Chapter 147: The Clash of Titans: A Battle of Light and Shadow

Today seemed like just another ordinary morning at the Academy of the Gods. But no, in reality, it was far from it! On this fateful morning, "The Progenitor of the Gods" had issued an unprecedented order: all students in the academy, except the Metal God Hagane no Kami, were to remain in their rooms, doors locked tight. A colossal defensive battle was about to unfold within the academy's sacred grounds. Clad in an extraordinarily resilient armor that gleamed brilliantly under the sun's rays, Hagane no Kami prepared for the onslaught. In his right hand, he wielded an immense sword, sharp and fearsome, while his left gripped a colossal shield forged from a unique metal possessed only by his lineage.

Surrounding him was an army of tens of thousands of Enfields, their eyes blazing with the unyielding fire of fierce determination. These mythical creatures formed into ranks, creating an impeccable battle formation, filling the vast expanse of the academy's courtyard.

Outside the academy walls, a formidable and savage army of Vujalka gathered, led by the academy's traitor, the Serpent God Orochikami no Kami. The Vujalka was under the influence of a dark spell, a curse cast by the King of Demons himself: "A Pact with the Demon." This enchantment enveloped their bodies and weapons in a sinister black aura, bestowing upon them the ability to inflict grievous wounds upon their foes.

With vile words, Orochikami no Kami incited his troops, his voice a venomous hiss. Then, with a sweeping command, he unleashed the Vujalka upon the academy's defenders. The two forces collided with a fury that reached its zenith, chaos erupting within the hallowed grounds. The non-combatant gods remained behind locked doors in their rooms, yet they followed the unfolding battle through their magical artifacts, the divine mirrors.

Simultaneously, the Shadow God Kurogami no Kami, using his shape-shifting magic, disguised himself as an academy student. He descended into the dungeon to free three notorious miscreants imprisoned there: "The Deity of Deception and Cunning" Hokage Masayuki, "The Slayer of Gods" Raiden Kazama, and The Green-Faced Ashura.

The roars of the Enfields echoed through the air, overpowering the chilling screeches of the Vujalka. Under Hagane no Kami's command, the Enfield army surged forward like a tempest of metal, crashing into the enemy ranks. Their powerful wings and razor-sharp claws slashed through the Vujalka's stone-like hides, producing ear-piercing clashes.

In the heart of the battlefield stood Hagane no Kami, his metallic armor shining with the brilliance of the dawn. His colossal sword swung through the air, cleaving any foe that dared approach. Each strike bore the force of earth and sky, sending radiant beams piercing through the dense shadows of dark magic. His voice thundered across the battleground:

"We shall never bow to the darkness! Forward, for the honor and peace of the Academy of the Gods!"

On the opposing side, Orochikami no Kami, his eyes glowing blood-red, coldly directed his Vujalka horde. Standing atop a high rock, wielding a serpent-headed staff, he was surrounded by swirling dark mists. Each time he brandished his staff, the Vujalka were imbued with malevolent strength, becoming even more ferocious, their power seemingly doubled. He roared:

"Destroy them! Leave no one alive! This academy will fall beneath my feet!"

The Vujalka, with their bulging muscles and sharp fangs, charged into the fray like ravenous demons. They used their claws and teeth, augmented by their cursed weapons, to launch savage assaults against the Enfields. But the Enfields, undeterred, deftly maneuvered with their strong wings to evade attacks and retaliate with precise, powerful blows.

Hagane no Kami and Orochikami no Kami faced each other on the battlefield. The Metal God's radiant sword clashed with the Serpent God's dark staff. They hurled themselves at each other, each strike brimming with immense power. Light and darkness intertwined, creating massive explosions that shook the very ground beneath them.

"You will never triumph, Orochikami no Kami!" Hagane no Kami roared, his sword slicing towards his foe's staff.

"We shall see about that, Hagane no Kami!" Orochikami no Kami retorted, unleashing dark magical blasts, only to have them blocked by Hagane no Kami's formidable shield.

The battle raged on throughout the day, but ultimately, the indomitable spirit and strength of Hagane no Kami and the Enfield army prevailed, repelling the Vujalka forces. The defeated Vujalka lay strewn across the battlefield, while the Enfields, though many had fallen, stood resilient.

During this tumult, the Shadow God Kurogami no Kami seized the chaos to successfully liberate the three villains from the dungeon. Disguised as a student, he infiltrated the dark depths and, with his dark magic, unlocked their cells. Hokage Masayuki, Raiden Kazama, and The Green-Faced Ashura, long imprisoned, gazed at Kurogami with a mix of gratitude and lingering resentment. Kurogami, silent and composed, gestured for them to follow him out of the dungeon, vanishing into the shadows.

Returning to the academy, Hagane no Kami and his steadfast Enfield army were met with the twilight sky. He looked out over the horizon, filled with renewed resolve:

"We have won today, but the battle is far from over. We will continue to defend the Academy and the world from these dark forces."

As the sun set, casting a crimson glow over the horizon, the gods of the academy felt a new fire kindling within them, burning brighter than ever.

Snow Sky-Dog was the first to discover that the three notorious prisoners had escaped. Emerging from his room after the battle, he headed straight to report this dire news to his master, "The Progenitor of the Gods."

"Master, those three dangerous criminals have escaped!"

The Progenitor of the Gods listened with a grave expression. After a moment of silent contemplation, he nodded slowly, his eyes reflecting deep concern.

"I foresaw this, Snow Sky-Dog," he spoke, his voice solemn and authoritative. "Kurogami no Kami will not abandon his plans easily. We must be more vigilant from now on."

Snow Sky-Dog bowed, worry etched on his face.

"Master, what should we do next? With Hokage Masayuki, Raiden Kazama, and The Green-Faced Ashura free, we face greater dangers than ever before."

The Progenitor of the Gods gazed far into the distance, where the sunset was fading.

"We need to fortify the academy's defenses and prepare for the impending assaults. But more importantly, we must find a way to thwart Kurogami no Kami's schemes before he can cause further harm."

Hagane no Kami, returning from the battlefield, entered the room with an air of fatigue but unyielding determination. Having overheard the conversation, he approached, his voice steady and resolute.

"We have won today, but it was just the first clash. Kurogami no Kami will not stop until he achieves his goal."

The Progenitor of the Gods nodded in agreement.

"Hagane, we must act swiftly and decisively. The fate of the academy and the three realms rests upon us."

Snow Sky-Dog looked at the two deities before him, his resolve strengthening. He understood that the duty of protecting the academy and opposing the dark forces lay not only on the shoulders of the mightiest gods but on all the students. With unity and courage, they would face every challenge together.

Outside, darkness had settled over the academy, but in the hearts of the gods, a flame of determination and hope burned fiercely. They knew the battle was not over, and greater trials awaited. Yet, with bravery and unity, they believed they would overcome all obstacles.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the shadows, Kurogami no Kami and the freed prisoners were already scheming their next move. His cold smile reflected in his fiery red eyes, filled with ambition. He knew the next battle would be tougher, but with Hokage Masayuki, Raiden Kazama, and The Green-Faced Ashura by his side, he believed his dark plans would soon come to fruition.

The story remained rife with mysteries, and the academy's fate hung in the balance. Could the gods defeat the dark forces and safeguard the world's peace? Their journey had just begun, and the next chapters would reveal secrets and challenges yet to come.
