Thanatos glanced at the crystal in shock.
As he was relaxing a bit after the failed attempt of an invasion, where he lost six Demon Demigods and most of his mortal forces, he seemed a bit relieved that Kireina did not try to retaliate back to his Kingdom after several hours.
Perhaps she had decided to simply leave them be, for now, knowing the risk of attacking him and his fellow Gods.
But it was very far from the truth.
Thanatos could not help but think of how foolish he was.
He was completely basing all of this on his own wishful thinking, believing his own logic, thinking that Kireina could think like him.
But that was very wrong, Kireina was a grotesque being, an entity with a completely different mind and emotions than him, their minds were far too apart to think alike.
Although Thanatos himself was also grotesque has a Demon God, he was correct, strict, and rather diligent, a nature that not many Demon Gods shared, being more similar to a Human, Dragon, or Titan God.
Perhaps because of such a mindset, the Demon Gods below him that did not think like him abhorred him so much…
Thanatos glanced through the crystal ball, trembling as he saw Kireina emerge out of thin air.
He just realized that she not only had simple Spatial Magic…
She also had Kheseerad's Divinity, that of Foreign Trespassing.
With it, she was even able to ignore such things as Divine Barriers, Divine Realm Barriers, or even Divine Formations effects to an extent…
Based on such power, she could even, very easily, slip through the Divine Barrier he had erected around his Kingdom.
The millisecond after, Kireina generated a gigantic sphere of abyssal chaotic darkness and fired it carelessly into the entire Kingdom's population.
The millisecond after, a loud explosion unfolded, alongside all of the cries of agony from all of Thanatos' mortal citizens.
And then, after a few seconds, he began to slowly lose the constant surge of energy he was getting from his enormous quantity of citizens, it was as if he was constantly charging, but the charge was suddenly cut off and he was now left with just what he had gathered.
All of the other Gods at his side felt the same weakening effect.
To Thanatos, this could only mean one thing.
Tha these citizens were all slaughtered by Kireina's attack, leaving absolutely no survivors at all.
However, the truth was extremely far away from his thoughts.
As time kept going, Thanatos and the other Gods quickly realized that their citizens were not dead.
They were all alive, not a single soul died.
But how could they have lost their power from their beliefs then?
"This is… even worse than killing them!" said Oculus, the Demon God of One Hundred Cursed Eyes
"Kireina… You filthy mortal!!!" roared Jozrath the Demon God of Brutish Savagery
"This is… She's… How?!" asked Milmeloth the Demon God of Rotting Flesh
"Impossible!" said Primidone, the Demon Demigoddess of Deceiving Beauty.
"Thanatos, this is…!" said Kinesis, the Demon God of Brains and Telepathy
"What… What are we going to do now?! Our entire population… suddenly adores Kireina and hates us?!" asked Varilok, the Demon Demigoddess of Phantom Bones.
"This is… insane! Kireina's powers are way too enormous! She's has crossed a line she should have never cross!" roared Drostranith, the Demon Demigod of Burning Desires
As the darkness slowly dissipated, the Gods glanced at their people, who had slightly hanged in appearance.
Kireina had mutated and forced an evolution in them, converting them into her own races.
Any connection the Demon Gods had with the bloodlines of their people was gone, and it was as if Kireina was now their progenitor.
Thanatos entire body began to release a dark presence, as his Divine Realm started to contract!
"Prepare the Divine Formation, all of you, get out!" roared Thanatos, as he began to merge the Divine Realm inside of his Divine Core!
Thanatos was so enraged that he had decided to descend and confront Kireina himself!
The only Demon Gods could only nod in affirmation, against Thanatos wrathful rage, there was nothing they could do to convince him to relax, he had lost all the patience and cool-headedness he had!
His entire body, which resembled a gigantic black knight coated in metallic black armor moved, showing that such armor was in fact his own exoskeleton and that inside there was pulsating flesh and red muscles.
His entire presence began to leak, as the Divine Aura of the Divinity of Everlasting Darkness began to concentrate around his body!
