Chapter 98 - 98 War and a Godslayer

I step through the portal into the arena, where almost 20.000 people were watching me massacre five Gods.

I immediately get to Alice as she's lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from her ċhėst.

I immediately use my divinity for healing, conjuring a bright, soothing light from the palm of my hand.

As the wound is closing, I bite my own wrist and let some of my blood trickle into Alice's mouth.

As her breathing stabilizes, I look to Luna. "Apate was inside the Hunting Grounds the whole time so she didn't cast this binding spell. Did someone touch Alice?"

"Loki and Freya came to talk to her. They shook hands before the goddesses went back to their seats." Luna says as she rests Alice's head on her ŀȧp.

I look around throughout the audience until I spot Loki and Freya looking at me with smug smiles on their faces.

I teleport right in front of them and grab their throats.

"Why do you smile?" I ask Freya.

"We win." She says, managing a smirk while trying to pry my hands off her throat.

"Are you crazy? I annihilated them."

"Alice and Apate are still linked. You just healed them both." Loki says, looking up at the screen displaying Apate standing in the Hunting Grounds, alone.

'I left the Hunting Grounds... I lost.'

"Let us go. You lost, go and leave Orario for good." Freya says, still trying to pry my hand off her throat.

"You almost made me kill my own wife. Do you really think I'll just let that go?" I ask angrily as I grow taller and more buff and my body gets covered in fur as I take on my werewolf form.

"She's just a mortal. They die all the ti.." *KRGH!* I snap Freya's neck and grow large enough to eat her whole as I bite her in half and devour her entirely.

Instead of absorbing her divinities for myself, I create a large cosmic crystal and use it to store it.

"Y-You m-monster! Let me go! You can't just kill Gods and expect there to be no consequences!" Loki says fearfully as she's struggling to get free.

I lift her up as I open my mouth wide and drop her in my mouth as I start chewing. I immediately store her divinity in a crystal as well and put both crystals in my storage space.

I look at the screen still depicting Apate slowly waking up as I swipe my claws through the air and put my hand through the portal, pulling Apate out.

I waste no time and kill her before storing her divinity in another crystal.

*RUMBLE!* Suddenly the ground starts shaking as people start panicking, screaming and running around.

"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! THE DUNGEON HAS AWOKEN BECAUSE OF YOU!" A loud voice carries throughout Orario.

From the direction of the Tower of Babel, a bright golden light suddenly speeds towards the arena.

"Ouranos?" I ask, not entirely sure, since he looks much younger.

"As God of the Heavens, I preside over the divine energies that constitute the divinities of the Gods. You have stolen too much of it for me to sit by and do nothing. Your actions have thrown the heavens themselves into chaos and now you have awoken the dungeon by wantonly using your divine powers! For balance to be restored, you must die." Ouranos says before a scepter appears in a flash of light.

He slams the buŧŧ of the scepter on the ground and immediately dozens of pillars of light descend from above.

As the lights fade, I count 48 Gods surrounding me.

"You can't just kill him! They're the ones who instigated everything. They kept pushing Fenrir more and more. Their fates are of their own doing." Hephaestus says as she comes to stand by me.

"Kill them no matter the cost!" Ouranos screams.

"Luna! The bracelet!"

Understanding what I want, Luna takes the bracelet off Alice's wrist and throws it at me.

I connect to Genesis as it's hurtling towards me and in mid-air I make it transform into my Glaive.

As Genesis reaches me, I take my stance just as Ouranos' scepter is about to make full impact on top of me and I raise the blade of my Glaive as it cuts through the scepter like a hot knife through buŧŧer.

I immediately spin around, evading and parrying blasts of magic being launched at us by some of the other Gods as I swipe the blade across Ouranos' left leg, cutting it off just below the knee.

Hephaestus unseals her own Arcanum as she holds her hand out and a huge warhammer rises from a pool of fire at her feet.

Seeing their friends in trouble, Ganesha, Hecate, Njord and Miach join the fray as they unseal their Arcanums and start fighting the Gods who came down from heaven for the sole purpose of killing me.

One of the Gods closest to Luna and Alice tries to attack them as Luna is carrying Alice in her arms and turns around to shield Alice with her own body.

Before the God has the chance to attack, I teleport in front of him and cut off his head. I turn around and put my hand on Luna's back.

"Activate the evacuation protocols." I say before I teleport them back to the Familia compound.

