Chi Kobayashi

Chi Kobayashi is a powerful being from a race lost to time. As a self proclaimed God of Nature, Chi travels the multiverse offering sanctuary to those in need.

Appearance
Chi Kobayashi is a tall man, and starting from the top he has medium length black hair that he styles with white streaks among the black. His face is not much to see aside from his eyes. Chi has heterochromia, so his right eye is green and his left is red. He typically wears a black suit flecked with golden dye and a red tie around his neck.

Occasionally Chi jokingly transforms into a hunched over, shriveled old man. This old man carries a cane formed from the root of a tree that curls into a circle at the top for a hand hold. His old man form has short white hair and he wears a plant green sweater and brown cargo pants.

Personality
On the outside, he seems calm and proud. He's never afraid to shy away from a challenge, never one to turn down an oppertunity to do something good. He's very outgoing and funloving. He particularly likes hanging out with and teasing Moeru and Sora. He likes to think things through, refusing to enter a conflict without a plan. On the inside, Chi is just as human of many other humans. He has a fear of himself and the power he has and attempts to hide it through confidence. He does, however, fall apart under pressure. It's not a fast crumble, but it'll happen if he's stressed enough or things keep adding on. Chi cares for his allies and wouldn't do anything to endanger them unless absolutely necessary, which puts him in some rough spots sometimes but he gets over it quickly. Chi does sometimes get lonely, but he spends time around Kenobya to get rid of that feeling.

History
Long, long ago there existed a small hunter’s village with a small population of 2,000. The village was named Kenobya, and was built in the form of huts and tents in formations that resembled modern day neighborhoods. The Kenobyans, like many before and after them, worshiped Gods. Unlike most other societies, however, the Kenobyan Gods were very real. There were several occasions, such as Kenobya’s festival for the sun god Nighla, where Gods would appear in human form and join the festivities, or when they’d host funerals for the dead and the God of the dead, Malthus, would appear and perform the burial rights himself. The citizens did not fear the gods either but instead strived to work alongside them and better themselves to rise to the power of Godhood like the stories tell the original Gods did.

Now in Kenobya lived a small clan known by the name Kobayashi. This clan was the last of the farming clans in Kenobya and tended to their vast fields and orchards in order to provide for their village. Because of their natural affinity for farming the Kobayashi clan was well known around Kenobya. See years before their family had come to good terms with the God Sameal, the god of Nature, after saving a bunch of wild land from being burned down at the cost of many of their clansmen and in return for their efforts they were granted the ability to influence small bits of plant life in order to help their crop grow strong. They used this power to the best of their ability and became a powerhouse for most of the produce and plant life in Kenobya. They were all happy using their power to communicate with plants and their lives as farmers until finally, 4 generations later, a boy named Chi was born.

Chi was a typical Kobayashi. He had dark brown hair like the soil in their fields and brilliant green eyes that reflected the color of the plants his family had spent so long working on. From a young age it became even more obvious that he was a Kobayashi as he got taller and more fit faster than the majority of Kenobya’s kids. He adapted quickly to the life of a farmer and learned to plow the fields, collect food, and spot weeds from miles away by his large family. Out of all of his clan however, he was the youngest, and it became evident that his clan was struggling against something to continue having children. Chi saw this and against his family’s wishes he chose to abandon the fields in order to try to pursue a solution to his clan’s inability to continue the bloodline. Because of their lack of modern day technology he struggled and struggled.

As Chi reached the age of 17, the age where Kenobyans are usually accepted as adults, he came to the decision to break his village’s oldest rules and travel beyond the Kobayashi’s fields. It was a well known thing that the Kobayashi fields formed a few rings around Kenobya and played host to the majority of wildlife that acted as the meat source for Kenobya, but it was law by the elders’ design to never leave the village under any circumstance. There was even a prophecy that he who abandoned the village would bring ruin to Kenobya. Despite this, Chi had to save his clan, and he set out with a heavy heart, praying that he would be able to return without invoking the prophecy.

Chi learned a great many things outside of the village. He learned that there were more plants than what his family knew and grew. He collected some of course, but that was the smallest thing to note. He learned that there were more humans living out in the world that Kenobya was unaware of as well and that they lived in smaller or bigger tribes. The big thing that troubled him was the fact that none of them had ever encountered his gods before. None of them knew of Kenobya despite the dozens of other human civilizations that lived and worked together from a distance constantly communicating with each other.

A few months passed. Chi was unable to find an answer scientifically, but was able to find one from magic. Someone had to have cursed his clan. That was the only explanation he could find. In a rush he headed back to Kenobya, fighting through storms and the wilderness to get back before it was too late to try to figure out this ‘curse’.

