(General P.O.V)

Saisei dived in with the ball grasped in his hands. The aim was to send the reinforced football through the ever shifting hoop on the head of the other team's court. The game was a fusion between football, basketball, Wizard's quidditch and strangely enough, pool.

There were two goals. Each placed at the end of the wide court. The court measured 100 meters by 50 meters. Oh and it had zones that when stepped on would reveal various traps littered across the wide field. Hence, the players had to strictly stick to the air.

Wind blades pushed through the clouds, sailing towards him. Saisei dodged to the right only for the blades to chase after after him in his dragon form. He flapped his tail and sent a swathe of flames racing behind him. The explosion from the contact of both attacks pushed him to the ground.

His wings flapped to arrest his momentum, only for the wind to suddenly disappear from his position. He plunged to the ground with a yelp. A giggle passed him by, grabbing the ball from his claws. Breeze materialized and blew a raspberry, speeding away towards Sai and Match's goal.

Meanwhile Sai managed to shift his form into a human and released jet flames like he'd seen their dad do, to stop himself from landing on the ground. He did so, only a few centimeters of from the ground and breathed out a sigh of relief. The wind blew lightly and a a blade of grass, touched the bottom of his souls. An explosion swallowed his position. Breeze laughed again.

Match who was close to the goal scrunched up his small face in concentration. His eyes glowed red and a second later heat beams shot out of his eyes, aimed at Breeze. The little girl giggled as she evaded.

"Missed me!"

"Missed me again!"

"You can't hit me!"

"Oh so close."

"Eat my wind."

Match grew annoyed by the near constant misses and released a large blazing red heat beam that unexpectedly curved through the air, confusing Breeze.

She let out a small yelp when the beam hit the ever present wind shield she had on around her at all time, pushing her away through the air. The next beams from Match clashed Head on with purple destructive beams from Kai.

"Beware my destructive beams of chaos flames and darkness!"

She cackled like a mad man, sending another twin beams shooting from her eyes to hit Match. Match responded in kind. Both kids entered a beam struggle. Each trying to overpower the other, though Kai had a slight advantage over Match.

Breeze neatly appeared as a tornado behind Match and neatly threw the ball inside the hoop before the hole was covered by shifting plates.

A whistle blew.

"The girls win."

Star announced where she was floating in mid air. Kai and Match stopped their beam clash as the former went to celebrate with Breeze.

Match met up with Sai who was covered in soot and flew towards Star.

"Rematch!"

He demanded.

"Rematch!"

Match added a second later.

Starfire giggled at their adorable tantrums and rubbed their heads affectionately.

"Maybe after snacks. For now go and wash up."

She turned to the girls trying to sneak away.

"The same goes for you two. Breeze, you are covered all over in mud! Where did the mud even come from?"

(Elsewhere) Japan. Kyoto.

In the Shinto religion, a myth existed. The myth of a monster with 8 heads. While the Justice League was occupied with saving the people trapped in the Chaos vortexes, something curious happened off the coast of Izumo in the Shimane Prefecture.

A chaos vortex manifested in the ocean pulling in water, sea creatures and most of all...the nascent energy in the air. The energy underwent a process of mutation before the vortex ceased pulling in energy.

Three figures and a cat appeared above the ocean.

"Hey... weren't we here before?"

Klarion asked, rubbing Teekl's back affectionately. Child snorted.

"You forget our main purpose here, brother."

She mocked.

"There's never a bad time to sow chaos." She grinned evilly.

"Right. I still don't understand."

Klarion whined.

"Child rolled her eyes.

"I left a little surprise in here for the meddlesome fools following us. I just wanted to give the process a nudge before we left this continent."

She stretched out a hand and snapped her fingers. A flame burning black as the night covered the vortex before melding with it and returning to it's earlier inert state.

"There. Now let's go."

A twisting portal swallowed them away. 2 minutes later, a yellow circle appeared atop of a building overlooking the ocean.

"Fucking mother of a goat's arsehole! Missed the bloody twats again!"

Constantine let out a profanity, hands going to his shirt pocket.

He held up a hand to stop Deadman from saying anything.

"Don't. I need a smoke to understand this poxy shit."

He took a drag and blew out the smoke only for it to be swept away by the suddenly violent winds.

"Aah...is it just me or did the weather change all of a sudden?"

Deadman asked.

The cig on Constantine's mouth fell off.

