Capítulo 35: The First Threat to the World III
Within the provinces of China, the local citizen wondered what the hell was going on... High above the clouds, they could see how the sun rays suddenly weakened, in certain regions only to hear a massive boom and then the darkness above the clouds would disappear.
Could it be UFOs!?
They were also unable to see a golden streak of light flying at astonishing speeds to the north! Fleeing for her life!
All around her, there were dark and grey clouds, that creature's shadow protruded from everywhere within the perimeter, eyes looking at her from everywhere, but they didn't attack!
Athena flew as fast as she could while carrying the bloody upper part of an unconscious Yang Chen that was slowly regenerating as she provided him with her godly energy, if left alone, even as a God, he would be forced into reincarnation.
'He doesn't want to kill me, he wants to kill Hades... Why!?' She didn't understand, but could only use this to her advance!
As she was flying away, with her senses all alert as she had already been attacked a few times, she sensed it once again!
Gritting her teeth, she could only take the blunt with her still regenerating arm as a black barrier of goo and eyes appeared in front of her so suddenly that she wanted to scream!
Speeding up a notch, she put her still regenerating arm in front and crashed into it!
*BOOM!!*
Pain washed her whole body but she managed to escape... How long would this last!?
She had been flying at breakneck speeds but still didn't manage to escape from him!
'Will I have to use the space principle?...' She didn't want to, her powers weren't fully recovered and that would be a clear breach of the treaty.
"Hand over Pluto, Athena. I don't want to kill you. Hand that bastard over and I will let you go." His accursed voice resounded right at her ear as if the bastard was right in front of her!
She opted for not answering, she couldn't do that...
Athena clenched her hand that was holding Yang Chen's neck in irritation... if only this bastard hadn't come!
What's the point of following the treaty if she's dead!? Surely the others would understand, her plans had to be accomplished and reincarnating once again wasn't an option!
Her body flared with a golden godly aura and she sped up even further, her arm regenerated faster as she changed courses, now, to the east!
"Where are you trying to go... It's useless, I'll find him and kill him! Do you think I didn't notice he's living in China!" She heard him speak once again with venom.
Ignoring him, she had to crash through a couple more 'shadow boulders' and evade spears that graced her skin into a bloody mess.
'It's time' after some time she was finally about to reach the ocean!
"Goddess Athena... What do you think you're doing in Chinese territory? Stop at once, you have broken the treaty of the gods!" An elderly voice resounded together with spatial fluctuations and in the next second three elder men with different robes were flying together with her.
She grits her teeth to the point they cracked, perfect... They are here now...
"Look around you, do you think I had an option!?" She screamed and didn't pay attention to them, flying even faster as a golden spear manifested in her hand!
The three elderly men were surprised at her audacity, she wasn't stopping even after their warning! They didn't even understand what she was saying, look around.
They only saw a few dark clouds around, not sensing any cultivator or energy, but it was then that it hit them... What are those shadows?
"Oh? Where did those three ants come from?" Alucard, who at this point was incorporeal and instead, everywhere within ten kilometres following Athena, got surprised when these old fogies came out of nowhere, and they didn't look like gods.
'So those are the cultivators, huh? Let's see how they taste!~' There was a memory of Athena regarding the existence of such people.
Venerable Su Hengli, the red-robbed elderly man, was preparing his martial art to attack Athena right as they flew only for the latter to suddenly throw her golden spear forward as they reached the north pacific!
He didn't notice how a shadow followed him swiftly from underneath... The two elders that managed to see 'it' could only contort in fear as a massive hundred-eyed hound preyed on Su Hengli!
"What is that!?" The other two elders asked and their cultivations rotated swiftly, the space around them suppressed!
The white-robed elder, Shenlui palmed forth with his martial technique!
<North's Immortal, Restoration Wave!>
Using his whole Karma Fire, Great Completion cultivation, he palmed forth towards the 'beast' that was approaching Su Hengli!
A massive shockwave hit Baskerville destroying the whole shadow and even scattering the clouds underneath!
Shenhui frowned as he continued his flight not expecting the horrifying beast to be so weak, but...
