The solar system was under in a great cosmic fire -- raging on.
Countless beams of blinding light illuminates the perpetual blackness of space, they were fired from both sides -- the Humanity, and the alien Zorathian swarm.
The zorathian swarm, a race of chitinous insectoid f ckheads -- once almost eradicated the human race a few years ago, now they had returned to redeem themselves for not finishing off the humanity.
Their starships, made of organic matter collected from the corpses of planet eating aliens. Covered in carapaces with strange glowing markings, orifices where the beam composed of purely cosmic essence energy were fired. Each ships had cosmic essence generator, where the cosmic essence acts as a battery.
The alien force is led by prophet-king Zhask. His dogma is: Destroy anything that lives. With that, they remain as the only superior race that ever exists. They travelled countless universes, alternate realities, timelines, even the outside of time itself.
But the humanity is not an easy prey anymore unlike the past.
One of the humanity's spaceship prefixed "HES"(Humanity Empire's Starship), a spaceship in almost same form as the ww2 japanese battleship yamato but now heavily modified for intergalactic voyage and space warfare. Her captain named "Giliver Herder", a slick back blond haired white american 30 year old man, gripped the railings. His blue eyes focused on the countless displayed holographs. He asked: "What is the current status of the situation"
"Enemy count decreased to 2.3 billion ships sir"- LT. Argon Reycillio spoke: "But our sides lost 29 ships.... no.... we just lost another 3... and 4..."
Giliver slammed his right hand down to the railings. He cussed. Then he spoke in blank tone: "Increase the spaceknots to 70% We will make their projectiles hit their own comrades"
"But sir..."- Argon protested: "This is madness!"

In HES I-401's hangar bay, three Seiran planes rested and are on the standby. Each planes no longer resemble of that submarine launched ww2 floatplane "Aichi M6A seiran". These planes were sleeker in design, aerodynamic, lightweight, and strictly meant to carry one person.
The 3 pilots clad in black spacesuit, entered each of their own assigned plane. Among the pilots was named "Wonny Dionaldo", a 19 year old filipino man, green eyed and his hair is white blue, hairstyle in a korean two block with bangs covering his eyebrow. He and his other two pilots, carried one katana where the hilt is a cosmic essence generator -- just in a grim case if their plane destroyed, their cosmic essence itself will be used as a weapon.
Wonny yawned. He cracked his knuckles. "These space bug f ckers are courting death. Last time, I fought them like crazy... and it turns out they were cowards... unless if they had more allies with them."
Wonny activated the seiran plane -- the thrusters glared in blue light, but plasma gases don't fully come out -- only a light first.
The hangar bay opened. Wonny saw the countless energy projectiles of different colors, flying around. Beautiful, but intimidating -- only the crazy souls would dive into that.
As the three seiran plane exited from the hangar, the space torpedoes comes out from the tube too at the same time -- and the HES I-401 "submerges" right after the moment the torpedoes exited. The ship submerges, not literally, but it pierced something so that it can "dive" into the dimensional rift(the other void). Eldritch beings lived there, but they won't mind a starship entering the void alone. The I-401, and just like the other star submarines, do have periscope and is used to see the "outside space" outside from the void.
______________________________________________________________________
At the outside, the battle continues with the numbers from both sides dwindles further.
The Starbattleship Yamato charged so fast so that the enemy projectiles could not keep up with the speed of the ship and the projectiles ends up hurting their allied ships instead of the yamato.
"Commence firing!"- yelled captain Giliver.
Everg single armanent from the HES Yamato fired both sides, from left, to right, to bottom, to top. No enemy ships are spared.
The cosmic essence based projectiles, and cosmic essence infused projectiles, punched each Zorathian ships -- then exploding into miniature suns. It wasn't enough to wipe those ships, it only leaves a crack on their plating.
The HES Missouri, Bismarck, and Tripitz, does the same thing -- obscuring the Zorathian's vision with innumerable incoming projectiles.
Prophet-king Zhask's kilometer wide flagship "Zrazrazra", keeps spitting moon-sized cosmic essence beams. "YOUR WEAKNESS DIES WITHIN YOU!"- his psionic screech even echoed to the human's starship comms. Their cosmic essence beams morphed into an even wider form, a form akin to a maw of creature, guided by the zorathian soldiers using telekinesis to guide the projectiles making sure it hits the enemy.
Some maw shaped projectiles, a hundreds of them, hit the HES Missouri's shield, exploding in impact.
Space warplanes rages into the battle -- planes named after ww2 warplanes, now upgraded with an advanced spaceworthy technology amd enhanced with cosmic essence. Alien organic based warplanes akin to scarab, beetle-like features, but including some unfamiliar otherworldly features that don't exist in Earth, met the humanity's warplanes head-on. A cosmic deathmatch occured. Missiles and shells flew in space.
