Suddenly in front of my eyes the heavens shattered and endless hordes of Abyss Creatures poured across our universe, the Minor Gods took the lead with the Demigods close behind, those who did not reach Godhood would not dare enter that field battle and chose to stay on land.

The heavens were in flames, between the earth and the rift of the Abyss that replaced the heavens a layer of pure annihilation had formed, powers capable of redefining world maps are being used in sequence creating the most destructive image I have ever seen if you don't count the Hell.

Pieces of bodies and black dust fell onto the world as Creatures from the Endless Abyss washed ashore, but compared to those being annihilated above that number is not even half as large.

As the seconds passed, the smell of blood intensified, in my eyes only destruction existed, in my ears screams of fury filled with murderous intent, and in my mind only one question.

Why am I standing still?

Every part of my body wanted to move, but I knew it wasn't the time, my strength alone wouldn't make a difference in a battle of this magnitude and the Gods seem to have their own plans.

I can't understand why they aren't acting yet, but clearly, they were preparing for this or something similar, that's the only thing that makes any sense after everything I've seen so far.

This whole tournament was just a test and some kind of training before the main event, I don't know the reason for all this exactly and I honestly don't want to know, but seeing such a battle and setting it aside is very frustrating.

"Why not act now!?"(I)

"(Why they all need to understand, the despair, the pain, the frustration and the consequences of neglect.)" (Goddess Selene)

"..." (I)

I heard something I didn't want to hear, it basically confirmed my thoughts, this was planned, a kind of Divine level reality check, I don't know whether to be shocked or terrified at how far the Gods are taking this.

"This has gone far enough, we don't want any casualties."(Rosane)

"Please, my lady, help..." (Vanessa)

Suddenly everyone appears near me before scattering into the surroundings fighting while Vanessa looks at me in amazement before kneeling down, from her words she must have noticed my mother's presence.

"Vanessa and Rosane are right, no matter what you want to achieve with this, it's already gone too far."(I)

"(You don't understand, but you will understand one day, we are doing this for them, but a few minutes must have been enough.)" (Goddess Selene)

"(Accept my Divinity and let it flow with yours.)" (Goddess Selene)Suddenly I felt a great power flow from somewhere to me, this power went through my soul to enter my body, and my Blood Transmutation Essence becomes active, I feel the instinct to reject this energy, but I don't have time for it If the flow of this power stops, my body will not support it.

As I fight each of my instincts, this Divine power courses through my body through my veins, my own Blood Transmutation Essence acting in conjunction with this Divine power that finally reaches my hands.

"(May the Sun and Moon form a cycle.)" (Goddess Selene)

Her will whispering in my mind as my Divine Weapon leaves my hands and spins above my head, the Divine power of the Blood Goddess flows from my body like blood before entering the Sun and Moon.

From this power, two others arise using Divine Power as a path through which these two new powers flow into the Purple Sun and the Broken Moon.

These two powers were already well known to me, being the power of Life and Death, I don't feel any of the Gods nearby, but this power can only come from them.

"(Join me my son.)" (Goddess Selene)

Suddenly my vision went out, my consciousness was pulled into a garden where 2 women and an elderly woman were.

Just by feeling their presence I know that the old woman is the Demonic Goddess of Death, the other woman was the Goddess of Life, they both wore scarves to hide their faces, and the last woman was the Goddess of Blood, my mother.

"Where I am?"(I)

Pov Athena's:lights

When we reached Zenos, he was motionless, but there was a presence around him that wouldn't let any of us get closer, a presence that I recognized as belonging to the Goddess of Blood.

I look at the others with a nod, everyone is already used to what comes next, Veronica and Loki stay behind supporting those who will take the front line.

The enemies are many, I didn't expect to see so many Creatures from the Abyss, but it's not like it would be impossible to deal with them, they are weak against the Holy power that we can all use.

Even though there are many, we have Gods and Demigods on our side, and more than half of them are dying before reaching the ground, thanks to this I can take my sword to secure the area around Zenos together with everyone or that's what I wanted.

Suddenly Zenos' eyes began to glow as a stream of red energy could be seen on his scales before 2 other streams of energy joined the first energy.The Purple Sun and the broken Moon were rising above his head, while 3 rings of energy formed between them, each of these rings had a color being red, black, and gold.

Zenos' body grew and changed like when he activates his Divine Incarnation, his Dragon features being more prominent as his presence grows more imposing, the Sun and Moon above his head were now no longer rotating, they were rising high up as he grows each more and more.magic

All the Creatures of the Abyss in the path were burned by tendrils of purple fire from the Sun or devoured by silver monsters that emerge from the floating islands around the shattered Moon.

Just when I thought they would stop, the Sun and Moon accelerate until they collide with the ever-widening rift in the sky, a silvery light covered the entire sky as the broken fragments of the sky return to their place as if time was going backwards, then Purple Fire spreads from the Sun across the sky as if fusing the fragments together.

When the sky came back it revealed an illusory image of a spider web in the sky, the original Moon and Sun of this place were in pieces floating in the sky, but that was not an end.

The number of enemies was still a lot when Zenos clapped his hands making the 3 rings of different colors still with him shine even brighter, the 3 rings rotate forming a sphere that starts to burn with Starfire, but this sphere was pulsing like a heart.

"< Blessing of the Eclipse Flame >" (Zenos?)

His voice sounded like 4 voices in sync speaking and suddenly the pulsing sphere exploded releasing a wave of energy that seemed to silence the world for a thousandth of a second, then Starfire began to surge in all directions on everyone's weapons.

When I looked at my hands, the swords in my hands had the blades covered in Starfire.

"(The energy consumption seems higher, but...)" (I)

The entire time I wasn't just keeping an eye on Zenos, I was also in the thick of combat taking small opportunities to understand the bigger picture of this battle.

For the next few minutes, the fight became very intense, without the infinite number of Abyss Creatures emerging now that the rift in the sky was destroyed, we all began to eradicate all the remaining Abyss Creatures without preserving our strength any longer.

I was flying close to the ground, maneuvering between enemies while my blades ripped apart any enemies with weak defenses, which I left to Cintia to deal with.

We each have our role with the faster ones forced into clearing groups of enemies while the stronger ones were in the middle of facing more troublesome enemies.

This continued for almost 30 minutes before the last Creature of the Abyss fell, as everyone paid attention checking the injured and if the space was stable enough for another of these rifts not to open again I ran to Zenos who was unconscious in Alice's arms.

He fell unconscious a few moments after the last enemy was defeated, everyone was around him to protect him until he woke up.

"Everyone is well?"(I)

"Yes, none of us were in danger."(Veronica)

"What was that about him before?"(I)

"He blessed everyone's weapons, it granted the power of chaos to everyone temporarily with this, it was thanks to this that we got this far without losing anyone."(Veronica)

"..." (I)

I also realized that using Starfire was more effective than just Holy Power, Starfire didn't just burn them, their bodies were destroyed and converted directly into energy then released into the environment.

"He saved everyone now, let's see what else we have to do."(I)
