The New God was stunned at the sight of his own blood. Ever since he was born into existence he had never lost a battle. His father one of the more powerful Old Gods had given him some of his power before he left. So among the New Gods, he was among the strongest.
As he was in a state of confusion the New God looked at the smiling Ren. He had come here for the sole purpose of killing the Strongest Mortal Soul, proving that he a New God was better than even the Ancient Gods.
He like all the other New Gods have heard stories of the Strongest Mortal Soul. It was said that any incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, was always at the peak of all mortals. All incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul were born with an innate sense of battle. In front of the Strongest Mortal Soul, no one can claim to be loved by battle except for him. There were many stories of the adventures the Strongest Mortal Soul had.
The most famous of which was the battle of the first incarnation who directly fought the all-father, the ORIGIN in an all-out war. The first incarnation was so powerful that he was able to kill half of the Ancient Gods who were said to be the equivalent of an entire universe. In the end, the ungrateful son was defeated, but he did not fall without fighting back. It was said that at that time the original incarnation was able to give a very grievous wound that would never heal against the ORIGIN.
But those were the old stories, it was rumored among the Gods that the current incarnation was nowhere near the level of the original incarnation nor the incarnation called Rei Kuraki who had killed numerous Old Gods. So he thought that this was the chance to kill the weakened Strongest Mortal Soul. Now facing Ren he had confirmed that the rumor of the Strongest Mortal Soul's weakened state compared to the original incarnation and Rei Kuraki was true, but he was still strong nonetheless.
...
"Why aren't you making your next move? That can't be all you have. I thought you would show me the might of a God?... Don't tell me that was everything you have to offer?"
When the New God saw the look of disappointment on Ren's face he felt infuriated.
"It seems like making me bleed has inflated your ego. Do you really think that I a mighty God would have gone all out to fight a human like you? Hmph, you really are such an arrogant human. Fine, since you want to see my full might I will indulge you."
The New God raised his staff the multicolor crystal shone brightly and a wave of mana burst from the crystal heading into the New God's body. The multicolor crystal lost its light while the New God started shining brightly mana emanating wildly from his body. The New God then merged with the staff he was holding. The New God's shining body then grew twelve additional arms, each arm was made from the six different elements of this world.
"Be proud human, for you are the first mortal to have witnessed my true form. Be happy human, this splendid form of mine will be the last thing you see. Hmph, since it's a special occasion I shall allow you to hear my name. Be humbled human, for you are the only mortal who will ever know my name. I am the New God Khalos, the son of the Old God Kereon and the Ancient Magus Nadir. Be grateful human, for I the powerful God Khalos shall allow you to say your final words in front of me."
Ren was excited to see the new form the New God Khalos had taken and as he was about to respond he stopped as he received a message from the original incarnation who wanted him to ask something.
"Alright since you think I'm about to die, then tell me why do you want to kill me?"
"Is that all?... Very well, I wish to end you because... Wait what was the reason?... It was because I wanted to prove that New Gods are stronger than even the Ancient Gods... No, wait... Is that right, no I think it's because of something different... Oh yes, it's because the ORIGIN wishes for your destruction... No that can't be it... Wait why do I want to kill you?... I don't understand, what's happening to me?..."
Khalos's expression kept on changing from his proud look into a look of confusion. He then started mumbling something under his breath and the more time passed the more confused Khalos became.
When Ren saw what was happening to Khalos he frowned, and so did the original incarnation who then sighed.
'It would seem that the corruption has even affected the New Gods. It's only a matter of time before the Old Gods fall into insanity and then the Ancient Gods will rampage across the multiverse.'
While the original incarnation was feeling a bit of melancholy, Khalos started to look at Ren enraged.
"Damn you! How dare you use these kinds of tricks! I thought you were a worthy foe, an honorable human, but to use a mind manipulation spell! I will tear you apart limb from limb!" Khalos roared at Ren.
"So stop on yapping and come on then, come and show me how you'll tear me apart!"
Ren didn't clear the misunderstanding between them and instead pushed it forward with that vicious smile on his face.
"DAMN YOU, HUMAN!!!"
Khalos charged at Ren with his twelve arms emitting a violent aura. Unlike before where he wanted to keep some distance from Ren, in this form he wanted to fight him in close range. Seeing the charging Khalos just made Ren even more excited as he too charged forward.
The two collided in the air and in their first clash the two were pushed back but once again charged at each other.
