Lord Shadow

Chapter 1843  Wisdom Fights

Artemis and Apollo is in Atlantis. Apollo is being tended, preserving a flicker of flame of the Sun

Artemis on the other hand is scouring the entire Atlantis to seek her Uncle. Right now, as the Olympians galaxy is being besieged by two great divine civilization, two of the most powerful Elder Gods seems to be missing

Some heroes and champion of the Gods tries to enter the Underworld to have an audience with the Lord of the Dead, but even before they could meet Charon, all of the portals leading to the Underworld is shut tight

The Underworld is closing its doors and no one knows why

While all of this is happening, the heavens and the mortal realms is still engaged in a clash of divine force

The forces of the Olympians and the Eternal Horizon pantheon erupt into a war that has never seen before

It is like the Gigantomachy or the Titan War. One would argue it is even worse

Gods and goddesses from both sides engage in titanic confrontation, with devastating consequences, each wielding their unique powers to kill each other.

There is a desert planet.

This desert planet is a wasteland.

It is full of sand.

And if one could dig deep under the sand, one would find that this place used to be a fertile land with water

But now, it is full of sands and there is no living creature. Probably millions or trillions of years ago, there is a thriving mortal civilization here.

They might have escaped this planet before this planet collapse into death, or they might have destroyed each other and leaving this planet into a barren desert.

The only one who would know of this would be the gods in Olympus.

And there is storms that keeps raging here.

There is water but the water is not as numerous as the sand and not as powerful as the sand

A desert world.

An abandoned planet full of storms

It is not a place for someone to try to live.

But it is a perfect place to fight.

Right now, this world is on the verge of collapsing into itself.

But it is a perfect place to fight.

Right now, this world is on the verge of collapsing into itself.

Because there is Ares and Set fighting each other here.

And with these two deities fighting here, the storms is bigger, the sand is scattered all around revealing the lost history of this world

But with the two of these deities fighting here, these world would surely lost all of its history.

Because the power of these two deities is climbing higher and higher, and whoever wins, the ending of this planet is doomed.

Ares roars into battle clad in blood red armour, his spear and shield glowing with reddish aura.

Killing intent surged from him that splits the sky.

There is chaos everywhere in this barren planet, a chaos he created and thrives in. His every strike, shatters the earth and ignite the skies with fire.

Set on the other hand summons the storms and counters Ares attack with wild unrelenting strikes.

Wielding a flail crackling with the power of storms, he conjures fierce tempest that hinder and attack Ares.

The battlefield between them turns into a storm that envelope the whole desert planet. Their clash itself is very primal. They embody war and chaos.

The storms howls with Set wrath while Ares charges through any spell and magic that Set thrown on him like an unstoppable force, his war cry echoing across the land

All the while the world around them is cracking. The world is collapsing at the edges. The mountains crumbles, the core of the world is collapsing onto itself

And when these two gods of chaotic storms clash their fist, a powerful explosion rocked the entire Olympian Star System

The planet that they are on exploded into tiny pieces before swallowed by the destructive force of these two gods, causing the entire being of that planet to be pulverized into nothingness

Ares has a hole in his chest, Set has the right half of his body disintegrated.

But these two are far from being defeated. Instead, they keep fighting among the wreckage of stars and suns around them

There is another planet.

This is far from Olympus.

Far from the cluster of the galaxy where Ares and Set is fighting on. It is a large world.

And there is a mountain range so large and big it would take tens of thousands of years just to walk through it all for a normal mortal.

It separates the civilized world and a chaotic monstrous beings on the other side.

And on this holy mountain ranges that act as a barrier to all the evil and dark things, there is a gigantic temple.

There is usually maidens here singing the praise to their deities. However, today, all the priest and the maidens of the Temple had gone away.

This is the Temple of Athena

And this world in particular is called Athenia. It is Athena planet

It is one of the jewels planet of the Olympian galaxy. It has high level of living, an educated populace and one of the richest among all the other twelve major planet nearest to Olympus

But now all of that has been destroyed. The cities, the civilization, the peace

The gods fights and the mortals suffers.

Even champions of the gods could not stop this. Because Olympus did not allow anyone to reach their godhood.

In other worlds, even when the gods of their world is fighting, the mortal heroes could fight and ward off gods and demons.

In Olympus, there is no one to rely on other than Olympians.

The soul of the dead fills the entire Olympus Galaxy right now. And the only one that sis strengthened by this is only one god

The god that did not appear when Olympus is in it direst state.

Athena the patron goddess of this planet is now battling Thoth. It is a battle that is well matched

Athena and Thoth at first battle in verbal magic. Thye both are master at using Word magic

They uses all kinds of tricks and all kinds of Word Magic.

When they speak, the world around them changes to suit the meaning of the Words.

The sea around the mountain range rose to the sky, the mountains turns into spears and the result of their battle using words was the complete annihilation of thousands of cities and tens of thousands of villages.

This is the kind of catastrophe that brings down civilization. This is the kind of calamity that is called an extinction event

The people of this world could only suffer. And when they look up they see these two titanic beings fighting, while the world around them crumbling

And it is the last thing they see before they die.

The world that they are in, is now experiencing a Great Flood

Both of them were surprised that when they fight with Words, they are both equal. Since that is the case, they use force. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Athena summons her weapon.

Athena wield a blue spear and an Aegis shield.

When she attacks, she did not attack carelessly.

Instead, she attacks with precision and always trying to predict her opponent moves before they make it.

Each of her strike rips apart the space they are in. Her strikes are also fast, hidden moves shrouded among tens of thousands of strikes

A thorough understanding of weapons. Even if she did not use a spear and instead uses a sword or a dagger, her technique of battle would still be perfect.

When she is in battle, she wears the Aspect of Athena Pallas, the warlike Aspect of Athena

Her attack is hidden below the deepest ground, moving above the highest sky

Alternating endlessly between these two states, confounding anyone that would face her

There is hardness in her attack. There is softness in her attack. At times, fierce. At times, soft.

Hardness and softness, fierce and gentle, changing into each other, and amidst these confusion, the attack that is being hidden would aim for you.

Concealing and revealing, each concealment is a move to reveal, but which strike is concealing the move, which one is the revealing move?

If one is confused, one would be taken advantage of by Athena

But Thoth is no slouch.

She herself while not a goddess of War, she uses her wisdom to see through the attack.

Even though there is no pattern, even randomness has some kind of rule

She could see it and dodges it.

Then at that time, the only thing these deities could do is wait for each other to show an opening or make a mistake

In Olympus, Athena is always associated with wisdom.

And even in a war she is associated with the kind of war which uses intellect, a war wisdom goddess

But Thoth is also a god of wisdom.

And not only that, he is also the god of the moon and of learning

Since Artemis is defeated by Horus, Thoth could now command some Aspect under Artemis domain and she also becomes stronger.
