90) Poseidon has returned

...

3rd Pov

In a huge stadium where one could see divine and mortals sitting separately from each other, one can see the tense expressions of humans and Gods, the score of humans and gods had become equal, and with a single win humanity can get a lead on top of Gods, something that concerned Mankind's survival and dignity of Gods, naturally warrened their full attention.

" Finally it's complete", Hades said, his trident got completely covered in blood and," Assemble", commanded the God of Death, and his trident transformed into a spear becoming stronger than before. He thrusted his spear towards Qin, the sheer speed of his attack obliterated the floor around it, creating cracks, Qin tried to block Hades' attack yet, he was unable to do so, leaving a gaping wound on his shoulder.

" As the Elder brother, I shan't be defeated", Hades said with a smile on his face, the name of the Hades started resounding through the entire stadium, Gods were cheering for the King of Netherworld, God of Death, the eldest of the Greek Olympus Brothers, Heimdall quickly continued with his commentary," In One Swift Strike the king of Netherworld has pierced through the Defense of King of Men!!!"

Hades took a breath, ready to strike again," Take pride in King of Men, you have made me resort to use Desmos itself", he said, meanwhile after a small bicker between Qin and Alvitr, they decided to give their all, the form of the Valkryie started changing, and a sword appeared much to everyone's surprise.

" Listen God of Death! I am King, and King only takes pride in protecting in his people, thus I will protect my people at any cost!", said Qin, Hades replied," Is that so? Very well, ready yourself! Let's tear through his very heart! Desmos!", the God of Death thrusted his spear once more, the sword and spear struck each other.

This time the attack of God of Death overpowered Qin's and severed his arm off, Qin Shi Huang fell back with a thud, the breath of the audience stopped, while Gods erupted in a thunderous cheer the next moment, Humanity fell in despair, Hades sighed,' I have fulfilled my promise-brother ', the visage of Poseidon being remnant in his eyes.

" It seemed that it's over! B-But the King of Men stands again! This time with a severed hand!!", as if destiny played a joke on him in the voice of Heimdall, some gods wanted to bash the midget's head, as his words didn't bring relief. Qin Shi Huang barely stood up again and took his stance, his intention to use Chi-You Sword Armor Form once again. 

" I take pride in the fact, that I was able to fight you", Hades said before charging once more, the breath of Gods and Humans once more stagnated as Hades and Qin clashed, the figure of Qin was pushed back, he quickly used Tortoise Ripple much to everyone's shock, his move lessened the force of Desmos, the figure of Hades fell forward, his eyes widened, as with a second strike Qin cleaved through his spear.

At this moment as if time had stopped, Hades could see the Qin's sword slowly cleaving through his spear, his emotions still wrecked but he knew he would lose, it was apparent to him. " Fool", a voice echoed in his mind," Didn't you knew I am not the type who will like others avenging me?", his weapon shined, the part of the trident shined brightly, the Desmos that was almost broken off, it grew again, and transformed into a new Trident.

" Go for it", he heard the voice, Hades could remember the voice of any time, anywhere, as for how? He didn't care, he followed the instruction, his muscles clenched, and taking more out of his exhausted body on the brink of death he thrusted forward, his new Trident broke Qin's sword and pierced through his chest.

" T-That was magnificent", Qin said as blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, " It was a strike befitting of True King", Qin barely uttered the words as his body fell with a thud," Forgive me, Alvitr-My people", he muttered, Alvitr hugged him," Fool! Idiot! Look at them!!", she turned his head towards the audience, Qin's eyes widened looking at the Humanity saluting him.

His gaze stayed on his mother for a moment," I-I am glad, that I was able to become a True King Moth-",his voice stopped as he died, and his figure crumbled into pieces. No God cheered even if they won, they looked at the humanity's expression, their salute to their king. But that wasn't important," Ahh?!!", Heimdall screeched as he looked at the figure appearing suddenly beside Hades.

" P-Poseidon?", Hades muttered, his face full of shock," Is I am seeing right?!! Who is the one pretending to be Poseidon?!!", shouted Ares, no one believed for a moment that it was Truly the Poseidon, as he had gone to Niflhel after dying, in simple words his very soul was destroyed and reincarnation or resurrection was impossible.

