Chapter 53 - Chapter 53

Hey guys!

I got a little announcement at the end with a whole bunch of author's notes.

Before we get started, I highly recommend that you go over to QQ to read this story, it's on the NSFW story site and the name is slightly altered from "What is this, a hotel full of has-bins" to "What is this, a hotel for has-bins" I say this because I feel like the QQ version is the definitive way to read it, sound and all.

If you lowkey don't feel like doing all that shit, then just go on Youtube and play Flower Man when the POV changes for the first time.

Now, enjoy the show!

She thought she got out of this habit.

Ever since she was young, Charlie always bit at her nails whenever she was nervous. Both Lilith and Lucifer hadn't thought of it as bad, thinking that it was just one of her quirks and since she could regenerate any damage if it really happened, it wouldn't be a problem. However, when she first went to high school back when she was 113, she finally got out of the habit, with people thinking she was weird.

Right now, however, she couldn't stop biting her nails, seeing James on the big screen. The camera for the original broadcast had already gone out when the barrier that Jevil put up was activated, however, Charlie had made a scrying spell and imbued the TV with it so everybody could watch.

Angel gnashed his teeth, grinding time against each other while Daki's obi constantly moved behind her, something that doesn't happen usually. The only one that wasn't actively panicking was Niffty, though she was definitely starting to sweat. Her reasoning was that "He promised me, he promised me that he wouldn't show back up to me half-dead like last time, so he'll win." Something simple, yet her belief was solid.

More than once did Charlie just want to go down there herself, giving Adam a piece of her mind and helping James fight him off, however she knew that was impossible. She tried moments before, but a chain appeared in the middle of her chest, blocking her from going out the door or teleporting at all. It turns out that when Lucifer signed the contract for the exterminations, he put in a clause stating that neither the angels nor Charlie could ever attack each other in any way possible.

So she could only watch. 

She could only feel her heart flutter when James landed a clean blow on Adam.

She could only feel her heart drop to her stomach when Adam endured it easily.

She could only feel her heart stop when Adam rammed his arm through James' stomach.

And she could only feel her heart soar when James got up, six souls beside him.

"Hey Adam." He said, cracking his neck, his armor now stripped away to reveal only his naked chest with a scraggly pair of pants ripped to look like shorts. "I got 2 girlfriends and a boyfriend at home sleeping…"

He snapped his fingers, two versions of his armor appearing behind himself and posing like someone else was in it.

"Let's give 'em something to wake up to!"

****

The souls were overpowering.

Seriously, I could feel power coursing through every fiber of my being. However, it came with a tiny little catch. You see, unlike Flowey I couldn't manipulate reality or literally save and reload time like he does. Since this isn't Undertale and DETERMINATION couldn't be an end all be all, the power he souls granted me was just a massive boost and a grab-bag of powers I could use along with a new form.

Speaking of power, I quickly had to move my head out of the way of a stray light-beam shot at me by Adam. Don't get me wrong, it was still fast, but it didn't feel like I was actually dodging light this time, I could actually react to it in an orderly fashion. I smirked, using telekinesis to lift some of the rubble I was standing on up along with my armor-clones. It was time for this fight to get serious.

…And where is that music even coming from? 

Ah, whatever.

["🎵10 feet twenty, the Roaring Knight. He's waiting for the cries of some plight🎵"]

Using the aqua soul, I summoned a handful of knives to my hand, throwing them continuously as they regenerated. They homed in on Adam who tried running away, but they were just a tiny bit faster in catching up to him. However, only one managed to stab him and that one only got in his shoulder with him using his light to dispel all the others. He quickly rushed towards me, letting out hella beams of light that I narrowly dodged, waiting until he got in close to start channeling the blue soul.

["🎵 Fighting for his life without a plan, like the every daily.🎵"]

We got in hand to hand, with me being on the defensive while trying to jump him with my armor-clones. With the blue soul I had gravity manipulation, so all I needed to do was land one good blow on Adam and…

"GRRKL!" He couldn't help, as he was suddenly descended towards the ground with his weight increased by a factor of 10. It wasn't helping that I and my clones descended on him, with our weights also increased and with me focusing Star Rage into my feet.

