Boreas screams of pain and shock could hardly be heard over the sounds of Rowan feasting. The wings of Boreas began to writhe around once more as he began generating a new Demonic technique. The sight of those arms moving was horrifying to witness, as looking at them for just a short while would drive a god mad.
What Ohrox was consuming was not just flesh but was the Divine Spark of Boreas transformed into flesh and blood using a process that Rowan was rapidly deciphering, but he was beginning to see the similarities between the Divine Spark of the gods of Trion and the creatures found outside the Universe.
The development of power found outside the universe was a merger between the flesh and the soul, while the gods of Trion merged their Divine Spark with their Souls, making them similar to an Outer Universal creature.
There should be a reason why the gods did not travel far from Trion and expand their dominion to the forces all around them, and Rowan had just discovered the truth.
They would not be able to. Unlike Rowan, who was able to still exist inside the universe for a short while due to his unique will, the universe would quickly eject the gods of Trion from her embrace because they were technically breaking the rules.
The universe would consider them as outer universal creatures, although they were far too weak to deserve that status, and Rowan knew it was because his father had stunted the growth of the gods.
Trion must possess a unique environment that could shield their presence from the universe, but it must have a limit, if he had allowed the gods of Trion to grow unchecked, with their latent potential, it would be impossible for them to hide their presence from the gaze of the universe.
It was no wonder that the gods of Trion considered themselves to be invincible, while inside the universe, it was difficult to affect the soul but unfortunately for Boreas, Rowan was the bane of souls.
Although the Divine Spark of Boreas made it difficult to affect the soul of this god, Rowan had been inside the body of Boreas for a short while and he had ripped a considerable amount of soul energy when Boreas had been distracted with his ramblings.
With his power over souls, it was easy for Rowan to make the pain that Boreas was feeling from each bite to be millions of times as potent as it should normally be, nearly crippling the god in the process. The pain Boreas was experiencing was enough to kill a dozen High gods and the gut-wrenching screams from Boreas were evidence of the torture he was going through.
Ohrox was going for another bite, when an unexpected cry of rage erupted from Boreas body, a terrifying storm holding ice, wind, and lightning pushed Ohrox back, the claws from his feet creating large sparks on the ground as he was pushed for several feet and disrupting the Demonic technique he had been creating, if Boreas had delayed for a single more second, whatever technique Ohrox had been creating would have been unleashed.
Out of nowhere, Boreas had summoned the strength to push back Rowan, freeing himself from the demon's dreadful embrace.
The Demon King opened his hands wide and laughed, openly mocking Boreas, but inside Rowan was furious, he had not expected Boreas to break free from the lock of pain that he had been inflicting on him, and this move from Boreas was keeping him away, buying time for the god to recollect himself.
At this time Circe who was immune to the effects of the storm summoned by Boreas tore through it and slammed into the god, she was holding a blade of lightning and black ice and she stabbed Boreas through the large opening in his skull that had not yet healed from the assault from Ohrox.
Rowan decided to use Circe who he had kept behind him all this time as the next move on the board.
Since one avenue of attack had closed, he had to open another, he would not let the god have the time to collect himself, because he had shown that he had a surprising command over his senses and if he gave him the chance, then Boreas had the potential to be truly dangerous.
Boreas cried out and slammed his hands together, wanting to squash Circe like a bug, and she twirled around like a dancer, bringing both her legs upwards and resting all her weight on the lightning blade she was pushing through the skull of the screaming god.
A blast of lightning erupted behind her feet and gave her a frightening amount of thrust, and she drove the blade deeper into Boreas skull.
She screamed aloud as she placed all her energy into pushing the blade deeper but Boreas hands clapped together and a shock wave erupted from it that pushed her towards the ceiling of the vaults hundreds of feet high and still held so much energy that it pinned her to the roof, but she had given Rowan space to attack and he took advantage of it.
Boreas brought his hands to pull out the blade embedded in his skull but Ohrox was already beside him, his twelve-inch claws ripped into Boreas tearing huge chunks from the god, and his wings caught all the pieces of flesh and blood and an open mouth in the center of their palms devoured it.
The Demon King's deranged laughter rang out in the hall even louder than Boreas screams of pain,
"Did I not tell you, little god, that I will make you scream?"
Ohrox opened his mouth to take another large bite from Boreas' head when the demon halted his attacks and suddenly vanished, which was just in time before billions of bolts of lightning that had merged to create a large pillar of condensed lightning passed through his position.
That lightning slammed into Boreas and did not hurt him but healed him and began creating armor around his body. This lightning was coming from the millions of Spirit Guises whom Boreas had activated.
In his first move, Ohrox had corrupted a third of the Spirit Guises of Boreas, transforming them into demonic entities, this process was still ongoing, but Boreas had shown a surprising amount of battlefield awareness and he chose to receive all the attacks from Ohrox while he had pulled back the majority of his Spirit Guise from the corrupting influence of Ohrox.
Circe, who had been fighting against the effects of the force pinning her down, freed herself and flew down intercepting the beam of lightning that was launched from more than seventy million Spirit Guises. Boreas was using this opportunity to heal and activate his abilities.
At this time she was a Minor God, and the power from seventy million Spirit Guises was overwhelming even though she shared the same elements and had a near immunity over the power of storms, however, the force that erupted from this blow could not be easily nullified and she was shattered to dust, and yet her sacrifice stopped Boreas from completing his healing using this energy.
