Recap: He heard someone's footsteps approach him, their laughs itching him to fight them. But Apoth wouldn't budge.
"You are a monster. You are nothing compared to us," they spoke. Apoth's hate, his pain, his anger was fuelled by the words.
"You are powerless to stop us, you couldn't even save the one you loved. But the funniest part about this," The Primordial leaned in and whispered in Apoth's ear, "It was all your fault."
That was when Apoth lost it and blacked out.
Thalassa chuckled evilly as she celebrated her siblings' victory over the mortal. She could tell their laughs were taunting him, which was exactly what they wanted.
But the mortal seemed too depressed to actually do anything. They had just made his lover fade though so it was expected.
Thalassa chuckled, why would she feel bad about that? He had killed Aether. A slight pain in her chest reminded her of Aether's death. 'He didn't fade, he will be back in a millennia.'
But still, she couldn't help but feel angry at the mortal. I guess that's why they were taunting him. Thalassa smiled, he had no powers anymore he couldn't do anything about it.
She took a step toward the mortal, her laughs were mockingly as she taunted him. One foot in front of the other and she was already behind him.
She stopped laughing, Thalassa leaned down to his level, her anger for what this mortal could do was showing.
"You are a monster. You are nothing compared to us. You are powerless to stop us, you couldn't even save the one you loved. But the funniest part about this."
Thalassa chuckled bitterly and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "It was all your fault."
With that quick sentence, she got to her feet smiling at how the mortal seemed to deflate at her words. She could feel the anger rolling off of him when she was speaking.
Thalassa smirked as the mortal seemed to become limb, 'probably passed out in fear thinking I would kill him right then and there.'
She turned around, walking back to where her siblings were still celebrating. Her thoughts wandered to what they would do now.
When she was about halfway back to her siblings she felt something in her gut, not literally but more like a churning. Her eyes scanned her siblings, it seemed that they too noticed it.
They all seemed confused about the sudden aura change. Thalassa looked to gauge the other Primordials' feelings on it. Her eyes landed on the Primordial of Fate.
Thalassa focused on Ananke, it would make sense that she would maybe know, she was the Primordial of Inevitability. Thalassa watched as the grey-eyed Primordial of Inevitability look at her, or more specifically, behind her.
Thalassa whipped around, ready to pierce any being behind her. Her pupils shrunk as she saw the activity behind her.
The mortal, or more specifically, one string of a silver strand of his hair, was glowing a bright silver. Thalassa snarled, she charged the downed mortal, confusion creeping into her head.
The mortal was still down, but she couldn't take any chances. The glowing could mean he was going to unleash some sort of attack. She summoned her trident and shot a powerful wave of energy at the mortal.
The unthinkable happened. The mortal's strand of hair glowed a bright silver and blocked the Primordial's attack. Thalassa stopped in her tracks, shock and confusion overpowering her logical thoughts.
Suddenly, a massive earthquake, one that would be of a magnitude even the Primordial of Earth could not scale to, occurred. The Earth rocked and opened, throwing the Primordials off their feet.
The skies darkened and the wind tore through the air. The wind screamed wildly, abusing the Primordials' ears, aka big boi ear rape.
The Primordials gathered their composure and used their powers to stop the intense storm. Ouranos managed to calm the wind down to a bearable breeze but you could see how much energy it took him as the Primordial was drenched in sweat.
Gaea slowed the earthquake down and cleaned up the fissures in the Earth. Thalassa breathed out, 'What in Chaos' name was that?'
She felt it again, the churning in her gut was easily noticed, except this time it was much more powerful. Thalassa growled and turned to the downed mortal who's silver strand started to flicker.
This time Thalassa made the logical decision to stay back and wait for whatever was about to happen. The other Primordials seemed to choose the same option.
Thalassa stepped back and leaned next to Ananke, "Do you know what is happening?" Ananke let out a breath, "No... no... I have no idea what is going on."
Thalassa nodded but on the inside she was freaking out, Ananke not knowing something? That's bad, very bad.
