"Lot of No True Scotsman, huh? It's like you're using the word god to mean two different things - a class of entity that is distinct from mortal life in some objective fashion which you have failed to define as of now, and individuals of such who meet your standards."
Oca takes a backseat; I suppose him and Thor are tag-teaming Poseidon, in the sense that Thor is actually fighting whilst Oca tries to shred his worldview. No longer being quite involved in the fight, his active boosts fade out.
"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any evidence that shows your preferred virtues, and existence as biotic life, at 1:1. In my view, a truly righteous persona is both rare enough, and yet equally technically possible, on both sides of the spectrum that trying to apply such a correlation to them is the act of a half-wit."
/\。。/\Kratos's head snaps forward because of the shield and he stumbles forward, irritated. He then rushes at Carter, finding her to be a more slippery target than Hermes ever could.
However, as Gundyr discovered, bullets don't do much to stop Kratos. He spins a sword and throws it at Carter with all his strength, but then waits for her to dodge before performing a wide sweep with the other Exile blade, attempting to get her while she's busy with the first sword. And because Kratos is smarttm the first blade impale itself through a concrete wall, allowing Kratos to pull himself faster towards Carter.
However, he tug on the blade a little bit more to wreck the wall, interrupting his momentum to land close to her instead of reaching the wall. Sliding on the ground a little along the way, Kratos pulls out a fiery bow and skillfully fires a volley of fire arrows at the Brit, hoping to riddle her with them.

Two heavily armed individuals of a mysterious, humanoid alien race are having a discussion.
"Well, measurements are done, the infra-link is established, and we've got a communications lock with the transporter. Got the beige goo ready?", says mystery man number one.
"Beige goo is fully seeded and properly contained. Lets convert this hellhole and get back to work."
Pointing his arm towards the ground, the second mystery man launches a dart out of a device attached to his Amo's Bakery Personal Adaptive Armor and Low-level Reality Format Inhibitor. The dart strikes the ground, and is instantly converted into a beige substance that pools onto the ground as a small puddle.
The pool begins to spread, rapidly turning into a larger puddle as the subatomic machines that consist it convert the matter around them into copies of themselves. The ultimate nightmare scenario- not just grey goo, but clearly very well made grey goo, easily able to convert a planet like this one into itself in a manner of minutes.
But, rather than do this, the goo simply stops working as it approaches the size of a slightly larger puddle.
The two mysterious individuals, who were previously just about to leave, take pause at this.
"...Well, I'll be damned. The goo didn't work? Is that supposed to happen?"
"I don't know, man, I've never seen it not work! I mean, it's right on the label!"
The second mysterious individual pulls out a box of vials labeled "NEW! Amo's Beige Goo! Guaranteed to convert any celestial body* into delicious cookies within 3 minutes or your cookies back!"
- does not work on black holes. Do not use within the borders of Amo's Bakery. Bringing Amo's Beige Goo within 200 parsecs of Amo brand Cortex Bakers or Amo brand Idleverse Engines is punishable by all-nerve pain stimulation at a minimum sentence of 10^72 years.
"Uh. Do you think we'll get our cookies back?"
"I doubt it, man."
The puddle converts itself into cookie dough. It is now harmless.
The two mysterious individuals retreat where they came from, and are promptly vaporized for "attempted insurrection" (they made a negative comment about cookies)

