Ikuta went to bed wondering about what Chaos had said " So as long as there's a future Chaos won't do anything ? " Ikuta wondered if his father even knows about Chaos ' He hasn't been appearing recently '
Throughout the days , Ikuta was simply enjoying his time with his friends occasionally meeting at each other's homes and even taking Atsuki with him " Hey why don't we talk about Ikuta's home very much ? " Druk asked while he had nothing to add to the conversation .
" Because there's nothing else to talk about it " " Then how about we talk about Affinities ? I'm always curious why we never talk about it a lot " Atsuki said .
" Because there's a lot to talk about , even though I have nature affinity it's not all about living healthy it's also about having knowledge about many plants because life can only live if it learns from its environment "
" Oh that's interesting , our darkness affinity is only deriving dark mana from pure darkness " Atsuki said " So you even have Ikuta's dark affinity ? " Ezio asked " I do but it was empty when I came to this world "
They stopped and thought about it " So you're not even the same age as Ikuta ? " " Nope I'm just a week-old baby with the body and mind of an 11-year-old" they were surprised since most of them had assumed Atsuki was like a twin to Ikuta .
" Niflheim's mana is kinda different , it's like water mana infused with the cold of space " Ikuta said " Oh yeah " they laughed out the awkwardness and continued talking .
...
Later at Friday , Ikuta and Atsuki waited by Mount olympus playing rock paper scissors .
At the underworld , Zhack was holding Mjolnir enchanted with Norn's runes and walked around the clear path that heads to the surface ' Gotta make sure everyone is safe , keeping up a force barrier this long is harder than I thought '
Estrea looked at the frozen entrance through clairvoyance ' If only Zhack could be here with me ' the otherworlders finally broke the norn's protection " It's coming " Chara said communicating this to Zhack who stood on the path exposing his whereabouts .
' You have the teleportation ready ? " Chara asked ' Yeah of course what about you ? " ' don't worry I'm not teleporting an entire mountain , just the one under the volcano " Harkness sneaks the otherworlders through the shadows .
They reached Tartarus , the mountain where Estrea was and the volcano . While the news channel was occupied by a live feed of cameras capturing whatever the otherworlders were doing , freeing the Titans and Typhon .
The volcano erupted , Tartarus released the titans and Atlas's petrification was slowly being undone " So that's the bestower " Estrea hid herself away looking at the otherworlders " You got it ? " " Yes "
She watched them carry a few items while the petrification was undone by the bestower ' What exactly are those ? ' she took a note to bring it up " Make sure to take the weight of stars too " Chara was informed about this and she revealed herself to Typhon who was lose inside the volcano .
" Hello Typhon " Typhon turned to Chara amazed by her beauty " What a beauty " Chara sighed without care and pointed at him teleporting him away to Atsuki and Ikuta " Oh uhhh who are they ? "
" It's Typhon " " So we fight him ? " Atsuki grabbed a weapon out of the enchanted floating metal Stork made " Yep " " Hey kids like you shouldn't be in this place " Before Typhon knew it Atsuki slashed a sword through him breaking the ground in the process .
" What ? " Typhon was baffled and quickly regenerated his body but Atsuki's weapon was quicker allowing her to swing an ax downward breaking it in the process " Why ? " " Atsuki those weapons are meant to break for every use "
" Ugh " Typhon regenerated and Atsuki kicked him away " What about you ? " " It will take a while " Chara teleports to Estrea " We need to get the bestower away from them " " Interesting " Estrea removes her concealment spell and Atlas is finally freed .
She teleported the titan and the mountain collapsed causing panic among the otherworlders . Chara and Estrea floated and watched the otherworlder try cushioning their fall .
Meanwhile , Zhack backed away to keep the Titans from coming to the surface ' This is really hard ' Ikuta faced Atlas who towered nearly as big as Mount Olympus " ZEUS COME OUT YOU COWARD "
Ikuta shattered the thin line exposing the sky with cracks that led to great thunderstorms all around the world " Over here " Ikuta grabbed a lightning and threw it making it zoom past the rest and hit Atlas .