"Shenhui, below!" The purple-robbed man's expression palled, together with Athena's as she looked back to see what was happening, she couldn't believe what she was seeing...
"Huh-" The 'immortal' didn't even have time to wonder what happened when from underneath the clouds... A giant, resentful and horrendous, twenty metres mouth swallowed him whole!
Not even the sound of his crushed bones and flesh was heard... Baskerville was so big... that the man got swallowed whole.
**
**
300 hundred years' worth of memories rushed into Alucard's head like a movie.
Together with something very special!
'Interesting, cultivation... What a weird thing.' Alucard mumbled to himself eager to test this power, and the people perfect to test it, were just right here!
**
**
"Venerable Yanluo! It can't be, what is that thing? Athena!!" Su Hengli could only start flying away together with Shenhui upon witnessing the might of that horrendous beast!
He had never seen anything so big before! only its mouth was twenty metres in length!
Athena's paled countenance gazed at the twenty metres mouth that was getting farther and farther as they flew, only for it to suddenly disappear... Hours of pursuit taught her enough to see what was next!
*BOOOMMM!!*
Her body crushed right into another hundred-eyed barrier as the eyes looked at her as if in mock!
She managed to go through but the other two weren't so lucky!
'Athena, I sensed your signal, what is going on?' An elderly voice resounded within her mind and for the first time in a lifetime, she actually felt relieved!
'Poseidon! Take me out of here! A monster is after me and I broke the treaty! If I use the space principle now to escape, I'll fall asleep for too long! Hades is with me and he has eighty per cent of his consciousness into reincarnation. Come right now!' She literally howled an answer, not very much like her usual calm and graceful demeanour!
The person on the other side couldn't help but gape at what he was just told... Athena of all people, was asking for help? Hades into reincarnation? The treaty was broken? What the fuck!?
''I'll be there, resist!' He billowed an answer as Athena could only hope those bastards from Hongmeng would be able to distract him enough as she kept flying, but she doubted it just seeing how one of them got directly swallowed like that!
**
**
Meanwhile, the two remained and despaired cultivators crashed roughly against the boulder, without even noticing, they were so focused on the hound that didn't notice the massive black wall!
Almost instantly, another five walls covered all their escape routes! Not even a speck of sunlight entered this place!
"Su Hengli, you must go back! You have to report this!" Shenhui said trying to destroy the dark wall but every time he hit it, it would just repair instantly!
<Immortal's Mighty Palm!>
Rotating his cultivation to the maximum extent he tried to destroy any wall, but it was all pointless!
Now they understood why Athena never stopped flying, but it was too late!
Hundreds of eyes opened slowly and looked at them within the darkness, it was a nightmarish situation, to say the least.
'Nightmare, this must be a nightmare, nothing makes sense!'
"Don't you feel bored uttering your attacks like that all the time?" Alucard's voice resounded with apparent boredom, meanwhile, their heads could only think about the fact that this 'creature' could actually speak! They could negotiate!
...
"What are you!? We are members of Hongmeng! If you kill us... Y-You will- be..." Su Hengli's bravado augmented as he spoke, but that bravado dissipated the moment the sharp teeth showed themselves in front of him... The same teeth that had swallowed his fellow elder mercilessly before.
Their bodies shook in fear at the sight of those jaws.
"I'm going to be what? Tell me... Killed? Murdered? Slaughtered?" Alucard, who was now standing beside the hound patting it gently, smiled wickedly through his girly countenance, planning to finish this quickly as Athena was getting away with pluto and would soon leave his perimeter.
The two elders were left speechless even as their bodies were slowly devoured, munch to munch by the beast... The despairing visage of hundreds of red eyes mocking them as they became the simplest of nutrients, would clearly curse them through the afterlife and beyond. But...
Sadly, there was no afterlife for them, nor anyone that became Baskerville's food.
**
**
Athena looked around and saw that the darkness wasn't following her anymore, she sighed in relief, to think that they managed to distract him this much.
Yang Chen's torso and upper body were now fully recovered, remaining only his limbs and the situation looked better for her...
"It feels weird to fly this way, cultivation is quite a handy thing, don't you think Athena~"
...
NO.
