[A divinity has fallen.]
[(Odin)'s divinity]
Igeon was startled by the object dropping before his eyes.
The fallen object was the divinity of the one Jagyeolsajuin had taken away with him.
And what could that mean?
[It seems Jagyeolsajuin succeeded!]
[He used Karma Reversal on the Great Stellar God!]
But Igeon did not smile. Because he had clearly felt it.
‘The aura of life has vanished.’
The Lord of the Full Moon, a stellar god of the same twelve zodiac signs and Jagyeolsajuin’s younger sibling, seemed to have sensed the same.
Igeon immediately moved to _____. The other stellar cities and gods swiftly followed him.
“Uncle!”
[Master!]
And when Igeon arrived at the place where Jagyeolsajuin and Tongcheonju had disappeared, he was able to find the spot without difficulty.
Because a massive pit had been dug where the two had vanished.
That was not all.
“Uncle…! That….”
Cheon Yuha pointed at something lying on the ground.
Igeon approached and picked up the object Cheon Yuha had indicated.
The clothes and the entire wig that Igeon had made were scattered about.
As if only the clothes remained and the body had been annihilated.
No one could fail to understand what that meant.
[Could Jagyeolsajuin have also been annihilated?]
[It seems so. It appears he was swept away in the process of dealing with Tongcheonju…]
And then it happened.
[What? What happened?]
[Where is this?]
The countless gods who had been in Gehenna were rising with bewildered expressions.
They were all beings who had been used as karma receptacles by the Great Stellar Gods and then discarded.
From high-ranking gods to low-ranking gods, there were various ones.
And perhaps because Jagyeolsajuin had returned the karma to where it originally belonged, they had regained their original forms.
The moment they saw Igeon, they were startled.
[A, a new Great Stellar God?]
[I, it seems so!]
[He appears human, but is his aura not that of an extraordinary god!]
They were beings who had lost their reason and wandered as evil gods for hundreds of years.
It was only natural they did not recognize Igeon, but they must have noticed from his aura alone that he was already at the level of a Great Stellar God.
Of course, there seemed to be some who could not accept it.
[Does that make sense? There is no way a little brat like that could be a Great Stellar God…]
[Indeed. It seems his inner power is shallower than mine…]
It was right then.
[How impudent! This person is one of the nine Great Stellar Gods… ah, I suppose it is no longer nine. Anyway, he is one of the Great Stellar Gods!]
[Excuse me?! That cannot be…!]
[I will prove it.]
When […] spoke, all the gods were horrified. If he said he would prove it, that meant Igeon truly was a Great Stellar God.
And seeing […] speak like that…
[[…] has saved us!]
[To have regained our original bodies, we are truly grateful!]
[We swear loyalty to our benefactor.]
At those words, Igeon, with a bitter expression, picked up a divinity from the hem of Jagyeolsa’s garment.
[The divinity of the Creator clan, Creathor]
It was the divinity of […].
And the Virgin’s stellar god, who saw it, smiled bitterly.
[Doing something so unlike him.]
She seemed to have roughly realized what Jagyeolsajuin had done at the end.
Igeon, Aseuran, and the others were the same.
Igeon, picking up the man who had left only his divinity behind, narrowed his brow.
“You brat, dying however you please?”
“Igeon-nim….”
It seemed he was as upset as his uncle.
[Still, it’s good…]
“I haven’t even gotten revenge for the one who killed my brat yet.”
“…I, Igeon-nim?”
“Ha. And you left without paying for the wig and clothes I made for you. Are you dining and dashing now? Are you joking?”
“I, Igeon-nim??”
Igeon, as if futilely emphasizing that he was not the god of resurrection, clutched Garan’s divinity and let out a hollow laugh.
“I will definitely resurrect this bastard. Let’s see if I let you die comfortably.”
In the end, at that sight, everyone clicked their tongues as if to say, “That’s just like him.” Just as Igeon was carefully stowing away the divinity—
“Uncle?!”
Igeon staggered for a moment. The Cheon siblings approached in surprise, but Igeon said he was fine.
“It’s just severe power exhaustion. I’m fine.”
Moreover, because the karma had passed onto him, his body had been quite wrecked.
‘Even Super Regeneration can’t handle this.’
It was because his divinity and soul had also been damaged.
In fact, if Jagyeolsajuin had not been there, it would have been rather dangerous earlier.
If he had clashed in that state, he would certainly have died after the fight.
‘Even with 450% faith, is recovery this difficult?’
The regeneration was extremely slow.
Should I say it felt like his body was crumbling? It felt like his soul and divinity were fading away.
‘Unless there is someone with an extraordinary amount of faith…’
So Igeon could not help but narrow his brow.
