An army of Ervas and Veronica's clones flew into the skies, reaching the army of Heroic Gods at an incredible speed.
They resembled bright lights of bluish black and bright green and yellow gold, the Heroic Gods readied their abilities as dozens of divine auras emanated from their bodies, making a spectacle in the skies!
Gods are usually restricted by the miasma in the environment; therefore, it usually takes a lot of energy to protect their bodies when they emerge outside their divine realms! Due to this, they had to coat themselves in their divine power!
Unlike Veronica and Ervas group of Gods, who could survive in the miasma due to having physical bodies, these Heroic Gods were raised into godhood through souls being feed divine power from other Gods.
Additionally, the split souls were also with the avatar of the Bright Gods with them, alongside the various tamed monsters they had taken care of since they began their journey!
However, although the Heroic Gods were able to tell that they were powerful, they were confident in their victory!
"Hahah! Now go, our living bombs!"
One of the most barbaric-looking Heroic Gods pointed his blade at his enemy arm, as ten Gods that were in the backside flew towards Veronica and Ervas!
Phunana, Uphy, Chaneyr, and Kesheia recognized them as their Subordinate Gods!
"W-What are they doing?!"
"Stop this at once!"
"Don't obey them!"
"Wait!"
The gods seemed sorrowful, gritting their teeth.
"We cannot!"
"Our people, our priests, they've been captured by Bestellen's forces…!"
"He said that as long as we fought and used ourselves as weapons… he would not kill them!"
"So please… die!"
The Bright Gods were left speechless… Bestellen had truly gone past the line! He had done things that were unthinkable of!
They screamed, trying to stop their subordinate gods, they loved them as their children, and couldn't act against them.
Veronica and Ervas looked at their chests, which glowed with a powerful light, they saw a certain type of special conjuration set in their Soul Core, which made them literal living bombs!
The more divine energy they infused inside, the brighter they glowed, until they were to finally blow up into pieces!
Was there any salvation for them? The only way to stop them was by killing them before they were to kill themselves, and in the way, damage them…
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!
Countless explosions reached the army of clones as they began to dissipate one by one due to the enormous onslaught of divine power, the Heroic Gods laughed maliciously as they saw their traitors being punished by being used as living weapons!
"Hahaha! Throw yourselves! Fight for Bestellen and give up your lives if you want your mortal priests and followers to keep on living!" laughed the Heroic God with a barbaric look.
Uphy, Phunana, Chaneyr, and Kesheia screamed in anger as their children began to kill themselves one by one!
However, the Heroic Gods suddenly realized something!
The explosions had happened within a large area with clones, and the clones have stretched themselves and fused together into a bubble, absorbing the explosions inside of them!
As the Gods detonated, they caught their blasted soul pieces and gathered them inside their divine realm, one by one, for more clones to reconstruct them back to normal.
No matter if they blow themselves into bits, Gods wouldn't die, they would simply put, end up into pieces. For them to truly die, something like soul break was needed, which these explosions were not based on!
Like broken pieces of glass, as long as they were reconstructed back, these Gods that exploded could be brought back!
However, Veronica and Ervas were not going to just sit there and let them all kill themselves!
"Go!"
They ordered their beasts to rush faster than the Heroic Gods could send their living God bombs!
An enormous worm dragon that could devour an entire mountain, Nidhogg, charged ahead, using his enormous open jaws with many spiraling teeth, it caught the barbarian Heroic God at an incredible speed!
"GUAAGGH..! S-So fast! It almost teleported?!" cried the barbarian, unaware that there were Aurora Clones helping the beasts teleport around, hiding beneath the spatial layers!
Aurora had become incredibly strong, being able to divide her own body to make clones of herself was easy now, her limits in this regard had increased, and her useful spatial abilities could be employed in many ways, shapes, or forms through such methods!
"ROOOAARRR!"
Nidhogg used his sharp jaws and venom to melt and crush away the weak Heroic God, he had become so strong he was even stronger than ancient Beast Kings or Elder Dragons!
"GRYYYAAGGGH…!"
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
Nidhogg used his jaws to eat at the Heroic God's essence, while crushing his innermost soul core which it couldn't digest, which was swiftly stored inside the Spatial Inventory of Aurora's clones1
Another Heroic God came in front of him as he was teleported once more through Short Distance Teleport Spell, he used his deadly poison breath to enshroud him, and all the other Heroic Gods around him, making them all agonize!
"This poison…! UAAAGGGH…!"
"W-Who is this creature?!"
"S-So strong…!"
"This being… is it really a mere monster?!"
In fact, Nidhogg wasn't a mere high ranked monster anymore! After visiting Tevra, he was gifted the bones, flesh, blood, and scales of several Elder Dragons and even the leftover scales, dry skin, fangs, and claws of Tevra! After devouring it all and leveling up to his cap level, he awakened a new power and evolved into a Divine Poisonous Metallic-Scaled Cataclysmic Earth Wurm True Elder Dragon! From a former Poisonous Earth Worm, Nidhogg had truly become the dragon that his name implied!
"RROOOOAAARRR…!"
His poison was like a deadly storm that dissolved the souls of the Heroic Gods, his mere presence shook the skies and distorted space itself! His scales were impenetrable, his jaws destroyed anything, he had become unparalleled within his realm!
But it wasn't over yet, more and more terrifying beasts who had stepped into the realm of Legendary beings who had raised from measly creatures emerged!
