Chapter 799: A Legend in the Making. 4

"We are surrounded!" Athena spoke.

On one side, a legion of an immortal army made up of demons and deceased gods, including the Demon King, who killed two powerful God Kings, a Godslayer, a demonic general, the goddess of beauty, and the primordial goddess of the night. Not to mention the progenitor of the Gorgons, Medusa. A Ghoul Queen and two more frightening Maids who could control dark fire and darkness.

On the other side, the entire army of Persephone, primarily composed of the children of Nyx herself and Erebus, as well as the gods born from these children. An army composed of second-generation primordial gods related to death, dreams, revenge, and other siblings who were also children of Nyx.

Meanwhile, on the side of Olympus, there were two first-

generation primordial gods, several Titans, who were second-generation primordial gods like Atlas and Helios. As well as the great Olympians such as Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Ares, Dionysus, and Poseidon.

Although it might seem that Olympus had the advantage, most of these beings were injured due to Victor's initial attack, which caught them all off guard. So it was safe to say that Olympus was at a disadvantage, especially now that they lost their leaders... But this information might not be correct either. After all, that unknown man had not acted yet and seemed quite unconcerned about the whole situation.

Fortunately, Atlas and Ares were natural leaders, and there weren't many problems with them taking command of everything.

"Zeus! ... Where is he?" Persephone asked in confusion.

"... My Queen... Zeus is dead... and not just him, Kronos is dead too," Thanatos spoke as he looked in Victor's direction.

"W-What-..?" Persephone looked at Victor, specifically at the blood-covered man who was looking at everyone with a lifeless expression.

"Kronos..." Persephone widened her eyes. In the time she was preparing for war, Victor killed two God Kings!

"We are not at a disadvantage," Tartaros said as he stood up from the ground, cracking his neck.

"The creatures of Tartaros will not be defeated by a mere mortal." Red chaotic power began to explode from Tartaros' body. Red flames emerged from the ground, and the next moment, five creatures with multiple heads and arms appeared.

"The Hecatonchires? How is this possible? Weren't they in Olympus?" Ares squinted at these beings, soon realizing they were different from the ones he knew.

'...They are not what I know... What were the primordial gods up to?' Ares could clearly feel that they were similar but not the same as the ones he knew. It was as if they were children of Tartaros himself, not of Uranus and Gaia... Despite Gaia's 'earth' feeling still lingering, the feeling of the father was different, and they seemed more chaotic than the original Hecatonchires.

'Don't tell me... He created these abominations with Gaia? Again?' Ares felt that this war was much stranger than he had previously predicted.

"Father?" one of the Hecatonchires spoke.

"The promised time has come, and the enemies are ahead. Fulfill your training."

"Yes!" The five Hecatonchires spoke in unison.

"Nocturnus, it's your turn. Stop fooling around," Erebus narrowed his eyes at the floating man.

"Yeah, yeah, Father." The man put his hand on his face, and with a simple squeeze, the mask broke, revealing the man's pale skin, black eyes like darkness itself, and dark black hair.

He was the spitting image of Erebus.

Dark power began to gather around him, and all the gods felt the divinity of the man.

Void...

Yes, he was the god of the void, the emptiness of space where nothing existed.

"What...?" Nemesis widened her eyes when she saw her new 'younger brother.'

She wasn't the only one; practically everyone on the side of the Olympians was shocked by the man's existence. The only one not affected was Tartaros, proving that he already knew about the man's existence.

Nemesis, Thanatos, and Hypnos looked at Nyx, and when they saw the lifeless and hateful look on Nyx's face, they understood completely that even Nyx was unaware of this.

"Nyx... Are you alright?"

"... No, I'm not..." Nyx's body trembled. She knew about her husband's betrayal, who had never betrayed her before. That was the reason she separated from him and even distanced herself from her children. It was also the catalyst that led her to seek a new beginning.

Someone connected to a world tree capable of creating a new pantheon.

... But not even in her wildest dreams did she think Erebus would have a child with that primordial goddess from another pantheon! She thought he wouldn't stoop so low as to have children with gods from another pantheon, but she was completely mistaken.

The existence of this man was proof of those words.

"He will pay..." Nyx gritted her teeth as she looked at Erebus with even greater hatred than before.

