Kratos let out a sigh of relief and crumpled on the ground like a puppet whose strings were cut. Chains ass thick as a full grown man's thigh fell on the ground and behind him a whole mountain stopped moving. Nicklaus came beside him with a smile on his face.
"It took you twelve years to finally move a whole mountain for thirty six kilometres. I would call this a fail but I know you did your best so good job, young cub," Nicklaus said.
Kratos looked like he was in his late teens but he was really in his mid twenties thanks to the Nirvana Law. Nicklaus however looked like he was in his late sixties. Kratos smiled back at his mentor and got up.
"Do you think I am ready?"" he asked Nicklaus who placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Give them hell, son," he said. "I wish I would go with you but I can feel my time is almost coming. Soon, I will go to my god and rest for eternity. It pains my heart that I will leave so many work for you but you have all the time in the world because of your immortality. So go, go and kill these gods that caused you so much pain," Nicklaus said. Kratos nodded then broke apart the chains wrapped round his waist. He then got onto a horse and rode off. Nicklaus was left smiling at this. Tsune appeared next to him and they were both looking at the fading figure of Kratos.
"He is one of the best warriors I have ever seen, you trained him well, master," she said.
"I know. So, did you get the information I sent you to get?" he asked her.
"I found two other pantheons in this world. One was the Christian pantheon where I met a being called Lucifer and he is as strong as a mid god or possibly a high god. I did not fight him and he did not notice me. Then, there is an Egyptian Pantheon. They already have chosen a warrior by the name Black Adam. He is ruling Egypt with an iron fist that even the gods are not tolerating," she answered.
"So I was right. I am in the DC cinematic universe or should I call it a multiverse. Black Adam, Lucifer, two figures that can influence a large scale battle in the future. In the comics, Lucifer can even make a whole universe and give it living beings. I feel like fighting such a being would be an awesome edition to end our stay here but I really want to see what my protégé is going to do. Well, after Kratos destroys Olympus I think I will leave," Nicklaus said then spread his consciousness all over the world.
First thing Kratos did was head over to the temple of Area who was commonly worshipped by Spartans. Once he got there, he immediately pulled the whole temple from it's foundations and threw it away.
"Ares, my name is Kratos, Zeus's son. Two tigers cannot live in the same mountain. Come out and face me!" Kratos shouted.
He waited for a day but nothing happened so he directly went to the statue of Ares and immediately broke it in half with one punch! He then threw both piece to the ground and pissed on them. Now, nothing can piss gods more than disrespecting their statues or temples. Soon, clouds formed above Kratos and Ares's face formed.
"Mortal, you dare challenge a god?" he shouted making a lot of Spartans cower in fear.
"I am a son of a god so this makes it an even playing field. Zeus dared play with my mother, I will play with his family before I exterminate him too," Kratos shouted. A meteor fell from Olympus and landed with an earthquake sized shockwave. From the dust and fire rose a twenty metres long Ares.
"You were born from one of the many escapades my father does with mortals, you are not a god," Ares shouted then swang his arms. A legion of his minions appeared and they all surrounded Kratos who unsheathed his Chaos Swords.
"Nothing will keep me from getting your heart!" Kratos shouted.
"It's a boss fight. Tsune, it's a boss fight!" Nicklaus fanboys as he tapped her arms repeatedly.
Kratos swang his swords and immediately cut the minions around him in half. That was the devastating power of the swords Nicklaus forged for him. Then orbs of light left the bodies and flew into his body and Kratos felt for the first time the feeling of being stronger as one fights. Ares summoned even more minions and Kratos went into a frenzy. It was almost like a noob reincarnator who was given a game system and goes farming.
With every swing, he felt more souls getting into his body and the next swing became even more stronger and sharper. He used the chains connected to the swords as an advantage for long distance attacks that all around him the air was filled with blood sprays as dismembered bodies fell to the ground. Ares saw this and was angered.
"Enough!" he shouted then swang his leg at Kratos. Once he saw the gigantic foot coming towards him, Kratos guarded his chest with his hands and the kick connected. He was expected to be flung away but he only slid for ten metres and stopped. Although his hands felt numbed, he did not feel any broken bones.
"I am much stronger than you will ever imagine, brother," Kratos shouted and ran at the other leg. With a jump, he pushed the leg making Ares fall. Kratos then knew he would take a long time to get back up so he went to a nearby tree whose trunk was as thick as a barrel and uprooted it out of the ground.
He did not feel the weight of the tree so he just ran to where Ares's legs were then proceeded to clobber his knees with it using as much force as he could muster with the huge things restricting his movements. Ares roared in pain as Nicklaus roared in laughter seeing the pathetic figure Kratos was putting the god.
Ares felt his knees would break so he hit Kratos away with the heel of his leg. Once he saw Kratos crashing into buildings, he got back up though rather slowly and painfully then started flaring. He wanted to fly away. But Kratos would have none of that. He immediately took out his right sword and threw it straight into Ares's back and the blade went deep inside. Kratos felt the god struggling so he dug his feet into the ground and pulled with all his might.
Ares almost had a heartattack when he felt Kratos's pull. He tried his best to move but the mortal was pulling him back! He tried reaching for the sword in his back so that he can pull it out and Kratos noticed this. He then gave one final tug then propelling himself off the ground, leaving it with two feet marks and using the chain to pull himself, he landed onto Ares's back.
The god was in full on panic mode now. He felt the mortal land on his back and he knew if he did not do anything to salvage the moment then he would be killed by this ferocious little thing. So he tried to slap the mortal on his body to death but the little gnat was quite fast. Kratos was climbing on the armour with the ability of an experienced monkey. Soon, he was on the neck region and he wasted no time. He stabbed the two swords above the nape just where the skull ended then he gave a small tug and he slid down the spine, leaving behind a gash that was slowly opening.
Ares fell down as he screamt in pain and shrank back to his normal self that was two metres. Kratos had luckily got out out his armour and he cracked his fingers in anticipation.
"Kratos, wait, wait. We are brothers, we can come to an understanding. We can kill Zeus together," Ares pleaded. Kratos got hold of him by his mop of red hair and charged him into the temple he had flipped to its side. They crashed through the wall and he threw him to the altar where he destroyed it.
"I have a vision, brother and that vision is to eradicate all gods in Greece. But I need to be a god first and since you are the only God who was the closest," Kratos said then picked up a knife used to sacrifice for Ares, "you automatically became the sacrificial lamb for my success as a god."
Kratos then started punching the living shit out of him. Blood sputtered all over the broken alter as Kratos went on beating him using punches, kicks, elbows and knees. Soon, Ares was on his last breath and Kratos stabbed his head using the sacrificial knife. Ares cried out in pain, a cry that was heard by all gods and mortals as it represented a god dying. Kratos twisted the knife inside Ares's brain and the formal god finally died.
Kratos saw a golden light about to leave the body and he quickly got hold of it then put it onto his chest. Immediately, he felt his strength rise together with another new powers. The world became quiet as light from the sky shone brightly onto him. This signified the birth of a new god!
