Chapter 75 - Ice Marker: Wicked Chiller

(General POV)

Flashback...

Location the New Earth; Some distance from the Cube, Western Region: HYDRA Group

Golem roared loudly, as he stomped through the snow, charging straight at Attuma, who was already getting back on his feet, from the previous tackle he'd previously suffered.

Grinding his teeth from growing anger, Golem was just in range to connect a vicious punch, Attuma reacted quickly crossing his arms, guarding...barely...the flesh golem's fist, as he sent flying, smashing onto another tank, denting deeply into the tank's armor, groaning a bit.

Golem panting a bit in anger, as he ignored the bullets from some of the HYDRA troops, that aren't equipped with energy weapons.

Walking or better said smashing forward, directly at Attuma who dared insult the one being, that gave him a soul, Golem swore to himself he'll kill this "Blue Man", Attuma watched as Golem headed straight for him.

Once again reminding him of the Hulk, only with the clear intent to kill, not "smash" as the green imbecile yells, Attuma got himself out the tank, brandishing his three-pronged broadsword, he swore to kill Golem.

Golem responded with a simple phrase, "Me not made to lose." with that they clashed, massive claws and Atlantean steel blade clashed, until Golem managed to smack the face of Attuma, making him spit out of blood and slightly turn around.

Leaving Attuma open to Golem's next attack, stabbing his left claw onto the ribs of Attuma's body, blood sprotting out as Golem's strength and indestructible claws, broke through Attuma's armor.

Fighting back the urge to scream, Attuma only let out a groan in pain instead, as Golem grabbed onto the back off the neck of Atlantean warlord, sparks of purple electricity surged through Golem's engine and throughout his massive body, as he said "Me kill you now!!" Golem started surging electricity through Attuma's body.

Purple sparks shocking Attuma unable to break through Golem's grip, especially with a claw driven into his body, which is also causing another current of Golem's energy to directly hit him, Sin instructed her men without energy weapons to keep firing at Golem.

As much as Attuma annoyed her, she and her Grandfather need the warlord to achieve their goal and keep a grasp on the more warmongering Atlanteans, at that moment Rhino stood there, clearly angry, as he snorted loudly, and said, "You dare ignore me!!? The Rhino!!!? I'll make you regret that!!!" yelling loudly, as he charge in smashing onto Golem from the side, making the seventh Infernal Lord grunt out in pain.

While Attuma fell to his knee, free barely from the jaws of death, many of his soldiers rushing towards him to check on his condition.

Meanwhile Rhino drove Golem through a tank, exploding it on them both, as Rhino was pleased by this, thinking that payback was needed, then using his superstrength he tossed Golem onto the snow.

He was about to attack the flesh golem again, when more insects were emerging from the snow around the HYDRA forces, a sharp horn bettle ramming into Rhino, letting Golem get back on his feet, panting in anger, as once again someone stopped him from killing another person, even Golem was getting frustrated.

He began channeling all his stored energy in engine, throughout his body.

Bursting with various sparks of purple electricity, the snow around Golem's feet was melting away, from the intense heat of Golem's power, turning his head towards the "horned man", fighting and crushing one of Arakune's bugs.

Golem spreads out his arms, roaring to the sky, getting everyone's attention as a literal pillar of purple electricity burst out of him, Sin immediately realized something terribly wrong was happening.

She quickly order everyone, every single soldier and high ranking member of HYDRA to retreat, as Golem he smashed down his fists to the ground, falling to his knees, as he's about to destroy everything by unleashing his Thunder Beam.

Golem is surging with power, as he opened his mouth unleashing a massive light purple and neon mauve beam, obliterating everything Rhino thank to hearing Sin's command, he was able to react, leaping out the way of the beam.

While several HYDRA soldiers, Atlanteans, and vehicles were destroyed completely.

Sin also had to jump off her personal tank, as it was hit by the beam as well, everything, snow, metal, soil, and flesh has been erased by Golem's attack.

Sin looked at the beam, that nearly killed her, and she noticed that idiot Electro smirk, she yelled out, "Electro stop!!!" Electro ignored her.

