Release The Titans; Shine City

Of all the offspring of the Titans, the ones that were considered Gods were the most intriguing of them all. They were not just Spirits or Forces of Nature, but also something like humanish embodiment. They had the flaws of humans with the attributes of Gods, and they lived in the heavens or other worlds, watching over the humans.

Some of the lesser known Gods and Goddesses came from the line of Crius, which did not harbor the Olympian Gods, which are the most commonly known. They are still Gods, however, known or not known, and therefore at least had equal or greater power than the Olympians. They would have traveled to the very special 'Land Of Diamonds', where the Diamond Mines were. The Crystal Castle -- which was a stadium for many types of sports, tournaments, competitions, and events and the like, especially for prizes, and was made in the image of the actual Crystal Castle the Tensei live in -- was large enough to encompass an entire city.

This city was known as 'Shine City', which was a 'Tourist Attraction', but also a Residency. The Titans that were Deities would live here in Shine City within the Crystal Castle and supervise events held here and rake in the income, controlling all of the things going on in Valparaiso at all times because all revenue and all interest would go into stadium events -- like sports, tournaments, and fights between the Lawless Beings, Otherworlders, and anything else in or outside the Veritas.

The setup was absolutely ingenious in every way, and they wondered why it was never before used. But it didn't matter now, because they were going to take up the residency in Shine City, control Tourism, and get all of the land's income.

The offspring of the Titan Crius that became Gods, like the Olympians, were considered to be 'Mythos', but also 'Nytozins', and they would inhabit the 'Residency' within 'Shine City' in the 'Land Of Diamonds'. They lived with and under their Titan parents, governing and supervising the other offspring spread about the Lawless Land. Everyone everywhere would want to come and test their might against Gods, especially Lawless Gods, to see if they could best them, so it would certainly attract rich and powerful people automatically.

The Valparaiso Denizens would come to fight as well, which would bring the direct income from the Central City to the Land Of Diamonds, as well.

Otherworlders would come from beyond for things like Tournaments, or even just normal Challenges. Many already came to the resident 'fight club' of the Lawless Land, which was somewhere in Valhalla, the Central City. Some might feel lucky and want to gamble, and the likelihood of something like that happening increased with more people going to the city for the sake of preparing for the Event that would occur in the Crystal Castle. That meant people from the city were using resources and pouring them into the Main Attraction, and people from beyond the Veritas were using resources and pouring into the city for the Main Attraction, as well.

Everything about Valparaiso suddenly revolved around the now so-called 'Main Attraction', which was an 'Event Arena', made specifically for 'Events' of all kinds, and not just regular brawls or battles to the death, like out in the 'Warrior's Wasteland'. Though still Lawless, they were regulated and controlled, and there was an organized, though completely one-sidedly beneficial fashion. The Titans controlled the resources and finances, they control the direction of the city's attraction, they provide for the winners of the Events, then pour their efforts into other Events furthermore, continuing the chain of reward.

So now, the Valparaiso Denizens and the Lawless Land -- still very much gentrified by the Mechanica, though simply formerly deserted for a while due to lack of tourism -- would have a common orientation around 'Unrestricted Battle', where there would be practice for such and the Events held for them in the Crystal Castle. Everyone could test themselves, see who was stronger, and win fabulous prizes as they did whatever they wanted, no holds barred.

What was unbeknownst to the new residents of the Lawless Land was that the Valparaiso Denizens, who stayed mainly in the Central City and in the Olde Witch City, hadn't ever gone to the Land Of Diamonds, because the Tensei kept that place heavily guarded. Those who knew of this place were afraid to try to enter, and the rest didn't even know where it was, let alone that it existed.

Now, however, the Crystal Castle in the Land Of Diamonds was getting publicity, and it seemed like the Tensei were allowing people inside. The Valparaiso Denizens didn't know that the Titans were the ones running the show in the background regarding the Crystal Castle, since it was common knowledge among the people that the Tensei ruled over the entire Lawless Land. They didn't involve themselves in many affairs, and didn't really impede on the Valparaiso Denizens, but they did have and exercise their powers, which were legally not bound whilst in the Lawless Land. None of the Valparaiso Denizens, not even combined, could handle even one of the Tensei of the Royal Family, let alone the actual Tyranophant, who claimed superiority over the Lawless Land as the Godfather. All of them were at his mercy and wanted to be in his position, but he didn't even really ever reveal himself.

