Jjeojak─
Your gods slowly approached, narrowing the vast siege.
Cryos’s divine realm [Wonyum Jinbyeol San], Galua’s divine realm [Elegy of Charity], Yenkal’s [Land of Abundance and Evolution], and finally Omertha’s [Infinite Inferno].
Literally, they were closing in on Yuma’s [Deadly Battlefield].
Crack! Crack!
The massive radius of the Deadly Battlefield, nearing 500m, was being consumed by the four divine realms.
Yuma was not overly flustered.
He simply gazed at the approaching forces, over 300 strong, with calm, jade eyes.
‘They’re not so threatening, excluding Omertha.’
[Lv.623] Cryos
[Lv.572] Galua
[Lv.592] Yenkal
[Lv.672] Omertha
‘Barbatos.’
The [God of War and Struggle], Barbatos, whom he himself had killed. Once again, he confirmed that this guy was among the stronger ones of the Eight Evil Gods.
The ground screamed.
The realms bit into each other like a Venn diagram.
Kwadadadadadak!
The real clash of divine realms began.
The party that sensed something amiss was not Yuma, but the four gods opposing him.
The intersection between the four divine realms and the Deadly Battlefield was distorted as if it was abruptly bent at a right angle.
Soon, beyond the distortion, it evaporated as if being ripped apart.
Deadly Battlefield (死活必戰地).
A bizarre divine realm that only provoked enemies to attack itself.
High risk.
Self-sacrifice.
Thanks to this bizarre constraint, the [Deadly Battlefield] attained a higher divinity when battling against other [divine realms].
Rank.
Excluding Omertha’s divine realm [Infinite Inferno], which surpassed the threshold of 650 levels as a point of transcendence, the other three realms began to rapidly crumble as they touched Yuma’s [Deadly Battlefield].
The first effect of the Deadly Battlefield: It destroys divine realms with divinity clearly lower than Yuma’s.
The divine realms that had been unleashed faded away the closer they got to Yuma.
Galua twisted her mouth.
“What the hell…!”
Yet, the four gods could not stop their steps to kill Yuma.
Tick-tock─
That’s because only 5 minutes remained in the attack limit Yuma had declared on the divine realm.
Approximately 2 minutes left.
Cryos, the [God of Revenge and Courage], stomped the ground hard while wielding a massive spear. In an instant, afterimages stretched like twangy candy.
“We must deliver death to that just-born brat─!”
And he sent his will to his fifty [Crimson-Haired Cat-Folk Swordsmen].
To tear apart that human, Yuma, walking majestically and fearlessly toward them.
Kwaaaaaaaak!!!!
Receiving their master’s will, the Crimson-Haired Cat-Folk let out a battle cry and lunged at Yuma.
Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
Bam! Bam!
Rampage.
It was a charge so fierce that it could barely be described otherwise.
All around, an army rained down with ferocity.
Yuma glanced up at Omertha, the only [God] among the four who hadn’t been destroyed, the [God of Flames and Grief].
“Out of the four, the Eight Evil Gods is only you. No, now it’s the Six Evil Gods.”
Omertha, approaching Yuma, had a face contorted in rage.
With a body made entirely of flames, Omertha’s mouth opened wide.
“You will not kill the [Deity] anymore!!!!!”
From the depths of the Purgatory, crimson flames surged upward.
The [Mother of Sinister Charity], Galua, raised a colossal scythe, woven with countless thoughts, high over her shoulder.
‘If I can’t take this guy down with this all-out attack…’
The outcome was unfathomable.
Even with a sense of victory, Galua couldn’t ignore the creeping anxiety.
And she instilled her will into the black giants, who could be called her children and followers.
To tear apart the [God] standing alone before her.
Boom!
Over a hundred black giants charged towards Yuma.
Around 150 gigantic insects, the minions of Yenkal, in the shapes of scorpions, mantises, stag beetles, and centipedes, trampled the ground as they advanced.
An army of 300 minions.
Their masters, the four gods.
Screeeeeech──
Various trajectories rushed in from all directions.
Countless spears and swords surged forward.
The [Crimson-Haired Cat-Folk Swordsman] closed in with red divine power scattering about.
The [Black Giants] unleashed their black divine power like a storm.
Gigantic insects flowed with bluish-green divine power like flames.
Swoosh…
As enemies entered the range to attack Yuma, their movements suddenly slowed down dramatically.
It wasn’t a Bullet Time situation yet.
With the second effect of Desperate Battle, the power contained within the divine legacy drastically slowed the enemies’ movements.
Tick-tock─
Yuma activated [Bullet Time].
Time flowed slowly.
Only in accordance with Yuma’s gaze.
He had to break out of this frame.
Only then could he deflect all these nearly 300 attacks.
He gathered divine power that flared up all over his body.
He captured the divine power in his eyes as well.
In that moment.
He further sped up the search for the parrying point, which had originally been caught in a fleeting gap.
