When they were first created, everyone knew that they were just helpless living beings, just like any other living thing. They die every day, and they cannot prevent it. Since the first day they were created in this world, they have all been faced with what is inevitable.
However, there was something inside their bodies that was never known. That is, a power. When they are together, they become strong. Very strong can even defend against what is impossible to defeat, and impossible to destroy. They were so strong together, like an omnipotent god. Plagues, natural disasters, wars. They've gone through all of that, together. Losing a loved one, they can never be prevented or avoided, but that is what makes them 'human'.
Once they were united, the flames of their determination blazed so great, that they became unquenchable.
...****************...
Just a moment ago, in the Limbo room
Everything was gathered in the room with a massive sized machine at the center of the room, filled with overcrowding. Near Limbo's machine, are two mechanoid people connected by wires. Silvia, and Exceels her name. They remained unconscious, despite all the commotion that was around them. Both of them remained silent in the same place, not caring about the entire explosion of bullets and sword slashes that could possibly hit them at any time.
It had been more than two hours they had all survived in that vast but narrow room of the Limbo M.I.N.D attack wave, just to protect the two mechanoids that seem to never wake back up to reality now. Originally there were more than hundreds of mechanoids that had extraordinary powers there, now only a few of them remained that could last a little longer than the others. Luckily nature still seemed to give them all a chance to rest for a while. Currently, some of them are standing guard around the Limbo room, while others are treating the wounded or readying their weaponry for the next wave of attacks. At first, things in the room began to ease a little after an intense tension for a moment, until finally, Bastion saw several M.I.N.D Limbo reappearing to attack them. This time, the Limbo M.I.N.D emerged from the ceiling of the room, as if to plunge head-on to attack the unconscious bodies of Silvia and Exceels once they landed on the floor with their own feet.
“Guys !! those M.I.N.D appeared again !! Above !!”
All of the mechanoids in the room looked up at Bastion, then pointed their weapons at the Limbo M.I.N.D.
“Cih, damn !! Though only 1 minute from the previous attack !!” muttered Vierra annoyed.
The Limbo M.I.N.D roared loudly. The red aura all over their bodies seemed darker than the previous M.I.N.D Limbo, indicating that their infection rate was much more severe than the previous M.I.N.D Limbo. A series of bullet shots and also instantaneous slashes have also hit some of the Limbo M.I.N.D, which has not even had time to plunge down, or set their feet on the Bulwark floor.
“Bastion, and other mechanoid tanks, move the injured to the back of the room !! We can't let these fucking zombies from Limbo infect them as well!!” nero exclaimed, while holding the Limbo M.I.N.D to plunge themselves to the floor with a streak of rocket fire.
“Yes, sir !!”
Hearing that, the entire mechanoid tank that was there immediately immediately carried some of their wounded mechanoid comrades towards the back door of that Limbo room. It's back heating up. Explosions were everywhere, filling the Limbo room for the second time. One of Limbo M.I.N.D finally managed to land his feet on the floor, not too far from the body of Silvia and Exceels who were sitting in front of him. The M.I.N.D Limbo quickly ran straight towards the two mechanoids, only to be slashed by the Bastion-owned greatsword that was emitting a blue light along its blade, being in an overclocked state. The body of the Limbo M.I.N.D disappeared instantly into reddish-colored particles, and then was not visible after. Seeing the situation around him, Bastion turned to look at Nero who was busy blowing up tens or even thousands with a barrage of fire from his rocket.
“Uh, general Nero !! Can we change his current plan !!? They are so much more, I think !!” exclaiming Bastion, who then slashed one more Limbo M.I.N.D who ran directly towards him while roaring horribly.
Nero quickly turned his head towards Bastion who was not far from him. But before Nero answered, he fired one rocket bullet first to detonate several Limbo M.I.N.D who were about to attack him with their sharp claws.
“They are indeed much more than before. Bastion !! You stay in with the others, protect the tanks together with my Tenebrion !! Understand !!?”
“Yes, sir !!”
