章 25: Gods Among Us (Final Part)

A wave of light traveled across the planet, and upon touching any mortal, it extinguished all faith in the gods, leaving humans with a great void they couldn't comprehend for a long time.

Back on the battlefield, Inmo looked at the gods and said, "Zeus, I have erased any faith humans had in you. Now, when I kill you, it will be forever." At that moment, the crown on his head began to melt, vanishing into the air, and his clothes darkened, no longer as radiant as before. The power accumulated over thousands of years was needed to reach the hearts of all humanity and erase the faith they had in the gods.

The gods who heard Inmo's words were horrified. Zeus, already in panic, shouted to his allies, "Hold him for a few seconds, we still have a chance." The other gods on the field trusted Zeus and stood in front of him, protecting him from Inmo. However, Inmo moved with extreme speed in front of Ares and impaled his head using his divine spear. When Poseidon saw this, he decided to attack, using his trident and seismic strength to cause internal damage to his enemy. But the thousands of years of Inmo's fighting experience made a significant difference, and he quickly defeated Poseidon, piercing him in the belly, causing him to retreat. Thus, it continued, and no matter how the gods fought, they were falling one by one.

Until Zeus prepared his last move, he transferred his divinity to the Mother Box, practically becoming mortal without it. However, the Mother Box was able to multiply this power by several layers. Now, he could unleash a final attack capable of destroying half the planet, and so he did. Zeus made his last move, commanding the Mother Box to launch itself at Inmo and explode. Inmo, seeing this attack, tried to be faster and threw his spear, which flew through the air like an asteroid, attempting to pierce Zeus.

Those who could see the attacks thought that both strikes would meet in the air and cause a cataclysmic explosion. However, suddenly, the Mother Box deviated from its original trajectory and shot rapidly into the sky, disappearing into Earth's atmosphere. Zeus, unaware of what was happening, received Inmo's attack and had the upper part of his body erased.

After Inmo finished off all the gods, he looked into the distance toward his city and flew at a tremendous speed, leaving a trail of white and gold wherever he went. In seconds, he appeared above his city, where the battle had already ended. His people seemed to have defeated the Atlanteans, as they were now removing the bodies and taking prisoners. After a few minutes, all the onlookers looked up at the sky, witnessing Inmo, who appeared more divine than ever. He began to descend from the sky, heading toward the royal palace. Entering the throne room, he floated to the golden throne, untouched by time, and calmly sat on it, finally accepting his place in the grand scheme of things.

All the citizens looked at this, understanding that Inmo had finally accepted being their monarch. In their hearts and minds, a voice echoed these words, "Long live the god emperor." This voice soon took shape in the voices emitted by the citizens, the sound spreading like a fervent cry of joy. Many different voices united, forming a single voice that declared, "LONG LIVE THE GOD EMPEROR."
