The energy of ‘Chaos’ that overturns everything.
A high density of divinity created by that malicious energy surged forth.
Madness and confusion. Waves of desire and sin came crashing down, but.
Kuung
– This shall not be…!
The Seraphim deployed a divine barrier and held it back alone.
A hemispherical protective barrier formed around her.
It successfully blocked the energy of ‘Chaos’ manifested in reality.
But through her trembling arms and legs, it was clear she was struggling.
– Do not interfere, Young God!
Kuung
The divinity emitted by ‘Chaos’ grew even stronger.
The pressure on the Seraphim intensified as well.
– Kh…urk…!
Crack
Then the Seraphim’s barrier began to fracture.
– I am the Ouroboros of ‘Chaos.’ The beginning and the end. The infinite cycle of ‘Chaos’!
With the sacred pressure gradually strengthening.
And ultimately.
Clash
– Ugh!
The Seraphim’s barrier shattered.
The divine energy that had lost its obstacle came crashing down upon us.
A colossal wave of ‘Chaos.’
– No…no!
The Seraphim immediately turned and lunged at me.
Squeeze
Then she embraced me.
Boom
Then came a powerful shockwave.
We were thrown back, engulfed by the divine energy of ‘Chaos.’
“Ugh…”
I seemed to have momentarily lost consciousness.
My head spun, and pain coursed through my entire body.
I was in such a horrific state that I questioned if I was really alive.
– You’re being a nuisance.
The voice of ‘Chaos’ echoed in my mind.
‘Chaos’!
I got up from my spot right away.
My limbs weren’t fully functional, but I couldn’t be sprawled out before the enemy.
Struggling to stand, I could see the Seraphim collapsed in front of me.
Her body, once pure and white through rebirth, was now charred black by the filthy energy of ‘Chaos.’
Her body bore scars like burns everywhere.
Her angelic wings were ripped to shreds.
“Seraphim…”
Did she throw herself at me to protect me?
To defend me.
Turning around, I saw the disciples strewn on the ground, covered in injuries.
They had been caught up in the aftermath of ‘Chaos’’s attack.
An assault so powerful even a god could not withstand it.
I never thought they could be safe.
Those who were relying solely on me were reduced to this in an instant…
– Making my divine energy wear thin is such a hassle. Not only ruining my plans but making me expend even more divine energy here!
I turned my head forward and saw the divine energy gathering toward ‘Chaos’ again.
‘Chaos’ raised a hand and aimed it at me.
Please! Move! Please!
I tried to activate my ‘Gift.’
No, I attempted to.
But the divine energy refused to budge.
It worked fine before, so why now!?
Even after the Seraphim sacrificed herself to save me, I couldn’t do anything!?
– Disappear! Luke Christos!
Just like before, the energy of ‘Chaos’ shot toward me.
Is this how you make all the sacrifices meaningless?
Bam
But once again, the attack from ‘Chaos’ didn’t reach me.
– Thank goodness. Looks like it’s not too late.
– Luke! Are you okay?
– Lord!
Lilith, Ignis, Paulah.
Three gods appeared before me.
“How…how did you…”
– No way. You crushed my army already?
‘Chaos’ frowned.
– That was a close call. Sending minions to us and targeting Lily, huh?
Lilith donned her divine armor.
– Honestly, we almost had a big problem because of Luke. Luke, leave it to us now. We’ll take care of everything.
A blazing Ignis roared.
– My lord, I’m sorry. I couldn’t break through on my own, so I relied on the Holy Spirit’s help.
And Paulah flew up, spreading her wings.
– The traitor Lilith. You’ve actually sided with that guy.
‘Chaos’ glared at Lilith.
– Ha? A traitor?
Lilith replied with an incredulous tone.
– Did you think I wasn’t aware of your involvement with Alburzoa? Even when I entered ‘Chaos,’ Saros was informed. You were the one who led me to fall into ‘Chaos.’
– …You’re not completely foolish, then. Were you sharpening the knife of betrayal all this time?
– When I reclaim Lily… I’ve been thinking about killing you someday. And now this chance has arisen. I’ll annihilate you today and quell Lily’s resentment. …Of course, Lily is still alive.
Lilith declared, aiming her sword at ‘Chaos.’
– You will be annihilated….!
Boom
– You puny young gods! This Ouroboros!
Once more, the pressure of the divine energy rose.
A force emanating from ‘Chaos’ became almost unbearable.
In the next moment, as if someone signaled, the three goddesses dove toward ‘Chaos.’
Bam
Boom
An extravagant battle of the gods.
The flowing combined attacks of the three goddesses rained down upon ‘Chaos.’
– I am beyond your level! I am the god of beginnings and endings, existing since the inception of time! That is who I am!
