Chapter 45
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson
LAST TIME:
But then the man put his hand on her stomach and a pulse of white energy entered her womb, then he shot another and another. At three he stopped as he pulled his hand off of her belly as he did suddenly the women's back arched in his hand as a gasp for air was heard. As that happened the darkness around her shattered giving way to a beautiful sheet of light blue color that covered her body like the darkness did after it molded to her body.
Her body arched again as a bolt of lightning shot off her and began to run across the room as it melted the metal it hit. Triston being lucky as he was didn't get hit by the pure steam of lighting, but as it stopped the figure of the formed female began to sit up as the man helped her stand up from his position. As she finished standing he stood up as well as he slowly grabbed her hand as a smile could be seen on the females face as but not the male as he remained featureless. What the male had just done was revive the female and unlock her divine form as well.
What Triston was witnessing was the divine forms of two super powerful beings, one a blank and featureless black slate that gave of bright white light of pure power that was now shifting to a black light. The other a formed being down to the hair and bumps on the skin that was light blue and gave off a radiant blue light. Together one might think it was Adam and Eve others maybe think it was the coming of two complete opposites.
"I am so fucked." Triston said.
NOW:
Triston didn't have time to blink as suddenly the black being disappeared from his view. The instant he did as the space were the being used to be seemed bend. As it bent it suddenly was filled with ripping winds as the air effected from the beings movement finally hit him. The wind was so harsh it started to bend the walls opposite from the watching room. A perfect square straight across from the small room was suddenly formed as the winds all hit but that one piece of wall.
As it ended Triston was shocked at the outstanding pressure from the being caused from simply moving. All he could do was stagger back and fall on his butt as he starred at the crater on the wall opposite of the viewing room. But as he fell backwards he found that he was no longer leaning up against a door as he fell and rolled once. He just shivered in fear as he felt a wave as cold as ice wash over him.
But as he did he noticed the blue female was still there as she put her hand to her mouth and giggled at the sight. The giggle seemed to echo in the room as he was scarred shitless at the same time he felt pee trickle down his thigh. Triston the high god of sky and winds was scarred for the first time in his life. It was like the creator herself came down from the deepest reaches of space and was threatening him.
He quickly tried to get up but as he turned around he saw the sight the female was giggling at. Standing behind him was the black shade of a man. The door that was once on the room was not stuck in the opposite wall of the hallway. In the hallway there stood the man with something golden in his hand. As Triston looked closer at what he had he suddenly made out the figure and he saw himself.
There in the man's hand was Triston's soul only a think string connected his soul to his body as the man slowly reached down for the string as Triston panicked. As he did he let out a blast of wind at the man but it had no effect as the blast of 1000 mph wind seemingly bent around him as it bent the hallway wall behind him. It was like it was meeting an invisible barrier but there was not barrier instead it was simply his hand that he held up.
"Foolish god." Said the man in a emotionless demon voice as Triston drew his rapier and launched himself at the man. But right in the middle of his jump he was slammed into the ground by a massive bolt of lightning. Even in the small space of the hallway the bolt was enough to force him into the ground. All he could do was cough up golden blood as he tried to get up, only to have a foot that felt like fire step on him and force him to lay down.
"This is your end." Said a new voice that sounded like a normal voice but blessed by the sirens. In true for a second Triston forgot his current predicament and just wanted to listen to the voice more. But he quickly snapped out of it as he turned his head to see the women's other foot as he pinned him down. But before he could do anything he suddenly felt a tug on his back as he tried to see what it was.
"I see I have to cut it." Said the male as he stopped pulling on the cord connecting Triston's soul to his body. But before the god could retort he barely saw the women raise her hand and swing it like a sword. The man held out the string for her to but as Triston before his eyes saw his soul separated from his body. The instant it happened his vision blackened and his body went limp under the foot of the women.
As she stepped off his body it began to dissolve into a fine black mist as it rushed towards the black figure. The same happened with the soul as they were absorbed into him, the women's face looked intrigued by this. But the males still had no features so you couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Come let's clear this place of the other 6." Said the man as the women nodded, like a gentleman he held out his hand for the lady as she gladly accepted it. With that they disappeared in a massive gust of wind that motioned that they had moved. Leaving no sign of any bodies just simply the wrecked room and hallway.
