Battle of Silent Creek Part 2

"Mr Chairman, we have received reports that Silent Creek has been attacked by a group of devils" a Secretary appeared next to the Chairman who did not even flinch at the news, he simply turned his gaze to the monitor, a woman appeared on it.

"What's your report, Susan?" The chairman asked nonchalantly, yet the secretary knew depending on Susan's answer it could become a blessing he ignores this situation or it will soon rain hell upon all of them when the chairman becomes furious.

"I have already relocated Scott, we intend to proceed with the plans to assassinate John Trelawny by using Scott's power to compel one of John's closest associates to kill him in public" Susan reported,

The chairman claps his hands with a bright smile on his face, "Excellent work, but can you convince the boy?"

"I did not manage to brainwash him entirely, but I managed to use the news of John sending Jamie to Silent Creek to gain his cooperation to deal with John," Susan said with a sinister smile,

"Hoho, excellent work. I look forward to hearing a decent reply from you" The chairman said with a gleeful smile, he turned to look towards the Secretary "Contact Diego, notify him to make the cannibals in Silent Creek to fight ferociously as if they are the main troops and then cut off any links he has with them, also send one of our subordinates to remove all pieces of evidence there are that links Nightrise with Silent Creek"

"Understood" The secretary did not question his orders and immediately moved to complete his orders,

The chairman stood up from his swivel chair walking towards the windows revealing the sight of the city where the headquarters were located at, a broad smile form on his face as he muttered "Devils? I guess it really is fate that the children of that traitor would get involved in this matter, perhaps this time Chaos can kill them off once and for all... Children of Solomon and the 72 pillars"

>\/<

"You will act as the leader of the Cannibals and lead the suicide attack if you succeed and survive you can return. But if not, death is the only way you can return to our master" Diego spoke with a voice devoid of emotions towards the man on the monitor.

Ever since he got the phone call from Nightrise he did not dare delay the orders, not like how he did back then when they attacked the dark elves to kidnap several children to turn them into supplements for the cannibals to grow stronger.

He still shivered whenever he thought of the chairman who looked so weak that a simple gale could blow him to his death, would contain such a terrifying killing intent making him appear like a slaughtering god.

"Yes Apostle, I will perform my sacred duty all for the sake of Chaos, our god and father" The man who appeared on the screen looked normal, like a man you can find anywhere in the streets of America. He appears so normal that one would not think he was a cannibal since most cannibals had deformed bodies from feasting on sentient beings like Humans, Elves, Devils, Angels, etc.

"Good, work hard for the day Chaos descend upon our world is neigh!" Diego said with a voice filled with crazed fanatism, even the man on the monitor had a similar expression as the two of them prayed to Chaos.

>\/<

Meanwhile, The old woman glared at Stephani "Are you done testing me?"

"Not really... but it will have to do" Stephani muttered, her eyes becoming pale gold while the holy aura around her body become purer, stronger.

"Hear my prayer, thee who sacrificed your life for thy worshippers. Crucify my enemies and allow them to repent for their sins!" Stephani sang a prayer while her holy aura spread with her at the centre, the moment the aura touched the sole of the old woman's feet a change occurred.

"Kyaa!!" The old woman who screamed out in surprise sounded quite young which was surprising, yet the holy aura became like snakes, entangling her body to the point she could not move till the restrictions began to forcibly bring her feet together and her arms spreading sideways. a Cross made out of holy light materialized behind the old lady holding her firmly against it.

The holy aura began to penetrate her wrist and ankles, yet before the crown made out of thorns could be placed upon her head. The old woman immediately bellowed like a beast before dark aura erupted from her body blasting away the holy cross yet could not affect the holy domain Stephani managed to set up at all.

"Die!" The old woman knew she could not do anything to Stephani, she really underestimated this young girl thus she chose to attack Jamie who was defenceless.

Stephani who saw Jamie standing dumb was about to move till a magic circle ordered her to stop, she glanced anxiously watching the old woman approach Jamie with a sinister smile filled with feelings of victory.

Without hesitations, the old woman swings her scythe downwards towards Jamie, yet a shadow figure suddenly appears before Jamie. The sound of flesh tearing apart, blood spurting out like a fountain soaking Jamie in it and the floor around him. Jamie who witnessed the entire process could only widen his eyes in horror when he saw Mr Feather was sliced in half, "No---"

"*Cough* I-I did not get to say this before... but I knew of that tattoo, *Cough* Our ancestors left a prophecy that once that tattoo appears we should give our all to support the children, for you bear a greater burden than we do" Mr Feather spoke honestly to Jamie, collapsed on the ground, it was thanks to Stephani's energy that was keeping him alive to say his final words.

