Omega Wars Chronicles

Chapter 67: Calamity

   During the time in Keigra everyone had forcefully bowed their heads to Cloud, Chief Tenya, after a few struggles, managed to lift hers to gaze at him.
   "Cloud…?" Chief Tenya asked within herself.
   "Wait… That's not Cloud!" Chief Tenya said inwardly in shock as her irises glowed purple, "That is an entirely different person!" 
   "This power… This is no ordinary kan!" Chief Tenya said within herself as she sees the overflowing power of Cloud while he was staring down at Ranksa, "This power feels out of place. It feels… Divine… Like a god!
   But is it possible? A god with kan? There is no way a mortal can posses this kind of power."
   In that moment, Chief Tenya struggled to stand on her feet but found herself unable to do so.
   "With all my power, i can't even move my feet to stand, only my head can move but barely…" Chief Tenya said to herself, "He didn't use any power at all to make us bow, just the pressure of his voice was enough! He is like a higher version of Ezgord except he is on a level Ezgord could never reach even in a thousand years!"
   "So much power…." Chief Ezgord said inwardly, "What is going on? Who is that boy anyway?"
   "This presence… It's overwhelming!" Ranksa said internally while gazing up at Cloud in fear, "The urge to worship him is too strong! But… What is going on? The Wuzhin technique should have killed him instantly since i didn't willingly remove my finger, but yet he is still standing before me! What in Rora's name is he?!"
    "Wh-what are you…?" Ranksa asked.
      "I didn't give you permission to speak, lower lifeform." The white eyed Cloud replied with an indifferent expression and an echoing voice that made Ranksa tremble and bow his head completely.
   "Forgive me! Forgive me!!" Ranksa said.
   "Hmmm, you're the one my other half struggled against." The white eyes Cloud said.
   "Other… Half?" Reyla asked inwardly.
   "So small… So frail…"  Cloud's other half said, "Though it is embarrassing, i can see why he struggled against you."
    Cloud's other half turned his back on Ranksa and started observing the place which made him smile.
    "Ah. Is this Keigra?" The other half asked, "The last time i saw it, it was just a small village with a small number of people. How many centuries has passed since my first other half expired? Seems i missed a lot during my second slumber. You know…"
    "I should thank you." The other half said as he glanced back at Ranksa, "That technique you placed on my other half completely woke me up, and as a reward, i won't destroy you or any other person here… Yet."
    "You can all move now." The other half said as he turned his back to walk away, "Be grateful i am in the mood to explore this city."
    Everyone in Keigra found themselves able to move and many of the audience stared down in confusion as they watched Cloud's other half walk away.
   "What the heck is going on?" Reyla asked within.
   At the time the atmosphere was filled with uncertainty, Killer bee takes notice of Karma's filled with disbelief while her hands were trembling which she later balls into a hard clenched fist. During the interval, the hivelings that were in hiding, found themselves able to move and began to discuss with each other telepathically.
    "What was that power?" The green haired female hiveling asked.
     "I don't know but whatever it was, i am glad nothing happened to us."
     "Yet." Inos said, "He has shown to be above the strongest humans so far and possibly, he could be more powerful than our new ally."
    "He did say something about Ranksa being the cause of his wakening." The green haired female hiveling said.
   "Yes, he did, Camina." Inos replied, "As usual, Ranksa is an impulsive fool who always screws up everything he comes across. I knew it was a mistake assigning this task to him. We are lucky we decided to use our full shadow stealth ever since Zeinora decided to act on her own; if we didn't use it, we would have been seen because of this fool of a brother."
    "Can you stop being harsh on him?" Camina asked, "He is your brother for crying out loud. Yes he messed up big time, but we all tend to mess up too. We are almost close to the showdown, and -"
     "No…" A feminine voice said.
    Camina glanced back and sees the person to be the pale-purple haired hiveling female who was staring with widened eyes.
    "Xarafi?" Camina called.
    "What is he doing?" Xarafi asked.
    At the arena as Cloud's other half was walking away, Ranksa was staring down at the ground with both knees while tightening his clenched fists.
    "Three humiliations…" Ranksa said inwardly, "Three damn humiliations! First it was the human dodging all my attacks and making me look like a fool, second was him defeating me in this stupid tournament and now this…! 
    I won't accept it! I refuse to accept it!"
   Ranksa had a recollection of him and Inos discussing with each other in the midst of other hivelings.
   "Forget it." Inos said as he turned his back to walk away, "The last thing i want is to be paired up with someone like him."
   "Inos, we understand you don't like Ranksa but can you put aside your problems with him and focus on what has been assigned?" A long deep blue haired hiveling male with a deep blue Van-dyke beard and blue eyes asked, "So many of your peers have volunteered to join and you are one of the best in your clan."
   "I didn't say i won't participate, Basak. I'm just making it clear that i don't want to be paired with someone like him." Inos replied while still walking away, "Teaming with Ranksa is like placing a liability in the midst of assets."
    "Liability?! Hey, Inos, i am your brother!!!" Ranksa angrily said.
    "Half brother and a very stupid one." Inos said as he paused, "Up till now, i still wonder how a product like you came into this world. Well, accidents do happen, so maybe that explains your situation."
   In fury, Ranksa poured out a threatening aura and dashed towards Inos to punch him but Inos appeared at his back.
