Azran POV

I unleashed a flurry of low level spells to distract Salar, before jumping bacwards and unleashing a petrification spell, that turned him to stone. It wasn't nearly enough to hold a God, but it bought me enough time to turn and unleash several fire and water spells at Zaradis, engulfing him in a cloud of boiling steam....If it's even possible for steam to boil.

Damn. This was even harder than I had thought. I dodged the fire attack of another God as I jumped backwards. Why the Hell am I the only one fighting three different Gods at the same time! Markal and George are both fighting two, but why do I have to fight three, it's just not fair.

Great. Now I'm acting like some sulking kid. Ugh. It seems that this third God is an oracle God. Great. How are you supposed to kill a God who knows where you will attack before you do.

Damn. This is obnoxious. I teleport backwards and grab Salar, pushing him into the path of Zaradis's attack.

Ha. Take that you b*stard. I teleport in front of Zaradis and stick my fingers into his eyes, before dodging another attack.

"Stay still. Damn it. How am I supposed to p*ss in your skull, if you keep attacking me?! How am I supposed to kill you if you keep attacking me, huh! Do you really want Markal to rape you that Badly!!! Just go over there and ask! I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige."

"F*ck You Azran!!! Stop voluntering me for crazy crap like this!!! Besides....I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY YOU KNOW WHAT MINERVA LOOKS LIKE NAKED!!! IF I'M GOING TO RAPE ANYONE IT'S GOING TO BE YOU!!!"

"Ch. Well someone's got a stick shoved pretty far up his *ss. Just forget about that harmeless little incident......And if you don't, I'm going to get someone to paint a picture of Minerva naked, and hang it on my bedroom wall!! Who Knows. Maybe I'll make some extra money, and sell copies of it online in my world. The Devil's wife nude........Do you have any idea how much top ranked magicians would pay for a painting like that? For the ability to try and blackmail the Devil?  I'd make millions in only a few hours!"

"AZRAN YOU SON-OF-A-B*TCH!!"

I laughed as Markal turned towards me, only to get hit in the head by one of the God's he was fighting. Sucks for you Markal. You will never find out how I know what your wife looks like naked....Hehehehe. I laughed somewhat creepily as I avoided a bunch of high-level attacks by the other three gods. Hmm. It seems Markal is p*ssed now. I watched as he tore into the gods with a vengeance. It was pretty much just a blur of flesh and gore.

Well, I suppose I shouldn't get left behind. Now it's my turn.

I grab Zaradis's arm and rip it off, before flinging it at Salar and unleashing a lighting spell that fried everyting within 300 feet. Finally, I can actually catch my breath.

I quickly glance over at the George and Markal. Hmm. It seems that they are holding their own. Well of course they are. I am the one fighting the King of Gods and his right hand man, along with some j*ck*ss that I've never heard of. They're just fighting two of the lower ranked Greater Gods. Come to think of it, how is George doing that? Isn't he just a Magic King?

Whatever. I can figure that out later. For now I need to concentrate on fighting these three. Hmm. Now let's see. A Black Hole worked last time. Now all I have to do is make sure that I get Salar stuck in it. I should be able to take care of the others after that. Now all I have to do is create an opening.

I teleport forward ripping Zaradis's spine out of his back, before flinging him into that stupid oracle  god. Perfect. I spin and wait for just a moment until Salar is right in front of me, his sword swinging for my neck.

Sorry buddy. Not today. Maybe on Sunday after tea, hmm....or not. I unleash the black hole spell, dragging his sword off course.

DAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNN! That f*cking hurt! I let loose a long string of curses, as his sword slices the middle of my chest wide open, before disappearing into the black hole.

I should have activated that spell sooner. Oh, well nothing I can do about it now. Maybe I should cook his soul before eating it. Will he be able to feel it, as I slowly turn him into lunch? Hmm. Fried God on a stick. I must admit that sounds rather good when you think about it.

Hmm. That actually sounds really appetizing. I bet no one's ever tried cooking a God's soul before. It seems that Salar is smarter than that other God I ate.......What was his name again? I don't know. (Seriously, I forgot his name.....Maybe I should re-read all of my stories)

Anyway, at least he's not going to punch the black hole or something. I mean I almost felt sorry for the guy, he was so stupid he tried to punch a black hole. What was he trying to accomplish? I mean, a black hole can swallow entire universes, so why would you try to punch it?

