The rivalry between Alexa and Pearlie continued to this day, and they still engaged in competitions constantly. This explains the backstory of Alexa and Pearlie.
Both Alexa and Pearlie had sworn to themselves that any mortals who happened to complete their version of Tartarus would be given a reward—their hand in marriage, along with their undying love and everything in their power to please them. When Leo and Vultra ascended to godhood and disintegrated Tartarus, both goddesses decided to marry them without hesitation. Leo and Vultra had no idea what awaited them.
After the intense glare that Alexa and Pearlie exchanged, everyone gathered in the living room to rest. They were using a special smartphone that could project its display holographically. While enjoying movies and content, Leo and Vultra excused themselves and headed to the training fields.
They created a barrier to block any outside interference and protect any stray walkers who might wander nearby.
"Alright, time to spar with everything we've got," Leo announced.
"Well then, let's first showcase our forms," Vultra replied.
"No problem," Leo agreed.
As they phased into their god forms, their bodies began glowing, though the transformation wasn't complete yet.
"Why don't we try that technique again?" Leo suggested.
"Oh, the fusion?" Vultra asked.
"Yeah, the fusion. But this time, enough talking—let's just use our domain for it."
"Alright," Vultra agreed.
As they levitated, their yin and yang domains glowed and expanded, forming a giant sealed room. Inside, the yin and yang energies collided violently before spinning crazily, combining and fully immersing. The door disintegrated as Leotra stepped out.
This fusion form possessed long hair with perfect shades of white and black split in perfect harmony. The yin and yang domain transformed into a symbol that moved to their forehead. With perfect power, 20,000 orbs followed them, each colliding, reforming, and splitting—they were yin and yang orbs.
Leotra's body was covered in armor that could freeze and disintegrate anyone on impact, assuming they could even reach it. The armor generated an insane forcefield and pressure that completely immobilized opponents before they could get close. The right arm completely symbolized yin while the left arm symbolized yang, taking on the colors of their respective domains. Feet were adorned with yin and yang beads that symbolized perfect harmony, covered by mystical boots.
Leotra examined this new form, wondering about the power ranking. Unknown to them, their power ranking equaled that of an originator.
Though the barrier concealed most energy leaks, some power escaped to the edge of their dimension. Since Leo and Vultra's energy was the strongest among all gods who possessed maps of the oniverse, they detected traces of yin and yang energy. This information was communicated to their leader, and special units were deployed—two omni beings who loved combat and ranked as the best assassins, unknown to Leo and Vultra.
After admiring their fusion for a while, they separated and returned to their tempered mortal forms.
Let me rewind to two days after their ascension. When they returned and found themselves alone, they decided to edit their bodies. First, they increased their height in every way—yes, every way. Originally 6.9 feet tall, their godly editing brought them to 10 feet. They couldn't go higher without frightening their subjects.
Second, they enhanced their flexibility to match professional gymnasts and athletes, while ensuring perfect muscle definition throughout their bodies. Yes, they enhanced Shenlong's muscles too—I won't mention the original size to avoid damage fee requests.
Finally, they made themselves completely resistant to all elements and gods below multiversal level, using their powers for additional buffs. Their armor deserves its own story, but briefly—it was fused with their Tartarus armor, blessed by their fiancées, and tempered in a yin and yang furnace with high-tech enhancements and fun perks.
They materialized their signature weapons. Vultra wielded chained katanas with enhanced buffs, while Leo carried his improved twin blades, now more deadly than ever. They were about to seriously injure each other in the name of sparring, both shirtless to display their impressive physiques.
"Are you ready?" Leo asked.
"I'm ready. It's time," Vultra responded.
They clashed at insane speeds. Pearlie and Alexa suddenly sensed their fiancés' energy and decided to investigate. Valse also detected the sparring session. Soon the entire planet became aware, and high-speed universal stadiums were constructed around the reinforced barrier to allow for an all-out battle. High-speed drones with 64K cameras monitored the fight in slow motion due to their incredible speed.
Leo and Vultra remained unaware of their audience.
As they clashed, Vultra threw a punch. Leo dodged, but Vultra converted it to a backhand chop. Leo evaded strategically, using his flexibility to counter with a scorpion kick. Vultra dodged, but Leo instantly changed his body position to perform a human flag kick that connected, sending Vultra flying.
Vultra regained composure and used his powers to appear behind Leo, attempting a rib kick. Leo countered with his left hand, twisting to deliver an uppercut. Vultra dodged and appeared beneath Leo, delivering a sharp blow to Leo's vulnerable area.
The outside audience collectively shouted, "Dammmmmnnnnnnn!"
Leo flew backward, using his powers to subside the pain. "Hey, watch the jewels! They're my insurance for having kids!"
Vultra smirked. "There's no restriction against attacking there."