Still, he'd defeated them in ways that were much too embarrassing for their liking, in completely overwhelmingly one-sided bouts. By himself. So obviously, the ideas of self-preservation kept the Valparaiso Denizens from rebelling openly, but they all wanted their shot at being the Godfather of the Lawless Land, as The Tyranophant was.

The sudden startup of the Crystal Castle and acceptance of the commonfolk into the Land Of Diamonds was pretty strange, but considering the place was called the Land Of Diamonds, the Valparaiso Denizens figured they could score pretty heavy in a place like that, which they'd never before been to. They talked extensively on the way to the Land Of Diamonds about a choreographed diamond heist, coming up with all sorts of ways to go about nabbing the precious jewels, and maybe even the territory, itself.

As more and more people across the Lawless Land flocked to the startup of the Crystal Castle, the Nytozins that served under the Titans ended up handling most of the grunt work, as the Titans kept things orderly in the background. Yes, they wanted the natural Valparaiso Denizens to attend the Event Arena, but their real target audience were the Tourists. The Nytozins were tasked with invitation of any Otherworlder which should so wish to be a Tourist, and even the Tourists from the Mainland of the Veritas -- any and everyone who wished to participate or spectate at the event.

Participants would be dealt with accordingly, being instructed on what sort of event would take place and how to prepare, whereas spectators would be guided to their seats or to Shine City, which was attached to the Crystal Castle as a 'Tourist Attraction' and 'Giftshop', but spanning across an entire miniature city.

Soon enough, the excitement from the Crystal Castle was spread out to the universe, and people who were regular Otherworlders to the Lawless Land and also newcomers found themselves congregating in the Crystal Castle's entrance, waiting to get in. Though some Otherworlders were perhaps participants in the event, many were only spectators, and counted as Tourists. The crowd of them grew larger and larger over time, as it seemed like the enthusiasm for the newest attraction of the Lawless Land was something that plenty who knew of this place were ecstatic to divulge in. The influx of revenue would likely come from tourism, but also clearly from the participants, as well.

With the Tourists coming from all over, the Otherworlders who would be contenders also appeared, letting the Nytozins that were keeping the order of the event escort them to either the place where they would participate or the spectator's seats. These Otherworlders didn't seem very interested in Shine City, the giftshop. They were here to either face off, or to watch the battle, and were dedicated to that. It seemed like they were excited for this new attraction in the Lawless Land. Plenty of them noticed the Land Of Diamonds when entering or exiting this place from space, but they'd never been allowed over there until now, so some older faces that frequented Valparaiso were here to see if this place was worth their business and interest.

Meanwhile, the Valparaiso Denizens that finally were granted access to the Land Of Diamonds fanned out in secret, many of them having the 'Power Of Darkness' granted to them long ago before they were sent to Hell for stealing the power, but since they'd returned, they taught the Valparaiso Denizens that hadn't been sent because they hadn't wrongfully taken the power how to use that power, so that they would all be able to hold their own. They kept this power they had a secret and all did all that they could to appear normal and stupid on the surface so that none would suspect the rather calculative minds bearing a very potent ambiguous ability. This was probably why the Kurogami didn't want them to have access to the 'Power Of Darkness', but it was actually helping them out quite a bit, especially because they weren't supposed to have it, and didn't let anyone know, so it remained a secret amongst only the Valparaiso Denizens as it spread throughout their peoples.

So by the time they got inside, it was go-time. Some of them disappeared into the shadows and never resurfaced, whilst others of them, who had been honing the Power Of Darkness for a while, created shadowy clones of themselves that served to make the crowd look bigger than it was, thus making them more inconspicuous amongst them, and also potentially serving as decoys as the Lawless Ones commenced with petty theft.

But petty theft was only stage one of a larger operation. They were definitely not above being petty thieves, but they still had the capacity to be so much greater, and they knew this. Even the Lawless Ones had their level of order to themselves. They didn't HAVE to follow it, but they CHOSE to, because it was best for the situation when it came time.

