Launch The Assault: Seventh Hand Of God; Hand Of Fate (Seventh Hand Of Perfection)

Quote :

In accordance with the order of things, Grand Tabrynth's God Hands would also come into motion alongside Hecatonkaerei. At certain points, the Eight Hands Of God that belonged solely to the Eight Arms Of Tabrith, and weren't general God Hands with broad or ambiguous powers, would align with and merge with the points where Hecatonkaerei's Eight Hands Of God that belonged to her would match up with, synchronizing them even amongst the movements of the thousands of other God Hands at work.

Yet, in doing this, Grand Tabrynth also retained a level of control over the other general God Hands as support for Hecatonkaerei and himself should he require it.

But with the Wind Entities all drawn under his jurisdiction, the Grand Tabrynth would pick out his Teraphim and also upload his own, O.S. Tensei, to walk among them. "Wind Goddess, Taomin; Wind Keeper, Taijitu; Wind Alice, Tabritha; Wind Souzenryoku, Aeris Tiamat :: Assignment." The four of them would complete an assignment and be assigned with and assignment toward four of the Eight Hands Of God on the Eight Arms Of Tabrith. The other four would remain connected to the Takamagahara, binding Grand Tabrynth to Hecatonkaerei and Omnia.

They would go where they were placed by the God Hands, without question, and complete their assignment on target as per mission, as expected from the Master Control when it called for the Lower Restrictions. They'd all been in a paradise-like vacation state for so long, leisurely languishing in their languor. But now, it was finally time for them to do their jobs for the first time in a long time -- if ever, for some of them.

Grand Tabrynth: "Sentou Taikei. (Battle Stations)"

Finally, O.S. Tensei, the AI of the Grand Tabrynth, and Avatar of Master Control, would be sent off to deal with the Argus Card System, as well as some maintenance about the Veritas where it needed some extra hands...

Now, it was very-well known that Taijitu, head of the Trunade, was going to facilitate operations from the Master Control of The Assault. That meant, she was busy manning the Grand Tabrynth and also powering The Argus for The Assault, and was set in place where she was in the Master Control unit.

But, The Phantom -- which was Tymon's Oversoul, parallel to Tigen, Tymon's Free Will -- was the Dark Keeper, and was instructed to follow Taijitu, who was Tymon's Goddess Form. That meant that The Phantom and Taijitu were already compatible, and they could do some 'Tycoon Ty-kun' operations in the Lawless Land together without Tai ever having to set foot on the ground if she really didn't want to. In her Unlimited mode, with the Thirteen Restrictions unleashing the Thirteen Tails of the Inari, she fed power to everything that was happening from the Thirteenth Restriction Unlimited Form, and grounded herself in order to do that.

But, The Phantom -- which she shared the Soul of, since she was just Tymon as a female, like Taomin -- could have unlimited power from the source to enact all of Taijitu's will via his own sources plus The Trunade and The $yndicate. Maybe even some Lawless Ones, if they were up for the biggest heist the Tensei would perform so far. Surely, any benefit to the Tensei would automatically benefit the Lawless Ones, no matter the terms that they were on with the Mainland or the Godfather of the Lawless Land, The Tyranophant -- which was also Tymon, and therefore also Taijitu, who shared the name 'Tycoon Ty-kun' with him as 'Tycoon Tai-kun'.

Instantaneously, the unrestrained power of Tymon struck the Lawless Land through Taijitu and The Phantom, with the Oversoul immediately encapsulating the whole of the Seventh Moon -- the Lawless Land of Valparaiso. The Phantom would immediately start calling in some favors about the area and let the unlimited power that he had in the Lawless Land start to synchronize. Thus, the unit named after the original Phantom -- the Phantoms -- were brought in to take on the task of The Phantom in the Lawless Land. She who led the Phantoms, bequeathed such a title by The Phantom himself as his successor -- his daughter, Chroma, the Cheshire Phantom -- would be instructed on what to tell her unit on behalf of her father, whom they respected and followed even more than their appointed leader, so he knew he could count on them, especially in the Lawless Land.

"Chroma," The Phantom called out to her on resonating wavelengths, "Daughter, Daddy Needs You To Get The Phantoms. Listen Very Closely, Because There Can Be No Foul Ups: Make The Priority Of The Phantoms Gaining The Favor Of The Lawless Ones In The Lawless Land, Not Making Adversaries Of Them. You, Chroma, Go Help Your Sister In The Fight Club." That should have been enough from there. So, Chroma, the Cheshire Phantom -- who was also known as the Phantom since she was bequeathed his title by he himself as the head of the Phantoms -- would be tasked with carrying out her father, The Phantom's will through the Phantoms, and also therefore be progressing Tycoon Tai-kun's will, as well.

