Chapter 1016 - [The Fated Holy War] 4/?: Levana & Maeralya VS Venettia 1
-----
After seeing Berael death, the army fell into silence for a bit… And then.
"FOR BERAEL-SAMA!"
CLAAASH!
Both armies hurriedly resumed their battle, as those close to the glorious and charismatic Berael felt the drive to avenge their General!
The Wyvern Overlord had truly a hard time there, a fight between Great Gods was really different than between Gods, Great Gods had larger pools of divine energy and therefore could last longer while fighting, and Berael, although he was raised into a Great God just recently, was incredibly skilled, it really showed that this Legendary Heroic God has not been slacking off at all since he became a God, and has only been polishing his skills and techniques for all this time!
In the end, the fight ended becoming a battle of attrition where the Wyvern Overlord won because of his special body, more resistant soul, and his God Devour, which was stronger than Berael's Divinity Devouring, damaging his soul more than what Berael could do to him.
The Wyvern Overlord slowly recovered his blade back to normal, as it shined brightly with blazing fire.
He had already saved up the corpse of Berael and his soul, which ended crashing into glass-like pieces inside his Inventory, as he rushed back to his family, supporting his children as each one fought a large chunk of the powerful army, new Generals began to pop up at every minute, as the waves of the intense battle between Gods continued to grow more and more intense!
Venettia, the Beast Goddess of Doves, noticed that her strongest child, Berael, had died. Her frustration and anger boiling with each second from her angelic beauty. She had seen through the fight, but since she brought her children to war was that she expected that many would die before her, it was a thing she knew about, that was how the war was, and they were not toddlers either, all of them were grown-up gods who had lived at least over five hundred years, they were strong and ready to give their lives for the greater cause of defending their home.
However, she had to admit that he had died honorably while fighting the Wyvern Overlord, his death was… majestic, despite the sorrow that she felt within her heart, she also felt more conviction and resolve to end this war and bring peace once more to her children and the people that they were protecting down in the continent.
They couldn't let this demon and her army of powerful beings get away with the things they've been doing this whole time! Inspired by her child, Venettia rushed through the battlefield, like a beautiful Valkyrie, she led her immense army of winged Gods as she utilized her long golden spear and her golden shield to fight!
FLASH! SLASH! CLASH!
Her powerful spear penetrated through the flanks of her enemies with ease, as her flashing emerald eyes released sparks of divine energy with every single thrust! Her divine aura flashing with bright whiteness as her divine energy was infused into her powerful Artifact, her spear reached new levels of power, each of her thrusts was like a flashing beam of white light, reaching several foes at the same time, a large chunk of Kireina's army was losing!
Her army, composed of the allied Gods that joined her over this time through her Interdimensional Merchant Shop announcement and also all the Living Deities from the various Gods that had allied her first, which she had all converted into Gods at minimum, were constantly fighting with everything they had!
Some were fighting because they wanted to protect their world and Kireina, others fought because they wanted to protect their beloved ones, others because they wanted the rewards from the Quest Board, and more.
However, they were all unified, battling against the many Beast Gods and allied Pantheon Gods that had joined Ova in the frontlines!
The two armies clashed against one another as Venettia, and her squadron of beautiful and majestic Valkyries began to quickly open the way for the rest of their army!
Venettia's powerful might and divine aura were incredible, she had decided to separate from her sibling, Bazael, and support her Dove-kin Gods children, as she easily began to dig a large hole through the army of Kireina!
Many Gods began to be weakened by her powerful attacks, and a handful was already killed if they were too close to her powerful attacks, their souls quickly going back to Kireina's Divine Realm! Venettia was amazingly skilled, and through a combination of effort and strength, she unleashed a series of amazing techniques with her squadron, all of them working as one single entity through their amazing coordination!
"I won't let you pass through! We'll protect our homeland!"
BOOOM!
Venettia released another powerful piercing beam against the army, however, someone resisted it and sent it into the skies!
CLASH!
BOOOOM!
The powerful beam exploded above the skies as Venettia squinted her eyes, seeing her rivals, two Great Goddesses she was familiar with, or well, not as much as she would have liked…
"Maeralya and… Levana!" said Venettia, squinting her eyes as she glanced at the two beautiful Beast Great Goddesses that emerged before her.
One of them resembled an incredibly beautiful cat-kin woman, with a tall and muscular frame with a very slim figure too, and a clear feminine beauty to it. Her blonde hair reached her shoulders and seemed quite wild, as her flashing emerald eyes glanced at her sister like prey. Her various tails, which belonged to different cat races waved around menacingly, as she carried a large golden blade with her and a shield. She was Maeralya, the Great Goddess of Cats and Cat-kin Beastmen.
