Chapter 343 – The Only God (4)
Michael continued to move forward. Moving around the world, filled to the brim with curses and poisons, he erased everything that touched his burning light. There were no threads of light that came from Elo Katra, but that didn’t matter. Michael was light, and could generate light by absorbing magical power.
Placing the mass in the light, adjusting the speed, and even increasing the destructive force by concentrating it in one place, was quite possible for him. Why has he focused on other knowledge and martial arts up to this point? He could only focus on one thing.
[Greed.]
[Come.]
[Greed!]
[You’re almost here.]
[ZAAAADNOOOOOUT!]
When Michael shouted, emitting light, the curtain in front of him was raised, and a giant castle appeared… This was the first time Michael saw such a strange scene.
[I’ve always been waiting for you. I’ve been waiting all this time.]

[Fool. You are just a greedy and arrogant beast. I can see where this is coming from.]
[Can you? Ahahahahahaha.]
The world is shaking. This was probably the influence of the power of Greed in his world. Michael suddenly realized that this was the enemy’s world, and he himself was going against the Leader of this world.
But he did not retreat. He will kill Greed, and subdue Elo Katra, along with Heaven. Heaven will become his, and he will put an end to the rebellion of Yu “Il” Khan, and he will take the life of Satan. He will not allow the rest of the factions to do what they want.
Heaven must remain one and only faction. Since he was the only God, all beings must follow him. It must be at the very top of existence.
[Show yourself, Greed.]
[Come yourself. Why? What are you afraid of?]
[Afraid?]
Michael laughed.
[Is this a feature of the Demon Army of Destruction? Is it so shameful to beware? It seems that only your tongue has received the appropriate training, insolent beast. Fear is what the weak feels when going against the strong. You escaped as soon as you attacked Heaven. Even if you went back there to consume them, it would look like a coward who is scared.]
[Come in then. ]
The lock was opened. Abyss. Even 7th grade will be unable to do anything here, due to the sheer mana density. However, Michael accepted this with a proud expression on his face and used light.
[Let’s look into your eyes.]
[You don’t need to. You can call me a robber.]
Michael’s light has melted into the darkness of the world. He burned every curse and poison, purifying them and making them his own. In a second.
[I will take all your strength away.]
Michael attacked at the speed of light. The darkness that seemed to consume him all fell apart as he approached his enemy and all spatial distortions in the castle melted away.
Michael saw Greed face to face. An ugly monster whose whole body was chained to the wall. A lump of greed of unknown origin, a fusion of almost all kinds.
He was subconsciously angry. He didn’t like the fact that he had to use all his might against this heinous thing.
[It’s been a long time since then how you tried to bite me in heaven. Time passed and you became even more disgusting.]
[Oh, you remember that time… so sorry. If the other factions hadn’t helped Heaven, I would have done it without any problems.]
Michael’s eyebrows twitched.
Yes. Heaven did not block the GIFT on its own. Sunset Garden, and the Army of Dazzling Light helped them. More precisely, they helped everyone they wanted.
If you don’t think about Satan, since he came out of Heaven, he did not understand why the Garden of Sunset helped them at the time. Now he understood. The head of the Sunset Garden was Gabriel. Even knowing this, he still felt like a complete fool…
[* Crunch *.]
Michael directed his anger towards Gabriel, the enemy in front of him. Gabriel could be taken care of later. Right now, he needs to kill this freak.
[Fight me, Greed. It’s time for divine punishment.]
[Why do you… just try it!]
Along with the cry of Greed, dozens of metal chains appeared from the ceiling of the castle. It is unknown what they were made of, but the blood that turned pale and the blackish purple poison made Michael feel uncomfortable.
He immediately emitted light to block everything, but the attacks of the Leaders were anything but ordinary. They don’t block that easily. Greed laughed at Michael when he saw his attempts.
[Is this your light? Weren’t you shouting that you will remain “one and only” or something?]
[ZHADNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]
The light emitted by Michael has become stronger. Higher energy light spread everywhere and blocked the metal chains that hung from the ceiling, floor, and windows.
[Child’s play… hack!?]
Along with the sounds of chains, Greed threw out his left hand! This was not just a physical overwhelming attack. The suction power within him was consuming all the mana around him.
The light released by Michael was no exception. The ability to absorb energy, just in one move! This is what made Greed the leader of the Demon Army of Destruction!
