Chapter 821 I Shall Collect Your Head
"That was amusing," the deep voice of a man emerged from the haze, who then stepped forward to reveal himself to Telmus. In the right hand of the man was the stone the Telmus had just sent towards the universe.
Telmus sighed, "Tiberius, what brings you from your bloody halls into the lands of mortals?"
"It is rare that I get to save people, but not without a price of course," Tiberius answered and waved his hand, releasing the five Ancestors who should have perished when Telmus made his first move.
With a flick from his feet, he tossed the dazed Ancestors into the distance, their bodies broken from his move and bathing his legs with blood, they all left their right arm behind, and because it was Tiberius that caused this wound, they could never heal from this injury and the blood that flowed from it would go to him in perpetuity, leaving them in a state of constant agony until they perished.
Death in the hands of Telmus would have been a greater gift than the saving grace from Tiberius.
Tiberius bent down and scooped the thick blood around his legs, and he ran his hand across his bald head, rubbing the blood of the Ancestors across it, like the ancient warrior he was, as his skin drank the blood until there was nothing left, he shuddered in pleasure,
"Are you catching a glimpse of Trion these days Telmus? Why should I stay in my Hall of Blood, when I have a world filled with it? Still, lucky I was around eh, else this little empress would be floating yonder. Now tell me why you want to do something as stupid as that. We gave you a pretty good deal, no?"
Telmus began to walk towards the God of War, and he stopped beside him, "I don't answer to you, Tiberius. Do you seek to stop me?"
He waited for a short moment and walked past the God of War, his eyes already searching the horizon for his family.ViisiT n0(v)eLb(i)(n).com for the best novel reading experience
The God of War appeared a bit surprised at the moment before he sucked air through his teeth, and then he looked up and began to laugh, "You little abomination, truly, you are willing to fight me! Hahaha... this is the greatest gift you can ever give me."
Telmus stopped walking and raised both his hands and with his chains he seized a thousand stars in each hand, "I will not repeat myself, Tiberius."
"You little fucker," the God of War flung the stone containing the Empress towards Aroth and conjured a blade of bone and blood and with a cry of anger he charged at Telmus.
Tiberius growled like a rabid dog, blood and alive pouring out from his mouth like rain, "You fucking mongrel, you think because you too my arms, that you have achieved anything?! I will show you what it means to battle the God of War."
Tiberius screamed and his body exploded into a ball of blood and muscle that twisted into arcane shapes before taking the form of a red giant with eight arms and four heads.
The God of War raised all eight arms and eight bloody suns appeared overhead and transformed into eight massive melee weapons, from swords, axes, shields, and spears to a chained whip."
He slammed his hands together and his weapons shredded reality, sending out great pulses of power towards Telmus.
"I will tear you apart and feast on your liver for a million years." The voice of the God of War resounded all over Trion drawing the attention of all the gods, and every mortal of power who could understand his words carried by his Intent of Slaughter.
With the strength to shatter a thousand worlds, the God of War swung all his weapons towards Telmus, who sighed and pushed the two arms into the ground in front of him before raising his empty hands in front of him.
"Little girl if you are watching your old man right now, this is how you use your talent of absorption."
The weapons of the God of War smashed into Telmus, and there was no loud blast. He simply went still as all the energy of the blow was absorbed by Telmus's palms.
Telmus closed his hands into a fist and all the energy he had collected suddenly multiplied and was returned a million times over!
Except for a single head that was left, Tiberius's body was vaporized to a state that was smaller than atoms.
If this blow had ended here it would have been terrible enough, but from the clash with the God of War, Telmus had traced his path of power, and although he did not know where it led, he directed all those forces towards it.
It was the reason that when the consciousness of Rowan reached the Vault of Tiberius he was startled when the sea of destruction vibrated and a massive palm descended on the vault.
