Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz were in terrible condition. Leviathan had lost many of his scales, and several of his teeth were broken or missing. Even his tail appeared fractured. Behemoth had fared no better—one of his massive antlers was torn off, a leg was severed, and much of his fur was charred. Ziz was in the worst state, her feathers either burned away or blackened. One wing was broken, and the other had a gaping hole. Genesis, in stark contrast, seemed almost unscathed.
Yet, they remained locked in fierce combat.
Genesis and Behemoth were engaged in a brutal test of strength, trading blows with fists and claws. Ziz then unleashed a deafening cry, releasing powerful sonic waves. The surrounding gods, already far from the battle, retreated even further, knowing that the screech could easily kill them if they got too close.
The screech disrupted Genesis's focus, allowing Behemoth to gain the upper hand and swat him away. Leviathan quickly followed, using his broken tail as a whip to smash Genesis against a nearby planet, completely obliterating it. Genesis lay dazed in the debris, suffering from a slight concussion.
Ziz saw her chance and swooped down, aiming to impale Genesis with her massive beak—intent on obliterating him.
But just as she was mere meters away, Genesis's eyes snapped open. In an instant, he regained clarity and threw a powerful punch toward Ziz's beak. The two forces collided, each struggling to overpower the other. Slowly, cracks began to spread across Ziz's beak like a spiderweb. Genesis then unleashed more power. And then...
**BOOM!**
**SCREECH!!!**
An explosion rocked the battlefield, accompanied by Ziz's anguished screech as her beak shattered. She was sent hurtling back, retreating several planets away.
Behemoth, witnessing this, was consumed with rage, but his anger quickly turned to dread as he felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to see Genesis's gaze fixed on him. Desperate to divert Genesis's attention, Leviathan charged forward, knowing he could still endure more punishment than Behemoth in their current state. But Genesis ignored him.
In a flash, Genesis vanished from the debris and reappeared right in front of Behemoth, surrounded by a flurry of massive ethereal hands.
Behemoth panicked, roaring as he swiped at the onslaught of punches from the ethereal fists. At first, he managed to hold his ground, but the fists grew faster and more numerous. Soon, Behemoth could only block some of the blows while the rest pummeled him relentlessly. Overwhelmed, he found himself at Genesis's mercy.
Genesis, seeing Leviathan approaching, decided to end the fight. He materialized a colossal ethereal hand, larger than Behemoth himself. Following Genesis's right-hand movement, the ethereal hand clenched into a fist and struck Behemoth with tremendous force.
**BOOM!**
With a deafening explosion, Behemoth was sent flying, rendered unconscious and out of the fight.
Genesis then turned to face Leviathan, disappearing and reappearing behind him. He placed a palm on Leviathan's back.
Leviathan, searching for Genesis, froze as he felt the small, almost imperceptible palm on his back, like an ant crawling across his skin. Cold fear gripped him, and though he tried to move or retaliate, it was too late.
Genesis unleashed a vicious palm strike, shattering Leviathan's gargantuan spine.
Genesis followed with another strike, turning the flesh on a large part of Leviathan's back to mush, bursting blood vessels and organs. Leviathan instantly began bleeding from every pore, including his seven orifices. His eyes, already red, turned crimson as they bulged. He coughed up a torrent of golden blood, which flowed from his eyes, nostrils, and ears.
Genesis delivered one final strike, sending Leviathan hurtling toward Behemoth and Ziz. The three strikes were so swift they seemed like one.
**BOOM!**
Leviathan crashed onto a nearby planet, too weak even to scream. His two siblings lay battered on neighboring planets.
Genesis appeared before them, his expression cold and unchanging. "Do you wish to continue?" he asked, his voice calm and unyielding.
Leviathan grunted as his regenerative abilities, though stunted, began to kick in. The same happened with Behemoth and Ziz as they started healing, each reverting to their human form.
Even though they had shrunk back to normal-sized humans and we're on different planets, their senses were sharp enough to see each other clearly
With a painful but prideful grin, Leviathan spoke " Father, you should try deceiving those who can actually be fooled. You may not be as battered as us, but you're critically wounded as well, aren't you.?"
A moment of silence followed as the three primordials healed, smiles slowly forming on their faces
Genesis finally let out a wry smile before blood spurted from his mouth, staining the ground beneath him.
