I growled in its face the heat of my body and hate, burning even its skin. "Where are they? You are about to die, it can be quick, or I can stretch it out for a very long and very painful time."

The demon started to growl at me before I hit it in the middle of its chest.

"Very slow and painful it is, I said as I started to twist its chest and stumps. Finally, I knew, then I put a hand through its chest, pulling out a blackened piece of flesh.

I looked at Kali, "I am going after them, I will get them," I started.

At that moment, Indra and Chandra appeared shocked at the carnage that was around me. "They took them, didn't they?" Indra said, to which I nodded. "We are going with you, they are our consorts." I nodded, then felt others appear.

Then, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva of The Trimurti. A moment later, Kertikeya appeared with more weapons than I thought any being could carry. He had a look of anguish and glee about going into battle.

I noticed a few moments after that, that Yama the god of death was behind him. This made me smile more. I knew that if Yama was as mad as I could see that he was, the demons hadn't a chance at all.

I thought that Indra was going to take over as he seemed to be a major god here. When he said nothing and walked to me, slightly bowing to me, I knew. "I am going after them, I took thirty-one more of them, so it might help," I smiled.

Suddenly, all of them had weapons that seemed to appear from nowhere. Oh, yeah, I thought this was going to be bloody as hell.

I looked at my hands and shook my head no, why the hell did I need weapons? A moment later, Indra asked," don't you need weapons?"

"Why? I took all these without them, especially the biggest one," I said, looking at the only pieces of the last I had destroyed. "They pissed me off, not much going to stop me."

I saw Kertikeya get a huge smile on his face, "ooooo this is going to be fun!"

I just shook my head at him as I reached out, then vanished. I could feel both of them, but they had seemed to have separated. This wasn't sitting well with me as I started to grow angry again, honing in on where I felt the goddess.

I appeared in a gray semi-dark area; I could also hear Indrani shouting at who ever had her. I thought a second and tried to make it so they couldn't leave.

"I suggest that you let me go, I am the consort of the king of the gods," she shouted.

"Shut the hell up, if he was so strong then he'd be here already!" The leader of them said, then looked around noticing that a few of his supporters were gone.

I looked at the pile of bodies beside me. I could still feel my anger growing. I was prepared to take the rest of them apart when the leader started to laugh.

"So it appears that that weakling god is here. Nothing like that half-god, that is a true warrior," he said, then stopped as another five vanished.

"Alright coward, come out. What are you afraid of?" He shouted.

He was about to start another tirade when I stepped out in front of him. I smiled a truly wicked smile.

"Fast or slow, all of you are no more, though you," I said as I poked the leader in the chest, knocking him to the ground. "You I am saving for last," I then destroyed another twenty of his helpers.

Each was almost petrified as they found that they couldn't leave. I was heading for the last five when Yama appeared, slicing through them like they were butter.

I then caught the largest one that I had knocked off his feet. "So, where is she?" I asked, he refused to talk, so I removed both arms. I really didn't care that he was screaming. "I suggest you answer because there is a lot of you that I can take off," I said as I removed a leg.

I had him in about twenty pieces when he finally spoke up. I nodded, "see? That wasn't so hard, was it? Goodbye," I said as I ripped his chest out, then grabbed the black piece of skin that was its heart.

"Ummm that was delicious," Yama said next to the rest of those that had arrived watching me designate the leader.

I turned my glowing red eyes toward Yama, "shut up Yama! "Til we get her, noting is finished or delicious as you said."

Yama was suddenly silent as the rest were, merely nodding his head. I was reaching out looking for Rohini. I was starting to grow angry again as it felt that they were somehow shielding her.

I was about to go searching for her when Kali touched me. "Robert," I heard her voice through a fog. "Robert," she said again as I slightly stumbled into her arms. "You have expended more energy than you have. I know that you are far stronger than you were, but your energy has declined faster with the extreme killing."

I looked at her for a moment, trying to figure out who in the hell she was. "Kali?" I asked, to which she nodded with a smile.

"Let's go to the tent, your tent," she said.

"Tent?" I asked, then tried to nod my head as we vanished.

We arrived in front of a damn good-looking bed, which I promptly fell into. "NO! We have to go after Rohini, they have her no let me go, uh, Kali?"

Again she smiled, then removed all her clothes and crawled into bed with me. Ah, hell, I thought, got her naked again and about to be, then the darkness took me.

I swear I was out for a week, though I found out later it was only a few hours. Besides, waking up next to a horny goddess is an experience every man should have.

All I can say is I am glad I am part god, or I wouldn't have made it past the first hour. I mean I have heard of a woman being extra horny. Shit Kali put them all to shame.

I know it was light when we started though, I was pretty sure it was starting to grow dark when we stopped.

Kali had explained at one time that the act we had done, (alot) actually energized us more than most anything. Damn, I thought, that was a hell of a way to get energy, more enjoyable too.

