She sighed and looked at the armor she was wearing, it was a soul weapon Athena gave her, and the ability she gave to it was Morgan's ability, so that armor could absorb twenty five percent of the strength of an attack, and that's without mentioning its own defensive power as it was made of some of the rarest and most precious materials in the world.
It was also the only reason why she was still alive.
Actually the reason she didn't try avoiding was simply because she couldn't, she saw the gun being aimed at her and she knew that she had to try avoiding it, yet the soldier's movement were too fast for her because of the armor, she could only watch as he started firing at her.
The soldiers soon returned to their senses and decided to finish her in one last attack as she seemed way weaker than they had thought.
Susan understood what they thought but she didn't care, she just kept on looking at her feet, she understood that Athena won't let anything bad happen to her, and that she had already got the answer that she wanted, whatever it was, that is.
And just as she expected, even before having the chance to lift their weapons, the four soldiers become big pieces of ice.
As her head was looking down Susan caught a glimpse of her hair, seeing the almost unnoticed red, she bit her lips, she knew that she would have been able to win against them, or at the very least she wouldn't have lost that badly if it was any day but that day...
As she was lost in all those thoughts she felt a hand on her head, looking up she saw Athena standing next to her.
"You shouldn't feel sad or anything like that, you only need to know who to control your ability, you only need to deal with the hindrance of time, and it will become one of the strongest abilities in the Frozen North, you only need to work a little bit harder " Athena said as their eyes met.
Susan felt that the hand on her head was warm, even though she knew that it was actually as cold as ice.
"And... I apologies for what just happened, I thought that if I pressured you in your weakest state you would be able to break through the limits of your ability and bypass this weakens that you have." After a while of silence Athena's voice sounded again.
"I'll work, hard I'll control it, I'm sure of that so don't worry about me." Susan said.
"I know." Athena answered before getting on top of the Northern Eagle.
Susan followed behind her too after wiping the tears that were on the corner of her eyes, she then controlled her ability as her hair returned to its normal blond color, sheathed her sword, and got on top of the Northern Eagle before they flew to another part of the battlefield.
Susan watched as the other six Gods destroyed everything that stood on their way.
Lana's power that protected many people and also destroyed many ships and other machines, Ethan's flame that melted almost everything in its way.
Lucas and his powerful control over the ground, as he kept on changing the ground under the feet of the enemies and sometimes even making holes appear in the ground out of nowhere, consuming those soldiers and vehicles before closing up without leaving any trace.
Actually what he was doing wasn't just killing the soldiers of the other Area as he was also doing his best to change the place around there to make it more advantageous for them in the coming fights.
There was also Snake who was walking between the soldiers of Area 01 as if he owned the place, he didn't care about them at all, he just kept on walking and every soldier in a reduce of five hundred meters around him would drop to their death, he was one of the people with the most kills there.
Carlos's target on the other hand were the machines of Area 01, wherever he was or whenever he appeared they would stop working, but surprisingly there was no ability user in a reduce of five hundred meters around him, and that was only because he was limiting the reduce of his ability to that, if he wanted to push it further he would be able to do that.
Adam on the other hand was just walking in the battlefield like a zombie, no matter how dangerous the situation he seemed to be in appeared to be, he always walked out of it unharmed, it was as if he wasn't in a battlefield where people died every second but in a corner of his own garden walking happily.

He had a bow in his hand, and he would aim and release every once in a while, each arrow would destroy a warship or a tank, it was as if he knew the weaknesses of all of those that he attacked.
The bow was an ancient type of soul weapons that had an awakened soul, its power was unbelievable, and the ability that he gave it was explosion, the arrows that it released would exploded after hitting whatever it aimed at, and the power of the explosion was great.
He also had many other soul weapons like that on his body, and also many of his messengers were close to him, they were his protecters, and they rarely left his side.
Against the seven Gods and the strongest military power in Area 02 the east side of Australia didn't have a chance to resist at all and it fall to the hands of Area 02 in less than an hour.
