Chapter 29
IN APHRODITE'S TEST......
"Where am i?" Aphrodite said as she found herself in a large room covered in bright white light. "What?" She ask herself as she walks towards the bright white light around the room to touch it. "...what type of magic is this?" Aphrodite ask again, and then force her body into the light, but only end up on the opposite side of the room.
"...What is this!?" Aphrodite shouted angrily and enter into the light again, but only appeared on the other side where she was just standing. "No! No! I can't be stuff in this insane prison." Aphrodite shouted as she throw some magic blast around the room, but the room absorbed all of it, and immediately reverse it back to her.
"Ahhh!" Aphrodite shouted as she fall to the ground after her own magic blast hits her in the chest. "..mother what is this!?" Aphrodite shouted out loud, but her words only echoed around the large room. "...is this the test?" Aphrodite ask herself. "....what type of test is this?" She continued taking to herself like a crazy person.
"...SAVE. YOUR. BREATHE. goddess!" A voice said to her. "...what!? Someone else is here too?" Aphrodite ask herself, and instantly raise her head up to see who just spoke to her. "...What! What!" Aphrodite shouted, as she slowly stand up from the ground.
"...what...are you?" Aphrodite ask again, while staring at the person who just spoke to her, that looks exactly like her.
The other Aphrodite was standing at the other end of the room.
"...i just ask you. What are you?" Aphrodite ask again. "... isn't it obvious? I am you." The person who looked like her said, and then gave her a creepy smile. ".. this must be a joke." Aphrodite who was annoyed with the answer the person gave, conjure up spear and threw it at her.
"... let's really see who you are!" Aphrodite said and as the spear flies towards the person. "...i just told you, i am you." The person said as she immediately conjure up a spear, and use it to break Aphrodite's spear into pieces.
"...How is that possible?!" Aphrodite eyes opened wide after seeing the way the other person who looked exactly like her break her spear with little effort. "...but! You are not a clone...how did..?" Aphrodite ask as she walk backward.
" ..i am not a clone. I am the real you, the real evil in you." The person said as it walk closer to Aphrodite. "...what do you mean by evil? Are you a demon?" Aphrodite ask, and then brought out another sword from magical girdle to protect herself.
".... Hahahaha!" The Evil Aphrodite laughed. "...i am not a demon...well you can call me a demon if you like, but i am not a demon. I am simply the evil that grows in you anytime you use your powers to kill. I grow anytime you are in pain, and i grow when you are determine to kill." The evil Aphrodite explained to her, as she walks closer.
"...No evil can have immortal body, you are a demon sent here by my mother to test me. So, stop hiding behind my appearance and show me your true form demon.
"Hahaha!" The evil laughed even more. "..You are asking me for my real form? This is my real form." The evil said as she playfully turn around. ".... That's is not your true form your demon. Show me your true form and i might spare your life." Aphrodite confidently said, as she points her sword at it.
"Hahahaha!" The evil laugh even more. "... You still don't believe me huh?" The evil ask. "...well i am tired of this little chat of ours, and i want to have your body." The evil said as it points Aphrodite with it's finger.
".... what do you want my body for demon?!" Aphrodite ask it, as she prepare herself to attack. "... isn't it obvious?" The evil said. "...well the body i am in right now isn't the real Aphrodite, i want to be in the real Aphrodite so that i can absorb more evil from your, and gain the power to totally control your body.
"...i will never let demon take over my body, i will never let that happen!" Aphrodite shouted furiously to it.
"... You will never let that happen?" The evil ask her and laughed. "...i am so sorry to tell you this goddess, but it has happened before." The evil added. "...what do you mean demon? Explain yourself!" Aphrodite said while her face burn with rage.
"...When you stabbed your sister, who do you think was doing all that?" The evil ask her. "....no! No! It wasn't you goddess, you don't have the will go stab your own sister. I did that! I controlled you." The evil said with a big smile in his face.
"...No! What have i done?" Aphrodite said while feeling guilty for what she did to her sister. "...i was so blinded by my own power that i lost track of what i was doing. I hope Dusa isn't greatly injured." Aphrodite quietly said to herself.