" Come down you coward !!! " Atlas yelled echoing through the world and pushing the clouds away from the sky . He stretched his hand and Ikuta felt a familiar feeling and watched the darkness of the night reveal itself with the sun being the biggest star in the sky.
" See that ? the same skies you made me carry all these years " constellations start to appear powering Atlas and Ikuta grabbed his weapon ' So that's why Chara said I will have trouble ' Ikuta jumped out of Olympus and the runes on him started to dissolve .
" Hmm ? " Atlas was confused as to why there was a kid and swung his arm not giving it little thought to swat Ikuta away . Ikuta turned his weapon into a platform and kicked Atlas's arm surprising the Titan .
" I'll be the one to take you down " Chara takes the pandora's box out of the storage and found Aichel using it on him immediately " Hmm an elf ? " " No time to explain " An otherworlder dives with a spear and Aichel kicks them away .
" Explain yourself Elf " " Sorry it's a very long story , you're in the future I brought you back from the Titan Atlas mountain " " Future huh then you will have to explain more even if I have to fight your enemies " " Be my guest "
Aichel turned an incoming boulder into paper and started asking " What happened to the civilization of humans and beastkins ? "
Zhack finally reached the surface with all the Titans and a few otherworlders . Hel froze the water and runes of norn's protection start to appear " Thanks Hel " Zhack landed on the ice and faced the Titans " No need to hold back now "
Zhack released his restraints and grabbed his enchanted Mjolnir " Time to lose again Titans " he raised Mjolnir and jumped to the sky before falling back down releasing a powerful wave of lightning making the Titans stumble on ice .
A few either tried to grab him or punch but he jumped off the ground and each of their hand . He created a small point with his force affinity and pushed it into the hands causing the Titans' hands to compress into the point .
" If you spill Titan blood it will pollute the oceans " Hel reminded " Don't worry I got it " Zhack removed the ice's gravity and it started to float " Now we can really start " he smiled looking at the Titans who were floating to the sky .
Ikuta parried the titan's attacks and Atlas quickly raised his hand to summon meteors from outer space . Ikuta avoided the attacks causing the layers of norn's protection to shatter upon the fall ' It's going down by a lot .
He jumped aiming to attack Atlas and he dropped more meteors , which Ikuta cuts through ' It's almost here ' Ikuta saw a small star getting bigger ' what's that ? ' " TAKE THIS " the star shot its light into Atlas's fist enchanting it allowing him to strike with the power of a star at Ikuta .
Ikuta took a defensive stance enchanting everything else with Norn's protection and tank the hit . The power of the starlight broke into pieces after the impact and despite that Atlas kept doing it again .
He summoned more stars to power his fist , Ikuta stopped his defensive stance and threw a punch against Atlas . The power of stars was sent even further while also sending Atlas back " You're not Zeus " " I'm not "
The stars in the sky gleamed and Atlas commanded them to strike Ikuta . The stars shoot a dense light toward Ikuta and he quickly strikes it " The stars record the myths of heroes , demigods and gods and thus have their power "
Atlas summoned a hydra through the constellations Ikuta slashed with his weapon dicing the hydra , a ram appeared which Ikuta stabbed through and a bull ran from the water to charge at Ikuta .
He quickly shattered open a portal making the bull charge into the thunderstorm and fall from the sky . Atlas attacked with another fist causing a loud boom " Argh " Typhon covered his ears and Atsuki swung and broke another weapon .
Typhon made a loud roar causing the earth to shake ' Come to me my blood " every monster sensed the call and they quickly ran in Typhon's direction .
A nearby dungeon allowed Typhon to amass his cells and swing a club against Atsuki . She punches it to the ground and reaches for Typhon's appendage and froze them to tear them off him .
" Huh this is easy " Atsuki assumed it would've been hard and Typhon backed away ' I need you all fast " his spine turned to teeth and a mouth gaped wide open on his back . The flying monsters swooped down to grab smaller monsters to throw into Typhon's back .
Atsuki watched this happen and Typhon created a bigger club made of flesh bones and fur and swung it to Atsuki . She tried freezing it but failed and was pushed around , she grabbed the club and twisted it like it was an arm hearing bones crack .
