𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 ― 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 — trifecta of magic circles.

Like man-made drills they bore into the Earth’s surface and same as them, they wouldn’t cease until the King Vessel willed it to be. Conducting their every movement with his affected hand— even the journey upwards into the —

𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 ― 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 — distance, reduced to naught more than the ceiling for their epic battle’s second phase.

At his opponents, the transformed Sinbad could only smile, cheekily. As if he knew something that they didn’t, glaring down at the daunting silence the world so far —

“ I’m grateful. ” he’d say, doing away with what rudeness his gesture might’ve given off.

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 The unfamiliar technique dubbed "kiai" successfully brought Garou into an accelerated descent, much akin to the android prior. Contrails of cosmic energy leaving his body during his plummet. But rather than impact the scarred Earth below, a conjured pillar met his frame. +

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 Managing an acrobatic flip, his landing shook the very silver-coated foundation of which he now stood upon. The trios ascent skyward ended within the outermost layer of the planet. Where no normal organism could even venture without an extension of supernatural means. +

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 His glare remained upon the combatants adjacent to him. Djinn and that of Machine. The Sun's rays cast their searing illumination upon his backside, which seemingly accentuated the galaxies that adorned his otherwise carbon-black presence. +

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 Was the proclaimed "thrill" of a fight all that Garou sought, too? Or was it something more profound? 『 This isn't one of your damn tournaments. 』 Tone directed at the transformed Sin. Abysmal sights fixated upon his serpent-like form. Soles shifting along the +

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 Pillar, accommodating that of a signature stance. His arms intersected, joined at the epicenter. 『 You're both nothing but stepping stones to further my ascension to the top. Upon my victory ill stand at the very pinnacle of this world. /No/, the whole damn universe. 』 +

*sinbad. 𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 Finishing that of a cliché monologuing, our prodigious Hunter drew upon the cesspool of power within him. Eager to utilize the full capabilities of his form within grandiose combat. Now, just who would make the first move...? #SLAUGHTERHOUSE × #DEADLOCK

𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 ― 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 And baited he would be.

Caught beneath the sails of combat, the Vessel of Typhon’s Power leaps from his first-place pillar. The intention to meet the opponents head-on, emblazoned by his war-like grin and adrenaline-filled eyes. Covering the expanse —

Should his turning momentum continue, following a dodge from Cell, or be halted altogether with a block, Sin’s —

If such deduction was false, a slash —

𝓒𝑬𝑳𝑳 ― 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 — of extremely-dense gravity would claw itself across the void, regardless. A mere after-effect of the Djinn’s very own attempt— bending space in its’ wake.

“Come now [𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫] do you truly think you can hold a candle to perfection?”

“Could that be? Ah well if it isn’t Android 21! Well if it’s absorbing our kind you’re worried about then fear not. There’s no use in chasing perfection when it’s standing right in front of you. Come now, no spoilers. I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait and see.”
