Chapter 2155: Unleashing the Seven I
A world unable to resist the advent of the Distorted Gods would have become Eldritch' playground as he had the most powerful among them as his patron god. He would have achieved it in six months after the first year of the game started but he had interruptions. One interruption he encountered was none other than Equinox as he revived the dying faith of the Gods of Life and Death.
"He might be a big troublemaker, but he is not something I cannot handle. I defeated him when we fought before that means that he can never beat me again." Eldritch thought but there was uncertainty somewhere deep down in a place in his consciousness.
"Both of you would have become kings or queens if my plan had succeeded but your pathetic loyalty clouded your better judgement." Eldritch stated.
"We might change our minds." One the 'traitors' stated.
"If you tell us what our names are then we will consider your option. We are twins and our in- game names are close to each other which makes it easier." The other 'traitor' stated.
The statement of the two made Tai flinch as it seems that the two of them were telling the truth. Still, Tai decided to stay put and observe because Eldritch had a look of bewilderment. Eldritch opened his mouth but nothing came out because his mind is blanking out. He did not remember or even acknowledged them because there was no benefit for him.
A minute has passed but Eldritch has yet to utter the names of the two. In fact, he could not name them because he did not know their names. He thought that it was beneath him to remember the names of those around him as they were all tools for him. Chess pieces that were meant to be used for his own benefit and dispose of when they are no longer useful.
"I told you he will never have remembered our names." The girl 'traitor' stated.
"I just wanted to test him if he did but I guess it is to be expected. I am not even disappointed." The boy 'traitor' stated as he dropped an item to the large dark pit that they have summoned.
[You have activated the Pit of Corruption with all the correct materials.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Pit of Corruption which was just a large bubbling pit of darkness suddenly started to become active. This prompted Eldritch to act as he must stop the Pit of Corruption from activating. He still had time to stop the completion of the activation, but Tai suddenly confronted him or rather appeared in front of him. With just a gentle palm strike, Tai managed to send Eldritch back by two feet.
Tai thought that he would at least send Eldritch flying towards the wall as that palm strike was a legendary tier skill called Buddha Palm. It looked like a gentle attack, but it actually carried a powerful pressure and damage that can easily destroy diamonds. Eldritch managed to react in time and create a barrier made of strange flesh that absorbed the impact of the skill which is why the effects diminished.
"You left me no choice." Eldritch stated as he suddenly activated one of his more powerful skills.
Eldritch transformed himself into a Star Spawn but this one was larger and more complete than the one that Adrian battled before. The transformed Eldritch then gathered miasma in his large palms and shot it towards the Pit of Corruption. The powerful attack is then met with Tai's palm, but this attack was more powerful than the last one as it had a golden glow.
When the palm attack and the beam of miasma collided with each other, Tai was sent flying and crashed to the other wall. Eldritch was only knocked back by a few inches but he was in a more robust form. All of this happened in a span of three seconds which is why the twin 'traitors' were unable to even react. The twins could only see Tai being etched into the wall with a quarter of his mask destroyed.
"Tai! Are you okay!?" The female twin exclaimed as she ran towards Tai to help him.
Eldritch no longer cared about the others as he was more focused on the Pit of Corruption. He did not want it to be activated this early because it might make other players more monstrous. He needed the other players weak and easy to be trampled or else it would upset his timeline
even more.
"Both of you chose the wrong man to serve." Eldritch stated as he now collected more powerful miasma via his own monstrous mouth.
Eldritch needed to overload the current Pit of Corruption with energy in order to disperse the magic sequence it was activating. Eldritch did not bother with the twin traitors as he knew that they could never stop him in his current form. All the twin's attacks would just tickle him, and they would die from the aftershock of the explosion anyway.
Just as he was about to finish accumulating a large quantity of miasma, a large red fist suddenly slammed Eldritch' face. This large fist was actually five times the size of his monstrous head and it immediately cancelled his attack. All the accumulated miasma fizzled out as it was only collected because of Eldritch' channeled attack.
The source of the large red fist was none other than Tai who was previously etched into the wall. As soon as a quarter of his mask was destroyed and his right eye appeared, a seal that was keeping his power in check suddenly broke as well. This seal that released some of his power was not detected even by Eldritch himself as it was only an internal seal. Only the owner of the body could feel their power growing and Tai became stronger slightly at that moment.
"Secret Oni Arts: Oni Fist!" Tai slowly muttered as his body was released by the wall and his right arm swelled to a large degree to smash Eldritch' monster face.