It was at that moment, a man with two ice swords emerging from both protectors in his hands skated on the frozen floor, then it quickly and also nimbly charged towards the front of Bastion and slashed down several M.I.N.D Limbo, destroying their bodies completely. He is Tenebrion, a senior mechanoid who dedicates himself to staying beside his general, Nero, to always protect him from any harm. Indeed really senior, Bastion thought inwardly after seeing Tenebrion's action with his own eyes.
“Oi, Bastion, right ?? Hold those on the right and left, I'll clean up everything in front, okay ??”
“Oye !!” Bastion answered, giving a perfection mark using his right hand.
Tenebrion observed Bastion for a while, before finally giving a nod to Bastion and then darting towards the front, breaking through all the rows of Limbo M.I.N.D blocking his path. In his heart, he said that maybe he would become good friends with the junior who he even knew existed in the Bulwark. Bastion his name, he would always remember that, even if someday he would not become human again.
“Vierra, you protect those two people only. The rest, leave it to dad and the others !!”
Vierra stopped shortly after hearing the orders of her father, Nero. But after he slashed the head of another Limbo M.I.N.D, he did not do the slightest resistance immediately darted behind Silvia's body and Exceels connected by a cable to Limbo, stay there to protect the unconscious.
“You two better get out faster than there, you bastard duo....” muttered Vierra, looking around him that he and the two people who were inside Limbo had been mobbed by the Limbo M.I.N.D some time since.
Vierra grieves annoyed. Seeing the looks of the Limbo M.I.N.D who swarmed him, made him think that any virus that was attacking Bulwark and also Limbo at this time, he said, it has also made the M.I.N.D Limbo mutate into even more terrifying creatures, not just uncontrollable Limbo humans. The help of Bastion and Tenebrion did give him a little space to keep moving as long as it held off the mutated M.I.N.D Limbo, the former, but that still doesn't change the fact that their numbers seem limitless right now.
“Slow, but strong....... It's definitely your goddamn new power, isn't it !!?” muttered Vierra again, putting up her horses and staring intently towards the front.
Vierra stuffed her sword into her scabbard, leaned her body forward, and moments later, disappeared in speed without any notice at all. Thousands of slashes instantly destroyed the bodies of the Limbo M.I.N.D who did not know the same what happened actually. They just disappeared like never before. Bastion was astonished to see what Vierra could do with his two swords, but in such chaotic moments as this, there was never a single second to be amazed at someone. Only a few seconds passed, and a blue light had penetrated the head of one of the Limbo M.I.N.D that Bastion had never known before was on his left.
“She's my girl, asshole !!” gamma exclaimed, from the top of the Limbo energy ring so high, so far from the floor.
Bastion barely even turned his head towards him at all. He just gave his thumbs up, then continued to withstand the next M.I.N.D Limbo attack. Gamma screeched dejectedly, and after that shot back at the M.I.N.D Limbo that had emerged from the ceiling.
They were extremely strong when fighting together, like an almighty god.
But that never changes the fact that they are still limited creatures of the earth........
...****************...
The Limbo Room was still filled with warfare only. Bullets flew in various directions, and loud roars were all over the room. It's been over 35 minutes now. Almost an hour now. The attacks of the Limbo M.I.N.D did not stop either. They were forced to retreat, but their mission to protect the two men did not allow them to do so. Nero was still holding off the Limbo M.I.N.D who constantly barged into the room, while the others went to the back of the Limbo room to protect the wounded. At first, some of the wounded surrendered themselves to fight with Nero, but he refused their help.
A large number, it would be useless if all of them could not fight. It is better for one old man to die here than for thousands of young people and also for the future of man.
That is what he said as he walked away from the threshold of the back door of the Limbo room. Vierra could only see his father's back without doing anything but waiting for the end of the war hidden deep in the darkness. While Vierra and the others await the end of a war that may never come, one of the oldest among them is holding thousands of humans from Limbo who are not even alive or dead. From the outside, it can still be heard clearly the sound of a series of Nero explosions. While he helped to treat the wounds of the Militus and the mortally wounded mechanoid, Vierra also hoped in her heart that she could still hear the explosion from her father even longer.
I hope he doesn't die just for protecting those two fuckers.
