Pneuma 28: Deicide
Dealing with minor gods is easy now! You either kill them or run from them! My success rate in dealing with them is super low but it’s the thought that counts right? I have only killed 2. Others took too long, were too boring, too strong or had stupid abilities so I had to run to make sure I didn’t go crazy or died.
Talking about dying. I might have to ask Agnis if he still has some dynamo beans. I’m not super low on lives but I did lose some. So just like the big light bitch, these minor gods are super arrogant and have issues sealing the deal.
I was sitting on a big rock in the Cnidaria hills. I could see the Cnidaria forest from here. It wasn’t a desert anymore. What a strange forest.
My intuition hadn’t picked up any minor gods lately. Have they given up? They haven’t caught Agnis yet so they didn’t succeed. Normally this would give me an uncomfortable feeling but I was feeling good about this. They must have given up! Did I scare them off? Probably not. I might be overpowered but I don’t have special skills to scare them off. I wish that the girl of my dreams could see how cool I was now.
I was playing with my spear. Agnis had really outdone himself. This spear could do anything I want it to do. It bended funny but it worked out. It could stretch and shrink in length. I could break the spear into smaller pieces which made it split into sticks on chains. I had so many flexibility with it. It would also return to me when I threw it. Probably because I had lost many spears in the past after throwing them.
My intuition picked something up and I threw my spear behind me.
“What the!” I looked behind me and saw a kid wearing a hoodie and sneakers with a hole in his torso. The hole closed by creating a lot of purple lightning sparks. It matched the description Agnis gave of the Sneaker god. I got up and put my right hand in the air and my spear returned to me.
Hehe, you guys are too noob to land sneak attacks on me.
“I will forgive you. I’ve heard about you, you’re a strong lightning user. I am looking for a guy with black and silver hair, how about it want to team up with me to catch him?”
I slowly got up.
You know. It means a lot if I say this. But you gods are super dumb! Do you know that it’s my friend you’re looking for?
“How about it? I will reward you greatly if you join me. I will even do a good word in for you when we bring him to Biian.”
So many things pissed me off. Did he think I would betray my friends? This is the first time I fought a lightning user in a long time.
I went 6t mode and started up my [Dynamo Clouds].
Agnis is busy so I will kick your ass on his behalf.
I threw my spear at him but it went through him. It left another hole in his torso which closed up. My spear returned and I imbued it with red lightning this time. Sneaker god threw red lightning bolts to block it.
My intuition told me that I just needed to overwhelm him with lightning. I spread out [Lightning glitter] but he flew away.
What is the point of those flashy sneakers if he doesn’t use them? I tried to hit him with more [Lightning Glitter] but he kept evading.
It’s time for my magnetism! I used [Magnet] and the metal in his clothes flew at me, pulling him toward me. I drove the spear, augmented with red lightning, through his shoulder.
“Owowow! You asshole!” He charged up his fist with purple lightning but he was too slow. I used [Raishin Kick] on him. I kept juggling him around and going for his weak spots. My [Dynamo Clouds] generated more and more energy and I was attacking him with black lightning. Everything turned orange all of a sudden.
Huh? I don’t remember dropping my lightning to orange .
I was surrounded in an orange aura but my lightning was still black.
“Ugh, a critical rush. How unlucky! Time to retreat!” Sneaker god tried to run away.
Hehe it is time for you to say your butt goodbye!
I threw my spear at him but the parts of the spear got loose and it turned into the sticks on chains.
Woops.
It still hit him but he was now impaled by sticks on chains imbued with black lightning. I guess this works? I kept zapping him because he couldn’t escape.
“Aaagh!”
Oh you want more?
I put my [Dynamo clouds] on maximum and kept generating energy and sending it through my spear-chain-stick weapon. He sent attacks at me but his aim was worse than mine. I pulled on the chains and pulled him into a large rock while still zapping him.
Haha! Get rekt!
I kept swinging him around and zapping him. Another orange explosion and he coughed up blood. These minor gods are a joke. Kinda.
“Very well I will kill you then.” He turned into lightning and broke free.
My intuition told me to block behind me so I did. I blocked a kick with my arm.
Heh! How do you like these muscles!
He sent another lightning-fast kick at me but I blocked it too.
“What the fuck? I’m a god nothing should be stronger than me!”
This happens when you skip leg day!
I grabbed his leg, zapped it and threw him at the ground. My spear turned back to normal and I filled it with black lightning and threw it at him. He got hit by some random black lightning bolts after dodging. It was raining black lightning bolts as usual and he got hit by more random bolts.
He threw red lightning at me and I used [Thunder Cloak]. It hit me but did minimal damage.
Wow aren’t you supposed to be a god? Why are you so weak?
My intuition told me to kick to my right side which I did. My kick met his and I was slowly pushing him back.
“What… what are you?!”
I am a six tailed lightning tiger!
“A what?”
Uhh a 6t?
“Yes, what is that?”
Uhh a tiger that can use lightning and has six tails
“Stop lying!”
What is the deal with this sneakergod? I punched him and another orange explosion sent him flying. I also saw teeth flying around. I always wondered but aren’t mythical beasts as strong as minor or medium gods physically? Besides the 9t because for some reason they’re super squishy.
I teleported next to sneakergod who just got up and I punched him again.
This felt so good! He flew into a hill and I teleported to him and kept punching him with black lightning imbued fists. A red flash of lightning hit my [Thundercloak] but it protected me from any lightning attacks.
