Chapter 654 New Gods Descend
After piercing the God's true essence an unknown power entered Erste. The power was overwhelming him and it was trying to consume him. The emotions birthed within him gave him not only pain and fear but also courage and joy.
"I'm no longer going to bow down to any God, from today onwards I'm going to live freely!"
Erste gritted his teeth clenched his fist and not only did he not try to force the power out of his body he allowed it to spread even faster. The pain he was feeling right now was unbearable but he did not scream as he kept enduring.
Something was changing within Erste's body it felt like he had unlimited energy within him. The pain slowly subsided and as Erste was stabilizing his breath numerous Gods descended from the heavens. Now that Erste gained a similar power to the Gods he could sense their power and it was even scarier than he initially thought. Feeling their powerful overbearing strength Erste's lips curved into a vicious smile.
There were numerous Gods that appeared before Erste one of them stepped forward and spoke in a voice that made all the beings in this world hear.
"You a human have witnessed the death of a New God and pillaged a portion of his authority and strength. Is this true?"
"I don't know about pillaging anything, but he attacked me and I fought back that's all."
When the New Gods and the Elemental Spirits they created heard Erste's reply, there was a look of shock on their faces. They already knew that a New God had died, and Erste must have seen what happened, but hearing his answer it seems that he didn't just witness the event but he was the cause of it. It was at that moment the New Gods saw the weapon in Erste's hands.
"Hahahaha!!! That guy actually gave a human being a weapon that could kill himself." One of the New Gods couldn't stop laughing.
"Well, to be fair, none of us would think that a human even with a weapon that can harm us could actually kill us. Also, it's not like it's a true death that guy will resurrect later but with weaker strength."
"Still, I wonder what was going on in that guy's mind to give a human a weapon like that? Hey human, why did that idiot give you that weapon?"
"First off, stop calling me human I have a name it's Erste, as for the weapon given to me what happened was like this."
Erste explained the cause and effect as to how he received the weapon to kill Gods from a God. While listening to Erste's story the various changes in the New Gods facial expression were quite a sight to behold. After they were done hearing the story they found that Erste actually made a new fun game for them, it's just that the New God who died made a silly mistake in the end.
"That's a rather interesting game you made for us. Give the weak humans a little hope as if they can truly kill us, and then upon tasting hope crush them to make them feel despair."
"That is interesting, but almost all humans don't have any emotions that could make them feel hope or fear. It's just that this guy seems to be special and has shown varying emotions."
to propose to Father (the ORIGIN) to reset humanity and give them some emotions so that playing with them becomes even more fun."
"Now that you say it, that's right... Alright then, after were done with our business here let's make a proposal to those Ancient Gods to propose to Father (the ORIGIN) to reset humanity and give them some emotions so that playing with them becomes even more fun."
"Won't Father get angry if we do that? It's already touching his bottom line that we kill humans so much."
"As long as we don't drive humans to extinction or mess with their souls, I think Father will forgive a little roughhousing with our younger brother (humanity). We can make the appeal that humans will become stronger with emotions. I mean look at this guy after gaining a bit of emotions he's able to kill a New God though it was mostly by luck. Also by now with father's Omniscience, he should already know what's happening."
While the New Gods were discussing their following plans they completely disregarded Erste as if he wasn't a threat to them. Seeing them happily conversing in front of his very eyes and hearing what they were saying made Erste suddenly laugh which caught the attention of the New Gods.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
"Did this guy suddenly grow crazy after obtaining emotions?" One of the New Gods asked but the others could not give an answer.
"HAHAHAHA!!! I see, so that's how it is. To you Gods, we are nothing but livestock, where here simply to live and die for your so-called fun. How ridiculous everything is, so the truth of the world is like this."
Even though Erste could not see the whole truth he had seen a glimpse of it, none of these Gods were any good. He might not truly understand the concept of death, but he felt everything about these Gods was wrong.
"Hoh, after killing a weak New God in a surprise attack do you think you have the ability to kill us as well?"
The New Gods surrounding Erste burst out with terrible pressure that was even affecting the surrounding area making the ground tremble and the nearby building start crumbling.
If it was before he got the power from killing the New God, Erste would've already exploded from the pressure being emitted by the New Gods but now he was able to withstand and a vicious smile appeared on his face.
"To actually smile in this situation, you really have gone crazy haven't you?"
Erste gripped the weapon that could kill Gods and got into a fighting stance. The aura that came out of his body was no longer similar to any human being on this planet.
"I see, so you really aren't an ant anymore, you become a bigger bug. Hmph, very well allow me to show you what a true God can do." As one of the New Gods was about to make a move another stopped him.
"Hey, why would you want to end the battle so fast? I have a better idea." The New God showed a wicked smile. "It's such a rare opportunity to meet this kind of human. So let's make our subordinates go first and see how much this kid has improved."
