Chapter 2000: Cleaning Up

"Haaa!" Evelyn punched forward, using the power of gravity and space to amplify her power. Her opponent thrust his spear, but at the last moment, his power flickered.

Evelyn used that time to bend his spear and crush it before her punch continued toward his ribs and pierced through his body.

"You..." The true god gritted his teeth. He never thought he would be defeated by two girls. While it was true that they could summon helpers, it didn’t change the fact that if he could just kill Sera and Evelyn, he would be the winner.

Unfortunately, Evelyn prevailed.

"You worked hard." Sera came to her and healed her wounds first.

"How many times did I die?" Evelyn shook her head helplessly.

"Fatal wounds? Only three. If you’re asking about accumulation damage, it’s probably about 79 times."

"..." Evelyn took a deep breath. "Maybe I’ve grown too weak."

"What do you mean?"

"You people are catching up to me, while my progress is getting stagnant." Evelyn sighed.

"What are you talking about? You are already strong, and you continue to progress."

"Just tell me the truth. There’s no need to encourage me. False encouragement will lead to arrogant thinking."

"I’m not lying, but if you want me to put it bluntly, then I’d say that you are currently lacking in terms of familiars. If you have just a few more familiars to help you fight, the situation will be quite different."

"Summoning gods." Evelyn had been against this idea before. However, it was true that her space fairy and skeleton god were not enough. They might be strong, but they were nowhere near the true god.

Iris also possessed two familiars, but both of them were true gods whose ability was still sealed. Still, with their experience, their strength was significantly higher than that of her own familiars.

On the other hand, Sera didn’t need true gods. Her ability was too powerful, and she would be supporting others, not fighting on the fronts. Her familiars were mainly for protecting her or assisting others.

That was why Sera focused on upgrading her duality.

The only one who should have been in the same state was Luna. Luna only had Magic God Rakusha, but she utilized magic circles to fight. In a way, as long as she had enough time, the magic circles she made would be extremely powerful.

Evelyn looked down, contemplating. "Even Alavenya and Noelle have a true god. I wonder if I really need to summon a true god."

"I don’t know if that’s good. However, it’s true that there is a hole in your current fighting style right now. I’m not saying you are weak. You are strong. Your strength is still in third place among us, after Nathan and Selena. Well, you know, Selena is Selena."

Evelyn nodded. "I know. You don’t have to continue. I’ll talk to Nathan about it later."

"Very well." Sera pointed back. "Do you mind sending me back to the others? I will have to heal them, so no one is dying today."

"Sure. We will go back together." Evelyn agreed and picked up the corpse first."

Everyone was gradually wrapping up the battle. Each of them had killed their respective opponents with or without help.

Some of them struggled. Some of them didn’t.

Nonetheless, this was a good opportunity for them to learn the power of the true gods in this universe.

Their enemies were stronger than these gods, so they needed to get even stronger.

Machina felt a bit of regret. She wanted to be useful, but she couldn’t interfere in the fight between gods.

Her power hadn’t reached that level yet.

Nathan and the others regrouped and took down all the gods that attacked them. Of course, he had to recall Apep as well, not wanting to let this guy do whatever he wanted on the battlefield. Still, he needed to take on Apep again later since he had made that promise.

"How is it?" Nathan asked.

Selena nodded carefully. "We are fine. Some are still heavily injured. The injuries can’t be healed by Raphael or Anubis since it’s not physical. They just need some rest."

"That’s good. Any permanent injuries?"

"None, but this one is a very close battle. We struggled a lot."

Nathan crossed his arms. It was indeed concerning. He didn’t want anyone to die, so he needed to take the result here seriously.

"By the way, Nathan. Do you mind if I talk to you about the true gods in private later?" Evelyn asked.

"!!!" Nathan looked surprised. "Sure. I’ll be happy to help."

Luna just looked at Evelyn mysteriously. While it was true that her technique was unique, Luna would probably have a lower standing after this.

"Hmm..." Nathan assessed the situation before saying, "All right. They must be quite organized, but their headquarters won’t have anything left to protect them. It’s better if we just strike them hard and eliminate everyone related to this organization. They might have some relationship with other organizations, so we have to be extra careful."

"Got it."

Nathan waved his hand. "In that case, Machina, log everything out and give me the report later. I will be preparing for the Soul Contract to upgrade my people to true gods."

"Understood, Master."

Nathan waved his hand and walked back to the center of the portal, trying to figure out the situation. Unfortunately, a few space objects had been destroyed, so the teleportation magic didn’t work anymore.

Nathan closed his eyes for a moment and muttered, "Is this the feeling of losing one’s timeline?"

Ananta Shesha understood what he felt. "It feels like you are experiencing the loss of everyone you hold dear in that timeline. It’s the price of a merger."

"You know... I think I talk a lot whenever there’s a problem in my heart..." Nathan shook his head helplessly.

"Don’t worry, Master. I know about that already. Still, I’m glad that you’re fine. Thankfully, you only use one timeline this time. If it’s more..."

Nathan fell silent. Breaking multiple timelines meant losing everything in those timelines, so it was definitely not a pleasant feeling.

As someone who loved his family dearly, he definitely didn’t like the idea of losing the family he had built multiple times. He really needed to reconsider this ability.
