Me and Darsen appeared, and the scene we saw was not pretty.
Gabriel was laying against the wall, his hand beginning to crumble, and Lucifer was prone, trying to get back up.
Everyone was in varying states of harm.
The Court was now a piece of rubble. Helel lay dead. Thalia was bleeding from a massive gouge on her chest. And Elren sat against a wall, healing his broken arm.
Mammon and Dallel were both standing, covered in blood.
Jalad was binding Amy's arm, which was ripped apart. Ausar kept an eye on the Ruler.
Luma and Sona both were flying, they also were bloody.
The rest of the dragons were down with the rest of the army, preparing to fight the Author, should he have won the battle.
The Author himself stood without a single scratch.
Dallel turned and his gaze turned hopeful.
"ROSE! You made it back!"
"We did."
They had a confused look.
"We?"
Then they gasped. Smiles broke along their faces.
"DARSEN!"
Thalia tackle hugged him.
"You're alive… how?"
I grimaced.
"When Milel died, it opened a slot in Universal Dominance. That allowed me to revive him."
So, you are back already? Even though I made Cassiel supreme?
"Oh, please she was weak, I just barely tapped her with my skill and she had a full panic attack. After that, I just ripped her in half."
Heh, you finally understand the power of a supreme skill.
"That I do, it makes sense why you are able to throw around Gabriel and Lucifer like toys… speaking of."
I knelt down next to Lucifer.
"You seem to be in a tough spot."
[You… made it back.]
"Could we consider this the end of our temporary alliance?"
Everyone looked at me with different measures of shock, but Lucifer laughed.
[Of course, but promise me this. When you get to supremacy, kill our smug little writer friend.]
{Of course.}
The Author realized our plan just a second too late as I sliced him in half.
[The Owner, Rose Hood, has slain the level 999 Lucifer. She has fulfilled the requirements and will level to 1000]
[The Owner, Rose Hood had gained all requirements to evolve...….. I can't speak the rest.]
I deleted the dialogue, there is no way I let you of all people become a supreme being!
{]Oh, darling, I already am one.[}
He blanched as my power suddenly roared.
[The Individual, Rose, has now ascended into a supreme being. Upon reaching 1000 her power has escalated, Title is being selected by affiliates.]
[The individual, Rose Hood, is now called the Sovereign. Her abilities will reflect that.]
I smiled, finally having ascended truly.
{]Well, Author darling, now, I can see your true name… Well ain't that a coincidence. Hello, Celios.[}
My Celios blinked.
"Heh?"
{]Yep, his name is Celios. That's what we call a coincidence.[}
You know, you don't typically mention the name of your combatant.
{]Nah, because see it this way. I still have somewhat of a draconic nature, meaning I respect strength. You will be remembered by me by name.[}
Ha, well, our fight will come later, for now…
Then a book appeared in front of him.
Then, tired from the battle, Luma collapsed and began choking.
Luma, as stated, fell down and began to choke. But for some reason, no one reacted.
Her friends that she trusted in so much had already forgotten her.
{]No[}
Dallel looked at me oddly.
"Rose? What are you freaking out about?"
{]You guys don't remember, but there is one of our allies dying right now![}
They were confused.
"I'm pretty sure at least one of us would notice."
{]Luma, the system.[}
"Rose, what are you talking about, Sona has always been the only system."
I fell next to Luma as my faction slowly began to think that my mind was finally breached.
Luma slowly choked to death, knowing that her friends would never even remember he-
{]NO![}
My voice shook. The Author stopped and blanched. And everyone else looked at me in shock. My voice reverberated far more than it ever had before. The mere words echoed power throughout the world
{]Luma will not die[}
The world began to shake. The Author grew paler with every word that passed from my mouth.
{]Not one of us will forget her.[}
They could see Luma again and began to freak out, but Luma had stopped choking. The Author took another step back as I spoke the line that finished him.
Not one of us will ever follow your story again!!!
Then Luma spoke. Her words a relief for all but one to hear. The Author shook his head, his face twitching.
[The Sovereign, had evolved the skills, World and Universal Dominance, Merging them.]
The Author stepped back, showing an emotion besides smugness and rage for the first time… fear… He began to shiver as he realized what had just happened. What I now was.
[The Sovereign, has developed the Supreme Skill: Author.]
