Chapter 155: 155

This led to the demon now Björn let go of its goal in reforming its original demon body, instead it aimed at what it saw as a better goal which was to transcend to a god. He could feel it building up, his body reconstructing itself the more he battled his two foes. His domain is growing stronger and much more solid.

But it came with a price as this was the first time he extended his field to cover a great distance especially in such a great battlefield, the stronger he got the more he was losing his mind to the madness. The only time clarity appears is when he is greatly wounded and his domains heals him back up to continue his fight which is why he barely can even talk.

Just as they were battling, the battlefield was slowly emptying out with those left being the generals on both sides who were also doing their best to see their opponent’s life ends.

Einar and Helga can be seen on their knees breathing heavily a bit far away from the giant Björn who was also breathing heavily with his jagged teeth exposed.

“We can’t defeat him, he is too strong and killing him seems to be almost impossible when he heals from every damage that we do” Einar said to helga who’s pieces of armor is already falling off, the only complete weapons she has on her were the gauntlets.

“We might have to call upon the power of our goddess if we are to win this battle” Helga said to Einar as she stood up.

“But it hasn’t worked since we reached this realm, we could never call upon her power” Einar answered back.

Helga looked at her husband “That was because she was asleep, now that she is awake it will surely succeed”

Einar was about to answer back when Björn appeared in front of them with his axe ready to fall on him, but Helga once again intercepted it. Einar moved to attack but Björn unexpectedly opened his mouth where a wave of red energy shot out of his mouth.

The surge of crimson energy erupting from Björn’s gaping maw, enveloped him in a swirling vortex of power. Anticipation twisted Einar’s gut as he braced himself for the impending agony, but to his astonishment, the energy coalesced into ethereal chains, binding him tightly to the unforgiving ground.

Not giving Helga and Einar a chance to think, Björn descended upon Helga discarding all his weapons only using his fits to strike upon her. Both began exchanging punches further destroying the background they were also also increasing the distance from where Einar was chained up.

Helga noticed one thing about Björn as they exchanged blows, he was too unpredictable when it comes to fighting, almost like there was no thought behind his actions making him hard to read. What Helga found even harder was how agile and flexible Björn’s huge body was moving.

The both continued exchanging blows, with Helga especially leaving holes on the body of Björn but Björn kept healing up quickly, this continued for a while as the damage began catching up to Helga.

With each passing moment, Helga felt the toll of their clash weighing heavily upon her. Her energy shield still held strong, but her body didn’t, under the relentless barrage of Björn’s assaults. Blood slicked her skin, each blow she parried exacting a heavy toll upon her battered form. Desperation clawed at her heart as she cast a fleeting glance towards Einar, his struggles against his spectral bonds a grim testament to their dire predicament.

Looking at Einar she said “I love you” Before she rushed to Björn who threw out two quick punches that she dodged, going low she went for Björn two kneecaps. Moon energy covered her gauntlets which she sent out two quick heavy blows on each knee causing Björn to fall.

No sound of pain or roar as Björn’s hands reached to grab hold of her but she was agile and with the moonlight clones she generated, she was everywhere. Soon all the bones on Björn’s body were broken by her.

Breathing heavily, she looked at Björn who was writhing on the ground as the red energy around him tried to heal him up. She looked up to one of the moons where she could feel her goddess, she for some reason knew that her goddess was watching her so she closed her eyes connecting to the lunar moon.

Like a gate was opened, a huge silver light came from her as it shot up to the sky. Mahu in her realm who has been watching the whole time with rage building inside of her felt the small gate open and with no hesitation she stepped out.

Mahu’s view changed as she appeared in the battlefield, she looked around and Björn who was slowly standing up and the mortals still fighting. She looked down as she raised her hand to see an arm clad in a gauntlet.

A frown appeared on Mahu’s face as she muttered “Weak”, and that is true as Helga body was too weak and damaged, the effect became even more visible as crack started appearing on her body in the physical world.

Mahu could only wave her hand in a slashing form as a half moon energy slash left from Helga figure heading for the revived Björn before his figure was torn into two halves which fell on the battle ground before Helga body dissipated turning into glitter dust and her gauntlets falling to the ground.

Before Björn was torn in half, a flash of reasoning appeared in his eyes and acting fast one of his hands pulled one of his head off throwing it to the side, at the same time one of the hands dug into his heart pulling it out and throwing it to the side.

The half moon energy slash caused by Mahu continued on its part as it tore open the ground they were standing on into two, everything on the path of the energy was torn apart and destroyed. The energy wave continued until it left the sunny part and into the icy snow part, it cleaved a mountain in half before dissipating.

The energy wave from Mahu didn’t only stop at the ground breaking, it caused a cataclysmic chain reaction throughout the entire region. As the ground split apart, it sent shockwaves rippling through the earth, triggering earthquakes of unprecedented magnitude. The tremors spread far and wide, toppling buildings, shattering mountains, and reshaping the landscape in a violent upheaval.

Entire cities on the energy path were swallowed by newly formed chasms, while others were left in ruins from the relentless quaking. The once serene countryside was now a chaotic scene of destruction, with fissures crisscrossing the terrain and swallowing up forests, rivers, and fields.

The slash also damaged Björn’s domain as Einar was freed from the chains holding him, he immediately ran to where his wife figure last was, but the earthquakes didn’t make that easy as he stumbled and fell on his way there.

Meanwhile Mahu opened her eyes once again to see herself back in her realm. She certainly didn’t know how to feel, she finally was allowed into the mortal world but she didn’t even get there with her physical body instead she was summoned unto one of her Believers body which was weak and damaged.

She couldn’t even move much or say anything “I hope that ended the demon” She said as she looked back down into the battlefield when an expression of surprise showed on her face.

She wasn’t the only one surprised, as Ikenga and the other gods who were paying attention to the battle were also surprised “Divinity” Was all they muttered out loud.

The head of Björn who was thrown away began laughing out loud “This is better than i even thought, what better sacrifice than a believer who died in battle with their being of worship possessing them at the moment”

The head opened its mouth and like it had a loudspeaker its voice can be heard across the whole plane catching everyone’s attention “Gather, O essence of chaos untamed, In the crucible of madness, you’re named. From the battlefield’s frenzy, you arise, to claim your throne amidst the skies. In the tempest of war, your power swells, each clash of steel tolls your ascent’s bells. Through blood and strife, you forge your way to godhood’s realm, where powers blend”

“Embrace the madness that fuels your might, And ascend beyond the mortal’s sight. In the crucible of chaos, you’re reborn, To rule as a god, unbound and sworn. Rise now, ascend, with flames aglow, To reign in madness, your kingdom’s flow”

With the chant, on the battlefield where Björn realm was damaged by Mahu began healing up quickly at the same time his body was reforming quickly soon Björn stood in his fullness all healed up in his crimson armor and weapons each held in his hand.

His domain spread across the battlefield began shrinking back with him at the center, soon it shrunk to the size of a head looking like a red crown which merged into Björn’s