As fast as they were moving the minor gods they found had no chance. The instant they spotted one moving at their hyper speed the man struck. With one move he separated the soul from the body as the women moved in perfect sync as she cut the cord. To the humans near the gods that fell victim to this simply saw a flash of light and the god beside or near them suddenly turned into dust and disappeared.
This place was a maze but no door was not left close, with the force behind two it was enough to blow open any door. The man led the rampage as he blew through doors and kicked off walls making them warp inward against his push off. The female simply and quietly followed behind as she simply seemed to dance through the tight turns in the halls with a gracefulness that would put a hunter to shame. He was destruction and she was peace, he was rage and she was calmness.
But they never went more than 10 feet apart from one another at their high speed chase as the gods began to flee from the building. Most never made it more than 20 feet from the rooms they were in. quickly found by the due. No god escaped as these two sped through the halls of the Other Worlder god's base. The hallways were simply a pathway for their death, by the time the 10th god feel to them alarms started to blare through the whole maze of hallways.
"All gods report to the mess hall immediately, we will be preforming an emergency mass teleport to the other base! There are two intruders in the base if you see them run." Said a voice on the intercom as Percy looked up at a loud speaker as he Thalia cut the cord of the soul on a minor god that fell victim to them.
"We can't let them escape." Said Percy but as he tried to move he felt someone grab his arm as he turned to see Thalia holding him back.
"Why are you stopping me?" He asked her in the nicest voice his demon like one could muster.
"Calm down and look at the situation we are in. You may have rescued me from death and healed my body but it is still in a fragile state. As well as making me go into my divine form is depleting my energy faster than I would like it to, any longer and I might be putting the children at risk of being absorbed to fuel my energy supply." She said as he stopped as he nodded understanding the situation.
"Then I will continue on without you and finish them, I will shadow travel you back to the mansion." He said but she stopped him again as he reached up and held his hand.
"Look at your body as well I don't think it can handle much more." She said as he looked down to find white cracks forming on his arms. He hadn't noticed that his body was falling apart from the mass of power at all.
"I understand but you must go home immediately I don't want to risk you getting hurt again. I don't care what happens to my body but these bastards must pay for what they did to you." He said as the hallway shook as the Thalia calmed him.
"Very well but you have at least 10 minutes left from the rate your body is falling apart, any time after that and I think you are going to risk losing your body parts." She said as he nodded.
"Now cover your eyes." He said as the she smirked.
"I am a god I think I can handle a little divine form light." She said but she complied anyways as she closed her eyes and transformed back into her new form. To Percy she was more beautiful than before. She still had her cocky feel to her but now she seemed more mature and simply more beautiful. She had three sets of pure white wings on her back as well as three Halos above her head.
Her face though seemed slimmer in a way and more angelic and simply perfect in Percy's mind. But on her body were the torn clothes that she was brought in, this made Percy's blood boil a little but then he looked down at her belly. Decorating the middle of her pregnant abdomen was a jagged 5 inch scar from the sword that Percy slowly reached down and traced with his black finger.
Thalia flinched at the feeling as her smaller hands wrapped around his as he traced the scar as Thalia's face showed it was still sensitive. In this form she was now at least 5 foot 10 as she had shrunk a few inches due to her true form coming to her. But still she was like a marble carving of perfection to him as he pulled back his hand as she still held on. Her skin was a perfect light tan and her scars she had sustained over the years were gone.
Her electric blue highlights were now almost white but still barely blue giving it a soft glow. To Percy it looked like she had changed drastically because he paid attention to the small stuff. While to others it simply looked like she got a radiate baby blue glow to her adding a softness that made her normal self almost more approachable. In Percy's mind she was now what he had imagine in his dream as she now had a motherly glow that she only had when Hannah was around.
"Stay safe, I better see you in 10 minutes." She said in a threatening but beautiful as he nodded as she gripped his hand one last time before he shadow traveled her away with a black flash.
"That seemed sweet." Said a voice as he turned to see a Other Worlder god in their divine form. It was a simple knight armor that covered his body as he carried a shield along with a lance.
