Shattering Humanity
Chapter 220: "...’Now That I Think About It’..."
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." -Psalms:4-5

{Current Day 10:15P.M.}
[Roronora Lake]
With the black clouds looming over, continuous rods of Berserk Saku’s lightning and the unrelenting thunder combination, is now striking randomly around the entire blood lake below.
The Yin Vessel has hovered more towards the East.
While using ridiculously bright streaks of intense heat, some of the bolts are narrowly missing the storm caster during the actual connections with the giant Icemen victims below.
Within 10 minutes of Berserk Saku’s littering of lethal lightning, out of 105 of the completely destructive aliens, 98-
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!*
... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
...-99 of them have been sentenced, struck, and splintered into ice chips/flakes, that fall or float to their shared shallow grave.
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!!*
...100...
Still stationed a little more than one mile away from his hovering, out of control, contemporary force, the Yang Vessel has his Anjell Eye at a under control 2nd Stage, while he carefully picks the inside of his still recovering sound sensor. The pinky he uses has flakes of dried blood on it and the goofball wipes the crud off with his pants as, he is "admiring" Berserk Saku’s useful ability to erase an entire army of his controlled demolition monsters.
On the other hand, his dark inner self is appearing to be cocky and well ahead of the capabilities to his rival.
Katsu(thinking): *Heh, you won’t get me this time, you god damn bastard.
Sure, I’ll take a heavy loss in my supply of giant Icemen, but they also take up too much space and I don’t plan on destroying anywhere else while we’re here in the Sozo County... Maybe.
Unfortunately for you, the real arsenal is protected and are sleeping for now.*
The Above Sanpaku gaze of the Izanagi Captain moves straight down from Berserk Saku, and takes a peak at the only surviving structure left as proof of Roronora City’s existence, True Bloom Arena.
The wooden hand carved letters are safely secured to the roof of the arena as they barely wiggle in the high force winds.
Lightning strikes hit the top of the sports dome but even the upgraded strength in electricity doesn’t cause damage.
Katsu(thinking): *There’s been times that bitch DaeMon would tear it down completely and how many times have I missed my opportunity to command those stupid smaller aliens to find the shelter?*
As if knowing the answer to the self asked, rhetorical question, Katsu releases a slight chuckle before another giant Iceman in the distance is struck by lightning.
Stopping the fate decided alien in it’s tracks before it starts crumbling to join the human blood submerged mass grave of their comrades.
Katsu: "Well, I guess, now that I think about it, I think Big Sis Scylia might say something like this would be considered kind of poetic.
The remaining fragments of the alien mass murderers, being laid to rest with what is left of those they have slain.
Wouldn’t you say, Shell?
...Shelly?"
He looks over to his purpose, her beautiful golden locks are flowing in the wild winds.
With her back to him, the true Valkyrie Clan worthy young woman is standing on the very edge of their platform’s "pointer finger".
Her majestic, glorifying golden pink SoulSeiõrShield, is blazing off of her body in it’s newly earned Mach 2 form.
Trusty Madame Fryer is floating right next to her deserved owner.
The two watch as the massive bright blood red clouds that are left by each gigantic vessel, begins to travel towards Berserk Saku swaying over the lone surviving stadium.
Just like the red clouds that escaped from the smaller version of the enemies, each of the crimson clouds travel to the bright white Eye of Wisdom within the pitch black aura covering the left half of unconscious Saku’s face.
After circling through the pitch black aura, like a pet goldfish going down a toilet drain, the aura clouds disappear into the white light where Saku’s Anjell Eye is supposed to be.
Shelly: "Katsu, we should probably get lower.
I’m still not even close to the speed of light, and we could get struck at any moment."
Katsu: "Oh, yea! Good call, Shell!"
He turns and looks at the ice giant under the direct orders of it’s human commander.
Without saying anything out loud, Katsu nods and the giant Iceman nods back.
Like a living ice/diamond overhead canopy, the other hand of the alien rises up and stays over the two Izanagi Captains as if protection from a sudden strike.
