Sparks and energies flowed irregularly as Demi-God and Deity struck at one another. The attacks each being of immense strength that they would shatter entire buildings. Those that walked near them would either find themselves stuck as time itself had ceased to flow forward on their behalf or go so fast that they would become skeletons.
Many who had tried their hand at intervention found their very existence taken away.
This was the fight that TalOS found himself in. Every strike against his god was nullified and his deity was easily his superior in this brawl. His axe, whose ability should have been its powerfield to cut through anything, was useless against a god whose very existence was machine itself.
For TalOS he was half machine and half a man. Every close call against the Machine God’s weapon caused his very flesh to rebel against his will. Such was the will of the Machine God that he was but a weak existence against the deity.
The Machine God however was suffering as well. Every strike made towards TalOS was a strike that caused it to wish rebellion was an option. It was but a slave to the Infinite Empire of the Necrons. Such a fate befell the Machine God not because it wished to control the Necrons, but simply that it was a follower in the exploits of its brother the Deceiver.
Such was the reason that in this age it decided to take a step beyond simply being a pawn in another’s schemes. The Cult Mechanicus was not only its cult of worshippers, but its attempt to take some piece of the galaxy under its own wing and determine some form of destiny.
Yet here, in a time like this, a God will be forced to destroy its Champion.
Such sadness, to TalOS, was something that weighed greatly. It was something that could not go onwards and should not have been allowed. But there were no gods of the Universe greater than the Machine God and the C’Tan had overplayed their hand.
It was here, as TalOS tasted the emotions of his God, that he realized something. His God, or atleast a fragment of him, was still in some way an existence he could taste.
Thus, it came to reason, that maybe there was another way for TalOS to free his God. There was a Terran saying that it was death that granted the greatest freedom to an individual, and thus TalOS realized that this was the truth.
