-Izanagi gets up recalling his sword to him and putting it in a blocking position ready to block any of Hermes' attacks but Hermes is too fast for him-

"Over here, no over no over here come on hit me hit me" Hermes is just playing with him at this point "Come on great Kami sure you shouldn't be able to see me but should be able to react and Zeus said I should be careful about you said you're dangerous but you're just trash"

-Hermes keeps on kicking and punching Izanagi as Izanagi tries to back away until he's punched into a tree and appears knocked out"

"hmph that quick huh Zeus said you were supposed to be dangerous I wonder how Zeus will reward me when I take you back," Hermes says beaming with pride thinking of everything he'll be getting

-Hermes starts walking up to Izanagi and as he's there he pins down Izanagi and kicks him in the stomach-

"you thought I would fall for you pretending to be asleep how stupid do you think I am," Hermes said prepared to stomp on Izanagi's face

"pretty stupid" Izanagi says as he summons some earth pillars and blasts Hermes into the sky before running into the woods

-Hermes falls back to the ground seething with rage-

"That was a lucky hit and you know it don't get ahead of yourself cause you won't be getting another hit like that you trash," Hermes says as he zooms into the woods

"Sure you can go with that narrative" Izanagi's voice echoes in the wood leaving Hermes confused and agitated

"SHOW YOURSELF COWARD" Hermes exclaims

"I'm behind you," Izanagi says his voice still echoing

-Hermes turns around in a flash and throws a kick but nothing's there-

"idiot you fell for that" Izanagi burst out laughing

-While Hermes is distracted out of the ground 4 Earth pillars appear and coil around him and tighten and while Hermes is struggling to get out Izanagi comes and watches from a distance-

"you're one of the biggest idiots I've ever seen getting caught in such a simple trap listening to the enemy you didn't even try to search for my mana not that it would work anyway," Izanagi says with a smile on his face before sighing "I wonder how lord Zeus is gonna feel hearing you lost to a kami who hasn't even been with the gods for thousands of years"

-Hermes keeps on struggling while the coils ensnaring around him and he falls to his feet-

"Hey Hermes you wanna know something those Pillars are filled with Mana bombs the more you squirmed the more the energy was converted so I wonder how much damage would be done if I just let it blow" Izanagi is full-on smirking

"IZANAGI YOU BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU" Hermes squirms more as the pillars get heavier

"Bye Hermes" Izanagi snaps his fingers and a massive explosion happens as the earth bomb blows with the forest part destroyed "I did too much the Humans will appear soon too I should grab Hermes and get out of here"

-Izanagi walks toward Hermes thinking about the events of today-

"all because those idiots wouldn't leave me alone" Izanagi sighs as he picked up Hermes "I guess I was a little happy to see Izanami" Izanagi's smile widened before he stops "What am I thinking were enemies what if I just aplo- no it wouldn't matter"

-As Izanagi is lost in his thought Hermes wakes up infuse his fist with divine energy and punches Izanagi away now dear reader you are probably wondering how did Hermes not get knocked out from a blow of that power well he did but I'll let him explain-

"I was sure I knocked you out with that blast how the hell did you get back up," Izanagi says getting back on his feet

"I was knocked out you bastard," Hermes says Izanagi's name with disdain before going back to his smiling face "But along with being devilishly handsome and incredibly strong I'm also a prodigy adapting to something like that was easy"

-Izanagi stares at Hermes with a face that doesn't believe what he's saying-

"Hey get rid of that face" Hermes points at him angrily before striking a pose "I am a prodigy when the bombs were about to blow I racked my genius blow before I came up with a plan drumroll please as the humans say I Accelerated the pain knocking me out but I was able to just be knocked out for only a few seconds but all coll spells have to have a name maybe one like Pain Acceleration yes I know praise the genius that is me Izanagi you can give up right now but since I answered your question you have to answer mine"

"why would I do that," Izanagi says unethusiactactly

"well I'll ignore that but I hear in Shinto myth that you have a very powerful spear so I wonder why aren't you using it," Hermes says smoking

"I-I destroyed it so shut up about it" Izanagi is gripping his fist while saying it

"Hmph, you're a pretty bad liar you know but not everyone can be a great liar like me it's a skill that comes naturally" Hermes is litterly shining while saying this

-Izangi is watching Hermes brag before just attacking with an earth pillar which Hermes dodges easily-

"You're insane not a prodigy all I have to do is give you so much pain you die of shock," Izanagi says getting into a stance

"Hmph you must have not learned from our previous battle but I outspeed you" Hermes starts gathering large amounts of divine power while Izanagi starts thinking

