Kwaaaaaak...!
The lower half of Ram's body began to stomp on the castle of the evil god.
Vahn's left hand, which was holding Ram, trembled with immense power.
[Kaaaah!]
In an instant, Vahn swung her left hand with all her might, finally crushing the castle of the evil god beneath Ram, which splattered across the ground.
Ram's enormous size and weight pressed down on the evil god's castle, pinning it in place.
The evil god watched in silence, trapped in the lightning energy of the Reign of the King of Legends.
A sequence of shock and awe continued.
The evil god alternated her gaze between the fallen Ram and Vahn, as if unable to comprehend what had just happened.Ram was in a state of disarray, shattered and disordered. The main cannon of its core was completely deformed, losing its shape, and the upper part, though not visible, was undoubtedly cracked like parched earth.
All of this happened just a few minutes after the fusion.
'Vahn surpassed the common knowledge of those who had experienced the Genesis Knight.'
'How did the ancient gods manage to defeat such a monster?'
Rosa recognized that she couldn't match the supreme gods.
It was because she deliberately didn't attain a perfect divine form.
To become a true god, she needed to become not only the matriarch of Runcandel but a unique order encompassing the world, destruction itself.
However, even though she was incomplete, once she attained divine status, she was confident that nothing among mortals could pose a threat.
That was until she met Vahn.
'Perhaps not obtaining a true divine form was my mistake.'
Rosa grew impatient.
She felt as if she was trapped between walls closing in on all sides, just as when she decided to join the Prophet.
The lightning energy of the Reign of the King of Legends devoured both Ram and the evil god.
The evil god closely observed that the lightning energy wasn't growing larger.
'...If it becomes more intense, it might sweep away the allies as well.'
The reason the lightning energy wasn't intensifying beyond a certain point was clear.
If it became more intense, it could sweep away even the temporary alliance.
If that were the case, she should use it to her advantage, perhaps even staging a drama with hostages, but that also seemed impossible.
The monster in front of her wouldn't fall for such tricks.
'That method won't work. I need to find something else.'
She still had some power left. Even if she used it all, she couldn't imagine a scenario where she could defeat Vahn.
Should she attain full divine status right now?
But losing the abilities granted by Dyfus was painful.
If she had retained those abilities in the first place, she wouldn't have been pushed this far even now.
[Even though you're his mother and enemy, Elder Brother Jin said you’re someone who can temporarily take care of the Family. But is this how you betray Elder Brother Jin's trust just to gain such futile power?]
[Futile? It seems you're spouting arrogant nonsense for barely surviving as a parasite of the younger after the destruction 5000 years ago. Do you think it's over already?]
The evil god's body, bound by the lightning energy, began to disperse like smoke.
[I admit I can't defeat you. However, if my predictions are correct, the younger summoned you in the form of some kind of spirit. It seems you won't last long...]
Duration, that was indeed the only weakness of the God of Battle Fusion.
[I must endure until that time ends. To do so, I have no choice but to elevate my divine status, even against all odds.]
Elevating divine status, approaching the Gods.
Although it was impossible to transcend as a complete god since she lost part of her abilities when Dyfus died, the evil god could elevate her divine status using Ram.
It was a risky gamble even for the evil god.
She could easily become a deformed being devoid of all ego, left only with a thirst for destruction.
In that state, even if she won the battle, nothing would remain.
The Family to protect, the land to rule, and the value of power obtained at such a high cost would all lose their meaning.
But there was no other choice.
At all times, the evil god had limited the options of Jin and the temporary alliance, but she now found herself in a forced situation.
Of course, Vahn saw through the evil god's thoughts.
[Enlightenment, such actions are more fitting for mortals.]
The lightning energy of the Reign of the King of Legends grew even fiercer.
The evil god's body, which was dispersing like smoke, began to evaporate at a rapid pace.
But the smoke continued to disappear, relentlessly heading towards Ram.
Across the entire surface of Ram, tinted in blue hues, black spots began to emerge one by one.
Each time, Vahn would hurl lightning at the spots, but they formed faster.
The spots indicated the fusion of the evil god and Ram.
Just as Jin had deployed the God of Battle Fusion, the evil god was also becoming one with Ram.
[Becoming one with something to amplify your power is not a blessing reserved only for you, younger one.]
Though she couldn't surpass Vahn, the evil god was still the evil god.
She had her own power. While fusing with Ram, she continuously attacked the allied fleet with the chaos she had left.
Even with the Reign of the King of Legends, the Guardian of the Brothers, and the protective barrier, they couldn't fully block the mental contamination spreading through the chaos.
Those infected by the chaos began emerging gradually, one by one.
