Chapter 2018 Poseidon"s Last Stand
?
-----
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
As Poseidon gathered with his troops around his ruined castle, dozens of meteors made of miasmic darkness started falling from the skies, clas.h.i.+ng above the once beautiful island, now beginning to be infected by miasma and chaos!
"GRRRHHH…"
"SHAAAH…!"
"GRUOOH…"
The ma.s.ses of miasmic chaos slowly started to take form, they didn"t look animal-like either, but resembled humanoid shapes, large and monstrous, yet humanoid still. With long limbs and sharp claws, and heads with enormous, long, and sharp jaws with a single, spiraling red eye.
These beings were no mere Chaotic Beasts, these were Miasmic Aberrations, beings born from the flesh and blood of an Outer G.o.d, much stronger than typical Chaotic Beasts, which were simply a manifestation of the Element of Chaos summoned through magic.
And they were very close to what inhabitants of the Chaotic Plane might look like, aside from the strong Outer G.o.ds dominating this Pseudo Dimension!
They emanated strong Auras, every single Miasmic Aberration being as strong as Pseudo Supreme G.o.ds in sheer physical strength and magic power alone!
"RAAAAHH!"
With a monstrous roar, the Outer G.o.d emerging from the Chaos Gate ordered his army of Aberrations to run wild, the more they infected these two colliding Realms, the faster the "digestion" of it all would become, before it was to be fully covered and instantly a.s.similated!
Including any living being that might had been trapped within the entire ordeal!
"They"re coming!" Poseidon held his Trident tightly, the blue jewel incrusted on its handle glowing with a mystical azure color.
This weapon was no mere Trident, but his Divine Weapon forged by Hephaestus and the t.i.tans in Ancient Times before Genesis were to split up into Realms!
It held an incredibly precious and mystical jewel, the Primordial Sea Spirit Core Fragment, one of the last remaining fragments of the Primordial Spirit of the Seas, a direct child of Genesis who, with the other Primordial Elemental Spirits, were the first G.o.ds of Genesis before the Mortals ascended themselves, and swiftly took them down.
"Everyone, keep yourselves calm, stay together, and use the Sea to your advantage! They are more than us, but they are in a disadvantage in this area!" Poseidon roared, hitting the ground with his Trident, its mystical powers fusing with his own Divinity as the seas started moving on their own, waves and coiling rivers erupted from within and started to emerge as countless sea snake-shaped attacks, reaching the aberrations!
SPLAAAAa.s.sSs.h.!.+
The seas engulfed the Aberrations in a huge explosion, constantly crus.h.i.+ng them back and forth. The attacks became rapid and precise, as if Poseidon was unleas.h.i.+ng a gatling gun made of sea water!
"Now, charge!"
Poseidon noticed how the beasts were not dead yet, but weakened, quickly telling his G.o.ds to charge. Their Divine Weapons imbued with the Spirit Power of Sapphirine, clas.h.i.+ng against the wild ten-meter-tall Miasmic Aberrations!
"Take this!"
CLAs.h.!.+
"This is for our home!"
CLAAs.h.!.+
"We won"t let you take over Atlantis, you filthy invaders!"
CLAAAs.h.!.+
Their weapons pierced the Miasmic Aberrations, and some managed to luckily pierce through their Chaos Cores, shattering them and making the beasts instantly die, dropping into miasma that kept contaminating the island.
However, the majority failed to kill them, the beasts evaded their blows and then administrated attacks of their own, sharp slas.h.i.+ng attacks, fast kicks in their stomachs, powerful bites into their armors, several of the Sea G.o.ds were only around Great G.o.d Rank, at most Peak, so they were unable to compete completely against these beasts alone!
"Dammit, they"re too strong!" Cried a fish-faced Great G.o.d, his head suddenly devoured by a gigantic miasmic jaw!
CRUUNNCH!
"S-s.h.i.+t…! Get away from me! Gyaaah!" Another mermaid G.o.ddess screamed, as two Miasmic Aberrations coiled their tentacles around her body and teared apart her limbs one after another.
CRAAa.s.ss.h.!.+
"RAAAAH!"
Poseidon grew furious as he saw his men being annihilated, his Trident in hand as he jumped into the frontlines, Sapphirine close to him as he kept impaling the beasts one after another, the Divine Energy of the Seas combined with his newfound Spiritual Energies helped make his moves as swift as the sea waves!
"[Divine Spirit Sea King"s Trident Arts]: [One Thousand Sea Spears]!"
Poseidon gathered energies into his Trident, unleas.h.i.+ng one hundred attacks at once, clas.h.i.+ng against the Miasmic Aberrations attacking his people and crus.h.i.+ng their bodies, filling them with hundreds of holes!
CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+
"Gryyeh!"
CLAs.h.!.+
"Shyaah…!"
CLAAs.h.!.+
"Greehh…!"
CRAAAs.h.!.+
His body was slowly being tainted by their miasma, as his aura and barriers kept cleaning it from his body so he wouldn"t get infected by the malign and uncontrollable energies of Chaos.
"Sapphirine! Help me heal them!" Poseidon cried.
"Sure!" Sapphirine started flying around the battlefield, healing the G.o.ds left behind ma.s.sacred, even if their heads and arms were torn to shreds, G.o.ds could be healed as long as their souls were fine. "[Sparkling Rain of Spiritual Healing]!"
FLAAAs.h.!.+
Refres.h.i.+ng rain started falling from the skies, as the beautiful crystal maiden summoned a rain of sparkling blue light that healed the G.o.ds slowly, helping them regrow their limbs and heads quickly.
At the same time, Poseidon and his few strongest men kept advancing further, crus.h.i.+ng the cores of the Miasmic Aberrations as Poseidon continued slowly holding back his despair as he felt the dread of being watched by an Outer G.o.d!
A situation that felt so utterly hopeless! Could he really win?! No, could he even find a way to survive, even?!
"ROOOAARRR!"
"SHAAAAH!"
"GRYYYAARRGH!"
And the Miasmic Aberrations kept coming, endlessly! More kept emerging from the skies, falling like an endless rain. Their bodies slowly forming from the ma.s.ses of miasma, rus.h.i.+ng towards Poseidon.
His trident danced around as he moved gracefully, bringing forth the strength of the seas as he clashed against them, but eventually, there were so many surrounding him that he couldn"t even find the s.p.a.ce to move!
Their sticky tentacles and sharp claws kept wrapping around his limbs one after another, even as tall as seven meters as he was, they were constantly overwhelming him, his entire body covered in miasma!
"GRAAAAHH! DAMMIT!"
As he screamed in frustration, suddenly, he saw something…! A flash of crimson red light coming from afar, and thousands of spears of blood piercing his foes!
CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+
