The Beginning after the Last

Chapter 1, Part 2: The End to a Beginning.

However, Lord Origama managed to form a divine spherical shield around his fellow gods, protecting them from the onslaught. But as they began verbally planning their next move, something flickered at the edge of their vision—Lord RaAvi was suddenly right beside them. He had moved with such incredible speed that none of them had been able to process it in time. With a simple wave of one of his arms, the defense shielding the assembled gods shattered instantly.

Lord Devara tried to react... But then the worst happened. His body erupted in a violent outburst of spikes jutting out from every part of him. He knew this was the end. He knew he was going to die—but he refused to go out without a fight. Using his ability to manipulate gravity, he pulled two massive planets toward Lord RaAvi, crushing the king of gods between them like a colossal vice. Then, hurling a star into the collision, he ignited the entire mass in a storm of stellar fire.

With the last of his strength, he formed a gravitational zone and focused all of his remaining power into collapsing it inward on the king of gods.

After all of this, Lord Devara was weakened tremendously—so much so that he could no longer maintain the attack he had unleashed upon the king of gods. Falling to his knees, every technique and force he had previously summoned collapsed and faded into the void of space. He was now bleeding heavily.

Lord Barios returned and began using his powers to heal Lord Devara naturally, but then they saw it—the sight they dreaded most. Lord RaAvi was walking toward them with a slow, menacing stride. He was still without a head, yet it regenerated easily, almost casually, right before their eyes.

"You bunch are real troublesome to deal with, I'll give you that... But one thing's for sure... none of you have proper coordination. None of you have any real strategy in this fight. And you still haven't noticed how I'm able to inflict such critical damage on you without even touching you," said Lord RaAvi, his voice deep, calm, and menacing.

"At one point during our physical confrontation, I shrank an element down to a size so small that even gods like you couldn't detect it. Come on, is this a joke? Barios... You're the god of what—natural phenomena? Natural forces? Yet you can't even detect a natural element?" he continued, belittling them.

"He's right... If we want to defeat him, we need better teamwork—better coordination," stated Lord Devara.

"Oh, but it's too late for you, Devara. That's not the only thing that's been planted within you," Lord RaAvi said suddenly, his tone chilling.

But it was too late. Lord Devara realized it only in that final moment—and so did the others. Time seemed to slow as every god turned toward their ally.

Then it happened.
In an instant, Lord Devara's body erupted as a massive planet—previously shrunk and hidden within him—violently expanded back to its original size. The sheer force of the explosion slammed into the other gods, sending them hurtling across the cosmos.

Unable to believe this, Lord Barios, who was usually calm but now enraged, entered a state of uncontrollable fury. He began using his powers at their maximum level, forming a black hole directly on the king of gods. Lord Origama recovered and opened what seemed to be a portal—his new weapon.

"Say hello to my new toy," Lord Origama said, his rage barely contained.

With a flicking motion of his right arm, the portal unleashed a powerful gamma ray burst toward where the king of gods had been pulled in. But he wasn't done. He, too, was going to use one hundred percent of his power. Duplicating many of the same portal, about eighteen appeared, surrounding the king of gods, and once again— with a simple flicking motion—every portal unleashed its burst of devastating energy.