That is what he said in his heart. At first there was still a hint of hope blazing in his heart, but it was all extinguished for a moment when all the lights that were still trying to survive to emit the light were now replaced with bright red flames and also deafening alarm sounds. Among the Militus and the mechanoids lying on that floor, stood a woman who was dressed most conspicuously among the others. Vierra already knew who it was, and also the bad news brought along with her if she stood up instantly with such a sweet face.
“The solution is already at each end of Bulwark, and there is one Prophet coming into this room !!”
With just a single sentence from Maria alone, all of the Militus and the mechanoid in the back room panicked instantly. Vierra turned towards Gamma and Mox Luna who were on her left, holding one of her swords tightly. They wanted to help him once more, but what Nero said at the time was no ordinary refusal. That, is an order.
“The two people....... They really did aja in dalem there, anyway ?!” vierra mumble.
“Everything will be back to normal again, Vierra. Quiet aja....”.
“That's impossible if we just diem here aja, stupid !!”
No matter who told him that, Vierra would still yell at the person, even if the person was her own boyfriend. They have to do something. There is no way that they will remain in the back room while the last hope of mankind will soon be shattered at the hands of the false prophets who have threatened them all along. Why are people so weak ? Is it because, they are not together at the moment ??
Explosions are still going on, as if they will never stop. Nero was still shooting at the thousands of Limbo M.I.N.D who were attacking him as well as the two mechanoids connected into the Limbo, as well as a giant Prophet with a red radiant sword in his right hand.
“Prophets....... Said the WGARR there were two of them though.....” murmured Nero.
After pausing for a moment, Nero fired again, aiming his entire rocket at the giant Prophet in front of him. A series of explosions instantly destroyed all of the surrounding Limbo M.I.N.D, but not the Prophet. His black robe was badly damaged by the explosion, but his body was fine. A person, in his ornate red hologram form, protected him with an indestructible shield. The hologram man smiled contemptuously, then gave the middle finger to Nero as his welcome.
“Damn it, what the fuck are you guys actually ??” muttered Nero, directing both his hands towards the two Prophets back.
While he was walking backwards away from the two Prophets who approached him, Nero fired at them nonstop with a barrage of his explosive rockets. No injuries were sustained by the two Prophets, and not a single explosion could stop them when they had become one.
“It's all for naught, man. You cannot stop the will of the red star!!” exclaim the giant Prophet.
“Fuck with your stupid god, Prophet bastard !!“
Nihilism began to get annoyed, instantly running and swinging his sword right towards Nero's chest instantly. At that moment, Nero was thrown backwards into the main Limbo engine, almost dropping the body without consciousness Silvia and Exceels who were there. Nero could feel that his body was starting to weaken, and bleed. Bloods. A liquid where the moment it came out of the human body, an unavoidable death was sure to pick that person up soon. There is no hope anymore. It was time for him to give up the last hope of mankind, to those who, when they were together, were like gods.
With the rest of his strength, Nero grabbed the comms he had in his right ear, then spoke, saying something to those hiding from the invincible. Which cannot be destroyed.
“Vierra......... You're all......... The fucking Prophets......... They merge into one !!”
“It won't help you at all, man.” said Nihilism, slowly starting to lift his sword of light.
“Indeed I'm not the one who survived from here........ But they....... Those who will destroy your goddamn indestructible shield, Prophet bastard !!”
“Amigo, just kill that person, all along with these two people who are trying to stop the 'her' awakening....”.
“It's true. The resurrection of the 'nya', must not be stopped by lowly beings like you. He is the real savior. ”
Nero grieves resentfully, but he is unable to protect Silvia and the Exceels' bodies any more. He already knows very well about it, and he will not try to force himself to cross the line like the superhero films that were famous in the golden era. Nero closed his eyes, leaving his death entirely to the giant prophet holding the sword, and the other Prophet in the holographic form behind the back of the giant Prophet.