After they finally took control of that place, even though it was just temporarily, all the seven Gods, their right hand men and the leaders of the divine armies, met and started talking about the other courses of action that they would do.
They knew that even though they had won the first fight, it was just a battle and not the war, the real struggle would start than, when Area 01 sends its real and strongest military power, and they understood that that fight won't be as easy as the one they had just won, instead it would be worst especially for the soldiers under them.
"We should hurry up, we don't have a lot of time." Adam said while looking at everyone inside the room, then he added as his eyes stopped on Lucas:
"Lucas, you go and keep doing what you have been doing."
What Adam meant with his words was Lucas changing the terrain of the place where they were and making it better for them.
Lucas nodded his head before turning away to deal with his work, then Adam turned his head to the other four Gods and said:
"Now we need to hurry up and finish the formation, this here is their world, their home, the number of people they have is way more than us, even if we are way stronger than them we are only a few and they can tire us out using their numbers, so right now our biggest priority should be building the formation and getting as much soldiers as we can, they don't have to be strong, we only need them, we can either bring them here by force or promise them some rewards or other benefits."
The formation that Adam mentioned was a combination between a formation that existed ages ago and a new formation that some scholars had just come up with.
The old formation was something that would concentrate the power of ability users with the same type of ability and make It stronger, that's how it works, while the second part of it is how one scholar once thought about what might happen if people with teleportation type ability used such a formation.
It first appeared as only a passing thought in his mind but for some reason he couldn't stop thinking about it, till one day he decided trying it, but he still faced a problem as soon as he decided to do it, it was how to get such a great number of teleportation ability users.
He was but a normal scholar and the number of ability users with the ability to teleport that he knew was a big zero, so he decided to ask for help.
And the person that he came for when he got that thought was Adam, Adam accepted helping him for the experiment but he also asked from him to help him build something if that experiment worked.
The scholar didn't find a reason to say no so he accepted it happily, he couldn't believe that he had gotten the help of one of the seven Gods just like that.
So they tried it, and they found that using that formation on people with teleportation ability made them able to send things to places far away without them needing to teleport, and the distance that the thing or person was sent was way further than normal, and that the power of the teleportation didn't just double when two people use it, but instead it got way stronger, at least by three times.
The scholar was happy when he saw that, it was the first time something like that was done using such a great number of teleportation ability users.
As he was happy like that Adam asked for him, remembering his promise he met him, he left to meet Adam, and it was then that Adam told him about what he needed.
It was a new type of formations that only works with teleportation ability users, its main purpose would be to send and receive things and people while the ability users would be on only one side.
The scholar found the work that Adam asked from him almost impossible but then Adam gave him some papers which were experiments his own researchers did, which put him on the right path of his studies.
In the end he accepted it and started working on it, it took him a long time but he finally was able to do it, the new formation didn't only need teleportation ability users to activate it, it also needed another type of ability users...
And the first time such a formation was going to be used at such a huge scale was by Adam and the others at that war.
The only disadvantage this ability had was how the people with teleportation abilities couldn't move from their places at all while the formation is working, and each activation would consume a lot of their power, leaving them able to activate for only three times a day, but in each time they could let a group of around three thousands of soldiers pass through, and the distant was unbelievably long.
So each day they could bring around nine thousands soldiers to the battlefield, and that's not all, they also can use it to bring supplies without fearing that they would get cornered there without supplies and new weapons till they die because of weakness, it was an important part of the war and that was the reason why Adam thought that they had to build it as fast as possible.
What's more, by using Lucas's ability they were able to build a big underground base where the formation would be built, like that it would be hidden from the eyes of the people in Area 01 and they would be able to grantee its safety.
"Ok we will do as you said, we will start building this formation right now... Tim go and ask for all the teleportation ability users to go to the underground base, ask them to listen to the instructions of the people there." Lana said after Adam finished his words.
