LOVERS' ARENA OF PASSION

Meanwhile, Thelamia's senses were returning little by little. Her pointed ears heard the calls and shouts of the people, it's as if she was just outside the vicinity of a coliseum. Thereupon, she started to swim in her thoughts,

"Huh? Why do I hear people cheering outside?"

She leaned her body upright and opened her eyes in a jiffy. Thereupon, she perceived that Genocide was leaning at the corner, while Julieth was sitting right next to her.

Julieth gave her a smile,

"It's quite nice to see that you're awake now Thamy."

Thelamia's eyes also observed that she was at a locker room. Though, there were divine glistening weapons placed at the shelves, giving the place an atmosphere of preperation for bloodlust.

In a snap, she had goosebumps crawling over her skin,

"D-don't tell me?!"

Spheera popped out from the rumbling locker,

"Yup master! We're at the divine arena!"

Julieth nodded,

"Since, we shall now participate in this divine duel. The introductions are already finished, whilr you were asleep, so the shall commence shortly."

Sadly, Thelamia just burrowed herself in depression at the rightmonst corner,

"We're doomed. Senior Faraia's too experienced and stronger than me due to the faith she had amassed over time."

Genocide approached her and gave her a pat on the head and gave her a smile that eases off worries,

"Don't ya worry Thamy. You can just sit back and relax. Since, this is a three versus three battle they said."

Julieth nodded calmly.

Though, Thelamia was just a tad bit puzzled,

"A three versus three battle? Yet, didn't Goddess Queen Weissia told that only me and Julie will participate? Who's the third too?"

Julieth just had a facepalm,

"Apparently Thamy, it's my dear son. He's branded as the current hero in our world, thanks to his recent feats they had witnessed upon."

Genocide just scratched the back of his head,

"Who knew they'd brand me as a hero. Even I can't believe myself ya know."

Spheera agreed wholeheartledly,

"Yep, you're a hero...a perverted hero."

He tipped his hat,

"I'll take that as a compliment, ball kitten."

Suddenly, he was filled with intrigue,

"I just wonder who's Goddess Faraia's chosen hero supposed to be."

Spheera rolled its eyes,

"Who knows, he must be some sort of strange simp."

Thelamia nodded, while she was touching her lips,

"Uh huh..."

Not much soon, Thelamia saw that a divinity who had white wings of a messanger came in. Thereafter, the divine messanger went to Genocide,

"Chosen hero Genocide, you are now being summoned for the divine duel."

Genocide stood up with confidence,

"I guess that's my cue."

He gave one last pat to Thelamia before he went away,

"Just calm your big tits Thamy."

Thelamia's face just turned red as a beet and didn't reply back.

Genocide was escorted by the divine messanger. As they entered through the winding corridor, there was a prismatic portal of glowing mystery in front of them.

The divine messanger insisted,

"Beyond here is known as the divine battleground, where participants shall partake in this ceremony of courage and valor. If you're wondering, if ever you lose an arm or two, the Goddess Queen shall fully restore and revive you, as the fight never had happened."

Genocide nodded. Then, he entered through the portal and vanished from the fray.

Not much soon, he was already standing at the heated battleground of the divine arena. Then, he heard a call of his name from an emcee of a boxing ring,

"AND FROM THE DEFENEDING SIDE, IIIT'S GENOOOCIDEEEE!"

When his sharp eyes glanced around, there was a large audience of powerful Gods and gorgeous Goddesses around him. Thereupon, he was a gladiator in an arena for the entertainment of deities. Though, he was estranged as there was a tinted cube of unkown at the leftmost top area,

"Must be the VIP seat. The Goddess Queen that mom explained perhaps?"

The divine Gods growled and shouted as bloodthirsty maniacs. As for the Goddesses of grace, their pink hearts fluttered and swooned over him such as he was a popular celebrity,

"Kyaaaahhh! It's him! It's Thamy's hero! I really wish he was my hero."

"Me too me too! That junior Thelamia is pretty lucky."

