It would likely be a shock to the god of the Sun when, after managing to force his way through the front line of soldiers defending their learned, the man with a horned helmet swung his blade in an arc and [i]blocked[/i] his initial strike with a resounding clash of metal on metal. It certainly wasn't an [i]easy[/i] feet, given the way his entire body rocked from the impacted, but this time it appeared he had prepared himself and answered in kind.

The mere fact a mortal could defend themselves in this fashion would perhaps be a clear sign of he position the deities were in right now.

Indeed, of the remaining soldiers, several of them immediately took aim at the engaged Sun God and prepared to open fire. It was Ashte's intervention, the sharp cracking sounds of her stolen weapon immediately sounding the death of one of the soldiers and forcing them to turn to try and defend themselves, that spared him time to press his assault. Indeed, the lives of two soldiers were already claimed by Ashte's fire, and the others were unable to attack O'Menus.

Due to the efforts of Trineon and Alasayana, two of the soldiers with the explosive tubes were dispatched, one impaled with a crimson blade and the other crushed by the Huntress's tail.

Immediately, the nearest soldiers trained their weapons on the Goddess of Justice. While this was a danger to her, the fact that they had been forced to stop focusing on suppressing other attackers meant Aureia had a free window to do more or less whatever she desired.

Their numbers were dwindling, but the fact they were putting up this much of a fight displayed both that they were quite a dedicated force, and that the gods had much power they needed to regain.

The great human-shaped machine was mending under Lopalay's power, steel knitting itself back together steadily. However, even once it had mended, the machine did not move. It appeared it needed something else in order to work, perhaps related to the empty space near the center of its body.
