Chương 135: Chapter 135 You're Not Triton, Susanoo
With the swing of the materialized weapons, the pale, green skinned man was cut into three pieces right before Amari's eyes.
Boom!
As soon as the body was split, what followed wasn't the squelching of flesh and the bone as Amari would have liked but an annoying explosion of energy.
The blinding explosion covered the boat once again, before receding back to the point of origin.
Nothing changed. Amari stood on the ship mast unharmed without the slightest ruffles on his clothing. Separating a strand of telekinetic will, the ship similarly suffered no damage from the blast. If not, nothing would remain of this vessel trafficking Meta-humans.
'Another Avatar'. With a thought, the material weapons dissipated into nothingness. A slight look of displeasure appeared on Amari's face at the unfolding of the situation before him.
Following which, he withdrew his time freeze and the world returned to normal. The waves rushed forward once again and the storm resumed its heavenly banter.
He withdrew the time freeze, not because of any reason other than the fact that whoever was currently attacking him wouldn't be able to show his face as long as it remained.
Sure enough, his conjecture was right.
Barely a few seconds after time resumed, the ocean itself began to roar. Following which, a giant pillar of water shot straight towards the sky.
Under his apathetic gaze, Amari watched as the pillar of water expanded and contracted until it finally formed a water giant of massive proportions.
Under his power, Amari made sure that the ship he stood on wasn't toppled by the waves that were now large enough to create a tsunami.
"The others were right. You truly are something special...."
The water body that exceeded the height of a hundred meters opened its mouth and spoke with a thunderous rumble.
What had condensed from the ocean itself was a larger figure of the pale skinned man in water form?
"Tough talk coming from another Avatar". Amari uttered with a blank look. That was right, neither the giant water giant nor the ones he had destroyed earlier were real.
Just avatars being remotely controlled. Thinking of this, his eyes glowed blue as his senses spread out to the farthest reaches of the earth scanning for any abnormal activity.
Apparently, the real body was either too overconfident that he sent a clone to finish the job or overly cautious so he dared not show his face in the battlefield.
His words made the giant water giant furrow his eyebrows.
"Do not disrespect me just because you have defeated my Avatar, outsider. You stand before Triton, Son Of Poseidon, God of Tides and Wind".
"You're Triton? One of the Gods Of Atlantis?"
"And Olympus.....".
"Really? Last I heard, the Greek Gods are dead". The curt reply with a hint of scoff seemed to anger Triton.
The tides crashed wildly for dramatic effect as the water giant bent over slightly with narrowed eyebrows.
"Do I look dead to you?"
"I'm only seeing a stand in, so my doubt remains".
The casual tone and blatant disregard made the chest of the giant water body heave up and down. The glowing white eyes shone with pure, undulated rage, seemingly at the audacity of a lowly being.
".... You have proven your valor, otherworlder. Now, you will return with me to the hidden Skyland to face trial before the God Council. There, the All-father will judge you alongside the rest of the Olympian deities".
After a long moment of silence, the giant spoke casually in a tone that left no room for questioning.
Unfortunately, the listener in question could practically be declared deaf when spoken to in this tone.
"And why in God's name should I do that?"
Thunder flash in the sky. Right beside the giant water body, a Trident emerged from the sea with a similar gigantic size.
Clasped in his left hand, Triton released his divine might and the oppressive atmosphere was magnified by several folds.
"Does stealing the power of the Gods ring any bells?"
'Oh! So that's what this is about'.
"Your actions have angered us. Stealing a God's divine power is forbidden. You blatantly stole six and therefore....".
"... Are under judgement for death".
"Is that so".
"Yes. I am the enforcer burdened with the task of bringing you back to Olympus to face the consequences of your actions".
"And what will you do if I say no?"
There was a moment of silence.
"You truly are an arrogant creature, aren't you?"
At that moment, Triton raised the Trident from the ocean.
Tsunami like waves flooded the surroundings.
"In that case, it truly can't be helped. I will have to take you in by force".
