Chapter 100
(A heartbeat. Then silence.)
SNAP!
GBIM!!!
GBIM!!!
The sound was sharp like the sky itself cracked.
Zephrael eyes widened... What is this!
Suddenly, the light vanished.
The world went black.
The air turned cold and thick like tar.
The divine sky of Idgar faded into nothingness.
Even the sound of their breathing was gone.
The gods blinked in confusion yet saw nothing.
No horizon. No ground.
Just endless, suffocating darkness.
Then THUMP.
A single step echoed.
(BOOM… BOOM… BOOM…)
Something vast was moving through the void.
A wind of pure dread brushed past their faces.
Then the darkness began to shift.
Shapes appeared…
Towering bones that floated in the air, like the ribs of a dead world.
Rivers of red light flowed upside down, dripping into the sky.
And at the far end of this abyss… something glowed faintly gold.
It was her.
Arin.
Her body shone in the blackness terrifying and divine.
Arin sama seraphae whispered deeply
Her eyes burned with endless patterns of gold and violet, rotating like galaxies.
Behind her stood countless shadowed wings some bright, some made of writhing hands.
Her voice echoed from everywhere and nowhere.
"Welcome…" she said, slowly, calmly.
"…to my dimension."
Her words alone bent the space around them.
The gods of creation felt their powers flicker like candles before a storm.
Gath, god of seasons looked.. ooi varhl are you kidding me.!
Varhl, god of chaos, looked around wildly, his jaw trembling.
"This… this can't be impossible!"
Isaka, goddess of flames, gritted her teeth. "Where… where are we?"
Her flames tried to light, but the fire died instantly. The darkness swallowed it whole.
She gasped, backing away. "My flames won't burn?!"
Arin's gaze drifted toward her... It's futile!
"This is my world," she said softly.
"Here… your power doesn't exist."
Varhl clenched his fists, his voice shaking.
"Then… this is !"
He stopped mid-sentence, realization slamming into him.
He whispered, barely breathing:
"The Domain of Arin… the Absolute Plane."
The others froze.
Even the strongest among them Kaelrus, Tyrak, Seraphae felt their divine essence flicker.
Their wings shook. Their light dimmed.
Now then shall we begin!!
And then… Arin moved.
Slowly. Gracefully.
She lifted one hand.
The air screamed.
Her hair rose like waves of gold fire, and her eyes glowed brighter, drowning the darkness in blinding light.
Her voice dropped, layered and divine, echoing across the void.
"Now…" she said, pointing toward them each of the nine remaining gods.
Her voice rolled like thunder:
"Come… let me show you what true power looks like."
(KOOOOOM!!!)
A shockwave burst from her fingertips.
The entire dimension bent.
Mountains of light appeared from nowhere, crashing through the sky.
Rivers turned to blades.
Even time slowed, trembling under her will.
The gods flinched, taking battle stance, their eyes wide with fear and awe.
Kaelrus shouted, "Everyone! Form a barrier now!!!"
They began to chant divine words but their voices broke.
Their spells shattered halfway through.
"Wha ?! Why isn't it working?!" Isaka cried.
Arin smiled.
"Because here…"
She raised her glowing hand again, the nine golden eyes flaring open behind her like a crown of suns.
"…you are in my reality."
Didn't I tell you?? You will all die here !
(FWOOM!!!)
The darkness twisted into a vortex of gold and black light, devouring everything around them.
The gods screamed as the air shook with her laughter a calm, echoing sound that felt both beautiful and horrifying.
"Now then,then 9 golden rings began circling behind her back and she said softly.
"Let's the fun begin…"
Now the sky rumbled. The earth groaned. The air itself was alive with dread.
"Tadashi! Tadashi!!!!" Kael's voice cut through the chaos, heavy with urgency.
Kael what's going on
There's no time Tadashi they've come
Tadashi's eyes widened
Then ran outside
SOUND THE ALARM RUN TO THE VILLAGE UNDERGROUND SHELTER!!!
The wind howled around them, whipping through the village square as the guards rung the village bells, tadashi face was pale and frightened. The very clouds above were bleeding light streaks of gold tearing through the sky like open wounds.
Tadashi!! Kael screamed.
Kael sprinted toward him, his chest heaving. He looked nothing like the calm villager Tadashi had always known his eyes burned with worry and something else… determination.
"Kael!" Tadashi responded, his voice shaking. "What's happening?! The sky it's tearing apart!"
He pointed upward, his hand trembling as cracks of light split across the heavens. From within those cracks, something vast was stirring.