[But…]
Michael hit with a fist enveloped in light. His fist was like a toothpick compared to greed, but in fact, he managed to absorb the energy again and push it away!
[You’re not the only one who can steal. You stupid beast!]
The reason the Four Great Archangels plus Satan were able to cast God out was not in Satan, and not in Gabriel, and not in the healing of Raphael, and not in the exceptional strength of Uriel.
This is because Michael was born with the power of theft, as Gabriel’s prophecy said, he avoided using it as it didn’t suit him, but it was stronger than anything else.
[I know…. I know that very well!]
[Then you should know that your power is useless against me!]
[Not at all! I! Must! Devour! Everything! The living and the dead, and even the chronicles of this world!]
The fist collided with the fist as the two exchanged countless blows. It was a dimension of strength. Metal chains that sprout from different parts of the castle constantly threw themselves at Michael, but he easily erased them with five pairs of wings.
[You are weak, Michael! You’ve become weaker! Did this power work against Yu “Il” Khan!]
[Weaker? I? How dare you say that you could hardly compare with me after devouring everything with your gluttony!]
Michael snorted, but couldn’t avoid the shock inside himself. Did this guy know that his power was weakened?
“When we were chasing God, I lost some of my power as compensation for the betrayal… I was able to restore it thanks to the acquisition of God’s power… but yes, my abilities became weaker.”
Even with the power of theft, it was impossible completely steal God’s power. However, the fragments of God’s power that he acquired in exchange were stronger, so he did not know about it. Since the power of God was what pushed him to become a Leader, he didn’t care much.
[This is enough to defeat someone like you!]
[I will devour everything you have!]
The castle exploded. Tens, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of chains attacked Michael. The ancient metal that made up the castle disappeared and turned into countless spears that attacked Michael, and even the wall that Greed had been nailed to collapsed and he freed himself.
The giant freak was big enough to fill the world. He attacked Michael from above.
[Since this is Armageddon, I don’t have to hold back anymore!]
[Insolent beast!]
In less than 1 heartbeat, the light spread around. The glitter that made Greed close his eyes! The metal chains melted, along with the spears, and all the fragments of the castle disappeared.
Thanks to the strong shockwave from the magical power, the environment was completely devastated. Every time Elo Katra’s parts lost their shape, a part of Greed’s giant body also melted, but it seemed like there would be no end.
These two didn’t even look at each other, they only used full force to take the enemy’s life.
[You and I are alike, no?]
Greed suddenly said. Michael snorted, denying it.
[Are you comparing a firefly to the sun?]
[You gave a good analogy. Yes, our current relationship is really like a firefly and the sun. The firefly emits light on its butt, thinking it is the brightest, but how ephemeral is the light? The tiny light that can be absorbed by the sun only lasts for a few days. The life of this tiny insect cannot be compared to that of the sun, and it is doomed to die.]
[Thanks for the clarification, firefly.]
Michael suddenly opened his eyes.
In the past, maybe he would have been afraid of strong magical power. But not now.
The main world of the enemy? It is important? He was here and shone the brightest. Where Michael was, and there was his area. Light was everywhere, and light was under his command. All creatures were his!
[I have to tell you that I am the sun!]
Michael became even more glowing. The one who surpassed all the chronicles used all his magical power, turning it into light!
The speed with which Greed melted became even faster. Despite this, Greed did not hide his joy. Since Michael gave up his original power in order to achieve a stronger light, Greed’s own power successfully restored his power to a greater extent.
And when this power has reached its peak…!
[Fade into oblivion, Greed! Silly firefly!]
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!]
When Greed cried out, the light that filled everything instantly disappeared. Michael panicked and tried to release him, but found it was impossible.
No, he can release light, but it disappeared into the moment when you appeared, it was like falling into a black hole.
[You’ve made a serious mistake. You shouldn’t have desired what you couldn’t get. You should have focused on what you already have.]
[What…?]
It took a second for him to realize that his light had been absorbed.
Did you eat it? Its light? Greed? It was so overwhelming that he couldn’t even believe it. How is this possible? How?
Then he learned about the existence of another person who remained within the boundaries of the castle even after Greed’s body disappeared.
Possessing the light of Michael, man was still determinedly trying to absorb everything that Michael emitted.
[… Father.]
Michael muttered incredulously.
Greed, that is, the former God of Heaven, opened his mouth in an evil smile, and responded.
[Yes, my son. This is me.]
