Chapter 17

I teleported to the castle, it was obviously not an ordinary castle. It was an artifact that I used to fight powerful enemies.

It is a flying fortress that is comparable to the Ancient Gods, although I can fight them without it, but it is less effective and easier for myself.

Currently, the fortress hovers over the center of the former Immortal continent, now there is nothing there but emptiness and black abyss. It was destroyed by the plans of the Ancient God of Destruction and the main cause of this apocalypse.

This place has the highest mana volume in the main area and its quality is also much higher than elsewhere.

Thanks to the arrays located around and in the center of the fortress, they are able to collect and store huge amounts of mana to be able to use it in the best possible way.

There are two people with me now, Dumba and Tepez, they are here for two reasons, one is to help with the ritual and the other is to participate in it.

After all, they were born around my time and there is no way to meet them in the past, so I will go back with them.

Eventually we chose to go back to the early days of the Ancients at their end, to somewhere around the time of the first Tepez reincarnation.

The rest of my friends are currently at the site of the last battle to prepare the necessary tablets without which the ritual would not be possible.

We ourselves have already established the ritual and all the necessary elements. In addition to the huge amount of items that we had to obtain for the distinction, there were items such as the Branch from the Tree of Rights, the leaf of time and the fruit of time, and many other Spiritual Treasures related to time.

Most of all things that we had to prepare is the essence of each kingdom, that is, the source of the power of beings from the level of an ordinary person to God Absolute.

The most difficult thing is not to get the essence of the Absolute God, because in the case of the Absolute God, a small piece of his essence is enough.

We obtained it from the Absolute God of Chaos, who, for our surprise, gave us his essence voluntarily.

We got the rest in the easiest way possible, we just killed and robbed the essences for the rest.

Actually, if not for the help of the Chaos Absolute God, I doubt we would be able to complete our plan because we wouldn't have had a chance to win with God Absolute, who is the existential pinnacle of every being.

The essence of the Ancient God turned out to be the most difficult to obtain, because there are no survivors, because the cataclysm will not only destroy the continents, but also decimate the gods, leaving almost none of them alive, except for a few exceptions.

As for the Ancient Gods, not one of them is left. This is why getting an essence from one of them is almost impossible.

Fortunately, almost, not completely, it is enough to bring one of them back to life.

Of all that we would be able to restore, the one that is the simplest is the Ancient God of Destruction.

When it comes to bringing him back it's relatively easy, just wreak havoc, and he'll naturally come back.

We have now destroyed dozens of existential plans, causing massive destruction that would already be able to restore the Ancient God of Destruction.

Unfortunately, it took some time to come back naturally, so we set up a suitable altar to be able to summon it much faster.

Every Ancient God is extremely dangerous, and any hesitation could lead to failure. Why am I so sure that I can defeat the Ancient God of Destruction.

The answer is trivial, simply because I have defeated him so many times that I got bored by fighting him further, he was not my opponent on any level, and even in the strongest form he managed to regain, allowing him to get 40% of his peak power was dominated on every move by me.

Although I never underestimated him and I fought every fight fully focused, I noticed that his skills are rather mediocre.

Obviously mediocre compared to other experts of a similar or even lower level. He bases his fight mainly on his destruction attribute, which, although at the beginning it made the fight very complicated, with time it became so predictable that I could fight him without a single sense and still win without the slightest damage.

And it's not that I haven't defeated him anymore without using a single sense.

Sometimes, when I was tired, I was able to amuse myself for millions of years in all sorts of ways, including elaborately defeating the Ancient God of Destruction.

After the altar was set up, we followed the steps and began the call. It lasted very briefly, only a few minutes.

By comparison, the summons of other beings can often last for a very long time, sometimes years or even centuries, and there are known cases that the challenge has lasted continuously for thousands of years.

- "Mortals! How dare you challenge God, you do not know your place! I will crush you so that nothing remains of even dust, such is the price of the insult of the great me" in the distance one could hear an arrogant roar spreading over the entire horizon. The space itself was shaking from the very waves the sound carried.

- "Well, I'd like to play with you a little longer, unfortunately this time we don't have enough time to play, sorry." John said, sounding like he was really apologizing.

- "Eee? What nonsense are you talking about, you probably don't know your place, how dare you even look at me, let alone speak to me in that tone! " Said the Ancient God of Destruction, surprised at first, but later turned into unbridled anger.

Most of the Gods were extremely arrogant, and if you fail to reach the Ancient level, you will often even be able to talk to the Higher God and even the Middle God.

Often, contact with a god can be dangerous if you don't have enough power.

Almost every person in the Mortal Realm, if he looks directly at God, will die almost immediately, and even if he survives, he will suffer a powerful punishment that will kill him over time.

"Like I said fun's over, now you have to go all the way, so I advise you to go all the way because you won't know when you will lose. Dumba, Tepez here we go! Hehe ." Said John and a powerful aura flew out of his body, which for a moment suppressed the Ancient God of Destruction and without further courtesy they attacked with full power and God himself became serious as well.

...

The fight had begun, in a place far away from countless lands, the rest of John's friends waited for the battle to begin.

"They have already started to fight, they should start with us too," Emma said to which the rest just nodded.

After less than 2 hours, numerous groups lined up on both sides. One was all the united races, be they humans, monsters or other creatures, they were all here.

The weakest of them were on the Mythic level, and they were the least numerous of all present here.

In front of them was a great group of Seraphim, ready to destroy whatever they encountered in their path. At the beginning there was silence and each side was slowly approaching more and more.

The battlefield was huge and after a while the slow steps turned into a run, many figures began to levitate in the air, preparing many spells that were to be released at any moment.

As the two sides were about to rush at each other, and their collision seemed inevitable, a large circle appeared in the sky, which surprised the Seraphim, but surprised the Alliance even more.

"Is this not the formation that the apostles proposed, the one that is supposed to be the last resort, what she is doing here before we begin?" Such voices fell among the crowd.

The Apostles began to be asked what this meant, the Apostles were a gathering of twelve people to save the world. Then the dramatic words were spoken.

"We have been betrayed," answered a voice that was well known to all, it came from the first Apostle, after these words panic and questions began.

"Who betrayed us? Why? How dare he?" These kinds of comments were made all over the battlefield.

Then you could hear a voice in the distance. He was powerful in interrupting any discussion and attracting everyone's attention, even the Seraphim.

"No one has betrayed you, our goal is the same as yours, which is to save the world from destruction, only we have chosen a different way to do it and it at least has a chance to succeed, and not like yours, which is doomed!" Yegger said in a loud voice.
