The Deities would need a few seconds to fully bring out their powers so Kisuke went on ahead to one of the unsuspecting Deities and immediately decapitated him and a few others around him, 'What the heck? They're not prepared to defend themselves? Are they really that confident?'
The enemy Deities soon got their bearings and the simultaneous explosions of Divine Power pushed Kisuke back, stopping his charge, "Enough of you, scum!"
A Deity doused in flames and holding a spear came charging towards him and Kisuke responded by pointing his palms towards him, "Hadou no 58, Tenran (Orchid Sky)"
The wind instantly gathered around Kisuke's palm and turned into a tornado that blasted right through the flaming Deity.
The Deity then defended himself by increasing the intensity of the flame around him. This move of his was effective as the intense heat forced the blades of wind away from him. However, he was dumbfounded when he saw Kisuke smirking at him as if he was an idiot. Immediately, a vein popped in his head as he prepared to gather his flames to burn him to a crisp.
Sadly that wasn't set in motion and had to stop when he heard screams behind him. When he looked back, the Deities behind him that hadn't fully prepared were engulfed by a firestorm of his own creation that incinerated them, "N-no!"
Kisuke watched how the intensified flames burned the poor Deities until they were charred, 'That's some very strong flames. Even I wouldn't be able to easily get away unscathed if that hit me. Too bad, they are too much of an individual to fight in a proper group battle.'
Kisuke noticed that the strength of the Deities in this world varied greatly as they could be a lot weaker or stronger than their counterparts on Earth. However, there's one thing that is very consistent among them and that is their mortality is a lot higher compared to Earth Deities, 'They're too soft... I thought Deities like Freya were the standard, but it looks like I was wrong. Well, they couldn't age and they've forsaken the system so this is probably the biggest drawback.'
"Imbecile!!!" Shouted the flaming Deity, but in the end, he couldn't even approach Kisuke as a spear made out of lightning pierced through his head, obliterating it.
Kisuke looked at the other end of the spear and saw Zeus with white lightning arcs crackling throughout his entire body.
"Are they all this easy to kill?" Kisuke asked for confirmation.
Zeus shook his head, "No. Not normally."
"I see."
"But watch out for Deities with Divine Authority of Healing. It's possible for some of them to revive these dead Deities."
Kisuke now knows which targets to look out for and raise their elimination priority to the top, 'Still... No matter how unprepared and easy to kill, there are hundreds of them in the immediate vicinity and thousands could still swarm this place.'
Thankfully, Kisuke knew that they wouldn't be able to use their full power because of how crowded the place was and it'd immediately turn into a royal rumble once enough friendly fire was done, 'Still, it would be a lot more dangerous for us with most of the firepower contained in a small space. Any wrong dodges or block could mean the life of an ally.'
Soon, it wasn't just Zeus who started massacring the Deities, but also the others.
Freya would stun the Deities briefly before cutting off their heads with her Divine Sword. Meanwhile, Loki would transform her own body into various weapons including biological ones like teeth or claws. Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Serafall were shocked when a row of teeth suddenly appeared along her spine and snacked on the Deity attacking from behind.
"A shapeshifter, huh... I wonder to what extent?" Yoruichi muttered being very interested in her ability.
As for the other Gods and Goddesses, Takemikazuchi summoned a single blade and started bisecting the enemies with a single stroke. Hermes would fly around at a blinding speed but in a very silent manner and cut the throat of enemies with a dagger. Hephaestus summoned numerous shields to separate the battle between the Deities and the mortals.
Ganesha started laughing maniacally while waving his hands around while a gigantic hand mirroring his own would appear out of thin air that would slap or flatten his enemies. Meanwhile, Kali would make a circle by joining her hands together and when she looked through it, a black ball would appear that generated enough gravitational pull to shred the enemy Deities into pieces.
'Back on Earth or here, these Hindu Gods really are something else.' Kisuke thought and turned his attention to Artemis, who was putting holes in the Deities with her almost undodgeable arrows of light and then to Miach and Demeter who were working in tandem.
Thanks to Demeter, the Gods, and Goddesses on their side could fight without much worry by keeping them healthy. Since they had to do it fast, they would need to make some sacrifices in the form of injuries by focusing on attacking instead of defending. But thanks to Demeter, the wounds on everyone's body would instantly disappear and reappear on her body where it could heal much faster.
