The center of ‘Evil’s face was deeply caved in.

His already demonic face had become utterly grotesque.

〖Aaaaaargh!〗

As the flames of sacred fire burned and purified the wounded area, the man let out a tremendous scream.

Yes, that pain would be hard to endure even for an absolute being, wouldn’t it?

“Have you ever been beaten up even once in your life?”

Thwack!

I struck the man’s right cheek with my fist once more.

〖Gack!〗

Stepping on the staggering man’s foot, I threw a right hook this time.

Smack!

〖Urgh!〗

Seeing his face evenly caved in really cleared my mind completely.

“Since you’re wearing a human body, you should get beaten like a human.”

I went straight for the man’s jaw.

Crack!

His jawbone and teeth broke simultaneously.

This was Feliks, who had once been renowned for his beauty in the Empire.

Having transformed into a demon and with all the bones in his face shattered, he had become truly hideous.

Even though Feliks had done wrong, I felt a bit uncomfortable destroying the body of someone already dead like this.

‘Or not? Maybe Feliks is actually grateful that I’m beating up the one who used his young self and ultimately dragged him to hell?’

Hmm, then I should hit him some more.

Thud!

I struck the man’s abdomen fiercely. ‘Evil’ flew far away and crashed onto the frozen sand with a thump.

〖Uwaaaack!〗

From the extreme shock that made his stomach cave in deeply, the man vomited black blood.

As expected, beating him with my fists really relieved my stress.

〖Urgh, huff.〗

The man gasped heavily.

The flames of sacred fire interfered, preventing the man from recovering properly.

His two black eyes shook from the impact.

“How is it? Getting beaten by the humans you’ve only despised and used.”

I slowly approached ‘Evil’.

〖Di, di, die!〗

Black poison spewed from ‘Evil’s entire body.

This doesn’t work on me anymore, but the stupid thing still hasn’t realized it.

【Strongly activating the stigma ‘Sacred Fire’.】

The five-colored flames wrapping around my entire body blazed intensely.

As soon as it touched the five-colored flames, the poison made a sizzling sound and was instantly purified.

Not a single drop of the black poison reached me.

〖Im, impossible… This, this can’t, be! My power, my, my power!〗

“You’ve already become weak.”

As I approached ‘Evil’, the man hesitantly backed away.

〖Don’t, come, don’t come, closer!〗

Dozens of spears made of poison flew toward me.

However, they too turned to a handful of ash as soon as they touched the flames of sacred fire.

“For something that tried to devour this world as evil, you’re far too pathetic.”

The sight of the man not trying to fight to the end but only looking for a chance to escape was truly disappointing.

If he had fought by throwing everything he had from the beginning, we might have lost.

The man’s malice of wanting to toy with us ultimately led to his defeat.

“You amount to nothing more than that.”

I gripped my mace again.

‘Evil’, who had been glaring at me while lying face down on the ground, soon shouted in a terrible voice.

〖I am, I am the god of this world. I am the true master of this world! Me! Only me!〗

Once again, poison spewed from the man’s entire body.

By now he should know it won’t work on me, so why is he doing this troublesome thing again.

Just as I frowned and was about to purify the poison that blocked my entire view with sacred fire.

“Ordel! ‘Evil’ is escaping!”

Jin shouted from behind.

When I hastily dispersed the poison with sacred fire, I finally saw it.

“Ha!”

The black mist abandoning Feliks’s body and flying away.

I immediately snapped my fingers.

【Activating divine power exclusive skill ‘Judgment’.】

【Activating stigma ‘Sacred Fire’.】

【Overlapping the two skills.】

Lightning imbued with sacred fire fell toward the black mist.

But just before contact, the black mist scattered and avoided the attack.

Damn it, so that’s why he deliberately took the form of formless mist.

But I couldn’t widen the range of attack either.

That damn thing was escaping over our allies’ heads!

【’Light of Indomitability and Faith’ shouts that if even a handful escapes, it will hide and attempt resurrection again!】

At the Sun God’s words, I frowned deeply.

“We have to catch that thing! If we let even a bit of it escape, all our efforts will be in vain!”

“Don’t worry.”

The moment I shouted urgently, Rute’s gentle voice was heard.

“Interfering with ‘Evil’s plans is what I do best in this world.”

Rute, who had risen into the sky, extended his hand.

Ah, the single point of poison that remained without disappearing even while divine power filled his body.

The power of ‘Evil’ that he harbored began to shake violently.

〖No, way!〗

The escaping black mist stopped in mid-air. No matter how hard it tried, the mist would no longer scatter.

Rather, as if a strong gravitational force was acting, it slowly began to be pulled toward us.

〖Rute, Siery! How dare you, with my power!〗

The power of ‘Evil’ that Rute was forced to harbor was now leading the man to his death.

“The first time was easy, so why would the second time be difficult.”

Rute smiled brightly.

The ecstasy of finally being able to kill the man filled his face.

