Chapter 394 - Chapter 394 - Epilogue

When the essence of Michael was completely plundered and digested by Samuel, who was in the main universe, the remaining archangels and apocalyptic knights met the same fate.

In the blink of an eye.

Leon had single-handedly dealt with the high-level combat forces of the Heaven Plane.

Moreover, the archangels and apocalyptic knights, including Michael, had not even had a chance to use their full power before being instantaneously killed by Leon.

It could be said they died in a very "frustrating" manner.

If they hadn't underestimated him from the beginning, or if they hadn't thought that more vs. one would guarantee victory, perhaps they could have lasted a few more seconds, or even tens of seconds.

But reality was what it was. Michael and the others turned into minuscule nutrients that fueled the Emperor's psionic powers.

At the same time, the psionic energy originating from the Emperor's genetic source, as well as from the various legions' "think tanks," also grew in strength with the Emperor's psionic increase.

However, the growth wouldn't be very noticeable unless the Emperor absorbed a massive amount of psionic energy—comparable to or even equal to that of a demonic god.

"Trash."

At this moment, Leon still wore a look of disdain as he watched Michael's body being reduced to ash by golden flames.

After all, Michael's appearance resembled that of his older brother, Saint Gillis.

Moreover, Leon had grown up living and playing alongside Kiliman and Saint Gillis, learning from his father and adoptive mother, Alexia, as well as receiving a fair share of beatings.

So, although Leon was annoyed that Kiliman and Saint Gillis's legions earned merit, he still regarded those two genetic sources as true brothers in his heart.

In contrast to the younger brothers who later descended, like Horus and Magnus, Leon always felt some distance from them.

Other genetic sources, upon first meeting Leon, would think of him as cold, aloof, and distant.

That was why Leon got genuinely angry when he saw Michael, who resembled Saint Gillis and was also the "chief warrior of God."

The very idea of a trash-like being surviving, looking like his brother, was nothing short of "an ultimate disgrace."

Fortunately, Leon wasn't one to let such small matters cloud his judgment.

After dealing with all the trash in front of him, Leon tilted his head slightly, gazing at the sky that had been "pierced" and "shattered" by his father's gunfire, before speaking again.

"Come out."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a seemingly ordinary figure appeared behind Leon without him noticing.

!!

Even Leon, who was usually calm in the face of sudden events, showed a hint of surprise as he instantly turned around, stepping back to maintain distance from the seemingly unremarkable figure.

At the same time, Leon took in the person's appearance.

It was an elderly man with black long hair and a beard, a kind and gentle face, wearing a pure white robe.

However, Leon immediately deduced that this old man possessed power far surpassing that of Michael or Gabriel.

In the "One Three" universe, various forms of corruption and miracles were essentially similar to psionic energy.

And Leon could use this knowledge to directly assess the strength of beings from Heaven and Hell.

But he couldn't read the old man in front of him.

Thus, Leon concluded that the old man's strength was far greater than that of the archangels Michael and Gabriel. His identity was becoming clear—he was none other than the God of the "One Three" universe.

"Child," God walked toward Leon at a slow pace, his voice, as peaceful and serene as his appearance, said:

"You and your brave warriors have without reason..."

Rou~——!!!

But before God could finish his sentence, Leon, without warning, launched an attack, creating shockwaves and sonic booms with his great sword, sending them exploding outward.

However, the Lion King sword didn't cut through as effortlessly as usual; God easily dodged it.

Boom——————!!!

The great sword missed, and its blade hit the ground, causing the forest floor to tremble violently with a deafening crash.

Rocks, wood, and soil scattered in all directions, and if seen from above, it looked like a giant "lotus flower" was blooming.

When the echoes passed, the area struck by the Lion King sword had formed a shallow pit more than fifty meters wide, with a depth close to ten meters at the center.

The surrounding trees, with a radius of several kilometers, had been uprooted or flattened.

The sword strike Leon made was equivalent to the destruction caused by a tactical metal-hydrogen missile.

The difference was that Leon's strike didn't create a mushroom cloud.

At this moment, Leon, whose hair was still neatly styled, stood at the center of the pit, looking up at God floating in mid-air.

