Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Victory

Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Victory

Drake (Police): What the hell did he have to go through here?

*The thousands of sliced bodies are shown*

Drake: Whoever did this, it's very dangerous

Winks: Boss, they've found thousands of guards and cops across the 9 worlds

Drake: Damn, this is war. Winks, contact the headquarters, we'll have to bring the Berserkers

Winks: The Berserkers? Boss, they're only called for special missions

Drake: I told you to contact them, this situation is very serious

Winks: Got it sir

*Meanwhile the city is shown with a lot of decoration*

Aphrodite: As you can tell that today is the last day of the clashes

Balder: Yes, how does your student Shu handle it?

Aphrodite: I guess fine, when I left in the morning I was training with Isaac

Balder: I see

Aphrodite: And your favorite student Nai?

Balder: If I'm not mistaken, he went to Jötunheim with Thor to face the frost giants

Aphrodite: Jötunheim?! Why a place as dangerous as that?

Balder: I mean, it's hard to understand how Thor thinks. As soon as I have seen him in these years, he spends his time doing missions in the nine worlds or in other places by the special forces

Aphrodite: The lives of many changed from her appearance

Balder: yes... after all, that's where the strongest are to be found. They are monsters

*Shu is shown facing Isaac*

*Isaac hits Shu with his spear and he flies away*

*Shu is shown very tired and bleeding*

Isaac: Come on, is that all you have?

Shu: Idiot, I've just started

*Shu's eyes change color to gold*

Shu: Come, I'll tear you to pieces

*Isaac goes all out*

*Isaac's movements are shown through Shu's gaze*

Shu: *Think* I've got you

*Shu dodges all of Isaac's attacks with great ease*

Shu: Very slow

*Shu hits Isaac at high speed and leaves him on the ground*

Isaac: *Spit blood* You really are a monster

*Shu is shown bleeding from his eyes*

Isaac: Shu! What's wrong?!

Shu: Don't worry, I'm fine

Isaac: No, it's obvious that you're not well. Why are your eyes bleeding?

Shu: These are side effects of using my unique technique: The Eyes of God. I wanted to use it against Nai, but I can't hold it for more than 10 seconds

Isaac: Do you need me to call a doctor?

Shu: It won't be necessary, I'll be fine in a while

Isaac: Okay, but for the moment rest, at night it will be the fight, so you need to be at 100 percent, understand?

Shu: As you say, mother

*Isaac and Shu laugh*

*Meanwhile the frozen lands of Jötunheim are shown*

*A gigantic lightning strikes and several ice giants fall to the ground*

Thor: Come on, damn Jötun! Give me some fun

*A Jötun launches a large attack with an ice mallet that crushes Thor*

*The deck is surrounded by lightning and explodes into pieces*

Thor: Not bad, not bad. However, you are very weak

Thor: Electric Spear

*A sharp beam passes through Jötun's body and falls to the ground*

Thor: I'm sorry Mjölnir, but these very weak guys don't deserve to be hit by your power

*Nai is shown shooting off a giant mountain*

*Nai impacts and gets stuck in the mountain*

Thor: I don't see you in shape Nai, these icy asses are beating you up

Nai: Shut up, I'm just warming up

*A large horde of Jötun is shown in the distance*

Thor: Looks like we have a bit of company

*Nai and Thor begin to expel lightning from the body*

Nai and Thor: This will be fun!

*A gigantic ice sword falls in front of Thor*

Thor: *Smile* What an unexpected visit, Thrym, king of the frost giants

*A 5-meter giant is shown with several wounds on his face*

Thrym: Long time no see, Thor, Son of Odin

Thor: It looks like you've recovered from that beating I gave

Thrym: *Smiles* After our meeting I've been left with a few scars, but it's nothing important

Thor: What about your family?... Sorry, I had forgotten that I annihilated her all

*Thrym brings his face closer to Thor and the large difference in size is shown*

Thrym: Take my family out of your filthy mouth, son of Odin

Thor: Okay, frozen ass

*Thor and Thrym attack at high-speed impacting their weapons*

*The impact generates a large shock wave that sends everyone who was nearby into the air*

Thor: You haven't lost any strength frozen ass

Thrym: Insolent

*Thrym sends Thor flying against the mountain*

Nai: Do you need a little help?

Thor: No, you take care of the others

Thor: Berse...