"I have to find a way to keep up with his speed think think think...this dangerous but it's my only way I'll have to pour divine power into my eyes if I put too much in they might burst but it's my only way to win and beat this so-called prodigy," Izanagi says the puzzle piece for hermes defeat finally in place

-Izanagi starts smiling just before Hermes launches off a kick at his head which he gets hit by and is forced to move back a little-

"Something's wrong," Hermes thinks "He was supposed to be sent flying by that kick maybe I didn't put enough power into it" Hermes is thinking before Izanagi swings his sword but Hermes dodges it easily "I can still dodge his attacks I'll send him flying with the next kick

-Hermes backs off but Izanagi keeps on keeping up with him managing to give him a small slash on his arm-

"it seems the Prodigy's being backed into a corner come up with an idea to get out of this great prodigy accelerate your pain do something beating a weakling who only has speed going for him is completely unfair and boring" Izanagi is smirking feeling superior to Hermes

"No Immposible how could you defeat me I'm a prodigy strongest of the strong you can't beat me I'm above your skill level I'm the strongest I-I can't be beaten" Hermes starts breaking down and Izanagi starts moving closer and closer to him ready to swing his sword

"Kami, you're pathetic giving up the moment things get hard never should have taken the job if you can't complete it"

-Izanagi prepares to swing his sword but is kicked in the stomach and sent flying by Hermes who's smirking-

"Your first mistake was trusting your enemy" Hermes is smiling at Izanagi on the floor struggling to get back up "Your second mistake was giving me the time to get used to your stupid ability the reason you weren't sent flying before was that you had protected your body with divine power but a surprise attack from me was enough to break that down"

-Izanagi manages to push himself up with his katana preparing to get into a stance-

"It doesn't matter I've gotten used to your speed I can take you on easily"

-As Izanagi says this Hermes bends back and laughs before looking at Izanagi seriously-

"Then I'll just have to go faster than before let me show you a move I've named Infinite Velocity see if you can keep up kami of creation," Hermes says before bending down into a sitting position and then jumping into the air

"what the hell is he doing Increasing his speed I'll have to see how far he can go," Izanagi says preparing to counter-attack

-Hermes is in the air and he starts bouncing around on something and very soon surpasses his original speed-

"what the hell he's like a ping-pong ball" Izanagi says this a little worried watch, Hermes

-Hermes finally stops in the air while he comes back to the ground and starts doing the same thing on the ground while heading for Izanagi-

"INFINITE VELOCITY IS UNBEATABLE"

-Hermes says this reaching Izanagi in an instant kicking him in the stomach and sending him flying before Izanagi can hit any of the other trees Hermes appears behind him and slams him to the ground knocking him down and putting his feet on his throat before some earth pillars come out the ground and push Hermes away-

"Ugh those are so annoying" Hermes notes "Why can't you just go down to the ground like a normal god and let me capture you you're on your last legs after all"

"As much as I hate to admit it it's true my body feels numb from that attack I'm having problems getting up I need to think of something I can't go down like this" Izanagi is in deep thought before figuring something out "I know what have to do Hermes is an idiot if it was me I would have finished it right then there"

-Izanagi smiles before earth pillars come out of the ground and surround him in a dome and Hermes flashes to the dome-

"Hiding won't do anything I'll just break it down"

-Hermes delivers multiple blows to the dome before It starts cracking while Hermes is distracted Izanagi comes out of the ground and starts crawling away-

"You think I don't notice you Izanagi you think you can escape did you think I wouldn't notice you" Hermes' veins are bulging but Ianagi is just smiling

"should have finished me off when you had the chance" Izanagi smirks before an earth pillar comes out of the ground and shoves Hermes back

"you think that's gonna work Izanagi the dome is still closed "Hermes looks back and sees the dome opening and his arrogance turns to shock "IZANAGIIIIIIIII YOU BASTARD"

-Hermes is shoved in and the dome closes and the domes start tightening around Hermes until it's like body armor Izanagi gives a smirk and the whole thing blows up but manages to block the explosion with a dome-

"ugh it's finally over even if he accelerates his pain his bones are broken" Izanagi smirks but starts hearing footsteps "Yeah two explosions in the same place probably alerted the humans I should get out of here but I think Hermes will be captured eh f*ck that guy"

-Izanagi starts crawling away but while he does that Hermes gets up blood leaking down his whole forehead-

"I don't know where to be impressed or mad that you managed to get up, I think I understand what you did you just upped the pain acceleration to your bones how unfair," Izanagi says and smirks "I'm acting all tough but I don't think I have any more strength in me maybe I should have trained more in the human world"

