256 Chapter 255: The true Victor

Cyrus’ words were like a divine decree descending from the heavens upon all those below. An invisible force tangled with the mighty red spear in a bid to stop its ascension.

Hmph!

Cyrus snorted disdainfully as his clothes fluttered in the wind and he watched the attack come at him. Before it could reach him, it finally stopped, and only then did he frown.

These old gods are powerful.. to be able to resist the power of the word this much even though they are at the same power level is just frightening it’s as if they were on par with Damon!

“Not bad…”

Swish!

Rose’s figure vanished and reappeared some distance away from them. Even with Ducalian dead, she didn’t seem bothered at all. Rose was a red-haired lady whose curvy figures were hidden within the customized red armor with a red cape fluttering madly behind her.

She held on to her red spear with a smile on her face which made Gin frown.

“The fact you all came here means you don’t even know what’s happening within your empire…. Sad” Rose said with squinted eyebrows.

.....

Buzzz!

Gin and Cyrus frowned at this unable to wrap their heads around the meaning of those words. f𝙧ee𝙬ℯ𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝒆𝘭. c𝒐𝓂

“Your plan was not to force your way in?” Cyrus asked and Rose nodded.

“It was to force our way in but you three were never the target. Having you all come here is a blessing in disguise since it means all the other battle fronts have been weakened and they know about it. I’m sure they have made their move already” Rose said as she looked towards the floating empire which was already set ablaze.

Looking up Gin and Cyrus paled in shock as they realized the mistake they made. As they were never the target, the only person who can get their attention is obviously Damon. Since Damon was the target, Rose was sure the other gods wouldn’t try to rescue her and Ducalian. She was sure they would press the attack now they are sure where Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa are.

When they press the attack, who will stop them?

Shadows?

They were true gods in the body of a peak Angel realm being half a step away from becoming a demigod.

Gerald and the other race representatives? These mortals without any barking can never compare to supreme deities.

It didn’t take long before the defenses were breached and the enemy invaded the empire above.

His trap for the enemy turned out to backfire

One single miscalculation from Gin led to the invasion of the empire and what was sad about this wasn’t that he lost in this game of chess not because he was inferior but because he was wrong about their intention!

“Now all I have to do is make sure none of you return, then we win… Checkmate” Rose said with a smile on her face drawing back the attention of Cyrus, Elsa, and Gin.

When they looked at her their face paled as they saw her bleeding ears. She damaged her ears to neutralize the effects of the word pathway. As a fighter type God, Gin’s devour pathway was practically useless on her, and with her experience on the battlefield for thousands of years, she would definitely be able to pin the three of them here long enough to ravage the entire empire.

Checkmate!

Gin frowned…..

.... Meanwhile...…

As the enemy forces entered the empire, the palace of death remained silent as the empire was set ablaze. Countless people were murdered every second and cries could be heard. They cried out for Cyrus, Elsa, and Gin their new gods but there was no response. Their gods were engaged in a life-threatening battle and held down wherever they were.

With no other choice, they desperately began crying out to Damon. The power of fate surging towards the place of death was massive and intimidating since it came from the deepest parts of the hearts of these people.

This was their final plea for help!

“No!” Atlas and the other deities were the only ones who could see the power of faith. Upon seeing this they too realized they have fallen for the trap of Damon.

They thought they were the ones who fooled the new gods of the empire by luring them out but now they realized Damon was a separate force from the empire and his plan depended on them acting this way.

With Gin and the other defenders of the empire out of the way, the people will have no choice but to cry out to him for help. With the support from their faith power, he will be able to weaken the process of digesting the soul of the God of death!

That’s true!

Damon has always had enough power of faith to ascend but he never did!

He waited for the perfect time to get extra from these people, for this particular purpose!

Killing Sol the day he did wasn’t a coincidence, it was planned as well! The person who they assumed to be the mad dog among the new gods turned out to be the scheming snake amongst them!

“Everyone head towards the palace of death! There is no time to waste!” Sid roared as he shot into the sky and was followed by five other figures.

...….

Boom!

Armanthos crushed the skull of a goblin warlord effortlessly as he saw the six beams shooting toward the palace of death.

“They are heading for the death mage, he has been their target all this while,” Armanthos said with a deep frown.

“Then let Damon deal with them. We are not obligated to assist in any way” Gerald’s cold voice rang.

His hatred for the death mage could be heard in his voice and seen in his eyes.

The man who killed his father and brother must die one way or another!

...…..

Woosh!

Sid and his group flying towards the palace of death were stopped midst of three figures.

Lucy and Klien stood behind while Blink stood ahead with his silver robes fluttering. His cold gaze seemed to lack any form of emotions even in the presence of the old gods and ancestral dragons.

“My master is busy at the moment and requires privacy. I suggest you wait patiently” Blink’s words were sharp and fierce making the faces of these deities twist in anger.

They could understand Damon or other new gods spoke to them like this but how can a nameless mortal who will die and fade away from existence speak to them in such a manner?

“The angels of death of the palace of death know only one true God and his name is Damon Ross. Every deity outside him is false and must be eradicated. The angels of death have been tasked with eradicating them… that is what we plan to do!” Blink’s words rang across the world like an imperial decree. Which triggered many people

.....Palace of death...…

Damon sat in a cross-legged position In a dark room. His body was levitated off the ground and he was surrounded by six figures. Each of these figures exuded divine energy which shouldn’t belong to beings of the mortal realm. Alongside Demos were the guardian spirits of all the elements.

Michael Guardian spirit of life

Demos Guardian spirit of Death

Meta Guardian spirit of force

Vulcan guardian spirit of destruction

Gaia Guardian spirit of nature

Raizen Guardian spirit of the storm

They all surrounded Damon and gazed at him skeptically. As per Demos’s request, they descended to listen to Damon’s plans and when they heard it they were stunned and terrified at the same time.

Greed is considered one thing but that of Damon could be considered beyond what they have seen before. While the new gods weren’t particularly friends as it can be seen when Sol decided not to awaken his other brothers but they never considered consuming the other and stealing their power.

It was just outright diabolic but Damon had a point. The new gods have failed over and over again because there were too many people involved in the struggle and there will always be a mistake from one or more of them in the long run which leads to their failure.

Why hope that the same thing won’t repeat itself again when they can all invest their power in the one most capable host to have ever been chosen?

“Letting one person wield all that power will disrupt the balance!” Gaia rejected.

“I am the balance!” Damon hissed and she frowned.

“I only ask you to help me take the powers of the original new gods from the current hosts… a portion of the inheritance still remains in my friends meaning they can still ascend and become gods… they will be your weapon against me should I lose my way. But the power of the original new gods must be unified in me to form the ultimate host” Damon said calmly.

His words were calm and simple but his eyes surged with ambition. An ambition, not even the gods can stop!
