Chapter 642: Ultimate Power (1/2)
With the balance tipped by the power of the awakened Fate, the battle between the Gods and Human-Demon Allied Forces had turned into a one-sided battle.
In terms of strength, the Human-Demon Allied Forces were now overwhelming the other side, and Life, the cornerstone of the Gods, has been repeatedly killed by Isis, making it so that the Gods are incapable of keeping up with the healing and revival.
The numbers of Gods are steadily decreasing…… but they weren't completely wiped out. Life was also being killed once every three times she activated her ability, but she was just barely able to keep the war going by prioritizing the revival of the High-ranking Gods.
Even Isis, who was able to draw out her magic power of death to the limit thanks to Fate's ability, could not completely prevent the resurrection of the Gods because she could not kill the power of Shallow Vernal, her authority itself.
But even so, the tide of war is heavily tilting in favor of the Human-Demon Allied Forces.
[Endure! This kind of explosive enhancement can't last long! Even if the World King replenishes her magic, it won't be long before the effects wear off! Until then, hold on! Protect Life God!!!]
Chronois gave a speech to the Gods. She herself is battered and bruised, but she still continues to fight. Fate's ”Critical Point of Fate”, which strengthens everyone she recognizes as an ally to the limit of their talents, is a terrifying power.
However, such a powerful power would need a suitable amount of consumption. Even if she's a Supreme God, Fate's magic power, which transcends human knowledge, would also be consumed at an explosive rate to maintain its power.
Lillywood continues to supply Fate with magic power from the front lines, but even so, her consumption is still far greater…… and Fate's limit will eventually come.
Therefore, the Gods were desperately trying to endure. They were working to protect Life, even if it meant using their own bodies as shields.
Of course, the Human-Demon Allied Forces also knew that this was their opportunity…… and their last chance to attack, so they couldn't miss it. If they can knock down Life here, they won't have to worry about later.
Thereupon, in the space where a vast amount of magic power was colliding, a particularly large amount of magic power pulsated.
[ ! ? Oh no! Everyone, disperse! ”Dragon King's Breath” incoming!!!]
”Naive! There's no escape to everything within my sight!”
Dragon King Magnawell…… The world's largest living organism, standing around 30,000 meters tall…… The full force of the dragonbreath released from such a being burnt everything before him to ashes.
As Chronois' Spatial Teleportation was also blocked by Isis' power, a flash of destruction fell upon the Gods who were unable to escape.
Unknown amount of time has passed since they've been fighting. However, after a fierce battle in which both sides exerted their deadly power…… the battle was about to reach its final stage.
Now, there are only two Gods left in front of the Human-Demon Allied Forces…… Life and Chronois.
Yes, in the fierce battle, Life cut off everyone else and used her power only to keep Chronois and herself alive. That's why Chronois and Life are still alive.
However, even Life, who has held on as the centerpiece of the battle with her overwhelming abilities…… had reached her limits, as she had both of her knees on the ground, unable to even stand.
Chronois was just like her, breathing heavily and was brought down on one knee.
[……Amazing…… God of Time and Space…… God of Life…… Even after all that happened, you two still weren't defeated……]
However, speaking of reaching limits, Fate is no different from them…… The effect of her Critical Point of Fate had worn off, and the repercussions had made it impossible for the Human-Demon Allied Forces to even move.
[……Don't look down on us…… I admit, your choice may have been one of the right answers.]
[Yes, it's because of your unwavering loyalty to Shallow Vernal-sama…… that you turn against her…… a choice that neither I nor God of Time and Space can take.]
[……However.]
[……Yes, however……]
They looked as if they were about to collapse, but putting strength in their legs, Chronois and Life stood up.
[Know that our resolve to fight for Shallow Vernal-sama at the cost of our lives is nothing less than your determination!]
[You're not the only one with a burning resolve!]
Holding unto the pillars of their absolute loyalty to Shallow Vernal, Chronois and Life continued speaking while glaring at Fate.
[……You still have the Phantasmal King on your side. We, on the other hand, have wounds all over our bodies…… victory has been decided…… Is that what you think?]
[……Eh?]
[Why do you think Life God allowed me to survive? Yes, we…… no, I still have one more trump card.]
[Trump card…… Don't tell me!?]
Seeing a fearless smile appear on Chronois' lips, Fate came up with a possibility. The trump card given by Shallow Vernal only to the Supreme Beings. A one-time ultimate power of their authorities……
