Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 40, HxH Greed Island FINAL
- *EXPLOSION*!
...Using the skill Lesser Self-sacrifice, Abigail had all of her remaining metal spider soldiers within the throne room except one self-destruct. Flames roared and shrapnel from all possible angles shot through the throne room... and in the middle of this explosion was Misaki, a member of Team Japan. At the very last second he covered his body in the Hardening Armament Haki to withstand the blast... but it was not enough.
Misaki: "Ah....."
Over a dozen pieces of metal stabbed into his flesh and destroyed his body. The explosion itself didn't have much effect on Misaki as a Fire Dragon Slayer, yet the large pieces of shrapnel pierced him and damaged all of his important vitals... and only his head was left unscathed, which he had been guarding with his arms. Misaki, losing too much blood from countless fatal wounds, fell to the floor and coming to his side was Shin.
Shin: "Misaki... Misaki! Hang in there!"
Abigail: "Ha, what are you even doing turning your back to the enemy. No matter. I'll use this time to restock on my spider soldiers!"
Abigail then, while in her Duel Avatar form Amethyst Queen, began producing metallic eggs from her Enhanced Armor, Legs of the Spider Queen. Soon over a thousand eggs filled the throne room and soon countless robotic spider soldiers of differ ranks would be born... yet Shin did not once look towards the enemy and kept watching Misaki as the life drained out of his body. Misaki was beginning to slip out of consciousness, yet a source of power began to rejuvenate both him and Shin.
Shin was confused at first before recognizing it as the magic power of Hikari's magic buff spells. Shin then looked around and found that Hikari was nowhere to be found. He had no idea where she was or how had she applied her magic spells, but was glad that she did. The enhancements from the buff were far stronger than ever before and the light within Misaki's eyes was retuning. Misaki's life had by no means been saved, yet that gave Shin hope... even though he was still bleeding out in his hands.
Shin: "Misaki! This, this isn't the end. Hikari's spells are even keeping you alive... I'll figure something out, so-"
Misaki: "...Shin... I failed."
Shin: "What are you-"
Misaki: "I failed. I killed Mokoto once already and her new life is tied to mine. I'm not stupid. I'm already dead and I've failed again. Mokoto... even Ren... I... At least Mokoto and I we be together in death this time."
No tears flowed down his eyes, yet Shin could see weakness and infinite sorrow on Misaki's now pale face. Misaki knew death had arrived and was just waiting for him to take his last breath, yet this was unacceptable for Shin. Shin was about to do whatever he could. Take out medical supplies from the Na Ring or even channel Ki into Misaki’s body for some miracle to occur like in Manga and Anime... yet life was not fiction. Still Shin wanted to do something to save his best friend even if it left him even more vulnerable to Abigail preparing her army at this minute, yet stopping Shin from taking any action was Misaki himself.
Misaki: "Shin... don't do something pointless. you can't fix this. Just... just don't lose to her. I can't... so it's up to you to make up for my second failure... Shin...keep fighting until your last breath.”
Misaki with the last of his strength said those words and... his life came to an end. His body was unmoving and the light had completely disappeared from his eyes.
- POINT CASUALTIES: ONE MEMBER OF TEAM JAPAN DIED. TEAM JAPAN -1 TEAM POINT AND TEAM GERMANY +1 TEAM POINTS.
TEAM JAPAN TEAM POINTS: -1.
TEAM GERMANY TEAM POINTS: -9.
TOTALS WILL BE MULTIPLIED BY 2000 BY THE END OF A TEAM'S MISSION AND DISTRIBUTED TO EACH LIVING MEMBER. MEMBERS OF BOTH TEAMS WITH NEGATIVE POINTS AT THE END WILL BE ERASED.
Shin: "..."
Shin heard the official message, yet it just didn't sink in. His mind had gone blank. Misaki was dead. Another comrade is dead. He failed to save another comrade. He failed to save a comrade, but more importantly his best friend. As Misaki laid in his arms now dead and lifeless... it was...
Abigail: "Haha! What was that? ‘Until your last breath’, he said! What a joke for a dying man to say. So... are we done with the grieving yet? I'm a busy woman and you’re next Team Japan-"
Shin: "...What did you say?"
Shin heard Abigail words, but he couldn't accept them. Abigail dared to mock his comrade even in death. Sneering at his final words and mocking him. Making fun of the man who fought for his comrades and reborn childhood friend who he had promised to marry one day. Misaki, more than anyone else wanted to escape God's Dimension and had a clear vision of his future. Previously Shin was in a state of shock, but now... his mind and hatred were all focused on the enemy before him. Abigail couldn't feel it yet, but a boiling rage was beginning to rise within him.
Abigail: "What, you mad? Ha! You've killed, even wiped out my team – my pawns – for your own reasons. Remember? Why should I hold my tongue for trash like you and dead Firebender guy there? I'll kill you and your comrades, step on their cold bodies, and mutilate their corpses! Look, I'll show you now. Get them!"
On her orders the spider soldier army over 1000 marched towards Shin. Shin was completely surrounded and only a fate to be lynched awaited him... yet Shin wasn't paying attention to them. All he cared about now was killing Abigail who had just killed and insulted Misaki. The army about to kill him was just a part of the scenery as far as he was concerned. Along with his grief over a comrades death Shin was still in Unlocked Mode. Whether he liked it or not combat instincts rushed through his mind in an attempt to stay alive and kill Abigail in his current condition... but there was just one answer and he didn't like it. Shin was repulsed at the thought of it, but he hated the idea of letting Abigail walk away even more... and so-
Shin: "...Sorry Misaki. Let me borrow some of your strength. In exchange... I won't let her walk away from here alive!"
