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.

章節 590: CHAPTER 748

[T.L: punisher87]

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

Swoosh-!

Murakan extended his fist with all his strength towards the evil god.

The impact of the fist colliding with the sword created a massive shockwave that engulfed the three individuals in a swirling chaos.

Unlike Jin or the Plutonian Tribe, Murakan didn't possess complete immunity to chaos.

However, due to the overwhelming power of his own body, it was nearly impossible to infect him with a mere blow.

Although not fully recovered, he was closer to his prime compared to the first attack on garden of swords.

The evil god retreated first. Evil god formed clusters in both hands and fired them at Murakan while retreating.

"Hahaha, back then, time was against me! Are you afraid of me? Ah, well. You're quite sharp, I must admit!"

After saying that, Murakan quickly whispered to Jin again.

'Kid, the truth is I don't have much time this time either. You know that, right?'

'Miss Misha said that would be the case.'

Currently, Murakan's absence meant the same as Solderet's absence.

If he stayed absent from the "Realm of the Gods" for too long, the order of the world related to shadows would collapse in an instant.

'But if I can buy you some time to recover and then leave, I think you can handle it on your own. You've already been quite injured. You've done well to bring it to this point.'

Solderet's divine power was now embedded in Murakan.

As a result, there were things visible to him that mortal eyes couldn't perceive.

As long as Jin's body remained intact, the current state of the evil god was manageable by Jin alone.

'It was done by sister Vahn, not me. Just protect me for about a minute for now.'

'Understood.'

Whoa...!

Murakan transformed into his true form, spreading his wings.

The evil god, with heightened venom, swung its sword at Murakan.

A fierce battle was unfolding outside as well.

Padler showed no signs of falling behind against Bale this time, and the newly arrived Army of Chaos was too massive in scale.

Above all, the issue was the mental attacks through chaos and the number of Black Knights.

The allies began to suspect that the evil god had resurrected all the previous Black Knights of Runcandel.

The four former patriarchs were effectively commanding all those Black Knights.

However, Jin and Murakan couldn't afford to focus on the outside.

Jin took out a gem that looked like a round ruby from his pocket.

It resembled the Wavelength Tracking Synchronization Device, but it was a completely different object with a different purpose and name.

Numerus's blood.

It was a gift received in advance from Zipfel in preparation for the final battle.

Although Jin was neither critically injured nor on the brink of death, he didn't hesitate to put the blood in his mouth and chew on it.

He used it solely to recover his stamina and fight the evil god in his full state again.

It was a fight worth it, whether it was blood or even tears.

Woosh!

As the divine blood filled his mouth, Jin felt a sudden surge of vitality vanishing. Life returned to his eyes, and his heart pumped blood rapidly throughout his body.

His muscles tensed as if they would explode at any moment, and his senses became incredibly sharp.

The darkened illuminating heart gradually regained its original radiance.

Exactly one minute later, Jin was able to hold the sword again in a more perfect state than ever before.

Aura enveloped Jin's body, forming a dazzling protective shield. Then, mana surged and spread in all directions, and the shadow force wrapped around Bradamante.

Through the expanded mana like a curtain, a summoning circle was being opened.

[Gaaaah!]

The territory of the evil god, the dead world called the Castle of Evil god, had already been completely shattered and turned into parts of Ram's body, allowing Tess to be summoned once again.

"Oh, what a surprise! At least give a warning when you're bringing this gentleman along!"

As Tess breathed fire, the shadow force and aura were added accordingly.

Flame of hell.

And eternal flame.

The two fires symbolizing Runcandel's Magic Sword were pushing back the chaos, creating a surge of energy.

Murakan couldn't combine flame of hell with the shadowless spear like Misha, but he simply added immense shadow force to strengthen the flame of hell.

What was piercing through the evil god right now was not just a sword.

It was the will of fire that had continued for a thousand years in the history of Runcandel. Jin clenched the sword that pierced the chest of the evil god and twisted it.

[Guhhh!]

"My clan, my home, my deceased brothers, countless innocent lives! They perished and were destroyed by your hands!"

Unbeknownst to himself, Jin was screaming.

"The strongest Runcandel in history? The clan that is not threatened by anything? What you were trying to do is something even the demigods, Temar and my father, couldn't accomplish. Look at the result of your reckless actions! The Garden of Swords is destroyed, the knights, the clan...!"

[Shut up! If the clan was so precious to you, you should have never left this place even once. Chiron too! My decision was not wrong!]

"Die!"

What drove Jin insane was the realization that even if he killed the evil god, the things that were already broken could never return.

He couldn't fight with composure anymore.

It didn't matter. Now he was convinced that he could tear the evil god into a thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces.