Next moment Poseidon raised his eyes, and a chill spread throughout the place," Thi-This aura! This chill! It is unmistakable!! It's Poseidon's!!", a God said from his seat," How?! How the heck is he alive?!", Goll asked with disbelief, looking at her sister only made her fill a chill, the face of the eldest of Valkyries had turned and twisted in anger and disbelief, the grief for the loss of Qin was visible on her face, and even hatred was added to the mix.

Hades barely stood as he looked at the glowing eyes of his brother, next moment he received a strong punch in his guts, that almost made him fell unconscious and he coughed blood," This for fucking acting like a retard! Who the fuck talks with his opponent during battle and stops despite not finishing him for Good?!!", Poseidon shouted, his voice laced with anger and concern.

Hades was still shocked, and it took a time for him to register Poseidon's words, and the moment he understood his words did the God of sea pulled his hand back and again punched in the guts of the God of Death, who could almost feel that he would be dead the next moment ironically, and again the voice of Poseidon rang in his ears," This is for fucking trying to avenge me! Do you think I will hug you and moved to tears knowing you decided to fight to death to avenge my death?!"

Hades vomited blood and saliva, and then barely managed to look at Poseidon," Haha, You see as an Elder bro-", he was again met with a punch in his guts interrupting his words," To delve in the battle of Titans alone, to do everything according to your own accord, being selfish and calling it a duty of Elder brother- seriously, you are such an hassle."

Hades almost fell on the ground if not for the support from Poseidon, he remained silent for a moment in fear of getting punched in his guts again, and then spoke with nervousness," C-Can I get some treatment first?", he feared he might pass away to Nilfhel in the most embarrassing way in the History of Gods. Poseidon looked at the group of female Angels who had brought a stretcher and waited meters away, in fear of incurring his wrath, he said," Unnecessary, I shall heal you myself."

Next moment under everyone's disbelief a green light shined on Hades' body, his wounds healed up at a rapid pace, and in no time his body was free of any injuries or wounds that it had a few seconds before. " Impossible!", Odin stood up from this Throne, even Zeus' body stopped, Shiva who was watching the scene on TV froze as well.

" Di-Di-Di-Di-Did Lord Poseidon's Divinity just affected a God?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Heimdall screamed involuntarily, his voice being heard by everyone. " H-How?", Hades said, not able to convey his current emotions," Compared to me returning from nearly my soul being erased, this is more shocking to you?", the sarcastic voice of Poseidon reached his ears.

Hades took a deep breath and nodded pushing all of his thoughts away, for a moment he wanted to pay his respects again to the fallen Qin but fearing that might result him receiving another punch in his guts, he decided to not do it. " Give me the mike midget", Poseidon said, Heimdall trembled and quickly running from his pedestal he stopped before the God, knelt and fearfully handed him over the mike.

" How the fuck you weakasses doing huh?", Poseidon said, his temperament and tone of his voice being slightly different from what they knew," 4-4, even after this score you remain deaf?", his words made the gods silent, none dared to raise their head in front of the God of the Gods, The Tyrannical King of the Sea.

" Tch, Gods are perfect, Gods are above humanity, so tell me?!!!! Why there are four wins stacked against us?!!!", he shouted, his words rippled through every God. In the Vip Seat of the Norse Gods, a voice rang out," Damn it, what is he doing?", Huginn said, and Munnin asked, " Are we sure he is Poseidon?", he was still perplexed. Loki who standing beside them chuckled, and said," No doubt about it, that eyes which could strike fear in the Gods themselves, belongs to a very few individuals, and he is Poseidon."

" But it isn't what matters!", Odin spoke surprising both the ravens," He resurrected- He became the first to ever resurrect from the Nilfhel, which breaks the entire Balance as we know, and he just showed that he had Divinity of Healing and could exert it on a God", he said, his eyes narrowed and terrible Aura started coming from him.

" Uncle surely you jest, we all know that Divinity in raw form can never effect a God, only by using Divine Techniques could it effect other Gods, for us it has been a few days, but maybe it had be like a few quintillion years for him?", Loki said twisting his head, Odin became silent for a moment and said," Indeed, what you make does makes sense", hearing the Chief God admitting Loki's words for once caused both the ravens to gasp in shock.

Meanwhile, in Greek's Vip Area, Zeus giggled," Ohoh!! It seems Poseidon has changed more than expected!! Still to return from Nilfhel?!", his eyes narrowed at the end. Ares was shocked as well and decided to remain silent, till he felt a tremble beside him, and looked to find Adamantite's leg trembling, he was barely managing to stand.

