Chapter Title: The Fall of Harmageddon
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Divine Line had no effect.
The powers of light and darkness were equally useless against the evil god Harmageddon.
There was no way to stop the crumbling Divine Realm.
Jeong Hoon looked up and saw angels racing toward him from afar.
The armies in the rear were turning to dust and vanishing, while even the archangels were losing their upper and lower bodies, barely recognizable by their forms.
Beelzebub, whom they had bound and dragged along, was on the verge of annihilation as well.
He plans to wipe everything out and start over.
That was absolutely unacceptable.
Jeong Hoon raised his holy sword and Titan high.
No. That wont defeat him.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in Jeong Hoons mind.
Primatos, the God King.
My will is already within you. So dont paniclook ahead.
Jeong Hoon gazed at Harmageddon, who was relentlessly erasing the Divine Realm.
That is no god. Its merely a fallen creation lost to power, devoid of reason.
So what am I supposed to do about it?
Fusion. Become one with it. You havent fully accepted the Divine Lines power yet.
.
He hadnt fully accepted the Divine Line.
He understood.
Deep down, Jeong Hoon harbored resistance toward the God King.
He wanted to return to Earth as a mortal, live an ordinary life, grow old peacefully.
He believed unnecessary power had no place in a peaceful world.
But becoming the God King would shatter all those dreams.
You need not blame yourself for selfishness.
With Primatoss comfort, Jeong Hoon finally made his decision.
I accept it.
The acceptance was simple.
Merging his soul with the Divine Line engraved upon it.
As he embraced the unified Divine Line through fusion, a warm glow of light enveloped his body.
The sin I created surpasses the Divine Line. You think that puny power can do anything to me?
Even as Harmageddon spoke those words, he didnt let his guard down.
Hadnt he suffered bitterly after underestimating Jeong Hoon early on?
If he hadnt forcibly unleashed his sin in a rampage, he would have been effortlessly crushed by Jeong Hoons Divine Line power.
Yeah.
Jeong Hoon slowly raised both swords overhead.
Seven Divine Lines, First: Creation.
He wouldnt slash at Harmageddon yet.
First, he had to halt the destruction.
A blue light of life burst from beneath Jeong Hoons feet and seeped into his sword.
I sever it.
Jeong Hoon swung the sword down from above.
Ring
At that instant, a clear tone resonated, and the power of Creation spread across the entire Divine Realm.
The crumbling realm began to heal flawlessly, halted time resumed its flow, and the vanishing angels regained their original forms.
What what is this.
Harmageddons pupils trembled.
It wasnt an exaggeration to say the sin he had created surpassed Primatoss Divine Line.
Yet what was this absurd restorative power?
He had no time to be surprised.
Non-Action.
As Jeong Hoon invoked Non-Action, his form blurred and vanished without a trace.
You bastard!
The heavens split open, unleashing apocalypse.
Harmageddons eight pairs of black wings twisted and unfurled.
Even if they recovered with the Divine Line, hed just erase it again.
Rumble
But the split heavens sealed shut once more.
The Divine Realm had been restored by Creation.
The sky also dyed gold, with radiant beams scattering like snowflakes.
And there, before him, Jeong Hoon had his holy sword aimed at Harmageddons throat.
Flame Heaven.
Jeong Hoon activated Flame Heaven, slashing diagonally.
Flames erupted along Harmageddons neck, engulfing him in an instant.
Not mere fire, but the purifying blaze that annihilated evil.
I wont lose!
Though writhing in agony, Harmageddon reached out toward Jeong Hoon.
All his sin and apocalyptic energy ensnared Jeong Hoon.
Yet Jeong Hoon remained unflinching, invoking the final Divine Line: Fusion.
Fusion.
The six Divine Lines floated around Jeong Hoons body, instantly purifying the sin and apocalyptic energy.
It then seized that energy, sealing all of Harmageddons movements.
Let go! Release me!
Bound by the Divine Line, Harmageddon thrashed desperately, but to no avail.
Lets end this.
With Fusion invoked, he pierced Harmageddons essence with the Eyes of Heavens Radiance, then utterly twisted it through Present Flow.
Gah!
As his energy warped, blood poured from every orifice in Harmageddons body.
Jeong Hoon approached and plunged Titan into his forehead.
The abyss of nothingness.
Harmageddons black wings lost their power and dissipated, followed by his body rapidly crumbling.
Youre an eternal stain.
Jeong Hoon hurled those words at him.
A stain me?
Harmageddon looked up at the sky with trembling eyes.
No.
He was the angel Primatos had crafted with the most care.
He couldnt be a stain.
A stain? Ridiculous. Im not done. You think everything ends with me gone?
Even if Harmageddon vanished, there was no guarantee another greed-ridden being like him wouldnt emerge.
Once the tiny seed of emotion was planted in the hearts soil, it grew uncontrollably fast.
