The Rise of Quetzalcoatl

Chapter 657: The Final Battle (20)


To look upon the Crawling Chaos was to glimpse the very embodiment of disorder, a being that reveled in the breakdown of reality itself. Its presence was a violent rejection of all stability, a force that sought only to tear apart the universe and leave nothing but chaos in its wake. It was as if existence itself recoiled from the being, desperate to maintain some semblance of order in the face of its overwhelming madness.

The Cosmic Leviathan was a being of impossible grandeur, its colossal form stretching endlessly across the void. Its serpentine body coiled through the fabric of space, each movement slow and deliberate, yet powerful enough to shift the orbits of entire galaxies. Its scales, shimmering in a kaleidoscope of colors that defied understanding, were the size of galaxies themselves, with each individual scale containing a swirling sea of stars, nebulae, and celestial phenomena that flickered in and out of existence.

The Leviathan's skin was translucent, revealing the unimaginable power that surged beneath. Oceans of molten energy—roiling, fiery seas of plasma and stardust—churned within its flesh, glowing with the heat of a thousand supernovas. These oceans ebbed and flowed beneath the surface, casting eerie, pulsating lights through its form, making it appear as though the Leviathan was a living constellation, a part of the very cosmos it swam through.

Towering wings, each stretching out across light-years of space, unfurled from its body. These wings were not feathered or scaled like lesser beings but composed of pure cosmic energy, their translucent membranes filled with glowing clouds of gas and swirling cosmic dust. When they spread, they blotted out entire star systems, casting them in an otherworldly darkness. The energy that radiated from the wings sent ripples through space-time, distorting the light of stars, bending gravity, and warping reality itself.

The Leviathan's head was crowned with serpentine eyes, massive orbs that flickered with the light of dying stars, the final moments of entire solar systems reflected within them. These eyes held the weight of eons, peering through time and space with an ancient, primordial awareness. They glowed with a deep, unsettling intelligence—an entity that had seen the birth and death of countless universes, and cared for none of it. Its gaze was cold, indifferent, and yet beneath that detachment was a hunger, a vast, cosmic need to consume and expand, as if it sought to devour the very universe around it.

Its maw, large enough to swallow planets whole, opened occasionally, revealing rows upon rows of jagged, crystalline teeth, each one capable of tearing through the fabric of reality. When it exhaled, it sent shockwaves of cosmic wind through the void, strong enough to rip apart asteroid fields and scatter stars like dust. The very breath of the Leviathan carried the weight of entropy, a reminder that even the mightiest stars would one day crumble into nothingness.

As the Leviathan moved through the cosmos, it left behind a trail of destruction and creation alike. Some stars dimmed and collapsed in its wake, while others ignited anew, born from the chaotic energy that pulsed from its massive form. Entire planets were drawn into its gravitational pull, their atmospheres and surfaces dissolving into the molten seas within its body, feeding its endless hunger for cosmic energy.

The Nameless Horror defied all reason and comprehension, a being so vast that its presence seemed to stretch beyond the universe itself, as though it existed simultaneously in multiple dimensions. What could be seen of it in the observable universe was a nightmarish, incomprehensible mass of shifting appendages, writhing and pulsating in ways that challenged the very notion of form. Parts of its body seemed to flicker in and out of existence, as though its true essence could not be confined within the boundaries of reality.

Its chaotic body was an ever-shifting amalgamation of twisted limbs, grotesque heads, and serpentine tendrils, all phasing in and out of dimensional space. One moment, it would appear as a tangled mass of monstrous arms, each covered in countless scales and eyes, reaching out into the void with a blind hunger. In the next instant, these appendages would dissolve into shadowy tendrils, which curled through the fabric of space like smoke, stretching across galaxies before vanishing entirely.

Heads appeared on its body at random—some with gaping maws filled with jagged, pulsating teeth, others featureless and smooth, devoid of any recognizable features. Occasionally, one of these heads would let out a silent scream, its maw twisting in agony or rage, though no sound could be heard in the vacuum of space. These heads flickered like afterimages, existing for mere moments before dissolving back into the chaotic mass, only to be replaced by something more horrifying.

