Chapter 442: Rebirth (2)

Chaos then sensed something wrong with the ring of gluttony, she assumed that it was because it was connected to Perseus' soul so it's rejecting her, but she eliminated that effect, but the ring's mana is piling up as it is absorbing the surrounding mana and its mana all of a sudden.

"Get down!" Dabria shouted to which people followed her command and create some sort of barrier. Louis got Lee and press a gadget to warp behind a barrier.

Nyx created her own barrier as the ring self destructed, the explosion destroyed some barriers and killed some of both Chaos' allies and enemies, especially those who fell asleep earlier, dream gods woke some of them up, but they were groggy and could block the attack in time.

Even those who survived got blown very far away as the explosion erased almost everything in its surroundings. A few gods opened portals and helped the sleeping ones to escape the world and others start to follow it as the explosion expanded by the second.

About 4/5 came out alive, Nyx can somehow sensed that Chaos survived, so she opened a massive portal to Chaos' destination, as this time, even though they were hesitant to face Chaos, all of them followed her through the portal to a world that wasn't the previous one. This world was a plain grassland instead of a sandy one.

They can see that Chaos whose body was blown in half. Eros and his allies was protected by Chaos' barriers and warped with Chao, but even then the barriers broke and they suffered major injuries, Atlas lost huge chunks of flesh from different parts of his body despite being so far away, he scanned his 'allies', only about 70% of them survived as the rest are being healed.

Eros, Nike, and Fortuna barely survives as only about 10% of their body remained, but Chaos managed to used its powers to then heal its allies and itself while laughing.

"To the very end, he managed to amuse me." it laughed "It was a good effort, I lost my guard for a moment there. It destroyed one whole planet, he stored so much mana in that stupid ring."

-A contingency plan in case he lost...- Albert thought -That's so like him...-

-A solider to the very end.- Helena nodded

They were looking around, they lost sight of Zach, then again, he might have stayed behind, he just witnessed the death of Perseus, the one who was his sworn sibling, he might be stunned and shocked with grief.

*****

Hecate and Zach are currently rushing to their secret hideout where Nova was currently residing at, they would directly warp to the entrance, but they placed many runes and tools to cancel spatial warps, it is also located in a hidden underground cave in the middle of an undiscovered island.

So for several dozens of kilometers till the base, they had to run. But this time, it's Hecate is carrying Zach over her shoulder who is holding his head in pain.

-Man, lucky that you put us in your bodies in time.- Perseus laughed

-Shut up, having 3 souls in one body isn't easy, I'm having a massive headache right now.- Zach retorted -I may be a king of souls, but even then I need time to adjust, maybe another hour till I get used to it.-

-Yeah, 2 souls is one thing since there is very less burden on the body, but 3 have a heavy burden on the body.- Adam explained -Besides your powers is manipulating souls or eating them, not hosting them. Even eating souls have side effects, sometimes, it will become hard for you to distinguish between the memories and have some identity crisis.-

-I'm a scholar, I know that doofus. besides, this is my body, I experienced them already first hand.-

Hecate then arrived at the hideout to see Nova who is currently in Perseus' body.

"There you are." Nova exclaimed

"We have about an hour and a half till the other spells activates." Hecate said as she put Zach on the couch "She'll try to find all our other curses but she'll be able to only notice our bait ones."

"So I have to stay in this body for a bit longer, right? Since without me, this body would be technically dead." Nova questioned

"Yes, our other spells would activate in a split second when Perseus merged back, which is enough time for her to destroy them all, so we need to use the shock factor." Zach answered "And so until I recover and can get his soul back into his body in a more permanent way, we'll stay here."

"Yeah, and when we're done, we head back, you'll leave that body then where Perseus will activate his 'conqueror' ability to let his presence known while showing himself and that should stun her for that split second for all our other curses to activate."

-Chaos will currently enjoy its freedom for now and talk a lot of shit, mainly about its superiority and how it will reshape the world.- Perseus laughed -Baeli will currently stay away to see how it goes.-

-We're only delaying Chaos by about several decades at this point.- Adam replied -We need to end it as quick as possible because next time, a fake body trick will not work, her current body is still technically a vessel, she can find a way to make it work.-

*****

For the next hour or so was a battle between Chaos and the council, Chaos so far is winning despite barely intervening with the fight. Heracles was fighting Atlas since that was what Perseus requested him to do when the time comes.

He was wrestling with Atlas toe to toe despite having a smaller stature. He managed to break away from Atlas and twist it, breaking the titan's arm, he then flipped the titan over smashing him against the ground.

This world has a much more dense mana and so it causes the surroundings and everything that made up the world much stronger, a somewhat ideal battleground.

Nova, Zach, and Hecate then arrived in the world.

-Time to make my cool entrance.- Perseus exclaimed excitedly

-More like time for you to get out of my head.- Zach grumbled -Like I love you and everything, but I would rather kill myself if I had to live with you inside me 24/7-