All the while, they filled up the spectator seats and also joined in the competition, in order to keep up appearances of how many of them there actually were. If they weren't in the stands and in the competition, someone might get suspicious and wonder why all the Valparaiso Denizens weren't anywhere to be found. So the facade of having numbers was actually playing to their advantage here, and it was likely no one would suspect a thing as the Land Of Diamonds got fleeced one step at a time...

Unbeknownst to the Titans, the Tensei, who owned the Veritas, were aware when one of their inactive services went online. Sure, it was being put to good use, and this was the Lawless Land, so there should have been no qualms, but being the rightful owners still came with the territory, and even if commandeered, they would fight for it. The Tensei had plans of their own, but the Titans were playing into them by using the Crystal Castle for its intended purpose, albeit without permission from the Tensei.

She who would be sent down as the representative of the Veritas itself was none other than a Tensei who'd embodied a Titan, herself -- Tethys Tensei, known also as Serulenia. The wave of popularity was enough of a current for her to surge in on, the actual wavelengths being like water. She was the Water Goddess of the Veritas, and had such mastery over the waves of the universe, which were in the likeness of water -- especially primordial waters, which she and the Water God specialized in. The rushing cosmic wave unfurled at the gate and subsided, revealing the Mizugami already in her signature battle armor. Her ocean blue hair flowed fluidly like the waters as it hung off of her head, and her mystic blue armor seemed to undulate in the light, like the sun's reflection on the water.

A quick sensory analysis of the wavelengths of the area alerted Tethys to all that was occurring, down to the finest detail, and as she entered, she began calculating a plan based on her analysis. She was not a Goddess for no reason, and she was going to educate all who decided to participate in this fiasco why they should be wary about touching the Tensei's private property without permission. They'd gotten too content because the Tensei did not actively do much in the Lawless Land; it usually worked for itself. But they still had the greatest power, and that meant they were the rulers. It had been a long while since they had to fight anyone for control of a Lawless Land's territory, but it would happen much to their benefit this time.

She wasn't going to waltz right in, either. No. She was going to deal with every situation going on based on priority, building up to something greater, like a rising wave. But the only way a wave like that functioned was based on momentum. So the beginning was of critical importance.

"... It Is Time, My Children..." spake Tethys once she was alone within the Land Of Diamonds. All around her, her Royal Servants appeared, each of them being embedded with a piece of her Multisoul, as usual. "Lavis," Tethys said to the brown-haired woman with the large, black wings, "Handle The Giftshop Area." Tethys turned now to the one who had silverish-white hair, and wore a maid outfit. "Echo," she spake, "Deal With The Lawless Ones." Finally, Tethys addressed the blond with a large, thin ring behind her head imbedded with different colored crystals, and wearing a type of light battle armor, brandishing a large sword. "Rynoh, You Are In Charge Of Security And Crowd Control. Be Sure That No One Gets Out Of Line Or In Our Way, And That No Disorder Should Occur Unless I Say So."

After giving the three most favored Royal Servants their instructions, the three took to them, with Tethys herself finally moving directly into the arena, as if to participate in the event. Her look was stern and serious, yet also serene and composed.

Surely, a powerful presence like Tethys' would not go unnoticed by anyone with the power to pick up on such forces, and this alarmed the Nytozins, whose strength may have been supernatural, but not Godly. They were worried now that Tethys would domineer the entire situation and muscle the Nytozins out. It was agreed that they needed to contact the Titans for this, but the show had to go on.

So, with Tethys in the event ground, the other combatants were also summoned to the area. The Tourists were guided to their seats and the show would begin.

"Welcome, one and all!" began the Nytozin announcer, "The Crystal Castle is proud to host a spectacular event for all of your entertainment! Our participants are gathered here to face off against each other for your delight! The winner will receive full accommodations on the Lawless Land as well as the Grand Prize money plus the title of the Champion! Each bout will consist of a three-way brawl between the representative of the Mainland, the representative of the Lawless Land, and the representative of the Otherlands! Contestants, introduce yourselves and take your positions on the field."

With this type of setup, the Nytozins didn't have to participate in the battles, and could occupy Tethys plus the contestants and the crowd without causing a stir, and conserve their energy whilst wasting Tethys', in case they needed to face off against her at any time.

