(Not gonna lie, I'm not happy with this one.)
Shiva has been waiting for such a long time now, to the point it felt like that's all she ever has been doing.
It all started with the meeting to determine wether humanity would be spare or not, where she waited for the vote to be casted so they could finish off the wretched things and she could begin waiting for what ever spices they evolved next to do something to entrain her. That was when the Valkyrie entered with her hilarious idea of beginning the Ragnarok where she started to wait for the gods to kick the impudent half-human out after laughing in her face.
Only for those idiots to agree after one let insult to them.
And before she knew it she was sitting in Valhalla Arena waiting for this little farce of a contest to be over while hoping it could be a little entertaining. Her mood didn't change when humanity's first contestant came into the arena to face Thor, being just a boy she thought nothing of him, even with that little show of power when he entered the arena she figured it was just another trick from the valkyries. Her opinion didn't change much when the fight began and although she was surprised when the boy revealed his powers it ultimately meant nothing if he couldn't hurt Thor and so she simply waited for Thor to turn him into a smear on the ground.
And then Thor was sent flying into a wall puking up blood as she flew.
There were no words to describe the shock and disbelief she felt at seeing such an impossible sight. But as the match went on her disbelief began to change to happiness and excitement. Finally, finally an opponent showed up who might be able to give her the same came of rush in fight she hadn't felt since she faced off against her oldest friend Rudra.
That feeling only grew as the fight neared its end and Izuku brought out his final attack, a massive beast made of lightening that looked like it could wipe out any god if it hit them head on. When the dust cleared and Thor had been declared the loser the excitement grew even more. A human, a fucking human had just defeated one of the greatest warriors the gods had to offer and seemed to take minimum damage while doing do and she had all her fingers crossed that she would get the change to fight him herself.
But the universe seemed to want to spite her in that moment and but the boy in a death match against Zeus of all people and she knew that her hopes of fighting the green haired boy went up in smoke and all she could do was wait for the inevitable and hope she could get a decent fight later.
Only to have once the match actually get started her jaw hanging open as she watched eyes full of awe and slight jealously what had to be the greatest fist fight she had ever seen. The way the two clashed literally shock the heavens towards the end with it ending with a sight she thought impossible, the king of the gods losing and dying. while laughing like a mad man.
That confirmed it for her, She needed to fight Izuku Midoriya as soon as possible, they boy seemed almost unstoppable and that's the kind of challenge she loves and once again she hoped that she would be selected to go up against the green haired boy.
Only to be hit with disappointment and a returning boredom when those chosen to fight not only didn't involve her but they also didn't involve Izuku, causing her to sigh and begin to wait once more for the inevitable slaughter to get over with and hopefully a more entertaining match.
After all who could defeat the sea tyrant?
The answer was the first man apparently as proven when Shiva watched only complete and utterly lost as Adam despite getting some serious injuries was able to best Poseidon herself causing her opinion on humanity to start to change, after all if humans despite one not being from their world could prove a match or even surpass them in this case maybe there was more to them then she first thought.
She didn't really get a chance to observe during the forth match after the barrier went up and the monsters were set loose, to focused on getting to and protecting her family to give the match any thought. Though she did get to meet and fight beside the boy who piqued her interest which she had to admit once her family was safe had been a plus.
Once everything was settled and the 5th battle was announced she intended to watch with far more interest after seeing what the first man can do against the sea tyrant she was more than a little interested to see what the one who had been called 'the strongest warrior in history was capable of against the man made a god. And she wasn't disappointed in the least. Lu Bu proved to be just as capable as the rest despite have a slight distaste for the humans dirty tricks when she was clearly capable with out them.
But still Shiva couldn't complain Lu Bu having proven herself to be just as much a capable warrior and champion for humanity as those before her and she could hardly stand the wait any longer for her turn.
And it turns out she didn't have to as finally in the 6th round her turn had come at last, going up against the first man not her first choice of opponent but still one that she was sure was going to give her one of the greatest fights of her life, even more so if the crazy theory she had of Adam was correct. Which is why she had been practically vibrating with excitement for the following three hours and was waiting impatiently for the introductions to be done, the silence that followed hers not bothering her in the least when she heard her family cheering for her.
They were more than enough any day of the week.
And than it was finally time, the waiting was done she had done it long enough and it had finally paid off and the second Heimdall started the match she raised all four of her arms and charged. Adam didn't move to meet her and instead waited for the goddess to come to him before tilting his head to the side slightly to avoid her first strike before blocking her next three punches.
The goddess of destruction grinned as she threw another punch only for Adam to duck underneath it and go for a punch only for it to be blocked by one of Shiva's arms. "Gonna have to do better than that human." She taunted only for Adam to hum before using Shave to disappear. Eyes wide Shiva quickly looked around for her opponent only for a fist to meet her jaw and send her back. Looking back she saw Adam standing in the same place he had before disappearing the first time with a smirk on his face. "Better?" He asked causing Shiva to tsk before charging once again.
"A good opening." Izuku muttered as he watched from their chosen point with Qin, Jack, Sasaki, Raiden, Soji, Lu Bu and their valkyrie partners. "Using Shave to suddenly move positions only to move back instantly when she looked away was clever." Izuku praised as he watched the two close-quarter specialists battle it out. "Yup! The guy sure knows how to trick muscle heads like her, no offense." Soji directed the last part to Raiden who seemed to have a similar mindset to which the sumo didn't mind in the least.
Back in the match Shiva once more was throwing punches to which the first man was ether dodging or blocking however this time once he saw a opening Adam launched a quick kick to the Hindu goddess' legs at such speed that not only was Shiva unable to react in time, it also caused Shiva to stagger and stop her attacks.
This gave Adam the opening he was looking for as he started to unleash his own barrage of attacks. From punches and kicks to Finger Pistols, Rippers, to his own Razor's Edge and Devil Edge, Adam was relentlessly attacking the goddess fo destruction torso, arms and legs much to the horror of her family. "SHIVA!" Her wives screamed in horror while Ganesha watched on in opened mouth horror at his mother getting attacked.
Adam than delivered a punch to her chin launching her into hair and positioning in just the spot Adam wanted and as quick as a flash delivered a Six King Gun to the goddess stomach causing her to cough up blood and get sent flying back, or would have got sent flying back if Adam hadn't grabbed her by the leg. Instead after grabbing his opponent leg he pulled her closer to him and once he could grabbed it Adam took hold of Shiva's head with both hands and slammed his forehead into the goddess's own intending to end the match with a headbutt.
BONG!
The sound rang through the entire arena as both sides thought it was once again over only to the surprise of all watching it was Adam's head that started bleeding. Shiva chuckled softly as she eased herself out of Adam's grip and got some distance. "Sorry pal." She said with a smirk before pointing towards her forehead. "But you won't find anyone in heaven with a harder noggin than mine." She bragged before giving her dome a couple of times for emphasis wile Adam smirked while wiping the blood off his forehead. "Note." He claimed before launching a barrage of Storm Legs towards the goddess.