    "Keep those infected hands to yourself." Inos said, "The last thing i want is to be contaminated with your stupidity."
   "That's enough." A masculine voice said.
    The hivelings quickly turns and sees a warping gate appearing before them which turned out to be Balog. 
     Another flashback takes place at the time Onak was laying face-flat on the ground with a couple of hivelings staring down at him.
    "So it is settled then." A dark-green haired male hiveling said, "Ranksa, you will disguise yourself as this human and buy us enough time."
   "Are you sure about that?" Inos asked, "Are you sure you want to send an impulsive brick-brain to buy us time? There are other hivelings that can be sent to act as this human and get us all the time we need."
   "Give your younger brother some credit." Camina said, "Ranksa is good. He won't disappoint any of us."
   "Get ready to be amazed." Inos said with both arms crossed while looking away.
   After the recollection, current Ranksa clenched his fist harder.
    "To hell with you… To hell with you, Inos!!" Ranksa said internally, "You've never for once given me any credit but i'll show you..!"
    "I'll show you right now!!!" Ranksa said in his mind as he straightens his arms to the front and large grey rings appeared on them.
    Each of the rings began to rotate rapidly and a huge sphere of energy was formed in between the palms.
    "That moron! What is he doing?!" Camina asked inwardly with fright.
    "Scorpion ring: Nega devastation!" Ranksa said within himself with a grin.
    Ranksa fired off the attack at Cloud's other half (while he was still walking away), which moved at an amazing speed, creating a rift on the ground in the process. However, the attack stopped midway and exploded, leaving Ranksa and many others in shock.
     "Dung brain." Inos said inwardly.
    The other half paused and peeped at Ranksa.
   "Fool." The other half said with a darkened voice.
   Ranksa immediately exploded into millions of atoms which swiftly left the audience dumbfounded (including the ones watching from their tribes).
   "Whoops. I didn't mean to destroy his existence." The other half said with a dark smile, "Guess he was far weaker than i thought."
  "No way…" Killer bee said inwardly.
  "Destroyed an existence?" Karma asked inwardly.
   "W-what kind of monster is this?" Camina asked within herself.
   "Ranksa…" Xarafi said inwardly with widened eyes.
   Inos stood stiff with fear and disbelief while his hands were trembling.
   "Alright, who wants to go next?" Cloud's other half asked as he turns back with an evil smile.
   While the other half stood with both arms behind his back, the ground began to shake violently as the skies darkened and in that period of time, two humongous eyes of a beast appeared in the air. Many of the audience fear increased as some were clutching onto one another while some trembled alone.
   "Mother…!" A little girl said while clutching onto a woman.
   "Be strong, son. Nothing will happen." A man said while clutching onto a little boy.
   "My body won't stop shaking…" Karma said within herself as she stared at her palms trembling viciously.
   "This feeling… I have felt it before." Killer bee said to herself, "The feeling of everything watching me, but… It was never this intense!"
  "Dammit…! This is worse than the moment in the infirmary!" Sting said inside while clutching onto himself.
  "What is this power?" Ezgord asked inwardly.
  In the time the other half was chuckling, the other half sights a frightened Killer bee among the audience which brought a glitching image in his head, causing him to groan in pain while touching his forehead. The ground stopped trembling along with the darkened sky and the beast eyes vanishing as the other half fell on one knee at the time he was still groaning in pain with his hand placed on his forehead.
   The fluctuating image in the other half's head appeared to be the back of a long golden haired woman dressed in a white robe standing in a garden filled with lilies.
   "Do you remember?" The woman asked as her voice echoed.
   As the image had vanished, the other half grinned again.
   "So that's how it is?" The other half asked.
   The other half swiftly raised his head and roared which drew out light from his eyes and mouth and also drew out light from others eyes and mouth that ascended into the sky. Lights also drew out of the mouths and eyes of every human, hiveling, high goblin, moabian, lerekon, orc and many other races including race of Balog and Sethra and the great sages as well.
   "Yes! Yes! Let it be!!!!" Asnath shouted with excitement.
   Asnath bawled mightily as light drew out of his eyes and mouth.
   Lights were being shot out of different planets into the universe which quickly formed an omega sign. In earth as the other half was still roaring with the lights being drawn out, the lights ceased and the other half lost consciousness and fell flat on the ground, thus making the lights from others to cease; while others were trying to catch their breath, Asnath (who happened to be watching from an orb) grits his teeth.
    "No! No!! This wasn't supposed to happen!" Asnath said within himself, "He was supposed to destroy everyone!!!"
   "That moment…" Asnath said within himself as he recalled Roku placing his index finger on Cloud's forehead, "What did you do…?!!"
   "What did you do?!!!" Asnath said inwardly as he was releasing a disturbing aura, "You great sages are beginning to get on my nerves!!!"
   "ROKU!!!!!" Asnath screamed in fury with a deepened voice as his eyes glowed underneath the shadow of his hood.
  Meanwhile Inos and the others were still on the ground, coughing and struggling to catch their breath.
    "Do it!" A masculine voice telepathically said, "Do it now!!"
  Inos swiftly brought out a white stone from his pouch and crushed it, whereby spawning a white light and creating large explosions in Keigra and different tribes of Agaroth.