By the time he returned to his village, things had somewhat changed. A few of the smaller clans were larger and his clan was dwindling in numbers. It was to be expected since his family was mostly older people, but it was shocking nonetheless. A council meeting was called upon his return and he was judged for leaving the village despite the prophecy. Chi argued that he never abandoned his village, he sought to save it. His best friend Moeru Tamashi, who Chi had known from a young age after Chi had been saved from a pit of quicksand by the same boy, testified his loyalty to Kenobya. The elders, stuck on the old ways, decreed that Chi would be banished from the village and his clan would be banished as well. Chi retaliated, invoking the power of nature out of rage at these old fools who would, as Chi states, “Rather watch Kenobya fall into ruin than keep one of their strongest clans intact.” Moeru, acting alongside his best friend, joined in the fighting. Chi had learned from his time outside and inside Kenobya how to fight, and with several different fighting styles down he managed to hold his own against some of the stronger fighters.

The Kobayashi were forced to take up arms in defense of their homes and their lives as Kenobya turned against them, and the village turned to civil war. One that the Kobayashi were winning thanks to their fields spanning most of the village’s circumference. For 7 days and 7 nights fields burned, Kobayashi fought Kenobyans, and blood was shed. Chi and Moeru led their clans against the village in order to secure their safety. On the 8th morning tragedy struck. The gods, seeing the Kobayashi’s desperate attempt to survive and Kenobya’s relentless attack in an effort to follow the orders of the elders and the old ways, decided to intervene and end this conflict once and for all. In the middle of one of the battles going on in the village Chi and Moeru were possessed by Sameal and Enfaldin (The god of fire) and were forced to turn against the village in its entirety. The two gods rampaged, demolishing the village in order to start over from scratch. Chi and Moeru, however, sensed the gods’ intentions and used all of their will to seal the gods inside their own bodies. The gods’ powers weren’t meant to be contained in mortal bodies forever though and against their best efforts  explosive bouts of power would burst from Chi and Moeru as they tried to run and get somewhere safe while the gods raged in their minds. Thinking it was for the best, Chi and Moeru parted ways in what would one day be known as the Sahara desert. Their choice was to wander the desert for as long as possible until they managed to either banish the gods or absorbed the powers of the gods. Then, they hoped, one day in the future they would see each other again.

Days turned into weeks for Chi. Weeks turned into months, and after two months of aimlessly walking he lost count. His body no longer needed food or water to survive, nor did he get tired. It seemed that Samael’s power, however reluctantly, was keeping Chi alive. In his time in the desert Chi spent it relentlessly picking at Samael for information about anything spanning from life to plants to Samael’s power. Over many long years they wandered the desert and Sameal saw the kindness in Chi’s soul and decided to teach him how to use a god’s power in order to keep Chi alive. After what seemed like centuries Chi mastered channeling Samael’s power and manipulating nature like Samael could.

It was time to leave the desert. Chi had done what he had set out to do so long ago and headed straight for the longest time. After days of running he reached the edge of the desert and came upon civilization. He tried his hardest to make contact, but his language wasn’t recognized anymore. Because of Samael’s and Chi’s lack of knowledge on the current world, they set out to find out as much as they could in many different locations. They started in what was known as Japan and continued west from there, never staying in one location for long before moving onward to learn more. Many things came as a shock to Chi, but the biggest was the world’s lack of magic in this time. It seemed that magic was more myth than reality. His acts of magic were seen as dangerous by some and feared by many, so Chi and Samael agreed to remain secret in this new world until they’d learned as much as they could since Samael now shared Chi’s thirst for knowledge. Chi’s first language he learned was English, since it seemed to be the most common language at the time, then Japanese, then a mix of dozens of other languages. He learned about wars that made his war look like a cat fight. Though, his travels came to a halt when he was wandering the countryside and came across a tall tree that seemed to reach the height of a small skyscraper.

Out of curiosity Chi climbed a set of stairs that wrapped around the trunk of the tree. At the top of the tree he discovered that on one of the larger branches extending from the trunk was holding up an entire building; a cafe in fact. He’d never seen anything like this before and decided to investigate. Upon entering the cafe he came upon a scene: A male bartender with red streaked white hair was cleaning a glass while telling off another, much louder and ruder male customer who was trying and failing to hit on a woman with long brown hair and a giant sword at her side who was also trying to enjoy her coffee. The bartender called out to Chi with a big smile and Chi walked over, shaking the man’s hand. He complimented the cafe and had a discussion about life with this man whose name Chi learned was Daisuke. Daisuke had come from a hard childhood full of combat thanks to an organization known as the Ninja Assassination Squad (or N.A.S. or NAS for short.) As it turned out the woman who was being hit on was named Arty and she was Daisuke’s crush. The man, TJ, was a frequent customer until that day. Chi offered to deal with TJ, Daisuke accepted, and Chi blasted TJ off of the tree and very far off into the field. Once TJ was out of sight, Daisuke thanked Chi and introduced him to a large group of his fiends who went by the group name of the Hayashida Cafe. Chi was fine with being included in a group, but he worried that Sameal would go nuts again and try to kill things. He was already furious about the tree cafe. But Chi kept him in check.

