( Continuing from the last fight. )
" Keugh!, Lord Hades... " Carla sees the one who attacked her, she sees Lord Hades.
[ #1 Prisoner of Tartarus ]
[ Name: Hades (Chronos' First-Born, The Olympian Opposer) ]
[ Title: The Monarch of Doom ]
[ Crime: Opposing against Olympus Pantheon ]
[ Living Known Relatives: Zeus ]
" Guess the Diviner gods finally decided to take Lord Hades out from Tartarus, huh? " Carla asks as Hades hits her, pushing her far.
" To think you would possess the body of the Battle Maiden..., Divine Hero Carla Kent... " Hades replied, as the smoke from the impact gets cleared, Carla could see that the Lord was not alone in this attack.
" Lady Izanami... " Carla sees the other person, knowing who that was.
[ #2 Prisoner of Tartarus ]
[ Name: Izanami (The Corrupted One from Takamagahara) ]
[ Title: The Monarch of Decay ]
[ Crime: Opposing against Takamagahara Pantheon ]
[ Living Known Relatives: Izanagi and other Takamagahara gods ]
" ~Hello, hello..., Carla Kent... " Izanami saw that she also had a glowing crown on her head.
" Gah, this crown is troublesome, could you please lower the intensity? " Izanami asks Vlad, who happens to have control over the crown via something hidden in his body.
" It seems you both and this 'Carla' here knew each other... " Vlad quickly gets the gist of things.
" Might wanna tell me about your past relationship, perhaps? " Vlad asks.
" Carla here is just like you in the previous life, but better. " Izanami replied while her eyes looked at Carla with some concern.
" Previous Life? " Vlad asks.
" That's not your concern, Mortal! " Hades shouts it.
" You may be Zeus' Avatar..., but the knowledge about her is forbidden for other than the gods themselves. "
" You may ask Zeus if you can... " Izanami adds it.
" But I'm not sure if he would allow of such knowledge, for he-ukh! "At that moment, Carla quickly freezes both gods using her [Frost Spray].
" Carla's so sorry to dishonor you like this... "
" But Carla will not take any chance on letting this invasion be worse. " Carla says as she prepares to charge a freezing attack with Yukikagura, immediately begins to attract the nearby Tartarus Soldiers that Vlad brings with him, charging at her as they decided to prevent it before it was launched.
" Fools, you're too late! " Hades shouts as Carla quickly uses her attack [Frostbite Heavenly Piercer], immediately freezes, and shatters the attackers, whether they're big or small, gigantic or not, those who dared to charge her at her current radius are immediately wiped out due to a tiny hit from the attack.
Even after the attack hits them, the attack continues until it reaches the skies, filling them with powerful snow blizzards and bursts into a beautiful snow shower.
" Still impressive as always..., Divine Hero. " said a voice, it was Izanami as she and Hades evaded the attack.
[ Deviant Curse: Decay ]
" To think I had to use this, I hate it... " Izanami tells Carla as her abilities begin to leak out of her body.
" Izanami... " Hades looked at her as Izanami began to cough, he rushed over her, holding her hand to calm her.
" Even the 'Heavenly Piercer' is not enough against the Decay of God, isn't it? " Carla asks Izanami, feeling pity despite their current situation right now.
" You're pitying me? " Izanami asks while coughing, her Cursed Decay began to take effect even more.
" Carla may be Lord Izanami's enemy, but Carla is not stupid. "
" Especially when Carla sees Lord Hades and Izanami are forced to do this attack. " Carla says it while looking at their crown.
" Instead. " Carla swings Yukikagura, unleashing a 'Blizzard Slash' quickly attacking Vlad who was watching from afar.
" Carla should instead take care of the ones who orchestrated the whole thing. " Carla sees the dissipating smoke of her attack, she sees Vlad has already gone from there.
"( There's no denying it, Zeus must've given the Authority of [Divine Time Interference]. )"
"( Even though Carla can't calculate if the Authority if weaker than Lord Zeus's..., but still... )" Carla quickly deploy another [Ice Barrier].
