Chapter 761 - [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 43/?: Slaughtering Gods From Left And Right!
-----
The moment Thanatos decided to descend, he had charged directly at Kireina, who smugly glanced at him.
However, the reality could not be so far from what he imagined, as instead of fighting Kireina directly, an army of Gods wearing mechanical armor emerged and fought him instead!
Agatheina, Merveim, Hodhyl, Gaia, Hydros, Morpheus, Marnet, Maeralya, Levana, and many others were here!
Each God attacked Thanatos, if one were to be blown away, another one would quickly take its place, without letting Thanatos take a break at all!
Gaia emerged right after Hodhyl was sent flying due to the powerful hit from Thanatos, as she conjured dozens of mountain-sized boulders toward Thanatos, throwing them at him at a fast speed!
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!
Thanatos used its large blade, a powerful artifact of its own creation to slice off entire mountains in seconds, however, the attacks were too constant, ultimately making him have to take several of them head-on.
The God of Everlasting Darkness generated several barriers to defend himself from the attacks of Gaia, however, each of the boulders she threw came coated with the God Devour Effect generated by her own mechanical armor, breaking through Thanatos Barriers ultimately, and hitting him directly!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Nngh… Divinity Devouring! Good thing I had already prepared a technique to protect my soul against its penetrating effect!" thought Thanatos, as he quickly conjured a Divine Technique that generated a dark shadow covering the internal Primordial Essence of his very soul, which was what Divinity Devouring often targeted.
Hephaestus had used a similar technique, making him incredibly resilient against Kireina's attacks, until he had to be ultimately overwhelmed by Divine Attack of his opposite Attribute.
Thanatos shrugged off the attacks into his soul while regenerating any damage dealt with his body through his Divine Techniques, and quickly charged towards Gaia while slicing her gigantic boulder attacks!
"Whoever you, I will have no mercy!" roared Thanatos, as he charged his blade with an enormous amount of condensed Divine Shadows!
"Is that so?" asked Gaia with a bit of gracefulness, as she began to combine several Skills she had gathered through eating Divine Techniques, Monsters, and the recent Demon Gods that invaded Agatheina's Divine Realm, expanding her Divine Aura, and shaping it as gigantic titan arms, unleashing several combined Techniques and Arts!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thanatos used his enormous blade to intercept Gaia's blows as she was surprised by her strange way of fighting, which used Mortal's Skills.
However, right after he had such a thought, Agatheina emerged from behind him, raising her gigantic Scarlet Lance, which was one of her actual artifacts, charging it with her Divinity, and firing it towards Thanatos!
Flash!
BOOM!
"NNGAAH…!"
Thanatos took the enormous scarlet spear directly, not because he could not escape in time, but because Gaia used all of its abilities, entangling him with her Divine Aura and mechanical body, and taking the attack herself as well!
"What?! You… sacrificed yourself so I could take this attack!?" roared Thanatos.
"Sacrifice? I am as fine as ever," said Gaia, who had been penetrated with the gigantic God Devour-charged Scarlet Spear, even her soul was punctured, yet she seemed oddly fine!
"My soul has been fragmented and fused back while also having been merged with several mortal souls and even Kireina-sama's soul fragments, the entire nature of it is different, although I took a large amount of damage, the pain I felt was dulled, mostly because my soul has already broken before…" thought Gaia, as she felt the damage dealt which quickly began to regenerate through Kireina's special Skills infused into her armor and soul triggering immediately!
"UNNGRRAAH! LET ME GO!" roared Thanatos, hitting Gaia's head with a strong punch and then using his blade to slice her in half!
Slash!
Although, even slicing a God in half was not much of a deal, similar to how Kireina could be sliced countless times and be completely fine anyways!
Gaia flew away with her other half to recover while Agatheina rushed in towards Thanatos alongside many other Gods at her side and surrounding him.
All of them then charged their cannons and opened their cockpits, firing gigantic cannons of divinity and missiles, which all exploded at the same time over Thanatos body!