After joining the Hayashida Cafe Chi spent his time protecting the cafe group from attacks from the NAS, hanging out and working at the cafe, and enjoying himself for once in several thousand years. He spent his time researching as well, trying to find out if anyone learned about Kenobya. Thankfully Kenobya’s ruins had been overlooked by archaeologists and scientists who would’ve probably loved to find Kenobya and all of its magical creations. And, as Chi learned, Magic wasn’t as scarce as he had originally believed, or what passed for magic anways. The majority of those at the Hayashida Cafe had genetic abilities, and many of the NAS members had some form of fabricated abilities.

At some point, Chi felt himself weaken. He had no idea what happened that he got weaker until Samael informed him that because they’d been forgotten so long, the old gods were finally dying. Chi and Moeru had sustained them for a long time, but that wasn’t enough to keep their memory alive. Because Sameal was dying and fast, Chi offered to take his place and continue being a being of nature. Evidently satisfied with Chi’s offer, Sameal taught Chi a way to take his power for himself. Once they agreed it was for the best Chi went to the base of the giant cafe tree and called on Sameal’s powers for the last time. The tree responded to Chi’s wishes and impaled him on one of the thicker branches, draining his energy from him before casting him aside to die. Because Chi was partially immortal thanks to Sameal’s power the tree had drained his life force to become stronger as well, and Chi’s body was dying. The host of Sameal had to die in order to banish the god entirely. Once his body was still Chi’s mind reformed inside of the cafe tree from his energy, but this time he was without Sameal. He could still feel his power rushing through him, but he was utterly alone. After forming a new body from the tree’s wood containing Chi’s consciousness he reshaped it and made his old body with the weird godly powers he now held.

The longer Chi stayed with the members of the Hayashida Cafe the more restless he got from the constant ambushes and attacks on the Cafe. After a few months of constantly fighting off attackers, Chi began to take the operation of the Cafe into his own hands and requested a response attack. Because the NAS was spread across the world, the group would have to split up and strike each of the 7 main branches of the NAS in each continent. Chi took the North American and South American branches while everyone else grouped up and went off to take the other 5 continents.

Chi, being the new God of Nature, used his powers to speed across the world to the headquarters of the NAS. It seemed they were expecting a counter attack to eventually happen and immediately Chi went to war. Thanks to his Godhood Chi was able to battle his way through numerous battles with powerful foes, crushing them in his wake before moving onto the next battle. His Kenobyan combat style was unknown to all who faced him which gave him an advantage in fights. Counting his Kobayashi family abilities and his Nature magic, Chi was nearly unstoppable.

As Chi continued fighting his way through army after army, he slowly began to realize he was no longer drinking in the magic energy of the natural world but was instead absorbing the power of those he was killing. He could sense countless lives swirling around in his body being transformed into energy for him to use in his attacks. Chi started experimenting with the new energy and learned he didn't hold just the energy of those he was killing. He contained their power, energy, and memories. Chi tapped into the new abilities and found that nothing could stop him now. He was on a rampage that didn't seem to have an end. The more he absorbed, the more he lost himself in the sea of power. A few weeks into his rampage Chi lost control and his body transformed into a being of pure energy and laid waste to not only his enemies, but innocents as well. His wrath took over and he began destroying the land itself. Chi pushed across the United States from Virginia to California. The more he killed, the more power he got and the more he grew. It wasn't until he hit the Pacific Ocean that he was able to stop. Chi's form rivaled the tallest mountains and he looked like he had taken the stars and forced them into his body. For two days he remained silently staring over the horizon.

On the dawn of the third day Chi's body melted away into his original one. He knelt on the sand and let what he had done wash over him. He could hear the country burning behind him. In a panic, Chi fled the world and returned to where it had all begun to search for answers.

When he returned, he found his home still remained. Kenobya was in ruins. Thankfully, it was untouched by humanity by some luck and Chi found solace in this. He wandered the fallen village and eventually stood in the town center. There, surrounded by his past, Chi meditated for days trying to think of what to do. He couldn't revive anyone, but maybe he could atone for his mistakes.

Chi tapped into his newfound power and it burst forward, nearly drowning him in an ocean of energy, but he took the reigns and willed it to act on his behalf. Kenobya started reshaping itself before him and before long he had created New Kenobya. It was then he decided that he had no right to his power and started splitting it away from himself and cast it across the multiverse, sealing it away within him, or outright ignoring his potential.

After the creation of Kenobya, Chi started adventuring beyond his home universe. He gathered allies and friends who would help him with Kenobya and help him keep the multiverse safe. Untouched by time, Chi could travel universes and search for those in need of help and do what he could to aid them.

Monolith:
About 4,000 years after the creation of Kenobya, Chi came across a dimension in dire need of assistance. Typically, Kenobya did not intervene with universal affairs, but the being known as Monolith was steadily gaining more power and was collecting mysterious "Orbs" of varying color and power. Chi's interest was grabbed and he shifted Kenobya into the Monolith Dimension. From there, he met with Touma Kamijou, the leading rebel against Monolith's forces: Subjugation. From there he learned about Monolith's hunt for the orbs and he set out to see what he could do.

