Chapter 554 Regrowth

Tenma and the other god stood around in shock, the gigantic frozen gate and Rowan were gone, and the blood of the universe was raining down in this position, coloring space red for endless miles.

Reality shuddered and with alarming speed, everything was being replaced. New worlds and stars began to bloom from the ashes of what was left, and the massive tear in space faded away.

The blood of the universe was not just a method for it to express pain, it also served as a method to heal its wounds.

It was rare for such an event to occur, and it showed the degree of shock in the hearts of the gods that none of them tried to fight for a bit of this blood, as their troubles weighed on their minds.

From the regrowth, twelve new greater planets emerged, all of them were Minor Worlds, a miracle born from the remnants of so many destroyed lives.

It was a sign that although destruction was something terrible, but without it, there was no way for something new and better to emerge.

The Cerulean Galaxy was stronger as a whole, but who would reap the benefits from these newly emerged Minor Worlds was unknown.

As suddenly as this whole debacle had started, it suddenly ended.

"What the fuck is that…" Shario cursed, her flaming blue skin peeling away revealing her pudgy self underneath, and she was bent at the waist vomiting blood.

She pushed herself back to a proper standing position, feeling a bone-deep ache that reminded her of being a mortal all those long years ago. A chill wind of doom blew across her spine and she shivered in dread.

Her mind was in chaos and pain filled her spirit, the reason for that was apparent when you looked inside her Divine Kingdom.

Her Divine Kingdom had been a lush and vibrant space, where creatures of light and fire frolicked, their songs and worship to her great name never ceasing, and their love for her was absolute.

Everything had changed for the few seconds she had spent viewing the frozen gate.

Eighty percent of the life inside her Divine was extinguished as a white flame that seemed both real and unreal had swept past her Divine Kingdom and left it a frozen wreck. freewebn(o)vel.com

The flames did not last for long; else everything would have perished, the ice it left behind collapsed and brought everything to dust, and Shario noticed that the Divine Energy inside everything the flame touched was gone.

Her very foundations had been destroyed to an alarming degree, and such a loss would be unimaginable for her before now.

She had no way of getting it back, her powers had drastically reduced to their barest minimum, and she was left confused and devastated.

Right now, she was no stronger than a Minor god, and from the looks of every god around here, they had all experienced the same issue. They were like helpless mice before the cat, and this weakness in her Divinity nearly ate her soul alive.

If she could, she would be screaming, but she tried to place her mind in order. She thought that perhaps if this was the price to pay for them to be free of this monster, then it was a worthy enough price.

Yet Shario's mind did not wander far, as she looked at Tenma who appeared heartbroken, but his eyes were fixed on the planet, and she saw him licking his lips, and rage began to be roused in her heart.

This was not the look of someone who was truly devastated, he must have gained some other benefit that she was not aware of. Could this event that happened be related to him? Were they all his pawns to acquire something he had been craving?

Many decisions in this battle were poorly thought out, their leader Tenma seemed more willing to scheme for other benefits than to focus on the ongoing battle.

He had barely done anything of note during the fight, except to hamper their enemy's movement and she saw no reason why Tenma would do so unless he was fighting for some bigger stakes elsewhere and his full concentration was not on this battle.

No longer able to stomach her rage, she lashed out,

"Tenma, I understand that look in your eyes, you knew that monster, what is he? Did you drag this calamity to our shores?"

Tenma pulled his gaze away from the planet and seeing the look in her eyes and the demeanor of all the gods around, he rolled his eyes in exasperation,

"You don't think I have any sort of connection with this event, do you? I'm as shocked as you all are. Whatever happened here is one of the trials that will inevitably come our way as the ages roll past, and although we have all paid a painful price, it's done. We have survived it… we can return to our Kingdoms, and from the ashes of what is left, we shall slowly rebuild. We are gods, we are eternal, and the problems we face are beyond what any mortal can comprehend."

His words were having a visible effect on the gods, and Tenma did not stop there, his voice grew louder

"Yet, I do know that for some of us, this is not enough, the affront to our dignity, to our bloodlines, to our thrones can not go unchecked, although we retreat for the moment. Mark my words, we shall make that monster pay a terrible price, we shall…. Yrffus, what is wrong with you?"

One of the female gods had gone pale and she staggered as if she was drunk, and then her eyes widened, and she coughed,

"Tenma… I don't…"

She suddenly screamed and her body exploded into ashes that spread for miles, her horrifying death cries lingered.

"What?!...."

Tenma was dumbfounded, and then another god exploded with a scream, and another, and in a short while, four gods were dead!

This was not their corporeal form being destroyed, this was their Divine Spark, the seat of their will, being annihilated!
