Awakening (1)

The days went by as normal. The attacks were little to none for the last few days as if everyone had finally taken things seriously in regards of the attack that was supposedly happening. I was able to go to work and school like normal. I was finally at peace, but with this much free time...I didn't know how to prepare for the attack.

I just got off my shift and decided to hang out for a while. I went to a park and sat down on a bench and watched the birds flock around and the dogs play with one another. "Maybe I am the weakest of them all...How can I prepare for the attack..? I can't get any stronger than I am now. I've reached my peak.." I said to myself and watched the people walk around with their loved ones and children.

I wanted nothing more but to protect the people of Earth. I am their Savior after all and it is my duty. I wanted to go by my usual day by day life just like everyone else was, but to truly reach that point I needed to be strong enough to even protect the world I swore to protect.

"Maybe I should try to approach Hecate...but I am not strong enough to face against her to prove I'm worthy of seeing Aeon. Maybe...I should see Aphrodite and take her up on the offer.." I said to myself.

I pondered on the idea of using Sex Affinity to grow stronger. It would help me feel more confident in using Godly Transfer and would help me refind my purpose and regain the person I once was. I finally came to a conclusion and stood up to head to my car then drove home.

As I was driving home, I stomped on the breaks, stopping my car from hitting the person standing in the middle of the road. I rolled down my window and was pissed off.

"Hey, dickhead! Get out of the street!" I yelled as I was leaning out the window.

The person looked at me and his light blue eyes shined slightly. I had no idea who this guy was, all I knew was he was wearing a white cloak and had a strange aura to him. He placed his hand on the handle of his katana. He unsheathed his blade and slashed down, sending a cutting wave toward my car. I teleported out the car then watched my car explode after being cut in half.

"Fuck...my insurance isn't gonna cover this shit.." I said and looked at the guy. "Who the hell are you?"

The guy didn't answer me and just got into a battle stance then vanished at high speeds. I scoffed and tracked him by sensing his aura. I dodged his attack from behind and kicked him away then used a burst of speed to appear in front of him at godly speeds. The guy was caught off guard then blocked my attack and grunted as he slid backwards. I looked at the person and glared at him.

"Ready to tell me who you are now?" I asked.

"The name's Urias. Retainer of Xie Bao, I have come to eliminate you!" He said and dashed toward me again. His katana shined a light blue color.

I dodged his attacks and countered his next attack then kicked him to the air then teleported above him, spinning. I struck him with a kick and send him to the ground. A clone of me blasted him away with a red energy beam. I vanished and appeared in front of him again then went for an attack, but he countered my attack and slashed downward. I countered his counter attack then palmed his stomach. His eyes widened and he coughed blood.

"You honestly believed you could come into my world...and attack me without any repercussions? Like I told Omega...I won't accept prisoners anymore..." I said then sent him flying backwards.

He groaned as he crashed through multiple trees and flew into the air. I cloaked myself in my aura and flew after him. I chased after him and boosted in front of him and punched his cheek. My punch stunned him then I kicked him upwards and trapped him in my aura.

"I don't even need my God Form for you..." I said and snapped my fingers then five spheres of red energy appeared behind me.

Chloe looked up from her book, sensing my aura. "Rage Energy..?"

"Master is fighting someone." Floe said as she cleaned her sword.

Urias looked at me and smirked. "They told me about you, you aren't even fully awakened yet. Your bond with your Goddess is rather high and...yet you aren't a full fledged God yet. You're a fool to underestimate me as well, I was only seeing how far you'd take it."

Urias broke out of my aura then took off his cloak and tossed it to the side.

"Now it's time for me to take things seriously. As Xie Bao's best retainer, I must give you my best.." Urias said and kneed my stomach, sending me flying backwards.

He flew after me and lunged himself toward me at invisible speeds and quickly struck me from all directions then used an energy blast to send me crashing to the ground. I landed on the ground and grunted softly. He appeared above me and smirked. His sword shined a bright white color.

"Take this! Flourishing Rush!" He struck me rapidly with his sword and knocked me into the air then proceeded to stab my body with rapid succession then slashed in a circle, blowing me away.

I landed on the ground then slowly stood up. He landed in front of me and chuckled. He looked a bit surprised to see my wounds had fully healed. I chuckled lightly and looked up at him then transformed into my God Form.

"Is that all..?" I asked and cracked my bones.

'Is that all..? I used my best and strongest attack..' Urias thought to himself. 'Tch... Whatever l'll just jump him using my Light Clones.'

