Chapter 326: The False God
Before Gi-Gyu had shattered Kronos time-space and escaped, divine energy light beams were raining down on the Colosseum. The light beams didnt simply destroy their targetsthey obliterated them. And if they missed their targets, they hit the ground, creating massive craters. The numerous craters made it seem like the ground itself was disappearing.
Gi-Gyus creatures dodged them as best as they could, aware that a single hit meant death. So far, they had been successful in evading the beams, but they were reaching their limits. Since they were light beams, they didnt get to think about their evasion approach. They had to move based on their instincts.
The problem was that not all had such a developed instinct and reflex.
El screamed, Hamiel! Michael!
The two angels were barely surviving. One of the beams had grazed both of them.
Hamiel replied calmly, Im okay.
But it appeared that Michael was injured badly. He groaned, but the wound on his arm healed instantly. El watched him with a flinch, having mixed feelings about how quickly Michael could heal himself. But she wasnt upset with what she had seen.
He is becoming stronger. El realized Michael was actually absorbing divine energy from the beams to become more powerful.
Is it because his body originally belonged to Gabriel? El thought as she turned and blocked a beam. El wondered if Gabriels physique was helping Michael become stronger each time he came in contact with divine energy. Gabriel had spent a lot of time and effort on Michaels body, most likely because it belonged to him. She couldnt understand why Gabriel had given up this body, to begin with. She could tell that Michael was a skilled fighter along with Hamiel, who managed to block the beams from time to time.
Hamiel had a special power that seemed to counter divine energy well, and Michael was also becoming stronger, but the problem was that they would die at this rate.
This seems never-ending, Lou muttered as he swung Harmageddon to form half a circle. They had barely been defending themselves, and their attacks had done little to no damage to Gabriel. Soon, they would be too exhausted to defend themselves and die.
The only thing they could hope for was Gi-Gyus arrival.
Just then, the beam attack stopped. Was Gabriel ready to unleash an even bigger attack? Or was he going to attack physically now?
Everyone waited quietly.
El suddenly screamed, No!
However, she was too late, as Gabriel had already declared, Holy Land Proclamation.
The voice that had left Gabriels mouth didnt belong to a human. It rang in the air, its auditory qualities representing his great power. The space around them began shaking.
Realizing what was happening, Lou whispered, Its too late.
Once Gabriel had proclaimed the place a holy land, the area became something like the Vatican. This was now saturated with divine energy and could provide an infinite amount of it. This meant that by just being here, Gabriel got limitless power.
They had planned to make him attack them to weaken him; it was pointless now.
Lou said to El, It looks like Gabriel obtained the essence of your world. He must have built the Vatican using this same essence.
Every dimensions essence held great power. The essences of different dimensions had been used to empower Babel. But Els world hadnt lost its essence at the time. And Gabriel had taken that essence to create the Vatican and had most likely used it to descend to Earth.
Just how big is his shell? El wondered. How vast could Gabriels shell be to hold both Gods power and an entire dimensions essence? Gabriel had to be a beast of incredible power.
It was then that they saw something sparkling falling from the sky.
Hamiel yelled, Those are!
The figures coming down from the sky looked familiar. They had large sets of wings on their backs and flew down gracefully. Their wings were black, a mark of their corruption, and the dark color absorbed the light around them.
How are those angels?! Hamiel whispered as he watched the angels, who had been annihilated before, come down looking perfectly alive. There were over a thousand of them.
Lou explained, Gabriel has a God-like ability now. Although he cant do it perfectly, it wouldnt be too hard for him to resurrect his army now.
... A heavy silence fell among them. Indeed, the army of angels didnt look perfect.
They look like marionettes. Hamiel thought in disgust. One of the angels caught his eyesCastro, whom he had killed earlier. It looked like all the angels, except for the ones Lou had absorbed, had been resurrected.
This is going to get even harder, Lou announced while summoning Death and sorcerous energy. He hadnt used his full power yet, but it was time to bring everything out. His horns grew.
Lou continued, We really dont have much time left. Well all die at this rate. Its probably the same situation outside too. I doubt its just the Colosseum that became his holy land. And I dont think Gabriels energy is contained only here.
If things continued like this, the humans outside would die too.
The mention of Paimons army made Gi-Gyu, Lou, and El feel much better.
Just then, Hamiel yelled, Grandmaster!
Dun dun dun dun.
The protective dome-like wall Gi-Gyu had built for protection was shaking.
Gabriel Gi-Gyu saw that Gabriel was glaring at them, ready for a battle. Gi-Gyu suspected that Gabriel had realized what was about to happen.
Brun! Lets hurry. Since he didnt have to worry about the outside, he felt he could take action more freely now.
Okay! Brun appeared on Gi-Gyus chest and transformed into the Dragon Hunter. Meanwhile, Gabriel summoned his divine energy to prepare for his next big attack.
Can you guys all continue? asked Gi-Gyu, now fully in his Dragon Hunter armor. His face was also covered, but everyone could hear his voice clearly. He had asked this question despite knowing the answer.
Are you crazy? Lou muttered. I am at my limit. Just being here hurts my Root. I barely managed to recover my power, so this wont do. I gotta go and get healed up first.
Lou was a demon and the former hell king. Being in an area filled with divine energy was toxic to him, so it was a surprise that he lasted this long.
If it were Botis or the other demons, they would have melted away. The divine energy here is just so dense, Gi-Gyu thought with a nod.
Grandmaster It looked like Hamiel wanted to stay and fight, but Gi-Gyu shook his head.
No, you need to rest, said Gi-Gyu. Before Michael could even offer, Gi-Gyu turned toward him and added, You too, Michael.
Michael looked unhappy, but he didnt argue. No one could deny that Gi-Gyus creatures needed to rest. They had been only defending themselves, but they were essentially fighting a god. Gi-Gyu was proud of them for surviving this long.
Thank you for your good work. You can all go now and rest. Gi-Gyu turned toward Gabriel, who seemed ready to fight. Gabriel was still in the sky, and the angels, who had been smashing into Gi-Gyus wall, were flying around him.
In front of Gabriel, a ring-like light glowed, ready to unleash a blast of divine power.
Gi-Gyu began his countdown silently, Three.
El, he called out. Without Lou, Gi-Gyu couldnt use his berserk mode. In addition, he would lose consciousness if he went berserk, which meant this wasnt the right time to use it.
Two, Gi-Gyu counted.
Im ready, El replied. It appeared that she had read his mind. El smiled and waited.
One.
El disappeared and reappeared in Gi-Gyus hand, and a bright light exploded around him. Gabriels attack would be like a giant firework announcing the beginning of their epic
Gabriel still hadnt attacked because all of this had happened in less than a second.
[Dragon Hunter]
Gaias voice was heard.
[Your Saint Mode has been activated.]
Fwoosh!
Suddenly, the protective wall Gi-Gyu had constructed disappeared as Gabriels light ring exploded with a bright glow. Kronos had said that Gabriel had Gods power, and it would be difficult to defeat him. Kronos had insinuated that Gi-Gyu would die trying.
But Gi-Gyu grinned. Hes wrong.
It was obvious Kronos didnt understand him very well. Gi-Gyu knew he was strong.
And Im becoming more powerful.
This was the power of the sync.
The light was so bright that the others couldnt see anything, but crashing and clashing sounds began. And between these loud noises, Gi-Gyus clear voice announced.
-Landmark Proclamation.
