Chapter 324: Day into... Night?
"It can't be touched and can't be felt. It can't be seen, or heard, or smelt. It lies beneath stars and under hills, and any empty holes it fills. It comes early, and follows after, ends life and kills laughter. What am I?"
Blood-Arrow repeated the Riddle, walking back and forth. Not only her, everyone was using their brains in overdrive, moving from one place to another.
"Hmm... Why isn't there any timer?" Supreme asked after five whole minutes had past, and more than half of them have given the wrong answer, even Red-Encounter yelled "Death" but nothing happened.
CLICK!!!
Leo looked down, and his face turned paled... The ones sitting on the ground quickly stood up in shock.
Leo: "Because the Timer is right below us."
Everyone's faces turned paled, seeing water raising from the ground. The water wasn't the cause of their paled expression, It was the green grotesque creature they could see through the holes, which was moving around with incredible speed.
"We either solve this riddle, or get eaten by that thing beneath us!" Chen said. Without hesitation, he started yelling countless words, Hoping it's the right one.
"Stop shouting!!!" Leo yelled at him.
Chen closed his mouth, but kept cussing under his breath. "If it hadn't been for Potentate, I would have been In the base."
Potentate glared at him, while he blew her a kiss.
"I think I got something."
Everyone turned their heads to Scarlett, who quickly opened her mouth. "We need to get off the ground, our pressure is making the water rise up."
Everyone stared at her with a dumb expression.
"What?!" She asked.
"We thought you have the answer to the Riddle!" Zuko said in frustration.
Supreme sighed; "I wonder how the rest are doing."
______
[Celestial Base.]
Dark-Angel, White-Death, and the elders all stood on the wall, staring at the flat landscape in front of them.
"It has been more than an hour, are you sure they're ok?" Dark-Angel asked with a worried expression.
"I don't know, Mira... But you know how powerful Michael and the others are, right? So nothing can happen to them." White-Death said.
"Yeah."
"Please, You guys should come inside and rest, You have been standing here for more than an hour now."
Maxim pleaded, staring at the girls.
"No, We'll tell you for the fifth time, we aren't leaving here until our family return." Dark-Angel wasn't budging.
Maxim helplessly turned to Drakon, who stood beside the two.
"Let them be."
Maxim sighed hearing him, before he could leave, White-Death exclaimed.
"Have you contact the guards station at the bridge?!!"
Now Maxim was confused. Seeing all eyes were now on him, he shook his head: "No, Is something wrong?"
White-Death moved her gaze around, and quickly said: "Try and contact them... Now!!!"
Maxim was taken aback by her scream, he quickly brought out the walkie-talkie in his pocket, and tapped some keys, then listened.
Zzzzzzz!!
Only the sound of a disconnected frequency could be heard all over the place.
"They're Back, the Lord is back!!"
A fighter yelled in Joy, pointing at the Cars driving towards them.
"Something isn't right, those aren't the Cars they used when going." Drakon muttered.
White-Death's eyes turned white, the moment she saw the forces behind the cars, she yelled.
"Drakon! Destroy those Vehicles!!!"
"What?!" Maxim yelled in shock.
Drakon stretched forth his hand towards the moving vehicles, and activated [Cosmic Annihilation]
"Don't!! Do you want to kill them?!!" Maxim yelled in Horror.
Countless elements appeared around the cars driving towards them, the next moment, they all contract, and with a mushroom cloud; a huge explosion sounded, destroying all the vehicles, which were 700 meters away.
"Huh?"
The horrified fighters watched in Horror as the illusion in front of them shattered, and an unknown number of Monsters, Infested, and Abomination slowly walked towards the Base.
**Wow!! Such a good skill...**
Apate who stood on a ten meters tall Minotaur, said, her voice reverberating all over the Base.
"It can't be... Does that mean, Brother?"
Dark-Angel's face instantly turned paled.
**Don't be surprise, Your leaders are all Dead!**
Apate's voice sounded.
"Impossible, If Michael dies I'll feel it, This Bitch is lying! Trying to reduce our fighting Spirit."
"Yes! Drakon is right! There's no way Supreme would go down!!"
The elders all yelled.
Apate shrugged, and with a wave of her hand, Michael's and Leo's heads fell in front of Dark-Angel and the fighters.
"This...?"
They were all stunned.
**Look familiar? Sorry that I can't get their bodies, my children devoured them before I can get the chan--**
"SHUT UP!!!!"
Dark-Angel's voice reverberated all over the place, shocking Apate, the elders and the fighters.
"MY BROTHER WILL NEVER LEAVE ME!!"
BOOM!!!
Like in sync with her violent emotions, a black Lightning tore open the sky. Dark clouds covered the sun, plunging everything into darkness.
**Impossible, This little girl is my Mum's successor?!** Apate was shocked.
Dark-Angel ascends into the air, her eyes pure red... Red Mana wave started emanating from her body, destroying everything it touches.
"Mira?"
White-Death and the elders were stunned, staring at Dark-Angel who was still ascending.
"I'll make you pay for killing my brother!!!!"
BOOM!!!!
Countless dark lightning fell on the horde of Monsters, turning anyone it touched into ashes.
Apate quickly leaped off the Minotaur, as two powerful lightning struck the monster, killing it instantly.
**Fuck! I know my Mother's powers have an evil side, but who'll think it's this powerful?! Did I make a mistake angering them? For Goodness's sake! Those aren't even their heads.** Apate thought, landing on her feet.
**But.... The gods will give their blessings in a week time, why could she use my Mum's Powers? Or has Mum already given this girl hers?**
BOOM!!!
Apate looked up at Dark-Angel who was hovering above the cloud, red Lightning appearing from time to time.
**Her Brother is already a pain in the ass, and now his sister has joined! Why is it so hard to destroy this base?!**
Her eyes widened as the space behind Dark-Angel tore opened, and three huge snakes came out... Two slithered to the ground, killing her army like weeds... But her gaze was fixed on the Python behind Dark-Angel.
The next moment, red smoke covered the two, and was she saw next made her speechless... Dark-Angel, who now has the upper body of a human, and lower body of a snake, shot towards her.
**Show respect!!**
Apate drew her swords, and shot towards Dark-Angel, clashing with her.
[On the wall.]
Drakon picked up the heads, seeing the faces, he shook his head. "These aren't Michael's and Leo's heads." He showed the heads to everyone.
"Mira didn't even look at the heads and entered a frenzy state... We must help her, or else, she'll get herself hurt."
White-Death summoned and pet, and flew into the air, while Drakon looked at the night sky in confusion.
"Turning day into night, what an awesome skill."
He took his dragon form, and followed behind White-Death.
"Attack!!!"
Shadow, and Maxim yelled in unison, giving the command.
