Chapter 46 - The Start Of Vengeance

A few days later, Ayaan and Anshuman returned to the same old game shop.

The owner was nowhere to be seen.

Dust covered the shelves.

Everything felt strangely quiet.

Anshuman looked around.

"Why does this place feel haunted?"

Ayaan ignored him and noticed a game case lying alone on a shelf.

The cover showed a ruined kingdom beneath a blood-red sky.

On it were two words:

GOD OF WAR

"Found something?"

Anshuman asked.

Ayaan picked it up.

"I think so."

The moment they opened the case—

Everything went white.

The floor vanished.

The walls vanished.

The world vanished.

Their bodies felt weightless.

Then...

They opened their eyes.

They were standing in a burning village.

Children were crying.

Houses were collapsing.

The sky was filled with smoke.

"What is this?" Anshuman whispered.

Before either of them could move, they saw two younger boys.

One looked exactly like Ayaan.

The other looked exactly like Anshuman.

Their eyes widened.

"That's us..."

The younger Ayaan and Anshuman ran through the village.

Searching desperately.

Then they saw them.

Their families.

Lying motionless on the ground.

The bodies were surrounded by armored warriors carrying the symbols of the gods.

A giant figure descended from the sky.

Golden armor.

Divine aura.

The villagers immediately fell to their knees.

A voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Let this serve as a reminder."

"No mortal stands against the gods."

The young Ayaan screamed.

The young Anshuman clenched his fists.

The scene shattered.

Years passed in seconds.

The boys grew older.

Stronger.

Deadlier.

Training.

Fighting.

Surviving.

One purpose remained.

Revenge.

The vision disappeared.

Ayaan and Anshuman suddenly found themselves standing in a different place.

A vast kingdom stretched before them.

Mountains touched the clouds.

Gigantic statues of gods towered over the land.

At the center of everything stood a colossal palace.

The Palace of the Gods.

Anshuman looked at it.

"So that's where they are."

Ayaan tightened his fists.

"We're ending this."

Without hesitation, they began walking toward the palace.

The wind howled.

The ground trembled.

Suddenly—

Something moved ahead.

Then another.

And another.

Skeletons.

Hundreds of them.

Ancient warriors rising from the earth.

Empty eye sockets glowed blue.

Rusty swords scraped against stone.

Anshuman sighed.

"We've been here for five minutes."

"And we're already fighting skeletons."

Ayaan smirked.

"At least they're welcoming us."

The skeleton army charged.

The moment the first one reached them—

A strange mark appeared on Ayaan's arm.

WHOOSH!

Two chained blades burst into his hands.

The Blades of Ash.

Fire ran across the chains.

At the same moment—

Metal covered Anshuman's fists.

Massive gauntlets formed around his hands.

A spear appeared beside him.

The Dragon Spear.

Both stared at their weapons.

Then smiled.

Ayaan spun the blades around his arms.

Anshuman rested the spear on his shoulder.

The skeleton army rushed toward them.

Ayaan looked at Anshuman.

"Ready?"

Anshuman grinned.

"Let's go kill some gods." ⚔️🔥👑

Ayaan's blades tore through the skeleton army.

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

Bones flew across the battlefield.

Anshuman charged forward.

His gauntlets crushed skeletons with every punch.

One skeleton lunged at him.

BOOM!

It exploded into pieces.

Then Anshuman raised both fists.

And slammed them into the ground.

KRAAAAAASH!

The earth shattered.

A massive shockwave erupted outward.

Hundreds of skeletons were thrown into the air.

Ayaan immediately smiled.

"Nice one."

He spun his blades.

The chains whistled through the air.

SHING!

SHING!

SHING!

Skeleton after skeleton was cut apart before they could even land.

Within minutes...

The entire army was gone.

Silence returned.

Ayaan pulled his blades back.

Anshuman rested his spear on his shoulder.

"That was easy."

The two continued toward the palace.

The gigantic gates slowly opened.

RUMBLE...

Both expected to see a throne room.

Or an army.

Or a city.

Instead...

They stopped.

"What..."

Anshuman muttered.

Beyond the gate was not a palace.

It was an enormous mountain.

A mountain so tall that its peak disappeared into the clouds.

Ancient stairways spiraled around it.

Massive statues were carved into its sides.

And at the very top...

Far above the clouds...

Several figures were sitting on giant thrones.

The Gods.

Even from this distance, their presence could be felt.

They were watching.

