Cursed by Randomness

Ch.82 [ Treeee ]

As in between William's fingers, a weapon was being manifested through usage of Chaos. Concepts of Death and Life burst from his body and mixed in his palms with great haste, as it slowly formed into a weapon.

Loki wasn't idle either as he silently prepared some spells weaved with divinity. They were hidden behind mirrors of faked spells as he quite curiously observed what the man did in front of him.

Finally, the weapon was finished.

"How long was it since I wielded you..." Muttering William swirled the perfect copy of 'Fall'. His good old Scythe, once again back in his hand.

Since Chaos as is said, has powers to manipulate the very fabric of reality. Why not manipulate it to bring an item of past once again, and if needed to fill the lacking bits of plausability. Just use Concepts as very source of energy to assist the Chaos.

While this item didn't exist in this 'Timeline'. William as it's very creator, had enough claims over it to recreate it.

"Finished?" Loki asked and launched from one of the spell circles an enormous fireball. It wasn't normal, not only assisted by his Divinity... But also by the very Nine Realms behind his Cosmology.

Receiving only a grin from William, he jumped towards the very flame and slashes it in half as the spell was completely broken with great precision.

'Spell annulment?' Loki thought and prepared even more spells but noticed something. The Scythe didn't annul the magic. It Destroyed the very magic used in the spell, but the Divinity used in it was left safe. 'Mana Destruction.'

"OH BABY!" William shouted with a clearly euphoric smile as he was jumping off the air towards Loki while constantly evading and slashing the spells one after another. As he continued his attacks, his scythe met another fireball but as it met the very flames. The fireball exploded with massive burst of pure divinity.

Regaining his footing mid-air quickly with small condensed steps of mana, William looked at Loki "Geez, you really are smart."

Loki only released a snort as more attacks started descending in William's direction. In retort he reached into his shadow and pulled out a beautiful long katana. It gave off an instant dangerous presence in itself to Loki as it released with beautiful silver and pale blue sheen. Yamato. 

'It should be usable now.'  Thinking so. He felt foreign type of energy inside the very blade instantly resonate with the bloodline he got from sys. As he held the blade there was a small amount of conflict as its energy tried to enter William and it proved... strange. 

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Pulling out weapon after weapon, what? Can't use that strange trick anymore?" Loki mocked William who now made some simple moves with the katana. As such, Loki used the moment of distraction and shot another spell which was overloaded with Divinity. A compressed fireball in size of person was in matter of a breath already between the two as William tightened his grip on the Yamato and made quick two slashes. One vertical and one horizontal as the spell was cut in four and he used the Honkai to surround himself with a thin veil of shielding.

"Well. This is now better, now that it doesn't spark a fight with me." He smiled and gently moved the blade as a ripple of invisible air made itself and instantly started plummeting towards Loki. Loki in last moment disappeared from the spot as William quickly looked around but didn't find him.

"Really? Invisibility?" William said annoyed. Imbuing his own Divinity into his shadow he spread it out in irregular sharp slashes all around.

As soon he felt a tingle on his back and with instant instinct he moved his grasp from middle of Fall's handle to bottom of it and swung to his back as an ice spear was dispersed. 'It seems like he needs a moment to gather attacks with Divinity instead of Mana.'

Letting the Yamato go, he made sure to catch it with his shadow so it won't be taken. As William stood tall and slowly imbued his scythe with pure darkness and started swirling it above his head.

Divinity and Honkai followed the concept of Darkness as slowly a storm of explosive energy appeared around. As an approaching blazing blue flame was hit by some of the wind created by the wind created from how William was swinging the Fall.

As the barrage of attacks continued, a bit of blood could be seen in a spot as it had successfully slashed Loki somewhere. But he was nowhere to be seen. 'Damn rat.'

William stopped swinging as he got back into the stance as the area was nicely surrounded with his honkai and divinity. But only near him.

"Fucking trickster." Saying so loudly. A sudden spike of divinity appeared above him as he witnessed it.

It wasn't a mere fire from before. As Loki stood there in air, the flames became black as night and white as day. Spinning with such fervor that it actually made William's spine get slightly cold. 

'That... is not divinity.'

Feeling the foreboding danger from it. There was no emotion in Loki's eyes who started... dispersing?

A clone. That is what William was fighting, a clone which was using Yggdrasil's vulnerable roots as an anchor.

"I hate Gods!" He shouted in rage as everything from inside him had burst in similar yet weaker fervor. He rose his hand towards the spell of Loki as it started falling in his direction, while William closed his eyes.

A moment passed.

Two moments.

The sphere was falling as it neared William's place while the Fangs of Chaos appeared all around, readying themselves to erase the ball.

"Destroy-?!" Before the Chaos attacked, a mass of pure blackness. Thick like tar emerged from his hand and instantly coated the sphere as it started exploding, only increasing the tar-like liquids size as it was consuming the energy hidden deep within it.

"What the?" He muttered as suddenly a strange surge of energy hit William. It was uncontrollable and ravaged as he fell onto his knees and the pure white space beneath his legs was slowly painted red with his blood.

Coughing out more and more blood, he didn't notice how his Divinity came out by itself. Once pure as white light, it started darkening strangely. Not noticing a strange system message.

After few minutes. It had finally stopped as he was tired, he felt himself wasted as if he was drinking for days, or fighting for days. But looking inside himself, there was nothing wrong. "Wait! Why am I replenished?" Noticing after a moment. His mana, aura, honkai, and other energies were full.

After a moment he picked himself up, grabbing onto his scythe which was now rightfully back in his hands.

The space broke down as it transported him back to Root's.

His legs wobbled as he walked towards the Root's using the scythe itself as a walking scythe, as he noticed what changed. "What is- This?" He spoke as something black, tar. Similar to what left his palm before, consumed half of Nidhogg and the whole parasite inside. Gone.

The tar fell off as it was now around him and it jumped to William. Not even having a moment to react, he noticed that it didn't give off a feeling of danger.

Stop, it's yours.

Looking towards the sys, he observed only as the substance came back to his body. 'What the hell is this? I don't remember any of my Assimilations having... THIS.'

Not every power you own comes from Assimilations, right?

'I know.' Grumbling rest of the substance came back to him as he stared at it. "D' fuck is this?" He said and reinforced his legs with mana. Jumping and grabbing onto the roots he observed the destruction 'he' weaved on Nidhogg, Yggdrasil and that parasite thingy.

Making it back home. William felt exceedingly tired, since his last rest he once again had to fight a God and was he angry? Kinda. Tired? Surely.

But there was another boon to all this fuckery happening, he would finish the job...