" Useless as ever! Do you know why despite being of High birth, most of the Human warriors can send you flying into the Nilfhel with one punch?! Because you have stagnated!! You think yourself to have reached perfection? You are above everything?! If you think you are above everything, you can't go any higher!", Poseidon said, and the Gods gasped, though they finally realized, Poseidon was giving them suggestion! He was advising the Gods.

" Brother you are giving a advice?", Hades said stumped, he couldn't belief that his brother who would even put most of the Gods and entire Humanity nothing as mere insects would give advice to them! Zeus meanwhile stroked his chin and said loudly," Hey Poseidon?! Isn't that the very definition of you? Aren't you the God who reached perfection?"

Many Gods trembled in fear, though Goll commented," As expected only a final boss can make fun of another final boss on the face!!", she tried her best to keep her mind about calm. Brunhilde meanwhile gritted her teeth,' Fuck it!! How is this arrogant God back?!!!!! Wait does it counts having that we didn't won one match? No! He had lost so it does counts according to rule, but now that he had returned Gods might play otherwise... Dammmmnn itttttttt!!!!!! ', she thought.

" Perfection? I am not perfect- yet, since to be perfect is to be omnipotent itself. I can't yet create worlds out of nothing, destroy the strongest of Gods with a mere thought, I am far, very far from it, but when compared to you- I am on the right path, while you are a strayed pervert", Poseidon replied with a grin, while everyone gasped, as Poseidon admitted himself to be faulty, but more than that he insulted the God Father of Cosmos himself.

" Ohoho! To be honest I don't know how you returned, and how much stronger you have gotten- but it is still rude to speak God Father of Cosmos like this right?", Zeus eyes his brother, a tension brewing before them. Next moment a hand was on Zeus' shoulder," Hmm?!! ", Zeus reacted only to be sent flying away and clashed against the wall. 

The scene surprised everyone, though the most of them couldn't see what actually happened, they could only see a woman standing instead of Zeus' place, Hermes, Ares and Adamantite quickly backed off and the moment they realized what they did they were shocked." I-I am scared?", Ares muttered,' This feeling! It is very similar to Zeus in his Adamanas form! ', he thought shocked.

" Fu-", Zeus wanted to retaliate yet creations of red light pierced through his limbs, Zeus' eyes widened as he felt the loss of control over all of his limbs, he gritted his teeth and looked at the woman, only for his anger to vanish in an instant. Looking her face more perfect than Aphrodite herself, her cold demeanor that made her seem totally unapproachable.

" B-Beautiful", he said as blood leaked from his corners, he then looked at her body and his eyes almost came out seeing her perfect Divine body, and especially her breasts, unfortunately for him they were fully covered making him sigh in sadness. Artoria's face quenched in disgust and she materialized another weapon and severed his eyes.

" Aghhh!!", Zeus wailed in pain as his eyes burned, he had never felt such a pain, as it burned his Divine soul, making it so unable to be healed again, unless a procedure is performed by a Divine Miracle of same or higher level. The Three Greek Gods stood stupefied as the strongest if not one of the strongest Gods was reduced to such a degratory state in a matter of seconds.

" Who are you?!", shouted Hades ready to jump to her, gripping his Bident tightly, though Poseidon suddenly grabbed his shoulder stopping him, Hades became puzzled, and then shockingly to his and everyone's with a gentle smile Poseidon said," That's enough punishment for him, let him reflect on his actions for a while, return Artoria", hearing his words, the Goddess' figure vanished appearing beside Poseidon.

"~He was bickering too much- So I gave him a lesson on my own, I did good right, Dear?~", Artoria asked, with anticipation and Poseidon patted her next moment causing her to giggle happily, Hades stood stupefied, now it made him doubt if the person in front of him was really Poseidon, once Poseidon had finishing patting Artoria, the Goddess quickly hugged his hand between her bountiful chest and looking at Hades she did a small bow.

" I am Goddess of Storms and End, Artoria Pendragon and the second wife of Poseidon", her words surprised everyone. Hades stumbled back, his face showed a look full of surprise, shock and disbelief, he looked at Poseidon who nodded and said," A lot more has happened than you can think of", the God Death took a deep breath and finally asked," When I am getting nephews and nieces?"

