[Helio's POV!]
"[World Magic: The Creator's Will!]"
The voice reverberated throughout the area, making our skin go cold for a moment. Our eyes looked in the direction where that son of a b- I mean, the great All Father unleashed his World Magic.
"Wasn't that fucker was the one who asked us not to show our complete powers?" I thought with an irritated look on my face, though Castellina turned at me with her eyes sighing.
"…"
"I said that out loud, didn't I?" A bit scared, I spoke as I looked at the All-Father, going all out on those Titans. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth as I nocturnal that he did not hear my words.
Seems like those True Giants were really strong for him to go all out… but that also means…
"If he is doing that. Then do we really even need to do anything?" I asked as I paused and observed the All father standing in the air before he mumbled,
"[Please… Kill Yourself]"
And then I saw all those giants present there using their hands to suffocate themselves until their energy just ran out. Some of them outstraight blasted while we observed them.
My eyes traces Laplace who was about to raise both his hands before strangling himself as well… though he then spoke out,
"[Reject!]"
Canceling the effect of the All-Father's World Magic. Of course he can do it… he is a fucking bullshit anomaly after all. To reject a magic that could potentially challenge reality itself…
"How fucking infuriating," I mumbled as I looked at him.
"Helios. Language," Castellina joined me before Hecate called out as well," well. Even though you aren't wrong, we got a public image to maintain. Even they are here."
And then two of the other 7 higher Gods appeared on the battlefield. Their eyes observed Laplace with a shocked plus terrified look.
"Verice. Alepsia. You are late," Hecate spoke as he observed them before Alepsia spoke out,"it took more time than we thought. The number was in thousands and more with a dozen of elite Giants as well."
"Though it seems like you got the main dish served with all the big powers at one place," Verice added as she looked at the True Giants in the distance. All Father still hasn't gone into battle with them and the three of them were supposedly gauging each other's strength right now.
Verice was the Goddess of Fire. One of the Higher Gods that rules over the Fire nation, which was mostly occupied with dragons now. There were human cities but the majority was dragons and half dragons as well.
"Yeah about that," Hecate sighed as he looked at all the other Giants getting wiped by the All-Father's spell on the sidelines while he focused on the True Giants. And then there was Laplce and the three weirdos similar to Luciana.
-BOOOM!!!!
And then the guy who looked exactly similar to the All-Father, fell on the ground a few meters away from us before he barely stood up again, his eyes narrowing back to Laplace.
'Totally forgot about him. He was a heaven's guardian, wasn't he?' I thought as I looked at him while Verice asked,
"Who is this weirdo? He seems oddly familiar."
"Yeah. His face makes me wanna punch at him," Alepsia added as she tried remembering where she saw his face.
And then removing the dirt from his face using a water spell, his clear face showing the exact facial features of the All Father, appeared in front of all of us.
"EEEKK!!!" Alepsia shouted before hiding behind Verice, who was curious as she observed him with a rather keen look. She slowly moved towards Castellina and asked,
"Hey Cast. Who is he? That bastard's love child or something?"
"Apparently he is a heaven's Guardian. And probably a twin brother of the All Father," Castellina answered based on the knowledge she had.
"Eh? He is not a love child? Tsk!" Verice seemed to be rather disappointed with that. Why are you disappointed with that? I wanted to ask but I felt like this was not the right time.
"You guys have enough chit chat? Get ready. Round two is going to start," and the guy in question spoke as he looked at Laplace observing us with an irritated gaze. Luciana seemed to be speaking something to him, along with that Angel preparing for something massive in the sky above.
And then a strange energy appeared in the air all around us. The air felt heavy, as it became rather difficult to stand, while out our body now felt much weaker than before. And before we could prepare for this sudden change,
"[Army of the Dead!]" Laplace chanted as he looked down at us with a mocking smile.
'This fucking spell… I remember it,' I recalled that he could create an army out of all the people he has killed. Not only that but he could improve their conditions, powers, making them much much stronger than they were before.
And given how long he has been in hiding, it was anything but good news.
"Get prepared! This just got ugly!" Hecate shouted as he chanted a huge magic, creating a giant transparent spell around us. My eyes observed the entire situation as I too prepared for another round of fight.
"Kekeke. Master has finally called out for us!" One of the beings that came out of the dark miasma spoke.
"Be respectful! You are in the presence of the master!"
"This is going to be fun!"
"Another boring day with work!"
12 Beings, also known as the 12 Inferals, one of the groups created by Laplace himself, one of his strongest army that we destroyed in the last war… appeared in front of us once again.
Each of them held a different power that boosted an aspect of their existence. To some it was magic, others were speed, strength or skills. To some it was Weapon mastery, and to some it was the power of runes and machinery.
"Hey! It's Helios! My Rival!" And one the being that I despised the most, the one that I killed last time brutally, appeared in front of me as well. A glare appeared in my eyes as I looked at him, recalling all the atrocities that he had done.
"Niera!" I muttered his name as I prepared to use at least half of my powers this time.