Debris from the fallen destroyed craft, scattering around. Occassional explosions from the destroyed crafts became random, and then it became a constant occurence as explosions happened every single seconds. It's like a fight of flying ants, innumerable by numbers.
Wonny's Seiran danced through the battle. He perfectly mentally synced the seiran plane: He thought barrel roll, plane executed flawlessly exactly he wanted, while he half-dodged an alien craft through mental thought command.
A Zorathian warplane latched into the left wing of his seiran plane. Wonny chuckled. He consumes an amount of cosmic essence through his right palm, it passess through into the outside of his plane from the cockpit, he morphed that cosmic essence into a dagger, then crystallizes it to achieve a solid state, then latch it into the alien craft like a hungry parasite. Black colored blood comes out from the alien craft's affected area. The craft explodes into black inchor, the explosive force does not affect the plane itself.
Seiran's rotary guns shoots purely cosmic essence projectiles in a form of explosive balls. Firing to any side where the enemy craft was. The plane passes through a tight asteroid belt to hunt down nearby zorathian warplane.
Meanwhile, HES Yamato shuddered under massed fire. Giliver snarled: "Increase the ship's speed to 80% spaceknots! We will fight the enemy flagship ourselves. Should have done this earlier!"
Yamato's engine howled harder.
Somewhere, the Zorathian flagship remained in position. While debris casually colliding the ship without making some scratch to her hull. Zhask ordered his su ordinates: "That one ship is heading to us straight alone. Shatter their sun to end it once and for all."
The allied zorathian ships acted at once in perfect harmony, producing auras in various colors linking at first then turned into a sinlge yellow color. The aura slowly formed into a lance shaped, and then it crystallizes -- a massive CE based construct meant to hit the solar system's sun. If it hits the sun, the HES ships would go turned off at once. However, he's a fool for not knowing each HES ships had their own cosmic essence generator within them as their powersource.
"Not today f ckheads!" Wonny's voice yelled, echoing to the comms.
Seiran jumped in solo in a speed
of 100% spaceknot, emerging inside the Swarm. Dogfight escalated to absurdity. Wonny produces cosmic essence outside to his plane, and morphed it into discs -- freezing razor disc, he telekinetically hurled. The discs carved the zorathian warplanes in half.
One disc grazed zrazrazra's hull, freezing a tread-section solid. Meanwhile, a Zorathian veteran pilot, Karlseggs, in his personal modified warplane, witnessed it. He screamed as if he thought it was an ultimate form of insult: "YOU BETTER PAY FOR THAT SH T!"
His plane quickly exited from the hangar of zrazrazra. His plane moved at mach 50.
Wonny stops the warp and exited the seiran plane and mentally command it to move towards the crystallized CE lance and blew it up.
Wonny coats his katana with cosmic essence energy, Then superheats the aura, and parries the incoming zorathian customized warplane with his own katana. It grazed Karlsegg's plane -- then it blew off.
The seiran dove autonomous in battle, unloading miniguns while Wonny flew free -- cerulean cosmic essence aura engulfed him, it burns louder. Karlseggs exited from his own plane, and flew towards Wonny heads on while screaming like a wild man.
Their fists clashed, then the blades they created through crystallized cosmic essence, then the chains -- fighting in zero-G ballet.
Wonny swung his katana wildly almost in every possible directions, as if there is no tommorow left for him. Karlseggs dodged, then he telekinetically hurled explosive orbs from his palms; Wonny deployed countermeasures -- cerulean colored CE aura formed into shields and solidified, the orbs collides them and explodes. His shield dissolves into fading harmless particles(happens when the user stops focusing on their constructs)
Karlseggs powers up further while screaming louder, engulfing himself in yellow aura. Then flew in near light speed towards Wonny.
"Sorry, not interested"- said Wonny as he then threw several freezing based sphere shaped projectiles towards Karlseggs. The first 3 projectiles hit Karlsegg's shoulders and right arm. The last 7 projectiles is an overkill -- it landed on Karlsegg's head too much.
Wonny flew in mach 100 speed and finishes his corpse with a 1.4 million times slash done in 6 seconds. And after that, he put his katana back to its scabbard.
_____________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile, the ships continued fighting.
HES Tirpitz fired her armanents wildly -- sending a continuous barrage to incoming 5,000 zorathian ships.
HES Missouri followed Tripitz, then HES Bismarck also followed, both moving closer to the HES Tripitz. The two ships unloads countless overwhelming amounts of CE projectiles.