Shiva seeing the attacks start to close in closed her eyes and started to sway letting all the attacks pass her easily before pivoting and shooting straight towards Adam who seemed to fall back until his heels barely touched the stadium floor before twisting slightly and giving the goddess a swift kick to the neck to send the goddess away only for Shiva to grab Adam's arms with one of her hands and with all her might threw Adam straight towards the wall.
"Adam!" Eve steamed in fear watching her husband fly through the air only to breathe a sigh of relief when Adam hit the wall hands and feet first and launched himself off the wall and towards Shiva. "Hell yeah Dad, that's how you do it!" Cain cheered his father on and it only got louder when Adam landed a solid punch straight on to Shiva's nose sending her flying through air flipping several times before hitting the wall with such force that her head got stuck in the wall of the stadium.
"Shiva!" Parvati screamed while Durga grit her teeth worried as she watched her wife fight while Kali had her hands clenched in worry as she muttered wonder her breath for Shiva to win while Ganesha kept his eyes on the ring, determined not to let his eyes wonder until his mama's match was over.
Heimdall was about to jump down and see if Shiva was still conscious when suddenly the wall cracked as Shiva's head popped out of the wall and although her noise was clearly bashed into her skull with blood gushing out of it like a waterfall while her hair was covered in concrete and debris she was grinning broadly which was slightly ruined when a few of her teeth were shown to stained red with blood.
Once more facing her opponent she dusted the debris out of her hair before taking out her hairband allowing her hair to cascade down her back freely. This action was insignificant to almost everyone, a mere minor change but to those that new her it meant a drastic change.
"Ha! About time she get serious!"
"Indeed with everything that we've seen so far I'm surprised Shiva didn't start at full power."
"Eh it doesn't matter there's no way she'll lose to a human when in her fist dwell the power of the 1116 Indian gods!"
Shiva's family surprised by the voices turned around to see most of if not all of their fellow Hindu gods cheering and screaming their support for their wife having taken the seats from those who remained silent and that have already written off the goddess of destruction.
With their spirts relight knowing that their oldest allies and former foes were all untied to cheer Shiva to victory the family of 4 turned back to the stadium and began to cheer even louder determined to help their wife if only with for moral support!
Shiva hearing this let out a sigh as a determined smirk came to her face as a familiar heat started to burn. 'Ah this feeling, it's back again.' She thought as the heat started to grow brighter and brighter. A heat that she had first felt for the first time a thousand years ago. 'But than again it's no surprise I'm feeling like this.' She thought with a mental laugh as she looked towards her opponent and then before her gaze drifted to where the champions were watching. 'After all this is a lot like those days.' She thought before making sure her head dress piece was secured against her head.
'Isn't that right...' She thought before once again crouching down before shooting forward.
'Rudra?'
Long ago.
In the kingdom of the gods of India it was filled with thousands of gods.
In order to become the strongest of the gods the concentrated on the rivalry of power which caused chaos.
There was still not a group that made India.
There is none in that field of the kingdom of the gods of India.
There was. pair that was almost unknown.
Shiva the goddess of destruction who was happy spending her days dancing, sleeping and do as she pleased content with her life and Rudra the god of storms who spent his time training day in and day out to achieve his dream of becoming the strongest.
The personalities of the pair were the complete opposite of one another, and yet for some reason they were one in the same.
However this peace would not last, soon rivals all clawing for the title of strongest would appear attacking their home and forcing the two to retaliate.
From then one they would spend their days fighting.
To Shiva Rudra was her best friend and for that reason when Rudra told her she would climb to the top of the highest mountain in India and claim the title as strongest she didn't even hesitate when he asked if she wanted to come with him.
And soon it wasn't long before the entire realm had heard of the two.
Those two idiots are going to challenge the top of the Indian realm.
At first everyone laughed.
They were laughed at and underestimated
But...
But....
BUT!
As the two kept claiming victory after victory and moved closer to the top, they were beginning to be taken seriously.
Teasing unexpectedly became respect.
And comptent with their hope.
The two advanced further towards their goal.
Their nick names changing overtime they beat someone as the numbers of their followers was increasing.
And later fierce fights against many powerful gods came.
And through their fights to the death.
with the strongest gods in India
The vedas would be born!
Until finally Shiva and Rudra had bested 1115 gods and had risen to the top of the of the Indian realm.
Shiva was satisfied.
Rudra was not.
And unable to talk her dear friend down Shiva and Rudra were forced to clash.
In the kingdom of the gods of India, their fight was tremendous from the beginning
The sounds of their fight echoed through out India.
The sweat that flowed became heavy rain.
As much as Shiva
As Rudra
They had fun at the top yet at the same time they were in pain.
However the moment had to come to an end.
And shiva knew this and dreaded it, fearing the worse, fearing that the end result would end with one of them killing the other.
Realizing this Shiva knew what she had to do, dropping to the ground Shiva was just about to admit defeat when Rudra did the impossible.
He admitted defeat.
It was then that Rudra begged shiva, begged her to always remain at the top, to remain above them all.
And Shiva with tears in her eyes declared she would do just that.
And than Rudra disappeared from the lands of India.
And Shiva rose to the top of the gods.
That day he would lose her best friend in the highest place.
Shiva unleashed a mighty kick to Adam's head only for the first man to take a quick step and counter with a kick of his own only for Shiva to try and block it with her four arms but the force behind the kick was still enough to send the Hindu goddess back several spaces.
Huffing and ignoring the stinging in her arms she glanced towards the first man with a determined expression. I carry the hope of all 1116 gods." She informed Adam before shouting out "And I refuse to lose to anyone!" getting waves of cheer and support from the Hindu gods.
Unknown to her she there was still one more always watching from the shadows.
"I knew you would come." The figure turned to see Brahma. "But why are you hiding up here Rudra?' He asked as the god of storms remained silent unsure how to answer before noticing Agni, Varna, Vishnu and Indra. This did cause the storm god to smile.
"Looks like everyone has gathered." He chuckled though stoped when Vishnu looked towards Shiva with concern. "Still it doesn't look like much has changed, it wouldn't surprise me if she threw the match.. The god worried getting a laugh from the storm god. "It seems you still don't understand, even though she might be gentle when it comes to fighting she goes at it with all she has." Rudra declared watching the stadium with pure confidence.
"That's how she'll win."
Despite his words however a couple still had their doubts. "But she has no discipline." Varna muttered annoyed trying to recall how many times she had laughed when they had laughed. "Not to mention she acts like an idiot at times." Agni added on and none of them could help but burst out laughing at such a true statement.
"But still lets watch how this fight ends from up here, shall we?" Indra asked with calm grin on his face as the others lined forward to get a better view.
