Chapter 242: Debatable. (1/2)
Chulainn groaned and stepped back. A man with a fancy white robe, and a white cape, was walking toward them. Flavio's expression wasn't better at all.
”I will only ask this once. Who are you?” The man with shiny hair spoke coldly. Each time he took a step forward, the entire cumulonimbus would tremble, the light of the stars would blink, and the elements would bow.
”Oi, oi… this guy is stronger than Ambrogio. What the hell is going on? Isn't he just a normal Heavenly God? How can there be such a difference from our Reality?” Flavio was shocked and terrified beyond words.
”{Hey! What do we do?!}” Chulainn panicked a little and Flavio grimaced.
”{Just stand your ground for now. Our only chance is that Arima comes out of this thing. We need to distract this guy.}”
”{How?}”
”{I don't know! Just throw some bullshit!}”
Chulainn's three heads were all hurting.
”…I am Chulainn Kerberos. This guy is Flavio. We… are the Kind Demon's companions.”
”The Kind Demon?” The god raised an eyebrow. ”Kind?” His voice sounded even colder. ”Kind?! I just passed by a field of dead angels who had their wings torn apart! Who, and where is that Kind Demon you're talking about?!” He shouted and the entire realm trembled. Rumbling and loud noises echoed as if the world was tumbling down.
Flavio paled and Chulainn almost fell on the ground while vomiting blood. ”{Well, congratulations. You got his attention but now he wants to kill us.}”
”{Fuck off! How would I know? I know killing those angels would bring us misfortune…}” Chulainn retorted and faced the god. He grinned and snorted. ”You may not wish to meet him. The only fate that awaits you is death if you confront him.”
That was bluff. Pure bluff. He wasn't even sure that Arima could beat this man in these circumstances.
”Don't try to be smart with me,” the god replied. ”I am Bhiunz, God of Eternity and Truth. Don't even think about fooling me,” he scoffed then looked past Flavio and Chulainn. ”Did that murderer you call 'Kind Demon' enter the Chamber?”
There wasn't a need for a response as Bhiunz immediately got his answer from their reaction.
”Then there's no need to keep you alive.”
Flavio's eyes narrowed. ”Move!” He shouted and Chulainn could barely move his body in time as Bhiunz's punch grazed his middle-head.
”You're decent. But my attacks are eternal. They never end.”
Chulainn jumped away and released a fire breath but the god brushed it off and casually went through the fire in Flavio's direction. When he turned his back, the Hellhound saw his middle head explode. The two other heads roared and blood flowed like a fountain.
”Fuck!” Flavio made a spear hand and planted it in his stomach. His innate ability activated and his body structure changed. His arms melted and became a liquid that enveloped him like a carapace. When Bhiunz's attack touched that liquid, it was already stronger than the best mineral in the universe.
”You're an odd one.”
”Thanks… for the praise!” Flavio struggled to speak and released his 'shell'. His transformed organic-matter gathered around his left shoulder and became a giant arm. He then punched the god and sent him flying. Bhiunz went through the clouds and crashed splendidly on the surface of Heaven.
When the dust and boulders stopped falling like rain, Bhiunz stood up from the crater he had created with absolutely no scratch. He dusted his clothes and looked up.
”As I said. They're eternal.”
Flavio's cry resounded and the melted flesh he had produced broke apart. It split into many pieces before returning to their original place as normal limbs. But what Flavio ended up with was bruised arms and crushed bones.
”That's bullshit! Everything he attacks will get locked-on and be chased eternally until it's destroyed. That's what he means by 'eternal',” Flavio exclaimed as he desperately tried to heal his body. Chulainn's middle-head was slowly growing back too.
”Finish them off!” Bhiunz ordered and a swarm of angels and weaker gods teleported and surrounded them. He then ignored Chulainn and Flavio to enter the Sage's Chamber.
But when he was about to step inside, Bhiunz shivered and urgently retreated. At first, it was a simple cracking noise. But then, a spark appeared. Then a few strands of black electricity erupted around the Chamber.
Thunder raged and in the next instant, a wave of endless energy annihilated the entire Chamber and called lightning upon the land. The closest angels and gods were either vaporized or blown away.
Bhiunz covered his face for a second while blocking the energy from hurting him. But after only that short second, the scenery of Heaven had been replaced by a barren land being hit by a wave of lightning. In the middle of it, a hundred-meter-tall demon deployed his hybrid wings.
Around that demon, seven phantoms revolved and wailed. The demon's twisted smile sent shivers down everyone's spines. He raised his hand as the red and white runes on his robe glowed. White lines were painted over his scales in clear patterns.
When he waved his hand, the phantoms laughed eerily and separated.
The first one just needed to be near Heaven's forces to make them go crazy.
The second one just needed contact to put them under eternal sleep.
The third one was giving them extreme weakness by emitting ear-piercing screams.
The fourth one made them fight with one another.
The fifth one made them betray, rob, and eat each other.
The sixth one made them see illusions and whispered in their ears.
