634 Not so Long Battles (1/2)

The Lightning God smiled at Astel's attack as a barrier of lightning rejected the attack.

”This lightning is difficult to see, but it is constantly protecting my body moving at the highest speed. As long as I have this protection, you can't reach my body. Your power isn't enough to break it.”

The Lightning God was very proud of the lightning barrier, but that wasn't the reason why he was famous.

His specialty was using attacks at high speed, and that was the reason Astel wanted to kill him quickly.

Although the attacks were extremely quick, the power was more than enough to kill and ordinary Great God. If the Lightning God discovered someone related to Yale, he could kill them before they noticed that someone attacked.

The positions of every member were already planned, so they were the furthest possible of the Lightning God, but he was a high-priority target to kill anyway.

Yale and Kroh were forbidden to attack until the end, and Alrein was already quite busy with all his targets, so he suggested leaving the Lightning God to Astel.

”Let's see if your defense is that good. I think it will be broken quite quickly.”

Astel didn't seem to care about that barrier of lightning, but the Lightning God thought that he was just bluffing. After all, the Lightning God knew better than anyone how strong his defense was.

The Lightning God saw that Astel was just a Great God, so even though he considered that Astel wasn't an ordinary Great God, he wasn't strong enough to break his barrier.

”Keep trying if you want, but you will never break it. I think it is time for me to attack.”

As he finished speaking, he noticed that something was wrong and looked down at his body.

His head had been detached from his body, but the barrier was still unbroken.

”Impossible...”

That was the last word he was able to say using all his remaining strength.

”I told you this would be quick. Your defense isn't perfect. It is quick, but there are gaps. Of course, it is virtually impossible to attack thought those gaps unless you have a lot of luck, a miracle would be needed. However, although I prefer to consider myself his best friend and right-hand man, I am still considered someone who learned directly from Alrein, the Miracle God. Even the Minor Miracle Divinity can destroy your defense with enough tries.”

The Minor Miracle Divinity wasn't as strong as the True Miracle Divinity. Alrein would have broken that defense in an instant. However, as something that affected luck, it couldn't be underestimated.

The chances of making a miracle were lower, but that was only when compared with someone like Alrein, the chances were still incredibly higher than someone who didn't have the Minor Miracle Divinity.

In that short battle, Astel attacked thousands of times until he had succeeded, but someone else might not have managed to succeed even in millions of tries.

If the Lightning God hadn't tried to show-off his defense, Astel might have needed more time, but that was all. Astel wasn't a True God because he didn't want, he could advance whenever he felt like it, but being a Great God worked well enough to make his opponent underestimate him.

”My job is done. Guessing by the reduction of the universe, the end of the war isn't too far. Those fools thinking this war will last millions of years and battling according to that thought would suffer greatly.”

Although Astel didn't know all the truth about the plan of the Time Faction, he knew that winning the war wasn't the objective.

If the Time Faction wanted to win the war, an army wasn't needed. Kroh, Alrein, and Yale were strong enough to put an end to the war with the least number of casualties and in a short span of time.

Astel believed that Kroh alone would be able to fight the war on his own if he tried, and that possibly the other two could as well.

The Time Divinity, the Miracle Divinity, and the Dimensional Divinity were just too strong.

However, he had the feeling that Kroh was still the most dangerous of the three. He couldn't explain it with words, nor he knew about Kroh's true level, but Astel's intuition was so good that surprised Alrein a lot of times, like when Astel saved him from the Existence Eraser.

Wyba and Barha finished their battle without any difficulty soon after Astel killed the Lightning God.

There were a lot of deaths on both sides, but that was because others tried to help Wyba and Barha despite them not wanting help, and they ended up being slaughtered by the rebels.

Wyba and Barha weren't just cute, they were also extremely strong. With their opponent unable to attack them, they could have killed them all far quicker if no one helped them.
