The Grand Duke's Son Is A Heretic

Chapter 531

The metallic puppets trembled in unison, and strange mechanical noises echoed across the sky.

CLANK... CREAK... WHRRRR...

Gears rotated inside their bodies while plates shifted and locked into place. Their chests opened one after another, revealing rotating cores glowing with blue and crimson energy. Long mechanical barrels extended outward, and countless missile chambers unfolded like blooming iron flowers.

Then—

Thousands of missiles launched at once.

Flames burst from their backs as the projectiles screamed through the sky toward the descending Angels. Trails of fire crossed the heavens, turning the battlefield into a burning web of destruction.

BOOOOOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions swallowed entire sections of the sky. Angel formations shattered as shockwaves rolled endlessly. Light barriers broke apart while fragments of divine wings scattered like falling feathers.

The heavens shook violently.

Kael watched the chaos unfold and threw his head back, laughing wildly.

"You all didn’t expect that, right?"

He spread his arms slightly as a crimson aura rolled around him.

"How is it?"

"It’s not only you who has the numbers."

His eyes lifted toward the distant divine presence pressing down from beyond reality.

"With such urgent measures, you still can’t descend into the body of your cub?"

The moment his voice faded, the world changed.

A terrifying intent descended.

The sun dimmed. The moon flickered. Space trembled as if existence itself struggled to remain intact. Mountains far below cracked while oceans churned violently.

SWIISSH!

Lightning rained down from one side of the heavens while radiant divine light gathered from another direction and rushed toward Kael like judgment itself.

Nina stepped forward instantly, flames rising around her body, but Kael gently grabbed her hand and stopped her. He turned back with a playful smile that carried dangerous confidence.

"Let me have some fun, dear."

Nina looked at him for a moment before smiling softly. Asana gave a small nod, her icy aura calming slightly.

"Be careful."

Kael laughed lightly.

Then he stepped forward.

The next instant his figure shot upward.

With a single leap he crossed thousands of kilometers, tearing through layers of atmosphere and entering the dark void of the sky itself where divine attacks gathered.

He drew his sword slowly.

Space bent around the blade.

"Dimensional Slash. Fourth Form."

BOOOOOOOOM!

Reality split.

A massive line stretched across the heavens, cutting through clouds, lightning, and divine radiance. The incoming attacks shattered instantly as if erased from existence. The slash continued endlessly, dividing the sky itself.

For one brief moment, the stars seemed cut apart.

It was not the stars that were severed.

It was the light reaching them.

Even starlight broke in the middle before reconnecting again.

But the Gods answered immediately.

The Goddess of Light moved first.

Radiance condensed into countless mirrors surrounding Kael from every direction. Each reflection showed a different version of him, past, future, wounded, dead, victorious. Every mirror released beams capable of purifying existence itself.

Kael vanished between dimensions, slipping sideways through reality.

The beams passed through empty space.

Then the Goddess of Creation intervened.

Space twisted unnaturally.

Geometry collapsed and diistance lost meaning. Up became down while time folded into repeating loops. Entire fragments of unfinished worlds appeared around Kael, half-created mountains and oceans forming suddenly before crushing inward.

Eldritch creation laws rewrote the battlefield.

Kael suddenly found himself trapped inside overlapping layers of reality where every movement created another version of himself moving differently.

"Annoying..." he muttered.

He cut forward, but the space regenerated instantly, rewriting itself again.

Then came the Goddess of Destruction.

Dark fractures spread silently across existence. Wherever those cracks touched, matter simply ceased to exist. Entire dimensional layers collapsed toward Kael, attempting to erase his existence across all timelines at once.

Kael phased again, shifting through dimensional planes to escape annihilation.

But Goddess of Creation twisted space again.

His escape path folded back onto itself.

For the first time, he was forced into a corner.

A massive vine formed from condensed star clusters suddenly shot toward him. Each branch carried collapsing galaxies spinning within it, binding space and fate together.

Before it could reach him—

Flames erupted.

The stellar vine burned instantly, turning into drifting ash before touching him.

Far below, Nina’s flames flickered proudly.

Kael smirked.

"Heh... thanks."

Lightning followed next as frozen storms shattered remaining divine pressure, Asana silently stabilizing the collapsing dimensions around him.

Still surrounded by impossible divine abilities, Kael’s grin widened.

"Hahahaha!"

Kael’s laughter echoed across the shattered heavens while crimson energy still surged around his body. His eyes burned with madness and amusement as he looked toward the divine presence pressing down from beyond the sky.

"Even after countless years, bitches are still bitches."

"Still tagging together to beat me."

He tilted his head slightly and grinned wider, clearly enjoying their anger.

"If it’s a one-on-one showdown, you might be fucked to death... Hahaha!"

A furious divine voice immediately answered.

"Insolent!"

Another cold voice followed, filled with restrained rage.

"Let’s shut his vulgar mouth first."

Divine pressure gathered again. Light, storm, and destruction laws began converging once more, preparing another overwhelming strike meant to erase him completely.

Kael opened his mouth as if to continue mocking them, but before his words could leave his lips, a calm yet sharp voice suddenly echoed through existence.

"I think we have provoked them enough. Let’s stop this."

The next instant—

Darkness descended.

It did not spread like nightfall. Instead, it swallowed the world whole. Light vanished instantly as a deep black veil covered heaven and earth.

"ELARISSSS!"

The roar that followed shook every layer of reality.

"It’s the Concealment Domain!"

"That woman again...!"

Countless angry divine voices echoed together, filled with frustration and fury.

Among all gods, Elaris was not feared for combat strength, but when it came to concealment and hiding existence itself, none could compare to her. Anything hidden within her domain could not be traced, calculated, or perceived even by divine sight.

If Kael had not revealed himself earlier by erupting his aura, even the Gods would never have located him.

The Concealment Domain expanded rapidly, covering space, time, and causality itself. Divine wills descended violently, trying to pierce through it, but a massive black force surged outward and blocked everything.

Reality folded inward.

Vision disappeared.

The sound faded.

One by one, Kael, Nina, Asana, Ruth, Ramos, and everyone below vanished from existence as if erased from the battlefield.

The heavens trembled in rage.

"LEONARDDDD!"

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"

"NEXT TIME WE MEET WILL BE YOUR END!"

BOOOOOOM!

Their furious voices echoed into empty space while the battlefield fell completely silent, leaving nothing behind but fading divine anger.
