While the spell held, the clones, the chyka and eye of Neptune would not relent their assault. In return, I continue to sustain the spell as damage has not ceased. I can see that the clones are preparing something as well. I will need to remain patient if I want to catch the clones off-guard.
Meanwhile my divided attention glances at Alex atop his pillar. Something has been bugging me for a bit. Why does that body not contain any spiritual force? It is equivalent to a dead corpse. It holds no life essence and is saturated in death essence instead.
"Dead corpse..." echoes in my mind. "He's not the real Alex... just a puppet. He has done this before.." I think to myself. As foretold, it means he has a plan. What is he planning? What trump card could possibly have? That is when I realise…….
-Shoshanna's inner dimension
Inside a completely separate dimension inside of shoshanna's inner soul and self lies Danielle, the twins and almec. They appear inside a completely warped environment. A reflection of my vast inner world.
They lay flat on their stomachs by a jungle waterfall. The area is very calm and serene. As Danielle gazed upon almec, she would experience her final moment. A hole explodes in her chest, damaging her body and soul directly. That was it. Danielle has met her end or so it seemed…
From behind Danielle, from the shadow she casts upon the ground, something eerily quiet and still rises from the depth of the darkness. For a brief moment there was no detection at all until a chilling cold multitude of voices spoke in unison;
"We see you, fragile fragment. (Echoe/fragment )
You wear a stolen shape.(stolen)
A hollow echo of life.(hollow/life)
But there is no pulse inside.( echoe/pulse inside )
Only cold, calculated mimicry.
You are a facsimile.
A mirror reflecting nothing.
Your glass now shatters
Return to the dust.
We cut away the lie.”
"they spoke in unison. Similar to shunsui's kageoni technique, a shadow of death emerges from danielle's shadow. It materialises with a certain previously seen gesture where it's arms are crossed holding their zanpakutÅ.Upon fully rising up, the entirety of the reality begins to shift and unravel. At first, Alex can hear the shatter of glass and cracks appear everywhere, as if reality itself were shattering. The peaceful sky atop shifts quickly to angry, black clouds.
The winds shriek, crying a name out in whispers "death.…"
Finally the aura sets in, for alex exclusively, there is a massive weight in the entire dimension, like the universe's weight was dropped on your shoulders, the earlier effects mentioned; the pressure of the ocean, the weight of gravity, madness, death, despair, all hung and clung to soul and bones.
These effects would reach their full and most critical levels of expression.
A few things occur, the damage that Danielle takes is halted and stalled. Danielle was effectively killed and/or damaged. That has not changed however by a mixture of using absolute death manipulation and absolute soul manipulation, i was able to stall and stop these effects temporarily by using absolute death manipulation ( considering we are within the boundaries of her inner self and the pinnacle of her powers, without the constraints of the mugen rules ) I revoke danielle's death. With the help of absolute soul manipulation, the damage done to Danielle's soul is reversible as well. To perform these feats however, there was a cost. A condition for these changes to take place.
In order to revoke the damage done to Danielle I would have to vanquish Alex and expel him from my inner world. By achieving this goal I gain the right to complete the process. Should Alex prove worthy and manage to vanquish my shadow, he would claim the right to take and end Danielle's life. In order for either party to achieve their goals, one must vanquish another.
( to elaborate a bit on how these powers are possible allow me to explain. My character as most know is death. ( like THE death but from another dimension. ) In the mugen verse, her powers are toned down to fit the narrative a bit better because her scale far exceeds mugen standards. By this rule, she still has those powers but it is severely toned down and re-scaled as administration deems fit. However; these powers scalings are not applicable in terms of her inner self as for her to continue to function, her inner self can't be compromised as it is those very powers that allow her to exist in the mugen verse.
Therefore, exclusively to her inner self, she may wield her nigh-omnipotent and supreme power within reasonable limits in good faith. With fun intentions.That also means that despite wielding said supreme powers, it had to be within reason.
( disclaimer for the mods and admins. Allow me to explain. Before I came up with this conclusion, I had a back and forth conversation with Alex. I asked him many questions in regards to this situation, where if this act was not revocable or absolute and non-counterable. If so, I'd let it go and admit the loss. However with a conversation we agreed and determined that a chance is available to make the fight more interesting. I have repeatedly told Alex that I'm willing to take the loss accordingly.
Therefore, we will proceed with a double fight in two separate instances. One in her inner realm, and one in the current reality. I wanted to make this clear to avoid accusations of god-modding as these are accurate depictation of my own character and again, I had a conversation with Alex about before proceeding. My only goal and intent is to have a cool fight. Nothing more, nothing less.)
