Chapter 793 A New Ally Gained
( A few hours later )
Rudra and Omar had talked for many hours regarding various important topics and the picture was only now starting to get clear for Rudra.
Hades was significantly weaker than Lucifer and there was a lot that the god of death was not telling his commanders that was going down behind the scenes.
Hades was once an all powerful lord of hell and a genuine God blessed by one of the true god's and given divinity , Lucifer on the other hand was stealing divinity from the divine beasts to temporarily bypass the restriction of level 1000 and in his mad boosted state he took down Hades through deception and became the ruler of the underworld after an epic battle.
Now thousands of years later , when Hades experienced an untimely and unlikely resurgence due to Rudra reviving his religion and recollecting his lost divinity for him , Hades ambitioned to take his throne back and dethrone the devil , however according to Omar his strength was insufficient.
The only question that remained in Rudra's mind now was wether or not would the phoenix help him in his thirst for killing Lucifer as gaining a genuine divine beast past the level 1000 mark would greatly increase the odds of Hades eventually beating Lucifer and Rudra being able to take down the bridges to river Thames easier.
Rudra said " So tell me mighty beast king , why do you spend your time in this small temple hidden from Lucifer's eyesight , while he reigns free over the underworld? "
This was a question that hit Omar where it hurts as he said " Do you actually beleive I'll cower and hide without a purpose? "
Before Rudra could say anything he said " They called us the terrifying trio , three of the strongest phoenix's in the history of the race , born together in the same day and age to the same parents.
One ruled heaven , one ruled hell and one ruled the middle earth. Me being the eldest brother not only ruled hell , but was also named as the defacto ruler of the three realms while my brother's ruled the other two relams unde my name.
When i retired the throne fell to my middle brother however Lucifer killed him and after him to my little brother who was killed the very next month.
If it was not enough the devil Lucifer killed my son infront of my own eyes and left my back with a hideous stab wound!
I donot cower in this cave Shakuni of the elites the rage of those murders burns strong in my heart till this day.
pIn this cave i bide my time like a prisoner and train single mindedly to become stronger so that ONE DAY .... One day ..... One FINE day , I BURN THE DEVIL MYSELF "
Rudra felt his heart tremble with fear when he saw Omar this angry , terrifying flames surrounded the beast king like a raging tsunami and Rudra felt sure that someday or the other Lucifer was going to face the wrath of these flames for sure.
Swallowing his saliva , Rudra said " Then come join me , the army of death and together we shall kill Lucifer".
Omar studied Rudra and then sighed as he said " Sorry my friend , you are a valiant warrior i have no doubt , but you are not worthy to be the beast kings companion in battle , when the god's fight entire continents are turned into rubble , it's not a playground for demigods ".
It was the first time since Rudra reached tier 5 that someone had looked down on him for his strength.
Tier 5 was almost universally respected as a high achievement only a select few could ever reach however Omar did not think of it as much.
Not willing to give up Rudra said " Okay then , test me "
The beast king looked at Rudra in surprise and said " Test you? "
Rudra replied " Yes , test me , if i can reduce 30% of your Max HP in a one vs one fight , will you join my cause ?"
Omar chuckled and said " With respect, king of the elites , i am stronger than your god of death as you describe him ".
Rudra sweated heavily but then said " So ? I think i made myself clear , ofcourse i would need to fight under even circumstances, which means outside this temple ".
Omar hesitated for a bit seeing that Rudra was serious as he could not understand how a tier 5 opponent was hoping to injure him that much , as he said " Fine , i cannot risk going out for too long lest Lucifer find me but we can go out for 3 minutes exactly, if you can injure me once without dying in that time period for more than 5% of my total HP, i will join your cause ".
Rudra calculated in his mind and then replied " Alright , all the best to you ".
---------------- ( Continuation point 1 )
On the footsteps of the temple before stepping out Rudra used [ Future sight ] as he had a look into the future to understand how the fight was going to go down.
On his first attempt he used blink to teleport over Omar's head in seemingly blinding speed before Omar snapped his fingers and his entire body voluntarily combusted into a ball of flames and he died.
In his second attempt he used solar beam from long range on Omar, but the phoenix king moved incredibly fast even in his human form and dodged the attack and came upto Rudra in seemingly a single second before blasting him with a fireblast from close range and killing him.
On his third attempt Rudra used the solar beam but anticipating that Omar was going to close in on him he did a deep fake where the moment he came close to blast him ,Rudra used his left hand to Slash into his chest , however to his surprise even with such a close range and Rudra already perfecting the timing of the attack the beast king could backflip and avoid the blast before hitting him with a fireblast once more.
This time Rudra happened to survive the fire blast however when the fire around him dissipated Omar came up towards him from the sky and landed an elbow on his head killing him instantly.
Finally in his last mind battle simulation Rudra used the solar beam then slashed his sword and then used blink to circle behind Omar the moment he was about to use the fire blast to finally being able to plunge his swords into his back , but before the damage was verified the simulation timing ended.
--------------- ( future sight ends , back to reality )
Rudra faced off against Omar exactly like the simulation in his mind and this time before the fight started he used his best move [ time dilation ] from the start.
Time stream became slower for Rudra , and his attacks naturally gained 10x the strength and he got 10x the agility.
He used solar beam , however this time around he was actually able to see how Omar dodged the initial attack and was able to circle around and close in on Rudra as picking the right timing to counter , Rudra managed to slice Omar's chest just a little with the help of siege breaker in his left hand as Omar looked visibly shocked from the speed displayed by the tier 5 opponent as he backflipped to create seperation.
Rudra used blink to teleport behind him as the beast king was planning to use a flame burst as Rudra plunged both his siege breaker and grim reaper right where kidneys were supposed to be in human anatomy.
SPLASH!
CRITICAL DAMAGE -22,450,000
Due to the damage being 10X and also a 3X critical damage Rudra's initially weak damage turned into a massive hit as Omar went through with the pain to instinctively knock Rudra's head off as he turned.
BAM! Rudra was sent flying as he crashed through the rocks and the phoenix looked momentarily enraged as Rudra had stabbed him in the back just like Lucifer did and in his moment of anger it blasted Rudra with a tier 6 fire blast which turned a 5 killometer radius from Rudra's location into a Lava pit while also incinerating Rudra to ashes.
The leader of the elites was sort of dead , however when Omar saw a 16% deficit in his net HP he realised that although this human was a puny mortal not powerful enough to face and kill a god by himself , he was undoubtedly a special one that could pull his weight through if given a chance.
Hence , looking at the heavens Omar said as he removed the swords from his back " My brothers , my son , the time for your deaths to be avenged has come. The phoenix has risen from the ashes , Lucifer better prepare for his end!
Shakuni of the elites , when the Nirvana flame resurrects you , you shall have gained a new ally "
/// Note - Yes Rudra dying here means he has lost his only life to be resurrected Scot free in hell , any further deaths will mean he will lose everything. ///
