Chapter Title: Birth of the Evil God
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ha.
Armageddon let out a hollow laugh at the scene unfolding before him.
It was utterly absurd.
To think he had even foreseen Armageddons visit to the divine realm and set up countermeasures.
Primatos.
Youre thwarting me until the very end!
Whatever. Doesnt matter.
Though he hadnt obtained the Supreme Gods will, its disappearance had allowed him to seize control of the palace.
Armageddon quickly took over the palace and grinned wickedly at the approaching angels.
Come on.
He would corrupt them all and turn them into his minions.
Then, he would create a new divine realm and claim his throne as its master.
Armageddon extended his hand toward them.
Waves of light and darkness erupted, engulfing the angels.
Arghhh!
Guhhh!
The angels dropped their weapons, clutching their heads in agony.
The pure white hair of the noble angels began to turn black, their eyes glowing a sickly yellow.
Perfect.
Armageddon smiled in satisfaction as he watched them fall.
It wasnt mere corruptionhe had implanted suggestions to ensure their obedience to him.
The fully corrupted angels knelt before Armageddon.
Well then.
Armageddon turned his body.
All that remained was to sit upon the throne within the palace and become the Supreme God.
Of course, to become the perfect Supreme God, he needed to reclaim all the power Primatos had left behind, but the human who held the Main Line had vanished.
No doubt, as the will emerged, it had forcibly relocated that human.
It was just a futile struggle.
Even if that human had elevated his realm through the Main Line, facing Armageddon, who now wielded light, was impossible.
He had given only a fraction of the light to the Named Ones.
No way could that scrap of power stand against a human backed by the Seven Main Lines and Janus.
In contrast, Armageddon commanded over ninety percent of the light and wielded power rivaling the Main Lines.
That was why he remained utterly relaxed, no matter what schemes Primatos had devised.
We greet our lord.
With the corrupted angels at his back, Armageddon entered the palace.
Crackle
A bolt of lightning struck down toward him.
Struggling to the bitter end, eh? Kahaha!
Armageddon threw his head back and burst into laughter.
In that instant, an arrow shot toward Armageddons throat.
Ting
But the arrow failed to pierce his protective barrier and vanished.
Hmm?
Armageddon wiped the smile from his face and looked toward where the arrow had come from.
A short distance away stood a human aiming at him.
The human released the drawn bowstring with a smirk.
Swoooosh!
This time, the arrow flew with a sharp whistle, splitting into thousands mid-flight and raining down on Armageddon.
Yet it left not even a scratch on his barrier.
Struggling to the end, I see.
Armageddons left hand glowed pure white as before, his right hand pitch black.
He intended to forcibly reap the humans soul.
But unlike before, the human showed no sign of pain and drew his bowstring again.
Think the same trick will work twice?
The human sneered once and released the string.
Ridiculous. Spouting nonsense and shooting another arrow?
He didnt know what the human was up to, but soul reaping wasnt working.
No need to panic, though.
He could neutralize the pests attacks effortlessly.
Armageddon scoffed and spread his arms wide.
A blatant taunt.
If you can attack, then do it.
Youll regret that.
With those words, the human released the string.
Swoooosh!
The arrow pierced the air and struck Armageddons barrier dead-on, targeting his chest.
Crack
In that moment, the barrier shattered, and the arrow plunged straight into Armageddons chest.
Gahk!
Armageddons eyes bulged in shock.
How?!
There was no time for surprise.
The searing pain from his chest twisted his face.
This is Blazing Heaven.
With that, the human drew his bowstring once more.
Blazing Heaven?
Armageddon reached out toward the babbling human.
Something was seriously wrong.
If he stayed idle, hed be done for!
Light and darkness swirled within him, then began to run rampant.
!
Why now?!
Told you youd regret it.
The human grinned and released the string.
Swoooosh!
The arrow embedded perfectly in Armageddons thigh.
Grk!
Armageddon lost his balance and collapsed.
At that moment.
The archangels returned to the divine realm, each leading their armies.
Among them, Beelzebub was dragged in, battered and bound.
Even wielding light, facing an army of angels alone was impossible.
We need to help Hoon quickly.
Lets hurry.
Michael took the lead, tracking Jeong Hoon.
He was at the palace where the Supreme God had resided.
An evil aura emanated from within.
From the moment Jeong Hoon unlocked the true power of the Main Line, Armageddon was no match for him.
I was hoping for a flashy fight.
Distorting the divine realms space or leveling the surroundings.
Hed expected a close battle at the start, but Armageddons massive complacency made what should have been the final showdown disappointingly one-sided.
Jeong Hoon set down Anima and approached Armageddon.
Protect our lord!
Stop him!
The corrupted angels charged at Jeong Hoon.
Creation.
Jeong Hoon unleashed Creations power upon them.
Arghhhh!
Kyahhhh!
The engulfed angels screamed in place, the darkness rapidly receding as they reverted to their original forms.
