Re: Player

"Perhaps so. It was the worst mistake history has known. This was also the cause of our downfall," Queina continued…

Luciana returned in the evening.

A long silhouette at a distance was the first thing visible to the gods. Not knowing the destruction they were about to go through, they laughed maniacally.

Their pitiful excitement soured the skies as they waited for their 'prey' to come to their little playground that they had specially set for her.

And perhaps this little play deprived their brain of the thought that they indeed might have fucked up. Because if one looked carefully, then there was already a barrier around the entire town.

And the time inside was a little different from outside.

Luciana walked into the empty town with nothing but the remains of what once was thriving. There were ashes escaping the broken walls, winding around Luciana on the path which she took.

Her eyes looked around a little, but not a single expression appeared on her face. She just kept walking towards the center of the town where the only other living being was present. But that was not all that was there.

Dead bodies. Burnt bodies of those that fed Luciana. Took care of her. Those that laughed and sang with her. Dead bodies of those people were piled up in a circle, creating a ring. At the center of which stood a man in a bluish white robe.

"Hello Miss Luciana Wiregia. I hope you like my present," that blue robed god spoke with an ecstatic look on his face. He was trying to make Luciana have a change of expression.

He wanted to see despair written on her face, while she cried and begged him to spare her. Or perhaps ask him the reason for such actions. He couldn't wait for her to break down while he took her life with that same smile on his face.

"Let's first bring the others here," she spoke as her eyes glowed green and then…

"[Diversification Magic: Collection of Marbles!]" She mumbled as the air reverberated and time began colluding at an insane rate. Everything began trembling rapidly with Luciana at the center, while she just waited.

And then those gods, who were hiding in plain sight, appeared in front of Luciana one by one, standing beside the blue-robed god who just stood there dumbfounded, observing what had just happened.

It all took less than a moment. Before the gods could even think of it, they were there, standing in front of her.

"[Permission to move: Denied!]" She chanted again with those green eyes of hers, and standing she observed those gods unable to move even a single muscle.

Some of them began chanting in their head and were ready to attack Luciana but…

"[Permission to use powers: Denied!]"

All of their magic had ceased. They couldn't use any of their powers. Their eyes were horrified, but they couldn't express it.

They already knew that they fucked up pretty badly. But now they could only stand there. Waiting desperately for the gods who were watching them to come down and help them.

"They won't come. They are cowards who couldn't even dare to step down when I first arrived here. I thought they would greet me and try to stop me again, but I guess they realized my strength and decided to stop me using the laws of the universe," Luciana, who was silent all this time, finally spoke.

Her eyes observed the sky, looking directly into the eyes of the higher gods who were watching her. It was clear as water that she was looking down at them.

"Well. It does not matter much. Since because of your stupidity, I could bypass certain laws and enter heaven itself," she spoke as she smiled. This time a cold and ruthless smile, as if she had finally gained a means to exact her revenge.

And the heavens shook. They didn't know whether she was telling the truth or just bluffing. They didn't have enough liberty to think.

Luciana then looked at those gods in front of her, frozen, observing everything that was going on with a terrified expression. They were afraid, but expressionless. Their minds and souls were shaking, but they couldn't do anything.

Except for maybe having a futile hope that the higher gods would come to save them from this madness.

"[World Command: Extract and Unzip!]" she spoke as she looked at those gods and…

Those gods began breaking into fragments. Their bodies started disintegrating at a rapid speed.

"[World Command: Re-Affirm! Code Negative 1!]" she added.

And those fragments of various colors began reshaping themselves into different shapes and sorts. Her eyes looked at those gods who were losing their existence with a deep smile on her face.

"LUCIANA STOP! THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!!" And I, the Goddess of Space, appeared behind her, as she was extracting those gods.

I wasn't alone as there were other higher gods beside me, but I was the only one capable of running away in case things go wrong, so I began speaking first.

Hoping that we could stop this madness one way or the other, we decided to give everything we could. Or more like we had to give everything we could.

Or else there would be nothing left.

"Too much? It wasn't too much when you gods massacred all of my people. It wasn't too much when you captured me and threw me into that empty dimension, all by myself, to rot? Or perhaps this… this wasn't too much either, was it? To kill all these innocent people who were there just to help a stranger like me?" Luciana looked down on us.

"I… apologize for what happened. We apologize for what we did. We feared you and your unnatural power… we still do. That is why we decided to-" I continued speaking to Luciana, but she chuckled in between making me pause.

"Decided to kill? To massacre my entire family? To kill all the people who were nice to me? Don't you dare mock me, Queina!" She spoke in an enraged voice.

The emotionless girl who only spoke when she needed to, the one who showed little to no emotions… was enraged now.
