>>5629371As the light fades you gingerly take your hands from your face, pushing yourself back up to your feet only to feel your jaw drop in shock at what you see. The massive crater, made by the skeleton mage Ainz's spell, Fallen Down, has more than DOUBLED in size! Chilli's father's blast destroyed a massive chunk of landscape, carving up the mountain quite a surprising bit. The destruction is on a scale you've not seen since the Battle of Planet Namek. The entire battlefield goes completely silent, looking on in shock and horror. Then, from the left side of your peripheral vision you see a glowing speck, turning a bit only to watch Goku of all people flying back towards him.
But immediately you see that something's wrong. Despite only having his clothes scratched up, his upper orange gi shredded leaving only his blue undershirt, he's seemingly down to just his base form. Did Karn's attack do THAT much damage?
“U-Ultra Instinct? But how?” Aqua asks, you turning from the Saiyan to her, seeing Aqua looking confused. “How does a mortal know such a divine technique?”
“You know what he's doing?” you ask her, only for her answer to be interrupted by Goku's sudden, primal roar. Pale light explodes from him in a column that reaches out to space, a few moments later a heat wave slamming into you all from presumably him. “Yeowch! That's hot! What the hell?!”
“It really is Ultra Instinct.” Aqua says, sounding starstruck. But then there's another noise of concern, one much closer.
<span class="mu-i">CRACK</span>
“Dammit!” you hear Chilli call, turning your head up towards him only to see his Chaos Prison spell shatter, the form of the goddess he'd trapped in there emerging. And looking quite furious. “Tch! Crys-!!”
“BEGONE!” she snarls, sweeping one hand before her and launching a wall of some kind of rainbow magical energy. It crashes into Chilli, enveloping him and trapping him in place. The demon tries to throw out a hand towards Chilli, but before he can use his power she thrusts her other hand at him, forcing him to react in kind. The rainbow aura enveloping him throws Chilli straight to the ground with a thud. You look to him laying trapped there, and before you even fully comprehend what you're doing raise your right hand towards him, bracing your forearm with your left while focusing your magical power.
“Greater Ma-!” you call, preparing to break the spell trapping him, when suddenly every instinct in your body tells you to RUN. And before your eyes that rainbow magical energy starts turning to dust. Actual dust, not some fancy metaphor. And up from the ground rises Chilli, radiating with cold, deathly magic.
