Chapter 543 - Beginning Of The End (2)
Los Angeles wasn\'t the only place where Arnold\'s forces had popped out of nowhere. Throughout the globe, fire giants had appeared along with the rest of Arnold\'s army. No one knew what the hell was going on but they were happy that finally, someone could take care of the rampaging monsters.
"F-Fire Giants!?"
"They are on our side!"
"Focus on rescuing as many people as you can. The giants will handle the monsters."
"We are saved... we are saved..."
Some people were rejoicing, some were crying, and some were just stunned to see all of that with their own eyes. It looked like a scene from some movie, but at that moment, no one wanted to question the reality of what was going on.
The situation which was slowly moving towards humanities questionable defeat was turned with the help of giants. A single fire giant was enough to take on hundreds of monsters on their own. A single fire giant was ranked as an SS ranked being according to the humans.
Just one of them could send the toughest warriors to their doom. And here they were witnessing not a hundred or two hundred giants... but about a billion giants all over the planet. None of them had a single doubt regarding who was responsible for this. Deathless... no other human could have possibly pulled something like this off.
As the situation on earth was getting better... the same could not be said about Loki and Zeus. When they realised what Arnold was doing with Muspelheim, they decided to usher their plans and put them in effect prematurely.
The monster\'s sudden appearance on earth was no coincidence. It was all Loki\'s and Zeus\' doing. They had hoped that while Arnold was busy with the giants, they would use the time to obliterate earth and convert it into the battlefield of the gods.
However, it seemed like their plan was leaked as Arnold\'s forces showed up there before any of them had anticipated.
"It\'s not the time to sulk about." The new dragon overlord, Typhon, mumbled.
The dragon was currently in her human form and looked fearsome. Even more so than Zeus himself. Standing at 7\'10", this beautiful white-skinned woman had an authoritative feeling around her. Maybe it was her knee-length white hair or her glittering blue eyes, just looking at her sent tantalising feeling in Zeus as if he wanted nothing more than to have her in his life.
She had scars all over her body which was barely covered with the rope of a cloth she was wearing. Every single man in the room had their eyes on her. But they were well aware that acting on their \'indecent\' feelings would be the end of them.
"Ahem, lady Typhon has a point."
To everyone\'s surprise, it was Lucifer who spoke this time. He had been quiet ever since joining the alliance, so him speaking up now was a pretty big deal. Just like Typhon, Lucifer too had an enigmatic presence in the room.
However, his appearance was in complete contrast with Typhoon. He looked as if his skin had been charred away... just like the horns on his head. This was his real appearance. Unlike his doppelgangers whom Arnold had killed before.
"It\'s too late to back away now either way. The other gods will know this isn\'t normal and act on it soon. We need to send in our forces before that." Lucifer said while tapping his fingers on someone\'s head, "We can start so by sending the sun out with a bang."
In the mess between Asgardians and Arnold, Loki along with Lucifer was able to get in and out of the place with Sol and Mani, the goddesses who were responsible for moving the sun and the moon around Earth.
Taking them out would mean taking the sun and the moon out and triggering Ragnarok. It was obvious that the Asgardians were aware that Sol and Mani were missing. After that, it would not take them much time to realise what Loki had done and retaliate.
"As much as I detest myself for saying this..." Typhon shrugged her shoulders, "I agree with the demon. We have to strike now."
As soon as those words escaped her lips. Lucifer wrapped his claws over Sol\'s head and crushed it in an instant while Typhon did the same with Mani. Just like that... the goddesses were dead and so were the Sun and the moon.
At the same time, a gigantic portal opened behind Typhon and Lucifer and both of them left... for the earth. Ragnarok had been declared and it was time to start the beginning of the end for humanity and everything else. In the end, only Loki, Zeus, Hela and the army of undead were left behind.
With their allies heading into battle, they would have to head down there as well. But Loki still had something to do... gather the rest of his children. Without them, the end result of Ragnarok would be changed drastically and he did not want anything to stop him.
"Hela, send the undead in along with the rest of Niflheim residents." Loki mumbled as he got up to leave, "The two of you stay behind and observe the situation first. It won\'t do us any good if we\'re targetted right from the start."
"As you wish," Hela replied while Zeus left to sort his forces out.
"You should go in as well," Zeus instructed someone who had been standing in shadow. Hiding away.
"It\'s time?" Johnny\'s voice echoed from the darkness.
"Yes, it is. The portal will guide you to earth. Godspeed, my son. You\'ll need it." Zeus replied before leaving.
Johnny sighed and walked into the portal. It was time for him to face the people he once called his friends. He had no doubt, they\'ll view him as an enemy... as he would. But even then, he didn\'t have an option apart from doing what he did. Either he killed Nicole, or Zeus would have killed him and he chose to survive at her expense.
"Let\'s see what you have in store for me.... Deathless."