Then as the army of spider soldiers were close enough to swing down their weapons at Shin he raised the right arm of his deceased comrades and took a bite out of the flesh. The body was dead, yet lingering traces of Misaki's fiery life force could be tasted as the flesh and blood passed through his mouth and down his throat. The experience brought forth feeling of immense joy and disgust at the act, but such things were not important what was is now after consuming the flesh on another his energy had been restored somewhat and-
- AS A ONE-EYED GHOUL YOU'VE DEVOURERED THE FLESH OF A SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL! MENTAL CAPACITY+30, MUSCLE DENSITY+50, CELL VITALITY+20, IMMUNIZATION STRENGTH+10, REACTION SPEED+55!
A message was sounded confirming a boost in strength for Shin, yet he didn't pay it any mind. The joy in sense of newfound power brought forth an incredibly euphoric experience, but the simultaneous guilt and disgust as he wanted to eat more... all these feeling assaulted his mind, tearing at each other, and... something snapped. Shin just sat there besides Misaki's body as the enemy army's weapons were swung down at him, and-
- *CLINK*!
Shin's Kagune automatically reacted in response to the danger and wrapped themselves around their master. Swords, spears, and maces were swung over and over again to break through the Kagune defenses, yet they would continuously regenerate and came back stronger than before. Abigail couldn't help but frown seeing this. She wanted to enjoy the scene of her enemy being lynched by her spider soldier army, yet their inability to do so despite Shin staying in one place pissed her off.
Abigail: "Fuck! Stop cowering in that disgusting makeshift shell of yours and come out! Shit, Spider King, just go over there and kill him already. As long as I kill their leader there I'll survive this godforsaken mission. Heheh, and if a few more of his comrades do decide to show up and I kill them, I'll get lots of rewards and points! Hahh-"
Abigail in the middle of laughing historically subconsciously entered Unlocked Mode feeling danger and jumped back, bringing the Spider King with her as he was valuable. And then a moment later, from the cocoon of the tightly wrapped Kagune tentacles, a long black metallic tail with glowing red flesh within and sharp talons along one side of the tail punctured through the shell and twirled through the air. Then not a moment later the back tail swiped at all the surrounding spider soldiers, crushing and slashing everything they came across along with the floor itself causing a cloud of dust to rise to the surface.
Abigail, who had retreated, had her vision disrupted, yet she could still tell that her army of over 1000 had been reduced to less than 800 in an instant. Just one wave of this new metallic tail had destroyed over 200 of her forces. It was maddening. Confusion and fear threatened to consume her and it was then that she saw a humanoid figure carrying a body jump into the air and towards a corner of the throne room and that deadly tail, a Kagune, attached to his back followed with him. There were over fifty spider soldiers stationed there, yet with just one sweeping attack from the black armored tail they were all blown through the air and shattered into unrecoverable pieces. The humanoid figure, Shin, touched back down to the floor and carefully set aside the body his comrade missing his entire right arm. Shin took one last look at his comrade who was long gone with much regret and slowly turned his head around to face his mortal foe, Abigail, and spoke.
Shin: "What was that you just said before? About killing more of my comrades... then how about this? What if the one who dies is you? The leader of Team Germany."
Shin said so in a cold tone as he looked over towards Abigail. His voice was calm and collected, but it was so unimaginably cold and underneath it all... lied a raging fury attempting to be released to the surface. The bloodlust filling up the space of the throne room sent a chill down Abigail's spine from fear despite standing on the other side of the room. She was still inside her Duel Avatar Amethyst Queen, yet before his presence she felt helpless as a child before a large monster.
Abigail: "...Tch, don't get too full of-"
Gathering her courage Abigail looked back at Shin ready to face anything he has up his sleeve, yet she took a step back seeing his face, or what she could make of it. The right half of Shin's face was calm and without emotions and yet the other half, the left half was covered in a black mask with a bird like beak and in the center of that mask was the black and red eye of a ghoul.
Abigail: "...A... A Kakuja..."
Abigail at last understood what she was up against and what Shin had transformed into. As a member of the Four Pillars she knew about most if not all the enhancements within the Exchange System, together with what she had already deduced about Shin's genetic mutation and the clues in front her... she grasped what she was up against. The black armored Kagune tentacle or tail protruding downwards from the back, a mask covering the face formed from the Kagune climbing up the back and morphing into a mask around the face, and most noticeably a change in persona. These were all signs of one things and one thing only.
The Kakuja.
A Kakuja (Red One) is a Ghoul with a transformed Kagune. Though it is rare, it can occur through repeated cannibalization. In the world of Tokyo Ghoul, when a ward has a higher ghoul to human ratio, cannibalization is more common due to turf wars and limited food supply. Sometimes, the transformation is incomplete, and such individuals are called Half-Kakujas which appears to be what Shin has achieved.
It is said that through cannibalism, a ghoul absorbs Rc cells, and this uptake of Rc cells increases their concentration within a ghoul's body. If the concentration becomes high enough, it may trigger a mutation within the cells and lead to the formation of a new Kagune in the shape of a armor over the original Kagune or one's body. A Kakuja can evolve their armor Kagune further by continuing to cannibalize their kind.
Apart from the predatory Kagune ghouls commonly possess, a Kakuja has a special Kagune that clads the ghoul's body and functions like an armor. This new Kagune amplifies the Kakuja's strength, or diversifies his abilities, which makes fighting one of them especially hard. However, using a Kakuja Kagune is nearly impossible because most users tend to lose their minds while fighting with it. It is unknown why some ghouls are able to remain sane and others are not. One reason may be that all unstable/insane ghouls using Kakuja are half/incomplete as full kakuja aren't observed to have any problems maintaining control. It appears that a Kakuja Kagune can form a mask over the user's face if need be.