Yatta!Luffy has decided to take a stroll, but it's a slightly time displaced Luffy so he didn't leave the big showdown, got it? It's not weird, promised.
He stumbles upon the mass of cookie dough and look down upon it, in confusion. He saw some "voices" but they were gone without a flash, so what was going on then? It's not like he was that hungry yet to just want to barf cookie dough, right?
But why waste the dough? Sanji would be so outraged at this, grmglbr! Luffy approaches the mass.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"Divine beings who has achieved perfection are deserving to be called gods. However, many deities use that title trivially, hence the confusion." Poseidon raised his trident to block the hammer strike, which prevented his head from getting cracked. Though the attack still punted him into the ground. Poseidon rolled across the ground gracefully, but was still struck by one of the lightning bolts.
After standing back up, the sea god stared at the hand struck by lightning without a hint of pain in his expression, before using it to dust himself off with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "I tire of this debate." Poseidon just glanced at Oca's general direction with boredom written clearly across his face. "Perfection is not something you can simply define in words, one must attain it for themselves to understand. How typical of a mortal to attempt a deconstruction of another's view, when they can't begin to understand the life of any divine being."
With a deep breath, Poseidon turned back to Thor and spoke to Oca without even facing him. "If you are going to throw nothing but words at me, then I shall focus my attention on someone who is worth my time." Kicking himself off the ground, the sea god closed the distance between him and Thor, executing an upward cleave with his trident in an attempt to split open Thor's stomach.
Marco rushes out of the ship, deciding to end things once and for all when he can. He attempts to end the fight the way it started with a talon attack kick, letting the bullets rip through him, some piercing his flesh and drawing blood that doesn't quite heal itself right.
Nonetheless, his subsequent scream is one of defiance as he attempts to kick Emma and drag her through the devastated area with his powerful kick!
...
Humph! A sea king? More like a sea devil at this rate, Whitebeard muses, damaged by the spit. His skin is burnt in spot, sloughing in others, but he doesn't let that deter him. Chump change all the same!
He begins to jump on the nearbiest floating rocks, deciding that time is against him but that he can't just blast away with his fruit yet. He spins his trusty Murakumo overhead as red-and-blac lightning surrounds it, and then imbue the thing with his Haki before slashing at Nagadilotep's head!
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterMaster Asia continues his assault, until he suddenly swipes his cloth upwards as a feint and knees Domon in the gut! "And clearly, you haven't taken that lesson to heart!"
Domon goes tumbling back, and Master Asia charges after him with a series of rushing knee strikes, until Domon manages to shove him back!
Master Asia spins the Master Cloth, somehow forming it into a polearm, which he wields in a naginata stance.
◊ He spins with each step as he advances towards Domon, swinging its end in wide sweeping arcs, forcing Domon to draw his sword and parry as he steps back. Eventually, however, Master Asia tries a risky one-handed overhead smash, causing his makeshift naginata to come undone and tangle itself around Domon's blade. In the moment of surprise, Master Asia lunges forth with his free hand.
"This is the original Finger!" Master Asia presses his middle, index and ring fingers against Domon's forehead and temple and discharges ki, causing Domon to suddenly stumble away in a daze until Master Asia kicks him to the ground. "The technique upon which ours are derived, in its most pure, unrefined form."

Arachnos' Passage
FINAL MISSION~QUANTUM BURST - Gundam 00 Movie
There is a temporary lull as the two fighters come apart as they stare each other down, gauging each other’s state. They may not be equipped with the same sophisticated equipment as the machines they pilot, but their own senses, honed to perfection over years of combat, are more than enough to tell them one thing: this battle is far from over. And thus, the calm before the storm must come to an end.
No words are said. There seems to be no need for any, at this point.
Master and student clash with almost elemental power. It is like witnessing a towering sea swell colliding with a raging forest fire, only with even more devastating results on the surrounding landscape. Centennial trees felled, mountains all but cleft asunder as flowing silk meets flashing steel.
Domon, fueling his strikes with the characteristic burning spirit of youth, wages battle like a living inferno of raw power and intensity, consuming all in its path. In terms of pure strength and stamina, he seems to have an advantage, but what he lacks in these domains, Master Asia compensates for in wisdom and experience. He seems to flow like water, dodging strikes with fluid motions and using any opening to retaliate with a strike of his cloth, with the force of a tidal wave crashing upon the shore.
It is anyone’s guess right now as to which of these primordial forces will be able to win the day. If the combat drags on, it seems likely that the old master’s font of strength will dissipate before Domon’s seemingly unstoppable blaze does. Of course, this is not something the Undefeated of the East is unaware of, and just one misstep on Domon’s part could bring this battle to an untimely conclusion, his flame snuffed out within the torrential blows unleashed by Asia.

