasthea, and Alcana, further away to his left, and he even saw Taranis in the distance, the god of war looking shocked as he had been forced back to his normal size and appearance, his eyes wide as he studied his hands in disbelief.

What did I do...? What did I unleash...? Killer wondered, biting his lower lip and looking down in shock as the whole of Heaven rippled and trembled like a body in agony, as tremendous thunderbolt-like discharges of cosmic energy shot across space from where the Holy Tree had once stood. The Fourth Sky, which had already been pretty much pulverized in the fight, now was completely erased, as a sinkhole formed in the ocean of magma, the liquid fire flowing down the expanding abyss as it became a hungry, insatiable pit of annihilation.

In mere instants, all the magma was gone, Killer's eyes widening as he realized with horror that he was staring at a growing black hole, reality trembling around it as it dragged Time and Space into an impossible stretch, with a low, apocalyptic roar which filled his head with thrumming pain.

Heaven had always been a special plane of existence, flat and circular. At its centre, it had the vast Middle Sea, with the islands of the Orion constellation, and all around that mysterious and dangerous ocean, the Meadows formed a first circle, followed by the 7th Heavens proper.

But now, to the shock of everyone, a new, monstrous force was reshaping the ancient rules, as the Fourth Sky was replaced by an abyss of darkness and destruction with a gravitational force which just couldn't be resisted.

The other Skies were dragged around like carpets, a cataclysmic power forcing to bend, as the Middle Sea, the Meadows and the first three Skies were dragged down into the Black Hole, beginning to sink into darkness, while the outer Heavens were forced up, the flat Dimension expanding, growing larger, the towns growing far apart as new deserts, new continents appeared upon the land like stains on a cloth that was being stretched.

Heaven was broken in two halves, the flat Dimension being warped into a curved planet... but one which was monstrous and deformed and broken, as half of it turned into a gigantic bowl, and the other half into an absurd funnel suspended far above the bowl, the two halves growing far apart from each other.

Killer was left speechless, his heart racing in shock in his chest... as he realized that he, and Gaia and all the others, were actually spinning through space, dragged forwards by the black hole as it continued to warp and reshape Heaven.

Taranis teleported away with a roar of fury, escaping from that apocalypse... and Killer was tempted to do the same, but did not dare to actually run away from his sin. He was responsible of that indescribable destruction, and he had to put a stop to it. I just have no idea how... As he tried to think of what to do, he saw that Sekhmeth also teleported away, a grin of interest and amusement on her face as she gazed at him, and then at the destruction he had caused. He suspected that she would have watched the next phases from a distance... But that was the last of his worries.

Killer dived down towards the very centre of the apocalypse, grunting as the tremendous gravitational force of the black hole quickly began to squeeze his body in a vice of simply fearsome power, his bones creaking and snapping even as he focused his energies, accumulating them in his body, flames of gold and of pitch black burning around him as reality trembled violently and time vibrated with the energy crackling out of him.

He rushed down the obscure hole, watching in Horror as he saw the continents of Heaven shifting and cracking apart, before he spotted an island floating over towards the edge of the hole, drawing closer to the abyss: it was Ira's Garden, the only remaining fragment of the Fourth Sky, still wrapped in a barrier made of his own energies, and still full with the people evacuated from Kemuel.

Killer dived deeper down the hole, however, even as he shrieked in pain, feeling like his organs would soon explode out of his ears, barely able to see or sense anything as he approached the very core of the ravenous monstrosity. The core was a relatively small sphere, not larger than a car, but of such weight and density to deform the universe and warp space and time. It had the mass of several planets or stars put together and compressed down into a tiny space, its density having grown to insane levels, making it harder than any known material, including Godblood. Around that black core, which sucked in even light, a vortex of ancient, supernatural forces dragged the skies of Heaven towards doom.

He slashed out one fist, letting his energies flood down his arm and erupting them towards the small sphere... but he groaned in horror a moment later as it proved useless, or rather counterproductive, as his energy was greedily absorbed by the sphere, which pulsed larger even as it increased its density even more, dragging everything down with ever increasing power.

It lead him to the terrible realization that he had to do it physically... and he couldn't crush the small sphere out of existence. The more he squeezed, the more its density would have augmented, making it only worse.