Clash!
"UNNGGOOHH…! Y-You bastards…!" roared Thanatos, as he began to harbor an immense amount of Shadows and unleashed them as an explosive shockwave around himself, impacting the Gods!
BOOM!
Thanatos forced all the Gods to fall back for a second, managing to heal himself for a split of a second, only for the Gods to combine once more, appearing as a gigantic metallic titan!
"This again!? Your measly tactics will not work against me!" roared Thanatos, as he suddenly divided his blade into two, and unleashed a constant slashing barrage of blade attacks!
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!
The combined Gods intercepted Thanatos' powerful onslaught of attacks with those of their own, combining their techniques and divine techniques into the several arms that their fusion possessed, unleashing them towards Thanatos in a loud explosion of power!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Unnggoohh… This is… impossible! They are actually overpowering me…!" thought Thanatos while gnashing his monstrous mandibles below his dark armor as his crimson eyes suddenly flashed with an eerie light, unleashing two laser attacks at the same time!
Flash! Flash!
The Gods combined their power, forming a beautiful and iridescent Divine Aura that combined all of their Divinities into one, impacting it against Thanatos powerful blade onslaught!
BOOM!
Another catastrophic explosion unfolded, Kireina began to imagine that the Ragnarök must have been like this but multiplied hundreds of times!
"Graaarrrggh…!"
Thanatos cried in pain, as he was sent flying to the ground!
His entire body was falling into pieces, even with his soul with small wounds, his physical body ended up taking most of the burden, his red flesh and muscles could be seen beneath the exoskeleton, as Kireina noticed that Thanatos was some kind of spider-like creature in the shape of a human.
As these battles unfolded, Kireina was not simply sitting there and observing the chaos unfold, as several Gods immediately targeted her!
Kireina had already opened rifts in space where her family and subordinates emerged to assist her, with most of her wives at her side and her children with her true body clone, she set into an all-you-can-eat God buffet!
Aside from Oculus, the Demon God of One Hundred Cursed Eyes, Kinesis, the Demon God of Brains and Telepathy, Jozrath the Demon God of Brutish Savagery, Milmeloth the Demon God of Rotting Flesh, Primidone, the Demon Demigoddess of Deceiving Beauty Varilok, the Demon Demigoddess of Phantom Bones, and Drostranith, the Demon Demigod of Burning Desires, there were around 11 more Demon Demigods spread all over the battlefield, some already fighting and being defeated by his allies!
"There she is, kill her! I will use my inscriptions to curse your soul!" roared a giant floating book, seemingly old and tattered, and covered in some kind of flesh-like substance covered in eyes, its pages told forbidden inscriptions of old and countless of curses, Inscriptus, the Demon Demigod of Accursed Inscriptions.
"Not before I send her inside of my book so she can never come back to reality! Then, I will take over her body, buhahaha!" laughed a gigantic grimoire, similar to Inscriptus but even more grotesque and monstrous, with black pages and several jewels covering its body, Grimaridon, the Demon Demigod of Cursed Grimoires.
"I shall instill the deepest fears into your soul!" laughed a beast made of darkness and crimson mist, resembling a large lizard with a mouth filled with razor-sharp fangs and possessing enormous claws, Creepfarath, the Demon Demigod of Creeping Fear.
"Everyone, let's get together!" said Kireina as the accessories around her body began to shine!
"Yes, Mastaaa!" said Rimuru.
"Sure thing!" said Brontes.
"Let's finally end this!" said Nesiphae.
"Together… as one!" said Zehe.
"Let's do this!" said Gaby.
Kireina called her wives, as they underwent fusion immediately, flying and gathering into a single place as if they were escaping from the Demigods, making them follow them even more vigorously!
Flash!
The three Demon Demigods that charged towards them were immediately startled by the blinding brilliance of their fusion!
"Ungaaah…! W-What is that?!" cried Inscriptus.
