When the other gods saw the mountain of corpses piled up by Amaterasu, many of them were appalled, horrified, and couldn't even utter a single word from the sheer horror of the sight. It was like gazing upon sothing alien, sothing that shouldn't exist or happen. The heads of sixteen Avatars were all lined up neatly on a shrine, a shrine built upon billions of abominable corpses, many of which were strong enough to easily wipe out tens of lesser gods.
Amaterasu was the queen of the gods. They knew she was powerful, but to achieve this without the overgod's authority, no, even with the overgod's authority, such a feat would still be utterly unbelievable.
The Undisputed Queen of the Heavens had long since been chained and burdened by the weight of the universe resting on her shoulders. The gravity and mass of her stars were the only things keeping the universe's shell together, pulling matter all toward a single point. Without her, the universe would've long since crumbled and been consud by the outer void.
Her life, her light, her heat, and her own energy were the catalysts of life, allowing entropy to move and the entire universe to harbour life. Without the sun's light and warmth, life would have never existed on any world.
For untold eons, Amaterasu had shouldered all of that weight on her own. What she felt couldn't be comprehended by mortals, but by her own words, it could be approximated. She felt like she was standing on a lonely stage, holding a heavy pillar in each hand and preventing them from falling, while having her blood drained.
No rest, no sleep, not a single mont of lost focus, for years, centuries, billions of years, a never-ending torturous nightmare. But even then, she stood at the summit, having existed in a realm far above the other divines. Unlike them, re immune cells of AO's great body, she was a whole organ, the powerhouse of his entire body.
But recently, that burden had been lifted from her shoulder for but a few fleeting monts. When AO erged, took the form of a Nymph, and reactivated the dark matter holding the world together, the pillars that Amaterasu had carried for so long vanished.
Being allowed to take a breath, to relax for a mont, it was all Amaterasu needed to regain so power. She rested for a few days and then went on a rampage. The abominations that died by her hand were many, but not in vain. She collected them all down to the last one, and brought them back to Death herself.
They were going to be recycled into energy for Entropy, so that Amaterasu wouldn't need to keep bleeding out power to sustain life in the universe. They have killed and eaten AO's body to grow this nurous, so it was only fair for their bodies to be ground back into energy and return to AO's body as a new life.
From now on, Amaterasu won't let the abomination desecrate AO's corpse any longer. She would ruthlessly, rcilessly, vindictively, and one-sidedly massacre any one of them that dares intrude on the sacred domain of the universe. This was her ho, and to her, this was just a matter of fact.
What if a bunch of strangers broke into your ho, destroyed it whole, leaving only one room? They even went as far as to eat the corpse of your father. That was the situation Amaterasu found herself in, and thus, she felt nothing while killing the abominations but regret. She regretted not killing them earlier.
But even while drowning in her rage and power, aiming to take back what was lost, Amaterasu never lost sight of what mattered most. Like all beings, living for such a long ti and holding so much power, madness was bound to creep into her mind. It was impossible to have such power without having a few loose screws. She had massacred the abominations for a whole day, and while she could've kept going for years, she decided to stop.
The reason was simple; she didn't want to let herself lose her mind and drown in her own power and vengeance. She knew better than most that resisting madness is futile, no matter what; it would catch up to her. So, instead of fighting it, Amaterasu grabbed her own madness by the hips and swung back to the ground.
She had turned her madness into pride, into arrogance, into her lust for won, and into all of her nasty habits as a way to keep herself in check. So when the next day ca, and when she left the room with all of her archons, she spent the entire night playing with them, she didn't go back to the frontlines.
Amaterasu instead headed back into the universe and soon found herself standing in an empty world, looking at the sadness beneath her bare feet. A gentle smile crossed her face, and she reached up, extended both her arms to the sky, and then slowly flexed them down as she exhaled.
"That was a fun night." She looked forward and then took a deep breath.
Tap!
Another bare foot landed a few ters away from her. "I heard you went on a rampage in the front lines and even had an eventful night yesterday. You seem to be finally moving." The woman standing in front of Amaterasu was Eris.
Eris stood there, stared at the goddess for a second, and then mimicked her stance. "You called here for what?"
"I thought I'd teach you how to use your weight in fights." Amaterasu grabbed her yukata and took it off. Underneath, she only had bandages wrapped around her chest and a thick loincloth covering her lower parts. "Sarashi." She pointed at her chest, "And this is mawashi. They are good for this style of fighting."
Eris stared at her with a tilted head. "I couldn't care less about what you wear. You said you'll show how to use my weight in fights?"
Amaterasu threw her Yukata away and looked at Eris with a smile. "Do you know? You're the fattest of Arad's wives." She giggled, "Don't worry, I am the fattest woman in existence. So, I still got you beaten."
Eris was a sun, a massive, round, and plum sun. In size, she was the biggest, and in weight, she was the heaviest among Arad's wives. Amaterasu, on the other hand, was the biggest and heaviest in the entire universe, with no one coming even close. Even though she was a Nymph, had a perfect body that looked far more beautiful than anyone else, she still was the most massive of them all.
Eris looked at her with a smile. "I see, but why train ? Because I'm a sun like you?"
Amaterasu spread both of her legs apart and rested her forearms on the ground. "That's a reason, but… I wanted to train Arad, not you. Of course, I can't just do that. So, I'll train you, and you'll train him."
"A low stance, all of your weight pushed forward. Are you going to charge directly?" Eris clapped her hands, and lowered her stance as well.
At that mont, Amaterasu burst forward with a single step, charging like a spear to tackle Eris. That was such a direct and obvious move that Eris almost didn't know how to reach, but she moved face, clenching a fist and launching a punch right at Amaterasu's face.
Amaterasu slipped beneath Eris's punch and swung her palm. That hand of hers felt as massive as a shovel, and it smacked Eris right in the face, rocking her skull and brain with enough force to crack a planet. And as Eris was stick shocked from the impact, Amaterasu grabbed her by the waist, and the entire world seed to spin around them.
"Ora!" Using all of her weight, Amaterasu grabbed Eris by the hips, lifted her up, and threw her to the ground. All that Eris could see was the world spinning around her, then the ground flying toward her face. Before she could do anything, her head was in the ground, planted like an ostrich's head.
Amaterasu stepped away from Eris with a smile, tapped her bare belly with a smile, and then looked back. "I made my weight exactly as yours, so this clash was fair. We call this sumo, and you'd better learn it."
She sat down, crossed her legs, and smiled. "Arad is currently training with Kali to defeat you, so I'll train you to defeat him." She pointed at her. "Weight is your only advantage on him."
Eris pulled her head from the ground, and she was cross-eyed. Getting smacked in the face and then having her head planted in the ground with the weight of a star did leave so brain damage, but it didn't seem like sothing she wouldn't heal from.
As she sat down like Amaterasu, her brain healed and she smiled as her eyes returned to normal. "That was a purely physical attack, and it was enough to twist the mind of a god."
Amaterasu smiled. "Well, don't worry about this planet. It isn't a planet, but the core of a long-dead titanic star. It won't crumble with us rampaging on its surface. At least as long as I don't increase my weight a lot."
Eris started thinking. "It explains it. Usually, the planet would shatter before I get damaged this much. At least when I'm not nerfed by the universe's laws." She then rested both hands on her knees. "Answer , can I use magic with this fighting style?"
Amaterasu giggled. "Gravity magic works best, but you can add your touches later." She slowly stood, "For now, I'll have you learn the basics."
