96 The Mad God Incident - III

The Final Offensive,

Day 2,

Zeus raised his lightning bolt and threw it straight into Angel ranks burning many to crisps, he laughed and shouted, "Charge!" behind him many people cheered and all of them charged straight into enemy lines not really caring about their lives, those were Greek Forces. Zeus blocked a thunderbolt headed his way and threw it right back he was a GOD of thunder for fuck's sake, "Alright who's the genius?!" he asked laughing but received no answer and shrugged once again beginning his rain of thunderbolts. Yes the conflict had gone on for two days straight now, with the battle not coming to a single halt, the numbers were too great and each side had already set up forward camps.

For heaven, it was quite easy considering they were fighting right next to where their forces were the most concentrated, for the Devils it wasn't a hassle because of them planning ahead and setting up bases in Hungary before charging though the loss of the Satan Beelzebub had hit their morale hard, it even enraged Lucifer who killed two archangels as revenge.

The Fallen Angels had adopted more of a hit and run strategy, with them teleporting in in great numbers at random times, wreaking havoc on all sides. What was undeniable was that in this battle most of the powerhouses from each faction were present as such the resulting loss of life was also much greater than before. Thor smashed his hammer into a Satan Class Devil's head blowing it to pieces, "What too 'shocking' for you?" he mocked the Devils who were staring at him shocked at how nonchalantly he had taken apart a Satan Class Devil, but that only lasted for a moment because he got surrounded by multiple Cadre-Class Angels and Devils causing him to sweat nervously, but was it enough to stop him? No it wasn't, he gave off a warcry and charged straight ahead, with the Norse forces behind him.

Tiamat raised her head and breathed out flames while also tearing apart Fallen Angels as per her deal, "*ROOOOAAAARRRRR*." She roared loudly asserting her dominance and continued her killing spree, as for being averse to destruction? This was a war people! No time for that stuff. Susanoo went through Devils, almost as if he was dancing and swept his spear to the front sending out strong waves of water that crushed everything in their path, "How about you guys 'chill' out?!" he shouted.

Apollon looked at him and grinned, "Oh are we doing this now?" he pulled back his hands before sending out waves of sunlight that simply evaporated anything they came across, "How about we turn up the 'heat'?" he shouted. Asahi scratched his cheek?, "Do these guys realize how retarded they sound?" he asked himself before flying away? maybe it was that since he was currently just a black mist. As for the girls? Well apart from Saeko and the three Primordial Demons, the rest of them left this place alone. In Milim's case, her simply moving around resulted in death or in her words "This is boring! They're weak! Every time I move they lose! Umu! I'll play some games now!", Kumara wasn't really keen on fighting anyway it would be a different story if they were strong but they weren't. Liliana and Keiko would just often come and go as they pleased, it wasn't their war after all and it wasn't like Asahi needed any help anyway.

Ophis floated in the sky and emotionlessly stared down at the ongoing war, she tilted her to the side in confusion, what was so fun about this? It was simply noisy something she had found herself caring less and less about lately after she met, "Asahi." she muttered looking at the black mist that was blitzing through the battlefield excitedly observing everything, that was one of her new hobbies developed in the few years that had passed since she started accompanying him, mostly because he was one of her own kind, a being of infinity though his concept far outclassed her own.

And he wasn't someone kind no he was a crazy maniac things everyone would find horrendous and plain disgusting were music and entertainment to him, he was like a child in those situations. He treated everyone impartially except for the girl that had been accompanying him besides her, he clearly held great affection for her that much was obvious, that fact for some reason annoyed her plus these other arrivals too. Asahi was someone who treated Ophis differently, he clearly respected her yes though it wasn't the type of respect born out of fear she was pretty sure he was much much stronger than her though her pride as a Dragon wouldn't let her admit that.

He treated her good, he gave her good food even though it was just to please her at first, he took care of her, he got annoyed when her body was open for all to see and had her change immediately, and the head pats, those things brought her a feeling of joy and she found herself almost always by his side. As someone who had almost always lived in isolation and preferred it, someone showing honest and genuine care for her without consideration for her status was something new and it confused her as to why that made her happy. She slightly tilted her head to the side in confusion, the other people in his group had tried to do similar things but it was different when he did it, it made her feel strange, this was too confusing for her so she shook her head from such thoughts.

