Countless particles of light that formed that light pillar were then absorbed into the Giant Armor. Sky, Artemis and all the other had long since vanished.
KKKCKCKKC!
"..." Roderick's mind was blank as he knelt on the ground, his mind repeating the last moments of Artemis. Bellow him the entire tower showed signs of being unstable as it shook fiercely, numerous cracks also spread from the bottom of the tower as it slowly collapsed.
"We need to leave, the tower is falling! Roderick!" Céline pulled his arm, but the man didn't even move from his spot. The two personalities that lived within him had only now completely erupted and clashed together, Roderick's human heart had broken and filled with pain as it lost the will to fight while Thor's was calm as water and no emotions could be perceived.
"Fuck!" Seeing Roderick didn't respond, Céline grew frantic and lifted him before flying away. In this disaster, the beast gods and all the forces surrounding the tower saw a platinum ray flew off the tower, a massive platinum man covered with a twelve rings of light
"FOOLS" A Voice as deep as the sea sounded in the hearts of every living being as the giant observed the others around it. The two beast gods exchanged glances, the divine source they both had was shaking in fear as if it saw it's a predator.
"Galactic Art: Law Removal!" The voice which seemed to carry the weight of a thousand people with its cold tone before waves of energy burst forth all over the world, beasts, humans, they all looked at he magnificent twelve-colored clouds in the sky as they felt something missing inside them.
"Stop what that thing!" The beast gods of fire and earth grew worried and immediately grew over to a thousand meters, both titanic beasts used a large wave of energy to push away everybody else from the island as they prepared to launch their greatest planetary-level art.
"Planetary Art: Starkiller Hand!" "Planetary Art: God Burial Art!"
The power gathered in the two arts were too powerful, making the space around them shake. A huge lava hand slowly appeared in the sky while millions of small yellow strands erupted from the ground reached towards the giant metal armor and tying both its hand and feet.
KRRRRRR KACHA! However, at the moment they were about to hit the platinum man, the gem on their body shook more and more before it suddenly broke!
All the power condensed in the two arts then dispersed while the two beast gods were unconscious due to the impact of having the gems broken. The Platinum man shot a glance at the ground down below before quietly leaving. In mere seconds, all that was left on the island that once was a symbol of hope into nothing more than ruins as two normal sized animals, a tiger and a eagle rested over it.
...
A pair of eyes slowly opened, the sun shone brightly as the mystic twelve-colored clouds spread endlessly over the sky.
A silver, round helmet entered his view, no, it was more like him who was laying down as the female in the silver armor observed him quietly.
"Céline? What are we..." Roderick was about to ask Céline what happen when light returned to his eyes as he remembered the last few moments he was awake. The feeling of defeat was strong in his heart, it was the first time he felt this bad for failing to same somebody. If it was in the past he would never care for a mortal to the point of crying, after all, few have seen as many deaths as he who wiped out whole civilization under the name of Asgard.
His observed Céline from the distance, he guessed why she must be thinking and answered right away. "Don't need to worry about my state of mind, I have lived through worse days...."
Roderick covered his mouth as he felt a piercing pain coming from his chest. "Cough, cough. Céline, can you tell me what happened after I lost my consciousness?"
Céline stopped for a moment before she wiped the sweat off his forehead, then she replied. "I'm not sure, I only saw rays of light and a strong and opressive power from the distance, but I was too busy carrying you away that I didn't look back. But I think you saw it too..."
"Yes... I saw it, the Platinum Armor. Is it the other platinum Immortal Armor you said it was missing?"
"I believe it is, I just don't know how it came all the way back to earth though." After saying this, the two of them kept silent. The situation was really bad, he guessed that the reason they didn't get chased on their escape was due to the beast gods and everybody else.
Gathering strength, he gets up from the floor beneath him only to realize they weren't on the ground by on air.
"This..." His eyes wandered before finally spotting what looked like a tail. Only then did he realized he was standing on a huge whale in the sky, and this didn't scare him because he knew it was a beast he had seen before.
"You?!"
"Yes, it's me. I helped rescue you and this little lady. I believe we have seen each other a few decades back. You should be able the know who am I by now right. I can't believe mother earth's fears all came true, I guess that is the power of those beyond the stars."
"You are the beast god of water?" Roderick thought of that whale he saw way back then.
"It's good you remember this old whale. But right now there is something that must be done if you wish to save the little that remained of this world."
Roderick felt the confidence behind the Whale's voice and asked. "Do you know how we can defeat that thing?"
"Of course and you know as well..." When it said that, the whale dived deep into what looked like an endless abyss in the middle of the ocean and what awaited him was a familiar silver-haired, gray-skinned man laying down on the crystallized floor on the bottom of the ocean.
"The body you are using right now just a manifestation of the blood crystal inside you, but this body over there has been refined by the pure vitality of this place for long enough. Its time to return to your body."
