"No, this whole time while in pain, I've been weakened by those chains. However, now that we've been fighting, you set up my underclassman. You also kept those slaves captive, for those reason I'm going to beat your ass harder than anyone you ever met! I feel it now! The extent of my powers is finally here!"
"Hey! There's no bad intent that has the same intent of lying! Does that mean... You're telling the truth!?"
"My Zoe levels, 45,000,000!"

"This is interesting, we both have the same power levels."
"This is indeed interesting."
"CS: 1 Shadow Chop!"
"10x! Calculated Punch!"
"CS: Advanced Chop! Cold Shadow Chop!"
"That's a scary one! However! I can do that too! Equals, abilities!"
"No way!"
"CS: 1 Shadow Chop!"
"CS: 1 Shadow Chop!"
They sat there fighting for who could win the clash of strength and in the end, Erebos won.
"You can adapt all my moves if you want! I can give you a book about them! However, it doesn't mean you'll be great with my ability! It doesn't work because it's strong, it works because I learned to use it to the utmost of its usage! We're not on the same caliber."
"I don't listen to uncalculated people! Unless you have a perfect theory or equation on how you're right I don't want to hear it!"
"As I said, I hate when people say shit like that!"
...
"Colored Flames: Yellow!"
"Oh, you removed the orange so now you're ten times stronger. Is that what you're going to say? If so, don't say anything because it's not true."
"Colored Flames: Yellow! Burning Skates!"
"Skates? You're such a-" Just like that he got burned heavily because he was making fun of Kingsley instead of dodging the attack.
"Burning Drop!" Light then looked up to Kingsley dropping down and couldn't dodge in time and got hit on the head.
"You want to talk so much correct!? Let's talk then!" Kingsley then kicked him upwards
"Burning Globe!"
Kingsley then spun so fast that he went straight through Light.
"Tide-Splitting Barrage!" A barrage of energy-fired charged slices cutting right through his body.
...
Erebos and Light were screaming and clashing and hitting each other. Blood was flying everywhere as they continually kept fighting each other. Breaking into walls and crashing into the ground.
"You only broke my arm so far! What's holding you back!"
"Same could be said for you! I only broke my leg!"
"You stole my ability for no reason! I'm going to kill you!"
"Bring it then!"
"Rahh"
"Ahh!"
They started to destroy everything, that lower half of Ground 0 looked like a nuke hit where they were clashing. Their blood was everywhere and there was so much energy coming from the two the walls were starting to crack and melt if they got too close or they smashed into one.
"CS: 6 Advanced Chops Of A Shadow Devil!"
"CS: Advanced Chops Of A Shadow Devil!"
Every time Erebos used an attack, light would copy it.
"I can do this all day!"
"Same go-" That's when it hit Light. Something he never expected in a million years. His clone suffered heavy damage.
"What's wrong you can't deal with a little pain!" Erebos yelled slamming him down then bringing him up and slamming him on the roof then kicking him off the roof.
"Erebos's Suplex!" He slammed Light straight to the ground with a suplex making light cough up blood.
"No way, I'm going to lose to an uncalculated loser like you!"
"Stop bringing that shit up!"
"Ahh!"
"Ahh!"
...
"30x! Say goodbye to your legs!" That's when Light's Clone got a clean hit on Kingsley's leg and broke it.
"You really don't think... I can only use my legs, right?"
"What!?"
"Colored Flames: Yellow! Colored Gatling!" Kingsley's punches were simply too fast for the clone and he fell back and started to fall down.
"I'm not done yet! Burning Kick!"
"I'll break your other leg as well!"
"I don't care!" Kingsley roared as he kicked with the leg that wasn't broken and Light's clone grabbed it.
"30X! Calculated Break!" That's when he broke Kingsley's other leg but Kingsley was still kicking him.
"Colored Flames: Yellow! Kick Gatling!" That's when the kicks were too fast, Light's clones yet again, and he couldn't get out of the hit.
"His legs are broken! He's doing this and his legs are broken! Master! Do you hear me!"
...
"I can hear you, I can't exactly help at the moment!"