Maybe it's  some sort of common sense thing. Since I'm insane I don't get it, but maybe for sane people it is just a natural reaction? Eh. Who cares.

The thing about all these "powerful" Gods, is that they are only powerful in one specific area. Salar is the King of Gods, so he is very good at running an empire of Gods, but his actual combat experience is rather low. I mean how many things are there that can kill a God. Honestly, taking out Zaradis, will be harder.

Hmm. Salar is still struggling, and the skin has peeled off my back like twenty times. I can't keep taking all these attacks from Zaradis and that oracle God, I'm taking too much damage. Time to finish this.

I unleash a burst of mana behind Salar, and let the black hole suck it in. But since it was behind Salar, the blast pushed him into the black hole first. I had just enough time to rip out his soul before he was completely sucked inside.

I solidified his soul into a crystal form and grabbed it in my hand before teleporting away and casting several consecutive healing spells. Ugh. Finally. That was actually kind of close. If I had taken any more of their attacks, my body would have broken apart.

Oops. I dropped about ten feet to avoid a bunch of rather lethal attacks from the infuriated Zaradis. Damn. That guy must have some berserker mode. His spells are twice as strong now. Ugh, and that damn Oracle God, keeps dodging all my attacks. I suppose I should get rid of Zaradis first. I teleport backwards to avoid Zaradis, before sending a bunch of elemental spells at the Oracle God, forcing him away, and giving me room to kill Zaradis.

Hmm. I suppose I should find a way to kill him without using a black hole. Maybe a mana drain will weaken him enough so that he won't be able to regenerate, and then I can cut off his head, and rip out his spine, and then crystallize his soul. Yeah, that should do it. But first I need to get some space from this Oracle God. I release an atom bomb spell,causing the Oracle God to rush backwards, but I take the part that heads towards me and redirect it towards Zaradis.

That should buy me a couple of seconds. I teleported behind Zaradis, as he tried to deflect the heat from the blast, and shoved my hand into his back, and setting up a connection to his mana pool. There we go, now to drain it, and destroy him.

I take a deep breath and concentrate, before ripping out the majority of his mana pool, and absorbing it, making regeneration impossible. I shoved my hand all the way through his chest, before whipping my other arm around and forcing it through his neck, effectively removing his head. After that it only took another second to rip out his soul, before burning his body to ash.

Ah. I can not tell you how good that felt. Trust me, there is nothing like ripping off a God's head and stealing his soul. It is like a major confidence boost. Oh, well. Now to deal with that Oracle God and his obnoxious ability of precognition. I turn towards him only to see him raise his hands and say

"I surrender."

....................Huh. Did he just say I surrender? I didn't think any of the would surrender. Whatever. I'll just extract whatever information I can then kill him. Why should I offer him any mercy? He attacked my family and............SH*****T! I completely forgot! Navaris and Sirenia are giving birth right now. I should totally be there.

I quickly set up an elaborate binding spell, which the Oracle God just stood still and allowed to bind him. Huh, I guess he was serious about surrendering. Now to help George and Markal deal with......Oh. It looks like they don't need any help.

Markal is currenty holding the still living heads of the other four Gods, while George is burning away their bodies as fast as they regenerate. I suppose that is just as effective. I teleport in front of them with the bound Oracle God in tow.

"Looks like you guys are done too."

"Yep."

"Hey, Azran. If you make paintings of my naked wife, then I am going to spread videos of you and your wives having sex, all over the internet. So......STAY THE F*CK AWAY FROM MY WIFE!!!!!!!!"

"How the Hell do you have videos of us having sex?!"

"I obviously recorded them on enchanted crystals when I was watching you from my private room in Hell."

I glanced at Markal in disgust.

"Pervert.....Voyeur.....F*CKING ASSHOLE!!! HOW DARE YOU SPY ON US!!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HOW DARE I SPY ON YOU. YOU SAW MY WIFE NAKED, SO THAT EVENS THINGS OUT."

