>>5929077“Meloka, we're up.” you say, stepping forward to stand beside Towa. Then, clenching your fists you tap fully in to your Berserker Soul, ascending into the full strength of your Berserker God form. Immediately you tower over everyone other than Darkseid, taking another step forward. You feel your wife's energy shift to divine as she steps forward too, her divine aura blazing as she stands beside you. “Towa, back us up. We're going in.”
“Understood.” she replies, flourishing her spear as you and Meloka kick off towards the 'new god' as Towa called him. He immediately tries to use his eye beams again, you attempting to activate your Energy Body. However, unlike every previous time he's used them, this time his beams fly straight and fast. Both slamming square into your chest before your shield can activate. And instead of exploding, you feel both beams pierce straight into you. Stopping you right in your tracks.
“Kuh-!” you cough, spitting up blood as his beams halt your advance. But, with his attack focused on you he can't also stop Meloka, your wife drawing both her blades as she closes in.
“Don't stop! Leave your wounds to me, I won't let you die!” Towa <span class="mu-i">thinks</span> to you as Meloka closes the distance, spinning and slashing Darkseid's left leg dozens of times as she passes. Blood sprays as, no longer able to support his weight, he drops down onto that knee. The surprise and shock dropping to his knee causes him to end his attack. As the beams stop drilling into your chest you kick back off the ground, dashing back towards him. Darkseid attempts to fire his beams once more, no doubt planning to angle them around and hit behind him at your wife. Only for your giant fist to, a moment before he can fire, slam into his face as you roar. “HAAAAAAAAA!!”
“Guh-!?” he exhales as your punch sends him backwards, your wife kicking him in the spine with both feet. Sending him flying back up into the air, you and her both share a look. Then you both kick off the ground, dashing up after the new god. You watch as Darkseid reorients himself, flipping around to stare at you both as you both charge in. He sees you first once again, raising his forearm to block your heavy right, only for Meloka to flip around from behind you, kicking him in the left temple while his guard's occupied. You immediately take advantage of the opening she creates for you, twisting and firing off a left uppercut into his guts. Meloka, using the momentum from her attack flips around Darkseid, driving her knee into his face and knocking him back.
