Chapter 566 - VS Ares part2 (1/2)

Kisuke was blasted away by the golden shockwave, sending him far from the city.

But instead of stopping his momentum, Kisuke swung his blade, ”Nake, Benihime!”

Sending out a crimson wave of energy, Kisuke was able to stop Ares' charge and he got some more options to move. Using Flash Step, Kisuke reappeared on Ares' flank and slashed at it.

However, Ares was able to easily block him by placing his greatsword in the way. Ares turned his head towards Kisuke who was able to see his blood-red eyes through the slit in his helmet, ”You're fast, but you're not strong.”

In response, Kisuke only smiled, ”Physical strength was never my forte~”

Ares wanted to shake him off but he suddenly felt a disturbance on his other side. Using his Divine Aura, he formed a transparent golden shell around him in an instant before a large explosion occurred that engulfed his whole body.

Kisuke immediately retreated and saw Ares coming out of the smoke virtually unscathed, ”Even without using your aura, an attack of that magnitude shouldn't have any effect on you.”

”I don't want dirt touching my armor,” answered Ares nonchalantly.

”My~ Now that makes me want to draw some smiley faces on it using a permanent marker~”

Ares snorted at him in disdain, ”You should just worry about how to stay alive. It looks like defeating Hades went to your head and you suddenly invaded my glorious Faction. Killing you is the most lenient punishment I could give.”

Ares didn't let Kisuke reply as he suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of Kisuke in an instant while brandishing his greatsword, intending to cleave him in half.

Kisuke didn't move from his spot and used his own blade to deflect the greatsword to the side before returning a counterattack. Ares on the other hand, didn't panic as he materialized his golden aura in his free hand, letting it act as a shield, deflecting Kisuke's attack.

From that point on, the onlookers could only see bursts of shockwaves from their clash as they moved from one place to another at speeds that they couldn't follow.

Some Gods also arrived at the scene and let their men take care of the damaged parts of the city as they watched the ongoing clash between the two.

”Hooh~ What a surprise. He's able to keep up with Ares. And here I thought he defeated Hades through some dumb luck since he's too arrogant and always looked down on others,” A handsome young man appearing in his mid-twenties with black hair commented from the walls of Olympus.

”It's really surprising. It's been a while since a young man has managed to reach the level of Gods.” A hazy shape of a man spoke beside the young man before turning towards him, ”It's rare for you to come out. What made you come here, Erebus?”

Erebus clicked his tongue and answered with hatred, ”Of course it's because of my missing sister! She was last seen at Hades' ritual sight before it was destroyed after they trapped Kisuke Urahara in there. With her abilities and my connection with her, I know that she's not dead. My only clue would be him, who Hades declared as dead.”

Erebus turned to the hazy man and asked, ”What about you? You come out even less than anyone else, Morpheus.”

Morpheus just chuckled at his question, ”Nothing much~ I just felt Great Red's strong scent on him, so I came to see who rudely knocked on our door.”

”After all these years, your obsession with Great Red hasn't changed.”

”What would you expect~ I'm a God that represents dreams and sleep~.”

While they were talking, more and more Gods started appearing and Morpheus commented, ”Wow~ I never thought he'd gather this much attention and interest~.”

All this time, Erebus had been on guard against Morpheus more than anything the moment he appeared beside him, as he's one of the few Gods that aren't under the control of their coalition due to him being in his mysterious space for more than a century now. And due to his form which isn't in reality completely, it would be hard to plant the poison within him, making Morpheus either their enemy or potential ally, 'What a troublesome God... He probably approached me because he's gauging the situation and trying to figure out the benefits on both sides.'
