Chapter 1496: Over
“Gah!” The Godfather’s eyes rolled back as a huge crack as big as a city formed in the air. The world trembled because of its power.
This was a battle that had started eight years ago. No, it started over a few decades ago.
The empire and the dynasty failed to put an end to it, resulting in the beginning of their revenge.
This one attack was like a symbol that their revenge had ended.
The people were witnessing that one last attack that would kill the Godfather.
Yet, even though he knew he was going to die, the Godfather could still smile under the pressure of Space Quake and Spatial Disaster.
The Godfather looked at Nathan with contempt. “You… aren’t getting anything from me.”
“!!!” Nathan widened his eyes.
Suddenly, the black cell burst from the inside of his body. It turned out the Godfather had another black cell on his body. No, he had hidden black cell all over his body so that it could consume him at any time.
“No!” Nathan panicked, but there was nothing to stop it anymore.
The black cell consumed the Godfather, especially his soul.
The black cell intended to disappear under their attack, but after consuming everything from the Godfather so that the Godfather couldn’t tell anything about the black cell.
The Godfather simply smirked at Nathan one last time as if he was mocking him that nothing would go his way before his body crumbled into pieces.
The Godfather of the Death Society, Marzbeth Rekuakin, died.
“Did we…” Evelyn blinked her eyes a few times.
“Anubis!” Nathan shouted as he recalled Anubis and summoned him again next to him.
Anubis was confused at first, but he soon realized why he would be there. “No. What did you do?”
Nathan gnashed his teeth while looking down. His eyes were closed as if he felt ashamed.
“The black cell destroyed the last piece of evidence, the Godfather’s soul,” explained Evelyn.
“!!!” Anubis couldn’t believe it, but he soon figured out the reason. “Is it because of Soul Devourer and Fated?”
“Most likely. He most likely knew about it even though he wasn’t present and we didn’t have the chance to find something from them.”
“But we didn’t even interrogate them.”
“That’s the only possible explanation.” Evelyn shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know what’s going on either, but it’s clear that the black cell knows. And it’s not going to let us have the chance to track it.”
“…” Anubis clicked his tongue. “So, we can’t do anything about them?”
“How about the souls on the ground? Others have died, right?”
Anubis was the one shaking his head this time. “None. The attack completely destroyed them. Even Frequency, who was far from the city, had been destroyed. We got nothing.”
Evelyn let out a long sigh. “I guess we can’t do anything.”
“Yet.” Luna suddenly stopped them as she’d finally arrived.
“Yet?” Evelyn was confused, while Nathan thought about something. “Your brother?!”
That was right. There was still someone who could be interrogated. It was her brother. However, Nathan couldn’t interrogate him yet because he hadn’t died.
And it wasn’t like he could kill him to respect Luna’s wish.
In that case, Leon Eleren had to be freed from the control of the Godfather. With the Godfather dead, what happened to him?
Nathan’s expression turned solemn. “That’s right. But are you sure about this?”
“I don’t know what my brother’s condition is. As long as it doesn’t kill him, I’m willing to do anything. And I’ll make sure he cooperates with the investigation.”
Leon Eleren possessed crucial information. As someone who had been cooperating with the Death Society for decades, he surely knew crucial information.
“I understand. I have my Soul Contract. I can prevent him from lying through that contract.”
“Then let’s head back.” Luna nodded. She was exhausted and wanted to know the condition of her brother.
They gathered all the people into a single area. The casualties were enormous. Some townspeople couldn’t escape, so a lot of them died. In addition, the light had killed hundreds of fighters from their side.
They originally started with 1,200 people who were divided into multiple groups. Yet, he could see that only a third of them remained.
The loss was heavy, especially with two crystal fusion summoners dead. Johnson had sacrificed his life, while Euclid died because Sandalwood decided to go for mutual destruction.
Still, compared to the complete destruction of the Death Society, the losses could be considered small, especially after they witnessed what the Godfather was capable of.
The Godfather could eliminate every single one of them if not for Nathan, Evelyn, and Luna.
So, when they returned to the camp, the people’s gazes were locked on them.
Ternius and the others had regrouped as well.
As the war hero, Ternius had often found himself in a similar situation. Hence, he was the first one to clap.
Yes, he started clapping. There was no need for another word.
Henry and the others also started clapping, followed by the rest of the people. They had won.
Nathan, Luna, and Evelyn had stopped those terrifying attacks multiple times, not only exacting their revenge but also protecting them. They were the heroes of this war.
“Congratulations.” Ternius smiled. “Shouldn’t the hero deliver a speech?”
“A hero…” Nathan wasn’t a hero. He just came here to help with the revenge. But the others didn’t see him that way.
Ternius’ smile changed a bit, as if telling Nathan to give a speech.
Nathan took a deep breath before raising his hand as if asking them to stop so that he could speak.
Once the camp fell silent, Nathan started speaking. “Just a little short of a year ago, you came here, knowing full well that you might lose your lives on the way. We could finally find out the true terror of the Death Society.
“However, you didn’t back down. You fought the catastrophe that had been hiding its fangs all these years and saved countless thousands of lives.
“Regardless of your intention in coming here, there was no doubt that the dynasty and the empire owed you. Thank you.”
“Uoohhh!” The people cheered.
