"Easy peasy. Despite having my bloodline he was pretty weak.." muttered Michael on his way back to his mountain.
"Odd.. I got a feeling that things aren't about to go well for me.." he arrived on the mountain and everything seemed normal however..
"Imagination? Or.." he turned around and noticed that it was eerily quiet.
No wind, no nothing..
"I'm inside a barrier?" He wondered.
"No.. not a barrier.. I'd easily break out of a measly barrier this seems even stronger then a barrier." He muttered looking around..
"Could it be that the immortal left behind something?"
"Haha! It seems your quite a smart one aren't you?" A laughing voice sounded out and soon 3 figures appeared out of nowhere.
"Indeed! This is a formation that the Dao ancestor left behind! It's quite useful.. we've managed to catch a few gods off guard with it.." a burly man with scars all over his body said with a cruel glint.
"Keke, I can't wait to use my poison against you!" A creepy man said with poison oozing from his being.
'Must be a holder of a physique huh?'
"Quite a catch this time as well.. God of light? Your kind are quite rare, which means your divine core could be quite valuable!" A greedy smile appeared on the last man's face.
"If you think you can take my core then by all means. However, I'd advise you to not do anything stupid. Even with this immortal formation you will not win." Michael warned the trio but they didn't care and attacked him anyways.
"Enough Blabber! KILL HIM!" The burly man unleashed his divine axe and swung downwards at Michael who dodged out of the way while the poison user appeared out of nowehere a with a palm full of poison managed to hit Michael head on.
"URGHH!" Michael groaned at the palm and soon felt the poison kick in, paralyzing his body.
"I should be immune to normal poison.. what is this?!"
"This is a special poison I created specifically against you gods. I call it the Divine Poison! Made from 9999 different poisonous herbs, creatures and even the blood of a god of poison.. it's quite handy!" The poison man said.
"[Divine Arts: Holy Antidote]"
Using one of his many skills in his arsenal Michael managed to get rid of the poison that killed many gods before attacking the poison man.
"WHAT?! A POISON THAT CAN KILL GODS WAS BRUSHED OFF LIKE THAT?!" he roared before going head on with Michael which was the worst idea ever.
CLASSH
BANG!
Michael and the poison man let loose without a care in the world.
"[Divine Arts; Excalibur]"
Using his divine arts he summoned a pure sword made out of the holiest of light.
Michael with the sword in hand started attacking him even more crazily and managed to cut one of his arms off, forever crippling him as anything cut by this sword will have his divine power stuck in it and unless somebody stronger then him manages to suppress it. It will forever be there.
"Take this! [Heavenly Blaze of Destruction!]"
The burly man raised his axe and a flame appeared on the tip of the axe and as he swung down that's where the real might was.
As soon as he swung his axe towards Michael and tornado of pure fire came darting towards him and he could feel the heat around him increase.
"I'm kind of jealous that the immortal willingly taught you guys so many techniques and what not.. however this still isn't enough!"
"[Holy Light Barrier!]"
A wall of light appeared in front of Michael which tanked the fire tornado and Michael flew towards the brute and gave him a nice clean punch right into his stomach which sent him flying away.
CRASH-
"As I said I'm going to take your divine core!" The last man who's been watching the whole time and also the one with the greedy smile suddenly attacked.
'He's fast!'
Michael watched as the man was so fast he left after images.
'It seems there is some truth to his words afterall? Being able to move at speeds like this would indeed kill many gods and take their divine cores.' Michael analyzed.
"Is speed all you have?" He taunted.
"Thunder Burst Palm!" Mixing well with his speed the greedy man stuck out his palm which was buzzing with thunder and attacked Michael.
"Holy Palm of God!" Not to be outdone Michael responded with his own palm attack!
BOOOOM-
They both were pushed back before going at it again and again using all sorts of attacks that debated the land around them.
Many gods ended up catching wind of this and were spectating the battle.
It wasn't an everyday thing where 3 human saints decide to ambush a god after all.
The most surprising thing for them instead was Michael.
