BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - Bad Situation.
A world of chaos presented in front of Thor and Vidar. Nothing made sense in this place or this what they saw.
Basic laws of how the world should exist was twisted to an unimaginable degree. The matter was glitching and freaking out much harder than it did at the 10th layer.
The seasons were changing without stopping as it made the god of thunder feel a headache just by looking at them.
Thor wasn't able to produce his lightning without using his divine power, which made him realize that lightning wasn't existing normally in this place, or how it was made is very different.
He wasn't able to even control the weather or make a small thundercloud. It was like his authority was stripped away from him.
Vidar wasn't better as he was keeping a battle stance while looking at 'it'. He was calculating where he should attack, but that made him sweat as he couldn't calculate anything.
Where does he kick? How far he's from Leo? How can he reach him and attack? Vidar wasn't able to feel the distance, where he could aim, or how much he should run to reach 'it'.
Everything didn't make sense as the two brothers were sweating while looking at the young man with his black energy wings, flashing with some colors once in a while.
The chaos didn't stop as it was expanding in a rotating motion to everything around 'it', but it was slowed down by waves of pink space power.
However, much to the brothers' surprise, 'it' looked at them for a moment before 'it' turned its head and looked away. The brothers saw runes flashing on the coat 'it' wearing when it turned away.
The runes appeared briefly as they were golden and written all across the coat ends.
"Runes?" Thor was surprised that this 'thing' has runes on its clothes, but it was more confusing as he understood the meaning behind the runes.
"Hey, brother... Those runes mean to restrain or I'm hallucinating?" Vidar wasn't quite sure as he asked Thor.
"They really mean restrain, but why does that thing want to restrain itself?" Thor asked while trying to look for clues before he and Vidar saw the white dragon in the sky.
Palkia was flying in the sky, using all his power to support space and make it stable while containing Leo's power.
"He blocked the space and reinforced it?" Vidar tone was filled with confusion while Thor clenched his hammer and said " Yeah, it's locking down this place"
"Locking us here? No..." Vidar thought for a second before he said " It's locking that thing here"
"Yeah, but I don't think that thing cares" Thor stared at Leo's emotionless face and eyes as he didn't know what to do.
He wants to laugh at himself, he's the god of thunder and one of the strongest beings in the world, but he can't do anything to the thing in front of him. Any attempt to do something was instantly denied by himself as Thor didn't see any hope of winning.
Taking a deep breath, Thor calmed himself as the mighty hammer, Mjolnir, was flashing with thunder.
"Brother!" Vidar didn't think Thor would take action without a plan before he said " Although that dog is shaking with fear, it's still strong. Do you think we have a chance just by charging at that thing?"
He knows his brother's temper as the god of thunder, but he never thought Thor would rush directly.
"That dog only has some fancy fangs, nothing more..." Thor took a step forward, but 'Leo' didn't even look at him.
"There's no other choice, Vidar" Thor didn't look at his brother's eyes before he raised his hammer and said " I can't let this thing roam free in Asgard, or any other place"
*RUMBLE!!*
"Observe that thing, Vidar..." The divine lightning covered Thor's body before he said " This is a test shot"
*BOOM!*
Thor rushed as lightning as he crossed distance instantly towards Leo. However, he didn't rush directly as he kept jumping around with a speed far above the other gods.
'Leo' didn't care about Thor, nor did he give him any attention. He was just standing there as the chaos was revolving around him.
The lightning made a circle around 'Leo' as Thor's speed was increasing with each jump.
"Tch..." Thor didn't hope for a reaction, but the fact of 'Leo' ignoring him like a fly, made him angry before he charged towards him.
Mjolnir grew larger as Thor held it up high before striking 'Leo' in the head. The blow was accompanied by the divine thunder that was able to defeat gods easily.
However, the result surprised even Thor that didn't hope for something from the start.
The lightning and the hammer stopped an inch from 'Leo' as they didn't advance further. There was no sound from the thunder or the hammer hitting anything, it was just frozen there.
"AHHHHH!!!" Thor screamed as lightning was flashing around him and the hammer before striking again.
A hit after a hit, Thor didn't stop as he put everything he got in each strike, but all those attacks were pointless as the lightning disappeared after contacting 'Leo'.
"WHAT??!!" Thor couldn't move his hammer this time or even his body.
In the end, after all those attacks, Thor got some attention from 'Leo' as he looked at him with those lifeless eyes and reached his hand slowly toward Thor's hammer.
