Multiverse Gacha

[251] Grand Cross

Xenovia and Irina were completely stunned.

The God of the Bible, their Lord and Savior, was dead? How could this be possible? If the Lord had died, then who were they currently worshipping?

"Kokabiel, are you out of your mind? You've already recognized that I am from the House of Demon. How could I be the deceased God of the Bible?"

"Hmm? You know about the death of the God of the Bible?"

August's words took Kokabiel by surprise. Among the three factions, the death of God had become a taboo subject.

Especially in Heaven and the Church, any information that could shake the faith of believers was immediately suppressed. Those who spread such news were exiled or even killed.

Not to mention, if the news about the death of the Lord were to be revealed, everyone in Heaven would hunt them down.

"Kokabiel, you're a fool and you don't even realize it. Anyone in a high position knows the truth."

"You mother-"

Kokabiel wanted to retort harshly, but considering August's mysterious abilities, he restrained himself.

Their conversation had a devastating impact on the faith of three individuals present.

First were the Holy Sword wielders, Xenovia and Irina, who devotedly believed in the Lord. Upon learning this truth, they were mentally shattered.

Then there was Asia, who had come with August. Upon hearing the news, she too suffered a severe mental blow.

Sona quickly caught Asia, who was about to collapse. Seeing her vacant eyes and puppet-like demeanor, Sona felt a deep ache in her heart... Asia was just a child.

"Hmph, during the Great War, God died, and so did the Four Satans. With the leaders of the angels and devils gone, if we had pushed a bit harder, the Fallen Angels could have won. But Azazel stopped the war."

"That's because you're nothing but a war maniac, while Azazel is the Governor of the Fallen Angels."

"Don't speak to me in that tone. I am the one who is right. Azazel is a cowardly failure. He has no right to lead the Fallen Angels. I should be the leader."

"The reason is simple: you're too weak. Azazel is Satan-Class, and you're merely Ultimate-Class."

"Satan-Class or not, I don't care."

Boom!

Powerful magical energy began to surge as Kokabiel formed two colossal lances of light in his hands.

Kokabiel continued to pour magical energy into them, nearing a state of madness.

For so many years, he had been suppressed by Azazel. Now, just as he was about to succeed, this brat who appeared out of nowhere, also from the House of Demon, was suppressing him as well.

This filled him with immense rage. In fact, in his frenzy, Kokabiel began to see Azazel's image overlapping with August's.

"Stop deluding yourself. I am right. Azazel is nothing but a coward and a weakling."

As he spoke, countless spears of light shot down like a rain of arrows.

Seeing this, August smiled. The treasures behind him sprang into action, each transforming into beams of golden light that met the descending spears head-on.

The sky was filled with a dazzling clash of light and gold, painting the surroundings in a majestic glow.

It was a sight to behold, but unfortunately, no one could appreciate it at this moment.

After a brief standoff, Kokabiel began to fall into a disadvantage. The treasures were far more powerful and resilient than the spears formed from magical energy.

Soon, Kokabiel's spears were completely shattered, and numerous treasures shot towards him.

Boom!

Kokabiel, not one to wait for death, spread his wings and swiftly moved out of the range of August's treasures.

August smiled faintly and, with a thought, ceased the barrage. The treasures scattered around the area dissipated into golden dust and vanished.

"Kokabiel, I haven't even tried yet, and you're already struggling. Pathetic."

"You mother fucking demon brat, I'll kill you."

"Anyone can talk tough, but it doesn't matter. If you want to kill me, show some real power."

"Die! Ultimate Spear!"

Kokabiel hurled two colossal spears of light, tearing through the air and igniting the very magic around them.

"Foolish. Let me test my new technique on you. Perish in the midst of destruction. Grand Cross!"

August spread his hands, and a cosmic space materialized before him. In this space, nine planets and one star aligned to form a cross, unleashing an apocalyptic force of magic.

In mid-air, the two colossal spears of light collided with the planets forming the Grand Cross and disintegrated instantly.

The difference in their power levels was overwhelmingly clear.

"How is this possible...?"

In the final moment, the energies of the planet and the star converged within inches of each other.

Boom~

Ten superheated spheres of light simultaneously unleashed catastrophic events, purging the world in an instant. The entire sky was dyed a deep crimson from the explosion, and violent magic swept across the land.

Everyone stood in stunned silence, their eyes wide and mouths agape. Could it be that Kokabiel, the ultimate-class fallen angel and one of the fallen angels' leaders, was truly defeated?

August immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy and magical energy integrating into his body, deepening the abyss of darkness within him.

This was the dominion of a Demon Lord; thus, anyone slain by the Demon Lord, whether their flesh or soul, became his nourishment.

A seasoned, ultimate-class fallen angel like Kokabiel was but a mere appetizer for August, who felt immensely satisfied.

Witnessing the downfall of the orchestrator of this chaos left everyone in utter shock.

Especially Xenovia and Irina, who were already reeling from the revelation of the Lord's death. Now, they witnessed this scene as well.

An enemy they couldn't even touch, despite their desperate efforts, had been effortlessly obliterated by August.

However, August felt no particular sense of accomplishment from killing Kokabiel. A being without any trump cards or real power stood no chance against him, a figure brimming with overwhelming strength and countless advantages. It was inevitable.

Boom~

"Finally, it's done! Hahaha, I did it!"

Just when everyone thought it was over, an immense and terrifying wave of magical energy exploded nearby, spreading like a torrent.
