The explosion continued to spread far and wide, destroying every astral body in its path as it's range grew larger by the second. It went from being harmless to becoming a threat to the very Multiverse itself. Within that very moment, Big Zee shared her immeasurable mastery over Mental Zenchi and it's vision with me. It allowed us to see Ri-ohhanna and Melumini'itii using the concepts of Impairment and Extinction to cancel the explosion. Ridding this multiverse of its effects and it's presence altogether. Just after that, we could see Heemy and Primoz completely healed, but Heemy had Primoz over his shoulder. Walking forward next to smiling Ri-ohhanna and Melumini'itii. They slapped each other's hands then did a back handed slap, followed by one more clap that turned into a shake. Then they snapped their fingers just after that, laughing as they pay Heemy on his back. Easy to say that I was thoroughly relieved by this development.
Heemy and the others walked into the ship to settle down. We now had all sixteen captains we've collected thus far. Leaving only four clans left within the verse for us to visit, and those include the; Erasure Clan, Erasareem-Sect, Big-Bang Clan, Biggetta Bangstrom, Molecular Breakdown Clan, Molecularum Breakadia, Disassemble Clan, Disassembatumn. And we just recruited six more members now that includes; Primoz Decay from Decadia Deus, Timozzia Extermaniiin from Exterminaught Alpha, Theodore Decimaeno from Decimaten'Mohan, Melumini'itii Extincti'ii from Extincti'ii Fiitti, Timone Dismantlaarhg from Dismantlaarhg itself, and finally Seikosen Teiko from Obliterichi Teikoku. Sixteen powerful members ready to protect the verse from whatever threat it may face.
Now we can focus on getting to the remaining clans once we all get our required rest. Oh, and Heemy and Primoz get new clothes tailored by Seikosen. She's quite the specialist when it comes to that. Timone is also quite the specialist when it comes to repairing weapons. He dreams of being able to meet Lady Betsalynn Hagerds one day. Which is going to be great for him, seeing as I have tickets for all of us to get Legendary-Grade weapons made by her. A perfect team coming together all around if I do say so myself. That same team would make its way to the first of the four remaining clans after two whole hours of rest, relaxation, and getting to know one another.
Like, for instance, I learned that Ri-ohhanna, Melumini'itii, Sinnthia, and Primoz are all specialists in multiple weapon disciplines. Whilst Dila, Shi'Ho-ho, Timozzia, Theodore, and even the Shattashoust twins are all specialists in multiple martial arts disciplines just like Heemy and I. So we all looked forward to when the team would be complete and we could all train together. Learn from one another and share our boundless knowledge amongst the group to increase our overall resonance and compatibility. But first came getting to Biggetta Bangstrom, the Big-Bang Clan. I was informed by Theodore that a powerful Goddess at the age of twenty-one resides there. Supposedly her name is Kolipso Marza Bangstrom II, and she is a master of the power Cosmic and it's totality as a concept. A concept I've been dying to learn about and one I wish to master in due time. So easy to say, I was highly interested in her above all else. And luckily for me, it was the closest clan to Decadia Deus, taking our hyperspace jumping ship only an hour or so to make its way towards a clan that's hundreds of Multiverses away in distance.
When we arrived, we came face to face with a clan covered in an outer shell made of an anomaly we Deities like to call... Cosmic Metal. A material that holds all the properties if even the sturdiest of metals whilst remaining transparent and glass-like in appearance. It encased their large cluster verse perfectly from what we could see. Setting up a perfectly carved, circular hole where the entrance to the clan lies. It was guarded by four very powerful guards of the royal class. Two were Goddesses and the remaining two were Gods. They scanned our ship to analyze and make sure we were of no threat to them and their home. Upon making eye contact with Shi'Ho-ho, Theodore, and Melumini'itii, the guards became easy going and welcomed us with open arms. That only increased when they learned that I was one of the two leaders for this large group of ours. Glad to see our mere names carry so much weight at such young ages.
