Chapter 210: chapter 210- Hercules lV
"Truth to be told, During my twelve labors, I have faced several types of Monsters and Beasts, but... your appearance is the one that... The worst? I am sure of that"
"*Tch* I'm aware of that, you're not the first one to say that to me"
"Oh~ you are more self-aware than I thought... So what will you do now? Will you keep talking like that to stall time? I'd rather we do something else, than something boring like that"
"You know what?... I also think the same thing with... You!"
*woosh!*
Lembuswana's eight Tentacles immediately headed towards Hercules, intending to restrain him; not only that, Lembuswana also increased the Gravity around them, making it difficult for Hercules to move, but that didn't seem to matter to Hercules because, just like before, Hercules had no trouble moving at all.
Seeing the tentacles coming towards him, Hercules smiled, as if remembering the past. Seeing the tentacles coming closer to him, Hercules did not use the mace or knuckles as before, but now a sword appeared right in his hand.
"Now we talk..."
Said Hercules who then slashed the Tentacle with the most force, which immediately made the Lembuswana Tentacles cut off.
"... Huh?"
Hercules wanted to take care of the other Tentacles, but the severed Tentacles grew back and immediately wrapped around Hercules' body.
With Lembuswana's current real body, one Tentacle could cover Hercules' entire body like a python wrapping around its prey, but Lembuswana was already aware of Hercules' great strength, so he wrapped Hercules' body with all eight of his Tentacles, just to make sure that Hercules wouldn't move, and can't escape from the entanglement of its Tentacles.
Not wasting any time, Lembuswana wanted to launch his next attack. A giant black energy ball appeared in Lembuswana's mouth. The ball contained the Void, which would destroy anything it touched.
*Stab*
However, before he could launch the black energy ball, because the attack was not ready yet, a sword already penetrated Lembuswana's Tentacles, which, of course, came from Hercules' sword.
Seeing this, Lembuswana hurriedly launched his unprepared attack, because the attack was not ready. The attack was not very strong, however, the Void contained within it could still eliminate all matter it touched.
*woosh*
Because of the Tentacles that Lembuswana used to wrap around Hercules' body, his Attack also hit the Tentacles, but Lembuswana didn't care about that, because they would just grow back.
*Boom!*
The explosion containing the Void then occurred after hitting his own Tentacles that wrapped Hercules inside it. The explosion occurred as if sucking everything around it; even space itself seemed to be sucked into the void explosion, which produced a kind of spatial distortion.
"..."
For a few moments after the explosions stopped, silence fell.
"... Did I succ-"
"Of course you not"
"!!!"
Hearing Hercules' voice from above, Lembuswana quickly turned his head up and there he saw Hercules, but he was not okay, because one of his arms was missing due to Lembuswana's attack, it could actually be healed by Hercules' healing factor, but because the attack that removed half of his arm contained Void, it would take quite a long time for his arm to heal.
What actually happened was, before Lembuswana's attack could hit him, Hercules still had time to get out of Lembuswana's Tentacles Snare and leaped with great strength to avoid the Lembuswana attack, but he was a little too late, which caused half of his arm to disappear because it was still hit by Lembuswana's Void "bomb", and worse, his sword which was a gift from Harmes had to disappear into nothingness.
That is, if something disappears into nothingness it is completely impossible to retrieve.
"... That's my favorite sword you know"
Hercules said with anger clearly visible in his tone.
Then, in Hercules' only remaining hand, the Golden Knuckle in the shape of a lion's head reappeared, and with anger that increased his strength many times over, Hercules Descended at full speed to punch Lembuswana's head.
Even with gravity that was many times greater than Earth's gravity, Hercules descended at an unreasonable speed, which was probably because the gravity around them, which was many times greater than Earth's gravity, contributed to Hercules' unreasonable descent speed.
Realizing this, Lembuswana immediately removed the gravity around them, but it was too late because Hercules was already right above his head.
"YOU HAVE A UNIQUE POWER, BUT IN FRONT OF ULTIMATE STRENGTH, ANY TRICK WAS USELESS... RAGHH!!"
"... Oh~ Shi-"
*POW!!*
Hit by Hercules' blow that had who knows how many tons of strength, Lembuswana's large body shot down into the ocean, and with zero gravity around him, Lembuswana's large body fell into the ocean at high speed, like a handful of stones thrown into a basin filled with water.
When Lembuswana fell into the ocean, a large wave was created, which would later become a tsunami that would hit whichever unlucky island later.