Again, silence reigned over the place, this time it was for Poseidon to be shocked, while Artoria thought for a moment and replied," A few hundred years perhaps, but Lord Poseidon had already created a daughter", her words again shocked Hades, and the God of Death grinned foolishly, while Poseidon narrowed his eyebrows," What are you thinking?"

Hades coughed with slight embarrassment,' As their big brother my image shan't collapse, thus I shall never tell Poseidon that I like children and playing with them, and if they are my brothers or sisters, it only makes it better!!', he thought, though Poseidon had already guessed it." You said you have more wives?", he asked seeing Poseidon's gaze to divert his attention.

Poseidon didn't give a reply and instead said, " Well, then we shall leave this place, we can't talk here right?", and the God of Death nodded, and then all of them vanished next moment. Heimdall who was kneeling till now finally stood up, and looking around grabbed his mike, he glanced at Greek's Vip Seat and found female angels putting Zeus on a stretcher.

He took a deep breath and said," Amazing!! The God of Seas had crawled back from the final death itself, a feat unachieved by anyone till now!! A-And a Supreme Goddess had appeared in the world! For the first time in the history of Gods, had a Supreme Goddess born! Her being wife of Lord Poseidon nonetheless! Anyway! The Record of Ragnarök's Seventh Round's winner is Lord Hades!! And with this humanity inches one stop closer to it's doom!"

His words finally broke the stupor, letting Gods erupt in a somewhat awkward cheer and Humanity to grief, though they noticed an amazing thing. This time no Gods showed disdain for the fighter of the Humanity, not after what Humans had shown in previous round and especially after Poseidon's speech.

" And well, that's it! Since Poseidon had resurrected, I am sure a meeting will be held between Supreme Gods, and all the major Gods, so do expect next round to be delayed and Bye! Bye! For now!!", Heimdall said and then quickly left the stage. " Damn it! This midget doesn't even cares that Zeus was plummeted to ground by an unknown Goddess who came out of nowhere and even announced her as Supreme Goddess!!", Hermes said.

Ares put his hand on him and said," Brother- To be honest, it's usually you who gives advice but... Do not consider her weak. We all know, our instincts were screaming before her, same as when Lord Zeus is in Adamanas form", Hermes stopped and nodded. " This does warrants a meeting from the Gods though", said Adamantine.

" I will be leaving", Adamantine said and then quickly ran away in fear of encountering Poseidon, meanwhile Odin announced," The Valhalla meeting shall be held tomorrow!", his voice echoed through the stadium, many Gods being a bit shocked as the God of Rage and Wisdom was a man of few words. A holographic screen appeared in front of them, and Odin voted in favor.

Zeus who was blind by now, hearing Odin's voice gritted his teeth and voted in favor, Shiva meanwhile who was lying on a stretcher voted in favor. Except hades all the Supreme Gods had voted for the Valhalla meeting to be held once again. While Brunhilde and Goll quickly left the stadium with intense emotions.

Sasaki sighed and looked at the Valkryie beside her," Ten Thousand percent I am sure he will be coming after me", the Valkryie sighed and said," This was unexpected, let me discuss it with my sister", and she left. Meanwhile, in an unknown dark room, a woman laughed," Haha!! Fucking Pervert!! You deserve that!!."

The woman had dark brown hair, and enchanting golden eyes, with a beautiful face that could captivate anyone she was none other than Goddess of Marriage, Hera herself. " Sister, I don't think this is joking matter, Poseidon's return from Nilfhel and the presence of a Goddess that could plummet Zeus so easily- It can cause unprecedented chaos", a woman sitting beside her said.

The woman had green hair, and gentle blue eyes, she was none other than Goddess of Harvest Demeter herself," Perhaps, but let me laugh at that pervert's misery- For he made the Goddess of Marriage and Vows divorce him", she said, her face distorted in anger and disgust. Demeter shivered, and Hera finally ordered," Call out Hestia out of her tomb, and that Athena as well. We shall visit the next Valhalla meeting tomorrow."

Demeter nodded, despite being sisters Hera held more sway than her between the two, as she had been Zeus' wife once and was one of the strongest Goddess in the Heavens despite her Divinity, only a few Goddesses like Athena, Kali and the like could be compared to her, although weaker than Supreme Gods and most powerful major gods, they could beat any weaker God with relative ease.

Just like that, threads of fate had been completely torn and destiny was being sewn anew.

To be continued...
