Greatest of All Time – Season 2Chapter 23: the rise of quantam vs zero
The universe was still shaking.
The remains of Biyan's Personal Cosmos floated through space like pieces of a shattered world. Broken mountains, glowing fragments, and countless trees drifted through the darkness.
At the center of it all stood two wounded gods.
Bibek — The Time God.
Biyan — The Nature God.
Bibek's body was covered in cuts.
His left arm was already gone.
Blood slowly floated from his wounds.
Biyan wasn't much better.
His body had been burned by Time Retardation, but green energy continued flowing through his body.
He smiled.
"Still standing?"
Bibek wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Unfortunately for you."
"I'm very stubborn."
Biyan laughed.
"Then let's see how stubborn you really are."
WHOOSH!!
Both disappeared.
BAAAAAAAAAAM!!
Their fists collided.
A shockwave blasted across space.
Biyan immediately followed with a kick.
Bibek tilted his body.
SWISH!
The kick missed by a fraction.
Bibek countered with a punch.
BAM!!
Biyan blocked it.
Another punch.
BOOM!!
Another.
CRACK!!
The two gods exchanged blows at unbelievable speed.
Neither used a massive ability.
Neither summoned a giant weapon.
It was pure combat.
Fist against fist.
Kick against kick.
Speed against strength.
Biyan suddenly attacked with a familiar combination.
Bibek's eyes narrowed.
He copied the exact movement.
Biyan stopped.
"...What?"
Bibek smiled.
"Absolute Copy."
His body moved exactly like Biyan.
Same stance.
Same footwork.
Same punches.
Same kicks.
Biyan attacked.
Bibek mirrored him.
BAM!
Biyan kicked.
Bibek kicked.
BOOM!
Biyan spin.
Bibek spin.
For a moment, it looked like there were two versions of the same warrior fighting.
Biyan laughed.
"You're copying my combat?"
Bibek grinned.
"If I understand your movement..."
"I can use it too."
Biyan's smile became serious.
"Then copy this."
WHOOSH!!
Biyan suddenly disappeared.
Bibek turned.
Too late.
BAAM!!
A punch struck Bibek's face.
He flew backward.
He recovered in midair.
Biyan appeared again.
BOOM!!
Another punch.
Bibek crashed through a giant asteroid.
CRAAAAASH!!
He stopped himself.
Blood ran down his face.
He slowly smiled.
"Okay."
"That one was good."
Biyan charged again.
Bibek charged too.
BOOOOOOM!!
Their fists collided.
The shockwave shattered the asteroid belt around them.
But suddenly—
Bibek's expression changed.
His patience was gone.
"Enough."
He raised his remaining hand.
Time began twisting around his fingers.
Biyan's eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing?"
Bibek's blue aura exploded.
"TIME Retardation!"
VMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
A gigantic blue wave tore through space.
Biyan tried to escape.
Too late.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The attack hit him directly.
Biyan was launched across the universe.
He crashed into a distant planet.
CRAAAAAAAAASH!!
The planet split apart.
Mountains shattered.
The oceans rose into the sky.
Then—
BOOOOOOM!!
The entire planet exploded.
Inside a nearby spaceship, Arashio nearly fell from his seat.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Arashio stared.
"...A planet?"
Kiro nodded.
"Yes."
Arashio immediately sat down.
"Okay."
"We're staying here."
Far away...
Biyan floated among the remains of the destroyed planet.
His body was brutally burned.
Deep cuts crossed his chest.
Blood floated around him.
Yet he was smiling.
Bibek appeared in front of him.
"It's over."
Biyan slowly raised his head.
"No."
He spread his arms.
"I am Nature."
Red energy began flowing through the remains of the destroyed planet.
A tiny seed appeared.
Roots spread.
A tree grew.
Then another.
Then thousands.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
A new planet formed.
Biyan emerged from its surface.
Completely reborn.
Bibek stared at him.
"...Seriously?"
Biyan cracked his neck.
"Nature always returns."
Bibek sighed.
"Then I'll destroy you again."
He raised his hand.
"TIME Retardation!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Biyan was struck again.
His body burned.
He flew through space.
But once again—
Nature answered.
Another planet formed.
Biyan returned.
Bibek stared at him.
Biyan smiled.
"Again?"
Bibek's eyes became cold.
"Again."
The red energy around Bibek's hand changed.
A small sphere appeared.
It looked almost harmless.
Biyan frowned.
"What is that?"
Bibek held it in front of him.
"This isn't a normal phenomenal attack."
Biyan narrowed his eyes.
"Then what is it?"
Bibek smiled.
"It doesn't destroy your body."
"It eats your time."
Biyan froze.
Bibek continued.
"Every life has an ending."
"Every body has a final moment."
"And this..."
He raised the sphere.
"...takes that ending away from you."
Biyan laughed.
"Nah."
Suddenly—
BOOM!!
One Biyan became two.
Then four.
Then eight.
Then—
BOOOOOOM!!
Seventeen versions of Biyan appeared across space.
All of them smiled.
"Let's see you erase all of us."
Bibek stared.
"Seventeen?"
He sighed.
"Fine."
All seventeen charged.
WHOOSH!!
Bibek disappeared.
One Biyan punched.
Missed.
Another kicked.
Missed.
Three attacked together.
Bibek slipped between them.
BAM!
One fell.
BOOM!
Another.
CRACK!
Another.
The battle became impossible to follow.
blue flashes filled space.
Red flashes answered them.
Biyan after Biyan attacked.
Bibek continued dodging.
Then Bibek stopped.
His eyes became completely blue.
"Enough."
He raised his hand.
"MASSIVE TIME Retardation!!"
VMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
A gigantic blue wave spread across the battlefield.
One Biyan disappeared.
Then another.
Five.
Ten.
Seventeen.
Then even more copies vanished as the attack continued.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The omniverse vibrated.
For several seconds...
Everything stopped.
Stars froze.
Planets froze.
Space itself seemed frozen.
Then—
CRACK.
Reality fractured.
Arashio stared through the spaceship window.
"...That doesn't look good."
Siya slowly shook her head.
"No."
"It really doesn't."
The battlefield became silent.
Biyan stood alone.
His body was heavily damaged.
His breathing was rough.
But his eyes were still filled with determination.
Then he screamed—
"SAROOOOOJ!!"
His voice echoed across space.
Nothing happened.
Biyan clenched his fists.
Then—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
A massive green explosion appeared behind Bibek.
Bibek's eyes widened.
He turned.
Too late.
BAAAAAAAAAAM!!
A green attack slammed into his back.
Blood burst from his mouth.
Bibek flew forward.
He spun through space before stopping himself.
He slowly wiped the blood from his lips.
"...So."
He looked behind him.
A mysterious figure stood surrounded by green energy.
Biyan moved beside him.
Bibek looked at them.
Then—
Another presence appeared.
And another.
Four hands.
One warrior.
Bibek looked down at his single remaining arm.
Then he smiled.
"Hahaha..."
Biyan frowned.
"What's funny?"
Bibek clenched his fist.
"Four hands..."
His red aura erupted across space.
"...against one."
He lowered his stance.
"Good."
The four figures prepared to attack.
Bibek's eyes burned crimson.
"Because I only need one."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
They all charged.
The universe disappeared behind a wall of light.
And far away inside the spaceship...
Arashio slowly covered his face.
"Yeah..."
"I'm definitely not getting involved."