Watching the two mortals who dared challenge them.

A cold wind blew through the valley.

Anshuman looked upward.

"So that's where they are."

Ayaan nodded.

"The palace was never the mountain."

"The mountain is the palace."

The gods remained seated.

One of them laughed.

The sound echoed across the entire mountain.

Another simply looked away.

As if Ayaan and Anshuman weren't worth his attention.

Anshuman cracked his neck.

"I already don't like them."

Ayaan smirked.

"Good."

Then Anshuman looked at the path ahead.

His smile disappeared.

The staircase seemed endless.

Forests.

Cliffs.

Ruins.

Waterfalls.

Entire kingdoms seemed to exist on the mountain.

"Bro."

"What?"

"I think this climb will take weeks."

Ayaan stared at the mountain.

"Weeks?"

He picked up a small stone.

And threw it toward the top.

The stone disappeared into the clouds.

Several seconds passed.

Then it came falling back down.

Both stared.

Anshuman slowly nodded.

"Yeah."

"Weeks."

Far above them, one of the gods finally stood.

His golden armor shined like the sun.

Even from miles away, his voice reached them.

"Mortals."

The entire mountain trembled.

"You may climb."

The god pointed his spear downward.

"But know this."

His eyes glowed.

"You will die long before you reach us."

The other gods laughed.

Ayaan looked up.

Completely calm.

Then shouted back.

"Then stop watching."

The laughter suddenly stopped.

Ayaan grabbed his axe.

Anshuman spun his spear.

And together they began climbing the Mountain of Gods. ⚔️🏔️👑

The mountain path grew steeper.

Ayaan and Anshuman continued walking.

Hours passed.

Soon the rocky paths disappeared.

In front of them stretched countless lakes.

The water was crystal clear.

The entire area was silent.

Too silent.

Anshuman looked around.

"Something feels wrong."

Ayaan nodded.

"Yeah."

They continued forward.

Then they reached a massive lake.

It was so large that it looked like an ocean.

The water was completely still.

Not a single wave.

Not a single sound.

Suddenly—

The lake began to ripple.

The ripples became waves.

The waves became storms.

The entire lake started shaking violently.

BOOOOOOM!

A giant column of water exploded into the sky.

A deep voice echoed across the mountain.

"You both choose death."

The water twisted.

Rotated.

Rose higher and higher.

Until a gigantic figure emerged from the lake.

Golden armor.

A massive trident.

Eyes glowing like the ocean itself.

Poseidon.

The God of the Sea.

The lake itself moved around him.

Massive waves rose behind his back.

Anshuman looked up.

"Well..."

"There goes our peaceful walk."

Poseidon's eyes locked onto them.

"You mortals dare climb Olympus?"

Ayaan slowly pulled out his blades.

The chains rattled.

"I didn't come here to talk."

Poseidon laughed.

The entire lake trembled.

"You stand before a god."

Anshuman rested his spear on his shoulder.

"And yet you're the one warning us."

Poseidon's smile disappeared.

The water around him exploded.

Thousands of water spears formed in the air.

"You know nothing of fear."

Ayaan stepped forward.

"No."

His blades ignited.

"We learned fear when your kind murdered our families."

For a moment...

Poseidon was silent.

Then he pointed his trident at them.

"Then come."

"Show me the strength of your hatred."

The lake erupted.

A gigantic wave rushed toward them.

Ayaan spun his blades.

Anshuman lowered his spear.

And both charged directly at the God of the Sea. ⚔️🌊👑🔥

The gigantic wave crashed toward them.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Ayaan jumped first.

The wave passed beneath him.

He swung one of his blades.

The chain shot forward.

SHING!

The blade wrapped around Poseidon's trident.

Ayaan immediately pulled himself forward.

Like a missile.

Poseidon was surprised.

A mortal was charging directly at a god.

Ayaan flew toward him.

And punched him across the face.

BOOM!

Poseidon's head snapped to the side.

The lake exploded around them.

Before Ayaan could attack again—

Poseidon grabbed him.

And hurled him into the water.

SPLAAASH!

Anshuman charged.

His spear spun.

Poseidon thrust his trident forward.

The two weapons collided.

CLAAAAANG!

A shockwave blasted across the lake.

Poseidon pushed harder.

Anshuman slid backward across the water.

His boots carved deep trails.

Then he suddenly changed direction.

He ducked.

Grabbed Poseidon's arm.

And smashed a gauntlet into his ribs.

