Royal Retribution [WW4 Start Event] [Karakura Central]

Yuel could finally call herself "Miss Worldwide". After the events of the Karakura Summit, Yuel operated more or less as a figurehead, maybe more accurately as a "face" for the Lux Orior. While she wasn't the actual head of the sector that handled diplomacy, having been a major part of the organisation's internal structure, she made sure to have everything in order and capable enough for her absence from the base of operations to extend the power and influence of her own sector--the Research and Development Sector. For that reason, Yuel had gone around to allying nations and organisations to establish cordial basis and promises for cooperation in the development of their technologies. Up until now, she was able to gain guarantees from Vastime, the Gotei, and most recently--at the very least--a hopeful but yet to be finalised promise with the Solomon Sovereignty. From what she knew, although their leader wasn't fickle, they were exceptionally mysterious and cautious with the bonds they'd made overseas.

Throughout these experiences, Yuel found much more confidence in herself, her ability to communicate with allies, and most importantly her ability to communicate with her zanpakuto spirit. During the journey, she constantly maintained contact with Lov Rahjun and strengthened their bond. It was the prescience of her future memories and selves that hinted at the need for their bond to grow stronger, and very quickly at that. Such that, to her surprise, the moment where that bond need come into play was much sooner than anticipated. Upon her arrival back to Japan, after visiting her family still in their little village, the young chairman made way on ground back to Karakura. What greeted her was, most directly put, anarchy.

Immediately once she recognised the presences of origin for this chaos, the legendary Demon Queen Mana Asthavon, and the most recently crowned Demon King Ravan Vespara, Yuel made conscious connection to the Yuudeshi Network. It was vital that she quickly gathered all the information on hand to establish what was actually happening. The girl swallowed down the anxiety and panic that usually came out in these moments of crises and focused up on the issues that needed to be prioritised. Of course, it was difficult, especially considering the frightful words of the Demon Queen.

"Hello?!?! Anyone online capable of explaining what's going on?!"

The lack of coherent response was the most frightening thing. Given the surroundings, what seemed to be civilians involved in rioting and mayhem, and the presence of Mana Asthavon who was known to cause a decline in civility wherever she went, the pieces were easy enough to put together. So the most vital thing at the moment was to appropriately process all the information and make up a game plan. Given Mana and Ravan's presence and the nature of their demonic influence, it seemed unreasonable to instantly kick out all the demons and deal with them head-on in current circumstance, even using overwhelming and unruly force. The most important objective most immediately was to evacuate the civilians so that any further action could be conducted without worry of collateral damage.

Jump into it already.

The cold tone of her zanpakuto spirit rung about in her head, and while you couldn't quite call him the voice of reason for Yuel, he was definitely much more grounded than her. Such that, with her mind wandering in panic and planning, he decided to step in and remind her that the most important time in this scenario was to act in the present and not be consumed by plans for the future.

"A-aha, you're right, you're right. Thanks, Lov."

Once she grasped herself more comfortably, Yuel closed her eyes and focused on the sensations she repeatedly experienced during experimentation. After the events with Ulv, Yuel was finally able to sense spiritual beings and energy, and from that she could also just barely grasp the power dormant within her. Focusing on that energy, Yuel acutely drew it out, simultaneously reciting the words of power necessary to utilise this energy.

"My will is truth; my word is law. Arise, Lov Rahjun."

Once these words came out, the energy being drawn from deep within her inner world blossomed and enveloped her body. The energy shined illustriously, like the sun itself at dawn. The golden yellow energy gushed out of her location like a tsunami hitting the shores, and once the blinding light of her transformation subsided, what was left in a yellow glow was a small, horned form, and a grotesquely large sword by its side.

At the same time, Yuel was actively utilising the Yuudeshi Network and connecting herself to all the affected individuals being driven mad by the demonic energies running rampant. The girl granted access for the network to access her mind directly, and during the exchange undergo a process to stabilise the system itself and all the persons managing it, establishing control and order to the whole network.

Once her shikai was summoned and a semblance of organisation to the Yuudeshi Network and connected individuals was confirmed, the Duulheim removed focus from its management and laid her eyes on the surroundings. This time, instead of simply observing and gathering data from the network, Yuel was analysing her situation directly. With her Eyes of the Prophet, the sub-shinigami was able to quickly ascertain the multiple elements and variables in play. The Za Koa energy rampaging about, the chaotic element available to quickly discern the possessive magic in play here, and most importantly, a solid layout of where the demons were approaching through their portals. All the information present was rapidly absorbed and processed in Yuel's mind, soon to become tools of her own.

Once the information gathered was processed and understood, it was time to take action. World Embodiment--it was an ability not unlike Ravan's ability to summon his layer. The mindscape Yuel once formulated to accommodate her Arms of the Earth Technique that she learned from Ulv--with her World of Embodiment ability, it wouldn't merely be a mindscape. Instead, it was an entire plane of existence that could go beyond conceptual and instead superimpose itself with the current realm. So, obviously, she intended to summon it.