"( Carla knows Lord Hades and Izanami don't want to be here, but Carla is aware as long as the Crown stuck into their heads... )" Carla imagines the possibility, of Vlad using Carla's sympathy for the two beings earlier and deciding to use them on her.
" Hraah! " Carla quickly defends herself as soon as Vlad attacks her, he sees him move with Godly Speed, time over time, he's getting faster and not just that. His hands are sprouting Thorns, sharp thorns.
[Thorns of the Great Manticore]
Vlad attacks Carla countless more, during his fast movement, he uses the device to take control over Izanami, using her to activate her Decaying abilities over Carla why he attacks her even more.
Carla noticed this, realizing what she feared was true which she responded by increasing her Barrier's intensity in defense and freezing.
"( Lord Izanami's 'Decaying Curse' is a Deviant Corruption enforced during the Lord's first days on discovering the realm of Tartarus. )"
"( Just like Lord Hades, Lord Izanami and the other Diviner Lords are those who were immediately imprisoned in Tartarus as they're the ones who were first affected by the realm Dangerous Energy. )"
"( A possible result, since the founding of Tartarus was done before the Diviners' Corruption before the Diviners made a forbidden pact that sold their Divine Spirit. Freeing themselves from the Tartarus' effects. )" Carla states what she knew, perhaps some secret she learned during her constant times on becoming the Divine Hero.
Using this knowledge, using her Freezing ability, she uses it to decrease the temperature around her body, using the cold to prevent decay. She implements it just like the freezer that freezes the stored meat from getting decomposed.
[ Frost Spray ]
After surviving the Decay, Carla quickly sprays Izanami and Hades with ice, using it to freeze them while she deals with Vlad who begins to get wild with his powers.
* Vlad's speed began to increase even more, his movements is so fast as they began to bend the things around him, like a freaking Tornado. *
" Gryahahaha! " Vlad gets wild, he gets faster as he soon becomes a raging Tornado himself, striking Carla even faster than before, with the movement that could even brush off Carla's freezing effect over him.
"( Is Vlad's speed already able to do 'Thermal Energy'? )" Carla wonders as she realizes that with this kind of speed, Vlad could produce heat, using his speed's friction nonetheless.
Seeing this, Carla looks around, she sees her snow rain is still around, realizing the temperature is still in her favor.
"( Good, Carla had to do it now! )" Carla quickly casts the [Snow Blizzardstorm], casting the tornado out of it in the opposite direction of Vlad's, using the tornado, Carla uses it to decrease the temperature around Vlad's body and also the surroundings around, using it slow Vlad's movement, making his mortal flesh feel the unrelenting cold, gradually slowing his movements, and thus.
" Gah! " Vlad falls from the skies, landing on top of the Battleship, his body aches, for he feels so cold and begins to lose some senses to the parts of his body.
" Gah..., grreuhh, hehehe... " Vlad shivers in cold while Carla decides to spray him with more cold, to bind him.
" Now do you wonder why I'm the Divine Hero? " Carla asks Vlad, claiming her victory.
( Meanwhile. )
Just a bit far from Vlad's aircraft.
" The enemy had successfully defeated Subject Vlad 'Ragna' Arcanon... " said a woman with a voice that sounded like she was a half-robotic.
" Should this subject proceed? " she asks.
" Yes! " said the person talking to her.
" Using your eyes, I could see from the whole battle that the enemy should be taken care of immediately. "
" Thanks to your sight as well as your ears, you had live-streamed this fight as clearly as you could. "
" With that, I understand why Vlad lost in the first place to this 'enemy'..., who happens to be... " the other voice stops.
" My lord? "
" It's nothing, please continue..., ARS-23. "
" As you ordered..., Lord Zeus. " ARS-23 replied as she was then ordered by Zeus to deploy at once.
[ Name: The Divine Arsenal Unit, ARS-23. ]
