The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 148 - Battle Agains The Death Generals!(part Six)

"If only I had my hammer" Though Hephaestus.

While his fire was spreading towards a five-meter radius, Guiter wouldn't even get closed, he would just throw his sabers, to be more ridiculous, the sabers will return towards Guiter after finishing their trajectory.

"This is waiting too much of my soul power" Though Hephaestus.

Guiter still looked calm and cold lunching his sabers every time he saw a hole in Hephaestus's fire domain.

"Shit, let's go one on one them!" Shouted Hephaestus.

Suddenly, all the fire retracted and began to fuse on Hephaestus' hands!

"AHHHH!"

While the flames were concentrating on Hephaestus's hands, he couldn't help but cry in pain, his flames were too powerful after all, and given the fact that he had a mortal body… the pain was almost unbearable!

"COME ON!"

Hephaestus clenched his teeth, his eyes were bleeding, but, nevertheless, he ran towards Guiter.

"…Dangerous" Murmured Guiter.

He took several steps back and make some distance between him and Hephaestus.

"Don't run!" Hephaestus followed behind Guiter, however, he couldn't get close to him!

Meanwhile, the burns on his hands were getting more severed as the time passed.

"At this rate…!" Hephaestus was getting anxious, he tried to accelerate but he couldn't catch Guiter.

"DO IT!" Suddenly, a voice came to his ears.

When he looked at his side, a man with even more severe injuries than him was looking straight at him.

"You have more power inside of you… you can catch him if you turn ba-"

"NEVER! "

"I PREFER DEATH!"

Before Alfonso could finish his sentence, Hephaestus refuted and accelerate once more. After finishing Dipper, he tried to go to help the others, however, he realized that he was way to injured to help anybody, he would only an extra weight, so he decided to rest for a bit while drinking the juice of Hygiea.

However, just after that, he saw the fight between Hephaestus and Guiter, he knew that Hephaestus was consuming his soul power at an alarming rate!

Not to mention…

"he will become crippled if he used that ability with a normal body!" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso knew that Hephaestus had more energy inside of him, however…

"HEPHAESTUS!" Shouted Alfonso.

"SHUT UP!"

"I WON'T BECOME THAT MONSTER, NOT AGAIN!"

"I AM NORMAL"

"I DECIDED TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THIS!"

The flames on Hephaestus were getting out of control, Hephaestus knew that it was a matter of seconds before his body couldn't handle it!

"Damn!" Though Hephaestus.

Suddenly, a memory from the past came to his mind.

.............................................

"TRASH! Why did I have to have a son like you!?" Said an angry woman.

"I FEEL ASHAMED TO HAVE A SON LIKE YOU, MONSTER," Said a man sitting beside that woman.

"WHY DO I HAVE A BROTHER LIKE HIM!? HOW CAN I SHOW MY FACE AGAIN!?"

"Why don't you just die?"

"Yeah, go and die you monster"

"DIE"

"DIE"

"DIE"

.............................................

Hephaestus closed his eyes in pain, however, this pain didn't come from his body.

"Why did I do to deserve this?"

"I didn't want to be born like this!"

"Why nobody can accept me!?"

"WHY WAS I EVEN BORN!?"

Hephaestus keep having these thoughts while his hands lose the control of the flames and consumed the flesh of Hephaestus.

"YOU ARE NEEDED!"

A voice interrupted his thoughts when he opened his eyes, he saw the severe Alfonso standing up, even while his injuries were too severe to even move a finger.

He was standing right there.

Looking at him.

"YOU WERE BORN FOR A REASON"

"YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER"

"YOU ARE THE FUCKING GOD OF FIRE AND METALLURGY, WHO HAS SURVIVE THE TEST OF TIME THAT NOT EVEN YOUR FATHER COULD DO SO"

"BE PRIDE OF YOURSELF!"

Hephaestus looked with surprise at Alfonso, even Guiter stooped after listening at Alfonso's voice. His cold face made a small and almost undetectable smile.

"be pride of myself huh"

"If the first time someone said something like that to me and didn't come from my father nor my mother, not even form my brothers or sisters" Said Hephaestus.

"It came from a mortal that I barely knew for a few months"

"Hehe, you are indeed an interested human" Said Hephaestus.

"I have my answer now"

Hephaestus stood and the flame on his hands disappear.

Hephaestus turned around and looked at Alfonso with satisfaction.

"You are not like him," Said Hephaestus with a smile.

Hephaestus took a deep breath and then looked at the sky.

"I don't have to hide anymore" Murmured Hephaestus.

"Thanks for everything until now, Carites"

Suddenly, a black flame bath Hephaestus from head to toe.

After a minute, the black flames disappear, however, what appeared in the flames was someone else.

With a white hair and some wrinkles on his face, he had a huge smile. He was short and, despite having a belly, he had some muscles, no matter how you look at him, he only resembled one thing.

"A… Dwarf?" Though Alfonso.

A huge '?' sign appeared above Alfonso's head.

"But… impossible! The myths never mention him as a Dwarf, he supposedly was a skinny ugly man!" Though Alfonso.

"Alfonso" Talked Hephaestus.

"Yes?" Answer Alfonso.

"You don't see so disgusted about my appearance?" Asked Hephaestus.

"Well, it's because you resemble a certain race that I already knew about" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso only smiled and put his thumb down.

"Kick his ass!"

Hephaestus only smiled and, on his hands, flames began to appear once again, however, this time, the flames were not red like always… they were blue.

"Time for round two!"
