Chapter 0B

The pathway consisted of many rocks piled on one another to form a way to go towards 'Glogon', and as Mytos was getting closer to said city, he held dearly close to his spear, as he made sure to get to finally know what is happening there, once he got close enough, his footsteps getting louder as his armor moves while his skeletal body swiftly moves through the aglomerate of low Deitical cities, some would look as said warrior is getting closer to his objective, while that was happening, many exited their dorms to notice this very famous being with no emotional expression at all, finally stepping aside towards the city, it was burning wildly, like if a fire golem was eating the city as a whole, Mytos would lower his helmet to cover his face as he rushed inside the city, he immidiently noticed that something is not right to be exact, it was not an inner threat, he noticed that not only the higher deities are dead, such as Lynos, the one that was meant to manage said city, but also the weaker ones that were also burnt to the ground, that made him think for a solid while as he looked around ruined city that is falling apart slowly, he noticed one in the background, a smiling figure in the dark, about to show their faces to him, Mytos for the first time started to sweat, not because of the heat, but because he realized that it is something far more dangerous than he originally anticipated, without a word, he held firmly his spear by his hand as he got into his defensive position, covering half of his body with a strong reality warping shield that he had near him at all times, as he inspected quickly said being, it slowly moved towards him, while walking it grabbed one of the bigger parts of Pergran, crushing it like a paper page, it was particullary scary for Mytos himself as he knew exactly what said structure was meant to do, and how strong it was meant to be, that simply meant to Mytos that...finally, after ages, uncountable time that would not be bound to this very place anyways, the greatest protection measure for Mythoversum was broken, these beings were not some slacks as he has faced them before, these are...real monsters, ones that probably have destroyed countless of worlds like these before, as the creature with ease was able to get through any defense mechanisms, Mytos finally decided to act, as he started slowly approaching the creature, it slowly revealed itself from the darkness and said with the deep tone, while looking at all the massacre.

"Haha! What a pitiful world, you thought it could stop anybody? This is incredibly funny, after destroying all these pawns of yours, I've realized that you're the one to protect this..hopeless place. I will get ahead of you, my name is 'Marauder', and I am here to avenge my brother that is stuck within strains in your meaningless prison, that I will crush next, but first, it seems like you're the one to stop me, eh? Goodluck, let's hope you will survive then, 'Mytos the Great'." - Said the Marauder, as his body was more visible now and Mytos could see what really he is dealing with, a tall amalgamation of a skeleton, but perhaps more of an elemental for sure, creature wielded a rusty, corrupted dark armor that covered their whole body and melted with it causing it to become more of a skin layer than anything, creature would then lengthen said 'Pergran' piece he took, making a sebre out of it, as he quickly jumped on Mytos, immidiently starting with a strong blow to the left, knocking away Mytos' shield.

Mytos responded immidiently by parrying the sabre of Marauder, as he jumped back and forth finally swinging his sword to the right, Marauder would dodge with ease as he just simply moved to the left, as Mytos especially missed, he would sigh in disbelief, as he was struck with the sebre now as he had nothing to protect himself with, he was thrown of with such strong blow that he hit the building, going through two walls before finally collapsing, Marauder would laugh horrifingly as his screetch would echo throughout the entirety of Mythoversum, even the Centre itself, as he would expand his arms like tentacles, moving ontop of the bulding to now try and jump ontop of Mytos to deal the final blow, as Mytos looked at what Marauder is trying to do, he used the momentum to quickly duck down, and jump over to the right so when Marauder hit the ground, he essentially missed. Mytos used that to run towards the shield he dropped, quickly switching to his spear as he quickly threw it over towards Marauder as it slowly got up, spear shot was incredibly accurate as it hit the being in the eye, it screetched horribly moving back quickly and crawling from his view, finally it got atop of the building next to him as it grabbed the spear that landed deep inside its skull, it threw it out of their eyes, crushing it with its bare hands, a Spear known to break half of Mythoversum, broke just like that... Mytos was shocked, but immidiently took the shield by two hands protecting itself, and it was on time, as Marauder would jump at him, and would immidiently get blown back to the wall by the shield, as that happened Mytos would grab the sabre from creature's hand, as it struck it multiplate times with sabre that he could not fully comprehand but still used it as his last way of pulling back from Marauder, he dropped the weapon as he would slowly get back, as he reached over to the Centre, with his power of fist he would break a part of the Centre, making out of it a large crossbow, which he loaded with an arrow that was made out of the very 'Celestiality' itself, as he shot the arrow, it would pierce through the archetypical layers of Glogon, countless infinitely stacked Multiverses that would be composed of the City, as the arrow finally hit, Marrauder would grab it with his hand before it landed, but it exploded in his hand, causing major damage to it, as Marauder would slowly expand himself, and take a bite out of Glogon structure, as he would power himself up slowly, Mytos would look brave as he would run towards Marauder, as he loaded another arrow, jumped atop of building and clashed with Marauder, he pulled the trigger of crossbow and. . .