The Vessel for the Anjell Eye of Communication puts his tattooed thumb up and smiles at the ice beast.
Katsu: "Thanks!"
He turns back to his vice captain.
Katsu: "Now we should be aaaallll goo-"
In almost too perfect of comedic timing, a few bright bolts hit close by the pair of adopted siblings and the visible violent vibrations of thunder are released close by into the air, traveling towards them.
Before the attack can reach the protecting Iceman’s hands, Shelly has already reacted to the flash.
Before Katsu had taken damage to his ear drum in a chivalrous act to protect her, Shelly’s Mach 1 velocity was only as fast as the speed of the literally vehement sound, but now, she is twice as fast and is not handicapping herself with a tooth gripped katana.
In one single fluid motion, with the bite mark covered handle in her right hand, the swords woman does a ’X’ cross swipe, and enough time for the air slices to disrupt the incoming attacks.
The woman warrior immediately turns back to her purpose with a serious teary eyed look.
Shelly: "Katsu!
Please!"
The nervous and guilty adopted brother pumps his palms down to try and calm her down.
Katsu: "Okay. Okay. Sorry..."
He goes back to turn around but before he can make the command there is a close by flash...
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!*
Shelly quickly turns to defend the presumed incoming shockwave but to their surprise, the covering hand above them cracks first and then everything else along with their only platform at their feet.
Katsu: "Uh-Oh...."
They look at each other and the adopted sister has a very dejected look while her too lackadaisical partner nervously grins.
With nothing between them and the 40ft (~33m) drop into a shallow dive, Katsu starts free falling.
Luckily for him, before he touches the surface of the bloody lake, one of his wrists is grabbed clean out of the air.
Because Madame Fryer was already floating next to Shelly, the fast acting team manages to save Katsu from breaking his legs and spine.
The grateful saved young man looks up with a smile.
Katsu: "Tha-that was a close one...
Thanks again, Shelly."
While looking around for another possible strike from above, Shelly tries to set up a ’game plan’.
Shelly: "I think I know how we’re going to beat him, but it all depends on whether or not I can stay indecisive on two separate possibilities until I absolutely have the opportunity, so he can’t predict my moves with Princess Rebekah’s ability."
Katsu: "You got this! I’ll help you in any way I can!"
Shelly: "But, Katsu...."
Katsu: "Hmm?"
As if afraid to release the information or nervous of disclosing the ’option play’, the sword surfer swallows her spit.
Shelly: "...The most likely one involves me killing him."

{Within Saku’s Space Yggdrasill Mindscape}
With Pangaea completely split apart and the continents in their geographically known positions, Saku and Lilith are still sitting on the revolving dead planet that "killed" the originally planned celestial body for humanity.
Lilith: "I may have given you the Eye of Wisdom, my son, but you say I have helped you appreciate life again, but I believe, that was your doing all along, my child."
Saku tilts his head in confusion but quickly starts to admire the new smile on the face of his past scowling mother.
Lilith: "It was all in your own freedom to choose how you would use the blessing that I bestowed upon you, whether or not to use those absorbed abilities to make your brothers and sisters happy."
Saku looks back out at the planet known as the home to humanity and sighs.
Sakue: "I guess.
It’s just...
It’s just there’s these three girls that I feel like I’m letting down while my Anjell is uncontrollable..."
There is a pause before the mother of all humanity breaks the silence.
Lilith: "Those girls you cherish and who cherish you are pretty cute, aren’t they..."
Saku: "Maaa!!!"
The young man blushes and turns away from his giggling representation of the human woman who gave birth to him.
Lilith: "Heheehe, I’m sorry, my son. I didn’t mean to be intrusive, it’s just when Yahweh and I were planning on our final designs for the physical forms of our children, I had wanted the cutest little girls and the most elegant women."
Saku begins to think about Princess Kawaii, Laban, and especially Itsuka. He starts to blush again.
Saku: "Yea, they are kinda cute and elegant in their own ways.
Now that I think about it, I have an adorable furry buddy too..."