That is the Kakuja.
Team Japan's leader Shin had awakened a Kakuja, or an incomplete one judging from the half mask on his face. Abigail had never fought a ghoul except for Shin before, yet she did know what to expect now. An increase in strength in all areas and major boost in natural regenerative power. Additionally, he was under the effect of a magic buff somehow which probably increased his abilities further.
Abigail: "Still, no big deal. What a useless transformation. You're all alone, surrounded, and all so easy to kill! Velvet Whip!"
From both hands Abigail began to coil spider thread together into two long whips that then glowed with the light of Incarnation System. The two whips whirled around the throne room showing they could reach anywhere Abigail desired and decided on a target, Shin, she swung the two whips towards him. The whips with the addition of Incarnation System held unparalleled cutting power, so Shin only course of action would be to dodge. Abigail expected such a response and had already ordered her army to swarm Shin once he moved out of the way... yet that did not happen.
The two Velvet Whips were caught by Shin's Kagune with ease. Just before the attack arrived a fissure down the middle the new black armored Kagune behind Shin's back appeared and soon it spilt into two armored tails and intercepted the whips. Furthermore the black armored Kagune was reinforced with Silver Dragon Scales. The Velvet Whip that had never met resistance before could only cut a few inches into the armored tails before they were fully stopped.
Abigail: "What?!"
Shin: "...Your spider thread like attacks aren't that amazing. I would rather fight you than Doflamingo and I bet Straw Hat Luffy would agree. Spider Man wouldn't be fun to face either... but that's not Manga, right?"
Abigail: "You-"
Abigail's yell was cut short. Shin disappeared before her eyes and reappeared right in front of her and threw a fist smashing into her body. She saw it all as Shin, with newfound power and speed five times greater than normal, used Instant Movement to step in almost instantaneously, yet she could not react physically as a fist coated in silver scales released a Soul Crushing Strike that exploded into her Duel Avatar, blowing her away and crashing into a far off wall. No damage was inflicted as over thirty Spider Pawns, which took the damage for her, exploded, yet Abigail was left feeling helpless.
Shin: "...Your eyes at the last minute followed me, but you could react, huh? Like an inexperienced Sharingan user. Even if can see my moments, your body does not have the ability or speed to respond to the current me. In your next life time learn some Taijustsu from Rock Lee."
Abigail: "You, you..."
Abigail shouted at Shin as he looked down at her, but he didn't care about such things. Shin was calm and collected, yet it was closer to calm and disconnected to it all. He had a growing fury to tear Abigail apart, yet such feelings were not in control of his actions. As a side effect of the incomplete Kakuja Shin's mental state had become unstable. For some in his position they would lose their minds and go into a blind rage of insanity, Shin in a way had, yet it was a bit different. Shin's insanity took on his love for Manga, Anime, and games and altered his thinking pattern and began comparing everything to situations from his favorite fictional works.
Shin: "...Get up. That was one. There's no evil in this world and I'm no better, but I still won't accept it. I'll destroy that pride as a noble of the Four Pillars that drove you to fight us to the death. I'll spare your life two more times before I kill you. That way you'll know how helpless you really are little girl."
Abigail: "You!!! A little increase in power and you get cocky? Ha, I'll show you the difference between us! I'll go all out!"
Saying so Abigail stood back up from that last attack and faced Shin. She wouldn't allow him to look at her with eyes saying that she was weak, unworthy even, so she chose to use her full power and first she discarded her previous tactics. Summoning endless armies of spider soldiers was an impressive ability to wear down ones foes, but against those of a certain level of strength all it did was increase her side’s body count and waste her resources, so she got rid of it. Abigail detached her enhanced armor, "Legs of the Spider Queen" that gave the ability to reproduce a great army from nothing, but by abandoning this power gave room for a new to move in.
Abigail: "Fangs of the Spider Queen!"
Shouting out this name a new a Enhanced Armor materialized into existence by Abigail's side and began attaching itself to her robotic Duel Avatar form. The four limbs of Amethyst Queen were reinforced by thick armor, with an especially large armor equipped to her right arm with large metal claws over her fingers. Abigail still had a human shape robotic form, so the transformation hardly seemed as amazing as when she equipped "Legs of the Spider Queen", yet Shin could tell that her threat level had skyrocketed several folds.
Fangs of the Spider Queen - An Enhanced Armor designed for pure offensive power, increases the combat ability of Amethyst Queen according to the number of and rank of the spider soldiers present. Also extends the power of Amethyst Queen’s ability to use Incarnation System to any already summoned spider Soldiers. Until Level 9 is reached the Enhanced Armor can only stay active for three minutes and immediately afterwards regardless of the time of activation of the Duel Avatar is left it's activation period comes to an end. Abigail's latest ability gained at Level 8.
Abigail: "Become minced meat, trash!"
By the time she said this she erased the distance between them and a glowing metallic claw swiped at Shin's neck. Her new Enhanced Armor increased her power and movement speed by many times and allowed her to match her high Reaction Speed stat. Abigail now had the confidence to not let the previous embarrassment happen again, yet-
Shin: (Not enough, but she won't need that lesson with Rock Lee.)
...she was still caught. With arms coated in Silver Dragon Scales Shin grabbed the glowing claw and using that momentum she was tossed into the air. From there Shin jumped after Abigail with Instant Movement. While both still in midair Shin struck Abigail with Soul Crushing Strike and she was shot further in the air and smashing into the ceiling above. Crashing into the ceiling and without the Spider Leg Enhanced Armor she fell back down. It was a perfect chance to attack Abigail again, but Shin did not take it.
