Tournament of the Gods

Happiness and Pleasure

  Quan Chi had a devious smile on his face, with his right arm, he held Sui Wenyan's weapon and with the other, he had used it to extinguish the fiery arrow Qui Si had launched at him, Qui Si stared at him, her eyes were full of rage and she was boiling with anger.

"Giving in to your emotions during a crucial battle will only prove deplorable and swingeing," Quan Chi thought to himself as he closed his eyes, he could remember his life back in his home-world, he was treated as a   criminal because of his weird s****l fetish but that was what he liked and it made him happy; being a necrophiliac.  Yet, society didn't see him that way, usually, he had to run for his life in order to avoid punishment, what always amazed him was that the people who kept judging and antagonizing against him were not perfect themselves, they had involved themselves in other crimes just to get satisfaction and pleasure, he would get pissed about that and even try to land counterattacks against them but because of his untamed anger, he ended up only making the situation worse as he had lost many comrades till he had no one else left, it was then he realized that once you have lost your cool in any situation, you are automatically a victim, he became more proactive and calmer in his ways and judgements while still making himself happy by torturing and f*****g  different types of women after killing them, nothing else gave him joy, only n*********a.

And just because society saw that as irritating doesn't mean he would deprive himself of what makes him happy.   He had always told himself. 'There would always be obstacles standing in front of your happiness, trying to overcome those obstacles just so you can be happy is what every man should strive for no matter what it is that made them happy.'

"I am going to be happy," Quan Chi muttered to himself.  "And nothing will get in my way, I will f**k who I want when I want."

"You are still there spitting that crap about happiness," Qui Si fumed. "You don't deserve to be happy, your worth is about as much as a bird's s**t, the only thing you deserve is pain and death, that shall be your faith."

"Like, I have overcame countless challenges and obstacles which stood my way, I know I shall defeat you and when I am done, I shall take my time torturing you, slowly inflicting pain, I will o****m severally just seeing you making different terror-torn faces and when I am satisfied, I will kill you and then f**k the s**t out of you, it will be f*****g exciting, I would the same for your friend after, I choose to be happy no matter what anyone else thinks."

"I have had enough," Qui Si frowned as she jumps towards him, swinging her weapon as she was about to land at his position, Quan Chi grinned as he brought forth Sui Wenyan's weapon, he parried the attack but once he did, another Qui Si materialized above Qui Si.  Pointing her weapon towards Quan Chi, she shouted.   "Martial arts style : great fireball!!!"

As she said that, a fireball appeared, Quan Chi bit his lower lip as he saw the fireball approaching, as fast as he could, he jumped backwards escaping the incoming inferno, Qui Si muttered another set of words, doubles of her appear at Quan Chi's opposite sides, before Quan Chi could do anything, the two doubles rushed at him slitting off his two arms.

"AHHRRGGHHHHH!!!!" He screamed but almost immediately, the real Qui Si appeared directly in front of him, her sword was sheathed around her waist, fisting her right hand, she punched as fast as she could towards Quan Chi's face, her first was so strong too the extent that he expelled blood from his nose, he staggered backwards but Quan Chi wasn't yet done with him, she dashed towards him again hitting him vehemently breaking several bones in the process.

Quan Chi kept moving backwards, his body bleeding.  "She's fighting purely out of rage, there's no practical wisdom to the way she's fighting, I was right to separate the two woman at the beginning of the fight, I will show this 30 year old women that the main determinant of the outcome of every battle is not just about who's stronger or faster," Qui Si dashed towards him, she raised her legs towards his mid-section but almost she stopped mid-air, her body was trembling, blood was spurting from her ears as her ear drums began to explode but Qui Si just stood there, her face squeezed in anger.

"And here was I thinking you would have found a way to get rid of my barrier," Quan Chi grinned.  "Despite my many talents, I could never learn to decipher lip reading, I know the 27 year old woman must have told you quite a lot before she passed on, I was hoping she'd warn you about the barrier but even if she did, I guess you are too dumb to do anything about it, it's sad really as I was expecting this to be far more challenging, the barrier was disabled when you first came in but after a while, it readjusts to the spiritual energy of the next target that's inside, that was why I let you attack as that was to my advantage," while he spoke, his two severed arms which Qui Si had cut off began to grow back quite rapidly.  

Qui Si smiled as she had her eyes closed, when Quan Chi saw that smile, he quickly stepped back out of caution and as he did, Qui Si, despite the fact that her eyes were closed followed his movement "Could she have activated soundless like her counterpart did, no, it's impossible, if she had done that, she wouldn't have been able to follow my movement but there's something off about that smile, it's almost like she had found my weakness or something, it's impossible, there's no way."

