"Divine Share"
The four demigods, despite hailing from two different factions, willingly shared their divinity among themselves displaying a remarkable unity among unexpected people. What made this possible was their purpose, a singular pursuit of retribution, which served as the gluing factor that allowed them to transcend their factional divides.
As their divinity converged, the boundaries of their individual identities dissolved in the crucible of shared purpose. Vengeance was the tapestry woven from their disparate threads, a common goal that fused their divinity into a singular, unstoppable force.
Granting the four demigods an opportunity to, at last, graze the edges of transcendence was akin to offering them the elusive key to a realm they had yearned for with unwavering hearts.
Alas, this euphoric sensation was not bestowed upon them without extracting its pound of flesh. Yet, such a toll paled in significance, for the determination to exact vengeance upon those who had wronged their fellow warriors burned within them, overshadowing any heed to personal sacrifice.
Endowed with the powers of a near transcendent-like existence, the four demigods possessed the formidable might to boldly evade the clutches of the malevolent mohawk devil that sought to sacrifice them to its relic. Yet, curiously, they opted not for the path of evasion, defying the conventional logic that would dictate any flight. Currently, they only cared about their vendetta.
Undeterred by the potential consequences, these four demigods remained resolute, unwaveringly committed to their cause. With an unbreakable bond forged through shared divinity, they were now prepared to lay down their very lives, embarking on a mission of vengeance to honor their fallen comrades.
The four demigods were driven by an unquenchable fire for vengeance within them. Driving them mad enough to go as far as to confront any challenge, even if it meant death for them because they were no longer four individuals but one. They had four bodies but their intent was now one.
Having shared their divinity with their thirst for vengeance as their medium, the new prowess they gained came with a new identity, vengeance, the real factor that drove them to share their divinity in the first place.
As the soul energy of the four demigods surged dramatically, the mohawk devil's ugly grin shrank. It sensed that with no way out, its prey had decided to face death head-on, as long as it meant taking it down alongside them.
Empowered with abilities that eclipsed ordinary demigods and hinted at the fabled transcendence whispered of in every demigod's reverie, the four demigods exchanged resolute glances. A shared determination radiated from their eyes as united in a common vendetta, they surged forward as one cohesive force, their sights set firmly on the sinister mohawk devil that lay ahead.
As the four demigods charged ahead, their eyes blazing not with fear of mortality but with an unquenchable thirst for retribution, the mohawk devil couldn't help but feel a flicker of uncertainty. Then recalling the ten demigods it had vanquished earlier, it recognized that the demigods' powerful time cards had already been consumed and exhausted.
With the weight of this realization, the mohawk devil's visage transformed once more. The shadow of uncertainty that had momentarily touched its expression gave way to the resurgence of its malevolent grin. A renewed air of self-assuredness enveloped the mohawk devil, bolstered by the belief that the formidable strength the four demigods now wielded paled in comparison to its mastery over the time rule.
As the four demigods stepped within its striking reach, the punk-like demon swung its pair of chain whips infused with its time rule power, all while releasing a mocking chuckle that soon transformed into an unrestrained scornful and jeering laughter that echoed through the secondary time flow.
The swift motion of the twin chain whips was nothing short of astonishing, evidently under the influence of the mohawk devil's time rule mastery to amplify their velocity. In a blink, they closed the gap to their intended objective, yet they missed their target by the narrowest of margins, grazing past their marks by the width of a single hair.
The reason the twin chains did not manage to hit their target despite their speed was not because of the lack of the devil's aim but because of the incredible agility and reflex displayed by the four demigods. Akin to the name transcendent, their speed seemed to astonishingly transcend the time rule. They never knew one could be that fast.
The twin chains' inability to successfully strike their mark, despite their impressive agility, stemmed not from any shortcoming in the devil's aim, but rather from the remarkable dexterity and lightning-quick reactions exhibited by the four demigods.
Resonating with the very essence of edging at the boundary of transcendence, their swiftness appeared to remarkably surpass the confines of time rule. The sheer rapidity they displayed was so extraordinary that it left them in awe, never before having comprehended the possibility of achieving such astonishing levels of speed.
Even the mohawk devil found itself taken aback as it witnessed the four demigods effortlessly sidestepping its assault. This unforeseen turn of events began to raise significant worries within the mohawk devil's mind, prompting a sense of genuine concern to take root.
As the four demigods adeptly dodged the mohawk devil's assault, the expressions of astonishment and apprehension that played across the mohawk devil's countenance only served to bolster the confidence of the quartet. With renewed assurance, they advanced towards the devil, intending to exact retribution for their fallen comrades and settle the score once and for all.
Yet, the very instant when the four demigods, suffused with confidence, drew nearer to the mohawked devil, a broad grin crept across the devil's face as the time rule power oozed out of it. In a resounding proclamation, it bellowed, "Temporal Quick Sand!" while attacking them with its twin chain whips accelerated by its time rule.
Abruptly, a sensation enveloped the four demigods, akin to the sensation of their very movements decelerating. With their current prowess, it was impossible. But it turns out the mohawk devil had slowed down their flow of time in the secondary time flow created by it, an ingenious tactic wielded by the devil to tilt the odds in its favor.
In close quarters the devil's twin chain whip had the boost of time rule power instantly skewered through the four slow demigods with ease and instantly began to sacrifice their vitality to the hourglass relic. The four demigods, as a last ditch effort, tried to donate their shared divinity but to their horror, they found that impaled by the unknown chain their access to the soul energy, rule power, and their divinity was sealed.
Completing its meal, the mohawk devil proceeded toward its dessert, Dalton Wyatt.