*One light covers the entire place*

*A silhouette mounted on an 8-legged horse is shown*

Odin: Stop this fight right now!

*Shu is shown in the city market*

Shu: *Think* If I want to stand a chance against Nai, I must get a shield at all costs. That will serve me until the moment when I am ready to attack

Sara: It looks like you're looking for something

Shu: Sara... Yes, I'm looking for a shield that's really good

Sara: There's a store very close to here that sells guns, maybe you'll find one there

Shu: Okay, thank you

Sara: Could we talk?

Shu: Yes, if you want to talk about it when I finish buying the shield

Sara: Okay, then I'll accompany you

*Store and owner shown*

Zenor: You are welcome, how can I help you?

Shu: Hi, I'm here looking for a shield

Zenor: Any traits in particular*

Shu: Can be used with one hand and is very resistant

Zenor: I have one that you might be interested in

*Purple shield with green detail shown*

Shu: It's impressive...

Zenor: Isn't it? It is made of an obsidian from Zutarts and the green details are from a strange material found in Niflheim

Shu: Niflheim?

Sara: The realm of perpetual mist, where the dark elves live

Shu: Dark elves?

Zenor: They are the most despicable beings of the nine worlds, although they ceased to exist many years ago

Shu: What? And how did that happen?

Zenor: Nobody knows, they just disappeared without a trace. But it's not that it matters either, it was the best thing that could have happened

Shu: I see... I take this one

Zenor: Very good choice

*Shu and Sara leave the store*

Shu and Sara: Thank you

Zenor: Come back soon

Shu: Doesn't that sound weird?

Sara: Weird? What?

Shu: The disappearance of the dark elves, I can't understand that an entire civilization disappears from one day to the next

Sara: Yes... but, although it may seem strange to me, I would not know how to explain it

Shu: I get it... By the way, what did you want to talk about?

Sara: I wanted to apologize to you and Eden for what happened the other day with my brother

Shu. You don't have to worry, not much happened either

Sara: I know, but my brother got very violent with you...

Shu: Don't worry, it was nothing, but I still don't understand why he behaves like this with you, aren't they supposed to be brothers?

Sara: We're not really...

Shu: Huh?! What are you saying?

Sara: It's true that I'm his family, but we're not brothers or stepbrothers

Shu: What a surprise... I expected any silly excuse, but I didn't expect this at all. Can I know what happened?

*Flashback*

Nai (Child): Mother, I don't understand why we have to come to this

Elin (Nai's mother): It's your cousin's birthday, the least we can do is come

Nai: But she's a simple human, why should I get together with such an inferior race?

Elin: Listen Nai, I'm human too. Does that mean I'm inferior to you?

Nai: No, you're a completely different case mother

Elin: Nai, one day you will be the new father of everything and you must learn to understand and respect all the races that are in the 9 worlds and outside of them.

Nai: Yes...

Elin: Look, we're there...

*A great silence is shown*

Elin: Nai, stay behind

Nai: What's up, mother?

Elin: Just stay behind

*Glass of the door full of blood is shown*

Elin: *Think* What happened here?

*Elin pulls a sword from the palm of her hand*

Elin: *Think* I can't put Nai at risk. But what does that mean? Will it be more dangerous outside or inside?

Elin: Nai, get ready to fight

Nai: Yes

*Elin opens the door and several bodies are shown with scratches, bites and cuts*

Elin: *Shocked* What happened here?

*Nai is shown vomiting*

*Elin begins to check room by room looking for any survivors*

Elin: *Think* Damn, this looks like hell itself

*Elin opens the last door and Goblins are shown eating from a body*

*Elin hides and makes the gesture of vomiting*

Elin: *Think* Goblins? Goblins? What are they doing here?

Nai: Mother, I found someone

*Goblins are shown rising with blood on their faces*

Elin: Nai! Silence!

*Goblins smile and go on the attack against Elin*

*Elin begins to fight the Goblins*

Nai: Mother!

Elin: Take the survivor and leave now!

Nai: But...

Elin: Now!

Nai: Yes...

*Goblins start hurting Elin*

*Nai escapes with a girl covered in blood*

*The Goblins try to scream, but Elin slits their throats*

Elin: *Think* Even though there were only two, they managed to hurt me, you can tell I've gotten worse

*Elin leaves the house to see Nai*

Elin: Nai, how is the girl?