Some of the Gods who were called upon to fight by Ouranos seem quite hesitant, among them a small girl with long twin tails and an ample bosom.

"Hestia?! What are you doing here?" Hephaestus says, recognizing her friend from her time in heaven.

"I came down because Lord Ouranos summoned us, saying he is a threat to the world and all the Gods." Hestia says, looking at Fenrir and all the carnage and mayhem around her with sadness and sorrow clear in her eyes.

Meanwhile, I continue trying to evade the continuous magic attacks being hurled at me as I skillfully parry the ones I can't avoid.

Genesis is slowly spreading across my body, forming my full suit of armor that covers every square inch of my body, even my face.

Once Genesis has covered my body, I stop evading the magic and let it all hit me.

After 20 seconds of continuous magic blasts, they cease fire and let the dust settle.

As the dust clears, my figure slowly appears, causing some commotion and confusion among the Gods.

"What?!" "How?!" "That's impossible!"

I think back to how I saw Alice with a large wound on her ċhėst and slowly let my anger flow to the forefront of my mind as my enhancement activates and my body is covered in a blue fiery energy.

"My turn!"

-----

Alice slowly regains consciousness. She looks around and recognizes the bedroom she's in.

"Why am I in the mansion?" She asks Luna who's sitting next to the bed. "I was watching.. wait, what happened to Fenris?"

"He's fighting a lot of Gods. Apparently Ouranos didn't like Fenris stealing divinities so he attacked. Fenris teleported us back here. Oh, and he also told me to activate the evacuation protocols.

I told everyone to leave for Fenris' realm, but they only put the children and non-combatants through the portal. It seems like the others won't leave, in case he needs backup."

Alice gets up out of the bed and walks over to the window. She opens the curtains and sees the Cosmic Crystal screen displaying Fenris fighting the Gods as his body is covered in a blue fire-like energy.

"Oh no, that's not good." She says as she sees Fenris slaughtering Gods by the dozen. Every slash of his Glaive causes severed limbs and heads as Fenris tanks through the Gods' attacks and savagely growls, snarls and roars.

As there's only a handful of Gods left standing, they all try to escape.

"COWARDS! Stay here and fight!" Ouranos yells as he sees his fellow Gods abandon him.

Suddenly the Gods hit an invisible wall.

"No eScApE, oNlY DeAtH!" They hear Fenris' distorted voice scream as it sounds ominous and demonic.

"NO!" Among the dozens of corpses of the Gods, Alice recognizes Hephaestus, Hecate, Ganesha and the other Gods Fenrir and she had formed a close friendship with over the years, she puts her hand over her mouth as tears stream down her face.

Suddenly Fenris stabs the lower blade of his Glaive in the ground and let's go of the weapon as he spreads his arms and covers the whole area in his aura as everything is covered in a thick, blue viscous fog.

To Ouranos' shock, he immediately devours the divinities of every God he's slain as the ones that still try to escape all drop to the floor, looking completely emaciated like mummies.

"You're a monster! An abomination!" Ouranos yells, before Fenrir focuses all his attention on him?

"YoU wAnT a MoNsTeR? FINE!" Fenris screams before his Genesis armor retreats off his body completely, revealing his nȧkėd figure.

Immediately his body starts to change as his limbs grow longer and get covered in scales and spikes. He grows a long, scaly tail and two wings sprout on his back, the first half, starting at his back, covered in pristinely white, angelic feathers, but the further from his body, the more leathery and demonic they become.

He grows two large horns from the sides of his head that act as enhancers for some of his abilities, like Telekinesis and Telepathy.

His face becomes emaciated and his eyes sink into his skull and start glowing blue lines of pure, blue divine energy spread across his body, forming patterns on his ċhėst.

If one were to look closely with a magnifying glass, they'd be able to see the lines are entirely constituted of millions of runic symbols, all perfectly lined up.

Ouranos, shocked to feel the absolutely astronomical amounts of power emanating from Fenrir's new form, seems to make peace with his fate as he takes a deep breath and prepares to at least go out fighting as he tries to prepare a magic attack, fuelled by his divine energies but finds himself unable to as Fenrir raises his right arm towards Ouranos.

"I guess this is it." Ouranos says, before Fenrir devours Ouranos' divinity for the Heavens and uses his telekinesis to pull Ouranos' body and soul apart at an atomic and sub atomic level, practically disintegrating his very essence.
