Chapter 322: The Truth about their Creation (3)

Hmm, Kronos mumbled as a weak light seeped into a dark space. Gradually, the glimmer gained strength and began creating a shape. Did he think of that?

He had used the Scythe of Time to monitor the battle through a crack he had created in the dimension. Kronos wanted to watch the fight between Gabriel and Gi-Gyu because it wasnt going the way he had expected.

I guess I know for sure now.

Kronos had fallen into Chaos and had spent a long time inside. However, he hadnt been alone there. Gabriel, El, Lou, Raphael, and Satan had all fallen into Chaos. They had spent an unknown amount of time inside. And just as the name suggested, chaos was omnipresent in Chaos. It was an indescribable place, but Kronos had seen something there. He wasnt sure if the others had also seen it, but now he knew.

Gabriel might not have seen it all, but he certainly caught a glimpse, Kronos suspected that Gabriel had seen the truth about their creation, which had to be why they were in this situation.

Hmm. Kronos watched the projection of Rome and contemplated for a moment. He mumbled, This will get dangerous.

Kronos realized that if he didnt interfere, Gabriels plan would work perfectly. Now that Gabriel had shown himself, he was bound to become a significant threat to Kronos in the future.

I could just take care of him now Kronos knew that he could eliminate Gabriel right now quite easily without making any sacrifices. But instead of jumping into the projected city of Rome, he smiled. But I think Ill just watch for now.

Gabriel was still unstable, so Kronos decided not to take care of him now. If he left Gabriel alone, he would appear.

But This battle was impossible to predict. Gi-Gyu was incredibly powerful because he could use Gods power, Chaos, Death, Life, and sorcerous energy.

But even he might not be able to do this. Even in his current state, Gabriel was a formidable opponent.

So Ill just watch for now, Kronos mumbled. He wanted to see if Gi-Gyu could do this. As if reacting to Kronos, the crack in time shook.

Fwoosh.

A bright light hugged Kronos as it brought what was happening in Rome to him. As if he was standing in the middle of the Colosseum, Kronos could see everything.

***

Everyone had thought the battle in Rome was over. However, that changed when a light beam from the sky fell in the middle of the Colosseum. It was becoming stronger, and those around it and even outside the structure were getting drained fast.

Ugh groaned a player. Lamentably, things were much worse for the non-players. Their breathing slowed down dangerously; before long, a silence fell as they fainted one by one.

N-no Hamiel, whom the light bream was hitting squarely, mumbled as he opened his eyes. He had fainted, but now, he staggered to stand up and looked around.

Ackkk He could hear the screams of the players, but they sounded faint to him.

Protect them. When Hamiel ordered, his dark energy formed a small but firm dome-shaped barrier.

Ugh. Hamiel coughed up blood suddenly. The light beam had awakened him before he could recover completely. Having to use this much energy was taking its toll on him. But ignoring the bone-wracking pain, Hamiel carried the players around him. He took Sung-Hoon, Alberto, and the other association players to safety.

This place should be okay. Hamiel found a place less divine energy could reach.

We still have time, he mumbled, believing that he still had some time before who or whatever was coming down this beam would arrive. This was why he communicated silently while enduring the intense pain.

-Pplease open.

Hamiel wasnt sure if his voice could exit the divine energy-rich light beam and reach the place of safety.

-All right! But only for a moment! The energy around you is too powerful! Just what is happening over there?!

When Hamiel heard Brunhearts voice, he smirked. A moment later, a blue gate just big enough for a few people to enter opened. It was the entrance to Eden.

He also knows Hamiel realized that Lou probably also understood what was happening.

Youre the real nemesis of the angels, Lou said with a smile. Ill help you.

Boom!

Powerful energy emanated from Lou. It was strong enough to make Hamiel shudder. The effect was satisfying. Hamiel hadnt been able to block all the divine energy, but with Lous help, it was now fully contained in the middle of the Colosseum.

Lous voice shook a little as he explained, The players outside are already on it, so dont worry.

It was clear that Lou was using a lot of his power for this. You have done your part, so

Fwoosh!

It appeared that Lou had even more power to offer. With an explosive sound, more of his energy joined the effort.

Lets just last until he returns, Lou added.

Hamiel had never felt energy thicker or denser than Lous. In comparison, what he had been using until now was nothing.

Lou is using true Death.

Genuine Death wafted from Lou.

***

Ugh His body ached like it was shattering. It was even worse than when he had forcefully absorbed that giant amount of sorcerous energy.

Dammit, Gi-Gyu cursed. The Chaos attack he had just triggered threatened to swallow Gabriel and the whole world. Gi-Gyu tried to prevent this, and it took a much larger toll on him than he had expected. After all, taming a calm stallion was easier than taming a wild one.

But this was exactly what Gi-Gyu was doing. He was trying to stop his attack because of what was in front of him.

Michael? Gi-Gyu whispered. Michael was kneeling before him, slumped forward. Gi-Gyu used to believe that Gabriel was in total control of Michaels body, but he realized the truth as soon as he had released Chaos.

-Im Michael!

Gi-Gyu stood closer to Michael and asked, Michael? Are you really Michael?

His body was still throbbing, and he knew he wouldnt last very long. Just then, a dying voice stammered, Y-yes

Michael looked straight into Gi-Gyus eyes and muttered, D-dammit what have you done?

Michael could barely raise his face, but the look in his eyes told Gi-Gyu that this was indeed Michael.

Youre really Michael, Gi-Gyu whispered. He no longer felt an odd energy from Michaels body. But just to be sure, he placed his hand on Michaels head to read his memories.

What are you? Michael jolted. Whether this was Michael or Gabriel, he had no power left to hurt Gi-Gyu. Gi-Gyu had stopped as much of his Chaos as possible, but he couldnt contain all of it. It had affected him and the man kneeling in front of him.

Its really Michael. Gi-Gyu could read the memories; if this were Gabriel, he wouldnt have been able to do this.

What have you done? Michael dryly asked again, and Gi-Gyu turned rigid. At first, Gi-Gyu thought Michael was just protesting because his body was damaged, but he realized it was something else.

Dammit. Gi-Gyu took his hand away from Michael after reading his memories. He now knew Gabriels plan.

El! Gi-Gyu screamed.
