Mahoraga in Lord of the Mysteries

*Boom*

As the land round him was obliterated, Mahoraga fell several hundred feet back down form the caves he had originally sought to escape.

*Splash*

'Mmm?' Mahoraga turned to glance at the black goo he fell onto.

*Slick*

Tendrils of the goo rapidly tried climbing into Mahoraga's body and inserting itself through his skin, and failing.

'I does not die?' Mahoraga thought as a new helm appeared above his head, and then a few more appeared, some rapidly spinning, while others only moved 1/8th of a full rotation.

'Kekeke~ there is no such thing as immortality… only the delay of the inevitable!' Mahoraga's wings extended fully for the first time since it came to this world.

Along with that, a new helm appeared above his head, about triple the size of his own body. Nothing else changed as the black goo continued to climb up his body.

Soon, two of the smaller helms completed full rotations and the goo was expelled from his body, unable to penetrate it, but still climbing higher up his body like a tsunami, all the while he flexed his wings once more.

He turned to the sky, the pulsing red moon hanging ominously close as his grin widened. The next flex of his wing not only caused the helm triple the size of his body to turn, but also the one covering most of Backlund as the same time.

'Haha! This creature's immortality… it is the same kind as the depraved blood on the moon! How interesting~' Mahoraga raised his hands, palms facing the sky.

Flexing his winged eyes once more, he bent over and scooped up two handfuls of the black never ending goo, before closing his fists. He instinctively squeezed the handfuls of goo before dripping it into his mouth, a horrifying smirk etched on his face.

A truly terrifying number of helms appeared all at once above his head, all spinning insanely rapidly as Mahoraga adapted to the various curses and poisons he inflicted on himself.

'Petty tricks…' Mahoraga ignored the turmoil in his body as he flexed his wings more and more, causing both the large and the enormous helm the size of Backlund to rotate as the black goo continued trying to cover his entirely.

And just as this goo was reaching his face, his flexed his wing for an eighth time. The large helm completed a full rotation, and the enormous one covering most of Backlund had already vanished one rotation prior.

'Heh~'

"Immortality cannot exist!" Mahoraga declared with raucous laughter, altering a universal truth that had existed since the birth of the first pillars.

Nothing and nobody was immortal anymore. Everything and everyone not only could, but would eventually die. This immortality was not only limited of lifespan, but also the inability to be killed by anyone at or below your sequence.

A wave of distortion spread throughout the entire universe as countless gazes turned to its source, earth.

Those weaker beings without immortality celebrated, while those with merely frowned. Being who could survive in the endless cosmos beyond Earth's barrier were beings of immeasurable power, beyond the Sequences.

Their strength lay not in their immortal nature, after all, each of these beings were effectively laws of reality, without destroying that low, they would not cease to exist. And yet, this action still did affect their combat power.

Mahoraga on the other hand, grinned while utilising the new ability he had gained. The large helm had caused reality to change and immortality to be removed from existence. However, the much larger helm that had covered the night sky had given him an even more frightening ability.

"Let's see who you truly are~" he grasped at the air in front of the black goo and simply grasped it.

Instantly, the goo froze in place, before its entire structure rapidly collapsed into pure spiritual energy. It no longer had access to its Beyonder characteristic, and Mahoraga opened his palm to reveal a small tendril of black goo with two white eyes on it as though pleading for its miserable life.

The much larger helm had given him the ability to strip creatures of their Beyonder characteristics, and it would even work… on the blood on the moon~

*Squelch*

Mahoraga crushed the creature in his palm, finally killing it since it had lost both its immortality and Beyonder characteristics, before leaping up to leave the massive crater he had created.

Then, he turned his head to the blood-moon in the sky and pointed with one finger, "I will break you~"
