The Promise

Chapter 16: Darkness vs Gods

Third Person POV

"Ah, mortals. Your despair is so thick and rich with flavor that it lingers in the air. I can taste it and I gotta say, it's delicious"

"Open your eyes Rias, all of you open your eyes. Before you are a being who is the true definition of a God, I continue to rise in power and there is nothing you can do..."

Fear.

Horror.

Were these the two emotions that the godly beings were feeling as they stared at the Primordial Darkness's new appearance, it wasn't like anything they had ever seen before. It was like a thin, shadow-like specter almost and that was saying something since they had all experienced something with a similar appearance in the past.

However, this time was different. All of them have never seen anything like this, the color of the Primordial Darkness's new form was so black, so dark that it could easily block out any sort of light no matter how bright it was.

In that moment, in that split moment when he turned into this new form, each of the Godly beings felt a wave of dread wash over their bodies. They felt it in every fiber of their beings, each of them could see that Issei, or rather the Primordial Darkness had worked hard to make such a form.

Those like Buddha, Shiva, Zeus, Odin, and Wukong have faced many vicious creatures in the past, some that could easily destroy the fabric of reality if they so wanted. However, the monster before them right now was a tier above those when it came to appearance.

For power, they were not sure about it since they couldn't sense anything coming off the Primordial Darkness. What they did pick up were his bloodlust and nothing but that, making them wonder if this new form of his was either so powerful that they couldn't pick up anything or maybe he didn't have any power at all.

Odin was wondering if there was more to the beast in front of them than meets the eye, no doubt there were hidden secrets that were laying in wait to be discovered. He has always been about knowledge and has the desire to learn about anything and everything that meets his gaze, but he does know that he has to be careful or else losing another eye is the least of his worries.

Shiva knew that this wasn't gonna be an easy battle, even with those such as Buddha, Amon Ra, Sun Wukong, and even himself. The four were easily more powerful than any of the beings in the universe, but they can't be cocky before the battle even begins.

For he knew about Destoroyah, one of the Primordial Darkness's few aliases, and when the God of Destruction saw him for the first time, a mere gaze at the beast made him feel like he was being endlessly tortured in the most horrific and bloody ways possible.

Zeus faced his father, Cronos who had devoured his children because he feared they would rebel against him. The King of the Gods managed to defeat him, but it didn't come easily. He lost a lot in the Great Titan War, hell he wasn't even able to kill his dad at the end of the day and had to chop him up into pieces.

Although doing that to whatever was before him was not gonna be the same as his fight with his father, he'll have to give it his all if he wants to make a dent in it.

Buddha honestly didn't care who or whatever the creature was, hell he didn't even listen to what he said earlier when he took on this form he now sees. If he wanted to, he would ask him what his name was again, but doing that may just end up angering him.
