His sight grayed . Millions of tentacles of death and taint shot from every direction stabbing through his friends, ignoring their barriers . The women were pulled off into the nothingness, one by one, some screaming his name, begging for his help . Alice's frightened voice perhaps shook him the most—the power-negating tentacles preventing the half-demoness from unleas.h.i.+ng any miracles . Toru's head s.n.a.t.c.hed off, Seth ran through, Yusuke hung up to watch while a ghostly figure of Shaku laughed in his face, pinning the blame on him . Clyde himself fought tentacles to the very end, but instead of death, he was smashed so hard, the force of the blow blasted him into the city . Upon returning, nothing of his friends remained except their literal screams .

It whispered, "such fun for an eternity…" then laughed, increasing the volume of Alice's scream until his ears bled . As if things couldn't get any worse, the tentacles warped to earth and slayed his family one by one in the most gruesome ways possible .

[Warning: this is but a possible future, among many futures . ]

The vision which felt so real vanished and the young man found himself on his knees, trembling . His friends surrounded him, concerned .

"Why must I see these things," he whispered .

"Dude," Seth said . "Maybe we should go . "

"Clyde, what happened? Are you okay?" Alice said .

Clyde pulsed and gave all of himself to the power . As he stood, time and s.p.a.ce warped around him . His friends knowing his abilities backed away as the golden aura emerged . Wings burst from his back, the halo of gold, black, and silver appeared over his head . One eye was silver, the other gold . His casual clothing s.h.i.+mmered .

His aura touched the universe, and everyone knew of his existence . The sky turned pale-gold, the winds stopped and so did storms across the planet, and all grew silent .

[Seal destroyed…]

[Full Deity Stone Mode +50% invoked . ]

[You are no longer bonded by levels while in this state . ]

[Warning, YOU TRULY SHOULDN'T ACCESS THIS SYSTEM . ]

[Warning: you can only hold this full transformation for one minute . ]

[Warning: OVERSTRAIN ALERT!]

Hundreds of tentacles threw themselves at Clyde . He aimed a hand at them .

>>>Clyde activated G.o.d Hand Holy Wave<>

The unleashed golden light turned all the tentacles into b.l.o.o.d.y mist . Clyde spread open his wings then launched himself into the air .

Eyes on the giant sphere of taint in the sky, which no one else could see, he fired more power .

>>>Clyde activated G.o.d Hand Purity Wave<>

The fired power shone brighter than the sun, its presence shaking the universe . The skyborne ma.s.s exploded upon contact with it . Someone or something fell .

[You have drastically weakened the Abyss to the Darkness . ]

[The Abyss has been inflicted with purity blight . ]

[Warning: Purity is a highly unstable element . Even those on the side of the light fear it, just as those on the side of the dark fear taint . ]

[Alert, you will begin to s.h.i.+ft back to normal . ]

Clyde landed, eyes on a being made of pure black taint, with two glowing eyes peering at his party . Purple and black aura surrounded it .

[It is not advised to activate Delete . The use of this ability right now will kill you and may choose the wrong target . It is an unstable form of purity . ]

Clyde walked toward the Abyss, pace unhurried .

"You did this to me," it snarled in a deep voice, a voice that could no longer protect itself in all places . "You…"

The Abyss aimed a hand at Clyde .

[The Abyss activated First swarm . ]

With a single hand, Clyde grabbed the tainted tentacles and pulled . The unsuspecting Abyss roared as it was smashed against a tree several times .

[The Abyss's HP has dropped to 450% of 95M%]

>>>Clyde activated—

His power flickered out and on a knee, he went, pain throbbing within every muscle and bone of his body . Despite dealing millions of points of damage faster than any being ever, it wasn't enough . The Abyss was still alive, if barely, and capable of killing .

As if knowing Clyde's predicament, a flaming tentacle lurched from his direction, toward the young man, intent to kill .

A hand s.n.a.t.c.hed it .

[Alice has invoked Legendary Arch-Angelic blood . ]

Clyde's eyes widened as he watched her attack, unaffected by the tentacle's negating abilities . Bright white wings on her back, coated in pink and white aura, she was a force of nature . She sliced the tentacle with h.e.l.lbreaker, causing the Abyss to scream, and threw the sword at it .