Chroma, who shared a soul with her father -- the Oversoul, The Phantom -- commanded the legion that was formed after him and his namesake to honor him. His instructions were clear cut, and Chroma used the resonance she had with her father to traverse from wherever she was and instantaneously transition to the place where her sister, Triere, as Saphira, was -- in the Fight Club of the Lawless Land. Adhering to what The Phantom stated explicitly, she infiltrated Champion, the Fight Club, and would also bring in a Phantom unit, as well as spread them throughout the streets of the Lawless Land to seek to gain neutrality or camaraderie with them, if only temporarily. The Phantoms would be the ones the explain the meaning of the Veritas Mainland coming up and how that would naturally have a trickledown spillover into the Lawless Land no matter what. That was likely to persuade those cutthroat bastards.

So Chroma proceeded to rendezvous with her sister and let her unit, the Phantoms, carry out the operation from the shadows. In doing that, they would also be instructed to team up and support the other factions of the $yndicate that were littered about Valparaiso in the Color Factions and such. That way, all of the efforts of the Veritas from multiple angles could be achieved for most maximum efficiency.

Meanwhile, there was something else afoot that the Silver Pumpkinhead was responsible for doing, and that was to get in contact and resonate with the Gold Pumpkinhead, which was in the Distorted Reality, now known as Valparaiso, The Lawless Land. So, channeling the power that was latent between all of the Pumpkinheads, the Silver Pumpkinhead would communicate with the Gold Pumpkinhead whilst still managing his own dealings in the Alternate Reality parallel to the Distorted Reality. It was only so coincidental how fate aligned itself -- it was as if it was making it all too easy for Grimlock, even in his rusty times.

Whilst in the midst of commanding The Assault, Tai got a resonant message from the Silver Pumpkinhead, causing her Gold Pumpkinhead to form around her head, to receive the message. "Yeh?" she responded, "What's Up, Silver Pumpkinhead? Whatcha Got For Me? Spill It All, Old Man." Tai reclined, crossing her legs at the ankle, ready to get the update from the Silver Pumpkinhead. Right now, The Phantom and Chroma were on point, so Tai could focus on these types of matters regarding the outer elements of this plan and manage them whilst The Phantom handled what went on in the Seventh Moon.

Silver Pumpkinhead: "... Gold Pumpkinhead. Do You Read Me? I Am Reporting To You In The Neo Lost World, From The Alternate Reality, In The Data Realm. It Is Only So Fortunate That Your Alignment Would Be In The Distorted Reality, The Lawless Parallel To Its Alternate Version. With Such Coincidence, I Am Proposing That We Take Advantage Of This Little Connection Between The Realities, Since Both The Distorted Reality And The Alternate Reality Are Parallels And Derivatives Of The Original Reality, Which Is Still Under Veritas Dominion. If You See What I Am Seeing, I Am Assured That You Will Take Me Up On This Offer. Please Respond Promptly, As I Am Sure You Are Also Aware That Timing In The Matter Is Paramount For Us In This Instance."

Fucking Christ, Tai was fucked up. Jesus, she was all the way fucked up -- there was so much shit going on, and she had to sit at the helm with her right-hand, gazing into the Gold Pumpkinhead to see the Path Of Truth. Through the entire operation, Taijitu herself was the Mastermind. She'd come to Triere in order to seek her assistance in Launching The Assault across the Veritas so that she could gain vengeance for some Sins against her a short time ago. She wasn't going to let that debt go uncollected, and would seek payback immediately -- which came in this form. The Seventh Arm Of Tabrith was the final one that needed to go under way, and she was tired as all hell from managing the other ones out of nowhere plus all the other miscellaneous shit that none would know about throughout all her different forms and... Shit, Big Sis was swamped.

Either way, she was already here, doing the job, and also profiting from it, so it was worth the short time of being tired. Yet, with the other three arms wrapping up to completion, she could focus on the main heist -- the biggest part of the plans. Her favorite part. "... Mac..." Tai would mutter to Silver Pumpkinhead after he finished talking, "You Should Already Know That It's All Definitely In The Cards. Just You Wait -- Finish The Protocol And I'll Set You Up. In Fact, I'll Even Do You One Better When I Get My Shit Together." She snuffed a bit, fluttering her eyes to get the bugaboos out, "... Fucking Hell, Son. Yeah, But Go Ahead And Get Started On The Archival Shit, And I'll Catch Up To Ya. Go Link Up With Uh... You Know, The Metal Pumpkinhead And The Other Dark Ones, And I'll Get The Idea." She waved her hand dismissively. "But I'll Catch Up With Ya, Silver -- Gotta Keep The Eye On The Prize."

