The blade of the scythe released a power toxic gas, but before it could spread around, Tellus conjured a prison of Aetherium on all sides like a sphere, imprisoning him inside in order to protect the others from that miasma of death energy, which would kill anyone who breathes it.
Tellus then slowly controlled the spherical Aetherium prison and made it slowly float in the air.
No one knows what was happening inside but it was completely silent for the spectators.
Tellus nodded with a smile, mumbling, "unless you have any primordial force, you won't be able to escape this prison, mister Apostle. For now, you can stay there and reflect on your actions. Well, I have enough action on the day I'm born. It is time for me to go back to sleep and leave the rest in master's hands."
Tellus' eyes closed momentarily, followed by a blinding flash of light and the appearance of Azzy, the lightning wolf, and the scythe in his hands.
Azzy couldn't help but raise his head to look at the floating whitish sphere in the sky and mumble, "He won't get out of it, right?"
"Unfortunately, he would, Azrael."
"Eh?"
Azzy was expecting to communicate with Tellus but instead another kind of familiar tone responded to his mumble. It's the Reaper who suddenly left without any warning.
"Chronos?" Azzy shouted aloud in his head.
The Reaper's voice echoed in his head, "You shouldn't have done that, Azrael. You have started something that you can no longer stop it. Even I will be helpless against what's to come."
"What do you mean? I won the battle," replied Azzy. He further added, with a bit of unpleasantness in his tone, "moreover, for someone who cut me off of my powers and made me almost die, you shouldn't lecture me of the choices that I made. You should be thankful of my ancestor's remnant spirit that saved me from releasing the Protos energy's core spirit and instead assisted me in defeating the enemy.
On the side note, don't you think you should offer an explanation to me?"
The Reaper made a counter argument by stating, "You are smart and been with me for years. I expected you to figure it by now that I cannot lend my powers when you face apostles or the deities, especially if it it concerns Thanatos."
"What do you mean?"
"An apostle is like the extension of the Deity. Whatever an apostle sees, the Deity sees. What would happen if Thanatos learn that I chose you as his successor? Naturally, he will do anything to prevent that and you will die.
Shutting myself with the hourglass and two of the cosmic jewels inside your mindscape was obviously the part of the plan. You have already faced a demigod. You should know how they could sense things from the mindscape. The moment he tried to sense my presence, I had to lock my presence.
The hourglass and the scythe represents me. Once you present both to an existence like an apostle, it will be like you are announcing that you are challenging Thanatos for his throne. Why else do you think that your ancestor died in the first place when his lower talented brethren managed to enter god realm and became immortals?
Using the last remaining portion of all the natural energy inside his core, he gathered it in his palm.
"Attack."
Fenrir and the Hydra charged toward their target who was also moving toward them.
"Die..."
The demigod slashed down the sword of radiance, destroying Fenrir's skeleton body in one move, which gave Hydra an opportunity to attack with all nine different elements from all sides as it stretched its heads.
The sword of radiance released a golden barrier around the demigod, blocking its attacks before he slashed it horizontally while spinning around, releasing a ring of golden divine energy.
The ring expanded in all sides and cut through the heads of the undead Hydra.
Due to its core stayed intact, as the cut off heads were returning to their places, the demigod charged forward to went past it and flew toward Azzy like lightning.
Azzy was ready and about to give the palm attack but he couldn't react in time as the sword aimed for his head.
Just as his head was about to be struck by the glowing divine sword, Azzy disappeared from there and replaced by Yashna Night, taking him by surprise.
Azzy was found more than a hundred meters away, and his eyes captured Yashna's head being pierced by the golden sword.
*Thud*
His facial expression frozen instantly in shock as the demigod retracted the sword and Yashna plopped to the ground, lying there motionlessly.
Fortunately, in the next second, the corpse turned into shadowy form and disappeared.
Yashna Night, with her real body, then reappeared right in front of Azzy with her daggers pointing out at the demigod who was probably displeased by how he was tricked by a weakling.
Followed by her actions, the floating figures, the supposedly clan leaders and the spectators, all around the stadium transformed into several women identical to that of Yashna. For a second, Azzy was entirely confused of what's going on.
It was then he felt another figure landed behind him before feeling a touch on his back, followed by the flow of a strange energy into him. His heartbeat became stable and his nerves calmed down all of a sudden.
"Hmm..."
