Apollo and Adonis moved to a free area and readied themselves. " I need to learn how to fight with and without the Six eyes." Adonis places his hand on his forehead wanting to take off the blindfold but opted against it.
"Smart." Apollo nodded and remarked ." I'll give you a handicap. I'll restrict my strength to your level which is a tier 1 True God." Artemis and Athena both watched their brothers who were about to duke it out.
" And don't worry, there's a restriction seal around the perimeter so you can go all out." He added once more, before stretching again.
" Begin!!" " Boom!" In an instant, they reached each other, before throwing out devastating punches with smashed into each other. From afar, one could see a silver light and a golden light clashing against each other in a stalemate.
" Very good!However if this is your limit then I'm disappointed." Apollo smiled, before throwing another punch filled with devastating energy. Adonis didn't hold back as well. He gathered strength in his right fist and smashed it out. " Bang!!" A shockwave spread, but was easily restricted.
Adonis was sent flying tens of meters backwards, while Apollo still stood with a smile on his face.
" Dammit. He's strong." Adonis muttered unwillingly. He had forgotten that a huge restriction was placed on him limiting his strength to about 45% of the original.
" Good job Adonis. You have massive amounts of divine energy, yet such control puts even me to shame." Apollo muttered, before raising his hand.
In a burst of flames, countless flaming arrows materialized, before sweeping towards him at high speed.
Adonis cracked a smile. In just a second which was in fact, 12 hours for his brain( due to restriction from blindfold), he had thought of countless ways to counter the attack, however he just stood while the arrows pierced towards him with increasing sharpness.
" Bang!!!" The floor under his feet cracked, but the arrows stopped few meters of front of him while he flashed a cocky smile seeing Apollo squint his eyes.
Adonis teleported right in front him, the next instant and smashed his fist right into Apollo's face which was blocked by his arms.
" Bang!!" Apollo was sent flying away.
" Whoooshh!! Bang! Bang!Bang!Bang!"" The two of them turned into streaks of light and clashed multiple times in the sky. Countless punches and kicks were thrown at speeds equal or faster than light by Apollo. He was going all out as tier 1 God. Only a few number of Elder Gods could even move at light speed, however the Eternal Blazing Sun, had managed to beat that as a tier 1 True God.
However Adonis with his infinity and clairvoyance was untouchable. He wasnt using his power of time, he was just using his fast processing power to predict where and when Apollo would land since he wasn't that fast, though his teleportation sometimes caught up.
Adonis knew that if Apollo was to use his full Elder God Divine energy he might be able to crack the infinity, though it was highly improbable. Even light cannot penetrate infinity. It was like an unbeatable force meeting an immovable object. The only way victory can be determined is if one of the forces surrender.
" Bang!!Bang!" They clashed multiple times in the air, before separating. Both of them were only using superficial moves and were withholding their true trump cards.
" Spatial Rend!!!" Adonis snapped his finger, and in that instant, a huge invisible spatial blade with pure destructive power mercilessly slashed towards Apollo. It was instantaneous, and there was no chance for Apollo to dodge.
Adonis puked out a mouthful of blood and looked ahead, not forgetting to reprimand himself for being so careless and using such a technique without appropriate experiment and control.
Athena and Artemis stared at the level of destruction caused by that technique. If it were in modern world, that attack would've been a continental level destruction. And Adonis was holding back. This was about 45% of his divine energy, and considering he never runs out of divine energy, it was mind blowing.
" Would I still be alive if I faced such a technique?" Both Athena and Artemis asked themselves while steeling their resolve to train harder.
" An attack that's both invisible and instantaneous. If paired with your eyes, you could probably destroy a planet with a glance. If I hadn't predicted it with my Prophecy divinity and used a divine artifact to protect myself I would've been toast. How'd you do that?" Apollo wiped few drops of sweat in his forehead and asked.