The electrical villain, he was literally power hungry, flying at the edge were the beam is about to cross through, diving onto the snow with his body eager to be struck by the beam.

Engulfed by Golem's Thunder Beam, at first Electro felt a massive surge of power, bragging that he is finally becoming a God...when suddenly his suit was melting away from his body, this brought fear but before he could fear or even feel pain, as he was vaporized.

Dying for his stupid decision, lead by the desire of power, as Golem was about to force his body to shift, in order to erase everyone of these humans and fishmen, when...a massive explosion, followed with some shaking of the tundra is happening.

Golem knew this is Kefka's signal to stop fighting for now and head to the Cube, letting some grunts and growling, Golem forcibly lessen his power, slowly dismissing the Thunder Beam.

After a bit he was able to close his mouth, panting a bit tired, using that attack always drains him, slowly standing up, he spoke in his usual broken speech, "Me still wants to fight. Me want to kill you. Me can't now. Do it later. Kefka...you too not okay." Golem stomped away, as fast he can, while all the insects disappeared from around the HYDRA forces.

Sin growled, staring at where the idiot Electro has just killed himself, she scoffs and order her troops to regroup, as they have to continue, looking around she found a machine gun, walking over to it, she picked it up.

Saying to herself as she expects the gun, "If our advanced weapon don't work, let go back to basics." loading the gun, as strutting over to what remains of her forces...

Present Time...

Location North Pole, Above the Cube

A clown with blond hair with mitchmatched, patch-up, flamboyant clothed "man", laughing hysterically, as he held himself, shaking as he floated high above the snow covered tundra.

This is the Laughing Destroyer, Kefka, having just exploded a huge chunk of the pole, a melted crater now quickly being filled with freezing seawater, he was having a blast.

It been a while, since master Mao let him go out and have fun, controlling his laughing a bit, he snapped his fingers, causing a small explosion on the front of the perfect, snow covered, ice cube, that Mao created to be a special fun place, for them to really enjoy some playtime with these soo called heroes and villains.

As Kefka was imagining the screams, the panic, and despair on his new playmate, because destruction without death is boring, he even told that void obsessed tree, Exdeath this and that idiot never understood the true meaning of destruction.

Just then a black ooze emerged from the snow, sprouting a pair of fly wings, flying next to Kefka, it's one of his newest comrade Arakune, even without a face to expressed himself, Kefka could tell that Arakune is a bit annoyed.

Kefka adjusted his position, almost like a resting on his side, saying with a joyful expression on his pale white and makeup wearing face, "Well, well my black beast friend, how things go, from you're preview scrap?" Arakune stayed quiet for a moment, before answering with clear annoyance on his voice, "Kefka. You have great timing... I was about to kill one of that pathetic, dead archer's many ""original"" rivals." Kefka laughed at this, he was about to apologize for ruining his companion's fun.

When a huge crashing and grunting sound, caught both Infernal Lords attention, just at the edge of the Cube, it was Golem, who just arrived.

Golem looked up and his two fellow lords, he spoke, "Me here. You two, come down." both Arakune and Kefka flew down, landing beside of Golem.

Golem expressed in his own way, his annoyance that Kefka ruined him, killing someone that insulted their Lord Mao, when he said this...even the cold environment, didn't match the frigid, killing intent now emanating from both Kefka and Arakune.

They were summoned by Mao, they've pledged themselves to him, but they also have clear, and vivid memories of their past lives...

Kefka never achieving true immortality, gaining the permanent power of the Espers, and ending killed by that half-esper traitor Terra, Arakune was human, an ambitious scientist that craved being inmoralized in history, becoming this a mini black beast, and utterly losing reason, sanity, and rationality.

Both changed their fates, thanked to Mao, Golem was also included he was destined to die, mindlessly and obscurity, that brought anger to the flesh golem, it was clear during the upcoming fights, Attuma became a primary target.

As a silent agreement spread through the three Infernal Lords, right now they have to go inside the Cube, with Mao on warning they already now what waits within the Cube.

They have to spread out the vast maze like network inside it, waiting for their still upcoming targets to make their way to the Cube, and at pure chance, fight, crush, and if able kill anyone that they're facing soon.