Shin: "That's two. Wait now as I thin the herd a bit."
Abigail: "What?"
Although unharmed, she was still reeling from the shock of his last attack, and so was too late to act. Shin turned away from Abigail and turned his attention to the vast robot army within the throne room. Spider Pawns, Spider Knights, Spider Bishops, Spider Rocks, and the Spider King. After Unlocking the Kakuja Kagune Shin no longer felt a threat from any of them even factoring in how all their weapons shined with the light of Incarnate System, yet they still hindered him. Each spider soldier absorbed any damage he inflicts to Abigail, or her Amethyst Queen Duel Avatar, and that was a problem.
Shin: "1 VS 1000. Smaller scale, but I can now join the ranks of Saito and Madara!"
Shin yelled loudly as he dived deep into the enemy rank and began his massacre. It was a foolish act as swords, spears, and maces reinforced with Incarnation hit his body from all sides, stabs and bruises covering his body, but in his current state all of his wounds were healing almost instantly and the weaker attacks were just reflected off thanks to his defensive skill. Shin now confirmed that the mechanical spider army were no threat to him he went all out. Shin was currently surrounded by over a dozen Spider Knights ready to cut him down, but moments later they were all destroyed and ripped a part into countless metal scraps as six Kagune tentacles erupted from behind his back. Four regular blood red Kagune tentacles and two thick black armored tentacles born from the Kakuja. All six swayed around their master in a menacing manner and were then given the order to attack without mercy as Shin began charged through the throne room.
The four normal Kagune tentacles stabbed into all nearby lightly armored Spider Pawns, Spider Knights, and Spider Bishops. Each attack was lighting fast and accurate, destroying the heads and torso of all their targets that then fell to the floor lifeless. The two armored Kagune tentacles, on the other hand, used their thickness and strength to attack. The armored Kagune with their attached talons on one side flattened and ripped apart the Spider Rooks and all other enemies in their path of destruction in the hundreds. Shin, the center of this destruction, made sure no enemy was allowed close or given chance to escape as the body count soared.
Shin: "Weak! Too weak. Even the cannon folder in UQ Holders are more skilled... except you I guess!"
As Shin finished a sweep of the throne room flooded with purple scrap metal across the floor a deadly killing intent assaulted him. One of the only two forces in the room who could oppose him moved. The large loitering Spider King crawled towards Shin with unexpected speed along with a change. Not just its sword, but armor was glowing brightly with the light from Incarnation System. One of the two armored Kagune moved to intercept the Spider King, but its shining great sword easily repelled the Kagune and kept charging towards Shin.
Abigail: "Ha! Don't get happy by defeating disposable trash!"
The Spider King attacked Shin from the front and Abigail, rejoining the battle, attacked from the rear. In addition Abigail resolved to kill Team Japan's leader and entered the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode. Her Duel Avatar, despite its robotic form, had internal parts that began to expand as proof of the increased strength of the Second Stage. The two were due to collide with Shin head on, yet he didn't run, but entered into the Second Stage himself. Shin morphed the two armored Kagune back into one large tentacle and the four normal Kagune into two thick yet swift tentacles.
The armored Kagune now reinforced with Silver Dragon Scales rushed straight towards Abigail and she met it with her larger metal claw. The two attacks meet and, although unharmed, Abigail was blown away and the armored Kagune was left cracked and bleeding from the clash. At the same time the Spider King attack began. Its heavy great sword was repeatedly swung in quick succession and would not have left even a skilled warrior with room to breathe, yet for Shin there was no threat defending with the normal Kagune. Instead of meeting the attacks head on each swipe of Shin's Kagune tentacles redirected the sword swings safely away from him. The Spider King was insulted with this type of defense and placed more force in its sword swings till they over powered and cut through Shin's Kagune.
Shin: (Now like Kira Yamato... catch!)
The shining great sword of the Spider King was swung down to cut Shin down the middle and he attempted to catch the blade with outstretched hands reinforced with Silver Dragon Scales. It turned into a failed reenactment of the Strike Freedom Gundam catching the Destiny Gundam's sword as it dug a few inches into his shoulder, yet fortunately being in the Second Stage he stopped the blade there with much difficulty. Shin laughed through the pain of the large cut through his shoulder and began his counter attack.
Unable to escape in time having its great sword grasped tightly the Spider King was stabbed and smashed repeatedly with Kagune tentacle and, not stopping there, Shin threw away the sword and jumped on top of the Spider King. In his Kakuja form Shin had fallen into a berserk state as he continuously assaulted the Spider King with Ki attacks. Again, again, and again, Soul Crushing Strikes were thrown into the Spider King and smashing it down to the floor. A few moments later Abigail recovered from the previous attack and looked back at the two as she was about to rejoin the fray, but was stunned silent at what she witnessed. A large crater had formed where Shin stood and directly below him was her prided and strongest mechanical soldier, the Spider King perfectly deformed and flattened into the ground with all life gone from its eyes. Shin then took a few steps away from the remains of the Spider King and looked towards Abigail.
Shin: "...That's three. Die!"
In that instant a pure and near uncontrollable surge of power from within Shin's body swelled up and rose to the surface. From the navel where Ki Energy dwells, the normally green energy was suddenly dyed a beautiful and radiant light blue, swelled up and entered into every part of Shin's body, turning the individual into a catalyst of pure destructive power. A higher tier of energy was born from his trump card, the Spirit Wave Technique, yet it did not end there. This pure Ki flowing within his body mingled with the Rc Cells from his mutation and grew stronger as a red miasma like energy mixed in with the pure blue energy of the Spirit Wave.
