The battlefield was chaos. The tform cracked and crumbled under the weight of the battle, each sh sending tremors through the air. The gods, once towering and invincible, began to falter under the relentless assault of Eren, Selene, Kael, and Aeryn.


    Eren moved like a phantom, his scythe a blur as he sliced through the divine defenses. His strikes were precise, each one aimed to cripple or maim. The God of Light swung a radiant de, its glow blinding, but Eren sidestepped effortlessly, his scythe hooking around the de and wrenching it from the god''s grasp. He followed up with a spinning sh, the ck energy of his weapon tearing through the god''s chest. The once-proud deity staggered, golden ichor spilling from the wound.


    Kael was a whirlwind of destruction. Her vampiric wings beat the air as she darted between the gods, her ws rending divine flesh. The Goddess of Water tried to ensnare her in a cage of shimmering liquid, but Kael shattered it with a single strike, her aura ring crimson. She leaped onto the goddess, her fangs sinking into her neck. The goddess screamed, thrashing wildly, but Kael held firm, draining her strength with every second.


    Selene''s druidic power surged, her connection to nature overwhelming the gods'' elemental attacks. The God of Air hurled a hurricane at her, the winds tearing through the tform, but Selene stood her ground. Vines as thick as tree trunks erupted from the ground, wrapping around the god and pinning him in ce. She shifted into her wolf form, her silver fur glinting in the dim light as she lunged, her ws raking across the god''s face. He roared in pain, his form flickering as Selene''s attacks drained his strength.


    Aeryn was pure fury, his golden mes consuming everything in his path. The God of Darkness loomed before him, shadows coiling and writhing like living things. The dark godshed out, a wave of void energy hurtling toward Aeryn, but he punched through it, his fists zing with primal fire. The impact sent the God of Darkness reeling, his form flickering as Aeryn closed the distance. With a roar, Aeryn unleashed a torrent of mes, the heat so intense that even the other gods flinched. The God of Darkness screamed as the fire consumed him, his form copsing into a puddle of shadow.


    The gods regrouped, their once-confident expressions reced with fear and desperation. The Goddess of Earth raised her hands, summoning massive pirs of stone to crush the mortals, but Eren was already there. His scythe cleaved through the pirs like they were nothing, the ck energy radiating from his weapon corroding the stone. He darted forward, his scythe shing across the goddess''s chest, leaving a deep, smoking wound.


    Kael and Selene worked together, their movements perfectly synchronized. Kael darted in, her ws tearing through the Goddess of Water''s defenses, while Selene struck from a distance, her vinesshing out like whips. The goddess cried out, her form flickering as the two women overwhelmed her. With a final strike, Kael plunged her de into the goddess''s heart, while Selene''s vines tightened around her, crushing her form into nothingness.


    Aeryn roared as he faced the God of Fire, their battle a sh of infernos. The god hurled a massive fireball at Aeryn, but he caught it in his hands, his mes consuming it. He hurled it back, the explosion sending the god flying. Aeryn didn''t give him a chance to recover. He charged forward, his fists zing as he pummeled the god into the ground, each strike sending shockwaves through the tform.


    The gods were falling, their divine forms crumbling under the relentless assault. Eren, Kael, Selene, and Aeryn pressed their advantage, their attacks relentless. The tform was a battlefield of fire, shadows, and elemental fury, the air thick with the scent of blood and smoke.


    Eren swung his scythe in a wide arc, the de cleaving through the God of Light''s neck. The deity''s head fell, his body disintegrating into golden dust. Kael leaped onto the Goddess of Earth, her ws tearing through the deity''s rocky armor. Selene shifted into a massive serpent, her coils crushing the God of Air as her fangs sank into his neck. Aeryn''s mes roared, consuming the God of Fire in a massive inferno.


    One by one, the gods fell, their divine forms reduced to ash and dust. The battlefield grew quiet, the only sound the crackling of Aeryn''s mes and the heavy breathing of the victors. The once-untouchable gods were no more, their arrogance and power shattered by the fury of mortals.


    The crackling mes and the silence of the battlefield were broken by a slow, deliberate pping. It echoed through the air, drawing the attention of the four warriors. Eren''s grip on his scythe tightened as he turned to the source. Kael bared her fangs, her crimson aura ring slightly. Selene shifted back to her humanoid form, her silver hair gleaming, and Aeryn''s golden mes flickered, dimming as his sharp gaze locked on the sound.


    Standing at the edge of the crumbling tform were figures that radiated power unlike anything they had faced before. The gods they had just defeated were there, whole and untouched, their divine forms gleaming without a single scratch. And they weren''t alone.


    Primal presences loomed behind them—beings whose very existence seemed to bend reality around them. The God of Space, his form shifting and shimmering as though he was both there and not. The God of Time, his eyes glowing with the endless flow of moments. The God of Life, exuding a warmth that felt overwhelming, and the God of Death, a silent figure cloaked in an aura that made the air feel heavy.


    The pping stopped, and a voice cut through the tension. It was calm, almost amused. "Impressive, truly," the God of Light said, stepping forward, a faint smirk ying on his lips. "You gave us quite the performance."


    Eren''s eyes narrowed. "What is this?" he asked, his voice cold. "You''re supposed to be dead."


    "Dead?" The Goddess of Earth chuckled, shaking her head. "Oh, no. You didn''t evene close."


    Kael growled, her wings spreading. "So what? You''re immortal now?"


    The God of Air let out a smallugh, his tone mocking. "Immortal? No. You simplyck the power to truly harm us."


    Aeryn''s fists clenched, mes sparking at his knuckles. "Then why didn''t you fight us seriously from the start?"


    The God of Fire stepped forward, his fiery eyes ring. "Because you''re beneath us," he said bluntly. "Why should we lower ourselves to fight mortals directly?"


    Selene''s brows furrowed, anger bubbling just below the surface. "So, all of that was just… what? A game?"


    "A distraction," the God of Darkness replied, his voice like a whisper from the void. "We wanted to see what you were capable of before we decided whether you were worth our time."


    The God of Time spoke next, his voice calm yet tinged with a hint of boredom. "And now that we''ve seen what you can do… we''ve decided. You''re not."


    Eren''s scythe twitched in his hands, the ck energy swirling around it. "You''re joking," he said, his voice low. "We fought you with everything we had. And now you''re saying it wasn''t enough?"


    The God of Space stepped forward, his presence making the air feel distorted. "Exactly," he said simply. "You''re strong for mortals, no doubt. Butpared to us? You''re like children ying at war."


    Kael''s ws flexed, her crimson aura surging. "Say that again," she hissed, her voice trembling with barely contained rage.


    The God of Life raised a hand, her voice calm and soothing. "There''s no need for anger. This isn''t personal. It''s simply the way things are. Mortals and gods exist on different nes of reality."


    Aeryn stepped forward, his mes roaring to life once more. "You''re just scared," he growled. "Afraid that we might actually challenge you."


    The God of Death finally spoke, his voice a deep, chilling monotone. "Scared? No. We simply see no point in dirtying our hands with those who are not our equals."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Eren''s grip on his scythe tightened further. "So, what now? You let us live to remind us how small we are?"


    The God of Light smirked, crossing his arms. "That depends on you. You''ve proven your resilience, but this is where the road ends. You''ll go no further."


    The four stood their ground, the weight of the gods'' presence pressing down on them like a mountain. None of them moved, their resolve unshaken despite the overwhelming power before them.


    "Do I have to step in or do I have to remind you Eren, you are my Horseman."