"God no!" Rey blurts out to Stefan.
He then addresses Luize. "Oh, that sounds a lot better than the Wriggle I know. She tried to eat one of my friends and vaporized my brother."
After that... surprise, he turns back to Stefan to clarify. "So, no fighting. I'm just gonna watch. The main fight, I mean."

Harvak
Harvak would do a Quizzical Tilt at this new maneuver if he currently had a head. He doesn't, so he just stands there.
Other!Edelgard can sense him, though his energy signature seems dark and corrupted. Regardless of that, her emerging punch blows him into the air!
He manages to right himself and starts to slowly float back down. "You are certainly skilled..."

Narktus
"My apologies," he says to Tamashtoya. "I am Narktus..."
He thrusts the vajra and catches the head of Zenobia's axe between its prongs, parrying the strike to knock her off balance. Then, he grabs her by the face and flies up before slamming her straight down.
"And I have fought armies and won. I won't struggle to keep up."
He keeps his free hand on Zenobia's back, not making much of an effort to pin her down, but she still struggles to rise against his weight. "You're... certainly not... a pushover!" she says through gritted teeth.

Mata Nui nods to MCU!Thor. "Normally, I would stay away. However, I was drawn here by the nearby Elder Dragon's abnormal life energy. Feeling so many others near it, I felt I should come here in case it was wreaking havoc."
Reyna turns to Nicole. "I followed him for the same reason."
She then points at Kulve Taroth. "And there's the Elder Dragon in question. Turns out she was just watching, too."
Kulve glowers at Reyna. "That's Reyna," she tells Veyolkos, "the huntress that was mentioned back on the Divine Beast."
"Awwww, ya miss me?"
"Stop mocking me. I hear you know where the Ancient Flame might be."
"And why do you need it?"
Kulve nudges Ahtal-Ka. "To return her to her true form."
Reyna rubs her chin like Jetstream Sam in that one scene from his DLC story.
"Hmm... maybe I'll help you."
"I would rather let Veyolkos eat you than enlist your help."

