Chapter 290: Destruction of the Olympians Part 11: Empresses and Queens
(General POV)
Location the God of War World-Macedonia/Greece, Corrupted Plains Battlefield, Chaos vs Olympians
The Olympians were losing badly...their only forces now being the amazons that were wavering with the easy death of Bia, and they sensed the power of...no greater than Ares within the Blood God.
Not only did that mean that Lord Ares was slain, but also this new War God came to the battlefield with the badly beaten Lady Athena, as well.
Many wished to forsake the weaker Gods for a true War God, but their queen,Hippolyte, the golden armored and haired mortal Goddess that was facing a Bloodthirster on her own, refused to break away from the Olympians no matter what. (For reference Hippolyte looks like her Wonder Woman Movie counterpart.)
Soo the amazons honor bound to their Queen, kept on fighting against the Legions of Khorne.
In another area, specifically the battle between Ruu against Hercules and Pavor, Ruu was playing with both Hercules and Pavor, but eventually she got bored no matter how physically stronger and more skilled they are then her, it matters nothing if they can't hit her.
Shape-shifting her body to avoid her playmates attacks, and using her hyper nature and greater agility to evade those attacks as well.
As the Slime Queen launch her attack, like a fired harpoon that Hercules managed to dodge but not Pavor, she struck at Pavor stabbing her blade shaped right hand straight through his chest.
He fell to his knees, bleeding from his wound as Ruu changed herself into spike ball and slingshot herself at Pavor, smashing against the Son of Ares.
The impact sent Pavor flying, bouncing off the Olympian the Slime Goddess reverted to her original for, which left Ruu alone against Hercules for a while as she retrieve her arm.
She looked at Hercules who stood covered in cuts, holding the huge marble club ready to keep on fighting, he spew stupid banter that he'll kill her and be granted the deserve honor of finally joining the ranks of the Gods!!!
All Ruu did in response was chuckle which turned into full on laughter, which was starting to piss off Hercules as he smashed his club like a mindless savage on the ground, demanding Ruu to stop laughing, which only made Ruu laugh more hysterically as she responded while still laughing, "Stophahahaha ohh please hahahaaha stop talking!!! I can't breatheHahahaha!!!! You a God!? Hahahahahaahahaa!!!! Hilarious!!!" her words enraged the Son of Zeus!!!
Hercules ran towards the chest holding Ruu, with magical club held high above his head.
He swung his club in a downward cross which Ruu easily evaded with a sidestep and hooping onto the club and with her hands turned into sharp slime-claws, she swiped at Hercules leaving eight crossing slashes on the Demigod's chest.
Grunting in pain, as the Hero of Greece swung Ruu off his weapon and she excitedly soared through the air and landed with ease, as Hercules rub his hand on his new wounds, hissing in the stinging pain as he saw the blood on his hand and growled out in rage, as he charged like Creatan Bull at the Slime Queen.
This was the only battle or duel that was happening on Macedonia, Artemis was desperately trying to take down Ragna but all her shots were practically useless against the Rampaging Goddess.
That's when Ragna sighed placing her fists on her waist, closing her eyes and she shuke her head, as she thought this fight was going on for far too long, and it was quite a disappointment for her...soo she decided to end it now.
She waited for the eagle riding Olympian, to get into range as she focused her dark powers through her right clawed, massive hand once Artemis swoop down with her arrow drawn and aimed at Ragna's third forehead eye, only for Ragna smirk at her which perturbed the Goddess of the Moon.
Right in Ragna's range she swung her fist at a speed that neither Artemis or her eagle familiar could track or react against, but just as the black fist was almost upon the Huntress Goddess, Ragna stopped her punch and open her hand.
Once she did the bright red energy was released from Ragna's hand in a "small" burst that consumed Artemis and her eagle in the red blast.
The blast obliterated the giant eagle, as it burned Artemis' red hair, silk skin, and green forest armor.
Soo intense and powerful was Ragna's blast that it completely knocked out Artemis as she began to fall to the earth below...until, Ragna caught her in her left open hand, three times the size of the Olympian.
Finally the little nuisance was in her grasp, as Ragna crushed Artemis within her hand the sound of bones breaking, and armor being crushed echoed out of Ragna's hand immediately walking Artemis up, screaming in utter blood gurgling pain as her body was completely broken.