"Why--- Why did you save me!?" Jamie cried out, his heart was aching. For the first time he witnessed someone dying to protect him, yet he could not understand if he was worth it. To live.

"Because you need to live Jamie *Cough*... Don't hide your powers, because one day you will face your true enemy. *Cough Cough* At that time, the battle you will fight would be for the sake of the world" Mr Feather spoke with a wry smile covered in blood, his eyes slowly closed and at that time he really left this world.

'Why?' Stephanie asked,

[Because this is the fastest way to wake him up, he has incredible powers and dares not use it. Only through despair would he realize that the life he is living is dangerous, and only by using his power would he be able to protect what he wants] Masaru explained, he had monitored the entire process through his magic. He did not feel guilty towards using Mr Feather for his plans, as the man himself moved and Masaru simply detected and made use of the moment.

[Now feast your eyes on the power of the five] Masaru said with a smile, [This is the potential of real human heroes]

"Cut off your head" Jamie muttered, his eyes were bloodshot from crying, his throat was sore. Yet he clearly spoke while his consciousness penetrated itself deeply into the woman's soul causing her body to shiver before her eyes became vacant.

Without hesitations she nodded, with a swing of her scythe she severed her own head from her body before collapsing on the floor. Jamie who snapped out of his rage saw the scene he caused immediately began to puke whatever contents were still left in his stomach, 'I--- I killed someone'

Jamie felt cold, he finally had blood on his hand as well just like his brother who once killed their first adoptive parents who tried to separate them at the start before they were moved to their latest adoptive parents. Glancing at the headless woman's body he still felt the urge to continue to vomit, but he could now more or less control the urge.

Stephani who saw the process could not help becoming pale, the fear of being controlled was something she could not fathom but she felt fear instinctively to this boy 'This--- Can we trust someone like this?'

[Naturally, since their power is geared to work against the Old Ones and their subordinates. It's powerful only against them, but against us, it will be regular attacks, and this boy's mental power should be about False Ultimate Class so he can naturally not do a thing to you, nor can he read your mind] Masaru said with a reassuring tone.

"Do you understand Jamie?" Stephani said with a solemn voice causing Jamie to turn his attention towards the girl who now appeared the way he first met her, her power over angels had deactivated. "If you don't want to lose those you care for, you must have the resolve to kill"

"Resolve to kill?" Jamie asked, wondering if this was what Scott felt that day when he ordered that man to hang himself when he mentioned splitting Scott and Jamie.

Stephani glanced at the dead Mr Feather, clasping her hands together "May you rest in hell" causing Jamie to look at her with a shocked expression.

>\/<

"Kuku, to think we would be pushed to the brink of extinction" the average human man appeared floating right above the prison alarming Angelica, Everest, Sakura and Stephani who heard his voice clearly despite it coming from the outside.

"My brethren, the Cannibals are at the edge of extinction. We have but one way to survive! EAT! KILL AND EAT OUR ENEMIES!" The man roared out loud, he glanced at Everest who did not appear in his sight yet he could sense her accurately, licking his lips "I shall start with the dragon" He spoke with a sinister smile.

SWOOSH

KABOOM!

The man dodged the incoming transparent sphere compressed with strange substance, yet the moment the sphere touched the prison. It exploded with shockwaves spreading out in each direction like a tsunami wave, smoke rose into the skies like a mushroom which made the man shiver slightly at the thought what that sphere could possibly be.

Atomic Explosion!?

When the explosion settled, the prison was still mostly intact while the rest was utterly devastated. Masaru made sure to erect barriers in the location where the inmates and guards were located at, while sending off a signal for John Trelawny's men to start their movement in the meantime.

"I don't think you should touch anyone" Masaru muttered as he stepped out the void, wearing a silver robe with amber coloured flame patterns read the borders of the robe and the Belial Family crest located at the back. His silver hair was trimmed short at the back and sides, his bangs were trimmed just barely not to cover his amber coloured eyes glancing at the man nonchalantly.

"Who are you?" The man asked,

"I'm just, a worthless wonderchild" Masaru muttered, with a single wave of his hand he sends several hundred spheres flying, "Codex of the Worthless: Feast for the strong" The spheres transformed becoming beasts like tigers, dragons, turtles, eels and phoenix all rushing towards the cannibals inside the prison devouring them, nullifying their bodies, existence, everything.

"WHAT!?" The man glared at Masaru, he did not feel intimidated at this sight since he had to act as the apostle, he had to keep a strong impression thus he flew rapidly towards Masaru.

