Chapter 187. Standing Above the Head of a God
“Die, you! Die!”
Quite the rugged projectile flew towards , but I was able to withstand it.
No. As if I had collided head on with a fly, it would be more accurate to say that I didn’t feel a thing.
Abilities of polar opposite elents had collided with one another.
However, it was obvious that I would take the high ground here.
If a regular Iceberg and teor Call t with one another, then both cancelling each other out should be the expected result.
Both would receive massive amounts of damage and fall out.
In this case, however, you could say that this was a fight between a regular Iceberg and a transcendent teor Call.
There was that much of a difference in terms of raw power.
Even with Galima’s fierce attacks, the water continued to evaporate.
The lava that was coming out from my body that had changed its appearance to that of a magma golem was causing the water to evaporate at an incredible rate.
The visual effect was strong enough to prevent from seeing the area around .
Giving up on my sight, I focused only on getting rid of the water around .
While I did so, I continued to keep in mind the oxygen inside of the mana balloon and consuming the King’s Marbles.
“You little! Argh!”
In the middle of all that noise, I could hear Galima’s yelling clearly.
It seed that they were quite furious that their attacks weren’t working on .
It wouldn’t take long before they would appear before .
Water was Galima’s strength and life.
Their strength was disappearing before their eyes so easily, so how could they just stay hidden.
Even if they did appear before though, I wouldn’t be able to see them, since the situation around was too complicated.
It was then.
A growl.
‘What, human, no. Did they give up being a god?’
It was hard to believe that this howling was sothing that they could let out, as I could hear the sound of their fierce Fear.
Since Galima had the appearance of a normal human, the sound they were making right now didn’t fit them at all.
Since I couldn’t open my mouth or breathe at this mont, I quietly thought to myself these thoughts.
However, since the Fear continued on for quite a long ti, I couldn’t help but check.
But it wasn’t as if I could afford to slack off on getting rid of the water in the limited ti I have left.
Desperately hoping that I could see their form, I casted Eye of Insight.
After confirming their appearance, I couldn’t help but let out a gasp of air.
That was the sight that ca into view was sothing that I couldn’t hold back my surprise of.
With a massive body size that was hard to describe, four legs befitting that size, and wings on their back, it was a Chira.
‘That’s insane. It can’t be. Why is sothing like that here?’
“Chira! Destroy that human. Take that human’s soul and fill your belly.”
“KUWUHUNG!”
“Kuhaha! It seems that you’ve just confird the presence of the Chira. Can you handle them?”
“……”
“Unlike the one you’ve slain in the demonic realm, this one won’t die so easily. That one was only a copy that Karupedan tried to mimic! Demon King? Demon king’s Chira? They aren’t worth anything. Go! Destroy him!”
“KUWUHH!”
All sorts of profanities were at the tip of my tongue.
This situation felt far more hopeless than the ti I faced the Chira for the first ti in the Demonic Realm.
If what they said was true, this Chira was far superior and stronger than the one from the demonic realm.
I had defeated the Chira in the demonic realm with Eternal Rest, which I had obtained via chance.
Exactly as I had said, all I had done was use that one skill against them.
Chira’s destructive capabilities, defensive capabilities, and how strong they were didn’t matter at that ti. That Chira was annihilated into oblivion on the spot.
Eternal Rest was a skill beyond ranking that could only be used once.
It had taken up one of the 5 slots of the skills beyond ranking I could ever obtain, and continued to take that place even after its use.
At the ti, it was a skill that was absolute and important, but now, it was useless.
If I was able to use that skill continuously, it wouldn’t have taken even an hour to clear things up in the celestial plane.
However, I couldn’t use Eternal Rest even after obtaining mastery over mana.
It was true that after I’ve obtained complete control of mana, cooldowns didn’t matter to , but that didn’t cover this spell.
It really was a one ti use skill.
Thus, this ant that I had to use my strength, not Eternal Rest, to defeat the Chira.
The one good thing was that I had grown a lot stronger since the demonic realm.
When I had conquered the demonic realm, I had obtained the power of mana, magical energy, and the King’s Marbles.
Right now, however, I had the ability and powers of 5 gods.
And right now, Galima’s attacks weren’t working on .
There was the factor of being polar opposites in elents, but there also was the difference in strength between and them.
And while this being the case, they summoned a creature?
I should be able to defeat the summoned without much difficulty.
After all, there wouldn’t be any summoned creatures that would serve a master weaker than themselves.
Ah. There is the Chira that could be summoned using the Demon King’s Authority, but since it wasn’t a contract of absolute dominance, it didn’t count.
The Chira charged quickly in an attempt to body slam .
A creature this big doing an attack like this would cause a massive shock.
However, right now, my form was far larger than that Chira.
That was because I had copied the form of Dehaka, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a mountain had been moved here.
That was why there wasn’t any shock or damage to .
Almost as if mocking for worrying, it was a pathetic attack.
The Chira saw that I didn’t even budge and made so distance between us once more.
Then it tried to do the sa attack again.
“KUWUH! KUWEH!”
‘Let give you a snug hug.’
“W… What! Chira! Hurry up and get away from him! Now!”
‘I really want to tell them that it’s too late.’
After crashing into with massive force again, it attacked with its front legs.
