Rise of The Anti God

"Ehhh!!" Elor had a dumbfounded expression hearing what Damien said and wondered if his ears were working properly or if he became too senile.

Damien cleared his throat and said, "Actually, it was a combined effort, especially with Reva's help, but I was able to put him down in the end," Damien knew Luna was the one who actually killed him, but he couldn't reveal about her existence, and so he had to claim responsibility, especially since Reva thought the same as well.

Elor grabbed Damien's arms as he vigorously shook them and asked in a fervid tone, "A-Are you really telling the truth? You'¦a boy'¦killed a god?" Elor's expression was completely twisted in disbelief since he didn't feel that Damien was lying to him, especially by looking at his eyes.

Aged people like him were very perceptive when it came to matters like these, and he felt that he was telling the truth unless Damien was a gifted liar.

Still, he just couldn't believe it in his mind since Yohr was a god! A divine being that had the power to look down on mortals and treat them as nothing more than inconsequential ants walking beside his feet.

Even if Yohr was in his weakened form, he still had the power and capability to destroy the entire Zirian Empire so easily and even control the Xeton Empire for so many centuries. Any man or woman who dared to challenge Yohr wouldn't even have a speck of their ashes remaining.

Even he witnessed this himself, and his cultivation was at the Profound Ethereal Realm when he got crippled!

Then how did this young man manage to do what he couldn't?

Damien felt a bit embarrassed seeing how shocked Elor was since what he said would seem like overexaggerated bullshit, especially since he knew without Luna's help, he would have no chance of even putting a scratch on Yohr.

Fighting against gods would be akin to challenging the natural laws themselves. It was just impossible for a mortal and would be considered ridiculous if they even dreamed about it.

So he decided to tone down and change a few details as he said, "I know it seems shocking, but Yohr invited trouble upon himself as he tried to take over Reva's body. That was probably why he was giving her his soul essence and even taught her his ethereal arts so that he could smoothly transition himself to her body," Damien was able to put two and two together to deduce why Yohr seemed to support and favor Reva so much for all these years. Since he was a god, something like this shouldn't be impossible for him.

"Wait'¦Do you mean that he was really going to kill my granddaughter as well? My daughter's death wasn't enough?" Elor muttered as veins popped up in his face as his blood boiled in anger. But his expression seemed as if he was not too surprised by this.

"What really happened to Reva's mother?" Damien curiously asked. All this time, he didn't ask Reva since he didn't get a good chance and also didn't want to make her sad by remembering about it.

Elor sighed as he wiped his eyes and said, "The one main reason Ruthren married my daughter even after knowing she was a Zirian was that her bloodline was the purest and contained the Azure King's blood essence in large quantities compared to the rest, including even the Xetonians. This was why Ruthren married her so that he could sacrifice her to Yohr, letting him gain more essence to strengthen himself by devouring her life. The only reason Ruthren even had a child with her was so that he would sacrifice his daughter as well to prove his loyalty and faith to Yohr. But based on what you said, Ruthren didn't expect his daughter to be born with a divine blood essence flowing through her body and a special constitution to have the capability to house a divine soul."

Damien clenched his fists as he learned what happened to Reva's mother, feeling sad for Reva, realizing how much pain she must have been in after her mother's death, though all this time she believed Ruthren was the killer. But he indeed was, in a way, and Damien felt that after Reva learned the truth about Yohr, she must have felt even more devastated about her mother's death coupled with Yohr's betrayal to her people.

"But'¦you still didn't tell me how you killed a god'¦" Elor asked, his expression still baffled.

"Well, when he tried to take over Reva's body, he became temporarily vulnerable, and I decided to use it to my advantage. I really thought I was going to die, but somehow the gods favored me and helped me win," As he said this, Damien was thinking about Luna as the goddess who helped him out.

"I..I can't believe it'¦He is really dead? Is that why Ruthren rushed over to the base with his imperial army and attacked you all? No wonder'¦It makes sense now'¦Otherwise, he wouldn't have any reason to simply launch an all-out attack on us suddenly'¦" Elor mumbled to himself as he felt like things were starting to make sense, though the part about Damien killing a god still felt like a dream to him.

Even if Damien said Yohr was temporarily weakened, he could only imagine how gifted and talented this young man must be to take down a god. He couldn't fathom how much he would grow in the future.

Still, he couldn't be more happy and elated to know that their future wasn't filled with despair and destruction anymore. Now that Yohr was out of the picture, they now at least stood some fighting chance even if they lost a lot of people because of this. As long as this young man before him were to continue to stand beside them, then things would turn out fine.

Damien was feeling a bit weirded out seeing Elor looking at him as if he was looking at some strange monster.

"Ahem'¦senior, can you tell me where this place is? Or how did you end up here?" Damien asked the question he wanted to ask since the moment he landed here.
