Arthur took a look at the gate opened by Linux, his eyes peered through the gate seeing across the dimensions. He knew he made a grave error in calculations but he had to, to match the power of Linux it was imperative for him to release the seal. He flickered across the battlefield and appeared before Linux, he threw a punch at the latter who blocked his punch. Linux kicked Arthur away from her only for the latter to pounce back and be on the assault once again. She diverted and blocked his attacks retaliating with her own. Each time their attacks met, the land shook and the earth split into two. The winds roared as they rippled across the battlefield and the entirety of the globe.Arthur jumped back distancing himself from Linux, he dodged to the side seeing the horde fire attacks where he was standing. He gritted his teeth and looked around him. The army of legions surrounded him, closing every escape route he had. But Arthur was not intimidated, he could deal with a majority o

Dante dashed forward, crossing the distance between him and the controlled Arthur in a second. He appeared behind Arthur after he relocated and kicked the latter in the back with enough force to shatter the spine of Arthur. Arthur felt his insides grind up from the attack, it was as if his back was being pressed against his stomach. He could feel the bones cracking from the internal pressure. Arthur staggered forward from the kick and turned around only to receive a boot to the chin uprooting him from his feet, launching him into the air. Dante outstretched his arm and a Chakram blade appeared in the palm, he threw the blade with precision at Arthur aiming to slice the latter's neck clean. Arthur saw the blade and covered his most vulnerable part by bringing his head forward, the Chakram cut through his left eye as it narrowly missed his neck. He landed on the ground and placed a hand on his eye, he had one vision now and he could not focus because he was hearing whispers in his

Linux dashed forward and delivered a roundhouse kick to Arthur, the latter blocked the attack with his right forearm and used his left hand to grab Linux's ankle. Arthur twisted his body around generating enough momentum to send Linux flying but instead of releasing his grasp, he smashed the latter on the ground creating a large crater with Linux's body. He was not done, he stabbed his sword near Linux's face and chuckled. The woman was as fast as ever, she managed to narrowly avoid his attack by just an inch when she moved her head. But it did not matter to Arthur, he still had a hold on her ankle. Or so he thought. Linux kicked Arthur on the chin making the latter stagger backward, slightly disoriented from the power behind the blow. Arthur regained his bearing and launched his attack; the black sword in his hand acting as an extension of his reach as he swung it in an attempt to slice through the woman. Linux was nimble on her feet, she easily evaded a majority of the attack

As the explosion died down, a bruised Arthur and Linux stood near the edge roots of energy. They held their breaths, anticipating to see the product of their combined effort to defeat the adversary before them. “Insolent fools,” Arodis's voice pierced through the dimensional rift as the last bit of energy circulating where he was dissipated. Arthur and Linux were astounded at the resilience the mechanical monster before them had, the attacks were enough to shake the void realm they were in and cause destruction on a greater scale and yet the target of their attacks only suffered getting his right side blown away. Their shock did not last long as the Qi levels started to rapidly rise, skyrocketing to a point the dimensional rift showed cracks in its edges. “Something is coming” Arthur informed his new comrade. Linux nodded, she could feel the foul Qi resonating around them. Having been connected to the Source, it made it easier for her to detect presences linked to Oblivion. Arod

Linux and Arthur froze in their tracks when they heard the voice—they were not just married, but they were parents in this universe and hearing the croaking voice of the little girl with white hair, wide blue eyes talk to them made Linux jump into action—her motherly instincts kicking in despite the foreign nature to her and she crossed the distance from the foot of the bed to Anastacia in a blink of an eye showing that her powers weren't fully gone. Linux wrapped her hands around Anastacia and tears fell freely from her eyes—she was not certain about why she was crying but she felt the need to and she subconsciously ran a hand through Anastacia’s hair. “My baby.” She whispered, the memories of the her existing within this universe flooding into her mind—painting a clear picture of how her family looked like. Aside from Anastacia, there was another child. A boy the age of 8 with striking resemblance to Arthur—Linux released Anastacia, the tears on her face drying up by themselves th
