Tereus was born to a young princess of the central continent.
She was sickly and died after giving birth to him. Ares knew about ways that could have helped her get through it… but she didn't want him to interfere in such a thing.
Their love was passing and short, yet it left a bittersweet feeling in the God of War.
Left with a child to take care of, he did whatever he could to raise him, with the help of his other children, Tereus grew to be big and strong, although a bit too much of a battle junkie.
Nonetheless, Ares loved his son, which he saw growing through his entire life since he was but a small baby up until the strong man he was now…
He had hoped that nothing much would happen to him, and he was also being protected by the other Gods at his side.
But he didn't know that he should have never trusted his own judgment.
Kireina breaks all kinds of logic and brings forth her family, a group of beings that defy logic as well, all of them, every single one of them.
The moment he knew that Kireina had shown up right where his son was and that Umlena's last message was a cry for help, he immediately rushed here through the Teleportation Crystal he had, which had only five uses, a precious item that shouldn't be used lightly, now very rare in the market.
As he crossed through space with the Teleportation Crystal, he sensed the cry of agony of his son and his last words.
He cried for his father to come to save him.
When Ares appeared screaming the name of his son, it was too late.
There was only… a little and grotesquely strange girl in front of him.
Her upper half had pale white skin, crimson eyes, long crimson hair, and her hands were covered in the hard, metallic exoskeleton of the same color as her eyes and hair.
Her lower half was that of an enormously long centipede, going for over 30 meters long, albeit her upper half was small and adorable, it was there where she held the most power.
Despite her little appearance of a toddler, she was indescribably strong.
Her entire aura was not that of a girl… no…
Ares saw an enormous, groaning beast in her aura, a gargantuan coiling beast, covered completely with crimson red colors…
Whatever this was had an enormous maw that could devour anything… Her aura was very similar to Kireina… but perhaps had a different hint to it.
Kireina was malicious and her powers warped space-time.
But Scarlet… had a certain innocence.
She was simply inherently a gluttonous beast, there was a certain terrifying thing about a being so grotesque being so utterly innocent with its own nature as if it didn't even comprehend the damage it caused for what it did.
It didn't know to know either, she didn't have any interest in caring.
"Te… Tereus…"
After she said that he was as tasty as roasted beef, Ares felt like he was in some kind of nightmare…
He glanced at the little girl differently than initially.
What… was she?
Who… was she?
She just was here.
She just ate his son.
He saw her… swallow him.
And then… he saw how she… assimilated his powers and made them her own a second after.
Utter fear.
Ares felt fear.
His enormous hands began to tremble.
If a being like her was able to eat him so… easily… what said she wouldn't be able to do the same?
But a second after, another thought came to his mind.
Hate.
He hated her.
He hated her more than anything in the world.
She wasn't even Kireina, yet she ate his son like nothing.
His son was clearly running away from her, there wasn't even a fight, Tereus didn't even die honorably while giving his all.
This was simply an utter slaughter.
Kill.
He wanted to kill her.
Now.
Scarlet noticed as Ares's eyes began to glow with crimson red, his entire body rushing with War Energy so strong it condensed and distorted the spatial layers…
The rage of the war god was about to unfold.
"I am going to kill you…" said Ares.
Scarlet glanced at him with a bit of surprise, no one had ever told her that they wanted to kill her, she didn't know what to respond.
"Kill?" she asked innocently.
"War Hammer," said Ares.
Suddenly, an enormous palm the size of a mountain appeared out of thin air, gigantic and intimidating, blocking the sunlight entirely.
The hand was made of red energy, War Energy, the power that War Gods with War Authority could use, which was the embodiment of their very wills to fight.
Scarlet glanced at it with a smile.
"Uwah! More food?" she asked.
"DIE!"
Ares waved his hand as the gigantic palm began to fall over Scarlet with immense speed.
She was going to be crushed by it, have her bones broken into pieces, and then flattened into the ground, where Ares would tear apart her soul slowly.
Or so he thought.
CRUNCH.
A second after, Ares's glorious attack disappeared in an instant.
Ares's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets.
He glanced at Scarlet smiling as she was eating something.
"Hmmm… So good! You are way higher quality than the other guy…" she laughed.
"…What?"
Ares was left shocked.
Just was… was this power?
It was too almighty, too enormous, too overwhelming, too powerful.
In a second it deleted one of his strongest moves which he had used to crush countless enemies in the past.
Ares suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline flow through his entire body, as he clenched his fist and used all of his power to enhance his body.
FLASH!
He rushed towards Scarlet a second after using all the strength, speed, ad power he could muster!
He was going to crush her head before she could eat any more with that little mouth!
Scarlet, of course, was not able to notice his speed.
His enormous hands neared her little head, as he pressed them against her skull.
However, the moment he touched her skin-
CRUNCH.
"Angh…!"
A second after, Ares's arms were gone, as blood began to flow out of the enormous wound.

His arms were eaten in a single second after he touched her skin!
Scarlet opened her mouth as she drank the fresh blood coming like a river out of Ares's amputated arms.