"....Oh! Don't think about your sister because she hates you to the core now." The voice tries to poison her mind. "... stop talking lies demon, before i slice off your head." Aphrodite threatens. "...Oh! Please don't, please don't kill me." The voice playfully act like it was stared.
"....well before you kill me, just know you killed Zadre in front of Dusa, and if you get out of this hell hole. She will be waiting outside to take revenge for killing her partner." The evil reveals and then laugh even more.
"....No!" Aphrodite who was deeply shocked by this said. "...I know i hated that demon. But i will never kill him. Is this demon telling the truth? Did he really took over my body, and controlled me to do this i never wanted to do?" Aphrodite thought to herself.
"....Oh! Dusa!" She then thought of her sister and the pain she may be in after her own sister killed her man. "...Oh! What have i done." Aphrodite added again.
"..... don't feel sad...oh! Scratch that! Feel sad because i was the one who controlled you when you throw that spear at Zadre, but your son, Eros got in the way, and you know....." The evil boldly said to Aphrodite and this made her extremely angry.
"....You!" Aphrodite yelled angrily and the room they were in began to vibrate. "...Yes! Bring out that anger! Build up more evil in you, so that i can use that." The evil who wasn't afraid of Aphrodite said looking really excited.
"...you will DIE!" Aphrodite said in a manly voice, and then charges towards the evil with all her strength. "...Yes! Come to me, come to me!" The evil said as Aphrodite's rushes towards it.
"....YOU. WILL. PAY. FOR. KILLING. MY. SON!" Aphrodite shouted each words as she got closer to the evil, but when she tries to stab it, the evil dodge all her attacks with ease. "...come here!" Aphrodite said as she grabs it cloths, and smashed it to the ground, but before she could stab it, the evil have vanish to her back.
"Try harder!" The evil said while standing behind her, and this made Aphrodite really angry.
"AHHH!" Aphrodite shouted, and then swing her sword backward with all her might, and the sword cut off the head of the evil, but another new head instantly grew right back.
"...How do check the new face? It's still like the old one right?" The evil said to Aphrodite after the new head grew back. "...You demon!" Aphrodite shouted angrily and try to stab it again, but the evil moved further away from her.
"Come back here demon!" Aphrodite shouted and strom towards it again, but before she could get close to it, and hit it. The demon conjure up a hammer, and then smash her away with it before she could attack him.
"AHHHHH!" Aphrodite shouted as she drifts away and land on the ground. "... how?" Aphrodite ask herself after seeing some bloods dripping down her lip. "...That thing was able to injure me?" She ask herself, and then stand up from the ground.
"Hahaha! I forgot to tell you." The demon said. "...I also have your powers too. I don't have much but i have enough to weaken you, and take your body completely." The evil said and then place it's hammer on his shoulder, as it walk towards Aphrodite.
"...I will never be defected by a demon!" Aphrodite boldly said as conjure up her elements and convert them into thousands of different sharp objects.
"Hahaha! You think any of that will stop me?" The evil ask Aphrodite as it walk towards her. "...DIE!" Aphrodite replied it, and summon all the weapons at the EVIL.
"This will be fun!" The demon said as all the sharp weapons flies towards it. "Okay! Time to smash!" The evil shouted and then jump up and began to smash all the weapons one after the other with ease.
"DAMNIT!" Aphrodite grumbled as she watches how the evil destroy all the weapons one after the other, and not a single one touched it.
"I need to find a way to kill that demon, but......? Aphrodite words was immediately cut short, when a sharp object pierce through her right leg.
"Ahhh!" Aphrodite shouted in pain as she hold her already bleeding leg. "...You like my gift?" The evil said as it slowly levitate back to the ground. "...I gave back one of your weapons, i hope you don't mind the way the gave it to you." The evil with wide smile on it's face said.
"... You demon! You... dare injury me?" Aphrodite ask, and try to to remove the weapon which was pierced deeply on her skin. "... AHHHHH!" She shouted in pain while dragging the weapon with her bare hands, and eventually pull it out.
"... can't you see your are too weak. give me your body, and i will make you more stronger that you already are." The evil try to convince Aphrodite with his words. "...Think of all the great things we can do if we work side by side." The evil said. "...we can even kill Hades!" The evil said again.
