Chapter 1999: Finishing The Battle

"Huft..." Selena breathed heavily. As expected, fighting multiple gods after defeating a true god was definitely not easy.

Fortunately, Flora and Iris worked extremely fast. In fact, it was quite surprising that Iris could actually take down two gods by herself. Of course, her two familiars were also fighting more than just one god.

It made Selena wonder how far Iris could actually go.

Selena couldn’t help but think that Iris’s potential might be beyond hers. She prided herself as the number one in Nathan’s group, but looking at the situation, it turned out she was not.

Nevertheless, Iris’s strength was a good thing. As long as they could kill the alien, she wouldn’t complain.

Selena looked around and muttered, "It looks like we’re going to wrap up the battle pretty soon."

...

In the other corner, Nathan was still going hard against his opponent. It might be because of his pride as the leader or his absolute strength that made him the leader, but the true god refused to go down.

His body was tattered, but his eyes remained strong.

"..." Nathan narrowed his eyes. Garuda had been sharing the nectar to heal them, while Nathan and Ananta could heal themselves by using the time element.

Still, it looked like the damage had taken a toll on their bodies as well.

Since it was like this, Nathan ordered, "Ananta, can you see any possibilities where he’s already dead?"

"!!!" Ananta widened his eyes in shock. "Are you sure?"

"I will be using my own power to assist you."

"Understood." Anant nodded, accepting his role.

’Nidhogg, Orochi, distracts that person. Garuda, get ready to deliver the killing blow.’ Nathan gave the order through the summoning link.

All the familiars understood the assignment and immediately launched their attacks. The first one was Nidhogg and Orochi.

The true god clicked his tongue and formed a shield to block it. As expected, the fight took a huge toll on his body as well. He was struggling to just stop these two, but Nathan knew that the true god could last for hours if he didn’t kill him with everything he got.

He was quite worried about his wives. While he trusted them enough to know that they could survive somehow, he still needed to know if they were all right.

So, Nathan charged toward him.

The true god repelled Orochi and Nidhogg’s attacks, only to find Ananta spring at him.

The true god gathered his power in his fist, but before he could use it, Nathan appeared not far from him.

"Time Domain."

He first activated the time domain, while Ananta activated his own ability, searching for the possibility where the true god already died.

Nathan believed this was a similar technique that Yog-Sothoth used to save himself and Azathoth during the third war.

As long as Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth remained alive in one possibility, they would be able to copy themselves through spacetime.

However, it wasn’t something that could be used lightly. Copying themselves in a situation like that meant erasing those possibilities.

In other words, Yog-Sothoth had thrown away the timeline where it died. It originally had close to infinite lives, but because of the gods in the third war, it probably lost a majority of its lives.

That was why Nathan believed he had the chance.

This time, Nathan didn’t ask Ananta to do something big.

Instead, he only asked for one timeline. If he wanted to erase the true god from this world, fusing multiple timelines and applying the fact that he already died would be more effective.

Because Ananta used only one timeline, the effect decreased significantly, but it still meant that it only affected one timeline.

Ananta was the one using the timeline, while Nathan applied it so that both of them could reduce the burden on their respective bodies.

The effect was small but simple.

When the existence of the true god merged with his own death, the true god lost its consciousness for a split second.

"What?!" The true god was startled. He had never seen an ability like this, but before he knew it, the universe’s fastest mount appeared and struck him.

Garuda severed its right arm and destroyed the right portion of his torso.

"Ha... Ha..." Nathan panted heavily. He wiped the blood on his mouth. "Just one timeline takes this much?"

"It’s not an ability I really recommend using, but testing it to let you know about it is something I can approve of." Ananta nodded.

"Yog-Sothoth..."

Ananta answered immediately, "It did. The price should be extremely high. Most likely, it slumbered for a while. No, the reason Yog-Sothoth hasn’t gone after you yet might be because of that. It’s still weakened after using this power."

"Possibly." Nathan nodded in understanding. "For now, I have figured out what it means to wield this power, but surely... to kill Yog-Sothoth..."

Nathan had a headache just thinking how far he needed to go to kill Yog-Sothoth.

"Indeed. It’s not going to be easy for you, but it’s necessary."

Nathan turned back to the true god, who was about to die. He managed to persist even after his right side of his torso was destroyed, but he couldn’t put up a fight anymore.

"Do you think you will be fine after doing this to me?" The true god glared at Nathan.

"I should be the one asking that question. You have just struck the Prince of Selenica Federation! Your people should fear my father’s retaliation." Nathan snorted.

"You’re bluffing. If you—"

Before he finished his words, Nathan simply cut the man’s head. What he wanted wasn’t the answer. It was his reaction.

Nathan smiled and said, "It does look like he has allies, but their headquarters should be quite deserted after they bring these people here. We can raid there and win a lot of things... maybe."

"You are bad, very bad." Ananta shook his head helplessly.

"I don’t show mercy to my opponents." Nathan snorted while storing the true god’s body. "Anyway, we’re done here. Let’s go back."
