Chapter 813: Untouchable
"Uh So how long do I have to stay here?"
Hugging his knees, a man sat in an absolutely dark space, rocking back and forth.
This was none other than Number Zero of the Divine Kage organization who had come to get help from the gods themselves.
After the whole organization was annihilated, he only had one choice.
Unfortunately, the gods were not present so he relayed his message to the thought image left by the god.
The thought image made some arrangements but for big decisions, it too could only wait for the gods themselves to return.
But even after the punishment should have ended, they were yet to return.
"Until they are released, you are to stay here. This mission is important, we can’t allow any mistakes." The thought image spoke.
Number Zero waited for weeks and finally the gods were released after facing severe punishments.
All ten of them were very unhappy, yet they can’t display any hostility towards the higher beings.
They could be crushed and replaced at any moment and lose everything built over such a long time.
So, their rage was directed towards one single guy, Vritra who was becoming a bigger and bigger thorn in their side.
Finally, in the dark space, the thought image of the god disappeared and got replaced by the real god.
"G- Greetings!!" Number Zero knelt, striking his head against the invisible floor.
"I know all that you have said already, and quite a few had already gone to take care of him. But we won’t underestimate him anymore, he is after all associated with the Divine." The unknown god spoke, his voice alone held so much pressure.
"Yes, please tell me what I should do!" Number Zero asked, he was sure the god can see his physical condition at a glance.
"We have a reason to eliminate him, the connection to the Divine. Still we can’t directly intervene, so I will share a bit of my power with you, enough to kill any demi god under level 6." The god said.
Of course, he didn’t have full confidence in Number Zero, he was just one of the cards.
"T- Thank you, god! I won’t disappoint you, I will kill him and anyone related to him." Number Zero spoke, shaking with excitement.
This was his chance to shine in life, he was finally going to make it big and increase his strength.
’If I do this right then I might get the power of a high-level demi god.’ He thought.
"There is no time to waste, start the task immediately." The god said as he pointed a finger towards Number Zero.
A pillar of energy rose around him and an immense amount of energy rushed into him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh"
Number Zero let out a scream, but instead of pain he was feeling euphoric.
What is Vritra? Even if Divine came himself, he won’t go back with an arm or two missing.
...
On one side, Drino was getting the beating of his life, experiencing something far worse than his previous near-death encounter.
On the other side, Mole was annoyed to death by Onest and Shitless.
No matter what skills or attacks he used, those guys weren’t affected, both of them were the perfect counter.
He was actually getting pushed back.
"Vritra, we meet again, how I have waited for this moment." Zihong spoke, his lips curling.
Vritra looked on, trying to sense his strength.
Zihong’s current appearance wasn’t all that much different from a normal human, with short black hair and a buff body.
He didn’t try to hide his strength and Vritra could tell there is a big difference between them.
"Zihong, I feel like I should thank you, thank you for delivering that skill and those treasures to me." Vritra said, there was no fear in his eyes.
"Haha So arrogant, you almost make me feel as if you have prepared something for me. Too bad, I have prepared all the countermeasures, so whatever you try, you are going to fail." Zihong spoke with a laugh then added:
"Oh right, I am taking good care of that wraith for you, too bad though, it will be dying with its owner soon."
"Ha I like your confidence, by the way did you enjoy being locked away on this very planet for so long?" Vritra asked, not hurrying to make any move yet.
He already sensed that the six demi gods had died and the remaining two were no big threat.
"..." Zihong clenched his teeth, glaring at Vritra then relaxed. That was one of the most unpleasant things in his life.
If he could, he would really never return to this wretched planet.
But behind his downfall there were two reasons, one being the Divine and the other person who was also quite mysterious.
Someone that everyone on the Zoratian planet knows and respects.
That was the past, it doesn’t matter... for now. His current goal is just to get his things from Vritra and more.
Once Vritra is defeated, he would have a way to get his body back, to be specific with that special fishing rod.
