Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Though the teleportation nexus of each planet was linked to every other planet and satellite, reaching your destination was easier said than done. Without the ability to obtain information across vast distances, the only way to know which Community owned a specific planet was to encounter the forces stationed planetside. To make matters worse, the only way to teleport to a different planet was to capture one of several relay stations located on the surface, so, the moment they found themselves facing a horde of monkey-like creatures, a cold sweat developed across the bodies of the members of the Araki Community as they began fighting their way towards one of the relays.Unfortunately, Wu wasn't a particularly forgiving individual, so, shortly after Johnathan and his comrades began mowing down her forces, a version of the petite monkey girl burst through the foundation of her own planet in order to bar their passage. This caused the spectators to go wild, as, ever since the publishing of Journey to the West, very few people had been given the chance to witness the legendary 'Monkey King' in action.Sweeping her trusty Ruyi Jingu Bang in a manner that forced the invading members of the Araki Community backward, a mischievous grin developed across the face of Wu as she proclaimed, "You invade this Great Me's territory, bully my subordinates, and then attempt to flee? Courting death...!"Without waiting for the group's response, Wu extended the length of her Ruyi Jingu Bang as she swept it towards Johnathan's head at a speed that left behind a tangible afterimage. This caused the inordinately muscular man's body to tense, but, instead of trying to evade, he raised his left arm as if to intercept the unfathomably fast staff.To the surprise of absolutely no one, Wu's Ruyi Jingu Bang broke through Johnathan's guard and sent him flying towards the upper atmosphere like a rocket propelling into space. In the very next moment, however, the very same man appeared in Wu's location, a stern expression on his face as he looked towards his companions and said, "We need to hurry. I don't-"Before Johnathan could finish speaking, a bared foot rose between his legs, clearing aiming for his family jewels. The complexion of Johnathan's face immediately paled, as, despite an illusory purple aura intercepting Wu's attack, a powerful shockwave passed through his body with enough force to spike up his previously, neatly combed hair.Retracting her foot, Wu leaped backward several tens of meters in an instant, Ruyi Jing Bang resting on her shoulder as she teased, "That's a pretty nifty ability. Swapping positions with someone else? Not bad at all."Feeling weak in the knees, Johnathan used the intensifying purple aura to support his body as he glared towards Wu and said, "We didn't participate in this Gift Game to oppose you, Venerable Wu Kong. Our target is located within the Akuma Community. They have taken someone very important to me. Please allow us to pass..."Understanding the improbability of defeating Wu in a contest of martial prowess, Johnathan made the decision to try and talk his way out of the situation. He wasn't lying when he said the members of Akuma had taken someone important to him, so, banking on Wu's ability to ascertain truth from lies, he decided to be honest.Hearing Johnathan's words, a slight frown marred Wu's face. A few months ago, she wouldn't even humor such a request. Her time with Vahn had affected her way of thinking, so, after a moment of silence, she asked, "Is the person in question a woman...?"Nodding his head in affirmation, Johnathan explained, "The members of Akuma really are devils. They go around collecting women who suit their preferences, regardless of whether or not they are married or in a relationship. The man I'm after is named Yamamoto Kazuya. He specifically targets pregnant and married women to add to his collection. Please do not stand in my way of bringing him to justice."Seeing the rage and conviction contained within Johnathan's eyes, Wu couldn't help scrunching up her nose in disgust. Not towards Johnathan but the man named Yamamoto Kazuya. She, honestly, didn't really care about what people got up to on their own time, but, now that she knew about his crimes, she couldn't simply ignore them. She might be a tyrant but she wasn't without a conscience.Unfortunately for Johnathan, Wu wasn't known for letting her enemies simply walk away. Johnathan may have had a good reason for doing so but the members of his Community had injured and even eliminated many of her subordinates from the Gift Game. As the King of Mount Huaguo, she owed it to them to seek revenge, so, after a moment of deliberation, she said, "Sorry, kid, but I can't allow you to pass unobstructed. Besides, can you even defeat this Kazuya fellow? If so, you wouldn't have waited until this Gift Game to take action."Hoping that Wu would see reason, Johnathan's expression became even more determined as he explained, "You're right. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for me to defeat a monster like Yamamoto Kazuya. However, with tens of billions of people actively observing the Gift Game, I'm confident I can garner enough support to come out ahead. The behavior of Akuma has gone unchecked for too long. Though I'm standing here for personal reasons, I'm also acting in the interest of the countless people they have harmed. Now, please, step aside...!"Exhaling a sigh, Wu swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang from her shoulder before shaking her head in mild exasperation and saying, "Poor choice of words, brat..."Had Johnathan and his allies immediately dropped to their hands and knees, Wu may have allowed them to pass. The correct way to deal with her was to completely set aside your desire to fight. She may be a bit of a tyrant, but, unless they had seriously offended her, she wouldn't go out of her way to beat and bloody people who had never wronged her. By standing his ground and expecting her to stand aside just because he believed his cause was just, Johnathan had effectively compelled Wu to stay her ground.As she was under no obligation to explain such things, Wu responded to Johnathan's confusion by sweeping the Ruyi Jingu Bang towards him. At the same time, several hairs from her head, ears, and tail dislodged from her body as her position was, once again, swapped with Johnathan's. This time, however, he didn't even have time to open his mouth before several clones of Wu punched, kicked, and slapped him.Seeing his friend in dire straits, a remarkably buff and stone-faced teen wearing what appeared to be a modified Japanese gakuran charged forward, muttering, "Good grief..." while lowering the brim of his cap. A platinum-hued figure manifested behind his body, but, instead of remaining illusory, it soon took the shape of a buff, purple-skinned figure with a man of violet, dark-purple hair."Uoooooooooooh...!"Turning her head, the original Wu was about to bat the man aside when purple vines suddenly erupted from the void, entangling her body. This caused her expression to immediately darken as vines and tentacles were practically taboo when fighting against scantily clad women in the Divine Realm. Sure, the spectators may enjoy it quite a bit, but, unless they had some strange inclinations, employing tentacles was one of the easiest ways to offend female Players.Acting before the thorny tendrils could encroach upon the more sensitive parts of her body, Wu's body flashed with a golden light as she tore free from the purple-hued appendages and slammed her palm into the burly young man's face. The purple figure had tried to intercept her, but, now that she was thoroughly pissed off, Wu's movements bordered on causal manipulation. If she wanted to hit someone, there was very little they could do to stop it.........Observing the confrontation between Wu and the members of the Araki Community, Vahn couldn't help wincing when he saw the capped youth's face practically cave in. Wu had held back quite a bit, but, due to her anger, a literal palm imprint had been left in her opponent's face and skull as he was sent crashing into the face of a mountain more than six hundred kilometers away."I kind of feel bad for him...he wasn't even the one that employed the vines..."Though he couldn't actually see her, Vahn got the impression that Sis had just shrugged as she said, (*It's sort of their own fault for trying to use someone else's promotional Gift Game as a platform to carry out justice. I can understand their reasoning but it's simply foolish to think that others will just move out of their way in the middle of a competition...*)Nodding his head in agreement, Vahn briefly shifted his attention away from the conflict between Wu and the Araki Community. He was interested to see what kind of person Yamamoto Kazuya was, so, while Wu taught the inordinately burly Community a lesson, Vahn's intent shifted to a somewhat arrogant-looking young man with dark-blue hair, violet eyes, tanned skin, and cat-like features that included pointed ears, a sly smile, and a tail.Under normal circumstances, Vahn would have felt an almost instinctual urge to reach through the void and pat the man's head. This time, however, a frown marred his face as the man lounged atop a 'throne' formed from the linked bodies of multiple females. To make matters exponentially worse, two of the girls on their hands and knees were clearly in the latter stages of pregnancy."Yeah...no..."Though he had been content with sitting around and waiting for his opponents to show up, there was no way in hell Vahn was just going to ignore such brazen and disgusting behavior once he had become aware of it. Thus, before the blue-haired man even knew what was happening, Vahn took a deep breath before opening his eyes to reveal eerie a pair of eerie, bluish-white irises that seemed to flow towards the abyssal-black pupils in their centers.........Feeling a frigid, exceptionally sickening sensation spreading through his chest, Yamamoto Kazuya attempted to place his hand over his heart only to find something inordinately soft obstructing the action. When he looked down, confusion married his characteristically lazy and sadistic expression as his previously lean yet well-defined pectoral muscles had seemingly inflated, their shape taking on a 'very' familiar form...As the unbearably cold sensation spread through the rest of his