The battle between Eznos and Theodon continued to rage on through the city in the clouds as the ground shook beneath them, thankfully the damage was mostly contained to one part of the city

Theodon- "This fight's raged on too long if I'm right? We're nearing the sections that keep this city in the air... I have to take this bitch away from it"

Theodon kicked Eznos away from that section and made a sword out of God Energy and threw it at the beast. The blade stabbed through its chest and pinned it to the ground

Theodon- Alright, We're done... now leave

Eznos- C̶'̷m̵o̴n̵ ̶T̶h̶e̸o̴d̵o̴n̶!̴ ̵F̸i̴g̴h̶t̴ ̶m̶e̴ ̶l̴i̸k̷e̷ ̷y̵o̵u̵ ̷m̵e̸a̵n̶ ̶i̸t̴!̴!̴

Eznos exploded and changed forms

Eznos- I̷f̶ ̵y̷o̵u̷'̴r̸e̷ ̴n̷o̴t̶ ̷g̷o̵i̵n̴g̶ ̴t̷o̷ ̴m̴a̶k̶e̶ ̷t̴h̴i̷s̵ ̶f̶u̴n̸.̴.̵.̸ ̴t̸h̵e̴n̸ ̷I̷'̶l̷l̵ ̴j̴u̶s̷t̸ ̴e̵n̷d̶ ̴i̸t̵

the smoke cleared at Eznos evolved into her final form

Twilight jumped into the rumble and made her attempt to attack Eznos

Theodon- Twilight Stop!!

Eznos turned around and fired a ball of energy, twilight retaliated with a beam of energy, but it was easily overpowered and she was caught in it

Theodon- Twilight!!

Theodon launched at Eznos and locked her in a sphere that was locked to the ground and chained her inside of it

Divine Art; Simple: Imprisonment

Theodon ran to Twilight who was bleeding out from the attack and was burned on many parts of her body

Twilight- T-This blood... it's mine... isn't it

Theodon- Dammit, just stay still

Theodon infused Twilight Body with God Energy which healed a majority of her wounds, but there were still wounds and damage that was dangerous if not treated...

Theodon then put his hoof to the ground and sensed every pony within the city, whether they were alive or dead, then teleported them to Canterlot

Theodon- That takes them out of the way... Now I have nothing to hold me back

He released the Divine Art and released Eznos

Eznos- Y̶o̴u̶ ̴l̵e̷t̴ ̵m̵e̸ ̷g̵o̷?̴ ̶F̷o̷o̴l̷i̶-̶-̴

Eznos was soon silenced as Theodon was in his human form and had already pinned Eznos to the ground with his foot

Theodon- You must've forgotten that I was a Pillar of Existence... don't go thinking that some Apostle can defeat me in a fight..., especially one like you

Theodon picked up Eznos by the throat and threw her into multiple buildings including the one that Kept Cloudsdale in the air and the city gradually began to fall out of the sky

Eznos- A̸r̶e̸ ̵y̷o̸u̵ ̶c̵r̵a̷z̷y̸?̶!̵ ̸W̴e̸'̵r̴e̸ ̷b̸o̸t̸h̷ ̷g̷o̷i̸n̵g̸ ̵t̴o̵ ̵d̷i̴e̵ ̶a̶t̷ ̶t̸h̸i̶s̷ ̴h̴e̷i̴g̷h̷t̸.̴.̸.̵ ̴a̵r̸e̶ ̷y̵o̸u̷ ̴s̷t̴u̸p̵i̵d̸?̵!̶

Theodon- No... Only you will die

Theodon walked to Eznos and put his face on her's and absorbed all of her God Energy reverting Eznos into her human form

Eznos- Theodon, don't!! Help Me dammit!!

Theodon transformed into his pony form teleported away and left Eznos on the now free-falling Cloudsdale leaving her, in her last moments, in fear

Eznos- Someone Help me!!

Canterlot

Theodon- Alina...

Alina- Lord Theodon, what happened, multiple residents of Cloudsdale just appeared in the streets of Canterlot, and all of them are inju--

Theodon- I know I teleported them here.

Alina- W-hy?

Theodon- Cloudsdale is falling out of the sky as we speak and the enemy is dying with it

Alina- H-How?

Theodon- An Apostle was in Cloudsdale and I killed her

Alina- An... Apostle, from where?

Theodon- Someone sent her down and she went on a slaughter on all of the Pegassi

Alina- How many died... If you were able to send the dead here too, you must know how many died?

Theodon-  433 Ponies... indiscriminately, Phillies, Mares, stallions. All of them

Alina- We can't just sit around waiting for them to kill us off one by one

Theodon- Or... we officially announce this game to the entire world

Alina- that would cause outrage throughout the entire world... everypony would go into a panic

Theodon- well we just have to give it to them in a way that they won't panic... in some form they have to know. Sooner or later the news about Cloudsdale will come crashing onto everypony then the questions, and the fear, it's better to tell them now than to wait for it to come out worse

Alina- I'll have to think about it... it's basically telling everypony that they've been forcefully put Into a culling game against something they don't even know about

Theodon- well, we'll select an important few and inform them of the actual situation. Dignitaries, leaders, whatever... we must tell them or the entire Pony race will be massacred in front of us

2 weeks passed and Celestia had gathered everyone who was important to this world, Twilight and her group were there too. All of these ponies were all new to him... and surprisingly Neoma was there too

Theodon- Neoma... you're here...

Neoma- Don't say anything unless it's about this

Theodon- can you jus--

Neoma- Theodon, I would rather not argue in front of officials, if it's something so important... save it until afterward

Neoma walked away and the meeting was called and they all took their seat

Alina- Thank you all for coming, this is something far more important than all of us, something that will determine the fate of everypony

Dignitary #1- well what is it?

Alina- That is where I hand this off to someone else... my mentor from a long time ago, Theodon

Theodon put himself in front of them and looked at them all

Theodon- Well to put it bluntly for all of you. We're in a Culling game, I would say we won the first round, but the casualties would say otherwise

Dignitary #2- Round 1? So this is a game?

Theodon- Somewhat... I am the God of Reality, a title that is passed down for multiple Eons. This culling game is a ritual of survivability. If a world wants to live, but the Gods don't... we choose to make a game out of it... sending out apprentacies, Apostles... that's what attacked Cloudsdale a couple of weeks back

Dignitary #2- So... I'm afraid to ask this... but how do these rituals end?

Theodon- Like I said it's a game, we've won every time... we fight that existence until they're none left and they're all dead... they erase it from existence as a whole

Dignitary #1- So how do we win?

Theodon- You ask for the impossible... so I'll give it to you... We have to kill the entire God Race... The Omnipotent included
