-BOOM!
"[Configuration!]" I chanted silently as I looked at the incoming horde of giants. My eyes were half focused on the two True Giants behind them, while half of the focus was on Luciana and Laplace.
They seem to be talking about something with each having a serious expression on their faces. I wish I could go and hear but for now I should trust my half-brother.
'Though he isn't faring as well as he thought he would,' I chuckled a little as I saw him jumping back in the fight, trying to go against Laplace who was simply dodging his attacks before pushing him back again.
Since my half-brother was a heaven's guardian, I won't need to worry about his life. It was rather convenient being an immortal and all. On the other hand, I should be worried about those two guys over there.
I focused on my body, as the time around me slowed down rapidly. It was a trick to increase your own body function to heighten all senses to an extreme. A trick that I learnt from Hecate and Queina.
And looking at those 'stopped' giants, I then chanted again,
"[Deconstruct!]"
The floor below each monster broke into tiny fragments, becoming near invisible to naked eyes. Then controlling them around those giants, I then chanted the final piece of my spell.
"[Reconstruct!]"
And the floor was shaped into various sharp objects, including but not limited to weapons that were pointed at those monsters, in directions they were moving towards.
"[Slice and Dice!]" And one additional spell, just in case they managed to survive through this one. Threads far stronger than the planet's life force, cut those giants aparts at least 1000s of times, before everything calmed down in front of me again.
And once that was done, I slowed the amount of divinity that I was channeling, bringing everything back to normal. This should be enough to gauge the strength of the enemy.
'Not enough for a warm up but I guess this is how this war is,' I thought as I saw that there were only six entities that were worth watching over.
The three fate weavers from our side. And Laplace and the two giants on the opposite. Everyone else was too lackluster.
'The weak are too weak. The strong are too strong, huh?' I observed as my thoughts crossed a certain person whom I thought was a bit too weak. Not only by the standard of the higher gods and the fate weavers, but even among mortals, he would be somewhere in the middle.
"How come someone like him is a fate weaver?" I mumbled as I tried looking around, wondering if he was somewhere on the battlefield as well. The monsters around me turned to dust as I stood there silently looking around for a brief moment. I was about to turn back to the True Giants again, but a voice coming from right beside me, alarmed me before I could do so.
"They look strong. I have only heard of them. Do you think you can take them on?"
The voice of the demi-human with the blood of sirens. The guy who was pretending to be a human, the 10th fate weaver who goes by the name Adam.
'When did he get here?' I thought as I didn't notice him getting behind me. Was it one of his special skills? It won't be odd considering he is a fate weaver.
"I think I can take one. Though there is something odd about them," and then another voice came from the opposite side as another guy, this time a human with mana threads floating around him, stood there as he looked at the giants.
'What?!' I was shocked. A bit confused. Because of his presence… What is going on here? There is another fate weaver apart from the original 10? No it can't be!
From the view of how this 'Adam' was able to control death energy in one thread and divinity in another, I could make that he is a fate weaver. Albeit a bit weak, he was one. Only a Fate weaver is absurd enough to bend the laws of nature.
"Then who…" and my eyes turned back to this other guy. This demi-human, whom I mistook for Adam. Who was he?
"I wasn't talking to you brother. Lord of Heaven. Do you think you can take at least one of them? Since I can't use all of my power I can hold one down for about a day or two. I was wondering if you can ask your three juniors to take the other one out after that," that demi-human, the half siren, he spoke with such calmness, even I was convinced that he could do that.
"What are you…" I wanted to ask. I wanted to question him. But then a sudden burst of energy surrounded his body. So much that it made me question if he was a hidden heaven's guardian or something? Who is he? And why had he been hiding his power for so long?
"Leader won't be happy with this. Didn't he once mention that he was going to talk to the 13 giants? He won't like this, at all," spoke Adam with an evil smile as if he was enjoying every bit of it.
"Well. I am pretty sure, he was talking about the 13th Giant and not the 13 giants. A couple of missing giants won't be a problem. Right, Lord of heaven?" And the half-siren smiled at me with a wink, probably hinting me to keep it a secret. While all I could do was to look dumbfounded as his energy only kept increasing over and over.
If given a few more minutes, he could even match my energy. Who… is he? No… who are they? I just observed the duo then walking towards the incoming horde of giants.
"Excuse me please," Adam laughed as he then clicked his finger before all those giants were cut into half, before their lifeless bodies fell on the ground. And I just couldn't understand… What exactly happened?