Abigail: "!!!"
Abigail suddenly sprinted towards Shin at her fastest speed moving on auto pilot seeing all this. A chill ran down her spine from the moment the dangerous storm of energy was felt against her skin. Every cell in her body told her that with her remaining number of spider soldiers she wouldn't be able to redirect all the damage and her Duel Avatar would be destroyed. She would be left defenseless and weakened once the Duel Avatar was destroyed, and despite her fears she had no choice but to attack before her enemy did.
Abigail entered the Second Stage and her right hand claw aimed at Shin's neck as it shined brightly with the power of Incarnation System. She placed everything on the line to strike with her strongest power and not even Shin's armored Kagune could hope to completely block that assault... so knowing this on his end he did not try. Shin didn't immediately focus pure energy of Spirit Wave into one part of his body and kept it spread throughout instead.
The first attack arrived.
The large shining right claw slashed through space to rip out Shin's neck, yet he saw it coming. Entering the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode and even deeper than Abigail he unleashed the potential of the nervous system to increase his Reaction Speed to the fullest. The world lost all color and everything began to slow down around him. Everything unnecessary at that moment was thrown away to see through Abigail's claw attack. Even then the attack was still moving at a normal speed in this frozen world, yet in Shin was the same with the increased power from the Kakuja, Hikari's multiple magic buffs, and the force of Spirit Wave flowing through his veins.
Shin: (...I'm thankful for you in a way, Abigail.)
- *BOOM*!
Shin's left hand slapped away the shining bright claw and an explosion of energy occurred enough to force anyone back way... yet both Shin and Abigail stood their ground.
Shin: (All losses in this world are due to a lack of ability. I can curse a lot of things, but I can only start with myself. Still, I glad.)
- *BOOM*!!
Another clash occurred.
Without missing a beat Abigail slashed at Shin once more moving even faster than before and aimed at the center of his chest, but it wasn't enough. Shin kicked away the second claw attack with all his might in a spinning motion and this time he won in their exchange of power. As cracks began to flow along her Enhanced Armor fear and despair captured her heart. Abigail prided herself in her ability to react to any attack, yet Shin had just shown that he had surpassed her despite betting it all in her rush. His resolve to defeat Shin shattered and only thoughts of protecting her life remained and as Shin took a step closer with his left fist readied she used her right hand claw in defense rather than counter attack.
Shin: (You were strong, but not so strong that I didn't have any chance of defeating you without sacrifice. Now I know how desperate I should be to become stronger here in God's Dimension so that I do not lose anything else and make my hopes a reality. That's why I'm thankful for at least that, and-)
Polar opposite of his opponent and giving everything to offense Shin channeled Spirit Wave's pure energy into his left fist for one final attack and did just that. With his entire weight the left fist was launched forward and met Abigail's claw stationed in defense to catch the attack. The blue condensed life energy of Spirit Wave shined brighter than Abigail's claw glowing with Incarnation... and it was no contest.

Shin: (...it's fine for you to exit the stage here. My story doesn't need a heroine like you.)
- *BOOM*!!!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The Spirit Wave punch smashed through the Enhanced Armor claw and exploded into Abigail's chest. It was the first time Spirit Wave had made a direct hit since it was exchanged for and it did not disappoint. The pure energy deformed Abigail's robotic body and blasted her remains clear across the throne room and smashing into the ceiling above. The Duel Avatar Amethyst Queen deformed into unrecognizable scrap metal smashed into a crate. A purple light glow soon followed and once it dimmed down was the original human form of Abigail who fell the floor with thud.
Shin watched calmly as a weakened Abigail pushed her off the ground and stood back up. She was shaky on her feet and in a daze. Abigail didn't fly off into the distance like Connor does when his Trion Body is destroyed, yet all the same Abigail looked to have experienced some backlash. She had also received damage whenever she used the skill Lesser Self-sacrifice, so there was that as well. Shin didn't do anything immediately and just waited for her to collect herself and thirty seconds passed in silence.
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "...You... you!!! This, this isn't over!"
Abigail finally looked Shin in the eye and denied her defeat. Shin had not said a word, yet the one normal eye she could see with his Kakuja mask on conveyed enough. So why was Shin just standing there while his enemy was in a defenseless state? Abigail could see that Shin thought the battle was over and there was nothing she could do, yet she was not done. She had a hidden card to play as she took out for her pocket a thin metallic cylindrical device with a red button at one end.
Abigail: "D-don't move! Don't come any closer! I, I have bombs placed throughout the castle. If you don't want to face a penalty, change of mission, or even death... don't move even a centimeter, or else I'll blow this place to kingdom-"
Abigail said all this with a shallow bravado, yet she wasn't even allowed to feel that for long as she was interrupted. A black armored Kagune tentacle was released and like lightning struck true. Before Abigail realized what had even happened her right arm holding onto the detonation switch was ripped away from the rest of her body and was now being held by the Kagune and the detached limb was hanging in front of Shin's face. Shin reached out and removed the detonation device from the detached hand, and then looking over Abigail's arm he unhesitatingly took a large bite out of its flesh.
AS A ONE-EYED GHOUL YOU'VE DEVOURERED THE FLESH OF A SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL! INTELLIGENCE+20 AND REACTION SPEED+150!
Abigail couldn't hear this message, but even if she could it was not something that would concern her. It was clear at this point that Shin was just playing with her and could kill her whenever he wanted. To kill, or even devour her alive whenever he wanted to. Losing her ability to fight, seeing Shin eat her arm, and having no hope left of overcoming this situation... Abigail chose to run away.
