Forging the Verios WarHammer: Part 1

First topic message reminder :

From Vescrutia, came Erik. He came here with one mission in mind, this mission was to hunt down and gather materials to forge a WarHammer fit to use in the Veritas. His journey would start in the Great Alps, inside the Cave of Awe. Firs thing was first however, and that was  ascan of the area. Using both his Gaian WarHammer and the RHS, Erik would first use the Hammer to send a pulse into the ground, when this did it was like sonar, anything natural and of use would ping back to him, anything useless like dirt, sand, gravel, stone would not. The second thing he did with the RHS was call forth a small probe, a small ball of shimmering gold light, this would be launched into the cavern to maps the thing out, it would travel with great speed and would only stop once it came to a dead end, and from there would shoot back and scan again, all until the cave was mapped best it could be. While this went on, Erik looked about the area. Admiring a land untouched by sentient hands.

As the water swept over Erik he would hold his breath for a few seconds, normally his RHS produced a protective environmental barrier around him, but since he was caught off guard and was pressing against his shield to slow part the water he was unable to react in time. But matter it not, for soon he found himself breathing in the liquid. Using his Gaian Hammer, Erik would use the Gaia's power within it to manipulate the waters around him allowing him to be pushed through it as if flying through the water. There he pressed on towards the Light. Any resistance met was equalled the best he could with more energy being drawn from the hammer to help him "fly".

Erik's use of his warhammer for propulsion got him going pretty well through the thick crystal wave, yet, even so, the flow became thicker and heavier the closer he tried to get to the shining light. It almost felt like it was pushing him backward with the force of a great waterfall, colors of various spectra rolling over him with the most vivid of light. The great force of it all would start to weigh heavy on the man, as though gravity were compacting his body. Unless he had a way to keep himself from being crushed by the gradually increasing pressure of the thickening crystal blood, such would soon be his fate.

Thanks to his Genetic Augmentation, Erik's muscles were tuned to get denser and stronger with whatever he was trying to lift/push/pull/force against. So as the Crystal waters began to overtake the power his Hammer had, Erik would be forced to start swimming manually. With that, he dispelled the hammers control and used his muscular augmented body to forcefully swim through the crystal waters. If that failed, he could just go omnifarous and shift right through the whole mess, but that was risky, as he didn't want to risk triggering any defences the crystal waters might have.

Erik would find that the strength of his augmented muscles sufficed, as long as he was consistently keeping up with the pressure and augmenting to match. However, the deeper he went, the more of a strain he'd find it would have on its body, for the liquid did not seem to show any signs of letting up or getting less intense.

In it, he would be able to faintly hear a ringing... Almost like the singing of a bird, or perhaps a chorus of them... And, also... a voice? Something or someone singing along with the chorus of the birds in perfect harmony. The light grew brighter and more resilient, as did the spectrum of color flowing around Erik's body. It would seem as though reality were painting itself around him; sky into ocean into star into space, and back again and into something else... but fluidly and seamlessly. Never would he feel as though he weren't in water, despite through how many scenes he passed by.

Erik swam, and swam very hard, even he was curious now, and thus would do his best to get to where he had to be, even if it meant expelling a great amount of energy to do so in the process. As he swam, he decided it was best to simply dispel the Gaia WarHammer and focus on swimming, for whatever lie ahead, had to be something decent.

The sweet sound of serene singing soon sensually surrounded the swimming solder the same as the spectra of light had done prior. Try as he might, he could not seem to reach the end of this river of reality, despite the light that got brighter as he swam closer.

Eventually, he would be able to hear, as though speaking in complete harmony with the rhythmic tune of the chirping birds... an angelic voice as resonant as light through crystal. Conducted by the crystalline blood, he would hear and feel this wavelength all around him, asking him but a simple question...

"I require a pure crystal, one that can harness the power of the Veritas' Gaia" Erik would say swimming just enough to make sure he stayed in place and wasnt thrown back or anything.