Humans are the ugliest, cruelest race! Greed, rage, envyits no exaggeration to say they embody all sins.
Yeah, youre not wrong.
Heh, arent you blocking me for your own goals? Can a filthy creature like you claim to be pure good?
I wont argue that either.
He had to acknowledge what was true.
Hah, so you covet the Divine Realm after all? With the Divine Line, you could become the God King!
Hm? Youre seriously misunderstanding. I have zero interest in becoming the God King.
What?
The reason you die by my hand is because you touched Earthmy family.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have cared if Harmageddon conquered the Divine Realm or whatever.
But the demon realm, including Harmageddon, had taken everything from Jeong Hoon.
So he was simply returning the favor.
In simple terms, karma.
You interfered with me for that petty reason?
Now left with only half a head, Harmageddon wore an incredulous expression.
Yeah. You die for that petty reason you mentioned.
Kehehe Human, I curse you to end up just like me.
Harmageddon spat his curse at Jeong Hoon and vanished completely.
Ugh, its over.
Ha.
Mukho and Anima, who had watched breathlessly, finally exhaled in relief.
Its really gone for good this time, right?
Tenebris had turned pale from Harmageddons rampage after a brief moment of joy, and couldnt shake off his doubts easily.
You coward, its been perfectly erased with the Divine Line. No more worries.
Only after Januss assurance did Tenebris nod.
Yeah. Its over. Everythings finally over.
They had drawn the curtain on the interminable war.
As the Divine Realm recovered, the angels watched Jeong Hoon and Harmageddons battle.
We won!
Its done! Jeong Hoon won!
Michael and the archangels clenched their fists in cheers.
Damn it.
Beelzebub, spared by Creation, bit his lip and cursed.
He never dreamed Harmageddon would perish so pathetically.
And that wasnt all.
The celestial armies sent to Earth had met their end at Psyches hands.
Hed surely annihilated herhow had she survived?
Beelzebub, youll suffer eternally here.
Zadkiel sneered at him.
XX! When you defected to the demon realm, I shouldve crushed you instead of hearing you out!
Too bad.
Zadkiels smile deepened at Beelzebubs rage.
Lets descend.
With those words, Michael flapped his wings and approached Jeong Hoon.
Slash
At that moment, a chilling sound reached their ears, and all heads snapped toward the source.
Thud.
There lay Beelzebubs head, rolling on the ground.
His headless body collapsed rapidly, and the head soon followed, disintegrating.
Wouldnt it have been better to decree eternal punishment?
Michael asked Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon had been the one to obliterate Beelzebub.
What if he escaped?
Ahem That was because Zadkiel was playing spy.
No reason to keep him alive anyway.
Understood. If that is the God Kings will, we share it.
With that, Michael knelt on one knee in reverence.
The trailing archangels and armies followed in perfect unison.
Jeong Hoon, having unlocked the true Seven Divine Lines, was destined to be the next God King.
Whoa, Master!
So now youll command these angels too?
Mukho and Anima beamed proudly, watching Jeong Hoons reaction.
Sorry, but I wont become the God King.
Yet Jeong Hoon refused.
You wont?
Michael cautiously lifted his head.
He had inherited the God Kings will and unleashed the true power of the Seven Divine Lines.
Thus, Jeong Hoon was the only suitable successor.
Youll understand soon enough.
But Jeong Hoon would never become the God King.
The power of Creation spread across the entire Earth.
Mountains, rivers, and flora ravaged by the celestial armies were restored.
Its finally over.
Psyche smiled brightly at Jeong Hoon.
Thank you for protecting Earth in my absence.
Without her, Earth would have been destroyed long ago.
I merely bought time. Everything was done by the God King.
Im not the God King.
Hehe, I know.
Then dont tease me.
Sorry. Your reactions are just too good.
Psyche covered her mouth, chuckling.
Didnt expect this side of you.
Hehe, so what are your plans now?
Ill live ordinarily.
An ordinary life.
Living normally with his mother, working hard to become independent, finding a spouse, building a new family, having a child who resembles him, and working diligently for that family.
You mean youll discard the Divine Line.
Jeong Hoon nodded.
The God King said he wouldnt oppose however I use it.
I see. Then I cant object either.
What are your plans?
Ill stay in the demon realm.
The demon realm?
With all the named demons eradicated, she had no reason to remain there.
Hehe, I saw Tenebris lose his bet to Janus. Hell probably become Januss minion.
Ah.
Now he got it.
Why she was heading to the demon realm.
Jeong Hoon glanced at Tenebris.
Psyche.
Tenebris looked deeply moved.
Oho, so that means another minion? Nice.
Janus grinned, already scheming how to use his minions.
I hope we meet again someday.
Jeong Hoon shook his head at her farewell.
We wont.
He wanted no more involvement with the Divine or demon realms.
Heh, got it. Then Ill head back to the demon realm first.
With those words, Psyche returned to the demon realm.