And get Divine’s abilities and much more.
"Thank you for delivering all your abilities and Mythic Halos to me, I will make good use of them." Zihong chuckled, as he finally decided to not waste any more time and get started.
Zihong took out a glowing dagger, this was one of the treasures he had prepared, especially for Vritra.
’One of his abilities is time, I guess I would be relying on Null.’ Vritra reacted just as quickly.
"All Fields... Activate!" a large circle of complex patterns rose under Vritra’s feet, expanding quickly to hundreds of kilometres.
His strength rose rapidly, his agility increased to a very high level along with his endurance, his physical stats rising more than twice.
Whether it be his mind or soul, all of them were instantly strengthened, the aura around him becoming denser and denser.
100% comprehension of those fields meant understanding the very rules of the world.
Even his charm increased to a high level, making him extremely attractive.
[Nether Eye Activated!]
The third eye opened on his forehead and a drop of blood slowly slid down, giving off an eerie feeling.
[Cry Baby Activated!]
Instantly all of Vritra’s skills were enhanced and his physical body was enhanced further.
The atoms around him began to rotate rapidly as Atomic was pushed to the peak.
The SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! skill devoided the surroundings of all energy, filling Vritra’s body with a vast amount of mana.
"Forbid: Agility, Stre-" all of it had taken less than a second, but that was enough time for Zihong to make his move.
Without any big movements, he filled the blue-coloured glowing dagger with immense energy and slashed in Vritra’s direction.
[Forbidden Activated!]
Vritra didn’t stop his actions, using Forbidden to limit the speed, agility and mana of Zihong, and with its current power it was extremely effective.
Zihong instantly felt all strength leaving his body, his speed was gone and he couldn’t sense any mana in his body.
Any demi god, even level 5 or 6 would have been flustered and terrified, with no hopes of winning.
The right corner of his mouth rose, as if mocking Vritra; would he be stupid enough to come without finding out anything about his opponent?
Of course he had prepared for this skill too, but it was still a little surprising.
He hadn’t expected it to completely lock away those things.
[Dust Manipulation Activated!]
A blue glow flashed in Vritra’s direction, the slash from the knife was so quick that Vritra could barely react.
His body broke into dust particles as he dodged the slash, it passed through thin air, doing no harm to the scattered dust.
But just after a moment the blue glow disappeared, and Vritra felt pain rising in his chest.
BANG
He was forced back into his normal form and a big slash stretched from his chest to abdomen, oozing out black blood.
Ghhkk-
A shocked look appeared on Vritra’s face, so that was the ability of that knife, it was more special than he expected.
But... he wasn’t going to be the only one to take damage.
His main skill, Dust Manipulation with 100% comprehension and now added with Blood Manipulation burst with incredible power.
Zihong felt the blood flowing in his body churning and getting hotter before...
BOOOOM
There was a loud explosion, smoke rising around Zihong’s body as every drop of blood in his body ignited.
Both of them were pushed back, but he was still a level 4 demi god, the expression on his face didn’t even change as he got pushed back a bit.
"Not bad, you have grown even more it seems." Zihong while swinging the blue dagger again, took out a bronze bell.
’Can he still use that dagger?’ Vritra wondered but wasn’t one to underestimate his enemies.
Forming a heavy sword from Goop, he blocked while sensing the wound on his body.
Blood was constantly leaking, and despite his terrifying healing ability, the wound was healing very slowly.
Not to mention that dagger had actually managed to go through his defence and destroy it, it must be a very special treasure.
Another flash of blue energy was released, as expected, even after cutting the mana supply he somehow managed to do so.
Vritra had no time to think of the reason, as he put more strength into blocking.
But he too had other hidden cards, he had used all those hard-earned sin points to prepare his own tricks after all.
BANG
The energy struck the blade, making his arm shudder as heavy pressure descended upon him.
But then, the blue energy disappeared again, striking directly at his heart.
