Location: Undisclosed location, The Bleed.

In an undisclosed world, a dark vortex flashed open, abruptly spitting out a shadowy being that tried landing elegantly, only succeeding to fall spread-eagled on the ground. Quickly getting up the shadow looked around to discern if any being had seen that disgraceful incident.

Yes, the shadow that was spat out so unceremoniously on the ground, is our very own avatar of [Perpetua the Shameless]. She had once again tasted defeat at the hands of another.

At any other time, she would have been livid, but now she couldn't even be bothered to be angry anymore. As Perpetua's clone graciously stood up and observed the surrounding area, she determinedly concluded that she was having a tremendously bad day, and it seems like it would only get worse, what with the warning of [The Presence] still ringing in her mind.

But she still had to go through with it, and quite frankly could not stand living this ignoble existence that was neither here nor there.

As Perpetua clone made this 'profound' decision, she gradually dissipated from the spot no doubt to join the original.

.....

Location: Battlefield, The Bleed.

At the battlefield, the system was currently preparing for battle, with the outline of the divine symbol on the [Cosmic dragon's] skull completely formed.

The souls and blood essence of all the cosmic creatures it had killed and devoured, had their spiritual imprint destroyed by the Cosmic Dragon. With the large feast came a few skills that could come in handy in the battle ahead. As cosmic horrors of the bleed, the Lovecraftian [aberrants] and Eldritch [Abominations], truly had mind-boggling skills and racial traits that bordered on crippling insanity.

A good thing the System wasn't what you would call a conventional being, otherwise it would have become quite insane. A few of the skills it couldn't use like [Astral projection], as it didn't have a soul, but it saw a few that were somewhat promising, such as;

[Dimensional Link]: Gain power from higher dimensions.

[Madness Form]: Take on a visage that mirrors the very concept of madness itself.

[Madness Magic]: Induce madness on foes by giving them visions of horrors from beyond imagination itself.

[Small world]: Forming a temporary domain around the enemy.

As the system browsed through the skills it had acquired from the unfortunate souls, various cosmic beings started appearing one after the other. It looked at the terrifying creatures that appeared and wondered the various cosmic horrors they were to rain upon it and Jafar, when it recalled that the [Cosmic Dragon] itself was also a terrifying cosmic being.

Urging the Dragon into movement, it surged forward not giving the gathering [Chaos Gods] any time to think.

The [Fiend] and [Immortal] God's present, not panicked by its movement quickly surrounded the surging behemoth.

Pandemonium quickly fell on the battlefield with various powerful eldritch magical techniques being released upon the Dragon, while it roared defiantly in pain.

Currently, the [Cosmic Dragon] was not an actual living thing, regardless of how powerful it looked, it was only a puppet with its strings being pulled by the System.

The system had decided to hide that fact and retaliate when they least expected it.

As the Dragon bellowed in pain, from its cavernous jaw a dark corrosive mist exploded out, quickly spreading, stealthily corroding the minds of the weaker creatures that dared still participate without having a proper grasp of their abilities.

Combining the [Dark mist],[Madness form] and [Dimensional link] techniques created a terrifying ink-black dense mist that spread, billowing outward, while destabilizing the minds of the weaker Gods.

The system, on the other hand, went around killing and devouring the weakened creatures using the dark mist as cover.

[Boom]

Suddenly an explosive wave of energy swept through the mist clearing it while heading straight for the Dragon that had been lurking within.

Quickly avoiding the attack, the cosmic Dragon's head reared up.

[Cosmic Dragon breath]

Taking a deep breath, it sucked in all the energy nearby and exhaled bursts of cosmic energy in the direction of the attack.

Looking over it was taken back by what it saw, almost laughing. Floating in the void was an enormous smoking being sporting a large fly-like head with huge compound eyes, large eagle wings were attached to a tentacle-like body, while supporting all that weight were small disproportionate [chicken feet].

Looking at its feet it briefly wondered how something so small was holding it up.

With that errant thought came another barrage of attacks, when it emerged from the attacks it was battered and releasing purple blood from its wounds, which healed rapidly.

The [chicken feet] being he assumed to be the leader, was sizing it up as it healed.

"You are strong for a newborn," It said, it's grating distorted voice appearing within the system's quantum consciousness.

" You're not so bad yourself", the system replied after analyzing the method it had used for communication.

Knowing that its scheme had been seen through, It noticed that these beings had just been toying with it.

Thinking back, all the probing attacks it had sent were from the monsters it had devoured and none had actually done any damage to them.

"If this was how strong these ones were, how strong will the master behind them be?" the system wondered.

Dismissing that somber thought, it also decided to take the fight seriously as all it had sent previously were probing attacks.

It looked at the remaining monsters that were still gathered unscathed, counting them, they still numbered in the hundreds.

"Your masters want me dead, why?" It asked, distracting them.

Simple because you are weak" it's eerie distorted voice answered.

Just because you killed these weaklings, does not make you strong, it just emphasizes your weak......

