Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode-Chapter 446: Purpose

The heat of the battlefield still shimmered around her as Asqa hovered above the scorched earth while staring down at the ruin of Tsukuyomi, the Moon God.

She felt a clear sense of satisfaction in her chest. For the first time, she had struck a fatal blow that hit a Celestial.

It wasn’t just a lucky shot. Granted, Clyde had engaged Tsukuyomi first and worn the Moon God down with his power. But that didn’t change the fact that it was her spell — her curse — that had turned the tide. It was also her fireballs that had burned him to the brink of death.

If she hadn’t become this strong — if she hadn’t endured the grinding —[Lunacyst Brand ] would’ve been too weak to make an effect and the fireballs would have bounced off his barrier.

But they hadn’t. The fireballs burned him. And now he lay broken beneath her feet.

Clyde nodded from across the battlefield. That single nod meant everything.

It was acknowledgment and confirmation.

She was no longer just an assistant or a helper. She was also a powerful being.

"Kill him," Clyde said with calm voice.

Asqa’s eyes widened. Kill him?

"Me?" she thought.

It had always been Clyde who delivered the final blow and claimed the essence of the Celestials. That had felt natural because he was the Enforcer of The Ancient One.

She thought thatt she was just a support.

But now Clyde was giving her the right to kill. She realized what it meant.

Just like when Clyde had slain Susanoo and absorbed his essence, now Tsukuyomi’s power would pass into her.

"Is that really okay?" she asked.

Clyde met her gaze across the broken battlefield.

"Of course."

He didn’t elaborate because that one word was enough.

Asqa descended, her boots hitting the cracked marble beside the crater. Smoke curled from Tsukuyomi’s charred body.

But his eyes still able to found her through the burned flesh and the pain.

"You won’t be far..." he rasped, his voice like sand dragged across stone. "The unity of us... will destroy you..."

Asqa stared back, her face cold and hard.

"I’m not afraid of your kind anymore," she said while stepping closer. "It’s enough. Your games... the way you pluck mortals from their homes and family and treat us like toys to be moved or broken... that ends here. We’ll stop it."

Tsukuyomi let out a dry, cracked laugh that turned into a cough. "And then what? What are you going to do? You think without us, the cosmos will thrive? You think you can handle what comes next?"

His words tried to carry menace, but they feels hollow now.

"I don’t know," Asqa said honestly. She raised her wand and aimed it at his heart. "But I do know one thing. The cosmos will be better without arrogant parasites who look down on the rest of existence."

She didn’t hesitate. A firebolt flared at her wand’s tip and condensed into a single point of crimson and she fired.

The bolt struck Tsukuyomi straight through the heart.

For a split second he twitched. Then he stilled.

His Celestial light exploded in silence then become swirl of silver and pale blue light that rose from his corpse like mist. After that it rushed toward Asqa.

She gasped as it struck her chest and her body arching back. Her limbs glowing and her veins ignited.

The power of Tsukuyomi flooded her. the Celestial essence.

She could feel herself changing again and sharper, colder, and stronger.

Her fingers trembled as the last of Tsukuyomi’s light vanished into her body.

She stood there in silence for a moment then straightened.

She looked up. Clyde watching her with a smile.

Asqa rose once more into the air. Her body still shimmered faintly with the remnants of Tsukuyomi’s power.

She ascended and drifted toward Clyde who stood silently at the edge of the broken platform.

She hovered beside him and asked. "What do we do next?"

Clyde didn’t look at her. His gaze remained fixed on the distant horizon, where the ruins still smoldered in silence.

"Do you really need to ask?" he replied with a chuckle. "We keep going and kill as many Celestials as we can."

Asqa paused, glancing back at the ruined temple and the people who had fled and hid beneath shattered walls and broken domain.

"What about the people in this domain?" she asked. "The followers who were now don’t have any master. What happens to them?"

Clyde let out a quiet sigh. It was the first sound of hesitation she had ever heard from him.

"I don’t know," he admitted. "Not exactly. But... I have a plan."

Her eyes flicked to him. "What plan?"

He finally turned to meet her gaze.

"There’s a place that can take them in for a while. It was a hidden sanctuary thatt not bound by any of the Celestials’ chains. They can be moved there and when all the higher beings are gone, when this war is over, maybe the power we’ve gathered from their essences..."

He paused, eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "Maybe we can forge something new. A universes untouched by their laws. A world where mortals can live without being preyed upon. No gods, no apocalypses. Just peace."

Asqa nodded slowly, her heart pulsing with hope.

"A world without higher beings," she whispered. "No judgment from above. No condescension. Just people and other mortal beings living their live."

Clyde allowed himself a faint smile. "Yes."

Asqa returned the smile, smaller but warmer. "I like it."

Without another word, Clyde reached up and touched the dark amulet hanging around his neck.

It flared to life in response to his will. He channeled his magic power.

A shimmering rift split open before them — the gateway to the next Celestial domain.

Together, they stepped through.

Hermes landed in front of Zeus’ army while they were still preparing themselves to march. His attitude and pale face tells everyone including Zeus that he had discovered something bad.

"Something bad is happening to god Susanoo. Maybe even the whole realm is in danger!" Hermes said. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
