"Are you kidding?"

The youth with Louis's appearance had an expression as cold as ice.

But I had no mind to consider why he appeared in the depths of this human soul.

When he started to make a move, he showed no intention of holding back at all.

The terrifying soul offense seemed determined to kill me on the spot.

As I tangled with him, in a fleeting moment, I finally saw the suppressed killing intent in his eyes.

He didn't just want to fight with me to propagate his absurd glory and justice.

He... simply wanted me dead.

Even willing to risk heavy injury for it.

"Glory, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

The God of Glory and Justice said nothing, just the terrifying glow entwining his sword grew ever stronger.

Tornado-like soul power clashed with my vast soul.

I originally thought I could stay unmoved.

For I had wandered the astral realm for countless years, and my soul was no weaker than any powerful divine power.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight with you!"

I felt I was going mad.

The pain of the soul I once feared most had now become mutual torture with him.

Endless agony spread throughout my soul.

It was a torment beyond the resistance of willpower.

We fought until our soul power began to dwindle.

Accustomed to overpowering with force, I noticed my growing difficulty in withstanding his counterattack as time passed.

In a daze, an idea arose within me.

I couldn't keep tangling with Glory like this.

Though I didn't understand why this human could perfectly integrate Glory's soul power, I seemed truly unable to defeat him.

I must summon a force that can balance him.

What Glory hates most are those evil beings that disrupt order.

Then...

With dawning realization, I set my eyes upon the God of Extreme Evil, whom I once caught a glimpse of years before—a presence hidden in the shadow plane.

I employed my innate energy to successfully pierce through the passage between the Ocean of Souls and the shadow plane.

Upon sensing Glory's presence, the God of Extreme Evil, no weaker than me, suddenly awoke, and powerful destructive tendrils began to reach across the passage, like a magnificent deity akin to myself, spreading its soul into the Ocean of Souls.

"Glory, aren't you the nemesis of evil? See if you can withstand the siege of two mighty beings simultaneously!"

Upon sensing the God of Extreme Evil stepping into the Ocean of Souls, I finally felt that lunatic Glory's threat diminish somewhat.

I planned to stir the waters!

Though my words claimed I was willing to fight to the end, after being battered, I had second thoughts.

The God of Extreme Evil has immense strength, and inherently clashes with justice. Once here, he is bound to confront Glory...

"Do you need my help?"

The unwavering gaze of the ever-expanding Black Sun concentrated on the two figures.

I immediately said, "Brother, look how dazzling Glory is—we should unite..."

Yet to my shock, I discovered Glory completely ignored the God of Extreme Evil.

The next moment, I heard the God of Extreme Evil speak softly, "Then let's eliminate evil together."

Beast, who indeed is the evil one?

Things took an ominous turn.

A strong sense of impending death warned me I might have made a terrible mistake.

I watched as Black Sun turned its cold and maniacal gaze upon me.

The next moment, the fiery blaze of Black Sun and the judgment of Glory struck me simultaneously.

No!

Why?

You were supposed to be mortal enemies!

Why do you not resolve your feud, but instead join forces against me?

But soon, I had no more thoughts left to ponder why.

Endless suffering spread over my body.

I sank into eternal darkness.

…

In the Ocean of Souls.

After dealing with the Cosmic Serpent.

Destruction Black Sun faced off against the God of Glory and Justice in the void.

But soon, Black Sun withdrew its gaze, "You finally decided to act personally."

The God of Glory and Justice said nothing.

With a wave of his hand, all was thrown into the depths of the Ocean of Souls.

Seeing the other had no desire to interact with him, Black Sun expressed a touch of resignation from within.

"Then it's up to you, Glory. We shall meet again soon."

Black Sun finished speaking, then followed the passage, departing from the Ocean of Souls.

With Louis's appearance floating in the Ocean of Souls, the God of Glory and Justice quietly gazed down at the restless Ocean of Souls below, then after a while, tilted his head and smiled.

"Finally, it's time."

The white robe draped around him gradually dissipated.

The solemn and cold face softened once more.

The soul of the youth slowly descended, sinking into the Ocean of Souls, as a new round of transformation began.

…

In reality.

Alice anxiously spoke to Vestis within her:

"What is going on with him, why is he still not waking up?"

Vestis replied with some frustration, "How should I know? I'm not an expert, also have some respect for your god."

Alice grumbled, "Respect? What's there to respect, dear Vestis, have you done anything worthy of my respect?"

Vestis coughed, "I severely injured the Cosmic Serpent!"

"But he's still in slumber."

"I pulled him out of the explosion's range in time, preventing him from being dragged into the chaotic rules area."

"But he's still in slumber." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"After an intense battle, I succeeded in destroying the body of the Cosmic Serpent!"

"But he's still in slumber."

"Ahhh, can you stop saying that! I'm not opposed to diving into the Ocean of Souls to help him, but the problem now is I can't get in!"