A dark power, like the starriest nights, gathered around Nyx, and she disappeared from where she was.

Soon, she reappeared beside Victor, her clothing completely changed; she wore a dress resembling the starry night, and in her hands, a black scythe appeared.

Nyx was not just the mother of concealment and the goddess of the night; to a lesser extent, she was also the goddess of death, mystery, and terror, among other things.

There was a reason why even Zeus and Cronos feared her... Because when provoked, she became more vengeful than Gaia herself.

"Oya, Mother. You seem quite irritated."

"Don't call me Mother, you worm. You're nothing to me."

Nocturnus was slightly taken aback by Nyx's words, but he soon smiled, "Of course not. My mother is someone else, not a vengeful bitch like you."

These words only made Nyx's eyes shine even more dangerously.

"Nocturnus, stop talking nonsense."

"Tsk, stop being so tense, Father. With my uncle here and me, we won't lose. It's a shame Zeus and Cronos died, but who cares about them?" Nocturnus spoke disdainfully.

"Hmm." It was just a simple sound as if someone was thinking.

But that was enough to attract everyone's attention to the man.

Even though he stood there and observed everything, unconsciously, the senses of all beings present here were glued to Victor. After the previous display, everyone placed him in a level of danger that would make all their senses focus on him, whether they wanted to or not.

Victor pulled Nyx's waist closer to him and moved her away from in front of him.

"Huh?" She was slightly surprised by this action, but she soon understood why he did it.

Victor pointed his finger at the beings of Olympus, and a water sphere started to form on his fingertip. The water began to spin at high speed, and then it turned completely red, like the blood under Victor.

'So much energy!' Nyx opened her eyes wide.

The next moment, Victor spoke:

"Hydrogen bomb." As he spoke those words, the blood sphere exploded, turning into an even larger sphere, causing everyone to open their eyes wide in shock at the amount of energy in that sphere.

Nocturnus felt a sudden panic when he heard what Victor said, so he quickly moved from his position and appeared in front of the territory of Mount Olympus.

"Black Hole." A singularity appeared in front of Nocturnus, and the next moment, all of Victor's attack was sucked into that singularity.

Everything happened so fast that most of the gods were left motionless in the face of the events.

"Interesting... So that's how the void works, and to think that a being can create the most powerful singularity in the universe so casually. Who is your mother, boy?"

"... You're crazy, Demon King. Are you planning to kill yourself along with all of us here?" Nocturnus could see that the attack clearly had the potential to cause unimaginable destruction. The amount of energy contained in that attack was enough to explode the pantheon twice over, and that was because of the essence of the soul that Victor put into that attack.

"It's funny that you think I haven't taken precautions for this possible occasion." Victor released Nyx and started floating back and forth in the air while placing his hand on his chin.

"You didn't answer my question, Boy."

"Who is your mother?"

"I'm not a boy! And my mother doesn't matter."

"Hmm, so you don't know."

Nocturnus opened his eyes wide.

"You're wondering how I know that, huh. Interesting... Very interesting indeed." Victor's eyes glimmered with endless amusement as if he were looking at an extremely unique specimen.

"Nocturnus! Stop talking with this demon!" Erebus ordered coldly as darkness descended on Mount Olympus.

"Erebus, you're quite a determined bastard; I admire that. And to think you would go ahead with this plan."

Erebus shuddered when he heard Victor's tone. He looked at Victor and saw the look of amusement on the man's face. It was evident that Victor had discovered something.

"Demon King... How do you know this?"

"My predecessor was a very paranoid man and wanted to know everything about everyone. Erebus's betrayal of his beloved wife, Nyx?"

Nyx shuddered when she heard Victor's voice. She gritted her teeth in hatred.

Victor ignored this and continued speaking, "He wanted to know everything about it and wouldn't be satisfied until he found out everything. After all, first-generation primordial gods don't change so easily. Something must have happened that made Erebus act so irregularly."

"It took a while, but he found out... Turns out, it wasn't just him trying to disrupt the balance, huh."

"Shut up, Demon King."

"... What do you mean, Victor?" Nyx asked.

"It's simple, Nyx. While Diablo was trying to disrupt the balance artificially, Erebus tried to disrupt it naturally by lying with a primordial goddess with the opposite concept to his, a goddess from the other side of the balance."