Even if he died, he knew that he would not alone set foot on his final destination as a weak, helpless man. In the darkness as he closed his eyes, he was so sure that those hiding in the back room would soon be reunited, together come forward to snatch what was taken from them. Even if he was given a little more time, he would not try to fight back. He will keep his eyes closed. He will listen to the sound of the footsteps of those who run while shouting as loud as they can, even until their voices are exhausted. The footsteps, the cries of war, and those who ran together stormed the 'impossible' in front of them, it was proof that the flames of their determination had still not been extinguished even when they were already very cornered though. All of that, is proof that humans, will still fight for their only remaining last home in this vast universe.
Now, it was time for the old man to leave, taken by the god from between his two sons. It is time for the two young people to separate, reunite, do what they have always done together, and prove that no matter how weak they were originally created, they were still able to surpass the 'god'.
All of this, is a testament to the strength of those humans as they......
Together !!
...****************...
“You heard that ? What did my father say ??They merge into one.”
“Sial....... Killing one Prophet is impossible, let alone two Prophets who become one....”.
Vierra was standing inside the back room of Limbo, among the many Militus and Mechanoids who were lying weak due to severe injuries on their various bodies. Only Vierra and Maria stood inside the narrow room, while the wounded whispered to each other with their hopeless faces. The faint, disgusting sight made Vierra grit her teeth and clench her hands very tightly, almost like it was going to smash the handle of her own sword.
“Everything, Bulwark started moving by itself !! Currently, we have already deviated as far as 35,050° from the main anchor position, heading directly towards Mars !!” said Maria who did not stop observing new things that appeared on her hologram screen, worsening the atmosphere.
The room became silent for a moment. Very few of them began to calculate the time, the distance between Bulwark and the red planet at this time. Totally disgusting. Really do....... Depressing.
“That's. You are indeed nothing but a coward with a weapon turned out....” muttered Vierra, looking down in disappointment.
All eyes, both Millitus and the mechanoid, were instantly fixed in only one direction. Just to, the 20-year-old girl with long red hair, named Vierra. Some of them were annoyed when referred to as cowardly girls in their 20s who were even much younger than them, yet it all disappeared instantly when they finally realized, what Vierra said has a point.
“You forgot, what exactly are we doing in the space city floating in the middle of this void !!? Did you forget, the first time you entered as soldiers in this floating city !!? Your oath that says that we, live only to fight and protect others, where do you throw all that away, you bastards !!? We're not in Bulwark for a walk in Elysium or a drink in the cafeteria, you idiot !! We are here as Militus and mechanoid, there is now to fight for the future of humanity !! You guys finally remember that vow finally !!? We're not mice hiding under tables, but the cat chasing him relentlessly, you fool !! If you really call yourself a hero, then fight everyone who threatens this entire spaceship like there is no tomorrow, damn it !! I'll go ahead and save my father out there, after that my girlfriend, Gamma, the mechanic from Myriad Angel who just happens to start sticking near me, and after that, after that, all the rest of them were always entrusted by that jerk old general into this mission from behind me !! I don't care what you're all going to do in here as long as me and these guys are fighting that mutated fucking Prophet, but at least, me and all of them will not die with silence alone, bastard !!”
After a moment of silence, Gamma aimed at the door from the back room of the Limbo with his sniper rifle, which was right next to Vierra. Some of those who were not injured were too severe, eventually starting to stand up, readying their weaponry. With just one voice from that one person alone, it had managed to make some of those who were initially frightened willing to go along against the destroyer who was out there together with them. Like two brothers who have been united only by one person, they eventually return to what their previous existence means, and also actually.
More and more Militus and mechanoids began to stand up to once again, including Echo and also Amelia. After a while, when the number of those who had bounced back was enough, Gamma pulled the trigger from his sniper rifle, blowing up the door instantly. Vierra, and all of those who ended up fighting together with them, ended up facing in the same direction. They all shouted, releasing their long-extinguishing fire from the darkness itself. They ran. Their footsteps echoed loudly throughout the Limbo, and their war cries spread to the very depths of their enemies' eardrums.
“Serang !! Attack that bastard fake pig!!” shout them, together.
