From here on, it was like the man had forgotten everything that didn't involve the current squabble between him. Neither the stakes of failure, nor the cause of his arrival to this unknown landscape mattered to Gynesis at the moment.
Another attack came in, this time it was yet another swipe from one of the quicker women there. Aimed right for his face yet again. As predicted, the male evaded with a sidestep. Donning a slight smile, he cocked a fist back and prepared to go in for a counter punch, right for the attacker's sternum. Making her eyes widen slightly in either shock or surprise at the burst in speed presented.
"Do you bleed?!" The male deity asked with an almost cackle, watching as the opponent made an effort to dodge, an unsuccessful attempt at that. She tried taking a step back, but was simply not quick enough on her feet to recover in time.
If it wasn't obvious before, it's clear now, Gynesis saw this as the perfect opportunity to vent his anger and frustration. By hitting something really hard.
*CRACK!*
There was a loud, visceral crack that filled the air thanks to the impact made on the unnamed entity's body, and said entity's body was sent back as well. Clearing a good distance of at least 12 feet from skidding backwards. While it didn't lose its balance, it did stumble greatly.
Thanks to the skin to skin contact, the god managed to get a feel for what he was fighting against. 'Porcelain?' Gynesis questioned to himself, trying to pinpoint exactly what the material his body had made contact with was. "Are these dolls?!' The man mentally questioned as he looked down at his now bleeding fist, the source of that cracking sound from earlier becoming incredibly clear: He'd broken a few of his knuckles landing that hit just now. 'Fuck!' He swore internally, failing to keep most of the panic that began setting in fully internal. Luckily, that feeling was temporary, and quickly replaced with a growing excitement as he looked down at his bleeding hand, his mind racing with so many thoughts.
'Are you telling me damaging these things normally are off the table?!' Despite his best efforts, the ALU didn't manage to get past his attacker's defense, If anything, his own defense stat ended up being too low to even withstand landing a proper attack in the first place. Resulting in him dealing more damage to himself as recoil than he did to the opponent. 'You know what? Even better!' He thought to himself, pretending to look appalled at the sight of his own blood, dripping slowly from his abused appendage.
It became the "doll's" turn to smirk as it dashed after the glaring deity. An obvious sense of smugness filled the none-living object as it stared down the injured area on its way over to its target. There were no words expressly stated, but the hints were easy enough to pick up. The porcelain silhouette of feminine shape spelled out "I win!" in all caps.
The doll thought she had the upper hand, who wouldn't after seeing their enemy be so weak that landing an attack on you did more damage to them than yourself?. Was that rapidly approaching smirk a sign of arrogance or confidence? Only time will tell. after all the line between the two was simply too blurry as of right now.
During all of this, the other two possible dolls weren't forgotten. In fact, they took the opportunities presented to them to try flanking the new deity, each going in from opposite angles. With the Amazonian beauty rushing his posterior right and the lithe lady closing in from his closer to his anterior left. All while the one currently engaged in the "1v1" licked her lips as she closed the distance head on, adding what looked like a bit of a suggestive undertone. It was an obvious taunt. Anyone with functioning eyes could tell that much.
How does a doll lacking eyes and a nose do such a thing? Body language of course.
'What the-' The deity thought to himself, taken aback by the inanimate object's obvious taunt, inadvertently falling for it as a result. 'Aw hell naw! You ain't getting away with that!' He shouted internally with an external grimace, digging his feet into the ground before dashing forward, leaving the area just in time to dodge the horizontal sent his way from a certain Amazonian build construct.
'You're coming with me!' Tunnel visioned to the first he'd hit, Gynesis barreled right to her, sliding under the stab sent right for his heart while simultaneously pulling the attacker's leg, dragging her off her feet and crashing to the ground as he took her with him to her ally. None of which he expected to work. 'So they're too tough to strike with my hands, but not too heavy to be grappled... This is gonna be fun~!' The ALU mentally mused as he sprung to his feet and got within striking range of his original target, letting go of his latest victim at the same time as readying himself for superman punch to his target's chest. Who was already in the middle of sending a devastating back kick to the guy's chest. 'You're mine, little girl!'
'Sike!' Again, the man had to chose between dodging and blocking, and since he was already in the middle of a punch, the god decided to jump cancel his attack mid air, side flipping over the extended limb by grabbing it so he can use the thing as a springboard to launch himself midair. 'This... I've missed this!'
Doing a cheat gainer for extra style points using his superior speed yet again. As weak as he is compared to these women,, he's damn fast at the very least. Clearly above both enemy types in terms of both movement and attack speed at the very least..
At the same time, he was using his new position to line up a dropkick to her spine as she was still recovering yet again. 'That was close...' The man mused in his head-
*Record scratch!*
No the fuck it wasn't, don't lie to the readers like that! Why the fuck you lyin?
'Let me make this sound hype, damnit! These women are actually fucking hard to fight bruh. Contrary to me taking zero damage from them. If they so much as scratch me that's 80% of my hp gone!'
