"Through God Devour packed into your Bodysuits, any of you guys should be able to damage these Gods, even if by a little, no matter how weak you are! However, I will not separate you guys, I will actually help you gang into the weakest guys first, devour them, and then get stronger, and we will repeat this process until you can fight the Gods!" said Kiroid through all of the mech bodysuits, she was something akin to a super AI that was connected to all the technology Kireina had ever made!
As the Dark Moon Gods roared in affirmation, the Demon Gods were still rather puzzled, although only less than a minute has gone by since the disappearance of the Dark Moon Gods.
"Can you see anything, Oculus? At least Agatheina should be here, this is her Divine Realm after all!" said Jozrath.
"I am trying! But somehow, there is… something that is not letting my vision go through!" said Oculus in anger!
However, out of nowhere, he sensed it!
Space distorted, and the Spatial Layers that he was able to see even without being a Spatial God dilated, opening portals for a group of… giant mechs to appear!
"Spatial Magic! There is a Space Attribute God with them!" said Oculus.
"What?! But who?! Kireina is not here, we already know that the clones she made are fighting Hephaestus and his children! There is a third one, but that one went away elsewhere… Could it be that one?!" asked Jozrath.
"It could be…! I don't know, I cannot even see it properly, it is using an immense amount of Illusion magic to make my vision dizzy!" said Oculus.
The other Demon Demigods who were slower at reacting glanced in surprise at the group of mechanized Gods!
Although they were rather far away from them, as they had appeared near one of their peers that were particularly far away from them!
"He's our first prey, kill him!" roared Agatheina, her giant, crimson-colored bat beast mech released a loud shriek, as a large quantity of crimson Divinity of Blood accumulated on its chest Cannon!
They were aiming at Cathtacumb, the Demon Demigod of Cursed Fortresses!
However, Cathtacumb was not impressed, as he was very confident in his defenses, after all, he was a gigantic fortress, a literal fortress!
He was even capable of taking hits from Jozrath, how could he possibly think that he could be defeated?
Even if he were to, his regeneration abilities were amazing, albeit his speed was very low…
"Hehe, come at me! Guys, kill them while they attack me!" laughed Cathtacumb.
BOOM!
Suddenly an enormous cannon of crimson light fell over the giant dark fortress God, as he laughed!
"Hahaha! That was nothing- Eh?"
Cathtacumb glanced at its own body, as large chunks of it began to fall apart, alongside that, a giant gaping hole was left all over his brick-based body!
"W-What?! O-Oi… This gotta be a joke! Divine Technique: Grand Divine Fortress, Super Defense, Super Resistance, Health Enlargement, Damage Reduction!" cried Cathtacumb, as he infused on his own body countless defensive Skills!
Indeed, he did not have any offensive Skill!
This was because he always specialized in defense, and always was with a partner to fight, working as a living shield for them!
Using the knowledge that Kiroid acquired from Agatheina when she explained some of the Gods of Thanatos to Kireina, she deducted that this Demigod was the best one to kill first!
God Devourer was an evolved form of Divinity Devouring, dealing even more damage against Gods, and bypassing most of their defenses to deal direct damage into their Primordial Essence, the energy that made up their very souls!
Although Gods like Hephaestus knew this and were able to employ defensive techniques that protected his Primordial Essence and also healed it constantly (this is how he survived so many hits from Kireina in the Dark Steppes), these Demigods did not know at all the details of how Divinity Devouring even worked and was left completely hopeless!
"Roaring Black Thunder Claws!!!" roared Nezhit, forced to fight against his will, he decided to go all out, his enormous mech covered his body and made him look like a fearful gigantic metallic, purple-colored dragon covered in yellow thunder.
The powerful Black Thunder Claws impacted the gigantic defenses of Cathtacumb, tearing apart a large piece of its enormous body!
CLASH!
"UNNGRAAAAH…! W-What the… what the hell?! Why are my defenses not working! H-Help! You useless pieces of shit, come help me!" cried Cathtacumb, crying like a little girl despite being a frightening Demon God!
"You will be long gone before that! Divine Technique: Divine Strength, Great Draconic Palm!" roared Merveim, his gigantic black-colored mech body reached Cathtacumb in an instant, as he covered his draconic claws with enormous quantities of concentrated Divine Aura, clashing against the entire body of Cathtacumb, tearing it apart from more and more!
However, he and Nezhit were not the only ones, as all of the Gods ganged on Cathtacumb like vicious monsters, they did not care about honor or whatever, they were out for blood, they wanted to survive, nothing else!
"Why is my…! Why is my soul shattering?! No way… No waaaaaayy…! UNNGRRYAAAAAHHH…!"
CRASH!
The Demon Demigods rushed towards Cathtacumb, but he was killed so brutally fast, that his entire body exploded into pieces before the Demon Gods' eyes!
"Gab the soul piece and eat them, quick! You should be able to do so now that you've fused with the mech bodysuits!" said Kiroid, as the Gods quickly grabbed the pieces of the Demon God of Cursed Fortresses and disappeared through Spatial Magic before the Demon Gods could reach them in time!
"Cathtacumb was just killed?!"
"H-Hey, they're way too strong, we didn't sign for this!"
"And they have Spatial Magic! How can we fight against that?!"
"Oculus-sama, do something!"
"Jozrath-sama!"
The Demon Demigods cried to their leaders, but Jozrath and Oculus seemed baffled!
Cathtacumb had just died in front of their very eyes (many eyes for Oculus), and it was so insanely fast that they could do absolutely nothing!
The worst part was that none of the Gods in here specialized in speed, and the Dark Moon Gods seemed oddly speedy with those mechs!
