Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)
chapter-501

"S-Senior…what is the meaning of this?" Damien asked as he put up a terrified and confused tone.

"Ha! Do you seriously think my divine self is stupid to believe the lies that were coming out of your teeth? A mere mortal like you wouldn't behave so strangely calm in the presence of someone like me. Instead, you should have been standing before me with your knees shaking, and your back bent till your nose touches the ground. Yet here you are, standing before me as if you were just talking to some old man. What did you take me for?" Yohr's words were strong enough to send tremors through Damien's mind, and he felt as if he might lose his mind any second if Yohr continued like this.

He had no idea even the voice of a god could be this powerful and have the power to shatter his mind despite having cultivated his soul to a certain level.

But he realized that he might have overdone it, especially by obscuring his heart and soul pulse.

A soul pulse was similar to the pulse of a heart in the sense that his soul energy would have certain vibrations whenever he had drastic emotional changes. And he did feel that he might have appeared too calm for a mortal who was interacting with a god.

But he couldn't really blame himself since he had quite gotten used to meeting such otherworldly beings and was already in constant touch 24/7 with two divine beings in his soul plane.

Because of that, his mentality was no longer that of an ordinary mortal who would bow in reverence the moment he came in the presence of a divine being but instead had the ability to converse with them just like talking to any other normal person.

This was not only a psychological change, but the presence of two divine beings in his soul plane had made his soul undergo gradual changes to the point that his mental fortitude and resilience had increased.

Otherwise, with the subtle soul force, Yohr was exerting on Damien before, Damien would have already had his mind broken and listened to whatever Yohr wanted, and it would be no different than being mind-controlled.

This was one of the huge differences that set gods and mortals apart. With just their voice, they can make mortals succumb to their tune and have them do whatever they want while giving them the illusion of free will.

Only now, Damien realized that Luna never took advantage of him despite being a goddess herself but instead negotiated with him even if there was no need for her to. This made him feel lucky again to have a bratty yet cute goddess in his soul plane.

However, right now, he didn't have the luxury to think about these things as his legs had already buckled, and he was kneeling on the floor because of the infinite pressure he was feeling.

He was feeling as if his body, mind, and senses were getting drowned in this ocean of pressure.

"Now…you better obediently listen to me unless you want your soul to be crushed. It seems that you know more about the Origin Seed in your body than you are letting on. What other secrets are you hiding inside your body, boy? Stop resisting, and I will spare your soul. Otherwise, be prepared for eternal damnation, and you can even forget about meeting your girl, Reva, ever again. Heck, if you force me to kill you, I will even tell her that you were a demon in human's disguise who tried to fool her and took advantage of her. Even if she might not believe it at first, don't you think gradually she will come to accept it considering how I have been nurturing her since the moment she was just a small child? Can you imagine how it would feel to be loathed and hated by someone you love? Do you seriously want that?" Yohr asked as his voice continuously became heavier and heavier to the point Damien felt as if his soul plane was forming fractures.

He could feel as if he was losing control of his will bit by bit, and instead, it seemed like his own mind was telling him to give up and listen to Yohr.

"Get your silly head out of the gutter, Damien Godwin! Weren't you the one who said you were even prepared to go against gods and whatnot. Why the hell are you giving up now?" Luna's high-pitched voice suddenly pierced through all the pressure he was feeling on his soul and regained some clarity of his mind, realizing how close to giving up he was without him knowing it.

"I had enough of this bastard. Here, eat some of my soul force as well!" Luna shouted in an incensed tone as she raised her hand and reversed the soul force that was pressuring Damien's soul plane at the cost of her own energy.

Even if it would mean that she would take a longer time to recover, she couldn't let anything happen to Damien here.

"Arghh!! Impossible! What is this in your soul?!" Yohr suddenly cried out as if he was heavily wounded and was shocked since his own soul force struck him with double the initial strength!

How the fuck was this possible?! This boy was only just a mortal, and yet he used my own divine soul force against me?

Yohr felt as if somebody inserted a knife through all his heads and had to let go of Damien because of the piercing pain he was feeling in his soul that was already weak enough for someone like him.

"That bastard…he is holding one of my Shards!" Luna suddenly shouted in a shocked tone and with a hint of excitement as well.

Damien was shocked as well and asked as he recovered his senses, "What?? One of your divine shards? Do you mean one of the four fragments of your soul? But…how?"

"I knew it…Didn't I always tell you I could sense one of my shards in this continent…this was it! This bastard had been hiding it inside his own soul plane…It's time I shed some blood…" Luna said as her voice suddenly became soul-chilling enough to make someone feel like their soul was being cut through.