Seeing she has won and dealt with the famed Goddess of the Hunt, Ragna she tossed her away, as trash commanding the laharlish daemons to deal with the bitch and restrain her.
She shrunk down as she was yet to have her fill of battle and ravishing her enemies forces, so Ragna cracked her bones and rushed back to the main battle.
But at the southern edge of Macedonia was Hera in her giant form and her gigantized protector Argus, as she watched from the back as her servent and enforcer crushed the drake riding, black, armored creatures (Slaughter Calvary) all with a amused look on her beautiful face.
She laughed as she believed herself superior to all the Olympians gathered there, she saw the defeat of two bastards Artemist and Athena, which brought some amusement to her since she couldn't harm any of her "husband's" bastards once they became Gods but their current state was hilarious to the Queen of Olympus.
Of course Hera she saw as her ugly son, Hephaestus was broken and captured, while that useless Bia was killed by the Blood God, called Khorne.
Hera was furious that traitors have emerged and joined the damned invaders, but she calmed herself as her main strategy in this war, is to let the weaklings pawns and her subjects tire and weaken the Chaos Gods soo she can swoop in and exterminate them all.
As she saw Helios was fighting against the short, winged, dirty green skinned brigant, (Jade Emerlhyde) who just stabbed her weird axe? (wrench) into the caft of yet another of Zeus' bastards.
Then she saw Jade use the other weapon pointing it at the back of Helios but as she fired the powerful blast (shotgun blast) Helios barely evaded it by spinning to the right, Hera was intrigued by this Goddess magical weapon she that if Hephaestus survives she'll have him refit the weapon for her and her standards.
Whilst distracted Argus grunted (I don't know if the Argus talos actually make sounds in Smite or myth, soo I just made him like a basic golem, that grunts) catching Hera's attention before she could annoying ask her guardian, "what's was the matter with him?" Hera saw a crimson aura, scarlet sword pierced through Argus nearly reaching her.
Hera jumped back in surprise, using her staff she opened a portal that was swallowing her damaged guardian to recuperate as the red blade was pulled and with Argus no longer there she saw who tried to dare, attack her!!!
A yellow haired, golden gauntlet and greaves baring, red horned, winged, and dressed Goddess, Hera remembered her name...Cassandra Crimsontear.
Cassandra was dealing with dreks until now, for she requested personally to face Hera and all throughout the battle Hera has been hidden away like a coward, instead of leading the battle like a queen...like an empress, like herself, her sister-wive, and her sisters-in-law.
Cassandra crossed her arms under her large bust, sighing as she said to Hera, "I'm disappointed. I expected more from an a Empress...instead, I see a cowardly noble unable to fight for herself..." Cassandra's words enraged Hera, as she unleashed her fury causing some disturbance in the sky and area, along with some earth shaking.
Hera tightened her grip on her staff causing some micro cracks to form on her foci/weapon as she spoke with a mature, dignified sounding voice filled with clear rage, "Me...weak? I'm...A Coward!!? HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE QUEEN OF OLYMPUS!!!? I'LL TEAR YOUR EYES OUT, AND HANG YOU FROM MOST JAGGED ROCK WHILE THE BIRDS FEAST UPON YOU, FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!!!"
Hera unleashing a magenta and burgundy color electric like magical energy through her arms and staff, as Cassandra only smile as she turned slightly and pointed her longsword downward at her opponent, (think Saber/Nero fighting stance) at it seems that her opponent has some sort of dignity and traits of a Empress, Cassandra struck first with a rising left cross slash that Hera backstepped out of range, only for the Crimson Empress to use the momentum of her swing to spin herself forward for downward right cross slash, which Hera used her staff to block...partially...
Hera hissed in pain, as that bitch, Cassandra, she managed to cut her wrist from the previous attack.
This further irritated the Queen of the Gods, as she swiped at Cassandra with her staff a couple of times, with a burst of magic forming a ball of burgundy and magenta was shot at her enemy.
Only with a crimson burst from Cassandra to block against Hera's magical attack.
Cassandra slash in a right wide arc, that was again blocked by Hera as the scarlet blade was bursting with crimson energy against Hera's staff.
While Hera grinded her teeth using her strength against the vile witch that insulted her and dared to insult her as well.
Hera's anger cause more of her magic to become wild and erratic, while Cassandra was calm, collected and calm like a regal queen of war, her smile and beauty were only fueling Hera's rage, when she felt a kick to her right side launching Hera away from the blow.
