The Rise Of Calamity

"Alrighty, boys and girls! I am bored as fuck so how about we play another game" I released all my repressed bloodlust at the same time before spreading my arms out wide and smiling sinisterly.

"Let us call this time... Hair's breadth" I lifted my arm up and pointed towards the sky.

At the same time, everyone felt the mana leave their vicinity while being directed towards my hand, making everything under my presence shudder for the umpteenth time at what they were about to see.

Everyone watched as a candle sized flame appeared atop of the middle of my palm, unmoving yet radiating with a majestic blue light.

The candle sized flame slowly rose up and began to spin into a fireball that eventually began to leave the center of my palm and circle around my hand instead. After completing a full horizontal orbit, the blue flame with minimal signs of white had light up, this time being mostly white with traces of gold.

Meanwhile, on the ground, all the beasts were retreating or attacking, either running as far away as possible or attacking the first person or thing they saw, wanting to die in honor of fighting for their race and species. The golden gorilla was one of the ones that had chosen to run away.

The flame yet again completed another orbit around my hand, this time the gold within the flame had become much more prominent, and finally after the 6th orbit, the golden energy and color had become the only thing coming from the flame at the moment.

"Divine flames" I muttered as I closed my eyes and remembered one of my favorite scenes from one of the animes I watched as a kid.

Lifting a single finger up, I crossed my legs while standing up straight before looking down at the beasts that were running away with the elegance of an emperor looking down on an enemy nation.

"Supernova"

The small marble-sized golden fireball began to enlarge at a terrifying rate, to the point it had become over 75 meters in diameter within the span of a second or two.

From the beasts who looked back and felt the energy coming off the supernova, most of them halted and accepted their fates while a small minority began to fly or run away at their maximum speed without stopping. Fear and dread was evident in their eyes while at the same time, hope was one of the most prominent emotion in those that had not looked back yet even after feeling so many termoiling emotions

Flicking my index finger forwards, I watched as the huge ball of flames moved towards the huge crowd of beasts trying to escape, yet even with its size, the ball of fire moved forwards without stopping at a speed no one would have expected it to move.

"oh my god..."

"God?"

"A goddess has emerged from among us!"

"Isn't that Lilith? The demon in disguise? Wasn't she supposed to be evil and thirsty for human blood?"

"OH MY GOD! IT'S HER! IT'S LILITH!"

Many people had questions before, but after feeling slightly safer, they were finally able to ask them out loud without causing anyone death.

Before anyone else could speak any more words of astonishment, the golden gorilla had jumped off the ground with an extremely large amount of mana and soul energy covering its fist.

It was an amount that I would not have expected to see from anyone within the Gaseous stage, but at the same time, it was not in the liquidus stage.

Instead, the power of the attack was somewhere in the middle, making me widen my eyes in astonishment at the seemingly final technique that the gorilla had used to destroy the supernova I had thrown at it.

'It's putting its life on the line, and for what? These weak beasts that are going to eventually die anyway?' Without knowing it, I had formed a bead of respect for the gorilla, but that was all it was, just a bead.

'Well, it's not like he can destroy my attack anyway-' I tried to shrug what I saw off, but the moment its fist had landed on the supernova, a chain reaction of dozens of waves shot throughout the entire ball like ripples in a still lake.

The same amount of mana and soul energy appeared on its other had before throwing it towards the ball of golden flames with everything it had.

*BOOM*

*BOOOM*

*BOOOOM*

Every hit became stronger and stronger until the point where my attack had almost become unstable from the ripples that had been appearing all of it but that was not it.

My eyes once again widened in surprise before a soft gasp left my mouth.

'It's burning its soul?'

I watched as its soul flamed slowly grew smaller in size, the flickers becoming weaker while the radiance significantly dropped after each punch.

'Well, this is going to be quite tragic... won't it' I sighed and simply watched as the gorilla barely destroyed the ball of flames that I had thrown at it and its brethren.

This was the least I could do after seeing the amount of humanity it had shown, something that actual humans do not want to recognize.

Honestly, to call what it had done an act of 'humanity' would disrespect everything it had done for its race and its people, as I could not imagine a human doing the same thing for anyone else, especially when some might be of other races while others might be people they did not even know.

Finally, after waiting for a bit, the soul flame of the gorilla had finally died out, allowing me to see his prideful figure stand there without moving a single inch, unwilling to move out of the way even in death.

[You respect him...] Hela pointed out after being silent for most of the massacre, playing nothing but one of my favorite tracks, Rasputin, made back in the early 80s. And while yes, I might have not been born then, I could still enjoy the classics.

"Well, because of that I don't feel like killing the rest of you" I sighed in disappointment with a mixture of worry within it.
