Divinity: Against the Godly System

"There's no need to show anything. I already know what you two are capable of. I won't be falling for that," the Goddess of Life and Death said. 

"You!" The Lord of War glared at her. "You'll die at my hands!"

Boom~

Just as the Lord of War was distracted by the Goddess of Life and Death, a body came flying, hitting him in the back. 

"Ouch, that hurt."

The Goddess of Water was also sent flying, only to crash on the God of War. 

She got up. "Are you alright?"

"You as well?" God of War asked, frowning. 

"What do you mean even me? Anyway, you guys are wasting time here. Stop doing that and come with me. We need to stop Janus!" the Goddess of Life and Death declared. 

"Sigh, are you going to tell her?" The God of War rubbed his head as he stood up. 

"We can't go out. We are trapped here. He Sacrificed his Divinity to place this trap. We can't do anything here," the God of Flames declares, sighing. 

"Huh? Trapped?"

The three gods were immersed in talking amongst themselves when the Goddess of Life and Death disappeared. She glanced through the window to see how Janus was doing. 

She didn't want him to face them alone, but she knew there was no choice. They were here for Janus. She couldn't distract them even if she wanted to. That's why Janus had made her promise that she was going to run away when he was distracting them. 

The Gods that were surrounding her palace from all sides had come to the front, leaving the other sides empty. Still, she hadn't run away yet, despite promising Janus. 

She wanted to stretch it as long as possible, hoping for Janus's win even when she knew that it was impossible. 

Just as she had expected, even though Janus had an explosive start, his weakness was now starting to show. After sending three gods to his Trap, he was having a hard time now. 

He wasn't as untouchable as before. His speed was also slower than earlier in this place.

His lips were bleeding as he was punched by the God of Beasts, who had taken the shape of a massive beast. 

"That was a good one," Janus declared as he wiped his lips. He flew towards the God of Beast, gripping his hammer firmly. 

He was really missing his Teleportation at this point. He was at a massive disadvantage because of that.

As he reached the God of Beasts, he raised his hammer high to attack, but he stopped in the middle as he changed the direction to his left. 

Clank~

His hammer blocked the attack of the sword from the Goddess of Destiny; however, this gave the God of Destiny an opportunity. 

He reached out his hand to grab the wrist of Janus from the hand which was holding the hammer. 

He caught Janus before Janus could fly back. 

Janus had a feeling that he was in a mess now. He couldn't Teleport, and he was caught by the God of Beasts. 

He clenched the fist of his left hand, bringing an Aura Sword out of thin air, which he thrust towards the God of Beasts to free his hand. 

Swish~

Before he could even reach the God of Beast, a Sword came slashing. 

"Argh!" Janus groaned in pain. His left hand was sliced from the shoulder. It fell down along with the aura sword as he started bleeding. 

"We want to catch you alive, but that doesn't mean we can't harm you," the Goddess of Destiny let out, licking her lips.

Her Sword was covered in the blood of Janus. 

"Good word," the God of Beasts laughed. He clenched his fist as he punched the chest of Janus with full strength. His punch broke the ribs of Janus, making him scream even more. 

"You traitor! Why are you yelling? Can't bear to take the pain? You can only scheme against us, can't you? Just know, all schemes fail before true strength!" he said proudly. 

"All schemes fail before true strength? Remind me again who is trying to catch me because of their scheme to use me to control my brother? And who dares to claim to have true strength in the presence of my brother?" Janus asked, weakling. Blood kept falling off his lips. 

"You talk too much. Let me help you keep your mouth shut," the God of Beasts declared before he punched the face of Janus. Without his complete Divinity, Janus was even weaker against these attacks. 

His eyes slowly closed as he lost his consciousness. His body lost all strength as blood kept dropping.

"You take care of him. I'll see why the other three still haven't left the palace," the Goddess of Destiny said before she walked towards the Palace of Goddess of Life and Death. She didn't forget to take a couple of other gods with her. 

The Goddess of Life and Death saw the situation of Janus. There was an urge inside her heart to go and save him, but she knew that she wasn't capable. If she didn't run, she was going to waste the sacrifice of Janus. 

Instead, she needed to find Chaos to inform her. 

She walked to the back of the Palace and left through there, disappearing into the unknown. 

The Goddess of Destiny entered the palace. "There you are! I thought something happened to you!"

"Wait! Don't step closer, or you'll be trapped too!" The God of War yelled. 

"Trap?" The Goddess of Destiny muttered, frowning. She looked down to see the formation.

She was just one step away from stepping on the formation and being trapped herself. 

"So that's why you weren't out! That sneaky Janus had placed this trap here. He really thought that he could win with something like this?" She snorted, rolling her eyes. 

"Is he caught?" the God of War asked. 

"He's caught, yeah. Just wait a minute; I'll free you."

"No, wait! Leave others to free us! You need to catch the Goddess of Life! She will run away now that her partner is caught! She was just here a little while ago. She shouldn't be far!" Goddess of Flames said. 

The Goddess of Destiny listened to him and left in search of the Goddess of Life with her other men. She only left one God behind to break this trap so the three could join them too. 

"Now I show that bi*ch that happens to traitors!" The God of War declared as he ran after the Goddess of Life and Death as well. 

The God of Flames didn't go there. Instead, he went to see Janus, their main goal.
