436 Chapter 436: Proclamation (5)

3rd Person POV

*Back at the Paradis village's bunker*

"Seriously, why are you so ruthless?!" Edward demanded as he pulled back his hand.

Edward has spent the past several days trying to get into contact with someone, a trusted subordinate, not because he wants to tell on the secret location of the base or for ill intent, just for them to know that he's okay and tell it to his brother because his brother will need to hear it most, but Buddy and Vincent have swatted his hands away from any communication device.

Even at night, when Vince doesn't come to school, a person named Rosa chips in and stops him, no matter how much he pleads, he is grateful for having his life spared, but...

"You and Perseus are the same when it comes to this stupid characteristic of yours, just snatch it away, not swat my hand." Edward winced

"Well, we are brothers." Vincent replied proudly

"Perseus has never hit me as hard as you."

"Well, I'm adopted."

"What?! Does that even matter?!"

"Look, just don't call them, this should be beneficial to you, Perseus is handling the demons, and with them sending away their troops for infiltration, they'll leave themselves open to a rebellion."

"Rebellion? What demon is stupid enough to do that?"

"A demon who thinks that she deserves the title of the demon lord, the child of the previous one, and the lord of the orange rose."

"Oh...oh...why have I not thought of this?"

"For a prince who had a background in private education, you're not very smart."

"Private education is barely any different! Just more money for more or less, the same services."

*Back to the battlefield*

God flew quickly to Curly and Phineas' sides, and he saw them god up, but despite his blessings and all his other help, Phineas' armor got destroyed and shattered completely while the person inside got seriously concussed with a slightly broken Jaw while Curly's vessel body crumbled and cracked.

God then commanded the angels to go after him. Perseus wasn't fazed at all as he turned to see a singular-eyed Seraphim, a formidable celestial entity with a multitude of wings, floating before him.

As they engaged, Perseus found himself facing an opponent unlike any other. The singular-eyed Seraphim's movements were elusive as it can also use the powers of light due to being a servant of God, its many wings a mesmerizing flurry that obscured its true intentions, but it can only last so long.

Perseus matched the singular-eyed Seraphim's agility with his lightning-infused movements. Bolts of celestial energy crackled around him as he countered the flurry of strikes from the seraphic adversary. His fusion with Jonathan amplified his movements, granting him an edge in the intense fight.

And Perseus then started to break its wings one by one. As it tried to escape, threads of lightning bolts lashed out and seared right onto its body. A focused beam of radiant energy shot forth from its eye, streaking and directed toward Perseus with a blinding intensity.

Reacting swiftly, Perseus maneuvered with lightning speed, narrowly evading the searing beam. The force of the blast scorched the ground and left a trail of fire. Reacting swiftly, Perseus maneuvered with lightning speed, narrowly evading the searing beam, once he got close, he charged his fist with powerful lightning and focused right on the eye.

With all his might, his fist blew the angel apart, and the others could only watch in shock and awe, God then saw him coming in his direction, and he cast a quick powerful barrier, but since it was a swift cast, it was weak enough for Perseus to cut through as he created a lightning blade and cut it in half and fought with God.

Perseus knew that he couldn't get a god down even if he went all out in a one-on-one, so taking them by surprise would at least give him a chance. God dodged those attacks, and the duo got up after God's magic healed them. But they still did not stand a chance as only God could keep up.

The angels swarmed them and tried to hold Perseus on the spot while God got some distance for a spell, but it didn't hold him at all, the moment they touched him, they were electrocuted to their deaths. Angels are semi-immortal beings, they cannot die of natural causes such as old age or diseases, and they have super fast regeneration that can deter other attacks from killing them.

But Perseus took them all down in one go by just releasing his powers in an electrical explosion and charging at God. And before God could do anything, he delivered a devastating 360-degree spinning back-kick. The force behind the strike was immense, the impact connecting with God.

God flew back and was temporarily incapacitated by the whiplash on his head, while Perseus took on Curly and Phineas. Curly then tried to summon clones of himself to distract Perseus, but the arcs of lightning bolts destroyed every one of those clones.

But Perseus noticed something as this was happening. The clones were barely distinguishable from the original and their eyes were a bit more orange than normal...

"You're Loki." Perseus said with 100% confidence, "I'm so going to make you mine."

"Woah there, I know that we're taking turns on ya, but you don't have to phrase it like that." Curly replied

"You 2 shut the fuck up!" Phineas shouted

"Woah. In the presence of God?" Curly questioned, "Don't just swear like that, you so-called man of God."

"Rahhh!" Phineas charged at Perseus with all his power, but that kind of power could not help him much.

Perseus knocked him away and took on Curly, who could not even hold a candle to him as his body started to break and shatter to pieces little by little.

"Yo man, why are you so obsessed with me? You already stabbed me once, and now you're breaking me apart?!" Curly exclaimed, "Why the hell are you obsessed all of a sudden?!"

"Simple, I just want to make you my bitch!" Perseus proclaimed
