The void of space was as dark and as silent as always, until there was a sudden bright flash of light, followed by a silent explosion that released shockwaves strong enough to send a few planets out of orbit.
From the center of this explosion, five figures fell out powerlessly, crashing down on a nearby half-destroyed planet.
The force from their fall, increased the damage it suffered, breaking off more of the already broken planet.
As for the states of the figures who fell, they were not any better than that of the planet they fell on. When the dust and smoke cleared up, the five beings that fell could be seen more clearly. They were all beaten, battered, and bruised with multiple injuries that would require years to recover from.
If one was to look around them, it could be seen that the broken planet they were on was one of the few within sight as every other planet or star that might have existed in the area alongside its inhabitants, had already been long turned into space dust.
The dying star that once lit up this star system brightly was the closest source of light in the area, looking further, there were a few more stars and planets that were lucky to not be hit by the earlier explosion, and the shockwaves released.
A few monts after the fall of these five beings, they seed to have regained consciousness and struggled to get up to their feet, despite their horrible states. The lighter injuries on their bodies, had miraculously begun recovering at a visible rate, however, the more serious ones, showed no signs of doing the sa.
In fact, they seed to be getting even worse as the amount of blood that seeped through them, was gradually increasing to the point that it beca a wonder why they weren't passing out due to anemia.
The five finally managed to get up to their feet, fully revealing their faces as they cleaned off the dust, dirt, and dried blood from their faces.
They then all made various gestures, summoning their unique weapons which they proceeded to grip tightly.
|Godslayer!!!|
One of the five beings bellowed out with rage, his voice being loud enough to be heard across the broken planet, as storm clouds appeared and lightning dropped from the skies to the ground. The small glow on his weapon, intensified as if responding to its master's rage.
|No need to shout so loud, I can hear you just fine.|
A voice replied to him as a sixth figure descended from the skies, amidst the rain of lightning, and landed on the ground, just like the other five had done earlier.
The difference, however, was that this sixth being was descending of his own free will and wasn't even the slightest bit injured, even after going through the rain of lightning.
In fact, this sixth being was the culprit and the reason for the injures of the other five. He yawned as he looked down on them with a condescending gaze before comnting.
|Still, this is quite the pitiful state for the great universal masters to be in, I wonder how your subordinates, followers, and believers would react if they were to witness this.|
And just like so, his words revealed the shocking identities of these five injured beings.
Universal Masters!
The five injured beings were ones who ruled entire universes, the kings of their respective pantheons. They were gods worshipped by quintillions of beings, known for their great power influence that the very ntion of their nas would cause most enemies to flee with their tails tucked firmly between their legs.
The first of these five beings, was the King of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a group of gods that ruled the universe known as Erin. He was a man fair and tall, with a great head of curly yellow hair. He wore a red-gold battle armor reaching to his knees with a torn green mantle wrapped around him and a cracked brooch of white silver in the mantle over his chest.
Held firmly in his right hand, was a white sword, shining with enough light to blind the eyes of any normal person who dared to look at it, his fad sword; Claimhb Solais.
This man, was the Sun god and god of light, Lugh.
Beside Lugh, was the Monarch of the Rorsk Universe. He donned a segnted cuirass armor, consisting of tal strips fashioned into circular bands, fastened to internal leather straps. In his hand was a long spear, its length was twice the height of an average man, and it had a jagged tip that spat out lightning occasionally.
The god of the sky and thunder, Jupiter.
Next was the Chief of the Divines who ruled the Universe, Oblivion. A man with slightly pointed ears and white skin, donning a bronze battle armor that covered most of his body. He gripped in his hands, a dark gold bow nad Auri-El. It had a thin string that did not seem capable of being used to pull any arrows, however, the mysterious aura the bow gave off would make one think otherwise.
The injuries on his body were slowly being erased, owing to his nature as a god of Ti. His na, Alkosh.
The fourth was the leader of the Aesir god tribe and the Master of Asgard. A tall old man with a flowing beard and only one eye, the other, covered by an eyepatch. Held in his hands with its tip pointing towards the sixth being who just descended, was a spear that looked like it was made of wood. A golden jewel resembling a closed eye rested just below the head of the spear, making one wonder what would happen if it were to ever open.
A god of war and victory, Odin.
Last was the King of the Olympians and the master of Olympus. With long withe hair that had blue highlights, and similarly colored eyes, he wore a sky blue colored armor with a semi-torn cape attached to it. His right hand gripped his legendary lightning bolt, Astrape.
He was one of the most famous gods of all ti, Zeus.
As he stared at the pitiful states these five great beings were in, the one referred to as the 'Godslayer' spoke with an exasperated tone.
|You brought this upon yourselves, didn't you?
I would not have had any problems with you if you all had simply let live in peace. My father is one of you after all.
However, you were the ones who aid for my life first in the na of your so-called 'Justice'.
Did you really expect to take out so easily, furthermore, did you really expect that I would not retaliate?|
Jupiter's expression contorted upon hearing the 'Godslayer's' words while gritting his teeth, he replied.
| You are a being prophesied to bring destruction wherever you go, even if we did not attack you first others surely would have.|
|The scenery around us is a good example, almost everything has already been turned to dust, and this entire galaxy is now nothing more than an empty husk.| added Alkosh.
| Don't speak as if you all did not have a hand in bringing this poor unknown galaxy to its untily end.
Besides, the only reason I started all this destruction you speak of is simply because you gods kept coming after , ti and ti again. In the process of trying to prevent your stupid prophecy, you only hastened its fulfillnt, fools!|
The Godslayer shot back in rage, he then took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing.
|I am getting bored of this, you should have bought enough ti for your lighter injuries to recover by now, right?
I am getting serious now.|
Right after he spoke, the aura he emitted changed rapidly. He briefly closed his eyes and a multicolored light covered his body for a short mont. When it finally died down, his appearance had changed.
He now donned a black knights/military uniform with gold highlights. A black cape rested on his shoulders, flowing in the space between the five pairs of wings that sprouted from his back.
The gold highlights of his silver hair lit up with a dim glow, alongside the rune symbol on the side of his face.
Stretching his hand forward, he called forth his own weapon.
|Co forth, C??????????????e??????l????????????????e????????????????????????s???????????????t??????????i????????????????????a????????????????????l??????????????????? ???????????????????D??????a????????????????r???????????????????k???????n?????????????????e??????????????????????????????s?????s???????|
As soon as he said that, there was sudden darkness. The lights of the few remaining stars suddenly went out like a candle that had been blown by the wind.
The figures of the universal masters who were about to charge in towards him in an attempt to disrupt his summoning stopped in their tracks as they tried to comprehend the true cause of the sudden darkness.
This darkness spread out to the ends of the universe before beginning to recede and converging at a single point right in front of the godslayer.
It then turned into a translucent jet black sword with gold lines running through it like veins and various runic languages on it.
The sword floated silently in the air, emitting an aura that made the universal masters looking at it question if such a weapon was even allowed to exist.
Grabbing this sword, the 'Godslayer' then pointed it towards the universal masters who had slightly begun to regret their previous actions.
|En garde.|
Those were his only words as he blitzed towards the beings in front of him at the speed of light.

Many of you reading this are prow baby wondering 'how?'
How this being known as the 'Godslayer' was able to reduce such powerful gods to their current physical states and make them feel the fear of death.
For that, we would have to go down mory lane, back to a thousand years ago, to the ti period a certain prophecy was given.
