Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 408 408
Since no one else spoke, Derik nodded in satisfaction before turning around to leave. In his opinion, his actions had actually the desired effects. He could always play the good and hardworking child and with his knowledge and powers, he could excel in anything he wishes to do, earning everyone love and admiration but this path is not the one he is ready to walk. This path is time consuming and tiresome to him. As the god of death, he is arguably the most vicious being to ever live and honestly, he would really put in a lot of effort if he were to play the good guy here.
To deal with this, Derik decided to play the role he was always born to play. The role of an antagonist!
In his opinion, love can only go so far but fear is what keeps the world running. The word is yet to go all out against each other, not because of love but because they are scared of their enemies’ military might. In his opinion, fear is more effective than love!
………………………………
Derik and Cyrus shot backward while weaving numerous layers of defenses to keep the beyond at bay but even their best defensive techniques could not buy them more than two seconds.
They were going up against a being that even true gods like them would call a monster.
Puti!
Derik spat out a mouthful of blood as his blood as he placed his hand on the wound on his chest. His immortal body was not working, his injuries were not healing and his godly blood was flowing out uncontrollably. His vision blurred but he could barely see the darkness with countless eyeballs and razor-sharp teeth in all parts of its body approaching. The beyond was like a black storm with twinkling lights within which looked like stars and when gazing at it from afar, it looked like a black worm made of black smoke. Compared to the beyond, Derik and Cyrus were like ants looking up to a giant but even then they showed no signs of fear. Even with the fatal injuries they sustained in battle, none of them showed any sign of fear, instead, they fought even harder!
“Since this world has turned its back on us, we will turn our backs on it as well!” Derik growled like a mad man.
He let out an inhuman cry as his hands slowly moved in a circular motion. Behind him, a massive spatial gate slowly appeared and soon a whole new world of the dead was revealed to everyone.
Swoosh!
Like a black hole, the spatial gate released a powerful suction force that slowly consumed everything in the world. Ever since the death of the guardian spirits, this world has been in a chaotic situation at all times. The absence of the guardian spirit of death meant there is no one to lead the souls of the dead to the underworld and as a result of this, countless souls of the dead wandered across the surface of the earth aimlessly.
As the spatial gate pulled in more souls, Derik’s aura grew in power as well. Blood rolled down his cheeks all the way from his eyes as he could hear the cries of the people who once believed in him, seeking justice against this cruel world. He bit his lower lips as he heard Gerald, Donald, Karl, and Daemon cheering him on, even if they still had faith in him. They believe he would be able to defeat the beyond and avenge their deaths.
“Master!”
“Derik”
BOOM!
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”
Elsa and Blink’s voice reached his ears and almost instantly a pillar of darkish green aura exploded from Derik’s body. His eyes revealed his killing intentions as he gazed over the world, seething with anger and rage. Suddenly the suction force from the gate was tripled as all the magic beasts in the world were been pulled in and soon all living things in the world were forcefully pulled towards the spatial gate as well.
With each soul consumed, Derik’s power rose and it didn’t take long before his power soon reached the upper limit of the true god realm.
He was trying to break through into a realm which only the beyond has taken a step into!
“YOU MONSTER! DIE!” The beyond finally panicked and quickly dived down towards Derik.
The main reason Derik and Cyrus fled back to this planet was so that they could rely on the power of faith which they can gather from the people of this world to strengthen themselves and face the beyond but since these people betrayed them, Derik chose to swallow them all whole and use their souls to strengthen himself for a final showdown.
“Kill him? You will have to deal with me first!” Cyrus roared as he shot towards the black storm heading towards Derik.
The beyond voice was like a thousand voices overlapping each other but even then Cyrus and Derik showed no fear. As long as they can win, as long as they can survive this battle, they can recreate everything with their godly powers. They can bring back their dead friends and lovers and create a world with no more pain or sorrow.
The perfect world where they will be the sole gods! The legendary guardians of this new world!
Swooosh!
BOOM!
Cyrus quickly transformed into a beam of dazzling golden light, fearlessly crashing into the black smoke. Two forces entangled, slowly merging into one as the two beings within the mixed aura’s clashed with each other viciously.
With each blow thrown at each other, the world slowly crumbled under their power but Derik didn’t look bothered at all. Cyrus understood their dream and goals and for that dream, this world was no longer needed since they planned to build a new one from scratch. His only worry now was that Cyrus may not be able to hold out long enough for him to break through completely.
“I can only have faith in him!” Derik said decisively, after giving the matter some thought.
He sat in a cross-legged position as he focused on pulling in more living beings into his realm and using them to improve his cultivation.
“Sure enough, you are powerful but can you really hold out against Cyrus and me all alone?” Derik said with a hint of contempt on his face as he felt a strange force trying to repel his suction force.
The beyond was trying to stop him from consuming all life on this planet!