Urias created clones of himself using his light energy. I looked at him and got into my battle stance. I had a flashback to five years ago when I had to face off against 1000 Soldiers alone from Alpha's army.

"And now it's my turn to show you my power.." I said and electricity crackled around my body.

"Stage Two..?" Alice asked as she felt my energy as well.

"What is Shida doing..? Who is he fighting..?" Hilda asked.

'He's weak..? His power level is rapidly growing to new heights..' Urias thought to himself. 'He was hiding his true power...'

"Go." I said then vanished at invisible speeds.

Urias looked surprised, feeling a rush of wind blow past him and his clones disappeared. He looked back then grunted heavily as he was struck by an invisible force. He was sent flying backwards then I began to strike him from all directions and appeared above him with a somersault then axe kicked him to the ground. I formed a giant sphere of energy above my hand and threw it down at him. Urias caught the sphere of energy with his hands and grunted as it began to overpower him.

"He's not holding...back..!" Urias grunted.

I snapped my fingers and the ball of energy exploded. Urias yelled as he was sent flying once again. He stopped himself in the air then dodged multiple aura bullets that I shot at him from my finger tips. Urias flew toward me and bellowed then slashed at me. I perfectly dodged his attack then dodged his next flurry of attacks and caught his sword.

"Now it's time for me to show you some of my moves." I said then punched his stomach, causing him to groan and cough blood.

I spun him around and threw him to the ground and teleported in front of him then trapped him in my aura then placed my hand against his chest. My entire arm was surrounded with black and red energy. "Final...Ruination."

I struck him with a powerful one hit strike, and black and red energy surged around the area. Urias was sent flying backwards. He crashed to the ground and bounced back up from the ground then rolled backwards then slid on his side.

Final Ruination, a Forbidden Technique my father taught me that can only be used once per day. It is an attack that instantly kills any target regardless of defenses or if their power level is higher. The attack can't be blocked, but can be dodged and missing the attack can cause me to become very vulnerable to a counter attack.

I panted and reverted to my normal form then fell to one knee. I looked at my arm, noticing how red it had become because of my attack. It would take an entire day to heal, but it's a fair price to pay.

I stood up and sighed. "I was hoping to have a peaceful day without killing anyone. Fuck..."

I just teleported home and appeared at my front door. I walked in and was greeted with Hilda and the others.

"Your arm. You used Father's Forbidden Technique." Hilda said.

"I did and I have to talk to a certain someone to tell him that his retainer is dead." I said.

"So it was an invasion. Even after what the Higher Ups said, they still decide to attack Earth." Ophelia said and sighed. "When will these idiots learn..?"

I shrugged then headed upstairs and went to my office. I walked in and walked to my desk then sat down. I contacted Xie Bao and he answered.

"Found my little surprise huh..? Surprised you were strong enough to handle him." Xie Bao said and smirked.

"Whatever you all have against me, ends now. I'm going to awaken myself and my retainers and grow strong enough to invade you all one by one. If you all don't want to work together to prepare for the attack, I'll just have to unify this system into my rule. Only then will I be able to continue with my normal life..." I said.

"You, take on all of us Combat Gods and unify our System? HA! I would love to see you try." Xie Bao laughed.

"I won't stop there...No. Not only will your world be mine, but also your Goddesses. Godly Transfer will cause them to serve me." I said and stood up. "I'm giving you all an entire year to prepare for MY attack. I won't be losing a single battle, my retainers...will not be losing a single battle. I will become the ULTIMATE Combat God. With my unique Ability...you're all done for."

Xie Bao looked at me and chuckled. "Well then. A year is all I need. I'll inform the others about your...attack."

Xie Bao hung up and I sighed. Aphrodite appeared in my office then looked at me.

"Invading the other 11 Worlds with only a year to prepare? Interesting..~ That means you're finally ready...to indulge in the Godly Awakening process with me?~" She asked.

"Godly Awakening?" I asked.

"There are two phases to awakening. There's the Energy Transfer and the Power and True Potential Awakening. Godly Awakening will awaken your true powers and will even allow you to awaken your retainers' abilities to their highest extent. Just like five years ago...it all starts back with me..~" Aphrodite said.

"I'm still nervous about doing it because I may mess up, but I'm willing to do it. After all I have only a year to prepare and find the best retainers and train." I said.

"I'll help with finding the best retainers..~ Earth is a large place I'm sure we'll find the right people..~ Now come on, let's head to your bedroom~" She said and held my hand.

I nodded and followed her to my room. It was time I finally stop being lazy and actually be a God instead of continuing down the Human route. I'm no longer a human and now is the time to prove it.