Nihilism turned to the Militus who ran towards him like a madman who had no desire to live anymore. He pointed towards them, and it was then that thousands of Limbo M.I.N.D appeared suddenly, out of nowhere, charging towards them as well. The roar of war boomed at that very instant. Thousands of bullets flew in different directions, and from many directions, as in the early days when many of them were unharmed. Like when the flames of their determination were still blazing like a terrifying wild fire, one that could burn everything. Every bullet that floated in the room, even though there were so many, but it was not an original shot. Everything is coordinated so precisely, so quickly, bulldozing everything that tries to attack them, say touch them too can not.
The Limbo M.I.N.D is just like dust grains floating in the air, which are pierced just as they pass by humans every day. Seeing all that foolishness, Nihilism became annoyed. He ran. He raised his radiant sword with his giant right hand. Supposedly, it was the most terrifying sight in their eyes of mortal humans. But now, it's no longer the same. No, when they fight together, against the same enemy.
“Seek away, you fucking false prophet base !!”
All of a sudden, a man landed from above along with his sword which was emitting a bright blue light, blasting out the entire Limbo M.I.N.D that was originally there filled the room.
Bastion, you are a mechanoid tank. Your sword can fend off any attack, can't it ? Use those. Protect the Militus who are shooting madmen from another world, and at the same time, use that giant iron to destroy the false prophet.
“This is not a giant iron doang, tau !! His name is Buddy !! Great Buddy !!”
Whatever. It sounds like a super-explosive being lost on another planet full of water, who names his own weapon with a strange name.
Sigh.......
“Who are you talking to, lowly man !!?” tanya Nihilism, who was running towards Bastion once again after her steps had been stopped by an explosion from her.
“It's secret....... Stupid !!” bastion exclaimed as he swung his giant sword with all his strength.
The two swords collided with each other, exploding with every force that controlled them. The blue and red lights fight each other, like the old story when two different gods were hostile for thousands of years. One is meat, and the other is machinery. Nihilism and Bastion were made to be almost thrown backwards by a force they could not control, yet that alone would not stop the two of them from attacking each other again. One time, two times. Each swing, and each collision of the two giant swords, blasted the two backwards, but they still did not want to finish here.the two smashed their respective swords, respectively, and for the umpteenth time, they were pushed once again backwards by the burst of power of the two swords. Only, Bastion this time twisting his giant sword as he retreated backwards, successfully slashing 'something' which at first, Nihilism thought that it was impossible to penetrate, moreover, to be destroyed by the power of a mortal man.
“Flambeau, what the fuck is this !? Why is the shield from your IMP actually weakened, clown !!?”
“Gran chico, they seem to have managed to do 'something' in 'in' there....” Flambeau whispered to Nihilism while pointing towards the looming Limbo machine in the middle of the room.
Limbo should not emit such a dim blue light when in an IMP infection. It should have been emitting a red light. Of course, the two people who entered the virtual machine have managed to defeat their new savior.
“Backs !! How dare you reject from our enlightenment, our absolute salvation, lowly humans!!”
“Casual first, gran chico. You're messing up here, you know !!” whispered Flambeau once again.
“Bro new, I don't know why they are, but........ It's time for you to go to the stage, like...” Bastion said through comms in his ear.
“Heh, from mihi.”
Tenebrion, you are the fastest attacker here. You will never be caught by Goliath and his shield bearer. Attack in the moment when they can't control the blast from the Bastion sword. That would make things 'double the trouble' for them.
“Ye.”
A man glides on a frozen floor as if he were skiing on eternal snow. Wordlessly, and without the slightest warning, the man spun with both ice swords in his hand as he skated past the tall body of Nihilism, leaving a neat slash around his chest. Nihilism slightly jerked back even further due to Tenebrion's surprise attack just now. He turned his head to the left, and the first thing he saw, was Tenebrion who had jumped high with the help of his speed of movement, then kicked an ice crystal ball that instantly exploded and froze both Nihilism legs.
“Luna !!”
Right after Tenebrion shouted his name, a miniature black hole instantly appeared behind Nihilism, pulling and holding both his hands with a strong pull from the black hole's gravity.