Jozrath was good at physical fighting but his immense body was too heavy to move and react fast, Oculus was good at using curses with his eyes, but he did not have any curses to instantly stop someone from moving, and his speed was subpar even as a God!
And if these two were not good… then the other Demon Demigods were nothing much either, after all, they were 'fodder' that served the Pantheon but never participated in the meetings or were known for being particularly strong.
However, Thanatos had told them that by combining their strength with these soldiers and by using the large quantities of Divine Energy given, they should be capable of defeating all of the Dark Moon Gods eventually, as they lacked as many resources and 'fuel' as them!
It seemed that Thanatos had underestimated everything quite a bit for his perfect plan!
"This is… Oculus, Thanatos wasn't right, these guys are way too strong, and the unpredictability of Spatial Magic is something we were not prepared for!" said Jozrath.
"I know you brute! Let me prepare my curses and then I can-"
However, right before Oculus could finish his sentence, not even a minute has passed since the group of Dark Moon Gods disappeared, but they were already back at it, appearing right behind another Demon Demigod who was particularly far away from the main group due to his shock and fear!
Their next prey was the beautiful angelic maiden, Gratelqueth, Demon Demigod of Two-Faced Grotesqueness!
"Kill her!" roared Agatheina, leading her army of Gods as they fell and began to tear apart Gratelqueth before she could even react in time!
"GRRYAARRR…! Let me goooo! You won't… go away with your shit!" roared Gratelqueth, as she began to mutate, showing her second face, as a gigantic mass of purple tentacles filled with crimson eyes and an enormous and deformed jaw with razor-sharp teeth!
Her enormous tentacles attacked the other Gods fiercely, but the Gods used their Divine Techniques and the enormous power granted by the mech bodysuits, tearing them apart as the grotesque goddess screamed in agony!
The other Demon Gods rushed to her help, and some even managed to pull out some Divine Techniques over the Dark Moon Gods!
However, Agatheina, Merveim, and Hodhyl used their combined strength, combining their Divine Techniques and creating giant barriers that transformed into enormous, long-ranged spear-shaped projectiles, exploding and making the Demon Gods retreat for a few seconds until the other Gods finished killing Gratelqueth and grabbing her soul fragments!
"We are done here, let's go back!" said Morpheus, as Kiroid quickly began to generate a spatial rift for them to escape into!
"You're not getting anywhere! Twisted Evil Eye! Abnormal Evil Eye! Anti-Magic Evil Eye!" roared Oculus, inflicting several evil eye curses over the Dark Moon Gods!
Space itself began to twist around them, and then an abnormal atmosphere took a hold of the group, lastly, the rifts in space were suddenly canceled!
"Oh? Well, I am not as good at Spatial Magic as the main body… but this should do it, Spatial Isolation, Spatial Sever, Void Absorption, Attribute Negation," said Kiroid nonchalantly, conjuring several Spatial, Void, and Chaos Attribute Magic Spells combined with God Devouring!
Flash!
Suddenly, all of Oculus Evil Eye effects… were canceled masterfully!
"W-What?!" roared Oculus in surprise, as the Dark Moon Gods managed to escape in a new rift in space before they could be caught!
"Whoever is behind this spatial magic is canceling your evil eyes?! Then it should surely be Kireina! How can she be so strong as a mortal?! Even after everything we investigated, a clone shouldn't be as strong as the main body!" said Jozrath in anger.
"There is something wrong going on in here…! Why?! Should we… retreat?" thought Oculus.
"Retreat?! What are you talking about?! We shall never retreat, Oculus! How can we pathetically tell Thanatos that we were defeated by a bunch of nobodies?!" roared Jozrath.
"Tch…! You are right… All of you, gather around us, quickly!" said Oculus.
The Demon Demigods quickly flew towards Oculus as they were happy to receive their leader's protection, however, space distorted once more behind the gigantic bird-like Demon Demigod, Lacrupete, Demon Demigod of Feathered Beasts!
"Eh?!" cried Lacrupete in complete surprise, as he tried to unleash several Divine Techniques to fend off the upcoming enemies, however, Space itself distorted behind him, pushing him towards the opened rift!
"Uugrryaa!"
The Dark Moon Gods then grabbed his wings tightly and pulled him inside a pocket dimension in less than ten seconds, the other Gods glanced with tremendous fear!
This was no longer a fight, this was already becoming a hunting ground for them!
"They got Lacrupete, boss!"
"We have to charge our Divine Techniques and attack them when they appear!"
"Their spatial magic mastery is too high, how could it use space itself to push the body of a Demigod?! That's ridiculous!"
Within the Pocket Dimension, Lacrupete struggled to survive, screaming like a raging bird, unleashing thousands of explosive feathers, and using his strong talons to tear apart the armor of his enemies!
However, Agatheina used her enormous jaws to munch his neck, while Merveim pulverized his wings, and Hodhyl generated large quantities of wood, entangling its entire body!
"Kill him now!" said Agatheina, as the other Demigods gnashed their teeth, many of them not used to fighting so brutally were being forced for survival!
"Crrrryaaa! You bastardssssss…! Curse all of you! Curse all youuuuu…! UUGGYYAAAA…!"
Lacrupete was attacked by all of the Gods combined efforts, as his entire body was torn apart into fleshy pieces alongside his soul, and then completely devoured!
Having already eaten three Demon Demigods, all of them gods clearly felt an immense rush of strength coursing through their whole beings!
Although they distributed the pieces, the power was still there, and it was slowly stacking!
"It is a pity that we can't offer these Gods to Kireina-sama…! But we'll make up for it!" said Agatheina.
"My soul feels strange…! But this power, I have to use it to survive and fight!" said Morpheus.
"Everyone, focus!" said Kiroid, as she started to open more rifts in space!