BOOOOM!

The God of the Sea stumbled.

For the first time.

Then the water exploded.

Hundreds of water serpents emerged.

They rushed toward Anshuman.

One wrapped around his leg.

Another around his arm.

Then five more.

Anshuman struggled.

Poseidon raised his trident.

"Die."

The trident came down.

Suddenly—

A blade wrapped around Poseidon's neck.

SHING!

Ayaan erupted from the lake.

Water flying everywhere.

His chain tightened.

Poseidon was yanked backward.

The trident missed.

Anshuman immediately broke free.

"Nice timing."

"You're welcome."

Both charged together.

Poseidon roared.

The entire lake rose into the sky.

A massive wall of water surrounded the battlefield.

Ayaan jumped.

Spun through the air.

Both blades slashed downward.

Poseidon blocked.

Anshuman appeared from below.

His gauntlet smashed into Poseidon's stomach.

BOOOOOOM!

The impact sent Poseidon flying across the lake.

He skipped across the water like a stone.

Then crashed into a cliff.

The mountain shook.

Rocks rained down.

Poseidon stood.

Blood dripped from his lip.

The god slowly smiled.

"Excellent."

The sky darkened.

Thunder roared.

The lake began spinning.

A gigantic whirlpool appeared.

The water rose higher.

Higher.

Higher.

Until a colossal sea titan formed around Poseidon.

A giant made entirely of water.

Its head touched the clouds.

Ayaan and Anshuman looked up.

Silence.

Then Anshuman sighed.

"Bro."

"What?"

"Why can't they ever stay normal sized?"

Ayaan smirked.

"Let's bring him back down."

The sea titan raised its fist.

And slammed it toward them.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The battle had only just begun. 🌊⚔️👑🔥

The colossal fist crashed down.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire lake exploded.

Ayaan and Anshuman leaped in opposite directions just before the impact.

Water shot hundreds of feet into the air.

The Sea Titan slowly lifted its fist.

A giant crater had formed beneath it.

Anshuman looked up.

"That would've hurt."

Ayaan spun his blades.

"Good thing it missed."

The Sea Titan roared.

The sound shook the mountain.

Then dozens of water tentacles erupted from the lake.

They rushed toward the two mortals.

Ayaan ran forward.

One tentacle swung at him.

He jumped.

A blade flew forward.

SHING!

The chain wrapped around the tentacle.

Ayaan swung around it.

Using it like a rope.

He launched himself directly toward the Sea Titan's chest.

Another tentacle came.

He sliced through it.

Then another.

And another.

Water exploded everywhere.

Meanwhile—

Anshuman was charging straight ahead.

The titan brought down a massive kick.

Anshuman lowered his shoulder.

And ran directly into it.

BOOOOOOM!

The collision shook the battlefield.

The giant leg actually stopped.

Poseidon looked down.

A mortal had stopped the attack.

Anshuman grinned.

"You're heavy."

His gauntlets tightened.

Then he pushed.

The giant leg was forced backward.

The Sea Titan lost balance for a moment.

That moment was enough.

Ayaan reached the giant's shoulder.

He sprinted upward.

Like he was running across a mountain.

Poseidon's eyes widened.

"What?"

Ayaan jumped.

His axe appeared in his hand.

Both hands gripped it.

And he brought it down.

KRAAAAAAAAAAASH!

The axe buried itself into the titan's neck.

The entire giant shook violently.

Poseidon roared.

The titan's arm swung.

Ayaan was struck.

BOOOOM!

He flew across the lake.

Skipping across the water.

One.

Two.

Three times.

Until he crashed into a cliff.

The cliff collapsed.

Rocks buried him.

"AAYAAN!"

Anshuman shouted.

Poseidon immediately thrust his trident.

A massive water spear shot toward Anshuman.

Anshuman spun his spear.

Deflecting one.

Two.

Five.

Ten.

But one slipped through.

It struck his shoulder.

Blood splashed.

Anshuman staggered.

Poseidon smiled.

"You mortals never learn."

Suddenly—

A chain shot out of the rubble.

SHING!

It wrapped around Poseidon's trident.

The god turned.

Ayaan stepped out from the collapsing cliff.

Blood running down his forehead.

A grin on his face.

"Still talking?"

Poseidon's expression hardened.

Ayaan yanked the chain.

Poseidon was pulled forward.

At the same moment—

Anshuman charged.

The two attacked together.