No. He had to pull it apart, and absorb it, to prevent the gravitational force to just crush everything back together once more... and the closer he got to the core, the greater the forces tearing at his body and dragging on his limbs became, the black hole trying to rip him apart well before he could even come close to the core.

Alexis swallowed as she looked down into the black hole, following Killer's descent with concern in her eyes, biting her lip nervously as she thought of how he could best help him, before trading a nod of agreement with Ira as the cobra touched her shoulder lightly and tilted her head towards the floating island of the Garden, which was about to fall into the deadly abyss.

The two goddesses sprang into action, moving in the opposite directions, their massive musculature bulging and sweat rolling down their perfect forms as they defied the world-shattering gravity pull of the black hole to take position. Alexis flew towards the centre of the immense dark void, her eyes glowing and fearsome force crackling around her arms as she gathered her energies in her hands, before pointing them down at the edges of the Black Hole, snarling as she struggled to squeeze into the vortex. Thunderbolts of energy exploded from her hands and crashed with world-annihilating force into the walls of the pit, the goddess roaring as she pushed her arms out, shoving back against the vortex of dark energy.

The vortex first slowed down, then almost ground to a stop as the goddess's enormous strength gripped into it, before the narrow, deep hole was stretched brutally, the female forcing the pit to open up wider, reducing the crushing forces within it, so that Killer could move with greater ease towards the core.

Ira, on her part, rushed towards the Garden, making a shoving gesture in its direction and catching the huge island with a grip of telekinetic force, pushing the luscious, suspended valley back away from the deadly maw of the Black Hole, her eyes glowing deep emerald as she gazed down at the terrified crowd of angels and Benevolents. They looked tiny and lost, their faces warped by terror and shock as they stood near the sapphire, dome-shaped barrier of energy which had protected them from the apocalyptic fight, looking up at her in awe and fear. They begged her for their safety, they prayed her to save them all, and most of them fell on their knees, bowing before her, awestruck, as they gazed over her immense, beautiful and powerful body with adoration and envy.

The goddess's lips crested slightly up in a grin, even as her fangs were tightly gritted with the intensity of her effort, as she pushed her arms out to the side to grip not just into the Garden, but into the edge of the Fifth Sky, pushing it back as it was dragged down into the deadly jaws of the Black Hole. Once, much of that same people would have arrogantly looked down at her, and avoided her, ostracizing her origins and denying even her achievements as a Seraphim... it was admittedly quite nice to now have their destiny in her fingertips, and have them worshipping her, adoring her, and envying her power.

Gaia, Alcana, Adrasthea, Lemuel, Vesta and Manticora did all they could to help: the gods took position alongside the immense circumference of the Black Hole's mouth, pushing back the Heavens as they were dragged to their doom, while Vesta and Manticora had to stay away from the tremendous vortex, using their energies to help as best they could from a safe distance. As demi-goddesses, even if exceptionally gifted, they wouldn't have had a chance against the universe-warping forces at play in the middle of the dark void: even staying well away from the vortex, their bodies trembled violently, as the tremendous gravitation attraction pulled viciously on their organism, making their bones creak loudly as sweat rolled down their spasming musculature.

Killer closed his eyes with a grunt of relief as the deadly pressure partially eased, the huge male grinning as he felt Alexis's immense energies flooding the Black Hole and crushing its gravitational force, allowing him to beat his mighty wings, propelling himself down towards the core.

The problem now became surviving the core's pull, and avoiding getting swallowed by it as he got close, the huge male using his own energy to form a shield between himself and the dark sphere, before he grunted as he slowly reached up for the handles of the Azura blades, his arms nearly imploding as he moved against such tremendous pressures to draw the swords out... and he roared, slamming them down into the sides of the sphere, panting as the core tried to immediately swallow them, dragging him forwards until his chest crashed into his own shield of energy.

He planted his feet onto the shield, and used it to steady himself as he began to pull the swords forwards, the blades glowing with his energies as they slowly tore through the super-dense material... and Killer roared in agony and effort as his back arched violently, his spine almost snapping, his nervous system on fire as he began to absorb the core of the Black Hole inside himself.