BOOM!

BOOOM! BOOM!

KABOOM!

With their fist connecting against one another, the two of them began moving at a flickering speed at one location to another launching fist against fist attacks sending shockwaves to devastate the surroundings during their combat.

"You really are not the apostle" Masaru muttered, he was naturally informed of the special characteristics of the Apostle which was to devour without the need to digest it through the mouth, just touching the Apostle could devour through his pores.

Masaru was not scared of this since he already cloaked his body with worthless attribute power, he thought of giving his technique a try to see if he could resist the devour but as he expected, this man was indeed not the apostle.

"I am, because our previous apostle died during our war with the Dark Elves," The man said with a wry smile, he was calm on the surface while his heart was beating incredibly fast. 'This boy, he knows of our Apostle!? Could it be he knows the special characteristics? Well considering that dark elf is his lover, he would probably know'

"It's a shame" Masaru muttered looking at the man with a stoic face, "You really are too weak, no wonder you said with a proud face you are cannon fodders. Or is it a psychological attack against my girls, trying to terrify them against the Old ones?"

Masaru smiled mischievously, "Codex of the Worthless: Wedgie Punishment for the loser" with a flick of his finger he sent a sphere of worthless energy at flickering speed, the man could not react in time when the sphere entered his body. Suddenly the man's underwear began to pull tighter as if someone was pulling it up from behind, the feeling was uncomfortable when his nuts were being squeezed.

"AHH!!!" The man roared in rage when he felt his underwear stretched till it reached his head, it tore during the process but it still held on till it covered the man's top head. Just the thought of his underwear where his butt was, was not pulled over his head sent the man in a flurry of rage.

Masaru snickered while admiring his newfound power, he had always thought deeply and trying to comprehend the power of the Belial Family entirely. The original means of this power was to nullify, and ever since Masaru became a Mid Class God. He reflected over his research in the past, thus managing to transform his bloodline power into an innate soul ability that was comparable to laws.

Worthless, just this concept contains a myriad of possibilities he could do with it. And this was his newly considered main means of attacking real enemies, he would only use his true power when forced to face against enemies that would require him to activate his balance breaker and get up close and personal.

"You bastard!" The man roared as he thrust his fist forward, yet suddenly Masaru sensed familiar divine power enhancing the fist.

Enhancing his own fist with divine dragon aura, Masaru slammed his fist against the man. The shockwave upon their fist impact spread out like a tsunami sweeping rocks and dust along with it. The earth beneath them sunk down with cracks spreading in multiple directions and forms, Masaru clicked his tongue in annoyance "I never expected to meet a low-class God of Asgardians, why did your power drop to True ultimate rank?"

"So you are familiar with my old home huh?" The Asgardian man sneered, his eyes could not hide his contempt for that foul place "I once loved a girl back when I was training to become a warrior of Asgard, we were engaged and was prepared to marry until a Noble of Asgard took fancy of my fiance. Not only did he forcibly take her, he even raped her and then killed her after he had his fun with her showing her head to me before he crippled me"

'How extreme... yet cliche' Masaru thought, he felt sympathy for the man. But he did not accept the man's choice, there was many ways to walk his path and he chose the worst one.

"My lord picked me up, he gave me the power to grow stronger by eating powerhouses and I managed to rebuild my power up back to True Ultimate Rank, I am still a step from reaching my former strength" The man muttered feeling nostalgia and displayed fanatic expression while speaking about his lord, "I will destroy this world, that is my wish"

"That is one thing I can't allow you to do," Masaru said with a wry smile, although the man explained his life story short. Masaru could sense the number of hardship this man had gone through in his life to this point, his eyes became serious "I will at least investigate the incident and get justice for you, but you have to die. For touching power you should not have"

"BWahahahahaha! How hypocritical of you, acting like a samaritan yet at the same time like my death reaper" The man said with a peculiar smile, Masaru noticed this smile and became vigilant the moment the surrounding began to shake, even the air was quivering with the man at the centre.

"There is no need for you to investigate because I already ate the man," The man said with a face filled with ecstasy, he had already taken revenge and even took the man's power for himself. How could he not feel happy, he took everything back. He simply lost someone special, but Chaos promised him that he would revive her for him.

"And to repay my lord, I will have you die here," The man said with a sinister smile, his body brimming with power corrupted by the darkness. even his once white skin, began to darken almost pitch black while the skin itself began to mutate, making it appear similar to that of a monster's skin. His face deforming, with a mixture of a goat head and a human face.