She stomped the ground to pry it away and saw Typhon with winged monsters at his command " Get her " " Oh " they dived to Atsuki and she quickly took out two swords and swung them both breaking them but also trimming through the horde of monsters and damaging Typhon .
' This girl is so much trouble ' Typhon made thorns and shot them to Atsuki . She quickly created a fan and blew them away along with the shards " WAIT " She smiled with an idea on her head and started making the metal make more weapons for her .
She pulled out handles and handles out of the metal that floated on her back letting them feel the full force of her strength and then summoned a fan which she used to blow them away at Typhon ' I need to buy more time if this is her strategy '
Zhack killed another titan and their blood was slowly turned into landmass and water by Harry who was floating in the sky . Aichel moved the landmass trapping the last otherworlder and Chara took the bestower .
" To think I've been gone for so long " Chara held the bestower thinking about how Epimetheus told her to . She uses the keys and frees the gods but wonders about what Epimetheus had told her .
' It can be changed so there's no reason to not believe that they won't make another one ' " May I have that box ? " " Can you at least look at this memory ? " Aichel was confused as to why Chara didn't just tell him .
" Alright let me see it " Chara gives him a philosopher's stone " So the technique to make them has preserved ? " " not exactly Ragnarok destroyed a lot of things right now they have a substitute for it so you won't have to worry about it "
Aichel absorbed the information from the Philosopher's stone and turned to Chara surprised " You are ? " " Yes we can't discuss this with Estrea around we can't risk this information leaking out " Aichel looked at the stone and quickly dissolved it recognizing the forbidden knowledge it held .
" I believe so , what about Redun ? " " We plan to get the fates to weave their fate after we removed what had cut it but in order to do so we need the otherworlder who now possesses their power and there might be another one of this artifact "
Aichel was intrigued and received the bestower " What do you plan to do with it ? " " At first to see its composition but you said there might be another one and you won't always be lucky , So I'll figure out how to open it and look for you "
Char connects him to their telepathic network ' You know how to use this ? " ' I'm familiar with it " Estrea puts the last otherworlder to sleep " What were you talking about ? " " Just something about the present " " I could have done that "
" I know I just feel they'll relate more with someone who lived in a much closer time " " Come on I'm technically his descendant you know "
Ikuta sprinted on Atlas's hands and he tried to swat Ikuta out but was too slow . Ikuta reached the sky and made platforms out of darkness before he shattered into the mirror world , jumped on his manifested platforms and exited again to attack Atlas's eye " AHHH "
He sealed Atlas's eye with the titan's own flesh and skin by using his lifeforce combined with white mana " You pest " Atlas quickly cut his eye and healed it using the constellations .
Ikuta reached the ground and turned to see giant tendrils at Mount Olympus " Ahh Echidna my love we are reunited once again " Typhon spat out some poison on the ground and Atsuki wondered what she should do now that there was no reason for her to keep using sharp shards to damage him if he was this big .
' Atsuki want to switch ? " Ikuta asked and she looked at the mirror that appeared " Hmm sure why not " they grabbed each other's hand and swapped location . Ikuta faced Typhon and Atsuki faced Atlas .
" Here we go " they both said and dashed to their opponents . Ikuta started to cut Typhon's tendrils and sent out hungry dark worms with his stomach fire to consume it , while Atlas took the power of constellations and Atsuki let the ingot continuously create more weapons and was held by darkness .
Chara gained a premonition and quickly headed for the entrance of the underworld " HEL " Hel turned to see Chara appear with Estrea " Send us to tartarus " Chara appeared to where Prometheus was being punished .
" AHHHH " this scream wasn't the sound of the eagle eating his liver as the eagle lay dead the otherworlder held a small box without a key along with Harkness who stood by them " HARKNESS " Chara yelled and Estrea read her intention and threw magic chains to bind the otherworlders .
" Harkness do something " Harkness smiled " Finally I can drop the act " Harkness kills the otherworlders to the surprise of both of them " Chara you took a long time to get to this point " Harkness picked up the bestower .
