Chapter 1881 Hercules The Traitor

Chapter 1881 Hercules The Traitor


-----


Hercules revealed the truth to Brunhild and everyone else, as Kireina stayed right at Brunhild"s shoulder level in midair, protecting the girl. She glanced around her surroundings and a.n.a.lyzed the battlefield while Hercules approached, he had over twenty Giants, all of them stronger than the Desert Kings they fought.


The Divine Domain of Pride also created a favorable effect on his allies, the more they adored him and the more they made his pride and ego grew, the stronger a buff they would receive as a result.


As he explained to everyone that Giants were the direct descendants of the Ancient G.o.ds, he smiled as Brunhild felt confused. Everybody else in her party were listening attentively, however, even Luminous, as this was all a truth not even he, the Ancient G.o.d"s creation knew about.


"What are you talking about?!" Brunhild asked, furious, as she raised her magic staff, which emanated a powerful magical rainbow aura, partially, the powerful divine domain of Hercules was slowly being eroded by her powers.


"You know what I mean. Once in a while, some Giants are born with a part of our ancestors" divine powers." He laughed. "Your mother"s magical talent wasn"t coincidence, it emerged from her having inherited this power… The [Ancient G.o.ds Crest]!" Hercules smiled. "And I… have stolen it from her."


"You…?!" Brunhild finally learned the truth.


The power she had presented against the Necrotic Death Overlord that saved her skin and that of her friends wasn"t just her magic power, but it was something much more powerful. The Demon King saw this power as something threatening, and decided to utilize his strength, charisma, and a bit of bribe to convince Hercules to do the unthinkable.


Not only he had betrayed his own tribe as he had grown tired and bored of their pathetic way of living, secluded and without desiring to take over the world like their G.o.ds once designed, but he also did so for all the things the demon king promised him.


After learning that Brunhild"s mother had married the new chief, and that he was ignored despite his strength and efforts, rage and envy grew within his heart, but his strongest sin was in fact, pride. The pride he had for his own strength and accomplishments was so strong he felt like he needed to be praised and rewarded for everything he has done more than anybody else.


He deserved that woman, he deserved to be the chief, he deserved to dominate all giants and order them around, he deserved to be their ruler and eventually, a conqueror of kingdoms as he envisioned…


All of that was never his, and once his mind broke down, he immediately changed into a different man altogether, or perhaps… he merely let his true self finally resurface from his own heart.


And the power coursing through his body, aside from the Sin of Pride, were the result of his a change of heart, that completely turned his life upside down, to the better for him, however.


"Y-You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!" Brunhild cried. "You"ll pay for this!!!"


FLAAAAs.h.!.+


Brunhild raised her staff, as it gathered her magical power, combining hundreds of spells she had learned together into a ma.s.s of rainbow and divine power.


TRUUUUUUMMMM…!


A gigantic beam of rainbow divine light reached Hercules, as he swiftly swung his gigantic hammer, imbuing his powers into it.


"Useless! You have yet to attain the strength to oppose me, brat!"


CRAAAa.s.sHHH!!!


He intercepted the ma.s.sive beam of magic and sent it straight back to Brunhild, now suddenly turning black and red, as if he had reflected her attack with a mere swing of his hammer!


"Brunhild!" Everyone cried, but they were all busy, as the over twenty powerful Giants were forcing them to fight.


"Dammit! Move over!" Roared Luminous, trying to rush forward, only for three Giants to stop him, all of them glowing with a part of this divine power shared to them from Hercules, and pus.h.i.+ng him back with multiple attacks.


"Don"t worry, I"ll watch her back!" Kireina said, flying in front of Brunhild.


All of Kireina"s summons had to support everyone, especially Elfina"s party, so she was only left with her two spears in each hand, Aquamarine in her armor, and Silva in her pocket.


"K-Kireina!!!" Brunhild panicked as she saw Kireina taking the whole blow into her own body.


BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!


An explosion of darkness and red energy spread around everywhere, reaching the skies all across… The giant laughed as Brunhild panicked.


However…


"You talk like Brunhild"s alone on this, Hercules." Kireina laughed. "You know? I do have some experience beating to death some b.a.s.t.a.r.d Prideful Giants…" Kireina recalled Brontes" story, and how she helped her avenging her family by killing the Realm Menace of Pride back in the Realm of Vida.


FLUOOOOs.h.!.+


"W-What?!" Hercules looked in shock as Kireina held in her hands a giant black hole she had just created using her combined powers, her two divine spears glowing with the power of the Void and Chaos, while the path jewel in her forehead merged it with the power of s.p.a.ce and Gluttony.


All of that attack was immediately absorbed by the black hole, which then merged into Kireina"s aura, strengthening her slightly, her aura growing much stronger.


"Kireina… You"re fine!" Brunhild sighed.


Kireina smiled at the young giant girl; she was like her daughter at this point. There was no way she"ll let this b.a.s.t.a.r.d that killed little Brunhild"s mother get away with it.


"Everyone"s busy right now dealing with those Giants, so let"s end this b.a.s.t.a.r.d together, alright dear?" Kireina smiled.


"Thank you!" Brunhild nodded. "If you"re at my side… I think we can do it!"


Hercules glared at the two with a disgusted face.


"I"ve heard about you, Kireina, I was primarily tasked to get rid of you…" He said. "Your powers are certainly strange, but-"


"You talk too much." Kireina didn"t let him even finish his monologue, as she flew towards him in a mere second, resembling a falling star covered by blue cosmic energy, and unleas.h.i.+ng a gigantic barrage of piercing spear attacks charged with Void, Chaos, Darkness, Light, and Cosmic Energy all in one!


CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAAAAs.h.!.+


"AAAGGGH…! Y-YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!"
