Tengen's red star steadily growing into a sun, held aloft by his third arm, shone brilliantly, illuminating the battlefield in an eerie crimson glow. Suddenly, a giant sun materialized above him and launched itself straight at Techxin with devastating force.
But Techxin merely chuckled.
Just as the massive celestial fireball was about to consume him, Techxin swung his axe, and in a single effortless motion, the sun split in half, its twin halves dissolving into flickering embers. Without slowing his pace, Techxin continued walking straight toward Tengen, completely unfazed, as if nothing had happened.
Tengen narrowed his eyes. He raised his hands high, and the red star held by his third arm shone brightly as it grew. It then flashed a bright red light. Ten massive stars appeared in the air, aligning themselves into the shape of a sword.
Two stars formed the grip.
Four stars became the guard, shaping a dimensional outline.
Four more stars made up the blade, their burning light shaping a sword unlike any other.
Then, the stars ignited into a blazing inferno, their flames wrapping around the celestial structure, as it fully forming a sword that could burn the cosmos.
With a another greater flash of red light from the growing star, Five more of these colossal fire swords appeared, floating at Tengen's sides like the arms of a divine executioner.
And then, the red star in Tengen's third hand flashed a blue white light, as the growing star slowly turned blue, as it's growth slowed and the fire of the celestial swords seemed to have their Luster dim slightly.
But Suddenly, all gravity in the arena disappeared.
Techxin's feet left the ground involuntarily, his body floating into the air. At the same moment, Tengen slammed his hand into the ground, sending an enormous wave of debris hurtling toward Techxin like a meteor storm.
Techxin remained calm.
With calculated precision, he swung his axe at the approaching rubble, cutting through it effortlessly. But each time he destroyed a rock, one of Tengen's fire swords would slash at him, forcing him to stay on the defensive.
Techxin's movements were perfect—almost supernatural—but the endless barrage of attacks was beginning to wear him down. A slight miscalculation allowed one of the fire swords to graze his side, a thin line of blood forming along his ribs.
Techxin's grin widened.
Finally, he had enough. He lunged forward, punching Tengen with all his might.
Tengen blocked the punch, his flaming sword clashing against Techxin's axe. But the moment he did, all the remaining fire swords struck at once, forcing Techxin to block. That single opening was all Tengen needed—
With both hands, Tengen clasped his fingers together, and a storm of tiny stars spiraled around his hands.
In an instant the now slow growing blue star flashed a blue light.
As the gravity of Tengen's attack, seemed to be strengthened by an impossibly, heavy and dense, force which perfectly surrounded his hands.
He slammed his attack into Techxin's chest. The sound of crunching and breaking could be heard as an explosion of pure energy, from the stars swiftly followed behind.
Techxin was sent crashing into the ground, the impact tearing the battlefield apart. The arena was left in ruins, thick smoke and debris clouding the air.
The King's voice rang through the chaos.
"Four minutes are up!"
Tengen laughed as his voice warped and wobble. Whether it was due to the gravity or due to his new monstrous forms voice box, Maxi could not tell
"Come on Techxin your a BloodHeart aren't ya? GIVE ME ALL YOU'VE GOT, or does all your strength come from your mama, and not YOUR NAME. DOES IT NOT RUN THROUGH THE FAMILYS VAINS, DOES IT NOT COME FROM THE FAMILY NAME, IS IT NOT BORN FROM A NAME. IS IT NOT BORN FROM,
THE NAME
"BLOODHEART."
Then there was a moment of silence that fell.
Which was interrupted
—a voice.
A single, haunting chant, softly spoken by one of Maxi's siblings, a young girl.
"Blood for the Blood God, Blood for the Blood God, Blood for the Blood God, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD."
Other siblings joined in repeating in a chear or chant
Maxi saw Techxin mother say the phrase, even some of his stepmothers
The chants grew louder and more synchronized, to the point Maxi caught himself trying to say the phrase.
then
A voice screamed in a beast like roar
So high pitched so loud it sounded painful
But those features only served to make the words it screamed more
Terrifying
More
Blood chilling
The phrase that that monstrous voice screamed was
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!"