All the while Rudra watched on with a happy grin and crossed arms. 'Go Shiva! Show the result of our fight at the top of the kingdom of India!'
Back in the arena Shiva was breathing in and out slow and steady and to the surprise of many flames started to emerge from the ground around her.
"And it seems Shiva is looking ready to end this already if she's already resorting to her Bending Dance!" Heimdall announced much to the confusion and slight unease of the humans watching however before she could through a punch she exhaled a final time and the fire died down. 'No, it isn't time to use that yet.' She thought before narrowing her eyes. 'Especially since I haven't confirmed my theory yet.' She thought with narrowed eyes as she glanced towards her opponent who was simply standing there looking just a little to relaxed.
'We'll just have to fix that.' She thought before slowly approaching Adam who hadn't made a move to strike her again and simply waited for the goddess to make a move and after taking one more deep breath, deeper than any before it Shiva launched her next attack.
This was the Apnea Rush where by controlling her breathing algorithm, Shiva is capable of unleashing over a hundred punches and kicks within the span of a few seconds, which are so fast that counterattack is near impossible. This allows her to 'melt' walls, human bones, and even metal.
Shiva is capable of holding her breath for 10 minutes while attacking so her barrage doesn't end until her opponent lies in a lifeless heap of flesh. Shiva's ability to hold her breath for five minutes is an important part of this technique. In normal combat, the moment a fighter pauses to take a breath between attacks provides an opportunity for their opponent to counterattack.
Apnea Rush does not possess this weakness.
Humanity watched on in silent horror as their father was relentlessly and mercilessly beaten despite not taking a single step backwards, none more so then his family who were screaming at him and begging him to be alright and survive while the Hindu gods were cheering widely for their strongest to best the human and get them another point on the board while the rest of the gods watched on in silence convinced that she would fuck it up just like all except Hajun had before her.
However as the seconds changed into minutes and both the cries and cheers continued only a select few people knew who truly had who cornered. "Well looks like the goddess has gone and trapped herself." Raiden smirked as the champions watched Shiva's continued assault on Adam without a care in the world. "Háo, and it's only a matter of time before Adam lands the final strike!" Qin laughed as she watched the spectacle. "Still though is Adam really going to be alright, all those blows might end up doing something unseen." Sasaki voiced his concern, not wanting one of his new friends and allies. Izuku merely smiled towards the old swordsman. "It's fine Sasaki." The green haired teen promised him as he kept his eyes on the arena.
"Adam knows exactly what he's doing."
And while the champions and their valkyries were close to the only ones who knew not everything was what it seemed there was one other who could tell something was off and that was none other than Shiva herself.
'Damn it!' Shiva thought as they had just entered the 6th minute of the attack. 'He's not budging in the slightest!' She continued in frustration as she saw that while her by now hundreds of thousands of attacks had all landed Adam had yet to take a single step back with a quick glance towards her opponents feet revealed that he had dug his toes in deep into the statism ground preventing movement from accruing.
Shiva didn't know what it was about that, but something about Adam not moving in the slightest unnerved her so she started directing every 100 strike or so at his feet to loosen grip while throwing in another every 30 or 40 blows to the rest of his body after the 500 strike.
On the 7th minute Shiva was starting to get a little dizzy as her attacks became less in number nothing of importance but it was clear her time was running out.
On the 8th minute, only 75-80 percent of her attacks were connecting at all the rest were near misses and she started to stumble slightly when ever coming back from a kick.
On the 9th and final minute it was clear Shiva would need to breath soon, her attacks having slow to where almost everyone could seem them now while less than half her attacks were landing anywhere but on Adam who had yet to move since the assault had begun.
Finally Shiva could stand it no longer and had to take a breath, an action that would take less than a second for anyone but that fraction of a second was all Adam needed to land his counter attack.
In that instant Shiva was blasted back, vomiting up a path of blood before impacting the wall with such force it caused the surrounding parts of the arena to collapse top of her. "SHIVA!" The hindu gods screamed as one while humanity cheered at the display. "Wow now that was cool." Adam said regaining everyone attention and their were cries of surprise, shock, joy, relief, rage and disbelief as they saw Adam standing as nonchalant as ever.
Without so much as a scratch on him.
"A-A-Against all odds and logic, Adam has emerged not only without injury but also looked to hit Shiva with the Blast Core used by Raiden Tameemon in round 4!" Heimdall shouted at the top of his lungs causing the humans to erupt into a storm of cheers.
"Hell yeah, you got this Dad!" Cain shouted his face full of triumph as he watched what he knew was the end of the match. "That was amazing Darling!" Eve shouted happy that her beloved Adam was safe. "Just a little more Papa!" Abel shouted happy to see his father once more winning his feet.
Elsewhere with those from the quirk world who were back in their seats Kaku couldn't help but let out an impressed whistle and gave a couple of impressed claps. "Now that I have to admit is the greatest use of the two Shaorii I've ever seen." Kaku admitted to the the heroes who looked at him. "Wait a minute, you mean he was Adam was able to survive Shiva's assault because of the technique Izuku used against Zeus?" Setsuna asked having been along with Kendo to Ibara who fainted from shock and fear at what she saw was the death of the father of all mankind.
"Yup and I'm a little ashamed to admit I do find myself jealous at how he could use the Shaorii techniques so easily." Kaku admitted looking down at the arena and waiting to see if the goddess will emerge from the ruble. "It was amazing but something is bothering me." Kirishima said getting looks from everyone causing him to scratch the back of his head embarrassed. "Well I'm just wondering how exactly Adam was able to use that Blast Core move when I don't think Raiden did until after the fog gate went up when those monsters started attacking so I was just wondering when he could have seen it." The Hardening quirk user told the group who blinked at what he said.
That was a very good question with Nezu humming. "If I were to guess it would have been before Ragnarok even started or it could have right before the match to give Adam an edge." The principal guessed what was to him the most likely possibilities.
Unknown to them Raiden himself was currently screaming his lungs out cheering from the stands. "Oh hell yeah, that's the way Adam!" The sumo champion cheered on the first man having seen Adam just use his trump card. "I gotta admit I was skeptical when you said you wanted to show your Blast Core but I'm willing to admit I was wrong." Thrud spoke to her partner recalling how Raiden went to Adam and told the first man how he wanted to give him a little extra help in his match by showing him his greatest technique.
Adam who knew the Defensive Shaorii at that point and could use it to take the blow agreed and one punch later Adam had another technique in his arsenal.
"Yo if you would kindly join us back here in heaven Muscle Head the match isn't over yet." Soji called out to the sumo to snap back to reality just as Shiva emerged from the rubble blood leaking down multiple points of her body and a deep imprint of Adam's fist in her stomach which she rubbed gently as she emerged from the rubble. "Son of a bitch." Shiva hissed as she did so hacking up blood with each word.
