Chapter 78: This is a war.
"Ares!" Hera shouted and her voice echoed throughout the mountain.
Ares came out and to Mykel’s surprise, he saw Sasha, his daughter who had been living with Hera. She was being carried with a glowing red sword on her throat that was ready to slit her. She was trembling in fear the tears evaporated when they fell on the blade.
Mykel didn’t have a single expectation for Hera to be his ally, but to witness her treating Sasha like that made his head throb. He looked at Hera dead in his eyes and all the good memories he had with her had just disappeared in an instant.
Mykel wasn’t the only one who was furious about it, and Elena was the one who showed her anger toward Hera and Ares. The only thing they wanted to hear was Mykel’s order to kill every single one of the Greek Gods.
"(Start scanning)" Mykel said.
[Scanning...]
[Would you like to register Character [Hera] into the [Character List]?]
"(No. Don’t register a single one of them)" Mykel said as he kept staring Hera in the eye. "(I want every single one of them dead, so don’t waste your time)" Mykel continued.
[Understood]
The dark sky formed right above Olympus and unlike Thor who was only the God of Lightning, Zeus was the God of the Skies. He created fierce hurricanes that turned into tornadoes with lightning bolts that struck the ground and became one with the tornadoes.
Rozan tried to dispel all of the tornados and the lightning bolts with his skill, but it didn’t work. The reason why was because those weren’t magic, they were real natural disasters that Zeus ordered the sky with his power. It didn’t stop him from trying, and so he used his magic to disperse the tornados with Alpha’s help.
"If you make another move, she’s dead," Hera said.
Rozan looked at Hera and immediately stopped his magic and brought Alpha back to his side. He and the others wondered and were confused why Mykel hadn’t made a move yet since they were so ready to fight.
Seeing that Ares had been defeated, a woman with a spear and a shield in her hands immediately charged toward Elena. She wasn’t the only one, Hermes decided to avenge Ares as well and used his ability to travel through space. When he was right in front of Elena, he suddenly got sucked out by something.
"Sasha, close your eyes for me please," Elena said with a gentle smile as she held Hermes’ left leg.
Sasha closed her eyes and looked down, and Elena immediately slammed Hermes to the ground. She used a lot of strength so that Hermes’ body got crushed like an egg on the ground. She looked at the leg that was still hanging in her hand and got detached from Hermes’ squashed body, and then she threw the leg away.
"You have been waiting for this moment, aren’t you? And nobody can save you now," Mykel said as he tightened his grip around Hera’s neck. "There will be no warning, there only be war," Mykel continued. "Kill everyone, don’t hold back," Mykel looked over his shoulder and looked at Jeanne and the others.
All of them smiled with excitement and immediately spread out to fight the gods. Aurea spread her wings big enough to slam down dozens of gods who were floating in the air. She crushed them with her wings and then sent them down off the mountain.
Zeus blinked in toward Mykel and charged his right fist with lightning as he threw a punch at him. Mykel used Hera as a shield and she got punched right on her back and she felt the thunder’s wrath inside her body. She got thrown away and hit the rocks until she could no longer be seen. It made Zeus furious and struck Mykel with dozens of lightning bolts every second as he punched him over and over which shook the whole mountain.
The peak of the mountain was covered in dust and smoke that came from every side of the mountain. Zeus’ whole body was sparking lightning and it would burn everything to a crisp when touched his body. When the smoke became a bit thinner, he could see Mykel’s body with his torn suits that barely covered his body. But what surprised him was when he saw no wounds on Mykel’s body.
"Are you done?" Mykel asked from behind the thick smoke.
Before Zeus could react, his face got punched down to the ground and his mind went blank for a few seconds as the ground crumbled around him. He was free-falling and looked at Mykel who was right on top of him, ready to punch him in the face again. He blinked away to avoid Mykel, but as soon as he reappeared, he felt something just piercing him from the back.
A hand came out of his chest, and he could see the tattoos on the back of the hand. When he tried to grab the hand, the hand went back inside and messed up his inside, making him scream in pain as lightning bolts struck him as if the sky was grieving for him.
"You can scream as loud as you can, but nobody will save you," Mykel said. "Don’t you learn your lesson? This has been the third time, and you’re not winning this," Mykel continued and threw Zeus to the crater he had created earlier.
Suddenly, Mykel heard a loud crackling sound from the space. He looked up and saw a crack in the space, something with an overwhelming presence that could be felt from it.
"Now’s the real fight," Mykel said.