*A large group of dark elves is shown with a large pack of wolves with Nai and the girl*

Elin: Dark elves...

Xyndra: How long have we not seen Elin

Elin: So, you were the ones who caused all this, right?

Xyndra: Who knows

Elin: Damned. Let go of my son and that girl once and for all

Xyndra: You'd better calm down Elin or should I say Lirael, princess of the dark elves

Elin: Shut up, Xyndra, leader of the northern troops

Xyndra: Come on, don't take it personally, I'm just fulfilling the King's request

Elin: I am no longer part of the Dark Elves, I renounced the crown

Xyndra: Lirael, even if you change the way you speak, your skin color, your hair, even your face, your roots will remain within you no matter what you do. So, stop behaving like a stupid girl and go back to the kingdom

Elin: I will, only under the condition that you can already intuit

Xyndra: Don't worry, I'll take care of that

*The elves knock out Nai and the girl*

*Through the girl's eyes it is shown how Elin's skin turns dark*

*Back to the present*

Sara: From that moment on, Nai hates me, since she believes that the fault for her mother's disappearance is mine

Shu: I'm sorry I asked...

Sara: Don't worry

Shu: *Think* Nai's mother is the princess of the dark elves? What really happened to them?

Shu: Have you told anyone about this?

Sara: No, if people knew that, they might kill Nai, because she has dark elf blood...

Shu: I see...

Sara: Wow, it's too late, I have to go, sorry for taking so much time from you

Shu: No, it's been a pleasure to see you

Sara: Goodbye

Shu: Goodbye

*The hours go by and the great atmosphere in Asgard is shown*

Aphrodite: The city is beautiful with all this lighting

Balder: Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen the city so excited

Aphrodite: By the way, why is it so cold?

Balder: No idea, the weather is supposed to be normal at this time, but it's colder than normal

Aphrodite: Yes...

*Eden is shown next to Shu in the locker rooms*

Eden: The moment you have been waiting for has finally arrived, Shu

Shu: Yes

Eden: I'm very overwhelmed

Shu: Yes, although I wanted this moment to come so I could break Nai's face, I don't think I can beat her

*Eden bumps his fist into Shu's chest*

Eden: No matter what happens, it doesn't matter if you lose, it won't bother me, but if you lose without giving it your all, I'll hate you

Shu: *Smile* You don't have to tell me; I'll give it my all in this battle

Eden: You are also in the perfect scenario, if you win you will be the center of attention

Shu: That's very boring...

Eden: *Smile* Good luck, mate

Shu: I promise I'll win

Eden: You don't need to promise, I know you'll win

*Eden leaves and Shu prepares*

*Shu dons his gold and green armor*

Shu: *Think* Our pass to the second round depends on me, I have to win

*Shu is shown taking to the battlefield with his spear and shield*

*The entire audience screams with excitement*

Nai: Are you ready to be humiliated?

Shu: That's what I'm asking you

Odin: Good evening to all present. Thank you for coming to this great confrontation that will decide who will go through to the second round of the Tournament Of God. Will it be the Nork Institute? Or the GODS institute? Well, today we will find out

*Hundreds of fireworks begin to explode outside the battlefield*

Shu: I'll tear you to pieces, Nai

Nai: I hope you amuse me a little, child prodigy

*The serious faces of Aphrodite, Odin, Eden and Isaac are shown*

Odin: Get started!

*At high-speed Nai launches an attack with her hammer, but Shu manages to react and covers with her shield*

*Both are scattered backwards*

*Shu's shield is shown spewing smoke*

Nai: Not bad at all

*Shu's arm is shown shaking*

Shu: *Think* It's a monster, a single blow has left my arm very bad

*Nai's body expels lightning*

*Nai's attacks are constant and Shu manages to defend himself from all of them*

Nai: Having to attack alone is boring

Nai: Electricity Technique: Divine Fury

*The sky begins to cloud*

Shu: Shit, this is dangerous

*Giant lightning bolts begin to fall towards Shu*

*Shu is shown suffering as he tries to fend off lightning*

*Nai quickly appears on top of Shu*

Shu: Shit

*Nai's hammer hits the shield and breaks it completely*

Nai: Now start

*Dozens of lightning strikes on Shu leaving him very injured*

Nai: It's over...

