41 A King VS A Spear Boy Part 1

(Cao Cao POV)

Rentering the atmosphere was definitely an experience as the heat built up, and the resistances I bought made the feeling of reentry feel like being next to a warm fire. As I entered the hurricane, I felt the divine energy spread around the storm. 

The winds and rain buffeted my face until I coated it with mana skin, and even now, I could see those cloud monsters laughing and cheering in excitement for finally having a good storm.

(You know that this is a trap, Cao Cao.) Cato says as I nod, but if this storm hits land, the devastation will be monumental. And while the gods are willing to see thousands of lives lost for no reason other than to gain some modicum of false vengeance, I am not. This was my fault, so I am going to try to end this here.

(We are all behind you, then Cao Cao.) Cato says as I could feel all the previous users standing behind him. It made me feel a bit proud of having such friends. But enough warm and fuzzy feelings, I had a god to stop.

As I flew through the storm, the wind resistance and the general weight of the power behind this storm made me question why Zeus would do something so reckless, but he may be desperate to find me, which makes sense as the god while being a hypocritical rapist, he was still their father. But that may be giving Zeus too much credit.

After a couple of seconds of flying at high speeds, I breached the eye of the storm and found him, and to say that he did not look good was to say that Marvel writers hate Spiderman. 

The once nice suit was torn, and his eyes were bloodshot with rage and pain. His body was arcing, lighting everywhere while he sent out waves of power into the storm, powering it up further,

And by the pure size and power of this storm, this would be even above a Category 5, possibly even a Category six if that existed. As I entered, he looked down and saw me, and with an insane smile, he yelled, "Well, the coward shows himself at last! I thought this would get your attention! As a fellow mortal, it was child's play to draw you out!"

My eyes narrowed at his words as he seemed to be out of it as even Zeus would not do something so stupid, or I was overestimating his intellect. But as I used my all-seeing eyes on him,m, I realized something. His aura was all over the place and exploding out of his body, and it seemed to lack the purity of lighting and was more muddles under another power.

"You calling me a coward is rich, as wasn't you that ran away from Typhon when he first invaded Olympus along with all the other gods? It's called strategy sparkplug divide and conquer, and I thought having a daughter who was a goddess of war and battle plans would make you understand this. But it seemed she inherited more from Metis than from you, which is a good thing. How was eating your wife, by the way, like your father ate your siblings? Did it make you feel strong? Did it make you feel better?"

He then exploded with power and rage as he rushed me with speeds comparable to a high-class god. Whatever was increasing his power has made it so that he has returned to his full power. This was Zeus, the king of Olympus, and as we charged one another and our fists collided, the shockwave could be felt for miles as the storm began to move.

As he struck me with multiple punches, I dodged each one thanks to haki and instinct with my eyes, allowing me to further see into the future with each dodge; he grew angrier as I took out my spear and thrust into his arm that was overextended, leaving a small scratch as he dodged the strike.

He yelled out in pain as the cut bled golden ichor but continued to fight. He then tried to do an overhead strike using both of his hands, to which I blocked it using the staff part of the spear and immediately did a rotating stroke, cutting him across the chest and leaving a shallow gash. But the cuts somehow began to heal as Zeus's smile rose on his face.

"You should have invaded Olympus earlier, God Slayer? For now, I've been blessed with my old strength, and you shall fall under the weight of my Majesty!" His statement was ended by him calling down lightning as he blasted me with multiple bolts. His suit disintegrated into armor, which showed a bare chest but two golden gauntlets with a toga covering his lower half and left shoulder.

As I used the spear to redirect the lighting, I felt my body strain under the power of each strike as each one held the power of the destroy mountains and cut deep gashes into the ground. The Seas below me begin to churn and rage as it seems like Poseidon's Powers are being usurped by Zeus in this overcharged state. The lighting became faster and faster as its heat and static charge increased to make my arms feel numb.

After he threw two more, he rushed through both of them and slammed into me, sending us both into the water. Luckily, I could still breathe underwater as my lungs had evolved thanks to environmental resistance, but the increased pressure underwater made both Zeus's and my strikes slower but more powerful as each hit had to use more force to reach the opponent.

"I am surprised you aren't scared of being under the seas, but I knew you were different but still mortal." After saying this, I could see a man with glowing blue symbols swimming towards us at a very fast speed.

Zeus noticed my stare as he scoffed, "Get out of the way, Poseidon. I must deal with this upstart." However, Poseidon, noticing his brother in his domain, shook his head in anger.

"You would dare to order me in my own home! Begone from the sea, Zeus, as I will suffer your presence no longer!" But instead of Zeus saying anything, he just laughed like a parent laughing at a misbehaving child.