The Gods quickly entered their Divine Realms and generate a quick Divine Formation, around the Thanatos Kingdom, as Thanatos broke apart the space of his Divine Realm, surging from within it as he absorbed it all inside of his Divine Core!
"KIREINAAAAAAA!"
Thanatos roared his lungs out, his flashing crimson eyes gleamed with undying and blazing rage!
Divine Punishment had finally descended!
However, Kireina glanced at this apocalyptic scene rather calmly.
"So he chose to descend and set a Divine Formation, good," she said.
The world around her began to change even more, as the rest of the Gods close to Thanatos also descended, bringing in a lot of other Demigods, those in the lower positions than them and leading them to battle.
All of the gathering here to completely annihilate Kireina.
She could barely count them all, but there were at least over twenty Gods.
Kireina however, instead of fear, could not help but drool.
"I can't wait for all of you to become my power…" she smiled, as she waved her hands!
Flash!
"Nngh?! What is she doing?!" asked Thanatos, descending and raising a gigantic black blade.
Suddenly, an enormous Magic Circle emerged out of nowhere, as if it had been prepared beforehand by other people around her, even though Thanatos could not see anyone except Kireina herself!
The Magic circle started to rate, and in an instant, all of the people within Thanatos were teleported out of the blue!
Flash!
"Such… a long-ranged teleportation Spell! That's… how can she use such a power?!" asked Oculus.
"Wait…! I can sense several other presences around her, she's definitely not alone!" said Jozrath.
"Even if she had somehow acquired the memories of Kheseerad, she can't become so good at Spatial Magic to the point of being able to conjure such a long-ranged Spell that could teleport literally every citizen while ignoring the buildings and other things!" said Kinesis.
"What? Are you surprised?" laughed Kireina.
However, she did not do this alone by herself!
"It all thanks to Kiroid and the Spatial Slime Clones," thought Kireina with a smile.
Days ago, Kireina had created a new type of Slime Clone, which came with a small piece of her Spatial Divinity!
Due to her ability to regenerate her soul, which was made up of many divinities stuck and mixed together, even if she were to cut it off and give it to others, Kireina was able to regenerate the lost pieces in a few days, and even faster if she consumed things such as Divinities, or Legendary Equipment, or even Gods!
Similar to Kiroid, these Spatial Slime Clones had the power to wield Spatial Magic, and she immediately put them to train intensively until at least they could get their Spatial Magic Skill at level 5!
With that, alongside the help of Kiroid and another True Body Clone, she was able to generate such an enormous spell in this time, while she hides from Thanatos eyes by moving within the Spatial Layers, all of her Spatial Slime Clones, Kiroid, and her two bodies worked hard, taking at least more than an hour in setting everything up.
Such spell was enormous, and something that Kireina had not mastered yet, due to that, she needed a great deal of assistance.
Even more, because she did not even know a true Teleport Spell yet, so she had to employ her Divine Warp Skill and several other Spatial Spells and Void Spells until a similar effect to Teleport could finally be achieved, but to the need of affecting such a large quantity of people with the spell and not the buildings around them, the difficulty of the runes needed to construct the Magic circle increased even further.
However, thanks to the assistance of her family and allies, such as Zehe's mastery over magic, Herbell magic knowledge, Ailine's magic talent, and Redgaria's vast wisdom in the study of magic runes, she managed to do so!
In front of Thanatos, all of the mortals he had been taking care of and nourishing this whole time disappeared out of the blue!
The people were teleported inside of Kireina's Inner Realm: Soul World, appearing in an eternally dark world filled with souls!
"My people…! You took them all! I will not have any patience anymore, I will make sure to rip you to shreds!" roared Thanatos.
"Don't worry, we'll also make sure to eat you alive," said Kireina.
"We?! You and what army?!" asked Thanatos, as space all around him and his gods, distorted, opening gigantic rifts where an enormous army of mechanical giants emerged, flying through highly advanced magic technology devices and other items!
