Chapter 133: The End of Black Mud Devouring Everything
The Goddess's movements became fatally chaotic, her chained body trembling violently from the intense pain spreading through her divine form.
"NOW!!"
Kurtz seized this fleeting opportunity, his voice cutting through the battlefield as he sounded his final charge.
Orger erupted with unprecedented sword light as he poured every last drop of his magic into the blade, fully unleashing the Holy Sword's dormant power. This time, instead of manifesting as a light cannon, the energy transformed into a golden Blade of Judgment that hummed with divine authority.
Without hesitation, he struck down fiercely toward the wounded Goddess!
"Never!!!"
The Goddess's remaining left eye blazed with furious malice as she saw Kurtz's attack. Ignoring the searing agony in her ruined right eye and the burning divine power tearing through her essence, she forcibly raised her trembling arm.
Countless vile vines responded to her desperate call, instantly intertwining before her massive form to create an incredibly thick Dark Shield that pulsed with corrupted energy.
At the same time, she drew upon what little divine power had begun to recover within her battered form slowly, opened her mouth, and released something far more dangerous than any physical attack.
This silent shriek bypassed the material world entirely.
A shriek from the soul itself, ignoring any physical defense, the psychic assault struck directly at everyone's souls with the force of a divine hurricane.
BOOM!
The terrifying soul impact swept across the entire battlefield like an invisible tsunami of pure malice!
Kurtz, bearing the brunt of the attack at close range, spat out a torrent of blood while crimson blood began seeping from his ears and nose. The light blade he had unleashed wavered and blurred as his concentration shattered under the psychic onslaught.
Norn, Eric, and Somo simultaneously clutched their heads and cried out in agony, their souls felt as though they were being pierced by countless white-hot steel needles driven deep into their consciousness!
Serie and Olivia both grunted in pain, despite having managed to cast defensive magic the very moment they sensed the Goddess preparing her attack.
However, neither had expected the deity to unleash a soul-level strike that bypassed conventional magical defenses entirely.
Although their hastily erected barriers provided some protection, the psychic assault still nearly caused both of their minds to collapse under the overwhelming pressure.
Olivia struggled to raise her head, her silver hair disheveled and her breathing labored.
She understood that at this crucial moment, the turning point that would determine victory or defeat, every single action would decide the ultimate outcome of this desperate battle.
Thus, enduring the soul-level impact with resolute determination that burned brighter than her physical pain, she made a choice of final scarifice; she began burning the very light of her own life force.
Without a moment's hesitation, she launched herself between Kurtz and the Goddess, placing her fragile form at the very forefront of that terrifying soul attack to shield him from its full fury.
Her wings now burned with the most sacred and pure flames imaginable, the brilliant light of her life force itself being consumed to fuel her magic. The Skywing Clan was originally created by the Goddess herself to rival the Elves, who were blessed with lifespans that stretched across centuries.
But Olivia's selfless actions meant willingly sacrificing that precious longevity, starting an irreversible countdown on what should have been an almost infinite existence.
She spread her burning wings like the most devout martyr facing divine judgment, using both her rapidly diminishing life and unwavering faith to frantically activate the Life Magic Array that had been woven into her very essence since birth.
The tremendous power generated by this ancient magic continuously flowed toward Kurtz, strengthening his faltering attack while simultaneously creating a protective barrier around their entire group.
Under her life-burning strength, warm golden light showered down upon everyone on the battlefield, silently but effectively erasing the sound waves that had been strong enough to tear souls apart.
Thud.
Olivia collapsed weakly to the scorched ground, her once-radiant face now deathly pale from the massive expenditure of life force. Even her magnificent silver wings had turned a lifeless, ashen gray due to the catastrophic loss of vitality that had been drained from her very core.
Despite her weakened state, she still managed to support herself on trembling arms, raising her head with effort to look directly at the deity she had once worshipped with absolute devotion.
The divine being whose sacred body was now occupied by another's twisted will, leaving only her own just her will to resist.
"Olivia!" Kurtz reached out toward her, but the look in her eyes stopped him cold.
"Ahhh!"
The Goddess's remaining eye caught sight of Olivia's compassionate gaze, and something deep within the corrupted deity recoiled in horror.
That look seemed to penetrate through layers of darkness and corruption, somehow seeing the imprisoned will of the true Life Goddess that still existed somewhere within the possessed form.
This gentle gaze disgusted the Fertility Goddess more than Kurtz's blade ever could, and filled her with a strange, primal fear that she couldn't quite understand.
