I Level Up to the Gods Part 6

< Flashback Opened >*

< Time: During the Abyss Tower Event. >

< Abyss Tower, 6th Floor >

Ragna fights with Galen as he decided to confront him, introducing himself to him at that time.

" Galen Earson, no... "

" Galen Stinger, ... that was your real name. "

" The Stinger Family is a family from America, rumored to descend from an immigrant martial arts sect called the [Hive Stinger] Clan. "

" This Clan was known to still hold the arts of the ancient martial arts from the Second Holy War and it is said that this Clan still had the very Martial Techniques that could kill many Supernatural Beings in the world. "

" From monsters, demons, and also the gods..., "

" Your family is said to have that martial arts technique that could destroy the gods' body, were they not? " Ragna asks Galen for he then tells him his reasons for revealing the guy's identity with his .

< Flashback Ended >

"( Thank goodness I approached Galen during the Abyss Tower Event. )" Ragna grins, realizing how much use of the Martial Arts is against the gods.

[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Party Deck, Niigata Sea, Japan ]

Ragna is still recovering most of his stamina, realizing he lost so much after fighting with Zeus as he had to deal with his obliterating skills.

While Ragna pants, Zeus also decides to recover his own stamina too for he begins to think why this would've happened to his left arm.

"( That brat, he... )" Zeus wonders as he is sure that the White Demon is using the [Divine Ruler's Jab].

"( There's no mistaking it, that's the [Divine Ruler's Jab]! )"

"( I knew that for I've clashed with its other users before, like my father Chronos and my late brother, Hades. )" Zeus tries to recount the sensation, he realized the sensation of the pain is so much like the time he recounted, but this time...

"( It didn't hurt much earlier, I must say that the jab is weaker than mine... )"

"( But the problem is, why the hell my remaining arm goes like this despite it getting hit by a weaker version of the technique? )" Zeus thinks while looking at the White Demon in front of him, who begins to get his Stamina recovered.

* Zeus grins. *

" You are full of surprises, White Demon! " Zeus grins as he felt a new thrill in his heart.

" To think you would manage to learn the jab in the midst of the battle, a jab that was used by the mightiest of the Divine! "

" Because of this, I must tell you that my interest in you is getting increased even more than my desire for avenging my weak son! "

" To think there will be such a challenge in this Timeline, for I have been torturedly bored over Timelines past! " Zeus tells the White Demon as he began to release more of his Divine Power.

Waves of shockwaves wreak havoc and create chaos over the seas and the skies, into the fact that Ragna had to Un-summon both Sireena and Garganto for he realizes that Zeus is not in his right mind now.

"( Guess I've triggered his excitement. )" Ragna says while he sees Loki struggling in the skies as well as the nearby Valkyries in Japan Sea that get flown away.

"( This will surely disorient them, draining their energy as they had to survive Zeus' increased joy. )" Ragna grins, realizing that what he attempts to do is working smoothly since Loki is having trouble and is busy due to Zeus' own act.

"( With the god of Luck having his time and getting tired, the battle should've been in my favor even though I wouldn't kill Zeus now. )" Ragna thinks realistically, the only way to win is to give Zeus a bit of memorable scar which still not enough to make him legal as a winner.

"( I could've killed the other fainted gods like Muruga and Futsunushi, especially Muruga since his ability is a bad omen for me in the future. )" Ragna sees Muruga and Futsunushi's body, but as he did it.

[ Divine Authority ]

[ Divine Time Interference: 0,0001 seconds ]

" You should've just looked at me, White Demon. " Zeus tells Ragna while using his Authority to punch using his [DIVINE RULER'S TRUE FIST].

He punches Ragna, but when it happened, it hurts the wounded hand even more, making the punch damage decrease as it hits Ragna's stomach.

"( Keukh, my hand... )"

"( Grrhh..., f*k it, f*k punching him to the tiniest pulp. )"

"( Just use the 'Divine Thunder'... )" Zeus decided to release the Divine Thunder through his wounded left hand, he feels the pain, as the conjured energy runs wild when it was released through his very hands, due to Ragna's < Energy Penetration Technique > that affected Zeus' blood circulation and flesh contraction.

As the Olympian Allfather tries to release it, the thunder began to spark, but instead of making a blast, the Divine Thunder explodes, blasting away both combatants as it also explodes Zeus' other hand.

*Explosion bangs.*

The Yacht is destroyed due to the explosion, while Zeus and Ragna stand still while the three other gods Ares, Futsunushi, and Muruga get into the sea, floating around in its waters, heavily wounded because of the blast, is Zeus' mistake.

" What just happened? " Loki asks after the explosion, he sees the result as he sees the White Demon stand up in the water, while Zeus floats above it with both of his hands destroyed.

" Grkh! " Zeus grunts, he feels the pain while wondering what's going on.

" F*k! " said the old god while Ragna grunts as he gets CRIT DMG over his body.

" Shit, this is what it feels if you fought without any equipment!? " Ragna says to himself, he realized how painful it is without any equipment, besides his blindfold (actually), used to cover him invisibly.

" Grkh..., so much on fighting without any armor, it damn hurts! " Ragna says as he sees Zeus, realizing how much of scars he already gave him.

"( Kekeke..., all things have been through had come to fruition. )"

"( All of my Level Ups had already succeeded in ensuring my survival when fighting the gods... )"

" Twelve would've been proud. " Ragna says it.

" With this, I would make his dreams achieved, kekeke... " Ragna chuckles as he then sees a message.

" What, no Level Up, now!? " Ragna wonders while looking at his level which the System still shows as .

" Dammit, when will I see the result, do you need to assess me more, System!? " Ragna asks, as he quarreled with the System, he was caught off-guard as he was then captured from the back and had a specter's blade pointed at his neck.

" You talked too much, do you think all of your doings are some kind of game? " Loki asks, luck is in his favor again as he successfully sneaks behind Ragna unnoticed.

" Huh, Oh, I see... you had your luck again... "

"( Damn, even the System didn't warns me about this, how the- )" Ragna thinks, realizing how misfortunate he is right now, for he realized that many Divine Presences are coming towards his direction, a great turn of events which is not in his favor.

"( God damn, god of Plot-Armor! )" Ragna curses Loki, feeling pissed on how lucky the god is, now that he feels it for himself after his uncle.*
