BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - Synchro-skill
Soon vast energy was being absorbed by the Twin Gods, Abaddon and Gaea. Due to them using vast amounts of divine energy, the Silver Moores started to show life once again and slowly it returns to being a lush forest and not a swamp. The twin gods who started the creation of the universe was affecting their surroundings just by channeling power to themselves. Argent started losing what was left of her mind and burned her soul just to manifest a barrier. The barrier she manifested using her soul was the reflection of her very own soul which was black as night and even had some type of screaming faces. The two best friends who saw this could only utter one word.
"GROSS"
The two best friends then shifted their attention to the twin gods who were building their power. The twin gods could be seen with floating orbs in their hands. The orb in Abaddon\'s hands was colored gray with streaks of white swirling in a perfect sphere. Gaea\'s orb was colored green and had streaks of white swirling in it.
A few seconds later a creature with what you could only call an abomination appeared a few meters away from the twin gods. The abomination looks like a creature that was the combination of several octupi and squids. It uses it four tentacles each to form what is equivalent to a human\'s limbs. Its body was an ever squirming mass of tentacles that would horrify a person to never eat a squid or an octopus ever again.
"If this was real, even I would barf. Even if we are already used to horror that creature there would definitely win creature of the year in any film festival or any other expo." Marlon said with a face with slight disgust.
"Well the Dark Gods or the Corruptants are not really known for their looks aren\'t they." Adrian replied while still observing the crystal ball.
The abomination jumped from where he was standing towards Argent to act as another shield instead of trying to attack the twin gods when the abomination saw the twin gods, Abaddon and Gaea, fusing the two spheres together to form a giant ball of energy. The giant ball of energy emanated an energy that was so fearsome even the dark god that possessed the abomination abandoned its current host and started transferring the remaining parts of its soul to Argent\'s body while its husk remained there to protect Argent\'s body from the initial strike.
The twin gods then thrust their arms forward and spoke the spell\'s name.
" Void Demolition "
When the twin gods, Abaddon and Gaea, shouted those words, a beam of energy with streaks of gray and green with speckles of white was fired from the giant ball of energy. The beam was fired so fast and so powerful that the grass that grew was obliterated without even leaving molecules. The beam then landed on the abomination and what happened put the two best friends in great shock.
"The...The....that...thing just....got disintegrated like nothing. It did not even showed a bit of resistance." Adrian exclaimed while still glued to the crystal ball.
The two best friends thought that the same would happen to the barrier but were surprised it managed to endure the blast to a certain extent maybe at least a second at most until it broke like feeble glass. When the barrier broke, Argent could be seen frothing at the mouth and no longer had resistance and had eyes like that of a dead fish. It is understandable that is what has happened since the barrier that she erected was powered through the very essence of her soul itself. It would turn any other normal person into a vegetable regardless of her being a legendary named NPC.
It was at that time that the dark god who planted its god essence into Argent got control of of Argent\'s body because of Argent\'s broken soul. It was not able to fully possess Argent\'s body as a part of her soul still lingered and still has some control to her body but the dark god managed to control her mana manipulation and erected another barrier using its divine mana. It manage to hold up the beam for a few seconds before the barrier started cracking.
The barrier finally broke but the dark god managed to teleport out to safety but was still hit by the beam momentarily.
" So the rat managed to escape us brother" Gaea said.
" It is still acceptable dear sister. We managed to wound him. A wound like that would still tale years to recover and would render that dark god into slumber which would give time for our champion enough time to finished the job." Abaddon replied.
" You are right dear brother. We must not stay for long or the mortal realm\'s barrier will not hold any longer and we might bring other pests in. Also, we should not exert our vessels too much or else they would die." Gaea said with still a bright tone.
A few seconds later black smoke and green light escaped from the two best friends\' avatar and was whisked back to the sky. The two best friends\' soul was then ejected from the divine realm and once again joined back to their bodies. Then two new world messages appeared.
[The God has ascended back to the divine realm.]
[The Goddess has ascended back to the divine realm.]
This world message once again shook the whole Pandemonium community but not in a good way since they wanted to at least meet the gods and by a tiny bit of chance and hope earn a little bit of blessing. Still the new world message did not deter them from searching where those gods landed. There might be some crumbs they could at least pick up right.
=======================
A few moments after being teleported away from being fully hit by the dangerous disintegrating beam of the twin gods. A woman was seen without a right arm and her right leg. It was perfectly erased that not even blood was dripping on the damaged holes as if it was stopped magically.
" Those twin gods!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! I will raze this universe that you two love so much!" Argent said or more specifically the dark god ,Veldrax, who possessed her said. She then spoke again, " But first I would need to recover my strength. A few years in slumber is but a a second for a god.". Then dozens of tentacles sprouted from the ground and formed a wriggling cocoon with her inside.
=====================
[Your soul has returned to your body.]
[Your body is in critical condition due to being strained both physically and spiritually.]
These were the two notifications seen in the system prompt of the two best friends. Their health was in the single digits and they had the weakened status condition. They wanted to exit the dungeon but was astounded by the skill they learned.
[You have learned the synchro skill \'Void Demolition\'.]
They seemed in a daze but snapped back into existence when another system prompt appeared.
[ All users will be logged out of the game in five seconds. All progress will be saved and those inside dungeons can resume once they re-logged back to the game. Those inside a dungeon and fighting the boss monster will be transferred outside the boss room and would be able to re-battle the dungeon boss with the same stats before being logged out.]
[You will now be logged out. Sorry for the inconvenience.]
The two did not even had a glimpse of their new skill\'s description before they got logged out.
=====================
The game pod opened and Adrian went out of it. He closed the game pod back again and clicked the sanitize function of the game pod so that it would be clean once he steps in again. Adrian was feeling great and went to his bed to start chatting with Marlon about their adventure. He called Marlon and a few moments later Marlon picked up the call and had an energetic tone in his speech which indicates that he was so excited.
" I could not believe we got a new skill but what the heck is a Synchro Skill?" asked Marlon in a puzzled tone.
" If I would guess that would probably be the skill that the twin gods, Abaddon and Gaea, used on Argent." Adrian answered.
" Are you serious! That is awesome we get an overpowered skill like that!" Marlon said excitedly.
" That overpowered skill probably has strict restrictions and we would probably not be able to use it yet." Adrian said dropping a bucket of water unto Marlon\'s excitement.
" Aishh. You know I really hate that buzz kill personality of yours." Marlon said in a displeased tone.
Adrian sighed and the started exuding an excited energy and started talking, " OMG! We got a skill that even gods use. I mean what could be cooler than that!"
The two best friends started a night long conversation while the rest of the player base was feeling dejected.
