Chapter 213 - Retribution 2

Luke never in his life would witness a battle of the gods while bleeding, dying slowly then before he could do anything his body started to mutate becoming a mass of twitch flesh where his body was in constant agony while alive. He regretted his action and fell into a fate worse than making an oath in the river Styx.

Ryuu didn't show any mercy to those who will end up affecting countless innocent lives because of their ambition. He had his own ambition to unite humanity in a single banner and the reward for punishing the gods will help him in his quest. Though, Ryuu won't fail in becoming their father unlike the God Emperor of mankind did. 

He was a fool who lost what it means to be a human and ended up turning the world into the very thing he wanted to avoid. A world of zealots. Ryuu is going to treat them with his flesh and blood because he aims to be the God for Humanity. 

Boom!

From the sky the sound of explosion was heard as shockwaves ripple through the air while below were monsters battling humans. Their swords tear through their flesh while wild beasts ripped their stomach where their organs hang from it. 

"Blood for the Blood god!!"

"Skull for the Skull throne!"

The bloodthirsty daemon roared as they poured out from Ryuu's inner world that had changed its name into the warp. Ryuu grinned while Ares struggled to get the upper hand and countered every attack he sent toward him. He is growing stronger every moment their battle rage on yet hasn't reached the level of Ryuu who just casually redirected his swings and tank his attack. 

Ryuu twisted his body and kicked Ares who blocked with his shield before sending him flying into the ground. He felt in rage and stood back rushing to Ryuu who just blocked every attack. 

"YOU! This is impossible! Even the strongest god is unable to take a hit from me!"

He roared in frustration and felt his pride as the perfect warrior that had no equal yet Ryuu tanking his hits. He smirked at his scream and heard nothing but a brat who hadn't accepted humility that made Ryuu insult his incompetents.  

"Because you're weak."

Ares paused for moment then released his massive Divine power that empower his soldier and began to push away the monster while felt his spear thrust into his stomach as he was sent to the ground at an incredible velocity turning into meteor and cause a massive explosion where Areas was shrouded in astral flames as he point his spear to Ryuu and said.

"You do not know the immense power that a god of Olympus holds! I'll make sure to skin you alive and make your life a living hell!"

Ryuu just grinned and nodded.

"Uhm."

Ares didn't hear him and continued.

"After that, I'll bathe in your blood and grind your bones while you are still alive."

Ryuu then decided to mock him and said.

"Neat."

Ares continued still in his mad frenzy and said.

"Then I'll feat you the wolve and give an agonizing punishment like that fool Prometheus."

He finished while Ryuu responded with.

"Oh you see that would be intimidating...if you, were..well...intidimidating." 

Ares felt angrier and pushed his pierces then said. 

"Are you mocking me!?"

"Oh no no….fufuu yeah."

The god of war eyes went wide as he heard his face but not the one below him and looked in front of him and saw the same young man where his hand pointed at him and shot a power laser where eit pierce through his heart instantly made him loose all power and his divinity vanish as he fell to the ground while Ryuu who looked down at him and see how pitiful his appearance was as golden blood flowed from his heart and mouth as he tried to regenerate but unable to since his body was hit by a Nothingness bullet and said. 

"Well, Sorry about that whole "shooting you" thing, but I know if you look deep into your heart - which is currently all over that tree - you'll find a way to forgive me."

Ryuu tried his best not to laugh while Ares felt humiliated yet unable to do anything against him and stared at him with his eyes glowing blood soak red as behind him where thick tendrils appeared as if it was a tail that had sharp fangs. 

"In all seriousness, god of war, Ares this is the end of your reign and shall face my wrath. You will not die but you will do every of what makes you special."

Ares felt horrified as he felt the tendril open their jaws prepared to devour something while Ryuu continued speaking. 

"You shall live as mortal until you prove your worth as the god of war." 

He said as Ares was unable to scream and felt losing his divinity while statues of him began to grumble and his daughter to fall, losing their powers in the process. Once Ares was nothing but an old man and healed back looking at Ryuu with hatred in his eyes and tried to use powers but was unable to .

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAD DONE!! WITHOUT ME MAINTAINING BALANCE THEN THE WORLD WILL FALL TO STAGNATION!! WAR IS VITAL FOR THE GROWTH OF THE WORLD YET YOU STRIP ME OF IT!!"

Ryuu rolled his eyes and grabbed him by the neck as he struggled to breath and said.

"I am not a fool, I know war is as important as Peace is needed. I know evil is important as much as Kindness is needed. The only thing that you do is create needless war where it affects the whole world. I will not let you harm humanity by overthrowing the Olympian."

He tightened his grip in frustration and wanted to kill him yet didn't because he still had an obligation for his children and didn't want him to run away from it. 

"Let's go to Mount Olympian right now."

He said still holding him, walking to where Like who had horribly mutated into agonizing flesh and took the lightning bolt on the ground before vanishing where they were and appeared in a Roman style place where all the gods became alerted and released their divinity. 

"Who are you and how dare you-"

Zeus was about to speak when immense fell into their shoulder except to the gods who are not as horrible as him like Hestia and Hephaestus. 

All the gods looked at the young man who threw Ares on the ground and grew in size to be the same as them and trampled over Zeus who kissed the ground, shocking the gods and felt humiliated yet unable to move. 

They saw him on the throne and sat down placing his knuckle over his cheek and spread his legs as if he owns the place while Ryuu looked around observing them, noticing their emotions that range from anger, fear, hatred, curiosity, etc. 

"I am Yaldabaoth, God of Evil and the protector of mankind. I am sent here by my new consort the Goddess Styx to bring retribution to the gods who broke their oaths."

The gods eyes went wide hearing his words about becoming the goddess that most god feared into his consort! Only a fool would dream of thinking such a lie. They had doubts but everyone knows how hateful that goddess can be and only few ever court her and it's better to court death than her.  

"I have few things to stop saying about the conflict between you and Poseidon. Firstly, instead of trying to find your stupid bolt you quickly thought for war."

Ryuu released his energy enveloping the entire Olympus making Ares who was mortal to vomit blood while Zeus who had all the hatred directed cough out his golden blood while the others god wanted to help him yet they were all in the same situation. 

"Secondly, you had the simple task of keeping it in your pants yet you dare break your oath. But to be fair what would I expect from a manchild and Misogynistic rapist."

He spoke making them all swear purposely sensing the end of the Olympian if they took action while Ryuu moved his hand manipulating the body of Zeus to face him and said.

"Finally, all of you are a parent and have an obligation to spend time with your children to learn and mature yet even after living for more than thousands of years unable to mature because of how you all feel superior to all people."

Ryuu stood up from his throne walking to Zeus who gritted his teeth looking at him with anger in his eyes while he simply ignored it and said. 

"From day forth, you, Zeus, The god of Sky and lightning will be stripped of his divinity and love as mortal until he becomes worthy to wield his strength."

He absorbed his divinity and crystallized it like he did with Ares where the world still functions even without the gods managing it. Zeus became an old man and was sent to earth including Ares where they lived as mortals.

All the gods watch in horror as the most powerful god was easily dethrone and became a mortal while the unknown young man returned to the throne and said.

"Speak if you wish to ask. I will leave soon and don't dare try to fight me as I will be stripped of your body without hesitation."