body, the pupils of Kazuya's eyes contracted into fine slits as he practically pounced from his personalized 'throne'. This was the last willful action he was capable of performing, as, the moment his feet touched the ground, his knees immediately gave out due to an overwhelmingly oppressive feeling of weakness.Collapsing to the ground, Kazuya attempted to lift his head only to find the action impossible. It was like every single cell in his body had been replaced with a frigid form of lead. Other than stare blankly at the changes happening to his body, he was wholly incapable of moving. When he finally realized what was happening, a panic unlike anything he had ever experienced pervaded from the very core of his being as the world around him spontaneously took a very familiar form...Just as Kazuya's panic reached a level where it felt like his heart was literally going to burst out of his chest, an eerily familiar tone reached his ears as a hand tightened around his now long, blonde hair."You expect me to save your world when the only compensation you offer is the opportunity to return home? Do you think other people are your convenient tools just because you were born a Princess...?"Feeling pain spread through his scalp and neck, surprise, fear, and disbelief colored Kazuya's face as he found himself staring up at a past version of himself.........(A/N: My fever subsided yesterday afternoon but I decided to continue resting. On the plus side, I got to catch up on a few other novels I had been putting off. That Harry Potter one, HP: A Magical Journey, is actually pretty legit. There are a number of needless tangents but it's one of the better Harry Potter fics I've read. Either way, I'm back now xD.)https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Emerging in the center of a misty mountainous valley that glistened with a peculiar green hue due to the abundance of spiritual energy exuded by the surrounding flora, an amused smile developed across the face of a remarkably beautiful vulpine woman with pale, sakura-pink hair.Standing next to the woman, appearing near-identical except for their hairstyles and choice of garb, another vulpine woman remarked, "Where are we? The dense spiritual energy is interfering with my ability to sense beyond a few hundred kilometers."Turning towards her descendant turned ancestor, the smile on the vulpine woman's face became notably mischievous as she said, "We're actually quite fortunate. This mist serves to obscure the light of the Sun. As a result, even my senses are blocked. If this truly is the planet of our would-be Origin, she shouldn't be able to sense us. If I didn't know better, I would think our husband had a hand in this."Though she knew Vahn wouldn't interfere in such a 'small' matter, the sakura-haired woman felt their teleportation destination was more than mere coincidence. Fate seemed to be guiding them to meet with their Divine Realm counterpart, so, while a part of her feared the encounter, a much larger part of the woman's being was looking forward to securing her status and identity as "True Amaterasu".Hearing even a casual mention of Vahn, a radiant smile developed across the face of the secondary vulpine woman. She, Tamamo, took comfort in the notion that Vahn was watching over and out for them. It gave her an overwhelming sense of assurance, as, even if things went south, Tamamo knew Vahn would never allow them to suffer. If she called out for him, she believed, deep in her heart, he would come running.With her three tails flickering behind her, Tamamo looked like she was about to say something when one of the other two figures present, a rather heroic-looking woman with dichromatic black and white hair suggested, "We should set camp and gather information. Even if this is the planet of Kotoamatsukami, exposing ourselves and charging blindly into the enemy is not wise."Reacting to the dichromatic woman's words, a teasing smile developed across the face of the woman standing next to her, a buxom, pink-haired beauty wearing a red and blue bikini adorned with stars. She also didn't think charging into the enemy was a particularly wise decision, but, hearing it from the dichromatic beauty, she couldn't help remarking, "Seriously? I didn't expect the brave and noble Kenshin to fear charging through enemy lines. Even in our world, isn't that what you were best known for?"Sighing in response to her companion's words, the dichromatic woman, Kenshin, gripped her spear and katana tightly as she explained, "Such things are irrelevant in the present. Even my connection to Bishamonten doesn't exist so I'm using this as an opportunity to reinvent myself. I was previously able to become a Goddess of War through my own efforts. Now that we stand upon the precipice of the Aldrnari Empire's rise, I care not for the name Uesugi Kenshin. I am my Lord's spear...my only concern at this point is creating a world where children need not fear being shoehorned into a path chosen by someone else..."Recalling her own son, Kenshiro, a motherly smile developed across Kenshin's face. The former's desire to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship without killing had left a deep impression on her. There was nothing