Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Monster of Victory

Naz.- Can you tell what you want to see in this fight? Obviously apart from that guy

Yuki.- First of all, I'm not interested in that guy at all. Second, that idiot's name is Eden. And third, what I'm interested in is the other guy named Shu

Naz.- So a love triangle...

*Yuki punches Naz in the head*

Yuki.- It's nothing like that, I just want to know if the rumors they say about him are true

Naz.- What rumors?

Yuki.- Many say that he was one of the three students who were going to enter by recommendation, however, for some reason he rejected it; And on the other hand, they say that he acts like he's a different person when it comes to a fight

Naz.- Anyone different? That's impossible

Yuki.- I think the same, but when I met him today, he didn't seem like someone strong, so I don't understand how he could have the option of entering by recommendation

Naz.- Maybe he belongs to a wealthy family and has contacts within GODS

Yuki...- Maybe...

*Eden and Shu take to the battle arena and the whole audience gets excited*

Zeus.- *Think* This fight isn't going to be bad at all. Now we'll see if your apprentice is ready, Shun

Eden: Is it possible to know what you intended by telling me that?

Shu.- I didn't mean anything, I'm just telling you the truth

Eden.- *Think* From the moment we found ourselves on the stairs both his aura and his gaze were completely different

Shun.- *Think* Eden, it's time for you to prove your potential to the world

Zeus.- Get started!!

*Eden goes all out against Shu*

*Both starts exchanging attacks*

Shun.- *Thinks* He's improved his speed a lot, however, he's exceeding his maximum, that will exhaust him quickly.

*Eden's sword hits Shun's spear and knocks it out of his hands*

*Eden at high-speed lands a kick in Shun's stomach and sends him into the stands*

Heracles: Not bad

*Hermes and Aphrodite are surprised to hear Heracles*

Heracles: I mean... that what he has done is wrong, he has exhausted a lot of his energy in a short time

That's your strategy, you idiot

Hermes: What do you mean?

It's clear that he has the disadvantage in a long-term battle, so it's best for him to end the fight right away

Shu- It's not bad, Eden.

Eden.- I'm telling you the same thing, not many would get up like nothing after that kick

Shu: Well, then, you haven't faced anyone strong from what I see

Eden.- *Think* If I don't finish this as soon as possible, he'll tear me apart

Shu: Lord Zeus, I have a question

Zeus: What's going on?

Shu.- As long as I don't kill my opponent, I won't be disqualified, right?

Zeus: Yes, that's right

Shu.- I see... So, I just need you to breathe

*The place is filled with a thick, dark haze*

Eden: What is this? I can't see a thing

Shun.- *Think* This is over, Eden won't be able to do anything about it

Shu.- I'm sorry Eden, but this is as far as you've come

Eden.- I'm not going to give up, the battle is still...*He receives a big blow that takes his breath away*

Shu.- I thought that the apprentice of the great Shun would be invincible, but look at you, you haven't even been able to hurt me

Eden.- *Thinks* Damn, I can't breathe

*Eden receives several blows from different directions and spits blood*

Eden.- *Think* I can't foresee where their attacks are coming from, I'm in danger, I just need...

*One of Eden's arms falls to the ground after being severed*

*Eden screams in pain as he loses blood*

Shun.- *Thinks* Impossible, this can't be happening

*The entire audience is confused by the cries of pain*

*Shu appears in front of Eden as he screams in pain*

Shu.- You look pathetic, but I don't blame you, you're facing the so-called monster of victory, and nothing I do will hurt me, since I know what your next move will be

*Eden grabs Shu's arm*

Shu.- What the hell are you doing?

Eden: You should never trust a fight

*The Sword of Eden falls from above*

Shu.- What?

*Shu manages to retreat before the sword falls on him*

*Eden grabs the sword as it falls and slams Shu squarely*

*Shu is injured and spits blood from the blow*

*The mist disperses and Shu is on his knees due to the pain*

Shun.- *Think* At what point did you think of all that?

