Chapter 602: Overwhelming Pressure (2/2)

Sure, the mighty pressure pressing them down is truly out of this world and seemingly insurmountable but such is not really the case. This was already proven by Raven since unlike them who lost all manner of movement under the pressure, Raven could still talk freely and sound like this pressure was nothing but a slight inconvenience to him. Which was of course then followed by his provocations/announcement of him being able to move two of his fingers already, which was true by the way.

If Raven, who's supposed to be weaker than them, was able to do it. Then why couldn't they?

Time went on silently like that. The team was busy on their task that they weren't really paying much attention to it.

The first to regain his arm movement was of course none other than Raven. He raised it under the gazes of his teammates so it was proven. Now he was working on regaining movement for the rest of his body.

The next one who did so was surprisingly Theo, who felt rather smug about it. It was truly unexpected considering that Theo had a weaker physique than his companions but the results never lied. He raised his right arm and even summoned a plume of fire to annoy the rest. Of course he too worked on regaining the rest of his body movement.

After that, it was followed by Charles and Henry, leaving Logan at last place.

”This is unfair! I got six arms!” He complained.

”Excuses! None of us told you to lift all of them! Only one you dumbass!” Henry snorted.

”But my physique is different from you!” He retorted.

”We can see that.” Charles stated, ”You know it too so you should have more understanding of your own body that we do yet you still couldn't do it. Now, that's on us. That's on you.”

”True.” Henry sagely nodded since apparently he could do that now.

”Well, I think it's a blessing for you to have six-arms.”

”Theo-”

”...since that would make washing the dishes six times faster! Ain't that great?”

”Hahahahahaha!”

”Grr!”

Raven just chuckled at their antics and left them alone. Logan lost and he wasn't a sore loser so he would definitely honor the bet.

For now though, they could forget about eating since they can't even move properly yet.

Time passed some more and before they knew it, a whole day passed. Raven successfully managed to regain control of his entire body under the heavy pressure. He's also the first one to take a step forward.

At first his step was a little clumsy, yet that clumsy movement completely gobsmacked the War Gods. Here they were still trying to work on the lower half of their body yet Raven already took a step forward.

It didn't take long before Raven's second step occurred, followed by the third and so on. Before they know, Raven was already walking in circles around him.

Although his face looked rather unimpressed, there's this whole annoying vibe around him saying that 'Heh, I'm better than y'all.' Which absolutely ticked off the War Gods.

This caused them to put even more effort on their side. It didn't take long before they managed to take their first step one by one.

Their progress gave them a rather satisfying feeling. No matter how simple it might seem, progress is still progress, who wouldn't feel satisfaction from that? And yes, while 'taking their first step' might sound unimpressive, considering that they did under the mighty pressure, was something to be proud about.

By the time that the War Gods managed to regain their movement and could walk around freely, Raven was already done making his preparations.

Considering that he's a step ahead of them, of course he won't just forget about his role here.

”Alright, I've set up the Formation. Get in!”