Looking towards her opponent Shiva let out a grin even as blood dripped from her lips. "Not bad human, not bad at all, but if you think that all it's going to take to bring me down you've got another thing coming." Shiva declared much to the relief of her family and friends before closing her eyes and started to slowly start to follow the flow of the cosmos.
"Mind if I ask you a question?"
Only to immediately falter at Adam's sudden interruption causing the goddess to stumble before catching herself and glaring at the man. "What could possibly be so important to interrupt our fight?" Shiva demanded with Adam not keeping his face as emotionless.
"Why did you decided to keep fighting when you didn't have to?" Adam causing not only Shiva but also her family the hindu gods, gods sitting in the human side as well as the humans to blink in confusion. Adam noticed this and decided to explain further. "What I mean to ask is that you knowing the score, that 2 gods are already dead and that I am allowed to kill you, still chose to fight despite the fact that you have a family. I want to know why." Adam demanded and suddenly everyone's attention was on Shiva. To their surprise however all she could answer with was a shrug and giggle. "Sorry but there's really no answer I can give other than I wanted to fight, I've been doing it for eons and I wasn't going to pass up on the fighting event of the century>" She exclaimed getting laughs from the Hindu pantheon expecting nothing else from the supreme goddess of the Hindu pantheon.
"Besides." She went on laughing much more softly this time "I'm not worried about being killed by the same man who protected my family during the fourth match." She admitted recalling it was Adam who was safeguarding not only his own family but hers as well. Adam's response was to merely hum. "Well there really was no reason for me not to protect them, and I wasn't going to let a family get torn apart if I can help it." Adam admitted getting a grin Shiva despite the pain.
"Ah they'll drive you completely mad, but at the end of the day we'll do anything for our families." Shiva spoke with a found smile which Adam matched. "Without hesitation or doubt." He added sparing a look at his own family recalling a memory from long ago.
Once Adam lived his life alongside his fellow creations in the infinite providence of the Garden of Eden
Until that faithful day.
The serpent accused Eve of eating from the tree of knowledge.
However in truth the serpent had tried to take Eve as his own. He had tried to test her faith to Adam only to be meet with resentment and forged evidence.
However all assembled were gods! Government! Judges! Prosecutors! In Eden, the land of the gods, the chances of a human receiving a guilty verdict was 99.99999!
In the end Even was sentenced to be expelled from Eden.
However before the punishment could be handed out the doors to the chambers opened with Adam appearing and walking over the body of the downed giant set to guard it during the trial.
However what caught everyones attention was what the first man was carrying, two baskets filled with apples.
As the audience erupted into noise and demands about if he had plucked everyone grin the tree of knowledge.
However all went silent when Adam without waring took a large bite out of an apple much to the horror of those present and it only grew worse when he spat it onto the floor in disgust while muttering a "Sour." as he did so.
Adam went on to do this with each and every apple until both baskets were empty and the first man through them aside without a care.
He than kneeled down to his wife and told her they were leaving which with tears in her eyes and a smile Eve agreed and took his hand.
The serpent however was enraged and in his fury transformed into his true form to kill the humans for their heresy against the gods.
Only for Adam to obliterate the serpent in a single attack.
With that in front of all the assembled gods the two left the heavens for a new start on earth and they lived happily ever after.
Adam had finally snapped out of his trip down memory lane when he noticed Shiva with her eyes closed started to move again only this time it actually looked like she was dancing of all things. "And there it is ladies and gentlemen Shiva's signature move, it's her Hidden Treasure of the Indian World of Gods!" Heimdall shouted at the top of his longs as before everyone's eyes it seemed Shiva seemed to multiple.
Hidden Treasure of the Indian World of Gods, this martial dance is Shiva's trump card and can only be performed by her. By dancing to the rhythm of the cosmos, Shiva is able to attack her opponent with far greater speed and power while confusing them. Its unpredictable rhythm allows Shiva to continuously attack her opponent with multi-hit attacks while her opponent is under the impression of being attacked by many, many enemies all at once.
Shiva grinned towards her opponent. "Hope you're ready human!" She declared before rushing forward causing it to look like an entire army was now approaching.
"You've got this Mama!" Ganesha cheered his mama on ready to his mother beat the human.
"Put that goddess in her place Dad!" Cain shouted his full support towards his father.
Hearing the support from their children caused both the parents to grin before Adam used Shave to meet the hoard down the middle resulting in a shockwave caused by the fury of multiple clashing blows!.
"Damn and here I thought Adam was about to take this match." Soji muttered annoyed as he scratched the back of his head as he continued to watch the match. "Think our boy is in trouble?" He asked getting a shake of the head from Izuku. "No as far as I can tell Shaorii seems to be able to handle Shiva's blows just as well as before."
And Izuku's claim seemed to be right as Adam despite taking hundreds of hits, little if any at all damage had been taken at all even when Shiva added in her Tandava, were her body starts to superheat and combust due to her intense dancing did little than leave imprints of her fest. Adam strikes on the other hand were hitting harder than ever. Thanks to the 2 Shaorii's Adam was able to launch attack after attack without being staggered in the slightest with each blow drawing more and more blood. Shiva than tried to go for a duel hand strike with her upper left hand and lower right hand with one going to strike Adam in the eyes and the other going for the nose.
Only for Adam in two swift uses of Ripper to slice off not only the two attacking hands but the other two as well. 'SHIVA!" Her family as well as the rest of Hindu pantheon screamed in horror as they saw the two hands hit the ground. Shiva didn't seemed to care about her missing hand though and tried to slam the stumps into Adam's face only to revive a a Whale Burial straight to the jaw, shattering it and completely knocking out some of her teeth. That wasn't the end however as Adam grabbed Shiva by the leg and and started to swing her widely around his body.
"And it looks the Dress ladies and Gentlemen, the very move that was used to finish off Zeus!" Heimdall announced making the Hindu pantheon very nervous and it only got worse as Adam swung her faster and faster as well as more widely before finally letting go wither her moving faster than most could ever dream of keeping up with into the far side wall of the arena resulting in the stadium once again shaking violently.
For most this did seem like the end of the match but before anyone could even move Shiva repapered however she looked much worse for wear. She was bleeding greatly from multiple points of the body, 4 of her five eyes had become swollen shut, her mouth which before was now a waterfall of blood and she moved with a limb when she walked. However that most glaring thing was her arms were completely gone with her upper arms ending at the shoulders and the lower ones gone from where the start in her sides. Parvati was staring in open mouth horror as the Hindu gods screamed out Shiva's name in fright while Kali looked to be close to fainting and Durga was gritting her teeth in frustration and anger while Ganesha seemed to be frozen in shocked horror.
