Meanwhile Zeus and the Dark Figure moved, Zeus was quicker than the black figure, getting near the face of the adversary Zeus lifted his leg and kicked with precision towards the throat, sensing the danger the man side stepped and tried to hold Zeus leg but was surprised when he sensed danger from behind, but it was too late all he could do was propel his body and try to escape from the danger, but it was all in vain, he felt a sudden pain on his back and was sent flying through the sky till he collided with a mountain, destroying entirely it. ¡°Coughhhh..¡± Coughing blood the black figure tried to stand up but received another punch on the head, feeling someone on top of him, he looked upwards and saw Zeus. ¡°Why are you so angry?Just because your clan was exterminated? HAHA¡± The man crazily laughed at Zeus face, every time he said a word Zeus face writhed in anger ¡°It seems like you want to lose your soul huh?¡± ¨C Zeus On the face of the black robed man fear emerged when Zeus touched his forehead but it turned in mockery while looking at Zeus ¡°HAHA¡­you were marked by his Majesty¡­You can¡¯t escape and you know that don¡¯t you?¡± Looking the man in the eyes Zeus smiled and said in a low voice. ¡°Of course I know, but I do not plan to keep this body anyway¡­¡±- Zeus Without waiting for the man response Zeus¡¯s blue eyes flashed and the life gradually disappeared from the man¡¯s eye, but in this process his eyes seemed to scream in agony as if Zeus was tearing away his soul, after seconds of what seemed the worst way of dying, life finally left the man¡¯s eyes. Zeus stood up and looked around, looking for any kind of life near him and determining that there was none, he casually lifted his hands and lowered it, a black vortex appeared in the air. Looking at the vortex a sad smile spread across his face and without looking behind he stepped in, muttering some words ¡°I will find you all¡±- Zeus --------------x---------- Thanks for reading till here Chapter 1 - The River of Souls Sorry about the Grammar mistakes...trying to get better --------------x---------------- Chapter 1 - The River of Souls The river of souls, where all the mortal souls are sent to be judged and reincarnated, it¡¯s a vast purple river where you could hear agonizing screams. If someone commits too many sins the soul needed to remain in the River of Souls for countless years as a form of punishment waiting their time to reincarnate, The River of Souls washed the sins from their souls and in this process the souls felt an agonizing pain like acid entering in contact with the skin. The River of Souls was connected to all the countless worlds of the mortal domain. In a corner near the River of Souls a white-haired man appeared, his blue eyes gave an electric feeling as he looked at the desolate purple river that flowed everywhere ¡°Sigh¡­ I need to find an entrance to the Mortal Realm, I can¡¯t stay much longer with this body¡­ soon they will come after me¡± ¨C Zeus Zeus shot towards the purple river, but when he neared the river he felt something trying to stop him from getting near it, it was like an invisible pressure forcing him out, each millimeter that Zeus advanced his body gradually decayed. ¡°tch¡­ as I thought, I can¡¯t advance with a flesh body, Let¡¯s see till when I can resist¡± Zeus gritted his teeth and proceeded, each step he took he felt an agonizing pain, like someone pulling out his bones and ripping his skin, but the speed which Zeus was going was too fast, in the blink of an eye he was in the front of the river, he had no more skin, looking at him all you could see was flesh and the blood vessels pulsating. ¡°It seems like I can¡¯t proceed with this body anymore, I can¡¯t enter the River of Souls with a flesh body.¡±- Zeus With a smile Zeus made some hand signals (*like in Naruto*), and faintly whispered ¡® Soul Regression¡¯, a white light wrapped around his body, gradually his flesh and bones started to disappear and a white soul with his same features appeared, this soul was wrapped in blue lightings snakes. ¡°It seems like this Lost Art was useful after all¡­like this they can¡¯t find me for a while¡± ¨C Zeus Sensing the pressure decreasing, Zeus dived into the River of Souls, when his body touched the purple waters he felt pain, pain like he never felt before, the water was wiping his soul from his sins, he didn¡¯t dare stop here because he knew if he stayed put the pain would just get worse, so he gritted his teeth and advanced. Zeus proceeded and as he walked he saw uncountable number of souls screaming and contorting from pain or just silent as if their conscience didn¡¯t exist anymore. ¡°It seems like they didn¡¯t withstand the cleaning, and lost their self-awareness¡±- Zeus If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Zeus¡¯s soul was strong; he was a God after all, his soul was much stronger than these puny mortals but even so he could still sense his soul weakening with every step he took, after analyzing his surrounding Zeus carried on his search to an open portal to the Mortal Realm In the River of Souls the sense of time was distorted, after what seemed hundreds of years roaming around, Zeus finally found a portal, but it was guarded by the River Guardians, these Guardians had full white armors and two hands sword, they didn¡¯t have countenance. The Guardians were created naturally by the River of Souls; they have the duty to protect the portal to the Mortal Domain, seeing these Guardians Zeus bitter laughed ¡°It seems like I will have to fight my way in¡­¡±- Zeus After so much time inside the River of Souls, Zeus aura had weakened, but it wasn¡¯t too much, but if he were to fight now his Soul would weaken, but there was no choice since he needed to enter the portal. Zeus speeded up towards the portal, sensing someone getting near, the Guardian got in a defensive stance and looked in the direction of Zeus, their robotic movements were too predictable, the two Guardians shot towards Zeus lifting their swords above their head and abruptly lowered it with massive strenght Seeing this movement Zeus sneered and side stepped, trying to find any weaken spot in their defense he looked up and down onto the Guardians, his lips curved upwards in a cold smile. Blinking behind a Guardian he opened his palm and chopped towards their necks as if trying to decapitate the Guardians. Without enough time to defend, the guardian tried to put the sword in front of it but to no avail, the hit was too fast, it passed through before the Guardian mount the defense and sliced his neck like butter. Zeus seemed to pant for air, this move had used too much of his Soul energy, looking at the other Guardian who was shooting towards him, Zeus licked his lips and smiled, looking at the portal and checking that there was no one defending it, he made a last effort and propelled himself towards the portal with the Guardian right behind him. ¡°Dumb creatures¡± - Zeus Suddenly sensing danger he looked behind, the last Guardian was right behind him, just a bit more and it would catch up to him, without flinching he burned Soul energy and speeded up even more, almost teleporting, letting the Guardian far behind Looking forward to the portal, Zeus was awestruck; it was a mystical view: white iron gates and a beautiful and mystical white color coming out from inside the gate and spreading to the River of Souls giving an almost grey color to the water near the gate, and engraving this mystical view in his soul¡­Zeus stepped in.
