YM778.TV Chapter 90: Horseman Of War
She staggered for a moment, her breath catching in her throat. The red aura pulsed and flared, lifting her off the ground as it infused her with raw, unbridled power. Her hair whipped around her face, now streaked with vibrant hues of red and gold, shimmering with a warlike brilliance.
Her once weary and battle-worn form transformed—her muscles becoming denser, her skin glowing with an ethereal sheen. A warrior reborn.
Her hands clenched into fists as the transformation reached its peak, her body radiating an overwhelming, almost terrifying, aura of violence and destruction. Hera\'s eyes blazed with a newfound intensity, glowing a brilliant crimson. She could feel it now—the power of the Horseman of War.
Every fiber of her being hummed with the might of conflict, the essence of battle itself coursing through her veins.
Adams watched, his gaze calm and calculating as Hera completed her transformation. A small, almost imperceptible smile played on his lips, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. He could see the change—not just in her physical appearance but in the very nature of her soul.
As the aura dissipated, Hera floated gently back to the ground. Her breathing was steady, her posture tall and commanding. She looked down at her hands, flexing her fingers as if testing her newfound strength. The power that surged through her was like nothing she had ever felt before—it was beyond anything she could have imagined.
Adams gazed at her with a knowing expression, his eyes glowing slightly as her stats appeared before him, visible only to him.

Hera felt the weight of her new power, her chest rising and falling with slow, deliberate breaths. The sheer magnitude of what she had become was intoxicating—and terrifying. She was no longer the same being who had once stood before Adams, trembling in fear. Now, she was a force of nature, a Horseman of War.
Her gaze flickered to Adams, who sat on his throne, his expression unreadable but with an undeniable glint of satisfaction in his eyes. She knew she had made the right choice, though a part of her still grieved for what she had lost—her loyalty to El, her past self.
John, standing to the side, smirked, his eyes gleaming with approval. "Looks like you\'ve been upgraded," he said with a low chuckle. "I\'m looking forward to seeing what you\'ll do with all that power."
Hera straightened, her eyes hard but filled with a renewed sense of purpose. "I won\'t waste it," she said quietly, her voice firm. "I\'ll serve as your Horseman, Adams, and I\'ll make sure anyone who stands against you knows the meaning of true war."
Adams\'s smile deepened, his eyes shimmering with dark satisfaction. "Good," he said softly, his voice filled with quiet, dangerous approval. "Then go, my Horseman of War. Show the world what it means to be under my banner."
As Hera stood there, basking in the power that coursed through her veins, a strange tremor reverberated through the hall. The very air around her began to hum, thick with energy, as if the room itself was reacting to her transformation. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet cracked, glowing with a deep crimson light that pulsed like a heartbeat.
From the fissures in the stone, dark mist began to swirl, thick and ominous. Hera watched, her eyes narrowing in curiosity, as the mist coalesced into a massive, towering shape beside her. The sound of hooves echoed through the hall, growing louder and more intense, like the drums of an oncoming storm.
Then, with a powerful neigh, a warhorse of unparalleled grandeur emerged from the mist. The beast was massive, easily twice the size of any normal horse, its black coat gleaming like polished obsidian. Its mane was a cascade of fire and blood, flickering and dancing with the same red energy that now filled Hera.
Its eyes were molten orbs of flame, glowing with the same fierce intensity that burned within Hera\'s gaze.
The horse\'s muscles rippled with barely contained power, its breath coming out in thick clouds of steam that heated the air around them. Metallic armor—dark, intricate, and covered in ancient runes of war—clad the beast, adding to its terrifying presence. Along its neck and flanks, jagged spikes jutted out, each one glistening with a blood-red glow.
Its hooves left smoldering imprints on the ground as it stepped forward, its head bowing toward Hera in acknowledgment of its new master.
Hera, her expression now a mixture of awe and cold determination, reached out to the creature. Her hand rested against its fiery mane, feeling the raw power that pulsed beneath its skin. The horse snorted, its fiery breath washing over her face, but there was no fear in Hera\'s eyes—only understanding.
This creature was a manifestation of her new nature, born from the essence of war that now lived within her.
Adams, still seated on his throne, watched the spectacle unfold with mild amusement. His eyes glinted with approval as the horse and rider bonded. "Fitting," he said softly, his voice carrying through the chamber. "Your mount—*Phobos*—embodies the terror and chaos of war. It will ride with you through every battlefield, leaving nothing but destruction in your wake."
The name resonated in Hera\'s mind, and she nodded, accepting the creature as a part of her. Phobos pawed at the ground, eager, restless, as if sensing the endless wars and battles to come. Hera swung herself onto the beast\'s back in one swift, fluid motion, her aura flaring as she did. The connection between them was immediate and absolute, like two halves of the same soul.
For a moment, Hera closed her eyes, feeling the surge of power flow between herself and Phobos. The horse\'s fiery mane crackled against her armor, and she gripped the reins tightly, feeling the thrum of energy coursing through her. She was no longer just a warrior—she was War incarnate, a force to be reckoned with across realms.
John, standing beside Adams, watched with a wide grin, his arms crossed. "Now that\'s a sight," he muttered. "Horse and rider, one and the same. The Divine Plane doesn\'t stand a chance."
Hera opened her eyes, their crimson glow brighter than ever. She looked to Adams, her voice steady but filled with the promise of unrelenting violence. "Where do you want me to begin?"
Adams smiled darkly, leaning back in his throne. "Soon enough, my Horseman of War. The time for your battles is coming. But for now, let Phobos feel the weight of your power. When you ride, kingdoms will tremble, and even the gods will know fear."

Hera grinned as she felt the raw power of Phobos beneath her. With a swift pull of the reins, she urged the horse forward. Phobos snorted, its fiery eyes gleaming as it stamped the ground, sending a ripple of red-hot energy across the hall.
"Now time for that inheritance to open."
