The barrier that stood tall from as far as one could remember finally broke down, shattering into thousands of pieces.
The New Gods who had come out to stop Ezekiel were momentarily frozen in place, watching the barrier break. It was as if they had witnessed an impossible sight.
Even the Gods who were back in the realm of gods looked at the sky in confusion, watching the barrier disappear. It was a sight like never before.
The barrier wasn't the one thing that was destroyed. The God of War stood in empty space, taken aback. As the space was destroyed in front of him, it destroyed half his body as well.
Blood trickled down his lips as he saw half his body missing, as if it was swallowed by the destroyed space.
Gabriel wasn't completely unharmed either. However, his condition was still better, since he had moved back as soon as he could.
His entire body was injured. However, he didn't think about that. He didn't celebrate that the barrier was broken either. Instead, he rushed to the God of War, taking advantage of the moment. He didn't want to give the God of War time to heal.
His pitch black sword stabbed through the chest of the God of War, who couldn't even protect himself at the moment. Only his eyes looked in disbelief. Even after giving it his all, he had lost... He had been killed by a man much younger than him.
Ezekiel's powerful attack had destroyed the barrier, thanks to Gabriel. However, that attack didn't stop yet. After being reinforced by him so many times, it was so powerful that even after destroying the barrier, it still flew straight ahead towards the Goddess of Reincarnation who stood in its path.
"Dodge!" The New Gods stopped their battles, reminding the woman to dodge. Now that the barrier was broken, they had more to think about.
The Goddess of Reincarnation ignored their suggestion. She remained standing where she previously stood.
She raised her right hand gracefully, before gently flicking it.
It was as if the space itself momentarily changed, changing the direction of the attack, following her movement.
The attack barely missed her, flying past her. It struck a barren world behind her. A pitch black explosion took place, which swallowed that entire world, swallowing millions of stars. The space which was already so unstable completely broke apart.
In the absence of space, even time behaved unconventionally. Everything slowed down to extremes, as if time itself had stopped in the absence of space.
Ezekiel gazed at the Goddess of Reincarnation, with a frown on his face. "Is your friend not going to show up to protect you today?"
"I don't need anyone's protection," the Goddess of Reincarnation answered.
All the New Gods that had come to face Ezekiel appeared next to the Goddess of Reincarnation.
The Old Gods also arrived. Now that the barrier was broken, they had no choice but to face this Nightmare.
The battle had momentarily come to a halt. Gabriel wiped the blood off his lips. He found it strange that Caen hadn't shown up either.
He appeared next to Ezekiel. The numbers weren't in his favors, but he knew that this was going to be the outcome when he arrived here.
"You don't need anyone's protection?" Ezekiel laughed coldly. "There's that Arrogance that all you gods possess! Just like that man possessed! Why would you think that mere ants can crush you? However, today I will end this once and for all! I will see how long he can hide!"
The Goddess of Reincarnation didn't respond. She just watched the space around them slowly recover.
"Stop being stubborn and stop this. With your strength, you should help this world, not try to destroy the balance!" An old man commented.
He didn't understand why Ezekiel was so stubborn and wanted to destroy the Realm of Gods.
"Oh, believe me. I'm helping this world by getting rid of you parasites!" Ezekiel roared. "This is what I sacrificed so much for!"
His hand had completely healed by now as well. He raised his right hand, calling forth a Sword that even the Goddess of Reincarnation had never seen before.
It was a Sword that was darker than night. Even space and time could easily be sliced by that sword. As soon as he held the Sword, the air surrounding him darkened.
The temperature plummeted, and a gust of wind cut the area. His eyes glowed with a sinister crimson color that sent chills down the spine of many. If Ezekiel appeared dangerous before, then he became even more dangerous with that Sword.
"I will take care of them. You enter the Realm of Gods, and find the guy who hurt you, and make him suffer" Ezekiel told Gabriel.
Since he had brought all the strongest gods in that place to him, most of the realm of gods was unprotected.
"Have your revenge," he said, as he raised his right hand gracefully.
Even the destroyed space couldn't stop Ezekiel from opening a portal. After opening the portal, he gave a sword to him.
Even though the Sword wasn't as strong as his own sword, but it was the same sword which he used in the Abyss to kill so many Abyssal Beasts! It was made from his blood!
Ezekiel was already informed that Caen could control Abyssal Beasts. To take care of that, he handed over that Sword again.
After handing over the sword, he lightly pushed Gabriel inside the portal. He didn't want Gabriel to fight for him. He only brought Gabriel here so that guy could have his revenge. This was him offering his gratitude for Gabriel freeing him.
As for himself, he was willing to face all the strongest Gods alone, even if that put him at a disadvantage.
After the postal closed, Ezekiel took a deep breath, before roaring, "Chaos! Stop hiding! Or until you show yourself, I'll keep killing! I'll keep killing until I paint everything red!"
