Bound and gagged rather quickly once the advocate of the earth came immediately into being, it would be forced to look up into the eyes of Primalpha, he who had jurisdiction over it, and sneer at it with both faces. The darkness that was within it kept it in an eternal state of contempt, which only made the illness within worse. In this, it would not allow itself to be vanquished so easily, nor made to look so foolishly weak under the might of a minuscule Earth God. No, this creature WAS the very energy of the Earth itself! How dare this mongrel think it have any power over the great and mighty Shinsanity that is the Earth!
"Disgusting bug..." he found a way to mutter out from his strangled throat, "... You dare send mere mortals after... A cosmic divinity such as myself...?!"He saw this as a form of making an example of how weak he was, and was not about to be made to look as puny as those whom his very energetic flesh was stripped of and given to the people as bread to eat. There was nothing left of the Michiogre save for charcoal colored bones that took the form of Black Roots, thorns littered about them like a cactus and patches of dead leaves littered about places where its body was still attempting to produce life... Yet only found sickness. "... I will show you my strength... You were a fool to think you could control me so easily... To make me look weak..." Power was his struggle, and so with it, would he show who was the most powerful; who was the biggest and the strongest. He would prove to the Tsuchigami AND the Rogues that they were not anything more than tiny pests that he could crush at any given moment.
"I have seen the end of my cosmic life..."
"And that day is..."
The binding roots that held him down started to tremble, each of the four arms being held down rising up slowly as all their might was put into uprooting the Black Root that tied it down. The four eyes of the creature would gleam a bright red, as if that of a crazed being with naught but his mind and heart but the thought of destruction; to totally overcome the adversary, no matter the cost nor whatever the destruction he could cause.
"NOT TODAY!!!"
The Rogues of Depthsroot all muttered in agreement among themselves, pretty pleased with how that planned sounded. They were gonna get some cool earth powers, probably gonna just use them like they saw on some of their favorite TV shows and comics and stuff (Anime and Manga included), do some cool earth things, make earth look awesome since usually no one ever chooses this element for some reason and... Weeeeeell, take down this Golem. Sounded like a good plan.
Congregational mumblings: "Yeah Mhm sure most def sounds like a plan hell yeah sure thing let's do it."
It was then that they witnessed the Tsuchigami strip the very flesh of the cosmic being from his body, feeding it to the masses as though it was bread and water to drink. The cosmic energy that had once contained the darkness that was now in the shape of the Michiogre's bare, Dry Bones would be exposed to them, and they would all look upon it in horror and shock. "OH MY GOD, IT'S HIDEOUS!!" shouted 'that one guy,' who, you know. Always had to be 'that one guy' in the crowd.
All of it seemed fine until the skeletal essence started trying to break free of its root-chains keeping it secure and waiting for the final blow. The citizens all gasped on their own time, some a bit panicked because they could see that things were now taking a turn for the worst since the Tsuchigami was using his power to charge. They weren't sure how long it was going to take, but they did know that they had to do something about this monstrosity before it broke free.
"COME ON, EVERYONE!! LET'S FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE OUR POWERS BASED OFF OF THINGS WE'VE SEEN ON TV AND READ IN COMIC BOOKS!!! THEY HAVE HIDDEN MEANINGS, MESSAGES AND SECRETS THAT WE COULD PROBABLY USE TO OUR ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW!"
"YEAH! HELL YEAH! LET'S DO THAT!!"
And at that moment, right on the dime, all of them would think about which one of their favorite Earth-using favorite characters could be the catalyst for their own developmental and experimental power that would eventually become their own through energetic and informational transitive property.
Many people got to flashing Hand Signs all cool, making up random shit that they felt looked nice in order to muster up energy within themselves. Whatever they believed would suddenly begin to happen around them, calling forth geodes from the ground that were hurled toward the creature.
Others took a different approach, moving as if they were Bending the very element itself to their will with their own radiant waves of their movements, in tune and in time with nature around them. They would start causing random natural occurrences such as earthen spires to shoot up from the ground and try to pierce the creature, the earth itself moving in tandem with their own physical motions.
There were even a few who would, after concentrating really hard, would Alter the make up of the earth with their minds, causing their molecules to break apart and reform as armor or weapons or machines that they could use to fight against the monster. They would hop into their G-Robots and take in their hand their Laser Cannons or equip their Long Swords (some of which merely hovered midair) and Heavy Armor (some of which formed in front as shields) in order to go hard for the battle of their lives.
They were all pretty disorderly and kinda were just doing random things, though. They actually barely had any control over their powers and were also doing a wee bit much trying to look cool, not actually hitting their mark whilst trying to show off. They weren't doing much of anything effectively, and kinda just sat there looking like fools doing random flashy things that weren't effective AT ALL to getting the job done. But, they'd probably do this for a while until they realized that they literally were NOT getting their goal accomplished and were kinda just dicking around. At LEAST they would be getting some practice in with using their own powers and stuff... Kinda.
While everything was going down, Tsubake kinda stood there happy as a clam, smile on his face and excitement in his eyes. He was gonna see some real action here now and it was gonna be awesome. He didn't think anyone else knew what was going to happen, but surely enough, he was already prepared.