she could do about the millions she had already cut down, but, for the sake of her son, Kenshin had resolved herself never to kill again. The fates of her opponents now rested in the hands of her Lord, Master, and Husband.Rolling her eyes, the buxom, pink-haired woman, Musashi, made a show of popping her neck before saying, "You do you, Spear-chan. As for me? I'm going to scout the area and see if I can't find the woman holding on to my name and title. Don't worry. So long as I remain in the State of Nothingness, I doubt even that golden-haired vixen can detect me. If I'm not back before sunset, feel free to assume I'm dead."Waving her hand in a casual gesture of farewell, Musashi's body appeared to blend into the surrounding space before even the most minute traces of her existence vanished. This was a little contrary considering she had dressed up specifically to draw attention to herself, but, for the sake of her sister-wives and companions, Musashi didn't mind lying low for a while.Sensing every trace of Musashi vanish into thin air, a subdued sigh escaped from Kenshin's throat as she placed her hand between her fairly developed breasts. She was also wearing a swimsuit, but, rather than baring it all like a certain crimson-eyed Demon King, she elected to wear a comparably modest leather top to cover her breasts and a bright yellow sarong around her waist.Feeling the steady rhythm of her heart, Kenshin was able to gradually calm herself. She had become a lot more emotional since the birth of Kenshiro, so, every now and again, she would feel a creeping anxiety that could only be suppressed by the memory or presence of Vahn. More specifically, she would reminisce on the moment when Vahn held her in front of the mirror. This would invariably cause a flame of passion to spread through her body, but, at the same time, it was the memory that made her feel most 'grounded'. The only thing that even came close was the moment she first laid eyes on Kenshiro.........While the members chosen to deal with Kotoamatsukami had decided on a more subtle approach, two of the groups associated with the Sage Dragon's Hearth had chosen decidedly different routes.Prior to the start of the Gift Game, Caulifla had been determined to track down Wu so that she could finally teach the petite monkey girl a lesson. Her official mission was to confront the forces of Trayastrimsa, the Community led by Indra, but, as fate would have it, she and Kale ended up being transported to the planet protected by Onigashima.Though their arrival was mere minutes after the start of the Gift Game, the planet belonging to Onigashima had already metamorphosed into a world of perpetual night. The rivers and oceans appeared to be filled to the brim with blood, and, rather than normal flora and fauna, the planet was populated by man-eating plants, carnivorous trees, sinewy black vines, and an incalculable number of blood-sucking creatures.While others might have been daunted by the sight, Caulifla's golden hair and the bright red marks around her eyes weren't an aesthetic choice. The thing that allowed her to make the Super Saiyan Transformation her base state was her mastery over Super Saiyan Sage Mode. She had managed to refine it to the point it influenced even her base state. This was something even Broly and Yuri were incapable of emulating, so, in the weeks leading up to the Gift Game, Caulifla had refined the state even further by spending an uncharacteristic amount of time meditating.One of the benefits of Sage Mode, even in its lesser state, was that it allowed the user to sense even minute fluctuations in the foreign and natural energies. This, combined with the fact she had been training with the Angels in order to master Ultra Instinct, made Caulifla very hard to surprise. There were very few attacks she couldn't evade outright, and, thanks to the golden energy exuding from her pores, she was practically immune to any attack that wasn't at least half as strong as her current power level.With Kale even stronger than she was, the two Saiyanesses were able to easily counter the surprise attack waiting for them on the planet of Onigashima. Several carnivorous plants and trees had tried to attack them, but, with a single bellow from Kale, even the ground for several hundreds of meters was turned to dust. After that, the two Saiyanesses took to the sky before raining down a barrage of gold and green energy that left the side of the planet they were on looking like the scarred surface of a moon...While that was going on, an eerily similar scene was occurring on the planet protected by the Roc Demon King Community, one of the four surviving Communities affiliated with the Seven Demon Kings Alliance.Though they were more commonly known as the Seven Great Sages, the executive members of the Seven Demon Kings Alliance were, much like Shiroyasha in her prime/youth, were forcibly lumped together with Demons due to their destructive natures. The Roc Demon King, in particular, was one of the more destructive entities in the entire organization, as, leading to her inception, her father, a tyrannical Garuda, had forced himself upon the Divine Phoenix. Her mother had never resented her for this, but, as a result of the