They never knew Michael was this powerful and always thought of him as a lower ranking god at best, not somebody near the Venerables level.
However.. even though they knew he was being ganged on they didn't bother helping..
Gods are just like humans in a regard.. Why bother helping when there's no benefit?
They also knew even if he died he could always be revived later by the godly mountain so it's not a permanent death..
So they continued watching the fight with enjoyment.
…
"Tch.. you shouldn't be so strong! You are but a dirty god!" The greedy man roared at Michael.
"Dirty god? You who is a puny human is something that us gods made bark like dogs.. we were born before the heavenly dao.. we are the blessed race. Who do you think you are?" Michael said out loud as he knew many gods were listening so by saying what he said he could increase his fame amongst them.
"He's right, humans should just be ants!"
"The amount of human women that offered themselves to me is more than you'll ever see mortal!"
"How dare an inferior race call us dirty?!"
Many gods came out after hearing Michael and began chirping him as they also thought this human was brain dead.
We gods are immortal and powerful from birth, how dare a short lived inferior species even say we are dirty?!
"KILL THE DIRTY HUMANS WHO DARE DIRTY THE NAME OF GOD!" The gods began to attack the saints with immense anger.
The unleashed the best attacks they could and ended up killing the already injured saints as Michael didn't hold back at all.
"Nine Breaths Vaporization Thunder Blast!"
"Divine Arts: Ice Storm!"
"Lava Tornado!"
"Poisonous Hands of calamity!"
"Corrupted Palm Of Light!"
Big explosions kept happening and a big dust cloud was revealed and inside of it was three now dead humans with bewildered expressions on their faces.
They would never have thought they would actually get ganged on by so many gods just because one person said Dirty gods.. doesn't the heavenly dao love us?…
The gods made sure to hang the corpses so everyone can see them and know that gods aren't to mess with.
And due to this the humans became even more enraged but didn't make any moves which was against all expectations.
Some gods began to wonder if they got scared and increased their faith gathering..
But what they didn't know was that years in the future they would know that what they thought was wrong all along..
~~~
"Didn't they cower away? How can they suddenly have the power to injure a venerable god!" Screamed a beautiful goddess with white hair and blue eyes.
She was currently screaming at basically everyone present.
There was once again a meeting after almost ten thousand years of peace from the humans.
The reason being is because one day a venerable god was carrying out the faith gathering himself and got injured by multiple humans who were waiting for him.
Thankfully they weren't as strong as him and despite being a 3v1 he managed to get away.
All the gods now knew that humans can infacg equal them.
They also knew the Heavenly dao was getting more powerful day by day and it was only a matter of time before they were easily killed.
"I say we do a full blown attack on them."
"Let's gather the races we've made with them we should have an equal amount of people."
"I agree. My elf race has a few thousand to spare, unfortunately their fertility is very bad so it takes years for kids."
"I got plenty of demons from my realm we can use."
"I guess I can give some of my men.. dwarves, they made amazing weapons that can be supplied."
"I'll add my beastmen!"
"I suppose I'll help out as well.."
The gods began saying they will give many of their races they've made to help out.
A lot were exterminated during the abyss war but still many are alive.
And so with that the gods went back to get ready for the grand final war that will determine the outcome of the world.
~~
Total devastation.
The war that's ongoing right now between the humans and the allied forces of the gods and their races has reached a point of no return.
At first it was just small fights here and there but it doomed turned into thousands against thousands and many gods dieing and many saints being killed.
Somehow the humans kept coming and coming as if they were endless.
On one such battlefield was the Divine Mind tribe of humans who have the power to use telekinesis and use powerful abilities.
They used to be a group of humans who were very devout to the gods but turned against them when one of them saw through them and now they are fighting.
Against the divine mind tribe was actually Michael himself alongside a beautiful woman with green hair and emerald eyes. Pointy ears and a beautiful body.
She was the queen of the elf's named Faylen.
Due to the life goddess being a kind god she let Faylen become almost as powerful as a venerable god which left her with a lot of power and decided to team up with Michael.
They also have an army of elves with them and Michael brought a new race he made with experiments.