In a radius of 50 kilometres, the skies grew clear of atmosphere and clouds. Instead, a collage of massive celestial bodies coated the skies, and an oceans worth of energy descended from the sky. The then kilometres of Hellscape summoned by Ravan and massive swathes of space infected by Mana's emerald energy wasn't completely affected, such that within those zones the emerald sky turned black by the Demon King's influence remained--but immediately outside that area? The whole world seemed to change.

During this time, Yuel made sure to start early on her plans to counterattack. On the debris and rubble around her, on the bandages wrapped around her body, and through the tattoos carved into her body, Yuel started funneling the latent energies into her Renkinjtusu seals being drawn into these articles. It was almost fortunate that the territorial effects from such heavy hitters like Ravan and Mana were done in Yuel's presence. Even the Za Koa energies leaking from around the areas were rapidly being absorbed by her Kaisha Undou seals, which served to absorb latent and roaming energies to later fuel and power other alchemical seals.

Some of these other seals were reminiscent of the seals she once used in mongolia to summon massive celestial entities that could devastate the world around her--but of course, effects on that scale would take time to manifest their full power. She had to make certain that the energy they were absorbing and channeling wouldn't be interfered with, hence summoning them through the tattoos on her body and bandages wrapped around her limbs, keeping it close to her to avoid interference. It also served to immediately clear out the foreign energies in her immediate vicinity to stabilise the realm around her from the chaotic effects of the demonic energies, allowing her own energy to pervade throughout space and establish control of the area for herself.

Aside from her preparations with renkinjutsu, the areas within Ravan and Mana's influence couldn't be overtaken, but at the very least Yuel would be able to manage clearing the area of innocents and debris. Utilising her ability to synchronise subjects, Yuel took the fallen and destroyed buildings, the broken terrain, debris, and rubble, and synchronised them into her conceptual world. From there, she transferred the debris outside of the immediate vicinity of Karakura Central's city zones, and into the area of 50 kilometres within her control and outside of Mana and Ravan's influenced area. If they were going to fight, at least take out the obstacles, right?

And once all these preparations were in order? It was time to meet the faces of these folks. With a smile, of course--that's the point of hospitality. The young girl arose from the ground-level, rising into the skies to meet her adversaries properly, a good 250 metres of distance away from them--just to be sure. If it were the usual Yuel, she'd certainly make preparations, but by no means would she ever want to be as confrontational as meeting her opponents face to face, even with such a distance set. When Yuel was in her shinigami form, however? The influence of her suika blood and the personality of her zanpakuto spirit seeped into her current self, a much more aggressive and abrasive type of girl. Especially when provoked by insults, such as Ravan's spiel of Karakura's weakness.

"Oi, laddie, come haur an' say it face tae face wa dornt ye? I'll shaw ye weak, jist lend me a mirrur."

The scottish drawl to her words may have made it difficult to understand her retaliation, but it was definitely a verbal retaliation--the smirk on her face, and the tightened grip on her massive zanpakuto drawn into an aggressive stance made this clear. A crushing wave of spiritual energy was subsequently summoned to wrap around her like a protective armour bracing for the inevitable clash.

"Teel ye whit, lad; let's rin a wee experiment. see whose warld runs better, but here's the thing--in mah warld, energy has a tendency tae attract. kin' ay loch gravity!"

Of course, neither Ravan nor Mana would properly understand the meaning to her words, but Yuel's mention of an experiment established the utilisation of her core ability: Theory Induction. The experiment immediately began. Under the stipulation that Yuel could use her spiritual energy to fill the void of a physical law by purposing her own theory, if she was able to maintain the effects of energy clumping together as if to simulate a gravity to them, although it would take a while in some time it would become an established law.

Energy that existed within the domain of her zone of influence would develop a gravity to it, such that the more energy was concentrated in a certain area, the higher the tendency of attraction it held, such that pulling energy apart from its clumps would be incredibly difficult. In the long run, this meant that, especially for persons of such higher energy content and power as them, it would become absurdly difficult to utilise their energy normally and comfortably. This experiment had to persistently operate for one continuous duration, and interrupting the active concentration and cluster of energy outside her body was necessary for the theory to be induced, hence the usage of her renkinjutsu seals on her bandages aside from the tattoos on her physical body.

If it wasn't for the oncoming presence, Yuel might've already jumped to pounce on Ravan, but such an engagement found delay. From the very skies like a cannon ball, a fortunate ally came tunneling towards the area between her and the two demons. By the time he made impact, Yuel successfully analysed their presence and determined who it was.

"Thaur ye aur, ye big oaf. How're ye gonnae come late tae defendin' Karakura, Defense an' Support Chairman?"

Actually, it wasn't just Hayden. During his arrival, it was definitely Hayden, but once the dust cleared from his flashy entrance, what revealed itself wasn't simply the Vastimian Militant-King. In all honesty, for a vizard he looked a lot more demonic--which was saying something, considering Yuel was a Suika. Naturally, she begun analysing her ally with her Eyes of the Prophet, and from there was quickly able to understand the interaction underwent to turn Hayden into a much more malicious creature. So malicious, in fact, that Hayden was speaking with absurd vulgarity and profanity, to the point of Yuel's discomfort, prompting her to quickly log all these changes of his into the Yuudeshi Network for documentation.

