Jin's appearance was changing.

His hair grew long enough to cover his shoulders, and his two pupils were filled with the depth of a Plutonian who had reigned as the absolute ruler for ages.

He was gradually becoming the embodiment of the battle god, Vahn.

It was the result of Jin's ego completely submerging into the subconscious of the Vahn.

Lingling couldn't take his eyes off the abyss where Jin had disappeared within the inner world of the Vahn.

'Vahn! No matter how you look at it, this is not right. If it continues like this, that idiot's ego will completely vanish. So we have to finish this as quickly as possible!'

The Vahn nodded heavily.

Although she made this decision by trusting Jin, continuing the final form of the Plutonian Reign Sword was undoubtedly a dangerous choice.

So, as Lingling said, she had to give her all and end this confrontation in one shot.

Open, a roar that announced the rise of a single person as the King of Lightning.

War, the determination to annihilate the enemy.

Conclusion, a sword that transcends the limits of mortals.

In other words, the ability to challenge a god.

The ultimate lightning bolt becomes a pure white light above all.

The lightning bolts that had dyed the earth started to fade away and swirl, turning white.

The swirling lightning bolt centered around the Vahn absorbed the "order" of the world.

Sound was the first to disappear into the sea of lightning bolts.

The wail of the evil god, the eerie friction of the black and massive flesh mixing with machines, the screams of agony spat out as the ego tore apart, all these deafening noise resulting from the fusion of the evil god and Ram, and the breaths, astonishment, and sighs of the onlookers witnessing it all, and the sharp sonic boom caused by the storm of chaos.

They all fell into the sea of lightning bolts surrounding the Vahn.

Both the Vahn and the evil god, hundreds of fleets, and countless people were moving, but only the Vahn could make sounds or hear them.

Next, their vision disappeared.

The lightning bolts shone so intensely that it felt like it would burn their retinas, closing the pupils of everyone within it.

Even with their eyes closed, all they could see or feel was suffocating whiteness.

Within that, there was a faint image of the Vahn lingering.

Regardless of their position or the direction of their gaze, everyone saw the same scene.

No one was left out, and they were all watching the blurred figure of the Vahn.

They saw something that gave them the belief that they would be protected from anything.

On the other hand, the evil god saw the face of the Vahn.

Just facing it alone felt like her whole body, and even the life she had lived up to now, would be torn apart. The terrifying face, the merciless eyes, they were tearing apart the soul of the evil god.

With the disappearance of sound, even screams couldn't be uttered.

The evil god just opened and closed her mouths like fish, but no sound came out.

Finally, time vanished.

Everything trapped within the lightning bolts came to a halt.

Even allies like Cuicantelle and Enya, who were under Olta's protection, couldn't escape this absolute interference.

'Olta is afraid...!'

Even the two of them could sense that Olta was engulfed in fear. The god of time had been unable to overcome the phenomenon born from a mortal's sword.

Vahn walked slowly through the frozen world.

Within the whiteness, only the pale blade of Sigmund shimmered like a ghost.

And whenever Sigmund moved, the sea of lightning bolts roared in response.

When the sword pointed upward, the sharp essence of the sea reached out, and when the sword pointed downward, the surging lightning bolts sank in unison.

It was as if a giant whale was leaping out of the water.

With each strike of the sword, pieces of the evil god were torn apart. Or they disappeared. The chaos that made up the evil god evaporated like water when touched by the lightning bolts.

The chaos was being annihilated without the possibility of returning to the evil god or the Ram.

A silent massacre.

Those who witnessed it had to come up with such strange expressions. The evil god that had stained the whole world with despair was disappearing within a desolate silence.

Vahn simply unfolded her swordsmanship with a calm expression.

Between the infinitely graceful trajectory left by Sigmund, the despair of the evil god was accumulating.

'So, I, Rosa Runcandel... am such a worthless existence…'

In the end, an indescribable sense of defeat welled up within the evil god.

There was nothing.

She could do nothing. Even while her flesh and soul were being severed by Sigmund, she had almost finished her fusion with Ram.

She had gained an even stronger divine power without losing her identity as Rosa Runcandel.

But what good did it do?

Even if she fused with Ram a thousand times, she could never defeat that monster.

Unless she became a perfect divine being, positioned at the highest point among them all, there was no hope of defeating Vahn.

It felt as if she was going mad.

She couldn't accept it.

The fact that she was wrong, the fact that even the power she had sacrificed so much to obtain couldn't change the situation, the fact that it had to end like this.

It wasn't something she couldn't acknowledge. From the beginning, she was aware that there could be a existence with a power greater than her own in the world.

What the evil god truly couldn't accept was the fact that this was not a fight between herself and her youngest son.

The one she had wanted to confront with her life at stake wasn't the long-lost leader of a great race from 5000 ago; it was her own youngest son.