Hercules, who saw that Lembuswana could not move for a while, did not stop there; he looked at Taufik, who had been silent in his place as if he was concentrating on something without caring about what was happening around him, with that, Hercules immediately moved forward at full speed towards Taufik.
Lembuswana, who still couldn't do anything and was made worse by his Tentacles not yet fully regenerating, could only watch Hercules approach Taufik.
"THIS IS THE END, KID; I'VE LOST MANY JUST TO KILL YOU... SAY HELLO TO MY UNCLE WHEN YOU SEE HIM LATER"
Said Hercules, who wanted to end Taufik's life, but he had to abandon his intention because Taufik's body was suddenly covered in a fire that was almost as hot as the surface of the sun; this had to make Hercules retreat to get away from Taufik.
"What now? Why it's so hard to kill this kid?" Hercules said in frustration.
As Hercules said that, Nāgāntaka immediately came out of Taufik's body, and immediately breathed his fire towards Hercules.
Seeing this, Hercules took a step back to get away from Nāgāntaka's fire breath, because even though his golden chest plate could ward off the fire breath, the heat generated by Nāgāntaka's fire breath was unbearable.
"Only in time like this that I wish what I have is not only Strenght, dammit!"
*Catch!*
Before Nāgāntaka's fire breath was finished, Lembuswana's fully regenerated Tentacles immediately caught Hercules in the air.
"PARTNER! DO ME A FAVOR! BURN THIS DAMN GOD TO ASH!!"
Lembuswana shouted, which was immediately responded to with Nāgāntaka's distinctive chirp. Nāgāntaka flapped his wings and immediately approached Hercules; he grabbed Hercules' shoulders with both of his feet and penetrated him in the process with his Claws, which limited Hercules' movement.
"*ARGHH!!* "
Hercules groaned in pain as his body was penetrated by Nāgāntaka's four claws.
Nāgāntaka was ready to spew his Fire Breath right in front of Hercules' face, seeing this, panic began to grow in Hercules' heart, a feeling he had not felt for a long time, but there was a sensation that he had also forgotten for a long time that reappeared.
The sensation made a smile appear on Hercules' face; he wanted to continue feeling this sensation; he wanted to maintain this feeling of being close to death. That was what was on Hercules' mind at the moment, but to do that, he had to get out of this situation first.
None of his weapons or Armour could help him out of his current situation, in that short time, Hercules remembered his days as a demigod, a time when his days were filled with battles, and his experience told him that the only thing that could save him from his current situation was one, breakthrough, Breakthrough with full power, that was the only option he had because he only had Strength if it didn't work then it meant he still lacked strength, if so he just had to increase his strength, and coincidentally that was all he had.
And just like when he fended off Taufik's rain of weapons, Hercules again made the Divine energy within him go berserk, it made Lembuswana's Tentacles that were wrapped around his body shatter into pieces, and also made Nāgāntaka who was ready to spit out his Fire Breath had to be thrown away, although, in the process, both of Hercules' shoulders were torn apart.

But Hercules didn't care about that because, unlike Lembuswana's void "Bomb" attack, the wound could quickly regenerate.
Sure enough, in just a matter of milliseconds, the wounds on both of Hercules' shoulders immediately healed, as if he had never been injured at all.
Not wanting to waste any time, Hercules immediately called his club back and headed straight for Nāgāntaka, who was still unable to balance himself after being thrown by Hercules' Divine energy.
"EAT THIS!"
As if using teleportation, Hercules instantly arrived behind Nāgāntaka and immediately hit him with his club, much like a baseball player hitting a ball.
*PLACKK!!*
Nāgāntaka's body was thrown far away, but Hercules did not stop there; right after Nāgāntaka was thrown right above Lembuswana, Hercules reappeared near Nāgāntaka but now right above Nāgāntaka and immediately hit him with his mace.
*PLACKK!!*
Nāgāntaka was hit by Hercules' second attack and was thrown again, but now he was not alone, Nāgāntaka who was thrown hit Lembuswana, who was below, but instead of stopping, Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka were thrown down together, and hit the ocean below. (yep~ it's Tsunami again)
Seeing his two enemies floating motionless on the surface of the sea, Hercules smiled in satisfaction, but before he could finish enjoying his satisfaction, Hercules felt goosebumps on his back, which made him reflexively turn his body around.
There he saw Taufik ready with his attack, and grinned at him while saying.
"What? You Forget something, buddy?"
"... Oh-"