"ARE YOU KIDDING?! SEEING SOMEONE NAKED AND WATCHING THEM HAVE SEX ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Hey, Numbskulls. Don't you think we have more important things to be doing than arguing about who is the bigger pervert?"

"Who's a Pervert?! Markal's the Pervert!"

"Are You Kidding! You started it!"

"Oh, yeah! Well....."

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!"

"Fine George. We'll settle this later Markal. My kids are more important."

I turned and ripped the souls out of the other Gods solidifying them into four different crystals in my hands. It was pretty easy since at that poing they were just talking heads. Hmm. Maybe I should shave some of these into powder and mix them with the milk for the babies. I mean if Gods are going to hate my family anyway, then I might as well make them strong enough to win. Although Salar and Zaradis's souls are mine. They were obnoxious so I should be able to devour them myself.

And with that I teleport back to my house, followed by George and Markal.

"I'm Home. Guess who just killed all of the Greater Gods! Well except for this Oracle guy who surrendered."

"Oh, Azran. What took you so long? Cthulu and Lucy were born like half an hour ago."

I looked at Navaris for a long moment before dropping to my knees and howling to the sky.

".........WHY MEEEEEEEE?! WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS THE IMPORTANT PARTS IN LIFE?! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO HAVE A SAY IN THEIR NAMES!"

"Well that's your fault for not taking care of the Greater Gods earlier. Besides, did you actually think I was going to let you name our kid? You named your soldier\bodyguard guy Dufus. What kind of a name is that?"

I guess Navaris is still being influenced by this hormone sh*t. Otherwise she would never be this grumpy and antagonistic. Well I suppose I should greet my kids. I tossed Oracle guy into a corner of the room and walked over to the beds, where Sirenia and Navaris are holding them.

AWW. They're so cute. I can just imagine getting to teach them the best ways to kill and dismember someone. YES! I can't wait!

Hmm. So I have a cute daughter and a handsome son now. Lucy looks like a younger version of Angeline, Sirenia's younger sister. She has the same pointy ears, and dark gray skin of a Dark Elf, but she has bright red eyes, similar to my demon form, and her nails are black and rather long, almost like claws. She really is just the cutest thing. I lean forward to look at her face, and wince when her nails slam into my eye. So cute, she actually thinks she can hurt me. It looks like she inherited her mother's gift for swordsmanship, judging by her internal mana flow. Her mana pool isn't anything super special, but a little bit of powdered God soul with her milk should fix that in no time.

I heal my eye with a simple spell and give Sirenia a kiss on the forehead before whispering.

"Lucy is beautiful. You picked a great name, for a great daughter."

Sirenia blushed and looked adoringly at Lucy. Yep. She really is one cute kid. Now to go look at Cthulu. I turn and take a quick step over to Navaris's bed, before bending down to look at my son. Hmm. He seems to have inherited equal parts from both me and Navaris. His mana pool is enormous. It is almost as big as mine was when I was a Magic King. But whatever, he is pretty cute too. His skin is white, just like mine usually is, but the whites of his eyes are black, and iris of his eyes are a dazzling red, just like Lucy's. He also has the black nails, but instead of pointed ears, he has two small stubs on top of his head. I guess they will grow into a set of horns as he grows up. He also seems to have recieved Navaris's ability to shapeshift, as his arm turns into a tentacle and wraps around my throat, trying to strangle me.

WHY ARE BOTH MY KIDS TRYING TO KILL ME?! Really, it is just not fair. Hmm. I supose I can just accept that they sense my power and are trying to take if for their own. I guess they take after me in that aspect. Hmm. Cthulu's arm went back to normal. I guess, some of the powdered God soul will also help enlarge his mana pool as well as possibly allowing him to access more of Navaris's unique forms, and talents.

I lean forward and kiss Navaris on the forehead.

"Cthulu is just as handsome, as Lucy is beautiful. And I suppose that Cthulu is a fitting name....After all you chose it."

"Of course it is fitting. I am glad you are pleased."

I watched as Navaris gazed at Cthulu. This must be a strange experience for her, who thought that she would never be able to talk to a person, let alone marry and have a child. Well, I am sure she will get used to it.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

I spun flinging up several multi-layered barriers around my famiy, to block any incoming magic, or physical ttacks. I looked at the Oracle God who was laughing insanely. Was this a trap? Did he only pretend to surrender in order to get close to us?

