[Seeing the massive space rip in the sky, you couldn't help but curse, "Ah, fuck! The Outer God must have already guessed my plans of letting Evangeline regain her power as the Goddess of Winter."]
['After all, I can't expect the Outer God to be dumb as a rock. He could somewhat tolerate Tenzin and Kyle becoming Celestial Avatar Masters since they still aren't powerful enough to threaten him. But if Evangeline regains her power and even surpasses her former strength, then the Outer God's life would be in danger.']
[You guessed that even if the Outer God couldn't fully see through your plans, he could at least assume that you had figured out a way for Evangeline to regain her power.]
['After all, Evangeline and I traveled around the world a year after the Outer God's warning, and then she went into seclusion, never showing up in public. That alone was more than enough for the Outer God to assume that she was recovering her power.']
[Aside from you, as her lover, the only other beings who knew Evangeline as well were her former colleague, the Forest God Kania, and her nemesis, the Outer God.]
[The Outer God hated Evangeline the most, as she was the goddess who had severely injured him. If it weren't for Evangeline, with only that coward Kania in the Avatar World, the Outer God would have long enslaved all of humanity, similar to what happened in the Terra World.]
[So, even though the Outer God hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, he had to act before Evangeline could regain her full strength. Otherwise, once she did, even if he managed to kill her again, he would certainly perish.]
[Although you had anticipated the possibility of the Outer God retaliating sooner than the expected ten years, this move still disrupted some of your plans.]
[You sighed. 'Since Evangeline is already forming her own Winter godhead, even if she receives my Invisible Providence godhead, she won't be able to use it right away. After all, swapping godheads isn't as simple as changing light bulbs.']
['At best, she would have to absorb my divinity slowly and convert it into her own. But this way, Evangeline wouldn't just recover her former power—she would become far stronger!']
['She had told me that when she was the Goddess of Winter, she was only at the Median True God Intermediate Stage, just like my current power level. Kania was at the Median True God Initial Stage, so Evangeline was stronger than him.']
['Kania and Evangeline might not have been able to defeat the Outer God, who was at the Peak Stage of Median True God, but that's assuming it was a direct combat comparison. If Kania had been willing to sacrifice himself like Evangeline, they could have eliminated the Outer God together.']
[Of course, you knew not every god was as selfless as Evangeline, and that was fine. Gods weren't that different from humans or mortals.]
[You wouldn't have minded if Kania hadn't sacrificed himself to kill the Outer God after Evangeline had severely injured him. After all, even a god has the right to be selfish.]
[But to betray the world and defect to the Outer God? Not sacrificing your life was one thing, but betraying the world and siding with the Outer God was a crime punishable by tortures far worse than death!]
[Looking at the massive tear in the sky and the impending descent of the Outer God, you knew you couldn't stall any longer.]
[If you were to perish, and Evangeline managed to absorb the divinity from your godhead, she would become a Median True God at the Late Stage. So your goal was not to kill the Outer God—at your current power level, that was wishful thinking.]
[With those safeguards in place, you turned your focus toward the next phase of your plan.]
[You concentrated on the detached room where Evangeline rested.]
[With your invisible tentacles, you carefully manipulated the room, teleporting it to a hidden underground chamber you had prepared long ago. The area was fortified, cloaked by layers of invisibility and presence concealment, ensuring that not even the Outer God or Kania could locate it.]
[Once everything was secured, you turned your attention to the tear in space that continued to grow above the sky.]
[The massive black tentacles of the Outer God finally began to reveal themselves, slithering out of the rift, casting a shadow over the world.]
[You knew you couldn't afford to let this battle take place on the surface, risking the destruction of the Avatar World itself.]
[Without hesitation, you shot into outer space, using your divine power to open up a separate dimension.]
[You weren't foolish enough to enter the Outer God's dimension, but you had no choice but to face him head-on. The Outer God had no idea Evangeline still existed, assuming it was you who had been the one to severely injure him.]
[And so, the final confrontation began.]
[The Outer God, a massive black mass of writhing, grotesque flesh, loomed before you. Its very presence polluted the space around it, warping reality and assaulting your senses with an unnatural, eldritch madness.]
[Its form, constantly shifting and changing, was a sight that would drive mortals to insanity. Yet, from the knowledge granted to you by the Will of the Universe, you understood that this type of Outer God was an inferior one compared to others.]
[Still, it was no less deadly.]
[Without hesitation, you unleashed everything in your arsenal. Your tentacles shot forward, enhanced with the power of your Divine Domain: Invisible Field. Invisible force collided with the Outer God's black tentacles as you combined existence erasure and reality perception distortion to strike at its core.]
[The battle raged on, your powers clashing with the Outer God's reality-bending abilities. Every strike from the Outer God sent shockwaves through space, and despite your best efforts, you felt yourself gradually losing ground.]
[But you managed to injure it—your attacks weakening the Outer God, forcing it down to a fraction of its former strength.]
[By the time the battle was nearing its end, the Outer God's power had been reduced to that of a Median True God Initial Stage, but you were running out of time.]
[You considered self-destruction.]