"A gentleman and a pervert with a good heart. Now that's a hero I desire."

"Yuppy yups! Who knew a pervert who likes protecting women exists!"

Genocide just scratched the back of his head, as he was just dumbstruck, even in his thoughts,

"I guess I'm a little popular here huh. Maybe they were watching me and Thamy's adventure somehow."

Maybe.

As the spirit of blades was swirling around the air, the emcee continued to spark the flames more at the other side,

"AND FROM THE RECLAIMERS SIDE, IIIIITTTT'SSSS DEEEESSSTRUUUUUCT!"

Genocide was a tad bit shocked,

"Geh?! Destruct?! I thought Fae—I mean Goddess Faraia hated him?"

Genocide saw through his eyes that the charming Destruct emerged from the portal at the opposite side. Though, Genocide was also struck with intrigue and sketchyness when Destruct had a collar around his neck.

Soon, Destruct stopped and stretched out his arms,

"It has been a while, my non-blood related brother! Truly the Golden Goddess is benevolent upon letting us see each other once again."

The Goddesses booed at him,

"BOOOO! WE HATE YOU DESTRUCT! YOU'RE NO HERO!"

"YEAH! LIKE SHE SAID! You just act gently and then you torture those poor souls when they've already put their trust in you!"

"I don't even know what Faraia, my sadistic friend is thinking, choosing you to be her hero."

Destruct just sighed and ignored their negative remarks.

Afterwards, the cute female referee bunnygirl of holistic chaos who was comparable to a playboy model removed the shackles of battle,

"LET THE DIVINE DUEL, BEGIN!"

Both Genocide and Destruct heard the judgement call of the radiant bell of grandiose symphony.

Destruct bowed to him,

"As my Goddess Faraia desires to see a fair and noble fight, I won't unleash underhanded tactics nor magical powers upon you, brother."

Genocide grinned,

"Fair enough."

In an instant Genocide unsheathed his trusty flamebreaker and rushed at Destruct. Genocide let out intense strikes at every direction with light-speed reflexes. Though, Destruct just parried all of his attacks with his claw of a silver wolf of the white moon.

The crowd went wild as the battle had already been set ablaze,

"KNOCK HIS HEAD OFF!"

"Fight for our pleasure, heroes!"

One of the divine hosts started to express their remarks such as they were hosts of a sport being held in a modern-day setting,

"And we're off to a rocky start already. I'm your deity host Giorno and to my right is Armea, another deity host."

"Yes, thank you for that kind remark Giorno. So, who are you betting on Giorno?"

"I must say, both of them look evenly matched and even with no such use of magic, they're quite powerful."

"Well that's what you'd expect from the races of vampires and werewolves. They're pretty strong already."

While the two fighters were dishing out their furies, Genocide had doubts,

"Wait, you praise her as your own Golden Goddess? I thought you hated Faraia because she just used you and shoved you away?"

Destruct took one step behind and leapt away from Genocide's neverending flurry of attacks,

"Yes, that's right. She did use me, yet she didn't shove me away as you'd expect."

In a split of a second, Destruct dashed in front of Hepcide and let out a powerful swing with his claw of freezing death. Thankfully, Genocide blocked the nefarious attack just in the nick of time.

Genocide crossed his eyebrows,

"What do you mean?"

Destruct tried to unleash a quick grizzly slash, although Genocide just made a backflip, leaping high into the sky. Then, his molten wings of a raging were revealed.

The Goddesses were awestruck, even the hosts themselves,

"Did you just see that Armea?"

"Haaahhn ahhhn nnghhh! Just seeing the vampire wings make me so hot!"

"Ahhh I see...we'll get back to you shortly folks."

Zooming back to the duel, Genocide aimed at Destruct and pulled the trigger. Intense flames showered and flooded Destruct's face.

Although, when the flames ceased, Genocide witnessed that Destruct was just unscathed. It appeared Destruct blocked the raging fire with his thick werewolf claw of absolute zero. Then, he brushed his hair upwards,

"Answering your question..."