The battle god was ruining that fight now.

Whether she won or lost, the final battle had to be between herself and her youngest son.

If it was just a matter of borrowing power, she could have understood. After all, she herself had accepted the power of chaos.

But fighting against a monstrous being with no trace left of her youngest son was a horrifying ordeal.

After all, she hadn't completely abandoned her identity as Rosa Runcandel.

By the time the evil god had reached that thought...

Vahn's sword was pointing downwards.

Ram looked like a group of islands formed as the continent split.

Its body, stretching over 5km, had been completely destroyed.

The flesh of Ram and the evil god was being thoroughly shattered and dispersed into particles.

In the midst of all this, the evil god could see a single strand of 'line,' like a beam of salvation.

'What is that line...?'

The evil god could see a red line behind Vahn.

It had never been visible until now, but the red line was naturally connected to Vahn's body as if it had always been there.

Soon, the evil god intuitively felt it.

'It's the same connection point as when the youngest dealt with Luntia!'

The line that fused Jin and Vahn.

The true identity of the red line could only be that.

'Why didn't I think of it? If I cut that line... the battle god won't be able to remain attached to my youngest son anymore! After all, the battle god was summoned precisely because of that line as a medium...!'

Rosa felt as if her heart was pounding within her disappearing chest, even without a physical form.

Hope had arisen.

The glimpses of hope that Jin always found in the moments of despair, and the throbbing sensation when he reached out his hands to grasp it.

Now, the evil god felt a surge of determination.

Amidst engulfing in despair, the evil god's soul seemed to awaken.

If she could only sever that line, if she could cut it, she would be able to fight her youngest son once again.

Her determination burned fiercely.

And then, the shattered fragments of Ram slowly began to move, defying the frozen time.

It was a minuscule movement, but the fragments were indeed shifting.

Vahn regarded this fact with indifference.

After all, given the power that the evil god possessed, such a level of resistance was to be expected. Besides, she already knew what her plan was.

[I suppose you're planning to eliminate whatever connects me and brother Jin...?]

As if there was no doubt, Vahn didn't even bother concealing the fact that she had discerned the evil god's plan.

The evil god couldn't hear Vahn's voice.

Even if the sound had vanished, Vahn's voice resonated clearly in the mind of everyone.

Yet, the reason the evil god couldn't hear Vahn's voice was solely due to her unyielding determination, which had consumed her entirely.

The single-minded determination to sever the red line took shape.

Suddenly, a sword materialized in the empty space just ten steps ahead of Vahn.

It was the frenzy, the beloved sword of Rosa Runcandel in her human days.

After the frenzy, hands formed to grasp the sword and a torso to swing the arms, and eyes with black pupils appeared along with the head and face adorned with chaos horns.

The evil god's body, once again resembling a human form, struggled to move through the air.

With the sword aimed at Vahn, the evil god took painstaking steps forward.

[Do you think it's possible?]

Vahn effortlessly erased the image of the sword with a single sword strike.

As Sigmund's energy surged, it swept past Rosa, leaving no trace in the empty space.

In this manner, the evil god continued to materialize her body, and Vahn put an end to it with each strike.

The evil god had already recreated the body dozens of times, yet the distance between her and Vahn did not diminish by a single step.

Instead, with each dissolution of her body, she only grew further apart.

Even if there was hope, not everyone could grasp it through their own efforts.

The disappearance of the evil god's body meant that Ram's fragments were being consumed.

If a little more time passed like this, the chaos essence of the evil god would completely vanish from this land.

Vahn intensified her focus. She had no intention of showing any leisure or relaxation in her final moments against the evil god.

However, at the moment when Sigmund had bent the evil god's body backward for the hundredth time or so,

A scream echoed from the deepest recesses of Vahn's inner world.

It was Jin's scream.

Qwaul's predicted "one hour" hadn't even reached its halfway mark.

'Kaaaack! Vahn, stop! It's really the limit! You have to stop the battle god fusion right now, if you want to save Jin!'

The abyss within Vahn's inner world was boiling.

Even Lingling was trapped and being eroded within it.

Lingling believed that stopping now would be the last moment to save Jin's ego.

Ultimately, Vahn halted the sword that had been striking the evil god.

The evil god, with a broken and battered body, leaped toward Vahn.

[Lucky for you, evil god,] Vahn remarked.

She didn't dodge the evil god's sword, which was inches away from her.

She simply let it pass, trusting that it would sever the red line.

[I'll leave the rest to brother Jin... and that friend.]

Vahn, through Jin's inner world, whom she had glimpsed since the moment of their fusion, realized that she was not the first and final reinforcement.

[I entrust my brother Jin to you, Black Dragon Murakan.]

Frenzy severed the red line.

章節 589: CHAPTER 747

[T.L: punisher87]

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

Hoooong...!

