Chapter XV - Raging Storm
-Olympus – Zeus's Temple
"WHAT DO YOU SAY, ARES? WHAT DID HERA DO? TELL ME!" Zeus shouted with all his might, waking up the sleeping Goddess by his side and scaring her away. Blue lightning could be seen surrounding his muscular body. Gray clouds began surrounding the world as Zeus released his power consecutively with his anger.
How could she do that? Hera! She had betrayed him yet again. And this time, she had targeted his weapon, HIS Master Bolt! Truly, a brilliance woman, stealing away his power and strike him before he knew it.
Last time, he had spared her, thinking that she would learn from her failure and faithfully served him, but, it seemed that keeping a scary woman like Hera by his side was a bad decision. This the second time now and Zeus swore that she wouldn't have the chance to do that ever again.
Just like last time, he didn't know anything about it until the last moment when a faithful servant told him about Hera's attempt to dethrone him. Luckily, this time, his loved son had found out about this before that accursed woman had the chance to attack him.
What a good son he is, saving his father from his unfaithful mother.
"I said that Mother is cheating on you, dear father. She had stolen the Master Bolt and gave it to him just to get his attention." Ares said calmly, faking sad for a moment. This was so good. He couldn't believe that all of this was happening. Originally, his plan was to keep the Master Bolt for himself, then telling Zeus that Naruto was the one to steal it during the Winter Solstice with the help of his mother - Hecate.
But, just like whatever higher being was helping him, Ares had found out about Hera's relationship with that Demigod by pure accident. Of course, he wasn't very sure about it, but, as long as Zeus loved him, as long as Zeus believed in him, whatever he said would be true.
Who is he? He is Zeus's favorite son.
"Curse you! HERA!" The winds became more and more furious as the world was experiencing one of its greatest disasters caused by the hands Zeus. All around the world, peoples were going into hiding or doing whatever they could to live through this disaster.
The others Pantheon were also doing their best to help their faithful followers.
-Shinto Pantheon
"Emergency situation! Every gods and goddess are to prepare to scatter around Japan immediately!" A little girl wearing a golden Kimono shouted as she swatted away a lightning strike that was about to hit her. She has raven black hair donned in twin ponytail style and matching round eyes. With all the seriousness she had, the girl ordered others Gods and Goddesses around to fend off the upcoming disaster.
It happened so fast that even she couldn't do anything about it until it was already too late. But, at least, she could reduce the damage.
"Raijin! Fuujin! Try your best to weaken the storm! Don't let it hit here full force!"
"Suijin! Owatatsumi! Keep the raging ocean under control! Keep an eye on those tsunamis!"
"Susanoo! Protect the Pantheon!"
"Takemikazuchi! Keep the storm under control if it happened to bypass Raijin and Fuujin!"
"Hachiman! Keep our peoples safe!"
"…We can't interfere too much if it's a natural disaster. But, I can sense Celestial Power in this…." The little girl narrowed her eyes as she thought about the current situation. This might be an attack made by others Pantheon but she believed that she was always on good terms with all others Pantheon.
Olympus might be an exception since their King was very arrogance though…
"Amaterasu-sama, there is no enemy around our territory." A Goddess said, appearing all of a sudden with a bag on her shoulder. The little girl named Amaterasu turned around and smiled at her fellow Goddess.
"Thanks for your hard work, Omoikane. Then this must be some stupid god who thought releasing so much power would be a good idea." Amaterasu said with a low chuckle, scaring Omoikane away as a dark aura surrounded The Primary God of The Shinto Pantheon.
"I swear I will make the guy suffer before killing him in the worst way possible…" Amaterasu's eyes became dull as she chuckled darkly…
"You are going out of control, Nee-sama." A man said boringly as he punched the Goddess of Sun on the back of her head, knocking her out of her dark thought in an instant.
"It's hurt! Susanoo!" Amaterasu pouted at her little brother who was a lot taller than her. Shoulder length dark blue hair that touch his back and black eyes like his sister, he wore a blue yukata that was worn so that his arm only goes through the left sleeve and the right half was dropped over his red obi. He wore nothing underneath, exposing his muscular right upper half of his body to the world.
He carried on his should a large sword that was as large as himself and had magatama patterns on it. Using a bit of his power, the man called Susanoo focused, his eyes lit up and immediately, the sound of lightning striking around the Shinto Pantheon stopped.
"If I didn't hit you, you would keep cursing that unknown guy for who know how long, Nee-sama." Susanoo said in a lazy tone. Amaterasu crossed her arms with a smirk on face as she stared… down? Up? her brother.
"You think so little of me, Susanoo. You think one as elegant and noble as me would do that?"
"Yes, I do think so… You are just a child after all, Nee-sama…" Susanoo said in that same lazy, uncaring tone again while looking at Amaterasu's almost non existence chest impassively. Following his gaze with a curious look on her face, The God of Sun blushed like a tomato and slapped Susanoo.
"DON'T JUDGE BASED ON MY CHEST! BAKA!" Amaterasu shouted out and ran away, crying out loud about how unfair the world is.
Still with an impassive look on his face, Susano yawned and sat down.
"…The sun is supposed to be bright and cheerful. Just remain that way, Nee-sama… Leave the rest to me."
-Olympus – Zeus's Temple
The entire Olympus was shaking as if it was responding to Zeus's rage at the moment. Every living creature on Olympus had already left to hiding including Immortals.
In the temple of the mighty Emperor of The Sky, God of Storm, Zeus, two individual were talking to each others, one with a pure rage expression on his face while the other was calm but had a suspicious smile on his face.
