I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Carlo didn't want the two of them to argue anymore. After all, the God-Emperor Storada was dead, and there was no turning back once the arrow was released. Everything that needed to be done had been done.

The gods all agreed with Deus's righteous cause and endorsed his Great Reversal Plan, so they were willing to follow him and contribute their strength.

"Tsk... Skadi will take over Ashura's position after that, right? I'll have her fight me instead of Ashura from now on!"

Knowing that the matter was settled, Ocas clicked his tongue and stopped wasting words with Deus. He looked at Skadi, who had put her mask back on, and pointed at her, indicating that he wanted her to fight him more often in the future.

"If I have the time, I would be more than happy to."

Skadi did not refuse Ocas's challenge and calmly agreed.

"Your personality... doesn't seem to suit the Mantra of Wrath in my opinion. If you get the Mantra and become weaker, don't blame me for killing you."

Okas looked Skadi up and down. Although she was quite strong, her calm and indifferent personality didn't seem to suit Ashura's Wrath Mantra.

Carlo also looked at Skadi, and he felt that Ocas's words were correct.

For thousands of years, he had never seen Skadi angry. A person with such a personality is probably not a good match for the Mantra of Wrath.

"You think you... know me well? You think I won't—get angry!?"

Beneath Skadi's mask, in her cold eyes, the pattern of the Ouroboros Sun Wheel appeared, and a fury that had never disappeared from her heart resonated with the power of the mantra and ignited.

Are you kidding me? Just because she didn't show any anger on the surface doesn't mean she can't get angry.

Tormented by a sense of primacy, she felt no sense of reality in her existence. Had she not cultivated her mind through Buddhism and meditation, her anger would have been incomprehensible and unimaginable to others.

It's important to understand that even when Skadi is angry, she remains aware of what's already happened.

That awful and helpless feeling only fuels Skadi's growing anger, and she is also affected by the anger from previous cycles.

Rumbling sounds...

A terrifying and divinely powerful rage surged forth from Skadi's body, accompanied by the fiery power of her mantra, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground.

The weakest among them, Carlo, let out a scream and was immediately blasted away by the power of the mantra brought about by his rage, crashing into the wall like a cannonball.

Deus, who was beside him, and Ocas, who was in front of him, were also thrown a few steps by the sudden impact.

After his initial surprise, Ocas smiled with excitement.

After his initial surprise, Deus intervened, using his power of incantation to stop Skadi's incantation from spreading, and shouted:

"Skadi, stop!!"

".....snort."

Sensing the slight suppression from Deus's immense power of mantra, Skadi's eyes, burning with divine light, dimmed, and the mantra power burning on her body slowly subsided.

After repairing the damage around him with the power of the magnetic field, he walked past Oukas and left the temple without looking back.

Watching Skadi's silent departure, Ocas stroked his beard, amusement on his face, and said, "Ha, it seems I misjudged her."

Skadi's personality, in the eyes of those around her, has always been calm, indifferent, and without desires.

Aside from cultivating, all she did all day was follow orders to suppress and subdue demons; I really didn't see Skadi do anything else in the rest of the time.

"For nearly a thousand years, she has always shattered my preconceived notions about her. She can't integrate into humanity, and it seems she can't integrate into the divine realm either."

Deus glanced at Carlo, who was staggering to his feet, and then looked in the direction where Skadi had long since disappeared, feeling surprised.

Skadi said that Ocas and Carlo didn't understand her, but wasn't Deus the same?

He thought Skadi would be angry when he showed her the truth about the Great Turnaround Plan, but she wasn't.

He thought Skadi would remain calm in the face of Ocas's pessimism, but the other party did indeed erupt in deep anger for the first time.

Deus sensed that this anger was directed at no one.

Is it anger at the plight of humanity? Is it anger at this terrible world...? It seems like neither.

Because they didn't know why she was angry, or the source of her anger, they didn't understand Skadi.

Chapter Fifty-One: Righteousness and Sacrificing Family for the Greater Good, The Stolen Eight Extremes Furnace

On the other side, Ashura, having finished his battle with Buridara, returned to his home with Yaksha.

He did not join the joyous celebrations of the divine kingdom; for Asura, the only place where he could find happiness was with his family.

"Honey."

"Father!!!"

Hearing his wife and daughter's joyful calls, Ashura's face relaxed. As his daughter Misra ran towards him, he gently hugged her.

The joyful cries of his daughter in his arms upon seeing him return, and the gentle smile of his wife before him, brought this man, who had just weathered a great battle, back to his own haven of tenderness.

Ashura, who was always brutal and spoke with his fists, gently stroked his daughter's hair with the hands that crushed his enemies, soothing her heart.

