In An Unknown Place,
A temple built in the darkness, upon reality itself with everything below it. It was dark and yet everything could be seen, in the middle sat an old man that was looking on with interest. He sighed, "I wonder when when Verum is going to realize what he actually is?" Azathoth muttered out while watching Asahi summon a servant with a gleam in his eyes, his son was an idiot if he couldn't realize that much.
"But then again *Yawn* the others are idiots too!" he shouted waving his hands around, "They won't even talk to their Dad! Hmph!" he pouted and watched on, Darkness was always in that stupid dimension! Magnum was always destroying and Nyarlathotep was always conspiring! seriously they should learn a thing or two from the Yog boy! "Look at Magnum's son! Stupid children!" He raised his hands in protest and sighed again.
"Yo gramps!" someone walked up behind him and stood right behind him with a smile on his face, he was smoking something, Azathoth turned back, "Oh it's you.." he muttered and continued watching. "Tell me is my son an idiot?" he curiously asked Yog Sothoth who was standing behind him, Yog Sothoth shrugged, "Who knows?" even he couldn't follow his uncle's train of thought.
"Oh you did not just say that!" Azathoth shouted at him, their was one thing which Yog Sothoth was known for everywhere and that was his god damn omniscience! "Right Omniscience, well it'll be soon." Yog sothoth said while laughing at the idiotic joke he pulled, he was the only one with omniscience that could follow Verum. Even if his uncle was younger than him.
Azathoth's eyes widened before he chuckled, "Oh that's ironic! He summoned exactly what they were supposed to fight!" he said watching on with interest, Asahi had summoned True Archer, Alcides! Yog Sothoth sat down next to him and seemed to be in thought, "I believe he already caught on to it after restraining Nyarlathotep, otherwise he really is in an idiot but I don't think that's the case since he does have a brain."
"Bah! If it was that easy to become one of us all those stupid reincarnators running around would be the same!" Azathoth shouted smashing his fist down making everything tremble even though it was a light smash, seriously! If one could become an Eldritch Progenitor by just devouring several worlds then what were they famous for?!
They were the Ultimate Gods! Capable of destroying an infinite amount of realities just with a damn thought! ROBs? Hah! What could those weaklings do?! "Besides! We're- what do they call it? Right! Beings that exist on a scale of infinite dimensions! Even the mortals know that a being beyond the 3 dimensions doesn't 'just' come about like a coincidence!" Azathoth said with agitation in his voice, that child was supposed to be the strongest among his children and yet he didn't realize that!
Yog Sothoth who was silent all this time burst out laughing, he realized exactly what happened here, "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Even dad doesn't have the guts to do this!!" he shouted between laughter making everything around him tremble from the sheer presence! Azathoth curiously looked on wondering what was going on. Yog Sothoth wiped a fake tear and calmed down, "He's fucking with ya Gramps!" he shouted and shook his head, he was in awe of what his uncle had dared to do.
Azathoth went silent, no everything went silent he looked at Yog Sothoth, "Oh?" he said as even the place outside reality started shattering to pieces. Yog Sothoth hurriedly stood up and ran away, "Oh shit! Well hope uncle can survive this!" he laughed and retreated while wondering what in the name of himself was going on here, after all he distinctly remembered his own father kic- *ehem* gently waking up Azathoth. He chuckled, "I see." he was trying to be the strict father! Before Asahi/Verum Infinitum too became like Magnum Innominandum or Darkness in other words, rebellious children!
Azathoth raised his hand and grinned madly as a giant eye opened right behind him, "Cthugha, you're free to hunt." he said, Cthugha hated the Outer Gods because they trapped her in chains and given the opportunity she would hunt them down ruthlessly, whether she could do shit however was another topic entirely. She roared, a veritable ball of flames with numerous eyes on it was let free and blasted off. Even though Azathoth knew she wouldn't be able to do anything, Asahi/Verum was a newborn he couldn't have tapped into his actual power...probably. He laughed madly and sat down again, "Son of mine, I wonder how you'll fare when I 'fuck' with you." but then he realized something, didn't he restrain Nyarlathotep?! Shit! It was too late! Well hopefully Cthugha would live she was a cute 'dog' after all.