It couldn't complete its sentence as its head was ripped off completely, putrid juices falling from its severed head.

The system proceeded to quickly dispatch all the [Chaos Gods] with a speed akin to teleportation.

An intense battle commenced between the system and the cosmic Gods, countless Fiend gods and Immortal gods were dropping like flies until all that remained was a heavily wounded cosmic Dragon surrounded by countless dismembered corpses.

......

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Breathing heavily, with each breath causing cosmic vibrations that rocked the bleed, the Dragon looked ready to drop, its wounds healing very slowly as it had virtually depleted its energy reserves on that kamikaze attack.

The system calmly appreciated its handiwork, giving itself a pat on its back.

When suddenly crazy laughter and howling erupted all around it.

[hahahahaha]

[hahahahahah hehehehe]

[eeehahahahehehehahah]

[eeaaaaooooohhhhh]

[hhooooowwwwwllllll]

Looking around itself, it saw that all the [Chaos Gods] it had killed were quickly piecing themselves backup, grotesque body parts joining together in a haphazard manner, while putrid fluid-matter being drawn back into dismembered bodies.

The system looked in shock at these laughing, crying, howling, screaming immortal nightmares, and wondered for the umpteenth time what the shit they were doing in this love-forsaken realm.

......

A battered-looking Dragon looked at the crazy gods while its size gradually reduced rapidly from 100 million miles, to 40 million miles, 300 meters, 50 meters, 20metres until it finally settled on a 3 meters long Dragon.

Although now it looked like an ant compared to the [Chaos Gods] healing, it released a violent threatening aura from its tiny body.

Hiding in a subspace watching the violent battle, was an uneasy "cosmic voyeur" by the name of [Perpetua], she too had felt the faint aura, and as the aura around the Dragon increased in intensity so did her unease.

Quickly sending out a command to the [Chaos God's] to end the battle, she also prepared herself to intervene.

The [Chaos gods] hearing the order, with a flash, were healed up.

The system looked at these eldritch beings, while thinking that even at this time they were still toying with it, seeing as they could've healed sooner.

The barely visible Dragon then sent out a blinding flash of purple-golden light into the thick [dark mist] that had been blown away previously.

[ Dark Dragon Storm]

The dark mist which had by now congregated into a stormy domain was quickly surrounding all the [Chaos Gods] present, and whether by design [Perpetua] was also included within this domain.

The ink-black mist formed dark thick clouds, with cosmic lightning running through them, strong cosmic winds formed a maelstrom, battering the angry [Chaos Gods], while ink-black rain started falling quickly forming an ocean of black water, submerging them completely.

[Lightning Dragon]

Thick purple-gold scattered bolts of cosmic lightning gathered, forming countless purple lightning dragon spirits.

These conspicuous dragon entities swam through the clouds and black ocean, roaring loudly while sending thick bolts of cosmic lightning towards the submerged creatures of horror.

[Art is an Explosion ]

[Dragon fart]

[Dragon goes night, night]

Countless weirdly named techniques were formed rapidly and sent towards the [Chaos God's] tearing them to pieces.

[Enough!!!!]

Countless horrifying voices all sounded at once.

The various chibi-[Chicken-feet] all gathered to form one gigantic distressed [chicken-feet] cosmic horror.

The gigantic being flapped its humongous wings once, sweeping everything away from it. Its aura grew until it threatened to break the dark domain formed by the Dragon.

"lowly creature, know your place!!"Its warbled voice bellowed.

"We have grown weary of your games" countless distorted voices came from it as It started absorbing the torn up bodies of its fellow gods growing stronger and larger, it's aura getting closer to what the Dragon was currently exuding.

"You think you are powerful," it[They] screamed.

[We are immortal]

[we are one]

[we are Legion!!!]

With that declaration, a horrendous creature, that words and size couldn't describe appeared in front of the Dragon, exuding an aura so powerful and distorted that it slightly affected the mental state of [Perpetua], while in the pocket dimension of the system Jafar's consciousness seemed to be disturbed.

[We have been in existence for more than a trillion of your Earth years]

[We have seen the rise and fall of countless Worlds]

[The birth and eventual destruction of universes]

[Who do you think you are to be in our presence, to fight us, to kill us, to devour us]

[Yooouu worm!!]

[You insignificant pathetic speck]

[Know your place!!!]

Screaming the [Legion] lunged at the Dragon.

The system, looking at Jafar's disturbed soul, knew that things were going tits-up and decided to wrap up.

It also knew that fighting these creatures was a fight in futility, without actually destroying their source of immortality. Besides it knew it and Jafar were actually not immortal, they could still be destroyed.

The Dragon's cosmic form had by this point been transformed into a mysterious gem flashing dangerously with a dark-purple radiance.

The aura of the transformed dragon had by this point reached a crescendo.

The [Legion] stopped its rant, when it noticed the Dragons movement, sensing something amiss it quickly attacked, alas it was too late.

"Quickly, stop it you fool," Perpetua screamed emerging from the hidden subspace.

