Marduk roared as he charged with his two axes, and Abzu just smiled at the anger in his face, which was not that surprising since he is a young and ambitious God, and so he charged at him. Abzu just smirked and then slashed in front of him, sending an arc of his energy at the young God.
Marduk smashed through the attack, only for him to be launched up from a force from below as he was surprised by Abzu, and the Primordial God opened a portal which took in the attack of other Gods and returned it to them.
Then used his sword to block the downward strike from Marduk, and smiled at the God, his teeth shining as he looked at the prideful God.
"You still have a long way to go." Abzu said even as his body was pattered with attacks from other Gods.
The cracks on his scales grew a bit from it as he growled at that, and then pushed Marduk back, and used his powerful tail to swat away some of the Gods who had come close to him.
And then sent streams of divine water at them all and they moved to dodge, except the said streams which were each big enough to swallow four Gods together split up and homed in on them and chased them as they cried out in surprise and tried in vain to escape it, only for them to be hit by it as they were engulfed by and screamed in pain from the water heavily damaging their bodies, blood leaking out of their bodies as they staggered in the air.
Ishtar was above Abzu and had recovered some more strength and was getting ready to attack him, Ereshkigal was below Abzu and was also getting ready to launch an attack. Shamash was alongside his sister Ishtar in attacking from top, while Nergal was with Ereshkigal also ready to attack the God. Abzu immediately noticed this as he took notice of their positions.
'The Goddess of Heaven and God of Sun on top of me, while the Goddess and God of the Underworld are under me. I see, taking the formation that is similar to their domains to increase their powers as the sky and the underworld working together in their ordained positions.' Abzu thought to himself as he recognised the symbolism of it.
"Take this!" Ishtar shouted as she attacked.
"The glory of the Sun!" Shamash shouted as he attacked with his sister.
"The flames of the Underworld!" Ereshkigal shouted as she sent iridescent flames at the Primordial.
"Witness the might of the Underworld!" Nergal shouted as he attacked alongside them.
This formation was not just for show, as it has a symbolic significance as well. Ishtar and Shamash are deities with domains in the Heavens, while Ereshkigal and Nergal are deities of the Underworld, and their positions around him mimic that symbolism of their domains. This also caused their powers to increase due to the position and their domains, their existences empowering each other.
Abzu smirked at their use of their domains and mentally congratulated them for it. And then created an orb around him which blocked the attacks, though there were slight cracks. However Anu, Ki, Enki and Enlil also attacked him, which further cracked the the barrier, as it grew, and he was besieged by the other Gods as the cracks grew further and covered more of the orb.
Marduk roared as he charged his axes with his power as he slammed into the orb and shattered it, and his axes met with the blade of Abzu's sword as the clash of both of their weapons caused the air to crack from their clash, the dimension also suffering from the power of their strikes as Abzu's eyes widened as he felt the power from Marduk.
'I see. He is growing stronger as we fight, the difficulty it making him and the others stronger.' Abzu thought to himself as he realised that.
He then sent Marduk flying back and slashed up the attacks from the other Gods and used his power of pressure to make it harder for them to keep floating.
'That's good. Very good.' Abzu thought to himself as he felt a bit of pride from that.
While it is true that they are trying to kill him and his sister, they are still his descendants, so seeing them get stronger with the passage of time in battle is a great thing for him to witness.
'While I did say that they are too young, this drive itself makes them worthy of their position, perhaps if they continue this stride, they might one day reach my level in the future.' Abzu thought to himself as he was amused at the thought.
"Very good, it is entertaining." Abzu said as he looked at his children.
"Entertaining? Your scales are cracked, you have had to keep on using magic to protect yourself, and you are outnumbered. Do you truly wish to say that in such a deplorable situation?" Marduk asked him as he raised his axe towards him.
"That would be true, if I was not a Primordial. Do you truly think that all of you are enough to truly kill me?" Abzu said to them as he released more of his power.
His scales started to heal and repair and returned to its pristine form and glimmered and his body and sword were covered in the divine aura which had a visible pressure on those around them as they felt it.
"Wh-What power..." A God said in fear.
"How much power do you have?" Ki asked in shock at the power shown by her father.
"Your mistake was thinking that I had shown my true power to any of you before. I was born from the Primordial powers of the formation of Worlds itself! From my Father Ea, you children have no idea about the Primordial forces that had helped create this world we inhabit, so do not presume yourself better than one such as I." Abzu said as his eyes glowed with Primordial power and the Gods around him felt the pressure and aura from him.
'Time to teach all of you the power of one born from one of the first Primordials.' Abzu thought to himself as he looked at his descendants as his power enveloped him.
A/N: 6 months. Yeah, I have been avoiding writing for a long while now, my mind wasn't in the mood for it, and I was keeping away from Hentai a lot due to my mental illness, Pure-O OCD, which had affected my mental health so so much. Considering the stigma mental health has in India, I had to hide it and it just makes it worse for me.
Honestly, I'm surprised I'm still living due to what I had been going through. It's literally using my memory of things I had seen before for that, and I had seen a lot of NTR hentai in my younger years so it was like ammunition. And it's not just NTR hentai, but things I hate which I might have seen, heard or read, sometimes I repeat a short or a part of a video many times before I can stop feeling the need to repeat it.
And yeah, it sucked, I was feeling depressed and felt like I would go crazy. I know I'm not normal, since I have a series of actions I do like a specific pattern of breathing to at least help me get over it for sometime, I am feeling a bit better now, perhaps it's because of my body growing up, I suppose, but I have no idea.
But yeah, I am living with dread and fear, not knowing how it will affect me. I have been keeping away from NTR and hentai related to things I hate, and I have been focusing on games, anime, movies and other forms of entertainment to help heal my mind of it all. I am not confident about my own mind now, since I'm not normal anymore.
But I also wanted to tell you that I'm still alive, just not confident in writing due to my mental state and all that. I wish you all a healthy mind and body, cause God knows I need both.