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Something about Null's phrasing upsets Lucina. She grits her teeth, briefly flickering red.
No, you're wrong. We're not insignificant. This fight is just about them, not us.
Lucina ducks down to avoid Null's blades, dropping to a kneeling position. I do not believe they would want us, strangers, to kill each other over their long rivalry.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterNull simply looks down at her, the Void playing across his hands and moving up his arms, and then he sighs simply. The swords disappear from his hands as he continues to look down at her.
"I suppose you're right. They wouldn't want us to kill each other because they are rivals. Apologies for acting so.... Brash."
Null would offer a hand up for her, his shoulder still bleeding pretty badly, but the Void had already begun to make its way into the wound.
"I just wish for my master to be pleased with how far I've come is all, so I jumped at the first opportunity to prove myself. I did not wish to kill you, just thought I would have to."
"Just a humble peasant looking for work~"Guyana Highlands
Veyolkos grinned a little at the sight of those before him, his hawk like eyes easily scanning over the group in all their details. Profiling aside, the Laitivern walked forth on his knuckles, his scales on his back and neck rattling as he did so, locking eyes with the bizzare menagerie of hominids. It was obvious to Kulve Taroth and Ahtal-Ka his behavior was reminiscent of a agitated Seregios, as he then took a step back and weighed his options before speaking.
"A huntress... Funny thing to encounter one out here... In corpse cloak. But I take it you all came for the show which has a surprisingly low mortality rate for what's going on."
Hs looked back to the two golden girls behind him. Oh if only they knew. He was envious of Reyna's wares, though he knew he would rock the look better. He answered again in his more, elegant tone. He was no playboy but at least he sounded like someone who thought before acting. Which was... Partially true.
"Look. We don't want to deal with... You all that much. It's nothing too personal, but point is in the right direction and I...
We. Will go in peace. None of you guys came all this way to potentially kill somebody did you? That'd be rather... Senseless, wouldn't it?"
AwawaYeah we probably should spread out the characters more
"No, I didn't. It's probably just a coincidence. Probably.", she responds to Loki.
"I actually agree with you here, my dislike of violence is entirely personal, as in I do not engaging with violence myself but mostly don't care what other people prefer if they like it and don't get people hurt.", she responds to Sarah at the same time, simply waltzing over to her to make sure the message gets across.
Once finished with this, she looks around and, rather than say anything more, simply observes.
...But what is she observing, more important than all of the conflict and conversation swirling around her, such that she would space out and focus on something else?
To her sense of hearing, she hears a name that interests her. A voice that says:
"I am Narktus...", yes, that is what it says.
...
...Wait a minute, is that Zenobia?
She watches closer, at that.
Other!Edelgard rights herself midair, soaring higher into the sky to try and keep herself at range away from Harvak- hypothesizing that the fellow doesn't have a particularly excellent method of striking at a distance.
"Why, thank you for the compliment. I'll try not to disappoint you!."
She takes one of her arms and pulls it back with her fingers fully outstretched, energy focusing on each fingertip. Then, she extends her whole arm forward, a beam of powerful ki erupting from every digit on her hand- but instead of them all converging on Harvak's position, they instead almost immediately recoalesce into a single, extra-large beam!
"Focused Flicker!"
Compared to the energy this attack could contain, it isn't very powerful, but that doesn't mean it isn't mighty in its own right! It is, after all, a variant of the most powerful attack she's been seen to use!
...
...
...
- Have you ever thought about a world where everything is exactly the same...
- Except you don't exist
- Everything functions perfectly without you
- Ha, ha... The thought terrifies me.
...
DO YOU NEED. THIS. INCESSANT REMINDER. IS THAT A PART. OF THE STORY? IS IT. NECESSARY?
I UNDERSTAND. I AM ALIKE. TO THAT MAN. BUT. WE. ARE. NOT. THE. SAME
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Yatta!Nicole chuckles at Reyna and Kulve Taroth's exchange.
"Someone's got a knack for pissing people off. You want me to give you two some space before the Golden Girl here goes all beast mode?" she remarks.
Then she nods to Veyolkos.
"Like you said, me and the boys here just came here for Domon and Master A's big smackdown. You ain't gotta worry about any trouble from us, dude."
Thor raises an eyebrow at Mata Nui.
"'It?' This dragon is clearly the furthest thing from a mindless beast imaginable, my friend."
He shifts his gaze to Kulve before greeting her with a wave.
"I don't believe we've met before. I'm Thor, son of Odin."
Loki, on the other hand, regards Ahtal-Ka with mild interest.
"Your situation could be worse, you know. Better to be cursed with a smaller, more humanoid form than, say, transformed into a frog," he says.