"You seek the Genesis Force?" its voice rang in question. The world around Erik was no longer the same, for it didn't even seem that he was in the Cavern of Awe any longer. He was in ambiguous reality, constantly being spawned from this shining light all the colors of the rainbow and more. "This is forbidden from the likes of mortals. If you seek the power of Creation, you must prove yourself worthy."

The world around him spun into a vicious whirlpool, sucking him closer to the light with the same force and pressure as when it was repulsing him previously. He would not be brought too close to it, however, where he would be able to touch or even lay eyes upon this magnanimous light, but certainly, he was brought to a more stable reality than that which poured from this light prior.

"Why do you seek this power?" it asked, a crystal floor appearing under his feet and the liquid lowering to but an inch above the surface, undulating slightly and beautifully.

As the liquid lowered itself, Erik coughed up what was within him, it took him a few seconds to finish this and a few more before he could talk. With that over he would call forth the Gaia WarHammer.

"I seek to create a hammer like this one. This hammer is the Gaia WarHammer, a hammer fused with what remains of the Gaia of planet Earth. Earth was destroyed by mankind and their war and greed. My reasoning for wanting another hammer like the first it to prevent the same thing happening to this world, as well as Vescrutia and Kwandrivia alike." Erik would say holding the hammer out to show a crystal of pure Gaian Energy embedded in the but of the hammer's head.

"Worlds do not deserve the death sentient life leaves them with" Erik would say.

The wavelengths of Erik's voice sounded sincere and without discordant intent, for the Creatrix Genome was able of understanding vibration on a level that mere mortals were not capable of presently comprehending. Since his voice rang in harmony enharmonic with the light of the crystal, it would acknowledge his plea.

"Acceptable. First, Present the Warhammer to the Light. From there, we will observe the truth of these words."

Erik would spin the Gaia WarHammer horizontally before holding it out for it to grab hold of. At first, the Gaia within the Hammer would reject it, but slowly, it would open up revealing the history of humanity up until the destruction of their world via tactical nuclear strikes deep within the mantel of the planet. Some sort of "if we can't have it, no one can" idea or something. Memories of everything flooded in, humanity draining the planet of anything valuable, nukes being set off within mountains, radiation damage, climate change, climate controlling. After the destruction of Earth, things were vague, just visions of Erik liberating a world from it's harmers, and some more things about him using the hammer to Terraform a moon from rocky and barren to living and lush.

Resonating with the memories locked within the Warhammer, the Creatrix took it into itself, reciprocating and connecting to the Planet Earth as though it were simply another part of the Creatrix. At that point, the Hammer would be relinquished from Erik's grasp temporarily and trapped in stasis, locked from his use until the inspection was complete.

"We will infuse a minor sum of the Power of Creation into this Warhammer, as well as what it is connected to. However, you must prove yourself worthy of harnessing this power."

Erik would be restricted from using his Warhammer for a short time, as though to show the Creatrix Genome what his powers were without it. At that moment, an entire flock of sparkling lights flashed about, like a wave of gleaming stars, which would eventually start to create and assimilate with 'Planet Earth'. From the water under Erik, trees would sprout high into the sky, as would numerous modernized buildings.

"This World Will Collapse after an Allotted Time. Show Us how you would Save this World, and it Will be Saved. Survive."

It was almost like a second chance for the wiped out Planet Earth... And it would be all up to Erik to do so.


Suddenly, the numerous buildings and trees produced spontaneously would begin to crumble around him, nuclear bombs and fighter jets swept through the sky, as well as military troops equipped head to toe in weaponry. It seemed that there were many technological advancements in their machinery and weaponry, for there were large mechanical body-suits that some of the soldiers donned and more advanced looking tanks and such. Wherever he was... It seemed like all hell broke loose and war ran rampant.

Without the Gaian WarHammer to aid him, Erik would have to solely rely on his own strength and that of the Real Hologram System and his Kydarin Crystal. It was time to unleash a portion of the crystal's true power. As Erik watched the people fight, destroying things, creating a nuclear holocaust, he would only smile, he was about to show someone the potential of it. Holding his right hand up he would call forth the actual Kydarin Crystal, his was purple, as opposed to the General's pink one. After calling it forth it would float before him before shooting down towards the ground. With this, Erik would begin the Terraformation of this world, the first step, eliminating what would cause it's destruction.