You say that like you're not posing for an Instagram Reel edit right now.
'Good point, now continue explaining to the readers what's happening instead of arguing with me for fucks sake. My back's starting to hurt from holding this pose for so long.'
Yeah, yeah, don't get your panties in a twist... I'm not paid nearly enough for this shit I swear I'm asking for a raise next chapter...
Ahem!
Her back still turned to the god, the lighter doll had no way to defend herself from the maneuver surgically aimed for the middle of her spine. Unlike the intruder, this female didn't have the agility to realign her body mid attack, forcing her to commit to the thrust in question and see it through.
Luckily, her ally didn't have suck weaknesses at the time, allowing her to attempt an interrupt unimpeded. That ally being the second heavy silhouette, who'd ditched her weapon of choice to return to the fight with closed fists and feet as her new choice of dealing damage. She'd seen the ALU's failed attempt to deal damage, as well as the result of said attack during her failed attempt to reclaim her weapon from the male's ability displayed, giving her the confidence required to go in weaponless. What's the worst that can happen? After all, he's shown that he can't damage the the doll with that poor defense he'd displayed thus far, far less the tankier feminine figure such as herself.
Just as Gynesis was about to firmly plant his feet on her back like he was stamping his totally fake J's soles on the lighter doll's nonexistent spinal cord, the second Amazonian showed up, interrupting the counter with a counter. That being a roundhouse to the face.
The first attack from these dolls to land true so far.
Which impacted with enough force to deal quite a bit of damage on impact, unlike Gynesis's first landed blow. As well as send the recipient crashing across the floor, careening several dozens of meters like he was in a category 5 tornado.
"Gah!" Gynesis grunted as he got the wisdom kicked out of his teeth. Like a tumbleweed in a tornado, the man was sent spinning across the floor, skipped like a stone across the ground, until one of the previously passed trees doubled as as a free roadblock and killed all that momentum.
*CRACK!*
"Fucking!-" Unfortunately, that roadblock stopped the ALU through catching him by the spine a few feet off the floor, resulting in a crunchy echo filling the previously quiet forest yet again, followed by a yell of pain and agony after the impact.
Upon his back meeting the tree, an X-ray showed the results of the impact, that being 15 vertebrae being dislocated and 12 being shattered altogether. The obvious sources of that satisfying crunch you'd only get when crunching leaves in autumn. After his back's free misalignment surgery, the man unceremoniously slid back to the floor below. His agony palpable as he writhed on the floor for a second like an earthworm in the rain. With some effort, he tried getting up to his feet. A failed endeavor.
"Yuh mudha cunt bhai!!" Gynesis shrieked as he laid on the ground, realizing that he's now paralyzed by the injury inflicted on him by that damned tree, dipping into his friend's dialect on instinct in sheer frustration.
'That fucking hurt...' Cucked of his W again, the man grit his teeth as he forced himself to power through the agony of multiple herniated discs and shattered bones to stand upright. Barely wrangling enough muscle functionality to shakily arise to his feet. Gritting his teeth in both effort and frustration as he stared daggers at the encroaching entities before him. They were easily a few seconds away, closing the distance between themselves and the intruder before them at breakneck speeds.
'I'm at what? 10ish% right now? With my spine looking like a half-played jenga puzzle, I ain't walking off the next hit they give me.' The god thought to himself as he stared between the encroaching entities and his balled fist before him. His options were slim, and his chances of survival were low, but not zero. And that's all he needed to know. Even if his body wasn't able to move as he wanted, the deity's mind was still moving at max speed.
By the time the women were close to being within threat range, aka close enough to hit the male, Gynesis had already devised himself a plan to defeat these overpowered artificial women. 'While this didn't work on Vinaya, it should at least somewhat work on these fake fucks... right?' The deity thought as he grit his teeth and began stretching, filling the air with the sounds of his bones cracking and realigning themselves into place upon his command.
Which was an incredibly painful experience the deity was putting himself through, managing to get a few popular yoga poses off before the faster two women arrived on the scene. With practiced ease, the man moved his body to these new positions, despite the agonizing pins and needles digging their way through every inch of his body at the moments of movement. 'My fucking SPINAL CORD! By lady Purple Heart I haven't felt this since the first time Vali and I met!'
In real time, only 10 seconds had passed since the god's spine had made contact with that pestilent tree. But for Gynesis it was at the very least a minute or two. As for the fastest women there, a minute at most had passed by the time they were within melee range again.
Upon their arrival, the two had caught Gynesis midway through hitting the half wheel pose, hands on his hips and pelvis protruding forward as loud cracks of the man's bones clouded the air yet again.
This was quite the peculiar position to be in for the god, especially considering the woman on his left was coming in hot with a diagonal slash while the other had a more horizontal line of offense offered. Making an acute angle of sorts as the weapons closed in on their target.
