Chapitre 161: The last part of the ritual
That night, the sky of Athens was filled with sparkling stars that seemed to watch with anticipation, the sound of the wind whispering an ancient spell. At the top of the Acropolis, a circle made of ancient stones and magical symbols shone in a soft light in the center of the altar. This circle was known as the Usurpation Circle, the core of Pandora's dark Christmas ritual.
Noah stood tall in the center of the altar, wearing a black robe that flowed softly around him. Below the altar stood the women he loved- Edelweiss, Esdeath, Erica, Stella, Kanata, C.C, Euphemia, and Akame guarding Noah from any disturbance. While Athena stood next to Noah to lead the ritual.
Athena, with eyes full of wisdom, raised her hands and began an ancient chant that echoed in the night sky. The melodious voice flowed, carrying the energy of heaven and earth, flowing towards Noah who stood tall in the center of the Altar.
As Athena's chant grew stronger, the light of the Usurpation Circle began to shine brighter, creating a circle of energy that revolved around Noah. With each word spoken, the magic power of heaven and earth began to accumulate, uniting in a wondrous harmony.
Noah felt a powerful vibration within him, as if the entire world was united in one purpose: to unleash his full potential.
The energy of heaven and earth began to flow, seeping into Noah's body, filling every corner of his body and soul. He felt an unimaginable power begin to flow, surpassing the boundaries that previously bound him as a Campione. In an instant, those boundaries began to crack, and a dazzling light surrounded him, transforming him into a stronger and more powerful being.
Athena and the women he loved watched with anticipation and tension.
At the same time as the ritual began, various disasters occurred in the land of Greece, earthquakes and tsunamis came alternately as the magic power in the earth's veins continued to be absorbed by the Usurpation Circle. The magic association under Noah's command continued to try to calm the disasters that occurred. Before starting the ritual, Noah had made preparations to deal with the natural disasters that occurred due to the absorption of magic power during the ritual.
At the same time as Noah broke through the Campione boundary, the Mythology began to tremble and the heretical gods who were in the realm of life and eternity turned their gazes towards Athena, where the ritual was taking place as they seemed to sense the birth of something terrifying.
In the darkness of the night, as the light from the Usurpation Circle grew ever more dazzling, the atmosphere around them grew tense. The waves of energy emanating from Noah felt like a storm about to strike, and the heretical gods began to feel strange vibrations in their realms. They gathered, watching intently, sensing the impending threat of this ritual.
Athena, with determination and courage, continued the ancient chant that flowed from her lips. Her voice was like a bridge connecting the physical world to a higher dimension. Each verse she sang strengthened Noah, adding to the intensity of the light that surrounded him.
Suddenly, the sky above them darkened, as if the weather was responding to the ritual that was taking place. Lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder echoed in the distance, adding to the eerie atmosphere. The disaster that had struck Greece was growing more and more terrible, and despite Noah's preparations, he knew that not all could be spared.
As the energy in the Usurpation Circle reached its peak, the blinding light began to form intricate patterns, creating ancient images that swirled in the air. The images symbolized the authority that Noah held, his undiscovered potential, and the meaning of existence itself. Noah felt his soul lift, as if he were flying high above the world, exploring unimaginable boundaries.
That night, as the light from the Usurpation Circle grew ever more intense, the atmosphere at the top of the Acropolis turned dark and tense. The once-bright stars were now covered by dark clouds, as if the heavens themselves were witnessing the battle that was about to take place. The energy that overflowed from Noah caught the attention of the Greek gods who resided in the realms of life and eternity, and as the heretical gods gathered, they felt a deep sense of dread.
These gods, feeling threatened by Noah's power, immediately moved to stop the ongoing ritual.
"He cannot be allowed to remain," Ares, the god of war, said with a piercing glare. "We must stop him before he reaches his full potential!"
Meanwhile, Athena continued her chant, her voice building a bridge between the physical world and the higher dimensions. However, as she did so, the heretical gods emerged from the darkness, ready to attack. They were Ares, the god of war; Hermes, the god of travel and treachery; and Hephaestus, the god of fire and crafts.
With determination, Noah stood in the center of the altar, feeling the waves of energy flowing through him.
"Anyone who tries to stop me will feel a power they have never seen before!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the ancient stones. Though the Greek gods tried to prevent the ritual from being completed, they were too late, as the ritual had long since concluded.
Ares immediately launched the first attack, raining down a shining spear upon Noah. "You have broken the taboo, Campione!" he shouted, his attack hurtling towards Noah at incredible speed.
Noah, with incredible agility, dodged it with ease. In a flash, he raised his hand, summoning the power of the storm that flowed within him. Lightning struck from the sky, striking Ares and sending him reeling backward.
Meanwhile, Hermes, swift and cunning, tried to attack from behind. "You will not defeat all of us, Campione!" he shouted, trying to distract Noah. However, Noah was ready. Noah channeled his divine power and summoned a powerful wind.
The wind struck Hermes, knocking him to the ground.
On the other side, Hephaestus, the god of fire, summoned a blazing fire and unleashed it upon Noah. "You will burn in our power!" he shouted, summoning a sea of flames ready to consume.
However, Noah was not deterred. With the power of the sky god flowing within him, he summoned rain. The torrential waters drowned the sea of fire, extinguishing the flames before they could touch him.
"You have no idea who you are challenging!" Noah shouted, channeling the energy of the sun into his attack.
A blinding light erupted from Noah's body, forming a devastating wave of energy. He summoned the power of life and death, raised his hands, and directed the energy towards Hephaestus.
With a swift movement, Noah unleashed a devastating attack, knocking Hephaestus to the ground. The gods fell, feeling a power beyond anything they had ever experienced.
"This is the end for you!" Noah shouted, pointing his hand towards the heretical gods and summoning the White Stallion.
"Come to me, for victory! Eternal Sun, lend me a swift and shining steed. The Sun Flame that banishes darkness, may it consume you!"
.... Neighhh...booom....
Accompanied by the neighing of a horse, the white stallion fell from the sky and struck the earth at a terrifying speed. The heretical gods were unable to dodge and took a direct hit before their bodies shattered.
Athena, who had guided Noah throughout the ritual, watched with pride. "You have surpassed all limits, Noah! I am sure you can now defeat the last steel."
Amidst a stunning explosion of light, Noah stood victorious. He had defeated the heretical gods with ease, proving that his power was not only as a Campione, but also as a god stronger than anything that had ever existed.
The night ended in silence at the top of the Acropolis, only a deep crater left to tell of the battle.
