Insanity At Its Best

Chapter 19 - Mind Games

"So….this is how it ends, doesn't it? I thought I killed him when I retrieved his sword but apparently I was blind to see that the obvious fact that I cannot kill him. He is somewhat of a deity and I'm just a mere mortal. His aura is incredible, its way stronger than mine…..but knowing that fact does he still want to fight me? Even though that he is certain that he will win? This is isn't some blockbuster movie where I save the day. I bet the old guy is just laughing his a.s.s off to see me duke it out with this guy. I have to think rationally for a second, this is the Devil. The very definition of evil, he is treacherous in many ways and I bet he has several aces up his sleeve. There are over 8.1 quintillion possible outcomes, most of them are in his favor where I am completely obliterated by him, very few where I forfeit, even less where he lets me live, but out of the lot there are 2 ways where I am the victor, but the problem is that I can't see it," Jake thought.

"Are you done?" the Devil asked.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jake replied.

"Its fine, kid. You are thinking of a strategy and you are thinking about those 2 possible futures that you win, right?"

"How did you--"

"Relax, kid. I noticed that you used 'Forbidden Foresight' a while ago. It's pretty impressive that you can do that without breaking your limbs. I hate to do this but...…listen, kid. The big guy is busting your balls, he has some scheme all planned out for you. You may see him as a savior but he is wicked to the core. This event right here, it's all his doing. He is manipulating you, what did you think when he created your little girlfriend? That girl was real but she wasn't who you thought. She used you from the very beginning. She was the one who was bringing chaos; she manipulated Blaze to motivate him to get that worthless artifact. That 'ALMIGHTY AMULET' was just a regular accessory from a pawn shop; she got you to fall for her and used you to unleash your powers to show the guy upstairs what you are really capable of. She mimicked the very image of a perfect woman drawn out in your mind to make you fall for her, and I know all this as I was observing. I was able to predict what was going to happen that is why I made you think you defeated me so you can get my sword to strengthen up a bit," said the Destructive One

"No....that can't be it....no no no no no no...…I'm...….pathetic," Jake spoke with shock.

"I'm sorry but this is where our ends meet. I wanted this to happen because this was my only chance of breaking out of that hellhole where I suffered for eons. You see, I too have 2 possible outcomes, one is that I'd die brawling with you whilst taking this world with me this is because I'm in the mortal realm which make me mortal too. The second would be that--," The Devil choked, coughing blood. His vision was blurry but he made out Jake was in front of him with pitch black soulless eyes.

"You know…..for the Devil you talk too much"

"But how…wait...YOU KNEW?! YOU BASTARD HOW?"

"Of course I knew...I knew that 2 of my outcomes was where I am the victor, it didn't make sense. It's because that I would have to perform one of possible futures where you would win, so I analyzed all of them and made sure I didn't make the wrong move so I narrowed it down to everything you spoke and the outcomes started clearing away lessening and lessening to 2 outcomes. The blank ones, which made sense last that....I could do what I want, to simply put it…..I wrote my own future."

"THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS!! YOU COULD HAVE PERFOEMED THE OTHERS BY MISTAKE…..HOW DID YOU PREVENT ALL THE OTHER OUTCOMES??"

"Simple, I didn't attack. In all my outcomes, 8,199,999,999,999,999,998 to be exact, I attacked and led to me failing."

"Hehehehe"

"Why are you smiling? You lost"

"Did I?"

Two dark forces broke out of the Devil's body and swirled around in the air. The Devil returned to a normal human. The two forces were black and purple.

"My one future said that I'll finally be free and someone else will take my throne"

"Wait-NO!"

The two forces jumped into Jake's soul filling his black eyes in ruby red. His veins were marked in purple. The tattoo on his back altered into a different image and crawled out from his body. Jake screamed with agony and he felt something peculiar. He opened his eyes and turned to his back. He looked in shock and with a terrifying grim.

"BEHOLD! MY NEW SUCCESSOR! JAKE GRIFFIN, FOREMER SUPREME BEING, AND NOW THE NEW HEAD OF THE CHAOS CLAN ALSO KNOWN AS...…..THE DEVIL HIMSELF"

The sky was blood red with a lapis moon. The fate of Jake changed along with the former Devil, The Divine One and the rest.