While at first he wasn't the most successful at aiding Touma, he did manage to learn a great deal about this dimension and started getting ideas about what Monolith was planning. Then Monolith was sighted gathering a new Orb, a blue one, and Chi decided to go check it out for himself. A quick teleport from Touma's home in Korhal to Karakura Town and Chi was able to witness Monolith pulling the orb from the ground himself. Of course, before Chi could act at all, Haruko Haruhara leapt at Monolith and the Orb and placed a hand on it. Then, Karakura Town and the rest of that planet were consumed by the Orb, including Monolith and Haruko. Chi only remained because he had sensed the incoming destruction in time and managed to avoid it, but barely. In an effort to find out what had happened, Chi scanned the area for any life forms and discovered that the orb had remained. Curious about the orb, Chi approached it and attempted to make contact with it, realizing that it most likely had some sentience and could communicate. To his joy, the orb did indeed respond to him but only through sensations and feelings. Chi made a deal with the Orb to keep it safe if it promised not to consume anything else and took the Orb to his office in Kenobya for safekeeping.

After a few days of talking back and forth with the Orb, the orb seemed to lose control for a moment as hollow music played somewhere around them. From within the orb a terrifying mess of limbs and a thin body pulled itself free of the orb and attacked Chi, screaming for the music to stop and lashing out at everything around it. The creature claimed it was called the Blue King and repeatedly tried to kill Chi. Chi had to actually tap into his powers to fight it, but after a brief struggle Chi managed to calm the King and coax him back into his Orb form.

After The King's fight with Chi, it seemed too go dormant. Chi didn't understand why, but it was because of Monolith consuming the King's power from within it in order to escape. Haruko had managed to escape the Orb before Monolith could and told them about what was happening inside and Chi returned her to Touma's side before preparing for Monolith's escape.

Not long after, Monolith emerged from the King much stronger than before and forced her way through Chi's void dimension and back into the real universe, then proceeded to battle a Fake Monolith that had appeared a while before. However, Chi and the Fake Monolith were no match for Monolith's new increased power and were easily beaten. Rather than killing them though, Monolith simply took the Blue King and left Chi and Fake Monolith, who revealed her identity as Colette, her universe's equivalent of Monolith. The two of them agreed to work together and parted ways temporarily to recharge.

While Chi was healing in Kenobya, he received a summons from Earthland's Falaranion Capolom. The Yellow King had appeared in Magnolia town and was rampaging. Chi gathered the other Four Lords and they went to aid Colette, Touma, Falaranion, Daruk, and Misha. The team quickly brought the King down, however it turned out to be a trap and Monolith's Subjugation ships fired multiple eraser blasts at Earthland. Chi attempted to pull out his full power and lost control, unable to accept the reality of his past, and nearly burst apart before Moeru held him together and Fal teleported the two into deep space. Chi lost control of his senses and lashed out in fear at anything around him, attacking Moeru in the process. The two of them clashed for a whole hour before Moeru managed to land a lucky shot on Chi and activated one of Chi's seals. The seal sent Chi into a stasis, then Moeru brought Chi to a dead planet far from any sun.

Chi's stasis had him reliving his memories of the NAS War. In response to his memories being triggered, his physical body unlocked his full power instinctively. Moeru realized that Chi was basically a beacon of power now and decided to ask Colette for help containing his power while he entered Chi's mind to fix things. He brought Colette to the dead world and quickly entered Chi's mind to scramble his memories and trigger the seals again. While Chi slept, his dreams started fading away and he slipped into true unconsciousness.

After several hours, Chi finally woke up on the dead planet to Moeru and Colette talking about some kind of blob creature. He realized he couldn't speak and that his memories were a mess and started repairing them until Colette got word that Touma had gone missing from Earthland. She left Moeru and Chi on the dead planet to go help the others search, but Chi insisted they'd follow and Moeru brought them back to Earthland.

Back on Earthland, Colette located Touma and someone named Atlas and asked that the others aid her. Moeru forced Chi to stay behind so he wouldn't be a liability. Chi agreed and laid back to keep recovering, but accidentally astral projected instead of falling asleep. Deciding this wasn't a bad thing, Chi started searching the universe for a way to safely return himself to full power so he would stand a chance against Monolith. Far past the edge of the universe there was something that seemed to call out to him, but before he could investigate the others returned from their trip and Chi was snapped back to his body. The others were pretty battered and seeing them like that solidified his drive to get his true power back. While they started their recovery, Chi decided to find what was beckoning to him and left them behind to find it, hoping it would help him.

Traveling beyond the edge of the universe led Chi to a weird world. It wasn't spherical like most planets, instead it was a flat world that wasn’t larger than a small city. This slice of world had only a large castle sitting in the center of the land mass. Chi traveled into the castle and found it was entirely empty aside from the dining hall, where thousands of people were gathered and waiting for Chi. Immediately he knew who they were, all of their lives were stored in his mind. Finally, his past had caught up with him and it was time to face it.