She focused back on the silver glow flickering away. Almost instantaneously, the flickering stopped. This intrigued the Primordials' attention.
Gaea took a step forward but she stopped quickly. Thalassa threw her a questioning glance, "What?'
Gaea pointed at the mortal who was starting to stir. Chronos growled and summoned his sword, "I will finish this, clearly we must eliminate him before another one of those silver blasts come back."
The mortal slowly stood up, his back facing the Primordials. Chronos took a step toward Apoth but something stopped him. He heard a quiet growl coming from the mortal.
Quickly Apoth's growl increased in volume, advancing from the quiet whisper of growl into an ear piercing scream. The Earth seemed to shake with fear as it was thrown into a pandemonium.
The Primordials were knocked off their feet and quickly regained their footing. Apoth's scream made the wind tear through the air, whipping off his hood to reveal his raven black hair.
Apoth's eyes, hair, and eyebrows flickered a glowing white-silver color, in cause; his scream escalated greater volumes, making the Earth shake even more violently, throwing it into a state of chaos.
The Earth ripped open wider, the winds picked up more, swirling like a tornado of pure and utter destruction(Aka Sharknado 7).
The skies darkened, the clouds thickened, and lightning danced around the storm. A dark shade came from the sky, surrounding the still screaming Apoth and the Primordials in a giant dark dome.
Hemera yelped as the dome closed behind her, startled at being trapped. Pontus blasted a blast of power at the dome but it seemed to have no effect.
Pontus cursed, "It's like the dome Aether was trapped in," he stated. Gaea muttered some curses. The Earth started to shake more violently, small pebbles starting to hover above the ground as the pressure in the air changed.
The Primordials whipped their attention over to Apoth. His hair, eyes and eyebrows flickering the white-silver glow more frequently; about once every four seconds. The wind starting to pick up as well, screeching in the Primordials' ears.
Erebus grounded his teeth together, "I thought we took away his powers! He yelled. The Primordials could barely hear Erebus' yells over the wind and Apoth's screams.
No one answered him as all of them were too focused on not falling down and looking at Apoth. Gaea growled and tried to use her powers over the Earth to calm it down but it seemed ineffective.
The flickering started to increase in pace, advancing to flickering once every half a second. Ouranos tried to calm the winds down as well but it seemed that whatever was controlling the wind and earth was much more powerful than the Primordial.
Chronos snarled and took a chance to shoot a beam of power at Apoth. The blast got closer and closer but when it was around a meter from the mortal is seemed to dissolve into thin air.
That seemed the thing to trigger the mortal. Instantly the screaming stopped, the winds stopping and the Earth stopped shaking. Apoth's hair, eyes, and eyebrows stopped flickering the glowing white-silver.
The environment became calm, too calm. The calm lasted for only a single second. One second it was calm, the winds were stopped, the Earth wasn't shaking, the lightning wasn't flashing overhead. But all things must come to an end. The next second it was complete and utter chaos.
Apoth clenched his fist. The white-silver glow came back instantly and caused an immensely bright light to form. The light expanded from his hair, eyes, and eyebrows all over his body.
Once the white-silver light covered Apoth's entire body it spread to the ground. The instant the glow touched the ground a massive, deafening explosion went off. The Primordials flew backward into the dome's side at an immense speed of being blown back.
The heat torched their skin, the light of the explosion blinded them and the sound of the explosion made them temporary deaf, only to hear the sound of a ringing echoing in their eardrums.
Eros grunted as he got up, he sensed the Primordials still on the ground so he quickly went over to his brethren to help them up. He recognized Gaea's aura so he grabbed her and helped her to her feet. She muttered a "thanks" even though Eros couldn't hear her, and quickly helped everyone else up.
Their deafness slowly but surely faded away but they remained blind. Once everyone was up Gaea tried to sense for Apoth but when she couldn't find his power signature she became confused.
"I cannot sense Apoth," Gaea stated. Ananke nodded, "Yes, I cannot sense him either." Chronos shook his head, "Did he fade himself in the explosion."