He named them Demonic Humans!
Instead of the average pale white color or tan they instead have charcoal skin and red eyes and blood thirsty expressions.
He made them using the blood of the abyss devils he had and he must say they are quite a powerful group.
"Give up God of light and queen of elves, we outnumber you by a large margin, not to mention we have the heavenly dao on our side." One of the strongest saints said.
"Die!"
Michael gave the order and the war started between them and the demonic humans went crazy attacking any human in front of them.
Meanwhile the elves used their masterful techniques in using nature to destroy their enemies.
—-
On the godly mountain there was nobody but a human and the king of my odd himself.
The human seemed to be the leader of the humans and even goes by the name of Human King.
He was a handsome man with golden eyes and a lotus mark on his forehead with white hair.
They started battling it out going back and forth delivering deathly blows.
The king currently had the upper hand as he was easily defending and attacking everytime and pushed the human king back.
But the human king merely gave a slight smile and raised his arm before a sword appeared and he sliced down once and the king of gods instantly felt death.
Death.
Something he hasn't felt ever in his life.
He walked this earth before everyone as he was born supreme.
But now a mere bug who he thought was below him made him feel death.
It's inconceivable!
"KING OF GODS SECRET ARTS; GODS AVATAR OF DESTRUCTION!"
Behind the king was a projection of himself with golden armor and a sword with an arrogant look on his face.
The projection was hundreds of meters tall and gave off a terrible aura.
The projection raised his sword and also sliced down which gave an even more deadly sword than the humans.
"Heavenly Dao State!" The human king suddenly went emotionless and gave off an even more holy aura than some gods.
"This..!"
The king felt the heavenly dao from this human!
"DAMN HEAVENLY DAO!!!!!!" he roared before trying to kill him.
But with the heavenly dao he now had the upper hand.
Easily managing to suppress the king and at the end when the king of gods was most injured and unable to fight any longer a seal appeared in his hand that was made with the humans fortune courtesy of the heavenly dao.
He sealed the king of gods along with the godly mountain into the void.
"Sigh~ according to my estimation we have a few million years before he gets unsealed, by then we should be strong enough to fight back and kill them for good." One last look before he disappeared.
~
Unaware to the other gods that the king was sealed the others were fighting with all they got but for some reason the gods kept getting sealed.
There were extraordinary humans that seemed to have the power of the heavenly dao that was the bane of the gods making it easier for the human to do things against them.
And so one by one the gods were either sealed or killed into their secret realms all over the world and alongside the mortal armies they've made.
Either sealed with them or killed.
—
"Something's off.." Michael said while fighting.
He had a weird feeling as if the gods lost this one.
"Weird, did something happen?" He wondered but could think too hard as he was busy fighting a whole bunch of saints.
On his side it seemed the elf queen wasn't doing the best as she was getting tired.
The armies we've both brought are also basically wiped out with a few dozen elves and demonic humans remaining.
We have them the order to run and hide and wait for our return as we didn't want them to die out like many other races.
The saints with the power of the heavenly dao stopped fighting as they noticed the presence of the leader.
The one known as the human king.
"You might be as strong as the king of gods, I'm surprised." He said to Michael.
"Due to this I'll have to be the one to seal you just like I did to him." With a smile he raised his hand with the power of the heavenly dao and produced a lesser seal to seal away Michael and the queen of elves together inside of his secret realm.
The whole area around his secret realm which included his sacred mountain were sealed off also.
Once everything was done the humans raised their heads and shouted.
The Era of gods is finally over and they can live peacefully!
"THE ERA OF GODS IS OVER MY PEOPLE! FROM NOW ON ITS THE ERA OF IMMORTALS!" The human king projected his voice to all the humans who shouted.
"I can go back home and play with the elf girl I caught!"
"You got an elf?! Lucky bastard!"
"Hehe she was quite weak, I've already used her so much she's dead inside! Good thing her body is killer though!"
"Time for the humans to make a comeback!"
"Damn gods it's about time!"
And so, now started the era of immortals where cultivators will thrive.
