NOVPUBPov Ibuki’s:
My body had become an Incarnation of Starfire, this was the ability that I awakened upon receiving the power of Zenos, with this power I used my body as I wanted during combat, I was in a sea of Insects being controlled by the last 2 Insect Empresses.
In this state I couldn’t use my magic very well, the level of concentration to maintain this state takes a lot of me for now, so I fight just using my skills.
Concentrating on the image of a pair of wings, they form on my back and I use it to propel my body in the direction I discovered traces of the Aura of an Insect Empress.
I open the way with 6 arms 3 times the size of my body having fire blades instead of hands, most of the Bugs were weak with only a few being able to resist my blow, which doesn’t matter since killing them has little importance until I have this Insect Empress’s head in hand.
"< Flames of Dominance >" (I)
This was a skill that I managed to create by accident by mixing Zenos’ Starfire with my Authority and the element of Darkness, this is a skill that needs a lot of Holy Power to use, but it is still very worth it.
My entire body becomes dark with inky black flames, all the stars within the Starfire extinguished leaving only darkness remaining, the shape of my body stopped changing returning to my normal form while my speed slows down as I move forward.
Even with this disadvantage I couldn’t help but smile as my hand swung with cuts of black fire that would fly to kill enemies, those fallen by my attacks would burn until there was nothing left in seconds, leaving only black flames and claws that took the shape of those consumed.
The Black Fire Bugs are loyal to me and attack their former companions, those killed by this Black Fire will suffer the same fate of being consumed by fire until there is nothing left but a fire creature under my control.
Each swing of my swords ends dozens of them and with me performing dozens of blows per second it didn’t take long for a tunnel of fire to form with my fire creatures opening a path for me to the Insect Empress who looked more like a Human woman.
I extend my Aura by fully supplying it before using my skill.
"< Holy Shadow Court >" (I)
I use Holy power on my two swords before swinging them in the opposite direction towards me, my body being made of black fire makes me a creature purely of darkness and shadows, my attack does not hit me and does not sink inside my body before come out of the mouth of the Insect Empress, the only shadow I could see and reach with my Aura.
Her head split into 4 as did the space above her sucking in almost half of her body before closing leaving the rest behind floating in space.
"Now there’s just one more to go..." (I)
Suddenly an Aura hit me and the Bugs like a tidal wave passing through everyone as it expanded in all directions, this Aura was full of anger and fury, I could feel a large amount of Demonic power mixed with Holy Power in this Aura.
When I remembered the Demonic God of Greed, it was when large columns of light appeared in several places, one of them close to me, this was one of the 8 planets.
"Natasha, do you see this?" (I)
"[Natasha is busy, but she said to keep eliminating the bugs.]" (Nicole)
"How are the others? How is the master... I mean, how is Zenos?" (I)
"[We will only know about my Father at the end, but the others are doing well, the insect forces have been almost completely eliminated, and the hidden forces of the Apostles of Truth have already been eliminated.]" (Nicole)
"I see, I’ll finish here in a few more minutes, if you need me..." (I)
"[Hades, Now!!!!!]" (Natasha)
"..." (I)
Suddenly the 8 columns of light became colossal columns of Starfire.

Pov Hades:
Everyone was silent, most were frustrated for not participating more actively in the attack, Cinthia and Nix keeping calm without caring about the attack, Haku was taking notes about something and didn’t seem to care about the plan, but I know that if I am called to action, I will be as serious about it as anyone.
The only one who is silent because she was forced to do so is Layla, her body was being restrained by phantom hands while Hinata was hugging her without showing any expressions.
"If the fight continues like this it will be easier than we expected." (Sakura)
"Everyone is so much stronger, their growth levels are frightening." (Ragnar)
"But we all grew up quickly." (Orion)
"You don’t understand, you are the only one of us who was born as a Divine Beast." (Ragnar)
"Do you mind explaining it to him, Hades?" (Ragnar)
"Is that because I was born in a similar way?" (I)
"Yes, I have a feeling you noticed." (Ragnar)
Of course, I know what they are talking about, Orion would know too if he showed any interest other than eating, hunting, and fighting.
"Those strongly linked to Master Zenos are chained to his power level, this counts as much to suppress the power level of those stronger than him at his level as happened in the past with his 3 sisters, but it also counts to drag down the strength of those linked to it upward until it reaches its level." (I)
"This only counts pure power, it doesn’t take into account combat power that comes from more abstract things like magical knowledge, combat experience, individual talent, etc." (I)
"Just as he said, we as his Familiars and Divine Servants are dragged up with him, but his children and wives are not like that, even his Saints are not like that." (Ragnar)
"They all train harder than you think, especially their wives, Ibuki spends almost all her waking hours training in some way when she’s not with master." (Nix)
"Kira spends a lot of time training with me and my kids." (Sakura)
"Érica spends a lot of time in the library, I have great conversations about magic with her, very different from Nicole who doesn’t leave the laboratory." (Haku)
"Diana trains hard just like the others, the master knows this and supports everyone, even his children work hard in training." (I)
"Following the master’s growth without being linked to him like we are is extraordinary, he is a total monster, and his level of growth is much more than just abnormal." (Ragnar)
I can’t deny what they say, I inherited several of the master’s memories during my birth, I know how abnormal he is in many ways, and that’s why I trust him so much, due to his equally abnormal bad luck, the master forces himself to poke around more and stronger as well as always trying to think of the worst situations to have flexibility in your plans.
"[Hades, I need you...]" (Natasha)
--------------------
I was now alone seeing a Demonic Dragon, its strength level was high and yet it looked like a young Dragon, its Aura was big and heavy but it felt empty somehow.
"How long do I need to wait?" (I)
"[Until they make a move, we’ll only have one opportunity and only you can do that in Zenos’ absence.]" (Natasha)
"I can’t beat that Dragon so quickly." (I)
"[You can take care of him later, but you can’t do that now, just like you he is a Divine Servant or a Divine Beast, anything that happens will alert Greed.]" (Natasha)
"I will wait for your signal." (I)
The place where I am is a disc made of bone scales, in the middle there is a hole where a crystal is floating, this Demonic Dragon is protecting this place, I am hiding from it somehow, but at my first movement towards it or in direction of the crystal will be noticed by him.
"(I won’t be able to teleport to the crystal and it will reach me first, which I have to do.)" (I)
"(Maybe I can...)" (I)
While I was distracted the crystal began to glow a red and purple light shining brighter and brighter until it formed a column of light around the crystal, but soon a burst of power seemed to explode making this column of light quickly expand all over the place, no I know how far it went.
A presence was beginning to emerge from the crystal and it was at that moment that Natasha spoke.
"Hades, now!!!" (Natasha)
This time I ran towards the crystal while preparing myself, just as I imagined, when I reached halfway it appeared in front of me with its claws coming towards me, as it was coming from above a large shadow formed on the ground or was it what I expected, unfortunately, the column of light didn’t leave any shadow that I could use, so I swung my bleeding arm forward.
"< Blood Walker >" (I)
There was already blood on the ground, so when the Demon Dragon’s claw was almost on me, but at that moment my body sinks into the blood at my feet, making me cross the drops of blood near the crystal, passing directly through the Dragon, avoiding a fight that would be difficult now.
