CHAPTER - 50 - HELLISH STRENGTH OF TEOCIPACTLI : PART ②

"According to the divine rule, time is divided into four periods. After each period overs, all the lower beings' lives are reset. And in each period, there's a different type of reset. In the first period, there were no early humans. Everyone started as a human. In the second period, there existed humans along with early humans. In the third period, early humans vanished. The time which is flowing right now will be the longest time period. And in this time period, we started as hunters and gatherers. However, We gods remember everything even though one period completes and another one starts."

Said Teocipactli.

Jae-Hyuk who was standing before him, asked,

"H-How do you know that? And if you know it then why the hell are you telling us 'bout this?"

Teocipactli replied,

"This is some random knowledge which is bestowed upon all types of God's since their birth."

The battle was about to start, however, Teocipactli had some flashbacks of his past.

Hundreds of milleniums earlier, in the first period...

Teocipactli was a simple creature who was ignored by others. In that time period, existed many beautiful creatures such as elves, demi-humans and other special hybrid creatures. Besides them, demons also coexisted with humans. Some low level gods and demi-gods also looked over small territories as a king, or worshiped higher beings on the spiritual plains. However, besides the fact that most of the demons lived peacefully, there was a single exception. He was a person who always thought to himself,

"Why? Why such a powerful being as me should remain under the heavens? Shouldn't it be better if I slayed those heavens and captured this Earth?"

He didn't had a huge understanding of the universe. He thought that Earth was everything. That demon was named, Hiranyaksha, or, Hwang-Gneum Nu. He had golden eyes, which were so beautiful that they looked fake. His body was of green colour and his face resembled a deer. In the first period, most of the living beings were taller than 9 feet. He was also 10 feet tall. He followed his goal and went to the heavens gate. He was one of the strongest demons ever born. He earned even more power through meditation and blessings from various gods. A fierce battle began from the day he went to the heavens gate. This battle last more than a five decades. During this time, Teocipactli made him his idol. He trained to become as strong as him. Soon, the fierce battle came to an end when he defeated the mid level gods and stole the goddess Earth, who was the queen of planet Earth in the first time period. He took the Earth and hid it in the cosmos sea. The world was in his grasp. Only some of the gods and demons were able to escape from the cosmos sea. Teocipactli was one of them. He sacrificed one of his legs as food for Hiranyaksha while escaping from the cosmos sea.

That was the incident which changed his life. His ideals changed as he thought that Teocipactli is not befitting of his idol. During that year, one of the ten main incarnations of the preserver, THE VARAHA, declared a war against Hiranyaksha to save his consort, the goddess Earth, or Bhoodevi. However, he could not protect the people of Earth and kill Hiranyaksha at the same time. He formed a team of some of the strongest people who escaped form the cosmic sea. He appointed Teocipactli as their leader and marched for war towards the cosmic sea. The first great war lasted for a thousand years. Many died but Teocipactli survived. The Earth was rescued from Hiranyaksha as he was killed by Varaha. During the war, Teocipactli was having the time of his life. It was the greatest thrill of his entire life. After the war was over, he became a major Aztec diety. A few decades later, Varaha also departed from the world, however, Teocipactli recieved the blessing of temporary immortality form Varaha and continued living till now. Today, was the first time in these millenias that Teocipactli was facing an opponent.

Present day...

Jae-Hyuk recited the sutra,

"I, Kim-Jae-Hyuk, ask thy! The great mother Earth! To lend her power to this one!

Za greetalsa Maadatya Earthesteil vem kritano yar varzet desyano!"

This created a magic circle which transferred Jae-Hyuk energy into earth and enabled him to manipulate the ground on which the second battle was about to start.

Kyung-Soon circulated her divine Gi throughout her body. However, since she was a fine kickboxer, she concentrated most of her divine Gi on her legs. Now, all the three of them were ready for the battle.

Jae-Hyuk put his hands on to the ground and created a small uplifting in the land a few metres away from him. While he was creating an uplifting, Kyung-Soon rushed towards the part of the land which was slowly lifting up. Her legs which were boosted with her divine Gi, along with her strength, it also increased her speed. She reached the uplifting in no time because of her immense speed. She reduced a little bit of her divine Gi in her right leg as she used the uplifting to jump higher in the air. While she was in the air, she increased her divine Gi in her right leg again and brought her left leg forward as she got ready to kick off anyone in her front, all of that in a split second.

Teocipactli stood on the ground and raised his head up while saying,

"Oh boy... Looks like the time has finally come!"

While she was almost about to reach his head, he suddenly shifted towards left and held her leg tightly with his hands. While she got no time to think about her next move, he swung her around at high speed. However, she didn't lost her resolve and strengthened her other leg with divine Gi. She kicked at his hands. It was a heavy blow. Teocipactli shouted,

"Haaaa! So that's how pain feels like!"

He stopped holding her leg and left her in the midair. She travelled a large distance because of the high speed. While she was in midair, Jae-Hyuk shouted,

"Kyung-Soooooon!!!!"

She was about to reach the spiky end of the stage, however, she circulated her energy in her hands and stopped her from getting pierced by the pointy bone by driving her bare hands straightly in the ground. That resulted in the fracture of her bones. She rolled towards the end of the stage but saved herself from getting pierced by those bones, even though she sacrificed her hands.

This whole scenario was being watched by the Moirai, other Khaos gods, and the one and only, Razel. He saw the whole tournament through his demonic eyes while travelling through lands at high speed using his dark demonic powers. He said to himself,

"This... Keeps on getting more and more interesting!"
