The Goddess of Light and Justice is captured by Anna Grace, while Long Yuyan dismisses the gods' claims of divinity. Long Yuyan and Anna Grace reveal their immense power, easily overpowering the God of Earth and the Goddess of Wind. The God King challenges Anna Grace but is intercepted by Yuan, who swiftly defeats and kills him. Yuan then turns his attention to the remaining gods, decimating them.

"You’re the God of Earth... the one from before who sneak-attacked me. It was clever, but that kind of attack is nowhere near enough to harm me." Yuan spoke as he landed a solid punch directly on the face of the god.

Even though the god used earth to cover his entire body and created a barrier, Yuan’s punch easily broke through all his defenses and landed directly on his face.

The God of Earth was sent flying by the punch, his nose and jaw breaking as he crashed into the massive city wall with a powerful impact.

The wall didn’t survive the impact, and a large portion of it collapsed instantly.

This shocked all the remaining gods and the angels, their eyes widening in sheer disbelief.

’That was an ancient god, dammit! How powerful must one become to throw a punch like that?!’

The angels swallowed nervously, as they still hadn’t grasped the true depth of Yuan’s strength, and the same thing applied to the remaining gods as well.

Yuan focused only on his enemy, and within just a few seconds, the face of the God of Earth became completely unrecognizable.

The old man was in a near-death state from the punches alone, and the other gods were horrified by the brutality of the scene.

They felt a shiver run down their spines, knowing that shortly, it would be their turn to experience the same thing.

Unfortunately for them, there was nowhere for them to run. The only thing they could do was either wait for death or fight for their lives, knowing they would die either way.

"Would you look at this... so weak. Can’t even take a few punches... If I were to use my full strength, your head would have blown away like a melon." Yuan said with a soft chuckle, lifting the God of Earth by his neck.

"Agh!!" The God of Earth gagged, his face bloody and his breathing barely audible.

Crack! Yuan tightened his grip and snapped his neck, ending the life of the God of Earth, then tossed his body away like a piece of junk.

"Well, it was rather quick, and he didn’t even fight back..." Yuan muttered, with slight disappointment in his voice.

Then he looked at the remaining gods, and they immediately flinched as soon as they saw Yuan looking at them with a dangerous grin on his face.

"D-Don’t come any closer...!"

"Stay away from me! It won’t end well for you if you touch us!!"

The gods staggered backward as Yuan approached them. They were so terrified of him that they almost peed their pants on the spot.

"Hmph! Won’t end well for me, you say? Who is going to hold me accountable?" Yuan snorted coldly as he summoned his massive sword into his hand.

"Your King has already ended up dead at my hand... and it’s your turn. You all have to pay for all the atrocities you have caused in this world." Yuan’s voice was low, yet it sounded perfectly clear to their ears.

Every step Yuan took made their hearts jump into their throats, and they understood that there was no escape for them now.

Yuan didn’t give them a chance to say a word or let them attack him. He immediately swung his sword and sent a powerful sword arc toward them.

Slash! A sharp sound resounded, followed by multiple heads rolling across the ground. Their bodies also fell to the ground, trembling for a moment before becoming motionless.

This is the end... All the Gods have been erased from existence except for a few who weren’t present on the battlefield.

However, that doesn’t mean they will escape their fate. He will find them and kill them until not a single one remains.

The Goddess of Light and Justice was still alive, but the current state of her mind was in utter chaos. She appeared completely broken, her eyes now laced with endless sadness.

Yuan approached her, slow yet deliberate, and grabbed her face with a dangerous look on his face.

"W-Why keep me alive? Kill me as well, since you’ve killed everyone...." She spoke, looking at him weakly, as if she had lost all desire to live.

"You’re still useful to me... but most importantly, you’re alive because of Selvariel. If it weren’t for her, you’d be long dead." Yuan replied with a smile.

"You’re kind to her... but at the same time, you’re no less guilty than the others."

"Guilty? Don’t make me laugh... The lives of those insects mean nothing to me. I could crush them however I want." She sneered coldly.

She stared at him and continued, "Just like how you crushed us. It’s no different at all. The weak have no place in this world... you know it very well, don’t you?"

"Indeed," Yuan nodded and smiled, acknowledging her words. "After all, this is a world where the strong are always right."

With a weak smile, she asked, "Tell me... why did you attack us? What do you want from us? Just what do you want to prove by killing us?"

"I don’t want to prove anything... I simply attacked because you started it. It was the consequence of your own actions." Yuan replied with a calm smile.

"After all, every action has a reaction... However, it would be a lie if I said I only attacked you because you provoked me."

And he continued, "You see... this island is very special to me—to us. It has something that we’re desperately looking for."

’Just what could be in this continent that we do not know about? And why is he calling this continent an island?’ The Goddess of Light and Justice wondered inwardly, seemingly puzzled.

Suddenly, she realized something. ’It must be something related to the ancient civilization... I’m sure of it now that I think about it.’

"Meili, Xiaoyan, burn all the corpses with your flames... not a single one should be spared," Yuan said, turning to his two wives.

"Leave it to us." Both of them responded in unison and immediately unleashed their flames upon the corpses.

"W-What kind of flames are those...?!?!" The Goddess of Light and Justice was shocked upon seeing the two unique flames burning the corpses.

The flames terrified her as she witnessed how quickly they devoured the corpses, not even leaving any remains behind.

Furthermore, even though she was so far away from the flames, she could still feel the intense heat as though her body were on fire.

’These are definitely not normal flames... even the God of Fire can’t produce such powerful flames!!’ She cried inwardly, seemingly shocked.
