Legion Resurrected Chapter 26

26.

The Wrath of the Gods

“I say cease the battle.” The new arrival in the armored suit which lends height to over seven feet and a wider frame in proportion to the frame. The suit was bulky and yet fluid in functions. The headgear was a rounded cover with the double wings on the side of it and a narrow visor in the front. The suit was silvery with the dark red stripes on the left side. The gauntlet was a set of thick metal-clad ones with the spikes at the knucklehead.

“I said desist.” The armored figure raised his arms and a wave of energy spread out to battle the demons and Angels with the warriors to the ground. Mother Lilith’s chariot was overthrown and Mistress fell to the ground.

“Who dares....” Her words hung in mid-sentence when she saw the armored figure. She turned to look for the others but all were on the ground. It was only Michael who dares to approach the armored figure.

“You need not come, my Lord. We had it….” Michael was cut off by the one he also addressed as the Supreme. It was rare for the Supreme to appear in the battle suit and be present in the battle.

“Cease the battle.” The Supreme looked to the scattered numbers of his Angels and then at others. He turned towards Bob.

“Aegeus of the Moth Elders.” The Supreme addressed Bob. “I knew you will; intervene in the issue but how you outreached me baffled me.”

“Supreme, you have become zealot with your long influence on the realms. You think yourself the Almighty until the recent emergence of the Celestials brought you to the reality of the realms. You sought Legion for it may be the tool to fight the Celestials.”

“Just as Cronus was defeated by Zeus, I will have the power of Legion by my side.” The Supreme voiced out. The Supreme then looked towards Lucifer.

“Pledge your allegiance towards me once more or die for the resistance. Show me the child named Legion. And the stone. I want it now.”

Lucifer looked at the Supreme and then laughed.

“You are pathetic.”

“Lucifer, you have been a pain in my ranks for too long. I shall have you ….” The Supreme lashed out with the right hand towards Lucifer but the later had moved. Lucifer stood there and called the Supreme to hold on the action.

“You are Almighty in your realm. I have seen your wrath before. I have also sampled your penance of banishment. Behold what I held in my hands.” Lucifer pulled out the Book of Mage.

“The Book of Mage? How could you possess it?”

“I had Azrael removed it for me. I have read it and seen the works of it.” Lucifer replied.

“Insolence! How dare you read what is not to be read by your ranks.” The Supreme snapped back in anger. “Hand me the book now.”

“There is one other who wants to meet you.” Lucifer called out. “Behold another that was before you.”

From among the ranks of the Fallen, a figure stood out.

“I am Aether.” The Fallen stood out from the ranks. It was the frame of a young lady in a green knee length with the blood-covered mallet in the right hand, and the wings at some parts of it, the feathers were removed or torn.

“See me now in this form or the one that fewer had seen.” Aether evolved into the aura of energy that formed into a form of the phoenix. “The phoenix is the mythical being that always rises from the ashes after its demise. It returned more powerful than its predecessor form. I am the Primordial Gods.”

“There is no God before the Old Gods.” The Supreme lashed out with both hands clasped together and a strong energy wave was seen towards Aether. The energy wave did not impact on Aether but dispersed on contact. It was dispersed to the side where it pushed back the warriors and demons a distance away. A clearing was created at where Aether stood while around the clearing the groans and moans of the wounded could be heard.

“Such arrogance, Supreme.” Aether voiced out. “Your war is not with them but with Legion. For that, we shall convene at where Legion is. And end the war there.”

Both Aether and the Supreme vanished into thin air.

Legion

Odyssey pierced Percy’s chest with a telekinetic punch into the heart. The later fell backward and Charlie rushed forth to stand in between the two.

“Woman, who are you to intervene?” Odyssey roared out. “Be off!”

“Fuck you. I am not only a woman and the mother to the child. I am also a bitch that disliked to be considered as weak. That ranked me separately.” Charlie rushed at the Odyssey with her hands reaching out. She was angry and all she knew then was to protect her child. She felt the palm of her hands touched the Odyssey and then with the force she exerted through her hands, the Odyssey was thrown backward to the opened doorway.

“How can that be?” Odyssey picked itself up and looked at Charlie. “Who are you?”

“I was Charlie the mother of the child. But now I am no more Charlie. I am Legion.” Charlie's frame was covered in an aura of energy waves and her eyes were blazing red. “I am Legion, the Creator before the Creation.”

“I ….” Odyssey stood upright and looked at the new form of Charlie. “Legion is …”

“Legion is me. And my role is to vanquish all of you. The New Gods will take over from here.” Charlie glared at Odyssey. “Meet me at the point of creation. Be there or I will have you hunted.”

“I …” Odyssey was whisked away by the flick of Charlie’s right hand. She then turned to look at the child of her’. She was to utter a word before she collapsed on the flooring. Audrey and Jeep rushed over to hold her up and then Charlie’s eyes fluttered.

“My child….” Charlie asked.

“She is …. Fine.” Audrey replied. “Who are you? I mean the real you.”

“She It is my mother. I am Legion.” The voice came from the rear of Audrey who turned to look. In the place of the young girl was then a new frame of a blossomed nude lady standing on her feet. She has the look of her mother and with her blonde hair, lengthen to her waist flowed freely at the back. “Charlie will be fine.”

Kyle grabbed some tapestry off the walls and handed it to Legion. She took it and then had it wrapped around her. Audrey offered to get some clothes for her but Legion declined.

“I had to possess Charlie to challenge Odyssey. That Celestial invent was out of place to challenge me.” Legion replied.

“The moment had arrived for me to put right the workings of the realms and the universe. I will need to act fast for the events are undoing as we speak.”.

“I will need this from Charlie.” Legion stooped over to grab the red stone worn on Charlie’s neck. With that Legion vanished into the air.
