As the Queen of her race, one known to be deeply intertwined with death, Screecha had witnessed more death than most, both the countless lives claimed from her own race and those taken far beyond it.
And while most Banshees can do nothing but simply observe death taking place, she had the power to control it.
To negate the death of a being she deemed worthy of saving, keeping them alive.
It was a power she rarely exercised, as for a queen like her, simply being aware of the power she held was enough, rather than exercising it.
But ever since this fight had started, that ability had failed her.
One by one, she had witnessed the visions of these deaths, but not a single one of them had she been able to prevent.
And now that he stood so close to her, it seemed that her death was certain. After all, any being that he had come this close to had died shortly after.
Yet, the vision she saw right now wasn’t that of her death at all.
It was...
"RUUUUUN_"
The scream blasted out of her lips, releasing a sonic wave that rippled not towards White, but towards the Vampire Lord Damon and Primordial Werewolf Fruga.
Both of them had initially rushed towards White to prevent him from killing the Banshee Queen Screecha, yet all at once, their expressions froze as an overwhelming sense of danger locked onto them.
Even as the sonic wave attempted to push both of them away, White’s hands shot outwards to both sides at terrifying speed, tearing straight through the ribs of both Alphanomalous creatures and grabbing right at their hearts.
The sonic wave from the Banshee Queen was powerful enough to send them flying backwards for hundreds of meters, but when they landed far away enough, both of them instantly dropped onto their knees and collapsed on all fours, coughing out blood.
THUMP!
The sound of knees hitting the ground echoed out as the Banshee Queen Screecha collapsed onto the ground, staring in horror at the being before her.
In both of his hands, he held two massive objects that were still pumping furiously.
The hearts of the Vampire Lord Damon and the Primordial Werewolf Fruga.
In the end, his target had been them all along, even when he had made it seem like he would be killing her next.
"Oh, of course,"
White said, squeezing his hands in.
"Banshees are able to tell if someone is about to die. It’s obvious since you tried to push them away with your sonic wave instead of saving yourself."
BUUUUUURSSST!
BUUUUUURSSST!
All at once, two explosions occurred as the two hearts in White’s folded hands exploded into gore from the pressure, the remnants of them covered in darkness, and slowly started to fade into ashes.
As they did, the two bodies of the Vampire Lord and Primordial Werewolf also began turning to ashes, and in just a few seconds.
The Vampire Lord Damon, and the Primordial Werewolf Fruga disappeared from the battlefield...eternally.
Silence spread across the battlefield.
Not because the war had ended, but because every remaining Alphanomalous found themselves unable to process what had just happened.
Three of the mightiest beings among them had been brought to the brink of death in a matter of moments, and two had been slain by nothing more than a feint that none of them had seen through.
It was a horrifying realization that struck them harder than any physical blow ever could, leaving them paralyzed there in the sky.
"But you know, I’ve always thought of you Banshees as the most useless, and the evillest of all Supernatural Creatures."
White continued, swiping his hands to clear the blood.
"You know when a being is about to die, but what do you do to that...nothing!"
He growled.
"You just stand there and watch them die. Drawn to death, but never to save the soul, but to witness its painful departure."
"Tell me, Banshee Queen? What is it really?"
"An instinct?"
"Or do you enjoy Watching them die? Perhaps there’s an energy from it, one you devour to make yourself grow in power."
His hand reached out, grabbing onto her neck, the darkness oozing from his hands, burning away all of her hair, and revealing the ghostly white face.
"Observing as people die from that mighty throne of yours yet doing absolutely nothing. You must feel like you’re a god of some sort. Too high and beyond to save them."
"But all I see now is a pathetic woman too chilled by her own death to even move a finger..."
The words cut deep into Screecha, not because they were cruel, but because somewhere within them lay a truth she could never deny.
How many had cried for salvation while she merely watched?
How many civilizations had vanished while the Banshees simply observed, mourning only after the final soul had departed?
For the first time since ascending her throne, shame surfaced within the Queen’s lifeless eyes.
But that earned her no pity from White whose other hands moved out and then,
CLASSSSSSP!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Both of his hands clapped at the Banshee Queen’s head, and all at once, brain and skull exploded into gore as the head was completely smashed apart.
The Banshee Queen remained there, now a headless body dangling in his hands, and quietly, White’s hold relaxed, her corpse falling onto the ground.
He looked around him, up into the sky, where they were still floating.
All that was left of the so-called Invincible Alphanomalous Creatures.
Absolutely none of them moved forward to try and stop him, horror in each of their eyes.
How could they not feel horror?
Out of the 12 of them, since the fight had started, a total of 6 of them had fallen, all of that without a single injury on the opponent.
His monstrous energy wave had yet to recede even by a tiny bit, showing he could probably carry on with this for years, while their wills were being repeatedly caved in by simply being in his presence.
"I was lied to..."
White called out calmly, yet his voice echoed as if he had been standing before each of them.
"You all are not some invincible almighty creatures, not when you fight alone individually and not when you fight together either."
"You’re the same as every Supernatural that has ever walked this Earth. Monstrous and savage only to those weaker than them."
"When you meet someone as strong, you easily cower in fear, becoming as meek as sheep."
"At least, Humans know how to fight to the bitter end. What about you Alphanomalous Supernaturals?"
"Do you know how to fight to the bitter end?"
White asked, slowly levitating off the ground, and as he did, a monstrous wave of aura burst out.
All through the original fight, the aura he had been unleashing was instinctive.
But now, he was releasing a part of his true aura, and the moment it spread, the effect was so overwhelming that the Original Titan Lomen dropped from the sky and fainted instantly, while the remaining five transformed into beams of light and fled straight through the Void without a moment’s hesitation.
The sight of it made White pause for a second, before his expression was replaced by a sneer.
As expected, they all chose to run away like cowards.
"Ellimi, Nekron, Istofag!"
White called out, and instantly, the Void around him shifted as three Umbarwyrs appeared right at his side as if they had always been there to begin with.
"Yes, My Lord."
They answered with a bow, as White stretched a hand forward
"End Them All."
Immediately two of them rushed outwards, in pursuit of the Alphanomalous creatures, while the third descended into the unconscious body of the Original Titan Lomen, grabbing onto its head.
With a single yank, the Titan’s head was ripped straight from its body, with such precision that even the spine still remained connected.
The head was flung away by the Umbarwyr before it also rose up into the air, disappearing after the Alphanomalous creatures.
White’s eyes turned away from the sky, a wave of darkness rippling from his skin and, like water, washing away every drop of blood splattered on him.
With that off of him, darkness came around, forming a robe of darkness that once more hid his body, and his ringed white eyes turned calmly behind him, looking into the far distance where he could sense a certain wave.
It was the wave of aura belonging, no doubt, to an Alphanomalous creature.
There was still one more Alphanomalous creature on Earth, one that had never come out at all.
VROOOOOOOOM!
