In The Abyss As A Toon Character

Katley kicked the air, propelling herself backward, creating more distance between her and Dante. "What, you think I'm gonna stand there and let you win a brawl?" she sneered, pulling out two strange objects and activating them. "When I came here, my mana reserves weren't enough, so I had to push myself harder."

Two strange orbs floated around her, one glowing so brightly it resembled a miniature sun, the other distorted and condensed the space around it, swallowing even the light. "I didn't expect to fight someone fueled by love and hate… You're not Lyrith's aspect." The spheres suddenly shattered into a million pieces, vanishing into the thin air.

The fragments flew everywhere for a few seconds before disappearing; just in plain sight, you could realize that the zone around them was now covered in those flashing fragments.

Dante's left eye flickered-- the vibrant spark of fake love began dimming, leaving it dull and lifeless. Katley, without missing a beat, was quietly erasing concepts mid-conversation. "I'm ready for anything! That includes you-- someone using love," Katley's gaze intensified, and Dante's other eye lost its hateful glow as she continued, "And, of course, every single damn emotion, feeling, and alignment you throw at me."

Dante's hands twitched, trying to shape the air into something, anything that could counteract the effect, but Katley noticed immediately and said, "What's the matter? Did you get second thoughts? Waiting for the perfect moment to strike?" The lack of a grin or playful tone didn't make it seem like a taunt. It was more like an actual question.

Dante's mind raced as he analyzed Katley, looking for cracks in her defenses. 'Wall... All walls fall... How...?' But Katley, too, was thinking something similar. 'I need him alive... but how do I bring him down without killing him in the process?'

Katley clicked her tongue, shaking her head. "No..."

She knew she had to be rough with this one, but overstepping slightly would make everything she worked for fall apart. "I talk a lot in fights. But when I'm forced to take someone seriously, I usually don't give them the luxury of hearing the end of my monologue."

Her voice dropped to a cold and cruel one. "I could just erase the distance between your head and the sky, watch your body scatter into pieces… it's always amusing to see."

Without warning, she vanished, reappearing in front of Dante with impossible speed. Dante's lack of fake love and hate inside him to enhance his body became evident as he barely managed to raise his arms in time, blocking Katley's kick-- The shockwaves of such impact rattled his insides.

His bones groaned under pressure, and seeing that she was stronger than him once more, Katley launched a flurry of slashes and charged sword thrusts, all aimed to dismantle his defenses piece by piece.

Dante staggered back, his body quickly soaked in blood again, but this time, only the toon force was there to help him, and it was at a pace barely fast enough to keep him standing. He gritted his teeth, lunging forward, but Katley sidestepped with ease most attack, swiping her sword in a tight arc to counterattack.

In their small brawls, he could only retaliate whenever Katley's sword got stuck in his flesh. He used those extra milliseconds to make some small cuts and bruises with his fist, but it barely counted as damage.

"Entropy"

The last of her wounds closed up at an unnatural speed, and her small bruises evaporated as if they'd never been there, almost as if it was fixed or a miracle.

Katley liked to talk and always did it with a reason, yet there was a limit to how much she could say. She wouldn't explain the ability to the enemy, but if she would, she would probably explain something like: 'Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system. By erasing entropy, I could force things to become ordered, thus healing in consequence of this action if I applied this to my cells.'

Dante leaped back, bouncing off the ground like it was made of rubber. He turned his eyes to the left, and he saw it--

Her sword swung, catching him in mid-air, and with a clean swing, she sliced through his arm before he could react. He landed hard, rolling to his feet, clutching the bleeding stump where his arm had been moments ago.

Katley's sword flashed again, aiming for his head, but this time, Dante defied physics, twisting his body impossibly to avoid the strike. His arm reformed in a cartoonish blur, and he retaliated with a powerful uppercut.

Katley blocked the punch with the flat of her blade, gritting her teeth at the force behind it. "Imploding once won't kill you, right...? Distance!" The second this word exited her mouth, Dante exploded into a puddle of blood on the ground, and Katley used this time to do something useful.

Popping a few pills into her mouth, she watched Dante's blood emanated a thick, acrid smell. The blood formed a red humanoid figure and quickly restored Dante, but now his eyes glowed brighter than before.

Katley, seeing how the effects of the love and hate disruptors faded, mumbled, "Aspect of Aqarath... I can't remember the last time I had to use such niche words."

"Uncertainty, casualty"

Dante, now with his body enhanced with some love and hate, opted for the chaotic nature of the toon force to deal damage. He leaped into the air, bouncing off it with a loud *BONG*. But as he launched toward her, Katley parried his blow perfectly, retaliating with a strike that sent a strange status effect surging through his body.

"..." Mid-air Dante couldn't believe it; he should now be faster and stronger before the effects of the objects. He was at an advantage; was that a lucky strike?

...

Katley's newfound precision wasn't just luck. By erasing both uncertainty and causality, she'd achieved mastery over every action and reaction in this world. She knew the exact position and momentum of everything around her. Every swing, every dodge, perfectly calculated, leaving no room for error.

Katley twisted her sword, slicing upward in a flash of light. Dante's hand was severed even before Katley's sword completed its arc, and the timing was so precise it appeared to defy reason.

Causality is the principle that everything has a cause and effect. By erasing causality, Katley's attacks happened without needing causes; her movements had no discernable starting points, but their results were undeniable. As for uncertainty, quantum principles no longer applied to her. She had transcended chance and randomness.

As for uncertainty, In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the more precisely the position of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. By erasing this uncertainty, she could theoretically know both a particle's position and momentum precisely, allowing her to predict and control the behavior of particles.

"Cohesion, Rigidity, Tension"

The blood from Dante's wounds began to behave bizarrely; the droplets floated in the air, refusing to merge into puddles and doing strange things. They erratically scattered and twisted, almost as if they had a mind of their own.

Katley yelled, "Alright, I'm done. Thanks for indulging me during my monologue, though not like you had a choice, considering..." Her facial expression changed to a more serious one, "This monologue was actually the end of our battle."

Dante struggled to stand on two legs correctly as the chaos around him twisted into Katley's own design, " Also... What you were searching for all along was..."

She finished, her tone ominous and final, "Order."

damn... I'm starting to run out of juice to write this...

I'm right now in the limbo of when to end this novel.

I could probably end it in about 20-30 chapters...

But I had so many things ready to go!

The problem is now that if I actually commit, I'm not gonna have the willpower to write. BECAUSE THIS WILL LAST AT LEAST 300 CHAPTERS!

There are 4 main antagonists, and you just met the FIRST! And it's the presentation, not the final fight.

...

...

...

Right now, I'm writing two other novels (Stockpiling chapters so I always have chapters ready), so I don't get bored of this work (and it is also the next novel I will publish here)

But whenever I come back from college, I don't have the time or juice.

Ha...

Thank God I don't work and study at the same time.

Just ignore my yapping; I'm just a random ass person wondering what to do with life... (Writing my thoughts helps me a lot...)
