Chapter 31: Hand of God.
Guni was talking to a spy who was standing a few meters in front of
the throne which Guni sat on. This spy was a short, dark skinned, dark
haired, dark-eyed person with large bat-like wings coming out of his
back. He wore a dark black sweater and a dark black pair of sweat pants.
"I want you to keep an eye on the moving force from heaven. Once it
reaches the church's main stronghold in the Antarctic, look for an A.C.M
army coming in from behind God's army. And when the battle between the
church and heaven begins, tell me whether or not the A.C.M army attacks
the forces of Heaven or not."
"Yes sir!"
"Good, now begone, go to your work."
"Yes sir!" He bowed, and left the room.
Once the spy was gone, Guni created a black sphere of magic, about
the size of a basketball. The sphere hovered two meters above the
ground, and five meters from Guni. The sphere quickly lit up in an array
of colours, and then settled into an image of a beam of light, falling
onto a group of people. Then the image began to move, it showed the beam
of light come from the sky, hit the people, and leave nothing behind. It
repeated over and over again, depicting that image over and over again.
Guni had examined this scene over and over again, trying to find out
whatever he could about the weapon. Because to fight an enemy, you must
know an enemy. Know your enemy and know yourself, and the battle will be
yours...........
Matthew walked through the snow, shivering terrible. It was so cold,
and his three layers of clothes, plus his winter clothes, didn't make
things much better. And he couldn't use magic, for he may be detected by
the moving army of the heavens.
According to last reports, the army had just taken out the third
perimeter defense. Which meant that there was but an hour, maybe two
before the enemy reached the stronghold. That was if they were moving at
full speed, which they may not be. They could be moving slowly due to
their belief that this new weapon could not be defeated. But Matthew
would prove them wrong! At least in his own twisted little mind he
thought that.
"Hello."
Matthew turned around to see a man, short, about four and a half
feet. He was pale white, skinny, looking rather meek. He wore a white
robe, which had the sleeves cut of, exposing the mans small arms to the
terrible cold. No snow was on his pale, shallow face. Nor was there any
on his short, scruffy brown hair. Actually there was no snow on him
anywhere, or any signs of it. All the snow around him vaporized before
it fell on him, being caused by some sort of magical aura.
The man looked at Matthew with his dark brown eyes, almost
mockingly. "Long time no see."
Matthew nodded. "Isn't it. You looked different last time I saw you,
and the time before that, and the time before that. You do like playing
around, don't you?"
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Or in this case, me. I
like changing my looks, seeing how people react, and don't react. This
also provides perfect cover, who suspects the little weak guy to be the
bearer of the big weapons. Those people who make theat arrogant mistake
die by my hand! They all perish because of the magnificence of my
weapon! Nothing can compare to my power!"
"You really are full of it, aren't you."
"All part of the job description. One of the perks of the job
actually. You know, being God and all. Now, you came here to see the
weapon, did you not?"
Matthew nodded slowly, expecting the weapon to be used soon, and
most likely on himself. "Yes, I did."
A mischievous grin appeared on God's face. "Well then see the true
powerful of the Hand of God!"
And he raised his hand high, as though summoning divine justice from
above. And when his hand reached up towards the sky, the clouds above,
and the snow below parted, leaving a plain field of view between God and
the target. And then a white twinkle appeared in the sky, like a star,
and a stars fury did come down to smite Matthew.
White light came, a large beam of pure white energy. Cylinder in
shape was this light of destruction, and as a large house. When it hit
the earth there was an a large explosion of white light, engulfing God
and Matthew, and everything for hundreds of meters around. And then
silence feel upon the area, deafening silence.
But soon, the white light vanished, leaving an image of God
laughing, and of Matthew kneeling on the ground, panting. Around Matthew
was a green sphere of light, which was starting to fade.
God looked up at the sky as the clouds returned to their original
positions and the snow returned. "I don't actually need to do all of
that, I could just summon it down without all the flash and style. But
it's a lot more fun this way, with the dramatic effect and all."
Matthew stumbled, slowly up to his feet. It took him a few seconds
to gain his balance, he had the wind knocked out of him with the blow
from the Hand of God. "What the hell kind of weapon is that?"
God chuckled a little and looked at his hand. "Well, it's a
compressed, energy cannon. Using both a combination of magic and
technology. It replies to messages sent through a radio- like device.
These messages break the dimensional barrier, as does the beam."
Matthew's face lit up with surprise and shock. That meant that the
weapon could cross dimensions, which was something never heard of. "How!
How can a energy beam cross dimensions even when the dimensions don't
collide?"
"It rips right through the dimensional bonds which keep the
dimensions apart. But that's enough explanation, now you die!"
A flash of light blinded Matthew, and once it had past, the image of
God running at him with a sword was there.
Matthew quickly drew his sword from it's sheath at his side. With it
he deflected God's blow, and another, and another. He was dodging and
deflecting blows with great speed, trying to get an opening where he
could get a swipe off. But no hole came. God's defense was as solid as
his offense, which meant Matthew wouldn't be able to break through it.
So he quickly jumped back a few meters and pulled out a handgun, and
fired of three shots at God. God dodged them with ease, and threw eight
large, spherical, balls of fire at Matthew.
Matthew spun out of the way, dodging all eight of them, and
returning the favor by throwing six large beams of black light towards
god.
They flew at God in a cylinder shaped formation, but never hit him.
They bounced off an invisible force field. "Not bad, but you'll need to
do better then that."
Matthew smiled. "Fine, I will." And he snapped his fingers.
As soon as he had snapped his finger, four people appeared behind.
One of these people was a young woman, with pink eyes and long white
hair. The second was an old man with light yellow eyes and thin grey
hair. The third person was a little girl, with thick, short, cherry-red
hair and had happy green eyes. And the fourth person was a young boy,
with innocent blue eyes and short blond hair.
God looked surprised for a moment, but soon covered it over with a
serious look. "Fear, Despair, Corruption and Spite, long time no see.
You betrayed me, yes? You bunch of dirty bastards! Well you will pay!"
And with that dozens of small beams of white light came from the
sky. Zig-zagging across the fields of ice they incinerated the snow, and
would incinerate anything else it touched. Including human flesh.
The four Angels, and Matthew, dodged all of these beams of light
with great trouble, and retaliated with dozens of fireballs heading
towards God. They hit him and exploded into a sphere of fire which would
destroy anything normal within it's path. But God wasn't even hurt by
it. He just stood within the sphere of fire, wearing a blank expression.
"Well, sorry people, but you will have to excuse me. I've gotta go,
hope to see you at the final battle! Until then!" And he vanished in
swirling fire and smoke. Leaving the five people, standing in the
snow.........