As if expecting it to block, which the Abyss did, Alice pointed at the sky then at the creature .

[Alice activated a *Legendary* tier skill: Meteor!]

A giant meteor smashed into the monster at the speed of light . Despite being only fifty meters away, a wave of warm air covered the group .

[The Abyss's HP has dropped to 200%]

[Harumi has invoked Kitsune form . ]

[Melody has invoked Dark G.o.ddess blood . ]

"If you mess with him, you mess with all of us," Melody said .

"This cannot be, I am…I am . . . " The Abyss took aim at Clyde, snarling with pointed teeth .

[The Abyss activated Void tier skill: Her Last Eternal Silence . ]

As the tainted magic jolted toward the group, Harumi stepped forward .

[Harumi activated Tier 1 skill: Redirecting s.h.i.+eld . ]

The Abyss gasped and jumped . His magic bounced from the kitsune's s.h.i.+eld . Suddenly it took a super-fast lurch toward the airborne creature . Made of the same taint, the magic didn't do much damage but it pulled the monster back to the ground .

Pink lightning oozed from seemingly everywhere into Melody's grasps .

[Melody activated Tier 1 skill: Rose Lightning de Grande . ]

With an outward thrust of both hands, she released her magic .

"Natalia," Clyde said, weakly . He became aware of her arms wrapped around his back . "Do it now . "

As the Abyss fired black magic to combat against Melody's lightning, Natalia walked beside her . She held her staff forward with both hands .

[Natalia activated G.o.dDESS TIER SKILL: G.o.ddess Venus's Eternal Love Becomes Heartbreak . ]

"No! I cannot fail," the Abyss yelled . "I am all! I AM ALL . "

"Stop pretending to be a G.o.d," Tear said . "You're a legendary monster, but not a deity . "

"I have risen," the Abyss said . "I am he who embodies taint . "

"You are filth," Alice said, aiming a hand . "Be cleansed like filth . "

[Tear activated Tier 1 skill: All Ending on the Plains of Existence . ]

[Alice activated *Legendary* tier skill: Angel's Light . ]

The Abyss still roared as the magic collided against it . It moved forward, as if refusing to acknowledge death as a possibility .

The creature held up a hand made of solid taint and dark aura .

"You cannot kill me . "

[The Abyss's HP has dropped to 50%]

Magic pulsed rapidly and then expanded so fast the group couldn't possibly react to it . All Clyde felt was burning and aching before his vision cleared .

[Your HP has dropped to 50%]

[Alice's HP has dropped to 48%]

[Melody's HP has dropped to 35%]

[Seth, Toru, Kitome, Natalia, Yusuke, Ming, Yuki, Chika, Ruri, Matsume's HPs has dropped to 25%]

[Your party has entered a *Super Boss* Fight, phase 2 . ]

[Let it be known that simply depleting a Super Boss's HP may not be enough . You must figure out what's driving it . ]

The Abyss laughed then blurred toward the first in his sights . Yusuke . Kitome stood in front of her brother .

[Kitome activated Deadly heart arrow . ]

Only grazed, the Abyss dodged, following up with a backhand that sent the magical girl flying . Fortunately, Yusuke was transformed . He sprinted—almost teleported to catch his sister, completely ignoring the monster of taint . Toru and Seth engaged it to hold its attention .

Clyde stood, gaining the eyes of the teammates standing by him .

"Keep an eye on your target," the young man said . Natalia hopped on his shoulders . Her light body didn't agitate the strained bones much .

What could be driving the monster at this point? Clyde racked his brain . What did he see last before Neko yanked them out of the church-like building?

His eyes widened . That had to be it . But how would he recover the d.a.m.ned thing? The idea smacked him in the face . He had skilled teammates for a reason . Sure, he hated putting them in danger, but they'd be insulted if he treated them like weaklings .

"Chika," he said . "Do you think you can stealth and gut that thing? You've got to make it quick . If his cooldown ends, we're all dead . There will be nothing I can do . "

Chika nodded . As she stealthed, Clyde noticed a strange prompt .

