Chapter 248.2

As I spoke, the entire ground shattered with a resounding crack.

Floating in the air using , I looked down as an enormous rift opened beneath me, from which countless crystal spears surged forth.

I tried to seal the rift with , but the crystal spears effortlessly slipped through, piercing me. ƒrēeReadNovelFull.com

In the next moment, crystal spears emerged from the surrounding buildings.

From the canopy above, more crystal spears appeared, launching in unison from all directions—up, down, left, and right.

As the spears relentlessly chipped away at my body one after another, the clock tower in front of me seemed to detach itself, floating in the air before rushing toward me with its sharpened roof aimed like a spear.

Countless crystal spears wrapped around my body, binding me tightly, as the clock tower’s spear came crashing down with crushing force.

Blood poured from my entire body.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve bled this much.” (Anos)

But the black blood of the Demon King caused the clock tower’s spear, as well as all the crystal spears around me, to rust and crumble away, turning into black dust.

All that remained of them was dark rust.

“You said everything here would result in the worst outcome for me, right? That the worst of days would befall me.” (Anos)

I raised my hand and drew a multi-layered magic circle.

I layered them like a turret and pointed them at Naphta.

“Your power is indeed impressive. But if you’re strong, then there’s magic I can use too.” (Anos)

Dark particles began to spill out from the magic circle’s turret.

“Every miracle imaginable will a.s.sail you. I sentence you to despair.” (Naphta)

Countless crystal spears attacked me again, but the moment they came into contact with the surrounding black particles, they broke into pieces.

Fire, water, lightning, earth, trees, the canopy—everything in the world attacked me.

It was like a miracle unfolding.

Yet, I kept every bit of the world that bared its fangs at me at bay.

“Using Origin Magic, I borrowed power from the Demon King of Tyranny Anos Voldigoad of two thousand years ago, the G.o.ddess of Creation Militia, and the G.o.ddess of Destruction Abernyu.” (Anos)

With that, I added my own current magic power on top of it.

“This is a forbidden spell, not meant for normal use. Even I have only ever used it twice.” (Anos)

The pitch-black particles swirled like living creatures, wrapping around the turret of magic circles.

The crystal world began to crack and collapse.

“Therefore, when you open those eyes of yours, make sure you control the restrictions well. Once I release this spell, even the world of Kandaquizorte will be destroyed at worst.” (Anos)

The G.o.ddess of the Future turned to me, speechless.

“Because if you fail to control them, all of the real world will be wiped out along with this one.” (Anos)

The black particles formed a seven-layered spiral around the turret.

A bottomless fissure appeared in the crystal ground beneath us.

The crack stretched beyond sight, literally splitting the restricted world in two.

“.” (Anos)

Flames of doom were fired from the turret of magic circles.

A seven-layered spiral of dark flames roared forward, surging straight ahead.

Perhaps due to Kandaquizorte ‘s protection, the flames of doom pa.s.sed through Naphta’s body as if it were intangible.

It reached the far horizon, and then, the entire world was engulfed in flames.

The canopy burned, the horizon burned, the ground, the mountains—everything burned, turning into black ash.

This spell, though it surpa.s.sed the spell, wasn’t cla.s.sified as the highest-level fire magic.

One reason was that no one but me could wield it, and the other was that it merely looked like flames, but it wasn’t truly fire.

It burned what should not burn, destroyed what should not be destroyed, and reduced all of heaven and earth to ashes.

It was, without a doubt, a magic of destruction—the type that I excelled at.

Before the flames of doom, the restricted world turned entirely into pitch-black ash.

As the ash was carried away by the wind, revealing the reality hidden beneath, Naphta and I found ourselves back in front of the Great Holy Gate.

“Hmm. It seems you finally decided to get serious.” (Anos)

Naphta, cradling the Future World Crystal in both hands, had opened her eyes.

As the G.o.d who governed the order of the future, she couldn’t allow the world’s possibilities to be shut off.

She must’ve gazed into every possible future to restrict my spell.

“In other words, the battle is over.” (Anos)

Naphta nodded quietly.

Cracks began to form across her body.

“…I, Naphta, declare defeat. No matter how much the future is restricted, zero cannot become one. Not a single future exists where you would be defeated.” (Naphta)

A sharp crack echoed, and the body of the G.o.ddess of the Future was covered in countless fissures, gradually breaking apart.

No matter how much she tried to limit it, as long as she faced me, her only future was one of ruin.

The conclusion of the future brought Naphta closer to her end.

G.o.ds couldn’t defy order.

Perhaps that’s why Naphta chose to keep her eyes closed, because she didn’t want to see this outcome.

“That’s why you should’ve listened to my prediction from the start.” (Anos)

I turned my mauve-dyed Magic Eyes toward Naphta and slowly walked toward her.

I covered Naphta’s eyes with my hands, as if to close the door on the future.

The disintegration of her body came to a halt.

“No matter how many billions of miracles you pile up, you will never reach my worst future.” (Anos)