He brought out his arms in full glory and praise for the Goddess he truly adored,

"She gave me new life! A better life that my heart yearned for ages!"

Without warning, he appeared behind Genocide in mid-air. Then, he tried to smite Genocide simultaneously as he was a wild wolf.

Genocide failed to parry most of them and fell down hard on the barren dirt.

He stood up although he was catching his breath since he had gotten major wounds. More so, his mouth was leaking out fresh crimson blood as well. Though, he still tried to reason oit with his foe,

"A life that you've yearned for ages? You mean she's letting you capture any female you please?"

Destruct descended down to the ground andnstarted to approach his rival slowly,

"I've gone past that addiction. Rather, I have found a more meaningful purpose!"

He emerged in front of Genocide and swung his razor claw as it was a sharp sword. In a snap, Genocide bent his flexible body and dodged the lethal strike. As he regained his stance, he kicked away Destruct hard.

Destruct smacked into the gutters that had a magical barrier to protect the audience from the impacts of the fight being held.

Genocide brandished his blade,

"What's this purpose?"

Destruct grit his teeth while blood was leaking from his forehead,

"TO BE GODDESS FARAIA'S HERO PET!"

The flock of Goddesses were just speechless,

"Ohhhh! So that's why my sadistic friend chose him to be her hero, he's her pet."

Genocide just scratched the back of his head,

"Hero...pet?"

Destruct stood up from the edge and swayed his arm of a moon wolf,

"Yes, her hero pet!"

There after, he resumed his neverending onslaught upon Genocide, while desperation was leaking from his eyes,

"Someone who is always by her side! Someone who follows her every order! Someone who'd love her even if she's branded to be the most evil person!"

Thereupon, one of the sassy Goddesses rolled her sarcastic eyes,

"Okay, I really think he has a crazy obsession now."

Even though Genocide was able to block most of Destruct's strikes of insanity left and right, the sharp gales were giving him minor cuts. Though, he just steeled his ground and just sighed,

"So from a slave master, you turned into a mere servant."

Destruct just made a grin of an obsessed lover and punched Genocide in the gut, flinging Genocide away,

"Say what you will, but...I LOVE GODDESS FARAIA WITH ALL MY SERVANT HEART!"

Soon, Destruct unleashed his critical hits left and right,

"SHE'S BEAUTIFUL! SHE'S SEXY! SHE'S A SADISTIC GODDESS! And most importantly, she sees my worth as a masochistic hero pet!"

Genocide just continued to sigh in disappointment, while he was dodging all of Destruct's attacks in every direction such as he was dancing at the battlefield.

"So that's how it is."

Genocide found an open opportunity and let out a downward slash at Destruct. Destruct just held down his sudden blitz and dared him,

"And what about you? You're just toying around with that DUMB GODDESS THELAMIA up until now."

Genocide was a little infuriated and just kicked his opponent for a few meters away. He started to look serious, while he had grin of sarcasm,

"You'd think I'm just toying around with her?"

Destruct brushed his hair,

"Welk as I see it, yes."

Genocide just sighed and flipped his weapon. As soon as he pointed his weapon at Destruct, his eyes of iron-cold terror emerged,

"I'll prove it to you of how much I care for Thamy."

In a split of a second, his presence had vanished. Sooner or later, he unleashed his spectral strikes at Destruct almost every direction. Destruct was getting overwhelmed by the infinite furies of Genocide. Thereon, Destruct's days are numbered. When Destruct lost his composure and solid stance, Genocide grabbed the opportunity and let down the reaper's scythe upon his foe's dangerous arm.

"GGGRRRAAAAAHHHHH!"

Destruct felt the excruciating thorns of pain, as he had seen his arm was flung away from his body. His senses started to weaken and the last thing he saw was the deep abyss from Genocide's eyes.

Genocide just gave him a poker face. He pointed his weapon at Destruct's body. Genocide tipped his hat, while he was holding a small red box of luxury on his vacant hand,

"This is how much I love Thamy."

