Post-Apocalyptic War Pt. VI :: Dead Silence; The Absolute Dead Wonderland

Quote :

With all of elements of natural disasters in play, it was time for Pumpkinhead to unleash the power of the Fifth Restriction. The wind from a tornado would spin in unison with a maelstrom of the waters whilst heat from the sun beamed down into it and broken land masses from the earthquake ridden continents were sucked inside. The four major elements would bring about the fifth element -- Spirit -- that would cause the angelic Fifth Restriction -- Shinrona -- to appear within the calamity.

Shinrona was magnificent in appearance, and his presence brought calmness to the area that he was in, despite how the rest of the planet was in total and complete disarray. His numerous angel wings shone with a bright light as his body of crystal magnified said light, making him appear as bright as the sun. The tornado calmed, the maelstrom silenced, the heat stabilized and the land disintegrated once his spirit was settled into the lost world.

He said not a word, but opened his crystal blue eyes to the sight of calamity, as well as those who were trying to ignore what was going on around them, despite how very adamantly and absolutely the Veritas was conquering the land. They still thought and sought to pursue their own goals instead of recognize that their planet was in trouble... Not unlike some Earthlings that were much like the people of the Lost World.

Shinrona shook his head in solemn sadness, yet kept a warm smile upon his face. He was here now to condemn them instead of to make peace with them, as he'd been trying to do when he visited as Tymon's God Body Vessel. What that meant was that he was going to use his power of 'Absolution' to completely wipe out all life on the planet whilst preparing the way for the Spirit of his Heart that was offended by them -- Taomin -- to cause them to suffer further. It was only a matter of time before they had to deal with the Seventh Restriction -- the Tyranophant -- which would be a more destructive meeting than anything that Shinrona could muster.

Still, the Angel King had to have some fun of his own; some revenge for what they'd done to him in all their inhospitable ways.

All of the Lost Worlders were ignoring their fate by the hand of the Tensei. That was to be expected, but the real devastation came later down the line.

"This Reality..." Shinrona, the Angel King, said, "... And Your Realities..." he continued, extending his hand, "Belong To Me."

His hand tensed.

"ABSOLUTE REALITY!!!"

A distortion occurred around everything and everyone on the Lost World simultaneously. The Lost World, itself, would also gain a distortion around it. This would cause all who were within their individual distortions to be trapped in their own 'Isolated Realities'. These 'Isolated Realities' would bring about the will and wishes of whomever was contained. They would all seem to be in the same dream, doing whatever they were doing before the Tensei attacked. Everything disastrous would disappear and there was nothing to harm them anymore.

It was, essentially, a paradise, free of the Tensei, the War, and their threat.

Shinrona watched over each reality from beyond as he ravaged the true Lost World from the outside. This was the ultimate punishment for ignoring -- to bear ignorance. Shinrona could easily interact with anyone and anything in the Lost World as he saw fit, but all he needed to do was to watch them, as of right now.

And watch them, he did.

"Oh," Shinrona noticed as he watched over the deluded Lost World, "They Are Trying To Thrive." He smiled. "This Is Certainly Out Of Spite And Competition, But That Will Not Last Very Long At All..." Shinrona moved his head toward one of the isolated realities and stuck it in, gazing deeply into the events that were occurring. "They Are So Ignorant... They Have Returned Fire." Finally, Shinrona laughed. "This Will Not Be Good For Them In The Long Run, For When It Comes Time For The Veritas To Mobilize Fully..." Shinrona's face contorted into that of a madman, eyes bulging and mouth spread wide across his face, sharp, pointed teeth revealed, "... I Will Show Them Ultimate Despair."

The little ants working together trying to pull together had no clue.

Shinrona watched the Lost World carry on with what they did in their isolated realities, being kept ignorant of the malice that was building up within their universe by the hand of Tymon, himself. They continued to frolic across their dying world as though there weren't a care in the world, when in actuality, that reality that they all shared was one created for them by Tymon, himself.

Shinrona -- the Fifth Restriction form -- was in charge of keeping them trapped in their realities, but he was also in charge of breaking their realities, as well. He would start with the one that belonged to the one who THOUGHT he banished Tymon from the Lost World and ended up starting this war in the first place -- the Astral King.

Peering into his battle, Shinrona's face became part of the atmosphere, and he said to the Astral King from within that reality, "You Are Busy Playing Around While Your World Is Destroyed... I Gave You Life Where You Were Lifeless... And I Will Take It Away." At that moment, the reality that the Astral King was in would shatter, and he would find himself falling into the greater scheme of things that were going on OUTSIDE of his little planet... Things that were already under Tymon's control. "I'd Suggest That You Look Around At The Larger Scope Of Things... Before The Largeness Oppresses You As You Had Done Me." Tymon had more control and influence of the OUTSIDE world, and thus, that made it so that the Lost World -- no matter how it tried to thrive -- would ultimately get crushed.

"I'll Leave You To Your Delusions And Escapism, Now..." Shinrona said, his face disappearing.

Shinrona chuckled to himself as he continued watching realities. He peered into one of a rather spunky female trying to advance her story a bit... Only to appear before her as a disembodied face with sharp, pointed teeth and dark, abysmal eyes.

"Vanguard..." Shinrona spake, voice echoing and mouth not moving as he spoke, "You Seek To Progress Your Story... But Do You Even Really Know What You Are Doing? Where You Are Going? Why?" Shinrona snickered. "Does Anyone? You Are Just Playing Around And Wasting Your Time. Where You All Are Merely Trying To Grow To Spite Me, I Am Feeding Off Of Your Growth To Get Larger And More Defined. So Tell Me..." Shinrona continued, trying to contain maniacal laughter, "Who Is It That Is Controlling Whose Reality?"

Finally, Shinrona witnessed something worth looking at. "Famine? Now, Aren't You Getting Just A Bit Desperate...?" He knew that none of them would know what to do about such a threat as the Horsemen -- Famine, specifically. "You'll Just Play Around With Powers You Don't Understand For A Little Bit And Then Get Tired Or Stuck..." Shinrona had seen it happen all too many times. But what was important about THIS particular time was... It was moving in tandem with what he'd been doing.

Then again, it did that the other times, too, if recollection served.

"I've Watched You For Long Enough And Seen That My Influence Has Caused You To Recognize The Damage Being Done To Your World... And, In An Attempt To Keep It Interesting, You're Going To Fight Against It... But, Haven't You Been Playing Right Into My Hand This Entire Time?"

Shinrona said no more. It was time for him to ascend to the Sixth Restriction -- one of the Seven Spirits; the one SPECIFICALLY that they hurt the feelings of before. Taomin.

With a casual chuckle, Shinrona left the realities to be as they were and rose up into the air, letting himself be consumed by a powerful wind. The wind swirled around him and glowed as green as his Heart Chakra did, illuminating everything with its splendor in a similar fashion as had been done during his appearance. This whipping wind subsided with Shinrona having transformed into a female; a vixen of nine fox tails. Completely naked and in the form of a Goddess, Taomin, the Spirit of the Heart, was borne of Shinrona's summoning and transformation.
