The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 180 - Zeel's First Knockout

Not waiting for either Alice or Zeel to make the first move, The Kraken stretched its huge tentacle across the three-mile distance to attack them. It moved too fast for Alice to react.

She could only recall being next to Zeel at one point and the next moment she was smacked a couple of kilometers away, barely managing to steady herself using her forbidden Telekinetic abilities.

Deciding not to mind being smacked away, Alice used the momentum and spread out her senses to their limits.

Through her seismic sense, she felt the other beasts edging their way towards Zeel, who was trying his best to avoid the multiple tentacle shots being directed his way by the encroaching Kraken.

Alice was gobsmacked at the grace of The Kraken.

It moved in the void of space like one would expect it to move in the ocean. The tentacles, legs, arms... hell, the entirety of the body moved like a ballerina in her prime, performing on Broadway.

Alice felt a bit jealous that a beast so large could move with such grace when she herself was a rougher type of girl. Elizabeth always mocked her less than delicate performances in certain aspects of their relationship.

In Elizabeth's own words 'Sometimes you wear the pants in the relationship more than Zeel'.

Feeling that her senses had spread wide enough to feel all beasts aside from The Kraken.

Alice used her strongest Telekinetic Grip yet to drag all the other monstrosities towards her location a couple of kilometers away from Zeel.

From a third-person perspective, this would no doubt look like a little girl pulling mountains towards herself.

Pain rippled through Alice's body as she could feel her Telekinetic Energy being pushed out by her Divinities.

The task of pulling the beasts towards herself was by no means easy. Especially when Alice knew that this was the limit of her current capabilities.

Zeel and Alice should not be able to access their abilities due to the fragility of their divinities. Using any ability apart from their divinities could have dire effects on their future growth.

Any ability prior to godhood is erased upon taking the evolutionary step, this was because such abilities had a large chance of conflicting with your divinity.

The explosion was of course the most logical outcome when mixing two things that should not mix.

Alice and Zeel were still able to access their abilities because it came from their connection to Lorien in opposition to their own physical or metaphysical processes.

Still, using her telekinetic power while battling was a desperate move for Alice.

This was soon apparent as she coughed up a mouthful of golden-red blood.

When a god bled red blood it meant they were simply injured, but golden-red blood was an entirely different manner. This meant that their divine essence was being damaged.

Alice's goal had already been reached by the time of her injury so the price didn't bother her much. The beasts were already drifting towards her location unable to alter their path.

The beasts maneuvered their bodies to gain maximum momentum as if in competition with each other to make it to their appetizer first.

Seeing the couple dozen enormous beasts coming towards her position, Alice steadied herself with her anti-gravity boots as two swords were formed from the nanites in her body.

Hybrid Runes quickly carved themselves onto the body of the sword: Penetration, Sharpness, Energy Hold, Return, and Alter.

Penetration and sharpness were self-explanatory abilities. Energy Hold allowed the sword to accept Alice's and Zeel's divine energy without breaking apart immediately.