Taijitu never had her eye on anything but, ever in her life.

Uh, so, it was no mystery that Tymon, the guy who made the whole Veritas, owned all of it and could do whatever he wanted -- especially so with the Lawless Land, which he explicitly ruled over as Godfather of as The Tyranophant, his Seventh Restriction Form.

Even just as The Tyranophant, he was God of the Veritas in its entirety. The Crystal God, in fact. And, that said, Ty-kun had direct command over the Arms Of Tabrith as his own arms -- the Seventh Arm being the actual one meant for him to govern, which harbored the Seventh Moon, which was the Lawless Land of Valparaiso.

All that to say, Tymon stopped playing games with these kiddos that he lured into his trap and now started to use more of his power, flexing his true authority only once allowing the falsehood of hope to rear up in the enemy -- the Titans. Whilst they were diddling on the surface of the Seventh Moon, Tycoon Ty-kun, who owned the whole damn thing, was raising up the entire Seventh Arm, and moving the fingers on his Seventh Hand Of God. "Time's Fucking Up, Children," he bellowed dauntingly. "Game Over." He would assume his Insanity Form as Typhon, which was also a Titan -- the most powerful of all the Titans. He figured he was going to have to destroy some of them, but others, he wanted to save and make use of them.

As commanded, when the other beings were set up, Hecatonkaerei would begin to use the power of the Eight Arms Of Tabrith, which connected her to her father and mother. In doing this, she would call forth Tabrith, who was known now as both Tensei and The Tensei, as a hive-mind of the Veritas -- specifically the Tensei Clan. Tabrith, known also as the Great Mind, created and commanded Tensei of the Tensei Clan, as well as many other Constructs.

Technically, Tabrith could create all forms of life, or could create lifeless constructs and control them itself, but it all boiled down to this entity -- the Souzenryoku Of Earth -- being able to create and control life and constructs as a hive-mind. This power would be important within the Story in the Omnipedia as well as for backup and reinforcements in other locations. Since Tabrith was sentient and capable of manipulating multiple parts and versions of itself, it could deal with those who were on the Eight Hands Of God connected to the Eight Arms Of Tabrith. Likewise, whilst Hecatonkaerei dealt with things in the forefront, Tabrith could manage in the background with support, having the God Hands at its disposal, too.

In tandem, both Hecatonkaerei and Tabrith could command all of the God Hands and also create whatever they needed. For, The Great Mind was also part of The Creator, and The Godhead.

Just as soon as all of the Titans and their offspring were spread about the Lawless Land, Hecatonkaerei -- who had the power of all of the Hecatoncheires and also the Argus -- would begin to influence them. They would not know what was going on, but for whatever reason, they would be driven to do things that ultimately led up to the point of reaching Hecatonkaerei, who was also known as 'The Argus' in the Veritas.

As it was made clear, they were being used by 'The Assault' from beyond under the protocol 'Release The Titans', which O.S. Tina was left in charge of. So, the Titans were under her direct jurisdiction whilst they were within the Lawless Land under the binding of the Argus Card System, which supported them right now, like a video game's programs. The players would follow the algorithm, good or bad, but the platform would always support both players, which was what the situation for the Titans was like between themselves and Hecatonkaerei -- they were Players and she was the Game.

As it came to be, the Titans began to serve their purpose in the Lawless Land, as was per the design of the Argus Card System, as well as the protocols in place for supporting them for exactly this purpose. So, with The Titans on the Field of the Lawless Land, the Argus Card System itself could also participate directly in the Game. Drawing a Card internally and setting it upon the Field, the Lawless Land's innate Argus Card System settings built into the design would become active once the Argus Card System interacted with it, making them compatible. Hecatonkaerei would serve as the 'Master Control' unit for the entire Lawless Land whilst the Argus Card System was in effect, making her also the 'Ruler'. This meant that as long as she was the Argus Card System, she was the Ruler, and also the one supporting the Titans on the 'Release The Titans' algorithm on the Argus Card System, despite being in the Lawless Land. That meant that the Titans would inherently have to follow the algorithm of the Argus Card System before they were on the plane of the Lawless Land, and were inside the Argus Card System, despite being in the Lawless Land.

