PHASE 58 - SWORD OF THE COSMIC GODS

PHASE 58 - SWORD OF THE COSMIC GODS

According to the Lovecraftian Mythology, Cthulhu and Hastur are half-brothers, but they consider each other as arch-nemesis. They are so like Rikkun and Diadem. They are brothers-in-law (After Rikkun and I get married... I’m so excited!) and consider each other as arch-nemesis. Diadem is responsible for killing three of Rikkun’s friends so Rikkun has a valid reason.

I don’t know about Diadem’s side though.

Rikkun is able to control his powers as Cthulhu without his heart being cursed. That’s generally a good thing, but the other threat remains. Diadem is going all out, and he’s determined to kill my lover.

“I have chopped your head for about a million timelines. It would be satisfying if I can do it again, Alaric Eisenhower!” Diadem/Hastur proudly said as he jumped forward.

“You have to correct yourself! You have killed me in my weakest normal human self. Everything is different now that I’m a deity like you!” Rikkun/Cthulhu charged towards the ramming enemy!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Their tentacles whipped on each other. Every time their whips made a strong impact, a wind shockwave emerges. One tentacle falls off every time they exchange blows! They didn’t care that much because those extra limbs would regenerate in mere seconds anyway.

Hastur jumped back and prepared a spell using his braided tendrils! “<Pyro Twirl>!!!” Flame tornado drill rushed to his opponent!

“<Cryogonal Shuriken>!!!” Gigantic hexagon disk made of ice was created by Cthulhu, and instead of throwing it, he used it as a shield against the enemy tornado! The ice shuriken shattered like glass!

Hastur materialized a flame sword from his right and made a stabbing strike to the air, pointing to Cthulhu! “<Void Art: Limbo Spiral>!!!”

Cthulhu twirled his tentacle on his right dragon claw and copied the spell his arch-nemesis cast! “<Void Art: Limbo Spiral>!!!”

Their crimson wind drills clashed to each other, and the result is a typhoon on the highest category. The chaotic clashes of wind destroyed the peaceful flowers in the vicinity.

The attacks didn’t end. Hastur’s red eyes glowed and blasted crimson lasers directed to his enemy!

“<Crimson Blast>!!!”

In response, Cthulhu charged prana on the gigantic eye on his chest and it launched a miniature dark sun!

“<Crimson Hellflare>!!!”

There was another set of the explosion, this time from the exploding miniature star. The laser from Hastur’s eyes lost its energy and faded as soon as the gigantic orb was nullified.

“What’s wrong, Alaric Eisenhower?” Hastur mocked. “You’re reserving prana on your attacks. Now you hit like a wet noodle. Are you worried that you might get cursed by using The Outsider’s powers again!?”

“Tsk!” Rikkun clicked his tongue in disappointment. “If only I’m using the God Core of Freyr, this wouldn’t be a hard fight.”

That might be true. For now, Rikkun should hold back. Prolonged release of a tremendous amount of prana while using his Fake God Core might trigger his inner evil thought. It’s just a matter of time before his eyes convert into crimson red, just like Diadem.

“If you’re not going to use <God Core Release>... Then I’ll force you to.” Hastur said as he charged once again. “<Fire Clones>!!!