He had dealt with the Great Stellar Gods and even laid his hands on the Primordial God’s power that they had possessed, but well.
‘Will this body of mine hold out until I deal with that lord bastard?’
The problem was […], who had come looking for that idiot Hugo. That damn bastard was the problem.
‘If he decides to attack all at once, Earth won’t be able to withstand it.’
He was hiding his power, but it was not for nothing that he was called the Primordial Bird.
But right now, that was not what was important.
‘First, I need to bring […] and separate the divine realm from Earth.’
And as Igeon was about to move, Aseuran stroked Igeon’s head.
“Your body must be in poor condition, so don’t overexert yourself.”
“!”
“[…] has already sent a lion with a good nose, so you rest.”
Aseuran was about to say that he would bring […] himself when—
“……!!”
At something suddenly assaulting them, Aseuran hastily turned his head.
But in that instant.
Kwaaang!!!!
“…Keuk!!”
“!!”
Aseuran’s arm was mercilessly severed. Fountains of blood shot into the sky.
[Former master!!]
[Aseuran!]
Aseuran coughed up blood and collapsed on the spot.
And the one who appeared after slicing off Aseuran’s arm in one blow was none other than a man.
[Let’s start by cutting off an arm first.]
“……!!”
Not a single trace of presence could be felt.
And at the sudden ambush by the handsome man, all the gods were shocked.
Igeon also activated […] while on guard.
The opponent was none other than the last Great Stellar God who had not revealed himself until now.
“…!!”
It was the Great Stellar God of the Ennead.
With long hair scattering embers and his arms crossed, he was an exceedingly arrogant young man.
The blood-soaked Aseuran frowned and glared at the opponent.
“…I was wondering when you would come out.”
It seemed Aseuran had anticipated this situation.
Indeed.
If you were to name the strongest among the Great Stellar Gods, aside from […] of magic, it was none other than him, the king of gods, the sun of gods, […].
And as soon as he appeared, the atmosphere changed. As if he had been deliberately hiding his strength all along.
As expected.
[No wonder they don’t call you a slime for nothing; your life is tenacious. Well, you shouldn’t be taken down by just that. Why do you think I purposely got hit by you and stayed holed up underground?]
“……!”
[Now there’s no one left to be wary of; I can kill you at ease. You, and your brat, too.]
“!”
At those words, Aseuran, who had sealed […] underground, staggered to his feet.
“Well, I didn’t think you would die quietly, but…”
It seemed the Great Stellar God of the Ennead had, for some reason, deliberately pretended to be defeated by Aseuran and had been lying low underground.
As proof, […] raised the corner of his lips.
[That stupid Odin. To be dragged away by his own karma. That’s why he should have hidden like me. What an idiot.]
Dusting off his hands, […] smiled at Igeon as if praising him.
[Anyway, thank you very much for taking care of those damned other Great Stellar Gods and that problem child as well. Little boy.]
Then the gods looked at him in shock.
[Taking care of… Don’t tell me!]
[Why do you think I pretended to be defeated by that bastard and hid underground?]
[No way…]
[Yes. It’s because of that divinity you’re holding.]
[……!!!]
[…] chuckled as he looked at Garan’s divinity that Igeon held.
In fact, […] was a substitute.
One of the six authorities the Primordial God possessed.
A substitute for […].
In short, it was an authority that could be obtained no matter what one did, no matter what sins one committed.
However, because its very power could not be stolen, it was an authority that forced the use of a substitute.
Anyway, […] and the other bastards excitedly used that substitute […], but […] was different.
He had noticed at some point.
‘So Jagyeolsa was Garan.’
It was back when the divine realm was turned upside down because Olympus’s white death god had stolen a precious item from the Great Stellar God of the Ennead.
The gods made a huge fuss about declaring war and whatnot, but well.
Only […] had gotten goosebumps in a different sense.
‘It’s him.’
Even if he himself might have been unconscious, he was the only one who could steal an item that had been strictly sealed.
And having noticed that, […] deliberately did not use […] after that.
[Because I knew that if that bastard regained his memories, he would kill the others with […]. Because he’s that kind of guy.]
And after that, […] knew that Garan would also die from his own karma.
Upon hearing those words, the gods got goosebumps.
[Don’t tell me, that’s why you hid pretending to be defeated until Garan disappeared…!]
[Indeed. It was a dog’s death. No, a sacrifice for me!]
As […] laughed, the heavens and earth shook violently.
Kwang!!!
“Kyaaaak!”
Lava boiled up from the ground, and in an instant, Earth was engulfed in light.
There was no time to come to one’s senses after that.
Flash!
Along with an intense flash, half of Earth was horribly blown away.
Crrrack!!!
[An unnamed life has perished]
[An unnamed life has perished]
[50% of Earth has been damaged]
It happened in the blink of an eye, literally.