Rudra was clenching his fist in anger at seeing his friend in such a state but didn't make a single move for a simple reason. Because his oldest friend despite her grievous injuries was smiling, a smile he knew quite well. Shiva was having fun, the kinda of fun that both had when climbing the mountain all those eons ago. Sighing Rudra managed to out a smile as he watched. 'Go on you lunatic get your fill. Your wives are diffidently going to let you have it later so you might as well enjoy it while you can.' He thought with. small grin before it turned to a scowl with narrowed eyes as he looked to some of the gods glaring darkly at shiva with some looking at her in disgust.
Shiva meanwhile was fighting to keep conscious. 'Damn it, I got careless.' She scolded herself as she looked down at her missing arms. 'And my Bending Dance is completely useless against this guy without my arms.' She tsk'd knowing that without her arms there was no way her bending would be fast enough to hit the first man.
'I've really only got once chose left but in the state I'm in I've only got a single shot at viceroy.' Shiva thought before using her last good eyes to glare determined towards Adam. 'Don't think I'm just going to hand you the win, not until you show me what you can really do!' She thought her heart beating faster and faster which is exactly what she needed.
This was her Tandava Karma and instantly all her open wounds instantly cauterized as a result of the flame while burning the surrounding arena. "Mamas that's!" Ganesha exclaimed in shock getting a nods from Shiva's wives. "Yeah, looks like that morons putting everything into one last attack." Durga noticed before narrowing her eyes dangerously. 'We'll be taking about this later you idiot, just you wait!' The war goddess mentality thought knowing that one way or another the fight was about to end.
And Shiva was determined to prove this because she immediately launched forward with her final attack.
This was Deva Loka, a powerful spinning heel kick used by Shiva under his Tandava Karma state and currently it was aimed directly towards Adam's head. 'Come on human don't disappoint me! Let's end this match of ours with a bang!' She mentally commanded towards her opponent wanting nothing more at this point to see if that crazy thought she had with Aphrodite was true even if it meant her loss.
Adam as if sensing this sighed but also chuckled lightly. "Well can't be helped I guess." He muttered before looking towards the Hindu goddess who's grin told him all he needed and right before Shiva's kick could slam into Adam's head he muttered two little words.
"Divide Axe."
Those two words as Shiva's attacking leg suddenly hit the ground was only meet with silence with the next the next two sounds being a couple of thuds one being Adam slamming a punch into Shiva's face and the next one was the goddess slamming into the ground were she remained unconscious.
"AND THE WINNER OF RAGNAROK ROUND 6 IS ADAM OF HUMANITY!" Heimdall shouted to the crowd causing the human audience to once again erupt into thudnerous applause and cheers with his family once again being the most vocal.
"ANOTHER ONE DOWN, GREAT JOB DAD!"
"AWESOME JOB PAPA!"
"OH ADAM I'M SO GLAD YOUR SAFE!"
As these and countless others were ringing out Izuku breathed out a sigh of relief. "Another win for us." He breathed out while the others were celebrating. "Hao, and now we only need two more wins to finally end this whole thing." Qin exclaimed happily bringing Izuku into a hug. "And it looks as if the gods were put into an even deeper depression than they were before already after Lu Bu vanquished Hercules." Jack muttered looking over the god's aura before noticeably frowning. "Something wrong?" Lu Bu asked having noticed the look gaining everyone's attention.
"It's the gods' aura, the hindu gods while depressed and sullen for the most part are fine. But the rest of them well." Jack fumbled here trying to figure out the best way to explain it. "The way I can best describe it is evil." She shrugged truly not knowing a better way to describe it. "Evil?' Raiden asked. "Evil, murderous, inhuman, whatever you want to call it." Jack said not used to having to explain these things to there people.
Here Hlökk scoffed. "Please you creep, they're just salty over the fact they lost again and that a human can copy one of their moves." The valkyrie disagreed with a scoff at the thought of the goddess losing it over a loss after losing so many times already.
"YOU WORTHLESS WRETCH!"
All noise in the stands instantly died hearing this and turned to see a lone god standing his hair shadowing his eyes. "NOT ONLY CAN'T YOU STOP A WORTHLESS HUMAN BUT YOU ALSO CAN'T STOP HIM FROM DISGRACING OUR KING BY STEALING ONE OF HIS MOVES! WHAT A WORTHLESS BITCH!" This instantly caused all of the Hindu gods to instantly glare murderously at the one who shouted but before they could kill the worthless bastard others joined in.
"THAT WAS THE WORST SHOWING YET!"
"STRONGEST OF THE HINDU GODS, WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!"
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET THAT HUMAN FINSH YOU OFF SO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT CAN TAKE THE TOP SPOT?!"
Up in the private stands Hades and Poseidon watched in complete disgust. "Hermes." Hades suddenly called out to the messenger who was also sharing her Aunt and Uncles disgust turned to the Lord of Helheim."Yes lord Hades?" She asked curious of what he could want at a time like this. "Take a note of every deity form the greek pantheon disgracing themselves out there. My sister and I will be meeting with each and everyone of them on how a greek is supposed to act." He ordered with Poseidon nodding in agreement. This caused a rather small smirk to appear on the messengers face. "Of course my lord." She said before watching over the crowd and gaining a small note of disappointment when she noticed a certain war god not among them.
The greeks weren't the only ones annoyed as Loki, Thor and Odin were watching the scene unfold. The three said nothing, not that Loki had nothing to say but she easily saw the look in her auntie's eye and unlike the idiots below knew when to shut the hell up.
Thor simply watched on with a mixture of boredom and disgust at what was happening briefly sparing a glance towards her mother before leaving to go find Izuku and the other human champions. Odin meanwhile was simply sitting there glancing down at the booing crowd trying to pick out any from her own pantheon, with her eye narrowing dangerously when ever she found one. Loki caught what she was doing and while she kept the grin off her face she still couldn't help the thought that entered her mind.
'I can already see the noose around each one of their necks.'
As all of this was going on the downed goddess was being placed onto a stretcher the Hindu pantheon were getting angrier angrier and it came to a boiling point when a rather hot blooded god took a broken piece of the stadium seats that had crumbled in the showing of the god's anger and threw it at the goddess.
Had the piece actually hit the goddess then it would have no doubt caused a war between the heaven's that would have ended human's problems with the gods in the worst way possible however much to the shock of the gods that debris when seconds away from hitting the goddess suddenly disappeared.
"How rotten."
The words coming from the first man drew everyone's attention to him who now had a pile of dust falling form his hand and was for the first time glaring at the gods in anger and disgust.
A sight the gods would never admit they found more than a little terrifying.
"Shiva fought her hardest risking her life in the process and you've got nothing but scorn and contempt." Here Adam snorted in disgust. "Every god and human are fighting with everything they have for their side while you the masses do nothing but spectacle from the safety of the stands and when it doesn't go your way you scream at the one who actually risked everything and did all the work. What a bunch of entitled brats." He hissed at the end before making turning to look at the spinner that had appeared to see who was next.
