Chapter 1985 Trump Cards
Far away, Death herself was still busy processing all of the abomination corpses that Amaterasu brought, which was a mountain of work even for her. She had to check them all for souls, send the bodies to the underworld, have them clenched, and then melted back as food for Entropy.
It was just a lot of work. Yesterday, she was planning to finish everything in a single night, but when Amaterasu called and told her that she won't be killing more abominations in the morning, Death herself decided not to push herself too much.
"This is a rare chance, make sure to handle everything with care. They might've been abominations before, but they are now precious fuel for the universe." As Death herself commanded her angels and archons, she suddenly froze in place.
Her eyes opened wide, her nails turned into long claws, and every angel around her dropped dead. The entire world they were in quaked, and for a second there, the dead were coming back to life. The air around her ripped apart, and her face turned into a burning mess of dark flames and raging black divine magic.
The angels all freaked out for a second, and then panicked for real when they heard her mumble. "Amaterasu is dead? She was murdered?!"
But then, her face returned to normal… "No, it was just her avatar. That scared me for a second…" She looked around and quickly revived all of the angels that died from her presence.
"Your divinity, what did you mean by that?" One of her archons, the reaper, flew down with a pale face as he asked with a shaking voice.
"Eris, Los the divine of murder, had managed to brutally murder one of Amaterasu's avatars." As she replied, all of the angels around her paled even more. One of them even gasped. "By the divines, how in AO's left nipple did she manage to pull that off?!"
The archon stared at her, "Haven't heard that in a while, ever since AO tried to teach Adam and Eve how breastfeeding works."
Another archon laughed, "Yeah, he used Lucifer as a prop, if you all just were there to see his face."
Death herself smiled, "Yeah, Lucifer hated that. But don't even mention that in front of him, he would kill you. I know, since he already killed many for just mentioning it."
Far away, the sky was blocked by wings, as massive, one-hundred-meter-long butterflies, millions of them, engulfed the entire world. Beneath them, swarms of even more butterflies, some smaller, some regular in size, all spread across the entire world like crickets.
On the ground, surrounded by blood, torn guts, corpses, and wailing screams, Eris walked naked, dragging Amaterasu's violated body by the hair. The body was torn open, the guts pulled out, the eyes ripped and shoved down her throat, and the intestines were looked back to her mouth and ansu.
The endless swarm of butterflies swarmed to feed off the fresh corpses, and Eris dropped it for them. They swarmed the corpse, drank its blood, and laid their eggs in the bleeding flesh. The larvae hatched almost immediately, and they ate what was left of the corpse until not even the bones were left.
"You killed me, well, murdered me is a better word." Amaterasu appeared beside Eris with her eyes closed.
Eris glared at her, "That was just an avatar equal to me in power, not really you… and why are you closing your eyes? Those butterflies won't drink your tears."
"Well, they usually do that in the wild. But I'm closing my eyes because you're probably naked…" Amaterasu smiled grew wider, "Just thinking about is making me cu…ummmh!"
Eris glared at her with a disappointed face. "Yeah, did anyone tell you that you're weird?"
Amaterasu wiped her droll and waved her hand, "Thanks for the compliment. But would you please wear something? I would love to see the carnage you made."
Since Eris didn't have any new clothes on her, she created some with her blood and plasma, wearing a radiant golden dress of divine ichor and a crown of roaring plasma. "You can open your eyes."
Amaterasu looked around with a happy face. "What a harrowing sight. Worth of being a trump card." She stretched her arms. "But I am certain this has exhausted you, so let's end the training now. Go rest, and don't teach Arad what you learned now. Keep it until after you fight him."
Eris sighed, "Well, fine. But when would we continue?"
"I plan to kill more abominations tomorrow, so the day after. I also can't keep you for long, you have work, right?" Amaterasu started floating, "Feel free to come back here and use this place as you see fit. We'll train again here later."
As Amaterasu disappeared, Eris also teleported into her heaven inside Arad's stomach. But long before that, when Arad was still fighting Kali, their battle went as well as anyone would've expected.
Kali dropped Arad down several more times before he finally managed to pull it off. By keeping one of his incarnations at the ready inside his stomach, he was able to quickly recover from having his brain damaged, and for the first time, didn't get his memories knocked out of his head.
As Arad sat on the ground, still bleeding from his nose as Kali had just stomped his head down, he smiled. "It seems that keeping an incarnation inside my stomach, watching the fight, works fine. While the memories in this brain get erased immediately, the image the incarnation saw didn't."
As he healed, Kali sat facing him with a smile. "And it only took me cracking your skull thirty-six times."
"Thirty-five, I don't want to count that first time as I didn't realise what was happening at the time." Arad crossed his massive arms, "So, what's next?"
Kali stood and rested her fists on her hips and waist. "Well, since Eris is your opponent, I think this would eventually happen."
Arad stood with her and got ready for whatever she was about to throw at him. But he surely wasn't ready; no man would ever be ready for it.
In the blink of an eye, three of her arms flew at his face, and Arad barely managed to dodge two while the last one hit his jaw. He would've dropped down if he wasn't ready for it. She was aiming at his jaw to shake his brain and knock him out. As expected, the brain and spine are his biggest weakness.
But he was wrong, utterly wrong. Kali's foot flew like a meteor and gave his groin a hit so hard that it made Kali herself wince. Arad's eyes rolled back, his face froze, and his entire body crashed down, hitting the ground, unable to breathe or move.
Kali looked at him, then squatted beside his face. "Gotta protect those too. Eris won't just kick them; she'll bite them off." She then gave him a look and healed him before he woke up.
When Arad opened his eyes again, he turned around and almost puked his guts out. Even though he was fully healed, he could still feel the pain radiate through his entire body, and it felt like his spine was torn out of his back.
Kali, who sat by his head, looked at him. "Sorry, besides popping them out, I have also shattered your tailbone, and with it, cracked the lower part of your spine. The shockwave also travelled through your spinal fluid and messed up your brain."
She lifted her foot, wiggled her toes in front of his face, and then rested both legs on his chest. "As expected from a goddess of destruction, a kick down there would cause far more damage."
She looked at him with a smile. "You aren't angry at me? That was a pretty painful hit. And a cheap one at that."
He smiled, "Then I got the perfect gift for you." He sat up and extended his hand toward her. "Pick your poison, my hand, or you put it inside."
She licked her lips. "Hoo, want to do it here and now? Should I turn all of my power so I can feel a bit of pain? Or are you just horny?" She stood, approached Arad, grabbed his flesh, and shoved it all inside her in a single go. "I am on all day long."
Arad grabbed both of her nipples, and then looked at her with a smug smile. "Keep your power on, but don't resist or try to get away."
She looked at him with a grin. "I'll never… GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The way she squealed was unbefitting of a divine demon goddess of destruction, and squeals never stopped for the next hour. What Arad gave her was a gift from her Archon Gabriella, the Archon of Vibration.
Eris's trump card is scary, but Arad is can just vibrate.
