Chapter 406 Opened Death Book(Chapter Preview)
"What the fuck just happened?" Space asked the moment the dog vanished in front of them.
All of them had been frozen in their place moments before the dog growl was heard.
It was the first time all five of the deities had experienced a shred of fear just because of someone's growl.
However, one thing had become clear the moment they had stared at the red-eye.
The dog didn't belong to their universe or in other terms, it had not been born inside their universe.
"Where did that creature come from?" Death muttered as he, Time, and Kai turned to stare at Kosma and Space who were supposed to know these things.
But the two deities had no idea either. They had felt the presence of such a creature for the first time in their entire life.
If they had to guess, even the darkness wouldn't be able to comprehend such a creature.
"So we have an hour before the Darkness somehow manages to destroy the world? I wonder how he will do that now that his souls have been taken." Kai muttered as End chose this moment to make her appearance.
In her hands were three Death Books that she passed to Azrael, Space and Time. All three of the death books were gray in color with golden-colored patterns on top of them.
End then gave them a hard look before turning and moving towards a room on the inside.
The five of them quietly followed her inside wondering what she wanted to show and why Kai and Kosma didn't receive their books.
End suddenly stopped in front of an open door and pointed inside. The five deities reached near the door and peeked inside.
Lying on the ground were five books that were lying wide open.
"Kai, Kosma, Fate, Destiny, and Beginning. Those are the five names written on the books." End spoke in a monotone voice as all of them realized why Kai and Kosma had not received their books.
It was because theirs were lying open in front of them.
'As expected.' However, Kai was not feeling doom. He instead smiled and picked up a book from the pile.
End had shown him that his book had been special on their second meeting. He had been curious to see how he would die and now, the answer to it was in front of him.
"The dog said that in an hour, the world would get destroyed. But the time here passes differently. We have five minutes remaining." Kai suddenly spoke in a clear voice as he bent down and read the contents of the four other books.
He then waved his hand over a particular book and in front of their eyes, the death book started closing.
"How did you…" End began asking but her eyes widened when she saw the three other death books closing too.
Before that, no one could have thought a death book could be closed once it had been opened but Kai showed that it was possible.
But despite that, his own death book was still lying open.
"You are not going to close that?" Time asked while staring at the open book in his hands. She was ready to lunge on the book and close it herself but she decided to not do it.
"I am just wondering how people speak their end words." He replied with a small smile and before anyone could react, he vanished from his place.
Silence…
Utter silence filled the place as they looked at the death book lying on the ground.
"Dies while..." End read the contents of the book in a shaking voice. In front of them, a golden horn suddenly started to emerge from her forehead.
"Oh, shit…" Death immediately moved ahead and hugged the creator of end.
"You know that Kai likes to be climatic. I am sure that he will turn things the other way soon." Azrael whispered as the horn slowly started getting smaller before vanishing.
"Yes, you are right. Many things he did on his journey were like this." End replied while taking deep breaths while Death glanced at Time, Space, and Kosma.
All of them knew how reckless Kai was but now that he had powers on their levels, things were going to be even more complicated.
''You do have a plan, right Kai?'' All of them wondered the same thing before Kosma used her powers to search for Kai in the universe.
"He is in a... special realm."
***
"Ha… I wish that I could come here again." Kai was currently alone in the special realm he and Ayaka used to live in.
The nostalgia that the place gave him was still fresh however, he couldn't enjoy it for a long time.
"So you are here huh. I could have never thought that you would have crafted such a plan." The Darkness appeared in front of Kai with a smile as the golden-haired man smiled back.
"I had realized it the moment Space had asked me to use the harem wish. Unknown to me, being able to use the curse a second time, especially on Kosma is something that normally would have never entered my mind."
"Well, thank my brain then." The darkness said as he extended his right hand towards Kai and the latter shook it.
"This alliance managed to remain hidden for so long and we finally got what we wanted." The darkness then looked at the shackles in Kai's hands as he could feel the power of every single deity in it.
He couldn't wait to get his hands on it and use it to finally achieve his goal.
"Then it's time for us to use our powers and seal Time, Space, Death, End, Fate, Destiny, Beginning and the world," Kai said as the Darkness raised his hands towards the shackles and three beams shot out of his fingers.
The beams of light entered the shackles and made it vibrate as it rose in the air between the duo.
""To our victory."" The duo said at the same time before they released their powers and broke the special realm.