Leon's eyes revealed an unusually serious expression.

Although that last attack was merely a test, far from Leon's full power, it had revealed that God's speed was clearly faster than his.

Most importantly, God could "fly."

While his personal power armor had magnetic levitation and short-range propulsion, it still had a significant gap compared to God's freedom of flight.

If Saint Gillis had been here, there would have been no "flying" weakness.

"Child, you're so young, yet so temperamental."

God, having easily dodged Leon's strike, remained calm. He continued with a tone full of echoes:

"You've cleared my traitors and cleansed Hell of its filth, so theoretically, we could cooperate."

"I also know that your human Empire needs the faith of humanity, so there is room for negotiation between us."

"But you came into Heaven, slaughtered my creations, and destroyed my world. This is truly intolerable."

As God spoke, his black hair began to flutter more vigorously, and his eyes filled with eerie blue light.

Then, God's hands began to crackle with lightning, and the sky darkened as clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

"."

Leon felt the temperature drop rapidly, and his breath turned to mist.

However, his expression remained unfazed as he slowly returned the Lion King sword to its scabbard. Then, he drew a large-caliber explosive-handgun, or rather, a hand cannon, from the gun holster on his right leg armor.

The hand cannon was beautifully engraved with intricate designs and the emblem of the Dark Angel Legion, its barrel shaped like a roaring lion.

From the materials and craftsmanship, it was clear that it was forged from high-grade secret silver alloy and crafted by legendary dwarven artisans.

In this situation, melee weapons were useless, so Leon decided to forgo close combat and go for a ranged kill.

With the same name, "Lion King," he pulled the hand cannon from its holster, raised it with one hand, locked onto his target, and pulled the trigger, the entire process fluid and efficient.

Boom—!

As the trigger was pulled by Leon's left index finger, the deafening gunfire echoed throughout the forest, shaking all of Heaven's creatures.

A 3.0-caliber (76.2mm) explosive round shot out at high speed, heading straight for God, who was clearly gathering energy and preparing.

!!

God's increasingly twisted expression froze for a moment, but in an instant, he reacted and successfully dodged the explosive round.

However, the explosive round, upon realizing it had missed, started to adjust its trajectory and quickly attacked from behind.

!!

This maneuver forced God to abandon using the full force of the Heaven Plane against Leon and focus on dodging the tracking explosive round.

Leon wasn't foolish enough to just stand still.

Boom—Boom—Boom—!!

He continuously pulled the trigger, emptying the magazine, and then swiftly replaced it with three more new magazines, emptying all the ammunition he had on him.

Forty-eight explosive rounds danced through the air, rapidly reducing the space in which God could dodge.

It seemed that even though God, being in the Heaven Plane, had teleportation-like abilities, he still required time to activate them. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to play this game of "wits and evasion" with the explosive rounds.

And that was precisely why Leon took the opportunity to empty all his ammo.

Several seconds after all the rounds had been fired—

Ri~——Swoosh——!!

The first explosive round hit God in the back, causing a mini "golden sun" to appear in the sky.

Boom—Boom—Boom—!!

The remaining explosive rounds exploded almost simultaneously, causing the "golden sun" to grow larger and more explosive in scale.

The next moment.

Heaven seemed to be engulfed in golden light, and the entire plane of Heaven began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

This made the angelic cannon fodders, who had been charging aimlessly toward Athena and others, stop their suicidal advance.

Of course, it wasn't because they cared whether God was harmed or obliterated by the "golden sun," but because the shockwave from the explosion had sent them flying.

!!!

Seeing the shockwave approaching, Athena quickly planted her Victory Spear into the ground, using the remaining fraction of her divine power to create a barrier large enough to cover the entire area.

She loudly commanded, "Everyone prepare for the shockwave!!"

In fact, the Dark Angels and Grey Knights, who wore powered armor, had already deployed their energy shields.

As for the Greek demigods, lacking power packs, they had infused all their remaining divine power into their armor, creating a shield similar to Athena's.

Finally, the seemingly powerless Serin stood behind Athena.

This meant that once the barrier was lifted, the Greek demigods would immediately fall into a weakened state due

to consuming most of their divine power.

"Be ready."
