Chapter 1271 A White Star.
It will take power of a Celestial or an Origin god to breach the defense. After all, they are made of materials that can withstand the explosion of a real star not some star wannabe.
Legion-5 held on in the face of the all-burning flames. He even kept punching Devoni. The two of them struggled in the air as Devoni tried to pull away. But Legion didn't let him go. He even grabbed the grand god's neck.
Then he said, "My turn."
That's the first thing he has said to the grand god of fire who has come to pay him a visit. It is also the last thing that Devoni will ever hear.
Legion-5 opened his mouth then. In it is a white super-compressed ball of energy. The surrounding air became charged immediately. Even the fire started to create sparks.
The grand god roared in fear, "Noooooooo!"
This roar is greater than his roar of anger. It is a roar of unwillingness and desperation. Devoni tried to move. He willed himself to move with all the divine power that he could muster. Space around them shimmered aND burned as his flames raged. Unfortunately, Legion-5 held him down and the world pressed down on him from all around. The domain of a Sovereign was focused on keeping him there so Devoni was stuck in place. He could only watch.
The ball was ejected out of Legion-5's mouth and struck Devoni's torso. Then it exploded when it struck the grand god. Another star appeared from within the yellow star. This white star grew so large that it swallowed up both of them and the yellow star around them.
"It is over," Legion-5 said after seeing the naked defenseless godhood.
He stopped feeding the star with world power. He allowed it to disperse in the direction of the sky. So a pillar of white lightning rose to the sky before scattering everywhere. A sudden silence descended in the plane in the absence of his dragon breath. It was then that people noticed that the world had been screaming. It was just so deafening that they thought it was normal.
Legion-5 took the godhood calmly as if picking a fruit. Then he returned to his base as if he was returning from a stroll through the neighborhood.
He was nonchalant about the whole thing but the whole plane wasn't. No one can remain calm when a god dies. It is simply impossible to remain calm after a god fell in their intact form and then died soon after.
The believers of the grand of fire were the ones most impacted by this event. They wailed and cried for their dead god. Then they found out that more than 50% of their fellow believers had died so they wailed and mourned even more.
Other believers were also dumbstruck. A god, no matter the level, is an out-of-reach existence to them. It is an existence that lives forever. Some lineages had worshipped the same gods for a million years. As mortals, they didn't think that a god could die.
The believers are obviously weaklings who don't live past 10,000 years. They are the ones that will be shocked by the death of a god. Transcendents that leave for up to 1 Origin cycle are just surprised. They haven't seen the death of a god but they have lived for a long time enough for them to hear about some past events. These particular events occurred 3 Origin cycles ago.
At any other time, transcendents will swarm towards the godhood of the dead god to inherit the divine position. However, no one did so now. They lamented about the death of a god and looked away from it.
No one entertained the thought of becoming a god. It is because they can't get the godhood from the person that killed the god and they might not want the godhood even if it is right in front of them. After all, they know that all of them are doomed. The gods are only bigger ants. They are also doomed.