All the stellar cities and gods were horrified and began to use healing and protection skills, but the damage was immense.
However, […], as if his body had been stiff or as if he had just stretched well, smiled.
At this, the fallen Aseuran secretly tried to move his hand, but Hwaryunju pressed down on Aseuran with overwhelming force.
Kwajik!!!
“…Keuk!”
[Former master!]
Aseuran’s physical body was annihilated in an instant. And what emerged was the slime’s body.
The slime could not move as if dead. And as if he had sent off the most troublesome one first, […] laughed as if disgusted.
[You won’t be enough anyway. You already failed to kill me before.]
And it was just as Hwaryunju was about to completely annihilate the slime.
Kwang!!!
Igeon appeared from behind and aimed for […]’s neck.
As the immense forces clashed, the heavens and earth shook.
And looking at him, […] smiled as if finding him commendable.
That was because, along with the aura of […] rising from Igeon’s body, the entire land of Earth was being revived by the power of […].
[A commendable child, trying to save his own land while keeping me in check.]
Igeon frowned.
The destruction range of Earth was 50%. There were quite a lot of dead or seriously injured lives.
But this much was still manageable. With the power of […], he could save both Earth and its lives.
However, watching that, […], as if finding it cute and delightful, smiled his uniquely arrogant smile.
And along with that ominous smile, […], who had noticed something, transformed into a dragon.
[Snake god! Withdraw your power! Protect your own body first!]
But […] flashed his eyes as if it were too late.
At the same time, an unbelievable thing occurred.
Flash!!!
As if the earlier act of blowing away 50% of Earth had been nothing but a joke, the entire Earth was engulfed in a flash of light.
And then.
Kwang!!!
Earth disappeared in its entirety.
Along with the powerful shock, both gods and stellar cities were swept away.
And when Igeon, who had withstood the force, raised his head, he could not maintain his expression.
What he saw before him was neither land nor city.
[100% of Earth’s land has vanished]
[No aura of life can be felt from Earth.]
[Survivors 0]
“……!!!”
The color drained from Igeon’s face. What was before his eyes was nothing but empty outer space.
Only the debris that had been traces of Earth were scattered like dust.
The only ones left alive were a few people from the stellar cities inside the semi-transparent body of the dragon-form […].
“E, Earth is…!”
“Those people over there… Don’t tell me…!”
It was, truly, the extinction of humanity.
[…] laughed softly.
[Why? Did you think I, too, would have an attachment to a mere colony like the other Great Stellar Gods?]
At those words, Igeon’s eyes widened.
[Life Stage 6]
When he activated the power of life, an astonishing thing happened.
Kugugung!!
[Activating the power of […]]
[Reading past data, Earth is revived exactly as it was.]
[All lives on Earth are restored to their original state.]
The vanished Earth began to return to its original form.
Even the Great Stellar God looked surprised at that sight.
It was not merely the land that was turned back. The land, the countless humans. Could restoring such a scale all at once even be possible?
At that sight, […] watched as if impressed.
[Oh. You combined […] and […] to restore even that much land. What a truly remarkable child.]
But […] let out a snicker.
Along with that laugh, he once again completely blew away Earth.
Kwagwagwang!!
“……!!!”
He had merely moved a single finger.
People writhed in hellfire and were burned alive, and the land of Earth was also shattered to pieces.
He had rendered all that hard work of restoration meaningless.
[The universe and such, in the end, are just toys like sandcastles.]
Igeon, eyes wide, tried to launch Hwaryunju with […], but at that moment, […] stopped.
[Annihilation]
Having […] among the powers of the Primordial God, […] could even annihilate the effects of authorities.
Therefore, […] curled his lips with a hint of cruelty.
[Try regenerating as many times as you want. I can annihilate infinitely, but you know better than anyone that there is a limit to regeneration and resurrection.]
“……!!!”
[And even if your brat can kill me, so what?]
“!”
[I can die and die again, and be endlessly reborn through inheritance. What’s more, I can even retain my memories. But what about you?]
The Great Stellar God laughed softly.
[A god grows stronger the longer they live, the longer they are remembered, the longer they are worshipped. But at most, barely 20 years. A fledgling god not even remembered for a single century—do you think you could even achieve inheritance? You should know that fact better than anyone.]
“……!”
That was Igeon’s only weakness.
A god whose history was so short he could not yet achieve inheritance.
[In other words, once you die, I only have to wipe out those vermin again.]
[What do you want?]
At […]’s words, […] grinned wickedly.
[Hand them over. The […] and […] that that dragon brat has. And above all, the […] that you, the snake god, possess.]
Igeon flashed his eyes as if enraged.
This bastard really is too much.
