Chapter XVII: The Ten Commandments

(Your POV)
I blocked a slash from Ursula, who suddenly appeared in front of me, the force of our two blades colliding shattered all of the stained glass in the room, revealing nine more people were hiding in the room. I quickly recognized these unfamiliar people as beings who are either dead or sealed away, namely Zahhak, Thrym, Raktabija, Sekhmet, Elrick, Morrigan, Typhon, Tezcatlipoca, and Yoriichi. All of whom were extremely powerful on their own, plus with them powers of the Ten Commandments they could be unstoppable.  Due to Typhon and Thyrm's size, only their legs were visible.

"So, I guess this is the part where we start fighting?" I dismissed the banner and summoned [Lostvayne] before tossing it to Meliodas. "Guess we all have to do our best."

"Remember (Y/N), during this entire war, I never hated you, so I hope you don't hate me for doing this." Ursula tried slashing at me again, but I blocked it by summoning [Watatsumi]. "You're just in the way of humanity's freedom."

"I never hated you either, Ursula, and I fight to protect the balance between man and god." I tried slashing my blades at Ursula, but she stepped back as everyone began fighting.

Kokushibo blocked a slash from Yoriichi, while the latter looked to be in pain. Kokushibo used his moon breathing technique to send a slash towards Yoriichi, who backed away to be met with several beams of light coming from behind Rossweisse.  To my surprise, Yoriichi was able to deflect all of the beams using his crimson sword, all without batting an eye. Ravel was next to try something, and that something was creating a triangular wall of flames that trapped Yoriichi, who started breathing and dashed towards Ravel with his blade drawn. Luckily, Kokushibo managed to block the strike as well.

Sekhmet appeared in the rear of the group wielding two khopesh, and Ethan took it upon himself to punch her away. Sekhmet landed against the wall and looked at us again to see Sora with her sword raised directly in front of her, Sora swiped her sword downwards, forcing Sekhmet to block the sword as purple hands erupted from the ground to tray and grab her. The ease of kicking a football, Sekhmet kicked all the hands away.

Tezcatlipoca was about to attack us with his fist that he turned into a claw, but Stark activated his resurrection and shot at him, forcing him to dodge. Grimmjow and Hallibel both activated their resurrections as well, striking at Tez (shorter than saying Tezcatlipoca), with claws and a greatsword respectively. Tez jumped into the air and did something like a split to kick both Halibel and Grimmjow in the head.

Elrick walked towards us slowly, with his longsword stretched out. A dark aura was radiating off from him, and Jack, in response to this, summoned multiple icespikes to try and slow Elrick down, but the swordsman jumped onto the roof to avoid them before jumping down towards Jack at high speeds. In response to this, Yasaka summoned a pillar of blue flames that almost engulfed Elrick, but he stabbed his sword against the ground and used the force to vault himself away from the flames.

The roof collapsed to reveal Thrym used his hands to punch the door open and the first was still coming towards us, Bam used his shinsu to send a powerful stream of water towards him, counteracting the force. Rak used two of his spears and threw both of them at Thrym's arm, forcing the two spears to plant themselves in place as Yuri and Endorsi rode atop Khun's lighthouses to get close to Thrym.

The collapsing roof also revealed Typhon, who sent some of his heads towards us, in response to this, Mori rapidly extended and shrunk to knock each of the heads away while Mira ran towards the legs of Typhon to try cutting them, but the scales managed to block her swing. As Typhon raised his leg to stomp on Mira, Dawei rushed in and used his eye of the sage to reverse gravity on the foot. Sujin, Ilpyo, and Seungcheol jumped into the air to strike Typhon's torso, but his scales are too tough. Sajin activated his bankai and it looked rather different, instead of being an armored giant, it was a giant who looked like a yokai.

Raktabija rushed forward welding a kind of mace, and Smough used his massive hammer to crush the poor guy. Unfortunately, that didn't help AT ALL, because every drop of blood that touched the ground became a new version of Raktabija, all of them wielded maces, but Ardyn's skill with his sword managed to keep them all at bay. As Ornstein used his lightning magic to strike the ones that were towards the back.

A swarm of crows appeared above us, and I noticed that Shiyeon started coughing when a feather touched her, but before I could do anything, Jihan summoned a swarm of mana arrows to shoot each of the crows down before healing Shiyeon on the spot. Sitting atop of a broken pillar was Morrigan, who had multiple black beasts around her, ready to hunt.