At the edges of its form, parts of the Nameless Horror seemed to slip into higher dimensions, bending and distorting reality around it. Its appendages reached out into unseen planes, where they twisted and coiled in directions that defied three-dimensional understanding. What little could be observed hinted at the immensity of its true form—vast and incomprehensible, extending beyond time and space into realms of existence that mortals could not perceive.

Colors that defied description bled from its shifting mass, hues that twisted the minds of any who dared to look upon them. The very sight of the creature was enough to send waves of madness through the cosmos, warping the fabric of reality in its wake. Its presence was a blight on the universe, a thing that should not exist within the ordered laws of creation, yet here it was—a nightmare bleeding into existence, untethered by the rules that governed all other things.

Where the Nameless Horror touched, space and time twisted violently, creating fractures in reality itself. Entire solar systems were swallowed by its appendages, collapsing in on themselves as if consumed by the weight of its existence. Stars bent and distorted as they tried to resist its pull, their light warping into unnatural shapes before fading entirely, lost to the void created by the creature's presence.

Despite its amorphous and constantly changing form, there was an underlying intelligence to the Nameless Horror. Its many eyes, scattered across the shifting mass of its body, glowed with a malevolent awareness, watching and calculating in silence. These eyes did not blink or waver, as if they saw into realms beyond mortal comprehension. They held a cold, detached malice, as though the creature was more than a force of chaos—it was a predator, stalking the universe from beyond the veil of reality.

As it loomed in the void, parts of its body seemed to phase into other universes, leaving only hints of its presence behind in the form of subtle distortions in space-time. The very laws of physics began to crumble in its proximity—gravity behaved erratically, time stretched and compressed unpredictably, and light itself was swallowed by the void.

The pressure they exerted was so overwhelming that the universe began to tremble. Space-time twisted and contorted under their sheer weight, buckling inward, threatening to implode under the cosmic strain. The entire universe teetered on the edge of collapse, its once-expanding form now bending and warping as though it was being compressed into itself.

Without the goddess's presence, reality would have collapsed in an instant. The immense pressure from the outer gods was so powerful that the universe itself would have twisted and folded inwards, compressing until it molded into a singularity—a marble so small it could fit within the atoms of the goddess's palm. She alone stood between them and total annihilation, her aura pushing back against the unimaginable force, holding the universe together by sheer will.

Her smile only grew wider, eyes gleaming with excitement as the challenge unfolded before her.

Arpious stood tall, her eyes gleaming with fierce determination as the black aura began to pool beneath her dress, swirling and writhing like a living shadow. It flowed upward, coiling around her legs and torso before gathering into her outstretched hand. The energy was dark, and oppressive, as if it had been summoned from the deepest abyss of the cosmos itself.

With a flick of her wrist, the aura solidified, morphing into a sleek, stunning weapon—a massive, three-pronged black scythe. The scythe gleamed with terrible beauty, its blades curving wickedly, each one etched with intricate patterns that seemed to shift and change as they caught the light. The weapon pulsed with dark energy, resonating with power so ancient and potent that even the cosmos seemed to tremble in its presence.

As the scythe fully materialized in her grip, a shockwave rippled outward, distorting the very fabric of space around her. The slowly advancing outer gods—beings of incomprehensible power and malice—paused. There was an instinctive, primal reaction as their colossal forms recoiled, sensing the overwhelming threat emanating from Arpious and her weapon.

The scythe hummed with a dreadful energy, and in that moment, it was as if all the chaos and madness of the outer gods was held at bay. The pressure they had exerted on the universe lessened, and even the mighty entities of the beyond, who had never known fear, instinctively retreated. The black aura that surrounded Arpious, and the scythe she wielded, was not just a weapon—it was a manifestation of dominance, a force so terrifying that even these ancient beings were forced to step back.

The universe itself seemed to breathe easier, if only for a moment, as the gods of chaos withdrew from the weapon's devastating presence.

"Now… shall we get started?"