"Come-." But he was cut off by Percy rushing him, it only took a second in Percy's view but it took an instant in the gods. In that instant Percy had rammed his fist into his chest of the god right through his armor and his shield. With a gust of wind and the sound of explosion the god blew back into a wall going right through it and two more hallways.
But in Percy's hand was the soul of the god as he reached down and ripped apart the cord making the soul screaming in pain as it dissolved and was absorbed into his body. But he knew he only had a limited time left as he looked at his arms which were cracking slowly. He realized he need to find the mess hall and end it now. So he started to shoot past the hallways and past mortals as he searched.
Any god he passed he easily decapitated them as he simply grabbed their head and their body couldn't handle the force so I separated from the body with ease. Sometimes the spine would come with the head which freaked out the people that were witnessed the suddenly decapitation of the gods. With ease Percy traversed the halls of the maze, finding all the people running on one direction as he followed them.
He didn't hurt the humans only simply the gods as he killed and decapitated them, sometimes a major god would put up a 10 second fight. But most of the time it ended with their body completely buried in 5 feet of steel or stone while their heart sat in Percy's hand as he crushed it. For 5 minutes Percy traversed the massive maze as he searched for the mess hall. Passing by hundreds of humans as he finally located his desired location.
"Looks like they were expecting me." He said as he looked at the seven minor gods in their divine forms as gods poured into the room. For some reason all the mortals were being forced to stay as they were being stopped by a barrier that was only letting in gods.
"You must wait, we have to get the gods out first them we will get you all out." Said one god with a megaphone as the soldiers were all screaming at them to open up the barrier as more gods flooded into the room.
"Let us in he is coming!" Screamed a female as she held a child in her arms that was crying. For some reason Percy noticed the Other Worlder gods didn't give off a light like he did unless they wanted to. But as he appeared people began to scream in terror as the black light he gave off unlike the Olympians didn't harm them. At the worst it gave the people a small sun burn but that was it.
"Run!" Screamed one of the humans in the crowd as Percy gently landed on the ground and began to walk forward. As he walked the ground below him cracked easily under the pressure as the humans began to part a path from him as he walked. But as he appeared in the room all sounds were silence as if a giant sound dampener was activated.
People running noticed this and stopped running as confusion came over them as Percy walked forwards towards the barrier. Gods screaming orders at one another also noticed the loss of all sound in the large main hallway as they all turned to Percy. Around him was now a completely black wave of light that appeared to make the surroundings grey. But as people began to notice he wasn't attacking the mortals they stopped running as they simply watched him approach the barrier.
"Let the silence of the darkness consume and the sound of the living light cease. Let the gods of new fall to the hand of darkness and the mortals be free of their reign." He said suddenly as his voice filled the silence in the room. As he spoke he finally reached the barrier as at least 20 gods in their divine forms were waiting for him.
"I do not have time for the likes of you minor beings, begon!" He shouted as he waved his hand as a fierce wind ripped through the area from the pressure of his wave. As it did it shattered the barrier as the force hit the gods sending them smashing into the door they closed right before Percy attacked. By this time he had at least 6 minutes left.
"Die." He said simply as black spike shot out of his hands spearing all the gods to the wall. Even with the silence surrounding them the people could almost hear the screams of the gods as the rods pierced all their hearts. But before anyone could react the spears suddenly began to dissolve and wrap around the gods as they all screamed in pain.
Once it was finished completely wrapping around their bodies they froze as they suddenly began to break into little pieces as they bodies dissolved. As they did the dust returned to Percy as suddenly more dust began to flow from the hallways towards him as well. It was the dust from the gods he killed on the way to this place that he didn't have time to absorb. It swirled around him in a black hurricane as he raised his arms and let it all be absorbed into him.
There was so much black dust people couldn't even see him anymore in the middle of the black tornado as it was absorbed into him. Slowly it dissipated as the featureless black man now seemed to give off a slightly stronger black light that people had to wince to look at him. As he lowered his arms he turned back to the people as he spoke.
