212 – Decisive Battle (7)
Gurrung–
As soon as Stella’s thoughts escaped from my mental world, the reaction occurred immediately and quickly.
When Stella’s force field that supported me and blocked the power of the God of Light disappeared, the power of the God of Light, which had been blocked until now due to the force field, came to me.
However, that power is no longer as powerful as before.
Because the God of Light, the owner of those powers, was not in a situation where he could properly control them.
“Again, again!! Again!!!”
The spirit of light, which was interrupted by Stella and was trying to end me, roars. The sight of him covering his eyes with one hand, shaking his legs and swinging his knife in the air is enough to make you think he is a drunkard.
…Strictly speaking, it is not wrong to say that he is a drunkard.
A common characteristic of drunkards is that they are unable to properly control their bodies according to their own will, but isn’t that exactly the state of the Spirit of Light right now?
“Why on earth don’t the gods of light listen to me?! Huh?!”
The roar of a god of light waving its legs and waving its arms in the air takes shape and spreads out in all directions. That shaped roar passes over the ground covered in glass and magma, causing them to rippling like waves.
You seem quite angry.
Well… They are just the owners with a mindset that is perfect for someone called the God of Light who always acts as they please and thinks they are right. Is there a need to be so unfair?
“You too, disappear too…!! In the first place, Stella, you are the only hybrid that I did not design, unlike Noah and Seraphia!!”
The God of Light, who has barely regained some control over his body, moves his hands and tries to assume the same posture as he did to Seraphia’s thought.
The posture of putting one’s hand into one’s chest and physically pulling out Stella’s thoughts and crushing them.
And when I saw that, I thought it couldn’t be done.
Will Stella die like this?
Stella, who helped me until now, would die in vain like this?
Of course, since that is a dead thought, Stella in the main body has already died a long time ago.
However, since thoughts have their own will and ego, we cannot help but call them living things, so by my standards, that is no different from Stella dying.
Despite the fact that most of the visual cells were burned out by the Big Bang, the scene where the spirit of light tries to pull out Stella is surprisingly visible.
Recovery… Is recovery yet?
Kagagakㅡ
“Big, black…!”
When I try to raise my body, my whole body screams with a creaking sound.
As if he was telling me to wait just a little longer, as if he wouldn’t be able to recover from even recoverable wounds if he continued like this.
But… It doesn’t really matter.
If Stella disappears completely, I will have to face the God of Light without the support of the God of Light, and then no matter how much I recover, it will be very difficult to win with my completely ruined body.
We should do it now.
Now, we must do whatever it takes to save Stella and defeat the Spirit of Light.
Blah blah blah.
[Big, black…!]
From Noble mtl dot com
“This… Dirty slut…!”
I can hear the sound of flesh being torn. The source of this sound is not me, but the spirit of light.
The spirit of light captures Stella’s thoughts by sticking his hand into his own chest, and takes Stella out of his body, not caring even if his heart, chest muscles, and flesh are torn.
“Something this small has disturbed me, so disappear too!”
And finally, the spirit of light that took Stella out of her heart eventually destroyed Stella’s thoughts in the form of beads.
…No, I tried to destroy it.
Squeak!
“ㅡKhaaa!?”
Grasp the bead and use wind magic to cut off the arm of the god of light rising high in the sky.
Originally, it was not possible to cut it this easily, but its body must have become very weak due to the aftereffects of the Big Bang, so it can be cut very easily, like cutting cabbage.
The right hand, which was trying to exert strength, went limp, spewing out mana, magic energy, divine power, and divine power in all directions, and fell to the floor, and the bead containing Stella’s thoughts held in that right hand acted as a cushion. Luckily, it doesn’t break.
“How can you– ㄲ… Grr…”
Only then did the Divine Wife of Light turn its attention away from Stella and properly recognize me, panicking and preparing for battle, but it was already far too late.
A little while ago, I was trying to save Stella, so I aimed for Stella’s arm first, but there’s no need to do that now.
My sword pierced the neck of the Divine Wisdom of Light, and blood bubbles bubbled from the pierced neck, making a very horrifying sound.
…Can kill.
I can kill you.
[Gam, hee…!]
As my other body, occupied by the Spirit of Light, is about to face death, the Spirit of Light is desperately trying to abandon the body and run away.
Seeing as how the voice of the light spirit that was uttered in the flesh changed to a voice that felt like hearing telepathy, just like I heard for the first time, it seems that I have succeeded in escaping from the body to some extent.
