Chapter 10 - Surprise after surprise

"First seal: The ashes of God,"

CRACK CRACK

The sword of Destruction God started to break. Multiple cracks appeared on the blade that ran through the whole blade, continuing to break and form a web-like design. Then, finally...

SHATTER

The blade shattered into multiple small pieces, almost looking like small stone pebbles.

SWISH

The small pieces of the God slayer started to swirl around the God of Destruction before suddenly coming to a stop for a second. Then, they shot straight into the dark, eerie universe.

The Elemental Goddess and the others stood there, not understanding the God of Destruction's actions, which confused them. But it was not long before they would understand, as the Elemental Goddess's face turned from confusion to one of pure anger.

"You bastard, why did you do that?" she asked in anger.

This made the confused Dragon God and Vampire Goddess worry.

...

Back on Earth

"Where have they disappeared?" a random God questioned, standing in the place where the Heaven children were fighting just moments ago.

"They all disappeared after that strong influx of energy," the Silver Dragon said, his expression one of confusion.

"Maybe the Elemental Goddess used her space element to teleport all of them somewhere else to avoid causing destruction to Earth," one God speculated.

"Hmm," the Silver Dragon hummed in acknowledgment. "Indeed, that sounds quite plausible," he said, finally feeling somewhat relaxed.

"Huh, what is that?" one of the Gods standing in the crowd said, pointing his finger at the sky, where multiple small shining things were making their way toward them.

One of the small pieces, which was ahead of the others by quite a lot, was now close to a God who was flying in the air. It went toward him at blinding speed.

"What is this?" he said, looking at it. "It looks like som...," but before he could complete his sentence, the shard of the blade moved swiftly, slicing the flying God into multiple pieces.

SWISH SWISH

And everyone's blood ran cold at what they had just witnessed.

THUD

The pieces of the God fell to the ground with a loud THUD, bringing everyone out of their shock. The next second, chaos erupted as every God turned around to run, not even thinking of fighting. But alas, running away was never an option, especially in their current state.

SWISH SWISH

The pieces of the sword moved swiftly through the air, slicing every single God into multiple pieces.

'Is this really the end of us?' the Silver Dragon thought before also getting sliced into multiple pieces.

THUD

Now, in a place where there was only destroyed land,

Now lay multiple bodies of gods.

The shard of the sword stayed there hovering for a second before suddenly falling to the ground.

And that day, every single God on Earth was killed, turning that place, where a God's blood flowed like a river, into a place soon to be known as humanity's biggest fear and a Calamity. But that would happen in the future.

...

Back to the Elemental Goddess

"What happened, third sister?" the Vampire Goddess asked worriedly.

Hearing the Vampire Goddess, the Elemental Goddess calmed herself and answered in an eerily calm tone. "He killed every single God on Earth," she dropped the bombshell.

And the moment they heard that, their faces filled with confusion, disbelief, and finally anger.

"You bastard! What are you after?" the Dragon God screamed, not understanding his actions. Just a while ago, he had used 50 percent of his life force to create a shield so the universe wouldn't get destroyed. But now, he had killed every single God on Earth.

"Oh, didn't I already tell you? I just want the destruction of everything," he answered in a second.

"But then why did you create that shield?" the Vampire Goddess asked.

"Well, that was because I like to savor the destruction I cause," he said. "For example, there is a small world like that planet Earth. I wouldn't go and straight up destroy the planet. Instead, I would first destroy the humanity, its people, civilization, and then finally, when there is nothing left, I would destroy the planet. It's the same for the universe," he said, as if it were the most common and normal thing to do.

And the Dragon God and others, instead of being angry at him, were shocked. Was this guy really their brother, the one they had spent millions of years with?

A guy they had once called "brother"?

They all were lost in their own thoughts, but it wasn't for long before the God of Destruction spoke again, bringing them out of their deep thoughts.

"Anyway, it looks like you three are soon going to die," he said, as he saw the three of their bodies slowly withering away into white particles. His body was also the same, withering away slowly.

At his words, the three of them finally snapped out of their thoughts and looked at him before looking back at their bodies.

"Indeed we ar...," the Dragon God stopped mid-sentence and looked back up at the God of Destruction, pointing a finger at him. "What do you mean by 'us three'? You're also going to die—look at yourself!" he said.

"You have also used all your life force, leaving nothing behind like us!" the Dragon God said, his mind in shock and disbelief.

"Yeah, you're right. My body is indeed withering away, and soon my soul would also be gone. But unfortunately for you," he said, raising his left hand in front of his face. In that hand was a simple ring—just a round metal, nothing extravagant. The ring soon shone brightly before suddenly, a cup appeared out of nowhere in the Destruction God's hand.

The cup was made of gold, with many intricate designs on it. It also had four red diamonds embedded in it, looking majestic.

The moment it appeared, the God of Destruction took hold of it and spoke, "Indeed, I would have also died with you all if I didn't have the Soul Cup."

"One of the four primordial weapons. With it, I might not be able to save my body, but my soul definitely can."

"And so, second brother, third sister, and fourth sister, goodbye. You would definitely go to heaven with your good deeds... Oh, wait. There is no more heaven, since it's dead. I guess you all would be going to hell. Hahaha!" he laughed manically at his own joke.

And this time, the Dragon God didn't feel a simple hate where they just wanted to kill him and take revenge. No, this time, they wanted to torture him to death.

They wanted to torture him for eternity.

They despised him with their whole being.

It was the same for the Elemental Goddess and the Vampire Goddess.

But unfortunately, they could do nothing more than curse him as their lives slowly came to an end.

"YOU BASTARDDDDDDDD!"

"YOU PSYCHOPATH!"

"YOU MONSTERR!"