Zahhak opened a book I quickly noticed was about as cursed as the necronomicon, and his shadow began an eldritch abomination. Black tentacles, yellow eyes, and mouths lined with sharp teeth could be seen in the now massive shadow. On the other hand, Sung managed to raise his undead army form his own shadow before jumping into the air to try and stab Zahhak. Unfortunately, the snakes on Zahhak's shoulders caught the knives midair. To prevent the shadow tentacles from pulling him into one of the mouths of the shadow, Bazz B shot at each of the tentacles with his burner finger. While the tentacles did regenerate, it did give Sung enough time to back away.

"Guys, I made a device that can cancel out the bonus abilities that come from being one of the Ten Commandments!" Nicholas took off the backpack, and a radio tower-like device could be seen. "Cover me!"

"You heard the man, cover him." I ordered as Ursula snapped her fingers, causing all of the walls of the church to collapse to reveal a much larger room. "May the best army win."

The cathedral-like design was still there, but some of the walls and roof were missing so Thrym and Typhon could be fully seen and still fight, but the walls were all black, and there was something off about this room too. In the middle of it, was a large altar-like piece that was slightly elevated by stairs, and the altar's floor had a weird design, but I couldn't make out what it was. There were also pillars all around the room, and there was a stained glass mural too, one that depicted Ursula killing someone with a white beard and unidentifiable face.

I dismissed my [Sword of the Father, Caelum] to replace it with [Cernunnos], I used both my polearms to send Ursula back to the altar before jumping into the air to attempt to stab at her. Unfortunately, Ursula managed to create three clones made of some kind of purple crystal and locked me in place. Now that I looked at her, I noticed white veins crawling over her face that appeared to be originating from her left arm. Her eyes also started to look strange, almost as if she was being corrupted by something. She noticeably only used Almighty with her left hand.

Ardyn was starting to have trouble facing off against the large amount of Raktabijas, that was until Giselle used his body to block a claw attack from one of them, covering the Raktabija in his blood. Giselle began healing from her injury while the Raktabija that got his blood on him started attacking his own clones, confusing the others. Ardyn smirked at this and created a firestorm using his own magic to burn half the Raktabijas to a crisp, but they stilll came back.

"How did this thing die in the past?" Smough asked in an annoyed voice as his hammer was covered in lightning.

"According to my sources, the goddess Kali drank all the blood before it could hit the ground." Zelda blocked a mace attack from Raktabija as I ducked underneath a swing from Ursula.

"Guys, if you could get their blood to me, I can drink it all." Liltotto explained as her mouth expanded to swallow a single close full. "I'm sternritter G, the gluttony, eating things is what I do best."

"Great, now how do we do that?" Noctis used Holy to dodge and leave behind a close made of light to take the hit, causing it to explode.

Back to me, Ursula slashed across my chest, causing golden scales to heal the injury while I used [Gates of Babylon] above Ursula to try catching her off guard before using my foot to kick her in the chest. Ursula summoned a large shield above her that blocked all of the weapons from [Gates of Babylon] while Ursula used her sword to block my kick. However I was barefoot to reveal my [Ryokuryuu] foot, and I managed to send Ursula back quite a bit. When my foot made contact with Almighty, I was overwhelmed with the same kind of energy of [Watatsumi] and [Cernunnos], but infinitely worse, and I could sense the grief that went into making the weapon.

On the pillars, I saw only sparks, but I could tell Yoriichi and Kokushibo were fighting. Ravel wanted to help, but every time she tried using a spell, Yoriichi would either deflect it or dodge it. Rossweisse on the other hand was able to do something by providing Kokushibo with some defensive magic. Valentine also joined Kokushibo, but she was only able to weaken Yoriichi By applying some status affects. Kokushibo tried swinging from above, but Yoriichi blocked it by holding the blade horizontally before attempting to pierce Kokushibo's stomach. Kokushibo barely managed to deflect the strike, and I have never seen him struggle with something like this before.

"Brother, you must kill me, you're the only one who can!" Yoriichi demanded and he sounded to be in pain. "You know how to use Breath of the Sun, and you've had thousands of years, so please, use it to defeat me!"

"I told you brother, I was never able to master it like you!" Kokushibo landed against one of the pillars and blocked a swing from his brother.

"You finally become the true warrior I always admired you for, don't tell me you can't do something!" Yoriichi shouted, having none of Kokushibo's nonsense. "You must at least try!"