"I would move if I were you." He said as he turned back towards the door and placed his hand on it as people began to scatter into the nearest hallways as he released a pulse of energy into it. With the pulse of energy it blew the large very well bolted down door off its hinges and strait into the room. But the backlash from the pulse lit up the room with a radiant energy that made people sweat from the heat of it.
"Now leave this base it is going to get messy." He said simply as he walked into the room as none of the soldiers complained as they began to flee to the stairs and elevators. As he entered the room he was met with the last of the Other Worlder gods. Percy new that these were the very last Other Worlder gods in existence other than Eternal who wasn't here.
"I am amazed you would put all your godly forces in one spot, I must thank you for that." He said as all the gods tense as the last 6 high gods were in the front as they protected the last of their godly forces.
"Don't thank us yet you still have 106 gods to go against, and the last time we checked you could barely handle 40 gods coming at you at once." Said the burly male that had stabbed Thalia, but as he spoke to Percy all Percy could do was smirk under his emotionless mask.
"I see you think you can handle me with such a tiny force, then why don't you prove it and come at me all at once." He said as his voice made the cavern quake. But as he spoke all the gods began to activate their divine forms as each one took a different type of armor and weapon all glowing a little.
"I see you are confused as why our glow takes the form of armor." Said a female as Percy nodded slowly as he quickly figured out her plan to distract him with this conversation so they could all prepare a massive attack.
"It is because we Other Worlder gods are smarter than you Greek gods and figured out that the light emitting off our bodies in divine form can be harnessed into a battle ready armor or weapons. Even our godly weapons are summoned and covered with the energy to give them a large enough boost to cut through any armor." She said as he stayed quiet.
"I will give you credit about being smarter than most Olympians that is a for sure." He said as he sword he saw an angry face of Hestia in a flame on a torch on the wall.
"But sometimes old dogs can pick up new tricks." He said as he held out his hand as suddenly three rings appeared right above his hand. One was black with a skull, one was pure white, and the last was made of a polished wood. He just reached up and plucked the white ring out of the air and put it on his finger.
"Now let's count to 10 shall we." He said as he summoned the white sword as he could see most of the gods eyes widen at the sight of the blade. But as he held it out they noticed the light emitting from his hands disappeared as the blade began to change. As the change was simple as a glowing insignia of a pair of black devil wings appeared by the side of the katana. Like when demigods get claimed and the floating one appears on above their head.
But this one was simply floating by the handle of the blade as Percy swung the blade left and right as the wings stayed on the left and right of his hand as he chuckled. In the rage of seeing the blade about 20 gods charged him right there as Percy slowly gripped the hilt with his other hand as the wings suddenly spread open. In that instant most gods felt a shiver down their spines as the man took one step and swung the blade downwards.
But in that one swing they saw what they only thought was possible in books or manga. Even for gods this level of power with one weapon was unheard of. But with that one swing he disappeared and then 20 copies of him suddenly appeared in front of the gods. Some had the katana embedded in the stomachs of the gods. Others had the heads of the gods rolling on the ground. But with one swift motion one of the clones that had just cut the head off one of his gods slowly began to sheath the blade.
With a clink of the blade being contained in its sheath suddenly massive cuts in the walls and ceiling began appearing. But then the gods noticed the cuts in the walls and ceiling were perfectly in line with the cuts and splashes that were inflicted on the gods. With a long breath the man stood up with the now sheathed Katana at his side as the white hilt stuck out of the black sheath.
"I guess having limitless knowledge on anything does have its perks." He said as the dust of the gods began to flood to him.
"Teleportation ready!" One shouted everyone in the room began to gather around one god as they all began to grab at one another.
"Oh no you don't." He said as he shot forwards just as a large portal opened up and began to consume them. As fast as Percy was he was still slow compared to the portal as it consumed the last 80 gods. But just as it consumed the last god Percy managed to lurch forward his hands and stick them on the edges of the portal.
As he stopped the closing of the portal suddenly bolts of lightning and massive waves of energy began to shoot out of the barely open gate as Percy struggled to hold it open. Though the gods were gone he was still able to use this portal to follow them. With all of his strength he began to open up the portal as he let out a roar of power as he finally forced it open just enough for him to get in. With a simple lunge forward he was gone leaving the almost destroyed base of the Other Worlders.
