The doors of the Crystal Palace opened before the G.o.ds could even get to them.
A person stepped out of the palace, appearing to be a young silver-haired boy.
"As expected! You were here!" The G.o.d of War said. "I"ll see where you run now, traitor!"
"Run? Can I even run after the entire s.p.a.ce is sealed by you? I"m not an idiot to think that you people didn"t take precautions to stop me. What I"m actually surprised by is how you found me?" Ja.n.u.s asked.
"That compa.s.s is probably what led to me. But I don"t think you had that before. Or you would"ve found me long ago. Did the High G.o.ds give you that? Ah, what am I even asking? The High G.o.ds are certainly the ones who can do something like that."
"They were probably salty that their palace was blown up, weren"t they?" Ja.n.u.s asked.
"Enough nonsense! Get down on your knees! We aren"t here to kill you! We will simply imprison you! If you"re sensible, you won"t resist!" The G.o.ddess of Destiny stated. "Don"t force us to kill a G.o.d again!"
"Kill? Hahahahaha."
Ja.n.u.s burst into laughter, hearing their words.
"You think I can believe that you"ll let me live simply out of the goodness of your heart?! Nonsense! You want to capture me so you can use me against my brother? You want me as your hostage, don"t you!"
"Isn"t that a better option than death?" The G.o.ddess of Water chimed in. "If you resist, you"ll be killed. The only option is to surrender. Then you"ll survive. So the choice is between life and death! Why do you worry about the future? Just decide in the present after looking at your options."
"Options? I have already looked at my options. And I"ve also decided my answer," Ja.n.u.s replied.
"Very good. So you agreed to surrender," the G.o.ddess of Destiny let out.
"Tsk, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d survived! I wanted him to resist so I could kill him!" The G.o.d of War stated in frustration.
"Why don"t you listen to my answer first? I said I decided. But I didn"t say that I decided to surrender?" Ja.n.u.s said, smiling.
"You mean....?"
"Yep. I want to fight. If he can fight you alone, why can"t I? I"m his brother, after all. Moreover, being used against my brother? No thanks. Instead of being a coward and becoming an obstruction in his plan, I might as well die fighting!" Ja.n.u.s declared as he flew towards the G.o.d of War.
Since the s.p.a.ce was blocked, he couldn"t teleport to attack. He couldn"t use his Spatial gates either, at least not the ones that were big enough to accommodate him.
He could only make small Spatial Gates that weren"t even as big as his head. So the only option for movement left for him was to fly.
However, s.p.a.ce was the advantage of Ja.n.u.s! Without his Spatial Movement, he was just an ordinary G.o.d when it came to speed.
Even the G.o.d of War was faster than him since the G.o.d of War was the best fighter. He was not only a master in hand to hand combat, but he was also powerful and fast.
His reflexes were also the fastest.
He smirked at the sight of Ja.n.u.s attacking. His figure flickered as he appeared near Ja.n.u.s.
He tossed his fist. Ja.n.u.s moved in the air, changing his position to avoid the attack instantly. He grabbed the G.o.d of War"s wrist before landing on the ground.
It all happened within a fraction of a second. Before the G.o.d of War could even react, a kick landed on his chest.
The kick contained so much strength that it would generally have made him fly back, but not at the moment. Ja.n.u.s was holding the wrist of the G.o.d of War to hold him in place.
Because of not being able to move back, the impact of the kick made the G.o.d of War even more hurt.
Ja.n.u.s realized that the G.o.d of War was going to attack back. He freed the wrist of the G.o.d of War before he landed a spinning kick which landed in the same spot, hurting the G.o.d of War even more. This time, he flew back uncontrollably before cras.h.i.+ng on the ground.
Even though Ja.n.u.s had attacked first, it was all a bait since he knew that the G.o.d of War was going to attack as well. He pretended to be careless just to make the G.o.d of War attack.
Moreover, he also arranged his kick in such a way that instead of tossing the G.o.d of War towards the other G.o.ds, it made him fly towards the Palace of the G.o.ddess of Life and Death.
The G.o.d of War pa.s.sed through the entrance of the palace before cras.h.i.+ng inside the palace.
"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will kill him!" The G.o.d of War stood up, enraged.
"Hmm? What"s that?" He suddenly noticed something. A barrier was present around him. And a formation was under him.
"Trap!" He raged, seeing the formation. He attacked the barrier, ultimately failing to break it.
The barrier was made because of the formation under him. The formation was created by Ja.n.u.s using his own blood. He had spent a lot of vitality to create that formation. In fact, his body was considerably weaker now because of that, but he believed it was worth it.
Even if he wasn"t weak, he knew he couldn"t defeat all these G.o.ds. He wasn"t his brother, after all. The best option he had was to be quick and trap them all, making them unable to leave for a short time so he could escape with the G.o.ddess of Life and Death.
On the other hand, if he didn"t do this, he knew that not only was he going to be captured, but the G.o.ddess of Life and Death was also going to be killed.
Even though at the start he acted to be surprised to know that they planned to capture him instead of killing him, he had already expected that since he was the weakness of his brother and these people were going to know that.
Moreover, that was the only reason they didn"t blow up the entire palace to kill him at the start.
That"s also why he took such a big risk. Since they weren"t going to kill him, he could afford to sacrifice his strength for the end cause.
Without wasting a single second, towards the G.o.d of Flame.
"Futile struggles. You can never defeat us! You can only delay the inevitable," the G.o.d of Flames said, sighing.
He waved his hand, making hundreds of flaming swords appear above his head.
