Chapter 580 – The Last Tug of War #2

Cheeeeek-!

Heat like lava felt throughout the body.
Not only the skin, but also the eyes, teeth, and even blood vessels throughout the body become flabby, melt down, and then regenerate.

And it hurts more than anything.
I really feel like I’m dying.
Rosario’s light was such an opposing force to me that I thought I had never felt pain like this before.

Binding Rosario with flabby hands was also difficult.
As I was thinking those thoughts, I heard her emotionless voice.

-If you do this, only you will suffer.

At the same time, with my mouth restored at the right time, I spoke.

“That’s what you think.”

What was my body is melting and hitting Rosario’s pure white skin like rain.
As a result, the malice within her body was being injected into her body.
Although it was an extremely small amount, it was said that dust would accumulate into a mountain, and as malice accumulated, Rosario’s power would weaken proportionally.

-I know what you want. Do you think I will just let the evil that entered my body?

Of course, it will purify itself from within the body.
But what I will do from now on is probably not what you expected.

-I see dirty desires in your eyes.

I snorted at Rosario’s next words and raised my demonic energy.

Susssss…

Then, along with an ominous sound like a snake passing through a dark forest, five or six long, thin objects came out from behind me.
It looked like a tentacle, wriggling like a living thing.
A very black tentacle that makes you frown just by looking at it.

It was like an organism made of demonic energy, and soon it tried to creep towards Rosario’s body, which was being held captive by me.

Chiik-!

She was easily blocked and burned by the light surrounding her.

Ugh…! Ugh…!

Rosario seems to have thought that things couldn’t go on like this, and is increasing the light output.
Even though he is tied to me, why is he using such force without moving?
Maybe Rosario doesn’t know how to play baktu or anything like that.

It made the pain worse, but it was bearable.
However, the magnificence that Rosario is currently showing is below expectations.
I was surprised when the window of light first appeared, but that was it.
It is too weak to be said to have destroyed Helix, the darkness itself.

No matter how weakened it is, is this really all there is to Rosario?
There is a suspicion that there is hidden power.

It may have taken a lot of effort to create Aether and strengthen other gods.
Rosario, which I have seen and heard about so far, pursues fairness.

Moreover, it is possible that after living for so many years, he felt bored with life in the heavenly world, and that he wanted them to defeat us and bring peace to the heavenly world in order to pass it on to his beloved children.

No matter what, if Rosario’s ability is this much, he will one day be consumed by demonic power.
His divine power is not infinite. This is a fact I have known since I became a god.

Even Rosario, who controls light, must have limitations in using her power.
I just have to keep playing tug of war with her.

Chi-ik! Cheap profit…!

How long has it been like that?
During my struggle with Rosario, many monsters died, and several fallen goddesses were also seriously injured by the strengthened gods…
When the remaining gods of the heavenly world are also facing physical extinction one by one,

“Kaaaaak!”

Borsalio’s screams were heard from below.

Glancing down, I saw that Sehwa was piercing Borsalio’s heart with his sickle.
You won. To Borsalio, who was strengthened by Rosario and became stronger.

“I have no shame… My lord…”

With those words, Borsalio’s head, with white blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, bowed.
As he was pierced by the scythe, his body gradually turned into light, but soon it was completely destroyed.

-Borsalio…

When I heard Rosario’s pitiful voice, I felt the pain in me stop just a little.
This meant that Rosario was very focused on competing with me, and that my magic energy was enough to force her to block with all her might.

If you do this, you will see the strategy.
After thinking that, I conveyed my thoughts to my wives.
And not long after that,

“Ahh!”

Yuria’s arrow pierced the shield, and Concordia’s new form staggered as its shoulder was also pierced.
Due to Borsalio’s death, he was completely attacked by the Eight.

At that moment, Sylvia, with her incredible speed, burrowed into her concordia to within inches of her, knocking her straight to the floor.
At the same time, Rachel, Grace, and Irene closed their eyes and drew more magical energy from my body.

What happened right after that was nothing short of terrifying for Concordia.

Tzuuuuu…!

From the three people’s hearts, a pomegranate with the same appearance as the one I had made slowly bloomed.
The three who took it out stuck out their tongues at the same time without anyone saying anything and placed the pomegranate on it.
He then approached Concordia, who was holding her limbs, knelt down next to her, and slowly bent her upper body forward.

“Oh, no…!”

