Fight for the Soul IV

Lazy Marionette is a racial skill of the Marionette race that was created by one of the Distorted Gods. It is a skill that created a copy of the Marionette player but with zero defenses. The good thing is that the Marionette has the same attack stats as the original along with the skills.0

The Marionette race is created by the Distorted Goddess Manika who was actually a goddess of life in a far-off universe. She was once a celebrated goddess of life but soon fell off grace when all life in her universe got destroyed. The creations that worshipped and prayed for her has forgotten about her due to the fact that they turned to science.

The once bustling goddess of life slowly turned decrepit and descended to the universe ruled by science in an attempt to turn faith back to her. She descended but was treated as no more than an old hag spouting nonsense about faith and such. In the end, the goddess of life abandoned the universe that did not want her.

When the sole goddess of life in the universe left, the life inside the universe started to rot. The science that the people were proud of could not save them from the catastrophe that they have started. The worlds that held life started to die one by one and even travelling to another did not save them.

In fact, universal travel to a world that still holds life is so difficult that they resulted in desperate people waging wars. They held wars to determine which group of people shall get the remaining life of the dying planets. This made their universe go faster when it comes to the brink of extinction.

When only a few planets held life, it is then the people cried for the forgotten goddess of life thinking that they would be answered. The irony is they heard no answer from the goddess as they got silence. They could not even remember the name of the Goddess of Life that was once worshipped in ancient times.

The forgotten goddess of life left the universe that she once held dear along with the relics of the past that were given to her. What she did not think was that she would wander through the void that changed the fundamental nature of her being. Since she was a forgotten goddess, even she does not know of her name as no one prayed to it.

When she was the venerated goddess of life, the people would often offer small dolls in her shrines. These small dolls would then be taken by her as a gift that she cherished. The dolls that were the only things that reminded her of what she was and slowed the effects of the Void in her body.

The Void is not good nor evil because it just exists and there are things that exist in it. The Void is not harmful to beings that are born from it but is dangerous to those that are not. It would have been better if the Void can transform them to be similar those that are born inside but it does not.

The goddess of life became a Distorted Goddess as she had nothing left of her. If she at least knew her name, then she would have retained her original identity. Instead, she was reborn as a new goddess called Manika, the Distorted Goddess of Dolls.

The dolls that she carried with her were also distorted and turned into the Marionette race. Perhaps some of the original goddess of life still remained in her as she wanted her Marionette race to live a happy life. But the Marionette race is just dolls and dolls have no soul.

In order to create the Marionette race that she loves dearly, the Distorted Goddess Manika destroyed worlds with intelligent life. The souls of the intelligent life that she destroyed are housed in the very race that she created. She longs for more of her creations as they cannot reproduce thus, she has been destroying intelligent life to create more.

Adrian saw Seam becoming two and akin it to something like Kimat's Metallic Copy skill. The Lazy Marionette moved just like Seam and dealt damage the same as her. When Adrian thought that the copy would have decreased attack stats, he thought wrong as he can be overpowered by the two.

Seam is also incredible in one-to-many combat as she could keep Sirius and Charon at bay. Adrian had no choice but to unsummon Charon as his chains are of no use against Seam. Adrian more or less guessed that the giant scissors can cut off any things made of energy but to how much of a degree is still left unknown.

"You should already use your limit break skill, pretty boy. I have already defeated many summoners and you will just be added to that list." Seam stated with great arrogance.

"Is that so?" Adrian stated as he knew that Seam is baiting him to use the limit break skill to make it much easier to deal with him once the other people fall. He would not be provoked by that, but he would challenge the power of the giant scissors of his opponent.

"Vortex!" Adrian stated as he released a small star that rose to the air.

When all the players saw the small star rising from the hands of the demon, all the attention shifted to it. They know of this skill as it has already been synonymous to the appearance of the player with the nickname of The Demon.

Seam looked like she was already expecting this skill as she suddenly tossed her giant scissors at the small star that is slowly rising to the sky. When the small star got hit by the giant scissor, a small powerful explosion ensued but it did not create a gigantic black hole.

The small star did create a small black hole in the size of one foot and it only sucked in the giant scissors that destroyed it.