Still, everyone's wounds appearing on her were way too much for her to handle so Miach helped her with the healing process.
Since they were a very integral part of their assault and pretty much the weakest link, Astarte decided to stay beside them to protect them. And out of all the Deities here today, it was her that scared Kisuke the most.
As the Goddess of Love, Astarte has a similar ability of charming others albeit not as strong as Freya's. But the most terrifying part is that whoever she touched would rapidly be drained of their life force as if blood is being drained from them.
If this is in the Upper World, this ability would have been essentially useless with regenerations and vitality being supported by the system, but here in the Lower World, it became one of the most horrifying abilities.
Finally, the three old Gods were doing the heaviest lifting. Zeus with his lightning-clad body, Odin with his never missing spear, and Ouranos with a bulked-up body that exuded incredible strength and unbridled violence.
The initial assault went well, but as far as everyone is concerned, that's it.
After eliminating about 30 or so Deities, the rest were able to gather and finally properly hit back, immediately changing the tides of the battlefield to their disadvantage.
And when everyone became in the defensive position, Kisuke looked at Yoruichi and Serafall and nodded at them before yelling, "Retreat!"
Everyone heard it and carefully retreated while covering each other's backs. However, it was then that all their hope came crumbling down.
The children and the Xenos were able to return to Hestia's barrier but as the Deities were about to leave through Yoruichi's portal, it suddenly disappeared, along with the extreme weakening of her aura.
Everyone hurriedly turned to her and was stunned and horrified to see both Yoruichi and Serafall, gasping for air while their mouths were gurgling with blood. On their chest, an arm was sticking out and holding their hearts that were still beating.
"Yoruichi! Serafall!" Kisuke shouted at the top of his lungs while propelling himself towards them.
The hands that are holding their hearts clenched, crushing them into meat paste, "You!!!"
But before he could arrive, another pair of arms appeared from behind them and grabbed their necks. " "K-is-uke." " Were their last words before their necks were snapped and the light of life disappeared from their eyes.
The arms then tossed the corpses away, fully revealing the four armed man, "Odin!!!" Kisuke uttered a blood-curdling scream while waving his sword and releasing a blood colored wave.

28th00: Hm? It says Odin, but he doesn’t have 4 arms. Or at least, he shouldn’t? Loki? Can’t tell how they pulled off this part of a plan though. They absolutely baited a betrayal by being “Weaker” after Tiamat and everything.
Goyya: In the original myth, Odin has 2 ravens on his shoulders so as a rendition to that, I gave him another pair of arms with special abilities.
Odin crossed his four arms and blocked the blood-red wave, "Ugh!?" But upon making contact with it, Odin felt the horrifying power behind it and was instantly sent flying with two of his arms obliterated, 'Even after fortifying my defenses!?'
Odin tried to regenerate his arms with his own ability and recalled his Divine Spear, Gungnir to his hands. But before he even crashed to the ground, he saw Kisuke, in his 'monstrous' form on top of him, swinging his sword full of chilling killing intent again.
Odin held his arms up holding the Gungnir to block his sword. But the same as before, he failed to properly estimate the strength behind Kisuke's sword, which had become several times stronger, "Kuh!!!"
A thunder-clap-like sound erupted in the whole vicinity and the arms that were holding the spear ruptured before Odin was smashed into the ground, creating another loud boom that rang inside the ears of everyone on the battlefield. As the soil and dust rose up, Kisuke swung his sword again to generate a shockwave that cleared his vision and saw Odin laying in the middle of the crater with no usable arms and an overall wrecked body.
Odin tried sitting up but just groaned and found out that he couldn't move a single muscle. He then looked up with fear-filled eyes to his assailant and met his darkened eyes devoid of any emotion.
Odin's stare was broken off when he saw a ball that spelled death forming and enlarging on top of his horns. He knew that if he were to be hit by that, there would be nothing left of him. In a panic, Odin did his best to raise his hoarse voice to call for his insurance, "C-Chaos!!! Save me!!!"
