Sophia Demiurge

Chapter 146: Justifying the Urduja Glaze

The army of Leviticus consisted of 100,000 samurais, all of which were clad in Japanese-style armor, they were led by the second hero of Leviticus, Yamato Mamorite, The Lady of Absolute Severance, and to say that she was a coward is a lie, however, she does know her place and immediately marched her army towards the city of Heimdall that is surrounded by 177,000 soldiers, combining the "commanded" force of the Gjallarhornian Army (100,000) and the combined army of the royal and noble force of Urduja (77,000).n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The opposition to this encirclement is approximately 35,000 remaining samurais and united nobility front inside and the backup army given by Leviticus, so about 135,000 soldiers. 

All of these individuals will fight a bloody battle against each other, yet the two individuals directly responsible for their demise seem to not even think about them, no, they do not care about them, they have enough age to feel numb about the death of some hundreds of thousands of people.

They stared at each other, not a hint of aggression can be traced in their faces, yet the water around them seemed to evaporate as the ships swayed by their presence alone.

"So, what makes you march your army here?"

Urduja asked, changing her position from that of sitting into a brazen stand at the very tip of the bow, her kampilan still hanging loosely in her hand, surely she is not looking at Mizukuni at the same eye level, to be expected from the strongest of her race.

"It is none of your business, Urduja-sama."

Mizukuni replied, rather calmly as if he had not just received a disrespect from the person in front of him, like Urduja, he also jumped into the tip of the bow to match the eyesight of the Hero of the Sun, Urduja heard such a response and chuckled, though her voice started to echo, a testament that her nerves have been hit.

"It's my homeland."

This time, it was the turn of Mizukuni to chuckle, at the same time all of the ships on his side started to sway violently alongside the water under them.

"You are invading it."

Urduja need not hold back, it was now the turn of the water beside her as if the remaining land near the shore to quake in the presence of her power alone.

"You mean taking it back?"

Mizukuni did not need nor want to hear more egocentrism from his enemy, he bent down, and just like that, disappeared from the bow of the ship he was in, he then appeared behind Urduja, ignoring the ship he had just destroyed because of his charge, of course, seeing this, Urduja smiled, turned around and parried the katana of the Hero of the Oceans, the impact of the blow made her eyes widen, it was strong!

So strong it was that she was flung away, far and hard, her vision changed immediately from the obliterated ships caused by the great force of the collision to the vast, empty blues.

Meters? Kilometers? No one knows, but Urduja can only agree that she suddenly went from the shore to the middle of the ocean in the blink of an eye, Urduja smiled and raised her hand, at the same time, she saw a samurai, with gills on both sides of his neck appear in the night sky, his eyes are white as if showing his determination to kill her whilst his katana is raised, wanting to make the said determination materialize into results, however, Urduja who is starting to fall into the water remained unfazed, she slowly curled her fingers, except her index that is now pointing in the sky.

The man on top of her then muttered.

"You never changed... you are always a dog of your deity..."

Like always, Urduja had already touched the water and smiled.

"At least my god's not dead."

Such were her words as she raised her kampilan once again and defended herself with the seemingly all-cutting blade of Mizukuni, and just as expected, the force of the slash caused Urduja to be punched into the seafloor, corals, fishes, and monsters that are supposed to be invincible in their turf died because of the sheer impact and speed of Urduja's collision with the seabed, not only that, a 100-meter wide hole in the ocean's surface was created, causing a massive circular tidal wave to happen that is slowly turning into a cataclysmic tsunami.

The waters from the northwest to the northeast shores of Genesis as well as the southwest and southeast coast of Leviticus started to retreat rapidly, yet the two individuals who would be causing a mass extinction event in a few moments did not care, Urduja, for one had still her smile, she whispered.

"Look, it's morning."

[God's Finger]

As she grabbed the waist of the Japanese guy on top of her, she muttered, causing Mizukuni to become alarmed as he recoiled in futility, he looked at his back, only to see the sun, falling from the sky above, and no, it was not a ball of fire, it was, the sun, scaled to the point that it will not lose its gravity while also not being capable of destroying the planet, descending for all the world to see, and as Urduja have said, it's as if morning already dawned.

All of the common soldiers who are fighting, the armies of other continents who are tense due to the chances that the continental war in Genesis will spill on them stopped what they are doing in awe as they saw the darkness slowly losing its influence as the miniature sun, summoned by the one dubbed as it's hero slowly descended in the middle of the ocean.

All of the children of Urduja who stopped their waving of weapons or weaving of magic never saw Urduja use even a small fraction of her power, not even Eleanor or Aoi themselves, they stood frozen, their mouth agape, as well as their opponents and looked at the direction of the oh-so-disturbing light.

_So that's why mother is being feared... we are very spoiled._

The new calamity Sophia and the false prophet Aerendil are still continuing their fight, though their mind went into a little daze.

_I should be thankful that Urduja is not the one in front of me._

_Mommy-by-law is that a fucking sun?_

You can guess who said what in that, and that is what all they can say because the sun finally descended down its target, it hit Mizukuni who was held by the clone of Urduja that already melded with the sun, he flickered as fast as he can, but he was still grazed by the sun that exploded without apparent restraint, a massive mushroom cloud, made out of water vapor and debris from beneath the ocean engulfed the whole Genesis and Leviticus continent, the explosion caused a worldwide massive, yet instant earthquake, and if not for the fact that the planet of Pentateuch has denser core that can infinitely harness mana, a nuclear winter would have been underway after this.