As per instruction, one of the other contestants spoke up, introducing himself. "I am known as Burning Sun. I come from a race of beings that drain stars of power." The pigmentation and texture of his skin seemed to be best suited for absorbing the sun's rays, so it was likely that his entire body was a receptor for solar power. "I want to win and then drain your star dry so that I may have its power and be strongest in the universe." He seemed very adamant about his goals, and quite direct, as well.

Naturally unexpectedly, one of the Tensei showed up to the event, and everyone who was anyone already knew what it was like when a Tensei appeared in the Lawless Land directly. So whatever was going on that she was upset about, -- which was likely the use of this facility that the Valparaiso Denizens, at least, knew belonged to the Tensei -- it was obvious that this event was not scheduled by a Tensei at all. So someone else was running the show this time, and now the Valparaiso Denizens knew.

They would keep up their appearances as the 'ignorant bystanders', even going as far as using the power of darkness to cloud their minds artificially for a time, making them more ignorant, and thereby less capable of answering if questioned. They could also use that method to stall and seem innocent by conveniently not having any information, but still keeping the one looking in one place whilst the others escaped. Classic 'Decoy' setup.

"Ahhh, yeah, aaahhh..." the one in the arena spoke up, seeming as if he was trying to come up with a backstory for himself on the spot, "... The name's Mac, ya know? Mac Jovi. Yeah. That, there." He kinda gestured some; vaguely. "So uh, my uh, family is really poor and oppressed and allat, and, uh, I just wanted to win all the prize money so I can feed my family at night and not have to live in an oppressed location. Yeah. That, there." His alibi seemed airtight. He neglected to mention any powers he had, but that was likely on purpose.

Finally, the time came for the representative of the Mainland to speak. She had been so tacit and stoic all up until that point, where her eyes opened when she was done quietly listening to the introductions of the others. "I Am Tethys Tensei, Otherwise Known As Nautilus Serulenia, The Mizugami. On Behalf Of The Tensei, Who Built And Own This Commandeered Establishment, I Will Fight For Both The Victory And Also The Crystal Castle. Lawless As This Land May Be, We Will Not Sit Idly By And Let Someone Simply Invade Territory Established By Us. By Law Of The Lawless Land, Anything Goes Anytime, So It Is Unsurprising That This Location Would Be Invaded Due To Our Absence."

Yet, Tethys found herself restraining a smirk as she continued on. "... So Kind Of You Lot To Finally Put Our Place To Good Use. Who Better To Show You How To Operate Our Creation Than A Tensei, Correct...?" If the diabolical Tensei family hadn't made themselves clear to the Lawless Ones and Titans yet, then by the time Tethys was done with them, they surely would.

The Nytozin host that was announcing the event would become very distressed at the mention of the Tensei, as well as the name of she who was sent. "... Tethys...? But she's...!!" Of course, the same thing as history in a typical realm would be classified as mythology and other such lore in the realm of the supernaturals, such as the Nytozins and the Fae, which were comprised of Creative Energy. So they were well-learned about the different mythological beings because they were natural and native to their realm, and were part of it as history was to any other realm. So legends like the Titans were already quite well-known in the Dream World where the Nytozins were from. Tethys was a Primordial Titan, greater than even the latter Titans that were born afterward. "... One of the Tensei is a Titan?!"

It wasn't uncommon at all for the Titans to fight each other, and in fact they did that relatively regularly. It is part of what got them imprisoned in the first place. But for one of them to be one of the Tensei...? How could that have--?

It dawned on the Nytozin that the microphone was still on, and that Tethys was a serious problem. "... A-Ah! Well, it looks like you'll have a show here, ladies and gentlemen! The representative of the Mainland is also a Titan." He kept repeating phrases that included him mentioning that Tethys was a Titan, as an effort to have the speakers to serve a purpose in alerting the Titans that the Nytozin worked for about how another Titan was coming for them, and that they should be aware. "But anyway, if all of the combatants are ready! You may begin as soon as I am in a place of safety!" The Nytozin prolonged his exit as long as he could to stall the start of the match and give the Titans time to prepare for the gravity of the new situation.