[Chika's state has s.h.i.+fted to Zero Control . ]

What did that mean? It's not like she made much of an effort to control her Yandere l.u.s.t anyway, Clyde thought . Maybe this was a transformation that slipped by him .

The young man waited . For some reason, Alice, Melody, Harumi, Natalia, and Tear didn't leave his side . He may be weakened from overstrain, but he would not be pampered . The moment he stepped forward, Alice placed a hand in front of him .

"I don't think so . Let go of the pride, Heart," Alice said . "Ego doesn't suit you . We all know that a transformation like that is triggered by some kind of trauma, yet nothing happened . The only thing that makes sense is that you saw something horrible in a vision . "

"And you will hold here," Harumi said, back in normal form . Apparently, she didn't like being in her kitsune state for that long . Clyde wondered why . "You've done what was thought to be impossible and weakened that thing . Leave the rest to Chika . "

As if on cue, the Abyss screamed . Taint gashed from its back like spraying blood . The light that Clyde was looking for revealed itself . He stretched out a hand and called it, not with words, but with feelings . The Omen's sphere rose into the air, contracted into sparkles and stardust . The debris rushed to the young man as if being vacuumed . He felt incredible, but like the first absorption of a giant Omen's sphere, exhaustion hit .

[The Abyss's HP has dropped to 25%]

[The Abyss has been inflicted with Utter rage . ]

[The Abyss charges Void tier skill: Nation Destruction Thrice Strike . ]

The land shook, winds picked up, and the skies darkened as the magic and taint concentrated in the hands of the creature .

"I am he who embodies the taint! He who destroys nations and taints even the strongest . I am feared! I will not be insulted!"

Clyde checked his MP .

[MP: 90%]

"Onii-chan what are you doing?" Natalia said .

Clyde raised a hand into the air .

"Hey guys, check this out . "

Selecting one of his newest skills, he unleashed the magic .

[You activated Tier 1 skill: Star storm!]

His teammates who could spare the MP followed his lead .

[Seth activated Tier 3 skill: Volcanic shot . ]

[Toru activated Tier 2 skill: Light grenade . ]

[Ming activated Tier 2 skill: Prophesied death! The Abyss's defense, will, luck, and evasion has drop by 25%]

[Yuki activated Tier 1 skill: Demonic blazing strike . ]

"Hey Abyss, a present from Team Stone," Clyde said . When it looked at him, he gave it the middle finger . Clyde's light-blue giant fireb.a.l.l.s of magic rained from the skies first, engulfing the creature . The rest of the team's magic ruthlessly finished the job . Many prompts auto-set themselves to delayed as usual . He allowed himself to collapse to a knee . They had done it . They had actually defeated the Abyss .

[The Abyss's HP has dropped to 0%]

[Battle completed . Victory! Reward: 10 million EXP and 5 million dollars . ]

[Congratulations, you have reached levels 71, 72, 73, 74, and 75 . ]

[You have learned Special Tier Skill: Energy Materialize . ]

Clyde felt annoyed with some of the ability mechanics . The problem with tier skills was that they used a lot of MP and had incredibly long cooldowns . Normal skills may not be as powerful, but they were more practical, he thought .

"Cheesy nii-chan," Natalia said then danced into his guard to kiss him… on the cheek . She didn't have the strength to s.h.i.+ft back into her adult form to really mess with Alice .

"Anyone else tired as s.h.i.+t?" Clyde said . Everyone raised their hands .

"Let me carry you!" Matsume said to Clyde, l.u.s.t in her eyes .

"No thanks," Clyde said .

"I insist . "

"No stay back—Harumi, Matsume's bullying me . "

Everyone laughed .

[Your reputation has increased to level 5: you… . I know you!]

[You are now feared by a mult.i.tude of G.o.ds…]

[You have involuntarily established a relations.h.i.+p link with Venus, G.o.ddess of Love and s.e.x . ]

[Your dangerous relations.h.i.+p with Venus has increased to Absolute Wanting, Unrequited Love . ]

[Warning! Alert! You may want to consider talking to Mortem . ]
