Hoooong...!

As if it were a lie, the sea of lightning bolts that covered the ground disappeared all at once. Only the protective shield-shaped lightning bolt that enveloped Jin, who had fallen on the ground, remained.

'...As expected, an excessively high synchronization rate was the problem.'

Jin stood up and assessed his body.

It felt heavy, as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders.

In a short period of time, he had used a power several times stronger than what he possessed, so it was inevitable that there would be repercussions.

'I'm not incapable of fighting. Moreover, the damage on the evil god's side is much greater.'

When he lifted his head, he saw Ram in a devastating state, so broken that its form was barely recognizable.

In front of him was the decaying body of the evil god.

Twisted and shattered horns and a decaying flesh that seemed to be melting indicated a battle that went beyond just drawing blood.

Before Jin could take any further action, the evil god's body completely disappeared and scattered somewhere.

"What just happened?"

"Ha... is it over?"

"The mental attacks through chaos have ceased."

Trembling voices could be heard throughout the allied formation.

Everyone was desperately hoping that this terrible fight had finally come to an end.

However, Orgal narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

He and Jin were the first to notice that the chaos was condensing once again.

[It seems the evil god has undergone some kind of enlightenment.]

"Enlightenment?"

Orgal nodded at Veradin's question.

[Yes. Achieving growth by transcending the boundaries of life and death is not a blessing granted only to mortals. If my speculation is correct, the evil god has obtained an even higher divine power just now. As a reward for defying the Plutonian tribe's battle god... ]

"...So that means it has become even stronger than before?"

[In absolute terms, yes, you could say that. Given enough time to recover, the evil god will undoubtedly be stronger. The chaos that the battle god eliminated is too vast now. I can guess why the battle god suddenly stopped, but if she had just three more minutes, the evil god wouldn't have undergone this enlightenment.]

"Three minutes... It's a shame," Veradin said, engulfed in a tremendous sense of disappointment alongside regret.

Even though the combined might of humanity's strongest forces had staked their lives, they had failed to achieve what the battle god nearly accomplished in less than 30 minutes.

Veradin resumed commanding. While Vahn pressed the evil god, fortunately, the fleet had not suffered significant damage.

Jin's companions on the ground were running toward him.

"Jin!"

"Jin, are you okay?"

"The youngest!"

[12th Flagbearer!]

As Jin turned to face them, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his back and quickly raised his sword.

Swoosh!

A sharp blade narrowly grazed Jin's cheek.

Then, hundreds of sword strikes rained down upon Jin and his companions.

It was the evil god's sword attacks.

Jin's companions tried to step forward and unleash their sword techniques, but Jin first erected a protective shield to prevent them from doing so.

"The chaos has grown even denser. Please retreat as you will be exposed to chaos."

[The youngest, you've driven this evil god to the brink of extinction.]

Once again, the gloomy voice of the evil god echoed.

As if the melted body from before was a fake, the evil god now floated in the air in a renewed form.

[It was truly dangerous... However, fate once again did not allow anything to interfere between you and me. The battle god was undoubtedly stronger than me, but in the end, it couldn't deliver the finishing blow.]

Kwaaah!

The fleet unleashed a barrage of bombardment towards the evil god.

It appeared as though countless projectiles hit the evil god head-on, but the explosions merely momentarily obscured the evil god, which soon absorbed them into its unfurled black curtain and vanished.

The evil god looked down at Jin and smirked.

[Now, I think I understand your feelings a little more. The sense of fate aiding you seems to be something like this.]

"At this point, aren't you tired of spouting such nonsense?"

[Don't get your hopes up. However, since the situation has changed, the stage must also be rearranged.]

From the moment the evil god finished speaking.

Jin and his allies felt vibrations emanating from beneath their feet.

The ground trembled as if it were about to collapse.

Thud, rumble...!

The result of the vibrations was not the collapse of the ground.

Like the roots of a tree being uprooted, the entire ground began to surge upward.

The surging ground swiftly soared toward the fragments of Ram suspended in the air, like a pinpoint.

"Disperse the fleet and engage in evasive maneuvers! Avoid colliding with the fragments of Ram!"

The fleet adjusted its altitude to match the surging speed of the ground and scattered, while the ground forces frantically ran to avoid the fragments of Ram.

It took less than 10 seconds for the ground and the fragments of Ram to merge.

During the process, there were no casualties among the ground forces, but around twenty battleships and dozens of dragons were crushed by the fragments.

5 kilometers.

The emerged area of the ground precisely matched the battlefield of Ram.

The ground moved like flowing water, filling the ruptures of the shattered Ram.

Ram was reassembling. Allies, once again shocked, had to find gaps in the ruptures or widen them further to ascend to the upper part of Ram.

Jin tirelessly swung his Shadow sword. The illuminating couldn't generate the proper lightning energy under the strain of overload.

