AN: Hello! Chapter 25 has arrived! It would be great if you reviewed to my story, constructive criticism accepted. Enjoy!
Chapter 25- The pit of Crasan
The Battle- Part 3
Third Person POV
Zarcrix glared at the sky, where he saw hundreds of black bolts shooting down. Bolts of Order. Zarcrix immediately knew the bolts would send mortals and immortals to the endless pit on contact.
Zarcrix immediately threw up a shield, shielding the demigods from the bolts, allowing them to battle freely. Zarcrix sends a ring of green energy outwards and disintegrates 10,000 monsters in an instant. He then pulls out his sword and slices up hundreds of monsters with each swing, slaughtering them.
"Get back to Drakona!" yells Zarcrix, swinging his blade towards the space drakon.
The Drakon vanishes into golden dust at the touch of Zarcrix's blade.
Bolts of green lightning fly from the sky, massacring hundreds of monsters at a time. The lightning bolts keep flying from the sky, shrinking the monster army to just 7,000. Zarcrix shoots a huge bolt of energy at the remaining monsters, destroying them.
The island was now empty.
The demigods started burying their dead friends.
Zarcrix dug a hole for the Stoll's but something caught his eye in the side of the hole he was digging. The thing he was looking at was a silvery metal, the metal glowed a greenish colour, and Zarcrix quickly dug it out. It was pure silver, except it glowed a greenish colour, and looked like it had been cursed.
"Don't touch it" Zarcrix says suddenly, stopping Katie from reaching out to touch it.
"Why?" she asks, confused.
"It could be cursed" says Zarcrix. "I sense evil magic powering this" he says.
Then he picks it up, not affecting him as a deity.
"Hmm… Gaia Silver, very rare, cursed to torture anyone weaker than her who touches it. Good thing you didn't touch it" says Zarcrix.
Zarcrix pockets the metal and the demigods continue burying the dead.

Percy POV
I blink and cough violently, pain shooting down my throat. My legs felt like lead, and my throat was parched. I slowly stand, my legs wobbling under my weight, fatigue striking me. Fear weighed heavily on me, and sweat dripped off my face.
I look around the place I was in. It was a dark, musty red. The ground was made of hot red sand, the clouds were a misty red, each one radiating heat. I slowly walk forward towards what looked like a tall, spiralling tower of red rock in the distance.
Each step felt like a lifetime, each minute an eternity. My legs weighed me down, and my entire body was laid with fatigue. Red dust flew across the plains, and stung my eyes.
"What is this place?" I wonder aloud.
"Thissss iss the endlesssss pit Persssseussss Jackssssson" a hissing voice says from nearby.
I spin, pulling riptide out of my pocket and uncapping it. I dart riptide around, looking for the owner of the hissing voice.
"Who are you?" I ask, holding riptide out in front of me.
"I am Sssssnake" says the voice, and I hear slithering along the red sands.
I look down and see a huge snake, it was as tall as my waist when on the ground, and over 4 times thicker than me.
I attempt to not look scared, but I could feel sweat flowing off my face in buckets. The snake's voice seemed ancient and powerful. Even more powerful than Jormundgandr, even if this snake's size paled in comparison.
"I am the firssssst sssssnake, created by Helix, the sssssssecond brother." Snake says.
"Then why are you d-down here?" I ask, my voice quivering sightly.
"Order. I wassssss peacefully sssssslithering along the edge of the endlesssssss pit, and ssssssuddenly the banisssshed one was ssssssstanding behind me. He sssssaid I couldn't interrupt his planssssss and threw me down here before I could react." Snake says, eyes narrowing.
"D-do you k-know the way out?" I ask, my fear evident in my voice.
"Yesssss" says Snake. "I am heading there know sssssss" he says.
"Can I follow" I ask.
"Yesssssss, but I cannot guarantee you will live sssssss" Snake says.
I sigh in relief, so he didn't want to kill me.
Snake starts to slither in front of me, and I start walking alongside the mighty snake.
The path soon became hard and rocky, causing me to slip on the rocks that Snake just slithers over. I look out in front and to my utter surprise I could see lava, red hot magma, not far away. Snake however, just keeps slithering towards the magma, stopping only once he reached its banks.
I walk up to where he was looking and jumped back at the sight of a giant cliff in which the lava spilled off in a huge lavafall.
"Now ssssss we enter the sssss pit of Crasssssan" says Snake.
The name Crasan sent a shiver down my spine. Just the name was enough to make me retch in fear at the power the name installed into the area around us. The red mist slowly became black, and I soon could only see a meter in front of me.
"The firsssssst challenge" says Snake, and starts slithering towards where I knew the edge of the cliff to be.
I slowly approach where Snake's head was, and I see a narrow path leading down into the darkness.
"After you ssssss" hisses Snake.
With a deep breath, I take the first step towards the pit of Crasan.