Zeus then formed a lightning bolt and threw it at Poseidon, knocking him into the depths of the Atlantic. His eyes then turned to me as I used my bioelectric field and mana skin from my smart atoms and core to create a field around me to lessen the slowness from the water. Zeus then returned his attention to me.

"Do you have any idea what it's like? To have to worry about your family turning against you? To have your power, your legend, your myth tearing you into multiple places at once? To have to live forever knowing you can never rest nor feel secure in your position? Of course, you don't, for you are but one mortal in billions; regardless of your strange powers, you are nothing!"

He then charged an electric blast and clapped his hands, sending me flying due to the force, but as I reoriented myself, I saw what he did. He's using his lightning to create a ring around us, so we're quite literally fighting in a hole in the Atlantic Ocean. He then smiled at his handwork and said, "Yes, this shall do now. Keep fighting mortal before I torture your soul for eternity."

He then rushes me as I charge at him, thrusting my spear as he forms one of his own using his master bolt. Each swipe is met with a parry, and every block feels the force of the entire country behind them. As Zeus tried to strike me again, I swiped downwards. He blocked it and punched me in the chest.

The pain made me wince, but my regen and Campione physique were healing the damage while my smart atoms were adapting to his punches. But the spots in my eyes were not going away. He was already in front of me as I parried his next strike and slashed at his right leg, leaving a deep gash in his upper thigh, and as he winced, he continued to fight.

He then grabbed me and threw me into the electric field, to which I felt a burning sensation in my back. I was then grabbed and sent flying across the field as the electric burns increased, but while the pain was immense, it only made me stronger.

As I was able to reorient myself again, I rushed him using soru, to which I then slammed him with the butt of my spear in his eyes, and as he groaned in pain, I stabbed him through the chest, but he then grabbed the spear and pulled it out while yelling, "This pointy stick means nothing! You are nothing! You were never meant to live! You were but a mistake! I am the only one keeping Olympus together! And I will not let some anomaly usurp my order! The cycle ends here!"

He then punched me in the face, causing me to somewhat blackout. The stars above me seemed to shine brighter as they fell down to Earth.

Yet at that moment, I saw that same woman staring at me again but with a sad expression in her eyes as if witnessing something horrible and being unable to help. But as she approached me and placed a hand on my chest, I asked, "Who are you?"

"You know who I am. I have been with you all this time. I am proud of you, Cao Cao. Even if you aren't the real one, you made me proud." Her words had an effect on me as I choked up slightly, but I responded.

"So is this it then? Is this all my effort can get me?" She then shook her head as she took out Longinus' spear.

"You have yet to accept it, and so it has not given you everything it has to offer. You are afraid of using it lest you become something else. It is understandable as power corrupts absolutely, but in this case, it may reveal what you are under all the things you have done and seen."

I then grasped the spear and stood up. She smiled at me and said, "Are you sure this is what you want? You could just end it here and move on?" I shook my head and said.

"Doing that would be an affront to everything I have done, and my master would kill me herself if I were to die. So, not yet. But thank you for being here all this time. But this shall not be our last conversation." 

The woman then fades away, yet her presence lingers, and I focus on my need for my spear to evolve further. I focus on the rage, the unfairness of it all, the sadness. All I know is that I will suffer if I don't come back, and my desire is to see the beginning and the end will never come.

And as the spear began to glow and crack as my eyes opened in the real world.

(Michael POV)

This was bad. If that storm hits land, thousands of souls will perish entirely as that lighting has the power to destroy not only physical forms but spiritual ones as well. 

Yet as I saw the godslayer fly into the storm, I do admit that I felt a small bit of worry as the king of Olympus may decide to keep the spear for himself or destroy it, leaving the last possibility of Father's return all in the dust.

My eyes then began to widen at the scale of the fighting as each strike could slay the ultimate class being with ease and injure satan class beings dearly, yet as each strike shook the world,d I saw what the God Slayer was doing. He was baiting Zeus to attack him to disperse the storm using the innate force produced by their strikes.

When Zeus threw them both into the sea, the God Slayer threw something into the storm, some kind of golden circle that then exploded in golden light, dispelling the storm entirely. And when Zeus produced that field of lightning within the Atlantic, I saw him begin to beat the god slayer brutally.

Gabriel, who was watching the fight, began to avert her eyes at the brutality the god took upon the mortal child as he was beaten into the ground over and over again, with blood everywhere, yet after he was thrown into the lighting field and fell to the bottom of the sea floor the world seemed to slow down as the throne of god glowed in a golden light.

And five words shook the world.

"​Balance Breaker: True Longinus Götterdämmerung!"

And then the world was bathed in light.