The battles were about to go underway, but none could have expected what would take place as soon as they did. Not only did more fighters join the fray... They were all Titans. Each of them alone could dwarf the power of any of the other contestants most likely, and all of them together with their great mass and imposing presences would only bring about a great pressure on everyone that was present. "Brethren!" they called out to the lesser Titans that were managing Shine City, "Come Forth! The Natives Are Rising Up!"

Interrupting the whole tournament, the Titans would call their kin to the still-much-larger-than-all-of-them field that seemed to accommodate all of their gigantic sizes without being too much or too little. Clearly the field was designed for epic proportions, but, that was beside the point. All of the lesser Titans would fit on the field as well, and they congregated with the greater Titans that summoned them, and they explained the situation, updating each other on the goings on.

Soon after, the managing Titans that were stationed at Shine City, whom everyone knew as the facilitators of the tournament, would speak. "Sorry For The Minor Disturbance, Folks. I Guess They Don't Call This The Lawless Land For No Reason. Am I Right? But We're Still Going To Put On A Show For You, And You'll Get Your Money's Worth -- But Now, Even More Than What You Paid For! What A Bargain, Right? So Sit Tight, Because We're Having A Surprise Change To The Battles! It's Going To Be An All Out Titanomachy!!"

The Titans were ready, but the ones who were managing would keep the crowd hyped so that they didn't lose their profits. They knew they would succeed, but having people watch them defeat the natives of this place and take over would do wonders for an image, which they knew was very important for instilling fear and respect and whatever else they demanded as Primordials. So there they would remain, hyping the crowd up and awaiting the natives to reach them, sending wave after wave of minions to slow them, thin them, distract them, deter them, and whatever else minions could do in all their variety and variability.

Things were picking up quickly, and that was the Lawless Ones' cue to skeedaddle. They signaled each other in their respective ways, and dipped out, using all of the commotion from the Titans as the perfect cover. They would snatch everything from everywhere and make a run for it straight into the darkness.

Tethys retained composure as the Titans appeared, and chaos ensued. Having a little time to further assess the situation, she saw that this was all the doing of The Titans, and not the lesser of them. "... What A Pleasant Surprise," Tethys jested, "Titanic Brethren Seeking To Commandeer What Isn't Theirs Because They Think That Everything Is Made Just For Them, And Because They Simply Can. Is That What Vanity Has Brought You To Us Here On The Veritas?" She didn't at all seemed fazed, and actually began to approach the Titans. "... Rest Assured, A Show Will Be Put On, But I Still Do Not Think You Realize What That Entails." Drawing her greatsword and prepping it for battle, Tethys' aura began to flare about her and across the ground like rippling waves of water. "Have At You, Then. No Need To Skimp The Audience Of What They Came Here For."

The jarring occurrence was overwhelming to many of the Otherworlders, who were anticipating fairness in some regard. Obviously, they shouldn't have thought that at all, but there was no ruling out that possibility in the Lawless Land -- which was why they came. For the greater of them, who could foresee or control events based solely on following protocol the best, something outside of their capacity of jurisdiction was just the thrill for them, and the Lawless Land provided that. There were no rules to study or follow, meaning they didn't have an advantage over anyone, and anything, good or bad, could happen at any time, including anything neutral or unexpected. It was a constantly changing known unknown that varied amongst whatever was going on, known or unknown, that could involve everyone or just one being capitalizing on the fact that no one knew what went on in secret. It was a gorgeous place for the powerful and the confident, but unfortunately, not every person was that, or had either quality to keep afloat in the Lawless Land.

Unsure of whether to defend themselves or take sides, plenty of Otherworlders took to joining up with each other, normally based around which of their planets or galaxies were within proximity, or within some level of knowledge and peace with each other -- alliances between worlds. This was done in the audience stands, but plenty of them were smart enough to know not to try to act out, no matter how powerful they deemed themselves independently.

But others of them just wanted to fight and display power. So, with all such rule thrown down in the stadium, they joined the fray, siding with either the Titans, or the Veritas, or standing alone, feeling chiefly about their own independent power and ability as a standalone.

The Nytozins that were subservient to the Titans would join them in their endeavors, due to their previous allegiance to them. Combined, they believed themselves to be greater than any force anywhere, and none would be able to stand against them as long as they fought as a unit. With all such confidence, the supernatural beings sided with their Titanic ancestors, and joined forces against the Tensei.

