Tengen's red star steadily growing into a sun, held aloft by his third arm, shone brilliantly, illuminating the battlefield in an eerie crimson glow. Suddenly, a giant sun materialized above him and launched itself straight at Techxin with devastating force.
But Techxin merely chuckled.
Just as the massive celestial fireball was about to consume him, Techxin swung his axe, and in a single effortless motion, the sun split in half, its twin halves dissolving into flickering embers. Without slowing his pace, Techxin continued walking straight toward Tengen, completely unfazed, as if nothing had happened.
Tengen narrowed his eyes. He raised his hands high, and the red star held by his third arm shone brightly as it grew. It then flashed a bright red light. Ten massive stars appeared in the air, aligning themselves into the shape of a sword.
Two stars formed the grip.
Four stars became the guard, shaping a dimensional outline.
Four more stars made up the blade, their burning light shaping a sword unlike any other.
Then, the stars ignited into a blazing inferno, their flames wrapping around the celestial structure, as it fully forming a sword that could burn the cosmos.
With a another greater flash of red light from the growing star, Five more of these colossal fire swords appeared, floating at Tengen's sides like the arms of a divine executioner.
And then, the red star in Tengen's third hand flashed a blue white light, as the growing star slowly turned blue, as it's growth slowed and the fire of the celestial swords seemed to have their Luster dim slightly.
But Suddenly, all gravity in the arena disappeared.
Techxin's feet left the ground involuntarily, his body floating into the air. At the same moment, Tengen slammed his hand into the ground, sending an enormous wave of debris hurtling toward Techxin like a meteor storm.
Techxin remained calm.
With calculated precision, he swung his axe at the approaching rubble, cutting through it effortlessly. But each time he destroyed a rock, one of Tengen's fire swords would slash at him, forcing him to stay on the defensive.
Techxin's movements were perfect—almost supernatural—but the endless barrage of attacks was beginning to wear him down. A slight miscalculation allowed one of the fire swords to graze his side, a thin line of blood forming along his ribs.
Techxin's grin widened.
Finally, he had enough. He lunged forward, punching Tengen with all his might.
Tengen blocked the punch, his flaming sword clashing against Techxin's axe. But the moment he did, all the remaining fire swords struck at once, forcing Techxin to block. That single opening was all Tengen needed—
With both hands, Tengen clasped his fingers together, and a storm of tiny stars spiraled around his hands.
In an instant the now slow growing blue star flashed a blue light.
As the gravity of Tengen's attack, seemed to be strengthed by an impossibly, heavy and dance, force which perfectly surrounded his hands.
He slammed his attack into Techxin's chest, as the sound of crunching and breaking could be heard as an explosion of pure energy, from the stars that swiftly followed behind.
Techxin was sent crashing into the ground, the impact tearing the battlefield apart. The arena was left in ruins, thick smoke and debris clouding the air.
The King's voice rang through the chaos.
"Four minutes are up!"
Tengen laughed his voice was warped and wobble. Whether it was due to the gravity or due to his new monstrous forms voice box, Maxi could not tell
"Come on Techxin your a BloodHeart aren't ya? GIVE ME ALL YOU'VE GOT, or does all your strength come from your mama, and not YOUR NAME. DOES IT NOT RUN THROUGH THE FAMILYS VAINS, DOES IT NOT COME FROM THE FAMILY NAME, IS IT NOT BORN FROM A NAME. IS IT NOT BORN FROM,
THE NAME
"BLOODHEART."
Then there was a moment of silence that fell.
Which was interrupted
—a voice.
A single, haunting chant, softly spoken by one of Maxi's siblings, a young girl.
"Blood for the Blood God, Blood for the Blood God, Blood for the Blood God, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD."
Other siblings joined in repeating in a chear or chant
Maxi saw Techxin mother say the phrase, even some of his stepmothers
The chants grew louder and more synchronized, to the point Maxi caught himself trying to say the phrase.
then
A voice screamed in a beast like roar
So high pitched so loud it sounded painful
But those features only served to make the words it screamed more
Terrifying
More
Blood chilling
The phrase that that monstrous voice scream was
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!"
It was Techxin's voice
It erupted from the rubble, echoing through the battlefield.
Techxin rose from the debris, his entire aura transformed. His eyes burned crimson, and his presence alone made the air feel thick as iron.
"BLESSING ENLIGHTEN."
A dreadful pressure filled the arena, something ancient and horrific awakening. Everyone in the audience, his siblings, his stepmothers, and his father, the king, instinctively covered their ears, their bodies reacting to a fear they long known.
Maxi looked around in confusion, unsure of why everyone was afraid. But then—he heard them.
The whispers.
A low, inhuman voice repeated the words "Blood for the Blood God" over and over again, a sound that threatened to drive him insane.
