The other man was now feeling bad about the things he said about Ares. Although Ares really might have been with a demon, after hearing this old man talk about Ares the man also believed that Ares deserved an opportunity to explain himself.
"When The Ruler heard all his men were so easily defeated by Ares he was still calm and he predicted something like this would happen, so he immediately sent many more soldiers to apprehend Ares."
"Do you know how many soldiers were sent?" The other man said
"1000." The old man said
The other man was greatly shocked wondering if The Ruler was going overboard, then he asked "what happened when the reinforcements arrived.''
"Ares is the God Of War for a reason. When the reinforcements arrived they quickly surrounded Ares trying to overwhelm him and make him surrender.....but they would soon find out that it would be them being overwhelmed. Ares was calm and didn't have any fear, the soldiers tried to attack simultaneously but once again Ares wasn't afraid. He declared War on the Heavens because he thought that he was being framed for something he didn't and I'm sure he wouldn't have done so if he wasn't confident in his power." The old man said
"It was almost like everyone was moving in slow motion because nobody could hit Ares dodging every attack thrown at him. When other people heard that The Ruler sent 1000 soldiers to attack Ares they also thought it was overboard and that it was unnecessary, but when Ares also defeated the 1000 soldiers single-handedly it shocked them. The Ruler was also shocked by this, he hadn't even sent them out that long ago and they were already defeated."
At this point, the other man wasn't that surprised by this. He heard many surprising things as he was listening to this old man, but it was still crazy to think Ares could go up against 1000 people simultaneously, just imagining it made him shiver.
The old man continued "The Ruler was not happy about this. He realized that he underestimated The God of War's power, so in response, he sent 10,000 soldiers. Some of them were kinda scared of going to battle against Ares because they heard how he easily defeated 1000 soldiers, but They were more scared of opposing The Ruler so they went anyway."
The other man was starting to wonder if The Ruler had another reason to hate Ares besides him dating Mystic, then he suddenly remembered something and asked "Do you know what Mystic was doing when this was going on." The other man felt like Mystic wouldn't stay quiet when the person she loves was being attacked.
The old man then had a complicated look on his face and said "I don't know what she was doing.... the whole time Ares was being attacked she didn't do anything. I think The Ruler or Ares told her something because she never tried to stop anything that was going on, it was very strange."
The other man also thought that it was strange that Mystic wouldn't do anything and thought something was going on.
"It was a long battle once again many people thought it was over for Ares, but he proves them wrong again. Although he didn't come out unscathed, he wasn't very injured." The old man said
"Don't tell me after that The Ruler sent even more soldiers." The other man said a little worried
"No he didn't...but what he did send was much worse...he sent the 10 Commandments." The old man said
The other man thought he wouldn't be very successful anymore but he was mistaken.
The 10 Commandments were a group of 10 people handpicked by The Ruler. Each of them has the power of a God, they are the personal guards of The Ruler.
The other man feared for Ares. The other man knew that he couldn't go against one of the 10 Commandments and forget all ten simultaneously, and although he was a little worried for Ares he was also deeply invested in the story and what would happen next.
"When The 10 Commandments arrived at Ares' location, just like the soldiers they surrounded Ares giving him no way to escape. The fight was brutal, each of them was attacking Ares from all sides. The fight wasn't looking good for Ares...but it also wasn't looking good for the 10 Commandments." The old man said
He then said "Although the 10 Commandments outnumbered Ares, the fight between them was about even. Which was quite shocking considering the power of the 10 Commandments both sides were covered in blood, Ares looked exhausted but didn't give up. He had a determined look on his face. As the fight was tickling down The 10 Commandments were looking more and more exhausted, Ares was also very tired but still held the upper hand...eventually, The 10 Commandments became too exhausted to keep up with Ares and they also were defeated."
The other man was starting to believe nobody could defeat Ares. He wished he was told this before today, many people told him that Ares was a traitor, that he didn't deserve to be honored, the other man didn't understand why people were trying to cover up the history of Ares.
Even if he was with a demon and did betray us the other man felt like that was more of a reason to mention Ares, almost like using him as an example...but there was none of that, it was very strange. Then he asked "How was Ares banished from heaven? every time he fought he won, he even beat all the 10 Commandments alone, I can't see anyone beating him!"
When the other man said this, it left a strange face on the old man. He seemed hesitant to speak but eventually, he said " The Ruler thought it was time to go deal with Ares himself when he was stopped by Mystic who wanted to go for him. At first, The Ruler didn't want her to go because he felt like she might try to help him escape or escape with him, but Mystic was being very stubborn and wouldn't let up so in the end he caved in and let her go."
The old man wasn't finished as he said "I don't know what was going on with Mystic or why she chose to go but when she got there the scene made her change. I don't know If I mentioned this but this whole time all the battles have happened In a very large field, it was also In an area where almost everyone could see what was going on so of course, everyone wanted to see the fights I only know this because I can only tell this story because I was one of the many people watching
Although the other man didn't say anything he was secretly questioning the old man (How do you forget to mention where the fight took place, that's one of the most important things!)
The old man continued "Mystic saw lots of soldiers on the ground and wondered if they were dead but to her surprise, they were all alive, Ares could've killed all of them but didn't. She also saw Ares covered in blood and he also looked very tired. Just by looking at Mystic, you could see she didn't want to do this, but for some reason she still did. Ares had a terrible look on his face, he was already hurt physically but the fact that Mystic was there hurt him way more."