Quote :

Regardless of what the Titans believed, the balancing force was not the law of the land, but the law of the system that they were incorporated into, the 'Argus Card System'. Not following the rules would not yield benefit without repercussion, as it happened in Valparaiso normally. Even then, some things, by laws of nature, would present a bad outcome, no matter if you followed the laws or not. That meant that the detrimental effects still had an effect should someone commit a lawless act or follow lawlessness, especially if enforced by a higher being by choice and not by requirement. This fit the description of what Hecatonkaerei was doing with the Argus Card System and Valparaiso with the Titans.

Whether or not they noticed, they were all watched over by Hecatonkaerei, and were guided throughout the Argus Card System as a secret faction of the Lawless Land. Now, the other factions should have presented themselves. Each of them was ruled by a different party of the Veritas, and each one had different followers, despite being under the same corporation. There may have been competition on a fundamental level, but intrinsically, they were all interwoven together to support one another, and any conflict between them was wholly superficial and likely on a base level regarding the members and not the heads.

Either way, the Color Factions were now being threatened for control of the Lawless Land by the Titans, who were trying to take over each of the industries that belonged to whichever Color Faction. Thus, the heads of each Color Faction as well as their industry that they represented would be instigated to react to the invasion.

As things went on, the Titans would find that their plans would often be thwarted by the algorithm of the Argus Card System, which kept them subdued by it. Not only did several 'Hazards' manifest that would prevent them from ever completely taking over, once things became more serious, beings were created specifically as a threat to them. The beings were known as Godeaters, and were capable of consuming even the Primordial Gods, like the parents of the Titans.

The Godeaters were relatively sparse, but lethal to any of the Titans all the same, and in direct service to the Argus Card System, and therefore also Hecatonkaerei. The Titans would not be able to differentiate the Godeaters from another normal entity, and so would be their demise should they encounter one.

Quote :

As it came to pass, the Titans begat neuroticism, likely due to the trauma of being hunted and imprisoned in archaic times. They were paranoid, which made them sloppy, and reckless, which in turn allowed for Hecatonkaerei to play the Argus Card System in her favor. With the Command being Input, the Godeaters would gain the capacity to parasite the minds of the Titans, feeding from their neurosis and paranoia, infesting it with even more instability, and draining the minds via such an attachment, ultimately killing them through psychological damage.

V.

Quote :

The Titans may have been able to salvage their lives for the time being, but they were in much worse shape than when they started, and were certainly now being actively hunted. With the Godeaters searching for them, no matter how few of the Godeaters there were in comparison, they still would not fall to a Titan, and that meant that inevitability was the only fact of the matter when it came to their lives.

Beyond the Godeaters, the other Lawless Ones had gotten tired of the Titans at this time, as well, and were more than likely ready to give them a comeuppance. They had not a single friend in this realm save for themselves, which also wouldn't get too far. Such is why one does not rule with oppression.

Either way, the game was set from here on, and the Argus Card System needed not intervene any further if not so chosen. All of the mandatory setup to get everything situated was taken care of, and now the remainder would be handled by algorithmic protocol based on the still-resolving information that came from the setup. Ergo, Hecatonkaerei no longer deemed the Titans a reasonable enough threat to need to continue to use the Argus Card System nor watch over them, and was now going to handle other matters as events played out fully in the Seventh Moon.

So, Hecatonkaerei departed the Seventh Moon, leaving the Lawless Ones and their new Lawless Gods to their own devices.

Quote :

As all was moving according to the plans of The Tyranophant and Hecatonkaerei, the Titans that the two of them released were very busy about the Lawless Land, enjoying the lack of restriction and rule... Which was part of the attraction to the land, as well as the very most main traps about it. Whilst, yes, the lawlessness guaranteed anyone scott-free crime, it still meant anyone could come here and do anything... Including the Tensei.

So, now that the Titans were active again, Hecatonkaerei would return to the Lawless Land to complete the plans that she and The Tyranophant first began before they decided to 'Release The Titans' in the first place. They had been moving to the Tensei's will, even though they thought it was their own, and using the Argus Card System, the Veritas was about to wrap this up tight.

It came to pass that The Tyranophant triggered the full activation of the Seventh Arm, down to the Seventh Hand and the Seventh Moon. So, Hecatonkaerei, who managed the God Hands, was to assist him by supporting him with her power as he again terrorized the Lawless Land. Things there were coming to a head, and it was about time to fully subdue that place once again, before things got too out of control. The Veritas was right on time, as usual, when someone tried to conquer their land. This time, they'd brought a great deal of notoriety to this place, which was the entire reason why they allowed outsiders to even make such an attempt.

The Titans had done their jobs and fulfilled their purposes, so now... It was time to put them in their place.