Kael gritted his teeth and grabbed Tadashi by the shoulder.
"There's no time to explain! You need to take cover now!"
"What..?"
"We just need everyone to hide underground for now Get the children, the elders everyone! Tell them to take shelter!"
"Kael," Tadashi's voice quivered, "why have they come here?! Why would the gods descend to a place like this?!"
Kael's grip tightened.
His eyes shifted up toward the skies, where divine light rippled like thunder trapped in glass.
"They're here for her."
Tadashi froze. "Her…?"
Kael's jaw clenched. "Arin."
For a moment, Tadashi couldn't speak. His lips trembled as realization struck.
"The gods… are at war?"
Is she okay???
Kael nodded grimly.
"There's a war between Arin and the other gods of creation. But I believe she's fine..... She assured me no harm will come to the village but we need to move Incase something ever happens
Tadashi stumbled back, fear flashing across his eyes. "I understand LET'S GO!!."
Kael shoved him saying..I'll be right behind you !"
Tadashi didn't hesitate anymore. He turned, climbed on his horse back with his wife and kids running as fast as the horses legs could could carry him, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Everyone, take shelter! To the caverns! Move, now! The gods are here!"
And then commotion began
RUN!!!! RUN!!!! The villagers screamed
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!!
They all rallyed as they seeked shelter underground
But behind Kael, two young voices broke through the wind and chaos
"Father!!"
Kael turned sharply Januza and Azerin stood there, their faces pale, eyes wide.
The reflection of the fractured sky shimmered in their eyes and above them, the image of Arin still burned in their minds: her divine form towering, radiant and monstrous .
"M…Mother…" Januza whispered, his voice trembling.
"What… what was that?"
Azerin's eyes were filled with confusion. "Father, what's going on? What was that light? Who is mother?"
Kael took a deep breath. His hands shook. "There's no time for this now, we have to move..."
"Is what the villagers say true?!" Januza cut in, his voice cracking. "That we're cursed?! That she's a demon?! Tell us!"
Kael froze. The words hit him like a blade to the chest.
Azerin stepped closer, desperate. "Are we cursed, Father? Is that why the sky's falling?!"
Kael looked at them really looked at the fear, the doubt, the longing in their eyes.
He dropped to his knees, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.
"No," he said, firmly. "You hear me? You're not cursed. You never were."
"Then why why is she fighting them?!" Azerin demanded, tears welling in his eyes.
"If she's not evil, why are the gods coming for her?!"
Kael's voice softened, though fear still edged every word.
"Because… your mother is one of them. But unlike them, she chose to protect us."
Both boys went silent.
"She's fighting for you," Kael continued, his voice shaking but strong. "For us. For everyone here."
Januza's lip trembled. "Then we should go help her!"
Kael's eyes went wide. "No! You will do no such thing!"
He stood, his tone fierce. "You two are going to run. You'll head straight for the village caverns and you won't look back. Do you understand me?!"
"But "
"Do you understand me?!"
The boys flinched and nodded.
Then, in the distance, a blinding flash of gold split the sky apart.
A massive shockwave followed, shaking the village so violently that houses cracked and trees bent.
Arin power was to great, that it was affecting the planet despite fighting in her own dimension and kael felt it.!
Kael turned toward the heavens, where the clouds twisted violently, collapsing inward like a whirlpool of light.
"She's begun…" he whispered.
(Sound fades. The void hums.)
Then...GBIM!
Everything turned black.
The gods of creation looked around in panic their surroundings were gone.
No sky. No ground. No air.
Just a shifting, pulsing ocean of darkness that felt alive.
Where is she!!!
"W–where are we?!" Isaka, goddess of flames, cried. Her hands burst into fire
or tried to.
The flames flickered out instantly. Nothing remained but smoke.
"What—what's going on?! My flames…!"
Varhl's sharp voice cut through the chaos. "This can't be! This place...this is her domain!"
He clenched his fists, sweat running down his brow. "We're inside her dimension…"
From above, a cold, calm voice spoke.
"You finally understand."
All of them looked up and saw her.
Arin.
She hovered above them, her hair flowing in an invisible wind.
Nine golden rings spun slowly behind her, each humming softly, their glow illuminating the void.
Her eyes blazed gold and blue .
The power radiating from her presence alone made even the gods tremble.
"Arin-sama…" Seraphae muttered, her voice small.
Arin's lips curved faintly.
"Welcome," she said, her tone chilling yet beautiful.
"Welcome… to my world."