Countless serpentine energies extended from ‘Chaos’ and surged toward them, but the goddesses dodged through numerous spatial magic circles created by Paulah, teleporting in short bursts.
Whoosh
The sacred flames unleashed by Ignis fell upon ‘Chaos.’
– A mere spark! Do you think it can wound me!?
‘Chaos’ unleashed an overwhelming density of divinity.
Flames and ‘Chaos’ energies cancelled each other out and vanished.
A hazy divine mist emerged.
Amidst that mist, Lilith rushed in.
– What?!
So dense was the divine mist that even gods could barely perceive it.
Lilith’s attack that sprang from within was lethal.
Crack
No, it should have been lethal.
– Ugh!
The clash between Lilith and ‘Chaos.’
Though it was clearly a strike aimed at the unseen gaps of ‘Chaos,’ what I saw was Lilith completely impaled by a serpent of ‘Chaos.’
– Did you really think I was just some incompetent god?!
– Ugh!
Lilith clutched her wound and staggered back, but it seemed she lost her strength and sank to one knee.
– Lilith!
– I have killed countless mortals like you!
Once again, the serpents of ‘Chaos’ descended upon Lilith, but Paulah’s spatial magic circle beneath her shifted her away.
Ignis fell back to catch the repositioned Lilith.
– Lilith. Just rest for a moment.
– B-but if it stays like this…
…everyone is fighting for me.
What am I doing?
– Paulah!
– Yes!
The coordinated attack between Paulah and Ignis resumed.
An assault more sacred and grand than anything seen before fell upon ‘Chaos,’ but.
Crack
– Ugh!
– Puhak!
The serpents of ‘Chaos’ penetrated right through and struck Paulah and Ignis.
– How predictable. It was a fresh and unique method of utilizing divinity, but this level isn’t enough.
‘Chaos’ approached leisurely.
– To think my plans would all crumble because of such weaklings. I’ve exhausted all the divinity I piled up over millions of years to descend here! How am I supposed to get it back!?
Crack
Crack
The serpents struck them again.
But I couldn’t even open my mouth.
Thud
Was it the aftermath of the previous attack? My legs gave out, and I fell.
The issue wasn’t just ‘Chaos’s’ attacks, but the very fact that they had rushed into this realm without any divine energy or sacrifice to save me.
At this rate, their own divinities would be obliterated.
– Ahh, I can’t. Just all of you, disappear. It’ll all restart from the beginning. I’ll erase this dimension entirely.
Yet here I lay, unable to do anything.
The so-called ‘stagnant individual’ of this world.
The one who claimed to understand this world.
What does it mean to be the Son of Deus?
What does it mean to be a stagnant individual?
What does it mean to be Luke Christos!
An incompetent human who cannot even save those who follow me!
Thud
I gathered my strength to rise but fell again.
My face hit the ground.
This way…
Zing
Then my body was enveloped in a warm light.
Huh?
Is this the healing light that used to appear when I manifest my ‘Gift’…?
My wounds began to heal. The pain that was once felt was soon gone.
And vitality returned to my entire body.
– What is this light?
– Luke?
The bodies of Lilith, Ignis, and Paulah, who were about to disintegrate, also regained their health.
– This can’t be. How is this happening?
‘Chaos’ shook its head in disbelief.
– Luke.
A whispering voice tickled my ear.
It was the voice of Deus.
– I’m sorry, Luke. I borrowed your power for a moment.
Deus?
What does that mean right now?
The light surrounding me deepened.
It felt as if a being made of light, Deus, was embracing me from behind.
No, it was Deus holding me.
– The reason Luke couldn’t use his ‘Gift’ was because of me. I borrowed it, even if just for a moment.
What do you mean?
– Luke’s ‘Gift’ is to utilize divinity. However, Luke is currently without deity status. Due to having lost deity status before, your condition is unstable. I witnessed you wavering as if you were about to disappear when you used the divine energy a moment ago. If you had used this power one more time, you would have completely disintegrated.
Did I disintegrate?
– But if this continues, Luke will die. I can’t allow that.
That means…you used my ‘Gift’? Wait. If you do that, then you.
– Yes. Normally, a mother protects her son, right?
With a brilliant and warm light, Deus offered me a faint smile.
I felt her body, her voice, her very being gradually fading away.
– I was meant to have disappeared. Due to past mistakes… I’ve died once. I was briefly happy to become one with you like this, Luke.
…In a state of having lost her divinity.
That fact applied to Deus as well.
If she used this ‘Gift’…
– I am your mother.
Numerous chains of light materialized out of thin air and bound ‘Chaos.’
– Ugh! Get this off me!
– I am your mother protecting my son! I will protect my son!
Don’t.
Deus, stop it.
Using your power more will only—
– Luke. My beloved son.
With all my being.
With all of my essence.
I love you.