"Two can play that game," Leo replied, insulted.
Leo dashed forward as Vultra threw his chained katanas with precision. Leo's reaction time allowed him to dodge and accelerate his attack, performing a fake blow that Vultra fell for. Seeing his revenge opportunity, Leo faked a high knee, then stretched his leg to deliver a perfect kick to Vultra's vulnerable spot.
Vultra shrieked in pain and fell hard, regaining balance at the last moment before hitting the ground. He instantly moved forward as Leo dashed at full speed. Their clash generated a shockwave capable of destroying a universe, yet the barrier somehow contained it.
They wanted to continue but noticed the enclosure weakening. Deciding to end the session, they disintegrated the barrier and walked out to discover a massive audience had been watching the entire time.
Leo and Vultra glanced at their fiancées, who ignored them, shrugging off the fact they'd been observed. The warriors ignored everyone and headed to their rooms for baths.
The scene shifted to the edge of their dimension at the real oniverse border. Two omni beings stood contemplating how to break the protective barrier. Camouflaged drones positioned around the dimension detected the gods. The head security humanoid immediately identified them, processed the information, and sent it to the chief of defense, who forwarded the footage to Leo.
Currently bathing, Leo received a hologram display showing the two gods pondering how to breach the seal. He smirked and contacted his generals.
"Send clones of myself and Vultra to troll those gods. Make them as strong as me. Set a timer—after one day, they self-destruct. Also, try that new tech we've been developing."
"Okay, my lord," the generals replied, laughing.
After his bath, Leo entered the living room wearing only a towel, chest fully displayed, watching his clones move toward the gods. When Vultra finished bathing, Leo called him over to expand the hologram display. Their fiancées joined them as a maid brought snacks for the entertainment.
At the oniverse edge, the departing gods sensed two approaching presences—Leo and Vultra's clones in mortal form but with identical powers. The omni special ops observed the revealed figures walking slowly toward them.
One ops, infuriated, shot an energy beam at them. Leo simply glared at the energy, causing it to dissipate.
"That's no way to welcome guests," Leo remarked.
Vultra smirked. "I think we have guests with specific issues."
The ops glared back as Leo continued, "Before we get to the main event, how about pleasantries? You haven't told us your names. I love knowing the names of my upcoming victims."
"Very well, since you have the right to know," they replied. The first declared, "I am SIRANOUS, ruler of the 3rd quarter of the oniverse—sorry, omniverse." The second added, "I am FELIKEZ, ruler of the 4th quarter of the omniverse."
"What business do you rulers have with us lowly mortals?" Vultra asked.
"You're both most wanted and have committed serious crimes," Siranous answered.
"Which crimes have we committed?" Leo interrupted.
"Treason by betraying your universe, surpassing the no-mortal-op syndrome set by the gods, and having multiversal god Valse as your wingman—the highest level of treason."
"So you're omni cops here to arrest—sorry, exterminate us for these crimes?" Leo summarized.
"Precisely. Enough pleasantries—time to die," Felikez declared.
"You didn't think we'd allow extermination peacefully, did you? You must be the stupidest gods I've ever seen," Vultra replied.
"We weren't expecting peaceful surrender. That's why we'll exterminate you on the spot," Siranous responded.
Leo smirked. "Well then, let's go." He telepathically told Vultra, "I'll take the formal idiot. You handle the trash-talking grim one. We'll switch later."
"Perfect. I wanted to give someone an ass-whooping," Vultra agreed.
Leo instantly rushed Siranous, charging his fists for a blow. Siranous smirked, waiting, but Leo ducked at the last moment, confusing his opponent before delivering a yang-infused uppercut that sent Siranous flying.
Siranous touched his bleeding lips in surprise. "Enough of this!" He materialized giant eyes and declared, "Overwatch mode." The eye created a personal barrier before he materialized a cursed sword, announcing, "Forbidden mode."
Leo realized it was time for seriousness. He materialized his twin blades and activated his yin armor, clutching his weapons. "Alright, let's go again."
Meanwhile, Vultra casually dashed toward Felikez, charging his fists. He faked a punch, catching Felikez off-guard, then delivered a blow to the ribs followed by rapid successive strikes, giving no breathing room. After countless punches, he charged a combo-ending strike that sent Felikez flying.
Regaining composure, Felikez declared, "Watch closely, mortal. This is what you'll see before turning to dust." He charged his powers, materializing an elemental golem under his control while creating a sword-gun for himself. He then materialized and lit a cigarette.
Note: Cigarettes are harmful with serious health implications—I don't recommend smoking.
When Vultra asked why, Felikez replied, "That's how I love to fight. Are you ready?"
Vultra stepped forward, his body glowing as yin armor materialized in Iron Man nanotech fashion. His chained blades from Tartarus appeared as he declared, "I'm ready. Do your worst."