Mox Luna, you are the single most powerful support type here. Wear your black hole when Tenebrion has frozen both legs, so that the two bastards who joined so that one can not use the power of his entire body and free themselves from the ice clot.
“Very well, lady Maria !!” mox Luna answered very seriously.
“Should have been, they weren't this hard to beat, clown !!? Someone is controlling them like !!”
“And I know where the person who controls them is, gran chico.”
After a moment of whispering from Flambeau, Nihilism turned to the direction he was told. That's where, near the back room door of Limbo, is, a woman dressed most strikingly in purple and a fedora hat on her head was seen speaking to all of Militus and the mechanoid through her comms on a very wide hologram screen, too wide to be said as ordinary comms. Nihilism growled, gritted his teeth, and unleashed all of his strength to escape the powerful pull of the Mox Luna black hole that was behind him. He had turned his right hand into a long rifle, but everything disappeared instantly and was devoured by the black hole. Now, only his left hand remained, and also the body of the Flambeau hologram stuck to his back.
“Flambeau, shoot that human to death !!!”
“Bueno.”
With her intangible right hand, Flambeau directed her shotgun at the woman, then fired a powerful explosive bullet, nihilism can feel its recoil when it cannot move by the pull of the black hole behind it. The bullet shot through the air very quickly, only to be stopped by Amelia's sword, and was met with fire from Echo as well as Gamma.
“Feel this, damn !!” shout the two in a loud voice.
Two bullets shot out, turning to Nihilism and Flambeau who had never seen the three around her. The Gamma ice bullet pierced through the part where a human heart was supposed to be, while the Echo fire bullet pierced through the jaw of his skull Nihilism, leaving it cracking instantly.
“Heh, your goal is good too, beginner.” Gamma said.
“You too, the most senior.” reply Echo.
Nihilism's head was made to turn to the left side due to the strong thrust of the fire bullet, making him unaware that a teenage girl in her 20s, was, it had jumped from its blind spot of sight and with its two swords that had merged into a long spear.
“The one you killed that, was my father, the bastard !!”
A nihilism that cannot move completely can only turn its head toward the source of the sound, only to get another attack hitting its left jaw.
“Aw, it must be painful, gran chico.”
“Be quiet, clown !!”
At that very moment, Nihilism became a punching bag for Vierra and Tenebrion, getting thousands of slashes on various parts of his body. Their final attack should have been extremely painful and also deadly, as Vierra and Tenebrion darted from back to front, leaving dozens of slashes at Nihilism's large neck. But he was still breathing. He is alive, like an invincible god.
“Still want to get my 'sword' again, huh !!?” vierra asked in anger, turning to Nihilism as she began to swing her spear at full force.
“Flambeau !!”
Hearing his name being mentioned once again, Flambeau pulled a chain sword from his hologram body, swung it rapidly and nearly slashed at Vierra and Tenebrion's heads in one strike. Only, it never happened, when the real destroyer, came and took over the entire spotlight they had before. An unexpected blow from the destroyer, which shot from the left of Nihilism, instantly shattered his jaw. The blow was so powerful, that the black hole Mox Luna was made to disappear instantly because of it. The man eventually stopped not far from Nihilism, which had lost its lower jaw, leaving some overclocked marks on his right arm that let out faint blue beams of light. Everyone knows himself to be the first to set his feet in another world called Arthurian, and the first to begin the whole of Bulwark's colonization of that alien land.
“Incurso !!!?” exclaimed the entire mechanoid, not believing what they were seeing right now.
An unexpected arrival, yet also one that was highly expected by all of them. The Militus and the mechanoids were still lacking in numbers to cope with the current relentless incursion of the Limbo M.I.N.D, but from when did the massive fight feel more of a draw than the previous one. Bastion who was still preoccupied with the attacks of the Limbo M.I.N.D was the first to realize it, followed by Maria, then the three mechanoids that guard around her.
“Uhh, Incurso-san........ You bring help at this time ?? Why does it feel like our people are so unlimited in numbers like 'them' ??” bastion asked while he was still swinging his giant sword, slashing through dozens of endless M.I.N.D Limbo.