Ethan's group wasn't having much luck, Ethan was having trouble with Sekhmet's speed and agility while Sora had trouble keeping up with her tenacity. Dark tried delivering a blow to Sekhmet's stomach, but Sekhmet knees Dark in the stomach, sending him into the air while Heartheater sends a wall of flames towards her. Sekhmet dodged the flames and began running towards the dragon knight, but she was met with a ball and chain to the head. The source was none other than Free, who spent the past three years training his body to become as dangerous as he was before going to jail for two hundred years.

I jumped into the air and used [Creation] to make a megaladon's jaws appear around Ursula to attempt to swallow whole, but Ursula cut the megalodon in half as I summoned four of [Asura's arms] to make room for [Shiva] and [YHWH]. I shot both the bow and crossbow at Ursula, catching her off guard because of their speed. My target wasn't Ursula herself however, I had a theory about Ursula's left arm, and I feared being correct in this case. Still, Ursula managed to dodge both of the projectiles before slashing at me again, cutting me in half from six meters away, but I managed to regenerate thanks to [Ouryuu].

Jack rode atop his horse, avoiding the balls of black fire coming from Elrick's palm as Yasaka turned into a golden kitsune to dodge the attacks. The only person who did not dodge was Gray, who used his ice magic to turn the floor into an ice skating rink, giving him the advantage. To my surprise, Yasaka and Jack were able to handle themselves pretty well even on ice. Jack's axe began radiating an deathly cold aura and Yasaka summoned more of her blue flames. Gray covered Elrick's feet in ice as he, Jack, and Yasaka rushed towards Elrick with their respective attacks ready, but Elrick deflected all of them.

Back to Typhon, Mori was able to keep up with Typhon's absurd strength, but everyone else was having trouble. Dawei was only able to help because he increased the gravity around Typhon while everyone else tried attacking, but the scales only showed the bare minimum in terms of damage. Kars even tried running up along the legs to cut the legs of the beast, but they only appeared at paper cuts that happened to have a long diameter. Typhon's hands were solely focused on Sajin's bankai, the only thing that appears to be capable of injuring him. Sajin slashed while Typhon used his snake finger to ensnare the giant, but Sajin's might can't be restrained so easily.

As for Bam's group, they were doing slightly better. One of Thrym's arms were broken because of the combined effort of Yuri, Endorsi, Rak, and Bam while Khun paralyzed Thrym at random intervals. Thrym attempted to strike Rak by slamming his axe down at the crocodile, but Rak managed to dodge the strike and pierce Thrym's arm with three crimson spears, causing the frost giant to jolt in pain. Yuri jumped onto one of Khun's lighthouses to deliver a powerful uppercut to Thrym, allowing Bam to use shinsu to blast Thrym's face with high pressure water.

My arm was slashed off because of Ursula's relic, which seems to not only be capable of summing other relics, but also seems to be able to make clones made of crystal for her, and ensures the slash always hits its mark. The relics Ursula summons also appear only in their shape, but not their ability. So my theory on this weapon is that she's able to summon [Shiva], but she can't use its ability to make arrows like little black holes. I used [Flashstep] to appear behind her to use [Invasion], and I realized why she was doing all of this. Her goal was more just than mine, but my realization was cut short when Ursula snapped out of the trance [Invasion] was supposed to put people in, and cut me in half. Luckily, I healed instantly thanks to [Ouryuu].

Blue explosions could be seen coming from Stark's fight, but Tez managed to turn into smoke to dodge the explosions, but he was caught off guard by Ulquiorra using the claws of his resurrection segunda to slash at him. Tez managed to slashed on the shoulder and kicked Ulquiorra away, but he was caught off guard by Grimmjow using his cero to attack. Tez forced spikes of obsidian out of the ground, which managed to cut the legs of Stark and Grimmjow. Halibel sent a wave of water towards Tez, knocking him into a nearby wall.

Morrigan was giving Jihan trouble because she was causing everyone except for him and Kiibo to get sick with something and forced Jihan to heal them. Shiyeon kicked a wolf away from Jihan while Kiibo soared through the air, taking care of as many crows as he could take care of. However, Morrigan appeared to make crows appear from thin air, so the only clear option was to kill her. Luckily, Arlo created barriers above everyone, preventing the crow's feathers from hurting anyone else. I saw a target appear on Morrigan's body, and a red beam flew towards her at high speed, forcing Morrigan to turn into a crow to escape the beam, but the target still followed after her.