They allowed us passage into the clan and guided us down a path that leads directly to the royal house within the clan. We made it there in Little to no time thanks to their assistance. It was at the caste that we were greeted by yet another royal guard. But by their merits and uniform, we could tell they were much higher in the rankings than those that guard he entrance. He pointed us towards the hanger where we could park our ship and exit the vessel so that we may all enter the castle. Or whoever actually held interest in entering anyways.
The sharply dressed guard welcomed us in as seven of us chose to exit the ship and go meet face to face with Kolipso. It was me, Heemy, Melumini'itii, Ri-ohhanna, Shi'Ho-ho, Theodore, and Dila entering the castle. Everyone else stayed back to work in their personal interests. The ship increased in size thanks to the massive amount of essence the team fed it. Allowing more personal quarters to be created for each and every member whose essence has been entered into the ship's database.
The guard named, Maximus Brigder led us to a private room within this massive castle with an all black and white interior design. The decor matched the fancy of the ancient Romans if you get what I'm saying. I mean, just wooooww, guys. Once we arrived at the door to the room, it opened up from the inside revealing a single Goddess. She wore a strapless top with large hoop earrings to go well with the blossom decored top. Her arms and legs were covered in Roman armor whilst her waist was sporting a nice cloth-like fauld that hung down to her ankles when she stands up. It was the same as the decor on her top. Her neck, collarbone, and shoulders were covered by a large, blossom style, layered scarf that even covered part of her face. Her hair was white and was styled into a large bun with loose hair dropping down her back. Her bangs were large and hung down the side of her face, styled into fashionable coils. Her eyes were cold and stared deep into everyone's souls as we walked in.
"You there." She stated as she pointed directly at me.
"Huh?? Uh- me!? What is it that you want with my person, Kolipso."
"You're someone who harbors odd essence well within your body. From what I can sense, you have Annihilation, Destruction, Eradication, and Erasure all in one body. And Eradication was recently acquired thanks to your exposure to Lady Shi'Ho-ho over there. Your affinity for concepts is quite fearsome indeed, Lady ZeeNanasa." She stood and walked over to me and the others.
"It's great to see you all! Let us become great partners in our employment as Annihilo-Sect members!" She stated as she grabbed mine and Heemy's hands.
"Oh wow, I would've sworn we'd have to convince you-
"But, I also just admit. I'm mostly eager to join in order to learn how to increase my affinity for concepts. Even now, ZeeNanasa continues to absorb the essence of your lingering concepts. She's even doing it to me and Lord Maximus as we speak! Fascinating!!" She leaned in and stole a kiss from me.
In the heat of the moment, Heemy and the others were shocked. She used that instant to steal a kiss from Heemy as well. Shocking everyone once more, well all except Maximus who showed signs of seeing this before. Kolipso explained that she can easily learn everything about a person and their concepts merely through lip contact. And to my surprise, Big Zee immediately learned the method and returned the favor. Feeding the information to me just after she acquired it. Kolipso noticed it and was shocked even more than we were.
"Heh, she did it again, eh? I truly look forward to what I can learn from you. Considering your affinity is nowhere found within your database. An anomaly like no other, Lady ZeeNanasa!" She smiled brightly as she walked past us all. We followed behind her, though I had to grab Heemy, seeing as he was still in shock.
She walked in the direction of the ship, conjuring an assortment of goods needed for her person when in these travels with us. She shrunk everything into a small bag and tied that bag around her torso. I could tell she was controlling space with her Cosmic essence. Enticing to want to learn more about her mastery of it. She blocked Big Zee and I out when we reflected her ability on her, keeping us away from her true knowledge on the concept. She's truly skilled in those aspects.
We got back to the ship and introduced her to everyone. Her parents and six younger siblings came to join Maximus as he says farewell to their heir to the throne. Something she won't have to worry about until she's at least ten thousand years old. Same with the rest of us who have royal duties and ties to the thrones of our home clans. The ship was started up and we immediately began to take off to the next clan. Molecularum Breakadia was the closest remaining clan we needed to visit. So we headed there with great pace, attempting to see what's what about the place. And going there to make contact with and recruit a well rounded, young God that's supposedly close to Timone Dismantlaarhg from the Dismantle Clan.