As she rolled on the corrupted ground via the blow that Cassandra gave her, she started channeling and casting her spell, summoning fort a giant magical projection of a Peacock with its tail feathers and wings spread in a bright magical aura, Hera stopped rolling and immediately thrust her staff sending the peacock magical projection/projectile at Cassandra. (Think Atsuma from Enchanted Arms, Mega Phoenix attack but more Hera like.)
Cassandra saw the incoming attack and manipulate the blood gold that is stored in her golden clawed-gauntlets to form a liquid golden shroud over herself, soo when the giant peacock swallowed her, she was completely protected from all damage.
While Hera was mostly sure her attacked has killed if not emencelly wounded, she was no one's fool as insurance she'll call her guardian back, as she could sense that Argus has recovered enough to be re-summoned and used against the damn invading Goddess, Cassandra Crimsontear!!
Hera stealthily started conjuring fort a portal behind Cassandra's position, as the area was starting to clear from the giant magical aftermath of Hera's attack, revealing liquid gold dome that started to move and eventually recede into the gauntlets of Cassandra, revealing said Chaos Goddess completely unharmed.
Cassandra chuckled lightly, spinning her longsword a couple of time before returning to her stance, and asking Hera, "Is that all the "Queen of Olympus" can give?" Hera's vains showed and twitched on her forehead.
Enraged but she...slightly...calmed down, as her plan was still in motion, as the portal was opened and coming throught it was her guardian Argus in nearly mint condition, silently stalking behind her opponent.
Hera stood up dusting herself as she said to Cassandra, "Now it's time for you to know your place..." Hera took a pause as she watched Argus standing over Cassandra, with arms ready to strike her down, when Hera noticed a great shift in temperature, it was cold enough to see breathing, and snow started to fall.
This confused Hera believing that Boreas must be causing mischief but her assumptions were soon proven wrong when, Argus was strucked on the right shoulder joint by giant axe that looked to made from fine/corrupted silver and ice, the blow forced Argus to it knees as Cassandra didn't looked shocked or surprised as she spoke, "While I'd preferred to do this on my own. I'm grateful for the aid sister."
The axe (Skadi) was torn out the colossi which revealed the light brown skinned, and silver, violet tinted haired beauty of Crystallyl Shik'Adammine, that has come to aid her sister-wife against Hera.
Crystallyl didn't waste time chopping at Argus over and over each blow not only causing considerable damage, but also frost and ice to spread through the strike areas.
Eventually her brutal assault managed to chop off the right arm from the shoulder of Argus.
Causing Argus grunt out in pain, bursting out mana from the wound, then Crystallyl slashed widely at the waist/belly of Argus, forcing the colossi to back step to avoid more, strikes and ice-chops to its form.
Crystallyl appearance shocked Hera, as she commanded her guardian to step next to her.
They were standing in front of each other, as they were about to continue fighting...
Back on the ground, the Amazon Queen, Hippolyte has just killed the Bloodthirster she was fighting against.
Just when she was about to lead her amazons to go, further in the battlefield a boisterous laugh and clapping was heard, immediately the amazons got in their guard and were ready to face the upcoming threat...but when they saw the black skined, white haired horned, three-eyed Goddess coming towards to them, it was Ragna Kaalika the Chaos Goddess of Rampage, now the size of a mortal.
Ragna came and exclaimed she was there to fight, and upon seeing a mortal like Hippolyte able to kill a Greater Daemon of Khorne, it has earned her interest and pointed at the Amazon Queen saying, "You!!! I hope you put up a better fight than that archer, bitch, Artemis!!!!" Hippolyte growled at the vile invader and dark Goddess before her.
Hippolyte pointed her Gladius at Ragna, commanding her amazons to strike down the false Goddess...only for her sisters and subjects to stay their and ignore her command, instead they walked away forming basically a ring, with them representing the edge of the ring.
Saying that they were servents to the Gods, and the Olympians have been unfair and cruel to them, forcing them away from the rest of the world or any worthy battle, it was time for them to change and prosper under greater Gods.
It was time for their Queen to prove which Pantheon was more worthy of serving, this made Ragna smirk her jagged teeth, while Hippolyte was furious.
With the obvious battle about to happen, the khornate daemons respected the battle between one of the Carnage Goddesses, and the warrior human queen, soo they left the area to join Khorne, Ioke, and Alastor as they laid waste to the rest of the battlefield.