"Ye best calm yerself, laddie. but, since yoo're haur, Ah suppose i'll shift focus."

True to her words, Yuel's aggressive stance was maintained, but her eyes shifted from being focused on Ravan and instead to his counterpart, the Demon Queen Mana Asthavon. In this moment, Yuel kept her calm and cooly began analysing all the information she could accrue of Mana, and cross-referenced it with what the Yuudeshi Network could manage as well as previous records on the Goddess of Discord. All the data Yuel needed to manage understanding her opponent and how to break the bitch down, block by block.

[REFER TO THIS SPOILER]

Spoiler:

These type of conflicts tend to move at supersonic speeds, did they not? So it was clear that all the actions taking place were moving at a movement of speed most humans couldn't bother to fathom. Ergo, the variables of this battle were becoming apparent and The Demon Queen didn't seem too concerned one way or another as the conflict of Ravan and Hayden started to otherwise get underway. She wasn't quite too certain what was occurring with The Vizard, but it was apparent that taking that attack headfirst wasn't the smartest of ideas. After all, Ol' Mana only grew stronger from the madness, chaos, and strife being induced upon the mind and body of Hayden.

Furthermore, the body of Hayden could sustain a great deal of damage from the influence of Mana's Disruption Control. This meant that the instability that his mind, body, and heart was under after being in such strife and taking a direct blow from the energy left him potentially vulnerable to her chaotic influence. And this wasn't something that dealt with anything to will, as this ability could cause instabilities on the biological and metaphysical essence of a character.

So Mana intended to give Ravan a leg up on the battle by inducing an internal sense of destabilization upon Hayden's body. He may feel many of his organs being damaged, random wounds opening across his body, excess amounts of spiritual energy leaving him and feeling a sense that it's harder to otherwise summon his abilities. This is because her disruption control was all the more potent with the amount of chaos, strife and madness being induced in the city and it would be hard to outright purge given his current state of outright chaos around his body. Which means that outright tanking it, negating it or otherwise absorbing all of this energy was nearly impossible.

With that little matter taken care of, Mana then could set her sights on the yellow banana raging toward her way. And as soon as Yuel attempted to absorb the latent energy around her, she'd find these seals she placed being destabilized. Again, rather than relying on a million other abilities, The Queen decided to focus in on her element of chaos and this singular power for the time being. Ergo, she sought to disrupt the flow of balance within these seals to outright obliterate them and have them disintegrate before Yuel's eyes to prevent any further tom-foolery from taking place with her Disruption Control ability. At the same time, this may cause World Embodiment to outright be negated in the best possible scenario because Disruption Control's influence could cover the 50-kilometer radius in the sky and destabilize it to the point of being unable to be summoned effectively or safely.

Of course, in a battle of this scale, concessions had to be made as well. Given that she already caused a strong amount of carnage being here, Mana's bigger priority was dealing with the tampering hand of Yuel in this battle so that she may otherwise have room to eventually better assist Ravan in his clash against Hayden.

'I'll assist ya how I can, but it looks like I'll take 'da angry Scottish banana ovah' there.'

These words would enter into the mind of Ravan as The Demoness knew how this battle was going to go from this point onward. So, rather than waste time engaging in a dialogue with the fiesty oni, The Demon Queen's precise awareness of the metaphysical knew that the world around them was altering from her presence. Hence, after taking a quick deep breath, The Royal Asthavon let out a demonic screech which deafened the whole city around them as she sought to utilize her Disruptive Control to otherwise rip apart the very concept of Yuel's influence over physical law and negate it by using Disruption Control's ability to tear apart the metaphysical matter which induced this supernatural occurrence to take place in the world around them.

Then, no matter what occurred before or after, Mana then motioned for all the excess amounts of Za Koa in the area to bend to her will and fired multiple burst of energy akin to a cero toward the direction of Yuel so that she may be forced to go on the defense or offense. There were a total of two dozen of these blasts and each of them was devoured in an emerald, black and red color. If they were to make direct contact on Yuel, she may find herself becoming more destabilized as they were filled with Disruptive Control's influence and she may find it harder to keep her mental facilities focused, more difficult to summon her energy safely and her body may outright start to decay on itself and could start bleeding, organs malfunctioning and bones may shatter, break or crack under this influence. And this is ignoring the obvious fact that if they explode immense waves of fire may devour her body, the impact force could lower her durability and the drain of having to deal with mulitple attacks could take it's toll on the young fighter.

Regardless, Mana made sure to keep moving and went upwards in the air to otherwise gain a further aerial advantage and await to see the results of her attacks as the sounds of giggling children were heard in the essence of her energy being released into the space around them all.

"Come n' get me then, bitch."

n' with those words roared with a smile and wink of her right eye, Mana antagonized the golden banana and dared her to come and attack.