hatred directed towards her from the rest of the Heavenly Domain, Karyou, the Great Sage who Leaves Heaven in Dissary, could only manipulate her flames with the intent to destroy.As fate would have it, Karyou's planet ended up being the collective destination of four different Communities. Since she was something of a loner, the petite and remarkably youthful-looking Roc Demon King had no choice but to focus purely on 'defending' her planet. As a result, the moment she sensed an intruder, she ended up setting the entire surface ablaze before appearing in the form of a massive golden bird exuding markedly less resplendent golden flames.With a wingspan more than three hundred meters in length, Karyou was a sight to behold, both in reality and through a display. Her body, even whilst transformed, was covered in resplendent and highly ornamented golden accessories that resembled the plumage of the Divine Phoenix. The only thing that seemed 'off' about her were the flames exuding from her body, as, rather than the pure gold associated with the Divine Phoenix, the core of her murky golden flames was tainted with an eerie black light.Though many within the crowd didn't understand the reason for the 'dirty' black hue, it didn't take long for rumors to spread amongst the spectators. As a result, Karyou could feel her very existence being tainted, resentment building within her as she assailed the people invading her planet with a seemingly endless tide of corrosive golden flames.("Just you wait, Wu. Once this matter has been settled, I swear I won't rest until I pull on your tail at least once...")As the person who had forced her to participate, Karyou couldn't help harboring a small amount of resentment towards Wu, her surrogate sister, rival, and best friend. She had been doing her best to lay low these past three hundred years as she was sick and tired of being hated and resented for an event she had absolutely no control over. Unfortunately, no matter how much time passed, people never hesitated to reinvigorate the negative rumors associated with her birth...Unfortunately, just as Karyou attempted to unleash her anger and resentment on one of the groups that had invaded her planet, a stupefied expression developed across her avian face as one of the invaders opened her mouth to an unreasonable extent before simply sucking in all the flames like a black hole. Immediately thereafter, one of the invader's companions charged forward like a meteor, her previously petite frame growing to the size of a small mountain as she crashed into Karyou with her forehead, shouting, "Usagi Charge...!"Though she managed to recover almost instantaneously, the look on Karyou's face became even more incredulous as she found herself facing a three-hundred-meter tall woman wearing a white leotard and rabbit ears. Gigantification wasn't particularly rare as far as Gifts were concerned. What caught Karyou by surprise was the woman's ability to physically strike her. She was supposed to be immune to physical attacks in her transformed state. In spite of this, the feral-looking woman was able to strike her directly while ignoring the flames licking her legs and feet...Just as Karyou was about to ask the woman's identity, black lines appeared on her forehead as the ravenous rabbit girl held up her scary-looking claws and said, "You're pretty tough for a fire chicken. Come at me, plip.""..."......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'FYI, Tamamo's Luck Parameter is among the highest in Vahn's harem...','The legend of the Saiyan Sage begins...','Oof. Now I kind of feel bad for Karyou-chan...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

After an inaugural ceremony that involved introducing each of the Communities and the various teams of Casters representing them, Vahn and Co found themselves teleported to a vast chamber located near the very center of an artificial planet, six thousand kilometers below the surface.Taking a seat atop the throne located at the very center of the chamber, Vahn maintained a relaxed, ostensibly amused expression as he leaned against his armrest, head supported by the knuckles of his right hand as he looked around at the nineteen inordinate beauties and said, "Have fun."Though the crowd had been expecting Vahn to give some kind of speech, the girls weren't all that surprised by his casual demeanor. Their triumph was assured even before the Gift Game began, so, while they each had their own objectives, it was most important they enjoyed themselves. With this in mind, each of the girls, many dressed in outfits reminiscent of swimwear, made their way over to the teleportation nexus located in the adjacent antechamber. This left Vahn alone within the throne room, as, rather than protecting him directly, Kusu, Vados, and Marcarita had the duty of guarding the aforementioned nexus.........Taking advantage of the fact she was aware of everything touched by the Sun's light, an annoyed snort escaped Amaterasu's nose as she witnessed Vahn's casual display from the perspective of a spectator."What's wrong, Aneue...?"Snorting a second time, Amaterasu narrowed her eyes at her younger brother, Susanoo, as she answered, "Concern yourself less with my thoughts and