Chapter 236: An Unexpected Occurrence
The Gods came like a vengeful tide, Ira could feel their hostility before they even arrived. But, in spite of that, he remained inside the crater with his beast-like head pointed toward the sky, eating away at his surroundings.
It took only a few moments for them to appear, various Gods with unique appearances. Some had horrific faces and others looked Angelic while a few looked like beggars. All of them, despite their differences, had come together in order to stop Ira.
Seal the space! A two-faced God shouted.
A dozen Gods split off from the approaching formation and circle around the area. They channeled their divinity and four different mirrors rose up from the ground and enclosed the city-sized crater like a dome.
Use all the Divine Curses!
Another group of Gods moved firing different curses toward Ira. The afflictions clung to his body, but it was hard to tell if they did anything.
First attack! Go!
Thousands of projectiles came raining down onto Ira. It was a beautiful display of colorful energy that couldnt be replicated in the Mortal Realm but the intention was to kill rather than amaze.
Ira was hit with massive impacts but remained on his feet while pieces of his flame-covered body broke off before quickly regenerating.
Again!
Twice as many attacks rained down with increase power, Ira was nearly blown backward and even found it hard to concentrate on his task.
Again!
The Gods were relentless, seizing the opportunity to attack the stationary enemy in front of him.
Some attacks were absorbed in his unending vacuum, but most hit him and began slowly wearing him down. If it was the Mortal Realm, the attacks of the Gods would be enough to level an entire continent and he was forced to resist that fearsome amount of power.
Again!
They werent deterred by the lack of visible damage as they noticed the black flames covering Iras body were slowly dying out meaning there was a limit to his endurance and that assumption was correct. If Ira hadnt strengthened his flames to their current level, he wouldnt last more than a few minutes under the battering of the Gods.

Enough! Iras garbled shouted echoed throughout enclosed space.
We could kill him right now!
Serves that dog right!
The Gods regained their confident demeanor and moved to surround Ira once more. The black sun floating above them even began shrinking which further increased their assurance of victory.
Kill me?! Ira growled like a feral beast, his eyes were filled with indescribable anger, even as the origin energy in his body continued running rampant.
This is your end, Avarus!
Several Gods fired off their attacks, aiming to cripple Iras ability to resist, targeting his limbs first.
Ira was sent flying back while his appendages were blasted away. The black sun that spelled the end of everything was now half of its original size and continually shrinking.
Damn it! Ira gnashed his teeth, and forced his arm to regenerate. He reached toward the sky and closed his palm in one quick motion and before any Gods could react, the fiery black sphere above them exploded.
The sudden detonation of the Void Fire was truly something to behold. Even though it had been greatly weakened, it was still a force that couldnt be properly described. The darkness filled inside shifted reality and broke space with the sound of a storm. Gods were snatched into spatial rifts or were burned by black fire. From the outside, it seemed like a tornado of black fog descended on the area causing complete annihilation of more than half of the Gods.
However, Ira couldnt maintain it and it faded after a few seconds of being summoned.
When it was all done, the origin arrow in Iras chest had crumbled into dust but a wound that failed to heal was left in its place.
I swear...I'll kill all of you. Ira climbed to his feet with a miserable appearance, his disheveled hair fell over his face, which may have been for the best as his expression was distorted in rage. His clothes were in tatters and he was still missing an arm and two legs. Black mist poured out of his missing limbs before they reformed.
A good number of Gods who had positioned them outside the radius of Iras attack, managed to survive but they were in a state of shock. After witnessing Iras ability which gave him enough time to run.
He was severely weakened from the origin arrow and exhausted from overusing his ability. It was the perfect time for the Gods to capture or kill and an opportunity that wasnt likely to come again.
Ira felt his connection with the Void was strained so he leaped away with nothing but his own strength.
The Avarus A God muttered as he watched Ira cover a great distance with each jump.
Hes...Hes weakened! A Goddess shouted frantically as she woke up from her daze.
Someone has to inform Xandes. The rest of us need to keep track of him, if we let him get away it will all be for nothing.
Just like that, several Gods split off to spread the news of Iras current state while the rest quickly pursued him, seeking to finally end everything.
