now then, let's take care of you"
Hephaestus stated as the beast landed onto the ground of Olympus, its form had changed once more, its facial features still bearing resemblance to Apollo however it now looked to have more muscles.
*Graahhrgh*
It screamed in a very human voice that was unsettling to hear. Although Hephaestus found it curious, he wondered how a dark mist was able to gain a body, was it mimicking the things it ate?
He did not have time to dwell on such things as Typhon lunged at his opponents.
*tink tink*
Tapping the destroyer armor just slightly with his knuckles it quickly removed itself from his wife and immediately wrapped around his arm, with the armor now on his arm, sparks of conceptual lightning crackled and flickered off the black armor's surface.
*crackle* crackle*
*BOOM!*
In a swift movement of his fist, just as Typhon had reached them, Hephaestus delivered a devastating punch to the creature face, he felt its face cave in as the punch connect and
sending it flying across Olympus, and with a flick of his armor hand thunder roared before striking down on Typhon like a deluge of highly concentrated plasma that it is.
With Zeus having been dead, his concept of lighting, thunder and sky were up for grabs and Hephaestus wasted no time, he would have taken them as his own concepts however at the same time he feared that could possibly be a way for Zeus to come back, he was certain Zeus's soul was destroyed and there would be no reincarnation for him however Hephaestus wanted to be careful.
He had wanted to use that on a mjolnir or storm breaker, but he thought creating the destroyer for it would be better, or at the very least, he thought it would be cooler.
"and that, my dear, is how you use this armor"
He stated to his wife, placing his hand on her shoulder and letting the armor remove itself from his arm and wrap around and cover Aphrodite's body.
"isn't that Zeus' concept of lightning? how did–wait"
She was about to ask a question but quickly halted herself as she realized what he had just said.
"You were watching me?!"
She questioned in a bit of anger. Did he arrive here quickly and then just watched as she struggled to fight that thing?
"I arrived with you already seemingly about to win, so I thought I'd watch since you had it under control"
He informed, perhaps it was reckless to put hid wife in danger like that however she needed the experience or rather than she needed to protect herself she he be unable to protect her, he'd like to say he'd always be there to protect and ensure her safety but he could not be certain about that, so if she could use the weapons he made to protect herself he'd be less worried.
"You… you…"
She wanted to berate him about that but she could not come up with a reasonable complaint, after all even she had Started to think she was about to win so in a sense he was not in the wrong, plus, she can't always be around him for protection. Despite logical coming to such conclusions, she was still angry about it.
*smack!*
"Take that!"
She slapped him on the shoulder and pouted, Hephaestus only just smiled at her. he could not help but find her behavior cute.
Shaking his head at her antics, a golden portal opened, and a silver robotic like cube with eyes popped. He had wanted to make the prison realm like the original in the beginning, but he found it creepy to have some made of flesh and had eyes.
"I'll teach you how to use the armor later, wait here for a bit"
He stated before flying towards the direction Typhon had been sent towards. It seemed like he wouldn't actually need Artemis' help, which was a relief because the goddesses had some sort of beef with him.
Typhon was feeling a deep sense of anger, dissatisfaction, and frustration, for some reason, there are always obstacles in his way, preventing him from doing what he needs.
It was deeply infuriating to have to constantly run into obstacles when you want to eat. He also did not like his food fighting back either.
This frustration and anger spurred the first consciousness thought in his mind, if before he was moving based on semi consciousness that followed his instincts, now that half formed sense of consciousness had grown as he made a single decision.
'get rid of obstacles!'
It thought, setting a secondary goal to itself. With that in mind Typhon stood up from the ground however before he could be able to do anything, chains suddenly wrapped around his body, tying and keeping the creature in place and much like before the chains were difficult to break out from.
"stay there for a bit"
Hephaestus stated as he threw the prison realm beneath Typhon, however it was not going to be that easy.
"GRAAHHHH!!"
Typhon Yelled and let out an explosion of power that created a powerful shockwave, the shock wave traveled throughout Olympus, causing the entire area to rumble and shake. Unfortunately for Typhon, the chains were unbreakable however unfortunately for Hephaestus, Typhon was not going to be trapped in the prison realm.
*WHAM!!*
A fist to the face sent him rocketing back at great speeds; he quickly flipped him over and planted his feet on the ground as he slid back, a drop of chores leaked from his face.
"WHAT!!!"
He exclaimed in shock, when was the last time he actually bled? Not only that, but he should have been able to dodge that punch, more importantly how did his foe move when he was tied up. He looked at his opponent and saw him simply wall out of his bindings.
"of course, I should have expected that"
Of course, mist does have a physical form and can pass through most things. He should have expected that, thus being before him could switch between states.
Wiping the blood off his nose, he pulled a sword out of a golden portal.
"fine then, I'll just kill you"
He was interested in what this thing was hence why he planned to trap it in the prison realm or if that didn't work he'd use Belzebuth and trapped it in his stomach, however be decided against that now plus in hindsight he realizes that would have been reckless.
"since you can turn into some type of mist, let's what would it take to kill you"
With those words, he vanished, disappearing from Typhon's eyes momentarily confusing the beast; however , he quickly appeared to its side, his sword already in full swing, Typhon lifted his arms to block but Hephaestus' attack had already connected.
"Burn!"
Steel sank into flesh, and with his words, the blade burst into searing flames that engulfed his foe. The heat of the flame reached incredibly hot temperatures, eliminating any monster within a three meter radius.
"Grahhh!!!"
Typhon's flesh burned and he let out a scream however he quickly grit his teeth, as the blade sliced through his body he quickly turned into a mist in an attempt to let it through without taking damage.
Exactly what Hephaestus was counting on. With a slight tightening of his hand on the sword's handle, it burned even hotter than before, the air sizzled and the flames expanded covering both their bodies but only one of them could be harmed by fire.
with the fire engulfing both of them Hephaestus could not see properly as such he received a punch to his gut that propelled him out of the flames, however the fire didn't die down like Typhon thought it would so instead the black mist expanded and covered the entirety of the flames before slowly reforming back in to the shape and look of a human.
"guess that rules out fire"
He stated although he could use a bankai, he decided against it, no use wasting time on someone that might not work, with that in mind the katana on his hand disappeared and a golden portal spat out another sword.
While grabbing the sword, he couldn't help but look at the thing's face. It looked exactly like Apollo, the difference was it was dark skinned.
'He got the n-word pass, I'm so jealous'
He joked as he took the sword and settled into a stance.