Chi approached the table and immediately the millions of voices of those in front of him exploded in unison, all of them shouting at him and trying to be heard over the others. Chi knew this wouldn’t be easy, so he started by hearing out each and every one of the people in the castle. It took about a year, but time flowed differently on this world slice. That year lasted a few days in real time, and by the end of the year Chi had become acquainted with every souls he’d summoned subconsciously in his coma in response to his powers acting up. Each one he got to know faded away, finally able to rest knowing Chi was going to use their power for something greater than himself and would do his best to make things right.

Eventually he managed to help everyone and everyone helped him. But he wasn’t ready to use his power. Regardless, he’d been gone too long and had to go back to help deal with Monolith, so he left as the world faded and returned to Earthland.

After returning to Earthland, Chi met with Colette who had attempted to interfere with a ritual Monolith was conducting but encountered a block that was battling Monolith to keep her from completing the ritual. Chi and Falaranion analyzed the ritual Colette had described for them and recreated the ritual. The Ritual led Chi to a white realm where a female child showed him a vision of who the group later decided was The Mother of the Kings and wife of the White King.

Not soon after his return, the Red King appeared and attacked Daruk. Colette, Chi, Tyler, and Lumi went to help him. The Red King created a red fog that blanketed the mountain, then attacked Colette and Lumi with illusion-like beings replicated from people close to them while Chi spoke to the Red King. Unfortunately the Red King wasn’t as talkative as the Blue King has been, but he told Chi some important information about their Mother and retreated.

Colette, Misha, and Atlas got to work researching Mary Schaeffer while Chi searched around for anything in the universe that could help him. Rather unsuccessful, he thought about tapping into his power but realized that he was still terrified of it and refused to do so for the time being. As he was searching Earth, he sensed something back on Earthland and returned immediately, only to find all of Magnolia asleep and the Four Kings wandering the city as if searching for something. Chi masked his presence and listened as the Green King discussed with the others their plan. Turns out, they were looking for Colette for some reason and said something about Monolith completing her ritual, but vanished after realizing she was no longer on Earthland. Chi quickly searched for Colette across the multiverse and teleported to a different universe, appearing at Rhode Island where Colette, Atlas, and Misha had discovered the town that Mary had been in in Chi's vision.

Chi informed her about the Kings and Monolith, but was interrupted when Colette asked if he could dig up anything about Mary from the world. He shrugged and said he could, then dipped into the past a little and pulled a bunch off visions to the present for Colette. After viewing a brief summary of Mary's life, they discovered many more things but had no time to reflect as a massive warship appeared over Magnolia and blocked the sky and stars from sight.

A quick teleport back and the battle began. There were waves of ships firing at everyone (Colette, Misha, Atlas, Touma, Daruk, Lumi, and Chi). Deciding it was better to protect a location known as the Crystal Maze, everyone teleported nearby it to fight back. Touma manned the Odin while the others dealt with the warships. The fighting lasted for a decent amount of time before the group spotted Monolith entering the maze. Colette, Misha, Atlas, and Lumi raced after her and ended up sealed inside the Maze. Chi attempted to follow but found that he would need more power than he was willing to use and waited, hoping that they'd be okay.

About an hour after they had entered, Chi received a telepathic plea for help and helped re-open the Maze. Turns out that they'd been tricked by Monolith VR and were led into a trap to stall for time for the Real Monolith.After attempting to read Monolith VR's mind for information (which lead to her exploding), the group went to go fight Monolith.

Unfortunately for them, Monolith had already nearly completed her mission On the verge of bringing back the White King, Monolith brushed aside all attempts to stop her and just when Chi was ready to fight, he blacked out and was sent far from the battle and far from the universe itself.

Chi woke up in a vast expanse of nothingness. He could see darkness in every direction except one. A cluster of stars was grouped up far off from where he was and he felt totally drained of power. He had no clue what had happened, but when he tried to move he found that his body was heavily injured and couldn't move without erupting into pain. He came to the conclusion that he had attempted to use too much power in one burst and was blasted clean out of the universe. While the universe is infinite, it's still expanding and there's still tons of space left to grow into. Chi was floating there, beyond the edge of the universe.

Unable to move, Chi set to healing himself and started pulsing with energy to act like a radar for anyone searching. Colette soon found him and asked him to transport her to the White King's Realm. Chi, realizing he had no way to do so without fully using his power, finally tapped into the full power and let it take control. Finally fully connected to everyone and everything, Chi could sense everything again and satisfaction overtook him. It wasn't a bad thing anymore, he'd made peace with those whose power he had and was finally ready to use it. He and Colette teleported to the realm of the White King.

Waiting for them was the Essence and Monolith. The Essence seemed to be puppeting Monolith toward a glowing white orb, presumably the White King. The Essence greets Colette and Chi, the latter of the two not in the mood to waste time with conversation. Chi attempted to sever the connection between the Essence and Monolith and succeeded, but Monolith continued attempting to reach the white orb. Chi tried to speak to the White King like he had with the previous Kings, assuming that the orb was the King's dormant form, but the Essence stuck to Chi and started taunting him with vague questions and latched to Colette too. Chi freed Colette surprisingly easily and asked her to keep Monolith busy while he tried to awaken the White King. Then he focused on the Essence and the White King, threatening to lock the Essence away with him for eternity until he knew how to beat him.