I looked at Kali, wondering why in the hell she had chosen me. I mean, I was an ordinary guy not exciting or anything. Always seeming to be in trouble, mostly because of my temper, so why me?

I wasn't even all that good in bed, so why me? From what I had seen, she thought that I was like some sex god. I had to chuckle at that me? A sex god, yeah right.

Then again, I thought as I looked at the completely satisfied look on Kali's face. Yeah, she might disagree with that.

A noise outside the tent drew my eyes to the opening. A moment later, Indrani walked in a little red-faced.

"Forgive me Robert," she said, getting even more red-faced. "I am here for the rest, to know when you are going after Rohini. She was a dear friend of Kali and me. Plus, I think that Chandra is angrier than he is letting on."

"It shouldn't be long as I think that I know where she is. I also believe that they think that they can bargain with her," I shook my head. "That isn't about to happen."

"Thank you, Robert, if I can help do not hesitate to ask," she said as she turned to go, then stopped. "Just to let you know, Indra, the Trimurti, Rama, Ganesha and Chandra are ready to accompany you." Here she gained a smile as she continued, "Kertikeya is anxious to go, though none more than Yama, he is the most anxious."

I nodded as I thought about it, yeah I could see the god of death and war, anxious for action. I mean really, they did go hand in hand.

"Alright, as soon as I get ready, I'll be there," I told her as I tried not to dislodge the cover over Kali and me.

Less than a half hour later, Kali and I were standing before the nine male gods. All of them had a ferocious look of fury on their faces. They were all armed to the teeth with almost every type of sword I had ever seen.

I remember seeing scenes from movies with thousands of sword-armed men. Shit these males could probably take all of them even if they were serious.

With a nod, I passed a hand over all of us there, then stopped when Kali appeared next to me. "No, I said.

She was very heavily armed as she looked at me with severe anger. "Don't even fuck with me Robert, I am going. She's my friend, and I'm not about to let those repugnant Danavas lay a hand on her. If you don't believe I can help, then fight me."

I looked at the way she was gripping the swords and her stance, I nodded my head, yeah, she was damn serious. Then I remembered that she was the goddess of creation, power, destruction and death. Plus, the fact that she was mad as hell as I was, let them get in our way.

I nodded to her, then passed a hand over all of us again, then we vanished.

As before, we appeared in a gray area that had a huge central clearing. I could also see that there were at least a hundred or more of the demon constructed helpers.

I was a little confused as I didn't see Rohini, shit she should have been right there in the middle.

I looked at the other males, "don't kill all of them. I need answers out of them, I don't see Rohini. Leave me about ten alive."

They all nodded to me as they licked their lips, their anger ramping up another notch. To say it was a bloodbath or slaughter would be an understatement. I took the lead, taking ten before the others reached them.

I saw that I had been wrong as we actually faced a hundred twenty. True to their word, they left me ten.

After I started to question them, we were down to five. It basically went like I asked if they knew where they went, if I could tell they didn't know? I just beheaded them, no muss, no fuss.

The last five were even more cooperative when I started to remove all their arms. The last one alive was a blubbering mess, "so how many places are we going to have to go to?" I had it in quite a few pieces, not even caring that it was almost dead.

"They have a great many places you will never, OOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" It shouted as I sliced its chest four times. My hands broke his skin as if it wasn't there.

"So, let's try this again," I said as I sliced it four more times, drawing a significant amount of black blood. This time the screams went on for a few minutes.

Ah, the sound of the dying enemy spilling his guts. Then I literally did spill its guts.

I sighed as I looked at Yama and Kertikeya covered in black blood. I then shook my head as they were slapping hands at the number they had killed.

"I do believe that the both of you enjoyed that far too much, "I said.

"Of course, battle is always enjoyable, especially against such stupid constructs," Kertikeya said.

Again I shook my head as I passed a hand over us, then we vanished.

A few minutes later, a particularly large demon-like entity appeared. Its mouth dropped open at the total carnage that was there. A moment later, several more demons almost as large as him appeared.

Even though almost all there were constructs, some of the demons could only shake their heads.

The nearest biggest one asked the largest, "you think it was the false cod, demi-god? It has displayed a tendency toward such violence."

The biggest one stared at the scene a moment, then shook its head. "It was here, took quite a few though no, there were gods here. Some of the most powerful, as far as I can tell. I told Daitya Bali that this was a bad idea. Now I can feel the anger of the Devetas, more than ever before,"

"Why?" The one from before asked? "She isn't even well known, why would they be as mad as you say they are?"

"I believe that the greatest anger came from the false Demi-god. She must have whored herself out to it. This level of heat I am feeling can only mean that she has been with it," the largest demon said.

"This should provide us with a weapon against him, no"? The second-largest demon said.

"No," the largest demon said. "This false god, Demi-god, was human first. You should remember that their emotions are far more dangerous than their weapons."

