Chapter 453 - 453: 'You’re outnumbered”

"It's been a while Kaido, I almost thought you all forgot about your old buddy, you too Diana, Crystal…" Derik said with a genuine smile on his face. It looked like a man meeting his old friends after a long while. His composure and confidence even when surrounded by six demigods was enough to make their hearts skip a beat.

'We… I…" Kaido muttered. He was left speechless by the genuine smile on their face.

Kaido wore dazzling golden armor with the face of a lion carved on the chest plates of the armor. He had a blazing red tattoo on his forehead which kept flashing from time to time and behind him was a massive orange sun following him closely. Diana on the other hand wore a blue sari with a choli top and a long skirt. On her left hand was a plain-looking gray staff but from it, Derik could feel an incredible power flowing through it. Behind her were three moons hovering behind her.

Crystal wore a silver long sleeve mage attire with a silver hood dr.a.p.ed over her head. Derik wouldn't have noticed her if not for her special aura signature and blazing white eyes within the hood. Gazing behind her Derik could see close to a thousand tiny twinkling stars bright enough to make a normal person go blind. In normal circ.u.mstances no one should be able the see crystal and even the other cosmic beings have issues seeing her appearance but Derik could see her clearly. Giving her a wink was enough to make her heart jolt in fear and panic.

Derik blatantly refused to pay any attention to the other two since he concluded that they are not worth his time. All he knew was that one controlled gravity while the other controlled the space elements. These two are the cosmic beings of Kuen and Kalos who never considered them worth their time and for that reason, they were his enemies naturally.

One had long, curly gray hair with an eye filled with darkness. The atmosphere around him was too heavy and it seems as if the space around him was been pulled down by an invisible force. The second guy had short silver hair and wore a silver robe. This man had no special features but the silver tattoos all over his body was quite eye-catching.

"You don't have to say anything old friend... I can understand why you abandoned us... I can understand why Diana abandoned Elsa!! I can not understand why you three abandoned the people who once called you family! You didn't have the balls to go against your creator like I did as the new God's did! I can understand all of it but all those who died because of your actions are yet to understand. Those who were murdered brutally are yet to understand why their best friends abandoned them! Those who fought till the very end are yet to understand why the gods they prayed to couldn't do the same! I STILL HEAR THEIR CRIES, THEIR SOULS CRY OUT FOR RETRIBUTION! FOR JUSTICE! AS THEIR GOD, THE LEAST I CAN DO IS ANSWER THEIR LAST PRAYERS! KAIDO, DIANA, CRYSTAL... I MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE... I KILLED THE ORIGINAL COSMIC BEINGS FOR YOUR SAKE... NOW FOR THE SAKE OF MY PEOPLE, I WILL DO THAT AGAIN... WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS... KEEP IT IN MIND THAT I WILL BE COMING FOR YOUR REAL BODIES AND BELIEVE ME ON THAT DAY THE BEYOND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU FROM ME!" Derik growled and his calm aura suddenly turned murderous and violent causing the cosmic beings to shiver in fear.

Derik may have remained calm when the new gods brought this up and demanded revenge, simply because he wanted to kill them himself. He could remember how much effort and dedication he and the others had put in just to defeat gods while they were at the demigod realm. To think someone whom he called friend would watch all those who looked up to him die due to fear.

Fear of what?

Fear of the Beyond!

There was no way he would let them live after this blunder that cost the lives of millions. The least he can do for them is avenge their deaths by killing all those responsible, directly or indirectly.

"Just like I said earlier, the purpose of all life is death! Death is the only absolute! I am inevitable... Death to the world! I suggest you don't hold back, there is enough of me to go round!" Derik had regained his calm but the look on his face was even more terrifying than the one he had when he growled at them.

His aura exploded from his body and soon his entire figure was hidden within a darkish green hurricane with a pair of two green glowing eyes gazing at them.

"Six against one? Hahahaha! Don't get the wrong idea... You are outnumbered!" Derik laughed loudly.

.................................

The other six new gods appeared outside the domain only to see every inhabitant of the pelgas empire, gazing at the sky with an astonished looks on their faces. Looking up, Cyrus and the others realized that there was a massive black sphere above them. With a glance, they already knew this was the product of domain materialization and it was in there and Derik was battling the beyond.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly extremely loud explosions kept resonating from the black sphere, telling everyone that the battle had begun meanwhile the new gods wore a frown on their faces when they felt five new aura signatures within the domain. Three out of them belong to their old friends and companions, vexing them even more. The thought of having Derik battle six demigod level foes alone vexed them to no end and what pissed them off even more was that Kaido, Crystal and Diana were amongst them!

"Those bastards! When I regain my true strength! I will kill them all!" Typhoon growled in anger.
