章 60: Eight Gate
"You shouldn't be lending your own body to anyone, master."
A man in violet clothes, violet hair, and violet sharp eyes coolly reprimands him in a soothing voice, his face and demeanor scream for elegance instead of danger while holding a long nodachi in his arm.
"Sasaki Kojiro"
"You have been asleep since you summoned me and you couldn't use my true power without my permission."
David tried to remember anything before he lost consciousness against the monstrous goddess he fought earlier and it seems his obsession once again took over to seek what he wanted.
"Don't worry as I won't fight you only this time but I recommend you to not waste her effort just to fulfill your tasteless endeavors."
Sasaki denounces him for wanting to defeat something that he could not before prioritizing his friends and lover in peril first.
"Her?"
David asks before noticing an arm encircling his neck, he barely notices her behind his back as it seems something is connecting them together.
"And I don't want to contest you for my power at this moment as I don't even think that I could win against you with your current strength."
Sasaki only sighs with his arm on his chest, his closed eyes open barely for a moment to look at the man that summoned him. He has once seen a spirit claiming to be a god but observing his master in front of him, he can only sigh again.
"Why would you even summon me, sigh. Anyway, you can do what you like with my power but don't go around destroying worlds."
Sasaki Kojiro vanished at his sight and the white world they were in slowly disappeared like a mirage.
"I know"
David clenched his fist as he felt the newfound strength in him, he never really understood his skill True Copy up to this point but it seems to need so many requirements to truly use it.
But he needs enough strength to summon or use someone else's technique and power or else they would occupy his body to fulfill his obsession.
It was not noticeable at the start as he only needed to copy their skill in fighting but copying themselves would now require him to defeat them.
The shattered white world was repaired once again like a film as a Guy with a bowl-shaped haircut and green spandex appeared in front of him.
"Let's abuse this borrowed ARCANUM while it lasts."
Both of them grin before an immeasurable power explodes in the white-painted world.
"Fifth Gate, Gate of Limit, OPEN!"
David exclaimed as he only knew how to open the fifth gate thanks to summoning Lee once but Guy excluded a pressure greater than him even when he had Arcanum in him.
—---
"Gate of Death, OPEN!!!"
ShooooBoooooMMM!!!
Echidna's consciousness returned after an attack blew her away, her anger that blinded her in rage dissipated after seeing the human that she hated become a part of twelve and the attack fueled by her madness was perfectly canceled.
Her serpent body stumbled like a child while looking at him unscathed and she noticed the change in them as fear became apparent on her face.
"How can you use Arcanum?! No! You're not a god!"
Echidna crazily exclaimed, even she who has used Tartarus and Gaia to use part of her power couldn't use all of them but this human in front of him suddenly gained Arcanum.
"Wait, Gaia?!"
She didn't know how but it is impossible to gain godhood without any faith so the only plausible explanation would be Gaia even if she wholeheartedly lent her Arcanum it would still be impossible for him to use them.
Her seething gaze landed upon one of the humans hugging Gaia in his arms as she planned to kill her even at the cost of destroying her ultimate plan.
'In the worst case, I would just need to imprison the rest of slumbering humanity while implanting the idea of me being the only god, killing the rest of my kin.'
Her body slowly descended on the floor, fusing with the Tartarus to alter her plan.
'I guess all of the gods above are either dead or already slumbering so it would be useless to summon the rest of my child in the Genkai.'
A menacing grin appeared on her face as she screamed, rippling the void to command her children.
"My children! Let's end this era by starting a war! A war of revenge and retribution!"
She bellowed as figures of darkness appeared beneath her, resembling a towering figures of Titans and Titaness.
"A war of Titanomachy!!!"
"Roooooaaaarrr!!!"
Ten enormous figures simultaneously roared that caused tornadoes and earthquakes to emerge, Echidna maniacally grinned before noticing that two of her children were missing.
She wanted to ask them what happened but she noticed that ten of the copies of the human she hated disappeared in an instant before appearing in front of them.
Her eight spider-like eyes widened in surprise when she saw that one of her children roared in pain as one of its arms became a stump.
Her bravado instantly shattered when she remembered one important detail she forgot.
Her children need to consume something, preferably a god, to gain strength, that's why she releases the miasma to weaken them so they can eat all they want.
But at this moment where there's nothing to consume they are only close to OEBD in strength.
She never thought nor dream that one day there would be someone strong enough to defeat her One-Eyed Black Dragon so she never planned for a situation like this.
One by one her children fell and even if they tried to resist, the human and his clones easily killed them like helpless livestock.
"No…noo!"
She murmured in panic before screaming for help.
For countless years she planned for everything that could happen, even waiting for countless years just to accumulate enough strength to resist anything.
Eventually, all of her children died without doing anything and the twelve clones of the human she hated disappeared into one.
"Please… please ill do anything, anything I swear."
She begged before slowly transforming into her cute self to appear harmless, but deep inside her hate still burned relentlessly against the human that destroyed everything she dreamed for.
'Just one strike, I know that there's a limit to everything, and killing you is not enough but erasing your existence like earlier will do the rest.'
She noticed that the necklace that he wears was already close to destruction when he died and revived when she eradicated him earlier and she concluded that it must be the thing that saved him from dying.
'Just one more death then it would be the end.'
Tears fall to her cute beautiful face while slowly begging for mercy, while her big doleful eyes look at him sorrowfully.
"Please…huff huff, I'll be a good goddess again I swear."
She bowed her head on the ground asking for forgiveness but also drawing the ultimate weapon against humanity.
A head pat.
She knows how despicable human greed was and she knew that a head pat is the ultimate form of intimacy between humans and it seems to work as he saw that he summoned a clone to hand Gaia to him as he gots closer to her.
Until finally she felt a hand patting her head and in an instant, she thrust her hidden third hand into her chest against his.
"Sike!"
With an exhilarated face she saw his clone surprised expression while holding Gaia with him.
'I won!'
She thought with ecstatic expression while David exploded as dust in the wind.