As Yaksha watched this scene unfold, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

“Honey, I’m so glad you’re okay, and... welcome home.”

Durga smiled gently and followed, half-squatting down to touch her husband Ashura's face before opening her arms to embrace her husband and daughter.

The scene of the family of three embracing each other was very heartwarming.

"Well, I'm back."

Feeling this warmth that he could never tire of, Ashura hugged his daughter and wife tightly.

Defeating Buridora meant another twelve thousand years of peace, and Asura could finally feel a little more at ease about the safety of his family.

After that, he could just continue as usual, fulfilling his duties as a divine general while also enjoying a pleasant time with his wife and daughter.

"Lord Ashura..."

But just then, a voice came from behind Ashura. Upon hearing this voice, Yaksha's expression changed slightly, while Ashura, disturbed, turned his head to look in annoyance.

Then they saw the Yin Master, who resembled a puppet, respectfully addressing Asura:

"The Divine Emperor wishes to see you. Please proceed to the audience chamber as soon as possible."

Ashura had just returned home and was about to have to see that old man, Emperor Storada. Although he didn't show anything on the surface, he was very unhappy and unwilling inside.

He hasn't been reunited with his family for long, so why is he being summoned so urgently?

"It must be about defeating Britaraja."

Misra looked at his father with great joy and told him what the God-Emperor might want to do by summoning his father.

As Ashura's wife, Durga naturally noticed her husband's displeasure, so she spoke softly:

"Go, my dear, and come back soon. We can't keep His Majesty the God Emperor waiting too long."

"I see...."

Hearing his daughter and wife's words, Ashura could only go and return as soon as possible.

Compared to the so-called reward from the God Emperor, he preferred things to be like this. No reward could compare to his daughter's happy smile.

Ashura slowly left his home, and Yin Master followed behind him.

Yaksha watched Ashura's disappearing figure with a melancholy expression, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

He knew about Deus's plan, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Couldn't they have given Ashura a few more days?

"...Durga, I'll be leaving now too."

With a heavy heart, Yaksha turned to look at his sister and niece, then sighed and took out the Golden Mask to put it on.

"Brother?"

"uncle?"

Looking at their brother/uncle's somewhat somber back, Durga and Misra felt that something was amiss.

Even though he had won the battle against Buridara, why did he, Yaksha, have such a gloomy aura at this moment?

Meanwhile, after Ashura and Yaksha had both left the mother and daughter, a kilometer away atop a divine kingdom tower, Sergei smiled.

With a light leap, his figure fell from the top of the tower.

------

Top of the flagship in outer Earth orbit.

Besides Ocas, Olga, Carlo, Skadi, and a few others stood there waiting for something.

Skadi, wearing a golden mask, gazed silently at the beautiful and enormous Earth.

The battle with Bridhara had just ended yesterday, and the divine kingdom, which should have been celebrating, has encountered another change today.

Ashura, who was fighting alongside us on the front lines yesterday, will be branded as a traitor today. Those unaware of the truth might easily associate this with the situation of "the rabbit is killed and the hound is cooked."

"despair---!"

Suddenly, a heavy footstep sounded. Olga and Carlo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yaksha wearing a golden mask walking towards them.

Olga raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile appearing on her alluring face. She probably knew what Yaksha was going to say to her.

"Olga, why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at Orga, who was also one of the Eight Gods Generals, Yasha walked to a distance of two meters and said in a deep, questioning voice, "We just defeated Bridora, and now we're going to carry out that plan today? We clearly have plenty of time!!"

They just suppressed Buridora yesterday, and today they're going to carry out that extreme plan.

With a full twelve thousand years, Deus's righteous cause has such ample time, why can't Ashura and Misra have some time as well?

The people of the divine kingdom have long and long lives. Not to mention years, can't we even give Asura a few days' grace?

"Heh, the Great Reversal Plan is now unstoppable. Yaksha, you must know that every day we delay, when we face Buridora again in 12,000 years, our chances of winning will be one point smaller."

Faced with Yaksha's questioning, Olga crossed her arms, a playful smile on her face, and said in a tone that was both disdainful and tinged with anger:

"Moreover, even if Lord Deus is willing to give Ashura time, that God Emperor is not willing to give Lord Deus time. That old bastard even wants to dismiss Lord Deus from his position as commander-in-chief of the Divine Kingdom Army, which is simply unforgivable!!"

Olga wasn't the type to cause trouble, but she was so infatuated with Deus that she wanted to support him both personally and professionally.

Furthermore, it will ignite a fierce flame of hatred towards anything that stands in Deus's way.

The God Emperor didn't even give Deus time, so what spare time could Deus possibly leave for that Asura guy?!

"......"
