“I will restore everything now,” says Leo.
As confused as she is, Mila tries to understand him so she asks, “What do you mean-” She shakes her head as she realizes something. “Leo, is that you?” He shakes his head. “Zol?”
“I do not have a name,” he answers. “I am not anything but All.”
His eyes glow in different colors. The air becomes heavy, swirling around him. Dust comes with it. The whole place is shaking. The screams are deafening. Swelling from him, the power overflows and reaches every corner of the shelter. Even those without senses to sense the power can feel it as if it is running in their veins. He is everywhere.
Darius sees the ceiling cracking like ice. “Leo!” he screams. “You better cut that out or I'll kill you! You want to kill of us?!!”
With millions of voices he speaks, “Death is inevitable. It is the end of the path of everyone and everything.”
“No!” asserts Mila. “think about the innocent! Think about your sister!”
“The boy's sister? You were lying to him that you know she's still alive. He knows that you were.”
As if the heaviest anvil crushes her chest, realizing the graveness of what she has done.
The ceiling cracks even more to the point that it collapses. “Darius screams, Argh!!! Now, you've done it!!”
Without wasting more time, Darius charges to put him to sleep. But with a single wave of his hand, he launches Darius away, making him destroy layers of walls. Mila knows right away that she is facing a powerful and uncontrollable person. This is not the Leo she knows.
“Leo,” she says, hoping to reconcile with him. “stop this now. Everything will be alright.”
“I am not him,” he says before fully destroying the ceiling to make a hole for him to come out.
Mila is too busy protecting herself and everyone else in her range from getting buried alive. She could not go after him. He goes up and sees the ash-ridden lands. Not a frown or gladness is on his face.
“This is not supposed to happen,” he speaks to himself. “Living things have been given too much free will. The unpredictability of their consciousness is a danger to the order of nature. Even the time frame is disorderly.”
Missiles and millions of bullets from the defenses come to riddle him with holes. Like a violent firecracker, they hit him with everything they have but to no use. His Strong Force is very powerful. He stops some of them in the air using his power so they do not explode. Suddenly, he sends them back to where they came from. All of the defenses are destroyed. Gatling guns, missile launchers, and towers, all exploding into hundreds of fireballs in the plain. He looks down. No one died because of the Seaters of Olympus Mons. Everyone looks at him in fear.
They ask,
“Who is that?”
“What is this power?”
“Is that the human?”
“It's Leonide!”
“The God of Gravity?!!”
“There's no doubt that he's the one who's responsible for this destruction!!”
“That traitor!”
“Damn it, Leo!!” growls Darius as he emerges from the rubble. His nose is bleeding. Panting, he looks up to glare at him. “That hurts, you little-”
“Most of you,” Leo speaks in a million voices. “should not have existed in this time frame. Relying on nature to deal with you is ineffective. Now, I'll take the matters into my own hands.”
He reaches out his hand, pulling the people he wants with his force. There are thousands of them, their feet being lifted off the ground. Lots of people he knows (if he is the real Leo) come floating up towards him. Most of them are humans and demigods. Only a handful of deities are chosen.
“Guiria!!” screams Darius. She is among them. “Leo, you bastard!!”
“Fist of Twenty:” Leo prepares his fist as the people he picked are in range. “Judgement-”
Appearing in front of him, “ARGH!!!” screams Darius in exertion, making Leo block with his arms.
The people get out from his clutches. Other deities saved them from falling into their deaths. Darius's punch sends Leo away from the shelter. He stops his motion flawlessly and comes rising in the air again. In this distance, he could not use his power to bring the people closer to him.
“You're supposed to be dead,” says Leo to Darius. “Kill yourself or I will.”
Darius smirks at him as he walks panting. “Don't be a little girl and fight me. If you're Leo, then you wouldn't have any problem with it.”
“I'm far more powerful than him. He's merely a vessel.” He points at Darius. “I can kill you in one blow I want to.”
“Then do it!” he taunts.
“No,” says Leo before making a force explode below Darius, sending him above half-conscious. Leo goes back to the shelter with ease.
A giant wall of glass appears before him. He stops and meets a barrage of bullets and missiles from Hyeon. He dodges and destroys them. With his Strong Force, he blocks Ruby's scratch. As soon as she lands on the ground, she gets out of the area as fast as she can to give space for Han.
He shouts, “Show him who's boss, Ruyi Jingu Bang!!”
His relic expands and extends so fast that Leo has no choice but to take it head-on. Clenching his fist, he prepares to punch it. The hit stops the expansion and it starts to stretch at Han's side. He gets hit by his relic until he gets sandwiched between it and the wall of glass.
“Han!” shouts Shui from the top of the wall.
“Gagh!” gasps Han after his relic shrinks. “I'm alright!! That bastard!”
Growling like a beast, Darius regains his clear vision. His hands are on the ground. He stands up and looks above and far away. Leo is fighting the Fourth Seaters of Olympus Mons. This is not a problem for him though but he cannot kill them.
Meanwhile, in the remains of the shelter, “Get everyone out of here, now!” shouts Mila to the demigods.
“Yes, my lady!” they answer and start to do it as soon as possible.