Zahhak's shadow atrocity was currently fending off the entirety of Sung's army while John created blades of black fire to fight Zahhak's snakes and Seraphina stopped time to help her companion. Zahhak's snakes acted as an automatic defense, forcing Sung to turn invisible and strike at random times. Unfortunately, Zahhak seems to always know where he is, even with Joe in the form of a winged tiger to distract him. Sung struck at Zahhak, but the shadow stopped the strike before it could reach him.

"Ursula, I understand why you're doing this now, but I'm going to tell you anyways, it's not going to work." I blocked Ursula's sword with my remaining weapon as my arm finally got back on me.

"If you know what I was trying to do, you'd help me and just die!" Ursula shouted as he knocked me back with her sword and I shot at her, only for her to deflect my arrows. "You want the best for humanity too, don't you?!"

"I do too, and I don't want them to see the horrors the gods have to put up with to keep balance in the world!" I spun my polearms rapidly to deflect all of Ursula's strikes.

"Then you're just another obstacle!"

Everyone around me seemed to be having trouble with this fight, so I decided to have our aces fight, and by aces, I mean Mwindo, Thor, Mio, Fionn, Beowulf, and Ophis. I ordered for them to save their strength should Ursula gain the upper hand, but appears I have no choice but to rely on them now. Mio created a giant tree that appeared to be her angel, and it also had a chessboard-like appearance. Unfortunately, Nicholas' device also limited reality bending by quite a bit, so Mio could only apply massive buffs to us. However these buffs were enough, because I started seeing new results.

"Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance."

Kokushibo seems to now know sun breathing because of the effects of Mio's angel, which is good. Kokushibo's blade turned crimson and Yoriichi's eyes went wide with amazement and pride. Kokushibo rushed forward with flames covering his blade entirely. A dragon made of flames appeared around Kokushibo's blade as he jumped between pillars and jumped into the air. Yoriichi was about to move, but Valentine managed to cut the hamstring limb muscles, forcing Yoriichi onto his knees as Kokushibo landed to deliver a powerful decapitating attack. Yoriichi's head wore a smile, despite being executed.

"Bahamut."

A familiar armored figure soared in the air above us and sent massive swords down at the ground, managing to trap Raktabija in one place. This trap worked because Mwindo waved his fly swatter in the air, causing the swords to touch tips to form something like a bowl. Ardyn and Noctis jumped into the air and delivered a devastating attack of lighting, ice, and fire. This reduced all of the close to nothing but blood, which Liltotto devoured from below the makeshift bowl.

"Recoilless Renewal Taekwondo..."

Mori jumped into the air and used his golden cloud to strike Typhon's head with lightning, shocking the monster as Beowulf punched the kneecaps of Typhon, forcing Typhon to lower his head and allowing Mori to deliver the most powerful kick I've seen him deliver. The force alone managed to make Typhon's head go towards the ground, and the impact even created a dent in Typhon's head. The monster dropped to the ground and didn't move, to ensure he was dead, Mira decapitated the monster to be safe.

"25th Night Style..."

Bam now had black butterfly wings made of shinsu coming out of his back, and instead of water, his shinsu was pure black. He also had these red thorns floating around him, but that wasn't the weirdest thing. Bam placed both hands on Thrym's head atop of one another, and a burst of shinsu shot from the other side of Thrym's head. I was confused about what happened until Thrym collapsed on the ground.

"Full House."

Ethan had a bunch of coins flipping around him, and every single one of them landed on heads. Ethan smirked and began charging at Sekhmet, who was slightly tired from everyone attacking her. Sekhmet tried putting up her khopesh to defend against the attack, but Heartheater kicked her swords away from her. Ethan appeared on the other side of her, as a large slash appeared on Sekhmet's chest, killing her on the spot.

"Power Above Resurrection..."

Tez was held in place by Ulquiorra and Halibel as Stark Aimee both his guns at Tez, much to his horror. Stark began charging up ceros at the barrels of the guns, when the guns suddenly summoned much larger barriers to encoat him like a susanoo. All the guns fired at once to reveal large blue ceros, and the two arrancar holding Tez moved just before the cero made impact with the god.