" Want these back " " Why would you betray them ? " " What's that modern word that people use for traitors who acted as traitors but really just wanted to enter their ranks through acting as a traitor ? " " You were pretending to cooperate with them ? "
" Yes I found out what they were really after and had to at least put a stop to it " Harkness threw the box to Chara " Why do you know the Duchess of darkness ? " " Long story " Harkness said " The Norns and the other gods should be awake now , but first you'll need help getting rid of the ones up there "
The ground started to shake and Hel appeared " Saintess what is the meaning of this ? " Hel asked pointing at Harkness " Wait , she's on our side " " Then why do I sense the divinity of Erebus shaking Tartarus waking him up and in her ? "
Chara turned to Harkness " A bit of the divinity from Erebus was given to one of the otherworlder , They had this as a backup plan when they failed to get this " Harkness pointed at the box " So they want to wake up Tartarus ? "
Harkness nodded " But he's a very passive force , why would they expect help " " Because they're using Hera's seed of madness , they just need a distraction " Harkness sensed Tartarus coming " I'll go get back the fragment of Divinity from the otherworlder you guys do something about Tartarus "
" Can't you call Hypnos ? " Estrea asked " No Hypnos won't be able to stop a crazed primordial god like this " Chara said and Hel felt her power weaken now that she was inside the domain of another god .
They looked at the vast plains of Tartarus and many other punished humans screamed " The furies " they saw the sisters wielding weapons enchanted with Divinity " Looks like Tartarus is using them "
Ikuta slashed through Typhon and the monster quickly regenerated their wounds " You won't defeat me " Typhon brought out a giant diamond scythe , he expanded his size to better wield the scythe and swung it down .
Ikuta watched the tip fall down and held his blade ' You won't hit me ' He parried the scythe causing the tip to become dull " HOW ? " Typhon changed his form and swung it sideways and Ikuta ducked under it and kicked it up .
Typhon turned the handle to strike downward diagonally and Ikuta quickly parries it again . He gazed at Typhon with a murderous glare and his cells were reminded of fear ' I will survive ' Ikuta's blade spread out to gather the shards from Atsuki's fight against Typhon .
Typhon was frozen in fear , seeing the glare Ikuta had , he quickly commanded his cells to kill the cells of the cells that were shaking in fear . After killing them he was smaller with only strong cells and a few that felt fear , with the dead cells being turned into food .
Ikuta already completed his weapon a great broad sword held together by the liquid that can gain form . He froze it and swung it with all his strength , Typhon used both of his hands on the scythe and swung it downwards .
Ikuta's sword hit against the scythe , sparks and shards from his weapon flew upon impact and both of them were pushed back but Ikuta still had his sword with him and Typhon lost his . Ikuta took this chance and made the thought .
' I want to break the line between him and the scythe ' he threw his fist into the air and the force flew toward his target , shattering open a crack to the mirror realm without a sound . Typhon reached for the scythe unaware of this ' the boy is coming '
Typhon quickly tried to pick it up but through the mirror dimension nothing allowed him to get anything " What the " Ikuta jumped into the open crack and kicked Typhon away , leaving a message to Atsuki and closing the crack .
Stork appeared " ATSUKI " Atsuki kicked a punch from Atlas and grabbed Stork's handle " Big bro you're finally here " " Yep " " the weapons kept breaking but Ikuta said he found a better one " " I know that's why I came "
Atsuki dodged away and used the metal to form platforms which she threw upwards and hoped away " where are you pest ? " Atsuki reached where the scythe was " wow this is really big " " Obviously let me help with that , grab the handle "
Stork enchanted it to shrink to Atsuki's size " Wow " She swung with all her strength amazed that it held its shape " Good , now I don't have to worry about it " " It doesn't even break "
" Yep I wish Gaia was awake to teach me how " " Should I leave you here ? " " Yep I already finished the enchantment and I'll be able to send myself away " Atsuki jumped at Atlas with the scythe . She spun to give it momentum and Atlas spotted her and recognized the Scythe .
