Chapter 838: Divine Gauntlet I: Eyes of Blue
Korah and Jordan continued their journey, slowly tracking the girls to kill Eris. They kept a low enough profile that they remained undetected for a long time, creeping froth like coiled
snakes. But, that didn't last long.
"Angelina, stop the carriage." Korah said as he looked out of the window. The wind was strong, pulling dust everywhere which made it hard to see, but you can't trick the senses of a god. He could see them, two blue eyes glowing in the distance.
"We're being tailed." He walked out of the carriage. "You there, I don't who you might be. But if you seek help, we can offer it. Show up." He extended his hand forward. "Don't be afraid..."
^I can feel it, that presence, it's a mortal. The gods didn't find us yet; I only needed to trick him somehow. My mind control should be powerful enough. ^ Korah took a step forward. Jordan stared out of the carriage, "Something off about that magic. I've felt it before."
From the dust, the eyes got closer and closer until the mortal appeared in front of the two divines, it was none other than...
"You tried to control me? That's funny; I've been looking for you." Sena said with a calm voice.
Korah's face paled as his eyes started twitching, "By the nine hells!" He cried, waving his hand as fast as he could, teleporting Jordan and his angel away.
"Aren't you a dramatic one?" Sena smiled.
"You fucking monster! What brought your ass here?! You don't have a right to interfere with us, scram back to your sweet daddy." He clenched a fist crackling with divine magic.
"Hooo, you don't say." She shook her head, "I'm suspecting you got someone dear to me in a...let's say a bad spot. I'm here for an explanation, and it's better be a good one."
"Out!" Korah lunged forward with a large golden portal in his hand, "From this world!" He swung it at her.
Sena dodged the portal and clenched a fist, smacking him in the nose with an iron fist. Korah was a lesser god, and such a hit wouldn't take him down. He ate the punch head-on only to be able to counter with a kick charged with as much divine magic as he could, if this hit a mortal, they'd evaporate into nothing.
Sena caught the kick with her palm before it could hit her stomach and clenched on it, almost cracking his bones. Korah took the chance and waved his hand over Sena's face, slashing her like she'd gotten hit with a hundred blades.
Sena instantly healed and grabbed Korah by the neck, clenching so hard that she crushed it like dough and ripped his head off.
Korah's body disappeared and he immediately regenerated fully, gods can't be killed, that is the first rule of their existence. "Try as hard as you can, but I'll not die." He growled, glaring at her. ^I must activate it immediately, but I need a clear opening. If this bitch is here, the other gods would be coming soon, I'm fucked if any of them came.^
"Seven divine rings, call of wealth, gold shining upon the sand, I who built a pyramid to the gods." Korah chanted, "I shall reach them, and prove I'm the only true one."
CLAP! Sena clapped and then combed her fingers, wriggling them.
[Life Expansion: Tentacle Dungeon of Ecstasy and Gore]
Tentacles burst from her back and exploded forth followed by thousands of giant hands and feet, eyes and veins splashing with blood.
Korah gasped, his chants halted at the horrid scene unfolding before him. Sena's head tilted to the side as tentacles burst from her neck and her skin turned purple as eldritch magic consumed the whole place.
She gasped, her hands twisting and turning purple, all of the bone in the reconstructing. Her whole body started transforming. Her hair fell off as her brain grew larger, tentacles burst from her chin, her body inflated into a titanic size inside her expansion, and she looked down at Korah with lightning crackling above her massive draconic wings.
Sena is the daughter of Cain and Tiamat, a draconic eldritch horror that the human mind can't even imagine, ineffable terror.
Tentacles wrapped around Korah's legs and swung him everywhere, smacking him on the ground and mountains of flesh and bone in her expansion.
"You dare touch my Selica!" She clenched a fist and punched him to the ground.
Korah couldn't even move, his whole body throbbed in pain, he might be a god, but he was still alive, and that made him vulnerable to Sena's life magic. She's trying to control and destroy his body.
^At this rate, I'll end up dead. Like a rat's corpse rotting on the street, no one would even dare approach. ^ He gasped, his body getting turned into minced meat and regenerating when his divine rule kicked in.
But...he smiled. "It's my win." He gave Sena a middle finger as her body disappeared and he fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Divine banishment is a magic spell that takes years to prepare and is extremely costly, but it's able to banish a god into a demi-plan where they can't leave for a certain time. The time is in seconds, each year of preparation gives one second of imprisonment.