"Never again will you tarnish and harm this world" Erik would say calmly closing his eyes.

It was time to rewrite history per say...

As soon ad the little crystal struck the ground, a pulse of energy would blast outwards from it at near light speeds. It would start as a point then grow, move outwards at every angle until it covered the entire planet, buildings, trees, people. There it would rise, rise and rise, until it reached the upper atmosphere. The entire planet, only to Erik's eyes was now covered in a data-like grid of lines.



Not a second after the grid flowed over-top everything, things would begin to pixelate.



After the pixelization occurred, what things were pixelate would begin to break into those pixels and rise upwards before disappearing, it was as if they were being deleted.



Buildings, Subways, Power plants, Cars, Bombs, Guns, Dams, Hydro lines, Roads, Towers, Planes, Bullets, anything made by mankind, anything that was created after humans became sentient, all of it, was being deleted, written over, eliminated. Where the cities used to be would be rock, dirt, minerals, whatever Erik and the RHS thought be best for that area. From there, the RHS would generate seeds of trees and plants within the soul. and after that the RHS would accelerate the growth, causing the trees and plant life to grow.

the Human, they were next, ;left without their tools of war, their destructive things, they were left to nothing, they could start again however, and that wasn't an option, this was Gaia's world, not Humanities. Soon, each human, each person, each slayer of nature was infected with a virus known as Marburg virus, a strain of Ebola that was considered more fatal. Soon with the course of nature, the humans would die off, thanks to them not having medicine and cures and whatnot.

After a few minutes of work, the maestro, Erik, would be finished rewriting Earth. This new Earth was Human free, and now without mankind there to destroy it, it was free to grow how it was meant to be.

Nature was no longer a captive.

After the symphony of rebuilding was complete, the same Kydarin Crystal he used to help him power the rewriting process would lift out of the soil, rise to his hand and like it came, dispel itself. Erik, himself was pleased, but he knew that this was only a test.

"Well done," the crystalline light decreed, still taking in the data of Earth and assimilating it into the Veritas. His power was able to stop the planet's descent into extinction at the hands of humanity, however, this was not the end of his test, "Now. Show how you protect this place."

It was only so much to be able to save a planet, but an entirely different story in order to protect it from further harm. Where he cultivated the planet and returned it to a place of nature and beauty, from the distant depths of space would sinister insects flicker into reality, their buzz filling the empty space with an unpleasant discordant hum. A legion of large bugs that sought to harvest the planet for all natural goods swarmed it in the hundreds, easily surrounding the planet in little to no time at all. They all resembled locusts of sorts, and were about the size of planes. They came to the earth and began to consume the new life that had been created by Erik, consuming it to prolong their own. (10)

Before Erik knew it another test was at hand, this time the planet found itself under assault by insect like creatures about the size of fighter jets. This particular moment brought Erik back to times in the Sanctity Treaty where the military had to defend itself against the endless onslaught of the Soronian, another bug-like species.

"Been here, done that" Erik would say.

Normally he had his Gaian WarHammer, but this time he was without it. Once again he would have to use the Real Hologram System. In a near instant, Erik would call forth his vessel, the Strength of Soul, it was the equal to the General's Faith of Heart, however unlike the General's Erik's didn't stick to old technology, it used new stuff. Like Before, Erik would bring forth the Kydarin Crystal, and with that he would open up a connection to the Void and begin using it's energies to fuel the RHS to begin building an army, one large enough that even the Soronian might back off scared.

Within time, all around the globe, 100 kilometres apart in each direction, a node would appear. This node was a massive network of RHS units, independently controlled, independently operated by itself. Each node, would then begin releasing Funnels, much like those the General uses.











As the nodes began spamming out Funnels, each funnel would target the insectoids, and with each insect, shots would be fired from these. Fire, Light, Darkness, Gravity, Air, all sorts of magic-like energies would be fired at them aiming to strike them down.