And at her left side, there was a charmingly beautiful and younger-looking sister. Her appearance seemed charming and youthful. Her pale-white skin seemed like porcelain, as her fluff black fur growing in her limbs, and chest gave her a wild appearance. Her fingers had sharp black claws and were several times longer than normal humans, interconnected with long black membranes. She also had two large and fluffy bat-like ears atop her black-haired head, as her flashing crimson-red eyes gave her a Vampiric air that showed her grandmother's heritage. She was Levana, the Great Goddess of Bats and Bat-kin Beastmen.
Both Goddess released immensely big and pressuring Divine Auras that dwarfed anyone around them. Maeralya's aura was blazing with gold and brown colors, while Levana was black and crimson-red, both colors twisting constantly. Both sister's presences were completely different from one another, but they were working together for the purpose of taking down Venettia!
Venettia looked at the two with squinting eyes as she considered their overflowing power.
"We are here to stop you, of course," said Maeralya.
"I am sorry sister… But… I've decided long ago that I was going to fight for my people!" said Levana.
"You two… are you really planning to fight your older sister?! There is still time to stop this farse and rejoin your kin! Why are you fighting against us?!" asked Venettia.
"Because that's what we have to do!" said Maeralya.
"It is what we need to do, we promised Kireina-sama that we would show our worth in this decisive war!" said Levana.
Venettia glanced at the two Great Goddesses, her sisters, raising their voice against her…
"So you're serious! You really… Got brainwashed by that woman, weren't you?!" she roared.
As their discussion ensued, the armies stopped, glancing at the confrontation from afar… similarly to how Berael fought against the Wyvern Overlord.
Although they could perfectly resume the war, and they did in other areas of the immense and vast sky war, the auras of divinity that these three Great Goddesses exuded was immense…
"Brainwashed?! What are you talking about! We were not brainwashed- My Kingdom would have died out if it wasn't because of Kireina's aid!" said Maeralya.
"A-And my people would have been abused until extinction if she wouldn't have saved them…" said Levana.
Venettia sighed.
"That wouldn't have happened if you were stronger! I know that you and your group of slackers do nothing all day other than slacking and sleeping! If you were trying to grow stronger for at least a little bit… But the only thing you do is sleep, wasting away the divine energy crystals that mother sends at you… You were so pathetically weak that ended requesting the help of that demon!" roared Venettia, enraging her sisters.
"Okay, no more talk here, I am going to crush you. I've never liked you, to begin with, Venettia!" roared Maeralya.
"I won't you insult grandmother's wife like this anymore! Kireina-sama is a very amicable, lovely, and nice woman! She only wants her family to survive… the same as us! You don't have any right to tell us that we don't deserve to protect our family because we are weak!" roared Levana, leaving Venettia and Maeralya speechless! Since when she has spoken this much, and so filled with such big bravery?!
"Levana…" muttered Maeralya, her respect for her sister grew once more.
"You…" said Venettia, her eyes flashing with wrath!
"Maeralya-san, let's beat some sense into our sister, and then, when this is over, we'll have a talk all together!" said Levana.
"A talk? What talk do you expect me to have when we are all dead?!" asked Venettia.
"You don't understand it! Kireina-sama promised me that she would revive you and your people… this entire fight is pointless! If you were to surrender peacefully… But I guess you wouldn't, right?" asked Levana.
"Reviving people?! What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Not even the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin can revive people as easily as you're describing it!" said Venettia.
"But sister… It's the truth!" said Levana.
"I've had enough!"
Venettia called to her Valkyrie daughters around her, as they all flew towards her like flashing lights, forming tattoos over her body, and reinforcing her already stamped tattoos, which were all golden-colored and resembled doves and majestic wings!
Suddenly, all the tattoos around her beautiful body shined brightly and enhanced her capabilities, she raised her spear and her shield, and charged towards her sisters with the might of her children infused into her!
"If you want to die against me so badly, so be it!" roared Venettia.
Like a flashing beam of light, Venettia reached her two sisters in an instant!
She raised her shield and pushed it against Maeralya, while she pointed the sharp tip of her spear against Levana's head!
However!
"It won't be that easy!"
Maeralya used her strength as her aura suddenly changed into that of an enormous lion, roaring aggressively as her strength was suddenly multiplied several times, her golden blade pushed against Venettia's shield, as her shield blocked the tip of her spear!
CLASH! CLASH!
Levana gritted her teeth as her crimson-red eyes flashed with bright light, as she conjured her magic!
"Blood Judgement!"