“People in that hideout are forcing. Not my fault either.” Incurso replied casually.
Vierra stared intently at Incurso's face, not believing what he had just said.
“You use ordinary people Bulwark as help !!?”
“It was their wish as a human, boy. They can also be for the size of an ordinary person.”
Human desire. That was what made ordinary people, the entire citizens of the Bulwark forced him to take them to the bloody battle in the room. All the people who were in that hiding place, only wanted one thing in common. Freed from the fear of 'they' ruling their only last house, also stopped all the loss caused by 'them. Indeed it sounded impossible for ordinary people like them to survive a fight that even the Militus and the mechanoids could barely survive from, but they all knew. People who had never fought on the battlefield really knew, that when they fought together, they would become strong. Very powerful, until they finally made it through a disaster that almost destroyed their long history of life once again.
“Let me kill these two assholes. The rest, you clean up. After his jaw is destroyed, his head will be next.”
“Revenge Nero as well, colonizer.” said Vierra, looking at him expectantly.
Incurso pensively heard that from Vierra, then turned his head towards the towering Limbo engine, which they had still protected until this point. There, two mechanoids, male and female, were sitting motionless with many wires connected to their bodies, and another, an old man, was seen, lying stiff on the floor between the two men. In a moment, the memories of him being a disciple under the old man's teachings, flowed like water in the rivers that flooded his mind. After losing Scire, parting ways with his only brother, he was appointed as a disciple of a general famous for his 40-year history of working as a Militus in Bulwark. Together with the man, he had 'destroyed' various threats that had been scaring mankind all along. Various anomalies, he had defeated along with him. Various rebels, he had defeated along with the old man. When he was with her, he felt invincible. He felt that he could destroy anything that threatened humanity, like a god capable of doing everything with just a flick of his finger. Together, he and the old man, have seen the wars and efforts of mankind in vain against the destiny of the universe and the universe, who had decided that their world would soon be destroyed soon. But together, they refuse to accept that fact, making them humans must be separated, experiencing various losses and also death. Together, they once laughed, they once laughed, contemplated the great men who sacrificed themselves, and gazed upon the sky of the earth which was at first, bright blue in color. They are not gods, in fact. But together, an unknown force appears, possessing their bodies and telling them that someday, they will be able to return the dark sky to blue again, as in the beginning. The two men separated by a distant age once believed that when humans are together, the earth will be able to return to its original, beautiful as when humans were first created into the world.
“Yeah, that's for sure.”
Incurso turned around, facing towards the two Prophets that merged into one in front of him and staring at them intently. A moment, a single tear welled up on his petal, but a second later, it turned into a pure raging. From a distance, Nihilism roared loudly, while Flambeau was flailing his chain sword like a whip to the floor. It is just cheap intimidation, Incurso said in his heart. His right arm was emitting a blue light. He moved his right leg away from his left, leaning his body forward. Up ahead, was a god who called himself invincible and unrivalled, while in the entire room, it was, it is those humans who fight it out just to fight for their only home in this corner of the world. They are humans, who fight together to defeat a god damn who does what he wants, just for the sake of entertainment in both of his senses.
“Nero, why do you want to fight desperately just for this world ?? Aren't you old??”
“I just want the best for Vierra, my son, boy. If I die one day, keep that bastard all right. His emotions were never controlled, and his strength was also insane like his mother too. Me, just want that....”.
On the grassland that was supposed to be green and bright, Incurso turned towards Nero who was to his right. He too, wanted the best for his only brother, who had once been united by an old man like him who was beside him at the moment. Are all humans actually connected to each other ? Thought so.
“Nero, you want to stay home, on earth again ?? I really want to, actually. But, it's all gone to dust now.
“I did too, boy. It's hard to believe, but everyone actually has one wish that's always the same. You know that, young boy ??”
“Same as no. Tell me what it really is, Nero. That human wish you said was always the same.”
“We, the human beings, always want something that is impossible to happen.”
Nihilism ran like mad, in a hurry, so quick to avenge his lower jaw that it had been lost by Incurso's last blow. Incurso just gritted his teeth. Just because the creature had lost its jaw, it was already furious and wanted revenge. So, what about everyone they've killed before ?? Is it human, can't it be revenge too ??
