Chapter 14 - Chapter 14:Heavens

*********************

POV:Heavens

The world that the point of view focuses on is known as the "holy land" and is very far removed from the world of mortals.

This world can be described as one full of marvels beyond the comprehension of the average human being. It is also limitless since its inhabitants are not merely common creatures endowed with common abilities, but rather thousands of deities who have ruled their lands for ages

One of the dreams and hopes that humans from the mortal world will be able to realize if they are able to enter this world of endless wonders is becoming immortal and becoming a new god!

However, there is currently an unending battle raging throughout the world between outsiders and the world's gods and goddesses.

[Themus:Hoaaaahhhh!!!!]

Boooommmmm!!!!!!

The war that occurs in a land ruled by Themus, the worldly god, against a so-called "outsider." The vast island is the location of a magnificent gold palace that is perpetually engulfed in the black flames of the great battle.

Boom! Boom Boom!

Themus, the god of this world, sent down several enormous fireballs at random to destroy the invader of his domain, aimed at various floating islands near his palace.

[Themus:Did you see that! You should be well aware that, being mortal, you have zero chance of competing with and defeating the god!]

Themus spoke as he spread his wings to clear the smoke from the explosion of the fireball he had just launched, which was obstructing his vision.

Whoosh.....

[???:....]

Suddenly, a man dressed in a black cloak and a mask made of metal that was not of this world materialized behind the mist of fire. He was standing on a cliff on one of the islands that Themus had completely destroyed, and he was staring at Themus intently without saying anything.

[Themus:How...is this possible...? how come my shoddy attack still can not even scratch him? my strength ought to be greater than that of an ordinary mortal!]

[??? : Although your power is fairly strong, it is still not strong enough to compare with Als by even 12%.]

The man said that to Themus with the intent to provoke him.

[Themus:What???!!!! how foolish of you! you are but a mortal, fortunate to have withstood my vilest form of attack! however, you still dare to offend me, Almighty God? I will put you through torture worse than death itself to make you take back what you said!]

[???:You are no god..... oh human..... from another world...., you are simply a failure sample for me to recycle.... you are no god..... but a puny god... of this world, as a matter of fact..... for me you are just a faker....pretender....]

[Themus:Silence!!!! How could you possibly know anything about who I am? The incredible me, the great me! being compared to such inferior humans! I refuse to tolerate this any longer! Hoaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!]

Crack! Crack! Crackle!

Sha! Sha! Sha!

Themus started to cry out at the top of his lungs as the sky grew darker and lightning struck all around.

[???:....]

[Themus:Behold! The Greatest of All! the highest form, beyond the comprehension of any being!]

Sha! Sha! Sha!

On a massive scale, Themus absorbed all the energy of everything surrounding him, causing the once-evergreen land covered in beautiful flowers to turn entirely black and wither.

[Themus:My perfect configuration!]

Sha! Sha! Sha!

Now that Themus has transformed into his ultimate form, his entire body is completely black, he has long hair, fire-red eyes, and two enormous wings that spread wide to completely cover the sky.

Themus possesses extraordinary wings; if even one of them were to open in the mortal realm, it is thought that his canopy would be large enough to encompass half of the sky over the mortal world.

[Themus:Shine and go extinct!]

Sha! Zap! Zap! Zap!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Themus's originally pitch-black wings turned golden and shone on everything he covered, causing anyone to instantly burn to death if they saw them, much less an ordinary human.

Furthermore, he simply wanted the person who had humiliated him to perish and had no intention of holding back

He struck with a barrage of celestial black lightning bolts that could wipe out the target in their physical, spiritual, or soul form, rendering them helpless to escape.

[???:Hmph!]

Zap! Zap! Zap!

But Themus's opponent was equally unyielding and rushed to launch a counterattack, swiftly moving above Themus's whole celestial lightning strike and repeatedly slashing Themus's body.

Schwing! Schwing! Scwhing!

Kerchak!

The person's quick slash caused a lot of blood to spill out of Themus's body, but...

[Themus:Muahahahaha...]

[???:Hmmmm?]

[Themus:Pathetic...very pathetic! Huaahh!!!]

Zzzztttt!!! Zztttt!!!

Zap! Zap! Zap!

Themus, who was badly wounded, instantly recovered from his wounds and attacked his opponent with more ferocity

[???:Hmph!]

Zap! Zap! Zap!

[Themus: Still on the run? This is not yet finished!]

BOOM! BOOM!

Themus unleashed a more devastating attack on his opponent, sending lightning after him that was bigger, faster, and pitch-black. When the lightning even nearly touched the opponent, it was followed by an explosion that was 20 times more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

BOOM! BOOM!

[Themus:I have heard that you are a huge deal in this world, but after witnessing your difficulties with me, it appears that these are only false tales spread by feeble gods and goddesses!]

Themus stated that haughtily.

[Themus: It is extremely unlikely that you could harm me, much less kill me, given my immense power! You should give up trying to kill me because I am an immortal being that can only be ended by the existence of other people who share my exact same existence!]

[Themus:And you know what? I killed all of my sons and daughters to keep that from happening! Muahahahahahahah!!!]

[???:I see...Immortality....]

[Themus:W-what?!! how is this possible?

Themus broke into a cold sweat when he discovered that the person was still alive and uninjured.

[???:So how about this one?]

The Outsider withdrew a card with an icon of a man who, while somewhat unknown in Themus's eyes, seemed to know where that man originated.

[Themus:Y-you...just who are you???]
