Chapter 1049 Death to the Supreme Human Alliance
Michael speared a few Demi Gods after weakening them with Basilisk's Petrification and Vision of the Dead. The two techniques took our more than two dozen enemies and weakened an even greater batch of powerhouses.
They tried blocking his attacks and weakening Michael, but the difference in power was too great. That was the difference between someone with multiple Divinities, which were all on par with the Divinities of Major Gods, if not stronger after Godly Faith augmented everything related to Michael.
Michael tapped the space underneath him lightly, creating a small platform which he kicked to vanish into thin air. His hands transformed into Aether Claws, which cut through the chests and throats of three Demi Gods before they could react. Michael used Slipstream once and appeared on the other side of the plateau where the Aether Claws pierced through the throats of two more Demi Gods. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He unleashed a fury of fireballs through space and shot countless earth spikes through the massive plateau. Michael allowed some Demi Gods to hit him afterward to test his defenses and the River of Vigor's power at 10-Star, but the Demi Gods were too weak to penetrate his skin. One of them tried piercing his eye, but even his eyeballs were too sturdy to be pierced. That part surprised Michael a little. He expected his eyeballs to be too soft to repel the spear thrust of a Demi God. The spear blade had been sharp enough to cut through almost everything except Michael's body.
Beast Halo at 10-Star was also very interesting to use. He conjured the Halos of the Beast God Curses and added the Red Dragon, Sun Demos, and the Elemental Empress as well. Even though his tamed monsters weren't nearby, Michael could summon Beast Halos of them. The Beast Halos were much stronger than expected. The combined power of Sun Demos and Zeroa's Halos was enough to fight one Demi God head-on and defeat him all while the Red Dragon fought multiple Demi Gods.
The God Curses' Halos were even more terrifying. Their combat prowess was terrific, dealing tremendous damage to dozens of Demi Gods, whom Michael could kill easily. Everyone was distracted by the sudden appearance of three God Curses, a massive red dragon, and two more pseudo-mythical creatures.
Michael used Beast Halo a second time when the duration had worn off the first time, but he applied Perfect Enhancement, which was what Greater Enhancement evolved into as it reached 10-Star on Beast Halo. Unlimited Enhancement would have pushed the Beast Halos to an even higher level, but Michael was not in a rush. On the contrary, he was waiting patiently, hoping a few Demi Gods would survive long enough to witness the death of the Hyuman ancestors who had attained godhood eons ago.
Unfortunately, the Demi Gods died too quickly. Michael gave his utmost to hold back and participate as little as possible in the battle without getting found out, but that turned out far more difficult than expected. Still, almost 38 Demi Gods survived when a bunch of bloody hoodlums appeared to rescue their descendants and the entire Supreme Human Alliance.
"You guys look like you have been escaping death for a while now," Michael joked, looking at the handful of gods, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. However, that wasn't the case. All they did was appear at the border of the planetary system through a Godly Artifact and rush over to them.
To everyone else, it looked like they appeared out of thin air, but Michael saw through their moves. He was far from impressed. Their speed was low, and the things he saw through True Vision were a great disappointment. "Shut up, laggard!" One of them bellowed, but he coughed up blood a moment later.
Michael raised an eyebrow and looked at the Demi Gods while pointing at their gods, "So…these idiots are your rescue squad? The emergency line if something goes wrong in the Supreme Human Alliance? That's funny."
The gods looked funny. Their hair was disheveled and their once-pristine clothes – or what Michael presumed to have once been pristine – was now torn and dirty. None of the gods was unscathed either. Each and everyone had sustained several deep cuts, with one missing an arm and another one missing an eye and an ear.
They looked like they had been beaten black and blue.
"If I had known y'all have been partying with someone else, I wouldn't have waited this long," Michael snickered, ignoring the anger on the gods' faces. Their expression distorted as Michael's Essence erupted. "Run!!" One of the gods shouted at the Demi Gods, but it was already too late.
The color drained from the Demi Gods' faces as the sensation of imminent death washed over them. It wasn't overwhelming at first but intensified the moment their ancestors shouted for them.
The world around the Demi Gods turned black, just like their veins. Their skin turned deadly white, and not even a full second passed before Michael's Death Essence drained their life. Their eyeballs popped open, and it wasn't long before their desperate screams resounded.
At last, their throats exploded, releasing a gooey mass into the wide-open space.
"That was fun," Michael commented lightly, his head flicking to the gods.
"Who's next?" He asked, but instead of waiting for a reaction from the gods, Michael moved first.
He slipped behind the god he considered to be the most hot-tempered via Slipstream and created a spear from Pure Aether. Michael used Foundation Break for the first time in two decades and activated the Serpent Seals – a handful – at the same time. Both moves might be a little bit over the top against a mere god, but to demonstrate his power, Michael had to show them what he was capable of.
He thrust the spear through the back of the god's head before he could turn around. The thrust was quick and deadly, killing the god on the spot.
"Pure Aether is truly powerful," Michael commented while releasing his energy into the surrounding space to collect the corpses of all Demi Gods and the dead god.
He smiled gently at the remaining gods.
"Sorry about your friend, but he deserved it. Just like every single one of you."
Michael disappeared again, but instead of reappearing behind anyone, Michael increased the distance to the gods. He tilted his head and looked around. The gods were about to attack when they noticed the tension revolving around Michael. His head flicked left and right, and his victorious smile was replaced by confusion.
A middle-aged man appeared next to Michael with a faint smile. He was covered in bruises and deep gashes – a portion of his leg was missing as well. "Looks like someone beat the living shit out of you," Michael commented, retrieving a fraction of the supreme healing serum he had accumulated in the last two decades.
The man, Major God if one wanted to call him as such, smiled thankfully at Michael before turning to the other newcomers.
"The last decade was a little harsh on us. But it's a good thing the Primal Pantheon is better with words than their fists." Loki joked in return as the wounds all over his body mended. He was healing at a ridiculous pace thanks to River of Vigor.
Michael turned around and saw many unfamiliar faces but also some he'd gotten to know. Using Mind Reader, Michael knew instantly how to differentiate friend from foe. With that in mind, Michael used Slipstream to open a few portals through which he lead more supreme healing serum. The portals led to the Rebels, who were glad about Michael's powerful healing ability.
"I consider this a gift. You brought a bunch of presents to me," Michael said lightly. He shrugged and glanced at the gods of the Primal Pantheon, "Enough dolls to test my powers on!"