The Gods were left in shock!
"There were people with her, but they were aiding her in the spell… So there were even more people?! Just how masterful is her control over Space?! To be capable of generating so many Pocket Dimensions…! This is ridiculous!" roared Oculus in awe.
"Was Kheseerad even capable of doing this much?!" asked Jozrath.
"No, not at all. Kireina has completely innovated in Spatial Magic, I don't think I have ever seen such a masterful use in a long time since the Ragnarök, where many Space Attribute Gods emerged…" said Kinesis.
"GRAAAH! Get off my way!" roared Thanatos, flying towards the group that immediately received him, Agatheina, and all of the Gods from the Pantheon, armed with gigantic mechanical bodysuits enhancing all of their powers, Agatheina led the charge with an enormous crimson spear!
"Thanatos, it is nice to see you again! I can't believe how delectable is seeing you rage like a baby!" laughed Agatheina, as Thanatos immediately recognized her voice!
"Agatheina… you traitor! I will slaughter you and devour your Divinity!" roared Thanatos.
"Then come at me, but I am not alone into this!" laughed Agatheina, as all of the Gods around her supported her in her charge.
Thanatos raised his gigantic black blade as he released an enormous wave of darkness, while Agatheina and all of the Gods at her side combined their powers into one and fired a powerful wave of multiple divinities, disrupting Thanato's attack!
"Now, Proton Missiles!" roared Agatheina, as her gigantic crimson mech opened several cockpits around its body, releasing enormous missiles that flew towards Thanatos!
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Useless!" roared Thanatos, waving his dark blade against the missiles and destroying them immediately, raising his free hand as a gigantic amount of Everlasting Darkness Divinity was gathered!
However, as he gathered the power for an attack, more and more missiles exploded around him, some finally reaching his body and breaking through his preemptive barriers!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"You bastards…! Do these attacks come with Divinity Devouring?! Haha! Good thing I also have it now! Not so unique anymore, are you?! Divine Technique: Infernal Darkness Spear, Divinity Devouring!" roared Thanatos, unleashing a gigantic spear made of pure darkness towards Agatheina!
"Everyone!" said Agatheina, as she gathered the Divinities of everyone, fusing together into a gigantic titan!
Clash! Clash! Clash!
In less than a second, a gigantic titan was formed, as the enormous mech opened a cannon on its chest, charging all of the Gods Divinity into it!
"Eat this you bastard!" roared Agatheina while laughing wickedly, as the enormous blast of power clashed against Thanatos Infernal Darkness Spear, both powers clashing against each other until they canceled each other powers and exploded!
BOOM!
Flash!
Thanatos emerged behind the gigantic mech, summoning even more spears!
"Your tricks will not do against the might of a True God!" he roared.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
All of the Infernal Darkness Spears fell over the combination of Agatheina and the other Gods, blasting their bodies into pieces!
BOOM!
"Gahahaha! Scatter like ash!" Thanatos laughed until he noticed that the mech simply divided itself again!
"What?!"
"I will give it a shot, I have always wanted to fight a bastard this strong!" roared the voice of Merveim, as he clashed against Thanatos left side with his enormous claws, unleashing several techniques at once, releasing constant shockwaves of power that made Thanatos step back!
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!
"So you are Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength! To think that you have reduced yourself to serve a mortal, truly pathetic!" said Thanatos, raising his blade and unleashing a powerful slash of darkness, throwing Merveim away like a ragdoll!
"Unggaah!"
"We are not letting you breathe!" roared Hodhyl, clashing against Thanato's right side, as she generates countless roots of wood around Thanatos entangling his body!
"Useless!" roared Thanatos, exerting a shockwave of power through his Divine Aura and destroying Hodhyl's power, punching her body and sending her away!
Clash!
"Unngooh…!"
"We will not give you any time to rest!" roared Gaia, as she created gigantic mountain-sized boulders of earth, raining them over Thanatos!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Nnngghh…! You… bastards!"