His eyes glowed a white, impossible light, his mane floating around his head in tendrils which almost looked alive, his bangs almost turning into tentacles as reality trembled violently around him, enormous, unholy thunderbolts of energy crackling up in arcs across the depth of the pit as the Black Hole shivered and was rattled by a deafening whine. It sounded almost like the cry of agony of a living being, a surreal, distant sound which sounded like billions of voices mixed violently together, and the vortex slowed down further, cracks appearing in the pit's wall as Killer howled in pain, but was surrounded by the translucent image of his body, only increased to planet-dwarfing sizes.

Alexis and the others gazed down at this in awe, as an image of Killer at simply godlike scale faded in and out of existence, growing even bigger each time it became visible.

Killer, however, did not notice it, the male too lost in pain and effort as he gritted his fangs so hard to make the teeth creak. He realized after a moment, however, that while the pain continued to be excruciating, he was finding it progressively easier to cut through the Black Hole's core. His eyes darted open in surprise, and he gazed down at his arms, grunting as he saw his musculature bulge even bigger, his bulk increasing, his tone and hardness improving dramatically, his power augmenting dramatically as he absorbed the dark core. It burned his insides in a way that made him vomit blood, but the dark, super-dense core was adding to his strength: he was adding the Black Hole's force to his own.

He asked himself how he could do that, but found no answer. Instead, he tried to dismiss the thought altogether, and he tried to forget the fear that such a power put into him, telling himself that he should just be glad he had the means to put a stop to the cataclysm before the whole of Heaven was swallowed by the Black Hole.

Alexis looked down at Killer with attention, relieved to see that he was doing the impossible, but still worried, aware that something could have gone horribly wrong at any moment. She looked up sharply as she felt a sudden disturbance in the energies around herself, and a thought passed through her mind in the very same instant.

Where did Thanathos go...?

She snarled in fury, spotting the cloaked god as he appeared right above the center of the Black Hole, a massive spear of dark energy in his hand, his back already arched and his arm cooked back for the throw.

She sent a tremendous blast of psychic force in his direction, immediately knowing that his intentions were hostile, but it was too late: her force rippled across deep space as Thanathos vanished from the spot, the spear thrown down into the pit, as her roared: "Coward!"

The spear rushed down the pit at impossible speed, crackling loudly as it lengthened, turning almost into a black laser as it shot through Killer's back, through the shield of energy, and through the Black Hole's core, its long body stuck through all of these, effectively nailing Killer to the dark core.

The liger threw his head back with a roar of agony, his voice drowned down into breathless silence as discharges of black and white energy crackled along the pole of the spear, piercing him from side to side again and again as the energy rushed from one tip to the other, burning through him with each passage as his blood leaked onto the core.

Alexis's eyes bulged in horror as she gazed down at his agony, tears rolling down her cheeks as she saw him continue to tear the Azura blades through the Black Hole's core, even as his body burned and his muscles spasmed painfully. She rushed forwards, but cursed under her breath as she realized that she couldn't stop pushing the walls of the vortex back away from him.

Ira and the others rushed forwards as well, but it was Gaia who shot down the pit first, gesturing to them to keep protecting Heaven as she went to his aid, tears flying from her eyes.

She couldn't believe to the display of courage and strength in front of her eyes, as Killer continued to rip apart the core of the Black Hole, and she gaped in awe as it finally snapped in half, the Azura blades tearing right across it, leaking black matter.

The core exploded into fragments, but its gravitational field was still so strong that, after moving mere inches, the rests already began to collapse back on each other, rebuilding the core anew.

Killer roared, even as his head was burned down almost to the skull, his fingers consumed to the bones but still clawing into the dark material as he absorbed it into himself, before Gaia grunted as a flash of light blinded her, rushing up out of the pit... and when she managed to recover her vision, the violent flashes of light clearing out of her eyes, all that was left was Killer, floating in space, silent and unconscious, energy crackling over his smoldering form as his body twitched weakly, his face a skull, his heart visible through his burned chest, the organ still pumping even as the pole of the burning spear was mere millimeters away, piercing through him from side to side.

Gaia floated towards him, crying silently as she touched his shoulder, caressing him lovingly as her other hand gripped into the spear.

Terrible energy crackled immediately into her arm, burning it with tremendous ferocity, but she only snarled as she snapped the pole, breaking it like a twig. She carefully tore the remains of the spear out of his body, his blood splattering onto her chest and face as she threw the pieces of the weapon away, before pushing her hands over his skull, white energy glowing in her fingers as she helped his healing and regeneration, silent tears of love and sorrow rolling down her muzzle.

