Chapter 123: Zeth Takes On All Spiders and Centipedes

Chapter 123: Zeth Takes On All Spiders and Centipedes

With the second divine stone being used, Zeth stands, his body full of divine power.

“I’m going to bring an end to this power struggle!” Zeth declares as he returns to the city and effortlessly begins smashing spiders and centipedes using only punches and kicks.

A group of spiders rushes up from behind him. He turns quickly and unleashes a massive wave of golden energy.

“Shining Wave!”

The attack obliterates the spiders, leaving nothing left of them.

Zeth charges into a nearby building and tears through spiders and centipedes in the halls, destroying them all with nothing but punches and kicks. He moves from room to room, killing even more of them. When he finishes, he leaps back out onto the street. The spiders and centipedes in the area stop what they are doing and turn their full attention toward him.

“All of you brought this on yourselves!” Zeth yells. “Leave these people alone!”

Zeth unleashes his Shining Wave at every spider and centipede on the street.

“I won’t allow any further terrorizing in this city!!”

He moves on to another street.

From the top of a rooftop, Keith watches the destruction unfold below. “Amazing. So this is divine power!”

***

Back with Sasha and Zaydra.

“Should we help?” Sasha asks.

“No, he seems to be on a roll,” Zaydra replies. “Let him have this one.”

***

Zeth’s onslaught continues.

Zeth becomes surrounded as spiders and centipedes begin working together in an attempt to bring him down. He smiles with full confidence. “You monsters don’t stand a chance!”

They rush toward him all at once. He tears through them in a relentless sequence of attacks, punch to kick to gut rip to three punches to elbow to stomp to two kicks to arm smash to two swipe kicks.

He finishes them off by launching a barrage of Star Shards.

“Even working together, none of you stand a chance!! All of you should just leave the city now!!”

Zeth leaps from building to building, destroying every spider and centipede inside.

***

Meanwhile, just outside the city.

Korobu approaches the outskirts, watching the chaos from afar.

“I see. So Zeth is destroying numerous spiders and centipedes in the city. Interesting.”

***

Back with Zeth. By this point, he has cleared out 80% of the city from spiders and centipedes.

Zeth moves through the remaining streets. As he continues his onslaught, the spiders and centipedes he has not yet encountered begin fleeing the city.

They are stopped by the other heroes, who get in their way.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Zaydra asks, glaring at them. “You all still have to be punished for the crimes you have committed.”

Zaydra, Sasha, Keith, Emily, Kurt, and Joe destroy the fleeing enemies, not letting a single one by.

Zeth finishes off the remaining spiders and centipedes on his own.

“Good riddance,” he says with a victorious smile.

***

Zeth reunites with the others as his temporary divine power fades, returning his hair to black and his irises to brown.

“I guess with that over, we can relax for a bit,” Zeth says.

“And I see that with Spay dead, you were able to kill the spiders,” Keith says with a grin.

Zeth nods. “Yep! I hope I never have to deal with this spiderfication thing ever again!”

They all laugh, finally able to relax with the power struggle ending.

***

Meanwhile, with Korobu.

Korobu stands at the entrance of Telecouch City.

Smirking, he thinks, “Once Zeth and his friends leave this city, everyone here will belong to the abyss.”

An evil plot begins to unfold.
