DEVIANT-Chapter 406 - Love Vs Gluttony

406 Love Vs Gluttony

Buzzz!

The realm trembled and Alex frowned. He and Danny looked around and soon a flash of understanding ran across their eyes. They looked in the direction of the lady and for some reason, she didn’t seem scary anymore.

“Who are you?” Danny asked and the lady frowned.

She seemed to feel offended and was about to get defensive but Alex spoke up first.

“Don’t get us wrong but your initial offer was dumb to start with. We are Demons lords now so it’s only natural we side with the demons. As for us, we have proven to be far more capable than any other Deity of our level… I believe we deserve to know what we are getting ourselves into” Alex said coldly and the lady frowned.

She seemed to want to argue at first but after giving the matter some thought, she decided to let go of the matter. She could only look at the duo helplessly and sigh.

“You are in the underworld of the Greek gods?” Danny said with a deep frown.

“Yes, we came to retrieve something but we seemed to have failed and the plan backfired. It turned out to be a trap or lure us in” the lady said.

“If I’m not wrong. You are Eve” Alex asked while casually strolling around the lady with his hands gallantly placed behind him.

.....

He had this gentle wind surrounding him that gave him an air of superiority no matter who he was looking at.

Be it god or man…

“You knew?” Eve replied with a cunning smile.

“As agreed we will join you at the underworld as soon as possible, the problem now is we are quite busy now with the commandment of love. As soon as we are ready we will be able to find you now, we have locked on you” Alex said the last part with a calm look, but to Eve it sounded like a threat. It was like he was saying they will always be able to reach her from now on.

“Eros? How confident are you?” Eve asked with a frown, discarding her previous thoughts of Alex.

“Fifty…. We can’t say for sure since we don’t know what he is capable of, but one thing is sure, we cannot lose” Danny said with a calm but confident look.

Seeing this, Eve nodded in satisfaction and turned in Alex’s direction.

“I will see what more can be done. We will hold up here on our end” Eve said before she vanished and the duo returned to the real world only then did time start again.

They couldn’t help but shoot each other fearful gazes before returning their focus to Eros. The Olympian god who took a drastic turn and took the form of someone Danny and Alex once knew was just as terrifying as ever.

Cherry blossom petals surged around him while Danny and Alex were consumed by white and black flame. The two exchanged cold gazes before shooting at each other ruthlessly!

Swoosh!

Danny sprang forward and closed the distance between him and Eros in mere seconds. His body spun violently as the white flames exploding from his body surged fiercer than ever!

Black flame core: Void flames!

A vicious cry shook the heavens but Eros stood, unphased by this display of strength. By the way, he is the commandment of love after all!

“Enough!” Eros bellowed as he flicked his hand fan and a powerful surge of cherry blossoms petals exploded between him and the fiery white hurricane.

Behind the wall of petals, Eros stood with a calm smile on his face as he watched the fierce white flames trying to shatter his wall of petals but failing.

Xiu!

Alex appeared behind Eros and threw an open palm at him!

Buzzz!

Immense black flames exploded from his hands, consuming everything in its path but it met a wall of petals that manifested on its own.

“Cute!” Eros shot him an amused gaze and didn’t bother with Alex anymore.

“Cocky! Shatter!” Alex snorted disdainfully as he pressed forward violently alongside Danny as both of them mirrored each other’s movement...

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the world as the cherry blossom petals walls shattered but instead of celebrating, Alex and Danny frowned. The white and black flames quickly diverted the moment they were about to hit Eros, missing its mark completely!

“What?”Alex and Danny muttered as they quickly attempted to retreat but Eros had no intention of letting them go easily.

His eyes shone bright with determination as he flicked his hand fan and the cherry blossom petals twisted and turned to take the shape of countless pink arrows lined up in all directions!

Loose!

Swoosh!

Swinging his hand violently, he sent a shockwave across and the entire wave of attack rained down on the duo ruthlessly, filling the skies and blocking the sun.

Quantity!

Always overwhelming!

Alex and Danny frowned as the same thoughts ran through their heads. Back then during their lives as mortals, Alex and Danny have been forced into countless situations where they are always overwhelmed with numbers. It had left a mental scar on them and because of that, they wouldn’t hesitate to go all out as soon as they are forced to go through that suffocating feeling again!

Infinity core: One true God!

Buzzz!

Danny and Alex bellowed furiously as a black and white mighty Buddha emerged at both sides and the duo threw open palms forward!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Ripples and shockwaves rocked the world as the duo attacked fiercely but for some reason, they couldn’t touch their target!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Even after fighting fiercely for over a minute the duo couldn’t even touch Eros and what was worse was that he wasn’t even bothering to defend with his petals anymore.

This was the boldest way he could say they cannot harm him!

Cocky!

Alex and Danny surged with rage but there was a hint of caution in their actions. It was clear the enemy wasn’t using any special means to defend against their attacks.

They just couldn’t hurt him no matter how much they tried.