*The entire audience is stunned to see Eden without an arm and Shu in pain*

Yuki.- *Think* What the hell happened in there?

Shu.- *Think* This is impossible. Has someone so weak hurt me?

Shu.- Screw you!

Yuki.- So the rumors were true, that look is that of the monster of victory

*Shu begins to release a great deal of energy*

Shu: I won't forgive you; I'm not going to forgive you!

*Eden tears his clothes and covers his cut*

Zeus.- *Thinks* He doesn't have much time left before he loses consciousness, the best will be

*Zeus starts to get up, but Eden stares at him and stops*

Zeus.- *Think* That look... *Smile*

Hermes: You'd better stop it before it gets worse

Shun.- He's fine, he's already made up his mind

Hermes: You are his teacher for something, to teach him when he has to stop

That's impossible, I can't stop someone like that

Hermes: What do you mean by that?

Heracles: He's always admired people who are firm with their decisions and don't stop until they achieve their goal, and right now we have someone like that in front of us

*All the gods stood in front of Eden*

Yuki.- What's going on?

Aphrodite: That human has earned the respect of the gods

Yuki: Aphrodite, what are you doing here?

Aphrodite: I'll tell you that later, now admire something that is not always witnessed

*Shu observes all the gods clapping their hands*

Shu.- *Think* What the hell do you think they're doing? Why do they applaud him? They should applaud me and my great power. Damn you, who do you think you can get all the attention?

*Shu begins to release an aggressive aura*

Eden.- *Think* There it is, this is your true power *smiles*

Eden: *Eden also begins to release its power*

Shu.- Light Technique: Divine Radiance

*Shu generates a large sphere of energy that sends towards Eden*

*The Sword of Eden begins to coat in energy*

Eden: Dark flame!

*The Sword of Eden ejects a large amount of energy that cuts through Shu's technique and impacts him squarely*

*Shu is hit by the technique and sent to the walls of the stands*

*Shu is shown suffering great pain from his injuries*

Eden: You are really strong Shu, yet you trusted against me

*Eden generates a sphere of energy in the palm of his hand*

Shu.- *Thinks* Damn, it's over...

*Eden is shown slowly falling to the ground*

Shun.- What?

Zeus: *Thinks* It seems that he did not accomplish his task before he lost consciousness. Still, you put up a great fight

Shu.- *Thinks* Now is my time. I plan to take revenge for all the humiliation you've put me through

*Shu points his spear at Eden*

Heracles: Hey, hey, what the hell is he trying to?

Shu.- *Think* Now all the attention will be mine and not that of a loser like you

*Shu begins to suffer from a major headache*

*Shu hears a voice in his mind telling him to stop*

*Shu falls to his knees defeated*

Heracles: What has just happened?

*You can hear the heartbeat of everyone present begin to accelerate*

Yuki.- What's going on?

Naz.- Did you feel it too?

Yuki.- Yes, it's as if something is giving us a clear message, and what it says is... That we're going to die now

*The whole audience is stunned by the image that came to their heads*

*Eden begins to give off a totally different aura*

Unknown 14.- *Telepathically to all* I will kill you all, you are all going to die

Zeus.- And devil...

*Eden's body, shrouded in a dark aura, slowly approaches Shu

Unknown 14.- Human Scum...

Shu: The gods of Olympus have forsaken me

*The barrier that protected the audience is quickly broken and Shun enters the combat arena*

Shun.- Space Technique.- Space Seal

*A large bubble is generated that envelops Eden and its energy*

*The whole audience gets upset and runs away*

Hey, hey, I think you went a little overboard, Eden. Now everyone knows about your little secret

*Shun stares at Zeus and Zeus nods*

*Shun, Aphrodite, Hermes and Heracles escort the bubble that protects Eden*

Zeus.- For the time being, GODS testing is suspended until further notice

Shu.- A demon...

*A person is shown leaving the battle arena*
