Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Beneath the abyss, a dense, reddish-black mist, thick and filthy like a murky mudflow, shrouded in gloom.

Anti-Genesis!

This is the special power of the mother goddess Tiamat to refresh the world, capable of completely destroying all creations born in the old era, until it devours the entire world.

Therefore, even if Apsu were to achieve domination and command over the world through land and water systems, it would all be in vain against this unparalleled power.

The so-called "authority" of the Father God, who tyrannically rules over all things, naturally pales in comparison to the Mother Goddess's great work of reshaping the world.

"Arei!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Samael roared behind him.

The land's mistress's expression turned solemn, and she immediately brandished the gun wheel, inserting the tip into the soil.

"Heaven has its desolate seas, earth has its prisons, and my heel is the wrath of the underworld! Reflect on your actions! — Embracing the Spirit Peak, the Heel of the Underworld!"

Instantly, the earth trembled, the abyss rose, and the howling, struggling red and black light mist, along with the entangled land, was uprooted and rose into the area covered by the anti-genesis barrier.

Even so, Apsu, the father of creation, was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death. He gathered his divine essence into the form of a dragon beast and roared and struggled madly.

"Ishtar!"

Samael pointed forward coldly, his face sinister.

"Alright! I've received a lot of care from Father, so of course I have to repay him!"

The vengeful Heavenly Mistress immediately beamed with joy, piloting her celestial vessel and ascending into the air.

"Ma'anna, the gates open! The concept of Venus converges, from the great heavens to the great earth—shatter, mountains shake, starlight's embers!"

My Abif Temple! My Uruk!

My dear Maanna was almost seriously injured in the accident! And I also owe compensation for my emotional distress!

Pay with your life, Father!

Ishtar arched her body in an exaggerated arc, pulling the Skyship Maana to its limit. Then, a thick beam of light pierced through the black dragon-shaped mist, blasting it into tiny fragments.

"Aaaaaa!"

The mother goddess Tiamat immediately began to sing a loud hymn, and the black sea of ​​life flowing from beneath her body quickly rose up to capture and envelop every wisp of Apsu's divinity.

"Roar…"

This creator father struggled and fought desperately, trying to break through the erosion and reshaping of the Sea of ​​Life.

However, the surging tide of chaos, with its forceful and resolute manner, completely engulfed it.

When the torrent receded, a fleshy, ferocious red-black dragon beast was solidified into a complete life form, its liquid divine foundation coalescing into the beating heart in its chest cavity.

Apsu, who had been given a renewed sense of life, experienced a sharp contraction in his pupils.

As one of the two creator gods of Mesopotamia, no one knew Tiamat's terror better than him.

Having been covered and assimilated by her sea of ​​life, one's own divinity means that once one rises from it and is reborn, it will be absolutely impossible to defeat the creator who gave life to this body.

Apsu, showing signs of fear, immediately turned around and tried to flap its wings and escape.

However, a distant song drifted from behind, and a beam of blue-red magic swept across the sky.

The world-destroying dragon, which had risen into the air, was cut in half at the waist, its heart split in two.

Crimson and black blood, mixed with dissipated divinity, splashed freely onto the scales and feathers of the mother goddess Tiamat.

That's too brutal, too brutal...

Samael stared at the lifeless remains of Apsu on the ground, gradually disintegrating into dust, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He swallowed hard, and even his gaze toward the mother goddess Tiamat carried a hint of guilt.

In the ancient serpent's memory, the Mother Goddess was always kind and gentle, possessing all the qualities of a wife.

But at this moment, he clearly sensed the inexplicable anger and irritability coming from the other end of the thread.

It seems that some of Apsu's actions have truly angered the Mother of Origins.

Just as a certain rebellious son with ulterior motives was about to step forward to appease the slightly irritable Mother Goddess, the jewel-like figure suddenly froze and emitted a sharp cry.

The ground exploded, and the black tide that erupted beneath the mother goddess Tiamat swept the three Noah's Arks thousands of meters away.

At the same time, the thread connecting Samael's consciousness trembled violently, and a short, sharp shriek exploded in his mind.

"go!"

The consciousness of resonance instantly deciphered a word that was out of tune.

Mother Goddess is in danger!

Samael's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he transformed into a two-legged dragon, crashed out of Noah's Ark, and rushed towards the figure in front of the Great Rift.

hum!

However, before he could get close, a desolate and vast resonance came from above, the sky suddenly darkened, and the endless Milky Way hung upside down and rotated.

The terrifying pressure made Samael's body feel incredibly heavy, instantly slamming him into the ground and creating a cone-shaped crater several meters deep.

In the moment he struggled to lift his head, Samael was shocked to see strange golden threads appearing on the emerald scales and wings of the mother goddess Tiamat.

This thing resonated with the light of the starry river, gradually tightening and embedding itself into the flesh and bones of the god Tiamat. The painful wails traveled along the anchoring line into the brain of the ancient serpent.

Wait! Those golden lines are... blood!

Apsu, the blood of the mixed primordial divinity, spilled!

A trap! This is a trap set for the Mother Goddess!

Samael's mind was in turmoil as a terrible thought began to grow wildly in his heart.

At the same time, countless starlight from the abyss of the universe fell, intertwining with each other at a single point, and finally coalescing into a golden figure holding an ancient clay tablet in his left hand and a battle axe horizontally in his right.

The giant looked down with disdain, the thunder subsided, and the mighty power of a demon rolled in.

Chapter 156 All Gods Deserve to Die! (4/4)

"Hmph! Humans, sinners born of filthy blood, how dare you destroy the temples of the gods!"

The golden colossus's voice was like thunder, shaking one's mind and instilling feelings of guilt and fear.

