Sayori stared down at the ground, her eyes glowing a green as she scanned the area within a fraction of a second.

  “Sis, I-I don’t see anything”!

  The ground began to rapidly shake, buildings began to collapse suddenly as Asami watched everything around her collapse.

  “Run”!!

  Buildings began to fall down on multiple of the A ranks.

  Then suddenly the rubble began to float to the skies, Takaba Iori was standing right beside her as the rubble shot off into the distance with one flick of his hand.

  The ground began to fall, a crack began to split, a red glow came from under as souls began to crawl out. Wispy and translucent as their faces were completely unrecognizable and distorted.

  They crawled towards anyone that was living, their mouths were like voids.

  Nerissa stared at Iori and yelled out towards him.

  “Lift me up into the sky”!!

  Nerissa stared beneath him as his legs were lifted off the ground, he stared down, everything looked so tiny now, he sighed and lifted one hand towards the army of wisps cluttered beneath him.

  “Burn”.

  A large fire released from the tip of his finger, like a large forest fire occurring right in front of him, the fire burned at thousands of degrees as much as the temperature of the sun.

  The fire washed through the souls like a flood annihilating a city in an instant, the souls were burned away into crisp and sent back into the underworld.

  “What the hell are those”!?

  The souls lingered on, ember burning their bodies like a ghostly wisp, they crawled further towards the other adventurers.

  Sayori immediately froze at the soul that held her foot in place, her entire body was shaking as the soul began to crawl further up towards her.

  “I-I can’t even feel them”…

  The souls began to fly away seemingly with a gust of wind, Zhao Haotian had merely waved his hand, causing a large wind that blew away all the rubble and souls a kilometer in front of him.

  He spoke in a calm tone, his eyes were emotionless like he was bored of all of this.

  “Physical attacks don’t affect them, don’t even use any of your attacking powers if you don’t have telekinesis”.

  He sighed.

  “I want to go back to Shanghai”.

  An amalgamation of hundreds human bodies fused into one another crawled out from the deepest parts of the crack, hundreds of faces reaching out towards them. There were three of them each one bigger than the last, even with their large size they began to run towards them at high speeds.

  One of them gripped a large building with its hundred arms throwing it directly at the adventurers.

  Nerissa’s hands lit up with a blue flame as he fired a hole through the building before it could reach anyone else.

  Debris still fell from high heights at high speeds, the adventurers stared up into the sky at the thousands of concrete blocks began to shoot towards them.

  The concrete began to stop midair as the blocks began to fire backwards directly at the amalgamation of humans.

  Zhao Haotian had lifted a single finger with his other hand still in his pocket.

  Holes appeared in the creature’s bodies, the moment they had been damaged they instantly regenerated.

  He cracked his knuckles as he began to smile at the three large creatures in front of him, each one towered over all of them as Zhao walked in alone, his hand began to glow brightly.

  “Look at this insane aura I’m exuding”.

  He stared back at the group of people behind him.

  “Ying, hand me your weapon”.

  “Sure”!!

  Her hazel eyes lit up as she threw him a large broadsword as it began to float around him mid air.

  He snapped his fingers as the broadsword slashed the air itself, causing a shockwave that knocked the monstrosities flying back.

  The broadsword flew into their stomachs slicing them into chunks of meat from the inside out within a fraction of a second.

  Their chunks of meat began to transform together and combine into their original deformed forms, their hundred arms began to manifest weapons made from energy.

  The Earth beneath began to shake as their feet began to rush towards him.

  The broadsword began to fire towards them like a bullet once more, yet this time it bounced off their skin.

  Zhao Haotian smiled.

  “You’re all adapting, aren’t you”?

  The creatures rushed towards him faster and faster.

  “Ultimate Ability, Flash Fire”.

  A large burst of fire shot out wiping out whatever was left from half the city, a large crater was left burning away at the dirt and concrete.

  Nerissa stared at his hand, his fingers were extremely red and slightly bleeding.

  Whatever was left of the amalgamation immediately was burnt to a crisp.

  “Stop wasting time, we should do this efficiently and quickly”.

  “The hell are you saying to me? You fucking Japanese, why the hell don’t you just shut up”!?

  Asami bit her lip and took off pieces of her own body, as creatures of her own began to swarm the souls, nothing that the summons could do could affect them.

  “Geez, it’s like they’re invulnerable but they can’t do much either”.

  A hand rose from beneath the crack from the deepest pit of Tartarus.

  Asami stared at the human like figure standing right in front of her, her entire body was frozen solid.

  He was tall for a human, his eyes glowed a bright blue reminiscent of the Gods, his skin was brown and his hair completely black, he wore a long coat and jeans, he had the face of a supermodel.

  Yet the power he exuded was enough to explode an elephant just by walking up to one.

  “Is this the surface? I was right to make a deal with that human, this fresh air and warm winds that is unlike hell”.

  He moved his sights onto the humans, his eyes locked onto the adventurers that sat before him, frozen at the mere sight of him.

  “Revel before my power! Even Erebus shall fall to me”!

  He stopped.

  “You’re all so silent and for what reason? This body I’m not yet properly acquainted with it, shame I left most of my power behind to maintain the dimension, but it seems like some of the souls had escaped”.

  The god pointed at Zhao.

  “Human come here”.

  “Nah, you seem like a competent enemy so I’ll give you a chance to grovel before me”!

  As he snapped his finger the ground beneath them shook, rocks began to vibrate.

  The entire city began to rise, buildings began to crumble as the sky began to get closer than before, the water began to rise too, the entire ocean shook as the water began to rise.

  “Bow before the greatest human”!

  “Human, you dare call yourself the greatest human?! When you rely solely on your strength, you have no technique, no effort”.