“This punch, is for Nero..... BASTARD !!”
Incurso. With a push from his left foot, he leapt high blocking towards Nihilism even to the point of exceeding the height of the giant Prophet's body itself. In his eyes, that fist had covered the entire face of that disgusting looking Nihilism. It was then that he firmly believed that it was time for the weak man to destroy the indestructible, and experience what was impossible. A freedom, where there will never again be death, and also loss.
He was indeed alone against the two Prophets who joined into that one at the moment, but if one looked even deeper into his facial expression, that was where they would all know, that on his back, that, it was the hands of those who had been with him in the past, who were lost, swallowed up by the cruelty of the god. The hands, which united all their previous strength with his current hands, to destroy what was impossible to destroy.
They, together, unite their hands and desires.........
To achieve what is impossible to happen.

"Vita !!”
The sky, the ground, and everything was red. No glimmer of light of any kind could pierce through the dark red sky in that virtual world. From a distance, Silvia could clearly see Vita hanging on a giant black wall with the Bulwark symbol in the center. Not hung, but stabbed until finally the weak woman's body was firmly attached to the surface of the wall. There was not a single part of his body that did not give off the thick black liquid that replaced his blood. Vita, never ceasing to groan in pain, pleaded with whoever was up or down there, to stop all his suffering on the wall. Seeing that, it made Silvia will slash whoever did it with her latest sword of darkness.
“Hold there, Vita !!”
Silvia ran hard to get to the wall that soared up into the sky. It was already impossible for him to be able to climb such a high wall without a surface to climb even a bit, but somehow, he had to save that innocent innocent innocent girl, who has always been his friend all this time. Thousands of Limbo M.I.N.D instantly appeared from within a puddle of thick black liquid, roaring loudly and forming a living wall to block his path.
“Cih, very nice vows !!”
Silvia expended the power she had gained from absorbing Trux's previous Star Net grant. The pulse on his right arm began to emit a red-colored light, and his sword was instantly enveloped by a cold, pitch-black shadow, but it was also extremely hot at the same time. Silvia runs, against the current of Limbo's 'living wall' M.I.N.D which attempts to prevent her from reaching Vita by crowding it. At once, Silvia was no longer visible in Vita's sight. Vita called out her name many times, only to listen to the roars of the Limbo who were eating her friend alive. There was no sign of Silvia at all after that, not even a hint.
That is what man will experience, when trying to resist the will of the gods.
“Stop....... That's.......... Silvia, innocent, you know !! Akkh !!”
The black thorns that pierced his body became increasingly sharp, the deeper it penetrated his flesh. Vita groaned in even more pain. The longer it is penetrated by the black thorns, the more black liquid appears on the surface of the Limbo soil, and more M.I.N.D Limbo emerge from it. Even when the situation was clear before his eyes, Vita was still hopeful. He hoped to see his friend again. Only once.
And that's what humans get, when they receive our power the gods.
“What do you mean ??”
Suddenly, a black colored light penetrated out from within the crowd of Limbo M.I.N.D piling up on Silvia all this time. The black light shot up high, before finally turning into a huge explosion that destroyed everything in a single sweep, even the puddle of the black liquid did not survive the explosion. The humanoid woman who floated to the left of Vita smiled faintly, it then swooped sharply to the ground and landed there with a huge explosion that threw dust in all directions covering its entire body for a few moments. Very surprising to Vita, when he found that Silvia was not hurt in the slightest from the attack of artificial M.I.N.D Limbo creatures like that, but at least, at least, he finally saw a glimmer of hope once again in the determined eyes of his best friend, always the same as usual.
“You- !!?”
Surprised ?? I told you back then, if I evolved much faster than you, creatures that even evolved from a butt hole earlier than your head. So, let me introduce myself once more.
“Sialan.....” Silvia muttered when she finally found out who the humanoid woman before her was.
Name, Trux. He will bring you salvation, a lost soul.
Give up, monkeys. I am something that you cannot break, or even drop.