"You told Sui Wenyan something earlier on about a weapon that the higher dimensional being made for you," Qui Si said in his direction, she now appeared completely unharmed by the sound which was in the area she was.  "I don't know what the weapon is but I have found out a quirk about it, it enables you to absorb spiritual energy, it must have had more as if you had absorbed the spiritual energy of that higher dimensional being we saw you with earlier, you would have been far more powerful than this, I am guessing there's a limit to how much can be absorbed," as Qui Si said this, Quan Chi gritted his teeth in anger.  "No, I stand corrected," Qui Si had a menacing smile on her face.  "There's a limit to how much you can absorb being that she was a being above you in every way imaginable, she couldn't manipulate you to become a higher dimensional being like her because of what Zhangshun Shan had done to everyone, they couldn't directly alter any thing in the environment that they haven't created, of the moment, the weapon lets you absorb spiritual energy from the environment, you use that energy to heighten your strength, endurance, speed and also to heal yourself of the various injuries you have sustained in a fight."

"How did you figure that all out?" Quan Chi frowned.

"I didn't but now, I know I am correct," Qui Si kept grinning.  "I just made random inferences based on what you kept saying, I don't feel myself losing any spiritual energy despite my discipline in Krigo mastery, I am guessing that's one more quirk of the weapon, the target would never even know he's losing spiritual energy."

"Enough chatter, I hate that look on your face!!" Quan Chi growled.  "I prefer something more aesthestic."

"Funny," Qui Si said.  "Aesthetic and You, those are like two antonyms."

"You b***h," Quan Chi frowned as he ran towards Qui Si, Qui Si still closing her eyes maintained her stance.  "The sound being produced in this space should mask mine," Quan Chi thought to himself.  "I am producing about 30 decibels of sound by what I am doing but scores more is being manifested in the environment, there's no way she would be able to know my position, she's trying to act tough thinking I might lose my cool and drop the shield but this isn't the first time, I am adept at battle, I will show her firsthand who has more experience." Quan Chi told himself as he ran towards Qui Si, fisting his right arm, he thrusted his fisted palm towards her face but as he did, his arm went through.

"This is impossible, I was careful to be observing her carefully right from the moment she entered this space but how is what I am seeing a dud," Quan Chi thought in fear but almost immediately, Qui Si appeared behind him, swiping her sword, she made a big hole in his back sending him backwards as he flew several miles backwards, bleeding profusely.

"Sound and light are different but yet, there's a similarity those two have in common," Qui Si began.  "They both travel around, you made this space like a typical Earth's space meaning that not only is air present here, light rays too are, that was what I was trying to figure out, Krigo manipulates the environment, I was able to expand the traces of carbon found in the air and spread it all over me, it made me completely invisible, I then created an intangible copy of me, it's useless as to some extent, every copy is supposed to be able to have an effect around the environment but mine doesn't but if was really beneficial for me in this battle as that same copy was laced with light rays as it kept bending around it, by placing my body on the same wavelength with those light rays, I am able to completely detect, anticipate and know your every move as the light rays constantly hit your body and my dud making it completely obvious."

"Byhahahahahahahah," Quan Chi laughed as he stood up.  "She's more clever than I gave her credit for but from what she said, it means she might not be hearing any more sounds, also she doesn't want to risk the other art of Mempo, the one which deals with sight manipulation, that's why she's relying blindly on the light rays but she doesn't know this space isn't automatic, it can easily be manipulated, I will remove the light effect, I have the advantage as the overwhelming sound doesn't affect me, when the lights are gone, it will be over for her."

As he said that, the entire space where they were turned pitch-black, neither of the two of them could see a thing, they were blind.

"I have you cornered now," Quan Chi grinned as he ran forward.  "Every human is an element of sound, from our constant heart beats to pulse, occasional blinking and several other things, we constantly make sounds though many don't notice because of the low intensity but while I have been in contact with so much women, I had noticed quite a lot of things while torturing them, I knew my observation would eventually pay off, I know where you are, I can hear your heart breathing, your pulse, even the movement of the blood within your body and as in order for me to be completely sure it's you, I can even perceive your smell, there were slight discrepancies in the smell of your duds that I combatted earlier but I have accurately gotten yours now, I guess your Krigo just couldn't mask that."

Quan Chi got to Qui Si's position, Qui Si couldn't see anything, she got punched in her lower belly, she staggered backwards as she spits out blood from her mouth, before she could try and make a comeback, something slid under her foot, she fell towards the ground but whatever slid under quickly came back up, fisting one of it's hands, it connected to her face knocking her upwards.

Quan Chi wasn't done yet, shaking his right arm at a phenomenal speed, he pierces through Qui Si's rib cage and brings out her left lung.

"AHHHRGGHHH!!!!!," She grimaced in pain, Quan Chi wore a look of satisfaction on his face.   "Ahh yes," he smiled.  "I have waited for so long to hear that from you, you made me armless, how about I teach you how that feels?"

As he said that, he held Qui Si's two arms, using his right foot, he held her body down to the ground by stepping on her stomach, he dragged her two arms, Qui Si's screams only got more deafening.

"Uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh," He grinned excitedly.  "Keep making those sounds, it's exciting, I shall c****x sooner than I expect, I really didn't expect it to turn out this good," as he said that, he ripped out Qui Si's arms causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Qui Si now wasn't just screaming any longer on the floor, she also appeared to be crying.