" Hehehe, manipulating spatial molecules to sharpen through distortion to create a massive spatial blade that is instantaneous, invisible and ignores all defense. I had the inspiration while watching you manipulate light molecules to create arrows. I shouldn't be able to use such a technique due to my restriction but I've found a way around it." Adonis smiles sheepishly, while Apollo sighed.
" Hey man, there's another thing I want to test. Can you use your Elder God Divine power?" Adonis asked after a brief moment of silence. " Are you crazy?!! " Athena and Artemis both exclaimed at the same time, with worry evident on their faces, especially Artemis.
" Hey Artemis, don't tell me you've fallen for me already." Adonis flashed a cocky smile while Artemis snorted. " It'll be fine." He added with seriousness.
" Okay here goes." "Boom"!!! Apollo's body suddenly was wrapped in a golden armor as intense flames burst across his body. The sky felt as if it had been rolled away and one could see the sun seemingly drawing closer and closer to the earth .
" Hohhh children." Within a forest, a green robes beautiful woman watched as the phenomenon occurred which shook the foundation of the earth itself. " They're lucky I'm retired, else they would've been on some serious cleaning duty." She flashed a smile, before continuing to tend to her flowers.
Adonis watched on as the whole earth was covered in golden light. Apollo in this form was heavily restricted by Gaea's laws and couldn't use 99% of his Elder God power. But the one percent was enough to obliterate a True God over and over.
Adonis flashed a smile and slowly took off the blindfold revealing the Six eyes. All of a sudden, he returned to his omniscient state once again.
" True Sun destruction!" Apollo raised his finger, before a small fiery ball of divine energy gathered. It gave off an intense heat and the surrounding even began melting away.
" I hope this works." Adonis sighed and made a hand seal. " Divine Energy Amplification Lapse:. Blue. Soon, half of the earth was covered in a blue light. Spacetime was trembling as if it was happy to welcome it's Lord home.
Soon, a huge distortion of space occurred, before a large black hole, the size of a basketball. Soon, it's colour changed to a terrifying blue due to an influx of near infinite spatial energy.
A huge force of attraction rippled, before matter, and energy were pulled into the black hole like occurrence and it expanded to a diameter of about a hundred meters.
" Hahaha what an amazing kid! The control, the finesse, such talent." Apollo laughed madly as he looked on towards Adonis.
Adonis , stretched out his right arm and inclined his left arm towards his face, while its index and middle finger bent like a hook." Go!!" "Boom!!" With a whisper, the huge black hole like phenomenon reached Apollo in an instant, while he also pointed out his finger and the terrifying little ball of intense heat collided with the huge blue black hole.
" Bang!!!!!!!" A huge explosion occurred, an explosion so intense that Artemis and Athena had to isolate themselves with their divine energies. " Boom!!" With a resounding boom, the earth's foundations collapsed and it exploded sending ripples across the void .
" Restore." With a single word, from Apollo, Spacetime reversed, and the earth was restored in a perfect state. " Apollo didn't want his Great Grandma Gaea throwing one of her crazy tantrums once more.
Adonis landed on the ground and puked several mouthfuls of blood. He then put on his blindfold and smiled a smile at Athena.
"How terrifying. She smiled as she watched him slowly trip over and collapse under exhaustion.
.....................
" What the hell!!" Chronos was agape. His successor just exhibited a frightening level of talent. Something unseen in the cosmos.
" Using a black hole phenomenon in battle. Why haven't I thought about that before. " He facepalmed. " It seems those bird people have realized something. I'd have to hide him for some time." He snapped his fingers, before flashing a smile.
.....................
Deep within the expanse of the cosmos, a handsome man dressed in golden armor with golden hair was revealed. The most eye catching thing about him was the prescence of Six huge golden wings on his back that seemed to illuminate the void.
" Chronos you bastard. Why should you antagonize us." Sensing a profound ripple in the void, he chuckled, before disappearing in a flash of golden light.