Back to ROR World,
The Gods had lost match after match, three consecutive losses! It was something unbelievable and completely unprecedented! After all how could the Gods lose to mere humans? They were weak bugs, their only rightful place was beneath the Gods. After all the Gods symbolize power and the peak, an unbeatable existence! The what was happening now? They were being beaten!
But all was not lost after all, their were to be a total of 14 matches with victor being the one with seven wins. The humans still needed 4 more victories to ensure their victory, and even after that they would only get spared the Gods would still reign supreme! If not this time, then maybe ten million years later, they were immortal after all!
The humans were in high spirits because of their victories while the Gods were agitated but enough on that, it was now time for the Fourth Bout of Ragnarok! Heimdall raised his horn up and shouted, "Now! After the Gods have suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of the humans!" he was a commentator and as such was to be neutral in his opinion even if it made some of the Gods angry.
"The one aiming for revenge is this guy!" He shouted excitedly pointing at one of the entrances, the sounds of wheels could be heard as a giant of a man rode in on a chariot. "The valiant warrior who pummeled into submission the Nemean Lion and Cerberus, the Hound of Hell!" He had orange hair with red marks all over his body, in his hand was a club with the head of a lion which was resting on his shoulder.
Heimdall continued, "When he completed the twelve labors, he became Half-God, Half-Man!" The Chariot stopped as the man got off the area behind him illuminated by light. "He is the envoy of justice who shines light upon all of Earth and Heaven!" He shouted excitedly as both humanity and the gods caught on to who the person standing in the ring was. He pointed his club forward and stepped forward, his footstep heavy making the ground slightly tremble.
"An unrivaled, valiant warrior!" He raised the club up as assurance to all those who stood behind him, he would win this of that he had no doubt and he was sure the one he would face would be a valiant warrior as well after all all the women that had previously fought respected their opponents, Carrera had responded to Thor's strongest with her own strongest, Milim had fought valiantly no petty tricks involved she was just too overbearing and strong and Testarossa outclassed Poseidon in terms of both power and skill and as such Poseidon lost. That was certainly respectable!
He rested the club, his hands on it's grip, "Hercules!!" Heimdall shouted as the Gods erupted into cheers, Hercules was no doubt one of the strongest as well as one of the most popular Gods. "He's so cool!" a female one shouted with both her hands on her face, while the children who particularly like him cheered on, "You can do it, Lord Hercules!"
Heimdall once more raised his head up, "And the representative for the human is this guy!!" he shouted pointing at the other entrance, the information he had gotten was unbelievable and sounded like bullshit but it was his job and so he would make the announcement. Thundering footsteps could be heard as someone started walking out.
"He hates the Gods! He loathes the Gods!" he shouted looking on, "Born to Zeus and a human woman! He too is Half-Man, Half-God!" He announced his voice ringing around making everyone wonder who exactly was coming from the human side this time around. "The twelve labors performed by him he considers great sins, atrocities! He regrets it and it frustrates him!"
He was more than two and a half meters tall, with an immensely muscular body. His appearance was beyond human, as he looked more like a statue of a god, though his face showed that he was human and had an unknown softness to it. Long hair flowed down his back much like Hercules himself though his was black in color. "His original name taken away! And a new name was forced upon him to appease the whimsical Gods!"
He looked around at everyone in the arena before his eyes landed on the Gods, his eyes held unbridled fury for those who had taken away everything from him yet they also held respect for the man who was to be his opponent. He looked towards Asahi who was sitting with a blonde woman and gave a slight bow of respect, he respected Asahi that was because the man had given him a chance to fight and rebel against the Gods and truly fight for the humans.
"Yet his strength is undeniable! Nothing stands in his way! All is crushed and made to submit! The man who even during life was said to rival the Gods! He has long thrown away the name given to him by the Gods." Heimdall shouted while the man locked his gaze onto Hercules he could feel divinity and that enraged him. "The strongest and most famous greek Hero, Alcides!!!" He announced as the humans also burst into cheers while the Gods looked on in disbelief, how was this possible?! Two of the same people?! That was impossible! But then looking at them there was nothing common between them as such they concluded that it was fake, a dumb fake! After all if he was God why would he fight against them. Humans and their trick, they had now resorted to using fakes and imposters! Truly pitiful creatures.