With all the excitement about, the Titans barely noticed that there was the other of their kind still against them, even after they got reinforcements. Though they wouldn't take just one measly Titan seriously against all of them, it was recognized that she was one of the Primordial Titans, and not one of the Lesser Titans of the degenerations. By default, any Primordial Titan could defeat their degenerate offspring, who became weaker and weaker as they continued to breed.

But, as fortune would have it, there were also some Primordials amongst their ranks as well, and even when Tethys flared up her watery aura, it was little more than a splash of droplets on their toes. Though it wasn't uncommon knowledge that the gigantic Titans were not all the most intelligent, and most of them didn't even think about anything with any regard of greatness in comparison to or greater than themselves. To the Titans, they were the greatest of all beings, and refused to see otherwise, especially not at any kind of advantage.

With the Nytozins joining them, and the Lesser Titans also in the mix, the Titans would take all manner of action against Tethys, though not because they felt it necessary... Only to have fun completely overpowering this one singular entity without remorse or better thought. The most brutish of the Titans would assail her physically, whilst the smarter or more indirect of them would gain some distance and strategic positioning.

In all of this, for some reason, the Titans didn't seem to be working independently as individuals, which was their actual greatest weakness -- they thought themselves so great independently as individuals, they could almost literally never work with any other creature, including their own kind. They were standalone type entities that fought for supremacy even when they needed to work together. It was very out of character and out of nature for them to work together, even with direct blood relatives. Their coordination and cooperation was nothing like was was common for the Titans at any point in time ever in history...

Quote :

Adhering to the will of her father, Chroma, the Cheshire Phantom, would work with her Veritas Elite Unit, the Phantoms, in order to complete the mission alongside the Lawless Ones against the Titans. There would be cooperation and camaraderie betwixt them for as long as their adversary should so be the same and also there be no antagonism from either party between each other for any reason.

The Phantoms were bid to blend in with the Valparaiso Denizens from there, and Chroma would start speaking to the leaderlike figure amongst the Valparaiso Denizens -- Mac.

The Phantoms and the Valparaiso Denizens would exchange valuable nuggets with each other in the backalleys of the Veritas Lawless Lands, prepping to put on a front to storm their mutual enemy.

Since it seemed no one even noticed when the Valparaiso Denizens made off like bandits, they would just resume their former places, as much as they could. That, or slip back in when no one was looking, as if they'd always been there, and remain in larger congregations completely out of sight, as if to act like they'd all always been there.

Likewise, since the Titan that they made the deal with didn't know any better, he couldn't know if the Valparaiso Denizens were still on their side. They would obviously play the field to their advantage, even if it meant turning against the Tensei in the eyes of the Titans, but they would mostly try to be nonchalant right now, acting as spectators and instigators, so that no one would leave or become suspicious of the goings on in the shadows.

Tethys found the efforts of the Titans audibly laughable, not even feigning any level of distress to make them feel any better -- they already felt so superior; there was no reason at all to inflate their egos further. Every strike was met with stalwart stoicism, to the point where even the heaviest blows didn't even knock her an inch from her place. Instead, all of the force behind every physical attack was absorbed into the armor, which was its signature ability. So, Tethys' equipment grew stronger and stronger without her having to do anything at all.

"Are You All Quite Finished...?" she asked in the midst of the onslaught, yawning some. "Even If You Aren't, It Seems That The Veritas Intends To Finish You, Anyway. My Own Reinforcements Have Arrived." She chuckled gently, proceeding slowly forth, still taking each and every blow without flinching in any way. "Come Along, Everyone -- They Are Prepped And Primed. The Best Time To Strike Them Is Now."

Seeing the tiny Tensei woman not even flinch at the display of power from the Titans very much unsettled them, but instead of showing fear, in their primordial egotism, they instead decided to become even more hostile and grow in wrath, believing that a greater display of force would end up being more effective.

So, whilst many of the Titans simply acted on primal impulse of superiority, and would stand their ground in pride, again rearing up to attack, Coeus, the Titan of Intelligence, would break off from the group and let his idiot brethren be a faithful distraction, knowing they would act like this, and disappearing from all trace of record -- just like the first Titanomachy -- to slip into the background, as the mastermind of the motives behind -all- the Titans in the Titanomachy.

