884 [Ascendance Of The Goddess of Sins and Virtues] 5/?: Umlena's Despair!
-----
"WAR BLADE!" she roared, as within her nightmares she unleashed a powerful blade attack over the tentacles, slicing them into pieces and then unleashing a loud explosion of red energy all inside the dark abyss, illuminating it once more!
She kept infusing her power into the attack, as the light finally took hold of her senses, and realized that she was going through a nightmare!
"Ah…!"
Umlena fought against the endless nightmare of the abyss devouring her, as she blasted it with her strongest attack and was brought back to reality, only to realize that what she had gone through was merely an illusion!
However, she clearly felt her soul weakened, and all of her body was aching and painful, her body was dripping with sweat all over, and she felt exhausted, she didn't want to do anything else than rest.
But the reality was not as she wanted, she realized that Kireina had inflicted a powerful nightmare into her, trapping her soul inside without her even realizing it.
The worst part was that everyone around her, even the Gods inside their Divine Realms, whose Kireina's attack shouldn't have affected had indeed been thrown into nightmares, and she tried to use her Divine Link with them to help them free themselves from such horrible nightmares of pain and suffering.
She clenched her teeth as she was about to do that, but quickly realized that Kireina wasn't even near anymore and that she was currently shattering the barrier like nothing…
Additionally, several figures appeared where she was, and all of them began to fly towards the Divine Realms of the Gods, clones of Kireina with the ability to distort space opened portals for them to enter and slaughter and eat the Gods inside, as Umlena quickly realized that a pair of Centaurs who exuded the aura of Demigods and a Living Deity Scylla boy with a strange and almost grotesque appearance was flying towards her at max speed.
As a former Human, Umlena belonged to the Amazon tribe that once lived in the old Genesis, and although Amazon lives now too, they are not as big and glorious as they once were in the old Genesis, with immense temples and sects of Amazon.
Umlena, back then, was known as one of the bravest Heroines who had fought a thousand battles and had come alive from all of them, becoming a legendary figure within the enormous Empire of Amazon, which kept expanding as they conquered and fought against other Mortals, gaining territory over the years.
Back in the days, Umlena cultivated the Strength Path, which was not the same as other Paths that were based on elements, it was a path that those cultivators who had great strength and nothing else cultivated, the path that simply focused on monstrous strength and regeneration capabilities.
After being worshiped as amazing warriors and heroine, the entire empire gave her all the resources they could and quickly after became a living deity, being showered with new information about the world, the many gods, the great factions that governed everything and pulled the strings behind the mortal lives, and more.
She was quickly forced to join a faction, the humans.
After many battles and wars, she kept growing stronger while protecting her people, but as the Ragnarök came and everything went downhill, the world was destroyed.
However, she was later on selected as one of the Gods of the Central Continent within the Realm of Vida, and while taking care of the generations of Amazon that she managed to save inside her Divine Realm, she served the Gods of the Central Continent, such as the Great Gods that directly served the Supreme Gods.
Her life was filled with war and bloodshed, but it could be said that in the grand scheme of things, she was never anywhere… and was always, in the end, dragged around by other larger and bigger forces.
After seeing Kireina defy fate and eat her hero ahead of time, she felt anger, but had thought that there was no helping… without realizing it, she had become lenient, the complete opposite of how she used to be, which had made many admire her.
But then Zeus extended a hand to her, and promised her that there would be a way to have their revenge against the demon…
But now, she had just barely managed to free herself from a nightmare, Kireina didn't even move an inch and she was almost defeated, she felt pathetic, utterly pathetic.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she glanced at her with wrathful and blazing anger, however, a pair of centaur demi goddesses and a young Scylla boy flew towards her and stopped her in time.
"You shouldn't have woken up! Now, go back to sleep! Holy Light Armament, Fire!" said Sofelaia, as she quickly generated a whole set of armor made of holy light, alongside dozens of weapons as well, firing them towards her immediately after creating them!
Like a shotgun, the holy light weapons flew as fast as bullets towards Umlena, and because the Goddess was weakened and tired, she tried to evade but failed miserably, her entire body being shrouded with dozens of weapons made of holy light!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The blades and axes hit her entire muscular body, the blades seeped into her flesh and sliced off her muscles, blood splattering all over her as she gasped for air while vomiting blood, enormous spears penetrating her stomach as she felt her intestines bursting, the axe hit her shoulder and sliced off a large chunk of flesh and bone, and a mace hit her head, blasting it into pieces!
Due to the combination of Divinity Devouring into it and her own amazing Divinity and Authorities, Sofelaia was able to instantly decimate a Goddess' physical body in mere seconds!
"Unnggraagghh…!"
Umlena's soul screamed in pain as she saw her entire body, the one she had been using since she was a mortal being cut apart into pieces, as the beautiful white feathered centaur flew towards the chunks of flesh and devoured them with her aura, which shaped itself as a maw!
"W-What kind of monsters are you?!" screamed Umlena, her physical body might be gone, but her immortal soul was still alive!
She quickly tried to materialize her soul into her former form, or perhaps even bigger to confront the enemy, as she summoned her giant blade back to her soul's hands, and began to unleash slashing attacks made of crimson red War Energy everywhere.