It was Techxin's voice
It erupted from the rubble, echoing through the battlefield.
Techxin rose from the debris, his entire aura transformed. His eyes burned crimson, and his presence alone made the air feel thick as iron.
"BLESSING ENLIGHTEN."
A dreadful pressure filled the arena, something ancient and horrific awakening. Everyone in the audience, his siblings, his stepmothers, and his father, the king, instinctively covered their ears, their bodies reacting to a fear they long known.
Maxi looked around in confusion, unsure of why everyone was afraid. But then—he heard them.
The whispers.
A low, inhuman voice repeated the words "Blood for the Blood God" over and over again, a sound that threatened to drive him insane.
Maxi's maid, Angelina, saw his face twisting in terror and quickly shoved earplugs into his hands. Maxi barely had time to shove them in his ears, and even then, he covered his ears on top of them, trying to block out the whispers before they could reach him again.
Tengen, however, had no such luxury.
He could hear them.
Even for someone of his strength, the whispers were corrupting, clawing at his mind. His vision blurred for just a second—
And that second was all Techxin needed.
The battlefield changed.
All around, 6 blood pickaxes formed themselfs from the blood of Techxin. They then flyed up and shot themselves into 6 different directions, as they, like anvils Fell down to the ground
Techxin in tandem with the pick axes raised his leg to its peak and brought it down at the same time as the pickaxes
Gaint, craters were then created on the already broken, battle grounds.
The whole battle grounds began to shake.
Maxi found himself having to stop blocking his ears, and hold onto his chairs arm rests instead.
Then Enormous blood geysers erupted from the crater's of the blood pickaxes, the crimson liquid shooting into the air, creating a rain of blood that ignored the zero gravity. The entire arena floor became a pool of thin red liquid, spreading across the battlefield.
The scene looked as if Techxin's pickaxes had actually mananaged to make the earth itself bleed
Techxin stepped forward.
He emerged from one of the blood geysers he created, his fingers clutching the top half of a mask—a boar's head, its tusks curved and jagged, completely made of blood.
Techxin stared at the mask for a moment.
Then, with a slow, deliberate movement, he placed it over his face.
And at that moment—all the lights in the arena went out.
Darkness.
Only a few things remained visible in the void.
1. The blue star that was now just a few more minutes away from turning into a full sun.
2. The five massive fire swords, their flames flickering in the suffocating darkness.
3. Techxin's eyes—two glowing crimson orbs - more monstrous than human.
The blood continued to fall, sizzling as it touched the fire swords, steam rising where the two forces met.
Tengen clenched his jaw and commanded his fire swords to strike.
Seeing his gravity powers weren't working as intended, Tengen decided to switch between fire and gravity mid combat, to maximize thier usage.
So, the slow growing blue star, then flashed a white ish red light, which made the star turn red, as it started to grow faster. The cosmic Fire swords fire gained there celestial laster again, as thier fire roared with it's former strength.
But before they could land an attack, a blood pickaxe was shot out of the blood geyser and hit the ground infrount of Techxin
As one of Tengen's, now stronger fire swords flew to hit Techxin
The ground started to bleed as a blood geyser exploded beneath the swords, extinguishing its flames instantly.
Another sword attacked
but a massive blood axe blocked its strike.
A third sword came for Techxin's feet, but he merely raised his foot, stepping on the blade, stopping it dead in its tracks. Two gigantic blood hands rose from the ground, grabbing the sword and holding it still.
Techxin stepped forward, off the celestial fire sword and onto the rising blood geysers as if they were solid platforms.
The zero gravity no longer affected him. As he took each step it made it seem like, he was an elegant Butcher going to slaughter the rowdy lamb.
Tengen growled, with a manic grin.
"Thats it, thats what I have been waiting for, show me why you have that name, show me why it's so renowned. Show me the true power
OF
"Techxin Bloodheart"
With a mighty roar, he grabbed the last two remaining fire swords and charged Techxin head-on. His blades swung in deadly arcs, ready to end this.
His growing red star flashed a white blue light as it turned blue and increase the force of his attack and momentum making him going at a nearly unpreceivable speed.