"Oh Fuck me."

"What?"

Deadman asked following Constantine's eyes.

"That's an eye right?"

There was something watching them through the chaos vortex above the ocean.

(General P.O.V)

Aden let go of the trench coat and paid it no mind as it disappeared into his hammer space.

"So who wants to go fi..."

Clang!

The move was swift. Aden's hand shook from the force of the blow that transferred from Equity's broad side.

Athena's eyes blazed with fury. She was pissed.

"You are done for! None of us could attack you with our full power in the hall due to the risk it carried. But out here? You SHALL UNDERSTAND WHY I AM A GOD OF BATTLE!"

saliva spat out as she grunted and pushed him away.

Aden allowed the force to shove him back. He leaned forward to retaliate but felt a whoosh pass him by, narrowly missing him as he twisted and dodged. A barrier of wind was elected to block it's recurve path. The barrier failed to hold back Hermes as he vibrated through.

His Elbow landed on Aden's open palm, while the latter threw Equity to his left like a blazing missile to obstruct the snake construct made of water before it could slam into him, courtesy of the god of the seas, Poseidon.

Equity speared through it's liquid form and exploded in a ball of black flames that immediately evaporated the water, bringing forth steam that covered the whole area. Grunts sounded out from the steam.

Hermes punch snaked out to land on Aden's forearm, successfully blocked from its initial path to his cheek. A right hook was swiped away by Aden's left hand, the elbow landing on Hermes chest, seizing up his lungs but as a god, his biology was different, so he moved on with no reaction.

The god of speed sent a round kick that Aden ducked under, before extending his heel over his head to slam a foot on Hermes' face. The god blocked the foot by crossing his hands together.

Hermes' eyes widened a second too late as the air crackled with sparks and an explosion sent him tumbling away. The smell of burnt skin spread out as ichor poured down his hands. He took a second step towards Aden, only for his body to rock to the side following a nasty hook.

A trail of blue lightning passed by him and an upper cut threw his body to the sky.The hit rattled his jaw, breaking a few teeth. Then an axe kick landed on top of his head, dazing the god of travel. A boom tube appeared below Hermes and swallowed him.

"Time out bitch."

Aden muttered.

"Hermes!!"

Athena shouted springing forth in more anger as she swiped out a hand and a pressure blast from her aura sent the mist floating away. Aden dodged the swing of her conjured sword then, the thrust from a stinging spear that appeared in her other hand.

He raised his leg to avoid the sweep and marveled as he found himself actually pushed back by her moves. He pulled in aggressively and leaned far back sliding under her slash only for Athena to spin in a crouch and bring down the short sword in her arms plunging down his chest.

Aden's palm held the weapon at bay. His position did not give him enough leverage to use his full strength so he knew one slip up and he was dead. It filled him with an excitement he had only felt while fighting Apollo. Still...a blast of white fire folded within him and then exploded out, pushing off Athena to the sky.

White fire was surprisingly more easier to mold than any other flames he had. He currently possessed 2 unlocked fire subskills, lightning and combustion bending. The blue fire and white fire were part of another Subskill that was yet unlocked due to him not accessing the rest of the colors.

He had a feeling that he was close to mastering the Subskill and once he did so, he would carry out the advancement trial. A lightning bolt cut through the skies as it it sped down towards Aden. And his first step was getting an understanding on how divinity interacted with the elements. Last time he couldn't misdirect Black Adam's attack but now? He was much stronger.

His stance stabilized as he spread out his legs. He breathed in and out as he felt his hair tingle signaling that Zeus was making a move. A golden streak of divine lightning fell on Aden's two outstretched fingers.

He wound his hand back and twisted it across his chest holding the lightning tightly within him under his control. A huge mega sword easily 20 meters was created by Athena and fell down on his position, the pointy end aimed for his head.

Then lightning screeched as Aden's raised up his hand. His body was covered in numerous streaks of golden lightning, then the lightning changed color to a silent but humming purple then to a loud and screeching green then a black color that sent shivers across the gods who had yet to make a move. Most of them had chosen to only intervene if necessary. The last color of the lightning necessitated that.

A vibrating silver lightning. One streak jumped off of Aden and completely decimated the sword hanging above him. Chunks of metal that turned to ash upon falling down, showered around Aden like a hail storm.

"Huh so that's what I was missing. A taste of divinity. With that understanding... everything became so much easier. It was like a key..."