"....I will rather die than to give my body to evil." Aphrodite boldly said as she heals her wounded leg with her magic. "...then you will die! And after you are dead i will take your body for myself!" The evil said to her, and raise it's hammer.
"... goodbye goddess Aphrodite!" The evil said to her. "...use love child! Use love." A voice whisper to Aphrodite's ears, but when she turn around nobody was there.
"Use love huh?" Aphrodite ask herself, as she look at the evil who wants to smash her with it's 🔨. "...Fine!" Aphrodite yelled and a huge magic blast burst out of her, and this pushed the evil away from her.
"...what do you mean mother?!" Aphrodite yelled again, and other magic blast burst out of her body. "...You keep saying i should use love, but how?! Huh?!" Aphrodite yelled even more and all the magic blast that hit the evil deeply damaged it's host body.
"....what is wrong with you?!" The evil shouted as it tries to balance itself when Aphrodite's magic blast hits him. "...No! I wouldn't be defected this way!" The evil said again, and charges towards Aphrodite with all it's might.
"How do i use love to defect this demon mother? Please tell me." Aphrodite begged, but got no other respond. "Damnit!" Aphrodite shouted in frustration, and then hear the evil voice.
"....why is that demon charging towards me like that?" Aphrodite ask herself as she watched the evil run towards her. "....how can i possibly use love to defect that?" Aphrodite ask herself, and then suddenly remember what Soul use to tell her.
"LOVE CAN STOP A BATTLE BEFORE IT BEGAN." Aphrodite quote out the words with her mouth. "...If love can stop a battle, then i think am going to use it to stop this." Aphrodite said as she walk towards the evil even though it was running towards het like a wild lion.
"Come on! Come out me!" Aphrodite walked towards the evil, and shouted. This made the evil and this made it really confused, and it wonder why she isn't trying to attack.
"....what is that upper god trying to do?" The evil ask itself. "...Is she going to do a trick spell on me?" The evil ask itself again, and conjure some chain on its other hand. "No! I wouldn't let her defect me with her strange acts!" The evil boldly said to myself, and jump up to have the upper hands when its attacks.
"Oh! That demon doesn't want me to do this the eazy way huh?" Aphrodite said as she sees the demon flying towards her with it's weapon.
"Love can stop battles! Love can stop battles!" Aphrodite quote the lines to herself, while standing still and not do anything as the evil storm towards her.
"Die!" The evil shouted as it strike Aphrodite on both side of her body with it's two weapons, but strangely non of the weapon wounded her.
"Wait! What is going on?" The Evil was shock that it's weapon didn't kill Aphrodite.
"... Taking the first step!" Aphrodite excitedly said after realizing that the attacks from the Evil didn't wound her.
"It worked... hahahaha! It worked." Aphrodite added, and turn to the evil, who was standing right in front of her. "....You see? Love is ends battle!" Aphrodite confidently said to the Evil.
"No! Impossible you can't say that word to me... you just can't..." The evil said as it step backwards from her.
"...i never thought i will say this to anybody especially a demon, but i have to do this to defect...damnit!" Aphrodite thought in her mind, and spread her hands open like who wants to give a big embrace to a long lost relative.
"...Come let's be friends!" Aphrodite said to Evil while still spreading her hands wide open. "Stop! Stop saying that word!" The evil shouted and falls on the ground.
"Whatever you did to me, i wouldn't hold it against you. I forgive you and i want us to be friends." Aphrodite said with deep sincerity in her heart.
"No! Stop talking! Stop taking!" The evil shouted. "...I am sorry, but i will not stop talking till you agree to be my friend!" Aphrodite said again, and this made the Evil body to burn up.
"Hahaha! You think you can love? You are just deceiving yourself." The evil said to Aphrodite but she ignored what it said and lean towards the evil to hug it.
"No! Stop! Please stop!" The Evil shouted out loud, but Aphrodite still hug it, and when she hug it, the evil host body began to burn.
"....i hope we can be friends!" Aphrodite softly said as the evil burn entire body burn into ashes.
"....Wow! That was easier than i thought." Aphrodite said to herself and then stand up from the ground. "... That mortal was right! Love do stop battles!" Aphrodite boldly said as she dust off the ashes particles that was in her loyal garment.
