Chapter 13: A Foe?
As Marco was shooting across the endless seas of trees, he was shocked at how vast the forest was. Feeling that something was off he kicked off even harder, sonic booms blasted behind Marco as he accelerated further. He knew that something was happening, as he accelerated, he was covering a vast distance. For reference, he could have travelled from California to Japan within the past few seconds.
Marco decelerated and summoned his scythe, his eyes darkening until it seemed like it was devouring the surrounding light. His hair began to float and he raised his power, this small burst flattened the surrounding area. Wildlife was culled, everything was vapourised and the moisture in the air was immediately bare.
In the area no life was present. Marco looked at the edge of the destroyed forest that was quickly encroaching back into the destroyed land. Raising an eyebrow he simply appeared in the air and threw a blast of power towards a random direction. As the ray of power travelled it tore apart the ground, as it burrowed deeper, he noticed something. He was being watched it was just he didn't know which coward was hiding from him. He had his blood boiling as he roared "Get out here you coward or I will simply destroy this forest that you seem to hide behind and torture you."
Marco was over-reacting, the reason was very simple, it was his pride as a god. He thought that someone like him was just a simple person. Just after awakening, he had the mentality to push his limits to get stronger NO MATTER THE CHALLENGE! Now something that can potentially match him or is stronger than him refused to appear and fight. This led Marco to be completely irate before his anger could hit the ceiling, however, he saw something amazing.
As he was glaring at the forest, he saw that the forest was staring at him. A surreal sight, as the trees, streams and earth reformed to resemble a gigantic eye. As the pupil focused on Marco the earth began to tremble. As the trembling got worse Marco saw that the hills were rapidly rising. In the next second the hill became mountains and began to converge on him, as if nature gained sentience the green shot towards Marco.
In an instant Marco found himself being attacked by the green from the ground and having massive mountain-like earth spears raining at him from above. This image would bring anyone despair, being attacked from every angle, position and by nature itself. No one could avoid this seemingly endless bombardment of attacks.
Marco just closed his eyes smiling, "Well... NOW WE ARE TALKING YOU COWAARRRDDDD!" A massive smile broke out on Marco's face, his smile was so big that it was threatening to tear his face apart. He expelled a massive amount of energy, instantly the sky was painted black with him simply swinging his scythe.
The power Marco was releasing just disappeared as the attacks shot towards him. Just before the attacks could reach him everything as far as the eye could see was eviscerated. As if an infinite number of slashed shot in every direction, this resulted in everything being destroyed. Nothing was left as a blood-curdling scream rose from directly below Marco. He saw that a woman with green hair crawled out of the ground and was now coughing up blood.
Seeing that his aggressor finally revealed itself he vanished with a burst of speed appearing behind her. As she fought for air while still coughing blood Marco kicked her side hard. She rolled and spewed more blood across the ground, as she slowed down the endless nature started to shrink and appeared to be a national park he was familiar with.
