Brahm was still conscious. Before the Virtue Stone had released its full power, he had summoned the last of the destroyed Book of Pluto’s magic power and exploded it.

[Sensed danger.]

[Magic suitable for the current situation is being searched for.]

[Wavering Fire God]

The Book of Pluto was a collection of the entirety of Brahm’s knowledge, including the knowledge of the otherworld, so the magic emitted was a lot more powerful than what Zeus expected. Unlike the weak connotation of the word “wavering,” the magic Brahm created had the ferocity of continuous fiery storms that burned one to the soul. Large columns of fire that could crush several plants successively blazed towards Zeus.

Realizing the situation was precarious, Zeus urgently put his hands together and established a thick shield around him. However, he had to continue creating shields as they kept on breaking down. Crash…! When the seemingly endless firestorm finally settled down, Zeus spat out blood and released his black burnt shield.

“What a shame. I would’ve been able to swallow him if he was a bit closer.” Zeus wet his lips with his red tongue. The portal that Brahm had opened was already closed, so he had successfully escaped.

Even though it was regretful, Zeus wasn’t worried. He felt Brahm’s divinity being destroyed at his fingertips, so it didn’t matter that Brahm had escaped. “He won’t be able to stop Gaia’s Curse, and I can always swallow him up after he loses all his strength.”

Dark lunacy glimmered from Zeus’ jewel eye. The surviving consciousnesses of the supreme gods he had secretly devoured were shouting at him, but they would be quiet soon enough.

Zeus turned his body in another direction. Now that he already chased Brahm away, who was one of the biggest obstacles alongside the Jade Emperor on his path to becoming the only god, it was time to swallow all the others.