"I have waited for this moment for a long time. I always knew that you would destroy us, and no matter what we did, you would win......But I have waited for this moment to come for a long time. I just wanted to see the despair on your faces, when I told you. This is just my little way of paying you back for my upcoming death."

"What are you talking about?" I snapped out, as I prepared several offensive spells that would leave nothing but bloody little pieces of him scattered throughot the universe. I had a serious problem with people threatening my family, and I would use an atom bomb to crush an ant, just to make sure it was dead.

"I will tell you your future. Hmm. Will you kill me before I tell you? After all, if I tell it to you, then you will be able to try and avert it won't you."

Hmm. I suppose that is true. And with the barriers I have set up, not even Salar at full power would be able to get anything through.

"Very Well. You have two minutes. After that you will die. I don't care what you say."

"I suppose that shall do. Then Listen TO ME! Cthulu will grow up into a quiet person who is full of dangerous power, and will kill people from the shadows. He will hate being the center of attention, and will always seek to keep to himself."

Hmm. That is a little odd, but I don't see why that would make me despair.

"However; He will fall in love and marry a single woman. Although he will eventually take after his disgusting father and have several mistresses that have been approved by his wife."

Hmm. That sounds like me and Navaris. But what is wrong with that. I mean I'm pretty happy, so why should I care.

"Unfortunately for you, he will fall in love with a Demon Woman. One who is as insane and bloodthirsty and as f*cked up as you are. Azran the God-Eater."

Oookay. That is a little worrying. Since If I wasn't so awesome, my personality would suck. Hmm. Perhaps when Cthulu introduces her to me, I should give her a warning about the way she acts around him. Something like say.....Flaying her alive, or maybe removal of her intestines, or maybe I should just brainwash her so that she is totally devoted to Cthulu. Yes I think I'll do that.

"Is that all you have to say, Oracle God? Because I'm really not feeling the despair. Any....How do you say.......Mistakes.....Our son makes, can be easily fixed. All I have to do is brainwash or kill them. Cthulu doesn't even have to know."

"Perhaps. But your daughter will not have such an easy fate. She will grow up with the daughter of Markal and Minerva. They will be best friends, and will enjoy slaughtering together. She will be a strong woman who bows to no man. She will be the greatest swordswoman this world has ever known."

Well, that actually sounds pretty good. So my daughter will be an incredible swordswoman who will be known throughout the world. As far as I'm concerned. That is good news.

"But when her best friend, falls in love with a being of darkness, she will also find the love of her life. She will fall in love with HIM, and then you shall know true despair. For HE is a being of incomprehensible power. HE is the most fearsome being in the universe and........HIS name is Cyril Percy Williams Jr. III!!" (I always knew that this guy was up to no good. He is truly terrifying.)

Huh. That name sounds vaguely familiar. Where have I heard it before. Huh. Why are both Minerva and Markal pale and shaking? Before I could say anything, Minerva spoke up.

"Are you talking about HIM? The Immortal? The Unbreakable? The God-Breaker? The Ultimate Masochist? The Cyril who is immune to both physical and mental pain? The one who nearly broke Markal when he tried to break him? The Cyril who wears away at your mind and makes the worst punishments seem like pleasure?! THAT Cyril Percy Williams Jr. III?!?!?!?!"

"Nope. Different one."

".................."

"........OF COURSE THAT CYRIL PERCY WILLIAMS JR. III !!!! What other one is there! This is why I waited and allowed everyone else to be killed. I just needed to see that despair and pity on your face when you looked at Azran! This makes it all worthwhile!This.......Gurgle"

I slit the Oracle's throat before ripping out his soul and incinerating his body. I tossed the soul crystal in with Salar, and Zaradis's crystals, for my personal consumption. I turned to Markal and Minerva, who were both looking at me with pity.

"All right. You guys have exactly two minutes to tell me who this Cyril Percy Williams Jr. III person is, and where I can find him. After you tell me, I will go and take care of this problem before it even begins.......Start Talking NOW!"
