BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140: Beauty.
"What do you mean cozy, I watched my entire universe fall apart and burn, we both did, me and my sister!!" Gabriell stood approaching Ikaris who was walking through the door.
"I sense nothing within you, most of the gods present here have no idea what it is to have subjects worship them, and you fall under that umbrella." Ikaris stood passively and raised her nose, staring as the angry goddess approached her.
"I will not apologise for anything I have said or done, the fact here is you are lesser; a mere fragment of myself who has grown conceited... and has become insecure of her own identity.
"Ikaris thats-" Dina tried interjecting but stopped when Gabriell\'s eyes flashed red and she reached out for Ikaris.
"I am limited to a percent of my power currently, but this is more than enough to put you in your place, little girl." Ikaris stared at the shorter goddess as she caught her hand and bent it as while eyes also turned crimson.
Gadriel who was far more self-aware than her arrogant younger sister stood with Arla hoping it would be resolved without violence, while Dina understood that this was necessary.
Hiarchy had to be established.
"Do not look down on me, I am just as much a part of her as you are!" Gabriell sneered, finding Ikaris\'s strength unmovable as she was completely suppressed
"I am not just a part, I am her, In name, I am Ikaris, memory of creation, memory of fragmentation, proof of existence, and a mass quantity of her power, my power!
Had I not relayed your identity to you, you would still be confused about how you came to be, about who I am, and you dare to judge and treat me as some common god?" Ikaris raised her off the ground by her hand and stared at her, eye to crimson eye.
"Hate exists in all of us, you are not exempt, what you are, Gabriell, is weak."
Ikaris released her and released a deep sigh just as the house they were inside of tremored again and the skies above howled and thundered. "To focus on you right now is a waste of time." Ikaris walked back to her seat and went completely feminine and docile as soon as she sat.
"We have an important event in the happening." She waved her hand and a massive window the size of the wall with several different points of view opened up.
"What is that power?" Gadriel asked.
"System is not a power, she is an entity, before he left, Sol have me adminstrative command so I have access to all her power and perks."
"The system was female?" Dina snapped.
[I chose to be, to better appeal to Master Vestic\'s interests.]
"Whatever the fuck that means-" Ikaris was about to go off when the window went white and the ground started shaking, but unlike the other times it continued shaking more violently until the system teleported them all outside with the couch where they witnessed the entire building collapse as a crack tore through it.
"Sol..." Ikaris stared up, even through they were so far away, they could still see a massive storm of mana tearing across the skies of Hāl.
The capital city, the palace everything vanished in an instant as Sol raised his hands and began exerting some real force, instantly putting an end to every advance against him.
*Doom
"Now it\'s gotten boring, maybe I should have tossed you all into prisms and went for the main meal from the start." Sol lowered his hand.
"How long are you going to stand there watching your foot soldiers die?" Sol stared ahead, he berely spoke but his voice echoed across the entire battleground and the burning city beneath him, but as soon as he said it he clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"What am I even saying?" Sol raised his hand again.
[Imaginary tier magic]
[Forbidden Magic]
[Taboo magic]
"Here it comes...!" Ikaris had a blush slowly growing on her face as she stared up at Hāl, causing those around her, Dina especially to go on guard as she vividly remembered the last time Ikaris had made such an expression; when Sol had beat the shit out of a god for two whole days without break.
Sol closed his eyes when the figure that stood behind Saleos and the remaining demon-god army did not respond to any of his provocations.
[You are exerting a massive amount of force, your divine mana will fall by 30%] the system warned him, but Sol only smirked as he thought of the fact that half a day of fighting had not drained a single percent of his power.
"Sacred Divine Arts..." Sol began clasping his fist, and as soon as he did a wave of white transparent mana spread from his body, travelling at the speed of light and encompassing all of Hāl in a flash and then swelling until it was touching Zola-Prime as well. "Celestial Authority."
"What is that terrifying sensation?" Arla stared at the system window which was glitching from Sol\'s mana interfering with it.
"Did you teach him something so-"
"As long as he can envision it, there is nothing he cannot do; Sol is amazing!" Ikaris was giddy with excitement and as bright-eyed as a child, snapping her fingers and causing her and everyone else to suddenly retreat several hundred thousand kilometres outside of the range of Sol\'s reach.
"He is the best!" She exclaimed again as they all got a clearer view of the great mass of divine mana that grasped the planet like a hand and began squeezing it, setting off millions of volcanic eruptions as the billions of other lifeforms began vanishing.
"The peak of evolution!" Ikaris exclaimed watching fiery cracks appear across the planet as it slowly began deforming spreading her hands as she exerted a mass of divine mana creating a spacial mana-field around her and everyone else.
"What is happening?!" Saleos shrieked in terror along with the other gods losing their fighting spirits completely when the entire planet started groaning as it was slowly being broken under pressure around them.
"... Stand at my side, Saleos." The tall entity finally spoke, and when he did Sol\'s eyes locked on him and he felt a suppressing force slam against his chest, similarly Ikaris who was staring at him slowly fell out of her stupor, with her hands still spread and her eyes wide open.
"Lord, what of us?" Another demon-god begged falling to the feet of the shrowded being.
"Insignificant." He replied, raising his long hand and casting a shield over Saleos and himself before the first wave of destruction begun. "The power that god wields feels familiar." He admitted, staring as the demon-gods outside of the barrier cried out and were swept away by a wave of raw cosmic power.
"He is incredible." Sol continued to stare, feeling a bead of sweat roll down his cheek as he stood in the safe epicentre of his own attack. "Can I truly..." He began musing, but then shook his head and slammed his fist shut with a scowl. "Of course I can, there\'s no enemy I can\'t defeat, I am the strongest!"
Hāl broke like a melon under the pressure of a thousand rubber bands, first with the continents being torn asunder, and then the seas rapidly rushing inland and covering everything, mountain ranges getting crushed and shot out of the atmosphere, it became a scene of tragedy, and amidst it Sol stared dispassionately as he farmed the souls of every living being he killed into xp.
"And then to finish it." Sol opened his palm again watching as veins popped up across his forearm before he clasped it slowly, causing a secondary hand to emerge from the other side of the planet violently thrusting into it and causing a giant fiery explosion as everything was blown asunder in a matter of seconds.
For Ikaris this was reassuring, seeing the oppressive planet responsible for the suffering of the divine get smashed brought out her joy again and she relished in the destruction, casting crimson before her as her eyes shone brightly in the middle of the day.
"Marvellous, Love, you truly are the heir to this universe -all shall bow at your feet!" She exclaimed, bringing her hands to her chest and pressing them onto herself as she felt a particularly sexual urge dominate her current emotions at the thought of Sol standing at the peak with her and everyone else at his feet.
"My, what beauty~"