As if it were a lie, the sea of lightning bolts that covered the ground disappeared all at once. Only the protective shield-shaped lightning bolt that enveloped Jin, who had fallen on the ground, remained.

'...As expected, an excessively high synchronization rate was the problem.'

Jin stood up and assessed his body.

It felt heavy, as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders.

In a short period of time, he had used a power several times stronger than what he possessed, so it was inevitable that there would be repercussions.

'I'm not incapable of fighting. Moreover, the damage on the evil god's side is much greater.'

When he lifted his head, he saw Ram in a devastating state, so broken that its form was barely recognizable.

In front of him was the decaying body of the evil god.

Twisted and shattered horns and a decaying flesh that seemed to be melting indicated a battle that went beyond just drawing blood.

Before Jin could take any further action, the evil god's body completely disappeared and scattered somewhere.

"What just happened?"

"Ha... is it over?"

"The mental attacks through chaos have ceased."

Trembling voices could be heard throughout the allied formation.

Everyone was desperately hoping that this terrible fight had finally come to an end.

However, Orgal narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

He and Jin were the first to notice that the chaos was condensing once again.

[It seems the evil god has undergone some kind of enlightenment.]

"Enlightenment?"

Orgal nodded at Veradin's question.

[Yes. Achieving growth by transcending the boundaries of life and death is not a blessing granted only to mortals. If my speculation is correct, the evil god has obtained an even higher divine power just now. As a reward for defying the Plutonian tribe's battle god... ]

"...So that means it has become even stronger than before?"

[In absolute terms, yes, you could say that. Given enough time to recover, the evil god will undoubtedly be stronger. The chaos that the battle god eliminated is too vast now. I can guess why the battle god suddenly stopped, but if she had just three more minutes, the evil god wouldn't have undergone this enlightenment.]

"Three minutes... It's a shame," Veradin said, engulfed in a tremendous sense of disappointment alongside regret.

Even though the combined might of humanity's strongest forces had staked their lives, they had failed to achieve what the battle god nearly accomplished in less than 30 minutes.

Veradin resumed commanding. While Vahn pressed the evil god, fortunately, the fleet had not suffered significant damage.

Jin's companions on the ground were running toward him.

"Jin!"

"Jin, are you okay?"

"The youngest!"

[12th Flagbearer!]

As Jin turned to face them, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his back and quickly raised his sword.

Swoosh!

A sharp blade narrowly grazed Jin's cheek.

Then, hundreds of sword strikes rained down upon Jin and his companions.

It was the evil god's sword attacks.

Jin's companions tried to step forward and unleash their sword techniques, but Jin first erected a protective shield to prevent them from doing so.

"The chaos has grown even denser. Please retreat as you will be exposed to chaos."

[The youngest, you've driven this evil god to the brink of extinction.]

Once again, the gloomy voice of the evil god echoed.

As if the melted body from before was a fake, the evil god now floated in the air in a renewed form.

[It was truly dangerous... However, fate once again did not allow anything to interfere between you and me. The battle god was undoubtedly stronger than me, but in the end, it couldn't deliver the finishing blow.]

Kwaaah!

The fleet unleashed a barrage of bombardment towards the evil god.

It appeared as though countless projectiles hit the evil god head-on, but the explosions merely momentarily obscured the evil god, which soon absorbed them into its unfurled black curtain and vanished.

The evil god looked down at Jin and smirked.

[Now, I think I understand your feelings a little more. The sense of fate aiding you seems to be something like this.]

"At this point, aren't you tired of spouting such nonsense?"

[Don't get your hopes up. However, since the situation has changed, the stage must also be rearranged.]

From the moment the evil god finished speaking.

Jin and his allies felt vibrations emanating from beneath their feet.

The ground trembled as if it were about to collapse.

Thud, rumble...!

The result of the vibrations was not the collapse of the ground.

Like the roots of a tree being uprooted, the entire ground began to surge upward.

The surging ground swiftly soared toward the fragments of Ram suspended in the air, like a pinpoint.

"Disperse the fleet and engage in evasive maneuvers! Avoid colliding with the fragments of Ram!"

The fleet adjusted its altitude to match the surging speed of the ground and scattered, while the ground forces frantically ran to avoid the fragments of Ram.

It took less than 10 seconds for the ground and the fragments of Ram to merge.

During the process, there were no casualties among the ground forces, but around twenty battleships and dozens of dragons were crushed by the fragments.

5 kilometers.

The emerged area of the ground precisely matched the battlefield of Ram.

The ground moved like flowing water, filling the ruptures of the shattered Ram.

Ram was reassembling. Allies, once again shocked, had to find gaps in the ruptures or widen them further to ascend to the upper part of Ram.

Jin tirelessly swung his Shadow sword. The illuminating couldn't generate the proper lightning energy under the strain of overload.

One by one, the allies took their positions on the upper part of Ram.

