Chapter 448: Going in Fully Prepared

—

The Hindu Pantheon didn't fall in a single day, unlike the others. Shiva was hailed as the strongest God, standing even stronger than the Biblical God if sheer destructive power was taken into consideration.

It helped that he was aided by other Gods who were said to be his equals, Vishnu and Brahma. The Preserver Vishnu had the power to negate and counter most attacks, while the Creator Brahma spawned an endless number of battle machines, matching the [Plate Mail] army of Trihexa.

However, even with such great matching, the Gods couldn't hold on forever. A few days later, the Hindu Mythology was on the verge of crumbling. The three Gods were still engaged in battle, but millions of minor Gods have perished in the meantime. A stray attack or two took out a good chunk of Gods at once.

Other Major Gods engaged in the battle as well, but they weren't of very help. The Beast 666 couldn't be tired out, and with its regenerative powers, it was the Gods who were growing tired - dying.

At one point, Brahma sacrificed a portion of his existence to cast a barrier around Trihexa, the inside of which stretched in all directions endlessly. So that the fight could take place somewhere else, away from this place where Minor Gods were getting caught in the battle.

The [Barrier Before the End].

"If anyone goes inside, it's impossible to return outside without defeating the beast- cough!" While coughing blood, the old God had said. "But we do need to go. If nobody keeps the beats busy, it will break out of the barrier in no time."

After he said that, his body was devoured by a shimmering lotus, and fell into a deep slumber to recover from this.

The Hindu Gods quickly contacted the other Pantheons for help. Since there was a separate space keeping Trihexa away, the destruction could be minimized as long as Gods kept the beast busy inside. Since this didn't just concern the survivability of the entire world, the other Pantheons didn't have any choice but to come and help.

Thousands of big and small Pantheons gathered, and even the Fallen Angels and Devils came to help. The presence of the Biblical faction caused many to grow curious.

"Where is [Admin]?" Asked Parvathi, the Wife of Shiva, who currently took the form of Goddess Durga. "If he were to come, it would be beneficial."

"Heh, perhaps he's just scared. He did die to the Beast 666 last time, maybe he does not wish to get killed in the same fashion." a God from a less-known pantheon said, scoffing as he stood with his arms crossed.

"Wrong culture, and bad timing," Durga let him kiss the back of her hand before he let it go and straightened again. "Will you be going inside now?"

"I shall, yes. I have been cultivating my powers for the past couple of days, using time dilation in a pocket dimension to train myself. I think it's about time for a rematch." He looked at the others present in the area. "Hopefully none of you have to go in. But if we don't return in a minute, which should be equal to an hour inside, then rush inside."

They just nodded while Durga blinked. He could tell the exact difference between the times of the two realms. Indeed, Omniscience could easily reveal that to him – but Durga wasn't expecting him to have regained so much of his previous power.

"We understand," so she quickly agreed to his proposal. "However, isn't one hour too little?"

"According to my calculations and [Omniscience], if I can defeat the Beast on my own, then one hour should be more than enough. If not then I'd need backup," he spoke and no God doubted him for a second.

Indeed, Shiva was the "strongest" God since strength in this sense was measured by how much one could destroy. However, when it came to the most powerful God, there was only one who could claim that title—the God who had returned from death.

The Gods, Devils, and Fallen Angels watched as Neji floated off the ground and went towards the 24x24 feet square box made of shimmering white barriers. The six women followed him as they submerged into the realm, starting a battle immediately.

In the distance, the Fallen Angel Azazel was frowning deeply at Admin's back. That made Durga curious if something had conspired between them in the last few days because she recalled from that stream that Azazel and Admin didn't have any bad blood between them. What changed?

Ignoring that line of thought for now, Mahadevi Durga crossed four of her ten arms with a solemn expression as she counted each passing second.