Concordia’s beautiful tone trembles as if foreshadowing what will happen in the future.
She tried to close her mouth, but as she had no physical power whatsoever, she could not prevent her own mouth from being forced open by Sylvia’s hands.

“Uuuuu…!?”

In an instant, Grace allowed her lips to let Concordia into her mouth, pushing the pomegranate directly through her tongue.
Rosario’s eyes were greatly shaken by that unruly appearance.

-Concordia…!

It was because I knew how dangerous that pomegranate was.
She may not have given birth from a real womb, but she had a daughter who was so precious that she could be called her own child…
The daughter I trusted enough to share her direct power with is about to be eroded by malice.

Furthermore, the daughters who have already become corrupted are pointing their swords at their brothers and sisters.
It’s a bonus to hear your children’s whispers here and there.
Rosario must be heartbroken.

Pajik-!

The skin that had been melting with a burning sound now turned into an exhilarating electric current.
Compared to before, the pain is so weak that it can be called a fairy.
Enough to accept it. It seemed like it could be thought of as evidence that Rosario’s mentality was shaking.

Sssss? Am?

When I took advantage of that opportunity and tried to bring the demon’s tentacles to Rosario’s body again,

Pajik! Pajijit!

With the sound of an electric current flowing, tentacles fell around her as if she had been electrocuted.
However, there was much less resistance than before.
I think I can break through just a little more.

I said, taking a look at the body that was no longer melting but only burned.

“It seems like the flow has already turned this way. “I want to support my children, but I guess that’s not possible.”

-…

“You are weak, Rosario. “Can you call yourself the lord of the heavens when even I cannot make you fall?”

Rosario’s thin eyebrows twitched at those words.
It wasn’t like he had been provoked, but he seemed extremely worried about his children.

I can see her eyes changing from worry to determination.
What are you planning to do? Let’s watch for now.
The moment I was thinking that,

Papapot-!

Hundreds and thousands of spheres of light appeared around Rosario.
They will soon fly to the heavenly gods on the battlefield,

Haha!

It strengthened them by scattering huge beams of light in all directions.
As a result, Rosario’s power was greatly reduced, and he seemed to want to entrust the work to his children rather than his own safety.

I can feel the weight that was being tilted towards us leveling out again.
The five wives realize the seriousness of the situation and are running back to the battlefield, leaving behind the slaves who are corrupting Concordia.

“No matter what happens to your body, you will save your children? “Don’t regret it.”

Now, I used to only feel a slight pain, like someone pricking my skin with a needle.
Hearing this, Rosario’s eyes closed quietly.

-Hope is not in you, but in us. My children are now much stronger than my daughters who were consumed by your malice.

That is correct.
Each of the strengthened gods became strong and did their part.
Now that Rosario and I are dealing with each other, if time passes without support, the Celestial side may win the war.

But there is one thing Rosario overlooked.
That was his very existence.
To be precise, the corrupted self.

Because she shared her power with her children, her sense of resistance was weak.
Of course, this will be stronger than other beings, but it is not as strong as me now.

Before she can completely turn the tide, I will corrupt Rosario and use her to completely end her conquest of heaven.
After finishing my judgment, I moved my tentacles and lifted up everything except the demonic energy I was distributing.

Slurp-!

Unlike before, not only my hands but also the tentacles that I was moving with my own will were in direct contact with Rosario’s skin.
It is an extremely soft sensation. To the point where I thought I had never touched a body like this in my entire life.

-…

While stroking Rosario’s shoulder and slender arm along that line, I put my tentacles to Rosario’s ear, who was not struggling at all.

Sssssuuuuuch…

A long, flexible yet hard needle protruding from the tip of the tentacle… Is extremely sharp.
It was so small that it couldn’t even be seen, and soon it slowly burrowed into both of Rosario’s ears.
And…

Pfft-!

It made a very small wound in her eardrum and crawled into God’s head.

-Ugh…!

Rosario flinched ever so slightly.
He seemed to feel unpleasant as an unfamiliar sensation invaded his ears and into his head.

“The body structure is the same as that of a human, right?”

I grinned at Rosario, who didn’t respond to my mocking words, and let the demonic energy flow into the tentacle.

-Ah…!

Magic energy began to leak out from the end of the spit that entered her head, and Rosario lamented when she felt it.
Thinking that the sound was really beautiful without knowing why, I began to inject demonic energy into the main god who had ruled the heavens for countless years.