The Hindu gods meanwhile found themselves shocked that someone outside their pantheon, a human and their enemy no less was defending Shiva and they would only grow more shocked. "YOU TELL EM DAD!" Cain shouted standing up while backing up his father's words before facing the gods. "AND AS FOR YOU IF YOU THINK IT'S SO EASY WHY DON'T YOU ALL GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND TRY FIGHTING YOUR SELVES!" The first son of Adam shouted towards the gods which were soon joined in by the other humans.
"Yeah if humans are so easy to get rid off maybe you should try to get rid of us yourselves!"
"Yeah you all scream and shout towards Shiva for losing yet I don't see any of you taking a punch like she did!"
"Let's see some of you get in the arena and do better than Shiva did, though I highly doubt you can!"
As more and more humans were joining in shouting at the gods for slandering Shiva, the hound gods found small smiles soon coming to their faces none more so than Shiva's direct family that despite being enemies the humans still defended Shiva even if it was nothing more than fallowing their father's words.
As the shouting went on however the gods seemed to be getting angrier and anger but before any thing could blow there was a loud BANG and everyone turned to see Odin standing in the center of the arena and looked towards Heimdall. "Spin." She ordered and with a quick motion of her hand she was gone.
"Y-Y-Yes Ma'am!" Heimdall stuttered before motioning towards the spinner which immediately began to rotate. "And it's time for the rules and fighters of round 7 to be chosen everyone, what kind of match are we in for folks?! We'll find out in just a moment!" The announcer told the audience while the humans, gods sitting on the humans and the Hindu gods were leaning forward in anticipation the other gods were just sitting there, glaring darkly and muttering incoherently under their breathes.
"And it looks like its going to be a killing is allowed....how original." Heimdall muttered under his breathe before quickly shaking his head and getting back on track.
"And now its time to for the fighters to be selected!" Heimdall announced as the spinner got slower and slower until it settled on two names.
Hades vs Qin Shi Huang
At seeing the name of their next champion those from China especially those from the Qin dynasty instantly burst into a explosive cheering that shock the stadium. "Hao! My turn at last, and against another king no less!" The king cheered before turning on her heel and rushing off. "I must prepare immediately!" She shouted already disappearing down a corridor while her valkyrie partner screaming at her to slow down as she chased after the first king.
Meanwhile on the side of the gods a lot of the gods didn't exactly seem happy that yet another greek god was fighting for them, especially the older brother of two what should have been guarantee victories only for them to end in crushing defeats.
They didn't voice any of this out loud however, Hades reputation being far worse than Shiva on her best day and none had the gall to even think about bad mouthing the king of Helheim so all they could do is settle for once more muttering under their breathe as they waiting for the next match to start.
Up in the private stands Hades hummed as he got up and so he could prepare for his match. "So what are you planning on doing brother?" This sudden question from Poseidon who was still watching humans and gods alike exit the arena caused the elder sibling to go stop as he looked towards his little sister. "And what do you mean by that?" He asked causing Poseidon to sigh in annoyance. "I mean how do you plan on fighting your match?" The sea goddess asked. "I don't think I need to stay that the humans so far have been much more powerful than we ever imaged. So I'm asking how you plan on fighting your match?" Poseidon asked the smallest hint of concern barley present in her voice.
Hades heard it however and let a tiny smile come to his face. "You don't need to worry I was always planning on going all out from the start, the fact that humanity was this strong more than justifies this." Hades reassured his younger sibling. Hearing this Hermes raised in eyebrow. "Oh does that mean you'll be using-?" Here Hades raised a hand to silence her but gave her a nod. "Indeed though I'd rather keep it a secret until the match starts. After all." He said with a chuckle as he looked towards the viewing window. "You never know who's listening." He told them before walking away to prepare for his fight.
Hermes was briefly confused by what her Uncle was talking about before it turned to amusement when Loki appeared from above pouting and her arms crossed. "How does he always do that?" She grumbled recalling all the times she tried to sneak up on the eldest brother only for him to discover her before she could reveal herself and always revealed her when she was trying to listen in to one of his private conversations.
"He's always been like that for as long as I can remember ." Poseidon said finally standing up and begun to leave the room. "And just where are you going?" The green haired goddess asked wondering what the sea tyrant could possibly have to do when her older brother is about to fight." Poseidon didn't bother stoping her stride as she left the room merely saying. "Keeping a promise." as she left the room leaving Hermes and Loki to stare at each other confused before rushing after the goddess more than a little curious on what kind of promise would take priority right now.
Line break.
"I'm here watching it and yet I'm still doubting it's real." Hermes muttered with Loki nodding in gaping mouth agreement as they watched the sea tyrant coach and give instructions to a young child with a water ability similar to an actual coach. Turns out Poseidon was true to her word about helping Kota with his water quirk having actual begun his lessons after Lu Bu's fight with Hercules.
"Y-Yeah it's great that Kota is getting some help." Izuku said as he along with the rest of the regular group was watching the training going on along with Eri and the Pussycats with Mandalay constantly worried for Kota and the other 3 trying to keep their leader from having a heart attack.
"But uh Ms.Loki." Izuku went on to the goddess he just meet while looking down. "Do you think you can get off me?" He asked trying not to look up at the goddess who chose to use his shoulders as her seat and wrap her legs around his neck. "Awwww but Izuku~!" She whined jumping off his shoulders but immediately locked him into a hug. "The tournament is almost over, and after it is we won't see each other for at least a thousand years!" She continued to whine only to yelp when she was pulled of by Thor who held her in a hand. "Behave." Thor told the deceit goddess causing said goddess to huff with cross arms and look away.
Smiling in relief Izuku nodded towards Thor who returned it before going to speak with Lu Bu with Loki still trapped her in grasp who waved at him as she was carried away.
"Hao what a spirited lady!" Izuku heard from behind him causing him to see Qin and Alvitr approaching them with the king having a smile and the valkyrie looking like she was about to start fighting the king herself.
"Oh Qin got everything ready for your match?" Izuku asked with the king nodding happy while her partner just grumbled and went to go join her sisters not wanting to be near the idiot any longer than she needs to.
"Hao, indeed and now all I need to spend some time with my future husband and I know I will win!" She told Izuku who let out a small sigh before facing the blindfolded king. "Qin you know I'm not staying after Ragnarok is over right? I have my own world to go back to, my own people how need my help and I really don't see how you think we can-." Izuku was unable to continue talking as Qin suddenly captured his mouth with her own, The kiss barley lasted 5 seconds but it was enough to shut Izuku up. "Nothing is impossible Izuku, not in this or any other world." She told with. voice full of confidence and certainly as if there were was simply no other choice in the matter.
