Gacha No Life

Chapter 38 - Back in Action!

Odin simply scored at this, "Do you think this is a game, mortal?! You have absolutely no idea the damage you are causing!" He snapped angrily towards an uninterested looking Puck.

Puck simply cleaned his ear with his clawed pinky before blowing a bit of earwax off the golden digit, "You started it." He quipped back quickly.

This was the final nail in the coffin as Odin roughly gripped his staff, the cosmic blue and purple energy coming off his body beginning to spark dangerously as he leveled a unholy blade at his mortal adversary.

"That's it. I'm done playing games! Your insolence has gone too far, mortal, and your audacity knows no bounds! If I don't end you now, I'd be a mockery of all the Gods of Olympus!" Odin growled out before raising his staff high into the air.

The sounds of battle suddenly began to fade away as the ground below them disappeared.

It was only Puck in Odin standing in a sea of darkness as the head of Odin's staff began to radiate a horrifying red aura.

Odin suddenly gripping the staff with both hands as his once calm demeanor vanished and was replaced with an ungodly furious look.

"THIS'LL BE THE END OF YOU! YOU WORSELESS MORTAL INSECT! YOU SHOULD'VE STAYED UNDERFOOT WHERE YOU BELONGED!" Odin roared crazily before slamming the staffed into the floor of the void they found themselves in.

A violent shockwave of red energy exploded forth the moment the staff touched the ground and numerous glowing red Nordic runes began to fill the void around them.

Odin's one eye flowed ominously as the golden aura surrounding Puck quickly began to diminish.

"This is your end now, boy. Did you truly think that power is your own? We've been watching you since the day you awakened that miserable ability of yours. Did you truly believe that we didn't prepare any counter measures for when y-?!"

Odin was rudely interrupted as something suddenly slammed into his chest at speeds that he couldn't even begin to track.

Puck watched with a satisfied smirk as Odin's body promptly folded like a lawn chair before it was sent careening and ragdolling backwards before finally skidding to a stop.

His body had lost its familiar godly aura, but his scale like armor, crown, and horns were still firmly in place.

"Thanks, Red. I was beginning to wonder when he'd shut up." Puck spoke over his shoulder to a young man wearing a red red hat that shielded his eyes from view.

A rather large mouse-like creature waved at Puck and Red before giving them a thumbs up and quickly making its way back over to its master's side.

Puck gave the two a small nod as they faded back into the void as if being consumed by shadow.

He let out a small chuckle before making his way over to a slowly recovering Odin, his hands in his pockets as he began to whistle a rather haunting tune that echoed throughout the darkness of the void.

"You know...." He began once he reached Odin's prone body, crouching down in front of him and giving him an emotionless look of pity, "I was beginning to wonder why you gods gave us this power.... Did you want us to have some sense of hope to prevent this inevitable known as Ragnarok.... Or maybe you guys just wanted to see us struggle to the very end.... But now I've finally come to realize after these several long days of being an awakened...."

Puck slowly reached down and grabbed a fist full of Odin's hair and now began to speak in a low whisper as he leveled his face to be with Odin's own, "....I've come to the conclusion that you Gods are just bored and have nothing better to do.... It's kind of pathetic really.... Oh, and also.... Dark says hi."