Chi began absorbing the Essence's power to try to erase him, but the Essence hinted that it wouldn't work and that he'd tried this before. This came to a shock to Chi, who had spent a few million years searching universes for any other version of himself and had failed before. The Essence then warned Chi that he fell for his trap, which of course was Monolith. Monolith became corrupted by the Essence and turned on Colette. Chi could sense the White King become agitated, but didn't have time to focus on him anymore and tried to create a barrier to protect Colette. The Essence tampered with his powers since he was being absorbed and made the barrier almost crush Colette and Monolith. Chi stopped the barrier and realized he could hear the Essence in his mind.

Chi met the Essence in his mind and questioned it. The Essence was shockingly cooperative and told Chi he and Colette and many others had beaten the Essence before, but he would always return unless someone changed it. He referred to this someone as "she". Outside of his mind, Colette was being hammered by Monolith so Chi decided to purge the Essence from his mind and found little resistance. Once he finished purging the Essence, the White King became even more upset and started forcing himself back to life out of pure confusion. Chi tried to calm the White King, who showed him many visions of him and Monolith when she was Mary together, all in an instant. Chi realized that the White King, since his body had been broken, was struggling to exist despite it. Chi offered to allow the King to act through his own body and the White King took the offer.

The White King acted so smoothly, quickly separating the Essence from Monolith and brought her toward him. He held her close and stated that the universe would be better off without them, then the two vanished. It was like the White King erased them from reality itself.

Afterward, the Essence fell from that realm and returned to the universe, laughing with glee at the change in outcomes. Chi only felt shame having witnessed and felt the power of the White King firsthand. He should've been that powerful, but he wasn't. Chi wasn't sure why, but Colette assured him he would get there eventually since he wasn't born a god. He put the thought aside for the moment and returned them to Earthland. The two talked, discussing the "she" that the Essence had mentioned and the other Chi's that the Essence had fought before. They also realized nobody had gone after the other Kings, who had just dipped after Monolith had used them. Colette decided to end the conversation there and went to bed and Chi decided to start using his powers like intended, heading to the library to try to figure out what to do.

While meditating he started trying to sense the universe as a whole, but was stopped when he sensed a pulse coming from Subjugation. It seemed to be coming from a facility, sending out pulses every once in a while like sonar, like they were looking for something. Chi watched it for a little bit until his attention was pulled to Earthland, where Misha and Atlas had just teleported to another one of Subjugation's bases to speak to someone about Touma's family.

Chi continued working on sorting the endless voices he could hear as well. He locked himself in his office with some of Moeru's books and started figuring out the voices, but was stopped when a sound started ringing in his mind. Moeru broke his door down at some point and demanded to know why he'd been ignoring him, which Chi chalked up to not hearing his voice in the ocean of other voices. Moeru asked him about Colette and Atlas, who he had noticed had gone missing, but was so focused on the Kings and the sound that he didn't investigate. However as Moeru asked him to search for Moeru he sensed Monolith again for some reason. He went after her immediately.

He found Misha searching for the source on Earth, having also picked up on Monolith's signature. Monolith was sitting on a beach, relaxing like she was always there, then picked up on the fact that Misha and Chi were watching her. She quickly left, trying to shake Chi and Misha by teleporting out of a bathroom to her home somewhere else, but Chi easily followed her and brought Misha with him. He decided it was best to knock and not scare her, but she started powering up for something like she was threatened. Then the Green King walked past Chi out of nowhere and kicked the door in. Misha got ready to fight but the other three Kings' presences were made known and she and Chi thought better of it.

The Kings had come for payback for what Mary had done to them (killed them) and Chi didn't stop them, only requesting that he could have some answers first. Mary informed them that the Monolith they'd been fighting for so long was actually a fake, created by Mary to resurrect the White King because Mary was too scared to try. Chi started getting a bad feeling, like whatever had broken Mary's spell that had kept her hidden for so long wanted Chi and the Kings there. The Green King dismissed it but Chi remained on guard, just in case. Just as the Green King was about to make a move toward Mary he and the other three Kings seized up and transformed back into their orb forms, Misha's gauntlets vanished, and Mary passed out. Chi could feel his power weaken, as if something had tied it back. He created a zone of his own energy around him and summoned the Kings toward him to keep them from losing any more energy.

A giant man approached and tried to grab Mary but Chi tried to keep her safe. He found his powers were basically useless on the man but he managed to get Mary away from him but not before the man stole something from her body. Chi tried to stop him again but all he could do was lob some rocks at him and hit the guy, but the man kept walking and healed at an amazing rate. Chi tried to go after him but couldn't really move without the others so he waited it out.

The Kings left angrily after their failed revenge and Misha decided to go continue searching for Colette, then Chi brought Mary to Kenobya to try to heal her. He left her with his best healers and went back to Earthland to try to plan with Fairy Tail to find Colette, Atlas, Magnus (Erza), and Vascular (Lucy).