"What's wrong? You underestimated my underclassmen!? You thought they were going to be weak while they were in the same presence as me!? You're such a clown! I told you before I will kill you! I already destroyed the place you kept these slaves by beating you down now all there's left is finishing you!"
"No, I won't lose! Ultimate Move! 1,000,000x!"
...
"Okay, master! Ultimate Move! 1,000,000x!"
...
"There's no way for you to survive this! Die, you shadow man!"
...
"Die you damn Colored Flames boy!"
....
That's when Erebos got punched and exploded from the instant impact.
...
"Oh shit, I can't dodge this!" Kingsley yelled, bracing himself for death.
"Dammit! After all, I did! I wasn't enough I'm still going to-"
"One Sword Style! Light Speed Chops!" That's when from the fist all the way to his arm the clones got chopped up.
...
"I told you! I win!"
"You must have forgotten my oldest trick in the book!"
"What!?"
"Didn't I tell you! I take up every shadow, believe me! Even your own!"
"No! No!" That's when Light's body popped from the damage he took.
"I didn't tell you, I could use your shadow to replace mine. That way you take the damage and not me. However, I do take 25%. That punch hurt like a bastard!"
...
"Kingsley finish this!"
"I will! Colored Flames: Yellow! Full Body Coat!"
"No- No!"
"Kingsley's Crown!" Just like that once slammed into it with all his body parts it exploded.
"Good Job, Kingsley."
"I didn't do that..."
"What."
...
"Erebos, a man of his word, has officially killed the man that had the title of the second strongest! Yet, he feels like he faced someone who was only stronger than Yoki by a couple of points! However, he's in no condition to fight. With a broken arm and leg! Still, he walks to see if his fellow members are okay! Then he falls on his back!"
...
"Well, I would have never gotten that far without you," Koji said, breathing heavily on the ground from all the pain. That's when he felt teardrops on his body and he looked up at Kingsley crying.
"Koji. I was too late again. I barely did anything to help anyone. You still got hurt again, Aza also got hurt and now is in the hospital fighting for her life, and Z doesn't have his! Yet again, even when I learned so much. So much. It just wasn't enough! It's never enough!"
"I know how it feels. I was feeling that exact way. I can't say if it's ever going to be enough and losing Z is making me more upset than anything. I feel so angry with myself for letting that happen that It's starting to make me think... to a place my mind has never gone before."
"I need a break from all this," Kingsley said wiping the tears a
"Will get one. I don't think the agency is exactly open for business."
"Yeah, are you okay? Like okay? You didn't have anyone with you all this time.."
"I'm fine. I can't stay sad for too long. Speaking of K-"
"Aye Koji!"
"Phoenix?"
"Boy, we met for five seconds!"
"It's Phoenix."
"My bad, wait a second is it me, or is the sword that was broken into pieces gone?" They all looked over to see the sword noticeably absent.
"You're right it is gone?"
"Something was there?"
"Yeah, it was Koj- Hey! Wait a minute! Koji! Where on earth is Pete? I left him with you and Phoenix! I see you two but a lack of Pete."
"Oh shit. Kingsley! I totally forgot due to all this fighting!"
"You left Pete somewhere!"
"No! In fact, he left us."
"What!?"
"You two go back to Z! Do it now!"
"He's strong as well. Before I left he clashed with someone and it was strong. I didn't even see him on the way down. It didn't even cross my mind!"
"No way! Pete!?"
"Yup."
"Why would he keep quiet about being strong? Unless... No... Right?"
"Unfortunately I think we're right back then. I was always fishy about being locked in the freezer business from the start."
"No. No way."
"Kingsley?"
"I'm sorry I'm just so frustrated at him right now."
"I understand."
"Sorry to interrupt. However, what do about the slaves?"
"The what!?" Kingsley said in a surprised tone.
"Oh yeah. You really missed out on a lot. We figured out that slaves were being held here, so we freed them."
"Good Job! I'm proud of this little team yall had going down here at least."
"Thanks, we tried a little" Phoenix said with a smile on his face.
"Hey! Deadweight!"
"Erebos!" Kingsley said, waving at him.