“Wh... this is imposs…”
I punched his face which was a bit misformed. I didn’t pay much attention and I took a kick and got sent flying.
Ouch.
I got up and saw sneaker god rushing at me. This time running on his sneakers. I smiled and held up my hand and my spear returned to me. I held it forward and he ran into the spear to which I blasted him with [Black Lightning Spear]. My intuition told me to get out of here so I teleported away.
The area I was in got vaporized.
Oof so he still had some juice left.
His skin discolered a bit and he bulked up but it still looked like he skipped leg day.
Wow how much do you hate leg day?
He caught a random black lightning bolt and threw it at me. I dodged it but my intuition told me that, that was a mistake. A large fist imbued with red lightning appeared next to me and hit me.
That hurts!
“What are you! That was supposed to kill you!”
He teleported behind me for another kick but I used [Raishin Kick]. It always starts with sweeping my spear at the legs and this Sneaker god seems to have weak legs. The punch grazed me which messed up my timing to continue [Raishin Kick] but I could get a real kick in with extra spicy black lightning of course! Another orange explosion but the orange aura disappeared shortly after.
“Ugh, I can’t believe you got this lucky.”
What do you mean! I could have finished you off with [Raishin kick] if it landed!
“Then what was that attack you hit me with then!”
Just a normal kick…
“Liar! No beast kin is that strong!”
You really are stupid are you…
I decided to give Agnis [Tail Dynamo] a try. My [Tail Dynamo] and my [Dynamo clouds] worked hard. I kept punching and kicking him and managed to land a [Lightning Glitter] on him.
Whoa this is tiring!
My [Tail Dynamo] and [Dynamo Clouds] combined had finally gotten enough energy to push to the next lightning color. It felt a bit cheap to finish this god off with Agnis’ color but since Sneakergod after him it might be a good way to send him off.
I swiped my spear at his legs. I heard something break. It was not my spear.
“Aaagh!” Sneakergod crumpled down as I had broken his legs.
I drove the spear through him.
How about a [Silver Lightning Haze]?
The lightning briefly shifted to silver. But it was enough. The [Silver Lightning Haze] vaporized the Sneaker god. At least that’s what my intuition told me.
He’s gone. I slumped to the ground as my 6t mode dropped.
Wow this silver lighting slurps a lot of energy. No wonder Agnis has to eat like crazy after using it.
‘Groah’ My stomach growled and I looked at my bag but it had been blasted to pieces.
Noo my tasty sandwiches! That asshole!
I wanted to vent more on him but he was already dead. I was now hangry...
Meh. Time to get back to the elven village and ask Elliana to make more of those tasty sandwiches.
I held my hand up in the sky to get my spear back but it didn’t return.
“This is a very nice spear. Where did you get it?”
A guy that looked like Sneakergod was sitting on a rock and inspecting my spear. He was wearing boots though and a trench coat. Is this Bootgod?
Give me my spear back!
“Not after what you did to my brother!” The wind picked up and it seemed like the storm got worse.
He started it!
I dodged a [Wind Blast] that punched a hole into the rock behind me.
Whoa that looks nasty! I don’t want to get deleted!
“Haha yes admire my power! Now stand still so I can blast you to pieces!”
I teleported away to avoid all the bullshit he threw at me. why am I this unlucky? I’m super hungry, how am I supposed to fight on an empty stomach? I could only make purple lightning currently. ‘Groah’ My stomach rumbled again.
Yes, stomach be a bit patient. I need to escape this jerk first.
“Who are you calling a jerk? You killed my brother!”
He will be back someday! Stop being an asshole and leave me alone!
A [Tornado] launched me up high in the sky. I want to show him the power of [Fusionado] but I’m too hungry.
“Haha! How do you find my wind magic! I might not be THE god of wind! But at least I’m way better than anyone down here! Even better than those overgrown lizards you call dragons! Hahaha!” Bootgod was laughing loud at himself as I saw a large no-winged dragon appear behind him.
Oh wow! I never thought I would get into a situation like this! Ahum. Ehhm he’s right behind you. Hmm I don’t think this went well.
“Haha what are you talking about?” Bootgod turned around and was face to face with the enormous no-winged wind dragon.
“I see there are still idiot gods that think they can best a dragon, very well, let me show you how Inyr the Northern Stormdragon fights.”
“Uhh wait Inyr? Haha ehh I was just kidding! I will just deal with this murderer here and be off. No need to pay attention to me.”
Ooh ooh! I’ve heard about you! Hey Inyr! I’m the friend of Agnis Hourai! This Bootgod and his brother are friends with that bitch Biian and are trying to kill him!
All the wind disappeared and the tension rose. It felt as if it was hard to breathe.
“Is that so minor god?”
I don’t know what dragon expressions look like but Inyr seemed pissed off.
“Eh haha of course not!”
“I am familiar with the scent of that bitch’s mana. I do know for a fact that she was responsible for killing a dear friend of mine.” The mana and air pressure built up as Inyr had locked on to Bootgod.
I gulped. I am so glad that this guy is Agnis’ friend.
“You seem to be of the six tailed tiger race. Agnis had told me about you, you must be Raishin?”
Yes!
“This is the first time I have fought with your kind, what do you think? Want to team up and annihilate this god from the face of the planet?”
Ohhh! Count me in!
I teleported to him and stood on his head.
“This will be short but let’s commit some deicide!”
Hahaha yes! Let’s destroy him!
