《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 40 : Upstairs at Olympus.
Advertisement
Kael took the long way to Olympus, the 1 million staircase to its path. At the top of the staircase Kael let out a sigh. Spacious with the golden staircase with no guide rails. Though if anyone wanted to go to heaven, they would not have to worry for too much. This place seemed to be a good fit for Lucius. It was not a weird place like Earth's Heaven. This one actually looks homey.
"Welcome,.. Please sign your name and your reason for being here. Also how did you die." Kael looked at the laziest angel who was reading a 'PlayAngel' magazine. Kael filled up the file and the angel put the magazine down, staring at Kael. The angel felt the heat go into his robes, tugging the collar to let the heat out. Clearly the angel was sweating bullets from seeing Kael.
"Took you long enough to notice me... Now." Kael flicked his finger at the gate and it exploded, then walking in.
"Intruder alert. Intruder alert! All angels this is not a drill. An intruder has breached the heavens." The PA system went off with the repeated warnings and sirens that were loud. Seems like heaven here is a bit more unique. Kael could see a brewery to his left, a building for clothes and the structure of it all was more human than anything else.
Not medieval human but earth human. The angels appeared, their weapons were a mix bag of bows, guns, swords, spears, shields, javelins and everything else one could think off.
"Freeze intruder!" They had their weapons pointing at him. Kael yawned as he pulled out a card.
'High Priestess' The card shattered, creating a shockwave that put the angels down.
'Reverse Judgement' Kael said as lightning bolts smite the angels to dust. It was like another day for Kael, walking through to the gates of the angels, seeing the Gods inside that had Velaya in chains. The Gods that were before Kael were as tall as skyscrapers, with Velaya being a child in front of them.

"Thanks for clearing the way for us." Kael turned to Lucius and Ren.
"Velaya!" Ren called out, seeing Velaya looking at him. She was bruised, weakened and unable to say much.
"Humans... And Lucius... You dare to intervene!?" One of the Gods spoke, Lucius did not say a word as Kael took a step forward.
"You took Velaya from earth to fill the void by your own Gods of Destruction and you treat her like this?"
"She is to be blamed. That is her duty." Kael looked at Ren.
"Just run straight to Velaya and don't look back." Kael said as Ren ran straight to Velaya.
"HOW DARE YOU!" The Gods unleashed their wrath. Lightning bolts, the floor that they stood on turned to lava, the wind sharp enough to cut them. Kael raised the card of the World Arcana.
"For my younger brother, I'd give the world." Basically this meant that none of the attacks will hit Ren. The attacks will phase through him instead.
"Stop him!" The angels made their way to Ren but was stopped by Lucius who flicked them all away with his pinky.
Ren hugged Velaya, and her restraints shattered.
"Game's over Gagnar. You should have just left these people alone." Lucius said as he and Kael made their way to their younger siblings.
"No... Melvoris will not fall. We will take earth to be ours!" The Gods spoke up, only to fall to their knees in their own domain. Seeing Lucius walking over to them.
"Kael.. Mind if I handle this instead? I need to.. Let a bit of my temper out."Lucius spoke with a smile, the same kind of smile with that glare that destroyed the surroundings of Olympus itself.
"Sure. I'll go bring these two back to earth then I'll go blow up Melvoris." Kael left while Lucius looked at the Gods before him. Drawing out his blade, as his armor covered him from head to toe.

"Do you truly understand what you've done!?" THe Gods readied themselves to fight back, unleashing elements upon Lucius. Every element at its utmost potential. Unrestrained and full of raw power. Lightning bolts that could burn the earth. Fire that leaves everything to ash. Wind that tears off anything in its path and water that swallows up everything into its stomach. Those were their elements yet they all have forgotten that Lucius was not just a Supreme God.
"I was the God of Destruction." Lucius reminded them, as their elements stopped inches away from reaching him. The elements were hesitant to move closer. When the Gods forced the elements through the elements faded away as if they had never existed. Lucius took a step forward as the elements collected into marbles by his fingertips. He launched a red marble first, where it exploded into flames that engulfed the enitrety of Olympus. The screams of the residents and even the Angels that had came to aid their Gods were distraught.
"You need to remember. Unlike my predecessor that restrains all of you out of sheer joy. I am someone who does not mind destroying you for my benefit. And.. I learn things from the humans as well." Lucius spoke as the blue marble transformed into a card with the word 'Ocean' on it.
Shattering the card as an ocean enveloped the entirety of Olympus, uprooting the buildings, the angels and deities that had made their home here, Olympus was drowning in its own path. There were screams of all the deities and angels before him.
"Do you not have any heart Lucius!? You monster! You are destroying Olympus! All for a mere young God?!" Lucius scoffed to those words, it was something that he ad been used to hearing all the time. Pulling out another card 'Bolt'
"For my younger sister, I will not let anything hurt her. Not even fellow Gods such as you." Lucius pointed the card to them.Shattering the card as black lightning bolts plundered the buildings to dust and rubble. The dust covered the air, as Lucius continued to hear the voices of the many Olympus residents, the nymphs, the centaurs, the many other beings that reside here. They were all at his mercy.
"Ah, Kael." Lucius turned to see Kael, but there was something off about this Kael before him. Lucius laughed at the sight of the Kael that was here. Wiedling Kuro-Hana, Ga-eul, Baihua and Banshee in their fullest forms.
"Ah, so this is not Kael but rather Lee. You brought the strongest form of Kael back to fight. This is adorable, a mere copy?" Lee drew his sword against Lucius who stopped it with his fingers.
"Lacking... You are far too lacking to even be called as something like Kael. Even when he was Lee he had far more strength than this." Lucius said.