*The smoke disperses and Shu is shown with a shield in hand*

Nai: What?!

Shu: *Think* I didn't expect this to pop up now

Aphrodite: That's... Athena's shield

Shu: *tch* Looks like I'll have to rely on someone again

*Shu places the shield on his arm*

Nai: *Smiles* Now this gets exciting

*Shu goes on the attack and the two begin to exchange attacks*

*Shu throws a kick and Nai grabs his leg*

*Shu uses his supporting hand and kicks Nai in the face, being able to let go of his leg*

Nai: *Spit blood* I didn't expect you to make me bleed, you child prodigy

Nai: Electrical Technique: Electric Lance

*A bolt of lightning of great power and speed hits Shu's shield*

*Shu begins to retreat due to the force of the attack*

Shu: *'Think* If I try to resist this attack, I will most likely end up defeated, I only have one option left

Shu: Eyes of God

*Shu's eyes change color*

Eden: *Think* That technique...

Isaac: *Think* Are you sure about that Shu?

*Shu sends Nai's attack into the sky and leaving his body unprotected*

*Nai appears right in front of Shu*

Nai: I got you

*Nai's hammer hits the air*

Nai: What?!

Shu: It's my chance

*Shu's spear hits Nai's hammer and shatters it into pieces*

*Shu falls to the ground and has a bleeding eye*

Shu: *Think* I got it

Nai: Damn it

Eden: Why did he attack his hammer and not Nai?

Aphrodite: Because Nai not only uses her hammer as a weapon, but as a channeler, since she has a great energy that she is unable to control just like you. So, if that hammer decreases its strength considerably

Shu: *Smile* Have you considered giving up yet?

Nai: Shut up, even if I can't use all my strength, I'm stronger than you

Shu: And who said I was using all my power?

Narrator: There are 6 types of basic Zenka energy and their incalculable number of variants. However, far from all this are physical skills, which are possible to train, but only a few manage to develop skills of this type. These range from being able to grow many meters, being faster, being stronger, but there is an even smaller group that is capable of putting all these together and being able to use them, that group is known as "Titan Fury"

*Shu's body begins to change shape, with more pronounced muscles, longer hair, bright eyes, greater aura of energy, and an imposing gaze*

Odin and Aphrodite: *Think* A Titan Fury!?

Nai: What's going on?

*Shu hits Nai's stomach with great force and brings him to his knees*

Nai: *Think* Where did he get all this strength?

*Nai spits out liters of blood*

Nai: Damn...

*Shu kicks Nai against the parents leaving him buried there*

Odin: Heimdall, end the fight

Heimdall: Are you sure, sir?

Odin: Do as I tell you

Heimdall: yes...

*Heimdall blows the horn*

*The entire audience screams with excitement*

Isaac: Have we...? Livestock?

*Shu begins to expel steam from his body as he returns to his usual size*

Isaac: We won!

*GODS members celebrate, while Nork members show their disappointment*

*Fireworks begin to explode*

Shu: *Falls to my knees* I can barely move, I'm over the limit...

Nai: Not yet

*Nai appears behind Shu with a lightning bolt in her hand*

Eden: Watch out!

*A hand grabs Nai's arm*

Thor: Stop

*Nai falls to the ground with no energy*

Odin: Officially the third fight is won by Shu Sagesse, a member of the GODS institute, therefore, GODS goes to the second round

*Everyone in GODS is shown celebrating with euphoria*

Yohei: It seems that I underestimate the child prodigy a little bit

*Eden and Isaac enter the battlefield to celebrate with Shu*

Eden: You did it *Smile*

Shu: Yes *Smiles and bumps his fist into Eden's chest*

*Isaac and Eden begin to throw Shu upwards*

*Issac carries Shu seated on his shoulders*

Shu: What do you do?

Isaac: You should celebrate properly, so raise that fist

*Shu raises his fist in victory and the crowd screams in euphoria*

*A figure is shown at the top of a mountain*

Loki: Wow, is it over yet? It's a shame. If the beginning has been fun, I think I'm going to enjoy the outcome much more, don't you think? *Smile*

*The hooded ones are shown*

Shu: Thank you, Athena

*Athena's shield slowly fades away*

Eden: *Think* Even though I won, I felt like something was wrong, but I thought it was just my idea until all that came...
