Chapter 463 Chapter 458: Debt to Settle
A grand castle spread in front of us as we entered the land of the Outer Gods. Like a stitched homunculus made from mixing dozens of different species, the world around us seed to have pieces of all the worlds ruined by the Outer Gods.
As soon as I stepped through, my eyes turned cold.
No one else had followed just yet.
Through the gates that led to the world of the Outer Gods, I stepped in first and told them to wait it out for ten minutes.
I could sense it, quite a few of the Outer Gods had turned to .
"Catene, how are you feeling?"
—Whirr!
The chains hanging from my neck turned into an oversized coat covering my body as I brought my hands together.
"STAGE."
My voice echoed through the entire world of the Outer Gods.
"Seven."
Clouds of black spread over the skies of the world of the Outer Gods. Their numbers were far lesser than anyone would expect.
I sensed four presences turn to in the distant castle up ahead.
That was it.
Cataclysm, had found their residing place.
Protector of this Realm? I rembered that stupid na the King of the Outer Gods had imposed on well.
The skies were covered to the edges. It was then, small droplets of black fell from up above.
A small droplet, making its way straight below, like a drop of rain, a flake of snow.
And just as gently, it touched the head of one of the Outer Gods right in front of .
A sizzle resounded as the droplet tore through its head and the Cataclysm began to spread.
"AAAAAAAH!!!" The Outer God's scream resounded in the skies as it screeched in pain and fell forward, straight to the ground. The Cataclysm spread over its body and tore it from within, removing it from existence.
All the ones around it stepped back.
As it breathed its last.
A storm of black rain fell from the skies.
"AHHH!"
"RUN! RUN AWAY!!"
The screams of the Outer Gods spread through as the rain fell on them.
"How does it feel?" I asked, my words ant for no one. "Why not try to protect your world from an invasion this ti?"
Protector? Don't make scoff.
I was no protector…
I was the disaster that one needed protection from.
Ten minutes of hell passed for the Outer Gods.
The gate behind trembled, and a scream tore through the skies as the clouds covering it started to dissipate, but the darkness in their sunless world had gone nowhere.
"GOO!!!"
"ATTACK!!"
From behind , the elites amongst the elites of all the worlds ca flooding out.
"King of the Outer Gods. Let's begin this war."
The worlds alliance rushed in first, but all of them were hesitant to move further.
A hand tapped my shoulder.
"Rathnaar, what is it?"
"This… did you do it?"
I grinned.
"Of course."
The gate was wide enough, no one dared to block my path.
"I apologize for my previous comnts, friend."
"Go."
Rathnaar raised his tail, it was a sign of great respect from the Dragonewts. With that simple gesture, he turned away and ran into the battlefield as well.

Everyone ranked in the top ten rushed to the castle of the Outer Gods. This place that did not seem to be sothing in the sa realm as us due to its strength had now beco clearly visible.
Though the Outer Gods had grown weaker, everyone had grown stronger.
It was then, as we passed through the entrance of the castle, the ground below started to shake.
Everything around us contracted and expanded as the space around the entrance changed itself. Pillars and columns rose from the ground while the floor curved to cover the sky. Like a blooming flower, the walls around us expanded and shrunk all at once.
"What is…"
"It's here!"
I didn't have the ti to hang around here.
I tried to summon the Cataclysm and slamd it all around . Everything coming closer shredded to bits as the black wave of Cataclysm hit it. The space that was malfunctioning all this while started to collapse.
"It isn't enough…" I heard Albert's mutter.
With a sharp breath, I brought my hands together again.
"Stage Eight."
We didn't have enough ti. I had to get to the King of the Outer Gods as fast as I could.
I slamd my foot ahead as another of the seals broke. A flood of Cataclysm erged and drowned the space around .
All at once, everything collapsed except the mbers of our team.
"Everyone alright?" Asked Charlotte.
We were about to rush ahead again, when a tremor shook the back of the castle.
Standing nacingly, a dragon with three legs glared down at us.
"Cosmic Dragon…" soone muttered.
No one here did not know about him. It was the being that had entered every world and issued a warning just for the fucking kicks of it.
Much like I had done by attacking their King.
[Beings of the realms, stop where you are—]
I got ready to charge at it, when Albert walked forward first.
"Eugene, go."
I stopped.
"I'll take this guy on with Rathnaar."
Albert and Rathnaar stepped forward and faced the Cosmic Dragon.
"You get to their King."
[Brave being, you think you can face ?]
Albert smirked as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Face you? I have been dying to. We have a debt to settle, rember?"
The Cosmic Dragon's eyes narrowed.
As if sothing had clicked, its entire body trembled.
[You… you are the bastard that took my arm…]
"Now I'll take your life."
I took in a sharp breath and turned away.
"Let's go!" Luka shouted at the rest and they followed too.
There was no need to stand back. After all, the one ready to fight Cosmic Dragon was Albert.
The only person who had not lost once since I have known him.
