Everyone's attention was drawn towards the centre of the crater. A trail of black smoke clouded everyone's vision and tension started to rise to the peak.
The five protectors who came out of seclusion due to the world being threatened stood there in a stupor. Their faces were horrified and even in the wildest dream they could not have thought of such a scenario. Let alone speak, their body was restrained just by feeling the presence of the person behind the veil.
When the dust screen dispersed, a man with twisted limbs along with a bloodied body riddled with holes due to multiple stabs lay on the ground in a puddle of blood.
The man was none other than Alex.
Christina, Athena, Yvonne and Catherine felt their heart being squeezed and tearing up seeing the pathetic state of Alex. However, that wasn't what frightened them rather the person who stood on Alex treated him like a grovel.
"Sisters, are you not going to greet me?"
With an evil lascivious smile hung on her face, she twisted her foot pressing Alex downward making him cough blood.
She then looked down at Alex and spoke coquettishly.
"Hubby, did you like my treatment?"
"Ri...Riya?"Athena squealed and her whole body trembled
"God...She is a True God."Marcus screamed in horror, unable to understand what was going on.
He was watching the scene where Riya was taken by the Darkness realm Supreme being but since they did not possess any threat he did not make any move nor did he had ever imagined that his decision would bite back at him.
"What are the Goddesses doing? How can they allow a True God to enter and descend here?"
"Damn we are screwed?"Dryad shouted.
"This is not possible," Isai screamed. His eyes have always been filled with hope and started to shake in fear.
"Riya..what happened to you."Catherine tried to maintain her composure as knew that Alex had a restoration spell that could bring him from near death and wondered if Alex was cooking something.
"Riya, I think you are being controlled. Snap out, Riya. You are going to kill him. Didn't you love him the most?"Catherine shouted.
"Yes, Riya doesn't let those bloody bastards control you," Yvonne added while trying to hold the tears.
"Stop...She is not Riya.."
"She just has her face."Alex stuttered.
"Cough...Cough..." Alex's stuttering voice filled with pain resounded.
"OhhhHow did you know that, please tell me?"The woman gave a vicious smile and extended her hand.
Her hands stabbed into Alex's chest and clutched his heart with nails digging deep into his heart.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Alex let out a painful groan which stupefied his wives because they have never seen him scream in pain irrespective of the circumstances.
"Please spare him."Athena shrieks in despair.
"We will do anything you say"
"So please..."
"Then beg…."
"Bow before me and beg down for his life and I will spare him."She smiled and stared at the four women.
"I heard you are the daughter of Goddess and all of you have pride of your own. I want to see it breaking apart. I want to see it fall."
"Heheheheh!"
"Bow before me and hit your head on the ground."
"No, don't do that, "Isai shouted trying to help Athena whom he and many others had personally groomed.
How can she let the girl who is like his own daughter bow to someone evil?
He can't let her kneel to anyone?
He tried to interfere but his body was restrained by an unknown force.
"Did I allow you to speak?"A sharp cold voice echoed and The Pope's body froze.
"Bug..know your place."
With a wave of her hand, the Pope was sent flying to the ground spurting blood.
"No....don't listen to her."
Athena gritted her teeth and looked at others.
Christina did not even plead for her own life when she was caught in the trial however now she was unable to think what would happen if she didn't bow down.
"Is there no one who can defeat her?"Catherine asked, biting her lips to the point that blood trickled down.
"She is the true God. I don't know.."
THUD
Before she could even finish her sentence, they heard a loud sound and looked to the side only to find Yvonne kneeling on the ground with a pale expression.
Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper and her body was shaking crazily as if she had seen a ghost.
"Yvonnnnnne!"The three screamed in shock because out of five of them, Yvonne is the proudest of all.
She did not even acknowledge Alex and even if their relationship improved, she had not moved an inch in her resolve. The three sometimes even wondered if Yvonne one day will fully submit herself to Alex or if Alex's marriage with her would remain political and loveless.
So, seeing her break down was disheartening to the point that they could not even describe it in words. They were shocked and baffled at the same time.
Yvonne hit her head and spoke loudly. There was no trace of pride in those eyes. Except for uncanny fear and pain, her coldness and pride had been broken down.
"I know I have been bitch and always tried to stay away from him. Curse him and look down on him. I may not be a good girl nor did I ever reciprocate my feelings for him sincerely. Maybe it was my vain arrogance or vain pride that did not want to submit to him."
"I have grown up in riches and always looked down upon the world. I believed in wealth which could buy anyone. I believe in my eyes to see fortune and I use that to manipulate others and always thought being with Alex is only for mutual benefit however seeing him like this...my heart is bursting apart."Tears started to slide down from her cheeks and Yvonne's voice became groggy...
"It is now that I have realised that he has become an inseparable part of my life. The one who makes me feel alive and makes me feel like a complete woman. I want to live with him, so please don't take him away from me."
Following Yvonne, the other three kneeled and hit their head on the ground begging for Alex.
Blood dripped down from their forehead and tears dripping from their eyes made the barren ground wet.
Everyone who stood there stared at the scene with unspeakable expressions.
These four had always been considered Goddesses in their hearts and seeing them breaking down wasn't something they wished for.
Fate was cruel to them.
What could they do before a True God who is equal to the Goddesses Of the World?
Pfttttt
A mocking laughter resounded which broke the tense atmosphere causing the four to look at her with baffled looks.
"Hahahahaha!"
"It's so funny. I have never laughed so much.."
"I mean how can you be so naive."
"Did you believe my word?"
"Oh, God! I am dying of laughter."
"What...do you mean?"Athena's eyes shook as bad premonition welled in her heart.
"I mean this."The woman smiled and squeezed his hand making a popping sound.
Alex's eyes became hollow and blood gushed from his lips carrying chunks of broken internals
"Nooooooooooooo!"
The four screamed and jumped towards her.
"Take him. He is going to die now."
Like a piece of crap, he threw Alex's body towards the four.
"Ale...Alex..speak ....speak.."
They caught Alex and Athena immediately tried to heal him but her effort was nought.
"Five...I need five.." Alex, who wanted to speak, coughed blood and his breathing stopped and his eyes became hollow.
Alex's wives' heads became blank and their bodies became cold. Fear, sadness, despair and anger clouded their minds.
Time seems to freeze for a moment and then the bestial scream of hatred echoes.
"I will kill you."Athena roared and her body burst out with a bright light.
Yvonne, Catherine and Christina were unable to process what was going on and thought about one thing that is revenge.
Revenge...Kill…Killlll…Revenge...Revenge...Revenge...
It was then they felt something breaking apart. Something that had been sealed, something that had been dormant in them erupted dazzlingly, a terrifying might that caused the world to tremble.