Suddenly [Legion], in a trillionth of a second was next to the gem with its countless arms reaching for it.

[Booooooooom !]

An enormous explosion far larger and more violent than when the Dragon was born blew away the outstretched arms of [Legion] flinging it a great distance, just for it to appear back immediately as if it never left, as there was no such thing as distance in the bleed.

The dark domain that the Dragon had created expanded even more while some of the lightning Dragons exploded, which were then absorbed by the mist which was still absorbing bleed dimensional energies.

A crude wormhole had appeared at the epicenter of the explosion, the gem quietly slipped into the wormhole only to be stopped by a dainty pale hand attached to a not so dainty Chaos lord.

"Finally," Perpetua let out a slight breath of relief.

Through all the twists and turns she finally got her hand on this slightly troublesome creature, she could have ended it if she wanted, but she remembered that there was nosy God watching her every move.

She had sent one of the weakest but most appropriate out of her many subordinates for the Job, [Legion].

If the system knew that all this time it had only been fighting one [Fiend god] out of the much more powerful [Chaos Gods] that served under Perpetua, it'd be a wonder if it didn't spurt out a gallon of blood, that's if it could, right now though it was in the grasp of one the most dangerous Beings of the bleed.

The gem vibrated strongly in Perpetua's hand but couldn't budge.

"Stop this futile struggle" Perpetua ordered simply as she stared at the gem greedily. Although she wasn't here in her main body, the avatar that was here had about 70% of her will.

The vibration of the grew even more urgent, seeing as it couldn't escape it grew silent.

"Good" Perpetua nodded satisfactorily.

In the split-second Perpetua's avatar relaxed slightly, the gem's vibration seemingly in a last spurt of energy grew so violent that it almost escaped Perputa's grasp.

"Reckless," Perpetua snorted angrily. She gripped harder on the gem, almost breaking it.

Faint whines emitted from the Gem as its structure groaned in protest.

"Odd", Perpetua had completely seen through the entire situation surrounding the Dragon and that whine seemed out of place.

At the same time she had suspicions about the gem, a large change occurred in the dark dimension.

The dark mist was rapidly absorbed by the roaming dragons, as each dragon reached a bursting point, it fused with another forming a larger dragon with more capacity. This continued until only one humongous purple dragon remained.

The dragon raising its humongous clawed talons ripped a tear in the bleed, opening up a space channel, as the channel opened it slipped quickly into the already rapidly closing channel.

All this happened in a split second not giving any of the parties involved any time to react, but before it departed, it left a parting comment for Perpetua.

[Sayonaara, Bitch!]

.....

Location: The Bleed.

Perpetua looked pointedly at the spot in which the dragon had vanished in disbelief and absolute fury, as if it was gonna magically appear saying [gotcha], alas no such thing happened.

Calming down and looking thoughtfully at the squirming gem in her hand, she activated her cosmic awareness and saw a faintly discernible thread emerging from the gem and vanishing abruptly at where the Dragon had disappeared.

Smiling knowingly at the gem Perpetua applied more pressure which resulted in a painful wail emitting from it.

"Cut the acting child," Perpetua said with mild frustration, with her roiling emotions now in check.

The piteous sounds coming from the gem seemed to continue but ended abruptly when Perpetuas eyes glowed dangerously with her aura flaring briefly.

Alright, alright no need to get your panties in a bunch," The system's belligerent voice sounded out of the gem.

The system, seeing that the cat was out of the back, knew there was no turning back at this point as it knew for a fact that Perpetua had means to track Jafar using it even though he was no longer in the bleed.

If it ever was so lucky to survive this calamity it was going to pay back this crazy black-hearted bitch ten-fold, I mean which female in her right mind takes out her anger on such a beautiful gem such as itself.

Perpetua, having ascertained that she could reason with this newborn chaos fiend, prepared to seal it and flee this area as she had already been here too long.

As she gave instructions to the fuming [legion] to disband, she felt a dangerous fluctuation emanating from her clenched hand, having experienced the Dragons penchant for vicious explosions, she quickly sealed the gem with various sealing techniques.

No longer feeling the dangerous pressure, she still added a few seals for good measure.

Feeling slightly reassured, she turned around in preparation to leave when suddenly a brilliant blinding light spilled forth from the heavily sealed gem, loud cracking sounds could be heard emanating from it.

Feeling an ominous premonition, Perpetua's clone prepared to quickly flee, but it was already too late.

[Booooooooooooom!!]

Before everything went dark, the clone could have sworn she heard some unintelligible but specifically vindictive muttering coming from the exploding gem.

With the explosion, countless enormous space-time vortexes appeared with numerous pieces of the dragon-gem hurtling through them at great speeds.

When the aftermath of the explosion had disappeared, the numerous enormous spacial tears remained on the bleed, and didn't seem to be closing any time soon.

It appeared that another restricted zone had appeared in this nightmare filled dimension.

[P.s. on an unrelated note, at an undisclosed location was a very angry, raving mad psycho cosmic lady that had lost another huge chunk of her power on a very unprofitable venture.]