"Honestly, I don't think you can". The glowing blue eyes stared at the massive behemoth without emotion.
"Nevertheless, you're welcome to try".
"You're right". Surprisingly however, Triton didn't refute.
"With the power you possess, my current form cannot guarantee your defeat, much less your capture. Your strength has been greatly underestimated.....". Among the Olympian Gods, few could resist time and even fewer could control it.
This power was what part of what made Chronos so powerful.
"But make no mistake, outsider. When I return with the Gods of Olympus, your fate will be sealed. There will be no universe, no hidden dimension, no crevice where you can hide from us".
"When we come, you will experience pain like no other, and will suffer for your audacity and insolence".
"Surrender yourself Outsider and face your Judgement. I will not ask again". In front of the giant, Amari looked no smaller than an ant.
Amari was silent. Standing on the boat, his blue eyes radiated with oppressive light, flickering from time to time.
"Your words have merit .....". And so, he started slowly.
"And everything you've said is basically true. I've known the Greek Gods weren't all dead. So normally, I wouldn't have any reason to argue at all".
"However, in everything you've said, there's just ..... One problem".
"And what is that?"
"Well ...". At that moment, a charming smile crept its way up to his face.
"You're not Triton". His words fell and a bone chilling coldness emerged. Dark red energy emerged from Amari's body and shot forward.
Taking a curved motion, the mass of destructive power instantly condensed as soon as it was expelled to form a muscular skeleton arm. However, it didn't stop there as the arm grew rapidly in size within tenths of a millisecond, layering upon itself until it was dozens of meters tall.
On the dark red skeletal arm, a giant golden chain similarly emerged from thin air, slashing towards the giant water body of the so-called God Triton.
"Insolent.....". The giant water body roared loudly and raised the Trident condensed through its divine power to defend.
Slash!
Like a knife coming in contact with butter paper, the attack was met with little to no resistance and smashed the Trident in half, continuing its journey to the main target unabated.
"Arghhhhhh!"
This time, there wasn't another explosion of energy but a loud, shrill roar of pain and agony.
The face of the God Triton roared in fury as a long mark appeared on his body.
With a single slash, the body of was split in two and crashed into the ocean.
"Let's get this over with". Amari's eyes glowed brightly. A gleam of light emerged from the lower cabin of the ship before disappearing, following which the telekinetic force protecting it was removed.
Bang! A giant tidal wave smashed the fishing boat to smithereens in one strike, but he didn't care.
Instead, his gaze was fixed on the development of the body of water he just sliced in two.
The Triton giant fell into the ocean. Following which, a layer of dark blue emerged from the depths of the waters, coloring the whole place black.
The black sphere enveloped the area around like a domain and a figure emerged from the shadows. Under Amari's watchful eye, the pitch blackness condensed to form a figure clad in dark battle armor.
Unlike the previous look that portrayed a man with a breastplate type armor that left his arms, neck, and head exposed, this figure was fully armored from head to toe. Not even the hands were exposed as it was covered with dark gauntlets.
The body stature also differed greatly as well.
However, a long, nasty trail stretched from the lower abdomen of the Armor all the way towards the right side of his neck.
Obviously, the last strike had inflicted formidable damage.
The gaping slash on the armor was ignored as the figure fixed his gaze on Amari, who stood on air.
"... How?" Unlike the rumbling voice of Triton, this one was rather light. Soft even like that of an English gentleman. Completely inconsistent with the image of an armored dark knight.
At this moment, the man was greatly confused. Finding it hard to believe that his disguise had been seen through.
"Are you asking how I knew you were a fake or how I hurt your main body through the Avatar?"
Amari couldn't see his expression as it was hidden behind the helmet, but he could swear that the face behind it darkened considerably.
He was right.
The only visible red eyes from the openings the helmet had narrowed to the extreme.
"You knew".
"The God of Tides and Wind, capable of resisting a time freeze. Do I look easy to fool". Time Manipulation was a rare ability.
Amari didn't know the full skill sets of the Greek Gods, but he knew all Gods with a good deal of strength.
