BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231 : Too Weak.
"So be it!" S\'mael raised two of his arms and brought them down whilst punching with another two, and the 5th Captain raised one hand to block the descending hands and parried another with her other hand, causing the remaining captains around them to get blown away from the sheer force of his attacks while tanking the fourth hand to her side and coughing up blood a few seconds later without breaking her grin and then grabbing hold of his arm.
"I will make a fine ship out of you; you are mine, god of destruction!" The 5th Captain grinned and spun with S\'mael, avoiding all five of his other arms and punching him square in his chest, he had been wary, he had taken Sol\'s words to heart, but it was when his vision blurred and he collided into an invisible barrier at the edge of the galaxy that he truly understood what Sol had meant.
S\'mael shook his head and placed his hand on the barrier, unable to even see the other ships and his fellow gods as he stared across the void.
"Surprised, aren\'t you, Vatui scum?" The 5th Captain seemed to just appear before him with the speed she commanded.
S\'mael in contrast was still gathering his bearings, aside from Dr\'ul striking him aeons ago for speaking out of place, and Ashera, the goddess of Beasts fighting him a few times in the past he had never been hit anywhere as hard as he just had, it left a visible impression in his chest, had he been mortal he\'d have died upon impact.
"My-my, Captain Van Hyden," Another captain appeared, contrasting her short hair that had been cut at the sides along with her intimidating and muscular stature as a woman standing almost seven feet tall, he had tall hair caught in a ponytail and he was slim, but equally as tall as her with the number 8 on his cheek.
The only lasting similarity between the captains was the fact that they all had black eyes and a deep purple tint in their hair. "Did you intend to fight this strong opponent all by lonesome away from the army?" He asked.
"Captain Borr, I would normally tell you to stay out of this but..." Captain Van-Hyden held her hand to her ribcage and looked at him while he slowly floated to her side. "It appears the Godslayer has found himself some powerful allies capable of holding their own even against us. "She stared at the dent in S\'mael\'s chest and watched it heal in seconds.
After Captain Borr\'s arrival, several hundred other captain-level reinforcements arrived as well, and behind them tens of thousands of vice-captains, S\'mael smirked; to his back was a wall that felt indestructible and before him an army dedicated to killing him.
"Interesting..." The god of destruction chuckled. "Very interesting -no, it is intriguing!" He started laughing, slamming his fists against the barrier and leaving visible ripples across the void it occupied while he raised his battle spirit.
"A real fight, at last, a real fight!!" He cackled wickedly and turned himself diagonally, placing his bare feet against the barrier and making a leap above all of them, it took a few seconds before they even realised he was gone, but the indicator was a gargantuan ripple that forced an explosion of gamma energy out of the space he once occupied.
Several soldiers and Vice captains were instantaneously evaporated against the cosmic energy, and S\'mael cackled and raised his hand again, grabbing Von-Hyden\'s foot and slamming her against Captain Borr with a roar and a swing after the two of them caught up to him first.
"Caution, the ones with multiple arms like insects are stronger than they appear!" Captain Borr pressed his finger to his ear relaying a message to the rest of the captains whilst steadying the 5th Captain in his grasp and watching S\'mael mercilessly dispatch several other lower-ranked captains and vice-captains, taking their heads and disfiguring their bodies with a face full of glee and excitement.
"Assuming the strongest one amongst them, the Godslayer, has glowing hair, I am going with my hint that the ones who glow are far more dangerous." Captain Hamed, bald with the number 3 on her cheek next to Captain Leonir, a casual man with the number 6 on his cheek stood on an abandoned ship that had been effortlessly cleaved in half with thousands of bodies floating around it staring at Dr\'ul as she slowly floated towards them.
"It\'s just a hunch."
"Captains, I presume, and based on the size of the digits on your faces, you are stronger than the others?" Dr\'ul\'s eyes burned crimson and the void around her body sizzled and burned casting her glow like a sun as she gracefully landed before them on the other half of the ship they stood on.
"Vatui bitch-"
"Jezebel, caution," Captain Alec Leonir (6th) looked to his third-ranked counterpart when she started crouching.
"I know Alec, as I said, I\'m under the assumption that she is very strong, how strong is irrelevant but I have reason to believe she might be a warrior of the same class as the Godslayer, so I will not take her lightly," The 3rd captain started grinding her teeth in agitation to Dr\'ul\'s provocation with her flaming sword and the fact that while Sol had yet to raise a hand, Drul had already killed tens of thousands of Soldiers, thousands of Vice-captains, and hundreds of captains, destroying dozens of ships and killing hundreds of thousands of crewmen in the process and leaving a dead field of bodies and debris around herself.
"This one is going to be troublesome."
"I am Dr\'ul, Goddess of War," Dr\'ul\'s expression was one of calm as she spoke, but the two felt nothing but intimidation from her words even as thousands more replaced the dead soldiers and they received reinforcement from captains and vice-captains Dr\'ul\'s presence was domineering, she was an unnatural cosmic force of power, unlike anything any of them had ever faced before.
"This creature thinks of herself as a goddess..." Jezebel scoffed though she remained put as more and more reinforcements came their way.
"To intrude upon the peace of Master Vestic and threaten to take his beloved from him you have ignited his wrath, by threatening to kill my people, you have ignited my own, know this, Emporium filth, there is no retreat for you, there is no mercy for the dogs of a faceless empire who seek my ruin, facing I; the goddess of war is riding the reaper\'s scythe itself, I will wash myself in your blood and relish in your screams of despair!"
Dr\'ul stomped on the ship causing a massive pulse of cosmic flames to explode and ripple around her, blocking her from their sights for a mere second which led to the death of another mass of Emporium warriors as Dr\'ul lived up to the title she inherited from her creation, leaving lanes of blood and dismembered carcases in her wake, unlike her brother who was enjoying this fight the Goddess of War had only their complete annihilation on her mind, she forewent the pleasantries of battle and went straight for the kill every time she swung her weapon.
"We might need to use Project: PowerPoint to slow her down for a decisive blow, General Hydra!" Jezebel leapt off the half ship and dodged Dr\'ul\'s sword in an attempt to grab her only to get caught with a heel to her shoulder when Dr\'ul spun and dropped an axe kick on top of her, it seemed like a casual kick but the blow was so powerful that the third Captain vanished from everyone\'s sights, appearing on scanners on the far side of the galaxy they inhabited with a fracture.
"General, please confirm!" Jezebel winced when Dr\'ul came at her again catching her by her arm and slamming her into the barrier a second time before raising her hand to the side of her head and blocking Alec\'s attempt at knocking her away, to Dr\'ul\'s surprise though she was still sent cascading along the inside of the spherical barrier, coming to a stop only when Alec attacked her a second time trying to disable her by going after her leg, but like a snake Dr\'ul twisted herself out of his way and grabbed his neck, slamming him into the barrier and raised her other hand catching the 3rd Captain\'s fist and pinning them both to the barrier by their heads.
"General!" The 3rd captain screamed again, but no help would come their way outside of more captains and vice-captains.
"Figure out a way to win, Captain Hamed, I need PowerPoint to face the Godslayer." General Hydra stared at Sol metres away from himself
"There\'s more isn\'t there?" Sol stared at the general. "There is no way this easily dispatchable force is all you tried to come at me with, there has to be more," Sol stated with certainty seeing the confidence in the man\'s gaze.
"These warriors of yours, are far too weak."