Quan Chi grinned as he lifted Qui Si by her long black hair.  "Let there be light," he smiled but as the light returned back to the space there were, Quan Chi's excited face turned to one of fear and disappointment, what he was holding in his hand wasn't Qui Si's true body, it was a white plain object with the physique of a woman and on it's scalp, there was long black hair which he held ,what was really bizarre about the dummy was that it was exactly in Qui Si's shape and body size.

"But how," he frowned as he put the dummy chest to his ears, he could hear the heart beating and it was the same he had heard from Qui Si, it also smelled the same way, the pulse and everything was similar.

"One thing about sounds like light is that they never truly fade away," Qui Si grinned, she was several metres away from him.  "They travel and they can be trapped, the way I truly manipulated the space you created wasn't just by altering the light rays or sound rays, it was by making an innate field here itself, it made me know all that was happening, I could see everything, the innate field allowed me to completely let the dummy replicate my entire life functions and smell, I could have done that from the very start but no, I knew you were thinking you had me fooled by intentionally falling for several of my fake dummies that you knew were, it was all to make me think I had the edge, well, I knew just how you were thinking too, you were able to guess mine and Sui Wenyan's ages, I am guessing it's because of our smell, there's a study that has shown that a woman's smell actually changes the longer she grows, this is due to the metabolism rate of the body because as the body grows and develops, the metabolism rate changes affecting even the smell of a woman, the smell-change isn't pungent and easily noticeable but for you to have noticed it, it means you were very sensitive, I transferred my smell to it while making myself completely odorless and soundless as I was sure to have completely discovered your trump card."

"I am levels ahead of you in scheming, don't think you have won just because you got an advantage," Quan Chi smiled as he turns towards her.

"Actually, I have an overwhelming advantage," Qui Si smiled as she held up a patch of hair, Quan Chi's eyes opened up in shock as he saw that, putting his two hands on his scalp, he realized that the patch of hair he kept there was gone, now, he was completely bald.

"The beauty of a woman is in her hair," Qui Si grinned.  "It's a quote from the wisest man who ever lived, Solomon.  To some extent, every woman is concerned about her outward appearance, I am no different and nothing highlights it like a woman's hair, therefore I took my time into studying everything related to the human scalp and the way hair grows, from the hair roots to the hair follicles, just name it, I have nearly everything up to date known in my head, from looking at your head, I realized the pores were undeveloped and incapable of producing any more follicles and no follicles equal no hair, it was all around in such a bizarre manner that I wondered how it was possible for there to even be hair in the center, it was then that it hit me, what about if it wasn't hair but a wig or something but why wear a wig here and an ugly wig at that, that's when I knew what it was, it's the weapon you were given, isn't it, knowing you, you would have wanted to hide or secure it better of maybe you thought hiding it in plain sight would be best, with this, I can fix my friend and now, you have no advantage as there's no way you can keep up with my speed and strength."

"What a fool," Quan Chi thought as he laughed hysterically in his mind.  "I was expecting her to figure what it was from the get-go, it was always my intention as it puts her at a complete disadvantage and now to show the final quirk that was able to murder the higher dimensional being." Quan Chi thought as he clapped his fingers together.  "Creation exists in order to bring about destruction!!!!!" He chanted aloud.

The hair that Qui Si held turned white but nothing was happening to Qui Si, if anything, her devious and evil smile had even widened, it was then that Quan Chi observed what was happening, Qui Si had held the wig in such a way that it seemed like majority of it was fisted in her palm but that was just misdirection, the part of the hair which looked like was being fisted had actually been carefully separated and  tied together in such a straight manner that the other end was tied around Quan Chi's left ear, also Qui Si wasn't directly holding the hair, it was a tiny stick that was attached to it which enabled her to look like she was holding it.

"Ooh f**k," Quan Chi frowned and almost immediately, his body got knocked up tremendously sending him backwards, he landed on the ground, bleedying profusely from his body.

"Earlier on," Qui Si grinned as she dropped the hair.  "You said you would never let anyone get in your way of happiness but that feeling you felt wasn't happiness, it's just pleasure, happiness isn't a feeling, it's a state of mind, doing things that seemingly make you excited brings about pleasure not happiness.  True happiness doesn't bring anyone sorrow and one who actually hurts and maims others in order to feel pleasure is nothing but a useless piece of s**t that should never be allowed to live at all, that's the true definition of evil and I shall not have that on my watch, I promised you earlier on, didn't I, that I was gonna kill you," she said as she now stood directly above him, Quan Chi was on the ground, his body kept deteriorating at a very rapid pace, he began to cry.

"A...all I j...just wanted," he muttered.  "Was to be happy."

"Then you can be happy," Qui Si grinned as she unsheathed her sword, plunging it as fast as she could towards his chest, she strikes her mark as she buries her sword eight inches deep inside the center of his chest.  "In hell."
