Planets were reduced to ashes and stars were no different from fireworks. What was, wasn't, and what wasn't, was. Those were few of the many outcomes of a confrontation between 2 Gods.
"Life is a game of chance", The pale man with blonde hair and black eyes which were as lifeless as the planets they had destroyed, stared down at a God who he deemed no longer worthy for such a prestigious title.
"Living means increasing the odds and evens to your favor. You were lucky enough to be born as the first son of the Supreme One, thus gaining most of his strength and abilities. But you gave it all up...for what?"
The pale man stomped on the defeated God's chest, pressing down his right boot until he shattered a rib. The helpless God coughed out blood, and groaned in agony. His vision was blurry but he still could make out the anger on the face of the other God who towered over him. He could feel the intense aura the pale God let out.
"You've gotten... stronger since the last time....I...saw you.... brother", struggled the defeated God. Each word seemed proving more difficult to say.
"Or you've gotten weaker...elder brother" , the Pale God put his left hand on the right pocket of his torn, sleeveless, black cloak and took out a coin. He fiddled with it.
"I think it's about time we ended this, brother. Like I said...life is but a game of chance. Right now, the odds are stacked against you...you are destined to die." He looked straight at the God below his boot. He felt pity, he felt pain ...he felt anger. "But I,Yama, am a God of balance. I will make the odds 50-50. This coin will either save or take your life. That's fair, even for a disgrace like you."
The God below had finally stopped struggling...he looked straight at Yama, the pale God, and said nothing. "Heads means you die and tails means your pitiful life will be spared" he looked down at the God below who was also staring straight at him. Whooosh! The coin went flying, turning multiple times before making it's way back to Yama's right hand. As it landed on the right hand, Yama quickly covered it with his left palm.
"If you want to say something, you better say it now because I won't give you a chance to say your last words...if it's heads."
"Your eyes are as pretty as ever" uttered the God below...he saw a tear cascading from his youngest brother's pure black eye but Yama wiped it quickly, trying to hide it from him.
"Enough chat" Yama opened revealed the coin. Heads. He looked down at his defeated older brother. "The Odds and the evens want you to die...so be it" he drew a dagger the back pocket of his black cloak and swiftly threw it straight to the fallen god's head". Pluck! The dagger dug on the fallen God's forehead. Blood oozed out.
Dead.
From the darkness behind Yama, 2 figures arose. "It's done... behead him and bring his head to my realm. It will serve as proof to the other Gods that the mission has been completed. The unfit God has perished." Yama ordered as he left behind the corpse of the Dead God for the 2 figures to deal with.
"Yes, my Lord" , replied both the figures.
"To think, he'd actually trade half his powers to save his mortal world and wife. Why brother?" Tears began to cascade. Yama turned back and looked at earth and looked at it's moon, the place where he had killed off his brother. His right index finger glowed purple.
He drew an X, using his index finger.... tearing the dimension thus opening a portal for him to travel back to his own realm.
He walked in the portal, the 2 figures followed him with the beheaded head inside a transparent cube.The portal closed as they all disappeared inside it.
Location: Mars
"Lord Musha, your clone was killed by your younger brother-Yama." A beautiful woman bowed as she told the figure sitting on a rock which was carved to look like a chair.
"Is that so?"
"But of course, you already knew that since you share a vision with the clone" continued the female who was still bowing. She had long golden hair, tied on the back to make a bun. She had a light complexion and her whole armor which covered her from chest to knee was golden.
"He has really grown strong...my younger brother" uttered the figure who looked exactly like the God that was defeated a while ago
"You know, you can't avoid the God Court forever...by trading half of your powers...you committed a grave felony . The court will not be fooled for long. They'll come back for you. And seeing you are this weakened...I fear, what happened to the clone will happen to you"
"Do not worry, Lina...I will fix this" uttered Musha. He stood up, revealing his long blue cloak. Unlike the worn out blue cloak he wore during the confrontation, this one was neat, truly befitting a God. He also had long, smooth, white hair. He wore shiny silver bracelets.
"What now?" Questioned Lina?
"Now we recover my powers from Death for she didn't meet her end of the bargain. I still lost my wife even after I had given her what she wanted"
"You can't possibly hope to defeat Death itself, my Lord" warned Lina.
"Get up my child, it'll be a long journey ." he smirked.