Just like the first time against the Olympians.

But, the Titans that did indeed try to flex their primordial status before Tethys -- who was, honestly, more primordial than most of them, even though she'd reincarnated on the Tensei's side -- would begin to destabilize the reality around them in their unstable wrath, their powers overpowering their control over them, and instead being exuded from them in a feral, very much primal way. They blended into an amalgamation of themselves, no longer able to retain their form, and becoming something -even more- primordial -- Chaos.

Chaos billowed forward, breaking down everything around it as it suffered a full-on breakdown, motioning toward Tethys with all such magnum chaos.

Stalwart before her tantrum-throwing brethren, Tethys barely even scoffed a snicker at them as they deformed into an amalgamation of their most primordial form, which was all of them combined as one being -- their father, Chaos. "... Typical," she uttered, unblinking and undaunted. "Very Well, Father..." Tethys spake, drawing her greatsword and stepping forward toward the flux of destabilizing chaos, "... This Time -I- Will Be The One To Cut You Down." For, the chaos that Chaos released outwardly as himself in broken pieces had finally come back together, which was symbolic of the 'Big Bang' finally compressing back into a chaotic singularity. However, obviously, the process would be a little different coming back in than going outward. That was also what made Tethys so confident.

"... There Will Be Order This Time, And You Will Be Lain To Rest Forever, O Father Chaos. May You Be Reborn In Your Pure Form With The Coming Together Of Your Children." The waves of chaos that hit Tethys would not at all destabilize her, but instead were manipulated as the waves of the sea would, and became calm after passing over her, their wavelengths shifting into a form that was like water and not like chaos. Thus, Tethys would draw more and more of their energy from them as they emanated it, converting it into power for herself; a rising wave curdling behind her in the wake of her soft, calm, and decisive steps. She readied her blade, taking aim, and taking heart.

"SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER." A swirling infernal mass of pure malicious primal chaos ignited before Coeus, taking on the form of Typhon, The Titan God, in his Insanity Form, looking like he was barely holding himself together -- including his wicked-insane, trembling, flickering smile. "AIN'T SO SMART IS YA NOW, BITCH!?!?!?" Typhon was The Tyranophant when he allowed himself into his Insanity Form, but Typhon was also a primordial Titan just the same as Coeus, and the other Titans, and was actually seen as the greatest of them. "You're Making Quite A Ruckus On -MY- Property, Yeah? But Guess What? I Was Just Using You To Get Some Notoriety For The Veritas! And You Did Just That! So, Uh... I Guess What I'm Trying To Say To You, Coeus, Is..."

Typhon would Manually Overwrite Coeus, thus erasing the Mastermind of Chaos, the most Primordial Titan, and thus leaving it with no brain. "... THIS GAME IS OVER!!!" Typhon cackled maniacally, making -every- sort of -hideous, =cacophonous=- noise that was known and perceptible -AND- that wasn't, with laughter surpassing that of even Abraxas, having Abrasax's -hideous- Nebuchadnezzar noise -fully- drowned like that fucking fetus-chicken-Babylon-baby-bird-man in a fucking tub. "OMFG, YOU -FELL FOR ITTTT!!-" Typhon continued, his laughter -growing-, in fact, and starting to actually -destabilize- everything =worse= than Chaos. "I CAN'T EVEN -BELIEVE- HOW =FUCKING STUPID=!!!!" The Veritas was -again- about to make out like a bandit, slash and burn, cutthroat cut everything that was attached, and -only- come out on -complete- top after -dominating =and= decimating- enemies, leaving them -just alive enough with a tenth (or Tithe)- of their land left so Typhon could, with the -Whole Veritas- come -back- and -cultivate- and -gentrify- them.

It was too fucking priceless for words.

Yet, Typhon had a -series- of techniques that could describe it, in his own words:

"JENGA, BITCH!!! THIS GAME IS OVER!!! ULTIMATE FUCK YOU!!! FUCK SHIT UP!!! ABSOLUTE PUNISHMENT!!! ULTRA BADASS!!! ABSOLUTE FINAL WONDERLAND!!!"