At its fierce spirit, a bit of the lava fell off from my body into the water, cooling and hardening away.
However, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
It was the equivalent of removing a fistful of sand from a sandy beachfront.
Ignoring that attack, I swallowed the Chira whole.
Similar to how you covered the stuffing with flour when making dumplings, I had completely swallowed it whole.
I could perfectly sense the Chira’s screams and resistance as it struggled to get free.
It was no different from being eaten alive, so it was expected that its struggles to survive would be intense.
I focused a massive amount of strength to the area that had swallowed it whole to compress the Chira.
It was to speedily and to increase the guarantee a bit further on getting rid of it successfully.
“Kuweh……”
“Ah… No way… This can’t be……”
“……”
The Chira’s resistance didn’t continue for long.
The body that flailed around slowed down, and the strength behind its Fear was reduced.
Even while this was happening, I wasn’t slacking off on the task of evaporating the water around .
Galima’s groaning continued, and I replied with putting more strength into the task.
****
“Whew. Caught you, you little sh*t! I was so frustrated that I was going to die from it.”
“Kuhu… You little……”
“It’s awful that you’ve held on for this long with this ugly form. Eating so many marbles made extrely full too.”
“Why is it that none of my attacks are working against you! Dehaka was definitely a much weaker existence than I… And even the Chira as well……”
“Dunno? Why don’t you think about it while I beat you up?”
I had evaporated all the thick and sticky water that Galima had made.
It was a massive amount, but my body did not cool, still leaking lava and boiling nonstop.
I could already see the ground of the area they had created, which had beco a prairie.
This ant that the area where we were had no water left anymore.
In turn, Galima’s power and lifeforce had been completely drained.
Also, the Chira that was trapped inside my body and had struggled was no more.
lting away completely, it had turned into a tiny leftover that the lava had finished digesting.
After getting rid of their ability, their real form was revealed.
The radiant figure was nowhere to be found, and instead was replaced with a pathetic appearance instead.
The armor and weapons had lost their light and were covered in fractures, and the fair hair that had co down to their waist had beco disheveled.
It seed that with this attack, Galima had used up everything that they could.
Canceling Dehaka’s magma golem ability, I returned back to my original form.
My body was still red hot, and the floor around was beyond dry, searing into a crisp.
The mana balloon that was floating above my head like a speech bubble had completely deflated.
I had nearly used up all of the oxygen and King’s Marbles.
If this went on a bit longer, then this situation would have turned for the worst.
I walked over to them, who was hunched over and barely holding on.
“This… It’s a dream. This is sothing that cannot be……”
“What a nonsensical fellow, aren’t you? Do you even sleep? Do you even dream?”
“Karupedan!”
“Folks like you seem to search for her when you’re about to die.”
“Give one more chance! I will share allegiance to you! Karupedan!”
-crack.
“Kuhh!”
“Ti for expressing your opinions is over.”
“Kuwuh.”
“Since we’re on the topic of dreams, the seat of the Unrivaled God that you wanted so badly. I shall be the one to fulfill your ambitions and dreams in your stead. Your power will probably be a huge asset to making that dream co true, so I’ll show a bit of thanks as well.”
Grabbing on to their throat made them writhe in pain.
Since they couldn’t breathe in the first place, their groans weren’t because they were struggling for air.
It was because the force behind my grasp was strong enough to twist their neck, and the pain made them groan so.
Having lost their fighting spirit and combat capabilities, they couldn’t put up any resistance and were drowning in pain.
I held their throat in one hand, while I materialized the blue flas of Full Fire on the other.
It seems to burn faintly at first glance, but the heat from this skill was the equivalent of teor or magma.
This was an attack skill that wasn’t from being an Awakened, but sothing that you could make with mana.
A flaming sphere was created near Galima and I.
This was the worst punishnt I could give.
Killing the God of Water by burning them with fire.
Was there any other thod as painful and cruel as this?
“You are already aware of your sins. The punishnt is becoming cooked fish. Any objections?”
“Kuhuk!”
“I’ll take that as no. One, two, three. Case closed.”
“Huhuh……”
Despite their legs slowly burning into a crisp from the flas, Galima did not move.
Their bodies shook as they stared at a single spot with fixed eyes.
Their body did not shrivel up and there was no smoke.
Emitting a bright light, their body was slowly dissipating.
Galima’s rigid shoulder went limp.
It looked as though they either lost their consciousness or their life.
At the sa ti, I tossed them to the floor.
“Whew… Just when did you beco this cruel? Oh my……”
“Oh?”
The place that Galima stared at until the end.
I wasn’t able to see with my own eyes, but that was where Karupedan was.
It seed that they begged for Karupedan to save their lives at their last monts.
From over there ca Karupedan.
Extinguishing the trail of flas and standing near , she made an awkward smile as she spoke.
“Guess it really is over?”
“Yep.”
“You went through a lot. Even though it was difficult, you did well.”
“Serious expressions and talks are awkward for .”
“Kehe. It’s because it is complicated. Complicated.”
“That’s why I said you’ll regret this.”
“I don’t regret it. Now. Shall we end it around here?”
“Hm…… I can never end the Unrivaled Goddess at a place as shabby as this.”
“Hm?”
“This ti, I’ll lead you. Follow .”
“Kehe. You really are an amusing person.”
