Chapter 328 - Deity’s Death (1)

When the item was completed, he habitually tried to open the information window and laughed. The Gaia system didn’t work here, and even if it did, it was no longer something to believe. However, he fully grasped the abilities of the artifact the moment it was completed.
“The name of the sword is Lucifer.”
The morning star that brought light, and the master of hell in the deepest darkness. So, this sword held both the power of light and darkness at the same time.
“I can activate this special ability without borrowing the power of the Dark Spirit.”
“Dark Spirit? Special ability?”
[Anvil.]
Gaia’s voice trembled a little, perhaps in recognition of the sword’s potential.
[Do you really mean to see the end of me?]
“After all this, did you think everyone would go home quietly? Gaia, that’s too greedy.”
In the past, when Kang Shin-hyuk dealt with the Godslayer, there had been a special ability that he couldn’t manifest. That was the ability [Dawn], born from combining the Sacred Sword originally possessed with the Sword of Chaos. He had been unable to use it due to a lack of his own ability, yet it had been born from the miraculous combination of the Godslayer and the Dark Spirit. How easy would it be to mix them together and complete the power of a god?
However, when he learned that it was the peak that the armament he created could reach, Kang Shin-hyuk continued to devote himself without forgetting about it. When he lost the Godslayer, he was discouraged by it at the same time; he felt refreshed. The Godslayer had been made for Janus, and the Dark Spirit was nothing more than a devil he acquired by chance. It wasn’t possible for him to treat Dawn as his own ability or achievement… And he couldn’t handle it before he acquired the Royal Dragon.
“Anvil… That sword…”
[…It’s weird. Anvil, what did you do? I can’t move.]
“It’s like the world has stopped.”
And, eventually, they reached this power. Although he added Gaia’s ability and Chiral’s power as materials, in the end, he had completely molded those materials with his intent and created them into a perfect shape.
“Dawn.”
Kang Shin-hyuk whispered that one word. It was the light of dawn that came in bright to push away the darkness. It was the power to change the world. In other words, it was the power that overwhelmingly buffed his trait, Royal Dragon!
“Junior…!”
“Whoo…”
The moment the special ability, [Lucifer], was activated, his energy resonated with it. Lee Na-hee, the closest one who had succeeded in capturing it even for a moment, and all the rest, including Gaia, looked at him unblinkingly as if time had stopped. In that stopped time, only Kang Shin-hyuk could feel the berserk energy and the transformation of his body and mind.
‘It’s hot…!’
His trait reacted to it once more. Perhaps for the last bit, he was evolving. It wasn’t simply because of the weapon’s special ability being expressed. Dawning meant understanding the special ability, creating it himself, and completely triggering it. Because of that, in the truest sense, the dragon took back his pearl, which had been stolen, and reached the sky.
“Ah…”
And time started to flow again. The evolution that went on for an eternity ended in an instant, and everything changed for Kang Shin-hyuk. He no longer had an ability that couldn’t handle mana. Probably, from the moment he awakened, he had thrown away all the conditions that were suppressed and were able to exchange and control mana with his own authority.
‘Maybe it was a little possible before the trait evolved. Royal Dragon was a force that could interfere with the world, but I blindly thought I couldn’t use mana, so I didn’t even try. It was stupid.’
What he was capable of right now wasn’t just dealing with mana. It was more fundamental than that, and it was possible to intervene in and take control of a much larger area. He had been able to take back what had been stolen, and the moment he did, the god who finally recovered to the passing of time opened her mouth.
[It doesn’t make sense.]
Gaia used the words that would go into the best three lines before a villain’s death. However, it was natural as she saw the black mirror pieces coming out of Janus and Loki’s back.
“This…!”
[Uhh?]
Both changes were dramatic. Janus immediately started to jump around full of energy despite wilting away a moment before, and Loki quickly shrunk like a balloon in the air. The two fragments that escaped from them melted into the black mirror floor.
“Anvil grandpa…!”
“Janus, are you okay now?”
“Look at me. I’m great!”
“Yes, yes. I never doubted it.”
However, now that the Chiral was gone, her once bewitching mood had completely reversed. Feeling purer now, he was convinced this was the Janus he always talked to in the Hero Universe.