Triton wasn't one of them. As the God of time itself, the children of Chronos gained the ability to manipulate it on a smaller scale, the same way Zeus children shared his ability to control lightning.
While Poseidon could resist a time freeze, in no way could be control it. His son Triton was even less likely to do so.
Similarly, Triton wasn't the God of storms and hence, couldn't unleash divine lightning from the sky. This was reserved for Poseidon, Zeus and the better portion of his descendants.
Amari knew that the Greek Gods were still alive, but the number would be pitifully few. Now someone rushed forward and claimed that the God Council of Olympus still existed and was waiting to put him on trail, he would be a fool to believe it
"Well then .....".
Divine lightning crackled on the black armored man and converged on a certain area. The large slash mark on the metal that gave off dark ed energy was purged under the influence of divine energy.
"..... I guess I no longer have to act". Ares uttered in a gloomy tone. Tonight's operation could be said to be a complete failure.
His impersonation failed, and he gained a powerful enemy for nothing.
'Although, it is not without benefits'. The thought crossed through his mind as Ares looked at the giant skeletal arm manifested from destructive energy. Held within that arm was a long golden chain with barbed edges extending all over it.
Black curse marks emerged almost everywhere on that chain, exuding an aura of pure evil itself.
Such energy ... He had never felt something so sinister in all his years as the God of War, not even from the hell dimensions ruled by his uncle.
"I find your methods .... Interesting".
"And I yours". The dark storm clouds released bursts of lightning with seemingly no end.
"Which is why I'm curious to know what exactly would you hope to gain from targeting me?"
"My goals .... Are beyond your understanding". Ares replied gloomily.
"And you will find out for yourself soon enough".
And with that, the Avatar turned around and was about to be submerged in darkness.
"I think I'll find out now, Ares". The words that fell into his ears made his body stiffen.
Sure enough, his identity was exposed.
"Or do you think I'm going to let you go that easily?"
The easygoing voice took a much colder tone in an instant.
"Does the weapon you possess give you the confidence to stop me?" The God Of War didn't bother to turn around.
"While it might have a suppressive effect, it doesn't change the fact that this is not my true body. Its death will not kill me in any way".
Ares could feel the attributes of the golden chain that exuded an awful sense of malevolence towards his presence.
If he was here in his true form, then this chain was indeed something that could end his life if he was inflicted damage. But the situation now was different.
His body was nothing more than an Avatar. The pain he felt earlier would at most be shared to his main body. Even if it killed him here and now, he wouldn't die in the true sense.
Like Darkseid, Ares was capable of releasing Avatars of himself. However, apart from his more versatile means and magic at his disposal, the physical strength each avatar wielded was one tenth of the main body.
In a fight against Superman, he would be done for the moment he was caught in the other party's hands.
The death of such a disposable body was acceptable.
With his back turned to his opponent, Ares failed to see the meaningful expression appearing on the latter's face.
"I was never talking about your Avatar".
Following which, Amari proceeded to lower his hand and look into the depths of the ocean. His senses that had spread throughout the entire earth rushed towards the bottom of the sea in an instant, penetrating through the bottom of the ocean and digging into the deepest layers of the earth's crust.
Until .....
"Found you".
Following which, the area around the giant skeletal arm began to materialize a full-fledged body. Ribs, shoulders, chest...
Amari's looked to his right and his eyes glowed with blue, oppressive light. A space crack emerged instantly, then widened to outstanding proportions equivalent to the size of a small skyscraper.
On the other side of the portal, the picture of a lush dense rainforest appeared. The mountains towered high as tall as Mount Everest and giant stalactites bigger than hills hung from the ceiling.
This ... Was hollow earth. A realm hidden at the center of the earth itself. And within this realm stood an ancient looking palace situated on a mountainside with massive hills surrounding it.
There in that structure was the object of Amari's pursuit. Ares's true body.
And so, without further ado, the massive energy substance that had condensed into a half giant skeleton swung the evil chain towering dozens of feet straight through the portal at the building.
....
