Erebus and Nyx, filled with emotion and tranquility, reflected on their journey. After years of hiding, they finally stood at a pivotal moment, having invested everything in Hades. Their choice had proven wise, solidifying the bond of trust with him.
Naturally, Hades had placed immense faith in this couple. Compared to the so-called assistance from other Primordial gods, Erebus and Nyx were genuine allies—unwavering and desperate in their commitment. They had given everything for this moment, and it was this dedication that had led them here.
"Hoo" Erebus exhaled, his breath steady. Both he and Nyx awaited the unfolding events, knowing that everything was converging before them.
Waves of divine power surged, revealing several figures. At the forefront was Ebisu his expression grim and eyes icy.
"Erebus, Nyx," he said coolly, "I never imagined you two were behind all this. You must realize the price of your actions."
Erebus chuckled lightly, a calm smile gracing his face. "It's all quite simple. The initiative lies with us. Do you really think you have the qualifications to challenge that?"
With a sweeping gesture, Erebus's eyes sparkled with indifference. The four other gods exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions darkening. They understood the gravity of the situation and were hesitant to act rashly. The couple held absolute control; while they could potentially overpower the two, killing them was an entirely different matter. Such an endeavor would be a fool's errand. Given the slightest chance, Erebus and Nyx could easily escape, rendering any attempt futile.
This so-called game was a trap, one they were forced to navigate with trepidation. The truth was evident, no matter how they tried to frame it.
"Hehehe" Nyx raised a hand, summoning a tide of divine energy. The vast expanse of night enveloped the four gods. "Now, everything truly begins. One misstep, and you will perish."
The four gods bristled with anger, incredulous that Nyx would dare such a move. But as they prepared to retaliate, an unsettling realization washed over them.
Erebus's voice cut through the tension: "Do you not recall what happens when darkness and night converge?"
The four gods suddenly comprehended their peril, but it was too late. A surge of nine-pointed stars erupted around them, forming an impenetrable barrier. This was the frightening essence of Erebus and Nyx—their combined powers manifested in an enchantment so formidable that even the most ancient gods feared to tread within it.
As the four Primordial gods were drawn into the enchantment, their expressions morphed from anger to shock.
"Something's wrong..." one murmured, sensing the dread of reality closing in around them.
Their divine power began to dwindle, rapidly compressing to 30%. This was not the work of Erebus and Nyx alone; something deeper was at play.
In the enveloping darkness, Erebus and Nyx exchanged knowing glances, a synchronized smile playing on their lips. Everything was unfolding just as they had planned.
This special enchantment they wielded would sap any god's power by at least 40%. Even the Lord God of Heaven and Gaia were not immune; stepping into this realm would result in devastating losses.
The four gods felt their powers slipping further—80%, 70%, 60%—with each passing moment. The magnitude of this enchantment was staggering, and its implications were clear.
The barrier was infused with Hades' divine power, blending seamlessly with the energies of Erebus and Nyx. This transformation rendered the situation all the more dire for their adversaries.
As the two Primordial gods donned their greatest treasures, they prepared to step into the battlefield. What lay ahead promised to be exhilarating.
With a faint smile, Erebus knew that the defeat of the four gods heralded the end of this chapter.