Mytos woke up from the ground, his armor broken, weapons nowhere to be seen, he would see a dark creature rethreating from the city with a large arrow stuck to its abdomen, he realize that...he has failed, he didn't kill the being, and it just decided to leave him there, he would simply look at the sky, for the first time really Mytos has failed to save Mythoversum, and it looked so hopeless, and so it was hopeless, Mytos, fuelled with so much emotions to fight, now as he lost, would let the emotions out as he started crying on the ground with rage in disbelief, after all, what will he do now? All is lost, and now, he doesn't even know what will happen, maybe Movere will finally do it himself? Mytos would realize that he really is just another pawn in way of Marauder, no special hero as people describe him, he slowly stood up, looking at his weapons all destroyed, he would slowly look at the ground, as he then faced to the left, portal would dissappear, which would mean Marauder already went somewhere else in Mythoversum, he slowly got up, realizing that something is not right, some of the weaker beings tried attacking him, which was irrational of them, while he tried to hold them off he realized as all of them had a certain symbol above their heads, which would be the sign of anarchy, that can only mean one certainity...whatever that creature was, it is able to turn people against one another, as he realized that, he knew that there's no other choice than to stop them, as he would slam his fist into one of them causing a whole crack and destruction on somewhat large scale killing all the enemies that stood infront of him, old friends, old pals, all of them gone, he was exhausted just from the fight, but now he just didn't have power to do anything, he sat down on the ground, looking at the ground, rain started falling down, and the fire was slowly extinguished, that would only mean good, at least not the whole structure will go down, Mytos would not be able to fix it anyways, he doesn't have capabilities of creating, more of destroying with his immense strength that now seemed futile against this very enemy he tried to fight, he looked up in the sky, as he realized he heard someone coming towards the city, a galactical humanoid, he already knew who that was, Yurei...? What is he doing here? He thought, he would sight, and Yurei would easily see him from the pile, as he immidiently ran up towards him.

"Mytos?! What happened?! Where is- what's happening, why is this whole structure about to fall?! Whe- better, what IS going on? Please, explain it to me, Did they...where are these revolters?!" - Yurei would say as he shaked Mytos' body as it expressionlessly looked at him.

"I...I failed Yurei. That's what I did, I fucking failed, okay? I failed you, everybody, this fucker- whoever it was, is too strong for either me or you, he just shook the whole Centre with his laughter, what the fuck! I tried, but hear me out brother, I think it won't really...I won't be able to help any of you, I am too weak, these weren't revolters, it was HIM...or rather 'Marauder', whoever this idiot is, he is so stupidly strong that...I don't think we can rely on one another anymore." - Mytos would sigh as he would fix his helmet that already was in shambles, he slowly stood up from the ruins of dimensional buildings literally building with a fire so special it was able to burn all of it like a paper or wood.

"B-But Mytos! You didn't fail, you just- listen, everybody sometimes gets to fail but thats what makes us improve later, you cannot give up what you were made for! Listen...we will defeat him no matter what, you will just have to work for me, I realized that...- the diplomatic ways of mine will never suffice, I tried, but Venus did not want to help, I realized- we can't work separately, we have to work together, no matter what, if you want to do something better...do it with someone else- heh." - Yurei would say nervously as he watched Mytos walking towards the edge of this very structure, sitting down near it as he watched chaos unleash in Mythoversum.

"I...No. Listen, first off, I don't think we will make a difference anyways- atleast I will not, second off, I don't think thats how this quotation went, it's 'If you want to do something, then do it yourself', all you're trying to do is convince me to..I don't even know what, is there anything to save? I mean there is but will we be able to defeat it?" - Mytos would look at the ground, as he would look at his own hands, armor was all destroyed, Yurei sat near him as he would look at him.