Izuku hearing those words and the way she said it made him think back to all the people he meet as well as the memories of the devil fruit users he had. Their dreams, their ambitions, their drive, their beliefs all different but more often than not most willing to fight to the bitter end and die rather than surrender them to anyone else and live a life of regret.
With this in mind Izuku couldn't help but grin at the determination of the king and even though he wasn't exactly sure how they would still be able to see each other, not without the help of someone like that beyonder bastard and gave a nod towards the king as the two simply sat in silence watching and waiting for the next match which hopefully would bring humanity another step closer to safety.
Line break,
The arena had once more been changed the floor now had cracks running all over the floor along with with tours made of bones and skulls at the 4 corners with each having been let a flame. "Well here we go again." Izuku muttered as he along with the rest of the group including a recently rejoined Adam and his panther were actually sat in the greek private viewing box having been invited by both Poseidon and Hermes to join them in watching the match.
They also were joined by Thor and Loki along with Aphrodite who would have suffocated Izuku with a hug upon finally getting him in arms reach had it not once again been for Thor who by now had sat by full time ready for any more threats
"Indeed and I truly haven't the slightest idea of who could win the match." Hades admitted and it was true what she said. By all logic Hades should have this won easily, having accomplished the impossible so many times before and was known as the most dependable of the elder Olympian siblings. However every human before her as well as the score proved everything she used to think about gods and humans to be false along with the fact that both Poseidon as well as Zeus having lost well Hermes wasn't exactly going to be betting her life savings one ether side of the match.
"Well what ever happens I just want it done soon, the gods are really starting to making me jumpy." Soji muttered seeing that the gods seemed to be completely silent at this point and were just staring blankly at the arena completely still as if just waiting for something to set them off.
"Well they're not all bad just look towards the human seats." Adam told the young swordsman as he pointed towards the where the human section was where not only had more gods joined the ones from before having grown weary of their fellow deities but also 1116 of the Hindu Pantheon minus Shiva's family who was visiting her in the medical wing having been touched by what the humans said about their number 1 goddess while growing disgusted with how their fellow deities trashed her.
Their conversation came to and end once the lights died down and Heimdall once again took to the stage. "5 to 1. The humans now lead 5 to 1. With simply two more victories they will earn their right to live for another 1000 years!" Heimdall exclaimed much to the cheering of humanity and even some of the gods that were sitting with them. "However with a matchup like the one we have now there's no telling who's going to come out on top so buckle up folks it's going to be a crazy ride!" He promised before turning to humanity's side as the cheering continued not noticing a large group of people head toward the entrance gate.
"First for humanity is she!" Heimdall started with a monk giving a small bow before banging on a gong as the shadows finally stopped just over the gate reveling themselves to be the former emperors of China being led by Zhu Yuanzhang (first emperor of Ming), Liu Bang (first emperor of the former Han) and Liu Che (seventh emperor of the former Hun)
"You know this is my first physical job in quite some time." Liu Bei Xuande (first emperor of Shu) noted with a grin as he and the others were lifting a giant object rolled up. "To hold up the one who is the cornerstone of our nation is out honor as emperors of China" Countered Cao Pi Zihuan ( first emperor of Wei) countered while Sun Quan Zhongmou (first emperor of Wu) laughed "Right you are!" He continued to laugh only to be told to shut it by Liu Bang and ordered everyone to focus before as one tossed the object into the air causing it to unroll into a majestic red carpet leading high into the arena and that is where Qin along with her partner appeared.
Seeing the fighter ready to start Heimdall began the introduction.
"It all began with this woman!"
Hearing Heimdall start Qin slowly made her way down the red carpet along with Alvitr.
"She annexed and overthrew the six kingdoms of waring states in the blink of an eye. She delivered a swift end to China's greatest periods of turmoil, lasting more than 550 years-- The spring, the Autumn and the warring states!"
As the introduction was going on Qin allowed a small smile to come to her face and raced her hand in getting while Alvitr rolled her eyes in annoyance as they walked.
"Where there was no road she pathed it!
Where there was no castle she made it!
She accomplished a feat which none had before, uniting all of China's land into one!"
"He, who was the first in all human history to reach the supreme ruler of heaven Huangtian Shangdi!"
By now the two had reached the bottom and Qin had reached down to pick up Alvitr causing her to grumble with a blush.
"Calling herself thus, the first emperor!"
Here Qin crouched low before leaping high into the air as the past emperors joined in with Heimdall to finish the introduction."
"QIN SHI HUANG!"
As the human side exploded into applause and cheers Qin looked towards her partner who she was still holding in her arms. "Ready?" She asked with a grin causing Alvitr to growl towards the king but nod before disappearing in a bright light and reveal the shoulder plate and armor she had taken before only this time twelve small holes six on each side appeared on the armor.
Qin looking over her Völundr grinned with a nod. "Hao." She said before facing Heimdall with a nod, Seeing this Heimdall let out small gulp before beginning the introduction of the god fighter.
"And from the depths of Helheim itself comes this god." Heimdall began his introduction sparing a glance towards the gods side and noticed not a single one of them has made a single move. While the gods on the human side and the humans that knew grew nervous especially considering just who it was that Qin was facing which grew when the god finally emerged from the door way and slowly approaching Qin.
"When this god walks the whole world trembles, and when he scowls all before him bow down! Cerberus the watch dog of hell droops his head to him, Typhon the most fearsome of mounters purrs like a kitten! The eldest of the 3 strongest siblings in Greece and King of the netherworld!"
"HADES!" Heimdall finishend the introduction as Hades and Qin stood a little over a dozen feet apart from each other. "The "King to rule all of China" Qin She Huang! And the "King of the netherworld" Hades!" Heimdall continued around moving out of the way. "Ragnarok round 7, king vs king! This is the real deal! The match to deicide which king stands on top!" Heimdall continued before resining his hand.
"And-""Hold on a moment!" Heimdall not expecting the interruption tripped over his own two feet and scrambled to get back up as quickly as possible though his face still burned when he heard the snickering. "Yes is there something you need?" He asked Qin who had been the one to interrupt.
"Yes actually because there is something my fellow king and I must do before we start our battle." She declared before snapping her fingers and out of the human gate came a maid holding a tray that held two cups and a pitcher.
The girl as seemed to be trembling violently as she approached the pair, head down and not saying a word not even when she made it to the pair, her head lowered even when Qin was taking the pitcher and one of the cups as Hades took the other. The maid gave a quick bow to the two before heading out of the arena still trembling violently.
"Poor thing, wonder what could have possibly happen to her to cause her to shake so much." Qin said remembering having found the girl when she placed her order and while she seemed startled she was more than happy to fill her request.
"Perhaps it's the fact that you forced her to come out in front of how many set of eyes just to deliver a drink." Hades guessed dryly while putting his eye piece in his jacket pocket for safe keeping while Qin poured the drinks before handing one to Hades.
