(Remaster) The Ship of the Tempest

Bereavement of Bodhisattva

Assassination of Bodhisattva, Part 2
-----

Marco couldn't believe her eyes.

She was watching the battle in front of her with nothing but awe and suspense. She watched as God...no...the Angel of God, fought against Z73 in a battle she could barely keep up with, her eyes darting to and fro in attempt to see anything.

Z73 was weaving between pillars of death fired from Hierophant's cannons, before jumping from the waves to avoid being turned to ash by strange circles of power that acted like mines, one she nearly got hit by previously. It was a war zone fabricated by a single person, and even still, she continued on like it was nothing.

'It's...mesmerizing.' Marco could tell neither of them were really going all in yet, but with what she's seen this far...

She smiled, putting her hands together in prayer once again, but for a different reason entirely. 'Devil...I will await your judgement, and see how you fare against this mighty Angel.'

"You're making this pretty damn hard!" Z73 narrowly avoided yet another laser blast from Hierophant's Rigging, one that singed a little of her hair that was caught in it.

The Arbiter never responded back, standing atop her Rigging and watching as Z73 did her best to avoid a certain death. Her rigging was hovering high above the ground, not to mention that it had other means of defending itself too.

This was a fight Z73 had almost no chance of winning.

Then again, how many of these fights has she been in and come out on top? Hierophant knew of this, and she wasn't willing to take risks, keeping far away and firing with all her weapons to kill the woman outright, still with no success.

Back with Z73, she was getting real frustrated of her constant attempts to get to her failing to net anything. She had no guns, no torpedoes, and nothing around she could throw up to her, so she needed to figure out something else that could work.

Thankfully, it was a simple idea, as she reached into her cube and drew out her latest power for use. Her eyes slowly began to turn white, and as another laser shot down towards her, she smirked as she felt the apex of her strength come, and she slid to a stop in front of it.

"RUPTURE!!"

The world around her almost crawled to a halt, the only things even moving were the lasers, all moving barely faster than a snail. She took a single step, one that was met with heavy resistance from an invisible pressure, leaving behind a forming blast of air and heat, a sonic shockwave.

This is the secret to Rupture, where Fracture erased Space to leave vacant time where only she can consciously move and act, Rupture instead shatters time for herself, allowing her to move beyond such a principle and beyond speeds anyone should be able to keep up with. She's so fast in fact, that a simple movement causes immense heat to be formed, as seen with her footstep and the shockwave.

She looked to the other lasers currently flying, going over to a few before hopping onto them, finding genuine stable ground thanks to the ever so slight mass of the lasers. It wasn't much, but she didn't need much.

With her goal in mind, she began to run up the many lasers fired at her, every one of them easily acting as a foot stool to get her right up to Hierophant, who was still staring down at where she once was. She leapt from the lasers, Hierophant directly in front of her now and with no clue as to what's going to happen.

Z73 got close enough to the Siren, and put her all behind a single kick to end the Siren and stop this end of the world scenario as quick as it began. Though, when she met Hierophant's body, she was left completely unaffected, with not even a ripple of skin or a movement of hair to her hit.