Ayaan jumped high.

Anshuman jumped low.

Poseidon blocked Ayaan.

Too late.

Anshuman slid beneath him.

And smashed both gauntlets into Poseidon's ribs.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The god was launched into the sky.

Ayaan was already waiting.

He grabbed both chains.

Spun through the air.

And slammed both blades into Poseidon's chest.

SLASH!

Blood scattered across the sky.

Poseidon crashed back into the lake.

The Sea Titan began collapsing.

The giant body shattered into endless waves.

Poseidon slowly stood.

Breathing heavily.

His armor cracked.

Blood dripping from his wounds.

For the first time...

The God of the Sea looked at them seriously.

Not as mortals.

Not as insects.

But as warriors.

Ayaan rested his axe on his shoulder.

Anshuman pointed his spear at the god.

The storm above them raged.

And the final phase of the battle was about to begin. ⚔️🌊👑🔥

Poseidon slowly rose from the ruins of the lake.

Blood ran down his face.

His trident was broken.

His armor was shattered.

But the God of the Sea was still standing.

The remaining water gathered around him.

A giant sphere of water formed.

Protecting him from every direction.

Poseidon laughed.

"You cannot kill a god."

Ayaan stared at him.

Then started walking forward.

The water around Poseidon began spinning faster.

Sharp currents sliced through the air.

Anshuman watched.

"Bro..."

"I know."

Suddenly—

Ayaan sprinted.

The water blades shot toward him.

He dodged one.

Then another.

Then another.

The distance closed.

Poseidon thrust his hand forward.

A wall of water rose.

Ayaan jumped.

Higher.

Higher.

Straight through it.

The wall exploded behind him.

Poseidon's eyes widened.

Ayaan appeared right in front of him.

And grabbed him by the neck.

CRACK!

The ground beneath Poseidon shattered.

Ayaan lifted the god.

Then slammed his head into a giant rock.

BOOOOOOM!

The rock cracked in half.

Poseidon roared.

Ayaan slammed him again.

BOOOOM!

Again.

BOOOOM!

Again.

BOOOOM!

Blood stained the stone.

Before Poseidon could recover—

Anshuman arrived.

His gauntlet smashed into Poseidon's jaw.

CRACK!

The god was launched across the battlefield.

Ayaan immediately followed.

One blade wrapped around Poseidon's leg.

He yanked.

The god was dragged back.

Straight into Anshuman's fist.

BOOOOOOM!

Poseidon's body spun through the air.

Both mortals charged together.

Ayaan punched.

Anshuman punched.

Again.

Again.

Again.

The God of the Sea couldn't even stand.

Every time he tried—

Another punch sent him back down.

The mountain shook.

The sky trembled.

Poseidon's vision blurred.

The ruler of the oceans looked up.

Two mortals stood above him.

A sight he never thought possible.

Ayaan grabbed him by the armor.

Anshuman grabbed the other side.

Then both drove their fists into him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Silence.

Poseidon's body fell motionless.

The God of the Sea was dead.

For a moment...

Nothing happened.

Then the ocean began collapsing.

The waters that had existed for ages started disappearing.

The lake cracked.

The rivers dried.

The sea itself seemed to die with its god.

Massive waves crashed into each other.

Entire sections of water sank into the earth.

The mountain trembled violently.

Ayaan looked up.

"We need to move."

Anshuman nodded.

The two immediately ran upward.

Behind them the remains of Poseidon's domain were being destroyed.

The water swallowed his body.

The God of the Sea disappeared beneath the collapsing depths.

Buried forever with his kingdom.

Ayaan and Anshuman reached higher ground.

They looked back one final time.

Where an ocean had once existed...

There was only emptiness.

One god had fallen.

And Olympus had just realized that the mortals were serious. ⚔️👑🔥

Ayaan and Anshuman continued climbing the mountain.

The path became narrower.

Cold winds howled around them.

After hours of walking, they finally reached a gigantic gate.

The gate was ancient.

Covered in golden carvings.

Anshuman whistled.

"That thing is huge."

Ayaan placed his hand on it.

"Let's see what's behind it."

The moment they were about to push—

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire gate exploded outward.

Stone fragments flew everywhere.

Ayaan and Anshuman immediately crossed their arms.

CRASH!

The shockwave threw both of them backward.

They slid across the ground.

Dust filled the air.

Then something stepped through the destroyed gate.

THOOM.

THOOM.

THOOM.