Techxin didn't move, nore react with any emotion.
With a single, effortless swing of his blood axe, he slashed in Tengen's general direction.
And in an instant, over a thousand slashes appeared across Tengen's body.
Blood poured from his wounds, his body trembling from the sheer force of the attack. But Tengen didn't fall. He forced himself forward as the momentum did not stop,
His slow growing blue star flashed a white ish red light as it turned red increase the power of the celestial swords.
As he swung his swords for one last might slash.
It was a great and powerfuly Slash so great that it made everything in its path ether be reduced to dust or to be burn into ash.
But despite the greatness of the slash it was fruitless as it inevitably did not land, or meet it's target.
Techxin was expressionless, as he raised his axe to Tengen's head.
A single slash.
A slash so great that it made Tengen's pail in comparison as it was cut through like butter
And unlike Tengen's slash, it met it's mark.
The next moment, Tengen's head flew from his body.
No blood spilled.
Silence.
Techxin red eyes never left where Tengen's head....
Once, was
As his red eyes pierced through the darkness.
Techxin said "I told you, I'd might have to kill you"
"FIVE MINUTES UP!" the King announced.
The crowd stood in stunned silence, the battlefield was quiet and still.
The king and Techxin look at the head of Tengen with a hint of suspicion.
And as Tengen's head flew down and locked eyes with Techxin.
A manic grin was plastered all over the face of the head, it was a grin that suggested it was already the Victor.
Techxin turn his head to the side to see Tengen's monstrous body throwing a left hook.
Techxin easily weaved out of the way.
In what seemed like a desperate last ditch attack, Tengen's arm was swung at Techxin.
Techxin easily weaved that attack as well.
But as the last second Tengen's arm suddenly straightened, with some strength.
red stars appeared in Tengen's right arm.
But instead of being thrown.
This stars were pushed into the red growing star which, by now had stopped growing.
The once insignificant small star, had now grown completely into a giant glorious.
Sun.
Techxin didn't even bat an eye.
He mearly raised his blood axe again.
And slashed.
But as he did over 10, giant suns were created in the way, as they blocked his slash.
Each sun made a giant firely explosion after being cut in half. The arena was now covered in both blood and fire.
At this point the arm holding onto the now, fully grown red sun, was on its last legs. But as a it's finally action, it slowly lowered the sun to were Techxin head, once was.
The sun then roared to life as if finally alive. The third arm then wistfully fell off Tengen's monstrous body.
It was clear now to everybody that this fight wasn't going to last long.
Despite the grand display, that red sun wasn't going to last for much longer. It seemed so clear to everybody but Maxi.
The red sun was dishing out way more power then it had stored up, while it was growing, so it almost seemed altimatly obvious that this was meant to be Tengen's last ditch attack. This would be the deciding Factor. This was going to show whether Techxin was going down with him or standing tall above him.
Techxin red eyes shined with a smirk that refused to appear on his face.
He then made a "Come on" jester with his hands, asking the red sun to give it all it had.
The red sun flash a bright red light in response.
As thousands of suns appeared, they all came and rushed forward, towards Techxin.
Right before they all did, each of the blood geysers manifested giant blood hands. They all rised up to the air to block the attacks.
And as all the suns flew towards Techxin, they were immediately extinguish by the Blood hands.
But the red sun seeing this wasn't working, decided it was time for its final act, as it's flames had withered down considerably.
The red sun roared with flames as it flashed a blue white light as
Nothing happened
Nothing changed
Techxin looked around to see what the red sun had done, but it seemed as if it had done nothing at all
Techxin took time to look around as the suns were getting extinguished
Seeing that there was truly nothing
Knew something
Techxin being the great fighter that he was, he knew that nothing happing after what seemed like a attack only ment 3 things
1 The attack was a faint.
2 the attack was delayed.
3 the attack already landed
Techxin choice the ladder as he decided to look at himself
Which he then saw the red target, which Tengen had put on him, near the beginning of the battle
The red star was shining a white blue light, similar to how the red sun did, when it started affecting gravity.