"The result of that union is right in front of you, a being who was not born with any negative or positive aspect."

"A neutral being, a being of the void." Victor smiled.

Everyone opened their eyes wide when they heard Victor's words. He was revealing secrets that Erebus thought no one would know except for those in his inner circle.

"The balance works in mysterious ways. Although he couldn't disrupt the balance naturally, he created a being with the potential to become a primordial entity."

"The Primordial responsible for the void of existence." Victor pointed at Nocturnus.

Erebus narrowed his eyes; he completely underestimated this part of Victor... In fact, he completely underestimated Diablo as a whole. And to think, that cunning demon knew about his moves.

"Although... Having potential doesn't mean you will achieve it. After all, even the most brilliant gods in existence still take a long time and train hard to break the barrier and become their own concept. That's an accomplishment that no one has achieved so far."

"Although there are beings that are close to achieving it." Victor thought of Kali, a goddess who was very close to breaking that barrier and becoming the concept of destruction, thus becoming a primordial being.

Nocturnus narrowed his eyes at his father with visible annoyance. It was clear that he knew nothing about this. Knowing that his existence was just an experiment left him quite disoriented.

He thought that when he revealed his existence, everyone would be shocked and act deferentially toward him. He was imagining himself as a protagonist of an anime where everyone would start to fear or flatter him.

But just a few minutes after his existence was revealed, Victor revealed his existence just by speaking, indicating that he wasn't a second-generation primordial god, a being with the rare concept of void. He was just a failed experiment of his father.

Looking at his son's state of mind, Erebus thought that this demon was truly despicable. He did nothing, just spoke, and with those words completely shook the core of his son.

"That's it. You need to die, Demon King."

"Nocturnus, do your job."

"... Fine."

Darkness appeared next to Victor and struck him in the face.

Victor blinked his eyes, slightly surprised; he didn't expect this sudden attack. He narrowed his eyes as he saw Nocturnus and Erebus's energies combining to attack him.

"Attacking me through the Void, huh." Another punch emerged from the darkness and hit him in the stomach, sending him flying.

"Victor!" Nyx, Scathach, Morgana, Aphrodite, Kaguya, and the Maids shouted when they saw this scene.

Victor couldn't react. He couldn't; this attack literally appeared in front of him from nowhere. It's like teleportation, but at the same time not. The concept of space doesn't exist in the void, meaning he's being hit and can't do anything about it.

"Tartaros, let's go."

"Yes."

Tartaros appeared behind Victor and tried to strike him. He simply couldn't react to the combination of father and son… but, Tartaros? He was too slow.

Rumble, Rumble.

Victor dodged Tartaros's attack and hit him in the face. As he was about to continue his attack, Tartaros's children attacked him, throwing several arms at him.

Victor narrowed his eyes as time around him began to slow down, and he pointed his palm at the monsters. Rapidly a water sphere similar to the previous one he threw appeared in his hand.

However, the moment the sphere appeared, it disappeared through a singularity.

"Oh?" He looked at the father and son duo and saw that even at this slow speed, they could still react.

"They're ignoring the concept of time, huh..." The Void was definitely a broken divinity.

Suddenly, the 'time' around Victor simply stopped slowing down and returned to normal.

Soon, hundreds of arms began to attack Victor's body.

Rumbles occurred all around him as the entire ground was being destroyed by the ruthless attack of the arms.

[Darling, the concept of the void is nullifying your speed; you need to think of another way.]

"If my speed doesn't work, then..." Victor's eyes shimmered in violet.

"I don't need to dodge anymore." Negative energy exploded from his body, and with a punch, all the arms of the Hecatonchires disappeared from existence, along with the clouds in the sky.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Victor stood up from the ground completely unharmed, except for... a drop of blood from his nose.

Victor wiped his nose and said, "Four primordial gods' attacks just to make my nose bleed." He looked at all the gods present.

"Pathetic, and you call yourselves superior beings?"

Veins popped on Erebus, Nocturnus, and Tartaros's heads; this man really knew how to be irritating.

"Kill him-!" Erebus ordered as he, Tartaros, and his son engaged in a three-way battle with Victor.

Victor smiled widely and entered into a confrontation with the three gods.
