Blade of the Goddess-Chapter 257

Willow examined the amount of energy that was being used by the Hexagonal Sphere and was finally able to give Zion an answer.

"I can power this indefinitely. It doesn’t even make a dent in the amount of energy I have."

’What the fuck?! This shit is literally guzzling energy like a black hole and yet this doesn’t make a dent in her power? How much power does the world have?’

"I hope you can understand that multiple lifeforms live on me. The amount of energy it takes to sustain that life is far greater than something as trivial as this." She snapped her fingers, and a cloak made out of hexagons appeared on her.

"Since you blanketed me in that sphere, I thought I should wear it like a cloak." She smirked

’She’s just aura farming at this point.’

"Thanks for helping out, Willow. You don’t understand how much this will help me out soon."

"Your war against the dragons?" She asked

Zion raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

"I know everything that happens in the world. It’s me after all." She winked

"No, that doesn’t make any sense. I’m me, yet I don’t know what every blood cell in my body is doing. Hell, I could have a disease right now, and I wouldn’t know."

She looked at him like an idiot. "You’re a demigod, you can’t get sick."

"I.....wait, really? Huh, I didn’t know that. Well, it’s not like I’ve gotten sick before, but still. The more you know."

"If this is all you needed me for, I’ll be heading back now."

Zion nodded. "Alright, I’ll see you around. Get it, cause you’re the planet and you’re a sphere?"

She didn’t laugh.

"And you have no sense of humor. What, have you been living under a rock or something?"

He gave her a smile, hoping she would find that one funny, but she didn’t.

"Fine, damn, I’m leaving."

Back at his home, Zion called a meeting with everyone. He told them about the current state of Hylaea and how they planned on attacking soon. He told all of his forces to prepare for war and bring out the big guns, as he didn’t plan on holding back. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Everyone who isn’t in the mystic stage HAS to break through soon. I’ll give you a month. That’s thirty years in there. I don’t know when they’ll attack, but it should be a bit before they come after us."

"Uh, sir, when you mean the big guns, do you mean-"

"Yes." Zion interrupted. "Bring out all the weapons, all the vehicles, all the aircraft, all the space weapons, everything. We’re not holding back this time. Either the dragons will submit, or we’re wiping them off the fucking map."

"Yeah!"

"Let’s go!"

"We’re going to war, baby!

"Zion." Lacey called out to him

"Yeah?"

"It’s your mom."

He nodded. "Okay, everyone, prepare everything you need. There is no going back."

Over in Zaleena’s room, she was sitting up in her bed wearing nothing but a tank top while looking out the window. While she was okay physically, it was her mind that needed time to readjust to things.

After her encounter with Circe, Zaleena truly came close to death, something she had experienced time and time again, but never on this scale. Fighting a demon was one thing, but never did she expect to fight against a demigod.

Although Demons and Angels are a higher level being, they are still considered ’mortals’ so their mind could comprehend them and their power, even if it was great.

But a demigod is a semi-divine being, a step up to even the angels and demons. Zaleena could barely understand how Circe was that strong, let alone fathom what she could do to her.

Because of this, her mind was in a state of limbo. She went through countless ways in her head to kill the dragon, but each time, she was brutally killed without Circe even lifting her hand.

The power of a demigod was just too great.

"Mom?" Zion called out to her, peeking his head through her door.

"Come in, sweetie." She smiled

"Are you okay?" He jumped on her bed and lay on her lap.

"I’m doing better. Probably need to rest some more, though."

Zion completely understood. His mind was already put through the grinder when he became a demigod, but even then, it was only because he had died and met a goddess so early on that he was able to be somewhat sane.

"I know you’ll pull through." He smiled

"Thanks. So, when did you become a demigod?" She still couldn’t believe that her son was a demigod. He had become stronger than her in such a short amount of time that it was hard to believe.

She still remembered how they teamed up to take on Olzak, someone who, by their current standards, is weak as hell. Now, Zion can contend with demigods, completely leaving her in the realm of the mortals.

"Not too long ago, actually. Obviously, you were in Hylaea, and I was in Cernunnos. My goal was to get the dwarves under my control, but Luminera had other plans. So, she beat the shit out of me until I became a demigod."

He laughed, but Zaleena looked worried.

"Don’t worry, nothing bad happened." He explained everything that went down.

"That doesn’t seem like nothing." She chuckled

"Fair, but they had good intentions."

He leaned into her ear. "Don’t tell them this, but when I become a god, I’m going to get them back for all the things they did to me."

"Hahaha! I bet! I can’t wait for that." Talking with Zion made Zaleena feel better.

"So, what now?" She asked

"Now, we prepare for war. I’m already getting things set up. I know Circe isn’t going to back down. She would have fought against me if it weren’t for the fact that I started attacking her people. She was prepared to kill me right then and there."

"Are you confident that you can take her down?" She asked

"It’s hard to say. I know I can stand a chance, but she’s old and wise. I’m sure she has some trick up her sleeve. Still, I have multiple sleeves, so I think everything will be fine. Sucks that I’ll have to kill her even though she’s so hot."

She slapped Zion on the head. "Stop thinking with your dick!"

"Ow! I wasn’t thinking with my dick, i was just saying that she’s attractive! That isn’t a bad thing!"

"That woman almost killed your mother, and you compliment her?! I should beat you right now!"

"OW! Wait! I’m sorry! No! NOOOOOOO!"