Shin: "...Come on. This is it for us. Let's-"
Abigail: "No!! St-stay away!!!"
Abigail was once a warrior who had reached the Second Stage and lead Team Germany through many battles and won... but now she was nothing more than a little girl running for her life. Shin watching as the enemy who dared to give his team such a hard time flee away through the halls of the castle... was disgusted and at last showed a face full of fury. Shin had kept his emotions and crazed thoughts in check as best he could during their battle, but at last such self-control was lost as he saw his mortal enemy flee... as if their battle didn't deserve a decent ending. That the enemy who was responsible for the deaths of so many of his comrades would at least remain an enemy, a proper villain to the very end for Team Japan... and not a unsightly coward who runs away.
Shin: "...You... You don't get to run away!!!"
Shin roared loudly and gave chase to the fleeing Abigail. No longer was he calm. No longer was he just a bit delusional about fiction and reality. From here on out... Shin was a berserker only seeking the filthy blood of his enemy.

Two Players on opposite sides of a deadly battle were running through the halls of the castle. Once more a notification from God about the success of one Team and the failure and loss of another Team rang through Capital City Limeiro for all Players, yet the two Players running across through the hallways of the castle didn't hear this message.
Shin was chasing Abigail in a mad rage. Half of his face looked like a blood lusting madman, with blood all around his mouth, while the other half was covered by his Kakuja mask that was smiling ominously in contrast to Shin’s rage. It was no exaggeration to say that the moment that he caught up with Abigail she would be torn apart. Though the image of their chase looked so similar to a crime scene of an older male chasing a scared girl. Except one was crawling on the walls and ceiling in a mad manner like a monster with bloody hands and black/red tentacles flowing behind him, and the other was running away desperately with one missing arm still bleeding.
Shin: "Hahahahahaha... hey! Stop running spider bitch! Didn’t you want to fight me? Didn't you want to kill me for the points and rewards, or are you too scared now! Hahahahah!!! Here I am! Weren’t you guys so strong that you kept hunting after us? Didn't even want to talk about peace even if it was possible, right? A promotion you called it. Weren’t you and your people able to kill Kampa, Renji, and even Misaki just now? Don’t run!"
Shin was angry enough to vomit blood, yet for some reason he couldn't stop laughing like a madmen. He didn't know if it was because of his Kakuja Kagune altering his mind or that he had gone mad from the death of his friends, or eating human flesh more than once, but he didn't care. Shin didn't care about anything other than tearing the leader of Team Germany apart limb from limb, and Abigail saw that for herself, so she kept running.
Although both of them were in the Second Stage of the Unlocked Mode as they were running, Shin had reached a deeper level than Abigail, was in the better condition, and was letting his instincts take over. Shin's muscle enhancements of his arms and legs were stronger than those of Abigail’s in her weakened state as he crushed all the stone floors of the castle with his every step charging forward like the wind of death. Shin then at last closed the gap between them and a Kagune tentacle slashed at Abigail’s back. The slash was deep and caused her to trip and tumble across the floor and didn't stop till she hit a far off wall. Abigail, with difficulty and bruised all over, tried to stand back up and escape, but her pursuer wouldn't allow it.
Shin: “Fuck! I said stop running!!!”
Abigail: "Kyaaa! Stay away-"
The girl’s prayers were not answered. One of the six Kagune tentacles around Shin shot like lightning out towards Abigail and stabbed her in the stomach and pinning her to the wall. Blood continuously leaked out form the wound and her body became pale. Abigail was unable to move, losing too much blood, and could only watch as Shin with a crazed look in his eye slowly walked towards her. She knew that there was nothing to stop him from killing her, yet she couldn't stop begging for mercy. Even though these were her last moments and used the last of her willpower to speak of forgiveness from a foe who would never show her any.
Abigail: "Wa-wait. Please let me go!"
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "I, I didn't mean to kill your comrades. I'm... I'm sorry."
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "I... I never wanted to hurt anyone. Not really. I just..."
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "You... You don't know how it is there. In the Four Pillars, in Mass Enlightenment, sure, we descendants of former Players have it a little easy, but..."
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "It is still hell in the end! Only the elites like The Reaper, Sun Knight, and ABYSS can choose their fates while the rest of us are just tools with the hope of breeding better tools for them later on. If I don't show results... I... I..."
Shin: "..."
Abigail: "...Say something... I said say something already!!! Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go. Just kill me or let me go!!!!!!!!!"
Shin: "...Why should I save trash like you? I'm not as kind as Kamijou Touma."
Shin could see that Abigail's willpower had finally faded as she could no longer form any meaningful words and just kept crying... yet he did not care. At this time it felt like his rage had completely taken over, yet also felt like he was detached from it all. Like nothing mattered, not Abigail or himself... but still... things needed to come to an end in this mission. Three comrades had been lost and the two responsible, Team Germany's leader and Team Japan's leader needed to settle things.
Shin: "...I can't forgive you... and nor do I want to. I also do not have the power or desire to save you from yourself and circumstances. I'm no good guy, but as a villain you don't have the right to be saved. If you wanted someone to save you, you shouldn't have chosen evil. The is isn't a cheap Anime where a boy saves every enemy without killing anyone and later on all sins are forgiven and happily ever after. Actions matter. You wouldn't have even bothered to hear me out if our positions were reversed, so..."