No more time for games, now they started making their way down the side of the Cube, but before that Kefka took a step ahead of the others.

Channeling his magical power, throughout his body, as he summoned a number of meteorites, impacting not only the Cube and it's surrounding area, but as a bonus he unleashed his meteorite spell, some distance from the area.

Location the Void of the Forsaken, Castle Nightscream; Throne Chamber

Mao and all his wives, they are completely pleased, as a prompt appeared before Mao stating, [Congratulations you've just earned 30000 CP.] then another [Congratulations you've just earned 24500 CP.], seems that HYDRA forces their pissed.

Again another prompt came up, [Congratulations you've just earned 30000 CP.] Sin was clearly pissed, because regardless that she's forces to walk, with a diminished force and Electro dead, while he is a underused villain in comics, only cartoons use that character well and each interaction have one thing in command their idiot...well except for the MCU version.

Mao heard Lilithmon chuckling, stating she is pleased that their Infernal Lords are utterly loyal, and reverent to Mao.

This made Mao chuckle a little, this is a bonus for his Chaos System when summoning his Infernal Lords, they are loyal to him, even with the upgrades, and improve his followers, but he never removes the memories of their past lives, which add to their loyalty.

Aside that things are going smoothly, and already HYDRA is the one faction with the largest loss currently, watching as things are leading to the deadly maze like interior of the Cube, he'd created this will forced all those groups to split up, so they can cover ground, most likely clashing with each other and his Infernal Lords.

So all he has to do is continue enjoying the show, as well as keep planing for the huge...event...Mao has already started by creating the special site for the game, the Unnamed Forest of 20M square miles of space, plus a lot of starting traps and landmarks, spread throughout said forest.

Now his Chaos Points has risen to a 732510 points, Mao activated the Chaos System, appearing before him in a red transparent screen with pinkish-red wording, he thought it was time to add more things to his Unnamed Forest, starting with adding a weather manipulation system in the forest, separation pocket isolation of main parts of his Void, plus a special surveillance, listening, and detecting system that can keep track on his "players", and lastly a safe spot, a jail...kinda ironic the only safe place will be a dilapidated and filthy place, that many don't want to go into...but he'll have to add something special to that prison so his players can't remain there indefinitely.

Having thought it through, so he stated what he wanted to add [Expansion; Unnamed Forest Upgrade: Weather Manipulation, All Witnessing System, Dome Isolation, Addition: Abandoned Dilapidated County Prison, Low Maintenance & Hygiene, 24-Hour Safezone, 24-Hour Permitted Stay, Self-cycling Resources= 374500 CP. Do you wish to proceed?] Mao smiled as Chaos System was delivering exactly what he wanted, as he commanded the system to proceed with the point deduction.

His 732510 now became 358010, points well spent and another thing to check out of the list, for the upcoming game.

Mao rested his chin onto his right fist, as he and everyone else in the Throne Chamber watched the closest group the Legion of Doom is getting closer to the Cube, with the Young Justice with the G.O.G gaining some ground, the Suicide Squad right behind the heroes, and the slowest and most likely to arrive last to the Cube HYDRA, trenching through the snow to reach his little gauntlet.

Mao was eager for fighting and bloodshed to start again, as Luthor can no longer risk his drones to hold back the other group, he'll be forced to fight and kill with his own hands.

Aside that he's also thinking of who to summon next, along with expanding his legion of monster once again, as soon after the game or maybe during it, he'll unveil more horrific nightmares for the world to witness.

Nothing better than the suspense before the boom, aside from sex, killing, and partying...but Mao was getting off topic, as Shego, Lilithmon, Morrigan, and Looma got more snuggled beside him, Mao softly and affectionately brushed their hair, as they resume watching the chaos about to resume.

Right now Luthor and his group are just about to arrive at the desolation zone that Kefka so enthusiastic made, meaning that soon the Legion were going to be the first inside the Cube, and face everything that Mao has personally designed, and made just for everyone to enjoy, a twisted smile spread across his pale face, the thought of the blood, screaming, and desperation is making this much more entertaining, not just for him, but everyone else as well.