Unfortunately he dodged me, however, one of my clones still tagged him, stomping on his thumb and judging by the bitten back scream of pain, that had to at least be a dislocation. His head swiveled over to me, pointing his hand with his unbroken finger at me and letting out more holy light-beams. I dodged most of them, but I suddenly felt a hot and painful feeling in my shoulder, like it was just stabbed.

I looked down quickly and saw a light beam piercing through it. Shit, he must've made his light ricochet off the clone! I gotta really stop taking him lightly.

["🎵 Man that bothers the Roaring Knight. Could I do something to make him laugh? Inside my little chamber made of glass.🎵"]

The red soul was one that perfectly synergized with me, being able to boost me as long as I was actively attacking. I swiftly came upon Adam again, Hell-flames covering both of my arms as I wildly swung at him. 

["🎵So he lived the…🎵] 

I started with an overhead swing that he dodged, pivoting into a cross to my chest that I had to block. The blow was truthfully strong as hell, making my arm shake a bit, however I couldn't stop, feinting a left and jabbing with the right, knocking him right in the chest.

["🎵Roaring Knight! Roaring Knight! With his heart, full of light! So he stands. To watch the whole wide world taking flight!🎵"]

The fire licked his outfit, burning off a patch exactly in the shape of my fist. Adam looked at me with a snarl, stomping his foot on the ground while throwing a punch. I was gonna step back to dodge, but the force for some reason was screaming at me not to. In a moment, I got why it was saying that, blocking another punch that made my bones quake, I felt that just behind me, a geyser of holy light erupted. He probably injected his light into the ground and planned on fucking incinerating me with it!

["🎵Way up high, in the sky, with the moon shining bright. Ain't it nice? My night forever in…His life!🎵"]

Well Adam better back up cuz I got some tricks as well. I stopped channeling the red soul, getting the Orange one instead and dashing into him, knocking the fuck outta his face. The orange soul just allowed me to dash, simple, yet effective considering that it didn't have a cooldown.

["🎵10 feet twenty, the Roaring Knight. He's waiting for the cries of some plight🎵"]

Using the orange soul continuously, I constantly knocked Adam around, blood spraying out of his mouth with every hit. Is this how Naoya felt? Maybe being a weak ass, punk ass misogynist is the move if it's this effective.

["🎵 Broken off armor, still without a plan! Yet the every daily🎵"]

I kept doing it, each punch making the hellfire lingered more and more until most of Adam's clothes on his upper body was burned away, revealing all the nasty bruises that I had been stacking on top of him. I went in for another dash, this one aiming towards his collarbone, but something very unexpected happened.

Somehow in the middle of my punch, he just disappeared from out of my sight and before I could do anything, something heavy impacted my stomach in a direct hit. The wind was knocked out of me as I was launched back, coughing up a glob of blood on the ground. How the hell did he just do that, I know he isn't that damn fast, so how the fuck did that happen!?

My eyes came up to him, taking in his form and noticing how his body seemed to be glowing. Was he…Using his light inside of his body to enhance it? Fuck, he must've gotten that from me using my mimicked cursed energy and nen! I got up and into a fighting stance, my feet spread open with my arms close to my face, however even if I focused all of my attention onto him, I could only barely see him move.

Wait a minute, even if he was enhancing himself, I should still be able to track him, unless…Unless this holy light is weakening me! Fuck, I should've noticed it sooner! My theory was interrupted as Adam appeared in front of me his hand reared back, though completely open. I used the force to narrowly pull myself back in barely a second before a truly massive laser of holy light was thrown out right where my face was.

And what was even worse was that the holy light broke the barrier, giving away my buffs and giving Adam his stats back.

["🎵 Hope that powered the Roaring Knight. Would never cower off his path, even if broken he is more than glass, so he lives the…🎵"]

I clicked my tongue, channeling all of the souls' power at once. 

["🎵Roaring Knight, Roaring Knight, with his HEART in the LIGHT. So he stands…To watch the WHOLE WIDE WORLD without plight!🎵"]

In an instant, my body changed, instead of pure black like before it began to turn and twist into white with hints of all the soul colors rippling on the edges. You know what? I think I'll call this form…

OMEGA KNIGHT!

