Venus couldn’t believe it.
To think that the world she created herself, the world where she was the absolute ruler, had been conquered.
She already knew that there was a first world.
However, Gaia didn’t tell her that she had been defeated by Ra there.
‘If I had known, I would have prepared.’
If she had known that Ra was such a formidable enemy…
‘No. It cannot be.’
It had to be a misunderstanding.
He invaded the Shadow World so casually, and pressed it with the power of the Shadow World, but it didn’t work.
But would the results change drastically if she had prepared in advance?
It could have taken a little longer, but this was bound to happen. Ra was so powerful that she couldn’t do much.
Still.
“You should have told me!!”
Feeling deeply betrayed, Venus shouted at Gaia.
“Either find another way or run away. I wouldn’t have chosen any of that!”
“Huhu. Is that why she didn’t want to talk about it?”
“…What?”
“This is the only safe place to hide from me. But what if you learned the truth and decided to leave this place and run away?”
Then Gaia would not have a place to hide.
In other words, she used Venus to hide herself, despite knowing that this would be the outcome.
“Such a terrible wench.”
Even at that, Gaia turned her head away and didn’t respond.
Venus bit her lip at this.
Taking a step back, she said,
“I will no longer be involved in this. I just want to save my life.”
It was impossible to fight Ra.
The feeling of betrayal from Gaia had risen to the top of her head. She didn’t want to get involved in their fight any longer.
Losing this world would be too much, but it wasn’t more precious than her life.
The spirit realm was fun, and Venus was a spirit, so it would be a big problem if she continued to stay here.
“Kuaak.”
Ra began to laugh, as if Venus’s sudden change of attitude was funny.
“It is truly insignificant indeed.”
He put his hand into the pocket of his trousers and slowly approached Gaia, who just continued to glare at Ra with eyes wide open.
The two faced each other at a breath’s distance. If Ra tried to twist her neck, she wouldn’t be able to stop him.
Then, the only answer was a preemptive strike.
Gaia thought so and was prepared to attack at any moment.
But she couldn’t attack, and Ra said,
“You know what, Mother?”
“…”
“I no longer have to take the power of the pillar from my mother.”
“What was that?”
Ra had been frantic to find Gaia in order to get the power of the pillar.
But he didn’t need that anymore?
It was something she couldn’t understand.
“You must be quite shocked. Right, I never thought it would turn out like this either.”
“What are you up to?”
“What do you think? Isn’t it quite obvious?”
He said it as if it didn’t matter.
“I have a substitute that is much more efficient than having authority over the pillar.”
“There is nothing that can replace the pillar, even if you search the entire universe.”
“Right. It is the only support that maintains this false world.”
Gaia frowned at the word ‘false.’
“It’s not a lie.”
“Huhu. Depending on how you look at it, your thoughts will change.”
“What the hell are you up to? You killed all your brothers and colleagues to take away the authority of the pillar from me, and now you don’t need it?”
“I just repeated the first world. But isn’t it very different from the first world?”
“I should have killed you.”
None of this would have happened if she had killed him right when he was born.
But she didn’t.
To be precise, she couldn’t.
The reason came from Ra’s mouth.
“Then this world wouldn’t live, right? The purpose that I was born and the purpose that my other siblings were born. Did you forget it?”
Gaia clenched her fists.
Her fingernails were digging into her skin, but she couldn’t do it.
The reason she couldn’t kill Ra.
It was because he served as a support to maintain the balance of the newly created universe.
It was Ra alone.
Shin Nong, Bokhee, and Yuwah too.
They were the four beings born to be responsible for the four directions of the universe. So if Ra were killed, the balance on one side would collapse, and the foundations of the universe would be shaken.
Of course, they weren’t needed forever.
Over time, the balance of the universe would come into the right form without them.
If there was a problem, it was that Ra had become so much stronger that Gaia couldn’t dare to do anything.
“Isn’t it funny? Mother kept me in check. You did everything to not let me become stronger.”
It wasn’t like Gaia had given up. She couldn’t change the fate of Ra’s birth, but she could make it so that he wouldn’t be as strong as he was in the first world.
That was what she thought when she created the second world.
“But all of that only made me stronger. It is all thanks to Mother that I managed to come this far.”
The numerous trials made Ra stronger. His mother’s harsh actions did that to him.
“So I will destroy this false world.”
“It is impossible without authority over the pillar.”
“No, it isn’t like that.”
Gaia couldn’t understand his intentions. To destroy this world, there was no other way than to have the authority of the pillar.
Because the pillars were the absolute truth of a world, and they were the meaning behind a world’s existence.
“With such a fixed mindset, it is impossible for you to seek change.”
As if he could read Gaia’s thoughts, Ra threw a sharp blow.
“Do you really think that it is the only way?”
“What are you going on about? How can the world be destroyed without the pillar…”
Having said that, Gaia’s eyes widened as she looked at Ra in silence.
“Such an insane thing! You tried it and failed!”
“Right. It failed in the first world.”
“It is impossible to destroy the pillar! It doesn’t matter even if you have become stronger.”
“Hahaha!”
Ra touched his forehead and began to laugh, while Gaia began to step back at the change in his attitude.