"Mytos..please, let me help you, I know it's your job but, we have to do it. Screw The Bound Rule, screw feelings and complexes just this once, okay? Let's try to make a diffeence anyways instead of trying to find the worst things in really bad situations, let's do something else instead, let's try defeating your new nemesis, if we won't be able to, that's alright- I mean it's not but...it's good to at least try, right? Nothing will happen if we won't succeed- I mean something will happen but- ugh...it's so hard to explain." - Yurei was too stressted to really form anything much of proper help, he would sigh himself, as they both would look far away.

". . . You know what? Screw this, fucker, or anything. You will help me, sure, if I die I die, I don't care anymore, let's try this once, my ego is fucking me up and I can't think of anything else, You're right. I should more look at it from better angle or perspective, it's not my prestige, it's everyone else that matters, fuck Venus, they went over my head and made me think I was someone special... I am fucking not, but I will try to make a difference and help." - Said Mytos, as he would stand up and look at Yurei, as Yurei himself, a little exicted, would stand up too.

"Alright, and thus we are off to go! Oh- Hold on, yeah- I forgot you- kinda lost most of your stuff, that's alright, I will create something special for you.." - Yurei would say, as he pulled out a page, and started writing on it quickly, suddenly, a spear, a little different than the one he had, a little weaker would appear in his hands, after all Yurei was not sure how strong really Mytos is, so he tried to make something similiar to his power, armor appeared on his body, and a shield, shield also didn't have his old properties but...Mytos didn't mind anymore, he just wanted to be sure that this...monster will not live another day, he sighed and aimed towards a place in which creature teleported, at least Mytos had a great sence that he could see, smell, or feel something from incresingly far away, that would be found cruetial as because of it they would appear in another objective of this monstrosity, which would be.. The Deuspace, as they would enter it, both would look in terror as this very place was also infested with.. Marauder. The ruins of the buildings or places existing in Deuspace were all around, as Marauder with his two hands was crushing Deities alone, each one that tried to stop him was easily attacked, and then eaten alive, while eaten alive, Marauder gained new capabilities from these very Deities, and once Yurei approached Marauder, time would stop, as he consumed the Deity of Time Vectority. Marauder simply walked towards Yurei, as he punched him straight in his face, time came back to normal, and Yurei flew all the way to the end of the structure as he hit his head hard on the pavement, Mytos would look in the shock as he quickly turned and struck Marauder right into another eye, it screetched terribly, Mytos quickly moved back to avoid being grabbed, and it was very accurate, as the creature missed and hit the ground instead, he quickly held his stance as he looked directly at the Marauder, it still had an arrow inside it. Marauder would shake slowly as it would create bubbles around its body that would blow up, making the arrow fell off of its body, as it started punching its own chest as if to aggrevate Mytos. From Marauder's palms, claws would come out, as with one sharp blow, he would destroy Mytos' shield, Mytos would quickly strike back as he would try and pierce the spear through his chest, but it was futile, even though said spear was forged by Yurei to pierce through the Herospheres, said spear simply bounced off of the armor plate on his chest, as Marauder grabbed the Spear and started fighting with Mytos, finally, spear was thrown away from Mytos' hand, and he was forced to fight bare-fisted, he quickly delivered a punch to push him away, but he was quickly clawed through his arm, when that try was made, Mytos quickly ducked down and a claw missed, hitting the one of countless realities shattering it completely, along with a dozens of Mythospheres falling down and shattering like glass, along with all their dimensional layers, Mytos would quickly turn and jump towards his spear as he quickly grabbed it, turned towards the creature and now charged an attack with his fist, with it he punched Marauder, the hit was so strong, that it would be compared in power of 4 HeroSpheres colliding with The 'Enlightment' and exploding in twice the power, Marauder was blown back as it made the structure bend and dissolve slowly, but Mytos did not care about the destruction he might cause, he just wants to get this done with, Marauder quickly stood up, as he used his claws to climb up the largest building, now at this time many other deities joined Mytos' side trying to help him, but their help was less and less helpful and more helping the enemy, as Marauder consumed one by another as they posed no real threat to him, he was able to put them down quickly, the one he struggled the hardest with was Reneve, with whom he had a long battle with, resulting in Marauder eating apart of his large divine body, making it crush apart long deep down, that caused Marauder to spark with power though, but Mytos was fast enough to not let him eat the entirety of Reneve, as he stroke his chest again, this time being able to pierce apart of his body, making a hole in it, it was because of the strong punch that Mytos delivered before, and as Marauder turned down, he used telekinesis of Reneve to throw the entirety of Totality Prison, but before he was able to throw it, he only moved it up, but when he did that, Yurei struck him in the neck, as he made by writing down, it was an excalibur-like weapon, long as of 10 meters, being capable of piercing down any cardinal amount of dimensions, or anything within the range of it, with a quick slash, the creature felt through all dimensions as it was left in pain, creature screetched again, this time loud enough to damage The Centre, but it was not able to scream for long as Mytos used this opportunity to stab it through the unprotected part of chest he destroyed with his fist, as the spear penetrated through, seemingly a yellow core that would support its existence would spill out the yellowish hot substance, as the creature would start breaking down, Mytos would take advantage of it, he knew creature could now simply reverse time and go on a bigger rampage, but before he was able to strike it down to Totality Prison, it would start growing many limbs, so many limbs, and so strong that one was able to crush the entirety of structure they were at, as Marauder's large limbs would all grab onto the structure they are at, Marauder would look more of like a spider from that view now, as he tried to hit Mytos and Yurei with parts of structures, dimensions it got to witness or see, Yurei and Mytos as now they reunited, both went into a deep fusion to defeat being now overtranscending them, they became 'The Balance Warrior', an amalgamation similiar to height of that of Marauder, which would approximately be as high as the inacessible cardinal amounts of dimensions, as both would start to clash, The Balance Warrior would open all of its 8 eyes, as all of them flashed into the eyes of Marauder, now the hands of the creature would start to attack The Balance Warrior, but with now the sword that has been combined with spear, they were able to cut down three limbs that were trying to hit them with structure parts, finally, a final blow was delivered, as the sword would pierce through the core of the being again, but not fully, as the Marauder bolted back, all the limbs would disintegrate and creature would run off into the deep again...Fusion of Yurei and Mytos would quickly dissassemble then as both fell onto one another, Mytos would quickly stand up nervously looking for Marauder, and he saw it, saw it directly escape Mythoversum damaged, as if it was bleeding off it's core, was it dying? Did they win..? They didn't know.