Third Person POV
Zarcrix looked at the demigods as they finished burying their dead.
Suddenly a buzz rang through Zarcrix's ears. Zarcrix quickly pulls out the small device and puts in his ear.
"OverLord God?" he asks.
"Overlord UC1 Zarcrix" the voice greets.
"What is happening?" asks Zarcrix.
"Overlord UC23 believes he has the right to attack UC31 as an attempt to become a more powerful UC." God says.
"The first UC war" Zarcrix says in disbelief. "What do you want me to do?" asks Zarcrix.
"I need you to take the UC1 army and show UC23 that even taking all 70 UC's would not be enough for UC1. Take the entire army of 23460386573394 small fighter ships, the 468364483749 medium fighter ships, the 3734718354 large fighter ships and the 4736484 guardian ships. Also, take the 37463284 laser carriers, and 10 Solar bombs from the Maisjf sun. Oh, and the 7491847349826474382 space warriors as well as high rank forcefield defence. To be led by Commander Glasaco on a mission to stop the war before it starts." God states.
"Yes sir" says Zarcrix. "What is the size of their army?" he asks.
"10000 small fighter ships, 1000 medium fighter ships, 200 large fighter ships, 1 guardian ship. 100 laser carriers and 20000 space warriors." Says God.
"I shall start immediately." Says Zarcrix.
Zarcrix then vanishes, not wanting to fail the UC Overlord, God.
Nyx stares in disbelief at the spot her father was just in.
"Argh, Nyx? What was that?" asks Katie.
"Zarcrix just went to stop the biggest war in history of the universes." Says Nyx.
"What does UC mean?" asks Katie.
"Universal Community. Numbered from largest to smallest. For instance, the universal community Zarcrix owns is this community of universes. Number 1, the largest. There is a total of 71 UC's, and you reside in the largest. The largest by far. UC1, our community, has 200 universes. UC2, the second biggest, has just 23 universes." Says Nyx.
"So how many universes does UC71 have?" asks Katie.
"2" says Nyx. "Just like 27 other UC's have."
Katie raises her eyebrows, 28 Universal Communities had 2?
"Wait, what will we do without him or Percy?" asks Katie in disbelief, remembering how important Zarcrix is to the mission to stop Order.
"We will just have to fight" says Nyx grimly.

Percy POV
I carefully make my way down the steep narrow path. My back pressed against the wall of the cliff, hoping my next step wouldn't be my last.
The darkness was everywhere, and I couldn't see anything except the ground a meter in front. I shuffle sideways down the path, hoping I wouldn't fall off the edge of the huge cliff.
Suddenly a loose rock flicks up and hits me in the face, distracting me. My foot slips and I tumble towards the edge. As quick as I could I grab the edge of the path, and start hauling myself up.
"I told you that you would die sssssss" I hear Snake hiss, then he bites my knuckles that were hanging onto the cliff, and I tumble into the darkness below.
AN: I hope you enjoyed! As school, has started, I will only be able to update once or twice a week due to homework and such. I will aim to update every 3 or 4 days, but I can't guarantee it. Thanks for reading! And please review.