The target star turn blue.
Tengen's saw dust start to get forcibly sucked towards him, as larger and larger bets and peace's of, the breaker areas debris start to fly towards Techxin.
The baits of debris crashed straight through, the blood hands and went to Techxin.
Techxin raised his axe, as the peaces of debris were slash down into dust.
But the red sun didn't care, that the peaces of debris didn't do damage, it only cared that Techxin was distracted.
And seeing that he was indeed distracted, due to the shear number of broken debris pieces full towards.
The red star shined bright with glee and power.
As not only did thousands of red suns appear but, billions of small stars appeared as well, so many infact that they filled up the whole arena.
All the stars ans suns then started to get sucked towards Techxin.
Even though the maturity were extinguished by the blood hands, some stars and sun's managed to get through.
Some went through the whole's, the gaint debris made, when they crashed into the blood hands.
Some ovaded the blood hands.
And most through luck slipping through, unnoticed by the Blood hands.
But no matter which way they got to Techxin the result was the same.
Techxin ether slashed it into two halfs and defleacted toward the other stars or suns, or it even rarely got defleacted into the incoming debris. But Techxin would turn the debris into dust before he had the chance.
The red-star then flashed it's final living light as it summoned a spectator of the battle.
It summoned a great celestial being the had been waiting, that had been forgotten at the side lines far too long.
The red sun summoned the red universe.
The red universe flashed with a bright light, as it heeded the red suns call.
The red universe then orbited around the red sun using it as it's axis and center.
The red sun then lunched itself at Techxin
as the first star of the red hit the blood hand.
Like a chain reaction, in a rippling wave, each one of the red star shined a brilliant light
Each one of the star's a shined a blue white light a red white light a purple white light and finally, a radiant, pure white light.
As they all now shined with the true, uniqueness, brilliance and cosmic beauty of a true radiant universe.
The star touching the blood hands then started to thermally disintegrate the blood, as the universe went through the blood hand.
Another blood hand tryed to stop the universe but the same thing happened, it disintegrated
So realizing this, Techxin made blood move out of the way. As he got ready to take the full brunt of the attack.
As soon as the universe got in rang Techxin kicked it. Stopping it dead in itqs tracks, his boots layed on stars unharmed.
His body started steaming from the heat of the universe.
Techxin was unbothered as he simple raised his axe.
He at an inconceivable speed, slashed in half and deflected, all the stars into the debris and sun's, that managed to pass through the blood hands.
At the speed Techxin was doing this, it seemed almost like a land mower was casualy cutting down grass on a Monday morning.
But right before Techxin could get halfway through the universe
All the stars shined a blinding light, especially the red sun.
As they all started to explode.
In a great Symphony of supernova's.
Each one exploding in a grand wave.
It was a beautiful sight. It was the first time in Maxi's life that he saw a universe of supernova's.
Techxin, seeing that this would be trouble to deal woth all at once, decided to take the full brunt of the universe.
Then all 6 blood hands then slammed at the ground beneath Techxin, as a giant blood geyser exploded towards Techxin.
It formed a giant boar head with jagged teeth and crazed wild and untamed eyes, that glowed the same eerie light as Techxin's.
That giant boar's teeth clapped down incercaling him and the universe in it's blood jagged tusked cage. blight light still shout out of the boar's moth eyes and tusks as it's blood could be visible seen disintegrating, As it's head shoke violently.
The 6 blood hands surrounding the giant blood geyser then let themselves be blood geysers again, raining down blood on the battlefield arena.
As the blood rain was falling down, it then turned into miscellaneous weapons which destroyed all the debris that were being sucked in by the blue star.
Seconds passed by like eternities. The moment of truth was sealed behind the jacket Jaws of the boar.
And after a few breaths, all the blood geysers stopped shooting blood, as the blood boar fell down to the battle, area as becoming mearly blood rain.
Revealing the steaming and smoking silhouette of Techxin, as his red eyes stared indifferently at the body of Tengen.
The King realizing this was the true end, raised his hand, his voice echoing through the arena.
"THE WINNER IS TECHXIN BLOODHEART!!!"
