Chapter 899: The Reflector

The gods grinned wide, satisfied smiles stretching across their faces, ava and gunter panicked visibly, audience mostly being happy as the cannon finally launch the attack.

Everything was consumed by a bright white light that swallowed the sky, all sounds stopped existing, as if the world itself had gone silent to watch what came next.

The pillar full of destructive power descended as it shattered the surrounding space, sending tremors through the entire arena, cracks spreading outward like veins.

Of course, the arena wouldn’t be destroyed by an attack even this powerful, its defenses far stronger than they appeared.

It was just to let the higher beings feel the battle better, the illusion of danger sharpened just enough to entertain them.

"Haa it is finally over." The sparrow chuckled, but he didn’t stand up just yet since Vritra’s group still have several lives left to burn through.

’Nonetheless, with 6 attacks like that, they have no chance of survival.’ He thought, almost certain of the outcome.

Evelyn too was anxious, just like the people around her, her fingers tightening without her realizing it.

"Look this Baldy is sweating, he definitely care about his son hahaha." One of the higher being laughed, pointing at the crying monk with open mockery.

"Hmph It is just too hot here." Crying monk said, as he silently chanted a mantra to leave a curse on all those who were laughing at him, his voice barely a whisper beneath his breath.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Before the attack had even struck, the silence was replaced by deafening explosion and finally it reached the group, the noise swallowing everything else.

Vritra took a step forward, he couldn’t think of anyway to avoid or cancel out this attack, his mind racing through every option.

So he decided to use all his power to cancel out as much power as he could, if possible, he will be the only one to die.

’But that’s too wilful, this body can’t handle it.’ He sighed but before he had even activated his abilities.

Something flashed in his eyes as a figure rushed past him, with a clear look of self sacrifice in his eyes, determined and unwavering.

It was Shitless.

Gritting his teeth, Shitless burst forward with all his strength to take on the descending attack, every muscle straining under the effort.

His dark expression was hidden, his head tilted down, with no hesitation in his steps.

"Wait-" Vritra tried to stop him but the attack was already upon them, too fast for words to matter.

But stopping him was also useless as they would all be affected anyway, what does it matter who goes ahead.

This was the second time Shitless had done something similar, last time he almost died while saving Yasmine.

They all felt various emotions in their hearts seeing that, Onest sighed, he wasn’t afraid of death after having already died once.

But he just felt it would be meaningless to jump forward. While Shitless is kind of a brute who thinks later and acts first.

Still, they couldn’t help but smile at his action, if they survive they will get him a cool wig, a small promise made in a desperate moment.

At the last instant, Vritra gathered as much of his mana as possible and created layers upon layers of barriers around them, each one flickering into existence and straining under the pressure.

The others also did the same, even using the various treasures they had, throwing everything into the space between them and the light.

But they cannot completely stop, and most barriers were useless against that, shattering the moment they touched the pillar, one after the other.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Finally the attack struck them, ready to eradicate them completely.

Shitless was the first to be struck, but right then something no one had expected happened, something that left the gods with their mouth hanging wide open.

The vast pillar of destructive force was suddenly attracted towards Shitless’s head as if it was a parabolic mirror, curving unnaturally in midair.

Then a single concentrated and dense laser was shot back towards the ceiling, that seemed even more destructive than before.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Not just the gods, and audience, even Vritra and others were left there standing in a dazed as they watched the whole pillar getting reflected towards the ceiling.

Was this a dream? Were they already dead?

"Uh... Are you all seeing it too?" Diana rubbed her eyes, then looked back as Shitless kept reflecting the dangerous attack, still not quite trusting her own sight.

Wait, they did hear that it was the divine who had made him bald by hitting his head constantly for several years while pretending to be his mother.

So, it wasn’t just to make him hate his family or simply turning him bald, there had been a purpose all along.

His bald actually has such a function? Then why hadn’t it ever worked before?

’The gods had seen most of our abilities and found ways to negate them, so that’s why divine kept it hidden till now?’ Vritra thought, understanding and awe appearing in his eyes.

What a good bald head!

Shitless slowly opened his eyes, wondering if he had died and tilted his head to look up, giving the ones behind him a fright.

As the concentrated laser almost struck them, only barely missing.

"Stop! Don’t move!" Yasmine shouted, to which Shitless froze immediately, not understanding anything.

He only felt a ticklish feeling over his head, harmless and strange against the backdrop of everything happening around him.

As they all understood what had happened, the arrangements left behind by Evelyn and divine amazed them even more.

Vritra looked to the side, his gaze meeting Onest’s in silent understanding.

And then their lips curled into evil grins, the same idea popping in both their minds at the same time.

Without words, they rushed towards their ’Reflector’, as both grasped Shitless from his left and right sides.

"...Huh?" Shitless was then picked up by them, Vritra held his right arm and leg and Onest the left side.

They held their powerful ’Reflector’ high, aiming straight at the gods who still were frozen in stupification.

"Taste this!!" Onest roared, as Shitless’s head was pushed down by them and the ray of destructive energy moved towards the gods in an instant.

CHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR!!

It started tearing through the ground, the various barriers around the gods broke like bubbles, one after another, with barely a sound.

The largest god was the easiest target, before he had the time to react, his body was torn in two by the ’Reflector’!

"W- Wha... Run!!" The sun god finally came to his senses as blood of the biggest god flooded down around them.

Before they were extremely happy since Vritra’s group was the one facing it, now it was them facing it, the tables having turned completely.

Their trump card became their own horror, scaring the shit out of them completely.

Even they can be injured by that attack to the point they would go in slumber and be suppressed, a fate none of them wanted.

So liked scared birds they scattered around, running for their life without any order left among them.

Vritra and Onest laughed while slashing madly towards the gods, the first attack itself was going to continue for nearly a minute.

The smallest, shadow, baby and the sun god were still difficult to be struck, too quick and evasive.

The easier target was the biggest god, the book god and instrument goddess were injured but not too badly.

So they used this chance to completely tore apart the largest god, the gods tried to save him but were scared as the laser was swung towards them.

Vritra quickly used the blood manipulation to pull all parts of the largest god together and vanessa gathered them all and subdued just like the weak old god.

"Damnit damnit, you damn cheaters, fight us fair!" The sun god roared while fleeing quickly, voice cracking with panic.

"Haha Just the crying of an impotent dogs, get your own cheat if you can, who is stopping you." Shitless laughed, while feeling dazed.

"Why are you running away? Stop and face it if you are real men or just announce yourself to be pigs!" Onest too laughed, taunting them further.

They rotated Shitless in different directions, as the biggest god was killed only few seconds were left, so they needed to injure one or two more.

The women standing behind were speechless at first, shaking their hands at the antique of Vritra and Onest.

But then laughed as the all powerful gods ran around in panic, unable to believe their own eyes.

Just as the instrument like goddess was grazed by the laser, the attack finally came to an end.

Vritra sighed heavily, there were still eight gods left, and most were still unharmed.

The concentrated attack had become stronger but the area of effect has reduced greatly, so hitting them was very difficult now.

All gods except the book god relaxed slightly, finally glaring towards their enemies with open hatred.

Vritra and Onest also lowered Shitless to put their powerful ’Reflector’ back on his feat, yet just then they all froze in place.

BOOOOOOOM!

The cloud like cannon didn’t dissipate after the attack, instead it had already launched the 2nd attack.

The book god had set the attacks to be launch consecutively and automatically so Vritra and the rest doesn’t get any time to prepare at all, not even a second of rest.

Yet that too backfired at this moment.

"Time for round 2!" Vritra and Onest held up their weapon again eagerly, grins returning to their faces.
