108. The Divine Cleansing

NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO NYTRI

Back at the teleport terminal, a group of gods arrive to see the place covered in purple mist. The teleport terminal which seems to be like a covered market with counters inside and stalls around are empty. Deep into the room cannot be seen because the mist is too thick, the gods observe the mist.

The gods are right before the building filled mist. One takes a bold step to enter. When he entered the mist but didn't go far, he moves his hand through it trying to see what it is. "Hmmm, this is not different from air." The god(Looks pretty old in robes) speaks, "There's no poison either. What could this really be?" he takes a step and freezes. He looks at his hands turning it over to see his white hair on his hand turning black, he's in shock.

"WHAT?!" The god is horrified, he turns around to leave, "No!" In a few seconds, the god tries to leave the mist. The god slowly loses his divinity and becomes human, just an old human. With his arm stretched for help, his gray hair slowly turns black. He then loses all facial hair while shrinking in size to a teenager, he moves his feet and slowly turns into a child.

"Save me!" the god speaks turning into a toddler. His other feet lands and he's now a baby on his feet, yet he keeps shrinking. He shrinks until there's nothing left....

The gods watch in horror, an ancient god in power and years. In an instant, regressed to a baby and out of existence. "AARGGHH!" A goddess screams and falls on her butt, the gods close to the mist immediately jump back with sweat running down their faces.

"H…H….He just….died!" A god speaks trembling. A sound of a heart beating comes from the building. *THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP* they gaze at the building in fear and another sound follows, the sound of slow breathing. With each heartbeat, the dust is blown away slightly but noticeable.

A goddess points trembling at the entrance of the building to the silhouette of a figure, "W…What the heck is that?!" everyone looks at a dark humanoid figure standing at the doorway.

A god who seems to be the strongest around speaks, "WHO ARE YOU?!....What are you?" everyone looks at the figure hoping for an answer. The god speaks, "Can it not communica- "

"Where are they…" An eerie like breathing comes from the mist. The voice sent a chill down their spines.

"Where are who?!" The same god musters courage and speaks, his thoughts. "If this thing is capable of reasoning, we can resolve this without having to fight it. I've never seen a monster like this before, killing a god in mere seconds.....we have to avoid a battle no matter what!"

"Arcturus." The mist speaks like a whisper in eerie voice and the name echoes. "Helena." The same repeats for this name, "And Zareth!" when the last name was mentioned, ice starts to cover the building from the dark figure towards the entrance.

A god of ice jumps back due to the sudden decrease in temperature, he looks at the ice with fear. "How?" he speaks staring at the ice, "Even as the god of ice, I can't resist the cold..." He looks at the figure at the center, "How is it able to create ice without magic?!" the surrounding gods heard his words.

A goddess stares at the figure, "Tch, bring those 3 here!" The gods turn to look at her in shock and she speaks, "Clearly this monster is beyond us. I've tried manipulating time but it's no use…." Oh, she's a goddess of time. "Not even my eyes can perceive past the mist."

The dark figure looks at them in thought, "*Sigh* This just got boring quickly," It's Nytri, "I'll leave a clone here and gather something. The kids left this area to me." The dark figure in the mist splits as another figure jumps out before the gods but the speed...the speed Nytri is moving is too much for the gods to even feel her. *WHOOSH* just the sound, no gusts. As if nothing happened.

Nytri spreads her wings flying at full speed, she reaches a building and makes a barrier before her. She hits the barrier and she stops, she turns to the ground and shoots with the speed she came with. She quickly falls towards a building with a pointy thing on the roof. Nytri breaks into Mist and phases through the walls, Nytri assembles in a corridor hovering in the air with her wings moving slowly behind her.

Nytri observes the people frozen in time who seem to be running, "Odd…..Even mum could catch me at this speed, and no one looked frozen." She appraises them, "The strongest is level 103…..the strongest person I got through Information magic is level 199, Arcturus. My level is over 700 so I see no reason to be cautious...However, I won't even underestimate a worm." She grins and floats through the corridor.

She passes one door after another, "Something good, something good, something good. Ohh, a blacksmith….or divine smith I guess." She floats into the room, she appraises the item, "Nothing good, moving on." She exits moving through the rooms.

Nytri passes by the kitchen, then she comes back. "Something good!" she sees recipe sheets neatly aligned on a shelf. She floats into the kitchen, "Recipes for meat, pastries, veggies? Bleh." She burns that last one, "Hmmm, recipe for…" her face darkens, "...they're eating human flesh….. and an ingredient is the chil..." Nytri breathes out and crumbles the sheet.

She looks at the chef who seems to be sliding or slipping, she appraises him. "….That's why they demand sacrifices... and fools give it to them." The floats right before the chef, she blinks and the chef's speed increases till he's moving at the same speed as Nytri.

"Huh?" the chef is confused, "What is goi- ARGH!" Nytri lifts him up in the air and is pulling on his limbs with her will alone. "PLEASE STOP!" The chef begs, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" he's in pain.

Nytri looks into his eyes and her thoughts, "During the last war, one of the monsters managed to get into my head with is tentacles." Tendril-like wires extend from Nytri's hand and falls on the chef's head, "I'll see what's in his mind." Nytri reviews his memories and she pales at what she sees, some even make her face darken. Nytri flinches, she bends over, "BLEGGHH!" She vomits on the floor. "YOU SICK BASTARDS!" Nytri pulls his limbs apart and the chef dies.

