"I'm the one destined to defeat Zeus, and you think you, a half-god, can defeat me?

" Typhoon screamed at the top of her lungs before slashing her claws at Arnold.

n

"Oh, is that so?

" Arnold smiled and grabbed her claws with ease,

"I just wanna know… who the fck asked?

"

nSaying so, he collected all of his strength, lifted the dragon over his shoulder and slammed her down on the ground. Physically, doing something like that would have been impossible for him in the real world. But since they were fighting inside his mind, there was little to nothing impossible for him.

nTyphoon was boasting about her destiny as if it was ever going to come true now that she was dead. Well, there was a way her wish could come true. Once she became a part of his heart, and he defeated Zeus, then it would mean that she defeated Zeus and fulfilled her destiny.

nOr it could mean she was successful in dominating him and took control of his body and then, defeated Zeus. But this scenario was highly unlikely because, well, he wouldn't let her take control over his body.

nArnold also tried to reason with her, but the dragon bitch being the proud piece of ** she was, couldn't accept working under a 'lowly' human. It was funny how she was adamant about looking down on him, even though he singlehandedly obliterated her entire race as if it was child's play.

n'Technically, it was child's play.' He thought as a smile appeared on his face.

nIt had been a long time since Arnold had enjoyed himself. Well, technically since the day he lost Nicole. But after all the time that had passed, he was finally able to be himself. He was finally able to be who he was supposed to be, a warmonger.

nhe had been fighting stronger enemies one after another for so long, that it had almost become a part of his routine to achieve the impossible and set out again to repeat the same thing over and over again.

nIf someone were to go back in time roughly about 10-15 years and told him he would be fighting dragons, demons and gods to ensure the survival of the world and his sister, he would have laughed at their faces.

nYet here was, doing the exact same thing and loving every freaking second of it.

n

"Why… why… WHY!!!

" Typhoon officially lost her mind.

nShe thought taking over a human's body would be a piece of cake. Especially if the human was unconscious while drunk in the hopes of obtaining the dragon queen's powers. Then she would have been able to dominate Zeus and Loki into submission. That was her entire plan… to stab the backstabbers in the back.

nHowever, her dreams got shattered the moment the first roadblock appeared in the path of her victory. A roadblock in the shame of a human. The worst part? She couldn't have done jack** as she got tossed around and played with continuously.

n***

nMeanwhile, outside the realm of Arnold's conscience, his summons were struggling to keep him alive. As the two hearts began fusing to become one, his human heart stopped beating. It sent all of them in a frenzy.

nThey were worried that Arnold's luck had betrayed him. They were on the verge of losing him when a flash coming out of their master's body blinded them, followed by a whiplash that threw them all away.

nArnold hadn't moved from his spot, yet his body was defending himself. Just like ones' immune system kicked in in a time of need, Arnold's body was trying to fix itself up as his open chest started to seal itself.

n

"Take the heart out!

" Alice yelled at the top of her lungs.

nShe had been wanting to say that ever since Arnold lost his conscience. But as Tiamut was leading them, she could have freely expressed her emotions. However, if she didn't speak up now, Arnold would have most definitely lost his life.

nEven though she didn't know anything about how a dragon's heart worked, she could still tell that the dragon's heart was trying to overpower his human heart. If the hearts got sealed together in such a state, they would most definitely lose Arnold.

nNatasha felt the same, and upon hearing Alice's words, rushed in to pull the heart out. she had barely wrapped her hands around the crystal next to Arnold's heart when Tiamut pushed her away.

n

"The hell do you think you're doing?

" Tiamut revealed her claws and stood in between Arnold and the rest of them,

"If you interfere with the merging now, the master's blood would be on your hands! So back off-

"

n

"Fck you! Can't you see he is already dying!?

" Natasha yelled back at Tiamut,

"If we let this continue, he would end up killing himself! I don't know about what you want, but I certainly don't want that to happen.

"

n

"I'm telling you… everything is going according to-

" Tiamut tried to reason with her but Alice jumped in on the conversation.

n

"According to plan? Arnold dying is according to plan?

" Alice then turned towards Natasha,

"We have to take her down first. Dani, you help us out too!

"

n

"M-Me? The heck do you want me to d-do?

" Dani stuttered. She always had trouble understanding things especially in high-stress situations like these.

n

"We're in the forge! Call your metal golems for **'s sake!

" Natasha yelled at her before readying herself to battle.

nAlice couldn't fight against Tiamut. Not by a long shot. As for Dani, it would take some time for her to assemble the golems. That left her to take it upon herself to fight against Tiamut. Well, at least she thought it was going to be a fight and not a massacre.

n

"You think just by combining your strengths you'll be able to stop me?

" Tiamut banged her fists together and got ready for the fight that was ahead of her.

nShe lunged towards Natasha, but before her fist could touch Natasha's skill, something stopped her.

n

"Why the hell are you morons making so much noise?

" Arnold was standing in between them, countering both of their attacks simultaneously,

"I go for a nap and all hell breaks loose.

"
