Chapter 321: The Truth about their Creation (2)
Gi-Gyus sword moved at an alarming speed with incredible power.
Kaboom!
Every swing caused a large explosion that destroyed everything around it. But despite this, Gabriel was still standing. He dodged Gi-Gyus attack expertly, and he even counterattacked effectively using his white sword.
This sword appeared the moment the battle had begun; Gi-Gyu had also realized its identity as soon as he had seen it.
Its an angel. Gi-Gyu realized that it was an angel turned into a holy sword. Gabriel wielded the angel like a weapon and attacked Gi-Gyu.
Dammit. Gi-Gyu swore silently as he dodged the attacks. Gabriel was an archangel, and he had lived an extraordinarily long life. He had survived a great many battles, and his skills were as great as his reputation suggested. He managed to injure Gi-Gyu several times, which was annoying.
Gi-Gyu desperately wished to use all of his power to rip Gabriel apart, but he couldnt.
His body belongs to Michael, who must still be inside somewhere.
Gi-Gyu yelled, Michael! Can you hear me?
Gi-Gyu asked similar questions many times during the battle, but there was no answer. Meanwhile, Gabriels sword followed Gi-Gyu obsessively. He had perfected his swordplay over the past few thousand years.
Gi-Gyu couldnt kill Gabriel, so he couldnt use his big skills; consequently, things werent going his way.
Hes stronger than I thought. Gabriel was a more formidable opponent than Ha Song-Su. While Ha Song-Su enjoyed using his strength to crash into his opponent, Gabriel used his power precisely and sharply like a needle.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As for Gi-Gyu, he was currently only using near-basic sword strikes. Of course, that didnt mean the power inside the sword wasnt enough to destroy everything around it.
Kaboom!
When Gi-Gyu heard an explosion that his fight hadnt created, he turned toward it.
El! Els fight with the archangels was responsible for that blast.
It was then that Gabriel, who had been quiet until now, asked, Can you afford to be distracted?
Slice.
Ugh, Gi-Gyu groaned. He had been distracted only for a moment because of El, but Gabriel was talented enough to take this chance to slash him. A long gash appeared on Gi-Gyus shoulder.
As expected Gi-Gyus wound refused to heal when such a cut should have healed instantly.
Is this the power of a holy sword? Gi-Gyus Life failed to heal this minor wound.
-Master, Im fine.
Els voice rang in Gi-Gyus head as he resumed battling Gabriel.
-I do not want to be a burden to you, Master.
Els voice sounded different from before.
-Please do not worry about me. Please concentrate on your safety.
There was renewed determination in Els voice.
All right, Gi-Gyu replied. From the last explosion, he had sensed corrupted divine power that only belonged to fallen angels. He could tell that El had made a decision.
I wont worry about you, Gi-Gyu promised. He believed that El wouldnt be defeated. He trusted her.
Gi-Gyu added, But Ill get your revenge too, so dont resent me.
Gi-Gyu rushed toward Gabriel. He was about to destroy this space and everything in it. This was the power of Chaos. This was the kind of power Gi-Gyu could wield now.
Dun dun dun dun dun.
Im sorry, Gi-Gyu apologized again as he got ready to release Chaos. His sight blurred, and the space around him slowly began to disappear.
Suddenly, he heard Michael's voice in his head.
-No, you mustnt
Michael! Gi-Gyu yelled.
Kaboom!
The world perished.

Lou wiped the blood off his face. Of course, it wasnt just his blood on his face. Most of it actually belonged to Tao Chen, who had collapsed nearby. His body was soaked in blood, making him look like a corpse.
Tao Chen! Sun Won screamed.
Thankfully, Tao Chen was still alive. He gasped loudly, Haa!
On top of it, his body healed very quickly. Lou was impressed that the blood on his hand didnt solely belong to Tao Chen.
Not bad Lou mumbled. I guess you are worthy of being a ruler.
The rulers used to reign over the worlds Kronos had destroyed. Lou decided that perhaps Tao Chen was even better than those original rulers. His last attack had been especially powerful. Lou had been so startled that he almost went too far.
Gosh, I almost killed him, Lou muttered.
...! Sun Won, who heard Lous mumble, flinched.
Lou thought about Tao Chens last attack. Lou would have felt more threatened if it had been sharper and a bit more controlled.
If he became a ruler earlier, or if he challenged me later, then Lou admitted that he might have had to use his full power. But at the moment, Tao Chen still couldnt use his full potential. Perhaps this was a good thing.
Is this what Gaia planned? Lou wondered. Surprisingly, Gaia had gifted this man with such power when he was only a small pawn in this world. This had to mean that something major was coming their way.
Maybe its not just this guy, Lou told himself. If this was what Gaia had arranged, it didnt make sense that she only made one of Tao Chen. If she had meant to do what she did, then there was much more to come.
I guess the end is near, Lou shook his head and mumbled.
Is she doing the right thing? Lou wondered for a moment. They were now finished with the battle in Rome. All the angels and monsters were dead, and those humans controlling these monsters were imprisoned in Eden. As for the evacuees, Lou didnt care about them.
Huh? Sun Won suddenly gasped. When Lou turned, he saw something very unexpected. He thought everything was under control around him, but he saw that the light beam, which he had assumed was gone, reappeared.
The beam! Sun Won screamed while still leaning against Tao Chen.
Fuck, Lou cursed. The greatest beam they had ever seen appeared in the middle of the Colosseum. Its divine power was so huge that it was enough to make Lou shudder. He knew that he couldnt close this one. It wasnt because he was drained now. Even if he were in perfect condition, he couldnt have dealt with this beam.
The descent of God. Lou believed that the light resembled Gods halo. Such a phenomenon occurred when God appeared physically. The immense divine energy engulfed Rome.
What the hell is happening? Lou muttered. It was too late to stop it, but Lou still headed toward it. He couldnt close it, but he knew something was coming down from it.
What the hell is going on now? Lou murmured, knowing that something or someone was descending in the Colosseum.
