Chapter 151 The Omnipotent One

"Lord Uranos, shall we not use the main cannon of this fortress, Avalon, to exterminate those monsters?"

A subordinate, standing behind the Demon God King Uranos, offered a suggestion.

"No... that is a 'Divine Oracle Beast.' Not even this fortress's main cannon could defeat it."

"Then...?"

"There's no need to worry."

Uranos said that, raising his hand forward. His hand began to shift, reshaping into something resembling a massive cannon made of flesh and muscle.

Light gathered at the cannon's mouth, and the air itself began to tremble.

"Dragon Blast—!"

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The scorching giant strode across the land, turning the earth into magma. The demon army on the ground could only scatter in panic.

Every swing of the giant's axe shattered the ground, sending everything nearby flying apart.

It seemed impossible to stop—but then, a blinding flash shot in from afar, striking the giant directly. The light pierced through its solid rock body.

"GooooooOOOOOOO...!"

A massive hole opened in the giant's form, and particles of light began leaking out.

The giant groaned in agony, slowly kneeling down with a thunderous roar. Shockwaves rippled through the ground. Amidst the rising dust, the Titan dissolved into light and vanished.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The flying fire dragon burned the demon army on the ground with its searing breath, and launched fireballs at the fleet above, sending them flying apart.

No one could stop it—but then, a single beam of light pierced through the red dragon's body. The dragon let out a deafening scream.

Flames spiraled from its form, and its abdomen was torn open.

Screaming in agony, the dragon plummeted toward the ground. The demon army below couldn’t grasp what had happened—but they cheered anyway, triumphant at the dragon’s fall.

Shiva dissolved into particles of light.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Uranus casually buried the two “Oracles’ Beasts.” No emotion. Not a flicker.

Then he reshaped both arms, forming two massive cannons.

“Dragon Blast!!”

A torrent of blinding light erupted from both barrels. It shot across the sea—straight into the giant “insect” there.

The massive Vishnu barely flinched at the hole torn through its body—but the light didn’t stop. It started creeping sideways, slicing through Vishnu’s form like a blade.

The giant insect screamed—no sound, just pure, soul-crushing agony.

The “insect” slowly dissolved into light particles—but the swarm of killer bees Vishnu had spawned remained, swarming the demon warship.

Uranus retracted his hands from the cannons, raising them into the sky.

“Extreme Thunder!!”

Lightning—over a billion bolts—rained down from above. The lightning struck the killer bees from every angle.

The zigzagging bolts didn’t just hit the enemy—they smashed into the demon warship too, tearing it apart.

While Uranus focused south-east, another dragon approached from a different direction. Far away—but Hydra gathered light into its three mouths.

In response, Uranus formed a colossal cannon.

Hydra unleashed its annihilation beam. Uranus fired his Dragon Blast. The two beams collided midair—exploding in a violent, blinding clash of light, locked in a deadly stalemate.

'Guess turning into a Hydra isn’t so easy after all...'

From Uranus’s back, writhing flesh bulged out, forming two new cannons. More flesh surged forward, creating two more cannons.

Five cannons now targeted the Hydra.

Five beams of light struck the black dragon. Outshining the Hydra’s own light, the black dragon vanished into the blinding radiance.

The light shattered the absolute defense, erasing the black dragon entirely.

Uranus retracted the flesh from his back, scanning for a new target—then spotted a blazing mass. The Phoenix was coming straight at him.

Uranus lazily raised a hand.

The cannons shifted—Dragon Blast fired. The beam pierced the flaming bird, vanishing into the distance.

'Phew. Did that take care of the strong one?'

Just as Uranus exhaled, something shot up from below—moving at breakneck speed toward him.

A red mass. Zigzagging through the air, heading straight for him.

Like a red lightning bolt—

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

That floating castle... was it Avalon? Light beams kept shooting out from it nonstop. If that bastard’s anywhere, it’s gotta be there.

I pushed my flight speed even higher.

'Hee-ha-ha-ha! Missed you, Uranus!!'

I soared up to the castle wall—there, predictably, stood the Demon God King Uranus.

'Vein-Cutter!!'

I swung the bloodied sword in both hands, unleashing a slash of crimson energy. I fired wave after wave of attacks capable of splitting a warship in two—each one deflected by his barrier.

I closed in, getting right up to the Demon God King, then lunged with the blade itself.

His sword clashed with my two blades. Red sparks flew, the air tense with impact. We stared each other down, close enough to touch.

‘Long time no see… Uranos. You alive and well?’

‘Heh… Agalirepto. Didn’t think I’d see you again. How was the labyrinth? Comfortable?’

