DxD Crawling To The Top

Chapter 48



Title: The Best Way To Destroy an Enemy...




….
Zeus was enraged, he gathered his power, feeling the skies responding to him as a huge storm gathered about. From his point of view, his loving daughter, she never had any interest in anything romantic with either men or women. So Athena running away with Haruto has been suspicious from the very beginning. So Zeus suspects Mind Control or foul play like it, a thousand-year-old Goddess doesn't just fall in love randomly.


A giant lightning bolt appears on his hand. It shines through the sky of the Underworld. "If you release Athena, I will allow you to live." 



Haruto smirks at it. "Heh? What are you talking about? Have you gone senile, old man?"


BOOOM!!!


Zeus shoots his lightning bolt at Haruto, the attack has so much power behind it that any Satan Class Devil, like Serafall's level, would be instantly obliterated.


The lightning bolt moves at such speeds that even amongst the Gods, only a handful of them can keep track of the attack.


Haruto points his palm at the lightning bolt, as it instantly appears in front of his hand. 



BOOOOM!!!



A giant explosion engulfs the forest, razing it to the ground in an instant. A giant crater is made in its place, but as the dust clears out, in the middle of the crater. There is a pillar that Haruto stands on, his arm that he used to stop the lightning is completely charred. This causes him to wince, he can feel that his arm is being constantly destroyed even after the attack. Though Haruto is using his Philosopher's Stone to instantly regenerate it immediately as it is destroyed, so it seems that it is just charred.


The Gods are shocked at how he took one of Zeus' attacks, and not only did he survive. But in their eyes, he has only such a small burn wound.



Fwosh!!!


Countless Gods and Goddesses gather their attacks and throw them at Haruto, who just smiles widely. "C'mon!! Is that all you have?!!"



BOOOOOOOM!!!


A black hole appears in front of him, the space seems to twist on itself. He is living up to his name as Existence Eater, as everything was pulled towards the hole, some lower-class Gods couldn't resist the suction, and one of the Gods of the Rivers helping the Greek Gods is pulled into the black hole and his body is ripped apart,

"H -Help me!!" The God has an elderly appearance and he begs the other Gods to help him, but no one dares get close to the black hole.


The River God's body is ripped to shreds as he begs for his life. Poseidon only looks at this with cold eyes. "How unsightly, a God begging for his life."


The other Gods too, even the ones who are about to be pulled think the same as him. They have their pride as Gods and begging for one's life is considered shameful for creatures who have lived as long as them.



Still, though, Zeus seems enraged as he sees Haruto smirk at him. "What's wrong old man, don't have the balls to attack?"


Veins pop on the elderly God's forehead. But it was true, with the black hole in front of him, no attack would ever reach Haruto. That is the spell that gave him the epithet Existence Eater, which is also the name of the spell. Dye to it being a human magic spell, just the thoughts of calculating something like a miniature black hole makes someone's head work. So it is derived that only Haruto can use this spell. 


"Well, you will eventually run out of magic," is all Zeus says as he waves his hand and a translucent barrier is formed. Stopping the pressure from the black hole dragging any more Gods in it.


"Hm, ~ ain't you brave Gods." Haruto mocks them as he keeps the Black Hole in front of him. "Well, since you won't be doing anything, then I will."


A huge golden aura bursts out of Haruto's body and he starts chanting.


"I, who am about to awaken,
Am the Heavenly Human
Who has stolen the principle
of Perfection from God.
I challenge the Infinite 
And Replace The Dream
I shall become the
 Human to break through my limits
And I will drown you
To the depths of Massacre."


"<GOLDEN JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!!>"




His armor surrounds him, with his crown made of light atop his head with light wings too. In this form, even the strongest Gods behind the barrier feel the pressure.


"Damn… that guy is crazy powerful." Complaints a muscular man only wearing speedos, helmet, and cloak, he has a spear in one hand and a round shield in the other. He is Ares the Greek God of War.



*crack*



A crack appears on Zeus' barrier and everyone flinches at that. Even the maker of the barrier is surprised.


"Impossible!!" Exclaims Zeus, shocked by the outcome. 


"That is the thing that my Sacred Gear makes possible." Smirks Haruto, as more and more cracks, appears along the barrier. There is no attack on it whatsoever, it's just the "random" collapse of a barrier. 


Boom!!


As soon as it explodes, Zeus casually creates another one. "I don't know what you did, but I can make this all day."



"Wow~ are you sure you aren't the God of Cowardice?" Asks Haruto. "Seeing that you are so good at hiding I wouldn't be too surprised."


Zeus is undoubtedly angry at this, but he doesn't say anything. He knows that the Black Hole in front of Haruto is a danger to everyone here as it has already sucked up a mountain in it and it just seems to be getting stronger. Haruto's magic power also doesn't seem to be dropping at all.




"Over a hundred Gods against one human and this is all ya losers amount to?" Questions Haruto, internally smirking as he sees that he has angered a dozen or so Gods and Goddesses.


"Don't talk to higher beings like that human trash!!"

"Be like the rest of you race and beg in front of us!!"


"You are just trash!! Don't get a big head!!"