  “Keeper of Prosperity and Darkness, Winged Scion Of the Night, Divine Herald of Celestial Judgement, come out, Angel Michael”.

  Zhao Haotian yelled out.

  “What the hell are you doing!? Do you think I can’t beat him”!?

  “Obviously”!

  She felt a weight shift off her shoulders as her entire left arm disappeared, a void left behind.

  All of her summons bowed before the creature standing in front of her, the wolves began to howl into the sky, the hawks began to land and bow their heads, the tree like monsters began to freeze completely, the golems got on one knee.

  From a void underneath, a large figure broke the chains that held it down with a clank.

  “Heal me”!

  Satoru quickly ran up to her as he placed his hands on her missing arm as her muscles began to slowly regenerate, her bone began to reform itself as she stared at the monster standing in front of her.

  It had long lanky arms with a large upper body, its arms hanged down like wrecking balls, its red eyes glowed under the bright sun.

  Asami smiled.

  “Whoever you are, good luck”.

  The angel rushed towards the god.

  The God was connected to the whole city and below, wherever he went, the ground beneath was part of him, his energy was scattered throughout the area and that very angel stood on it.

  An angel cannot win against a God.

  Chains from beneath held down the angel by the arms.

  “All power and no substance, a beast that only fights on instinct”.

  The chains began to pull harder on the angel, the God walked up to the angel staring straight into his eyes.

  Buildings were lifted off the ground, steel strands began to hang down from them, the concrete began to condense and change into a denser object flying directly towards the God.

  The flying chain began to break through buildings, tearing them apart from the inside out.

  Zhao ran towards him at full speeds, using his psychic abilities he was able to propel himself like a spring pushing himself forwards.

  Zhao gripped his hands, as he immediately threw a punch at the God, his fist meeting his face.

  The God had stopped it with a single hand.

  “How dare you try to fool with my mind”.

  Chains wrapped around Zhao’s hands, his hand was shaking, no matter what he did, the chains didn’t budge, only shaking a tiny bit even with his telekinesis.

  Zhao’s teeth gritted, he’d finally realized, even if he knew what everyone else was thinking he wasn’t omnipotent.

  “So much potential yet you’ve wasted your abilities”.

  The God stared into his eyes, his eyes piercing in Zhao, he was completely frozen by his gaze.

  The God’s pupils pierced into his soul. Just the mere sight of him gave Zhao visions of thousands upon millions of human deaths flashing before his eyes in an instant, he dropped to his knees as his brain was instantly fried from shock.

  He dropped to his knees staring down at the floor, tears pouring out forming a puddle underneath him.

  “Your human bodies have so much potential, some of you contain even more energy than the Gods yet you waste it mindlessly and make it flashy”.

  Sayori ran towards the God, her hands glowed a bright white wisp, she surrounded her hand with an energy.

  “Lock”.

  The God stopped in his tracks, the chains dropped to the floor, as the Angel broke free from his grasp.

  Sayori closed the distance, launching an extremely fast assault of punches directly towards him.

  Asami yelled out.

  “The hell are you doing!? Run”!!

  The God stood still directly tanking the punches on his face.

  “How interesting? All you humans do is rely just on your adaptations instead of your pure energy but you’re a special case”.

  Chains flew towards her, her hands were invaded in a glowing energy pushing the chain at a 45 degree angle sliding as the chains slid past her.

  “How did you even”.

  The chains flew past her, her bright blue hair flew in the wind. The chains stopped midair, turning 180 and flying into her back, she grabbed the chain with her bare hands.

  The chains began to loosen and get softer.

  The God smiled.

  “Effort can rival talent, and you are proof of that”.

  She launched a punch directly at his face, he moved the slightest amount dodging it quickly.

  The moment she pulled her punch back, she grabbed his face and pulled him into another punch.

  “Stop playing with me”!

  He grabbed her hand before her fist met his face.

  “Your fighting style is unorthodox, this is the first time I’ve seen it, you fight like someone who is desperate yet calm, a style that uses everything they have to their fullest potential”.

  He stepped on his foot, her other leg hitting the back of his ankle, immediately paralyzing him as he fell to his knees.

  “I guess the human body really does have weaknesses after all”.

  He began to melt into an ooze hurrying behind Nerissa as the God crawled onto him, latching onto his arm.

  “Burn”!!

  His left arm lit ablaze and the ooze that latched onto it, he felt his arm begin to separate from the rest of his body.

  His entire arm was stripped to its bone, blood began to gush out.

  “Shiiittt”!!

  Nerissa began to squirm in pain as the God once more began to regain his human form, Nerissa’s arm was stuck in his mouth.

  “Heal me damn it”!!

  Nerissa yelled out for the healers that stood behind him, but they reluctantly rushed forwards and placed their hands on his missing arm.

  The God began to chew on his skin, munching on his arm like a hungry beast.

  “Damages on your soul cannot be healed, so good luck even trying”.

  Satoru rushed towards his brother’s side helping the other healers in aiding him.

  “Nerissa, how do we even keep this away from the public”?

  The God began to converse once more.

  “Is he your blood”?

  A chain rushed through Satoru piercing him through the heart, leaving him dead on the floor as Nerissa stared at his own blood and Satoru’s beginning to fuse together.

  His eyes began to dilate, his teeth clenched as he bit his lip, stopping himself from crying.

  “I’m gonna kill you”.

  “Humans become stronger when they feel endangered don’t they? Come on hurry up and get stronger”!

  Nerissa yelled out.

  “Who the hell are you”!!!?

  The god began to flaunt his own beauty.

  “Me? I’m Tartarus”.

  One thought went through Asami’s head.

  “Where the hell is Shinji”!!?
