The Rise Of A Porter

The entity in front of them was nothing like the numerous gods scattered across the battlefield. In front of him... no one even measured up to a spec of dust. Just looking at him stroked fears in the heart of the 'gods'.

The aura around the entity shrouded in darkness sucked the life out of the planet. The winds were no longer blowing with the grace they were known for. The mere appearance of the shadowy figure, made the already nerve-wracking battlefield look even grimmer.

It almost felt that the planet as a whole was disgusted that such a thing had stepped its foot on it. But it was too weak to do anything to the man. No one could do anything to the man.

'He is one hell of an opponent, isn't he?' Shiva communicated using telepathy, 'Despite how powerful he is, he can not invade our heads. We should use it to our advantage.'

'I guess...' Arnold replied before taking a good look at the ultimate boss.

As Arnold stared at the faceless thing in front of him, even he couldn't help but unconsciously take a step back. The man who had the title of 'The One Above All' was hesitant to strike first, that was the kind of authority the figure in front of him had.

'Stand tall, the one above all. There's a reason why you are above everything.'

Shiva pushed his thoughts into Arnold's head as soon as he felt a pinch of fear in Arnold's heart. At that moment, Arnold looked at Shiva and saw him smiling.

They both knew how it was going to end and yet he was smiling. Arnold knew Shiva was at his weakest and yet he was smiling. He knew even if the slightest thing went wrong, the universe would be no more and yet... Shiva was smiling?

Arnold could only imagine what was going on inside Shiva's head, or whether he had guts made of adamantine to have such a relaxed look on his face, while he was sweating buckets just by being around the enemy. It almost felt as if he was back to being a porter... vulnerable, weak and useless.

"Haha, I see you have found a pet!" The figure spoke through the slit that appeared on what appeared to be his head, "The more the merrier! Let's all destroy the universe together!"

The figure continued, "But before all that, allow me to introduce myself for the first and the last time. I am Zikola also known as the primordial... The One Before All. And today, I'll be erasing your existence. So please, cooperate with me as I kill you."

"Oh, is that you think what's going to happen?"

Arnold suddenly got his confidence back. Probab;y because he was already aware of all the possibilities their battle could yield. Back when he used foresight, Arnold had seen it all.

Yet now that he was faced with the challenge, he knew things were not going to be as simple as he had thought.  In any case, if he was going to end up dying after the fight, now was the chance for him to act all badass.

"Let me tell you what's going to happen." Arnold nodded and both Shiva and he simultaneously expanded their domain, sucking up the three of them inside the endless void.

Just one of their domains wasn't going to be strong enough to hold the primordial down for long. Heck, if they even tried to do something like that, the primordial would easily overpower the one who had dominion over the domain and transfer the ownership to himself.

Also, by taking the battle to their domain, Shiva and Arnold had severed the ties with the universe outside. As a result, even if they were losing, at least everything outside the domain would remain untouched... at least till either one of Arnold or Shiva was alive.

Then was the most important reason for it all. Both Shiva and Arnold were the strongest in their respective domain and if they wanted to defeat the Primordial, they needed every bit of advantage they could get.

"You think this petty trick of yours would be enough to stop me?" Primordial laughed at their desperate attempts to put a stop to him.

None of them replied to his provocation and simultaneously charged at the Primordial. In Shiva's hand, was his legendary trident, and in Arnold's hand, his variety of weapons of mass destruction.

"Pathetic."

That was all the Primordial said before clasping his tentacle-like hands around both of their head and crushing them. In one swift move, he had dealt with both of his 'strongest opponents in one swift move.

But something was off... he was sure he had killed them and yet he was still stuck within their domain. In the following moment, Arnold materialized in front of him out of nowhere and tried to stab him through a blade however, the blade immediately snapped in half the moment it made contact with the Primordial.

The primordial immediately targetted Arnold. But before he could do much, Shiva lunged at him with a speed faster than light itself, throwing the Primordial back before he could lay a hand on Arnold.

Despite the universe splitting blow Shiva delivered to Primordial, he was unscathed. There wasn't a single scratch on his body, let alone any injury.

"You want to play with a numbers advantage, is that it?" Primordial scoffed as he got back to his feet, "Then, I can play this game too."

The next moment, the shadow beneath the Primordial split into two and two identical figures appeared on each side. Now Arnold and Shiva didn't have to take care of one but three Primordials at the same time.

It wouldn't have been a difficult task to do so if only their strength was divided as well. Instead, all three of them had the exact same level of strength as they possessed before splitting up.

"Rejoice! For you are about to feel despair like never before!"
