#code: ultimate

[diidiidoodles]

@foodtracer and I got out hands on scans of the Elsword art book and I found so many nice outfits for Code Ultimate, so I touched up my CU Maru and mixed a bunch of stuff I liked to make her stand out a bit ;o;

Heeeeey, Mod Sei, so you know that past ask you answered about CN being frustrated about the lack of progress the gang was making. Can you please write a continuation where CN's now Ultimate and somehow meets Esencia and Sariel. What's her reaction towards their future?

“Hmm, why do I feel like I’ve seen you before? Whatever, here’s your order.“ - Mod Sei

Her eyes stared into the dark, aware of another presence before her, there was a clack, like metal meeting metal and then a glow.

Two figures stood before her. Both dressed in white, one highlighted with pink and the other with black. The gems on their foreheads, much like her own, was enough for her to gather data and come to a conclusion.

Nasods. Like her.

The first one had the air of dignity around her, coupled by the gentle smile on her face. The white dress and the soft shade of pink made her feel like she was staring at the petal of a cherry blossom. The white crown on perched on the figure’s head was more than enough to tell Ultimate of the position this particular nasod held.

The second had eyes even blanker than hers, the light had gone out in them.  The holographic crown and wings on her back glowed a soft cyan. A stark contrast to the pink that the other one had.

It was only the three of them in this void of darkness. The two before her glowing pale pink and electric cyan.

“Scanning complete,” Ultimate’s voice echoed.” Data positive, we emit the same energy,” she tilts her head.” I conclude that we are the same person.”

The first one nods, smile still in place, the display of emotions makes Ultimate surprised.” Correct, you may call me Escensia.”

The second one only looks at her with those blank, golden orbs as she speaks.” And I am called Code: Sariel.”

Ultimate straightens up, black nasod wings floating behind her back.’ Code: Ultimate.”

Sariel tilts her head at her.” Impressive, you have formulated a new code, one that enables you to get hold of the power of destruction.”

Ultimate raises an eyebrow at the sheer emptiness at Sariel’s voice, even her own voice isn’t that blank.

“ May I know what paths did you two take?” She asks, curiosity getting the best of the queen of destruction. The prospect of other hers is so intriguing, from the looks of it, they pursued different paths in order to achieve the goal they shared.

Escencia’s eyes shine but her lips remained in that small smile as she crosses her legs and levitates off the ground.

“ I put trust in my friends and pursued a new goal, to make a kindom where nasods can co-exist peacefully with everyone. I want to live together with everyone in peace.”

Her eyes were shinig softly, full of hope and confidence. Sariel suddenly speaks.

“ Impractical, it is impossible, but I suppose it’s alright, as long as it is for the sake of our race.”

Escencia’s smile fades and she looks at the winged nasod.” What decision did you make then?” She asks, raising an eyebrow.

Sariel closes her eyes and replies calmly, unnerved by the empress’ reaction.” I terminated my emotion circuit in order to install a new code. I need power to revive the nasod race.”

So that was why, Ultimate notes, the reason why Sariel seemed so blank, so empty.

She terminated her emotion circuit, the one that helps them get along with everyone.

Looking at her two alternate selves, it makes her reflect on herself. Sariel, the one who threw away her emotions for power. Escencia, the one who came closest to reviving the kingdom. Who learned emotions better along the way.

Then Escencia must be in the white, her goals and ambitions is sure to bring back the nasod kingdom.

Sariel, hard to understand. She threw away the thing that helped her get along with people, but that was so she could get stronger and be a step closer to being able to protect her people.

So she’s in between, the gray one. But where does that place her then?

She compares herself to her two counterparts, she was not a ruler like Escensia, she’s a fighter like Sariel, a battle ready nasod. But….

To rebuild the nasod kingdom she sought for greater power, but unlike Sariel she realized, she only walked a path of destruction, she was the black queen of nasods, the opposite of Escensia and Sariel.

Strangely enough, she does not feel inferior, far from that actually, she looks at her counterparts, a small smile cresting her lips.

Escensia and Sariel’s futures were clearer, more fine than hers. She does not mind it though, she is quite content with how her own future turned out.

She respects and admires her counterparts but that does not mean she wants to end up walking their path. If the queen of destruction is what she is destined to be then so be it.

She cannot lead people, but she is also not like Sariel who is merely a living weapon now. She still has her emotions, she still has moby and remy.

She chuckles quietly to herself, making Escensia and Sariel turn to her.

"Is there something funny?" Both ask unintentionally at the same time.

Ultimate only shakes her head with a smile, mentally thanking the two for helping her see her future more clearer.

She will be the queen that fights for her people instead of leading them. She may not be like her counterparts, but she is quite content with what she has right now.

And right now, that's enough.

my fun little attempt of trying a Code Ultimate concept art fit.

IMO, the concept arts (here that I'm showing as an example) could totally be used for V2 promo's for 3rd job costumes, I know it's overkill for 60 classes, but I'm curious to see v2 promo costumes for every class.

Like what if the glove for the Raven's change the arm to be a V2 variant?! it'd be like the first Non-IB glove to change the arm completely. (Not counting that one costume suit as it's associated to a suit and not just glove.)

An attempt to do a Megurine Luka, Temptation Module with CU.

I was missing some things, so had to improvise.

[lilith-devi-nyx-elsword-theorist]

Code: Antithese I assume was already done by other's as the only important gifs I needed are related to Sariel, and Ultimate.

This was an attempt to make Gumi, with my Code: Ultimate. I think I almost got it for the first time.

Will definitely keep trying in the future.
