Smoke filled the site of the explosion, and much was obscured from the vision of the Silver Wolves. Aegeus's red eyes stared keenly into the smoke shield, eagerly waiting for it all to clear. It was unknown if it was due to the absence of the prior threat or finally reaching the time limit, but his Berserk state was fading. His red aura had disappeared, and the red in his eyes gradually disappeared as the smoke cleared, and Aegeus fell to his knees."Is it over?" Aegeus wondered. He was not in the best state, and it was unlikely that he would be of any help if the fight was not over. He had overtaxed himself, and using the potion had drawn out reserves that he didn't even know he had. It could take him months to restore himself to his former state."No! Get out of the place now!" Aegeus suddenly heard Abe's loud voice in his head. He had no idea how Aegeus was able to read his thoughts when he wasn't connected to them, but that didn't matter currently. His friend sounded panicked, and
Abe felt his power grow turbulent within him. There were threats that stimulated the latent potential of man, and there were those that caused the heart of a man to be filled with such turbulence that even the mind was forced into overdrive. Abe's situation was the latter. His mind became much clearer, and his strength as a Scholar grew. He felt the shackles on his spirit dissipate into thin air, and his power started to climb to the peak."Interesting," the True Goddess had a look of surprise on her face. While she shouldn't be able to sense Abe's condition due to his identity as a Scholar, his current lack of control over his growing strength had exposed him somewhat."To think that he would grow in such a situation. Alas, it matters little. It would take several hours for him to break through, and even then, it will do nothing to reverse his current predicament." The True Goddess swiftly dissected Abe's change. While the young man was experiencing a rapid expansion of his mind's

"Is everyone okay?" Abe asked telepathically. With his extremely acute senses he was able to discern that John had come to his brother's aid. Nevertheless , the size of the explosion was such that Abe was worried that Jake may have been injured. Although the boy's breathing and aura were normal, that wasn't enough of a factor to rule out injury; for at their level they could easily suppress injuries in order not to show any weakness to the opposition."Fine here""Fine here"Abe silently breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing both brothers confirm that they were fine. His anxious heart was calmed and peace was returned to his soul. However, he didn't get to rejoice for long. There was someone here who was after his life, and her pursuit hadn't ended just because he had lost sight of what was most important right now: survival!"This is the wrong time to be worrying about others," came the True Goddess's calm voice. Abe's expression grew pale as his eyes went wide. A powerful aura eru
Although Frederick's words were scalding and his aura was powerful, the True Goddess smirked with derision when she heard his words. She looked at him with a gaze that questioned his sanity while asking,"Where is it that mortals get their confidence from?"The light in the eyes of Frederick's armoured giant flashed coldly as he spurred it to move.*Rumble*With a loud roar Frederick leapt towards the True Goddess. His large sword was raised high ominously, and any man would have been terrified by the sight. Unfortunately, the one he faced was no man. This was a Goddess who had been alive since the inception of the True Universe. Fear was an emotion she hadn't felt in ages.The True Goddess regarded the approaching Frederick coolly. Her aura was as stable as rock, and her steely gaze told of her calm in this situation."Foolish," the True Goddess parted her lips and declared. She didn't retreat, neither did she take a single step back. If her servant was not one to retreat, then she w
In the skies of Zandor, concealed by the clouds so blue, was a small star shaped satellite. The satellite floated freely through several clouds, it's form appearing and disappearing between the fluffy wonders that somehow birthed rain. Several birds - large and small; great and common - flew past the satellites. Some delayed their flight to examine the strange creation; for they had never seen such a 'creature' before. Some knocked against the strange device in a bid to understand it, and when it didn't knock back they understood it wasn't living like they were. The more intelligent birds wondered how this thing could be floating within the clouds without wings, for these were ordinary creatures that understood little of the world of wielding. They knew not that there was something called Edict that could make the improbable probable. The satellite had been a site of attraction for many birds over the past few weeks, and a few daring birds had gone ahead to create nests on the stable
"Is it over?" Selina growled. Her veins were popping out of her temple, indicating that she was close to her limits. Her reddened eyes were filled with little pools of blood as she tried her hardest to maintain her Berserk State. She needed to know that the job was done before letting go."It should be," Frederick stated with some doubt. However, when he looked over to the cloud of smoke that obscured his vision, his expression softened into a more confident one. Babylonia was a weapon that Frederick had created under the guidance of Butler Fin and Indra. By measuring the incredible durability and strength that those two gods possessed, Frederick had crafted a weapon made specifically for destroying the bodily husks of gods!Frederick had sought to make something that could threaten even the gods. He might not be a scholar, and he definitely didn't have the means to kill a god without crushing his Godhead, but he could make a weapon with such strong energy that even a god would not su
The True Goddess held on to Selina's neck with very little pity in her eyes. Her grip was like a powerful vice, and no matter how hard Selina tried, she could not break away. The True Goddess's disregard of her abilities was striking; and this could be revealed in the fact that the proud goddess hadn't bothered to strip Selina off the hold of her spear! That showed just what the True Goddess thought of her opponent. Her message was so clear that it need not be said: "Even with that in your hand, you pose no threat to me!"This was a great insult to any warrior. This was enough to break the pride of any man. However, Selina was no man. She was a woman who was facing a deity much stronger than herself. Being able to stand up to the True Goddess for as long as she had was enough of an achievement, much less doing so at her young age. This wouldn't be enought to shame her. She held her head high as countless thoughts run through her mind. Selina gripped her spear tightly as a ruthless l
