Chapter 386 385: Children Of Nyx.
"Give up, Poseidon, you're no match for me," Freyja put her foot on Poseidon's chest. He was covered in his own blood, and his eyes barely opened because he got beaten up so badly. "If you're hoping your brothers to come to help you, you're mistaken," Freyja wiped the blood off her nose. "They're even struggling to survive," Freyja continued.
A loud banging sound could be heard from the distance and made the ground shake badly. Poseidon looked to his left where the sound was coming from and saw Zeus get beaten by Thor with Mjollnir and Gungnir in his hands. Athena, Artemis, and Hel were there to aid him.
"We are here not to hunt you down, Poseidon. We are here to bring you to our side," Freyja kept pressing her foot on Poseidon's chest to show her superiority over him.
Poseidon laughed as Freyja stared at him without showing any expression.
"What are you laughing at?" Freyja asked.
"I found it funny that you think you can leave this place alive," Poseidon answered.
"And you proud of it? Relying on someone else's power, lowering yourself like a slave," Freyja scoffed as she stepped on Poseidon's throat. "What makes you think Nyx will help you? Don't you realize how peaceful this place is even after knowing she's fighting Mykel?" Freyja raised her eyebrow as she tied her long dark brown hair.
The quietness made Poseidon realize that something was wrong with the whole situation. Not to mention, even though Nyx had control over the world, she didn't even bother to weaken her enemies. She should have known that he was in trouble, and Zeus as well, but she didn't do anything about it.
"Look at that face, a face of the realization that you're not even that worthy to be saved. Just a pawn that can easily be replaced," Keres said as she walked toward Poseidon. "You should know, she doesn't really need you at all because her own children are more than enough," Keres continued as she looked at the sky.
Freyja looked up and saw Thanatos and other Gods descending from the dark sky.
"Are they troublesome?" Freyja asked.
"I will be able to handle all of them myself. I know them more than anyone else," Keres plucked two of her black feathered wings and turned them into a long sword and a halberd.
"It's been a while since I saw your bloodlust, Keres. I will give you my blessing," Freyja held her [Brisingamen] and started activating it.
"You have my utmost gratitude, commander," Keres grinned in excitement as she spread her wings.
Keres flew without even making any sound, and she looked like a shadow that had moved to hide from the light. She didn't hesitate to fight her own siblings on her own, and her eyes reminded Freyja of how ruthless and merciless Keres was.
"Come and join us, Poseidon. We are not your enemy, and if you're curious why we are here, it's because Mykel wants to unite the Gods so we can change our situation as the Constellations," Freyja said as she looked at Poseidon. "I know you're furious that he made you like this, but he did that because your brother didn't want to cooperate in the first place," Freyja watched as Keres cut her siblings into pieces without hesitation.
Their conversation got interrupted when flying limbs and body parts were falling around them. They all looked up and saw Keres had defeated the Gods in just a minute, and the only one left was Thanaots with his scythe in his left hand.
"The favored child still hasn't made a move?" Keres asked as she floated in front of Thanatos. "What's wrong?" Keres asked.
Thanatos smirked as he swung his scythe around. He didn't say anything and flew toward Keres at full speed. The battle was similar to when Luciel fought with Mazikeen. Everything was flattened because of them, and everyone took their precious time watching them from the ground.
"They both are so powerful, but Thanatos is still not showing his full power. Especially, with the place we are in, he should be able to turn the tide over in an instant," Hera said since she knew what kind of power Thanatos possessed.
Thor laughed with his arms crossed while Mjollnir was resting on Zeus' chest which he couldn't remove.
"You might know Thanatos well, but I heard a lot of terrifying things about Keres from Sigrid who had been on countless battlefields with her. She's someone who feeds on the dead, and used them as her additional source of power," Thor explained as he looked at Hera. "This place is also the best place for her," Thor said with confidence.
The difference between Thanatos and Keres was in how they used the souls of the dead. Thanatos who could create an endless army with his power, he could win by using the unlimited quantity of an army. On the other hand, Keres used the dead and absorbed their power, and made it hers. Keres was the only one who could defeat Thanatos, but when they both worked together, even the Valkyries wouldn't be able to defeat them both.
"Are you sure you want to let your children in a quarrel like that, Nyx?" Mykel looked over his shoulder and watched Nyx stealthily descend behind him and Lucifer.
"I'm not here for small talk. I came here to ask you about what Lucifer said about that knowledge," Nyx said as she looked at Lucifer. "If you really don't want me to join side with her, tell me everything now," Nyx looked so serious about it.
Nyx suddenly looked up and noticed something was coming down to her world. It wasn't just her, but Mykel and the others noticed it as well.
"She's here," Mykel said as he looked up.
Mykel told everyone to leave Tartarus as soon as possible. They all left and brought Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon with them.
Keres looked at Thanatos as she threw her weapons away, and they turned into black feathers again.
"Let's continue our battle another day, brother," Keres said. She spun around and then disappeared, leaving black feathers in the air.
Mykel warped the three of them to Earth to avoid Mara, and the only place that she couldn't enter was the world of mortals.
"Where are we?" Nyx asked.
"Earth, in my office," Mykel answered as he immediately activated [World Protection] so Mara couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
"(Mykel can I come?)" Hera asked.
Mykel summoned Hera to his office, and it surprised Nyx when she saw Hera appear in the room. He then closed the curtains and locked the door so nobody could enter his office.
"What are you doing here, Hera," Nyx hated to see Hera there in the office.
"I'm here for the same reason as you, but I already know the truth," Hera answered as she sat down next to Mykel. "There's no reason for us to fight each other anymore, Nyx," Hera looked Nyx in the eye.
Lucifer sighed as he sat down next to Nyx, and it surprised her when he changed his appearance into a human. Hera then did the same, but nothing really changed about her and her appearance, only her attire. Nyx who had pale gray skin turned herself into a human body as well.
"Now tell me, what are they talking about. This truth they both were talking about," Nyx gave a stern look at Mykel.
"It's about me, who created this whole universe and the one who created the system," Mykel answered and stared back at Nyx.
Nyx raised her eyebrows and suddenly snorted as she gave a ridiculed look at Mykel. She laughed so hard as she covered her mouth with her gown sleeve while the three of them looked at her.
"How foolish can you be? You think I would believe what you said?" Nyx asked as she kept giggling to hold her laughter.
Mykel smiled as he stood up, and then he activated the [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill this time. The three of them looked at the small room turned into a pitch-black space.
"Words might not believe you, but what about looking into my memories?" Mykel asked as he projected his memories on a screen. "You're free to judge once you see and hear it yourself," Mykel looked Nyx in the eye, and then the screen turned white. "This is how I created this universe," Mykel continued as he looked at the screen.
