Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



He further added, proudly. "Moreover, the last time, he didn't have to face me! That's why he could run freely! However, the current Generation of Gods is much stronger! We can easily kill him!" 

"That's right! We aren't the same as we used to be in the past! We can crush him now! We won't even need Young Lord Caen to join! We would handle it ourselves!"

"That's right. He might be called a taboo, but so what? At the end of the day, he is just one person! We can kill him!"

The Old Gods were mostly silent, since they had personally seen Ezekiel fight. However, the new gods only read about that incident, and didn't know the kind of terror that guy possessed!

Most of them were confident in their own strength! 

The Goddess of Reincarnation frowned, but she didn't retort. Even she didn't know how strong Ezekiel was, compared to his peak. He had been trapped all this time, so it was unclear just how weak he had become. 

Moreover, she also knew that the more she tried to stop these arrogant gods, the more noisy they were going to get. They were all siding with her son, after all. They were born arrogant, and only respected her for show. 

"We can't sit idly. Even though the barrier is unbreakable, but if he somehow breaks it, the war will end up getting here. Instead of fighting the enemy in your home, why not crush him in his own territory!" The Father of one of Caen's friends exclaimed. 

This was a perfect opportunity for them to show the Realm of Gods that the Goddess of Reincarnation was too cowardly, and unsuitable to lead the Realm of Gods. That way, they could push for early coronation of Caen, which was beneficial for him through his son. 

To prove the Goddess of Reincarnation wrong, they had to defeat the person that she thought to be scary!

The Goddess of Reincarnation also realized what they were doing. However, she also understood that she didn't have much of a choice. 

Moreover, at the end of the day, it was their own choice. This way, she could also observe just how strong Ezekiel currently was!

"Fine. If you want to fight, I give you permission to leave the Realm of Gods. However, if you face any dangers, none of us will come to save you," she reminded them. 

"Heh, we won't need help!" The red haired god rolled his eyes. 

He gathered the New Gods who were with him, and willing to fight. On the other hand, most of the Old Gods stayed behind. They weren't as impulsive as the rest. Moreover, they had a similar thought as the Goddess of Reincarnation. They wanted to see just how strong Ezekiel was. 

With the permission from the Goddess of Reincarnation, the New Gods left the Royal Palace, filled with fighting spirit. It had been such a long time since they used their full strength or faced an enemy. Most of them were very excited. 

"The Demon of the Night..." The Goddess of Reincarnation muttered, remaining behind. She raised her head, looking toward the roof as the trembling of the barrier intensified. 

She took a deep breath before she also left. This place was her home. She couldn't rely on others. She had to safeguard this place, even on the off chance that the barrier could be broken. 

Fortunately, there were some preparations made for a time like this, to protect this place. 

****

"Arghhh!" The small crack on the barrier kept getting bigger. However, the barrier still appeared to be far from breaking. 

Ezekiel's entire arm was burned by the terrifying energy of the attack he was reflecting. Even some of his bones were visible, as his clothes were torn. 

Moreover, the dark sphere of energy had become so big, that it was as large as the sun now. 

Gabriel could only watch in amazement. This was the strength that one could be proud of... The strength comparable to a true god... The strength that one needed to protect everything that they wanted to protect. 

Watching that, he had some regret in his eyes. If he could have a similar strength, he could've protected everything he cherished. He could've protected his home... He could've protected his family... He could've protected his friend... Heck, he couldn't even protect his own heart. 

He subconsciously touched his chest, realizing that his heart was gone, replaced by the energy of the abyss. He couldn't even call himself a proper human now. 

He wasn't a human and he wasn't a god. He was something that he didn't understand himself. 

While he was lost in his own thoughts, he noticed the nearby space getting unstable. 

Multiple spatial cracks developed in the surroundings. From each spatial crack, there came a person with a surreal aura. None of them appeared as strong as Caen, yet their strength was nothing to scoff either. 

If anything, they were stronger than the God of Lightning that he had killed, taking advantage of his own Domain. 

In total, there were twenty Gods who came from the Realm of Gods. 

Ezekiel also noticed their presence. "So they sent their dogs?"

"Can you hold them back?" he asked Gabriel. "I can't be distracted right now!"

He was in a battle with the barrier, to see who was going to break first! The first step of bringing the Realm of Gods to Ruins was to first destroy this barrier! If he stopped for even a second, the barrier was going to heal itself, and all his work was going to be for naught. 

Gabriel glanced back at Ezekiel, the person who was still trying to break the barrier even as he went through the pain of having his body slowly be destroyed. 

"Leave it to me... You break the barrier!" There was only one thought in his mind! He had to get to Caen, and crush his heart under his feet!

This was his second time fighting a god without the help of his Domain. However, he promised himself that this time, he wasn't going to lose! He could never lose again!
