Heavenly Opposers

Xiao staying straight gazed at the arrows that were fast approaching him, time seemed to slow down as he peered into the hundreds of arrows that were already upon him, a fire lit up from his body within less than a second, the fire burning away all the arrows that wished him harm, it was a mixture of both purple and black.

For with only two of them combining was it possible for the void Qi arrows to be burned, as Xiao continues to awaken his flame a hint of his hair always turns to its color, by now Xiao had very small patches of purple added to his hair, a mixture of white, black and purple dominated his head,

"You're right, this is fun"

Teresa spoke as she blocked the purple-colored sword with the edge of her bow, the purple flame spreading to her, trying to burn her away, she wasn't given time as Xiao's left hand arrived with the flame of death, inching towards her heart, Teresa's eyes narrowed as the third eye on her forehead lit up in grey.

Xiao's senses screamed danger as he disappeared, stopping his attack and arriving back at where he stood, the ground cracked, and his eyes narrowed as he saw the place where he stood disintegrating, becoming nothing but particles,

"Not bad, kid"

Teresa praised as hundreds of such lights started to leave her third eye, their speed faster than one could imagine, to this Xiao smiled as the two flames on his swords hummed in desire, both of the blazing hotter as he moved his hands, deflecting each of the strikes with both his swords, he stood there at his place as both of his swords moved in a fluid motion.

Ting!....Ting!.....Ting!.....Ting!....

A circle-like dorm seemed to form around him as he kept waving the sword, his flames burning away the Qi that dared to harm the one they love, it was rapid as Xiao didn't move an inch not a single ray was capable of passing him as they were all met with his sword and finally after the 30th ray the blasting stopped.

Each of them still stood at a distance apart, their smiles now becoming identical, right now was just a small adjustment, a teasing to see each others beginning,

"Hope you don't disappoint"

Teresa said with a teasing smile as her body started to be covered with strange grey Qi, creating over her a battle-like armor, her horns grew larger, while she too increased a bit in size, beautiful grey wings burst forth from her back, both of them gracefully flapping themselves, a scaly dark tail appeared behind Teresa, the tail filled with spikes while in the end, it stopped with an arrow like symbol, perfect for piercing.

"When I was born all of the void realms trembled"

Teresa spoke, her transformation still taking place as all around her small portals started to open, the grey battle dress tightening around her, while the black color in her third eye on her forehead withdrew away,

"It was a time when war nigh and being born weak was a sin that none could bear"

She spoke with nostalgia, the whole of the realm trembling, the hundreds of portals opening, as bizarre creatures started to walk out of them, all of them having grey skins, a single grey honor grew on their forehead, they had humanoid shape with long nails and a single eyes with a mouth, a mouth so big that it could open up to swallow a single person, teeth filling its mouth to its inside neck,

"I have faced more challenges than you can imagine, walked on corpses of my enemies and friends until my name made even the gods weary"

The beasts as if by instincts started to walk behind Teresa, forming an army of thousands, the wings behind her opened wide, showing its every evolution for death, its ends being razor sharp, fangs started to proud from Teresa's mouth, venom dipping in them,

"In the age of slaughter I was among the three strongest to ever exist, all those that challenged me fading back to death, my powers grew until the realm of the void itself made me its monarch"

Teresa's transformation by now had finished, her long grey hair sharpening into blades that could kill, the grey armory making her deadly yet beautiful, the two horns on her that head looked cute grew with a sharpness to kill with a Peirce,

"They all called me a genius but did they see what I had lost? did they know the betrayal and death I had to go through? did they see how hard I worked to the point of dying to be strong?"

A certain Qi leaving Teresa as it started to infuse into the begins behind her, making them howl out as they started to shake, their body enlarging to about 10 meters tall, strength filling them as their very presence inspired fear, their mouth looking deadlier than ever,

"Massacre was my friends and power was my salvation, I grew till the point that the heavens had to acknowledge who I am, until it had to bestow me a name that trembled the generations to come, I am....

....Void Empress Of Endless End"

Just saying her name, across the real Void realm everything trembled, the commoners, the ruler to the god, each of them felt themselves be suppressed, Teresa smirked pointing her hand towards Xiao,

"I can enter any realm I want and kill, I take realms and destroy them, dry up life and crumble them, I am arrogant? then tell me who are you?"

Teresa asked Xiao who by now pointed both his swords down, his eyes at the beautiful yet deadly woman, whose each body part could kill, behind her stood a humongous army that if unleashed could wipe out life on the lower heaven and Xiao knew that these were just babies she could summon with her powers restricted to his,

'So you wish a battle of identity and power?'

Xiao mused, the talk she did wasn't random, it was the words of pride, each of her sentences was a declaration of who she is, the words representing how much she had worked to get here, it was her arrogance.

In other words, this was a fight with her pride on the line, it was also of one where she had a put on the name she had earned, telling who she truly is, in return Xiao needs to speak for who he really is, and what he is. Basically, she was using this chance to pull out his real backing for if he were to accept this challenge he would be putting in Reaper's name into this.

It was a fight of fate and pride, something which Xiao could refuse but in doing so it would bring down the power of the name that Death held, in reality, it wasn't much to Xiao or Reaper, for Teresa's value was just shit in front of the power that Reaper holds.

The power she built upon will only collapse on itself but Xiao didn't do so, he raised his head as he leveled with the woman in front of him, even more than her scheme what he could see was a true will to battle, a twinkle in her eyes from finding a worthy foe to fight, the third eye now had become completely grey, while her two eyes became filled with slits horizontally and vertically, making a cross.

Xiao had fought many battles, some prideful, some cheap and some deceitful but he had never enjoyed or danced upon his kill, for he knew when he kills he takes away the future of another, Xiao was a villain, someone born from circumstances,

"Your arrogance is well placed, who am I?"

Xiao asked, the skies around the realm turning dark, black never-ending darkness now radiating from him, blasting forth around and behind him, Teresa's momentum took a back seat, as from everywhere Xiao stood to his back turned darker than the abyss, notification of All-Seer passing in front him.

[The First Darkness Born From Death Awakens]

[The Warriors Of Valhalla responds to your plea!]

[The walkers of Death heed your call]

[The 21 lords that reign and guard over death and hell feel the realm of death being challenged]

[The beings Of Death Now Stands Behind Their Prince]

Under Teresa's widening eyes the darkness behind Xiao started to swirl around, a humongous dark palace arose from the darkness, its door having a huge lock on them which started to shake and crack before breaking apart, the huge black door trying its best to open.

[The host currently lacks enough power to pull out all the warriors in Valhalla, just one shall exit]

And just as promised just one did, one that changed the atmosphere.
