The dragon which I suspected to be Lilinor turned its head towards me inquisitively.
âLilinor? Never heard that name. Are these crude traps your doing? They couldnât possibly be the work of these ratmen.â
The dragon known as Abaddon crushed the traps before her with a swish of her tail.
âHmm, although she looks similar to Lilinor, sheâs much stronger.â
âEvelysla, shoot!â
âGot it!â
Zzziiiiing
As soon as she pressed the trigger, a light began to form at the end of the gun.
âEveryone close your eyes!â
âYes!â
Spppat, Quaaaaa
In the next moment, the Hyper-Extinction gun fired and hit Abaddonâs group.
âLena!â
Iâve set up our strongest shields, the aftershocks should en in 30 seconds, 29 done!
After a short time all light disappeared and only a pitch black sphere remained floating in mid-air.
âWhat is that?â
âPerhaps itâs an ensemble of miniature black holes which have surpassed a critical mass.â
Lena did her best to explain the situation, but it was at best just a theory.
âWell Iâve got a bad feeling about this, get ready to hit them once more, Evelysla!â
âOkay!â
The Extinction gun fired once more.
âWeâve created another crater.â
When the dust resulting from the second shot cleared, a shadow began to form.
âWas it not effective?â
Swooosh!
A claw emerged from the black sphere, followed by the rest of the dragon Abaddonâs body.
âOh, this is much more interesting than I expected! Should I change my mind? No wonder Sha and L summoned you here. HAHAHA!â
Abaddon booming laughter assaulted our ears.
âUgh this guy is really noisy.â
As I was grumbling to myself, two lightning fast shadows made their way towards the imposing dragon.
Zzzhaa, Quaaaaaa! Phaazz
Odinâs Mjlnir and Oberonâs Excalibur both left a mark on dragon claw.
âEven these weapons are exceptional, is it also your work?â
Abaddon asked me with a relaxed smile.
âDonât get too comfortable! Lena, hit it!â
âYep!â
The spacetime trap which I had hidden amongst the others was instantly activated. Even if he had a monstrous magic ability, it wouldnât be effective when caught inside this array, so I felt I had finally achieved something.
âOh, have you confined me to a trap based on time?â
Abaddonâs body which remained frozen inside the array, was able to communicate with me telepathically.
âDamn, so it doesnât fully restrict him.â
I couldnât help but let out a groan as I witnessed him rolling his eyes in a mocking expression.
âWell Iâll admit that you were able to restrict me somewhat, but my servants have already passed through into this universe, so my end goal will be achieved.â
âYour minions, what about them?â
I pointed to the dragon-like creatures which had been trapped in mid-air.
âAre you saying that you prepared more than one of these traps?â
âNaturally since I knew that you wouldnât be coming alone, I kept some hidden cards.â
âKukuku you indeed prepared thoroughly, but there is one thing that you overlooked.â
âWhatâs that?â
âThe time period that this trap can hold me is quite short.â
âTrue, but the time it take to set up a new trap around you is shorter than the time it takes you to break out, so I can do this indefinitely. Lena?â
âOn it!â
âI raised my hand and created a magic stone out of thin air. Then, along with Lenaâs assistance I set up a new trap to go off as soon as the other expired.
âWhat do you think? It took 2 minutes and 40 seconds to set up, but how long does it take you to break free?â
âDammit! Youâre cheating!â
I shook my head and responded with a silly expression.
âIn war there is no right and wrong, only the victors.â
âI now know why Sha and L summoned you here, youâre my natural nemesis.â
âNatural nemesis?â
âA person who can wield a wide array of skills can occasionally suppress a user like myself who focuses on only the most powerful magic like myself. They must have called you back form the future.â
âWas it like that? In fact it wasnât even my original intention to interfere. I just couldnât bear to see you bully a young lady like her.â
I said as I stroked Evelyslaâs head.
The next second Abaddonâs expression changed into a mischievous smile.
âWell have you had fun with this little game of yours?â
She suddenly reappeared outside of the array.
âHow?â
âOneâs eyes are easily deceived, I simply showed you want you wished to see. Did you enjoy the show?â
Abaddon huge body flicker with unmatched speed until her jaws appeared just 3 meters before me.
âDamn you Abaddon!â
I hid Evelysla behind me and stood up proudly.
Shwaaa Quaaaa
âI allowed it you to harm me once, but there wonât be a second time!â
Abaddon swatted Odin and Oberon away like flies.
âYou are interesting though, at first I planned on destroying the universe, but if there is an fascinating guy like you around it might be worth sparing. Perhaps I can enjoy the show a little longer.â
Dozens of thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to find a solution. It seemed to be willing to put off the destruction of the entire universe on a mere whim, then why not up the stakes and make it truly interesting.
âAbaddon, is the destruction of the universe just a game to you?â
I asked in a reproachful tone.
âRight, this space created by Sha and L is irksome and their lifeforms are boring so I was going to erase it.â
âWhy is that, are you jealous of Sha and L?â
âHa ha ha! Me! Jealous of them? Ha ha ha!â
âArenât Sha and L stronger than you?â
âTheyâre stronger than me? Ha ha ha! Where are they then? Iâve just returned but theâve fled with their tail between their legs. Theyâre afraid of me.â
âWhy would they be afraid of you, arenât they your parents?â
âWhat my parents?â
Abaddon stared at me dangerously.
âIs that not the case?â
I asked, carefully testing the waters.
âMy parents were the most powerful beings in all the universes, Omniscience and Omnipotence. Those twisted Sha and L attempted to steal their powers but failed to make it their own and in the end I inherited it. Ha ha Sha and L being my parents, what a joke!â
Her angry laughter was so loud it threatened to burst my eardrums.
âOkay, okay, lower your voice Iâm willing to hear your version of the story, Abaddon.â
âWhy would I care about that when Iâll soon be destroying this entire place?â
âBecause before you do Iâll show you something interesting.â
âWhat could you possibly amuse me with, I who has inherited such almighty powers?â
I stared at him directly in the eyes.
âQuit your lies, you are neither as omniscient nor omnipotent as you might claim to be, else I wouldnât be able to stand against you.â
Abaddon peered at me with great interest.
âOkay, for arguments sake letâs agree that what you said is true. I can still easily destroy this entire universe, doesnât that mean that Iâm all powerful?â
I shook my head.
âIf you were truly the Almighty then youâd be able to create something larger and better than all this. To destroy is easy, but to create is far more difficult.â
âHo ho thatâs quite interesting, then why is it that you think that I canât create new things?â
I squirmed in delight, knowing I had him hooked.
âJust wait a moment, Material Creation!â
After a few dozen times Iâd made a large rectangular board.
âWhat are you doing?â
âJust wait a bit, Iâm not done yet.â
Evelysla and the ratmen held their breaths nervously as they watched me work. Meanwhile Abaddon peered towards me, half suspicious and the other half curious.
âDone!â
âWhat is that supposed to be?â
I looked towards Abaddon imposingly.
âA tool to prove that you are not omniscient and omnipotence!â