LINEBREAK:
At first the gods thought they were safe as they appeared in an abandoned forest. As they appeared they all began to relax as most of them fell to their butts in exhaustion of simply being around that monster of a man. This was their last base that they still had to work on a lot, but in a few days with their powers it would be fully operational.
"Thank god he didn't get us." Said one as the ones around him nodded.
"I didn't know the Olympians had a god that strong stashed away." Another said as more nodded.
"He isn't an Olympian god." Said Haze one of the high gods.
"What do you mean no gods other than the Olympians are that powerful, except the high gods." Said a female as the man sat down on the ground.
"I no they exist but simply out of the way of the main pantheons, but he is something else. It is like he is not one pantheon but at the same time he is multiple. If I had to put a finger on it I would say he is an embodiment of darkness that exists in all pantheons." He said as he heard a clapping sound as he turned his head only to have it quickly removed from his body via large club.
"I wouldn't have said it better myself." Said the very same black man that had been following them. In his hand was a completely black club that radiated power as the man stepped over the headless and now dissolving body of his 6th high god kill.
"H-." The question of one god was cut short instantly as a he was smashed into the ground so hard a crater formed under the power of the swing. As Percy lifted the club he put it on his shoulder as he stepped out of the 3 foot crater leaving the mess of a once body.
"I wouldn't run if I were you, if you do I will hunt you don't and kill you all one by one. It is smarter to attack me all at once." He said as he appeared in the middle of the group of gods as he baseball swung the club as it made the head disappear from one of the gods.
"G-Get him!" One screamed as he rushed him only to have a black spear rip out of the ground and impale him. Like the last ones it sealed him in a black case and dissolved him as all the gods were not in battle ready formation.
"He is right we all have to attack him at once. Look at his arms and legs he can't hold that form for much longer." Said the burly high god as everyone nodded as they formed a circle around him.
"No attack!" He screamed as they all charged him at once as they all came in close around him. But as they did he suddenly let go of the club as it dissipated and turned back into a ring that found its way back into his body. But this all happened so fast they didn't notice that he already had two heads in his hands as he threw them at the gods.
Soon it was an all-out godly fight that was decimating the landscape around them as they fired energy beams at him which he dodge. He was a force of nature by itself as he killed off the gods like they were flies. But the high gods could see that his body was breaking down faster as he fought the minor and major gods. Some of them decapitated by a blow from his hand, some drained of all liquid with a simple touch.
Other struck down by random explosions of air that killed them instantly as it lit the oxygen in their blood on fire as well as their air around them. Others impaled by black shadow spears straight from his palms as he dance around the circle of gods. But they could see him slowing down as he attacked, they began to notice he was taking labored breaths. Some gods even managed to start landing attacks only to be blown back by an energy beam from his skin.
Soon the last minor and major god fell to a simple neck snapping due to a punch to the face. Finally there was 5 high gods left as they were all ready for battle against this monsters of a man. But as they were in perfect health he was not down to about 10% energy and a soon fading divine form. His breaths long and large as he fell to one knee as he noticed his time had ran out as suddenly the blackness surrounding him shattered into a million pieces.
"Damn." He cursed as he was almost out of energy and he still had 5 high gods to kill. But as his featureless shell broke apart and cracked the high gods stopped and couldn't help but admire his body.
On his back were 3 sets of pure black wings, but the wings were made out of long strips of shadow that seemed to form feathers. It was like the darkness itself was creating the wings as they fell down by his side. His skin was a light tan just like the women he was with, his body though was littered with scars large and small. Small ring scars around his fingers and a massive scar on his spine that led from the base of his head to the top of his pelvis.
His hair was short spikey that gave off a thin black mist that dissipated in the air after only a inch of being away from the hair. His eye though stole the show as they were a beautiful sea green color that had a deepness that starred right into your soul. Under the gaze the 3 females in the group couldn't help but feel something inside their cores as he shakily stood up. But as they looked closer at his head they noticed very small but still there back horns nubs that barley were curving backwards.