Sung, Jack, and Jihan didn't need much help. Sung finally managed to cut off the heads of the snakes before cutting off the head of Zahhak to get rid of the shadow. Jihan on the other hand, managed to trap Morrigan in one place, allowing Kiibo and Blake to blast. As for Elrick, well Yasaka turned herself into a giant kitsune fox and bit him in half before spitting the half she hit far away. When Ursula saw these, she started losing hope, and slipped on some ice, allowing me to aim both my weapons at her neck.

"I understand you don't want humanity to suffer, like you have." I pointed out, surprising Ursula. "When your parents died and you were taken in by Hel, you were often abused and neglected for failing to meet her expectations, and when you did meet her expectations, you got nothing. You know the atrocities the gods are capable of firsthand, and you don't want anyone to suffer like you have ever again. You were even willing to take on all the burdens the gods had when you killed them all just so humanity will be safer, but you would collapse underneath the weight."

"So you finally found out my plans huh, you've won this war, but let me tell you, if you harm a single human, I will come from the grave and kill you.' Ursula threatened me as I cut off her left arm. "GYAH!"

"Despite everything you've done, I'm not going to kill you." I quickly used [Healing Hands] on Ursula's injuries. "I just wanted to prevent you from doing something you would regret, besides, using Almighty like that would have resulted in your becoming corrupted. Besides, killing either of us on this altar will release something we're not prepared for, and keeping him sealed will only make things more dangerous. Plus he's already dangerous enough, with his power seeping out and all."

"I know, but it's a necessary sacrifice." Ursula seemed to brush off my comment as I healed her new injury to stop the bleeding.

"You're an idiot."

"You're a neet."

In response to this, both of us started laughing and hugged each other, confusing my allies. I was glad to know my cousin was still the same, even after everything. I already figured out her intentions, and her methods were pretty fucking horrible, but due to the fact that I won this war, I'll just set her on the road redemption. Unfortunately, our little reunion was cut short when Ursula's arm, the one I cut off, began glowing as [Almighty] fell to the ground. I picked up the sword after dismissing my weapons and grabbing my cousin. In the arm's place, was a man I quickly recognized as Almighty, the man who killed Xemnas.

"IT ONLY TOOK AN ARM TO UNDO THE SEAL?!" Ursula and I shouted in sync before turning to my allies. "EVERYONE, GET OUT!"

"My my, after thousands of years, nothing has really changed much, what are the odds?"

In response to Almighty's voice, the walls of the building began collapsing, no, it was the entire island that was collapsing. The only things that didn't seem to be collapsing were the borders of the islands, which remained still through the entire ordeal. The islands collapsed until it was one big crater, yet the spot where Almighty stood remained perfectly still, as if he was controlling space itself. The rubble made it impossible for me to see my allies, but I could tell they were still alive. The force of the shaking and rubble managed to force Ursula and I to the ground. I used [Hakuryu] to extend my arm into a large white dragon's claw and block the rubble from crushing Ursula and I. When the shaking finally stopped, I moved the rocks out of the way to reveal we were all now in one big crater and Almighty was on the one part that remained unaffected, like a hawk looking over its prey.

"I'm sorry (Y/N), all of this is my fault." Ursula beat herself up, so I responded by flicking her forehead. "OW! I was trying to be genuine there you asshole!"

"Don't apologize until you help clean up the mess, words can't do anything compared to actions." I held out my hand for Ursula to grab as I stood up. "And by that, we need to kill him."

"(Y/N), Almighty earned his name for a reason, there's no way we could kill him now that my army is destroyed." Ursula whined, and I groaned in annoyance. "Don't roll your eyes at me."

"Please, if I destroyed your army, wouldn't that make my army better than yours?" I looked all around me, seeing familiar faces ready for battle. "Besides, I think I know how to beat this guy."

All around me I saw my friends. Hunters, huntresses, infinite stratos pilots, Pirates, shinobi, shinigami, Angels, Devils, fallen angels, heroes, stand users, spirits, SCP,  Guardians of Xemnas, Fragments of Xemnas, and even the XV Lords. Everyone was here, and despite that, Wanderer held his sickle like he was ready to create some rifts in time. I realized what he was going to do, and I smirked.

Let the final battle begin.

(A/N: I know she isn't god tier, but Ursula is by far my best written villain. Ursula wants to kill the gods because she's known only abuse from one, so she hid her pride until the destined moment arrived where she was able to kill the abuser. Now she doesn't want anyone to suffer like she has, hence why she wanted to kill the gods. Just to ensure no one ends up like her. Crazy? Yes she is, but you can at least follow her logic. By the way ya'll better be drinking water or so help me-