The ground shook with every step.

A giant monster emerged.

Twelve feet tall.

Covered in black armor fused to its skin.

Its arms were massive.

Its face looked more like a beast than a human.

Two giant horns curved from its head.

An enormous iron club rested on its shoulder.

Anshuman stared.

"What is this, bro?"

Ayaan slowly stood.

"I don't know."

The monster slammed its club into the ground.

BOOOOOM!

The mountain trembled.

Its red eyes locked onto them.

Then it charged.

Like a runaway titan.

Ayaan immediately jumped.

The giant club swept beneath him.

WHOOSH!

Ayaan threw one of his blades.

SHING!

The chain wrapped around the monster's neck.

Ayaan pulled himself forward.

And drove his knee into its face.

BOOM!

The monster barely moved.

Instead—

It grabbed the chain.

And yanked.

Ayaan's eyes widened.

The monster pulled him through the air.

Then swung him like a ragdoll.

CRAAAAASH!

Ayaan smashed through a stone pillar.

"Bro!"

Anshuman charged.

His spear shot forward.

The monster swatted it aside.

Then swung its club.

Anshuman ducked.

The club destroyed the ground behind him.

Anshuman stepped inside the monster's reach.

And unleashed a full-power punch.

BOOOOOOOM!

The monster staggered.

For the first time.

Anshuman grinned.

"There we go."

The monster roared.

Then grabbed Anshuman by the throat.

And lifted him off the ground.

Before it could crush him—

A giant axe buried itself in its shoulder.

SLASH!

The monster turned.

Ayaan stood on top of the broken pillar.

Holding out his hand.

The axe returned to him.

The monster ripped it out.

And threw it away.

Then it charged both of them.

Ayaan smiled.

Anshuman cracked his neck.

Both stepped forward.

The real fight had begun. ⚔️🔥👹🏔️

The giant monster roared.

Its massive club rose into the sky.

Then it slammed into the mountain.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The ground shattered.

A gigantic piece of stone broke free and was launched into the air.

Dust covered the battlefield.

The monster laughed.

But suddenly—

SHING!

Ayaan's blades shot forward.

The chains wrapped around the flying boulder.

The monster looked up.

Too late.

Ayaan spun.

The chains tightened.

Then he swung the entire boulder.

WHOOOOOSH!

The giant stone became a missile.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

It smashed directly into the monster's face.

The giant stumbled backward.

Its head snapped to the side.

Blood splashed across the ground.

Anshuman grinned.

"That had to hurt."

The monster roared again.

This time even louder.

It charged.

The mountain trembled beneath its feet.

Ayaan and Anshuman looked at each other.

Something appeared before their eyes.

RAGE MODE AVAILABLE

The two smiled.

"Let's do it."

The world suddenly became silent.

Their weapons disappeared.

The blades vanished.

The axe vanished.

The spear vanished.

Only their fists remained.

A red aura erupted around them.

Their muscles tightened.

Their breathing became heavier.

The monster rushed toward them.

Ayaan vanished.

The giant's eyes widened.

Ayaan appeared beneath it.

BOOM!

His punch struck the giant's knee.

The impact shattered the armor.

At the same moment—

Anshuman appeared on the other side.

BOOOOOOM!

His fist crashed into the other leg.

The giant lost balance.

Before it could fall—

Ayaan jumped.

Anshuman jumped.

Both flew upward.

Their speed was unbelievable.

The monster tried to swing.

Too slow.

Ayaan landed a punch.

BOOM!

Anshuman landed another.

BOOM!

Ayaan.

Anshuman.

Ayaan.

Anshuman.

The giant's head was being hammered from both sides.

The mountain shook from every impact.

The monster roared in pain.

Then both grabbed its head.

For a moment...

Everything became still.

Then they pushed.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The giant flew backward.

Its body smashed through several stone pillars.

Then crashed into a mountain wall.

The entire cliff collapsed.

Rocks buried the giant.

Silence.

Dust filled the air.

Ayaan and Anshuman landed on the ground.

Their Rage Mode slowly faded.

Heavy breaths escaped their mouths.

The rubble shifted once.

Then stopped.

The giant was dead.

Anshuman sat on a rock.

"Bro."

"What?"

"I think I'm starting to enjoy killing gods and monsters."

Ayaan smirked.

"Good."

He looked toward the path ahead.

Far above them...

Olympus still stood.

And the gods were still waiting. ⚔️🔥👑🏔️
