Chapter 566 - VS Ares part2 (2/2)
Although Apollo's faction is overwhelmingly powerful among the other factions within Olympus, they just couldn't simply take control of everything as there are other mythologies to watch out for. The main reason for Apollo's absence is to gather more allies that will join him for his inevitable clash with the Three Factions.
Although he has the same enemy as the Khaos Brigade, their goals were completely different, so they didn't pursue their relationship and only gave a handful of assistance. Apollo also knew that they may become enemies with them in the future after the Three Factions are out of the equation.
While dwelling on such thoughts, the situation changed between Ares and Kisuke, as the latter crashed on a floating island, partially destroying it. The dust was immediately blown away by the high winds and those who're watching saw the tattered Kisuke half-buried in the ground coughing blood.
”So it's done... Before Ares kills him, I have to interrogate him first,” Erebus intended to fly towards Kisuke but he was suddenly stopped by Morpheus, ”What are you talking about? This is far from being done.”
Erebus looked at him in confusion and saw Morpheus pointing towards Ares who was silently floating and watching Kisuke.
Once Erebus turned his attention towards Ares, Ares' majestic golden armor, including his full-face helmet, suddenly started falling apart, revealing his head with red and orange-colored hair and his face wearing a very serious, borderline enraged, expression.
However, this is not what shocked Erebus. As his armor fell off, it also revealed his bloody body full of cuts, ”H-he did that? To Ares?”
Morpheus didn't reply to him and only watched with keen interest.
Kisuke pulled himself out of the ground and dusted his already tattered Shihakusho and wiped the blood seeping from his mouth with a smile, ”As expected of a God~ I almost died there~” As his hat was already blown into oblivion after that clash, Kisuke also had to dust his hair which was now full of dirt and grime.
Ares didn't answer and only frowned. Although he was still holding back, he knows that his opponent is doing the same. He already heard the news that Kisuke used a different form to defeat Hades in an instant, 'Despite that... He already went through my armor and reached my flesh. His swordsmanship is no joke.'
After a few more seconds of silence, Ares said, ”You have my respect.”
He then suddenly threw away his greatsword and summoned a blood-red spear in his right hand and a blood-red round shield in his left hand, ”As such, I shall show you my power.”
After declaring that, Ares grunted and the golden aura around his body was suddenly mixed with a red aura. At the same time, all the wounds on his body instantly healed and his body doubled in size.
The calm fighter Kisuke was against was no more, as Ares's demeanor became wrathful.
”I see. So this is the power of the God of War that represented unbridled violence and bloodl.u.s.t,” Kisuke casually commented before releasing some of his Hollow powers inside him, letting it mix with his Shinigami powers.
After growing his hair and growing a single horn, Kisuke stared at Ares with his golden pupils and blackened sclera and said while pointing Benihime towards him, ”Let's start the second round, shall we?”

28th00: You ever wonder why shounen powerups always involve hair growing? Phis-chama is still unsupervised, but hopefully not for long! Levi-tan is supposed to show up and watch over everyone, so hopefully Phis-chama doesn't create a singularity by building in spatial dimensions above 3 for her castle to be ”Awesome.” I wonder if she would be scandalized if she knew Ares just destroyed 'The Hat'?
Goyya: She won't be able to destroy anything if it's already destroyed~
