You have no fear. Fear is universal, but you transcend the universe. This war is over as of today. Something is coming...
Can you say someone? Or are you no longer alive? Stop it. Stop it.

Someone is coming to end this.
That someone is you. Question is... Which side do you choose? Essence? Or Mortal? Neither? Both? You're at a loss. You think, still walking toward the fighting. You may have to stretch your own limits. You decide you'll figure it out and dig your feet into the soil, preparing to launch forward. Just before you push off you cause a kinetic blast, adding to your acceleration. You're sprinting at top speed, and you're moving at such high speeds, the dirt you kicked up seems suspended in time. It's calming in a way. The stopped motion. The stillness. But there's no time for that now, you have things to do. You activate your power state, Neon Blue, the standard. No need to try too hard yet. Within moments you can finally see the battle. The scale... It's..

It's massive.

You jet into the air and you feel your wings fold out behind you. You channel the Void and amplify your voice.
"HUMANS. ESSENCE BEINGS. ALL OF YOU, LISTEN TO ME." You state this with such authority, and such power the fighting grinds to a halt. Your voice echoes across acres of land. Hundreds of thousands of people are beneath you. You create two massive essence shields. Creating a dome covering the sides of humans and Essence wielders as best you can. Some are mixed, but it'll do.
"I AM SUPERNOVA, AND I AM HERE TO END THIS WAR. PICK WHICHEVER GOD YOU CHOOSE, FOR I AM HERE TO SEND YOU TO THEM. I AM THE ANGEL OF DEATH, AND YOU ARE THE DEMONSTRATION OF MY POWER. FORGIVE MY DEED, BUT THIS IS HOW IT IS." Your eye blazes blue, and so does your left hand, as you hold it there, keeping the shield over them all. You dissipate it, a faint green light eminating through the entire area. You have an idea.. Your face contorts into an expression of what looks like rage, just from the effort and force of your next move. Your eye morphs into a screaming orange, your hand too. This is a lot of work. Still, completely manageable. A truly colossal skull appears, a sphere of angry orange Essence warping inside as you charge it.
Its been 1 full second. That's plenty. The skull's jaw opens and you release it, firing, and the area is bathed in the same orange for as far as you can see. Its the loudest thing you've ever heard. It shakes the trees. But every ounce of energy is contained in the beam. Your eye is blazing, and your hand too as you have it outstretched, the beam ceases as you make a fist, the skull dissipating. That was the entire human side, nothing left. Every weapon, every soul. They were atomized. That just leaves the Essence beings. Your wings fall out of reality itself, and you blister towards the ground, leaving a trail of the orange that your eye and hand is ablaze with. A plume of dust explodes from the ground as you slam into the dirt and gravel beneath you. You feel your stats being checked as you rise, glaring at the crowd of fighters.

*Is it worth dying for? No.

You smirk, and notice a Neon blue flame. A tough customer. You don't wait around, this is a show of force. A way to demonstrate your overwhelming power.

You can feel his bones give and fracture beneath his flesh. He rolls across the ground, lifeless. The others engage their power state, after seeing your display. You counted 1023, when you were in the air.
Several begin to attack, and you effortlessly dodge them all, grabbing one by the neck and snapping it like a dry twig.

Screw a one man army. You're a one man apocalypse.

You summon your Essence sword, sharp enough to cut through titanium like butter, slicing individual cells into pieces. This ends now. You lower your HP stat and DEF stat to increase your ATK. The others felt the atmosphere change, and all is still. You're checked, and the stillness continues.

*The end is nigh.

You blitz into action, not one attack even comes close to hitting you. You're viscerally slicing them apart, blade hits flesh, muscle, bone, and cuts through it, dismembering, killing instantaneously. They fling any attack they have and you don't feel it at all. You're tearing through them. You crush their skulls with your bare hands, you're grabbing them by the arm and swinging them into the ground, then impaling them with a spear before they recover. You're ruthless. Your vision is clouded with the fine dust of slaughtered Essence beings. You catch one trying to fly away and launch a spear into his spine. Dusted. You slash across chests, Dusted. You dissipate the sword and fight hand to hand, after seeing the Neon Blue flame you saw earlier.  You set off a kinetic blast, clearing the area. Your face is splattered and covered with blood, your features like a wild animal, the blood only enhancing the look of a ruthless killer.

You flash forward before they can blink. You don't know their powers, so they gain the upper hand for a moment, as he causes an explosion between your hand and his throat, giving him time to get behind you. You blink out of reality just before he strikes. You reappear in front of him, gripping his wrist like a vice, and tear it off his arm. It doesn't kill him, because it's not an Essence, only purely physical attack. You grab his other arm and rip it from his body. The scream of agony resonates through the battlefield. His eyes are wide, tears already forming. You throw aside his limbs, slamming your foot into his chest. He falls to the ground, his eye flickering between his power state and normal. You plow your foot into his chest again, the impact obliterating his ribcage, and your foot sinks into the bloody chest cavity of what used to be a powerful Essence being. He turns to dust, leaving the red stain of what you did to him. The rest of the 200 or so beings all attack at the exact same time, their victory is impossible, not improbable, impossible. You teleport behind one, driving your sword through his temple, then teleporting to his other side and cranking the sword around, snapping his neck in the process. You lift the sword and it tears his head off as you do. You cannot be stopped. You cannot be slowed.
You shield yourself with an Essence barrier and summon an Essence blast paired with spears across a massive area. You alter your stats to ensure the demise of them all too.

You charge it for a full two seconds before firing. It only grows stronger. The beam utterly annhilates anything in its path. They don't even have time to turn to dust before they shred across reality. The beam ceases, and you dissipate the barrier, also balancing your stats to normal. One being remains, laying on the ground.

How the fuck is that thing alive?

You grab the being by its throat, lifting it to eye level.
"p-please..."
You drop it, after checking it.

You resist the urge to impale him where he lays. "Tell everyone what happened here." You turn and deactivate your power state. You walk for hours, not sure where you're going really. But the war isn't over. You killed everyone participating, sure, but thats only one battle. You need a plan, and you continue walking.