Immediately, the phantom pointed into the distance, and the crack that pierced through the Temple of Aa disappeared. The torn building was pieced together and rebuilt as if time had reversed.

"However, the three storms and the seven days of calamity have washed away the sins from the earth,"

"Humans, step off the ship. I forgive your sins and will bless you, the chosen people, and grant you permission to establish a new paradise here."

"This is the decree of divine grace..."

"I am Marduk, the King of Kings!"

God of all gods! King of kings! The true ruler of the Mesopotamian world!

The survivors, their hearts pounding, were paralyzed and barely able to move under the hellish divine might that filled the sky.

In an instant, under this suffocating pressure, Marduk's final forgiveness and grace stirred within them an urge to worship him amidst their extreme insecurity.

Is the disaster really over?

We survived, can we rebuild our city and country?

But then, the golden colossus that descended before the Temple of Aa looked down at Tiamat, who was entangled in golden threads, his eyes narrowed and his tone cold.

"But those who willingly degenerate and worship evil gods and idols must be punished!"

“I, the King, grant you the opportunity to repent. You sinners, now draw a line between yourselves and the harmful beasts that this world cannot tolerate, and you will receive divine grace.”

"Those who defy the will of Heaven will surely be punished by Heaven!"

To betray the goddesses? To betray their mother? The humans crawling on Noah's Ark instinctively clenched the idols in their hands.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, countless swords, spears, and halberds pierced the sky and shot towards the figure in front of the Temple of Aea.

Meanwhile, the Hero King, holding a hand axe on his left and the royal seal on his right, carried golden vortexes connecting to the Babylonian treasury on his back. A vortex of ether swirled around him as he soared into the sky, looking down upon the supreme deity of the Mesopotamian world.

"Judgment? You don't deserve it!"

"The morning star in the sky, all things on earth, and all living beings in the world belong to the king!"

"Release the Bull of Heaven, curse my friend, unleash a third storm, and brew a seven-day calamity—who gave you permission to extend your claws and touch my private property!"

"If anyone is to be convicted, it will be by royal power that you rotten bastards will all be sent to the execution ground!"

"All gods deserve to die!"

With a cold, sharp shout, Gilgamesh swung his right hand axe toward Marduk's golden projection.

Overcome!

The King of Kings slightly raised his eyes, merely glancing at him with disdain, and the hand axe stopped in front of him, then shattered and disintegrated inch by inch.

However, before anyone knew it, Gilgamesh had descended upon Tiamat, immediately unfurled the Seal of Kingship, and slashed his arm, pouring golden-red blood into it.

In an instant, countless bands of light composed of wedge-shaped runes descended, enveloping the Mother of Origins.

The insidious, dense golden threads embedded in Tiamat's flesh and bones snapped and dissolved one by one.

"Gilgamesh!"

Realizing he had been tricked, Marduk roared in fury, raised his hand to grab the Destiny Tablet on his right, and wanted to punish him.

But at the same time, shouts echoed from all around.

"Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Enkidu, who had burst through the air, extended several chains that intertwined and entangled from the emerging golden vortex, wrapping around the King of Kings.

Leonidas burst open the hatch of Noah's Ark, took a running start, and in the instant his body was stretched to its limit, his bulging right arm swung out a spear, which was covered with bluish-white lightning.

The five goddesses, Ereshkigal, Ishtar, Anna, Kukulkan, and the leopard-man, followed closely behind, launching attacks from different directions.

The white-haired succubus, who was the first to shout the slogan, was the last to wave his wand, casting layers upon layers of illusions on his teammates in an attempt to confuse Marduk's senses.

Humans were created by Marduk and were powerless against his divine might.

Therefore, the only ones who can still act now are these heroic spirits and demigods.

Even with such an unexpected combined attack, Gilgamesh's brow furrowed in worry.

Standing in the sky, the Hero King once again cut open his arm, using divine blood to frantically activate the Royal Seal, attempting to untie the threads of fate binding Tiamat before friend and foe came into contact.

Because no one knew better than him how terrifying the King of Kings was.

"Heaven's Mandate - Dispel!"

At this moment, a cold voice rippled outwards, carrying a strange rhythm. Pink and white petals scattered in mid-air, and the people who had been enveloped by the illusion were suddenly revealed.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Merlin coughed up blood, his entire body swaying like a reflection on the water's surface amidst the tremors.

Wow!

Enkidu, who arrived first, unleashed the Chains of Heaven, tightening them toward the King of Kings.

The higher the divinity, the stronger the binding force. This is a divine weapon that even works against Apsu, the creator father, and it will definitely buy Gil enough time…

The green-haired beauty suppressed her instinctive trembling, gritted her teeth, bent her fingers forward, and grabbed at the air.

"Destiny - Deprivation!"

However, Marduk ignored the imminent threat, and with a cold snort, casually drew a wedge-shaped rune on the Destiny Plate.

A profound and obscure rhythm reverberated, and the Heavenly Lock, which was touched, immediately lost its luster, turning into ordinary iron, and dragged the pale-faced Enkidu down with it.

Kukulkan, riding the Quetzalcoatl, immediately swooped down and caught the green-haired beauty who was rapidly falling to the ground.

"Mountains are awe-inspiring, stars are shining!"

"Embracing the Spirit Peak, the Saddle of the Underworld!"

Ishtar and Ereshkigal, who stepped forward together, immediately drew their bows, brandished their spears, and unleashed their strongest attacks.

"Hmph! Rebellious Gods! You have no reason to exist anymore!"

Marduk's gaze was cold and sharp as he raised his hand and erased two divine names from the Destiny Tablet.

"puff!"
