With us being thoroughly shaken and rattled by this new information. Tahny received a mental message from Lady Zozoly and was forced to bid us farewell. But before he has completely entered his home within the void. He turned to speak his final words, until our paths were to cross again within the distant future.
"With all this information that I've spilled to you, train well. Be astute and tough within your trials, and survive well. For you two are amongst the many few who will be true beacons of light against the darkness that will consume your Omniverse from all sides. Do well to change your date, for you have been warned!" Tahny snarled at us as if to say, "you better survive". We could only nod alongside the others as the hole he created closed.
"S-So... How do we even prepare for something like that, Lord Shiishiigami, Lady Gaia, Lady Xenophia?" YeeNessa asked.
"We created families that we must protect from this terrible being that will soon come to our verse!!" I insisted.
"Yes, we know this already. We came with our partners to better express just how much we all share the same opinion here." Lady Gaia placed her hand on my shoulder.
"We all want to protect our families as well, young lady. It's exactly why we all have been looking into the distant future to locate when, and where the ol' particle toting bastahd will appear, yeah?" Lady Xenophia explained.
"So I'm guessing you all have very specific ways of training to reach where you are now?" I asked.
"Indeed we do. We all have grand methods of making ourselves stronger." Lord Shiishiigami answered.
"Hmm... Better to ask, what method did Shiitania and Clarissa use to reach strength great enough to force their ways through you?" I asked yet another question. But you can tell it was a hard hit home, for all of their faces changed quite drastically.
"Hmph, you're as brash and oblivious as ever, huh? Hmph, those two used the methods written within the books written by my father-in-law... Luci the Creator.* Lady Kiimillima explained.
"Tuh, that's not something we can acquire, that's for sure." YeeNessa rolled her eyes. The thought of being back to square one always pisses her off.
"Actually, your current master is the one who taught STRIFE the ways of Luci. So your best bet would be to go back home and request Xebeel 's cooperation with your goals." Lord Shiishiigami placed his hands on our heads. Smiling as he and the others began to fade into the void. Their presence being a beacon of hope as they too, must prepare for what's to come.
We raced back home to where Xebeel and the others were training. We could feel their essence being connected to ours during our entire chat with Tahny and the others. Xebeel ws already well within the range of knowlegede needed to bring solution to our current problem. By the time we arrived, he already had his eyes on us. Ready to give us the information we'd need for what comes next for everyone. But before he could even answer our whims, we made a request he couldn't refuse.
"We know you already know what we're here for. But, before you speak...
I held my hand out as a way to stop his actions. Wearing such a serious flare with a shitload of intensity to boot. My own children and husband hesitated to even look my way.
"We need to know more about this being. Seightahn told us that this being will be an even greater threat than the version of Seightahn we face back then. Even if Seightahn had released all of his forms, this being will still be greater!!" YeeNessa and I pressed for information, showing loads of stress and irritation with every word we uttered.
"Ah, so they wish to know about the being that will be coming to terrorize our Omniverse?" My father stated, rubbing his fingers through his beard.
"It would seem so, it's also something I would like to know. This is my first time hearing if this since meeting Lord Juanciarlo all those years ago." Heemy explained.
"Hmph, well I'm thoroughly versed in the knowledge based around this vein we'll soon come to face. Today's training will be ending early. My apologies, ZeeNotea, ZeeLahni, ReighHeem Jr, Timohsz, and Timiitia." Lord Xebeel stated.
"Heh, you're all good, Master Xebeel. Right guys?" Everyone of the young ones nodded their heads in agreement. I smiled and nodded my head as well while mouthing the words, "Thank you".
"Alright, now that that's been settled, allow me to tell you about our approaching enemy. They are a very powerful Stuliathan born within the last billion years. Fairly young compared to we STRIFE members but it means nothing when their experience and power exceeds most of ours by a bit of a margin. Something we came to understand the last time a young Stuliathan attacked our verse. That being the sealed Stuliathan we in this verse know as Rashomon. The being that brought the concept of Cancer to our attention. Rashomon was known as a Duke of concepts who can match Archdukes back then. This time, we have someone with that same amount of potential, but the strength, power, and stature of a true Archduke. The Archduke of Particles!" Xebeel explained.
"So this being is even more powerful than Rashomon with potential even greater than the legendary villain, the Archduke of EVIL, Taipanevil?" My father asked.
"Yes, they're control over particles and the many concepts that compliment it is highly extensive." Master Xebeel continued his explanation.
"This being will be undoubtedly the toughest threat we've ever faced and that's simply due to the having such a versatile concept. One that is also based around their vampire ways. This will make them quite difficult to deal with no matter how we go about it. So I will teach you the ways of Luci and make sure we all prevail here!" Xebeel claimed.
He raised his fist above his head and called forth some kind of book. It appeared within his hands within the next millisecond.
"Now, if we're to go about studying this, every remaining member of Annihilo-Sect that has yet to get a new duty for themselves. Those very members will need to be collected for this to commence. No use in only teaching you two, am I right, bruh?" Xebeel explained.
"Hmm, I can't disagree with what was just said if I'm being completely honest. What do you think, YeeNessa?" I asked my cousin.
"I think we should hurry our asses up and get our team together. We're not missing many members and it'd be easy to collect everyone!" YeeNessa insisted as she pulled me along.
"Hahaaa! You're right! Heemy, watch our bundles of joy and meet us back in Annihilo-Sect. This Colossaverse's group of extraordinary warriors will finally come back together after so long!!" I waved goodbye as we dashed off.