Ananke nodded, "That is a possibility, I doubt anything could have survived being so close to the source of the explosion."
It seemed to take hours for the blinding and deafness to fade away, but in reality, it only took a couple of minutes. There were still white spots dancing around their vision and there was still a slight ring in their ears but other than that they were fine.
Erebus shook his head to try and get rid of the slight blur in his vision. The ringing in his ears had long since faded. He heard a slight sound that sounded like energy to his right.
He whipped his head over to where he heard the sound. He stopped dead in his tracks, there standing like a statue was a being with solid glowing white-silver hair, eyes and eyebrows staring directly at him.
yeah that^
A white-silver glow was surrounding the being, by the sound of the glow, Erebus could tell it was pure energy. Erebus unconsciously took a step back in fear.
The other Primordials looked at the fear-stricken Erebus confusingly. They looked to where Erebus was staring and they too froze in place.
The being's terrifying bright glowing eyes glanced over the Primordials. When the Primordials looked into his eyes they felt a sudden weakness overtake them.
Hemera shook her head to get rid of the weak feeling before charging up a powerful blast of energy. Her feet shuffled back to support the upcoming attack.
She released the blast of power, it sailing over at the being at immense speed. The energy sparked yellow with power, swirling around the blast.
The being's eyes turned to the blast before he adjusted his posture to defend himself. When the blast was near his face he quickly phased through the blast and backhand smacked the blast back at Hemera.
Hemera and the other Primordials were too shocked to notice the counter-attack near them. Ananke quickly realized what was going on and quickly cast a shield over Hemera.
A thundering explosion shook the shield around Hemera but didn't manage to leave a crack on it. Ananke was sweating as she managed to hold back one of Hemera's strongest attacks.
Gaea turned to the being, fear evident on her face. This... thing, just bitch slapped Hemera's strongest attack.
Hemera was quick to regain her composure, a mask of confidence covering her features. The rest of the Primordials growled and turned to the being.
Gaea snarled and powered up a blast that could take out another Primordial. The other Primordials looked to Gaea and repeated her actions, them powering up their own powerful blast.
The being just stared at them, his eyes not even seeming to be looking at them. The thought that this being could stand up to them made the Primordials furious.
Gaea growled and released her attack, a swirl of dark brown energy sailing at the being. The other Primordials followed her lead and released their attacks as well.
The energy attacks combined into one dark black beam, flying at the being with immense speed. The being didn't make any motion to defend himself or even move out of the blast.
Gaea waited for the blast to reach the being and prepared for a massive explosion. It never came.
Gaea looked up, her eyes widened and her knees became weak. She now realized what she was facing. She was facing a monster. Something too powerful to exist.
Standing in the same defenseless position was the being, his arm was stretched out in front of him and in his hand was a glowing dark sphere of power.
He had caught it. This being had just caught an attack from 10 Primordials. Gaea had stopped breathing, too surprised for the next thing that happened.
It's one thing to catch the attack. But the next thing we did was just a mere display of how powerful he was. You could see his fingers flex and his fist starting to clench around the energy.
Then it shattered. The energy blast shattered in his hand, wisps of energy flowing out from it. The being's eyes stared into Gaea's.
There were still tear streaks on his face. As Gaea made eye contact she couldn't help but feel powerless. His eyes were burning with hate, full of sadistic intent that took on a white-silver color.
She saw the hatred, the pain, the sadness, and the rage. The new Apoth didn't blink, he didn't move or even falter. He looked into Gaea's brown eyes, a promise of death in his eyes.
"My turn," he whispered.
Hehehwhfwowboqbev!
Yes, I did watch Goku go Ultra Instict so that may or may not have had something to do with this.
Hahhehahhkahfhfca!
Hope you like part 5 of the war. I think maybe one or two more chapters and this book will be done.
There may be a sequel but only after all of our other books are done.
Heahehahaehaheah!
Bye-ah!