Thwang─
And in the slow-flowing time,
He raised his body’s maneuvering speed closer to normal.
Divine power surged up from the soles of his feet.
His divine rank proved that it was possible.
Thwang! Kaboom!
Yuma’s body moved endlessly.
Golden ripples constantly erupted in the air.
Shockwaves and ripples sent clouds of dust soaring.
A fierce wind spiraled fiercely.
The three effects of the life-or-death battlefield: just as close-range warriors wrap themselves in protective energy, the divine powers wrapped around gods and their followers are partially ignored, allowing them to pierce through and strike.
Cryos’s spear bounced off.
KWAANG!
Galua’s scythe rose diagonally.
JJEONG!
Yenkal’s blade hook shot straight up into the sky.
There was only one thing left.
The [God of Flame and Sorrow], Omertha, called forth the flame known as the annihilation of hellfire from the depths of purgatory.
The white divine power was concentrated in the Balmung held by Duke Yuma.
He launched the front of the annihilation of hellfire, which covered the sky.
He parried the attacks of three hundred soldiers and four gods.
And then, the bullet time ended.
JJEOK…
[ABSOLUTE COUNTER]
Shot out.
The attack power of all the forces was reversed.
With ten times the power, it pierced through the attacker.
[ABSOLUTE COUNTER ─ DISASTER DIVISION]
The divine energy of the life-or-death battlefield was heavily enveloped by the three hundred energies.
Countless waves of energy flowed like an ocean.
Pillars of radiance covered the ground.
The long beam of light, branching out like buckshot, struck the three hundred followers directly.
KWA-AAAAAAANG─
The three hundred soldiers exploded in a burst of red light.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG─!
All three hundred followers were swept away, leaving no trace behind.
The land within the radius of the life-or-death battlefield was devastated, as if it had become the primordial earth.
“Ugh, UAAAHHHH!!!!!”
The [God of Revenge and Courage], Cryos, let out an un-godly scream as the red divine energy devoured him from toe to head.
Galua and Yenkal walked the path of destruction as well.
Until the moment of death, they were wide-eyed, as if in disbelief.
Omertha looked at the fiery annihilation wrapping around him. This was his maximum attack, infused with ten times the divine energy.
Even the god called the God of Fire could not withstand the flames amplified in strength.
White flames.
Omertha’s physical body was already burned from toe to head by the white fire.
HWARYEOK…
The flames devoured his head and seemed ready to consume his very soul.
“So, there are five evil gods left.”
Duke Yuma said, looking down at the dying Omertha.
“Are the remaining evil gods strong?”
Omertha, with its body smashed into the ground, gazed at Yuma with its black eyes.
“…You will never be able to kill all the Evil Gods.”
Omertha’s head was completely burned away.
Along with its soul.
The members of the Empire stared blankly at Yuma’s back.
The being who single-handedly annihilated the three hundred troops endowed with the power of demigods.
[Searching for the ‘Divine Name’ of the ‘Nameless God’.]
Just a moment ago, there were a total of five gods, including Yuma, in the Intermediate World, who had heard the Holy Sound (聖音).
But now, only Yuma could hear that Holy Sound in the Intermediate World.
The other four had perished.
However, the gods of the Divine Realm, the higher dimension of the Intermediate World, could still hear this Holy Sound.
All the gods from the outer and central divine realms.
And the remaining five gods among the Eight Evil Gods as well.
The laws of this world rewound Yuma’s achievements.
Divine Power.
Legally obtained through the Transcendence Altar.
History.
Killed the Black Dragon [Elcam—Acreon].
Killed the King of the Giant Tribe [Ades].
Killed the God [Incrinew].
Killed the Catastrophe of the Sea [Leviathan].
Killed the Demon King [Vefaron], [Megirus].
Killed the Great Demon King [Berzette].
Killed the God [Barbatos].
And just now, the deaths of four more gods were added.
Mythology.
[All ‘Myth’ of the ‘Nameless God’ has been confirmed.]
Divine Names are created from myths.
And they are greatly influenced by how they have been called through someone’s mouth.
Humans.
And non-humans.
Yuma has been called.
[Searching has been completed.]
Another proven name.
The gods of the Divine Realm doubted their ears at the continuous Holy Sounds resonating in their minds.
“This situation isn’t progressing well,” said Hene, a member of the Eight Evil Gods, with white hair, skin, and red eyes, known as the [God of Frost and Trials].
“The stars are falling. Malphas.”
The crow-shaped god, [God of Grievous Constructions] Malphas, looked at the sky of the Divine Realm with its black eyes.
The six massive stars that had been hovering high above.
The one at the farthest edge shattered, scattering fragments.
Then, the three enormous stars below it also perished.
“A huge star is bound to rise in the Intermediate World.”
Hene’s words were soon realized.
Crash…
[God of War.]
[The God of War has been born.]
[The first god in the Intermediate World has been born.]
In the sky of the Divine Realm, four stars had fallen.
In the darkening sky of the Intermediate World, a bright star was born.