〖Se, second time?〗

“Yes. Last time, even sacrificing my body, I could only steal your memories at best, but this time will be different.”

At Rute’s words, I opened my eyes wide.

What he stole was ‘Evil’s memories?

And what, he sacrificed his body?

I had only vaguely guessed that he might have helped with the regression, but I never imagined he had done something like that.

“You will die by our hands.”

Rute clenched both hands tightly. Then, like pulling up a net, he yanked both hands inward.

At the same time, the black mist gathered into one.

〖No, let go, let go!〗

‘Evil’ struggled desperately, but Rute did not release him.

Blood vessels began to bulge prominently on Rute’s arms and face.

“Del!”

His shout brought clarity to my mind.

Now was not the time to think about Rute’s past life.

I gripped the mace tightly.

【Activating skill ‘Holy Spear’.】

【Activating skill ‘Judgment’.】

【Activating stigma ‘Radiance’.】

【Activating stigma ‘Sacred Fire’.】

【Stacking all skills!】

All the power I possessed settled into the mace that gleamed with a pearl-like luster.

But at that moment.

【Power above the threshold detected. The blessing of the Three Sovereign Gods settles into the holy relic ‘Divine Punishment’.】

【Holy relic ‘Divine Punishment’ temporarily upgrades to divine artifact ‘Divine Punishment’!】

What?

I was already grateful enough that it had become legendary grade, but now it’s upgrading to a divine artifact?

Even though it’s temporary, to think something not even made by a god could become a divine artifact.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ tells the user to keep fighting.】

【’Raging Sea’ shouts while holding a spear, telling you to hurry up and smash that bastard.】

As if they had been waiting, messages from the Eternal God and Sea God appeared.

And a message from the Sun God too.

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ cheers on their precious child.】

“Ha.”

So this was a weapon prepared for me to face ‘Evil’ in their stead.

‘Evil’ was an absolute being.

No matter how legendary grade it was, a holy relic alone would be insufficient to kill that thing.

But if it’s a divine artifact containing all the power of the Three Sovereign Gods, if it’s combined with all the skills I possess.

I could definitely kill that thing.

Crash!

I kicked off the ground and leaped up.

My lightning-infused body instantly reached the front of the spherical black mist.

Two blood-red eyes flashed from within the black mist.

〖You think, I’ll just take this!〗

The black mist shot out hundreds of spikes like a sea urchin.

Just as the spikes were about to pierce through my body like they had at the Imperial Palace Banquet Hall.

“That’s not going to happen.”

Jin appeared on the opposite side and cut down some of the spikes with her axe.

“Did you think we’d just stand and watch?”

Carmen and Dominic’s water-formed blades cut through another portion.

And.

“I won’t let you, get us twice.”

Rute, who had been blocking the creature, gritted his teeth and unleashed divine power.

Black liquid flowed from his bulging eyes, nose, and mouth.

Crash!

At the same time, all the spikes the creature had shot out shattered.

This was the last power of ‘Evil’ that Rute possessed.

The poison remaining inside Rute completely disappeared with this final act.

“Why did you have to make enemies of us all?”

I smiled while looking straight into ‘Evil’s’ bulging red eyes.

In the past, everyone who had died at its hands pushed my back, telling me to kill ‘Evil’.

So this is your karma.

Now it was time to settle that debt.

I swung the mace wide toward its red eyeball.

Crash!

With a thunderous roar, five-colored light wrapped around the mace blazed brilliantly.

“Ugh!”

“Get away!”

Even Jin, Carmen, and Dominic couldn’t withstand the tremendous heat and hurriedly fled.

The last poison ‘Evil’ possessed clashed violently with my power.

My cheeks, arms, and hands were torn, blood flowing.

“I told you not to get hurt.”

Above my head as I struggled in the contest of strength, I heard a gentle voice filled with sighs.

“Because you’re not alone anymore.”

〖No, way!〗

The red eyes that had been pushed back by my mace widened.

Above them, Rute’s blade infused with pure white divine power plunged deep.

The power of the Three Sovereign Gods I possessed and Rute’s divine power began to merge together.

【Activating fusion skill ‘Execution’!】

The sharp blade honed solely to kill ‘Evil’ slashed through the creature’s entire body.

〖Aaaaaaaah!〗

The mace tore, Rute’s sword cut, and the blade of execution completely split the creature’s body in half.

Whoosh!

Finally, flames of sacred fire shining in five colors burned the scattering mist.

〖No, I don’t want this, no! I, this world! This world is mine!〗

“There’s no such thing as an owner of the world. We who live on this land reject you.”

Even gods cannot be called owners of the world.

This world belongs to all the living beings that inhabit it.

The flames of sacred fire blazed fiercely. It felt as if I had become a sun myself.

I reached out and firmly grasped the fleeing mist with both hands.

“So now just disappear.”

〖Ah, aah, ah…〗

The sacred fire completely burned away the black mist.

Without leaving even a handful of ashes.

It was the end of ‘Evil’.