That moment, their projectiles is more than a number of grains of the sand beach.
HES I-401 is still from the other void. It occasionally launched torpedoes which enters to the outside space -- while the vessel itself is safe from harm unless if the zorathian fleet possess a ship that can dive to the other void.
Zhask's CE lance is about to be thrown. It's now fully charged. "This is where the nonsense ends"- said he with a smirk.
The HES Yamato arrives on time. Her spaceknots decreases to 50%.
Giliver screamed: "FIREEVERYTHING!"
The CE projectiles in various colors flew through enemy lines. Most nearby enemy ships were hit, some weaker ships blew up. Some projectiles grazed the Zrazrazra's hull. But it surely destroyed the giant CE lance construct, making it explode wildly.
Zhask clenched his fist so hard for the first time. He deployed his cosmic essence to outside of his ship, then formed into a giant non-human looking single fist, crystalline, yellow colored. Zhask controlled his construct through the movement of his fingers, aiming the fist construct to the HES Yamato.
It flew forward fast -- destroying some unfortunate nearby Zorathian ships on its way.
Wonny intercepted in time -- with his seiran plane flying next to him. The plane blasted the fist with its rotary cannons while Wonny coats his Katana with CE aura.
He created CE based chain constructs shotting out from his katana, thousands of them latched on the giant fist, engulfing it tighter. He tightens the chains' grip on the giant fist while his Seiran plane keeps hitting the same giant fist.
Until it explodes into a violent mini star, almost blinding Wonny's eyes.
the seiran plane targetted zrazrazra's grazed hulls -- further breaking it until a hole is made.
And finally, the big man Zhask comes outside. He flew towards Wonny.
His fist landed on Wonny's face before Wonny could even think.
Wonny tried to grab his katana but another punch lands. Then another. Another. And another. Almost breaking his spacesuit.
Wonny shoots an explosive CE beam, it missed.
A fist landed on Wonny's chest, he tried to throw a kick but another continuous punch from Zhask followed.
At this rate, Wonny's spacesuit is in a danger of breaking. Unlike the Zorathians, the humans need a spacesuit to survive the space. Zorathian is a race that don't need spacesuits to survive space.
In last ditch effort, Wonny shoots CE energy balls in any direction faster than he could think of, faster than a second. No projectiles has ever affected Zhask. Some lands, some missed.
Wonny laughed. Zhask stopped from moving. Wonny spoke blankly to him, his tone lacked any hint of emotion: "Finally I can hate you as much, even if you won't last long"
Zhask's fist shook harder, hearing Wonny's words -- but why he laughed -- Zhask wondered.
The two exchanged punches in ftl speed, moving so fast. Their fight escalated to the multiverses, alternate realities, even reaching to the dawn of time.
Zhask is a 124 year old zorathian. His CE powerlevels is based on his constant rigorous training. The more you train, the more it increases your CE capacity and the faster you increases your CE to its capacity limit. While Wonny's power level is fueled by pure spite -- his hatred on aliens has no any form of reason of it. He hate them because he can -- not out of righteous indignation, his hatred just exist without reason. His hate increases his CE powerlevel, now giving a sudden advantage where he can now land his attack on Zhask.
To the eyes of aliens, he is a cosmic calamity that erases all races. To himself, he can hate them because he can. It is his freewill, his personal choice. He never struggled in life. But he chooses this kind of life, without any reason.
"I don't care who you are.... I just want to see the color of your blood"- said he, as means of taunting.
Meanwhile, the zorathian ship numbers are dwindling faster than usual. Most enemy ships are blowing up. The zrazrazra flagship is now already been blown into pieces.
While HES fleet numbers remained.
"Just keep the pace!"- yelled Giliver in glee as he gives command to the HES fleet: "Luck is on our side!"
_____________________________________________________________________
The fight escalates and continue elsewhere.
Everytime their fists and kicks and elbows and kness collides, it shooks countless planets, eventually blowing them up. Stars were not spared, blackholes too, and other existing celestial objects.
Their speed, were immeasurable. They occasionally passes through the other void by accident -- slaying some eldritch beings as they move fast. The othervoid has no any celestial objects, no stars and moon which is a source of their CE -- but as long as they are using their CE they won't ran out of CE.
Eventually both contenders went outside from the othervoid.
Zhask got a good grip on Wonny's face, hurling him to a planet 100x bigger than jupiter, has 4 thousand moons.
Wonny's body almost landed on the heart of volcano -- he stopped mid fall, now suspended in the air before his body could touch the boiling lava.
However, this creature is not like the other, it was a living volcano, capable of speed, speech, and even FTL flight intergalactic travel.
