Chapter 238: God Vs Godslayer.
"Ikaris!" Dina called exerting her newfound divine mana in her demigod state and lighting the way of an endlessly deep hole, at her side using the light she provided was Arla and right above them Sara was falling as well while Usami had used several spears to reach the corners of the hole and create a foothold for herself to retreat to the surface above.
"What happened?"
[From my observation, she tried to suppress the explosion brought by her baby's mana awakening, I managed to extend the dimension only in the direction her mana travelled in order to prevent a collapse but it has resulted in this terrain, I will take you to her.] Alpha answered and then there was a snap and all three of them disappeared and reappeared next to Ikaris who was at the very bottom of the hold with a small cloud of mana holding her above ground.
"Ikaris," Dina reached her side first and slowly rested her hand on her. "What the heck, she's unconscious."
"For now," Arla gestured to the top. "We need to get back to the surface, Alpha."
[Right away.] Alpha answered and zapped them back to the top. [I was able to prevent the collapse of my dimension but there seem to have been breaches near the epicentre.] Alpha appeared at her side and pointed across the damaged surface revealing small white cracks with bits of light shining through them.
"I have some data on their scanning systems but the Emporium is very advanced, I do not know if this was enough to alert them of Ikaris's presence," Alpha admitted and then looked at Ikaris once she started moving again.
"Milady-"
"Fuck," Ikaris groaned and opened her eyes startling Sara who was right at her side watching another facility appear while all the damage around them was fixed. "Is anyone hurt?" She looked around at them but nobody bothered answering her question and instead she was surrounded when a bed held her weight and Sara began taking supplies from her shadows.
"How are you feeling?" Dina asked her seriously, is the baby okay?"
"She is very ...anxious," Ikaris slowly looked down at herself and then the room that was erected around them as it was an exact replica of her and Sol's room back on earth. "Am I alright?" She asked as well seeking a portion of the bed beneath her leg wet before Alpha's powers removed the moisture and replaced the sheets without disturbing her at all.
"Milady, your water broke," Sara started scurrying around.
"Is that what happened?" Ikaris furrowed her brows and slightly cradled her belly.
"Precisely so," Alpha chimed in and then looked at the door just before Usami came running in. "Do not worry, you are in good hands, Sara has been constantly prepped by myself in preparation for this day ever since your conception, as have Dina and Arla, and Usami as well."
"What?" Ikaris looked at them all as they smiled at her taking her sides. "Every day in secret you all...?"
"We did not want to worry you about the small stuff so we have been preparing in secret, even Master has, but we all know why he can't be here right now," Arla smiled and held Ikaris's hand. "Milady, we love and want the best for you, we would not leave you in the hands of medical strangers," She smiled at Ikaris's sobered expression and squeezed het hand casting heal on everyone around.
"We are gathered for your sake," She smiled and then leaned closer and held Ikaris's arm when she winced and gritted her teeth letting out a pained groan and sucking in her breath.
"Contractions have begun." Sara continued scurrying to and fro, setting up everything they would need.
"Speaking of-" Alpha closed her eyes, dividing her consciousness and appearing at Sol's side from her pink with him. "Master," She looked up at him standing with General Hydra geld by his head and dangling lifelessly with a hole in his chest.
"Did something happen?" Sol looked around at her. "Is Ikaris okay, didn't I tell you to keep your focus on her I told you I wanted to focus here," He furrowed his brows in annoyance. "How are Dr'ul and the others?" He asked again.
"Milady is on labour-" Alpha was alarmed when Sol's mana suddenly collapsed and his Godslayer form reverted to the very base human causing him to stumble and then look around at her again with his eyes wide in worry.
"I should see her, is she okay -how's her mana, was there an accident, what's going on?" He spun on his heel and attempted to open a gateway directly to Ikaris but he was stopped by Alpha holding on to his other hand and shaking her head.
"Milady is in good hands, Master, but Dr'ul needs your help."
"Ikaris needs me I didn't leave them with anyone they couldn't manage-"
"Master." Alpha stared at Sol seriously.
"Another for has appeared, stronger than the others, many times stronger than all of them combined, if you do not help them now they will all die, do you want your daughter's birth to be commemorated by the death of your wife's younger brother's and sisters?" She asked, and Sol's face registered an unheavenly level of bitterness towards her, but she accepted his hostility with nonchalance and continued staring at him seriously.
"I may be a tad behind with my lack of a strong emotional spectrum, but even I understand that her needing you by her side is trumped by this, please choose your priorities more carefully."
"How strong is he for you to be this assertive?"
"You understand Dr'ul's power better than anyone else, he has overpowered her and her siblings all at once and continues to grow stronger because of a new drug-" Alpha's eyes widened and she looked at Sol again. "They are in danger, Master."