He pulled the trigger and bright searing flames of the solar phoenix engulfed Destruct's body.

"GGGGRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Destruct felt that he was being scorched in hell as the flames of wrath wreathed his body forevermore.

The God that had a moustache of an expert chef expressed his passionate remarks,

"Ahhh magnifique! Roasted her o wannabes are the best dish to be served."

When the flames had dispersed into the void, Destruct was revealed that he had third-degree burns and he fell down unconscious.

Then, the cute and delicious referee raised Genocide's hand,

"WITH THAT, GENOCIDE HAS WON THE FIRST BATTLE!"

The crowd of deities cheered upon his victory.

Genocide turned around and walked away, heading back to the portal where he came from.

"Just like you Destruct, I'd do anything for my Goddess."

He tipped his hat,

"That is why, I will not allow the world she cherishes to be destroyed. Ya got that?"

There after, he passed throught the portal and he was back at the locker room of divine preparation. As he had left the arena, his body was no longer feeling the intense heat from the battle.

He started to be absorbed in his thoughts, while his eyes were shut,

"I guess dad's crazy training before the fight paid off."

Julieth tapped his shoulders,

"Congratulations for winning the first fight my son."

Genocide opened his eyes and looked around. He noticed the place was even emptier than before,

"Yeah, by the way where's Thamy?"

Julieth made a weird smile,

"She's..."

Genocide saw that the pure Thelamia was looking around the locker room, as if she was trying to find something. She noticed him and her ears twitched. Not much soon, she went in front of him as she was an innocent little girl,

"Geno? Have you seen Spheera? We're playing hide-and-seek to ease off my tensions."

Spheera popped out from the locker room near the left-most corner,

"What the hell Thamy! That's cheating! You just don't ask somebody to know my location!"

Thelamia's eyes twinkled,

"There you are Spheera! Tag! You're it!"

Then, she patted Spheera's shiny head while she was giggling like a playful kid.

Genocide just tipped his hat with a handsome grin.

Thelamia thought of something and acted a shyly pixie in front of him,

"Say Geno? Wanna play hide-and-seek with us? It'll help me on my big fight with senior you know?"

Genocide just scratched the back of his head,

"Yeah sure Thamy."

As for Julieth who was witnessing that her son and Thelamia were acting like little children, she just made a sincere smile of a maiden.

A while later, another divine messenger came,

"Goddess Julieth? It is time for you to participate."

Julieth stood up and brought out her crystal rapier, while she had the mask of confidence,

"My son, Spheera, Thamy? This won't take long."

Julieth left afterwards,

"Not much soon, Thelamia observed that Julieth emerged from the portal. Although, she noticed that her friend's face was shrouded in stress,

"What's wrong Julie?"

Julieth patted her best of friend's shoulder and gave her a frown,

"Thamy...I'm sorry...I lost to Nearis,

Thelamia gulped as she had sudden tensions riddened all over her face,

"Oh no."

Sooner or later, she panicked as she was a helpless villager,

"HUWAAAHHH! WE'RE DOOMED!"

Spheera and Genocide entered through the door and asked Thelamia why she's panicking. Thelamia scooted in front of them and she shook Genocide's shoulder as she was a hopeless Goddess,

"JULIE LOST GENO! NOW WE'RE GONERS BECAUSE I'M THE WEAKEST HERE!"

There after, she ran around in circles, since she doesn't know what to do anymore,

"HUWAAAHH! I can't do it! There's really no way!"

Spheera was saddened.

Genocide just crossed his arms,

"Sigh, I guess we'll lose huh. Better lose with flying colors."

Julieth sat on the bench and shut her eyes,

"There's another way for us to win."

Thelamia had stopped panicking,

"Really Julie?"

Julieth nodded and opened her eyes. Then, she grabbed Thelamia's shoulders while she was looking into her eyes,

"Yes, but may I ask of you Thamy, not as a Goddess, but as my own little sister."

She caught her breath and continued to let the air of seriousness to flow,

"Are you ready to take this burden and eat your pride?"