Maxi's maid, Angelina, saw his face twisting in terror and quickly shoved earplugs into his hands. Maxi barely had time to shove them in his ears, and even then, he covered his ears on top of them, trying to block out the whispers before they could reach him again.
Tengen, however, had no such luxury.
He could hear them.
Even for someone of his strength, the whispers were corrupting, clawing at his mind. His vision blurred for just a second—
And that second was all Techxin needed.
The battlefield changed.
All around, 6 blood pickaxes were framed from Techxin's blood. They then flyed up and shot themselves into 6 different directions, as they, like anvils Fell down to the ground
Techxin in tandem with the pick axes rates his leg to its beak and brought it down at the same time as the pickaxes
gaint craters were then created on the already broken, battle grounds.
The whole battle grounds began to shoke.
Maxi found himself having to stop blocking his ears, and hold onto the chear arm rests instead.
Then Enormous blood geysers erupted from the crater of the blood pickaxes, the crimson liquid shooting into the air, creating a rain of blood that ignored the zero gravity. The entire arena floor became a pool of thin red liquid, spreading across the battlefield.
The scene looked as if Techxin pickaxes had actually caused the earth itself to bleed
Techxin stepped forward.
He emerged from one of the blood geysers he created, his fingers clutching the top half of a mask—a boar's head, its tusks curved and jagged, completely made of blood.
Techxin stared at the mask for a moment.
Then, with a slow, deliberate movement, he placed it over his face.
And at that moment—all the lights in the arena went out.
Darkness.
Only a few things remained visible in the void.
1. The blue star that was now just a few more minutes away from turning into a fully sun.
2. The five massive fire swords, their flames flickering in the suffocating darkness.
3. Techxin's eyes—two glowing crimson orbs - more monstrous than human.
The blood continued to fall, sizzling as it touched the fire swords, steam rising where the two forces met.
Tengen clenched his jaw and commanded his fire swords to strike.
Seeing his gravity powers weren't working as intended decided to switch between the two mid combat.
So, the slow growing blue star, then flash a white ish red light, which made the star turn red and start to grow faster. The cosmic Fire swords fire gained, there celestial laster again, as thier fire roared with it's former strength.
But before they could land a attack, a blood pickaxe was shoot out of the blood geyser and hit the ground infrount of Techxin
As one of Tengen's, now stronger fire swords flew to hit Techxin
The ground start to bleed as a blood geyser exploded beneath the swords, extinguishing its flames instantly.
Another sword attacked
but a massive blood-formed axe blocked its strike.
A third sword came for Techxin's feet, but he merely raised his foot, stepping on the blade, stopping it dead in its tracks. Two gigantic blood hands rose from the ground, grabbing the sword and holding it still.
Techxin stepped forward, walking on the rising blood geysers as if they were solid platforms. The zero gravity no longer affecting him mad it seem like, he was an elegance Butcher going to slaughter the rowdy lamb.
Tengen growled, with a manic grin.
"Thats it, thats what I have been waiting for, show me why you have that name, show me why it's so renowned. Show me the true power
OF
Techxin Bloodheart
With a mighty roar, he grabbed the last two remaining fire swords and charged Techxin head-on. His blades swung in deadly arcs, ready to end this.
His growing red star flashed a white blue ligh as it turned blue and increase the force of his attack and momentum making him going at a nearly unbelievable speed.
Techxin didn't move, nore react with any emotion.
With a single, effortless swing of his blood axe, he slashed in Tengen's general direction.
And in an instant—over a thousand slashes appeared across Tengen's body.
Blood poured from his wounds, his body trembling from the sheer force of the attack. But Tengen didn't fall. He forced himself forward as the momentum did not stop,
His slow growing blue star flashed a white ish red light as it turned red increase the power of the celestial swords.
swinging his swords one last time might slash.
The slash was so great that it made everything in its path ether be reduced to dust to burn into ash
But despite the greatness of the slash it was fruitless as it's inevitably did not land or meet it's target.
Techxin was expressionless, as he raised his axe to Tengen's head.
A single slash.
A slash so great that it made Tengen's pail in comparison as it was cut through like batter
And unlike Tengen's slash it meet it's mark.
The next moment—Tengen's head flew from his body.
No blood spilled.
Silence.
Techxin red eyes never left where Tengen's head....
Once, was
As his red eyes pierced through the darkness
Techxin said "I told you, I'd might have to kill you"
"FIVE MINUTES UP!" the King announced.
The crowd stood in stunned silence, the battlefield quiet and still.
The king and Techxin look at the head of Tengen as they look at it with suspicion
And as Tengen's head flew down and locked eyes with Techxin
A manic grin was on the head a grin that suggested it was the Victory
Techxin turn his his head to the side to see Tengen's monstrous body throwing a left hook
The King raised his hand, his voice echoing through the arena.
"THE WINNER IS TECHXIN BLOODHEART!!!"
