And then, the Cosmic Leviathan descended, its massive wings blotting out the stars as it roared with the force of dying suns. It lashed out with its colossal tail, the scales glowing with molten energy. The tail came down with enough force to shatter entire solar systems, but Arpious was already in motion. In a blur of black energy, she leaped into the air, her scythe cutting through the leviathan's tail as if it were nothing but mist. The beast roared in pain, but Arpious pressed her assault, her scythe slashing through the leviathan's scales and flesh with devastating speed. In moments, the creature's wings crumbled, and its serpentine body began to fracture under the relentless onslaught.
But even as the leviathan fell, the Great Harbinger loomed. Chains of collapsing stars swung toward her, each one distorting the fabric of space as they came. The very light of the cosmos bent around the chains, warping reality as they moved. But Arpious, undeterred, moved with blinding speed. She danced through the chains, her scythe flashing as she cut through each one, the collapsing stars bursting into dust under her strikes. The harbinger let out a soul-piercing wail, but Arpious was upon it before it could react, her scythe slicing through its skeletal hands, sending the chains scattering into the void.
The outer gods, despite their overwhelming power, were no match for her. Their attacks, incomprehensible to mortal minds, were met with perfect precision. Arpious was a force beyond reckoning, her movements graceful yet devastating, her scythe an extension of her will. Every swing shattered dimensions, every strike tore through gods, and the battlefield was littered with the remains of beings that had once brought chaos to the universe.
But this was far from over.
From the far reaches of the void, the rest of the outer gods began to stir. The seven massive beings that loomed behind the initial army now turned their attention to her, their combined presence so vast and overwhelming that the very fabric of the universe trembled. Their power was unimaginable, enough to twist the entire universe into a singularity, but Arpious stood her ground. Her scythe hummed with dark energy, and her eyes glinted with anticipation.
As the seven towering outer gods began to stir, their overwhelming presence caused ripples in the very fabric of existence. Each movement sent shockwaves through the cosmos, bending space-time and warping reality as if the universe itself was suffocating under their power. But Arpious, the goddess standing against these incomprehensible beings, remained unshaken.
The dark energy of her scythe crackled with power, and her face twisted into a savage grin, eyes glowing with a fierce, unstoppable determination. She could feel the weight of the battle intensifying, but instead of fear, it only fueled her further. The weaker outer gods, which once joined the fight with an aura of invincibility, began to falter. They witnessed Arpious carve through their ranks with horrifying efficiency, her movements a perfect balance of grace and brutality. Fear—a concept foreign to these gods—started creeping into their very essence.
One of the lesser outer gods, a being of chaotic limbs and swirling black mist, attempted a desperate attack. It twisted reality around it, sending an explosion of shattered dimensions hurling toward her like a wave of fractured space. Yet Arpious, in a blur of black light, dashed through the shards, cleaving through the creature's core with one swift motion. Its form shuddered, and within moments, it unraveled into nothingness.
The scene was too much for the others.
Another god, a writhing mass of teeth and eyes, recoiled as Arpious's gaze locked onto it. It started to retreat, its monstrous form quivering, but Arpious was faster. With a predatory grin, she flashed forward, her scythe tearing through its grotesque body, reducing it to fragments of chaotic energy. The rest of the gods in its vicinity, those once bold enough to challenge the goddess, began to back away in terror.
Panic surged through their ranks.
The Abyssal Colossus, its gelatinous form still attempting to reform, tried to shift into the shadows, but Arpious wouldn't allow it. She appeared before the massive god in an instant, her scythe glowing with malevolent energy. Without hesitation, she drove the blade deep into the center of its mass, twisting it with a force that sent cracks of dark energy splintering through the void. The colossus let out a low, guttural roar before it too dissolved into nothing but darkness and despair.
One by one, the weaker outer gods began to fall back. Some, like the Crawling Chaos, slithered into the void, attempting to escape. Others tried to mount weak, desperate defenses, but they were torn apart by the relentless goddess. Arpious was merciless, her movements a blur of savage power, her scythe leaving trails of devastation in its wake.
The few that remained, once feared and revered as unstoppable forces of nature, now trembled at her sight. They watched helplessly as their kin were ripped apart, their powers rendered useless in the face of the goddess who was supposed to be a mere speck in their vast existence.
The battle had shifted—no longer a contest of might, but a massacre.
The larger gods, those seven who loomed with a presence so powerful that it distorted even the gods around them, watched in silence. For a moment, their attention wavered as they observed the fear rippling through their ranks. The universe itself seemed to still, the stars dimming under the crushing tension.
And then Arpious turned her attention to them.