Creation didnt just healit purified, restoring them to their true selves.
But having been tainted by darkness once, the angels collapsed, utterly drained.
You should be fine now.
Jeong Hoon tossed a word to the angels and approached Armageddon again.
Primatos! You damned bastard!
Armageddon spat curses at Jeong Hoon, invoking the Supreme Gods name.
What a sight you make.
Jeong Hoon sneered down at him.
A mere creation dares to!
Who do you think you are?
What?!
You, getting beaten by a creation, think you can conquer the divine realm? Laughable.
Jeong Hoon brought his holy sword down on Armageddons right hand.
Argh!
Through Fusion, Blazing Heaven maximized the attack, piercing Armageddons absolute defense. Present Flow disrupted his energy, rendering control impossible.
Unaware of the Main Lines essence, Armageddon could only tremble in pain and glare murderously at Jeong Hoon.
No fun. Lets end it.
Jeong Hoon slammed Titan, gripped in his right hand, into Armageddons solar plexus.
Thud
Heavenly Radiance pierced the flow of Armageddons energy, striking the vital point precisely.
Adding the Abyssal Main Line erased Armageddons very existence.
Gurgle
Armageddons eyes rolled back as he vomited blood from his nose and mouth.
Its over!
Master!
Mukho and Anima were certain of Jeong Hoons victory upon seeing it.
We did it.
Tenebris couldnt hide her joyful smile at Jeong Hoons win.
But Jeong Hoon and Januss expressions were far from triumphant.
Whats this? Why isnt the body crumbling?
Titan was inscribed with Main Line power.
Armageddons existence should have crumbled to dust.
Yet his body showed no sign of disintegrating.
Looks like he prepared something too.
Seems that way.
Jeong Hoon pulled the sword from Armageddons solar plexus and hand.
Armageddons body floated up and vanished from the spot.
Still channeling Heavenly Radiance, Jeong Hoon swung his holy sword swiftly.
Clang!
A sharp metallic clash rang out, staggering Jeong Hoon.
The sins he held have gone berserk.
The Seven Deadly Sins.
Before regression, Jeong Hoon had collected the sin boxes to unleash Thanatos.
After regression, hed never seen a single sin boxbecause hed opened the gates to the divine realm.
Strange. We disposed of Escannon, didnt we?
Hed personally captured him and reclaimed all the sin boxes.
So how did Armageddon have them?
Theyre imitations mimicking the Main Lines.
Mimicking the Main Lines?
Yes. I peeked into his memories without your permission earlier. He once opened a sin box.
And?
Clang! Clang!
Jeong Hoon defended against Armageddons attacks while awaiting Januss next words.
The sins you know were experiments.
Experiments?
Yes. He split one Heavenly Star into seven and sealed them. Once the experiment ended, he discarded them to another Heavenly Star.
That was Escannon?
Exactly.
Then what does berserk mean?
Think of it as them rampaging to prevent you from erasing him.
A final desperate spasm, in other words.
Jeong Hoon focused on Armageddon, who pressed the attack relentlessly.
His consciousness gone, only instinct remained.
Without the Main Lines power, it would have been unmanageable.
Clang!
Blocking another strike, black flames surged and enveloped Jeong Hoon.
But he didnt flinch, using Present Flows gesture to divert the flames aside.
Heavenly Radiance activated, his vision flashing bright.
In the slowed time sensation, Jeong Hoon thrust his sword.
Thud
In that instant, time in the divine realm froze.
The archangels and armies approaching Jeong Hoon halted like statues, as did the fallen angels.
Whats this sensation?
As Jeong Hoon began to question it, Armageddons lips curled up.
Heh heh. Did you truly think youd defeated me?
Jeong Hoon had thought the sins left only instinct.
But his eyes remained pitch black.
Hes become an Evil God.
Hed sought to conquer the divine realm and become Supreme God, only to kneel before Jeong Hoon and rampage, transforming into an Evil God.
The once-noble divine realm began to darken, and the angels restored by Creation crumbled to dust.
Had time stopped due to the Evil God Armageddons trickery?
Horrible! If that thing claims this divine realm, all dimensions will perish!
Tenebris cried out in terror.
Yes.
It was a calamity.
And only Jeong Hoon, resisting with the Supreme Gods power, could stop it.
Jeong Hoon swung his holy sword.
Clang!
But it failed to cleave Armageddon and bounced off.
The shockwave warped the space between them, opening a rift, and Armageddon thrust his hand into it.
Crumple
The entire divine realm crumpled like paper.
Yes. I was mistaken. Stealing Primatoss divine realm? No. Ill destroy it and create a new one wholly mine.
He intended to erase the divine realm entirely.
Jeong Hoon desperately swung Titan at his arm.
Clang!
But Titan couldnt sever it.
Looks like the complacent one was you.
Armageddons lips stretched to his ears.