She is trying not to show any signs of panicking but the truth is that she is. The way Leo is acting, she blames no one but herself. Never she had thought that he could see through her lies. Even so, she has a duty to protect her people. This keeps her distracted from her guilt for the moment.
“Mila!” calls Aiko after appearing beside her.
“My Lady!”
“What happened to Leo?”
After gulping, she answers, “I don't know.”
“Maybe it's because of Zol.”
“Maybe,” says Mila, plunging deep in thought but she knows it is not the case.
“I'll go pacify him. You guys do what you can to save everyone!”
“Yes, my lady!”
Aiko disappears.
Meanwhile, above the clouds, Aurelia and Eleanna enjoy the sun on their way back to Asgard. This is one of the perks of being deities that have the ability to fly.
“I'm sweating,” says Aurelia.
“Alright, let's go down for a bit,” says Eleanna.
Then as soon as they pass through the clouds, they are a little bit shocked by how depressing life under the clouds is. Eleanna picks up a signal that has been pending for quite a time because they were over the clouds. Signals cannot go through the clouds very well.
“We need your help, my lady!” says Lilianna, using her powers of radiation to directly talk without the use of equipment.
“Brief me with the situation.”
“Leonide has gone mad! The Fourth Seaters of Olympus Mons, Lady Aiko, and Darius are barely holding on! Even Lady Mila left us with the evacuation to help them fight! Please, we need you and Lady Aurelia!”
“Understood! We're on our way!” They hasten their pace even more.
Aurelia tilts her head as she is clueless. “What's up?” she asks.
“Your friend Leo has gone mad.”
“What?!!” she exclaims. “Why?!”
“I don't know but we're gonna find out. Let's go!”
They are still half a globe from Asgard and it is only a matter of time until Leo beats the exhausted deities that come to take him out. He tries to get through them but they keep him away with heavy blows that he can easily block or dodge. Nonetheless, they believe they can turn the tide.
Han stretches his staff. Aiko teleports the tip to hit Leo's side. He gets the heavy hit. Followed by Darius's flying punch, Leo goes flying back in the opposite direction to be shot by Hyeon. Then teleported from above, Ruby hits Leo in the back, sending him onto the ground like a meteorite. But that is not all, Shui sends down his large mass of glass to where Leo landed. Miles of land have been shaken by the impact.
Flying using her clouds, Mila just arrived at the scene, seeing the large mass of glass in the middle of the field. She lands on the glass wall beside Shui and Aiko. Both of them are exhausted.
“Is everyone alright?” Mila asks.
“Yes,” answers Aiko. “How is the evacuation going?”
“It is doing fine so I thought I could come here to provide help.”
Shui scoffs, “Well, not anymore. As you can you see-”
The large mass of glass shatters into dust. Everyone closes their eyes. Through their eyelids, they can see a light. With their senses, they sense a swelling power. And when they open their eyes, they are frustrated to see Leo rising unscathed.
“Are you kidding me?!!” shouts Han standing on the ground below the wall. “There's no way that didn't graze him!”
“Well, the truth hurts,” says Ruby beside him. “How the hell did he become this powerful?”
From afar, Darius screams, “Leo, just sleep!!” and throws his dagger at him. “ARGH!!!” he shouts, amassing strength in his right fist. “Blood Rage: FIST OF THREE!!!”
Leo did not dodge or block. What happened is that on the part of his body where Darius's fist is about to land, a portal opens and another at the top of Darius's head. His fist goes through the portal and he hits himself. The ground explodes at where he lands. He falls unconscious.
“Darius!!” screams Mila
Leo says, “Since convincing will not work on the rest of you, then I shall do to you the same as he received.”
He teleports behind Hyeon. “What the-” Too late for him to dodge the shot from Leo's summoned g*n. Down to the ground he falls from the top of the wall. Leo points his finger at Mila, Aiko, and Shui from the far side of the wall. As if they knew it was coming that they dodged by jumping off of the wall. A large laser beam from his finger shoots out, melting the glass.
As they fall, they try to look out for Leo but they notice that he disappeared.
“He can use powers of other deities without Relics?!!” exclaims Shui.
“Seems like it!” answers Mila in a troubling tone.
Aiko is quick in teleporting the three of them away from the glass wall when it tries to grab them. They thought they are safe but Leo is already there waiting for them in where she decided. His fist is frosty as he prepares it. Ruby interrupts him but instead, he sends the ice storm to her. She gets frozen solid temporarily and falls like a boulder on the ground.
“Atomic Punch!” Mila exerts, with her fist sparking and welling up with energy. Shui and Aiko retreat to avoid getting caught up.
She sends it to him and he simply grabs her first with his palm. “Fusion,” he says, canceling the fission reaction of Mila's power.
She did not stop and kicks him in the chest. Pulling her fist from his grip is impossible. Like she is glued to him forever. They look at each other's eyes. The Leo she knows is gone. With a light push, Leo blasts her away, dragging her along the ground. She is incapacitated.
As soon as Shui realizes they do not have a chance he tries to retreat but then gets hit above the head by Leo using the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Han is getting choked by him until he falls unconscious. Aiko is the last one.
“I have to save them,” she says to herself, looking at the fallen young deities. “I'll do it fas-”
Leo appears in front of her, his face without emotion but ready to take her down with a single strike.