Soon after Chi arrived at Fairy Tail Ieolon approached Chi and asked if he had any idea where Colette and Atlas were. Apparently Moeru, Fal, and Ieolon had traveled with Misha to find the Kings while searching for the sisters and decided that the sisters were more important than the Kings at the moment. Chi was able to track them down again since he'd sensed them before and brought the group to a compound where Chi discovered that a stray Subjugation team was using negation technology to hide from people like Chi. Chi used the negation as a loophole and found places he couldn't sense and went there. He was able, with Misha, Touma, and Daruk's help, free Atlas and Colette in the middle of their own escape and take them back to Earthland, which was basically their base of operations at this point.

Once back on Earthland, during the night, Colette's relatives made a visit. Early in the morning, Alexander landed a solid kick in the face on Colette and attracted Chi's attention. He observed at first, overhearing that they were related and decided not to interfere. After some harsh words from Alexander Chi approached Colette and offered to walk with her while the two of them spoke. After a small talk the two of them decided to gather the team and invite them to Kenobya so they could have a private meeting.

Chi, excited to show off his home, brought everyone to Kenobya and to a private conference room where they discussed the current state of affairs. Misha brought up the Xanthos, which she, Daruk, and Ieolon had entered to escape the vacuum of space. They learned that Malis was planning on wiping out Subjugation planets and Chi agreed that he needed to be stopped before too much damage was done. The group agreed to focus on that first, assuming that the Essence was too busy regenerating and the Kings would be preocupied with their Kingdoms.

Before the group could set out, Colette had yet another guest. A butler sent to bring her back to their home dimension on orders of someone there. Colette left quickly, leaving the rest of the team behind to deal with the Xanthos. Atlas and Alexander started scouting out planets to fight from while Ieolon went back to Kenobya to speak to Shiruba and Chi remained to check on Mary, who had been left with healers in Kenobya to try to get her to wake up.

Before long though Chi returned to Earthland with Ieolon and Shiruba to find that Sora had appeared on Earthland and was being shown around by Fal. Chi and Ieolon started talking about whether or not they should remove alcohol from Kenobya when Atlas approached them, informing them that they had spotted the Xanthos, which was preparing to fire on a large civilian planet. Chi decided to go ahead and accelerate their plans to stop the Xanthos, teleporting Ieolon to the planet so he could speak to Alexander and get into the ship since his physical combat skills would bypass the negation and give them a good shot at fighting inside. Then Chi teleported into space to prepare some meteors to throw at the ship, which would also loophole the negation since objects moving through space retain a constant speed even if not being controled.

Once everyone had gathered on the planet the Xanthos started firing on them, trying to get them away so they weren't interrupted in their endeavor to blow the planet up. Several nuclear missiles were fired and Chi helped Atlas and Alexander stop one from hitting the planet by stripping it down to the core and throwing it out into space with their help. Everyone else was engauged in combat with a bunch of air forces.

Their efforts were futile, it would seem, as the Xanthos used its Vulcan Blast on the planet. The planet, however, did not blow up and transformed into a massive blob of the Essence who then proceeded to tie up anything in the area, including Chi, Atlas, Alexander, and the Xanthos. Chi was preparing to fight the Essence but under the threat of killing Lumina and Alexander Chi relaxed and didn't fight back as the Essence started explaining that it wanted Mary's crystal, wanted Chi to stop him, and wanted Chi to stop Monolith, who apparently had been ressurected yet again. Chi questioned why he would trust what the Essence told him, to which the Essence replied excitedly:

"That's the best part, you can never do that!" before exploding into many pieces and vanishing across space. Chi and Alexander remained behind to search for the Odin while Atlas, Lumi, and everyone else quickly regrouped at Earthland.

Alexander found it and the two of them teleported there together, easily entered the ship, and began heading to the central control room before Timothy appeared and stalled Alexander, who had Chi go ahead of him and find the control room. Chi did so, losing more and more power the further he went into the negation fields. He found Malis in the control room and questioned what the purpose of all this was.

Malis explained that he was taking revenge for his Fairy Tail friends who had died in the Dragon Slayer Torture Program and decided he was satisfied with his current work, determining that Subjugation had no chance of returning after his damage. Chi learned that he and Timothy were former members of Fairy Tail who had their existences erased from everyone's memory aside from a few other people. Chi offered to take him back to Fairy Tail, to no avail, and Malis set the Vulcan to fire again at another planet before charging Chi, forcing him to fight Malis in order to shut it off.

In a chaotic fight, as Alexander and Timothy had enetered the Control Room during Chi's and Malis's fight, Chi and Alexander worked together to beat Malis and get the self destruct working on the Xanthos. Chi remained behind to the last second, making a promise to Malis to keep his story a secret in order to keep Fairy Tail safe and bring Subjugation down.

The Xanthos self destructed, taking Mary's crystal (which had powered the cannons) with it. Chi learned that Timothy had vanished after the explosion neither Alexander nor Atlas could sense him. Chi decided they should return to Earthland and see what would happen next, but before they could leave the Green King appeared and demanded to know what had happened to Mary's Crystal. Chi told him it exploded, resulting in anger from the Green King, who threatened them until Alexander stepped in and got into a small argument with him. It was more of a sword measuring fight but eventually the Green King relented and vanished, leaving behind an ominous threat.