"Right." Sol ground his teeth and disappeared in a violent flash of golden mana reappearing above Dr'ul and raising his hand before her face saving her from getting her head smashed in.
"How did you come to this?" Sol asked, staring down at her, her arms and legs had been torn off and she was a torso at the end of her wits heaving heavily and coughing up golden blood, far off to the sides Adonai had no arms either, and his staff was stuck in the edge of reality pinning him down through the chest.
Further from him, S'mael was a mess of broken bones and torn muscles unable to move, and Renia was close to him unconscious with her entire lower half stuck in the chaos dimension.
"I was told the Godslayer had white hair, who is this new aberration?" The man asked, taking a calming breath and retreating several steps away from Sol who had managed to block his strike easily despite that same level of attack being able to dismantle the other Vatui he had been fighting. "Who are you?"
"I knew you would come," Dr'ul coughed and smiled at Sol healing a single hand and raising it to his head giving him a weak punch. "Always late to the beat, as usual, Godslayer..." She chuckled and then fell unconscious as well.
"She finally passed out?" The warrior chuckled and crackled his knuckles.
"Move aside pleb, I have to collect these vermin and take them back for harvesting, if you cause problems for me I'll just kill you where you stand, from where I stand you're not Vatui, so you're useless to me, hahaha what a harvest I made this time, these are the strongest I have ever seen or even heard of I want that redhead to make an aberrant suit, that nasty one with the fangs I want for PowerPoint, the other two can be used to improve my Vessels hehehahahahaha...
Huh?"
He stopped laughing abruptly when Sol's hair flashed white and then turned gold as his powers manifested like a wave around him and Dr'ul, and then Renia, Adonai and S'mael sending the readings in his right eye off their charts and breaking the scanner, ruining the function of his right after he had already destroyed the left

"So that is how it is, a Godslayer capable of hiding his power and by my readings, stronger than even the redhead... No wonder we never knew you existed."
"Alpha, take them to safety," Sol ordered the system, and she appeared at his side and waved her hands collecting the gods one by one and then looking at the man and then vanishing as well.
He would have reacted to Sol and the sudden appearance of a little woman that made the function of his suit glitch for a few seconds, but he already understood he was in some deep waters here, without hesitation he popped his right eye and tore it out, squishing it in his palm and revealing over a dozen small white pills in his bloody grasp and threw them all in his mouth.
"The pill he took that made him half Vatui!" Alpha warned Sol who had yet to look over his shoulder at the man as he knelt where Dr'ul was, staring at her blood and the massive cracks across the great barrier. "If he eats that many his power might become as great as yours, possibly greater-"
"I almost failed them." Sol sighed, standing and allowing his powers to continue rising tearing away at his golden armour and repairing it with the black one. "I almost got them killed because I tried getting through Hydra's head." He punched his chest denting his armour and then turning around and staring at the man. "Tell me your name, I want to know the name of the man who's about to die."
"Die? Me??" The man chuckled, swallowing the pills and feeling them dissolve within him.
"No, no, the one who does is you, Godslayer!" He started laughing. "You and those Vatui you serve are too slow, flexing your powers and allowing your opponents to use their trump cards kekeke!"
His hair became completely white and his eye regrew in its socket crimson and glowing while all his injuries steamed.
"Forget a galaxy, forget a universe hahaha with this much power inside of me, I can destroy thousands, tens of thousands with just a swipe of my hand!
I have become a true god, a real divine, a pure Celestial, I will kill every living being inside this entire collective and be hailed as a hero uncontested by anything or any- G-uuurgh!!!"
He shrieked in pain when Sol's fist connected with his chest and sent him flying straight through the barrier his back was facing and out into the emptiness.
"I don't want my collective to be destroyed because of my grudge, I allowed you to eat those ...even though I sensed what they were, I still let you eat them because I don't want you to die from one hit, I don't want you crumbling after a few either, I want you to suffer a proper beating, I don't understand what you are, and I don't care, go ahead, eat more, eat the rest you have on you, ten...
No fifteen." Sol walked with his guard down swaying slightly as golden waves of mana escaped his body burning the starless emptiness before him and healing the barrier behind him until it was closed completely.
"Every time I get really strong, my opponent becomes fragile, go ahead, eat them all, get stronger, I want to thoroughly destroy you like you did my comrades, I want to kill you when your pride is at its highest!" Sol's eyes overturned with pure gold and the rings rotating on his chest and back started humming as their speed increased.
He saw the man's hesitance as his chest healed and snapped like a mad dog grinding his teeth.
"Eat them, let's fight for real, God Vs Godslayer..."
"EAT THEM!"