Her scythe, dripping with the remnants of the gods she had slaughtered, glowed with an otherworldly energy. Her smile twisted into something darker, something that spoke of a goddess unafraid of annihilation, no matter how vast her enemy.
The universe trembled.
The seven colossal outer gods, each towering far beyond the comprehension of mortal minds, seemed to finally acknowledge Arpious as more than a mere nuisance. Their chaotic forms shifted and pulsed with raw, primordial energy as they prepared to unleash their full might. The void between them and the goddess warped and twisted, filled with the eerie anticipation of an inevitable clash.
The Great Harbinger, cloaked in its tattered robes of nightmarish energy, was the first to move. Its skeletal hands, draped in the chains of collapsing stars, reached forward. With a low, echoing wail that reverberated across dimensions, it swung the chains toward Arpious, each link a collapsing star that threatened to devour entire swaths of space-time. The chains hurtled through the void, aiming to bind and obliterate her.
But Arpious, unfazed, twirled her scythe with frightening precision. She slashed through the air, the dark energy from her weapon cleaving the approaching chains. The collapsing stars erupted in a wave of energy, the impact so powerful it could have torn apart galaxies. Yet, Arpious stood tall, her aura surging as she redirected the explosion away from her with a simple flick of her wrist.
The Unseeing Eye pulsed, its grotesque form of unblinking eyes glowing with an eldritch light. Reality bent and twisted in unnatural ways as its gaze bore into Arpious, sending ripples of madness and chaos her way. The very fabric of space-time unraveled wherever its sight touched, creating pockets of fractured dimensions that would tear any normal being apart.
Yet Arpious, with a savage grin, slashed through the chaos as if it were mere smoke. The maddening gaze of the Unseeing Eye had no effect on her. She dashed forward, her scythe cutting through the pockets of distorted reality as if they were nothing more than illusions. With a single, powerful strike, she severed a dozen of the god's eyes, sending a wave of black ichor spilling into the void.
The Cosmic Leviathan roared next, its massive wings unfurling, blotting out entire solar systems. It surged toward Arpious, its translucent scales shimmering with molten energy as it lashed out with its colossal form. Entire solar systems were crushed beneath its massive body, and the light of dying stars flickered in its serpentine eyes as it charged.
Arpious met its attack head-on.
She leaped into the air, her scythe glowing with an even more intense aura of black energy. With a single swing, she cleaved through the Leviathan's scales. The sound of the impact echoed through the void like the toll of a cosmic bell, and the Leviathan screeched in pain as molten energy erupted from the wound. The massive god recoiled, but Arpious was relentless, diving after it with vicious strikes, her scythe tearing through its immense form.
The Abyssal Colossus, still struggling to reform, stretched out its tendrils in desperation, trying to ensnare Arpious. But the goddess was too fast. She weaved between the writhing appendages, her movements so fluid and precise that the Colossus couldn't keep up. With a cruel smile, she slashed through the tendrils one by one, each cut severing a piece of the massive god's form.
As she fought, the weaker outer gods that had not yet fled began to retreat even faster, their once unshakable confidence shattered. They witnessed Arpious tearing through these beings, each of which held power beyond the universe itself, and they trembled. The void was now a battlefield of fear and savagery.
The Maw of Infinity opened wide, its endless rows of teeth stretching across space like a vortex of destruction, threatening to consume everything in its path. The pull of the Maw bent space and time toward it, dragging stars and galaxies into its gaping mouth. But Arpious, unbothered by the pull, raised her scythe high above her head.
With a roar of pure, unrelenting fury, she brought her scythe crashing down onto the Maw. The blade, charged with her godly power, slashed through the rows of teeth as if they were mere stone. The Maw convulsed in agony, its form warping and bending as Arpious continued to hack away at it with savage abandon.
The Nameless Horror, its form existing partially beyond reality, lashed out with its chaotic appendages. Its tendrils phased in and out of existence, attacking from multiple dimensions at once. But Arpious, her senses heightened to a godly level, moved faster than the eye could see. She dodged the attacks with ease, her scythe cutting through the appendages as they appeared in her reality.
The battlefield was now a chaotic display of divine power and cosmic destruction. Arpious tore through the outer gods with a savage grace, each swing of her scythe leaving devastation in its wake. The weaker gods that still remained cowered in the distance, too afraid to approach, while the stronger ones began to falter under her relentless assault.
Though the fight was far from over, it was clear that the tide had shifted in Arpious's favor. Her overwhelming power, her unyielding will, and her savage, predatory nature had turned this cosmic battle into a massacre. The gods, once so sure of their dominance, were now beginning to fear the goddess who stood before them, tearing their very existence apart with each savage strike.
And yet, Arpious's smile only grew wider as she prepared for what would come next.