In a moment, Alexis was at her side, doing the same, and all the others followed, only Lemuel standing a bit back, as a sign of respect, letting the females take care of their lover and master, their friend and guide.

It went almost unnoticed that the Black Hole was no more, the vortex dissolved, the core vanished, absorbed into Killer's body. Heaven was now broken in half, with what had once been its central region now floating many thousands of miles away, lower down in space, with the other half of Heaven floating high above. Ira's Garden stood on its own, orbiting near the confines of the top half of Heaven, as a little island floating in deep space. The devastation was unprecedented... but Killer had at least stopped it from becoming a true and complete apocalypse.

Ripples of energy still traveled through space, a clear sign of the spectacular violence of what had just happened... and Lemuel looked at those with a gulp, shaking his head slowly. It was still impossible to fully understand what had just happened. And it would take even longer to map out the destruction and the changes, and discover what was left of Heaven. The God of Light shed a tear, rubbing at his eyes furiously as he thought of Lord God, of Elelyon: what would God think of their failure in preserving the world he had created...? It was a thought that threw him into despair. He felt responsible for the disaster, and for a moment even thought that it would have been better to side with Taranis, and kill Gaia.

That was just the matter of a moment, though: as he looked down at the goddess of Nature, he told himself that no, he could have never tried to kill such a loving soul, such a precious friend. Elelyon himself would have sacrificed the Holy Tree in exchange for Gaia's life, he was sure of it. Or at least, he liked to believe it, as it eased his guilt and his remorse. He couldn't shake off the painful thought of how many must have died all over Heaven, and how many more must have lost their homes and all their properties in the cataclysm. Had it been a fair deal...? How many lives was Gaia worth...?

Lemuel tried to shake the bad thoughts away, gazing down over the unconscious Killer, wondering how powerful the liger was, and how much stronger he could get, and especially asking himself if he would be a force for good, or a conqueror crushing the universe under his heel. But then the lion frowned, first guessing, and then clearly perceiving a weird energy signature in the space around Killer... And he met Alexis's eyes as the goddess looked up sharply as well. He walked forwards quickly, cursing under his breath while the other females looked up as well, as tiny, barely visible silvery droplets rushed down towards the horrible wound in the liger's chest.

Alexis caught three of the larger drops in one hand and crushed them into vapor with a snarl of pure hate, while Alcana and Adrasthea tried to seal his wounds with a layer of divine cloth, as Ira, Vesta, Gaia, Manticora and Lemuel tried to blast the droplets away... but Shi only laughed in his incorporeal form, continuing to sneak into Killer's body even when destroyed down to vapor.

"Get out of him, maggot...!" Alexis snarled, using her psychic grip to tear Shi's essence out, tears of rage and frustration rolling down her cheeks as she failed to protect her love... but then she gaped as Killer's hand seized her wrist, and his sapphire eyes opened, glowing brightly with all his power, and that of the absorbed Black Hole as well.

He looked at her softly, and his lips crested in a smile, even with half of his face still burned down to the bone and slowly, painfully regenerating, the huge male then watching down at his chest as Shi forced his way in... before Killer grinned, and allowed his regeneration to speed up dramatically, his wounds beginning to seal themselves at amazing rate as the parasite got fully inside of him.

"Let him do, Alexis... This is the last mistake he ever commits." Killer calmly said, his eyes full of cold determination, before filling with love instead as Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek with adoration, closing her eyes as she pulled him into her chest, rocking him slowly from side to side, the other females adding their hug, wrapping their arms around the two lovers. He smiled warmly, closing his eyes and taking a few breaths, trying to normalize his breathing, his heartbeat, his everything, as horrible agony continued to pulse in his body, and his adrenaline still pumped at full rate.

It had been a damn close thing.

And as he looked up at the floating remains of Heaven, high above in space, he was painfully aware that the horror had just begun... and that he had added a new and most tremendous crime to the already scary list of atrocities he had committed in his life.

However, Gaia was safe, and as she kissed his cheek gently, he smiled a bit. He had also added a most wonderful action to the list of the good things, at least. He was so glad to have her back.