" That's master Cronus's scythe " He reached to grab Atsuki and she swung the scythe around cutting his fingers and spilling his blood " Finally something that won't break " Atlas quickly regenerated his hand and Atsuki was very ready to face Atlas with a sturdier weapon .
Zhack wasn't doing so bad either he was already at his last Titan and killed them allowing Harry to turn it into landmass " Man all that and we made a sky island " Zhack grabbed Harry's sword " So what next ? "
' Go check on that place again " Zhack quickly teleported with Harry to the entrance of the forest " Zhack " a nymph called out with her hair burning " Dang " Zhack quickly used a river to extinguish the fire .
" What happened ? " " A group of people came here and demanded that we tell them how to get in the garden " " So you didn't tell them and they burned the trees , got it " they hear an explosion and Zhack leaves Harry " Harry You'll be taking care of the fire "
Zhack dashed to the explosion and saw two people " HEY " Zhack attacked the man leaving the woman behind and his opponent pushed him aside while he used force barriers to protect the tree .
" Definitely an otherworlder " Zhack looked at the woman and wondered why she was different and was punched by the man " Ugh " Zhack was keeping the forest safe with force barriers . He quickly used his force affinity to hold him down and applied gravity on the surface of their skin locking them in space .
" And you , who are you " Zhack looked at the Woman's eyes " Hmm ? " " Hera get him " the goddess swung her hand to attack Zhack " woah " upon touching a fallen leaf it shriveled and lose its color . Zhack looked down to see the feet of the goddess exposed and causing surrounding plants to wither and die .
' dang I thought she was the goddess of marriage not rot ' Zhack backed away ' Hey Ikuta ? " Zhack attempted to communicate with him but failed ' Looks like I'll have to do something ' Zhack avoided Hera and watched her touch the force barrier but didn't break it .
' she can't break that so ' Zhack quickly restrained her and wondered why she was like this " Hey man why is she like this " " heh as if I'll tell you " Zhack sighed and increased the gravity on their skin " I'll keep shrinking this then , it seems you're alone were you expecting to win ? "
Zhack sees them smiling and looks back to see some Nymphs being controlled " Oh right that was something you could've done " he looked at Harry and remembered what Ikuta told him about how he dealt with black book's souls .
He made Harry fly to him " Harry I need you to do the same thing you did when Ikuta had you while he was fighting Richard " " oh are you talking about those threads on the nymphs ? "
" I don't see that but try to only burn that " Zhack pointed Harry and he shot his flames at the threads freeing the nymphs and making them fall asleep as a side effect .
" You got your broken gifts and we got ours , now Harry can you tell me what's the problem with Hera ? " " Hmm , her body is being used as a container for a lot of things it's why she can make things wither around her " Zhack smirked at the otherworlder " Looks like I won't need you "
Zhack condensed his force barrier killing them and swung Harry to shoot out flames to absorb the soul " Can you handle his soul ? " " Don't worry he's just one compared to the many from the black book "
Back to Ikuta and Typhon right before the scythe was taken . Typhon rushed to the scythe and grew confused when Ikuta let him reach it . He tried to pull it out but failed " What ? What did you do " Ikuta took a deep breath " Just made it easier to fight "
Ikuta kicked Typhon and gathered the shard combining them again with his liquid weapon striking the monster " Urgh " Typhon gathered his strength back " interesting " Chaos said and Typhon's cells suddenly felt the fear assumed through the strength of Chaos .
" Chaos ? " Ikuta's calmness compared to Typhon's soul which was shaking intrigued the origin of all " Nevermind it turns out you are the one that's more interesting " Ikuta was confused about what Chaos found interesting previously .
" Back then Nyx and Gaia would both recognize me and acknowledge me yet here you are not even doing that in my presence " Ikuta remembered his father who struck fear in him first .
" But I am interested in what you did to this place shattering the thin line between this world and the real one to create an indestructible environment "
" Oh uhm thanks ? " Ikuta's emotions that Chaos observed which previously weren't present in any of their creation when they were in their presence was making Chaos even more curious .
" You're different from Typhon " " A-almighty Chaos I'm sorry to stumble into your presence " Typhon's voice had no such relaxation as Ikuta .
