GOD AND DEVIL

A massive scarred giant with a thick mustache roars in fury, declaring that the listener must kill him to take the throne and calling him the worst king in Elbaph history. Below, a long-haired man in a black hat shouts in anguish that the giant manipulated and killed his father, who died at age 144 though giants live to 300 naturally. The man insists it was not his father's time. In a close-up, a horned figure with wild white hair and a dark eye patch states that the one who suffered the greatest setback was Mu.

Explosions and lightning tear across the landscape as a small figure on the ground yells for answers. A giant in ornate armor swings a massive hammer while shouting that all that matters is Elbaph's future. The long-haired man in the hat cries that once he is dead his reputation means nothing. A black silhouette of a horned warrior appears amid the chaos. The scarred giant demands to know what the other did to his old man as lightning strikes a tree and debris flies everywhere.

The hammer wielder unleashes a devastating attack named RAGNA IZUCHI, swinging his enormous cube-shaped hammer that crackles with energy. The blow connects with a massive impact, sending the horned warrior flying backward amid smoke and debris. A small black creature with horns and sharp teeth emerges from the blast. The long-haired man reacts with shock as the ground shakes from the force of the strike.

A massive explosion of black flames erupts across the rocky landscape as a horned figure wielding a long staff stands amid swirling dark energy. The figure, cloaked in ornate armor and a tattered cape, channels the ominous power that twists into a giant bird-like silhouette against the sky. Below, the impact strikes with tremendous force, sending debris flying as the words "DOOM!" echo across the shattered ground where two figures are hurled backward by the blast.

The white-haired horned warrior stares in shock as the black flames continue to rage. "WHAT ARE THOSE BLACK FLAMES?! WHAT POWERS DO YOU HAVE?!" he demands. Nearby, the hammer-wielding fighter is sent flying, shouting "ARE YOU KIDDING?! HE BLOCKED THAT?!!" The staff wielder presses forward, dark flames coiling around his weapon. "...MILITARY MIGHT!!!" he declares as the flames take the shape of serpentine dragons. "...IS MY... OMEN ..." the power manifests further with crackling energy "ZRRRR ZRR ZRR ZRR".

The staff wielder proclaims "A POWER THAT LURKS WITHIN ALL THINGS!!" as the black flames form a massive snarling maw. The hammer wielder reacts with surprise: "YOU CAN TURN GIANT?!" A fierce clash erupts with a resounding "KACHING!!" and explosive impact "BAM!!" The hammer wielder is struck hard, his face contorted in pain as he is sent reeling. "SHWIRR!" the staff spins through the air amid the chaos.

The staff wielder raises his weapon high and declares "BLADE OF JUDGMENT-- NEMESIS." A devastating strike lands with "SHUNK!!" as the hammer wielder is impaled and hurled to the ground, gasping "URRK !!!" Defeated, the fallen warrior lies broken while the victor stands over him. "...TO CRAVE STRENGTH." "IT IS THE NATURE OF MAN..." the defeated man mutters as the staff wielder looms above.

A horned warrior in ornate armor roars with fury as he declares, "CORRUPTION!!" Nearby, the black winged creature with horns speaks from above: "...IS TOO EASILY GAINED... WHEN POWER SO LUSTED AFTER... HOW-EVER..." The warrior continues, "COVE-NANTS!! CHOOSING SERVITUDE OUT OF SELF-INTEREST." The creature is struck amid swirling impact effects labeled "VWOOM!" and "VWOOM!!" The warrior presses on, "THESE FORM THE TRINITY... THE POWER OF OMEN!!! AND THE ENVY THAT SEEKS TO ACHIEVE ONE'S GOALS..."

The black winged creature is hurled backward in a massive explosion marked "BOOM!" as the horned warrior's voice rings out, "...OF WHAT WE CALL DOMI-NATION!!!" Small panels show the creature offering, "SHALL I GIVE THEE..." The warrior stands amid debris and smoke with the creature sprawled at his feet. Further impacts shake the ground with "KA-BAM!!" The warrior glares intensely while the creature lies defeated nearby.

A colossal explosion erupts across the landscape with the massive sound effect "ズドドドドドドドドドド!! ZDOOM!!" and cracking sounds "CRACK CRACK CRACK". The black winged creature pants, "HUFF, HUFF... WEEZ, WEEZ..." while the horned warrior questions, "SO YOUR POWER...IS GOD'S DOMI-NATION?! I THINK YOU MEAN...A CONTRACT WITH THE DEVIL... WEEZ, WEEZ!" A close-up shows the creature's eye as it retorts, "...THE POWER OF GOD... ...TO STEP BEYOND ALL OTHERS?!" The warrior's face appears with the reply, "WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? GOD? DEVIL? I DIDN'T ASK!!"

The horned warrior swings his massive hammer with flames trailing, shouting, "NO ONE LORDS IT OVER ME!!! I DON'T GIVE A CRAP!!" The black winged creature is sent flying once more. It declares from the air, "...IS THE ONLY TRUE BLISS IN THE WORLD!! DOMINATION..." The warrior lands amid rubble as the creature asks in close-up, "ISN'T THAT RIGHT?"

A massive winged figure with horns and a flaming mane looms in the sky, gripping a long staff as it roars with power. "JOY-BOY!!" it bellows, followed by "ISN'T THAT RIGHT!!!" The creature's eyes glow and its body radiates dark energy. Below, a smaller figure hunches over in pain, clutching its stomach with a strained "HRUGGG !!" In the distance, a ruined stone structure stands silent. The scene shifts to a chaotic feast where multiple giants devour everything in sight. Onomatopoeia fills the air: "GANG GLORP GERK!! (CAN'T WIN WITHOUT A FULL STOMACH!)" "WHARF CHOMP MUNCH!! (WHAT'S WITH THAT GUY'S HAKI!?)" "DULG, GLUG NOM NOM!! (DAMN... IT'S SO HEAVY AND HARSH!)" "NERBR GULP BWOOAH!! (NEVER FELT THIS BEFORE!!)" "GUBBA GRBL!! (GOTTA EAT MORE!)" and "HUFF, HUFF... MRPH!! (MORE!!)" One giant yells "MOMF MOMF!! (MORE! MORE!!)" as debris flies and structures collapse around the ravenous group.

A grinning figure in a wide hat leans forward and declares "THEN YOU DON'T..." The massive horned creature is struck hard, its wings flaring as it tumbles with a loud impact. "WHAT'S WRONG?! GOT DIS-TRACTED!!!" someone shouts amid the chaos. The attacker presses on with "...RESPECT ME ENOUGH!!!" A blinding white blast erupts across the landscape, sending rocks and dust flying. Smaller panels capture the aftermath: a horned warrior is sent flying, a wide-eyed face reacts in shock, and the black creature writhes in the air with pained sounds and "KOFF!" as smoke rises from its body.

A colossal explosion tears through the sky with "BOOM!!!" and the words "THOR-HEIM!!!" The black horned creature is hurled backward by the force. In close-up, a scarred warrior with long white hair and a slight smile watches the destruction. Smaller panels show the creature crashing down with "GRRR..." and "GRRR..." sounds while the warrior remarks "SO, THOU ART BACK..." The final panel displays a hand reaching out as the page ends with "To be continued!"