-Hermes is staring at Izanagi with pure rage before grabbing him by the shirt-

"MY FACE YOU BASTARD" Hermes is furious before putting his hand close to Izanagi's eye and forming sharp nails out of his divine aura "I've only been using kicks on you but I think the old geezer wouldn't mind if I cut you up a bit"

"Ah that's what cut Izanami good things she's not here I-I wouldn't want her to get hurt," Izanagi says preparing to give up

-the footsteps eventually reach the area and Izanagi turns his head to see who's there looking in shock-

"IZANAMI" Izanagi screams "WHY ARE YOU HERE"

-Izanami scoffs before answering-

"to save you, of course, Idiot," Izanagi says dryly

"I don't need your help," Izanagi says struggling to free himself of Hermes grip

-Izanami looks at him blankly-

"Sure you don't" Izanami looks at Hermes with disgust "You're losing to a fool like him you must have stagnated a lot"

"Who the hell are you calling a fool you here for your little boyfriend," Hermes says tightening his grip on Izanagi

-Izanami's face blushes for a moment before she and Izanagi both respond-

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT" they both scream

"ugh one I have to deal with one idiot after the other" Hermes throws Izanagi at Izanami who captures him

"you okay creep" Izanami ask a little worried

"stop calling me a creep" Izanagi responds

-Izanami looks a little bashful at what she's about to say next and she starts twirling her hair-

"U-um thanks for trying to protect me not that I needed it but thanks" Izanami looks away waiting for Izanagi's reaction

"y-you knew how," Izanagi asked

"Ameno told me" Izanami answers

"ah of course he still talks to you" Izanagi looks around before asking another question "Where's Hachiman and Kagutsuchi"

"they're blocking the area off," Izanami says preparing to get up

"well thanks for coming to save me," Izanagi says smiling making Izanami blush a little and turn her head away

"I only did it because you were important to the war don't get any other ideas," Izanami says frantically

-Before Izanagi can respond Hermes interrupts-

"All right can you two love birds break it up" Both of them scream the same thing from last time leaving Hermes with a blank face "All right let's just finish this fight first"

"my pleasure" Izanami retorts unleashing bloodlust

-Izanami forms a scythe out of her divine aura but as she's about to fight Izanagi stops her-

"use a spear he's too fast for the scythe to hit," Izanagi says

"but the scythes are my main weapon" Izanami retorts

"you'll get hurt and I don't want you to use a spear," Izanagi says more forceful this time

"ugh fine stop worrying I'll use a spear," Izanami says waiting for the weapon to change when the scythe finishes transforming into a spear she stares at Hermes with murderous intent "Heremes pray to every god you know cause you won't be getting out of this unfazed"

"cocky b*tch" Hermes replies

-Izanami is stunned for a moment before replying back-

"Ugly Narcisistct man child"

-Hermes releases killing intent and charges at her with his divine aura nails on, Izanami does a jab but Hermes dodges it easily and jumps into the sky and swings his leg down Izanami blocks it before backing away-

"Ugh he's fast Izanagi how did you deal with him" Izanami looks at Izanagi before she sighs "No looking at you that's probably not a good question

"I put divine Energy into my eyes," Izanagi says unethusastictly

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT" Izanami scrunched up her face "You haven't used divine energy in thousands of years you could have popped a vein"

-Izanami starts pouring power into her eyes as Izanagi says before charging at Hermes, Hermes blocks the blow but struggles to keep up with her strength before she manages to kick him in the stomach but he manages to not be sent flying-

"hmph I guess you're not half bad but if that's the limit of your speed then you lose just like him INFINITE VELOCITY" Hermes shouts

-Hermes does his ping pong ball move and blasts up to Izanami at blinding speed only to get smacked by something and fall to the ground-

"ARGH WHAT THE HELL" Hermes screams before getting up and punching the air and punching a hard wall "What is this"

"simple while you were bouncing around I just made a wall of divine energy how stupid do you have to be to not realize that" Izanami smirks "But then again it's you"

"I'M A PRODIGY DO YOU THINK A SILLY WALL WILL STOP ME" Hermes screams

-Hermes gathers divine energy into his fist and punches the wall shattering it but as it shatters Izanagi jumps up to Hermes in the blink of an eye and prepares to jab her spear at him-

"you were too distracted with breaking down the wall to notice me scheming you're truly an idiot even Izanagi wouldn't fall for that" Hermes grits his teeth preparing to move but Izanami already prepares a move her spear fills with dark energy and she prepares to jab it "Deaths Cursed Jab"

-Izanami hits Hermes right in the stomach and Hermes is sent flying into a tree and slumps down but tries to get up and put divine energy into his fist-

"It doesn't matter if you put divine energy into your fist the attack is called cursed for a reason I've managed to make your divine blood flow slower give up hermes you're beaten even if you do make a weapon" Izanami points her spear right at him