"So this is the reason you wanted to postpone our fight?" Hades asked staring at the drink in his hand while muttering a small spell to detect any poisons or other harmful substances only to find completely regular Honey Mead. "Yup figured you and I could have a little talk between kings before we begin." Qin proposed.
"My she certainly does things her own way doesn't she?" Hermes laughed a bit. "Wonder what would have happened if she and Zeus had meet in different circumstances?" The messenger goddess to groan and place her head in her hands. "Be silent Hermes, that statement alone is going to be giving me nightmares for weeks." She groaned causing those in the both to laugh at the sea goddess expense. "Oh this whole tournament was completely worth it if it meant we get to see this Poseidon more often." Aphrodite whispered to Loki who nodded in complete agreement,
The ones in the private both weren't the only ones laughing as Hades let out a few chuckles. "You certainly don't mince your words do you? Very well I shall indulge you." He told his opponent who grinned. "Fantastic! Now first why did you agree to fight in Ragnarok?" Qin asked with Hades raising in eyebrow. "Because it's an older siblings job to look after the younger ones, and with both Poseidon and Zeus entering I couldn't just stand around doing nothing." Hades told her the honest truth taking a drink from his cup. "And what about you?"
"It's a kings duty to protect their people and just because I'm no longer the king of China doesn't mean I have an obligation to my people." Qin answered before taking a mighty gulp of her drink before going to pour more. "So we both entered to protect those that we care about, it seems like humanity is doing a better job at that than I am." Hades muttered the last bit lowly before taking another drink. "Are you speaking of your brother Zeus?" Qin asked lowly while Hades remained silent. "If you're thinking about trying to take revenge and kill Izuku I'm afraid you'll find it's not the easiest task for a multitude of reasons." Qin warned tensing up slightly only to get waved away from Hades.
"Rest assured I have plans or desire to kill the green haired boy. I watched the entire fight, I saw the times where he gave my brother a chance to surrender and I also saw that had I been there and tried to step in my brother was likely to have attacked me just as much as he did his opponent." Hades told Qin while refilling his own cup.
Satisfied Qin nodded. "So is there reason you're still fighting in Ragnarok?" She asked causing Hades to shrug. "Pride perhaps, gotta show that the Greek pantheon is still worthy of respect considering how out of our 5 losses, 3 of them game from Greek gods." Hades admitted. "It could also be the fighting spirit in me, all children of Kronos have it regardless of how much they deny it." Here Hades spared a glance towards where he knew his sister was sitting and could almost see her twitching eyebrow.
By now the 2 kings could tell that the crowd was getting restless just watching them drink and talk and the mead was getting low so they emptied it into their cups and with a final toast finished off the drink before abruptly truing around and walked back to the starting positions throwing up their cups in the air behind them which each hitting the ground with a clank as they stood ready to fight.
Heimdall seeing this immediately raised his hand. "And now let the 7th round of Ragnarok, the final battle between god and man begin!" Heimdall roared.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Instantly explosions rocked the stadium as dust clouds covered the arena. "It and seems that this battle of kings is already of the an explosive start with nether fighter in sight!" Heimdall started his commentating only to shield his eyes as a bright eye emerged from the dust causing everyone to cover their eyes while they adjusted to the light and when they did and the spectators could see properly everyone's draw dropped at the sight.
"What the-what the hell is that?!" Loki cried seeing the massive thing behind the king of the underworld. "Oh that? Well that is Lord Hades' Gate of Babylon." Hermes told the goddess of deceit as she and all those not from the Greek pantheon who staring at the thing in open mouthed terror. "How is lord Hades capable of something like this?" Thor muttered in shock. "I understand he's the world of the underworld but even this is a too much don't you think?"
Poseidon sighed as she gave the answer everyone was looking for. "My brother has many titles, king of the dead, king of the underworld, king of Helheim the list goes on. But there's one that most people tend to forget." Poseidon told those assembled which each giving her their full attention.
"The wealthy one, or the giver of wealth." Poseidon told them causing the gods eyes to widen at the reminder of those titles while the humans and valkyries started to sweat slightly at the implications. "So what your saying is that should it have come from the earth, like jewels metal, gold-." "Hades has command over it yes." Poseidon answered the question Raiden tried to ask before sparring a glance towards Izuku expecting him to be in somewhat the same state of those not in the known only to see his eyes focused squarely on the gate or rather the weapons sticking out of it as if trying to memorize each and every last one of them all the while muttering under his breathe.
Sighing Poseidon turned back to the fight not even looking when Hermes whispered to her. "So it sees Lord Hades is choosing to get serious straight away. Do you think the human has a chance?" The messenger asked causing Poseidon to go silent for a few seconds before finally answering.
"Hades had always been the one god the Greeks can always rely on, stoping the titans knocking Zeus out of one of his moods I doubt there is anything Hades can't do. However humanity has proven time and time again during this Ragnarok that they have the means and ways to overcome whatever god that has tried to stop them, to the point that our only win came from a demon, and one from another world at that."
"I'm not saying my brother can't win, but I am saying that there is no way it's going to be this easy." Poseidon watching as Hades finally ended the barge of weapon firing and looked around carefully for any sight of his opponent.
Hades once his barrage had ended knew he needed to be careful, like his sister he knew it was impossible for such an assault to wipe out a fighter of humanity so easily so keeping his guard up he looked around carefully, looking for any changes and any indication on where to fire next.
What he wasn't expecting what for a force so powerful from behind that it rocketed him straight into the wall nor two fire balls to suddenly fly towards him only to be destroyed be a couple of laughed swords from the Gate of Babylon. "Sorry about that your majesty." Qin's voice said suddenly coming from in front of him.
"But as I'm sure you're aware." The voice said this time the owner revealing herself infant of him as well as showing of her armor plates which had a few new additions.
Twelve new additions in fact.
"But a king always has to have another trick up their sleeve!"
To be continued.
Yeah to begin I'm just going to say this is my worst chapter of this story yet.
I tried to make the fight between Shiva and Adam exciting I really did but I always found the fight between Raiden and Shiva the worst and most boring in the entire series and was much more interested Loki vs Buddha moments rather the fight itself.
Along with the fact I've got moments for the two to shine later in the series along with me wanting to get to this as well as everything else I've got planned and I kinda just forced this out as soon as possible. For that I apologize and I promise it won't happen again.
As for what else happened the gods seem to be losing more and more of their senses as the matches go on and it shows no sigh of stopping any time soon along with Loki and Aphrodite meeting Izuku off scream, I promise you'll get more interactions between them in the future.
As well as a talk between two great kings as well as the start of the match showing it's not going to be an easy fight for either of them.
Now I don't know when I'm going to start the next chapter but it should be soon and after that I still got a few things to write for this before I write a chapter or two for something else just so I don't burn out on this story, which I really don't want to do.
Until next time,
Bye
