Chapter 676 - Memories of the Past (2/2)
Suddenly, several familiar faces emerged from the crowd, being led by a muscular old man with a long and white beard. Yeah, I know this old man and the 'family' he was behind him.
This was Zeus, accompanied by some of his siblings and children, such as Apollo, Hephaestus, and Athena.
Of course, they were all quite young-looking compared to how I remember their appearances from whenever I see them through my clone on Apollo's body. I inherited Apollo's memories, and know very well what these bastards came to do to Gaia.
A lightning strike suddenly fell from Zeus' hand as it hit Gaia. Of course, she had an enormous body and the power of a Great Goddess, such an attack from a God wouldn't be of many issues to her, however, when all of Zeus' family combined their attacks, they began to become more than just a nuisance.
It seems that they were able to generate special Divine Techniques by being together while combining their Divinities, something unique that I had a slight memory of seeing through Apollo's memories.
Such a technique was instilled inside of Apollo's memories, and it was quite useful for me, as it helped me grasp the ability to merge Auras and Souls temporarily through the transformation equipment.
Gaia was showered in constant attacks, thunderstorms, enormous spears of light, giant flaming meteors, and many other attacks befell upon her. However, her strength was overwhelming, she waved her hands as earth emerged from nothingness, enormous boulders of the size of mountains began to fall over Zeus' family.
But just as they were about to escape or dodge, the backup that made them so confident about this battle finally emerged, a being coated in a shadowy coat, its size was a bit bigger than three meters, and below the enormous coat that covered his face, legs, and hands, thousands of chains emerged one after another, directed towards Gaia.
I was feeling all of what Gaia was feeling, the frustration, the rage, the dread… I wanted to crush these bastards and prevent what they were about to do to her… but I wasn't able to, I wasn't able to change the past.
These were nothing but memories, after all.
The chains flew towards Gaia as she tried to destroy them, but they somehow resisted her strong blows and her powerful Aura, bypassing her attacks and beginning to slowly entangle her entire body.
”Aaaghhhh…! Aaaaaahhhh!”
Gaia's cry in agony tormented my mind as I felt the same pain as her, the same restraining feeling, and also the same desperation… I wanted to free her from such chains and devour the damned gods that were trying to do such a horrible thing…
It seems that my mind was being too affected by her own emotions, as I was wanting to do such a thing for someone I have not met that much…
The chains began to tightly wrap her body, as she was restrained. Gaia struggled with all of her might throwing kicks, punches, unleashing shockwaves with her Aura, and summoning countless mountain-sized boulders, and although she took many Demigods and Gods down, Zeus and his family were almost completely unfazed, smiling as they approached her.
”Divine Soul Chain Seal!” said the mysterious and hooded figure, the Great God who controlled the chains as he conjured a Divine Technique over Gaia's entire body, sealing her even further as her Divine Soul emerged from her body, shrieking in agony.
”Now!” said the figure, commanding the Zeus family as they suddenly opened their Divine Realms through small rifts in space, taking out large blades and axes, seemingly made out of premium Divine Materials, however, they were also infused with eerie energy.
These weapons, I knew what they were for…
The Zeus family flew towards Gaia, glancing at her enormous Divine Soul glowing gold and bright brown, she released strong shockwaves and boulders to defend herself, but the Great God backing the Zeus family destroyed her attacks in time, letting the family reach her soul as they smiled and began to ravage her soul through their weapons attacks.
”Soul Divide!” roared Zeus, as most of his siblings with a few exceptions, and his children began to cut Gaia's soul into pieces…
Her cry resonated through the entire battlefield as most of the gods present were paralyzed. Gaia's soul began to be pierced in half, and both halves were then sealed by the Great God using Chains.
One half was taken away by him, who saved it inside of his Divine Realm, and the other half was split into many pieces that fell from the sky like meteors, hitting Genesis and creating enormous explosions in the ground, shacking the world.
Her physical body was snatched by the Zeus Family, and that battle came to an end.
Suddenly, from within the many fragments of Gaia's soul, I glanced at the memories of the one currently here. Her memories were sealed as an after-effect of this Great God Chains, which made most of her fragments completely clueless about their past.
Geie, one of such fragments, fell into the ground and seeped into the ground for hundreds of years, even after the destruction of Genesis and the reform of the Realms.
When she woke up, she had assimilated the ground and nature around her and had become a Living Deity made entirely out of dirt, mud, and plants.
This fragment remembered her past by small fragments but was not capable of talking about it as it would bring her tremendous soul pain. Because of this, she was not able to ask for the help of her mother and roamed the Realm of Vida while slowly nourishing herself and gathering resources, up until having reached the stage of God.
But even then, it seemed to not be enough to regain her powers… and due to her bad luck, she was caught by Kheseerad's schemes and had her physical body taken away from her alongside her Divine Core, and once again sealed within a small pocket space…
Fate was very cruel.
But I changed her terrible fate, I came to her life and saved her…
I feel like I am something like a heroine now…
After having seen so many memories, I was finally brought back to reality, where I saw Geie gasping for air, her eyes suddenly gaining a glower bright gold light.
”Kireina-sama, are you okay?!” asked Agatheina.
”I am fine, Agatheina. Gaia… Are you awake?” I asked.
”I… That name… Yes… Kireina,” said Geie… or Gaia.
I gave Gaia my hand as she slowly stood up, her body was still simply her soul that took the form of a mass of mud, but her appearance became more defined now, taking the form of a beautiful and voluptuous woman with a motherly charm, her smile was gentle and her eyes shining brightly, yet I could clearly feel the deep melancholy within her atmosphere.
”I've brought you another fragment… and, well, another Gaia that might be happy to become one with you,” I said, taking out a large shield and pointing at the sky, where the Mountain Golem Gaia greeted Gaia.
”This… feeling of attachment to these two…” muttered Gaia, as her Aura expanded widely, embracing the gigantic shield and the Mountain Golem.
