VS Ares

The military forces of Olympus tried to intercept the missiles, however, once they got near them, the missiles suddenly teleported about thirty meters forward, dodging the soldiers.

Even though they were able to catch up with some of them, most of them hit their intended targets which were important governmental and technological facilities, ensuing multiple large explosions throughout the whole city.

The commanders were shocked at this sight as even though their soldiers couldn't prevent the missiles from landing, those government buildings and other important facilities shouldn't have taken any damage from such measly firepower, "Huh!? Why!? Why didn't the defense system activate!? You there! Go contact the Security Bureau and the Magic Bureau! Ask for their explanations!"

Mass panic ensued and the citizens of the city started running towards safety or tried to regroup with their loved ones. Although they were just normal citizens of Olympus, they're still denizens of the Supernatural World so they can easily defend themselves from the falling debris. However, they didn't expect that the city would take any substantial damage, which caused them to panic more than expected, causing more injuries from magic misfires than the explosions themselves.

Although the defense forces were confused at what was happening, that didn't stop them from finding Kisuke's exact location and disabling his holographic projection. Immediately deploying hundreds of their ranks via teleportation, they surrounded Kisuke's little island.

But instead of preparing for their arrival or trying to escape, they were shocked to find that the terrorist is still casually taking back his missile launchers without any hint of urgency. In fact, they can clearly hear him actually humming a tune of delight which made them incredibly angry, "Surrender yourself! Don't make this harder for the both of us if you still want to live!" A man with a mustache stepped out.

But even with him acting tough, the man didn't let his men attack and just formed a formation around Kisuke. He and his superiors realized that the deactivation of the defense system might be another individual's work or there could be some traitor amidst their ranks. They wanted to find the rat first before fully confronting Kisuke.

Aside from that, they are already aware of what happened in the Underworld and how Kisuke forced Hades to escape. He's aware that they are no match against him, but as a soldier of this realm, he's not allowed to show any weakness. Not confronting Kisuke, for now, is one way to gain more time to gather their forces and maybe get a god's assistance.

Kisuke didn't say anything and just continued cleaning up his launchers while the soldiers around him that were still increasing in number also didn't do nor say anything further.

A few minutes later, Kisuke finally addressed the man with a mustache that was leading them, "When will a God come out?" At this point, the soldiers around him were already in the thousands and still increasing. Despite that, the nonchalant attitude of Kisuke didn't change.

"They don't have time for someone like you." The commander simply answered while hoping for them to come. Noting that the formation was already complete, he signaled his men to start. A second later, Magic Power started overflowing from all the soldiers as they activated a huge spell that would trap and try to kill Kisuke.

If Kisuke can't stop more than half of them to stop channeling their Magic Power, the spell would fully activate. With that in mind, the commander became confident after noting Kisuke's inaction.

However, contrary to his expectations, the atmosphere suddenly changed as a cold wind suddenly brushed the backs of each soldier. The commander's heart, in particular, started palpitating in nervousness but he couldn't find the source of this bad feeling.

Nevertheless, he figured it out soon after.

'So they won't easily come out, huh? I guess that's fair since most of them are big balls of pride.' While thinking of that, Kisuke unlocked the spell that was stopping the growth of his Reiatsu-Ki and released it on his surroundings.

In an instant, all the soldiers surrounding him had a jumpscare as a sudden unbearable pressure came weighing down on them. While they were trying to figure out what was happening, more than half of them started falling from the sky unconscious, while the rest were pushed down to their knees as they tried their best to resist. But it wouldn't be long before they succumbed to it and suffered the same fate as the other half.

The commander, on the other hand, couldn't care less about the broken formation as he could only stare in horror at the grinning man in front of him, "Y-y-y-you monster..."

"My~ Thank you~" Kisuke giggled, "As a terrorist, that's nice to hear~"

A split second later, however, Kisuke's smile disappeared as he looked in a certain direction and saw a golden light rushing towards him. Partially changing his right arm into Hollow form, Kisuke thrust his fist three times towards it and released three condensed Reiatsu-Ki bullets. One of the signature skills of the Arrancars, the Bala, hit the golden light consecutively and created three explosions.

However, Kisuke was only able to change its trajectory before it resumed homing towards him again.

Kisuke then took out Benihime in her Shikai form and waved it towards the incoming golden projectile, releasing a huge crimson energy wave. The colliding forces resulted in an enormous explosion that covered the sky and blew away all of the soldiers surrounding Kisuke.

Kisuke wanted to say something but he stopped, placing his blade to his side, blocking the golden greatsword that almost cut him in half. Kisuke was thrown sideways and immediately recovered his stance midair.

However, a large man in a golden and white full plate armor and helmet appeared behind him and slashed the golden greatsword towards Kisuke, splitting him in half.

But the man in armor immediately brought his greatsword behind him and blocked the thrust of a blade before Kisuke's 'corpse' in front of him popped like a balloon.

"My~ I certainly didn't expect that a proud God like you would use a sneak attack~ That's unfair, you know~" Kisuke chuckled behind the man in the armor.

In response, the man in the armor used his overpowering strength to swing his greatsword, forcing Kisuke to step back, "Hmph... And you sure do have some thick skin to discuss fairness with me." A baritone voice came from him.

"It's one of my proud assets, God of War, Ares-sama~", replied Kisuke.

The man in armor, Ares, turned towards him and said, "I never thought that someone out there would be proud of their shamelessness."

Standing straight up, Ares released his Divine Aura, offsetting the pressure that Kisuke was releasing, "Get away from this place. I'll deal with him."

The commander of the army stood up in a panic, "Y-yes! Men! Retreat!"

While the silent standoff between the two was happening, the army hurriedly retreated towards the city which was finally able to reactivate its defense system.

After being left alone, the first one to make a move was Ares as he intensified the Divine Aura he was emitting to the point that Kisuke could visualize the gold and red thick aura around him.

"Hmmph!" With a snort, Ares' aura spread wide and Kisuke immediately noticed the effect it caused, 'He locked the space with just his aura? It looks like the usage of Flash Step would be limited too... Impressive.'

While Kisuke was observing what was happening, Ares suddenly swung his greatsword with a grunt, releasing an enormous golden shockwave towards Kisuke.

Kisuke's expression became serious and he immediately put forward his blade, "Chikasumi no Tate (Blood Mist Shield)"
