Chapter 549 549: 549
Kael sat upon the throne, completely still.
His eyes were closed, and he did not move even slightly as endless streams of faith and belief flowed into him.
The concepts around him continued to settle and merge slowly, as if they were becoming part of his very existence. The crimson lines across his body pulsed faintly, glowing and dimming in a steady rhythm. Beneath him, the throne felt alive. It rose and fell like it was breathing along with him.
The entire dimension trembled under his presence, yet it did not collapse. It remained stable, as if it was forcefully being held together by his will.
Then a sharp sound broke the silence.
CRACK.
It echoed across the sky, unnatural and unsettling. It did not sound like something physical breaking. It felt like reality itself was being torn apart from the outside.
Another crack followed.
Then another.
The shimmering sky above suddenly split open, and a massive fracture spread across it like a wound being forced apart.
Christina's expression changed instantly. The calmness in her eyes disappeared, and her gaze turned cold and serious.
Nina's flames stopped flickering.
Asana's frost grew sharper and more intense.
Steampunk slowly reached into his coat and took out a pocket watch. The ticking sound echoed faintly in the distorted space. He glanced at it once, his expression steady, and then snapped it shut.
"Guys… it seems our guests are here," he said calmly, his voice low but clear. "It's time to welcome them."
"Insolent!"
The word crashed down like thunder.
At the same time, a similar roar came from beyond the crack.
BOOOOOOOM!
A massive blade of light descended from above. It cut across the fractured sky and tore it open completely. The entire dimension shook violently as the attack forced its way inside.
From that tear, a figure stepped out.
Bluish hair.
Cold, sharp eyes.
It was none other than Eric.
Beside him stood a woman dressed in white. Her presence felt calm but sacred.
Edwina.
Behind them, an army followed.
Countless angels poured through the torn sky like a flood of light. Their wings spread wide, filling the sky as their glowing forms carried overwhelming divine power. The pressure they released was suffocating, and it pressed down heavily on the entire dimension.
The worshipers below trembled, but none of them dared to move.
Nina stepped forward slowly. A faint smile appeared on her face, and her eyes held a trace of mockery.
"So they are going to use your body again instead of descending…" she said calmly, tilting her head slightly.
"It seems the memories of getting beaten are still haunting."
The past seemed to linger in the air.
The clash between Leonard and the Gods had not been a single battle. It had gone on for years. At first, the Gods had descended themselves, believing they could overpower him with authority.
But that had been their mistake.
Leonard had not only fought them. He had devoured them.
In every clash, he absorbed fragments of their divinity, and with each battle, he grew stronger.In the end, they were forced to change their approach.
They stopped descending personally.
Instead, they began using human vessels. It reduced the risk and limited how much of their divinity could be taken.
And now, they have come again.
Eric stepped forward. His spear appeared in his hand, and he pointed it directly toward the throne.
"Even after years, you all don't know when to quit…" he said coldly, his grip tightening slightly.
Asana ignored him completely. Her gaze moved past him and locked onto Edwina.
Out of everyone present, she hated this woman the most.Her expression showed no hesitation. Only cold disgust.
A sister who had backstabbed her own brother.
Before anyone could say anything, she moved.
A chilling force burst from her hand, and the temperature of the entire dimension dropped instantly. Frost spread through the air as a massive wave of icy power surged forward.
It was not just an attack.
It was pure killing intent.
BOOOOOOM!
The icy force rushed straight toward Edwina, freezing everything in its path.
But Edwina did not move.She stood there calmly, her expression unchanged.
She slowly raised her hand, and a soft light formed in her palm. In the next moment, a translucent shield appeared before her.
The ice slammed into it.
BOOOOOOM!
A violent explosion erupted as frost and divine light collided. The impact shook the entire dimension, and waves of energy spread outward, twisting the space around them.
The ground patterns flickered uncontrollably.
The sky trembled.
Yet Edwina did not take a single step back.
Her eyes met Asana's directly.
The moment their eyes locked, the fragile balance collapsed completely.
Asana stepped forward and the sound of her heel touching the ground echoed like a command across the dimension.
Ice spread instantly from beneath her feet, not just across the surface but deep into the structure of the dimension itself, threading through its foundations like veins of cold spreading through a living body.
The air grew sharp and thin and every breath turned into frost the moment it left the lungs. The temperature didn't just drop. It plunged, sudden and merciless, like the world had forgotten what warmth ever felt like.
A storm gathered around her.
Thin blades of ice formed in layers above and around her, each one trembling with killing intent so thick it was almost visible. They circled her slowly and faint cracking sounds echoed outward as the space around them struggled to endure the cold pressing against its walls. The dimension itself groaned under the weight of it.
Her fingers lifted slightly and the storm answered to her will.
Thousands of icy spears surged forward in a single wave, slicing through the air with a piercing shriek that cut across the entire battlefield. The path they passed through froze solid behind them, leaving a trail of crystalline destruction hanging in the air like a monument to the force that had just moved through it.
Edwina watched without moving.
Her white robes fluttered gently as a strange ripple spread around her body like the surface of still water disturbed by something invisible. The incoming storm did not slow but its trajectory shifted subtly.
The angles twisted and the space between points stretched unevenly in ways that made the eye feel wrong just from looking at it. Her fingers moved in a small and precise motion, barely anything at all.
The storm veered.The icy spears curved unnaturally, missing her by inches and crashing into the far distance behind her with the force of something that had been traveling at full speed with nowhere left to go.
BOOOOOOM!
