The Artificial God

Rivalries

That night we continued to tell stories, and chatted coolly in the middle of the bonfire, and the full moon illuminated the night of the world. With a soothing stream of river water, and lush trees. This resting place also seemed to be safe from those annoying bandits.

"Hey... have you ever heard of a ghost who cuts off someone else's neck?" tygruth said that when it was his turn to tell stories, he always told us about something creepy, and made us afraid.

"Ti-no" said the three of us simultaneously, who listened to Tygruth's story with serious gazes, and a racing heart.

"If one night you hear the sound of iron being honed, then you must run as fast as possible.or you, will be slaughtered by it" said Tygruth, who scares us with his horror stories.

"Haha! nonsense, for what ghost is sharpening iron near its target. If he wants to cut his target's neck he should do it secretly" said I who tried to appear bold, and cool in front of everyone.

"Hey.. are you.." said Tygruth, who suddenly stopped after hearing something from behind the three of us who were listening to Tygruth's story. The spring! the sring! the voice sounded like an iron being honed.

Then we all got goosebumps because that bullshit Tygruth story came true. We gathered, and hid behind Tygruth's body with a body that trembled in fear. The iron voice was getting closer, and we could see a shadowy figure approaching us.

"Who-who's that!?" I said that I closed my eyes in fear.

"Yahoooo! I don't want to die!" elysna shouted while hugging me.

"Huhoo! mama! i'm scared!" said Boa Boa who cried, and peed because she was so afraid.

"Groooooooo!" said the black shadow that appeared in front of us, and made us cry out in fear. But it turned out to be just a mound of earth in the shape of a human, holding a sword, and a rough stone, and it was my sword. But we finally know who is behind it all.

"I... go first?" said Tygruth who went straight into the ground because he did not want to be beaten by us.

"Fuck you Tygruth! Fire Balls!" my words that blasted the ground with a fireball that burst.

"Moonlight up!" said Elysna who was in moon transformation mode, and held a sharp spear. Then the enraged Elysna dug the ground beneath her to chase Tygruth with her spear. While Boa Boa, unaware that this was Tygruth's doing, still closed her eyes, and muttered in fear.

"In-dia... pee!?" I said in shock to see Boa Boa pants wet with semen.

"Fuck you Tygruth! I'll fucking beat you up!" said Elysna who heard from me that Boa Boa peed in her pants because she heard, and was bullied by Tygruth.

"N-no! that creepy woman started chasing me fast.. kyaaaaaaaa!" said the frightened Tygruth as soon as Elysna caught up with him who was running away very quickly.

"Haha! you're gonna die in my hands, Tygruth!" elysna said that made Tygruth scared, she saw Elysna like a creepy monster that made her face pale with fear.

After that Tygruth was severely beaten by me, and Boa Boa. Again Boa Boa did not want to punish her lover after what her lover did to her. Totally according to his kind of people, he was indeed really angel-hearted. He pityed Tygruth, and forgave him for granted, and instead assumed everything that had happened had never happened.

Me, and Elysna were really annoyed to see the kindness of Boa Boa who did not take part to beat up Tygruth. His cynical smiling face behind Boa Boa to us made us very upset at him.

Then finally the morning we were waiting for arrived. A sunny morning, with cool air made our trip a pleasant atmosphere. But when we wanted to get ready to continue our journey that went somewhere to explore the world, suddenly the bandits who had been beaten by Boa Boa, Boa, and Elysna came to our resting place in the morning.

"We-we didn't want to look for any more noise. We-we just want to go along with your journey until you find a village. We hear from the bandits who have repented because you defeated, you will bring the bandits to a village, and live a good life" said the bandit boss with his attitude that changed drastically to be very polite.

"Ah.pardon my misunderstanding, I guess you guys will be looking for trouble again with us. But fine then, you can come with us" said I who greeted them well.

"Thank you, from now on we promise not to do any more dirty deeds, and once we get to the destination village, we will keep the village as a form to atone for the sins we have committed" said the bandit boss, bowing his head to us, and at the same time his men followed his boss's treatment.

"What are you waiting for, we're leaving soon. Let's go!" said Tygruth, who used a sand dune to fly through the air, and took us on our way.

"Well!? it is only fitting that you can defeat the bandits sent to kill you. Turns out you guys are monsters" said the bandit boss who intended to praise us. The bandit boss was amazed by the power displayed by Tygruth. The boss, and his men look happy to see the world from above, because the view of the world will be more beautiful if seen from a high place.

Somehow I became irritated after seeing the bandits praising Tygruth's strength. It made me want to show my greatness to the bandit, "Just like that is nothing...do you want to see something special?" my words were glancing towards Tygruth who was intending to challenge him.

"Huh!? this kid seems to be intending to challenge me. All right then!" tygruth said inwardly while smiling with a grin.

"really! we are very honored if you show your extraordinary strength" said the bandit boss with his sparkling gaze. All his men were the same, boss, and the men turned out to make no difference.

"haha! lookatthis!... Fire Ball's... Electric shock!" I said the fireball in my left hand, and the electricity in my right hand at the same time. The bandit was amazed by me, his gaze made me feel ashamed. They cheered me up, and gave a loud applause.

"Hey... do you want to see my power?" said Tygruth who glanced at me with a haughty face.

"Yes! show us the power of your strength!" said the bandit boss who suddenly became excited.

"All right! it's time to watch the earthquake accompanied by hurricanes, and thunderstorms with very heavy rain!" tygruth shouted as the earth shook violently with a huge typhoon crushing the ground below. Then followed by a lightning storm that struck madly along with very heavy rain.

I was so shocked to see it, and at the same time irritated, "Hey I can do that too! I will show you again my greatest strength" I said, pointing my strength at them.

"I can also be crazier than this! behold, and behold the true distress!" tygruth shouted in the middle of the thunderstorm.

"Based on a child" said Elysna, who sighed at the behavior of our competing powers as a child.

"Really! when will they grow up" Boa Boa's connection.

"I don't think they make any difference to you, I'm tired of living with three kids like this" Elysna murmured.

But actually the bandits will betray us until they find the right moment. But after they saw the horrors of the strength we showed, they were deeply shocked, and lost their pride as a bandit. As a result they give up on what they plan to do, and will do well as he said before.

"Boss! did you see him? looks like we have to repent rather than die at their hands" said the bandit boss with special powers of long-distance communication, and shared his vision with his big boss who was the leader of all the bandits scattered around the world.

"-you're right! from now on we disband our organization" said his boss who felt shock to the bone. Such was the end of the fate of the bandits who existed, eventually they all repented, and disbanded the dirty organization to live a clean life.