more on your objectives. Your Strongest Storm Division is tasked with the elimination of Onigashima. Do not fail me."Smiling wryly in response to his sister's words, Susanoo donned his helmet and joined the large group of people waiting to use the teleportation nexus. He knew better than to speak against his sister when she was like this, so, as she suggested, he decided to focus on leading his army rather than dealing with the temperamental Sun Goddess...Following Susanoo's departure with her fiery purple eyes, Amaterasu waited until the throne room was empty before retracting her scowl. Fortunately, she could tell when Casters were observing her, so, with the vast majority of perspectives focusing on the deployment of each Community's forces, she allowed herself a moment of reprieve as she shifted her attention to the massive sphere of fire and gas dominating the very center of the Game Board........."What do you want us to do, Shion? Should we split up and tackle the various satellites or do you want us to focus on eliminating one of the lower-digit Communities as soon as possible?"Asking the petite, white-haired girl for orders was a kind-looking youth with peculiar, black and white hair. At his side, standing barely half his height was a young girl with similarly colored hair, but, rather than appearing plain, she was among the most eccentric-looking people in the room due to her cat-inspired attire, inordinately large pigtails, and massive, paw-themed hammer.Shifting her icy blue eyes towards the duo, Shion maintained a completely neutral expression as she answered, "Our priority should be capturing or destroying the offensive satellites...other than that...I don't really care what you do...just don't embarrass us..."Though she was confident in her ability to defeat pretty much anything, the rules of the Gift Game made the Model Omega out to be a Win Condition. There was a fair chance it was indestructible by conventional means, so, while she was tempted to simply destroy the presumed machine outright, Shion decided to play it safe by personally protecting their control room."Right..."As it was pretty rare for all of them to gather like this, the dichromatic youth, known to his friends and companions as Ryouma, had forgotten how anti-social Shion could be. In the distant past, he had found this aspect of her character to be cute, but, as it quickly became apparent she was even more of a 'main character' than even he was, he eventually gave up trying to add her to his harem.Understanding that Shion would probably just ignore him if he asked for clearer orders, Ryouma turned to the inordinately petite girl at his side, a loli-baba with a split personality named Cheshire, asking, "You ready to cut loose, Chi-chan...?"Raising her massive hammer as if it was an inflatable, weightless toy, a mischievous grin spread across the demure Dwarfette's face as she animatedly answered, "Of course~! Chi-chan is always ready to smash some heads! Nyahahaha~"Returning a smile and a nod, Ryouma extended his hand for the petite girl to grasp before guiding her towards the large group of women waiting at the side. They, like himself and Cheshire, each had black and white hair, as, despite his fondness for their original hair color, Ryouma wanted to make it very clear who they belonged to. When half of your companions were 'Heroes' with harems of their own, precautions against cuckolding were, unfortunately, very necessary.........Though she was technically a part of the group opposing the Kotoamatsukami, Tomoe, appearing in an outfit resembling a blue and white sports swimsuit, had been designated as her team's pilot. The Model Omega was perfectly capable of taking action autonomously, but, for the sake of preserving it against more powerful foes, it was better to have a skilled pilot in the cockpit. Tomoe was pretty much unbeatable in this regard, so, while Amaterasu, Tamamo, Musashi, and Kenshin invaded the planet of Kotoamatsukami directly, she, alongside Okita and Nobu, assaulted one of the Offensive Satellites.Unfortunately, while her skills as a pilot were nigh-unmatchable, Tomoe's skills as a combatant had waned with the passage of several decades. She had trained hard in preparation for the Gift Game, but, against opponents on the level of Imperial Dragons, her bow was pretty much useless."My apologies, Nobu-dono, Sou-dono...It has been quite some time since I've been active on an actual battlefield..."Without so much as batting an eyelash, Okita, sporting a stylish black bikini, used her inordinately long sword, Rengokuken, to casually deflect hundreds of powerful lasers as she flatly replied, "It's not an issue..."Nodding her head in approval, Nobu, appearing as her younger self and sporting an even more revealing black and gold bikini added, "Mochita is correct. Your duty is to pilot the Model Omega and fuck everyone up. Our duty is to get you inside the cockpit. Don't you dare look down on us, you horny nun."Though she didn't appreciate being called a horny nun, Tomoe nodded her head in response to Nobu's words. At the same time, however, an accusatory glimmer flashed across her ruby-red eyes as she stared at the petite, raven-haired woman currently squatting behind