Chapter 444 - 444: Consuming a god soul

Boom!

Cyrus and the other new gods quickly stormed the royal palace, moving so quickly that no one could stand in their way. In just a few seconds, they had already reached the royal courtyard where the entire royal family was located and surprisingly no guards were defending them.

"At least the emperor is smart enough to know that their entire forces mean nothing to gods like us," Typhoon said with a hint of contempt in his voice but Cyrus ignore him. 

The royal courtyard was just like any other palace, it had three pairs of golden pillars located at the various edges of the room. The entire room was painted white and at the edge of the room was the throne which was surprisingly placed on the same level as other furniture in the room. In their past life, they were used to seeing kings place their thrones at higher points that way they can look down on everyone else.

"You lived with someone like this for ten years?" Spinx asked with a raised eyebrow.

In their opinion, a king should be someone that must be envied and feared. If an emperor cannot command respect then he's not worthy to rule. What annoyed Cyrus the most about the Emperor was that he was so scared of everything that he tries as much as possible to please everyone.

"Castle! Blata! I am happy to see you all resolved your issues... Now we can all work together.." The Emperor was as pale as a ghost when he saw Castiel and Blata standing together. His original intention was to try to plead for mercy with the winning party but now, both of them arrive together, it would be hard betraying one without making it awkward.

"We? There is no we... You lack the qualities of an emperor and that's why you were easily used by the empire... If we new gods will use this empire as our stronghold... A lot of things have to be changed! That's what I am here to fix" Cyrus said indifferently while gazing at Blata.

"You already have a candidate to replace the Emperor?" Blata asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, we do... Typhoon... Spinx, bring the place down" Cyrus said as he flew out of the castle through the hole on the wall he created when he busted in.

Blata and the other news gods followed him quietly, ignoring the cries and pleas of the people inside the castle.

Upon leaving the castle, Typhoon summoned a powerful tornado which forcibly uprooted the castle from the ground before Spinx created a thunderstorm, striking the castle repeatedly until only dust remained.

.......

Boom!

Boom!

The judgment spear kept clashing with Derik's bone spear, creating numerous shockwaves that prevented anyone below their level from interfering. With the domain crumbling faster than ever, its power has been weakened, limiting Derik's strength in here. The creator was able to break free from her constraints and put up some resistance against Derik. The battle would have ended a long time ago if everyone in the domain were to fight but Derik chose to battle Adinos alone.

"You turned your back on us and joined the one responsible for your deaths? How shameless can the old gods be? Where is your pride?" Derik half growled as he conjured over a hundred bone Spears to assault the enemy.

"You new gods are the reason the beyond was awakened... Our battle which you all caused, caught its attention... It was only trying to prevent the destruction of the realm due to our senseless war!" Adinos replied as she stood on her massive red spear, maneuvering through the bone spear attacks and trying to reach Derik who showed no intentions of backing away.

Seeing his enemy coming, Derik felt there was no need to continue the discussion. The old gods were never known for their pride or loyalty. They should have seen this coming from a mile away!

"Bind" Derik whispered as countless chains exploded from all parts of the realm, lashing on the Adinos and her spear just before she could make contact with Derik. She tried to move but these chains were stronger than the last one she broke free from because they were been strengthened by Derik's death aura.

"You are beyond redemption... Vanish from this world... Death magic: Touch of death!" Derik muttered with a gloomy face as he tapped the forehead of the creator with his index finger.

Brrrrrrrrrr!

The red spear beneath her feet began to crumble. Adinos turned brown and slowly began to crumble like sand been blown away by the wind. He tried to move and fight it but the death aura which was ravaging her from the inside was been fueled by the domain, was far stronger than whatever Adinos could muster.

"And now you have taken my life, you have nothing to gain! I will just reincarnate in a few hundred years... Or the beyond may even choose to let me rise sooner... This won't end well for you!" Adinos hissed.

Hearing her rant about getting reborn, Derik wore a sad look on his face as he caressed her face. He touched her slowly and delicately like a lover would do to his partner and remained silent until Adinos was done speaking before he spoke.

"You fail to understand something.. You must have forgotten the type of god I am... You must have forgotten the magic I command... I can't let your soul go... I intend to consume it here and now... That way, you will never reincarnate and your godly essence will be mine to take... I almost defeated the beyond the last time we fought... I put it in the condition it is now... By consuming the souls of gods my power should rise fast enough to give me a fighting chance against her..." Derik muttered in her ear as a powerful suction force began pulling her soul out of her body.

"No! You can't consume a god soul! No one has ever tried that before... It is too much even for you, that's why the beyond never tried to consume our souls after our death... It's suicide for the both of us!" Adinos warned with fearful eyes.