Whenever a part of Ram ruptured like a tumor, allied battleships, dragons, and ground forces emerged.

Metaphorically speaking, the allies ascended to the sky and the upper regions of Ram along with the ground.

The first things that entered their sight were the sky tinged with a sickly red and the clouds.

In the midst of it all, the evil god stood, waiting for Jin to arrive.

The form of Ram, now merged with the ground and repaired, was not as stable as before.

It was filled with patches and cracks, like a makeshift garment, and the main cannons seemed to be malfunctioning.

However, the terrifying battleship that stretched for approximately 5km was enough to unsettle the temporary alliance.

As Orgal had said, given enough time, Ram would regain its complete form, surpassing its previous state.

The opportunity still existed, and now was the final chance.

If they couldn't eliminate the evil god today, the temporary alliance and humanity would undoubtedly disappear next time.

[What will you do now, youngest? You may want to escape and call for the battle god again... but I won't allow that.]

The maelstrom of chaos was once again raging at the edges of Ram.

It was impossible for the fleet to break through it, and even Orgal's dimensional portals didn't function properly.

"I've never considered running away. I came here today to put an end to this..."

Shadow force release.

The Shadow force spread from Jin like spiderwebs.

In an instant, Shadow force cast a dense shadow over the entire area where Jin and the evil god stood.

At the same time, the fleet's observing mages confirmed that chaos forces were pouring out from the chaos curtains that formed like a wall around Ram in all directions.

"The northern wall, an army of approximately ten thousand confirmed! Composed of Chaos Dragons, Black Ships, and knights!"

"Lightning energy?!"

"The former ten great knight, Padler Runcandel! Behind him is a large army, including Black Knights!"

[So, that's why I couldn't see you. It's finally time for you to go to hell, Padler!]

"The knight who just attacked the 2nd fleet is undoubtedly a superhuman, and the remaining former patriarchs!"

From all directions, new chaos forces were converging at every wall.

There was Padler Runcandel, the Blue Thunder King, and the remaining four former patriarchs.

Jin couldn't hear the voices of his allies. Not only was the distance too great, but the mixture of Shadow force and chaos energy between Jin and the evil god blocked the sound.

However, Jin sensed the emergence of new forces through his senses.

"Did you have more hidden forces, evil god?"

[It's quite satisfying to know that I have to use all my cards against you. Furthermore, I had to go on an adventure to obtain a higher divine rank... Ugh!]

As the evil god was about to say more, she suddenly bent backward and covered her mouth. A black mass poured out between her fingers, and the evil god's eyes widened.

"Satisfying? It would be inconvenient if you were still so confident after receiving the wrath of the sister battle god. It seems you didn't know your own condition well, intoxicated by your rapid growth."

After the fusion of battle god, Jin received all the memories he had accumulated during his battles with the evil god.

'Conclusion,' the sword that tears through the opponent's soul.

Even if she achieved enlightenment, there were still deep wounds caused by the Conclusion in the evil god's body and soul. An unseen lightning energy was writhing within the evil god.

"And you are not the only one who has the remaining reinforcements."

Jin expanded his Shadow Force release even deeper.

-Just tell Jin to unleash his Shadow Force to the fullest. At the most critical moment. Then that guy will instantly manifest.

A message Misha had sent to Jin through Syris and Mort before the decisive battle began.

[Ahhh!]

The evil god roared and charged at Jin.

Without avoiding the frenzy that would pierce through his eyes, Jin calmly embraced the attack.

Before the frenzy could reach him.

Shadow force condensed in front of Jin, forming a single shadow.

Unruly long hair that reached the waist, fierce pupils shining with a thin glint, and a deeply resonating, low voice.

"Long time no see, kid."

It was the humanoid form of Murakan.

As soon as he manifested, he demonstrated an incredible strength by grabbing the evil god's blade barehanded and stopping it.

"In a situation like this, it feels like your catchphrase is always the same."

"It sounds good, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess."

[Murakan...!]

The evil god glared at Jin and Murakan with a face distorted by anger.

[Well, I expected you to show up. The guardian deity of old days. Last time, you managed to escape, but today, will you fight properly?]

In response to his words, Murakan wanted to respond with a cool and stylish answer but ended up making a rather awkward noise.

"Aww!"

It was because the chaos energy that spread from the blade of frenzy was infiltrating through his hand.

Murakan was startled like someone who had touched fire and took a step back. Even the evil god was momentarily taken aback by the scene. Jin instinctively touched his forehead.

"Well, I temporarily forgot that the evil god is the source of chaos energy. Kid, no one saw that just now, right?"

Jin shrugged his shoulders, but as soon as he saw Murakan acting like a fool, he felt a sense of relief deep inside.

It meant that if Murakan was not serious, then the opponent wasn't as threatening as to be unbearable.