"Aw sweet! POWERS!!!" Yes, everyone was probably going to be the most excited about just... Powers in general, and Tsubake was no different. It was just cool. Come on. "Let's see... I know what some of mine are already..." Body Enhancement was one, since the power of the Earth also fell into the jurisdiction of the physical body, itself. He had a First and a Second Gear that he'd been working on for a while now, one that increased his physical strength and one that increased his physical speed. He could definitely strengthen those more proficiently now that he had some cool badass Earth Energy Blessing powers.
He looked around and saw that everyone else who had gotten these power as well... Were basically using them to do all sorts of random bullshit instead of actually fight the thing that was going to oppress and torment them for the rest of their natural born lives as a tyrannical oppressor no different from a certain 'Lordgenome' that dwelt in his own ignorance and wallowed about in his own filth that became of his planet overrun by wild beasts, poverty and corruption. Sometimes, that is the fate of monkeys; wallowing in your own filth, if you don't realize that it's filthy. Ignorance, yeah?
"Ummmm..." he would raise his hand a little awkwardly, as if trying to get everyone's attention, "Instead of doing... This... Why don't we use our powers... Collectively... To uh, focus on binding the thing that's trying to break free of its roots? Since we all, you know. Have EARTH powers and stuff. It just seems like it makes a lot of sense."
He looked around with a goofy, yet hopeful expression on his face, eager to see if anyone else thought it was a good idea.
"Eh?! Eeeeh!? Anyone?!"
Primalpha was pleased with all of them learning to use their abilities so; that is why they were given such power, in the first place. In order to defeat greater threats than they had ever seen before, they were going to need these divine cosmic blessings from the heavens in order to cleanse their world and anything from any other from the dark forces that sought to enslave or destroy them with their own power. There were beings beyond what they'd ever before known outside of their planet that were far more corrupt than anything that existed here, and the Michiogre just so happened to be one of them.
"It will take me a bit of time to charge this attack, but when it is complete, it will ultimately destroy this dark revenant at the Root of the Earth." The Root of the Evil would soon be vanquished, and eventually, so would everything else up the ladder. Primalpha continued to concentrate, feeling his grip weakening as he did; but only due to the necessity to collect his energy as swiftly as possible. "Hurry! Find a way to restrain him! I will fall silent, unless the need arises for me to assist you all. Worry not for your safety, for I will protect you. With the Earth Energy within you, I will also be with you." He just hoped that it wouldn't come to that, considering that he was the one that needed to concentrate on himself so he could get rid of this creature as quickly as possible.
"Crystal Shard Satellite System, Kagutsuchi;
Kaihou. (Release)"
At that moment, from behind him, numerous translucent Crystal Shards would sprout as the form of diamond-shaped mirrors, each of which would hover behind him in a circle as a shining light would appear behind the head of the Tsuchigami, as if a halo upon his head starting to glow. The light radiating from behind his head was that of pure Life Energy, which would bounce off of each of the revolving tilted Crystal Shard Mirrors and back down into itself, before repeating the process by shining more brightly and shooting the energy into Primalpha's head as thought Enlightening his Mind. It had a whole 'Sun and Moon' effect, where the light of what generated the energy was reflected and amplified by what reflected this same energy back into it, so that the process could repeat and perpetual rising energy could be achieved. The light at the core was shaped like a Pumpkin and the mirrors around it were like the petals of a Lotus.
Amused by their folly, even in his own state of imprisonment, the great contemptuous ancient would chuckle dryly after seeing them attempt to utilize all of its cosmic power with their simple, puny, ignorant minds. They knew not of its true and greater potential, which only the cosmic divine, such as himself and the Tsuchigami, knew of. Each of the small rocks and weapons formed against it would do nothing but add to its power, for even as the Darkness of the Earth, it still was... The Eeeaaaaarth. Feeling the strength of Primalpha's bondage weakening and his own strength being enhanced by the fools that thought they were doing some damage by striking him with earth-based techniques, his arms would rise more, uprooting the roots that were desperately attempting to hold back his rising physical prowess.
"WHO'S THROWING PILLOWS AT ME!?!?" he cried out arrogantly with a hint of agitation, a wide smile upon his face. A single arm would break free of its root and hurdle over his shoulder, using the force of his own cocked back position and the strength he had put into breaking free to give his wide, overhead arc punch the kick it needed to blow apart whatever they had to throw at him, calling out as his fist scraped the cavern's top,
"TITAN'S KNUCKLE!!!"
'The Titanic', as the signature 'Titan's Knuckle' was called, would hurdle through the air with enough force to break numerous atmospheric sound barriers, breaking the literal wind with the might of the fist. Its fist alone was large enough to punch a hole clean through a good fourth of the town, and would leave a crater of completely disassembled matter (dust particles) in the wake of its impact. All that was hit with the titanic force of 'the Titanic' itself would suffer the fate of returning to dust, from whence their feeble earthly forms came and was bound together by the other forces of nature. Every particle would be ripped apart, molecule by molecule; person, object and earth alike.