"Hmm~"
Scarlet licked her lips as she smiled innocently ad happily.
Ares felt like his legs were failing him at the moment, he was paralyzed.
In fact, he felt so much fear that it was as if he was growing old.
His muscles began to turn tender, and his face grew awfully paler, his eyes sank into his eye sockets, and his tongue dried out.
His mind was twisting itself, there was no level of logic in this power.
Whatever this girl was… she was even more terrifying than her own mother.
"What… kind of… beast… has Kireina given birth to…" thought Ares, as he only had a single thought inside his mind.
Escape.
But he couldn't escape, his entire body was as stiff as a log.
And Scarlet was drinking his fountain of blood rather happily, the blood of a war good was pretty tasty.
But Ares's alarms inside of his mind were telling him only one thing.
Escape, escape, escape.
But… what about avenging his son?
No, it was useless.
It was impossible.
No way.
It was foolish to even think he could accomplish such a feat.
Ares quickly tried to escape, grabbing the teleportation crystal with a hand made with his soul.
However…
"Hm? What's that?"
Crunch.
The crystal was eaten a second after.
"Nom… Meh, what is this? It tastes bitter… Gueh…"
Ares felt like he was really going to just die now.
After all his entire life, his long life of battles, of war, of fighting at the side of his father… he was going to end miserably now.
Right after his son.
Ad by the same one that took his life.
"GRAAAAAAH!"
Ares let himself be consumed by his blind wrath, startling Scarlet as his power exploded everywhere like an explosion of red energy!
BOOOM!
Scarlet easily ate that of course, and the explosion dissipated a second after, but Ares was running away.
Scarlet was strong but she needed conditions to use her powers.
This was that her enemy needed to be close to her.
In these few seconds Ares already managed to escape over a kilometer.
Without his teleportation crystal, he could not instantly get away, so he had to fly!
The other Gods which he came with, had appeared somewhere else, Scarlet was way too far away from them, and so, they were not able to detect them in time to interfere.
However, Scarlet simply concentrated.
"Hm… Should I let him go away? Mama didn't say anything about eating him… Buuut… Hehe, I will make it quick! Teleportation!"
Flash.
Scarlet used Teleportation, teleporting an instant later near Ares.
Perhaps when she was trapped inside Tereus Divine Realm, it became harder to teleport outside… but now, it was as easy as breathing… or eating.
Ares was startled once more, the girl knew spatial magic! And it was the most terrifying spell that not even Kheseerad knew, Teleportation!
The worst part didn't end there, as she was able to use it without any casting delay, nor incantation other than saying the name of the spell!
Space Attribute surged from her very being. Since Scarlet was born that she showed outstanding Space Attribute Magic capabilities, and now she was practicing as she fought.
Well… "fought".
Flash!
She appeared right in front of Ares, startling him.
The man could use his soul to make new arms, but he was fearful to the bone, and immediately panicked, gritting his teeth as he tried to evade her Devour range, which he calculated was between 20-30 meters.
"Nnngh!"
However, when he evaded and pulled to the left…
CRUNCH.
Another bite hit him, and half of his body was gone, alongside a part of his soul, of course.
"Nnnnggaaggghhh…!"
Ares screamed in agony, but he kept running away, Scarlet didn't want to let go of such a delicious meal.
She quickly swallowed what she had in her mouth and Teleported once more at the side of Ares!
Ares realized that this… was even more ridiculous.
Her powers were already outstandingly abnormal and stupidly insane on every level.
But she could also teleport and completely ignore the range limit as long as she could get the teleportation timing right!
"Hehe, maybe you should try to run away faster!"
Scarlet closed her mouth as Ares evaded her invisible jaws by an inch!
CRUNCH!
He heard how they hit the very wind and the empty space, eating it!
He even saw how a piece of the spatial layers was eaten… her powers were seriously on another level…
Wasn't she more like a great goddess by that power alone?!
No… couldn't she even rival the supreme gods?!
Ares was not on his clear judgment at the moment and sadly was not doing calculations right, Scarlet power could be resisted by those strong enough, at least against a great god-level being such as Kinesis, she almost died if it weren't for her mama, so no, she was not invincible.
But he had already been bitten twice, was weakened, and didn't have amazing regeneration, power, and scheming intelligence like Kinesis had!
And due to lacking a cold mind, Ares was already diving into despair…
"Nngh… No…! I have to… escape! NOOOOO!"
Ares screamed in rage and agony, as he unleashed all of his power, trying to stop Scarlet.
Enormous hands made of war energy, weapons, shields, everything, even a gigantic battalion were summoned, he was going all out.
But…
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH.
She teleported and in… five seconds, she ate it all.
It all disappeared, everything he had been pouring so much time creating… all of his efforts, his divine techniques, his power…
Everything was completely useless.
"Hehe, that was interesting, but mommy is already calling me, so I will have to eat you up quickly!" said Scarlet with a gentle smile, as Ares was suddenly crushed by two invisible jaws.
"Nnngh…! It can't… END LIKE THIIIIISSSSSSSS…! GGGGGGYYAAAAAAAAAHHHH…!"
CRUNCH.