Okita, clearly admiring her butt. She presumed Nobu was doing it just to garner additional attention from the Casters, but, at the same time, Tomoe couldn't help condemning the woman for her shamelessness...In truth, Nobu simply couldn't help admiring Okita's pert, shapely, and remarkably tanned bottom. Her bisexuality wasn't exactly a secret among the members of Vahn's harem. She had always had a certain fondness for women, and, thanks to Vahn's 'accepting' nature, she had basically established a harem of her own among the girls with eastern origins. This included Okita, who, feeling Nobu's breath against her bottom, developed a faint blush as she allowed a beam of energy to slip past her guard...Deflecting the beam with a wave of her hand, a moderately annoyed expression developed across Nobu's face as she rose to her feet and said, "That does it. You can all go to hell."Manifesting a military-style cap with the emblem of the Oda Clan emblazoned on the front like a luminous sun, a vicious smile developed across Nobu's face as she placed it atop her head. At the same time, a vibrant red cloak manifested across her shoulders, golden flames decorating the edge as the sky overhead shifted from a crystal clear nightscape to a hazy, blood-red atmosphere.Realizing what Nobu was about to do, Okita sheathed her sword faster than the 'cameras' could perceive before unleashing a sword beam that seemed to separate the heavens and earth. Each of the Imperial Dragons affected by the unfathomably swift beam had their torsos cleanly separated from their lower bodies, but, unlike normal machines, there was nothing like an explosion to mark their destruction. Instead, the torsos continued forward in defiance of gravity, mindlessly launching forth volley after volley of penetrating energy beams as the openings in their waists quickly sealed themselves.Clicking her tongue, Okita swept her sword in a half-crescent that produced a curtain-like veil of light. Each of the energy beams that impacted it was subsequently nullified, so, taking advantage of the opportunity she had created, Okita promptly moved behind Nobu as the latter pulled down her cap, an even larger grin developing across her face as she said, "Bankai...!"......Though the spectators had previously been focusing on Nobu's, Okita's, and Tomoe's swimsuits, the tensions in the crowd shifted once the two-syllable word echoed throughout the Little Garden. Even though it was just an image on the screen, everyone witnessing the event felt a chill spread through their body, as, rather than simply unleashing her Bankai, a functionally infinite number of malicious-looking rifles, Nobu also activated her Mangekyou Sharingan. More accurately, she activated one of the most powerful abilities associated with the Mangekyou, the Susanoo.While all Susanoo's were intimidating to look at, Nobu's took on the form of a blood-red skeleton with a demonic visage and four arms. The aura exuding from it resembled mist formed from blood, and, due to the energies of Destruction contained within, it eroded everything in her surroundings like an unfathomably corrosive acid...Had it just been the skeletal visage and the countless rifles that had manifested behind her, the crowd wouldn't have cared about Nobu's ability. What shook them to the core were the tens of thousands of blood-red skeletons that manifested from the unceasing tide of corrosive, carmine mist. It was like witnessing a scene out of hell, as, even when an energy beam passed through their head or chest, the monstrous skeletons would instantaneously regenerate as they took up the rifles produced by Nobu's Bankai and surged forth like an unstoppable tide.........Witnessing Nobu's performance from the relative comfort of his throne, a wry smile developed across Vahn's face as he remarked, "I should have known Nobu would be the first to activate her Bankai..."(*She always was a bit of a show-off...*)Nodding his head in response to Sis's words, Vahn shifted his attention away from the swimsuit-clad trio to focus on other matters. Now that Nobu had activated her Bankai, the only thing that could stop her from taking over one of the offensive satellites was enemy interference. Even then, the odds of them breaking through her Susanoo were pretty slim, as, the moment a dangerous foe appeared, Okita would invariably take action."Hmm...?"Though it had nothing to do with the members of the Sage Dragon's Hearth, Vahn's intrigue was piqued when he noticed the members of the Araki Community, the Community led by Johnathan, invading the planet of Wu. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if the group of inordinately muscular men had intentionally targetted her, as, rather than defending his control/throne room, Johnathan was leading the attack directly.Reacting to the invasion, hundreds of demonic beasts, ranging from palm-sized marmosets to hill-sized apes, charged towards the inordinately muscular group. These were the inhabitants of Mount Huaguo, so, despite their animalistic appearances, many within the monstrous horde were able to contend against the Gods of the Heavenly Domain.At first glance, it was easy to imagine Johnathan and his allies being defeated by the swarm of demonic beasts.