Haruto cleans his ear with his pinky while still in his armor and shrugs. "Well, I ain't the one outnumbering you cowards. Come and try me."

"We will!!!" Yells one of the Gods and charges out of the barrier.


Zeus tries to stop him and the fools who follow the initial God, but he can't as he noticed in that instant that his barrier is cracking. "You fools!! You are playing right into his hands!!!"



But surprisingly the older god's shout is not heard by the charging Gods, and that is when he sees Haruto smirk under his armor. "Fu*k, the brat planned this all along."



Instantly, the black hole widens from palm-sized to the size of a mountain and the drain on Haruto's magic becomes enormous. But by using the Philosopher's Stone that he has under his tongue, Haruto's Mana is immediately regenerated as it gets depleted.



The dozens of Gods and Goddesses who charged him are instantly engulfed. But four of the Gods can dodge the sudden expansion of the Dark Hole and use their power to stop the others who ran up with them from being sucked in.


A God who has a disorderly brown beard and hair looks at Haruto intently. "Brat, be ready to die."


He is a semi-famous Rock God, who used to be worshiped in ancient times. So he has saved up power, enough to create a large mountain start to fall from the sky...



BOOOOOM!!!!!




But the mountain is stopped by the black hole and sucked in. 



"Tch, how can a dirty ape be so strong?!!" Exclaims the Rock God in shock.



"Well, I ate my veggies when I was a kid." Haruto's voice comes from behind him.

Fwish!!


*stab* 


A sword skewers him through his chest and instantly the muscular God's body starts getting thinner.


"A -Anti D -Divine Weapon?!!" The God of Rocks is shocked by this. Anti-Divine weapons aren't something that one can just find.


But what shocked him, even more, is the golden chains that wrap around him, intently the God's power goes below that of a normal human and Haruto grabs the God by the throat.


*chomp*


And a giant mouth made of darkness comes from the black hole at terrifying speeds, eating the God of Rocks in one bite and going back to the hole.


The other Gods also are surprised by this and Haruto uses this moment to use the chains to trap all of the ones outside Zeus' barrier.



The head of the Olympian Gods looks at this, a worry appears deep hidden within his eyes. Every deity knew those chains… and feat them too. 'Endiku: The God Sealing Chains. The last possessor was Gilgamesh… how the hell did someone like him get them?'



Haruto on the other hand seems casual as he uses a dozen or so Anti-Divine weapons to kill those Gods and store their power on some orbs, throwing them inside storage. He still has a casual smirk on his face. "Hah~ having luck on your side is a really special thing."


*stab*


As soon as he says that, Zeus' eyes widen. He looks down and sees a sword has stabbed right through his chest.


Poseidon who is also next to him is shocked as he looks at the culprit. "A -Ares?!!! What are you doing?!!!"


BOOOOOM!!!


The God of the Ocean uses his trident to smash the God of War on the face, having the man mash into the ground and create a ravine below him.


But Zeus' power starts weakening. Poseidon looks at his brother with worry. "Bro-"



But his words are cut short as in that moment of shock…


*stab* *stab* *stab* *stab*....


Dozens of swords stab into his body, all of them with Anti Divine properties.



Haruto smirks at this. "Obviously I would never get in a losing fight."


Instantly, countless betrayals happen amongst Zeus' ranks. As both Olympian and foreign Gods betray them. Aphrodite smirks at this from the side. 'Oh… I didn't even know of this…'


The other Gods, the ones who had betrayed looked at each other in shock too. Haruto on the other hand smirks, none of them had been informed about anything, they had chosen his side, but they didn't know that they weren't the only allies that Haruto had made in their group.


"The best way to defeat an enemy... is from within." Says Haruto, canceling his Black Hole, and using all of his power in <Telos Karma> increasing the probability of the weaker Gods landing hits with Anti-Divine weapons on the stronger Gods. He uses his Sacred Gear as it was meant to… in many ways.




All of the loyal Olympian Gods are killed within seconds, and like a domino effect, other true allied loyal Gods to the Olympians also immediately start getting killed. 


"Whew~ what a day of hard work." Haruto just looks from the side. 'The magic power consumed almost destroyed one of my Philosophers Stones. But everything worked out okay.


…
…
After every loyal God is killed, the betrayers turn towards Haruto and bow. Aphrodite was in front of all of them.


""""Hail the Existence Eater!!!""""


""""Hail The Irregular Magician!!"""



"Good, good, you guys will be handsomely rewarded." Says Haruto. "Now this will be my first reward."


The Gods look up and they see Haruto holding a shield with Medusa's head mounted on it.


Instantly, all of the kneeling Gods are turned into stone. Haruto points his other hand at them.


<Heat Wave>



BOOOOOM!!!!


They are all also incinerated with a heavy blast of fire.


"As if I was gonna trust you." Says Haruto. "You just betrayed family and people that you have known for thousands of years. I would have to be a fool to trust you anymore."




….
A/N: The MC is strong, but against 100 Gods, each of them with power above normal Satan Class (every God is that strong)... he would have lost in a straight fight. So he enticed every God with treasures behind the scenes.