Thor was struggling as he couldn't move while Leo put his hand on the hammer which made Thor widen his eyes as veins popped on his head.
"DON'T YOU DARE!!!" Thor screamed to the top of his lungs as his divine thunder shined brightly before he turned into thunder and escaped 'Leo'.
Lightning traveled across the layer as it arrived next to Vidar before Thor appeared.
"Dammit... That was close" Thor was breathing heavily as he escaped 'Leo', but Vidar widened his eyes when he saw Mjolnir.
"Brother, Mjolnir!" Vidar said as Thor looked at Mjolnir and saw his deformed with a handprint on top of it.
With one touch, the mighty hammer Mjolnir was deformed, which made Thor realize that his hammer would have been gone if he didn't back away.
'Leo' saw Thor left, but he didn't care as he lowered his hand and stood there with his wings moving slightly.
"What in the name of Odin is th-*COUGH!!*..." Thor didn't finish his words as attacks appeared on his body from different places, but all those attacks had the shape of a hammer.
Thor's armor was cracked as he almost fell to the ground, but his divine power acted quickly as he recovered some of the injuries.
"Thor!" Vidar wanted to support Thor, but he couldn't move in fear of 'Leo' attacking. However, Thor shook his head and stood up.
"I'm fine, but those were my attacks" Thor smiled helplessly as he didn't know how to fight something he can't hurt without hurting himself before he said " Did you notice anything"
"Nothing important..." Vidar shook his head before he said " But it seems like it's waiting for something"
"Waiting for something? All this power and it's still waiting for something?!" Thor almost dropped the hammer on Vidar's head.
"I know it's ridiculous, but this is all that I can come up with" Vidar avoided the hammer while showing a helpless look.
"*Sigh* Anyway, this seems bad" Thor clenched his hammer as it was bringing him a sense of security while Vidar said " Yeah, very bad"
Meanwhile, the same conversation was going on in the Chat Room.
[NEET Princess: This is bad]
[Bis Sister Lion: I don't know what's happening, but I don't like it]
[Bri-Bri: This looks bad]
[Advocate of gender Equality: The goddess next to me is awakening PTSD, and I don't like where this is going]
[The Strongest Man In The World: He grew wings?]
[A Hero For Fun: He became a birdman?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: That's not important, but look at this... Thor was one-shot!!]
[NEET Princess: Mjolnir was almost gone too]
The group witnessed Thor's pitiful attempts as they felt bad for the guy more than they were worried about Leo. They really couldn't be worried about the invincible looking angel standing there.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: So Kaguya-san... Tell us what happened!!]
[NEET Princess: Why do you think I know what happened?!]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: You know the angels' things and have the internet, so tell me what happened!!]
[Bri-Bri: Can you two stop and think about the important things? Like forgetting about the angels and thinking about Leo?]
[Big Sister Lion: I don't think we can know and Leo isn't here. Even his Chat Room screen is gone]
The group noticed that the Chat Room screen around Leo vanished as there was only an angel standing there.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Yeah, I don't think we can know anything now... Where's Leo when things go this bad?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I'm here and the things are terrible]
[NEET Princess: Yeah, if only Leo is here to explain it himself]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Don't count on me, I'm clueless as you are, but I have some theories]
[Bri-Bri: Yeah, if only Leo was here]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin):.....]
Kazuma, Kaguya, and Misaka sighed as they looked at the screen and saw the username.
"PFFFFF!!!" Kazuma spit his beer again as he almost fell from the chair.
Kaguya broke another monitor as she stared at the Chat Room screen floating above the dead monitor screen.
Misaka's Esper powers activated from the surprise as she fried the vending machine next to her.
[Advocate Of Gender Equality: Leo!! what the hell?!]
[NEET Princess: Aren't you a crazy bloodthirsty angel now?!]
[Bri-Bri: What is happening?!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Bold of you to assume I'm crazy bloodthirsty angel, even if that's the situation now]
[NEET Princess: Okay, stop with the jokes! Where are you now? I only see a crazy angel creating chaos across the world]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Fallen angel, something wrong happened to the ritual]
[Bri-Bri: Can you answer the question?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I'm in a dark place, hanging upside down, by some sort of a black, jelly, long, and weird-looking... Tentacles]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): You're excused, but this is the truth]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Excuse me?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Wait!! How did you answer before my question?!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Because I know, and if you wanted to see, then push a button at the screen's side]
The group followed the instruction as the screen split into two. One was showing the chaos in Asgard, and the other one displaying Leo, hanging upside down by tentacles made from black lines.