‘Ah! It was *perfect*!’

I parried his blade upward, lunging in a single motion. No one beats me in strength—so I swept my sword past the step he took back.

My blade ripped open his shoulder, slashed down to his abdomen.

Just as blood erupted—his sword pierced my face.

‘Huh?’

Uranos wasn’t even scratched. This…

‘Did you enjoy dreaming, Agalirepto?’

‘You rewound time… Cheater.’

I pushed through the sword in my face, dissolving into crimson mist, vanishing into the air.

‘You can’t cut me… You should know that by now.’

‘Right. But you can’t wound me either. So what now, old friend?’

‘Whatever!’

I vanished behind him, lunging forward with a hand full of searing magic—plunging straight through his body. Blood burst from his gut, flames consumed him whole.

‘I’ll keep hitting you till you fall down!!’

Should’ve been devastating. But Uranos was gone—vanished from in front of me. Then, a voice echoed from right behind.

‘Waste of effort. Even with your unique skill boosting fire magic, it’s still just a makeshift attack.’

I turned. He held up a hand. Just as embers scattered from his palm—flames swallowed the entire world before my eyes.

『The City of Flame’s Destruction (Sodom)!』

Flames spread for hundreds of meters, incinerating everything in their path. Even the red mist that makes up my body can be burned. But—

the red mist re-forms, returning to its original shape from the spreading haze.

『Too bad. Looks like flames don’t work on me.』

『Ah… so you stole Hyperion’s power. Then yeah, flames won’t work. Got it. I’ll remember that.』

So attacking normally just gets nullified… then—

from higher above us, multiple water tornadoes descend. I’d been moving chunks of seawater without Uranus noticing.

『Hmph… so this is 【Current Manipulation】. I see. You killed Oceanus too and stole his power… really want to kill me that badly?』

『I’ve lived for centuries thinking only one thing—killing you! No matter what it takes, I’ll destroy you!!』

The water tornadoes grow larger, sealing off every escape route. Then, I drop the mass of seawater directly above Uranus.

The seawater engulfs him, transforming into a spherical prison.

Inside the water sphere, I superheat the water with 【Imperial Flame’s Favor】, boiling it to scalding rage—just enough to avoid explosion, but enough to trap him with fire and water forces.

【Imperial Flame’s Favor】 nullifies fire magic. 【Current Manipulation】 nullifies water magic.

Time reversal shouldn’t last long. If I can hold him like this, even if he rewinds time, he won’t survive without damage.

『Die in the water, Uranus!!』

『Useless.』

『Wha…』

A voice came from right behind me. I turned—Uranus floated in midair, unharmed. How the hell did he escape?

'Ah... I've never shown this to the other gods, but me and Chronos can teleport, so locking us up is pointless.'

'This guy...'

Uranus pointed his right index finger at me. I barely registered the black flash—then a massive hole tore through my thigh.

'This is dark magic...'

My body, made of crimson mist, was being carved away.

'Hehe... It'll take time, but I can chip away at your particles. Meanwhile, you've got no way to hurt me. So... what now?'

'You bastard...'

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

【Leo Garcia——】

The warships filling the sky were being shot down one after one. On the ground, the troops were being met by the "Crimson Ape" and the "Metallic Lion."

We were dragging wounded comrades, trying to retreat to the transport plane.

Then—someone dropped from the sky. That's...

'Gojo!!'

Gojo landed silently on the ground, then sprinted toward us.

'You okay, Leo?'

'I'm fine... but...'

I faltered. Most of my allies were dead. The kids who were Gojo's students—gone. Wang and Freyja... I couldn't save them.

I told Gojo. The shame of my own powerlessness... it burned.

'So...'

Gojo stared at his own hands.

'Now... now I might be able to help.'

'What? What do you mean!?'

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I stared at my hands. Activated the鉴定.

Before coming here, I'd used a single job board. The one I'd always wanted to master—but never enough copies to rank up.

Right now, the summoned beast has taken down so many enemies that experience points are pouring in. Checking it, sure enough—my level’s maxed out.

Monk Lv99

【Profession Skill】

Healing Arts Rank SSS Title: “Healer of the Heavenly Heavens”

I should be able to do this now.

I channel magic into my right hand. The transparent gem on the “Ten Fingers of Pluto” glove—on my right—shatters.

“Highest-tier healing magic—”

White magic spills from my right hand, spreading across the ground like silk threads unraveling. It soon connects to every wounded soul and corpse nearby.

“—Revive the Dead, Divine Law of Asklepios—!!”