One by one, the allies took their positions on the upper part of Ram.

Whenever a part of Ram ruptured like a tumor, allied battleships, dragons, and ground forces emerged.

Metaphorically speaking, the allies ascended to the sky and the upper regions of Ram along with the ground.

The first things that entered their sight were the sky tinged with a sickly red and the clouds.

In the midst of it all, the evil god stood, waiting for Jin to arrive.

The form of Ram, now merged with the ground and repaired, was not as stable as before.

It was filled with patches and cracks, like a makeshift garment, and the main cannons seemed to be malfunctioning.

However, the terrifying battleship that stretched for approximately 5km was enough to unsettle the temporary alliance.

As Orgal had said, given enough time, Ram would regain its complete form, surpassing its previous state.

The opportunity still existed, and now was the final chance.

If they couldn't eliminate the evil god today, the temporary alliance and humanity would undoubtedly disappear next time.

[What will you do now, youngest? You may want to escape and call for the battle god again... but I won't allow that.]

The maelstrom of chaos was once again raging at the edges of Ram.

It was impossible for the fleet to break through it, and even Orgal's dimensional portals didn't function properly.

"I've never considered running away. I came here today to put an end to this..."

Shadow force release.

The Shadow force spread from Jin like spiderwebs.

In an instant, Shadow force cast a dense shadow over the entire area where Jin and the evil god stood.

At the same time, the fleet's observing mages confirmed that chaos forces were pouring out from the chaos curtains that formed like a wall around Ram in all directions.

"The northern wall, an army of approximately ten thousand confirmed! Composed of Chaos Dragons, Black Ships, and knights!"

"Lightning energy?!"

"The former ten great knight, Padler Runcandel! Behind him is a large army, including Black Knights!"

[So, that's why I couldn't see you. It's finally time for you to go to hell, Padler!]

"The knight who just attacked the 2nd fleet is undoubtedly a superhuman, and the remaining former patriarchs!"

From all directions, new chaos forces were converging at every wall.

There was Padler Runcandel, the Blue Thunder King, and the remaining four former patriarchs.

Jin couldn't hear the voices of his allies. Not only was the distance too great, but the mixture of Shadow force and chaos energy between Jin and the evil god blocked the sound.

However, Jin sensed the emergence of new forces through his senses.

"Did you have more hidden forces, evil god?"

[It's quite satisfying to know that I have to use all my cards against you. Furthermore, I had to go on an adventure to obtain a higher divine rank... Ugh!]

As the evil god was about to say more, she suddenly bent backward and covered her mouth. A black mass poured out between her fingers, and the evil god's eyes widened.

"Satisfying? It would be inconvenient if you were still so confident after receiving the wrath of the sister battle god. It seems you didn't know your own condition well, intoxicated by your rapid growth."

After the fusion of battle god, Jin received all the memories he had accumulated during his battles with the evil god.

'Conclusion,' the sword that tears through the opponent's soul.

Even if she achieved enlightenment, there were still deep wounds caused by the Conclusion in the evil god's body and soul. An unseen lightning energy was writhing within the evil god.

"And you are not the only one who has the remaining reinforcements."

Jin expanded his Shadow Force release even deeper.

-Just tell Jin to unleash his Shadow Force to the fullest. At the most critical moment. Then that guy will instantly manifest.

A message Misha had sent to Jin through Syris and Mort before the decisive battle began.

[Ahhh!]

The evil god roared and charged at Jin.

Without avoiding the frenzy that would pierce through his eyes, Jin calmly embraced the attack.

Before the frenzy could reach him.

Shadow force condensed in front of Jin, forming a single shadow.

Unruly long hair that reached the waist, fierce pupils shining with a thin glint, and a deeply resonating, low voice.

"Long time no see, kid."

It was the humanoid form of Murakan.

As soon as he manifested, he demonstrated an incredible strength by grabbing the evil god's blade barehanded and stopping it.

"In a situation like this, it feels like your catchphrase is always the same."

"It sounds good, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess."

[Murakan...!]

The evil god glared at Jin and Murakan with a face distorted by anger.

[Well, I expected you to show up. The guardian deity of old days. Last time, you managed to escape, but today, will you fight properly?]

In response to his words, Murakan wanted to respond with a cool and stylish answer but ended up making a rather awkward noise.

"Aww!"

It was because the chaos energy that spread from the blade of frenzy was infiltrating through his hand.

Murakan was startled like someone who had touched fire and took a step back. Even the evil god was momentarily taken aback by the scene. Jin instinctively touched his forehead.

"Well, I temporarily forgot that the evil god is the source of chaos energy. Kid, no one saw that just now, right?"

Jin shrugged his shoulders, but as soon as he saw Murakan acting like a fool, he felt a sense of relief deep inside.

It meant that if Murakan was not serious, then the opponent wasn't as threatening as to be unbearable.
