Chapter 1037 Tiamat part 4

Although the eleven spawns of Tiamat only had physical abilities, each one of them is at least on a battle-oriented God level. But the worst part about them was their unpredictability due to their freely transforming body and durability that seems to stem from the black mud below them.

Kisuke saw that Yoruichi was having trouble against them to the point that she had already taken several hits that caused injuries since she also had to defend Serafall. However, he couldn't help them. Even though he'd struck a deal with Tiamat beforehand, to avoid any suspicion from Chaos, both of them were going at each other's throat for real and even if Kisuke were to die at Tiamat's hand, the latter would only consider that the deal had fallen apart.

Kisuke took some distance from Tiamat and kept firing his high-powered Ceros, causing massive explosions on each hit, but Tiamat's natural defenses had strengthened further after her transformation.

As a form of retaliation, Tiamat would have her now freed arms cause various phenomena like Kisuke's arm suddenly catching on fire or the space around him solidifying for a second or two. He was fascinated and wanted to figure out how she's doing this because there was no rhyme or reason for these abilities. In other words, there was no logic behind her 'Magic' that he could find as it would just spontaneously happen without any regard to the cause and effect.

'If I were to categorize it, it's in the realm of 'Creation'.' Kisuke thought while dodging the expanding air within his chest and the invisible blade that nicked the side of his neck.

Since all he has to do is to wait, Kisuke's only focus was to understand Tiamat's abilities while also keeping her attention only on him since any attacks from her to Yoruichi could spell fatal for the latter.

Zeus, Odin, and Ouranos were discretely trying to get away with Fels' help and they soon reached a dense forest. But as soon as they entered the forest, two people came into view.

"Yo~ Three old men and an old skeleton. Where are you going?"

"Loki," Zeus muttered and also saw Riveria behind her.

"Are you planning to sneak in?" Loki asked another question, but instead of the casual demeanor from earlier, there was a threatening aura manifesting around her now, "You've got a death wish?"

Odin stepped forward and said, "Move aside Loki. Tiamat mustn't die."

"Tiamat. Is that her name? What do you guys know?"

"It doesn't matter. What's important is that Tiamat cannot disappear from this world." Odin didn't comply and his fellow Gods also didn't give an answer.

Loki's narrow eyes opened and there was obvious fury within them, "Even if it means letting that giant lady lay waste to the entire Lower World?"

The three of them became quiet for a few moments before Ouranos stepped out and said, "We could safeguard the souls of the children back to Heaven. And within a few millennia, life could start within the Lower World once again."

"Stop messing with me!!!" Loki yelled at them, "Who are you to decide that!?"

Zeus sighed, "Like how you and Freya sealed your children's memories, it was also the same for the Gods. It's hard to explain since those who were able to recover from this seal were bound by a curse of 'silence'. If you want to know more, escape the seal first."

"W-what?" Loki was stunned and even Riveria behind her was surprised.

"You heard me. Everything you know about this world's inception was a sham." Zeus added.

Concerned, Odin grabbed Zeus' shoulder, "Zeus... Any more and the curse will flare up."

Riveria pulled that silenced Loki to the side and spoke up, "Then what do you plan to do, Lord Zeus? Are you planning to stop Kisuke and the others with your Divine Avatar sealed?"

Zeus reassured his comrade before answering, "Since we have a way of escaping the seal, don't you think we also have a way to go over the current restriction?" And as soon as he finished speaking, streaks of lightning started flashing in and out of his body.

At the same time, Odin and Ouranos looked at each and sighed while shaking their heads with wry smiles on their faces. Soon after Zeus, Odin's thin body began to bulk up and an incredible heat started emitting from him. Although not as affluent, the air around Ouranos grew heavy to the point that no normal person would be able to breathe around him.

"...You guys..." Loki muttered with an unbelieving expression, "You're already in your Divine Avatars!"

"Even if it means destroying ourselves, we can't let Tiamat disappear no matter how low of a chance that is." Zeus added and looked towards Riveria, "Are you going to stop us?"

"Yes." Riveria nodded before turning around to the ongoing battle, "Is what I'd like to say. But it's already over."

Zeus, Odin, and Ouranos were shocked at her words and hurriedly conjured a floating screen, only to see five 100-meter tall stone pillars that were connected to each other via chains on top, surrounding Tiamat.

Kisuke dodged a blast of the high-energy beam and finally saw Tiamat's forehead cracking, 'It's the time!'

Tiamat also noticed the crack and knew that she wasn't hit by any attack on it. In fact, Kisuke avoided attacking her head for some unknown reason so she had no idea what the crack represented.

Kisuke looked down and saw that the ice had already controlled the majority of the black mud and thought, 'Thanks to that, this will be a lot easier. Just like we've planned. I'm leaving the rest to you, Benihime.'

Kisuke immediately threw his sword towards a certain spot and Benihime was instantly submerged in the black mud. Thanks to Serafall's ice, however, Tiamat's authority over this space had weakened and it became a lot safer for Benihime to traverse the chaotic and corrupting black mud.

A few seconds later, the spot where Benihime disappeared briefly lit up before five towering stone pillars connected by a chain emerged from the mud and surrounded Tiamat.

Tiamat didn't know what was going on but she knew that those stone pillars were not good for her and decided to destroy them. However, before she could gather enough power, a suppressive and compressing force suddenly came smashing at her from all sides, causing her whole body to contract and become immovable.

She tried to struggle by commanding the energies around her but that too was instantly suppressed within the space of the stone pillars.

Naturally, Benihime, who took control of the formations that Kisuke had left in Orario, wouldn't give her a chance and immediately activated the second phase of the seal as hundreds of half meter wide white cloths emerged from the mud and started wrapping around Tiamat's whole body.