A bead of sweat appeared on Ares's forehead as he stood before the enraged Zeus. Even if he wasn't directing his Killing Intent and Celestial Power at him, Ares still felt intimated by it since he was standing pretty close.
But he had nothing to fear about Zeus, the stupid guy had become his most trustworthy ally…
Zeus would kill that damned Uzumaki Naruto for sure and as for Hera, he didn't do what his father would do with that woman. Sure she is beautiful and all, but she is also brilliance and dangerous. Based on Zeus's rage at the moment, he guessed his father would make that woman fade away.
"What will you do now, Father? Whatever you do, I will follow you." Ares said as he bowed down to the enraged Zeus. The God of Storm stood still for a moment before forming a lightning spear in his hand and pointed it at Ares. The action surprised The God of War for a moment, but he still kept his calm.
"…Are you loyal to me, Ares?" Zeus asked seriously, already prepared to kill Ares if his answer displeased him. Ares smirked, but his face was facing the ground so it went unnoticed by his father.
'So this is your question, Zeus… How foolish… Guess I have to stay 'loyal' to him for now. But soon, our positions will be reversed…'
"Of course, I'm loyal to you, Father. I'm not stupid enough to fight against your absolute power." Ares said and Zeus thrown the lightning spear away.
"I will descend and kill that puny mortal, punish that unfaithful woman and reclaim my Master Bolt." Zeus said and teleported away to prepare for the battle. Ares followed after him after a moment, a sadistic smirk on his face.
-New York – Ichiraku Ramen – 3 minutes ago
Hera stood in front of the humble ramen stand of her object of affection, gazing at the stormy gray sky while thinking about the situation at hand. The sky was clear and peaceful just a moment ago, and now, it was all stormy. She could sense Celestial Power in the wind, the rain and the occasional lightning striking here and there.
This must be Zeus's work.
Hera didn't know what was going but, still, prepared for the worst, she equipped herself with her battle outfit and released half of her Godly power. Naruto's personal servant Elish was also standing with her.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Elish…" Hera said calmly as she prepared herself when she saw a lightning struck in front of her and Elish. Dusts clouded their vision for a moment but soon enough, the shadow of someone could be seen.
Thanks to instinct honed over the years and her well prepared mental that Hera was able to block a lightning thrust aimed at her stomach by summoning her sword. The big sword easily blocked the thrust but the power behind it still blown away The Goddess of Marriage.
Blown through Ichiraku Ramen, some trees and finally stopped before the condensed wall of Naruto's neighbor, Hera stabbed her sword to the ground and leaned onto it. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she used her Celestial Power to quickly heal her injuries.
Wiping the small streak of blood on her face, Hera stood up and pick up her sword. It is a big double-edge sword with a golden handle that is obviously made with gold and a big ruby embedded onto it. Some ancient words could be seen sculpted on the sword as if it is some kind of spell.
Without knowing the reason she had to face Zeus, Hera released her full power since she would die if she didn't. Red markings appeared on her body like war paints and tattoo, her sword also glowed, lighting up the sculpted words.
"Time for the battle of my life…" Hera mumbled as she dashed toward the battlefield of her life. The fire of determination burnt brightly in her eyes…
-Ichiraku Ramen
The place was completely destroyed as Zeus and Hera clashed together. One wielding a Sacred Sword which is indestructible and one wielding a blue spear crafted with lightning.
Twirling his spear to deflect the magical bullets fired his way by Elish, Zeus shot a lightning bolt back at her, making the unicorn turned human stop her assault to avoid it. Seeing the small opening, Hera moved behind The Mighty God of Storm and slashed him with all her strength.
Already infused his body with lightning, Zeus reacted with extreme speed and moved forward, barely avoided the attack. But, as the former Goddess of Battle and the strongest goddess of Olympus, Hera's attack created a shockwave that hit Zeus directly on the back. The force behind the shockwave was enough to send the mighty god flying through a building near that.
"Flash Kill" Hera whispered and disappeared from view only to reappear before a still flying Zeus with her sword ready to impale The Mighty God of Storm.
Physical wise, Hera was league above Zeus, but speed wise, Zeus left her behind a long way.
Leaving after image in his way, The King of Olympus avoided the attack and countered with a lightning infused punch to Hera's stomach.
"Why are you attacking me, Zeus?" The Goddess of Marriage asked as she nursed her wound, making it faded away in an instant. Standing opposite of her was Zeus, who was also nursing his injuries. The God of Storm glared at Hera for the question and shot her a lightning bolt which the goddess easily swatted it away with her sword.
"You already know the reasons, Hera. You betray me to go out with that puny mortal!"
On the outside, Hera showed no reaction to that but in truth, The Goddess of Marriage felt… nervous. So that's the reasons Zeus attacked her. If he had already known about her relationship with Naruto, there's no point in hiding it from anymore.
"That's right, Zeus. I'm in love with Uzumaki Naruto. But! There is one thing that you need to understand…" Hera smiled a bit at the mention of the God Slayer, but quickly returned to her usual self. Zeus was also paying his full attention to The Goddess of Marriage as he listened to her answer.
"…From the beginning, I have never been loyal to you. So you said that I betrayed you… That's a mistaken, Zeus." With that said, Hera readied herself again, knowing that the real battle would just begin. Would she be able to fend off Zeus? Or would she be captured again and faced punishment?
There were many thoughts in Hera's mind at the moment, but she calmed herself down quickly with a deep breath. There is no point in worrying about the future now.
All she could do at the moment was to concentrate on the current matter and did her best. There would be no future for her if she lost this battle.