All the demons were shocked when they heard the leader demon, say this. "We should report this to the leader," another large demon said.

The largest demon nodded for a moment, then they all vanished.

They all appeared in another gray area, all of them walking to the leader.

"Daitya Bali," stated the largest demon of those that returned. "We have gone to both places that you advised us to. The goddess was gone, we lost another two of our number and all the constructs. In the second place, we lost all hundred nineteen and another of our kind."

Daitya Bali turned toward all that had appeared, a look of anger on its face. "Was it the false god, Demi-god?" it asked.

"I could feel him there, along with some of the strongest gods that there are. They were far more angry than we thought they would be. She is a nothing goddess, though the false god was more than twice as angry," here the demon turned toward Rohini.

The leader of all the demons also turned to Rohini, "so you have whored yourself out to the false god. If this is true? Then all of us can take a turn with your whorey ass!"

A smile came to Rohini's lips, when the demon leader reached for her crotch and was zapped across the room.

"As you can see," Rohini smiled biggest, "I am no whore, unlike the female demons." This caused several of the female demons to growl at Rohini. "What? Does the truth hurt? If you are with this lot, then there is no doubt that you are whores."

Again they growled, then three raised their clawed hands to strike Rohini. The hands were lying on the ground at their feet, the leader growling at them.

"Regrow them and leave her alone, before I do far worse. I could make all three of you true whores if you want," the leader said as the three demon females started to strain, then to strip.

"No leader, we do not want that," they said, straining even harder, then dropped to the floor like sacks of potatoes.

"Remember who is the strongest and the leader here, next time I won't stop," the leader said with a scowl.

All three female demons bowed their heads, "Yes leader," they all said."

Daitya Bali then turned toward the rest of the demons there. "We need to make the strongest constructs that we have. I want thousands of them there. I don't think that they'd escape that."

The leader smiled at his idea, yes this should take care of this little problem.

I appeared in another gray area, though I went in immediately, taking at least twenty in a minute. The two hundred went quickly, though I saved a few to question.

After chopping up the first two, the rest started to sing. Unfortunately, their info was worthless so they were soon many pieces.

Damn, I thought this was taking too long, plus I was starting to think that they were laying a trap.

The next two places went about the same with hardly any battle at all. I was beginning to think that Yama and Kertikeya were going to grow bored at how easy this was.

So far, we had killed four demons and at least seven hundred constructs. Still, I felt that they had something big planned before we faced the main demons.

I advised all of them that I had a feeling that they were planning to ambush us somehow. As we appeared in the fifth place, I knew that I had been correct.

The area was completely covered with what had to be over a thousand enemies. I nodded as I had them start to clear away all that were on the edges. I'd say we got at least a hundred before an alarm was raised.

Then the real battle started, Kali and I were back to back starting to collect a huge pile of bodies. I tried to keep an eye on the others, though Yama and Kertikeya were doing better than me and Kali.

The Trimurti had their backs to each other, cutting a wide swartz through all those before them. The only one I was worried about was Chandra, even if he was fighting with Ganesha. His ability to remove obstacles was a great help.

Thankfully, the crowd started to thin out rather quickly. Though it was the bloodiest we had to date. Of course, Yama and Kertikeya were again covered in blood and gore, that and they seemed a hell of a lot happier than I had seen them yet.

I figured all of them wanted to clean up, though none of them wanted to. I just shrugged as we went on to the sixth area. This time we met hardly any resistance. I imagined that they thought the last battle would defeat us.

Daitya Bali was waiting with bated breath when those he'd sent out returned. He also became enraged when he saw that by the looks on their faces it was bad.

"What of the defeat of the false god and the gods?" He asked.

The largest of those that returned could only shake its head. "It was a bloodbath, there were so many body parts that it was hard to tell how many were there."

This, of course, caused Daitya Bali's face to go blood-red. His anger rose to the highest it had in a very long time.

"This has to stop, before they get us here," the leader said.

"You should have thought of that before, you tried to do something as stupid as taking a goddess captive. Here I thought that you Danavas, were a lot smarter than this. I see that I was incorrect more than I thought," Rohini said with disdain.

The next place we appeared, I held up a hand. I was feeling something, though I was unsure of just what. I wasn't about to go down there nor was I going to send any of the males and especially not Kali.

I thought about it for a few moments, then made a copy of myself and sent it. It made it to the extreme edge of the clearing, then seemed to get zapped, falling down. It was immediately set upon by the hundreds there.

I nodded my head as I put my hands up detecting what was there. Walking to the edge, I sliced all that were there easily. This, of course, shocked the others, who quickly got over their shock and attacked.

The gods and Kali quickly joined me and made short work of the constructs. That's when I noticed that they weren't sending any more of the demons to watch over the constructs.

True, we had killed at least forty of the demons, though that still left too many of them. We had to somehow turn this to an advantage for us. I sat to think, the rest, looking at me, somehow, I thought there had to be a way.