Shin simply stared down at the feeble girl and former enemy before him. She was in great pain and in her last few breaths... yet he felt that it was wrong to kill her off like this. That's why using the Ki he had just recovered from consuming Abigail's arm to send her off with a bang. Shin had no respect for Abigail, but he still wanted to use his best technique to end things. Not for her per say, but for all those that had died. Those he killed, those he failed to save, those he didn't want to save. Such thoughts filled his mind as the green Ki within his body transformed into a catalyst of power giving off a light blue light. Shin then gathered that pure energy circulating through his body, raised his left hand high and into a fist, and-
Shin: "...Die!"
The Spirit Wave reinforced fist smashed into Abigail's face and everything exploded. Her body and the wall behind her were vaporized and destroyed by the high energy Ki attack... and everything came to an end.

In the haze of unconsciousness Shin felt himself moving somewhere. He didn't know where, but he did not care. He was too exhausted to care about such things. Not even if he was dead or alive. Fury, sadness, or something else had been exhausted till there was only a void left. What did occupy his thoughts were the images of his comrades who were walking beside him as he was moving towards an unknown destination.
Misaki, who Shin had met in his first mission, was walking along his right. His face showed that he was full of regrets, yet he kept walking forward beside Shin happy for him.
Kampa, who Shin had encountered during his second mission among other comrades, was walking along his left side. He showed a face showing some regret, yet he walked forward proudly alongside Shin.
Renji, who Shin had just met for the first in in his latest fourth mission, was taking the lead by walking in front of Shin. Shin could not tell what kind of face that Renji had, but his back showed courage and he never once looked back in regret.
Seeing his three deceased comrades walking alongside him and finally gradually fading away Shin emotions started to return... yet he was happy. Regrets about their deaths and his own actions began to surface one after the next, but Shin was genuinely happy to see his comrades one last time. That they would do him the honor of appearing before him one last time. Shin had many things to say to the three. Important feelings to convey to them... yet as a light appeared before them... and only Shin kept walking forward towards this light and his comrades stopped walking and were almost gone from this world...
Shin: "...Thank you and I'll see you again later. It's not over... at least for me and the others. See ya."
Shin said these words without looking back not even knowing if they were still there. Shin compelled to keep walking forward walked towards the light while his comrades slept in eternal darkness.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Within the castle of Limeiro's capital city only two individuals could be found moving inside. Everyone else had escaped or perished within these walls and only these two individuals, Shin and Kisara leaning on one another as they walked forward halls of the castle could be found. Shin who was thought to be unconscious yet still able to walk and Kisara was leading him forward had reached a set of stairs. Kisara letting out a sigh of relief that they were almost to their designation was about to take another step forward when-
Shin: "...Under the floor there's a landmine where you're about to step."
Kisara: "Kyaaa!!!"
Kisara screamed cutely as she was startled by Shin and receiving this new information. Fully believing his words, Kisara in haste jumped backwards still holding Shin, yet Shin weight and her previous scare made her fall backward and Shin was now on top of her. Kisara's face swiftly dyed red from the embarrassment having Shin pinning her down to the floor and didn't move, yet Shin using whatever strength he could muster pushed himself up and to the side. Shin was sighing at the mistiming of such a Manga like situation and spoke to Kisara in calm words not in the mood to play along in this situation.
Shin: "Why are you getting embarrassed here? You've basically been hugging me before I woke up to get us this far, right?"
Kisara: "This and that are totally different! Also, are you alright?"
Shin: "Physically yes thanks to my healing factors even though I've no stamina left, but I'm wasted spiritually. In the battle against the enemy leader I exhausted my Ki twice. Sorry, but can you help me to the study room?"
Kisara: "Ye-yes! That's why I'm here after all."
Kisara said so helped Shin back up to his feet. Shin was still wobbly and can barely stand, Kisara was there for him and lent him a shoulder. The two together began to walk forward once more and as Shin began to point out hidden traps around the stairwell leading to the next floor Kisara began to explain to explain to him what has occurred since he last made contact with the team.
How Hikari and she were attacked by roaming Nen Users and Hikari unlocked her Genetic Constraint and applied magic spell buffs to everyone of Team Japan throughout the city. How Hikari found Team Germany's Adam stealthy approaching the castle and feeling that it was safe at the base had sent Kisara to deal with him. How Kisara desperately fought Adam outside the castle and having unlocked her own constraints in mid battle and defeated him. And lastly, the present situation as they bypassed the stairwell and reached the second floor of the castle and we're now on their way towards the third floor where Dwun and List await.
Kisara: "After defeating Adam I witnessed an outer wall of the castle collapse... and found you. There were just the mangled remains of Team Germany's leader and you having fallen to the floor unconscious. After seeing that you were not hurt I called the others about what to do next. Aqua and her group had returned to the mansion safely and met up with Hikari hiding in the basement. I told them of what happened and they said to just take you to Dwun and List's study room. Their group was safe and had lost any trackers, but going out again could lead to another incident, so they said to just end the mission already by bringing you, the holder of all 100 Designated Pocket Cards, to the study room. It was a good idea and Hikari already checked the inside of the castle and there were no enemies present, so we went with this plan."
Shin: "...I see. It's good that everyone’s okay. Also, sorry for having you lead me like this to the study room. You've just unlocked your Genetic Constraint and I know what kind of toll that takes on the body."
Kisara: "Don't worry about it, Shin. My father had prepared my body for the possibility of unlocking the constraint, or enlightenment as we called it with strict training in both body and mind and medicinal herbs. I won't say that it didn't hurt, but it won't affect my physical performance."
Shin: "Glad to hear that. Later, we should look into that medicine for future comrades although it looks like everyone except Shuai had already unlocked their constraints the hard way. Anyways, even if the plants are rare we should able to exchange for them and even make the medicine for cheap in God's Dimension."