["🎵HE'S UNTAMED, NOT THE SAME. KICKING ASS! TAKING NAMES!🎵"]

Adam didn't react, his eyes still focused on mine and vice versa. At this point nothing was needed, no trash talk, no taunting, no nothing. At this point the only way for us to communicate was through the rippling of flesh that we felt when striking the other. In other words…At this point…

WORDS WERE MEANINGLESS!

["🎵Ain't it strange?🎵"

No more fancy tricks.

THUMP THUMP THUMP

No more light, no more gravity, no more fire.

WHAM WHAM WHAM

Just pure hands.

We were both bleeding heavily, Adam looking slightly worse off than me with a busted lip, black eye, bruises all over his face along with his body actively smoking and cooking from the inside. I wasn't any better, however, with my eye bleeding internally, making it hard for me to see along with hella bruises and a couple of my teeth impaled into my upper gums.

Adam raised his hand again, slowly grasping the air and making a fist before slamming it down as fast as he could in an overhead swing, with me barely moving back and attempting to capitalize on the miss.

["🎵Ain't it strange? A life forever for…🎵"]

However, instead of moving back, Adam actually stayed with his head down and tackled me onto the ground and rolled, holding me tight. I tried to struggle, but the force hit me with a dangerous sense so powerful, it made my skull rattle. I looked up where it was coming from, only to see a massive pillar of holy light coming down on us.

Shit, he's planning on taking both of us out–

VVVOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

["🎵…James🎵."]

*****

'Dear father, this is a disaster.'

Sera thought, speed-walking her way to her office. It wasn't enough that a spike of power on par with a God had appeared in hell, but not only had Adam fought it and came back with fourth degree burns all over the inside and outside of his body, but his lieutenant was also fatally wounded with an angelic spear through the back.

Adam was not a natural angel, only becoming an Archangel with father's power inside of him, meaning that his holy light was not natural. Though he is much more proficient in using it over thousands of years, holy light negated durability and was infamously known for halting regeneration and weakening people. There's a real chance that Adam could–

'No, I won't even entertain that idea." Sera shook her head, continuing to her office where she opened the door and saw Emily sleeping on her desk while she snapped her fingers, a stack of files appearing in a flash that she began to try and work through.

However, before any of that could happen a blinding flash of light appeared, causing Emily to wake up and even Sera to shield her eyes. When it calmed down, there was only a single person in the center.

"Alicia? Hello? What the hell is going on, what did you even mean by–" James asked, his body being the same but now sporting a bright gold halo.

These eyes also act like a Supercomputer when it comes to processing energy and information, granting you incredible efficiency when it comes to using your abilities and allows you to passively make incredibly taxing calculations. But these eyes are taxing to use and you may need to cover your eyes to rest them due to the amount of information they passively process.

THE END.

So…Ya'll prolly got some questions.

First of all, there's gonna be another chapter explaining just what happened after all of that and why James was talking about Alicia when he went to Heaven.

Second of all, James was never gonna win. If he had gone OMEGA KNIGHT and tried to instakill Adam instead of doing a Ryu vs Yuta moment, he would've won. Instead of playing with his food, allowing Adam to figure out how to use his holy light, get a few licks in and use his holy light to achieve mutual destruction.

Third of all, after the next chapter (which is prolly gonna be a little short) I'm going on hiatus here. To be honest, I planned out a lot of this plot, but this is the max I planned, even the story before this one, I always planned on James going to Heaven, but I never planned what happened after. So I'll be working on the jumpchain fic along with something else.

Fourth of all, the other things are commissions. I now have a Kofi which you can check out here for my QQ peeps, but my Webonvel peeps gotta go to Ko-fi.com/mrlegantrop I got 6 slots open and for 5 bucks every thousand words, I'll write whatever…Granted it's not like gore or something disgusting or something I don't know.

So yeah, next time you'll be seeing me, I'd have uploaded my jumpchain fic and this'll be the end (for now)

I'll save my goodbyes for next, but i really liked this fic.

Buh-bbbbyyyyyyeeeeee!