Meanwhile, Erik was on board his Strength of Soul, watching a massive holographic map of the Earth. Red represented Bug and Green, Erik's forces, the funnels. Anything larger than the basic jet sized bugs was going to be dealt with personally by Erik. The RHS was fun and all, but Erik wanted to fight too.

Many of the Insects would be struck down by the sudden attack from the RHS, however, once they learned that there was an enemy in their presence, the Insects adapted and began to use their heightened wavelength sensory Antennae to feel the slight vibrations within space around them, buzzing and zipping about in a manner similar to how fighter jets would barrel through the skies.

A few were clipped, but for the most part, they were capable of accurately evading these Funnels and remaining out of harm's way. They were driven off from the crop that was this planet, but unfortunately for Erik, something greater was sprouting from the void he unleashed...

"Huahahaha... Yeeeesss... Heere we are... The perfect army..." A horrendous voice bellowed from the depths of the Void from which this army was created, and, after a wave of distortion, like an infection disease would the Red spread across his computer screen, rapidly consuming his forces as they would seem to be lit aflame spontaneously. They were now warriors of the Insanity, and it would consume Erik's entire legion fast if nothing was done.

The fires would swallow the trees as the bodies of the army men would begin to eat away at themselves; but not before they would cause sufficient enough damage to the world around them. Everything they touched sparked the flame of the Insanity across the earth... As though part of some nasty Plague.

The vile locust beasts would, after being attracted to this new source of energy (as, Insects see only in terms of power), they would pick off the little sick people infected by the Insanity and consume them ravenously, without a second thought. They did not have to stop, so they would not get fired at, as a person was portable food. Once picking them off, the Insanity would spread into the locust beasts, which would ignite them in the flames as well. All shots fired at them from that moment would be consumed and changed into fodder for the Insanity Insects.

With the new threat here, one that was consuming even the things that aimed to consume the planet, there was but one solution left. The solution was the end of the world. If nature could not have it's own world, then this Insanity, something Erik encountered before wasn't going to have it. Nor would Erik let this Insanity, or the Insects flow to other natural worlds and do harm.

If one sacrifice could save others, then so be it.

Thus, deep down within the Earth's core, a single atom or Radion would be released, this Radion was death itself. What Radion did was this: Radion was the destroyer of reality, it took matter, and tore it apart, dissolving it into nothing, no energy leftover, no traces, no nothing, just that, nothing. Since it was so deadly, only atoms of it were needed, for those atoms, as small as they were were a catalyst, one which would cause a reaction that allowed the Radion to indefinitely grow, feeding off of and only growing bigger with whatever it touched and tore apart. It was however controllable, and only by a Construct of the Sanctity Treaty.

Deploying it in this reality might even effect the real reality if Erik wasn't careful. There was that, and the fact that being trapped in this fake Reality meant the Kydarin Crystal was unable to recharge itself, unless the Fake sun in this reality worked like a normal one, thus it would charge it.

The Radion acted in a similar fashion to how the Zero World functioned, which only served as a containment chamber for the Insanity. Because it was capable of generating its own energy indefinitely, no matter how much the Radion attempted to consume it, it would continue to grow as long as it had a host.

However, eventually, the Radion grew large enough to consume the entire planet, yet still was not large enough to consume the entirety of the Insanity, for the Insanity would continue to feed off of anything it could get to as a host; The Sun, Space itself, Time... Whatever served as a host for the parasite at the time.

Even as the Radion grew larger, eventually, it would indeed effect the actual Reality created by the Creatrix Genome, which was set to dissolve this reality after an allotted time. This meant, nothing would be able to stop the Creatrix Genome from continuing to create more reality, regardless of how much was destroyed. Therefore, the Insanity could eventually grow large and powerful enough to break free of Reality itself and enter the Veritas... Where it would consume everything and leave a trail of Radion following behind.

After noticing the Radion Failed, Erik would look at the fledgling Insanity with wide eyes.

"How did William (the General) contain this" Erik would say wondering in his head, he didn't know how, his attempt to destroy it had failed, yet somehow, the General could contain it.

