The air around the abyssal mountain trembled as Kent prepared to descend, his mind still replaying the events of the antidote’s creation. He turned to take one last look at the purified Dark Sea, now shimmering gold under the morning light.
Just as Kent stepped forward, a deafening hisssss pierced the silence, reverberating through the air like a thunderclap.
“How dare you mock me, human?” The voice boomed, each syllable dripping with venom and fury. “It’s not over by merely stopping my poison!”
Kent spun around, his heart skipping a beat. Emerging from the depths of the abyssal mountain was a serpent of unimaginable proportions—its sheer size dwarfed even the mountain Kent stood on.
The 1000-Hooded Mother Serpent rose majestically, her 1000 hoods spreading out like a vast canopy, each hood bearing the mark of an ancient curse. Her 2000 glowing eyes, split evenly across her hoods, burned with rage as they locked onto Kent. Her fangs, as long as towers, gleamed ominously, dripping with molten poison that sizzled as it hit the purified waters below.
The serpent’s hissing breath was laced with fire, and the air grew hot and suffocating as she spoke. “You dare to disturb my slumber and stop my poison? You mortals have committed a grave sin, and now, you must pay the price!”
Kent, trying to mask the tremor in his voice, stepped forward. “Great Mother Serpent, I mean no disrespect. Your peace was distrubed by the Demons to harm the world. I only sought to restore balance.”
“Restore balance?” The serpent’s laughter echoed like a storm, sending waves rippling across the sea. “You speak of balance while your kind tramples on my domain, stealing what is mine! Where were your gods when the Demons churned my mountain? Where were they when my children were slaughtered to fuel their greed?” Her voice grew louder with each word, her hoods flaring wide.

The Storm God appeared in a flash of lightning, landing beside Kent. His gaze was stern as he addressed the serpent. “Mother Serpent, the Demons acted against all natural laws. They sought to use your power for destruction, not us. This human—Kent—saved the world from their madness. We owe him a debt of gratitude.”
The serpent’s 1000 hoods flared again, her eyes narrowing as she sneered at the Storm God. “You speak of laws, yet you, gods, stood idly by while the Demons desecrated my home. I see no difference between you and them! You allowed this to happen, and now you expect me to forgive and forget?”
The Poison God emerged next, his aura cold and calculating. “Mother Serpent, we understand your anger, but Kent did what was necessary to stop your poison from consuming the world. The blame lies with the Demons, not him. Let us resolve this peacefully.”
“Peacefully?” The serpent hissed, her voice dripping with disdain. “I care not for your excuses. The world must pay for its sins, starting with this human who dared to meddle with my power!”
Before anyone could respond, the serpent’s massive tail whipped forward, striking the abyssal mountain with the force of an earthquake. Kent leaped back just in time, his heart pounding as the serpent’s molten poison began to seep toward him.
“Enough talk!” the serpent roared. “Let the world witness my wrath!”

The War God arrived in a burst of golden light, wielding his massive battle axe. “Mother Serpent, you leave us no choice. If you continue on this path, we will stop you, no matter the cost.”
With a deafening roar, the Mother Serpent lunged forward, her hoods spreading wide as she released a torrent of molten poison. The War God raised his axe, its blade glowing as he cleaved through the deadly liquid, splitting it in two before it could reach Kent. The poison sizzled as it fell harmlessly into the sea, but the serpent was far from finished.
The Storm God summoned a massive thunderstorm, bolts of lightning crackling as they struck the serpent’s hoods. Each strike sent ripples of energy across her enormous body, but she barely flinched, her rage fueling her resilience.
“You think your petty lightning can harm me?” the serpent sneered, her voice echoing with contempt. With a single flick of her tail, she sent a wave of poison toward the gods, forcing them to scatter.
The Poison God stepped forward, his hands glowing with a sickly green light as he summoned his own poison to counteract the serpent’s. The two toxic forces clashed midair, creating a swirling vortex of deadly energy.
Meanwhile, Kent stood on the mountain, his mind racing as he observed the battle. The gods were holding their own, but barely. The Mother Serpent’s strength was overwhelming, and her focus remained squarely on him.
“I need to act,” Kent muttered, his fists clenched. “If this continues, the poison will spread again.”
The serpent’s voice broke through his thoughts. “You can’t hide, mortal! Your very existence is an affront to me!” She lunged toward Kent, her massive fangs bared.
Kent leaped into action, his Divine Chakra spinning into existence around him. The golden energy formed a protective barrier, deflecting the serpent’s fangs at the last moment. He retaliated with a blast of Origin Nirvanic Flames, striking one of her hoods. The serpent roared in pain but quickly recovered, her 999 other hoods flaring with fury.

The battle raged on, each side unleashing their most powerful attacks. The War God’s axe cleaved through the serpent’s tail, but it regenerated almost instantly. The Storm God’s lightning strikes grew more ferocious, yet the serpent seemed to absorb the energy, using it to fuel her next attack.
Kent, despite his exhaustion, fought alongside the gods. He used his mastery over poison to neutralize the serpent’s attacks, his Nirvanic Flames burning through her molten poison. But each move took a toll on him, and his energy was rapidly depleting.
The Mother Serpent, though wounded, showed no signs of stopping. Her eyes burned with unrelenting rage as she unleashed a deafening roar. “You will all pay for your arrogance! This world will drown in my poison!”
The Poison God stepped forward, his expression grim. “We need to end this now, or the world will truly be lost.”
The War God nodded. “Kent, you’ve done enough. Leave this to us.”
“No,” Kent said firmly as he raised high into the air and directly landed on top of hoods.
While the mother serpent shook violently to toss away Kent, he began punching the hoods with all his physical strength.
Mournful cries came as the mother serpent felt immense pain. But it didn’t yield.
The battle continued for hours, the gods and Kent working together to hold the serpent at bay. Despite their combined efforts, neither side could claim victory.
The Mother Serpent, though battered and bleeding, remained defiant. The gods, though powerful, were nearing their limits. Even Kent, whose determination seemed unbreakable, could barely stand on top of the violently moving serpent.
Out of anger, Kent finally decided to unleash his ultimate attack.
“Boom”
