Chapter 1416 Against The Gate Of Hell
-----
Gate of Hell, a portal that opens between dimensions connecting Yggdrasil with whatever Hell is. It was opened through distorting space and time to an incredibly high degree, and it may only be closed by an equally powerful force, or someone with an incredible ability over Space and Time.
My affinities with both of those Elements is alright, but not the best, and certainly not near enough to allow me to fix Space and Time to such an extent even if I really wanted to… There is no Space or Time Dragon Bloodlines from all I know either and it's an incredibly rare pair of elements that only a few could ever wield, even less master.
Pandemonium's abilities are tied to his Unique Skill and might not be tied to his actual affinity with these two elements; therefore, he can do incredible things despite that.
However, the System's abilities could even surpass his. Her calculations were never wrong. If there was really a chance to do it, then we had to try!
"Alright! Benladann, Surtr! Come with me! We're closing that damn gate!" I roared, my wife and my apprentice quickly hearing my words and instantly rushing to my side.
FLAAASH!
I moved my wings rapidly as I rushed through hundreds of meters in a split of a second, Benladann and Surtr appeared at my side, Miranda having been left behind to deal with the leftover Demonic Beasts.
"Alright, how do we do this?" Asked Benladann. "Can my Chaos Magic be of some use?"
"It certainly can." I nodded. "As long as Surtr helps us with his Heavenly Smith, there should be a way to close that thing!"
"My Heavenly Smith can help close a Hell Gate?!" Surtr was left flabbergasted after learning such a thing.
[Your ability to combine and transform components can also be used to transform the Hell Gate from an opened state to a sealed state, if my calculations are correct…!]
"Uwah! What was that voice in my head?!" Surtr panicked.
"It's the System, it is one of my Abilities, and also my dear family." I smiled. "I'll explain more about her later. Honey, think you can go all-out one last time?"
"I sure can." Benladann smiled, her half-Frost Titan and half-Chaos Dragon form exuding more and more of her Frost and Chaos Energies, as suddenly, her Divine Spirit of Moonlight, Shiro, appeared above her head. "I am a bit tired, but as long as I've got Shiro with me…!"
"GROOOAARRR!"
As all three of us reached the Hell Gate at long last, we were greeted by a monstrous and terrifying sight as countless masses of eyes and limbs constantly were trying to reach into our world. It seemed as if all Demons were mashed up together into some sort of aberrant, shapeless form, and as they managed to get in, a part of this mass of forms would detach itself from it.
"Just what the hell are these Demons, even?! They aren't at all like I imagined them to begin with!" Surtr was shocked by the utterly disgusting sight.
"It seems that they show such a form because their Dimension is so different from us on its compositions that… we can only see their original shapes as masses of red flesh, blood, bones, and their unique energy swirling together into some sort of… eldritch abomination." Benladann sighed.
[Benladann couldn't had explained it any better. I am still analyzing everything, which is incredibly hard to do, but it seems that when they reach our Plane of Existence, they quickly change their shape into what we can "perceive"… Perhaps the very reason why they're so tough is because of their components, their entire biochemistry is completely different than Yggdrasil's life!]
[If I could compare, the weakest demon is a giant while the weakest human is an ant! This is how much of a difference our compositions are, they're shaped and created to be tough… Perhaps by their own world's strange conditions.]
"That's pretty interesting, but I don't think we've got time to chat about this carefreely." I laughed. "Let's leave the analysis for later, System. What should we do now?"
[You and Benladann must rush in front of the Gates and Surtr fly behind it! Once all three of you channel all your Divine Power together, imbue it into the Gate at the same time! Oh, we also need Agni's help, if possible, he should connect all three of your souls as one!]
"Already on it!"
Suddenly, Agni's voice echoed from behind us, all the way where he was, his powerful divine technique activated, as rivers made of divine power connected all three of our souls together!
FLAAAASH!
It felt as if our souls had become one, even if temporarily, it was an incredible feeling of overflowing power. However, it wasn't something I could sit down and admire, and it might only last a few minutes at most. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕
"Alright, we're done here, let's do this!" I roared.
"Gotcha!" Surtr roared back.
"Let's!" Benladann nodded.
Her entire body quickly changed slightly, as Shiro suddenly fused into her body to give her an extra boost to her Divine Power. Her black and purple scales changed color, as she gained majestic dark pink and metallic purple scales across her large and muscular arms and beautiful legs.
Her tail grew long and of a clear pink and white color, resembling the same tail of the Moonlight Dragon Spirit that had made a contract with her, her hair turned completely clear pink, and growing incredibly long, resembling an ocean of pristine light.
And her eyes became pink as well, with a golden color on their center, and resembling the eyes of a snake, at the same time as her claws became sharper and longer, while retaining her humanoid-shape as a Titan, her dragon-like features took a more similar appearance to her Spirit.
"[Divine Spiritual Moonlight Aura]!"
FLAAAASH!
A powerful Spiritual Divine Aura of the element of Moonlight erupted from her gorgeous, gigantic body, making her overflow with new strength as both her stats and her magic increased rapidly.
Her transformation was absolutely amazing!
"Heh, did you like my new form?" She smiled, winking at me. "You can look at it more closer later, dear, let's concentrate in the present!"
"A-Alright!" I nodded, quickly rushing towards the Gate's front, while Surtr flew all the way to the gate's back.
However, the mass of swirling limbs, eyes, and flesh were not going to just close the gate easily. The countless tendrils quickly noticed our appearance, they fused wills of many Demons quickly seemingly being a single Legion, an entity that was many.
"YOU DARE COME TO CLOSE THE GATES OF THE GREAT KING?!"
A monstrous voice made up of thousands of voices at the same time roared, unleashing shockwaves as it spoke to us, attempting to push us back, as countless red tentacles started to emerge from the Hell Gates!
With our weapons on hand, we clashed against the incoming appendages, of many shapes, but mostly all resembling tentacles made of many limbs stuck together!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"Who are you?!" Benladann roared, her two axes clashing against one tentacle, as a burst of Moonlight energy cut it down into countless pieces.
"WHO AM I…?!" Laughed the voice. "WE ARE… THE MANIFESTATION OF OUR HOME! WE ARE HELL'S WILL!"
Hell's Will?
Is it… something like Yggdrasil?!