It was fortunate that the planet got out of that calamity with just a rapid decrease in sea levels and intense rains for the next months.

They don't even need to deal with prolonged earthquakes.

Loki and Eris who are above their airspace watching all the fight unfold are silent.

_Mizukuni is really brave, without having any counter against that falling sun, he still challenged Urduja... his memories will be remembered._

Urduja's real body appeared, floating casually just a few meters above the ocean she had just evaporated, in front of her was a Mizukuni with half of his hakama torn whilst half of his body was slowly regenerating from literally being evaporated by the explosion, he panted hard as he glared at Urduja.

He had to escape to the ends of Leviticus to not be heavily injured by that nuclear attack, yet he did not rest, Mizukuni slowly dropped his katana into the ocean, causing the water to shine and as it shone, all of the raging tsunamis that threaten three of the five continents of the world stopped and calmed down.

"Hmm, as always, you are very adept in controlling the oceans, and your powers in general, in that regard you are better than me."

Urduja praised, but soon, he frowned as she found herself in the middle of a giant water wall, she looked up and saw Mizukuni clap his hands.

[Floodgates to Hell]

As soon as the man said that, the water wall quickly dispersed, transforming into an encirclement of weapons of all kinds, bladed, blunted, teethed, pointed as well as projectiles, seemingly all weapons in existence were made into shape by the supposed to be a wall made out of water, and without warning they charged at Urduja, one blade after another seem to try and race on who will first puncture the light armor of the great hero of the sun.

Well, unfortunately for these weapons, Urduja is unfazed, it was as if they did not exist in the first place, she also clapped her hands, causing a semi-solar corona to erupt in a ring formation with her as the epicenter.

[Solar Ring]

Such were the words Urduja muttered, yet it was not enough for the water weapons above her that continued to pelt themselves towards her, Urduja subconsciously started to raise her free hand but reckoned that any more geographical change in the planet would affect her continent, so she just so casually flung her sword upwards, causing a solar corona arc to appear and assault all the water weapons, evaporating them.

Mizukuni dodged with gritted teeth as he saw the corona arc go towards him.

_Just now... she decided to not use [God's Finger] anymore... does she really think she has the luxury to be lenient about the environment when she's fighting me?_

Mizukuni will not believe it, he will never believe it, even though he has personally witnessed the full power of Urduja before, in fact, he wished that even for a second he would be able to make her draw it for another second. Such were his thoughts as he pointed his two fingers towards Urduja, suddenly three water tridents one above his head and two beside him in the left and right direction materialized, all of which were at least 100 meters in length.

[Fangs of Ryujin]

Such is what he muttered before making the trident above his head move towards Urduja, the speed by which it charged is contradictory to its size for almost in an instant, it reached the place where Urduja was first in, unfortunately, its target was not hit for she have long disappeared from his spot.

[Sun's Avatar]

Mizukuni suddenly heard such a word, and suddenly, a yellow-colored, scorching giant-like mana construct materialized, it was the perfect replica of Urduja, except that it didn't speak, the avatar immediately swung its mana made kampilan towards Mizukuni, the man in question need not to be targeted before he immediately ordered the two other tridents by his side to attack the head of the construct while immediately dodging the kampilan.

This time, the avatar is not as fast as the original as it was hit in the head which also served as its core squarely without much resistance, causing it to dematerialize.

"You have grown to be quite capable."

A voice was suddenly heard in the back of Mizukuni and an extreme sense of danger washed over his back, he immediately dived down into the ocean as he saw Urduja plunge her blade into the place he was previously in.

"Unfortunately I am starting to get bored, so I will have to finish this fight right now."

Urduja once again raised her blade and swung it down, causing now not an arc, but a lion made out of scorching hot solar materials to materialize and charge toward Mizukuni, Mizukuni was agitated by what seemed like a casual declaration of strength by Urduja.

_You never change... such arrogance... I will make it your demise!_

Mizukuni raised his hand, after which a hydra made out entirely of water appeared, its huge body caught Mizukuni and his numerous heads roared as it attacked the lion of Urduja, Mizukuni knew that the hydra would not be able to hold on, so he immediately got out of its back and silently watched how the hydra evaporated into nothingness.

Mizukuni is unfazed, he is determined to take down Urduja, however, it seems that reality wanted to slap him hard, for as he was about to absorb the gigantic amount of steam created by the lion, two massive glowing hands appeared in his two sides, both are seemingly 100 meters in height, the palms of the hands were outstretch and in those palms were countless chains that have daggers on their sip, they immediately shoot out and stabbed themselves towards Mizukuni who, somehow felt like time had frozen.

He did not even react even after the daggers in the chains plunged from one side of his flesh to the other.

[The Heavenly Tribulation of Sinag]

Only after Urduja said such words out loud and the lion that evaporated the hydra came out of the smoke it created and charged towards Mizukuni that the man was finally able to register the pain of having one's blood drawn from seemingly all directions of one's body.

"ARRRGH!"
