Chương 167: The final war with Apollo

Currently I am facing an army of winged people led by Apollo. A three headed Dobermann like dog is with them. It's huge. But this is such a drag! I am a lazy person. Why would I want to fight with them?

"Aren't you bothering the people?"

I ask Apollo who seems pretty motivated. Why is he so motivated? But he scoffs at me.

"Trying to run away. But none of your excuses will work. At this very moment, you shall receive your due punishment." (Apollo)

This dude isn't even listening to me anymore. I can see that a crowd has gathered around us. The winged people are flying with Apollo. Only the doggy is standing in front of me.

Everyone is giving me a intense glare. Should I engage them here or take the fight somewhere else?

"Apollo, how about this? We will settle this but not here and not today. I will prepare a place for our confrontation. You can bring even more troops with you."

"Enough excuses. Your trickery is over." (Apollo)

This guy is incorrigible at this point. I guess I will indulge him a bit. I take a good look. There are 200 of the winged people with him. I don't see or sense anyone aside from them. The doggy is still growling.

"Ah, yeah. I will do this."

I still couldn't do it. If I were to fight them there, the damage would be too big. I take back all of <Spirit> from my priestesses. I have already converted my mana into <Spirit>.

This feeling of superiority, I can not lose to small fries like them. After basking in the glory for a moment, I forcibly change our location.

Apollo was in the middle of his charge towards me. But upon noticing the change, he flew backwards.

"Where are we?" (Apollo)

Everyone is very much confused.

"Where…it's Gaia."

I didn't know any other planet aside from my own. So I brought all of them here. The 200 troops along with the doggy.

"Gaia you say?" (Apollo)

He seems conflicted. There's no way he doesn't know Gaia. Maybe it's the guilt trip.

"Tell me, did Jupiter order you or are you doing this on your own?"

I have ask for his input as well. Jupiter was mortally wounded by Tiana. I don't think he would recover so quickly. But even that happened a while ago.

"Father has yet to regain consciousness. Which is why I have assumed command of the divine realm." (Apollo)

"I see. Then I will wait for your troops to assemble. Go on. Bring your troops. I want your entire divine army against me. This is my big chance. I can get some practice done with you."

He was probably going to refuse. So I charge a small, really small amount of <Spirit> on my fingertips and pierce Apollo with it. It pierced through his left shoulder and left wing. He fell started falling when one of his troops caught him.

"I told you, give me your 100 percent. I want a war. Not a battle, not a duel, not a skirmish. I want a pure unrestricted war with the divine army. Show me how you defeated your predecessors."

I really am itching for a fight. I hope this would do it.

(Master, where are you?) (Hazel)

(I am on earth. Apollo attacked me with his troops so I am responding in kind. Tell everyone that no need to come here. I will handle it on my own.)

(No, we just wanted to know if you would be back by lunchtime?) (Hazel)

(I would. I am waiting for them to finish assembling. Once they are done, I will end it and go back.)

Hazel cut off our communication. It seems that they aren't even interested in fighting this army of clowns. I wasn't either. They have finally gotten on my nerves. I will teach them what fear is.

"Apollo, where are your troops?"

"It takes a bit of time. Wait.." (Apollo)

His haughty tone is gone. He is cautious now. What to do? Maybe I will do some preparations. I won't use the elements. If I did, this would be over before even beginning.

I will fight them using brute strength alone. I reinforce my body. I push it to the limits. Even I am feeling a bit drained. Just how much did I reinforce myself? I punch the air and it went BOOM!!

I just casually punched the air. But the air was concentrated and made a very small ball which then launched itself with a velocity of 10 mach, I believe.

It hit a rock and the rock exploded. Compressed air bullets sure are scary. But I don't think they have this much velocity. Well, my fists are now stronger than any cannon mankind has ever made.

I look at the divine army. A portal has appeared and troops are coming out of it. A large number of troops have already gathered. At first it was only 200. But I think there are more than 2 thousand now. And it's still increasing.

After 30 minutes of waiting, I can see that the portal is closing.

Apollo is standing in the front along with a bunch of people. They are different from the winged people so I think those are gods.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah. The entirety of the divine army is here. We outnumber you exponentially. You are one but we are two hundred and ten thousand strong. And that's just the angels. We have 300 gods with us. All of them are related to war and weapons. This time around, you are finished." (Apollo)

"But I don't see any elder gods. Where are Pluto and Neptune?"

I wanted to crush those as well. But I don't see them here.

"My uncles have better work to do than fight you. We are enough for you. You are a mere human while we are gods. We are divine beings who rule over mortals." (Apollo)

This guy is delusional. He keeps spouting nonsense while having his ass handed to him every single time.

I can see that big doggy cowering in fear in a corner. Maybe he realizes how much stronger I am than them. I put a barrier around him and take stance.

"Then come and get it."

I beckon them with my hand while having a stance that is more suited for a big swing. They started their charge at me. Two hundred ten thousand and three hundred people are charging at me. It's not even a quarter of a million but oh well.

We were standing 100 meters apart but could hear each other. That's a saving grace. Now then, I take a deep breath. Charge my right arm and punch the air as hard as I can.

I won't pull the punch at the last moment as it would create a vortex which would draw everyone towards it. I just pushed the air around me as hard and fast as I could.

I heard a pop then a crack. The scene that followed was nothing short of a cinematic experience.

Compressed air is extremely hot and pressurized. And I shot that with even more velocity than normal. That air cannon tore through the troops with an astonishing speed. The march has stopped.

They have lost too many troops in a single punch. I will call this plasma throw. The name sucks but I will properly name it later.

The ground has been gouged out and an explosion was seen beyond the horizon. My initial strike almost destroyed everything.

I count the troops. They have lost 10 thousand in a single swing. Which isn't a lot but I punched the air. Meaning it moved in a straight line. Which means, I can do damage.

Apollo has a face which I can't describe in words. His emotions are all over the place. The other gods are similar to them. The troops have already fainted. They aren't even conscious anymore. Some have already soiled themselves.

Morale is destroyed. Their formation is destroyed. Their will is probably gone as well.

"Do you still wanna continue?"

I have no intention of bullying the weak. If they have lost their will to fight, I will stop the fight and send them away. I need them alive as well so they may spread this incident to other divine beings. It will help me in the future.

I go to Apollo but he is unresponsive. Other gods ran away when I approached them. So I believe this is the outcome of our fight.

10 thousand dead on the divine side and I am unscathed. It took only 35 minutes if I include all the extra time it took. My attack was finished in just 2 seconds. It did have the same mach 10 velocity.

Now I can go back and go along with my original plan. But I wanted a war. All I did was massacre the weak. This cheat ability needs to go if I want a fight. But as a lazy person, I want everything done easily. So I will keep doing this over and over again.