"They are fusing! Just like Thanatos-sama told us that they would! Charge your attacks before they can finish fusing!" said Grimaridon.
"This light… it hurts me!" cried Creepfarath, as it tried to cover itself from the bright light, lowering its guard!
"You idiot, ready your attacks!" cried Inscriptus, as suddenly, a gigantic and monstrous tentacle covered in jaws, razor-sharp teeth, eyes, tongues, and countless layers of metallic scales caught Creepfarath in a mere instant!
"Eh?!"
CRUNCH!
"Unngggyaaaaaaaaahhhh…!"
The cry of agony of a Demon Demigod, a being who had lived for thousands of years and that had gone through many hardships to achieve its level of power could be heard across the battlefield, devoured like a snack by a mere mortal that was not even a year of age!
"CREEPFARATH!" cried Inscriptus as he saw his ally be eaten in a mere instant!
Grimaridon and Inscriptus quickly flew a few meters away from the bright light, as it finally dissipated, revealing an enormous metallic titan covered in monstrous jaws and tentacles, possessing eight arms, each one wielding a weapon, a large tail, enormous wings, sharp claws, and five heads!
"That's… are those just mortals merged together?!" cried Inscriptus.
"And it just ate Creepfarath in one bite!" said Grimaridon.
"Crunch, crunch… Hm, that wasn't even a sizable meal at this point," said Kireina and her wives at the same time, unified as a single being, they put their several eyes into the two Demon Demigods in front of them!
"R-Run!" cried Inscriptus, as he unleashed a few Divine Techniques in the form of giant letters that exploded into black smoke, which could inflict several curses at the same time randomly.
"We can't possibly win against… that thing! Look at its Divinity, Thanatos is insane if he thinks that we will fight that for him!" cried Grimaridon, unleashing several paper projectiles that tried to slow down Kireina's charge while exploding and causing a strange illusion-like effect.
However, Kireina simply followed them from behind, using a speed that should clearly not belong to her enormous body!
"No matter how fast you run, your fate is already decided!" said Kireina and her wives voices merged as one, as they released their enormous tails, shaped as gigantic claws and nearing the two Demon Demigods with them in an instant!
Flash! Flash!
"UNGAAAH…! GRAAH…!""
"UNNGGGHH…! LET ME GO!"
Inscriptus and Grimaridon roared in anger and fear, unleashing their respective attacking Divine Techniques but to no avail, Kireina seemed completely immune to them!
Although technically, she was not immune, but her entire body was like an enormous stomach, and coated constantly in God Devour, to the point that small Demigod or lower-level Divine Techniques were simply eaten by her at this point!
"Don't worry, I will make sure to not make this quick, so you can agonize while being eaten alive to your heart's content!" laughed Kireina, as she devoured the two Gods through her tails, crushing and slicing them into tiny pieces thousands of times while being alive within her millions of jaws, the Demigods underwent such a tremendous agony that their cries generated shockwaves of how loud they were!
"UNNGGGYAAAAAA…! MAKE IT STOOOOOPPP… NGGUUGEEHEEHEGHGHHH…!"
"NNGGGUUGGGGAAAAHHH… GGNNAAAAAHAHHFFFGGGGHH…!"
"Hmm~ Music to my hears!" laughed Kireina, eating three Demon Demigods in just a minute!
The other Demon God glanced at her with tremendous fear!
As Kireina devoured the three Demigods, she felt a nice surge of power and an even nicer Experience Points quantity!
However, not enough!
For some reason, she could feel it!
In this battle, she would finally achieve it!
Max level!
A bit more… just a bit more!
She needed to devour more, to kill, to slaughter these bastards that had dared to attack her Empire!
She would not be satisfied until every single one of the Demon Gods was slaughtered!
Her five heads smiled creepily, making every other Demon God tremble in fear!
Even those strong and close to Thanatos seemed to have lost a lot of their spirit…
