Losing Cool

"In theory, I can kill all the Gods but only in theory," Adonis whispered

Even so, he can only move forward with everything he has got. He doesn't want the throne of Olympus. All he wants is to save his family and he is willing to lay his life for that!

Adonis gritted his teeth. The greatest trial that anyone could have ever seen lay in front of him. Every step must be taken with absolute precision. No mistakes must be made. Every step must be taken with absolute precision.

All of the responsibility lay on Adonis's shoulder now.

"If I make a single mistake. Miya will die to their hands," Adonis whispered as he stared at his clasped fist. Now, everything laid in his hands.

It wasn't a matter of raw strength anymore. If he relies on strength alone he would never be able to save Miya. It had become a game of cut and chase with him being the prey. But he was not any prey, he was prey that could evolve!

Will the Gods find Adonis and kill him before he boosts his strength?

Or will he be able to increase his strength and kill the Gods instead?

No one knew.

But one thing was certain…

"The Gods don't know of my cultivating powers."

Thanks to that, the Gods won't feel as much threat from him as they would have felt had they known his secret. After all, what was Adonis? A mere Demigod at 16 % Primordial Blood Concentration. How could he even hope to be a threat to them? They didn't know that they were messing with a lion's cub,

"I have to keep escaping… without letting them feel that I am a threat to them. That's the only way to save my family."

As Adonis was now, he couldn't even hope to stand against the Gods. All he can do is run and hide. But that doesn't mean that he didn't have a fire of hatred burning in his heart. It was just that it wasn't the right time to unleash it yet.

It was then…

"AHHHH!"

Adonis heard a scream that shot him back to reality. He knew that voice. It was the voice that was a melody to his heart. His only companion. Hearing that voice scream, he felt as if his heart had cracked open.

"No…" He turned around towards the direction of the voice.

It was indeed Miya. Having his Primordial Blood cultivation increase to 17% Adonis's visual prowess had increased than before. He could make out Miya's busty silhouette even from far away.

Things had already taken their course. The threat was already looming on their head.

"Miya!"

The veins on Adonis's forehead popped out. It seemed as if smoke was coming out of his ears. He had lived with Miya for so many years. In those days he hadn't allowed even a single injury to touch her beautiful skin even though Miya was stronger than himself.

It was always he who hunted the beasts. It was always he who protected her.

Then how could he tolerate someone hurting her in front of his own eyes?

"Fuck! Fuck!"

He ran towards her. But he was running in the opposite direction from the door. He was running towards the window in the direction he saw Miya's silhouette.

Adonis didn't care about any obstructions. He didn't bother about jumping out of the window. He just barged in obliterating everything that came in his way with brute strength. He was in hope that the mess that he makes would draw the attention of the enemy somehow. And he couldn't be more right...

*Bam*

The wall broke. The entire house was shaken. It was already living its last years but Adonis's intervention did the finishing move on it. The crack that Adonis had created widened as little by little it fell apart.

*rumble*

*bam*

*thud*

The dust swirled around Adonis as the house behind him fell to rumbles. Adonis's vision was blocked but he knew where to go.

"Adonis!" The screams of Miya dawned upon his ears showing him the direction. And he knew she was in pain. The only thing Adonis didn't know was that Miya was more worried about him than herself.

*swish*

He unsheathed his blade. Two long blades on two hands as he appeared as the God of War. Miya was never good at fighting. But Adonis wasn't the same. Though his techniques were self-taught, he knew how to hold his ground. For years he had hunted beast alone as both of them lived in seclusion. Adonis knew how to fight.

"I will kill you!" He whispered.

He didn't know what kind of enemy stood in way of him. But he didn't care who it was.

Even if it was Zeus himself, Adonis would fight to his last breath so that at least Miya can escape. He won't go down without a purpose!

As the dust cleared Adonis could see better. That is when he saw Miya running towards him.

"Adonis!" Her eyes hot out wide as she finally saw Adonis' figure.

Her tears won't stop shedding. Her lips parted but she didn't know what to say. All she wanted was to be in his arms already. He got her worried for sure.