But it was Olivia's completely selfless action that ultimately brought Kurtz the precious opportunity he needed to deliver a god-slaying blow.
His scattered sword light began to re-condense with renewed power.
The golden Blade of Judgment, now empowered by Olivia's life force and strengthened by her sacrifice, suddenly surged forward with increased speed, literally burning the air itself as it not only flew but also pushed the entire space between it, creating so much heat that it left a red, blazing trail behind.
CRASH!
The blazing Blade of Judgment struck the hastily conjured Dark Shield with tremendous force, and the impact sent vibrations equal to earthquakes throughout the entire battlefield.
Light and darkness clashed against each other in a spectacular display, their opposing forces annihilating each other with wild, chaotic energy that lit up the corrupted landscape.
Ultimately, the former's purifying power proved superior.
The Dark Shield began emitting sounds of unbearable strain as countless cracks spread across its surface, its dark energy rapidly dissipating under the relentless assault of holy light. Even the twisted vines that formed the shield's foundation began showing deep fractures.
"Break for me!"
Kurtz's eyes were completely bloodshot from the unbearable strain and actual blood.
In a moment of clarity, he saw a vision of a gentle divine being pointing to her own chest, as if lovingly guiding him toward the final strike.
Following this divine guidance, he too began burning his own life force, pushing every last fragment of his remaining strength into this ultimate attack.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The Dark Shield finally shattered completely.
The golden Blade of Judgment, its momentum completely undiminished by the destroyed barrier, continued forward, finally piercing directly into the Goddess's chest.
The blade struck exactly at the point where darkness had nearly consumed the fading light that still belonged to the true Life Goddess.
HISS!
This was the sound of divine flesh being torn apart!
The purifying light finally ended the mournful cry of darkness!
"UGHHH!"
The Goddess released a wail of pure despair that echoed across dimensions!
From the exact point where the blade had pierced her chest, an incredible burst of brilliant, colored light and vile black aura erupted simultaneously, creating a display of conflicting energies.
Orger's sacred power raged wildly throughout her entire divine form, systematically destroying the very foundation of her corrupted deity status while burning away every trace of the vile divine power that had sustained her.
Moreover, the precise location where Kurtz had struck was exactly where she had imprisoned the original Life Goddess's soul, and because of this perfectly aimed blow, the true Life Goddess's power also began spilling out with renewed strength.
The conflicting divine powers raged wildly within her possessed body, not only causing her physical form to disintegrate gradually but also making all the massive black vines surrounding her begin to wither in frantic, death-throes convulsions.
The God's Lock immediately sensed the Goddess's severe injury, and its binding power instantly surged to maximum strength, leaving her no room to struggle or escape.
"Cough Cough bleh. It...It's over!"
Kurtz gripped Orger tightly with both hands, channeling every remaining ounce of his strength to thrust the Blade of Judgment upward through her divine form!
SLASH!
A massive, devastating wound extended from the Goddess's chest all the way to her shoulder blade, nearly splitting her torso in half!
Golden and black divine blood gushed out like a pressurized fountain, staining the ground below.
"NO... impossible! How could I possibly... lose to..."
The Goddess's remaining left eye filled with unbelievable despair and complete shock as she looked down at the fatal wound that had torn through her chest.
She could feel her immense power rapidly draining away and the very foundation of her dark divinity beginning to crumble irreversibly.
Her once-solid, divine body began to turn transparent as countless golden specks of purifying light and streams of vile, black aura emanated wildly from the gaping wound.
The divine power that had made her very existence was now collapsing and disintegrating continuously.
"Life... Sister..." the Fertility Goddess murmured weakly, her voice barely audible.
In her final moments, she found herself remembering time from the distant past, memories of a rigid little girl and her gentle, all-encompassing elder sister who had loved her unconditionally.
She recalled her reborn self being carefully guided by that patient sister, learning step by step to master the sacred authority of life itself, slowly becoming a qualified deity worthy of worship.
They had both been deities wielding the same divine power, sisters who had shared the same faith and purpose.
There was no hate, no jealousy, no difference between them at all. So how did it all go wrong?
"Why? Why... do this to me?"
A voice tinged with genuine confusion and deep emotional pain emanated from the Fertility Goddess's rapidly dissipating form, but her words were ultimately swallowed completely by the encroaching darkness.
BOOM!
The Goddess's divine body, finally purified by the conflicting powers that had torn through her essence, collapsed completely into nothingness.
In the end, her destruction transformed into a massive wave of magical black mud that swept across the entire Godfall Land like a tsunami of corruption.
And then began the final story of black mud devouring everything in its path.
