Chapter 688: Hyperrellion Deity Beetle
"What gave me away?" Kadeon asked with a smile barely containing the fury I could see in his eyes.
"If I am stuck here, you would want to be here to finish me off. I wasn't completely sure, but the so-called leader of this group would have more tact and not get so angry. I wasn't talking about them, right?" I asked, but then kept speaking when he tried to say something. "So, weird ex-father-in-law or something, what is your game? You got me here, somehow, but there is only you...
And all those witches, but they don't really count since they have to maintain control of the barrier? Don't bother answering, because, unlike you, I am a True God, and you are just a child playing with a sharp stick."
Kadeon's eye twitched, but then he sighed and I noticed his demeanor shift. "Countless years that stretch on past billions at this point have passed at this point-"
"16,023,776,433 at this point, not that anyone is counting," I said, cutting the parasite inside Kadeon off. "So, this was all your idea? Or is this his last-ditch effort to try and stop me? You and I both know that my girls can handle the remaining Zodiacs and even some Chaos Beasts."
"This is his plan, but Eldritch is helping him. While you might think that your women are strong, the floodgates have been opened. All the Chaos Beasts will descend on your new city where many of your precious world inhabitants are gathered. You know what this means, right?
History will repeat itself just like it always does, and you will lose everything," Matthias's voice said through Kadeon's mouth, and then I punched him, sending him out of my house through a wall in the blink of an eye.
I sighed. That was a bit more concerning, and now I felt like I shouldn't be messing around in there with the three idiots stuck in one body. I closed my eyes and opened them in front of Truth, who frowned at me.
"What are you doing here? Things were just starting to get good! I can't see past any of this, so it is pretty much prime TV for me! No, get back in there!" Truth growled at me in his massive dragon form that was curled up watching a large screen that was basically my view of what had just happened.
"Hey! Maybe tell me how I can get out of this so I can get this show on the road?" I asked and then warned. "Don't mess with me, Truth."
The dragon gave me an "as if" look, and I narrowed my eyes. "Do you not remember who is sealed in my body? Who I made a pact with? Or should I just invite her in, and you two can watch me together, and talk about your feelings!"
"Don't you dare bring that damned woman into my house! You hear me, boy?!" Truth snapped, turning into a white humanoid with no features instantly before me and grabbing my shirt.
"Then answer my damn question. If anything happens to Breya, or my child, or any of my damn women, I will enchant five copies of Akasha to spend the rest of eternity with!" I snapped, not in the mood for Truth's games this time.
"Alright, alright," Truth said, letting go of my shirt, and then pointing to his large screen. "There is a hole, and it leads to another hole, and there is a small gap between them, and there is a bug somewhere in that space. The bug is a Hyperrellion Deity Beetle, and it will prevent you from escaping.
Catching it will be the easy part, but Kadeon and the Eldritch are not going to let you do that so easily. This is something the old monster has been planning, and you gave most of your power away, just like he probably planned. The rest of your women will be busy with the Zodiacs and the Chaos beasts that will be appearing all over the world."
"And what are they going to do with me?" I asked, knowing the answer.
"End your life. You would have a better chance at killing Kadeon than finding the bug. The beetle's ability to seal being like you isn't nefarious, but more of a test that you have to complete after finding one. It is a way for godlings and gods to challenge each other, while also getting a very good bonus after," Truth explained, and I rolled my finger.
"And what is this bonus?"
"A luck charm for currencies. While gods can create almost anything, you are not like me. You still need power to create things, or there might come a time when you don't have all your power like now and before you realized who you were. This is also not limited to money, but anything one would wish to trade. You might even consider the beetle to be a Charm of Trade.
Regardless, the Hyperrellion Deity Beetle will stay hidden until one of you is dead."
I nodded at this but then paused. "How do I kill him? When I hit him just now, it was like hitting something even harder than a diamond. The same thing happened when I tried to choke him."
"Did you not pay attention to anything we were watching?" Truth asked, and I shook my head. "That is what the Blood Witches are doing. They are using their life force to create a barrier that prevents you from being able to hurt the vessel of Kadeon. You need to deal with them, but I don't have any answers for you other than you are on your own.
They are all women that hate you because you never would return their love. They are all cases just like Xena; Women from your past life that Kadeon has collected to use against you. None of them are being controlled or forced to give their lives for this barrier, they are all volunteers. Some were promised power, or immortality, or love, or whatever, but all have given up their lives for this.
There are about fifty Blood Witches, and they will be the ones maintaining the barrier, but Kadeon will also attack you. There is a good chance that he might even try and kill them just to get into your head and mess with you."
I gritted my teeth at all of this. Things kept getting progressively worse, and I needed to think of a way out of this.