But even if he did that, this fury wouldn't be relieved.

The pain of the people who died under the influence of the evil god, the suffering of those who were left behind, would never disappear.

Slash!

Jin pulled out the embedded sword horizontally.

The evil god immediately regenerated, showing its absorption of Eternal Flame as before.

With a malicious gaze, Jin drove the blade into the same spot once again, twisting and slashing.

When the evil god tried to dodge, Murakan forced her movement.

Both Jin and Murakan's bodies began to accumulate wounds one by one.

Blood, shadow force, and chaos intermingled, staining the air.

While flame of hell was being maintained without a break, the decisive killing moves and secret techniques of Runcandel clashed incessantly.

Meteor showers and black meteor showers fell simultaneously, while sword waves and black sword waves flew at neck-breaking speed, obscuring the sight.

Falling petals and Falling petals, Black Cross and Annular eclipse, Heaven shatter and Heaven Shatter...

The sword techniques that could shatter even the bodies of powerful warriors and the gods were assaulting those who were once formidable. They stabbed and slashed at each other.

Breathing became rapid, and throats kept convulsing, sending forth spurts of blood.

For over thirty minutes of intense battle, the evil god lost its physical form over twenty times.

Even if the neck was severed, the torso split in half, reduced to pieces, or even completely incinerated, it continuously regenerated.

Could the clan be so stubbornly rebuilt and resurrected?

Can this clan called Runcandel, with only a few people left, be revived after this fight is over...?

Sometimes, when such doubts arose, tears would gather in Jin's eyes.

He would definitely make it so, but now more than ever, he longed for the landscapes he could never see again.

The Garden of Blades, which was dark and cold, where he had no place to stand in his previous life.

The cold and indifferent people who confronted him in his previous life. The cruel family from which he had no choice but to leave.

Even those painful memories became so nostalgic that they felt like rotting his heart away.

If someone were to take away his privilege of regression and restore Runcandel to that time, even if it meant he would be exiled and silently meet his demise without ever encountering Valeria, if he had the choice, Jin would definitely nod his head.

"Such a thing won't happen, because I will never be given such an opportunity. I have to kill you and bear the heavy duty... the duty of Runcandel. The duty to restore Runcandel as a towering presence in this world."

Jin swung his sword, uttering incomprehensible soliloquies to the evil god and Murakan.

His body, restored by Numerus's blood, felt heavy as if it sank into water once again.

The evil god's regeneration was also delayed, and her body did not form as quickly.

No one in this world.

There would be no one who would want to kill their own mother.

No one would want to be a child of such a mother, and no one would want to be destined to save the world from such a mother.

Jin was no different. He had never desired such a future.

He fought against it, just because it was the inevitable point of convergence of an inescapable fate.

He surpassed it.

"Ahhhh!"

Jin swung Bradamante while letting out a scream.

Flame of hell disappeared, and Tess returned to the fire dimension.

Murakan was still present, using his entire body to block the chaos and prevent Jin from getting hurt.

Slash!

The black blade, wrapped in shadow force, slashed across the evil god's chest.

And for the first time, instead of chaos, the evil god spewed out watery blood. It was as if it spat out fresh blood like a human.

The Eternal Flame, which had been continuously absorbed, left a hazy blue ember on the evil god's chest for the first time.

The evil god clenched onto that flame.

[Sshh, gasp...!]

The evil god exhaled short, panting breaths mixed with the rustling sound.

Her trembling horns and wings gradually melted away.

The horns that wrapped around her body fell to the ground like tattered scales.

Finally, the Eternal Flame burning in her chest began to dispel the chaos.

As time passed, the evil god's appearance became increasingly reminiscent of her human form.

Jin did not suppress his complicated emotions as he aimed his sword without hesitation.

And he had a gut feeling.

This fight would ultimately end with Jin fighting the evil god alone, without Vahn, Murakan, or any other companions.

[Kid, are you okay?]

As Jin nodded, the turbulent storm of chaos surrounding the three of them continued to surge.

The storm instantly engulfed the three of them.

[A final struggle, huh? If you use chaos of this magnitude in your current state, there won't be anything left. I still have some time left, so I'll break through first and finish it once the chaos subsides…]

"No, Murakan. You go first."

[What? Why?]

"The outer battlefield is being pushed back. Go and help. Besides, this chaos can't harm me anyway."

Murakan was about to say something but then shrugged his wings when he saw Jin reach into the storm of chaos. Unlike before, the storm of chaos really didn't harm Jin at all.

"It's a final one-on-one. I'll win as always, so go and save at least one more person. You are the guardian deity of Runcandel, after all. You should fulfill that role."

Saying so, Jin gradually stepped toward the evil god.