I can’t leave it like that… What is it?
aaah!!
[What!?]
At that moment, something strange happens.
The spirit of light trying to escape from my other body is caught by the left hand of that body.
The left hand is grasping with all its might, to the point where the veins are thickening and bursting at the same time, and is not allowing the spirit of light to try to escape.
[Let go of this, let go of this!! Let go!!]
My other left hand, holding the body of light, is pulling the body towards itself and inserting the body of light back into the body.
Despite the fact that he will face death soon, he is pouring all his remaining life force into holding on to the divine power of light.
And all of that reminds me of one thing.
I need to quickly give my other self rest.
Creakㅡ
Ttuk, Ttuk, Ttuk.
[Now, wait!!]
As I slowly walked forward, not paying attention to my bones, joints, and muscles twisting and screaming, I began to tremble as if the spirit of light had found me.
[Let me go, and if you do, I will give you everything in this world!!]
No need.
I can obtain everything in this world on my own without the help of the God of Light.
[Ah, no… Then… Yes, I will make everyone look up to you!!]
There is no need for that either.
What on earth does this bastard know about me? Until now, I hated that kind of life, so I avoided it.
As I ignore everything and just slowly walk forward, the spirit of light soon begins to emit light. He is trying to escape the pressure of that left hand, even if it means splitting his body in half.
But… It’s too late at least.
[Stop it. Don’t come, don’t come!! Don’t come close to meㅡ]
Squeak!!
When my other body is completely cut in half along with the light spirit held in my left hand, the voice of the light spirit that was noisily filling the world just a moment ago disappears.
It’s not just that.
Just like when Seraphia’s thoughts die, the light spirit and my other body momentarily emit light in all directions to the point of blinding, and then quickly become quiet.
It’s not just that. The glass and magma that filled the ground also cooled down as if it had never happened before and stopped emitting smoke.
It was as if nothing had happened from the beginning.
It is so quiet and so dark.
There is only a calm night.
Passeu
All the divine power imparted by the demonic spirit that was wrapped around my body also disappeared.
It’s not just spiritual power. The demon’s divine status also disappears into ashes and dust.
The divine prestige and divine power also disappeared, just like the scenery I was seeing, as if nothing had existed from the beginning.
I guess Elias was right when he said that if the God of Light is eliminated, the other Gods that use it as a library will also disappear…
So… Is it… Over now?
Sharply~
When I realized that fact, my whole body lost strength and soon my body fell backwards.
If I were to sit down like this instead of lying down slowly, it would be a huge blow to my whole body that has not yet recovered, but my body is not strong enough to care about that right now.
I just want to relax and lie down.
[Pa, Faust?? Faust!!]
“I’m alive… So don’t worry…”
[Ah, ah… Thank goodness…]
As if she thought something was wrong after seeing my condition, I heard Stella, who had turned into a ball, chattering loudly next to me.
Ugh… You must be noisy.
Please be quiet… I’m so tired.
[Finally.]
At that moment, I hear a voice from my mental world.
The voice I hate so much.
The voice of the only being I could not properly deal with, even though I had been able to deal with all of them easily until now.
This is… Noah…
…That’s right, Noah’s thoughts were also present in my mental world.
Has I been so injured that my strength to suppress Noah’s thoughts has weakened…?
[The ark is ready.]
What kind of ark is that… Huh…!?
I was embarrassed for a moment because I couldn’t follow the flow of the story, and then I saw a magical sphere in my field of vision.
This is the demonic energy sphere that has always been flying by my side and absorbing the demonic energy I emit.
The magic sphere appears to be responding to Noah’s words, as it buzzes and creates a dangerous-looking vortex.
Why on earth is the magic sphere… Following Noah’s words…
‘…!’
At that moment, along with the method of creating the magic sphere, the strange expression Noah made upon seeing the magic sphere when he first encountered me flashed through her mind.
That demon energy sphere was created spontaneously when I purified the forest that had been polluted by my demon energy.
As an estimate, about 1/4 of the great forest was compressed together with demon energy, monsters, and beasts, and a sphere of demon energy was created spontaneously.
And at that time, Noah… Had been possessed by Gaia’s body for at least thousands of years.
The great forest grew using the body of Gaia, possessed by Noah, as nutrients.
Then… This magical sphere is Noah’s… Ugh…
I finally lose consciousness after seeing the magic sphere approaching me.