-Hermes burst out laughing making Izanami raise her eyebrow-

"No matter how much you say it you care about Izanagi and that is the reason you're going to lose" Hermes does a small smile before getting into a running position "Hey Izanami I'm going to attack Izanagi see if you can stop me"

-Hermes makes a divine aura wall and his divine nails and jumps off the wall straight at Izanagi he's about to slash Izanagi before Izanami comes and blocks him where her spear-

"Checkmate" Hermes puts a burst of energy into his nails and slashes Izanami's spear cutting it in half and doing a diagonal slash on Izanami's body making her fall to the ground

"I-IZANAMI" Izanagi starts hyperventilating "THAT'S WHY I DIDN"T WANT YOU HERE YOU WERE GONNA GET HURT"

-Hermes starts laughing maniacally as everything starts going slow for Izanagi-

"I couldn't protect her whenever she needs my help I'm never able to do anything or won't I-I hate myself most of all "Visions of a black-haired Izanagi with brighter red eyes and a pretty smile flash "Amenonuhoko I summon you"

-Izanagi says this and then we cut to the sky and see a spear with many jewels fall in front of Izanagi as he grabs it-

"Hello there my pitiful master," Amenonuhoko says drowsily "You finally call me after all these years of letting me sleep"

"I need your help please," Izanagi says darkly

"hmph no apology at all you're so insolent" Amenonuhoko sighs before talking "but I could never go against you"

-Izanagi manages to stand up and divine aura from the spear starts pouring into him-

"Balance Breaker"

-Izanagi says this and behind him, a long blond-headed girl with some it brown eyes and wearing the clothes of a miko makes an appearance and Izanagi flashes with light-

"I'm gonna kill you Hermes and nothing's gonna stop me," Izanagi says angrily

-the flashing stops and Izanagi walks out covered in black armor breathing madly we cut to Kagutsuchi and Hachiman turning back every visitor before they both shudder-

"what was that intense aura" Hachiman exclaims "Is Lady Izanami alright"

-Both of them look worried and then we cut to Zeus sitting on the chair as someone walks in

"ah Hera what are you doing here," Zeus says blankly

-Hera is an attractive woman who looks to be in her mid-30s with her brown auburn hair in a bun (I like big words) she's wearing a cloth that has a hole in the middle that reveals a small part of her cleavage and ends it with the classic white pants and brown sandals duo-

"Don't mess with me, Zeus what the hell was that aura I just felt?" Hera says practically yelling

-Zeus ponders for a bit before sighing-

"Hermes that idiot messed up I bet he confronted him and took too long" Zeus pinches his face "The aura was Izanagi's battle breaker"

"YOU MEAN IZANAGI-NO-MIKOTO" Hera exclaims "I've always wanted to punch that bastard for what he did to Izanami"

"I would say Izanagi-No-Okami's name suits him better in that form" Zeugh sighs "Hermes is most likely gonna die how sad"

-Viens appear on Heras' head-

"IS THAT REALLY ALL YOU'RE GONNA SAY"

"there's nothing we can do if Izanagi released killing intent during it Hermes probably did something to make him go berserk he was a nice chess piece though don't you think," Zeus says smiling

-Hera stares at Zeus in disgust and starts walking out and we cut to someone sitting on a Japanese house building wearing a blue hakama that has waves pattern on it with now cloaks next they're wearing black pants that have bent on them-

"So the old geezers finally decided to show himself huh" The man says this and scoffs"

"Susanoo I've been calling you for a minute get down here," A mysterious female voice says

"ugh yes Hina," Susanoo says jumping down

-Hina grabs Susanoo by the ear and pulls him to a table-

"Don't ugh me now come and eat" Hina says before sitting down

-we cut to a man who has long light blue hair tied in a ponytail wearing a plain white hakama with something inside the cloth and whit unbent pants he's sitting down in a meditating position-

"Hmm I recognize that aura Izanagi" Just as he says this a servant bursts in

"Lord Tsukoyomi Lady Amaterasu wants those scrolls"

"ah yes they're on the table," Tsukoyomi says

"thank you, sir" The servant takes the scroll and runs out

-We cut to a room filled with paperwork and see a woman who looks quite familiar filling it all out with bags under their eyes they have long black hair that flows down to their back and is wearing a Miko outfit before they twitches-

"D-dad," they say before someone bursts in

"Lady Amaterasu I've got the scroll," Says the servant

"Good job just put it in the vault," Amaterasu says

"Yes mam," says the servant rushing out

-We see everyone's pov lined up in a line all thinking about the energy that was released and cut back to Izanagi scaring Hermes and jumping at him with his spear-