Even Orgal's body was gradually turning black as he protected too many people.
"Don't worry about this side and fight!"
The allies didn't dare to shout like that.
If even the lightning energy grew stronger amid the overwhelming chaos, the entire allied formation could collapse.
That was also the basis for the evil god's hasty decision to fuse.
[The fact that she decided to fuse with the Witch's battleship simply means that the two things I need to destroy become one.]
However, Vahn amplified her energy without hesitation.
Though Vahn herself knew better than anyone that the allies could be overwhelmed, she increased her power for a reason.
Because she believed.
She had confidence that even if the next form of the Shadow Sword of the King of Legends was deployed, she would never let the allies die, and she was sure she could do it.
Reign of the King of Legends - Conclusion
The blue sea.
As soon as the final form of the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends began, unexpectedly, a blue sea unfolded on the ground.
It wasn't just a metaphor; the lightning energy simply swayed like gentle waves.
The protective barriers surrounding the area, the chaos that pierced through them, and the people under them remained completely intact.
The pulsating lightning energy, like water, did not exude the destructive power characteristic of the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends.
But everyone realized.
What kind of power the seemingly harmless lightning energy held, a power that could evaporate even the infinitely vast real ocean...
A power so immense without any explanation.
Vahn stood still in the middle of the waves of lightning energy.
The chaos that constantly clung to Ram's body was being gently absorbed in the midst of the waves.
No matter how much chaos was absorbed, the sea of lightning energy remained clear. It even shone with more intensity and clarity.
To the point that if you lowered your head, your face would be reflected in it.
Unknowingly, people were captivated by that light and involuntarily fixed their gaze on the sea of lightning energy.
The contrast between the ground and the empty sky was very stark.
Ram, lying in the empty sky, was dark as if it were going to swallow all the light existing in the world, while the sea of lightning energy covering the ground emitted a dazzling brilliance that momentarily made one forget that this place was a battlefield for the extinction of humanity.
The fusion of Ram and the evil god, and the "Conclusion" of the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends were almost completed simultaneously.
The evil god was reaching the final obstacle of the fusion.
As she tried to become a perfect god like Runcandel, her ego was being shaken and on the verge of annihilation.
On the other hand, Vahn was confident in victory.
Since the development of the "Conclusion," she had realized that Jin's voice, which had been resonating inside her, had disappeared.
"Elder Brother Jin."
There was no response.
No matter how many times she called, Jin didn't react at all.
Vahn!
Jin is disappearing...
Instead, she heard Lingling's voice.
Even that voice sounded infinitely distant and weak.
Vahn could instinctively feel that something was wrong.
Lingling's voice was weak because he was desperately clinging to Jin's ego, which had drifted deep into Vahn's inner world.
Lingling was using all his strength to prevent Jin's ego from disappearing completely.
The fusion was originally a technique that borrowed the power of the God of Battle.
However, at this moment, Jin had gone beyond that and essentially summoned the God of Battle through his own body.
Synchronization rhythm.
From the moment the fusion began until now, the synchronization rate had been steadily increasing without any apparent reason.
The cause was that synchronization reached its extreme, and unintentionally, Vahn took control of Jin's body, and not only that, she was also eroding his ego.
In an instant, this disturbed Vahn's heart.
If she continued with the 'Conclusion,' the evil god would undoubtedly be annihilated, but Jin would also disappear in the same way.
'You can't use more power, Vahn! This idiot won't be able to withstand it! No, he's already unable to withstand it, and I'm just barely holding on!'
Vahn closed her eyes.
Is it right to stop here?
Would Elder Brother Jin really want that?
Like a storm, the unstable flow of Vahn's inner world was reflected in the tumultuousness of the sea of lightning energy.
Soon, Vahn made a decision.
[Lingling, focus for now and try to read Elder Brother Jin's thoughts.]
What are you talking about?
[It means confirming what Elder Brother Jin wants. What is he saying?]
'How can I read that while he's being absorbed into your subconscious...!'
[You can do it. Because you're holding onto Elder Brother Jin. Hurry up!]
Without letting go of Jin, Lingling followed Vahn's words.
After a while, Lingling was able to read Jin's thoughts.
A very faint sense of Jin's thoughts began to be transmitted.
Even with more than 90% of his ego buried, Jin transmitted a clear determination.
'Continue... continue? Hey, you'll disappear without a trace! You'll disappear completely!'
Upon hearing those words, Vahn gripped the sword tightly.
Then, she stared intently at Ram, who had fused with the evil god, and said,
[If Elder Brother Jin said it, it means he can endure it. No matter how painful it is, he won't allow me to take a path that would kill my brother. I will follow Elder Brother Jin's will.]