Everyone returned to Earthland once again. Chi couldn't sleep like the others, he kept feeling a gnawing uncertanty in him. He couldn't use his powers properly and needed to learn how to and fast. He lamented the White King's death until he realized that the White King and Monolith weren't the only two powerful people residing in this universe. The child. If Chi could meet the child again, the one that showed him Mary's past, he could as them for help. If they were willing to give it of course.

Chi grabbed Fal and brought him to Yharnam, hoping to redo the ritual that he had used originally to speak to the child. He had Fal there to make sure that he wouldn't mess it up, as Chi had grown unsure of his abilities since fighting the Essence. Chi and Fal managed to trigger the ritual and spoke briefly to the child, who directed them to Colette's butler. Chi met up with Alexander, Atlas, Misha, and Lisa back on Earthland and the 5 of them went to Colette's dimension to find her butler.

After a humorous encounter with Colette, who had been outfited in a frilly maid uniform, Chi met her Master: Rachel. Rachel told Chi about the Writer, Reader, Editor, Copier, and Destroyer positions; people who kept watch and maintained their universes. Though a new idea to Chi, he was able to follow along and was offered the position of Writer to take control of the universe and fix things. He was greatly tempted, but decided to think about it until he was sure that he was ready. The group learned about Monoltih's destruction in another dimension, which Chi asked the others not to tell Falaranion about. The group departed shortly after and returned to Earthland.

Once back on Earthland something fell from the sky and demolished Fairy Tail's guild hall, bathing the town in a green fog that started causing sickness across the town. Chi started fighting the Armored Figure with Alexander and Lisa's aid. They learned that it was actually Erza under the Green King's influence so Chi attempted to restrain her but the Green King came to her aid and started poisoning the planet. Falaranion joined the fighting, outraged at the destruction happening at Fairy Tail, and became locked in combat with the Green King, the King ignoring the attacks despite being stuck to Falaranion. Chi and Lisa attempted to keep Falaranion safe with healing and actually managed to injure the King, who panicked and vanished, killing the planet in the process of leaving and taking Erza with him. Chi noted he needed to speak to Rachel, who appeared upon him speaking her name.

Rachel and Chi discussed the Kings and when he asked if he could take the Writer's position so he could end all the chaos, Rachel told him that he wouldn't be allowed to fight the Kings as a Writer and would be better off how he was dealing with them, and hinted that each of the Kings had a weakness that was their exact opposites. The Green King couldn't be healed because he had no life, and Chi had done something to the Blue King before to win. While Chi couldn't exactly tell what it was he had done, he decided to put the Writer job off until he'd dealt with The Kings.

Immediate relocation of all of Earthland's residents was required so Chi dispatched many Kenobyan armies to help aid in relocation. All across Earthland Kenobya set up camps and flew their banners to make people aware of their presence. Healers helped weaker people teleport to the safe world while soldiers remained behind to maintain order, many of them using abilities that induced mass calm in people to avoid conflict. It wasn't their first rodeo.

Powers and Abilities
Omnipotence: This ability works just as defined. Chi has limitless power and potential. Any power you can think of he can do. . . Or he could, if he had accepted the power from the beginning. Soon after Chi had merged both his God powers with the countless energies taken from fallen soldiers his power became unlimited, but Chi feared that he lacked the resolve to use the power responsibly and split it from his body, sealing it far beyond his reach so he could never accidentally use it. Should he ever decide he needs or wants the power he can go after it, but it won't be a simple task.

Combat: While not a fan of physical combat Chi is well versed in meele combat. He can handle large groups of people with his fists and legs alone, if given a spear he can do much better. His weapons of choice are spears and staffs. His Kenobyan combat style is based mostly around trickery, making opponents take themselves or their allies out while attacking the Kenobyan. Once it's one man standing, Chi can get a few good hits in and bam, fight's over.
 * After removing his power, Chi retained some select abilities:
 * Immortality : Chi kept his immortality, as it was a permanent part of his physiology now.
 * Nature Manipulation : Chi kept his original power set, which was Nature Manipulation. He could continue to control the ground, plants, and animals of the worlds with his will alone.
 * Sensing : Chi held onto his ability to detect and track magic signatures so he wouldn't lose track of important people in his area.
 * Teleportation : Always a useful skill, Chi held onto his teleportation abilities so he could go wherever he wanted to or needed to at any time.
 * Various Magical Abilities such as: Healing, shooting blasts of energy from his hands, and creation ..
 * During the Monolith Storyline Chi managed to restore his power but it was like a child taking control of nuclear energy. He didn't understand how to use all the power and ended up being a walking reactor ready to explode at any moment. Oddly enough he was unable to use it against Malis when Malis had the Iron Bane Particles despiet Chi being the Absolute Power in the universe at the time. Most likely this was because of his inability and lack of understanding on how to use his power properly.
