Shadow of Enlightenment

The Infernal Interduptor; belonging to the Hero, Seras Victoria.

That massive cannon that can fire literal beam nukes!

Holding this massive golden cannon, Alucard felt some apprehension…

The base destruction caused by this cannon was already ridiculous. If he fused it with his new god powers, what height could it reach?

He wondered if a single from this cannon would kill those women…Well, he will just revive Sanniang into his familiars if that was to happen, as for Aphrodite... she will just enter reincarnation.

He pointed the weapon at Aphrodite who was now charging an arrow. The latter, having never seen a cannon as big as that, felt some fear.

'What is that thing? Ares' artefact allows the user to create weapons he can comprehend, I have never seen anything like that before...'

*RUMBLE!*

A red hue started to charge at the gun's barrel, giving it an ominous feeling!

This was a weapon from the future! After a hundred years of technological development, it was still the second deadliest cannon in existence back in his world!

*RUMBLE!*

The atmosphere shook and Alucard felt his energy get depleted, but not his vampire energy, it was his divine energy, this beast really consumed a lot of energy... No wonder it needed the whole 'Enlightenment' to power it back then...

The gun let out a small click, and was now ready to be fired…

Aphrodite stood in her place, ready to deflect whatever 'bullet' left that big cannon and Yan Sanniang resurfaced only to see the cannon already charged.

Alucard pointed at Aphrodite, but decided to move his arm a little, just for security…

*CLICK*

He hit the trigger and what happened next, they would never forget.

*BOOOMMMM!!!*

A massive laser beam shot straight from the gun passing by Aphrodite's wide-opened eyes the next nanosecond.

She didn't even see it...

It shot towards the horizon.

...

Aphrodite lowered her gaze and saw how her shadow moved as a bright light shone behind her, as bright as the sun.

The light got brighter and brighter making her shadow bigger and bigger as it reflected on the sea, she glanced in Sanniang's direction, the latter was looking her way with a pale countenance, her visage contained nothing but pure fear...

It was then...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!*

The shockwave reached them with a vengeance! As her body shot like a ragdoll at supersonic speeds!

Just the shockwave was enough to fling her like a bullet towards the sea!

Aphrodite and Sanniang could only let themselves be shot to the sea like trash as the massive shockwave spread forth towards whichever coast was on the way!

High tides ensued and the massive storm they created with their fight was flushed clean!

The sky was clear once again with only the moon and a faint residual light shining on them, coming from the humongous mushroom that depicted the site of impact...

…

Alucard saw the gigantic mushroom with a serious expression.

Shit... It was worse than he expected... This was at least three times as strong as the one Seras shot back then... And that's not the worse part.

The worse part was that his energy was depleted, he reckoned with more energy the explosion would have been bigger.

He could technically hear Alcina's pants in his head, her switch got turned on…

The destruction created by that beam was mind-numbing even for him.

Far beyond even his expectations.

The beam had exploded farther than his 70km range could reach and those Kilometres journeyed in less than a second.

He couldn't see what happened there, but there was no doubt wherever it impacted, that place was no more...

It was then that a figure passed by him!

"Are you mad Ares? That thing could have sent me straight to reincarnation!!" Alucard heard Aphrodite's voice and she also slapped his head!

"Oi!" He huffed in irritation.

"'Oi', what?! That thing could have killed us bastard!" She held his collar and shouted at his face!

Yan Sanniang said nothing, her eyes still focused on the rising mushroom.

'That power…' it was ridiculous... There was no doubt that the destruction caused this time would be incalculable... This was a second catastrophe...

It's enough to devastate a good chunk of China!

She turned around finally as her eyes locked on his with complicated feelings.

"I admit defeat…" she said prompting the two to turn towards her.

Aphrodite sighed and released his collar, undusting herself. "I resign too, Alucard~" as if she had never almost been sent straight to nirvana, her gaze turned flirtatious, what woman doesn't like a strong man!? Or more like, what Goddess doesn't love a Powerful God?!

That attack was enough to turn her crotch wet, with many types of liquids might she add…

The three were prepared to return since the battle was finished, but at that moment...

Many booms were heard in the distance.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Figures appeared one after the other.

A man of advanced age.

Two half-naked twins?

A woman with golden hair, a black dress and a black mask.

Their appearance made Yan Sanniang frown, this situation wasn't good for her.

"What the hell are you doing Ares? Do you want to break the covenant of the gods!" The older man shouted with wrath, his power swelling.

Aphrodite stood between the man and Alucard, "Poseidon, it was a mistake, he was just testing his powers and went a little bit out of control."

"A little bit out of control you say! I felt the shockwave all the way to Europe!!" Out of the twins, the red-haired girl said with outrage!

The black-masked woman didn't say anything and only gazed at Alucard's way deeply.

"And you even get together with a woman from Hongmeng, what the hell are the two of you doing?" The girl continued her rant.

"Who is this little girl? Is she lost?" Alucard huffed at the girl's rant and decided to turn back at her.

"You!"

"Stop Artemis. Ares, I hope this incident won't repeat. Now that you have become a god, like us, you have to abide by the rules. You can't use godly powers against mortals or even create the degree of destruction you did today." The man beside the girl spoke.

"Thankfully you are in a big sea. Otherwise, the destruction would have been worse. Your attack will cause high tides in Korea, Japan and Taiwan at best, tsunamis at best." Poseidon said channelling his power through the sea to calm it down.

It would take a long time, but he was capable of doing it.

After witnessing the man's power first-hand, none of the gods wanted to be in a bad relationship with him, not due to fear, but due to the fact that he could be of great support. Just this scale of power put him at the level of Poseidon, Hera and Apollo, maybe even above... Equal to Zeus and Athena...

The gods present processed to present themselves one by one, except for the woman in the black mask.

Artemis, is a girl with a bad temper.

Apollo, a calm young man, apparently has something with his sister.

Poseidon, a stern old man.

Aphrodite, a flirtatious woman.

Hades, that weakling cunt...

Those were the gods he knew so far.

As for Athena...

"And you are? Or could it be that you're mute? The last time your spear went through my heart you talked more~" Alucard addressed her but the woman was imperturbable, however, that was only outwardly.

Inwardly... Her mind thought about the 'things' they did last time as well as his knowledge regarding the tree and the formation.

"Athena." Even if she already knew her identity, this was the first time she introduced herself.

Having said that, she left.