Not noticing who she was a Fallen Angel recklessly charged at her aiming to cut her down, she stared at him in curiosity but after a certain distance he all of a sudden stopped moving, that is because a hand was grabbing him. The mist behind him turned into an actual figure, "Guess who~?" he asked cheerfully. "N-No, Please!"

Before slowly tearing the man in two halves and throwing them away, he smiled at Ophis, "You fine?" She nodded at him with a slight smile which confused herself there was no way that crow could have hurt her but even so him protecting her made her happy. He waved at her before once again dissipating and moving away. She again started observing him from the sky but this time she had a slight smile on her usually emotionless face, "How....strange." she muttered.

Lucifer cut through countless angels and fallen angels as he and Michael chased each other across the sky launching attacks at each other with many getting caught in the cross fire and dying, "You're going to die!" Lucifer shouted while laughing. Michael scowled at his brother and launched light spears upon light spears which Lucifer shrugged off like nothing and kept on chasing him. Azazel was waiting for something, they needed both God and Lucifer dead if they planned on working together to defeat the Cataclysm Order, because if those two were alive then chances of cooperation were next to none.

He sighed helplessly dodging several light beams and launching magics at his attackers, he was trying to come up with a way to somehow get rid of them but nothing came to mind. "Oh shit!" he shouted immediately dodging to the side narrowly avoiding the gigantic beam of light headed her way, it was from Tsukuyomi. He chuckled, "She looks young but is older than me? Why couldn't you be a milf?!" he shouted at her causing her to tilt her head to the side in confusion.

As for the Cataclysm Order's forces needing supplies and rest? Well Asahi had opened many rifts to their Head Quarters so combatants could be switched at any time and they trusted him greatly, yes he was a bit no scratch that he was completely crazy but still they had come to trust him a bit after fighting for more than two years as comrades in arms, though Odin was still a bit skeptical of where the guy's loyalties lay. Asahi decided that it was time to enter the stage himself, there was no one here that could bring about destruction and suffering greater than himself and that was what he was about to do.

He raised his hands to the sides and dramatically shouted, "Behold the authority of the Mad God!" as some sort of field expanded from his position enveloping a portion of the entire battlefield, everyone heard that declaration so they were a bit surprised that nothing happened, that is until the madness started, everyone within that field started laughing crazily biting at each other and themselves like animals, screaming in pain yet still continuing their 'crazed' actions. Most of them went into a craze frenzy and started killing everything in sight, if there was nothing they would kill themselves, "Behold he who spreads Insanity!" he shouted laughing maniacally as the ground turned black and numerous eyes started popping out one after the other.

They all locked on to individuals and tentacles shot out of the black ground enveloping many dragging them into the black mass as they disappeared screaming no one knew what happened to them or where they were, and all of a sudden it abruptly came to a halt. Everything got pulled back in and disappeared, Asahi bowed a little bit, "I got a bit too excited it seems, I apologize. Do continue!" he enthusiastically said before disappearing. However his actions had left their mark, leaving everyone shocked and frozen out of primal fear, well until Lucifer forcibly made the Devils resume the attack through his absolute control over them and the battle restarted. Odin stroked his beard, "What was that?" he muttered pondering about what had just happened. Azazel who was near him, directly above him actually the two were just about to fight but were interrupted by 'that'.

Each of the Gods were contemplating what just happened though they weren't shaking from fear or anything they had come across much much more gruesome stuff in their long lives, if that was his authority then what exactly was the pantheon? Azazel rubbed his chin, before his eyes widened in surprise, he recalled a book he had found in a rural fishing villager a long time ago, was that it? No it couldn't be, those things were just fiction. Gabriel stood in place looking at what had just transpired with a pale face, "W-What was that?" she asked no one in particular, however to her surprise she heard a voice behind her, "Hello there."