Leo was staring at the Chat Room screen with blank eyes, but the group noticed something weird. Like he was very calm, unnaturally calm.
"At least don't take photos in my face" Leo said with a calm tone as Kazuma, Kaguya, and Leone flinched.
[Big Sister Lion: Okay, this is weird!! How the hell did you know?!]
[Bri-Bri: *Sigh* I'll just ignore the tentacle and ask nicely in the place of these guys... Can you say what happened and where are you?]
"If you're asking about the outside, then my body is on the auto-pilot and it's working by instinct" Leo released one of his arms from the tentacles before he said " While this place is a combination of my mind and soul or something similar".
"And if you're asking about the hammer guy, then I made all his vectors flawed and broke them before sending his attacks to him after making the time flawed" Leo said calmly while looking at the screen.
Misaka understood that somehow managed to ruin the position, velocity, and force of Thor before sending his attack… By time.
[Advocation of Gender Equality: Mind and soul landscape? But let's focus on something important... What are those tentacles?!]
"Chains, but you don't have to worry" Leo raised his free arm as the light flashed and a book appeared on his hand before he said " I have magic"
[NEET Princess: I wanted to type ' how are you going to escape' but this is getting weird]
[Bri-Bri: Why do you have magic in your mind and how are you going to use it? And yes, this is getting weird]
Leo didn't care about the group as he raised the book and smacked the tentacles while saying " Go and look for a fucking magical girl!!"
"..." The group didn't have a single word to comment about a man smacking some tentacles with a magic book while screaming about magical girls.
The tentacles were weak against the power of the Book of The Law as they were broken in no time and Leo did a free fall towards the darkness.
During the fall, Leo pointed out the Book of The Law down as the darkness cracked like glass and a passage opened.
Leo passed the entrance quickly as he appeared in a chaotic world with everything around the place.
The world was a bunch of places floating in a dark void without any light, but the places were strangely illuminated. The areas were some city streets and some buildings in the middle of houses.
There were some parks, and the group even saw Leo's mansion in the middle of that chaos floating in one of those islands.
After a free fall, Leo did a flip in the air before he started to slow down and landed on one of the islands, but when Leo landed, the whole dark void glowed with some colors as they kept changing.
"....." Leo stared at the colorful dark void before he turned his attention to the Book of The Law, but the group messages arrived now.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: What the hell is going on?! This is very weird and confusing!]
[Bri-Bri: Yeah, and why do you seem very calm in this situation]
"Calm? I can't really force myself to act serious in this situation" Leo shook his head while holding the Book of The Law before he said " Much less to be worried about it"
[Big Sister Lion: What do you mean?]
The situation was getting weirder as the group felt that Leo's actions were very calm to a terrifying degree and all the weird actions until now.
"..." Leo tilted his head before he said " Time and reality for me now are... Very fragile"
[The Strongest Man In The World: Speak normally!]
[A Hero For Fun: I second that]
"*Sigh*Well, it's a little bit fuzzy. But Kazuma, you better move that cup to your left before Aqua hit it and drop it on the ground" Leo said while Kazuma stared at his left to see Aqua shivering and almost hitting the cup of the table.
"NO!!!" Kazuma completely ignored the weird eyes of the adventurers around and jumped toward the cup before it fell to the ground.
"*Phew* That was close, I still have a debt. " Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief when he caught the cup before he said " I should thank L-... Huh?"
Kazuma stared at the cup in his hand and looked at Aqua before he turned his head with his fastest speed towards the Chat Room screen.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW??!!]
[NEET Princess: Are you saying that what he said is correct?!]
"Because I saw it happen..." Leo answered with the same calm tone before he said " I saw it before, when, and after it happened"
[Bri-Bri:... Do you mean... Future, present, and past...?]
The group was shocked now. No, they were beyond shocked, except Saitama that raised his eyebrow.
However, at this moment, the group noticed something they forgot because of the situation with the tentacles.
Leo in front of them has changed. He looks the same as the angel outside with his sky-blue eyes becoming dark blue at the right eye, and golden at the left eye.
But the most distinguishing feature is unlike the angel and its wings, Leo has a golden halo above his head or at least 1/3 from that halo.
It was a golden halo with 6 sharp tips coming from its sides as it gave some members in the group chills.
However, all that doesn't compare to the eyes that seemed to know all, as it made the group feel they are being stared by something they can never explain.