He leapt up to the helm where Timozzia, Ri-oh'dioh, and Shi'Ho-ho can be found. Timone made sure to direct them towards a secret entrance to the clan once we arrived there. It took two hours to get there by ship, one of the longer journeys we've taken between clans thus far.
Timone was quick to point out the path that we needed to take in order to find the entrance he spoke of. When we got to the location, a singular Goddess was waiting outside as if she were expecting us. She even waved at the ship upon seeing it enter her field of vision. She grabbed ahold of us using the essence she had turned into physical matter. She brought us in close, glaring into the ship until she locked eyes with Timone, Primoz and Kolipso. I guess all three of them have been to the clan, either for personal reasons, or to visit as guests alongside their parents. Either way, their presence here made gaining entry into the clan that much easier. But before we could set our ship up to enter from this odd spot, Timone stepped ahead of us and off the ship. Claiming it'd be faster if he went in ahead and picked up his friend. Heemy and I saw no reason to doubt his words and their worth, so we allowed him to go alone. Though Kolipso was quick to smack him in the back of the head. Yelling about how she knows this God even more than Timone and that SHE should be allowed to accompany him. Supposedly... This isn't the first time they've fought about something like this.
We all laughed as we watched them enter the clan. Then... I'd say maybe ten minutes had gone by before they exited the clan alongside a God of average height(Six foot, four). He had on some basic, baggy, black martial arts pants. A baggy sweater with a zipper on it slid off his shoulders as he carried his backpack on the right shoulder. His head and hair were covered by a messy, black beanie, whilst his shoes were a pair of fairly nice kung fu slippers used in combat. He looked so interested in us all and a slight bit out of it. That was made worse by the rolled up blunt of divikeef he had in his mouth. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes, and neither could Heemy. We had so much doubt that I actually went ahead and blasted the guy with my Presence Zenchi. I just needed an honest feel for him so I could trust that he wouldn't drag the team down.
"Heh, let's see if that will-
"Woah, that was some impressive Zenchi one of those little betties used on the ship. Now I'm interested!" He says as he walked ahead of Kolipso and Timone.
"Wuh-HOOOAH there, Jah'malle... Don't pull out the Zenchi now." Pleaded Timone in a playful manner.
"Nah, I'd say let him do it. It's the only way ZeeNanasa and Heemothy can be at ease. They don't know Jah'malle like we do, Tim'O." Kalipso explained as she walked a little more to the left to avoid direct contact. Timone leapt to the right as an extreme amount of Zenchi was summoned within that same instant.
"He~HaHAAA!!! Then let me show them the strength of the STRONGEST Zenchi user within our generation!"
"Hm!? What is this sudden surge of strength!?" I asked as our ship- NO... At least five Multiverses worth of space and dimensional layers were being shook by this sudden surge.
When I looked down at the God, I could see that he was the culprit behind such violent essence. But before I could even make a move, he released his Zenchi completely and made us all go dizzy without fail. Never in my sixteen years have I been hit by such a strong wave of Presence Zenchi. Masters Rosareideem, Z'Lusha and my parents have always held back during my training.
When the attack was finished, we find ourselves being stood over by Kolipso, Timone, and our new recruit... Jah'malle. Jah'malle looked down to notice I was only kneeling. Then when he gave the room a second scan, he noticed that, Ri-ohhanna, Melumini'itii, Shi'Ho-ho, Dila and Theodore were all still standing. Snowrunt was also kneeling, though she would've been standing had she allowed herself to lose a little control. Either way, Jah'malle now had complete faith that this new venture he was apart of wouldn't bore him in the slightest. We all rose to our feet to greet him, though Ri-ohhanna spent ten minutes tearing him a new one for his actions. Kolipso and Timone laughed in an uncontrollable way, seeing as they set him up for this very moment.
