John felt some ancient power inside him and didn't know what would happen when suddenly his consciousness left his body and he saw the whole scene as a bystander.
He watched how his body suddenly grew in size and ripped the chains that were binding him apart.
Aetheria also seemed quite surprised by the sudden changes as she quickly stood up and her throne changed back to her hammer which fell in her hands.
But John's body continued to grow and only stopped when he was slightly bigger than Aetheria.
An ancient voice came out of his character's mouth saying:
"A mere lesser goddess dares to challenge a real Titan? You are just a weak descendant of a weak and scared titan that used faith as a substitute for a soul, and if you've got no faith left you cease to exist. So how could you even think about judging a real titan?"
Aetheria angrily exclaimed:
"Judgment is blind, it doesn't care about who or what was doing evil things!"
Aetheria took her hammer and started attacking while John's body just said:
"Then so be it..."
A giant hammer appeared in his hand which blocked the goddess's hammer.
Aetheria's hammer shattered under the might of a Titan and his soul but put itself back together. Aetheria was breathing heavily while trying to get through the titan's defense with a barrage of attacks, but he seemed just to play with her as he easily shattered her hammer every time.
Shockwaves ran through the air and the bashing sound of their weapons was heard over kilometers away. People living nearby came and saw with shock how two divine beings were fighting as the earth was shaking and crumbling under the combatants.
But soon Aetheria was kneeling on the floor panting while holding her arm as her body was littered with bruises and her divine armor was battered beyond recognition while the titan stood tall and strong without any injuries
When suddenly a silhouette of light appeared and said:
"Please stop honorable Titan this young goddess didn't know better as she was born after the glorious time of Creation was over. I Balian God of Light seeks your forgiveness on her behalf please state your conditions."
"Then let's make a contract no God shall bother one of my Blood anymore!"
The Titan said with an ordering voice.
"As you wish..." Balian said as he threw a golden drop of blood onto the magic parchment that emerged midair.
The contract was established and Balian took the wounded Aetheria and vanished with a bow while John's body shrunk in size as his consciousness re-entered his body.
As soon as John was back to his normal size he quickly ran to Claire and the others and pulled them in a tight hug...