NO! She didn't even bother looking behind! She didn't want to see his accursed face!
'Athena, get out of the way!' She heard a miraculous voice inside her head, it was Poseidon! He came!
**
**
A few dozen kilometres away from Athena, above the clouds of the North Pacific Ocean, spatial fluctuations spread through as a man 'teleported' here.
He seemed to be in his forties and was actually wearing... A chef hat?
'Poseidon, what is going on? I received Athena's signal, but I sense you're already there.' He heard another voice resound within his mind.
'I'll take care of it, Aphrodite, It's complicated...' If he told her about Hades' condition she would come here and that would only make things worse...
Far into the distance, he sensed Athena rushing towards his location with a regenerating Hades in her hand.
And a little farther behind her...
'For the love of Zeus...' His eyes shook and behind him flew a little girl but the murderous intent behind that girl was something that even he and his hundreds of years couldn't match...
He wouldn't ask himself why Athena was running away from this little girl!
*BOOOM!!*
Spatial power spread from his body producing cracks in space as a magnificent trident materialised in his hand.
Alucard's eyes were instantly drawn to the man's figure upon feeling the pressure.
His pressure was even stronger than Athena's!
Poseidon didn't slack and positioned brandishing his trident with the intent of swinging it!
*RUMBLE!*
Alucard felt the pressure and a malevolent smile couldn't help but spread through his face! Under the stunned gaze of Poseidon, endless darkness seeped through his body as his body morphed into something horrendous!
Poseidon's face paled at the sight of a hundred metres hound with thousands of eyes... Floating in mid-air and preying over Athena!
"LET'S FINISH THIS, ATHENA!" The creature's voice revered through space like howls from the deepest pit of Tartarus.
The whole environment darkened simulating his slaughter instinct, but Poseidon wouldn't back off!
*RUMBLE!!!*
'Athena, get out of the way!' He sent her with gritted teeth, unleashing his whole power!
Athena, upon hearing that, manoeuvred and shot upwards like a lightning bolt! getting away from Alucard's dreadful jaws!
Seeing this, Poseidon brandished his trident forth, using his whole divine energy in this attack!
<Neptune's Nethersea Grief!>
*SLASH!*
That very moment, the world stopped still!
Alucard's eyes widened as his massive form was stopped in a space lock!
*RUMBLE!*
"HAHAHAHAHA!" His mad laughter was the only thing that resonated in this world as space itself twisted and cracked under Poseidon's might!
*BOOOMMM!!!*
A gargantuan slash of blue energy left his attack, carrying with him myriad space cracks!
Alucard's massive body got instantly obliterated upon contact with no ashes or dust left...
The slash continued its trail unhindered towards the ocean below!
'Poseidon don't waste time! Let's go!' Athena flashed right in front of him, frantically. Not really confident in Poseidon's attack efficiency despite the fact that she 'saw' and sensed how his body got obliterated into inexistence!
The older man nodded and grabbed her shoulder before his power covered the two of them!
But even at that moment, he couldn't help but pale as he felt something pierce his shoulder!
His shoulder and Yang Chen's torso were perfectly lined up!
A massive black lance shot from under the ocean... Piercing the two of them in one clean swoop!
"UGH!!!" He grunted in pain and hunched down, but didn't stop his power, the next second the three were out of that nightmarish world, and out of that outrageous creature's senses!
*BOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!*
Poseidon's attack finally reached the ocean's floor as a gargantuan explosion erupted in the middle of the ocean, spreading ridiculous amounts of water into the air, and massive waves that would surely reach the coasts of Asia, America and Oceania... Causing endless destruction.
This humongous explosion would surely be caught by satellites with how massive it was.
The Vampire King appeared right in front of the humongous explosion with a wicked smile on his lips, still tasting Poseidon's blood.
'There will be many chances to reap your life, Pluto.' He thought inwardly marvelling at today's harvest even if he didn't slaughter pluto at the end of the day.
With that last attack, he hadn't gotten Pluto's soul, the latter was still alive. But with one step over the coffin that was sure.
He licked his lips as one single name hovered in his head the whole time, ignoring the catastrophe behind him, his shadow retreating back and making this world shine with light again.