Anyhoooow, we immediately shot over to the next clan, and the second to last one on our long journey through the tenth Colossaverse. Our current target was the Disassemble Clan, Disassembatumn and it's eldest prince. The eldest prince and the princess of Erasareem-Sect are a lot like Heemy and I, as in. The two of them don't leave their homes much at all, and damn sure not to go and meet the other royal, and famed children of this Colossaverse's twenty clans. So getting these two would pose rather challenging. Or so we thought, until we finally made it to Disassembatumn. We witnessed the entire royal family waiting there for us, holding a letter from my dad in their hands. The eldest prince had on stylish headphones and frowned at us for whatever reason. We found out that reason when his father, the Chief of Disassembatumn opened his mouth and let these words out.
"Our son is what you'd call a chronic Introvert. He loathes being around others so much so that he avoids us within the family. We're hoping the eccentric nature and friendly vibe you carry as a whole can run off on him." The Chief explained.
"Please take him with you and teach him the warmth of companionship with others his age. We wish to see our boy grow into a fine Chief for the clan and the only way to do that. Is with the breaking of his shell and opening his mind up to these foreign ideas. Please, we humbly ask for your assistance, Princess ZeeNanasa of Annihilo-Sect!!" The Chiefstess asked as she warped her son into the ship.
The guy created a chair even whilst being teleported. A neat trick and and great reaction timing if I do say so myself. We all said 'hi' and gave him our greetings, but the brat was a real antisocial type. So instead, Heemy and I gave his parents our word and ensured then we'd help their son and keep him safe. They waved us off and sent their love in the form of essence. Essence that now coats the ship as a literal shield against damage and threats of any kind. Such kind and loving parents with an "I'll spoil you rotten" approach on parenting. Such overprotective care can truly make an introvert turn into a recluse if the gestures aren't received well.
But, yeah... Currently we are quickly making our way towards the final clan. As we got closer to its location, we could feel a growing eeriness within the cosmos. One that felt as though literal bloodlust and the intent to kill were being trounced onto us. Pummeling down on our pysche and spiritual forms as we rapidly approach Erasareem- sect. It was within these far out and brazenly over the top moments that members of the team began to tell Heemy and I rumors of a young Goddess born with one too many concepts. Her ferocious attitude and power made it hard for her to approach others or even make companions outside of her relatives and guards she grew up around during her crazy childhood. She's a hostile entity who is said to have more than one head. Though they don't mean physically when they say this. And honestly... After hearing all of this. Heemy and I came to the conclusion that they were talking about me, but not me. Someone that's identical to Big Zee and her ferocious hunger for a good fight.
As we entered their territory and finally had the clan within our sights. We were attacked by a large amount of blasts from afar. They were coming from just outside the clan, as were being sent by a young Goddess who looked to be equal in age to myself. Shi'Ho-ho took no chances with these attacks and dodged every single one of them by linking her natural reaction speed to the ship itself. Making it easier for us to avoid the danger while closing in. Ri-ohhanna and Melumini'itii were getting ready to head out until I was advised that only I should go out there. The one who gave such an odd order was none other than Big Zee herself. She was still taking over half our body's face and head at the time, so relaying the message out loud was made trivial.
"I need little Zee to be the only one allowed to face her." Big Zee requested.
"But why just the two of you?? Why not more just in case-
"Heemy... Don't interfere with what must be done here. Besides, there's only one good reason for me to request this anyways." Big Zee explained.
"Oh yeah, and what reason is that-
"Simple really, Ri-ohhanna. That young female Erasareemian out there is identical to Lil Zee and I." Big Zee continues to explain.
"Wait... What do you mean by that, Big Zee? Just what the hell is that Goddess out there!?" Heemy asked as he grabbed our shoulders.
Big Zee took over our body and brushed him off as I took control of our left hand and rubbed his face gently. We both smiled as she stared these simple words.
"Not only is that Goddess just like Zee, as in... there's more than one personality. That Goddess out there is none other than...
Our cousin and kin, YeeNessa Zeefist!!"