She lowered her hand slowly and space bent.
The gods stumbled backward as their bodies felt heavy, crushed under invisible gravity.
Varhl's eyes widened. "Our powers… they're being suppressed!"
"Suppressed?" Arin's voice echoed like thunder. "No."
Her gaze hardened, her voice dropping to a whisper of steel.
"It's futile. Your powers don't work here."
(BOOOOOOM!!!)
A shockwave of light exploded outward, throwing the gods apart.
Isaka tried again to summon her fire, but the moment she did, the flames bent backward consumed into the air itself.
Seraphae gasped, drawing her blade of light. "Arin-sama, you"
Before she could finish, Arin appeared before her in a flash (SHHHHT!)—and Seraphae's words died in her throat.
Her body froze midair.
Her eyes went wide.
Then (FLASH!)
Her entire form shattered into motes of light, erased completely.
"Seraphae!!" Kaelrus screamed. "No!"
Arin turned toward him slowly, her eyes cold.
"You should have stayed in heaven, Kaelrus."
Kaelrus gritted his teeth, summoning lightning across his blade. "You talk too much!"
He charged his form turning into pure light as he struck.
(CLANG! CRACK!)
Arin caught his sword barehanded.
The collision echoed like a thunderclap across the void.
Kaelrus's eyes widened. "Impossible!"
Arin tilted her head. "Slow."
Then—(SHHHT!)
She twisted his arm, snapping it with divine precision, and before he could react—
Her palm glowed with blinding energy.
"Erase."
Kaelrus vanished in a flash of white light, leaving only silence.
Two gods down.
Next!!
The others stepped back in horror.
My power!! I can feel my power!! Tyrak exclaimed
Tyrak, god of wrath, roared, his body igniting in crimson flames. "You'll pay for that!"
He raised both hands, summoning meteors that burned with divine wrath
Arin didn't even blink.
She simply exhaled.
Her breath just her breath ,disintegrated the meteors midair.
I told you your powers don't work here!! Why did you think u we're able to do that!!!, it's because I allowed you to...
Tyrak's face froze in disbelief.
Then, in a blur, Arin's hand pierced his chest, her fingers gripping his divine core.
Tyrak choked, eyes wide. "H–how…"
Arin leaned in, her whisper colder than ice.
"I told you. Futile."
(CRACK! FLASH!)
Tyrak exploded into dust.
Varhl and the remaining gods staggered backward, trembling.
Every motion Arin made was effortless, graceful but each gesture erased worlds.
The void echoed with silence and death.
"How… how is she doing this?!" Varhl muttered, panic creeping into his voice.
"She's not even using full strength this isn't possible!"
Arin tilted her head, her expression unreadable.
"Still counting?" she asked softly.
Then her eyes flashed gold.
(ZUUUMMM!!!)
Nine divine symbols appeared beneath her feet, glowing like burning suns.
One by one, the remaining gods screamed as their forms distorted and erased completely
The void grew quiet.
Only Varhl remained.
He fell to his knees, trembling, unable to breathe.
His voice cracked, desperate.
"W....
"What are you?! How can you have so much power?! You should be weak ! You shouldn't have this much power!!"
Arin's eyes burned brighter, her voice calm, absolute.
"Varhl… do you know why I'm the strongest?"
Her body rose slowly into the air as the nine golden rings behind her began to rotate, their light flaring.
Each ring pulsed like a heartbeat.
"Do you know why I command creation… and destruction?"
Do you think you are the only god here
Have you ever wondered who created you!!!
Varhl shook his head impossible!!, tears streaking his face.
"Do you know why I am the strongest of all ," Arin whispered,
I am one of the greatest fragment of the supreme diety! One of the 12 disciples of the supreme..
"I am what came before the gods. The mother of existence. The one even heaven feared."
You think I am weak!!!!
The rings spun faster and faster, the void shook, trembling under her divinity.
Her power was overwhelming, a storm of color and silence.
There are more like me!! In different universes
Whereas I.. command this universe!!
Varhl's voice broke. Impossible!!"S–Stay away! STAY AWAY!"
Arin raised her hand, eyes narrowing.
"Do not forget who I am."
(FWOOM!!!)
Varhl screamed then vanished.
No blood. No body. No sound.
Just erasure.
The light faded. The void stilled.
Arin stood alone, her body glowing faintly, her eyes dimming with exhaustion but still burning with divine grace.
Arin lowered her head, whispering softly to herself:
"For them… for my sons… I'll protect this world, no matter the cost."