Kisuke was about to blast the detestable God to oblivion when a shadow quickly emerged from the Dungeon's entrance and instantly reached him and crashed into him.
The Cero he had been preparing discharged prematurely and went towards a distant mountain, melting a large part of it into a pool of lava.
Meanwhile, Kisuke himself was dragged down to the ground and when he saw who was holding his neck, Chaos' familiar face met him, 'He really moved himself?... No, he's too weak. A clone?'
Kisuke turned his horns towards him and charged another Cero before letting it go immediately at his face.
Chaos responded by leaning his head and throwing away Kisuke, smashing him into a boulder.
Kisuke was buried inside the boulder but he was able to get out of it easily without sustaining any major injury. When he got out, he saw Chaos already at Odin's side and seemed to be passing his power to him to help him survive. Not far from them were the twelve Deities being surrounded by hundreds of enemy Deities.
But that wasn't their only problem as a few seconds later, numerous Deities also started emerging from the Dungeon and dotted the sky. They soon reached more than a thousand-strong force and the majority of them were sneering at the trapped Deities.
And although very far from their spot, Kisuke could also feel about a hundred Deities converging on Hestia's barrier and bombarding it nonstop.
Kisuke slowly floated up and looked at the hopeless situation before glaring at Chaos who just finished replacing Odin's arms with black arms that seem to be made out of numerous tentacles tied together.
"What do you think? You expected that there's a traitor in your midst, but did you expect him to come from the three stubborn old men?" Chaos first addresses him with a smug look.
Kisuke didn't say anything and just indignantly stared at him.
Odin also slowly floated up beside him with a relieved expression, "Thankfully, they're not as strong as when they fought Tiamat. Else that wouldn't have gone smoothly as it did." He then looked at the girls he killed with a wide smile, "Thank you for telling us that they haven't recovered. It gave me so much more courage and freedom to act."
While stretching his new arms, Odin added, "I actually wanted to kill you first since you're the most dangerous, but I have seen how sturdy you are and I doubt you'd actually die even if your heart is crushed. With that, I opted to kill these two weakened women. It was easier than I thought."
Odin's intentionally provocative words still didn't earn words from Kisuke who just kept staring at Chaos, 'Did he lose his mind over their deaths?'
"Still, I'm surprised that the spies you planted on my side still haven't made their appearance." Chaos continued while surveying the surrounding, "Did they finally see the futility behind your struggle? Not a single one appeared to your aid. I wanted to laugh but I'm just feeling sad."
The hundreds of Deities surrounding started assaulting the few Deities and they were only able to defend themselves thanks to the numerous shields that Hephaestus deployed, 'They're holding up better than I thought... But what is this strange feeling?' Odin thought, 'It's as if they were prepared for this? But that shouldn't have been possible. That would mean that they were expecting those two women's deaths.'
Odin's instincts are screaming something at him but he couldn't figure out what's wrong. But before he could think about it further, Kisuke finally spoke up, tossing the blaring warning of his instincts to the back of his head, 'With Chaos here, what could go wrong?'
"Why are you here?" asked Kisuke.
Chaos grinned at him and asked back, "Are you expecting me to be busy?"
Kisuke didn't answer.
"Of course, you would. If not, you would not have attempted this attack," But Chaos just shrugged his shoulders, "You're correct, I'm busy with something and I can really only send a piece of my power to see what's going on. Sadly for you, it doesn't really matter since your 'army' could only make a tiny dent in mine. I don't even have to personally take care of you."
Chaos thought that Kisuke would finally break down and start attacking him, however, contrary to his expectations, he faced the numerous Deities behind him, "For those who received my word, this is your last chance to separate yourself from this madness."
The scream of Odin's instincts became much worse but when he looked at Chaos who only sneered at him, he felt a bit comforted, 'Right... There's no way for them to turn this situation around anymore. Only stupid God and Goddesses would answer his call.'
He was already expecting it, but it was still hard for Odin to believe that there were indeed several stupid Deities who came out.
The first one who came out was an old-looking God who was brandishing a sword in his right hand and a spear in his left hand, "Goibniu..." muttered Odin.
Goibniu didn't hesitate and bisected several Deities who had their backs turned at him and attacked the twelve Deities before joining them.