"We won...did we? That's it, you were right Yurei..But look at what happened to this world now...I am no warrior to protect the entirety of it, not anymore, we need the descendants, I am sure of it now..Or..I need to ascend. Either both options would be right, we can't deal with this over and over Yurei" - Mytos would say as he fixed his helmeted, sighing deeply as he looked at all dead deities and damaged ones, that their power was taken away to the full extend.

"So...how strong exactly is this motherfucker Yurei? You know the insight on entities, so you probably know best what he is capable of, for now he literally demolished everyone on his way, and with each kill he just got stronger and stronger, quickly ascending to even damaging our "Core", what now? What if more of these..beings come here? No, this can't end up like this" - Mytos would say sure of himself, now Yurei would quickly follow him up saying:

"I..have no idea, he seemed not that strong but as the battle proggressed he began stronger and stronger, transcendency for sure, but it would be incredibly high, maybe even absolute, the Absolute knows, Mytos. We should head to the Castle, and inform Movere, you go to your house, take care of your tools and armor, and then help others, I will head to Movere myself-" Yurei would say, not responding much to other points of Mytos, Mytos would stop him though before he went off to The Castle

"No..sorry if that sounds uh- egoistic but I want to go with you, I was in this battle to, if we were both in it, we will both explain it, just give me a moment to do as you say, get uh- work on my armor, it seemingly is very damaged, and I can't take anymore chances." - Mytos would say

Marauder has dissappeared from Mythoversum, Mytos would look at the disaster both of them have made, Mythoversum in ruins, even Centre is hurt, they knew that they had to head to the Absolute to inform him of this, but at least they knew problem was half-dealt with, now they were sure that the idea of descendants was the right one, they wont be able to deal with everything like this only by themselves, they knew that sooner or later Mythoversum would fall because of that, but then another question would come to mind, why won't Movere just, disintegrate, or take care of beings that come in and try to destroy his very creation? They didn't know, but rather both wanted to not ask him that, because, they knew how he takes these questions, they just knew that to continue this Verse, they had to work together, and so they came to said conclusion, Mytos would quickly take all his weapons, and head towards the town quickly, he had to get his armor and tools in check, in case, and then gather up deities that are still alive to help rebuilding the structures, but before that, he headed with Yurei to The Castle again, where Movere resided in.

Both would appear at the doorstep of Movere's castle, infront of the Absolute, they were ready to face their consequences, and new future that they will experience very soon.