We chose to actually go around collecting everyone rather than just sending out a message to the group and bringing everyone to our doorstep. Plus this would give us a pristine opportunity to take a look at how far the clans have come after so long. But before we actually go about getting our crew back together. We called in our assistant Ambassador to assist us. We made this position due to the fact that our entire fucking Colossaverse was terrorized by a single being from beyond our void and Omniverse. That event, or better to say, Seightahn himself was the direct reasoning for us completely changing how the ambassador role works for our Colossaverse. We'll never again be subject to such torturous means if war and battle. Such is the vital job that Sinnthia now has.
"Sorry for five minute delay, Zee and Yee. My children never leave dull moment for me in lifetime." Sinnthia appeared behind us.
She waltzed over whilst wearing our suit attire we all agreed to. A classic red button up, with black slacks, red, ruby stilletos, a black tie, white leather gloves, and a very nice, long, white cloth fauld that hangs down to our ankles. We keep it simple, yet very professional in this line of work. Plus I want to look the part when I finally kick Seightahn's ass!
"Heh, tell me about it!" YeeNessa rolls her eyes while chuckling.
"Ugh, life as a mommy, eh? Peaceful times sure do leave children with a lot more freedom." We all smiled, showing loads of satisfaction within our souls.
"Hmph, so what be it we're up to that requires all three of us?" Sinnthia asked.
YeeNessa and I looked at one another, wearing serious looks on our faces. It made Sinnthia grow weary of what she was about to hear.
"Heh, so check this out, and I really need you to open your ears and mind when listening to my words." I insisted.
"Woah... y-yeah, alright. Go ahead and shoot, Zee."
"That call of essence that you sensed earlier, the one we immediately masked soon after to let everyone know it was fine. Yeaaaah, that was actually Seightahn himself." I explained.
I turned around to get a look at her reaction. And it was exactly as I thought it would be. The absolute perfect blend of fear and anger when hearing that truth. You could tell she was one of the many who never once stopped thinking about what Seightahn did all those millennia ago. She allowed her fear to turn into anger as well, pestering as she clenched her fists. But then she surprised us by letting out a long winded breath.
"Tch, yeah... Alrighty. I am guessing we are not going to collect team for him, considering the fact we would have been summoned. Even Ri-ohhanna and Ri-oh'dioh would have been forced back, am I right?" She asked.
"Well, technically we are collecting the team, just not for that. Seightahn was being peaceful whilst enjoying time with his son and siblings. Though he didn't come here just for pleasantries of that caliber." YeeNessa decided to chime in.
"Oh? Well good, can be held at bay by such simple delights. Tuh, but if that is not what came for, then why else did he show up?" Sinnthia asked.
"He came to give us a warning. Warnings about a Stuliathan that not even he could beat entirely. Even if he were to release his true self with the seventh release. He'd still have an extremely difficult time finding a path to victory. Making this new threat something well beyond belief." I explained to her.
"Whaaaat!? Are you the kidding ME!? A being dhat is stronger than Seightahn at his full might back then!?" Sinnthia was simply perplexed.
"Yes, Seightahn is even more powerful now and he still thinks it would be a tall order. Showing us the frightening magnitude of this future enemy creeping towards our doorstep." YeeNessa added on.
"Mhm, and now that's to that same threat, Xebeel believes we need new methods of technique and training. Thus why were collecting the team. They're all certain to be of great help against this behemoth of an opponent. The Archduke of Particles." I finished our little explanation with that right there. But as I said the name, and the sound from my words traveled to Sinnthia's ears. She stopped.
"Hm?? Hey, hold on Yee!"
"Huh, why do I need to- oh... She's been struck by your words it seems." YeeNessa floated back towards me. Joining me as we fly to Sinnthia to get a better understanding in why she would suddenly halt her flight like that.
"Hey, um... S-Sinnthia? Is everything okay here?? Something dumbass Zee here said?" Yee shoved me a bit while looking fun at the situation.
"Yeah, riiiiight. As if this is my fault, if anything... she probably knows something we don't."
"Indeed I do, Captain ZeeNanasa. I'm certain your mouth just let out the title, ArchdukeofParticles, correct?" Sinnthia asked.
"Y-yeaaah, I did. What of it?" I was now fully invested in whatever information my dear friend had.
"I have been studying Stuliathan knowledge ever since Lord ZeeNihilo told me story of STRIFE's fight against being known as Taipanevil. Hearing about such creature made me realize how weak I was. So I wanted to learn how to counter these beings. But I know I lack knowledge necessary to train properly. So I did what anyone would do, I reached out to two beings that know everything about our Omniverse history."
"Wait, you visited Hermits!?" YeeNessa and I were more than surprised by this information.
"Dah, it was for the betterment of myself. I could not let chance skip through fingers, and they eagerly welcomed me when making contact with them. I learned a lot thanks to them, including the name of a being they've warned countless Deities about. The one that will make particles stand still." Sinnthia lowered her tone and voice when saying that final sentence.
YeeNessa and I both gasoed when hearing that same title. It meant that Sinnthia knows even more than we do for once. She was accidentally more than prepared for what we had just been informed about.
"From your reactions, it is easy to see that you know what I am speaking of." Sinbthia looked at us with eyes full of hope, yet you could tell she was living heavily within the reality of the situation. An enemy that could end it all was on their way to us.
"Yeah, but we never found out exactly who is coming for us, just that they are the Archduke of Particles." I explained to her.
"Mhm... No need to worry about such things. What I learned showed me just how badly outmatched we were when I first learned of their existence. The one that will suck the very essence from our Omniverse...
The being they call, Atomen...