"I didn't expect, you bitch to show up." He coughed blood and immediately healed up, "Yeah, I've got a lot of spare divine magic. I won't die from just this," He giggled, "I've only a bit of time before the gods storm us, so I need to act fast."
He started walking, "Jordan, how are things on your part?" He asked.
"Messy, but I'm managing well. Got me right on that demigod Eris. What about you?" Jordan replied.
"I've got rid of the overgod's daughter, that bitch is too strong for us to beat. We don't have that much longer, so get to work and don't play around." Korah looked at his fist, "I'm at 95% of my divine magic, I'll fully charge in seconds and follow you."
"Don't stress it...I'm also..." While Jordan was speaking, Korah gasped, "Huh?" He could see something strange and horrifying. Two blue eyes stared at him from the dust, the same way Sena glared at him.
"She's back? No...fuck...white hair, it's Cain." He cried, cutting the call.
"You dare..." Korah gasped, but he immediately noticed something off, this being was taller, looking clearly younger than Cain.
As the dust forward, Gojo walked forward topless with a large smile on his face. "Yoo, I've got two reasons to kill you. That girl was one of my brother's women. And... the one you were speaking with, where is he?" He pointed at Korah with a smug face.
"Who are you?" Korah asked.
"That person, I can smell my ball on him. Would you be so kind as to give it back, it's kind of important." Gojo cracked his knuckles, "I've got more than one reason to kill you now."
"You're petty mortal, and I'm a god. I got scared by your look for a second. But now I'm certain, I'm not scared from your sorry arse." Korah couldn't be happier to face someone
normal.
"I already know that, smartass." Gojo glared at him with a large smile, "I was watching you for days now. To let you know, you're the intruder on mortal lands. I'm going to kick you back
to heaven."
The arrogance of the gods faces the arrogance of dragons in a battle of wits, as the hunger of gluttony clashes with the insatiable void, the world itself begins to crack. The world itself started twisting around them as they stood face to face, glaring at each other souls with
bloodlust.

A day ago...the carriages stopped right outside a battlefield once more, looking down at two armies about to clash. The nobles oppose the attack on the monster of the desert, and the royal army tries to suppress and get them to join the crusade.
The carriage was on the noble's side as they followed Isdis's instruction, it's better to join someone who shares their point of view. If the nobles don't want to attack Arad, it's best to help them stop the royal family.
An armored knight rushed toward the carriage on horseback. "Who are you?! State your name, affiliation, and military rank of available, otherwise will strike you down." He yelled.
"Isdis Lior Ruris, guess from my name. We're here to stop you from attacking Uranus." Isdis
glared at the knight.
"Blond hair and blue eyes?" He looked at her, "Show the insignia of the Ruris Royal family, otherwise your words are as empty as air."
Isdis showed him her necklace and he sighed, "Thank the gods...I don't know how you got here, but if you're going to support us, we can't refuse any help. Please follow me." He
approached the carriage and looked inside.
"Who are all of those?"
"In short," Tempo approached him. "The monster in the desert you're trying to attack is Uranus. Those are his wives, they came to prevent you from getting yourself killed trying to
face him."
The knight looked at Tempo, "You don't look like a wife as far as I know...care to explain?"
"I'm a friend of his." Tempo replied with a large smile.
"A friend of Uranus? The monster knows to have blasted a kingdom of vampires. No human can befriend such a monster." The Knight shook his head, "Who are you?"
"You better not ask." Merlin stared at the knight.
"She's right." Betty added, "He can kill you, your army, the royal army, everyone around, and probably your distant cousins on the other side of the kingdom with a fart. Don't ask
questions."
Isdis nodded, "She's right. As sad as it may be, you're just a knight. Don't ask questions you
can't handle."
"She's saying know your place. If you didn't understand." Eris glared at him.
"All of you..." Tempo looked at them with a smile, "Calm down. I'm here to stop people from
fighting; my name won't be tainted with anything." He looked at the knight with a smile. "I'm Tempo! The volcanic Titan Prince, Nice to meet you, Human Knight!" Tempo's voice- tuning magic failed at the last moment and the knight got knocked out from how loud his voice was.