His body was a temple of perfection, not to large and muscle while still lean but showing he was strong. On his arm was a white tattoo of angel wings which was the symbol for soulmates through the Christian demons and angels. But the high gods didn't notice that as the man stood up gasping for air as they noticed him look at them as he god into ready position.
Each high god was at full divine power mode as they readied their weapons as he raised his arms. As he did suddenly black dragon scales began to grow on his arms, as well as his nails grew long and dangerous but not disproportional to his hands as he straightened his fingers to ready them like swords. Off of them rolled black smoke instantly as well as his scales that led up to his elbow did the same. This gave his arms a deadly vibe that the high gods didn't want to go near.
"He is in no condition to fight we can take him if we work together." Said the Hector as the others nodded.
"Lynx you held Jenifer and Hailey with boosting me and Owen in attack and defense." He said as they all nodded as Percy readied himself as his wings spread slowly ready to flap at a moment's notice. Though he was low on energy he was a formable foe as far as they could tell as the readied themselves. As they began to charge their weapons suddenly shadows began to form around Percy's body.
In an instant he had the same armor he wore when he killed Yeul excluding the helmet, instead his horns on his head grew until they were a foot and a half long each. They were completely black and were thick at the base as they got thinner at the point. Both pointed backwards but were formed in a small wave like motion that made look cooler than straighter ones were. But now upon his chest was the faces of all 5 of his high god's kills as well as a few other gods.
But this armor seemed different than last time as instead of simply a chest piece, arm guards, and boots it now was sleeker and more formed to his body along with more armor to the top of his arms and legs. He now had full armor on his arms that seemed to meld into the dragon scales making it almost seem like it was a piece of the armor. Unlike on the arms the boots simply connected to a main chest piece with thin and very mobile chinks of armor that overlapped one another like house shingles.
All in all it gave him a much more medieval armor look while retaining his mobility with the armor as how light it appeared. But still Percy knew this wouldn't help much as he breathed in deeply and await for what was to happen next. In an instant Hector and Owen charged him as Percy stayed still and waited. At the same time the three females all began to use their powers to boost the two tank like people charging at Percy.
But as Percy waited suddenly something came out of the ground and tripped Hector. At the same time a blast of blood from a small pool of it surrounding Percy intercepted Owen. Percy was in udder confusion at this point as he raised an eyebrow. With the two high gods stunned for a second they didn't notice vines beginning to crawl up Lynx as she screamed out as the other two tried to help her.
But then suddenly Jenifer was hit with a spear that was going as fast as a bullet, unfortunately it didn't pierce her armor as it only dented it and made a scratch in it. But from the force of the blow it sent her flying back as the spear launched into the air twirling back to the direction it came from. Unfortunately Hailey was not sparred as a blast of fire hit her square in the chest sending her flying back as well.
"You went and started the party without us huh." Said a male's voice as Percy turned to see a man decked out in blue armor only worn by the Royal Atlantic family. As stunned as Percy was he couldn't even say the man's name as he gave a booming laugh and patted Percy on the back making him trip a little.
"Poseidon don't hurt him please, he just overused his divine form I think he is in no condition to receive any blows." Said a dark voice as Hades rose from the ground in a dark armor as he wielded a sword along with his helm as Poseidon was using his trident.
"You two are idiots." Said a familiar voice as Percy to see Athena with spear in one hand and shield in the other in plain Greek armor. She just walked over to the still laughing Poseidon as she rolled her eyes.
"Can you please stop laughing, anymore and it will harm the plants." Said a female as he sprouted out of the ground, there stood Demeter in full battle armor with a staff in one hand.
"I have to agree with Hades though don't touch him I bet his body is in extreme pain as we speak." Said a soft voice as Percy felt a soft hand placed on his head as he felt warm start to go into his body.
"H-How?" He asked as Hestia smirked.
"Thalia begged us to help you after she felt your divine form shatter, kind of a soulmate thing." She said as Percy just then notice how much pain his body was in as he fell backwards as Hestia caught him as she set him on the ground. Demeter provided a soft bed of grass for him as he armor dispelled leaved a very almost naked Percy. But none of them pain it mind as they all gathered around him.
"Just sit back and relax we can take these idiots." Said Athena as she twirled her spear as all the Olympians charged them.