Without an option, Erik would begin the process of Anti-Radion, to stop the Radion from leaking into reality and attacking it, since Radion was controlled by Erik, he could do so, and he did do so.

"That's impossible, nothing can withstand a does of Radion and live" Erik would say to himself.

"I am beyond mortal comprehension..." the lingering deep rouge would mention, speaking to Erik from all throughout the reaches of space, now, "... I know of you... Yes... The one that existed on Vescrutia... Well, I can happily thank you for bringing me here... Hahahaha."

The Insanity already knew that this place was fake, however, because the Insanity was a phenomenon that transcended reality, being that it was something that did not follow the rules of logic, but did so in a logical manner, it could easily grow larger and break free within the allotted time that the Creatrix Genome had established. (7)

"It matters not what you do to me. There is no stopping me now. But I thank you for your services. When I return to the Veritas and I consume that reality and all those connected, I will be sure to leave your name for those who inquire on who to blame!!! HUAHAHAHAHA!!!"

After consuming the Sun of this isolated reality, the Insanity would begin to pulse out violent waves of discord from the light waves radiating from the Sun's surface, which would soon begin to weaken the barrier of reality further than what Erik had already done for it with his Radion. It wouldn't be long before this Reality was completely eroded and all that was left was Insanity to fill it, and then... The Creatrix Genome, itself.

"If anyone does blame me, I'll just say I wanted something interesting to happen" Is all Erik would respond to the Insanity.

After this he would hold his right hand out with an open palm instantly dispelling the Kydarin Crystal

"Hahahaha! I see!! I like you..." It said, the space around it growing ever more red; the breakout would occur soon enough. But first... "... Join me in my quest for absolute power. When I reign over the Veritas, and all dimensions, I will give you power greater than you could anticipate!"

In the area where the Earth was once created, the Insanity would condense into the form of another planet; one teeming with chaos and destructiveness to go along with the Dark Sun that ate away at reality.

"Become my minion and I will spare your feeble life!!"

"I don't need anyone elses power" Is all Erik would say to Insanity's offer.

Erik was no ones pawn, and his Will would more than likely keep it that.

"Very well then!" the monstrous force spake unto the foolish being, "THEN LET THAT MARK YOUR END!!!"

The sun started to glow brighter and with more concentrated focus, now. From the prominence sprouting from every side, thousands of blazing red arms outstretched outward and toward Erik with the speed of lightning. One touch was enough to incinerate him, most likely, for the concentrated flares were backed up by the power the Insanity had already accumulated from the battle before. Before breaking free of this reality, it was best to take out any force that had any potential of stopping the Insanity prior to, for when it broke out, the Creatrix Genome would be helpless to be taken over. (5)

Fighting was all Erik had left to do, he could spill all the words he wanted, but that as it usually did was nothing. Erik had to fight, and thus it would begin. All around Erik, a barrier would form, one that was distorted reality. This distorted reality caused anything that touched it to be pushed around as if the path being pushed was normal reality. Slowly, this Barrier would begin conforming to Erik's body, and soon it would act more as Armour that it would a Barrier. While Erik was doing this, he would use his RHS to generate two Anti Matter Beams that would fire off directly behind himself. These beams would be used as drills of a sort to blast through the Insanity creating an opening, an opening Erik would use to escape backwards by going Omnifarous.

The distorted reality barrier served its purpose rather well in protecting Erik from the initial attack... for the moment. However, after being stricken a couple of times by the hands of the prominence, he would notice it becoming significantly weaker, as though its reality were being eaten away at the same way the Insanity was doing within the Creatrix Genome. If he suffered too many blows, it would be eroded completely and leave him wide open for assault.

Meanwhile, the antimatter beams bore holes in the Insanity's prominence hands, dissolving those that they passed through... Though, this only served as a means of cutting off their distance and not actually destroying them. The hands would reform, though significantly less in number, lashing out at him again. Where the energy of this sun was focused seemed to be toward the newly birthed planet of Insanity, where the rays of the sun taking the form of these arms sought to connect with it... Perhaps to bring both of them together whilst Erik watched helplessly...
