The Divine Immortal Chapter 3: Reuniting Kin. (This is the unedited version)

Xerxes returns to Nammu, with a giant grin across his face. He can’t help but feel satisfied with himself after besting another god. As Xerxes stares at the creation stone and ponders how to best make use of it, a new voice enters his head

‘Free my brother…I lead the way’

Xerxes thinks to himself, “Obviously, recovering all the stones is the first requirement, thinking just two stones will be sufficient for my plans is foolish. But how best to make use of this stone…your previous owner was ignorant and arrogant in its use; you can create all of matter and you hawk spears at me? Call me the child!?? Foolish deity!!!”

Xerxes again stares at his new prize: “How best to wield you….”

‘Imagination’

Xerxes grabs the stone and slams it into the back of his left wrist.
Xerxes starts to feel the rushing power of a different stone going through his body. He feels a chorus of voices communicate in his head as he raises up and looks up at the black sky.

“I WIELD YOU AS THE KING I AM!” Xerxes shouts.

Xerxes then feels an on rush of dread….and fevered anticipation. A large, imposing figure begins approaching the small planet at frightening velocity.
Back at Nammu, Xerxes walks to a large crater near the ruins of a massive Nammuian city where he sees a large purple figure getting up from their knees. The figure climbs out of the crater where they see Xerxes on the other side of the massive impact crater.

“YOU!” The purple figure yelled angrily, “YOU HURT MY SISTER!”

“Who is this sister because if I am being honest, I barely remember her unless she was that blue child.” Xerxes said

“Creatie, My sister” The figure said

“Oh, so you’re her brother” Xerxes realized, “To say I hurt your sister is an exaggeration, I merely found and exploited her weakness”

“YEAH, I’ll introduce myself to your primitive brain.” The figure said, “I am Tsar”

“Tsar, I don’t remember you” Xerxes retorts.

“I don’t care if you remember me, Xerxes, I ONLY CARE TO KILL YOU FOR HURTING MY SISTER!” Tsar yelled once more

“Ah you must be the custodian of the destruction stone” Xerxes concludes, “I have no quarrel with you so if you could hand over the stone then I can continue my plans”

“I’ve already learnt my lesson from that” Tsar said, “And what are you going to do if I do give you the stone, attempt to become another tyrant with a lust for conquest!?”

“I do not understand why you assume I’m going to become another tyrant” Xerxes said

“I WILL ONLY GIVE YOU DEATH!” Tsar yelled

Tsar suddenly leaps at Xerxes and slams him to the ground

“I WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR GRAND PLAN TO HAPPEN!!” Tsar rages

“Welp diplomacy is dead” Xerxes thought to himself.

Xerxes quickly picks himself back up, Tsar shoots a blast of pure unfiltered destruction at Xerxes, and Xerxes starts to sidestep to dodge. Tsar begins an onslaught of ranged attacks at Xerxes, Xerxes elegantly dodges each blast when Tsar leaps again and grabs Xerxes with one arm.

“Enough of this!” Tsar angrily yells at Xerxes

Tsar quickly empowers his fist with pure destruction and throws his punch right at Xerxes’s head. Xerxes instinctively goes to block the punch with his left arm when his arm suddenly glows a Creation blue and Tsar looks for a gauntlet on Xerxes’ hand. Suddenly a shield of creation repels the blow knocking Tsar back.

“Creatie…Why did you give this animal the stone of creation!?” Tsar thought

“Of course, creation is the antithesis of destruction” Xerxes thought

Xerxes uses the stone and creates a Colossal sword of his own design and begins to walk toward Tsar. Tsar sees Xerxes approaching him and he quickly gets back up.

“If your wish is to test my combat prowess the so be it!” Xerxes taunts Tsar

Xerxes swings his Colossal creation sword at Tsar, Tsar backs up, and Xerxes keeps the sword pointed at Tsar.

“Sister what would possess you to do such a thing!?” Tsar thoughts still raged.

Tsar swings at Xerxes wildly and Xerxes easily warps behind him. Xerxes slaps Tsar in the back of the head with his off hand. Tsar tries to turn around and punch behind him wildly. Xerxes warps around again and fully rams Tsar using the creation stone as a big fist. Tsar is knocked into a corner. Xerxes remakes his creation colossal sword and points it at the cornered Tsar

“Now we can make this simple or we can make this hard” Xerxes offered.

“How about you piss off!” Tsar said

“How rude!” Xerxes said

“I would kill myself before I give you anything!” Tsar said as he tried to stab himself

Tsar stabbing tool is suddenly snatched right out of his hands from a vine coming from the creation stone.

“You’re too important” Xerxes said, “Now be a good little god and hand over the stone”

“Maybe… She has a plan against this animal” Tsar thought, “I’ll have to trust her instinct”

Tsar raised his hand and Xerxes waited.

“You want the stone, it’s yours!” Tsar said

“What trick are you trying to pull on you on me” Xerxes said

“This is no trick” Tsar said

“Prove it” Xerxes confidently said

Tsar generates the stone, and Xerxes grabs the stone from Tsar’s hands.

“Thank you, Tsar,” Xerxes said, “Now leave my planet”

Xerxes rips space underneath Tsar’s feet and forces him to fall through a warp point off world.
Xerxes peers to the stone.

“What a confusing pair of siblings” Xerxes thinks

‘Death is a part of life as destruction is the balance to creation. Nothing new formed without destruction’

Xerxes mind races with possibilities as he slams the destruction stone into his right arm. The trio of voices sings even sweeter to his ears.

“Now, how do I find the rest of your kin?” Xerxes says to himself

‘We will guide you’
