Chapter 921 - [Ascendance Of The G.o.ddess Of Sins And Virtues] 42/?: a.s.sault!


-----


The day was cloudy, cold, and dry, a usual and common day within the desolate lands of the Vretrion Kingdom, the floor was as rocky and cold as ever, the day was mildly misty, and the giants roamed their enormous, gargantuan city as every day.


The giants, although varied in appearances, clothes, and hairstyles, all shared some common features, such as charcoal black skin, a single crimson eye in the middle of their face, and gargantuan sizes, varying from 20~30 meters each… they were so big that each of their footsteps shook the earth, and as they were so many in the large city, the earth was constantly shaking, but they paid no mind to this.


Burly men with enormous muscles wearing clothes that seemed to be made of various pieces of fur finely sewed roamed around the large streets, carrying giant beasts on their shoulders.


Beautiful women with wide hips, gargantuan b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and charming smiles roamed around as well, some of them were just as packed with muscles as the males, while others had slimmer figures and often walked around s.e.xily.


Young children whose sizes were not as gargantuan as the adults roamed around the larger streets, such as the plazas, where they played with one another, throwing enormous b.a.l.l.s made of hard rock, using their bare feet to hit them, their strength and resiliency were enough to do such a feat without their feet not breaking.


A young mother walked with his little son, her beautiful face seemed tranquil, and her crimson eyes gleamed with happiness, her wide hips were firm and muscular, and her stomach had strong biceps. Her shoulders were small and refined, yet also muscular.


The little boy"s body was slim and his face round and chunky, he seemed to be around three to four years old, and tightly grasped his mother"s large hand, the little boy and his mother wore black leather clothes and walked barefoot. The mother"s body was covered in golden tattoos resembling wind and clouds.


The boy pointed at the large tower erecting in the middle of the giant"s city, as his crimson eye gleamed with wonder.


"Mama, what"s in the tower?" he asked, his mother smiled at the adorable question of her son.


"Oh, my dear, in that tower our old Ancestor Vretrion, rests… It is said that he has lived for thousands of years overseeing us. We are all his descendants…" said the mother.


"Ah… Vretrion… like the statue we offer prayers to?" asked the boy.


"Indeed, it is the very same. He is in the flesh with us, within that tower… Long ago, he brought his family to these desolate lands and made it our home. In here we have large beasts to hunt, and we can fish giant creatures in the lakes and the cold seas… We are truly blessed by a bountiful land where we can train our bodies and find food and nourishment…" said the mother.


The boy"s eyes gleamed with admiration and innocence, as he grew curious about one day meeting her progenitor.


"Can we go meet him one day?" he asked.


"Ah… Perhaps one day! Maybe they will open the Tower… Though it hasn"t happened in hundreds of years, sometimes it is said that Vretrion-sama feels like holding a tournament between his descendants, where he attends and watchers over personally," said the mother.


"Oooh! Maybe he will open one soon?" asked the boy.


"Perhaps… He had recently woken up and was invited by the G.o.ds to do something important. He had recently come back according to the shrine maiden, so perhaps he might hold a new tournament… the last one was several hundreds of years ago… I was but a little girl back then, but Vretrion-sama"s splendor was immense," said the mother.


"Amazing! Is he the strongest of them all?" asked the boy.


"The strongest! Our ancestor truly has no equal… He is our biggest protector after all… The All-Father," said the mother.


"I have to train more with papa so I can become strong and muscular like him! And then I will partic.i.p.ate in the next tournament!" said the boy.


"Fufu, alright then! You will have to Level Up a lot though, and make sure to train your Technique Skills as well… Although Magic should never be neglected," said the mother.


"Mama, can you teach me magic? I kind of suck at Magic…" said the boy.


"Sure thing~!" said the mother, as she petted her son.


Meanwhile, within the large tower of Vretrion, the Realm Menace of Pride sat down over his throne overlooking the place down below.


"Hm… I can see that they don"t slack, they have grown stronger. Though… No one else has become a G.o.d?" he wondered.


"No, Vretrion… You need to know that becoming a G.o.d is a hard thing to do…" said Khustia.


"Hm… Maybe we need to make them train and hunt monsters faster. Your dungeon doesn"t bring enough monsters… I will make a dungeon too… A bigger one, with bigger monsters," decided Vretrion.


"What are you planning? Do you want your entire population to be living deities?" asked Khustia.


"No… I want all of them to become even higher! G.o.ds! All of them shall govern at my side… We will conquer the Realm afterward, destroy the central continent and then conquer all of Genesis…" said Vretrion, as he had regained his greediness of old.


"I see. You have become quite greedy. Are you filled with more will to fight now that you slept for so long?" asked Khustia.


"I am. I am tired of sleeping. We are going to conquer everything soon…" thought Vretrion.


"Haha… I guess you are about to try it…" sighed Khustia, long gone were the days where he held any authority over Vretrion… and he had suddenly turned into his servant at this point, merely because he was scared of his strength… and well, it is not as if he had anywhere to go, he was a mere Demon G.o.d after all. He had no Pantheon or anything of the sort, and without Vretrion he would perhaps be left almost defenseless in the great scheme of things…


Even more, now that every G.o.d was getting their hands in Divinity Devouring and Lesser Uroboros, and was growing more and more aggressive with each pa.s.sing day, the hunger that these abilities produced was immense, making the G.o.ds proactively scheme against other G.o.ds to devour them.


