1052 Death to the Gods II
The Rebels were fewer than the Primal Pantheon. They had always been fewer. However, they had never been weaker than the Primal Pantheon. The sole reason the Rebels never beat the Primal Pantheon were the Primal. They had been the Pantheon's safe haven whenever the Rebels attacked the Pantheon.
However, something changed two decades ago. The Primordial Curse, the strongest being supporting the Rebels, disappeared. The Primal Pantheon attacked the Rebels in the isolated dimension and sealed the place to block their enemies from fleeing and requesting reinforcement.
But that was something the Rebels never wanted to do. They knew the Primordial Curse wouldn't come for their help and that there was no one left in the weave to help them. Many gods and other powerful beings may spread through the weave, but most of them chose to retain their neutral stance.
They didn't like the Primal and did not acknowledge their actions, but they weren't willing to join the Rebels either. They liked their restrained lives enough not to bother fighting for more freedom. Some were also too afraid of the Primal, knowing their power would never be comparable.
The Rebels thought differently. While they knew they would never be strong enough to defeat the Primal, they didn't give up. They chose to wait for the perfect vessel over for eons and prepared everything needed to grant the vessel the power he/she required to kill a Primal. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
That was also how the Rebels and Primal Pantheon ended up in the Supreme Human Alliance's core system. The planetary system may not have been within their plan, but the Beast God Cycle and other mechanisms had been created and perfected over thousands of years to temporarily separate a planetary system from the weave, blocking the Primal from entering and everyone within the planetary system from entering.
But before the Major Gods could exclaim in joy, Michael surprised them. The Nature Divinity gushed out of Michael explosively alongside supreme healing serum. Michael healed faster than the Major Gods had gathered their Essences to hurt him. He was back at his prime, still wielding his Pure Aether Sabers, when he disappeared. He slipped to those who'd attacked him and cut them deeply several times in quick succession. The shockwaves reverberated throughout the entire planetary system, plowing deep cuts in the surface of the surrounding planets, but Michael paid only attention to the Major Gods.
His eyes glimmered dangerously.
"I got you!"
Michael caught something in the corner of his eyes, which he took advantage of right away. Sleipnir had been fighting with one of the injured Major Gods – almost all of them had already sustained some injuries, but some of them were hit much harder from the two-decade-long fight against the Reels – and pushed him back.
When the Major God was pushed back, he spit up blood which he tried using with his Blood Authority to defeat Sleipnir with one powerful move. However, Michael was already beside him, the poisoned Extraction Aether Saber and the Death Aether Saber sticking out of the Major God's chest.
"Never leave your back unprotected," Michael said lightly, twisting the blades before ripping them sideways out of the Major God.
The Blood God released his authority to retaliate, but Michael wasn't having it. His sabers combined into a spear in a smooth motion right before the spear blade pierced through the back of the Blood God's head, shattering his skull and brain in one go.
"Did you really think that was going to work? You should have retired instead of playing with youngsters!"