Seeing Angel's (perceived) acceptance of the apology, Stefan did nothing but give a thumbs-up and quickly walk away, almost stumbling over another rock. Almost.
He'd need a lot of Noisia to get that face out of his head again. So he took a pair of earphones from his pocket and picked a particularly harsh Drum n Bass track
to listen to. Another couple of deep breaths...
What now? Coming back to the other people with the similar homeworld would probably be a good idea. But Stefan also wanted something else, something to prove that he had truly been to another universe, just in case that one day, if he survived long enough, he might be able to go back home... His eyes rested on a food truck, where someone had an unusually large belly for the rest of his body.
He walked over to the truck and asked:
"Excuse me, do you have some kind of really odd trinket that I could keep around for a long time? Or a business card, that can do, too."
Something was still nagging him. That exchange with the Anime girl earlier didn't quite seem natural...
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.She smiles at Angel.That's fair. Ok, I'm going to engage in violence now! Sarah leaps into the air, spinning once and then launching herself at Narktus by kicking off the air, taking the form of L L LIMIT BREAKA as she rushes and attempts to hit Narktus with a Dynamic Entry kick, meaning to strike him right in the torso and send him flying with a concentrated kick using her right leg, skillfully gathering the force of it into one precise strike to hit Narktus all at once in the chest and send him flying!
I found a way to make things fairer, you guys! Let's go! Sarah doesn't attack Zenobia now, instead leaping into the air and manifesting an electric aura to shoot lightning around herself, attempting to hit him and Tamashtoya with bolts of lightning. If they hit, they'll be briefly stunned on top of the damage, allowing Sarah to try to blast them aside with fast beams of light shot from her finger tips, shot as she hangs upside down on the air.Let's just fight like it's a battle royale! It'll be fun!
She then looks down at Zenobia, smiles, and goes for her, preparing a punch infused with electricity.I'm winning this one, Zenobia! The punch, like every physical move thrown about, doesn't do damage to the surroundings. Sarah focuses her strength on her enemy and her enemy alone.

His skin is tough, and while the trident carves a nice red line through it, actually stabbing at Thor feels much more like trying to get through diamond or whatever crazy durable substance there is in his own pantheon.
Yelling not out of pain but out of anger, Thor attempts to step forward to grab Poseidon by the throat and hold him in place as he attempts to spike him in the head with his mighty Mjolnir ! Then, he grabs the hammer two-handed, leap into the sky, and hurl it at him, several air-and-lightning cones appearing around the hammer, along with fire, as he throws it hard enough to kickstart a wide ass explosion !
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThe Serpent had grown intrigued by the man's persistence. There was almost a sense of the great beast musing itself and the melting form of the pirate. Especially on that "sea devil" comment. Nagadilotep found himself laughing a little at the conclusion.
"Chump change? Oh ho ho... What an odd statement... What an odd sense of pride."
And as the man came forward towards him, the Sea God continues to speak, but almost as if his voice surrounded the approaching pirate, the Serpent recoiling as of ready to spring forward in response.
"What remorseless emperor commands thee?"
The blade came forward, dark storms in the wake as it arches towards Nagadilotep 's head. He hatched a plan, and began to propel himself forward as his jaws leaked saline breath.
''"You no longer govern your soul..."
He would attempt to suddenly swim over to the side. Part of him would be hot of course, but he made sure he overshot his strike-
"I am completely immersed in darkness-"
Before coming in from behind with his jaws intent on snapping the pirate into his maw, hoping to them pull him into the water.
"But you turn your body away from the sun!~"''

"Oh, man, really? You realize how this looks, right? 'Urgh durr... I can't actually explain my position beyond tautologies so I'm going to just DECLARE myself the winner and move on'. Lol. Lmao. Fucking moron."
"I guess you're right about one thing. Debating with you really isn't worth my time."
Schlapping his palms together, he flares up his aura around himself once again and starts revving up power, before dashing in and um. Throwing a series of flaming punches at Thor AND Poseidon.
/\。。/\After some tedious preparation, the God Ward is finally complete, meaning Tamashtoya won't be completely obliterated by the divine weapon now. Though, the newcomer declaring the fight a battle royale mucked things up a little. The Rakshasa quickly lowered his stance and ran to his right to avoid getting blasted by Sarah's attacks.
"Spicing things up, are you? Fine by me." Tamash ran his hand over his weapons and coated the blades with a layer of toxin designed to paralyze the victim. Despite his gesture, the demon did not immediately engage in close range combat. Instead, he took a deep breath and blew out a large cloud of gaseous toxin towards Sarah and Narktus that has the same paralysis effect.