Khustia had not taken the black crystal due to this truth, which was revealed rather later when almost 90% of all G.o.ds bought it and got its powers. This was, perhaps, a greater scheme of the G.o.ds that sold them, making all G.o.ds within Genesis who had acquired such abilities become incredibly hungry, desiring to devour anything, and never appeasing their hunger unless they were to eat other divine ent.i.ties.


As the G.o.ds became proactively more aggressive, he chose to stick with Vretrion, who was already capable of, most likely, beat any G.o.d that was to come to attack him… If Khustia took into consideration how he had beaten Heavenly Calamities while being half-asleep, it should be clear as water that he was… very strong.


"Well, I will try to help you however I can," he sighed.


"I don"t think I will need your help anyways," said Vretrion, rather pridefully.


"Eh…? Is that so?" wondered Khustia, glaring elsewhere while being rather bored of Vretrion"s dull personality… now that he had become something of his servant he realized how boring this man was.


"Anyways, maybe we should begin-"


BOOOOOOOMMM!!!


An explosion happened, as the entire tower began to tremble tremendously, the wall started to crack and enormous pieces shattered and fell apart, the wall"s entire structure was about to fall over the entire city, the people around were panicking!


The tower they looked up to and prayed every day was now falling apart into pieces, the giant pieces clashed over the floor, making tremors all around!


BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


"Gyyyaaaahhh…!"


"What is going on?!"


"Run! Run!!!"


Or were they?


The people suddenly realized that there was an invisible barrier all around the area where the tower was… the pieces of the tower fell and caused tremors, but they never hit anyone.


"What… does this even means?"


"A barrier… the tower is not falling over us…!"


"Could this be a miracle of Vretrion-sama?"


"But isn"t the tower where he resides?!"


"Yeah, why would he destroy it?!"


As the people glanced with fear and awe, a beautiful fairy overlooked the destruction, Kireina.


She had suddenly teleported here, generated a Dimensional Formation, as she called it, with the help of her Spatial Slime Clones and Kiroid, and then boldly unleashed a giant ray of Life Attribute Mana, it was so strong it completely shattered the entire tower, which began to fall over the ground like meteors.


Everything was falling apart!


And Vretrion and Khustia who were inside… what happened to them?!


BOOM!


Suddenly, a gigantic hand emerged from the pile of boulders made from the destroyed tower, which began to crawl its way up…


Kireina saw with a smile as a tremendous Divine Aura surged from within this hand, as the body of a charcoal-skinned t.i.tan emerged, his size being almost 80 meters… His entire body was packed with muscles and golden tattoos, and he held an enormous and glowing crimson eye in the middle of his face, as large tusks came from his mouth, he had a long white beard and a bald head.


He summoned a giant golden axe, as a smile surged on his face, he didn"t seem p.i.s.sed despite being the embodiment of Pride, but excited.


"Hahaha! Good! So you"ve come, Kireina! I can"t deny that it is you! You and only you would have such an Aura that sends chills down my spine! You"re the chosen one, my chosen enemy!" laughed Vretrion, he was prideful to the point that he thought that Kireina was made specifically for him by destiny, as his trial to advance even further beyond his power, and reach the pinnacle of the world!


She was his ticket to all this power, he would devour her and attain all of her splendor, she was the test! The test he needed to finally surpa.s.s his limits, the one he had to feel stagnant these last thousands of years!


Khustia flew at his side while glaring at Kireina with fear, he was barely containing his fear, her whole presence, and aura, even if seen from far away was terrifying enough to make him almost feel paralyzed, he felt like his perception of reality was twisting around and his heart was beating faster than ever before.


Sweat covered his body and his lips trembled in fear, he felt that his mind was barely containing the enormous encroachment and horror that her entire presence caused! Yet… Vretrion seemed completely unfazed by it, he was glaring at her with his enormous crimson eye without a hint of fear!


Indeed, both were monsters on their own accord, Vretrion"s mind and personality were so strongly influenced by a twisted perception of reality that Kireina"s natural aura of fear was completely useless against his will.


Not even her potent Divine Aura affected him, he was completely fine! He was even laughing and smiling at her, desiring to fight against her and feed his endless pride! He was merely seeing her as a trophy, a challenge he needed to get through, a steppingstone!


But Kireina wasn"t going to fight him.


"Fight? Oh, you mean… fighting me?" asked Kireina with a disgusted face.


"Yes! Of course! What else would it be? Didn"t you come to fight me?!" asked Vretrion.


"Eeeh? No. Why would I fight such a piece of garbage like you? You"re not even an ant worth looking at… In fact, I feel like I am losing brain cells by looking at your stupid face smiling like that… G.o.d, how can you even live with such stupidity?" asked Kireina, making Vretrion"s entire forehead blossom with veins!


"WHAT?! Then WHO is going to fight me?!" roared Vretrion.


"The only one benevolent enough to waste a bit of her time to kill you…" said Kireina, praising her wife as Brontes suddenly emerged from the skies like a brilliant yellow thunder, exploding in the ground and emerging like a thundering t.i.tan, her size was several meters above Vretrion, glaring him from above!


CLAs.h.!.+


"h.e.l.lo, Vretrion, long time no see… I guess you don"t even remember me anymore, don"t you?"
