Chapter 361.2. God Slayer

Helheim realized the idea and, for the first time, twisted its face in disturbance, moving in front of Shin. 

Then, in an unprotected manner, she took on [Nova], Kanna Yamato's attack directly from the front.

The obsidian hall saw everything along the trajectory of [Nova] blown away. Sand and smoke filled the surroundings, obscuring the view, and the destroyed walls revealed the outside.

"Hahaha! Spatial Witch, this is my power. Hahaha!"

Amid the sand and smoke, convinced that everything had been blown away, Kanna Yamato laughed.

"What kind of god is that? It nullifies all my efforts and all the results I've cultivated. Hahaha!"

"Hehehe, ahahaha."

"…Huh?"

But, hearing Helheim's laughter from within the sand and smoke, Kanna Yamato's face tensed.

"You can laugh all you want. Go ahead, laugh as much as you want. Ahahaha."

As the sand settled, the field of vision became clear. There stood Helheim, untouched, with only a little dust on the robe. Shin, sleeping behind, was also unharmed.

Thanks to [Nova], everything around had vanished. The floor had a large hole, the walls disappeared, and the ceiling no longer existed.

However, Helheim and what was behind it remained unscathed, even the floor. Yamato, witnessing this visible scene, staggered back. Helheim laughed, watching his reaction.

"I told you. Ahahaha, hehehe. The attacks of a petty king don't work on me. This hall is my god realm."

[Soul Steal]

"…Hah."

And Helheim's arm was piercing through Kanna Yamato's chest. It wasn't visible. There was no reaction. Before Kanna Yamato could respond, Helheim, looking at his face twisted in astonishment and fear, genuinely enjoyed the expression.

"Goodbye, Duke Yamato. You've become the emperor countless times, so please be satisfied."

Whispering to Kanna Yamato's ear while leaving the arm pierced, Helheim lifted the body.

"I'll use that soul for a better purpose, so don't worry. It's perfect for fertilizer, and it's just right to summon my brother."

"You…!"

"You, who I named Ymir. That name comes from the foolish giant torn apart to become the earth, a stupid beginning. It's a suitable ending for you now."

Laughing while saying this, Helheim casually threw Kanna Yamato towards Shin, who was still sleeping, as if throwing a pebble. 

As Kanna Yamato fell onto Shin, Helheim pointed his index finger, invoking magical power.

"Now, it's the final fertilizer. Shin, absorb everything."

[Sacrifice]

The ominous mist released from the index finger moved as if alive, covering Yamato and Shin.

"I…am…the…Emperor…"

With a voice filled with regret, Kanna Yamato's body crumbled like mud, merging into Shin. 

Laughing as he watched Kanna Yamato's body completely absorbed into Shin, Helheim rotated his index finger.

"Now, sprout. And grow big. To become my power!"

[Sacrifice]

Shin's body also crumbled, and rounded, transforming like a seed. No, it undoubtedly changed into a seed made of pure gold.

[Germination]

Then, as Helheim sent more power, the seed cracked, and a golden sprout emerged. And rapidly, it grew. Young leaves stretched, becoming stems and trunks, branches extended, and it reached towards the sky.

The roots spread across the obsidian hall, and the golden tree continued growing outside. Helheim floated, positioned next to the growing golden tree.

"Hehehe, ahahaha. Finally, finally, this time has come! Now, fill the world. And I shall become the god of this world!"

The outside world. It was the isolated island, the headquarters of the cult religion Yggdrasil.

In front of the suddenly emerging golden tree from underground, the believers were in shock, panicking, and confused.

However, there was no longer any concern for humans. The world was falling into her hands.

The roots continued to grow, covering the entire isolated island. Roots, as thick as a giant snake, spread out, causing humans to panic and run amok.

Branches and leaves extended, and the golden tree reached towards the sky... then abruptly stopped. It was still over a kilometer in height, but it was an unexpected result for Helheim.

"Why? Why did the growth stop? I gathered the power to rule the world... Why aren't the roots growing?"

Helheim noticed that the roots that had entered the sea had suddenly stopped growing. It wasn't because of seawater; the golden tree was supposed to absorb everything as nourishment.

"Is someone hindering it? Taking away the power to dominate the world? No, not someone. Odin... and Takano Miu. They did something, damn it, just one step away!"

Helheim screamed with a demonic distortion on her face. There was a moment of turmoil, but she quickly calmed down. She sighed, gnawed at her nails, and muttered with a distorted face due to frustration.

"I had to use the soul of the red-haired clown; otherwise, I couldn't unleash the power to control this golden tree... I just need to adjust the plan a bit."

The isolated island had now transformed into a single golden tree. The believers were trying to escape on boats, but Helheim didn't pay attention. There was no need to care.

"It can't be helped... Originally, I planned to create the absolute [Domain of the Golden Tree], make everyone other than me lose their power, and then regain my strength..."

Exhaling a breath, Helheim touched the golden tree.

"Ahahaha, fine. If you want to redo the Ragnarok, let's do it again. This time, it will end with my victory."

Receiving Helheim's power, the golden tree began to tremble and lift off the island with a rumble. Buildings collapsed, the palace crumbled, and the island fell apart.

"Let's meet at the true Sky Castle. Odin, and Takano Miu. Prepare yourselves, and let's have our final battle. Ahahaha."

Black clouds began to form around the golden tree. 

Laughing triumphantly, Helheim entered the golden tree, and the transformed golden tree floated high in the sky, becoming a new kind of Sky Castle.