Sofelaia and Sofarpia quickly began to conjure more long-ranged attacks, preparing large blades of all colors and firing them as fast as shotguns against her, while Marduk suddenly covered himself with his Divine Soul, which changed shapes into an enormous hydra-like fire dragon with many heads, firing giant blasts of blazing flames against Umlena!
Umlena braced herself as she released more of her slashing attacks, stopping many of the projectiles and flames threw at her, but these projectiles continued to reach her constantly, as the twin centaur sisters merged their divine auras.
Umlena kept infusing Divine Energy into her soul body, growing in size to withstand the attacks, but she quickly realized that the twin centaurs had suddenly done something similar to her, fabricating a giant centaur-shaped materialized Divine Aura Guardian, with many arms and wielding many weapons, which galloped towards her and fought her directly, her blade clashed against centaur's blades as explosions of light and divinity unfolded.
Umlena roared furiously as she had no time to fight now, and unleashed a powerful divine technique using her blade!
"War Blade of Slaughter: Bloodshed Battlefield!"
She generated a war domain and entrapped the two centaurs inside, as they found themselves inside a battlefield of many soldiers, amazon!
Umlena appeared behind them, these Amazon were not real people, but illusions made from her amazing use of Divine Domains!
The twin centaurs were suddenly overwhelmed by the army of Divine Aura Clones made by Umlena, as her giant blade flew towards them and quickly reached them in an instant, a flash of crimson light almost blinding the centaurs, as the blade flew towards their bodies, crushing them!
BOOOM!
Or so she thought… the blade was easily blocked by a gigantic shield made of Holy Light, as Sofarpia and Sofelaia fused their Divine Auras and Divine Souls together, enhancing the giant centaur with an enormous armor of all colors, brilliantly shining as it galloped and raised its blades into midair, sending them against Umlena while crushing the soldiers with its giant hooves!
"W-What?! You managed to withstand my blade?!" asked Umlena in utter surprise, as the Centaurs were way stronger than simple Demigoddess, and their strength easily rivaled her individually, but combined… they clearly outperformed her in Strength and Magic!
"The power we have acquired is to protect those we hold dear…!"
"Due to that, we have to fight even against the Gods!"
"We'll protect our people and our family…!"
"And the future children we shall soon have!"
As if they were saying a poem, the two Centaur Twins gathered their power and began to generate an enormous Holy Blade coated in many elements, as if it were covered in a blazing rainbow flame!
Umlena quickly realized that the two centaurs were not even damaged through the entire fight, they were simply testing their own strength as Demi goddesses, which they were still getting used to!
"N-No! I will… not lose! WAR BLADE!"
Umlena once more enhance her blade with her Divine Aura and Divine Soul, putting everything in this attack as she intercepted the blade coated in rainbow flames launched at her at the speed of a bullet, if not faster!
CLASH!
Holy Light and many Elements merged clashed against the density and immense prowess of Umlena's War Divine Aura and her powerful War Blade!
FLASH!
The holy light against the crimson fury of war, Umlena was slowly overwhelmed by the centaur's strength and willpower, her entire soul body began to be fragmented…
However!
She quickly sliced off a part of her soul which she let the centaur's blade penetrate while jumping away with her other half, opening a portal, and escaping from her own Domain, entrapping the centaurs inside!
"Even if for a few seconds, it is enough…! I am sorry, but I don't have any intention of dying here, Zeus! I have my family to protect too!" she said, remembering the Amazon inside of her Divine Realm that all were hoping for her to be fine, sensing that she was desperately fighting.
However, to her despair, enormous jaws made of divine flames reached her damaged and wounded soul as it tried to run away for her life!
"Where are you going? What did you do Aunties Sofarpia and Sofelaia?!" it roared monstrously, as the enormous heads made of materialized divine soul were Marduk, who had become a giant Blazing Hydra made of Materialized Divine Aura and Divine Soul, his real body was in the middle of such a monstrous creature, glaring down at Umlena with anger!
"Nnnggaaggh…! T-They are okay, they are simply trapped! The… domain will be destroyed in a bit! Let me go, please!" cried Umlena.
"I see…" said Marduk, as suddenly space distorted and the twin centaurs emerged.
"Ah! Please, boy! Let me go!" cried Umlena unleashing her blade slashes everywhere, but Marduk didn't give in.
"No, you are our meal. Mommy said that I could eat you with the aunties, and that's what I am going to do," said Marduk, his blazing crimson eyes seemed vicious and monstrous, this was not a normal kid at all!
"There she is! Well done, Marduk-kun!" said Sofelaia.
"Well done my boy!" said Sofarpia, as the two twins jumped over Umlena's twisting and struggling divine soul, which had almost exhausted itself out of Divine Energy!
"W-Wait! WAIT!" she screamed in fear and despair, as the trio quickly began to tear her entire soul apart into pieces, distributing it in between the three and eating it all!
Her entire existence was sliced apart and eaten, Umlena screamed in agonizing pain, this was the end of her journey!
"Stop…! STOP! Unnnngggrrrrryyaaaaahhhh!"
After a few seconds of her screams, she was completely gone.
Marduk seemed to be eating something crunchy, as he seemed to have eaten Umlena's Divine Core.
"Oops, that was her Divine Core…" he said, thinking that he should have cut it to distribute too.
"Ah, don't worry," said Sofelaia, petting him.
"Let's go now!" said Sofarpia, as the trio flew towards Kireina.