“Wow… I don’t have any energy. Ha…!”
[How? It had united with the soul!]
Gaia shouted in disbelief at the sight of Loki, completely helpless on the floor. The situations had completely reversed from when Janus had Chiral in her.
“You shouldn’t be willing to handle other peoples’ things, Gaia. But I got it back so that I won’t say anything more about it.”
[Anvil, the armament in your hand looks very dangerous…!]
When Kang Shin-hyuk responded to Gaia sarcastically, she ground her teeth and glared at the sword in his hand.
“So you were trying to stop it, right? Unfortunately, it’s too late. Even if you break my arms, it can’t stop me.”
Anvil had been a transcendental person in his past life. Where would the karma from countless years of hammering metal and creating many miracles, curses, and god-killing objects go? All of it remained in Anvil’s soul, raising him endlessly. It would be natural that his soul didn’t go through a normal reincarnation. For the blacksmith named Anvil, the act of making weapons was also a practice to enhance his character. And as his noona had thought, his trait, which wasn’t a militant-trait, grew along with his metallurgy to eventually reach ascension.
‘However, in the previous life, only the soul was powerful, and the balance wasn’t right. This life was able to reach complete transcendence by adding physical training.’
After reaching the summit, he could see how natural it was to hold and swing the sword himself. When he had first regained his memory, there were times when he was worried about the gap between the young warrior and the old blacksmith, but in the end, it was what it was. It seemed like he came back a little bit because of one disturbance…
“Now that we have it all back, let’s finish this.”
[Loki, stand up!]
“No, it’s impossible. Did I fight hard? I want to stop soon… Guys, what if I surrender?”
“I won’t kill you.”
“That’s right. Maybe cut a leg off?”
[Loki!]
Gaia screamed at Loki’s complete change in attitude. That was right. Since Janus said she was a woman, not a man, they had already deteriorated the moment Chiral was embedded. In other words, neither Janus, who was active in Jormungand, nor Janus, active in the Hero Universe, was the original hero. It was the same for Loki, who had changed due to the Chiral.
“Now it’s like this: what will you guys do? Ascaldin, Cyactus…”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Anvil. Cycatus is already dead…”
“Ah.”
Cycatus belonged to the darkness, meaning he was naturally weak to light and fire. However, the ones who dealt with him were Kwati, who wouldn’t be pushed around by anyone when it came to fire, and Tsukuyo, who even surpassed Kwati. Since Gaia had only been aiming at Kang Shin-hyuk, her allies’ defense became weak, and Cycatus was destroyed.
“Really… Crazy. Are you really going to kill Gaia?”
Ascaldin remained calm as he stared them down.
“Be mindful. This is Gaia! If you kill the goddess, the order of the worlds will be messed up! You will no longer be able to show humans the way to grow!”
“But, let’s put it plainly, the Gaia system is also a tool used to promote trouble in advanced worlds.”
“It’s not that mana will disappear because there’s no Gaia system…”
“Eh? Gaia? Since when has Gaia been with the monsters?”
Some people had noticed Gaia’s identity by looking at the atmosphere of the battlefield so far, but all the members gathered became aware of the facts by Ascaldin’s words. Of course, they fell into confusion as he shouted at Gaia.
“Run away!”
[Huh… Are you saying I should run from here?]
“Or you’ll die. It would be better to talk in a calmer place later.”
[…I see.]
When Kang Shin-hyuk’s forging had been completed, Gaia had recognized that there was a high chance her head would fall off with that sword, so she finally accepted Ascaldin’s words and decided to escape. However, the moment she created a gate to her small world, she felt cold metal touching her neck.
[Janus, this is a stupid choice.]
“No, I live this way.”
The moment her body recovered, Janus’s power was arguably the strongest there, except for Kang Shin-hyuk. At a speed none could register, Janus reached Gaia in an instant by breaking through the many monsters and humans, trounced Ascaldin who tried to attack her from behind and put a blade through the gate. With it, the gate had been destroyed.
“To think why I was caught by you. I had one purpose from the start.”
[One…!]
The Godslayer was swung. Kang Shin-hyuk could’ve intervened in it or twisted cause and effect, but he decided to leave it alone.
As a result, the god’s head fell.
“It was a god.”
