Adrian could feel his skin tremble, but he could still withstand the pressure that the being in front of him is radiating. The other players are a different story though because they were suddenly hit by a powerful pressure that came from the being located at the middle of the fighting area. A being that had the head of a lion and stood three meters tall as it carried two blood red scimitars.
[You are in the presence of the God Shesmu.]
[You have successfully resisted the godly pressure that the God Shesmu is giving off because of the Divinity that you possess.]
[Your stats are only reduced by 5% due to your bloodline resisting the effects of the God Shesmu's presence.]
[You are in the presence of a higher being. Any skills that are under Epic tier will have no effect on the being in front of you.]
Adrian could not help but gulp at the massive presence that is now in front of him. He thought that Lebou would just transform into a monster resembling the God Shesmu but he did not expect that the god himself would descend. The fact that the God Shesmu could descend via the sacrificial blood of his followers meant that he really allied with the Distorted God Apophis.
The Gods and Goddesses of Pandemonium have rules that always apply to them. One of them would be to never use the blood of their followers in order to descend. This rule was created by the Gods and Goddesses of Life along with the Gods and Goddesses of Death in order to make sure that mortal life will not be used for gods to descend.
This rule is something that was created using the providence of the world with the sacrifice of divinity from the Gods and Goddesses of Life and Death. The only way to break this is to commit a taboo but it is not something that could be easily broken. The God Shesmu was only able to do so because he has now accepted the power of the Distorted God Apophis.
One could even see that on Lebou's body is the sign that a contract with the Distorted God Apophis has been gained. A tattoo of a black serpent could be seen coiled around Lebou's neck as it was exposed when he transformed. The God Shesmu also no longer released gentle holy energy that gods of Pandemonium release.
Instead of holy energy that is relative to Pandemonium, a murky and sinister energy has replaced it. Mortals that do not have that great of a constitution would immediately feel sick upon getting afflicted with this energy. Some of the players even started to throw up as soon as the God Shesmu descended.
"Champion of the Twin Gods! I shall give you a choice." The God Shesmu stated as his voice is actually deeper and fuller compared to Lebou's voice.
"Any choices given by gods are not even choices to begin with. They always meant to lead to just one thing which is why I would rather create a choice for myself." Adrian stated.
"Give your head to me or your people will die painfully with you being last." The God Shesmu stated with a firm tone.
"Sorry but I choose to kill you instead." Adrian stated as he saw a notification that made him smile.
[You are in the presence of a divine being.]
[Your Divine Enemy title effects are activated.]
Adrian immediately recalled his spear and charged towards the God Shesmu when he retrieved it. Adrian thought that he could make a scratch at the very least to test if he could really defeat the god. The God Shesmu did not even try to block Adrian's attack as the former just raised his left scimitar and brought it down.
When the God Shesmu brought his left scimitar down, a powerful burst of energy that is like a torrent of blood is sent towards Adrian. Adrian thought that he could still pierce through the energy wave as long as he pinpointed the weak spot, but he is stunned when Paradox told him that there was none. Adrian immediately unfurled his wings to stop his charge.
"Blood Cross!" The God Shesmu muttered as he brought down his right scimitar as another wave of energy shot towards Adrian.
The two energy waves that the God Shesmu released actually fused together to create a bloody red cross. Adrian immediately knew that he would have to defend instead of parry. Adrian immediately changed to his Aetheros form and used his wings as shields.
Charon also created chains to try and help his master with the defense against the attack. The Blood Cross destroyed the chains easily as it was filled with divine energy, but the strength could be seen to weaken a little. The attack pushed through, and it was actually powerful enough to blow him away.
Adrian could feel his wings becoming heavily damaged as the attack was defended. When Adrian regained his balance, his beautiful wings could be seen heavily damaged. One could even see holes and cuts as the attack did not feel like a normal energy wave as it felt like numerous knives slicing him.
"If I actually used my wings to fly then I would not even be able to fly now. Still, that attack actually reduced 20% of my health despite being defended by Charon and myself." Adrian stated as his wings are more for enhancing his flight speed that just for flight.
Adrian looked towards the God Shesmu to see what the latter would do. The God Shesmu floated to the sky as he released this red aura that looked like blood. The God Shesmu created a red sun that is made with blood as he wanted to defeat all the beings that dare to kill off his followers.
"Your lives will be used as payment for the suffering of my followers. You shall all die here as I have dictated." The God Shesmu stated.
