Chapter 435: Proclamation (4)

|Fight scenes are always the hardest for me to write compared to internal dialogues and narrations, I think I have one or 2 more busy weeks left, after that I'll be putting in a lot of effort again, this is the last arc, I'll try to fill in every plot hole I can as I'm also already planning my next novel, so I might forget a couple of things as things overlap.|

Perseus POV

Me and Curly engaged in a fight, and sure enough, Anna was right, this guy was given free power by the other gods and it was annoying because, in some aspect, he was better than me.

"Tell me, who are you?"

"The hell do you mean?" he questioned as our blades clashed and released some cool sparks

"Loki, Lucifer, Satan, which one of them are you? I've gotten a recent awakening."

"Ho? And who caused this awakening?"

"Not even gonna bother to hide it?"

"I was inside you f-"

"Pause."

"I was inside you for a long time, my original self went away as my new self was built from the foundation of your soul, even though I am indeed one of those powers, I am not the same god, but I am you."

"This sucks, I can't believe I'm having one of those moments where I'm fighting my inner self."

Without warning, he lunged forward, blade slicing through the air with deadly precision. I parried, the clash of steel reverberating through my bones. His strikes were relentless, each one calculated and aimed to exploit my vulnerabilities. He knew my weak spots, but I also knew how to counter them, so we were just in a never-ending cycle of clashing with each other.

I can't waste my power on him, God is making his way toward me, and I need to protect myself till the gods finish with the sins. Curly continued to aim for my vulnerable spots, but I countered, moving with fluidity born from instinct. The chief fought me with my own moves all the time, this was nothing.

"Figured it out yet?" he asked while blasting a beam of light

"Nah. but I've got a sneaking suspicion."

He then flew backward and used his illusion powers. Towering trees then burst out from the ground. The trees shot upward, their branches reaching for the sky, creating a jungle maze of vibrant leaves and trunks that pierced through the snowy blizzard out of nowhere.

I think he's Loki based on his personality, but at the same time, I can't dismiss the fact that he possesses all my other powers. Suddenly, a jolt of surprise struck me as Phineas launched an unexpected attack out of nowhere. His assault came out of nowhere, catching me off guard. With a flicker of my fingers, threads clashed against an overwhelming force, the impact sending shockwaves through my being. 

Where did he come from and how could I not sense him? Well, the latter might be because of the overwhelming presence of the gods that was exuding everywhere, I can barely differentiate between anyone coming close.

Phineas then donned this armor made of light, and I could sense its power coming from the direction of God, Curly also activated his Satan form and they are both now going all out. Curly also threw away his sword and put on a gauntlet.

"Looks who's here to join the party." Curly gave off a smirk as he then got in a stance, "Anyway, I was always better at using my own body."

He then used the trees and jumped from one to another and bounced around light some sort of hyper cocaine addicted monkey, it was super annoying, but his hits landed, I had to use my sword to counter it and intercept all the attacks.

Our village's dance, it's great when it is used against enemies of this world, but not against these guys who practice much better martial arts styles. I can't win going against these 2 without going all out, but...you know what, I'll leave my decisions to my future self to deal with God.

Hmmm...I can say something to make my trump card sound even better, the other Perseus told me that he did it, but the author might get angry at me...well, he already got angry at the first one, and the second one might get an exemption.

|...what are you planning?|

Don't worry about it?

|What are you planning?|

"Bankai!"

|Manager! How much is a glock?! What?! ...Since when were there laws against murdering your own character?!|

3rd Person POV

Perseus, determined to turn the tide, activated his trump card. He fused with his sword, Jonathan, a weapon forged from Mjolnir, inheriting its thunderous power. The celestial energies merged, transforming Perseus into a force that even the other gods were intimidated.

The air crackled with energy around him, arcs of lightning wrapping his form in a dazzling display of raw might as Perseus was clad in a cloak of crackling lightning. Every lightning bolt that shot down from the sky, sent shockwaves through the battleground and caused a roaring thunder that boomed throughout the area, deafening his enemies.

His presence was commanding, dominating the area with an overwhelming aura of power. The ground trembled beneath his steps, a manifestation of the sheer force he wielded. Perseus vanished from sight, reappearing behind Phineas and Curly in an instant. His presence was a fleeting blur, a display of speed that left even the gods bewildered.

Before the 2 could react, Perseus's fist collided with an unstoppable force. As Perseus's fist connected with an otherworldly velocity, a resounding boom echoed through the battleground.

The sheer speed of his movement generated a sonic wave that rippled across the area, worse, it was so fast that the sonic wave only appeared later, and as for the other 2 who got hit...

The impact resonated through the battlefield, sending shockwaves of power rippling outward. Phineas and Curly were hurling through the air and blowing through the forest and had landed explosively on the ground, and they did not get up.

Rowan and Reiner, who were watching this from far away through a binocular can only marvel at such a sight.

"This...this is similar to the demon lord." Rowan commented