"Oo. Golden hair boy? What a surprise, I didn't expect you to be here."
"I got Aza to the hospital and I wanted to stay with her but."
"You need to go."
"Aza! You're okay!"
"I am, I'll be fine! Trust me!"
"You need to be with them! Please! For my sake! Don't let anyone else go through what I've already gone through!"
"She told me to rush over here as quick as I can over here to help you guys. I still feel like I was too late."
"Nonsense, without you I'd be dead. That's got to count for something."
"You're right it does."
"Well, now what?" Erebos said while doing a loud yawn.
"Well, apparently there are slaves here, so." Kingsley rolled his arms making it obvious he wanted any of them to elaborate on what to do.
"Right. I'll take them and lead them out." Erebos said stretching and yawning.
"I should probably go too," Koji said, getting up from his spot.
"Well, take me with you because I don't think I could spend another second in Ground 0," Phoenix said also getting up.
"Kingsley?" Koji said seeing his response before he sighed
"I can't. Not yet. I want to make sure Dion and Apollo are good right now."
"Shoot! You're right the last time I saw Dion he was clashing with someone who was equal to him if not even higher."
"I knew it! He was off fighting bigger and stronger than I was! While I was playing with the easy batter! I knew it!"
"Well, don't sweat too much about it, I don't think anyone wants a fight that's hard right now. The objective is to save Alfred so unless he has Alfred you should be in the clear... But let's face it, he has Alfred." Kingsley said, shrugging his shoulders.
"No!"
"Alright, Kingsley you're not leaving aren't you?"
"Nope, you?"
"If you stay I'll stay too. I want to make sure those two are good before I leave."
"Speaking of leaving, here." That's when Kingsley handed Koji and Phoneix a squashed sandwich and some water.
"It's kind of smushed from all the fighting but," Before Kingsley could even say the rest Koji devoured the sandwich and drank the water, Phoneix following suit.
"That's the stuff!"
"You did say you needed it before I left."
"If you can bring something like water or food to me that would make this go faster."
"Wait for a second, Golden. Where's my sandwich?"
"Sorry, you didn't ask when it was in que. Guess you shouldn't have run off without us."
"No! Erebos the God deserves a sandwich for his hard work!"
"You can taste every bit of nice bread, and vegetables and the meat is too good, is this turkey?"
"I believe so."
"This is torture!"
"Erebos man, you got to have one of these... Oh, wait." Koji said while laughing at the complaints of the Erebos.
"Well, you two promise you'll go straight towards Apollo and Dion, right?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, but you need to promise"
"Promise you?"
"That no matter what happens, you two do not infer and you follow what they say, 1000%"
"Why!?"
"Well because, If Dion is clashing with someone then that person is levels above who we just fought. I can tell he was only strong and put into a strong position because of his mind which I tore down and used against him."
"Why does that matter?"
"We're already totaled and the man we fought wasn't even strong physically but mentally. Yet it took Kingsley breaking his legs and you almost losing your life to come close to winning. In the end, I still killed the man while you were fighting the clone. The clone is not even as high level as the actual main source. So whatever their fighting is numbers no one of you two can reach. I love a good fight, I think you should always prove to yourself that you're stronger than everyone else. But that comes with time and patience, unless you're a god like me of course. Understood?"
"Understood... I hate it when Erebos is actually well-spoken and not crazy looking for a fight!"
"Just like Apollo! I swear!"
"Yes, yes I actually sort of care for you guys sometimes. Just follow those rules or they'll have my ass."
"Okay, okay."
"Alright then! Tiny Human! Take me to all the tiny humans!"
"It's Phoenix! Come with me, I can take you straight to them!"
"Thanks, Tiny Human!"
"It's Phoenix"
"Wait, before you guys go," Koji said, earning their attention.
"Thanks, for everything. I would've never done it without you two."
"Don't mention it! A god got to do what he can to make his ungodly people happy."
"I wanted to join your freakshow so, it was always going to happen. You're welcome though." Phoenix said, turning around and waving away with Erebos walking away in a crazy manner proving his godliness.
"Let's go, Kingsley!"
"Right!"