Jeridan tapped his foot against the ground while hanging around and watching the spectacle. Most of his attention is focused on Domon and Master Asia, though he has to admit that he has trouble keeping his eyes on them at times.
"Say, what can you do?" The young man seemingly asked out of the blue. "I don't feel quite comfortable telling people my ability without getting to know something in return."
__
The god of the sea is not surprised that Thor isn't wounded as easily as he wanted. After all, this is a fellow god, and it would be severely disappointing if he can't even take a single slash. Poseidon is forced to block the hammer spike with his arm and a glare in his eyes after Thor literally grabbed him by the throat, resulting in his left arm getting damaged even further. Though, he was able to evade the explosion by leaping backwards.
Despite getting his arm injured, Poseidon almost forgot about the pain as he turned to look at Oca with wide eyes, just because the latter decided to use those simplistic, human internet lingo in an attempt to insult him. The sea god tried and failed to hold back a vicious, mocking laugh, because even Sasaki did a much better job at pissing him off than whatever Oca was saying, and that human wasn't even trying!
Holding his trident right, Poseidon used a mix of evasion and blocking to avoid taking damage from Oca's fiery assault. Then, he leapt into the air and rained what appears to be tens and hundreds of trident strikes
◊ onto both Thor and Oca, similar to lightning bolts in a terrible sea storm. Poseidon considered using his domain, namely the ocean, but his pride wouldn't allow him to use it when a mortal is present, which is why Thor and Oca gets to have this technique instead.
Filia stared up at Anne, watching the stardust tears fall from her eyes. It seems she struck a chord with Anne, but the demoness isn't as emotional. At least, on a surface level. Filia opens her mouth to speak but briefly chokes up. Clearing her throat, she speaks.
"The worst feeling, despite all he had done, was my father's death. I have a very intense relationship with him, very back and forth. Though at that moment when he died, all I could feel was regret. The only way left to honor them is to piece it back together."
She pauses for a moment, resting a hand gently on her chin.
"I.. appreciate your empathy."
Seeing such a chord struck with Anne prompts a very gentle response from the demoness.
"There is no weakness in tears, no need to apologize. And, honestly, I expected little in common when I first saw you. Your very holy appearance led me to believe I was being judged at first."

I can kinda tell you don't like what I'm speaking bout! But I get ya, going off what you heard and what you said... how about I explain myself? She floats in mid air, sitting cross legged.
I kinda met my husband by punching him here. I'm also... hm, a bit inclined towards fighting, though I lessened it. To me, there's the meaningful violence. It's when fists meet and communicate ideas. Sure, it's a dumb beatdown from the outside point of view, but it's so meaningful to people. You can tell a lot about a fella if he aims above or below the belt. Or if he's willing to attack if you're distracted. Or if he talks shit or stay quiet. It's all about gauging someone and identifying each other without words. But it's also about improving oneself. Seeing flaws in other people or oneself and fixing them! Or just punching better; she winks. Every bloodied nose, or scrap, or bruise, or missing teeth, is a story of learning. And once you're done with it, you'll have become more atuned than if you spoke to one another. Like -Hi Mallol- I learned a lot from you by the way we fought !
Someone like Master Asia or Domon, they are a bit like that. They're gruff, or not that social, because their feelings can't be communicated with words. It's something only fists can convey. What's going on there; is both a old fashioned slugging and an incredibly important "conversation" between each other, maybe the last they'll ever have, so they go at it.
Fighting is how I keep in touch with my friends or my sisters. And while we do talk more regularly, I feel it's how I understand them better. It's how I understood... well, part of you, and how you understood me back. Meaningful violence is good in the Arena. It helps all these crazy people guess each other when words or characters don't match.
...
Thor screams and grabs his hammer, attempting to hit Poseidon in the top of the head and smash him through the ground. If Thor succeeds, he then points his hammer and repeatedly shoot lightning down the hole. NO! MONKEY MAN IS MINE TO SHIT ON!
Sarah laughs at everything going down with Thor, Oca and Poseidon, but in an amused way. There's also meaningless violence but it's fun to watch, long as all the participants can defend themselves. Meaningless violence against people weaker than you? That's a bit pathetic.
