Chapter 571 Darkness and Purple Fire Shario's body tore through the earth, the force on her body was too much for the earth to cushion it, the ground could as well be air, and even through all this damage, the golden giant remained precisely five feet away from her body… silent and deadly. Her screaming face reflected off its flawless armored face, and her blood vaporized before it could touch it. The next seconds were a blur, powerful blows rained down on her body that tore it to pieces but still kept her on the edge of death, it was almost as if this giant was taunting her, the humiliation she was feeling was greater than the pain, and she roared inside her heart in anger. The momentum from their movement tore through the entire planet and they emerged from the other side into space, having cut straight through it like a hot knife through butter. Behind them the planet could no longer hold itself together as its core was vented into space, a few seconds later, the world exploded. The golden giant drew the force and flames from the exploding planet inside his wings and space fell to darkness as its four wings lit up brighter than the sun. It flapped its wings once and unleashed devastation on Shario's body and for the next eight seconds she experienced new heights of pain she never thought possible. It flapped its wings again and the flames around her body vanished, returning to the four wings, the light from it lit up the battered figure of Shario the Scourge, who except for her face which was kept pristine and without damage, the rest of her body had barely any flesh left. All her limbs were gone and a greater part of her torso had been vaporized, her heart was visible and half of it was missing, the remaining half was producing divine blood that was pumping away into space. Her face was filled with pain and frustration, not fully understanding the reason she was being tortured, but she had no method to fight back, she had learned a valuable lesson from witnessing the death of the other gods. If she drew from the power of her Divine Kingdom, it seemed to create a passageway for these creatures to enter inside of it, but if she didn't, there was not enough Aether in the space around them for her to even battle. Due to the fact that as a Major God her Divine Kingdom was kept somewhere near her body, so if she died, she would not try to resurrect herself anytime soon, because it would draw attention to the position where she hid it. Even if she chooses to stay inside her Divine Kingdom and refuse to resurrect outside, they already know the relative position of her Divine Kingdom and they would slowly search for it. Shario had no confidence that they wouldn't be able to find the Divine Kingdom, there had been too many impossibilities happening that she was experiencing some form of shell shock. On the verge of giving up, the golden giant suddenly stopped and looked to the right, a second later a large beam of darkness and purple fire slammed into it with a force that blasted Shario away for thousands of miles. "Fuck yes!" She began to laugh while struggling to maintain her wounds so she would not scatter to pieces from the force of her laughter, Tenma was here, and she would be able to fight with his assistance. Tenma emerged from the darkness, his disposition was different from before, and behind him were wings like those of a butterfly that was made from darkness and purple fire. Shario paused at the sight of these flames, 'That's new,' she thought to herself. His face was as pale as the moon and his eyes were empty orbs of darkness, in his hand were the burning wings of one of these monsters, and there was nothing of amusement or indifference in his face as usual, instead, it held a sneer. Tenma was filled with rage, pure and unfiltered. This look brought nothing but joy inside the heart of Shario, and her laughter went deeper. Her mirth slowly disappeared and she slowly stopped laughing, her eyes grew serious when she looked at the location where the golden giant was still standing. The space around it was devastated as reality around it had shattered like glass. The broken edges of space were bleeding purple and black fire that was so hot it could vaporize Davross in an instant, this reaction came about from Tenma Darkness, sound, and flame attack. This area for more than twelve miles had been transformed into hell, and Shario would fear to find herself staying inside for more than a second. Yet inside these flames stood the golden giant, unflinching, like a statue made from gold and fire. Bright wings of silver and golden fire burning bright like the feathers of the Mythical Beast, Golden Crow. The golden armored head slowly turned towards the depths of space and it manifested two suns in its palm that stretched until they formed a sword. The giant stabbed the space in front of it and both blades vanished, Shario did not have the time to find out where the blade went when a blinding pain erupted in her chest. In the distance she saw a similar blade poking out of the chest of Tenma, she cursed aloud and the blade in their bodies exploded. When Shario came to, she was nearly dead, only the top half of her skull remained, her skin and eyes were gone, and her perception was inexorably drawn to the clash happening a few thousand miles away. Tenma was battling with the golden giant. A scream erupted from her position and Shario began drawing Aether furiously from her surroundings to build her body, but unknown to her small blue specks nearly invisible accompanied the Aether that she was calling, and they infused her flesh. The battle ahead was getting heated, Tenma had unleashed a thousand arms of darkness behind him that were thousands of miles in size and each could move quicker than lightning. They slapped, sliced, punched, pinched, and performed thousands of different attacks, all having enough force to rip a Minor god to shreds. The golden giant was moving in a manner that drew jealousy from the warrior heart of Shario, it did not make a single wasted movement, the attacks it could not block or deflect, it would change position quickly avoiding them, and any opportunity it had, it would make a vicious counterattack.