Ra wiped his face and threw his glasses to the ground, breaking them.
“It works now.”
“…”
“Jamie Welton. He grew a lot better than I had expected.”
“Are you planning to absorb his power? Even so, it is impossible. You know it. You need to be a lot stronger…”
“I don’t need to get stronger.”
Ra suddenly spread his hands wide, and the Shadow World began to tremble.
Venus, who was watching this from a little distance away, felt the control of the world being cut off from her.
“My world!”
Ra brought his stretched arms together, and the darkness enveloped both Gaia and Venus. Then he said with a cold face,
“The pillar will be destroyed because of the vibrations from the fight between me and Jamie Welton. So stay here and watch, Gaia.”
“Wait, I!!”
Venus struggled to get out, but the Shadow World was taken over by Ra.
Her hand got buried in the darkness, and Ra smiled as he shook his head.
“One piece forward. There is just one more piece left.”
Extending his hand, Ra condensed some of the Shadow World’s darkness into his hand. Then, as he took a step, the Shadow World vanished, and a huge pillar appeared in front of him.
“If it is you, you will be able to fill this piece.”
When he put the darkness of the Shadow World in the pillar, the chaos happening within it could be seen.
Black foam could be seen from the outside, and Ra stepped back to avoid being touched by it.
The bubbles filled the surrounding area and formed to the size of a person in an instant.
Ra took out the object he had prepared and moved it in front of the human-shaped bubble.
“Wake up.”
He put half of the God Killer in his hand into the bubble.
The bubble swallowed the God Killer right away and emitted black energy.
Darkness wrapped around the bubble, and it began to take on a clearer human form with black hair and purple eyes.
It had a skinny form but also a strong look.
“How does it feel to be out after a long time?”
“… Refreshing.”
“Right? Diablo Volfir.”
The one who had been half-asleep for eons of time opened his eyes.
Jamie frowned.
‘My other half has been awakened.’
He felt it right away. He couldn’t help it since they shared the same soul. It must have been the work of Ra.
‘Shouldn’t it be impossible to touch that place?’
He thought so, but he soon erased that thought.
It wasn’t like he couldn’t do it, and Ra probably pretended like he couldn’t. Jamie didn’t know why his other half had been brought out now, but he wasn’t exactly scared.
Rather, since he was only half a soul, he wouldn’t be in the best form.
What was scary was the purpose Ra must have had.
‘There is no way he brought it out for no reason.’
There had to be something—maybe a means to make himself stronger.
If it were him, he would be able to do so. It was the highest probable answer.
Then, how flustering would it be?
‘Does he still not see me as his opponent?’
Ra’s exact purpose was all just an assumption until Ra spoke about it himself.
He wasn’t sure what the God was thinking, but it didn’t matter now.
“Wipe them all down.”
At the same time, Jamie said,
[Eastern Base Completed!]
[The Western Sun Church’s Headquarters has been destroyed!]
[The holy power progress has exceeded 73%!]
All the Gods of the Black Tower moved. Their speed would be different from before, and so would their power.
Jamie got up.
This war would end with their victory.
Whatever Ra intended, that much would remain unchanged.
-Will you move?
Jamie responded to Seti’s voice.
“Going for the end. Let us end this at once.”
-I understand.
Jamie’s whole body was covered in a pure white suit as he jumped through space.
His goal was to get to the Church of the Sun, which was in the heavens. He roughly knew its location.
He opened the core of the suit and raised its output to the maximum.
Tae Heo flowed out.
Jamie, who had moved tens of thousands of meters in the air, opened the Great Hall to the pitch-black sky.
“First, we need to take down his high nose.”
Tae Heo could be anything.
Even chaos, which was his opposite nature, held Tae Heo.
Jamie clenched his fists hard in the air, as if holding the air itself, and pulled them down.
Kwakwak!
The dimensional curtain that was protecting the heavens was shattered in an instant, and the floating heaven of the Sun Church began to fall to the ground.
At the same time, all 12 Gods of the Sun Church came out startled and rushed at Jamie.
“To think that you yourself would come and fill the causality on this side!!! You must be insane!!”
“Get burned and die!”
Zeus’s blue lightning pierced through the air and fell on Jamie’s head. But no lightning hit him.
“Isn’t this a bit too sudden?”
A huge great sword appeared and blocked the lightning.
Isis, the woman with flowing blue hair, grinned at Jamie.
“Well, this will be fun too.”
It wasn’t just her.
Leaping through the space, all the Gods of the Black Tower gathered there.
Among them were those who showed up after a long time.
Jamie called the man with a sword in his arms, who was far away from him.
“Did you wake up right on time?”
“I had a hard time adjusting to things.”
Vincent.
No, Diomedes slowly pulled his sword out.
“Is this the past? The world doesn’t seem to have changed much.”
He said that to the swordsman on the Sun Church’s side with Ryo-style clothing.
“Jeok Jun-Kyung.” 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐧𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝗼𝗺
“All different faces, but I know who they are. Right, a thing of the past.”
“Right. Of past days. So, we need to set things right now.”
Jamie left behind the Gods of the Black Tower and climbed to the Gods of the Sun Church as he said,
“Ask your master to come. I need to kill him.”