Nytri is seething with rage, "Change of plans everyone," She speaks to the Azurians, "Slaughter the gods. Slaughter every one of them!" Nytri exits the kitchen, the ground before her is covered in circuits. Automata start to rise from it though these ones look purposely for war. The automata run like lights across the halls killing everything.

Nytri notices that Arcturus and his faction have arrived before the building, Nytri grits her teeth so hard sparks start to fly. White flames puff out like smoke for her mouth, her change from dark brown to symbols with a tinge of red. "Switch." Nytri speaks, she switches place with the clone and now she's at the building.

Arcturus and Helena stare at the figure wondering what it could be. Arcturus whispers to Helena, "Darling, do you know what that thing is?"

Helena shakes her head, "I've never seen anything like this before….Could the figure be an illusion?" Helena speaks to the mist, "How do you know our names? Why did you call for us?"

"To punish you two." Nytri speaks with an eerie voice glaring at them.

Helena repeats with surprise, "Punish?"

Arcturus speaks, "For what reason? I've met you before in my life."

Helena speaks, "So because of a personal grudge," Nytri repeats though low, "Personal?" And Helena continues, "You killed all these innocent people?" Nytri repeats, "Innocent?" Helena speaks, "As my husband said, we've never met you before. What have we done to you to warrant this?"

Nytri speaks with an eerie voice and a growl in the background, "That bastard of a son is one. And you wanted to find and torture me."

Arcturus opens his eyes wide, "Could you be N-"

"Yes, I'm Nytri." Nytri speaks, the one who'll make you regret being born!"

Arcturus grins, "So you're the one who hurt my son." He gains confidence for some reason. "A lowly beast like you think your tricks can scare me?!" Maybe he didn't see the god die, plus he was pretty scared before he know her name. "I'll make you suffer fo- "

*BOOOM* Something falls in between them, Arcturus looks closer to find out what it was. He's shocked, "Son?" he sees an automaton on a bloody Zareth, Arcturus is shocked. "WHa- " The automaton throws Zareth before Nytri, Zareth lifts his head. The sensation he felt in the dungeon a couple of hours ago, is right before him.

"Nytri?" Zareth whispers in shock. "ARRGGHHHH!" He grabs his head and screams looking at the figure with despair.

Arcturus fires 2 orbs into the mist, "Don't you dare harm my son! If you hurt him, I'll kill you a 1000 times!" the orbs enter the mist but no explosion.

The figure tilts its head looking at Arcturus, "Yes…." Nytri speaks, "Your deaths won't satisfy me in the least." Nytri looks at her hands in thought, "I can create space and alter as I wish…..So I'll create a dimension."

EP bursts from Nytri like a tsunami daring to engulf the entire world. A god feels the EP coming from Nytri and speaks in horror, "HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE SO MUCH MANA?!" Nytri spreads her arms and space seems to twist and twirl as if being torn apart. Nytri compress the space and clasps her hands together *THUD* the sound and shockwave leaves her.

The dark figure shows its teeth grinning, "It worked…..a dimension for you to spend eternity in suffering!"

Arcturus glares at Nytri and Helena makes a face at Arcturus that says 'SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTH AND BEG!' but Arcturus speaks, "A vermin. Torture me? I'll destroy this trickery of yours an- " A hand grabs his and Helena's heads and presses it to the ground. Arcturus struggles to speak, "I….I….I can't move!" The hands grabbing them to the floor is Nytri's clone which she switch places with.

Nytri's clone is so kind to let them see her beautiful face, face that's itching to kill...… "Just to snuff out all hopes you might have." Nytri speaks in an eerie voice just like the figure in the mist, "I'll show you just how much of a flea you are. All kill all the gods in this pantheon and move to the next pantheon. I'll wash the filthy streets with their blood."

Nytri's eyes spread looking into Arcturus and Helena's eyes, "But don't worry about them…" She grins scaring them, "Yours will be much...accommodating. Hehehehehe"

A god speaks from behind Nytri's clone=Clone 1, "You got the people you wanted! So why us?!"

Clone 1 turns her head to look at him from the corner of her eye with a blank look, "I hate cannibals. The body is the one thing my mother taught me to never desecrate, not mine or others."

A dryad goddess begs trying to survive, "B….But I don't eat humans! I've never eaten meat!"

"But you live with those who do." Nytri speaks, "When a fire breaks out….Do you expect it to avoid your house just because you don't use fire?" the goddess is horrified, she feels her bones chilling and her legs getting wet….oh accident.

Clone 1 throws Arcturus and Helena to Nytri mist. Whips come out of the mist and ties Arcturus and Helena up, Zareth who seems to have gone crazy is also tied up. The whips stretch and catch all of Arcturus' faction.

A god plead, "Please spare me! I'll do anything you want!" A goddess begs, "Money, fame, luck?! I'll give you everything so please-" A god begs, "Spare me! I'm worth more alive than dead!" another goddess begs, "I'm not even in the same faction as them!" she was running.

Clone 1 speaks, "The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Also, I don't intend on killing the idiot's friends and family." Some have hope on their faces, "That'd contradict my intentions earlier. Suffering for eternity."

Clone 1 is covered in ARMORED SHELL, she takes her BEAST MODE FORM and activates MEGA MORPH grown to a size of 300 meters. She shouts, "ROOAAARRR!" literally. Restrained laugh is heard high in the clouds, a certain bird full of ego is holding back his laughter.

Clone 1 lifts her tail and slams it into the ground causing massive shockwaves and an earthquake. She lifts her foot and stomps down EARTH STOMP skill, the entire floating island is split in 2.
