VII Returning to Nothing

Elijah sat on the cauldron, disregarding the chaotic flows of blood running through his body while he kept on howling in pain without stopping. At this point, the temperature had already been stabilized, and entered the deep meditation state, his blood calmed down and revolved in accordance with the specified circulation in his meridians.

The burning heat stimulated his body, giving birth to a peculiar dark-golden energy that appeared in his bones, muscles and blood. It was a kind of energy that directly fused with his body and refining it to a even higher stage.

In an instant, the blood pill in his body rose and boiled from the heat of the furnace, releasing even more dark-golden energy. Elijah experienced endless pain, and the idea of giving up had appeared many times in his mind. But whenever he thought of Chloe and how weak his background was compared to hers, determination arose in his heart, making him persist on enduring.

After that, Elijah plunged into the ice lake where he felt it could be considered even worse than when he was in the cauldron. That's because the lake sent a icy cold energy directly into his soul that has condensed into the silver-white tower and the icy pain he felt from the soul was much worse that the burning on his body.

And lastly, when he entered the capsule, several silver needles were inserted around his entire body, accelerating the circulation of elemental energy through his body. In relation to what he felt, this was the best. Not only did he not feel any pain as he was feeling very comfortable the entire time.

Every day, Elijah repeated this routine while his body, soul and energy were becoming more and more pure.

...

While Elijah was cultivating a great battle was happening on the other side of the universe. Thousands of winged Valkyries could be seen facing dozens of blue-eyed wolves as explosions never once stopped.

The battlefield was filled with bodies of wolves who fell before several great figures, an one-eyed old man dressed in golden robes together with eight people behind him. Far away, a massive scarlet wolf of the Primordial Era was charging forward. It soon reached lake, and its every step caused the entire battlefield to tremble and ripple, arousing massive, mighty earthquakes.

The nine Gods standing on the other side of the battle field were able to clearly see this scene clearly.

"It's Skoll, Fenrir's son! He is trying to gain time for his brother break Fenrir's chains." Seeing massive scarlet wolf giant Odin, murmured to himself.

"It seems the Aesir clan will not be able to delay the ragnarök anymore." Zeus true body, seated on his throne in Olympus, frowned.

Every time Odin attacked with his spear, Gungnir, millions of divine energy threads would follow its path, cutting down numerous cracks in space itself as dozens of wolves were ripped to pieces by this majestic force. In a matter of seconds, it reached Skoll.

Skoll couldn't help but slightly stagger after receiving a blow from Gungnir, but then it suddenly twisted about and used its massive, tail to lash out lightning-fast towards Tyr piercing his chest as his body was thrown away.

Then a figure in silver armor appeared by his side and cast countless green flames burning with an endless aura life that cured Tyr's body, but seeing an opportunity hundreds of wolves advanced towards the armored figure. a particles of divine energy flowed out the spatial cracks and gathered in the form of a sword. With a single move, every one of these wolves were cut buy invisible energy or burn to nothing by the green flame.

"Thanks Eir." Tyr thanked the figure and ran towards another group of wolves with sword in hand.

Odin and Skoll exchanged multiple attacks, the battle between them extraordinarily savage and violent. After a long battle, they finally managed to kill every small wolf in the battlefield with only Skoll remaining.

But the losses this time were too great. They had lost more that half of the Valkyries and Try, the God of law and justice was killed by one of Skoll attacks.

"At least it could not be any worse, right?" Just as Heimdall said this. An enormous spatial gate opened and Loki, followed by an army of giants, that could be seen surrounding them. Then a figure, taller than all the giants walked towards Loki.

At this moment all the gods knew it was over, they were all tired after the war with the wolves and there was no way they could fight the army of giants now.

"Loki, who you want me to erase?" Asked the figure.

Loki looked at the side and said with a smile. "Just erase them all if possible."

Listening to Loki, the figure raised his hand where a strange and tremendously powerful power gathered in his hand and fired toward them.

"Heimdall take everyone to Vanaheim, we'll need the help of the Vanir clan, now!" When saying this, Chloe and the Valkyries formed a shield with their bodies. The moment the energy reached them, she saw the image of a youth on the back of her mind. If she could say she had a regret it was the little time she had by Elijah's side.

"BOOM!" Explosions could be heard as Chloe felt her entire being erased. It was different when she died as she would reincarnate a few moments later. In seconds her entire body was destructed and now even her Divine Soul was being slowly erased by this power.

The moment this power disappeared, there was no Chloe, no Valkyries, no Gods. They had all returned to nothing.