Kisara: "That so? Then I'll try my best to create it if it'll help the team... also, about Misaki..."
Shin: "..."
Kisara: "...He's really..."
Shin: "...He left before us like Kampa and Renji."
Kisara: "...I see."
Kisara already knew the truth as she heard an earlier notification by God about a death in the team. After speaking with Hikari and Aqua's group who had all returned back alive she even knew who that person was, but she had to ask as it was unbelievable... yet she soon regretted asking. Shin’s voice was calm, but the sadness in his eyes made her heart clench. She felt stupid for asking such an obvious question to the person who most likely saw Misaki's death personally. As a Newbie in this particular mission she had been exposed to the deaths of enemies and allies alike, having even killed a few people herself, yet she was still too young and didn't know what to say in a situation like this and she only made the already dark atmosphere worse with her words. That's why-
Kisara: "...Sorry."
Shin: "Huh?"
Kisara: "I... should have arrived earlier. Defeated Adam quicker. I was the closest reinforcements that you had. I could have helped you in that fight and maybe Misaki wouldn't have-"
Shin: "Kisara! Don't ever say that."
Kisara: "...But..."
Shin: "You were given a responsibility to protect Hikari and you're just a Newbie at that. You were never a part of the equation for the final battle. You actually did more than enough by slaying the other living member of Team Germany. The responsibility of Misaki's death belongs solely to those who were there. Also, we're not God's who can see the endings born of our choices. Even the perfect plan could have wiped out Team Japan with one mistake or unexpected action outside all predictions. Coming to the castle with just Misaki and me, waiting to move all together as a group, or me alone arriving to the castle to face Abigail... we can't know what will happen till it's too late. Maybe someone other than Misaki would have died... you could have died. We lost comrades due to our naivety due to this being our first Team Battle, but even if we did everything right from the start those three could have died. Maybe fewer, but different comrades could have died. Regret all you like later, but just be thankful for being alive to regret your choice, Kisara. That's a privilege only the living have. I don't know about myself, but you've done nothing wrong, but if you don't want to feel this way again then become strong enough to cover my back and those of your comrades. At the very least I'm hoping you and the others will be there the next time that I might make a mistake."
Kisara: "..."
Kisara remained silent, yet Shin saw her nod her head. Shin himself didn't understand the words that he just spoke from the heart, their true depths, yet if they helped Kisara move forward a little then he was happy. Shin didn't get to see her fight, but the fact that she arrived here after defeating an elite member of the enemy team proved to him and anyone else concerned that Kisara was a heroine who can compete with any fictional female sword wielding character.
The two continued to travel through the castle from the 2F to the 3F while avoiding all the traps previously set up by Team Germany's leader and finally arrived. Before the tired and worn out pair of Shin and Kisara was the study room within castle of Limeiro's capital city. The door was open and inside were two of the Greed Island Game Masters Dwun and List. They were anxiously waiting inside the messy and disgusting trash filled study room that looked exactly the same as the one that appeared in the Manga, Anime, and OVAs. The two of them welcomed us in and I, as the holder of the 100 Designated Pocket Cards, and Team Japan officially completed the Hunter X Hunter - Greed Island mission assigned to us by God.
List: "Welcome to Greed Island's castle. Thank you for making it this far."
Dwun: "Oh! Come in, come in. We've been waiting for a winner of this game even if you're not Ging's kid. You're still welcome! Come over here and have a seat."
Kisara: "Ah, the pleasure is ours. So-sorry for the mess along the way."
Dwun: "No problem, no problem. Greed Island has just become that kind of game. So, how did you like this updated game filled with death and gore?"
List: "Dwun, that's-"
Dwun: "It's fine right? We all agreed to this modified game in the end. So... what are your thoughts on this game? You loved it, right!"
Kisara: "That's..."
Shin: "...You know, despite everything that happened I wouldn't say this to Gon or Killua as they're still my idols... but just shove and go to hell along with your shitty game!"
Dwun: "Wh-what was that!"
Shin then had no time to enjoy Dwun’s anger and or List's confused face as he along with Kisara had already entered the half-awake state and before the two Game Master's eyes... Team Japan disappeared off the face of Greed Island and the world of Hunter X Hunter.

Did Shin survive... Well, that's not even something that I have to say, right? Mission 4 of God's Dimension in the world elite Hunters, Nen Users and Designated Pocket Cards, Hunter X Hunter - Greed Island, has come to a close and we will be moving on to the Intermission Arc at some point... but surprise I have good news! We'll be moving into the Intermission of this arc!
Now I'm almost done and this is important. Please leave comments. I generally love to hear people thoughts of this chapter, but more importantly I want to improve. I should be working on the next arc as we speak, but criticism so that I can improve and write a fifth mission better than the first four and the Real World Arc is very much appreciated. Reviews help as well and if they are good I'll change my writing style. Someone mentioned quotations would help, so that's why we see them now in this fifth arc if you haven't noticed. It was a real bitch to make it a part of my writing, but now I don't think about it anymore.
Lastly, thank you all for reading the fourth mission of Terror Infinity - Side B, and will see you again in the Intermission!
P.S
I previous stated a what if question about Kieara not coming to Shin's rescue and here's the answer. Shin would have still killed Abigail all the same, but he would have fallen unconscious and Adam lurking around the castle would have discovered Shin and killed him in his sleep. From there Adam would continue his path of self-destruction and killed Dwun and List, changing the msisosn for Team Japan and they all end in a wipe without their ace member.
Second lastly, Total Kill means wiping the enemy team before God erases them. Meaning they were killed during the mission. In the Team China and Team India battle, Team India all died, but their Newbies were erased by God and so they didn't get the reward.
