Thanatos POV
Few Minutes Ago (While Ilyana and Jack were still fighting the Alliance Gods)
Thanatos stood in the middle of chaos.
He clenched his fists.
’All of their Worlds are trying to weaken me,’ he thought, feeling the pressure closing in from every direction.
He had already deployed billions of his Stage 4 Time Worlds.
Every second, they shimmered, stretched, and folded into each other, trying to resist the weight of the enemy’s Resonance World.
But even then, he could feel himself weakened.
Each step felt like dragging his body through quicksand.
He glanced at the sky, watching the Alliance Gods floating there like silent reapers.
Their presence warped space around them, overlapping their divine Worlds to crush him from all sides.
’Should I use the Black Sun?’
The Black Sun was one of the most dangerous weapons of Ilyana’s kingdom.
He had devoured it already, and made multiple copies of it.
’If I use it, I’ll destroy this entire Resonance World... but the explosion will reach Ilyana’s kingdom too. Jack, Ilyana, the soldiers, everyone will die.’
He took a deep breath.
’There’s a high chance only I and a few other Stage 6 Gods will survive.’
He clenched his jaw.
That wasn’t an option.
He would have to fight with his own strength.
Thanatos raised his hands, and an endless flow of energy burst out from his body.
The ground beneath him cracked and reshaped as if reality itself was struggling to hold him.
But before he could finish gathering power, a calm voice echoed.
"It’s useless." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Thanatos turned his head.
A tall man floated at the center of the Alliance’s formation. He had violet skin, six eyes glowing faintly, short gray hair, and a long black cloak that fluttered in the wind.
That was Argen, the leader of the Alliance Gods.
He snapped his fingers.
A black hole appeared between them.
Thanatos felt his energy flow toward it immediately.
He frowned.
The other Alliance Gods began to channel their power into that black hole, strengthening it even further.
’At least fourteen of them have space as their main element. And all of them are strengthening that thing. It’s created specifically to devour energy,’ Thanatos realized.
Argen smiled faintly. "This black hole was made for your kind."
"..."
Argen’s six eyes gleamed. "It’s a weapon meant to take down Heavenbreakers."
"...."
"Countless years ago, Ultris went on a rampage. After that, we created this weapon to make sure that if another Heavenbreaker appeared, they could be put down before doing the same."
Thanatos didn’t reply.
He simply increased his output of energy.
Seeing that, another God, a woman with long silver hair and blue armor—Lurea—spoke coldly.
"You Heavenbreakers always think you’re invincible. Even Ultris thought the same, until he was crippled. Now it’s your turn, Nameless Death."
Thanatos looked at her silently.
Then he activated a technique.
"[Turn-Based RPG]."
Lurea frowned. "A technique? You really think that will work on us? The difference in our existence is too big—"
Thanatos suddenly cut off his own energy output.
The black hole devoured the rest of the energy he had gathered, emptying his body of power in an instant.
’That’s counted as one turn.’
And then, something unexpected happened.
The bodies of the Alliance Gods froze. It was just for a fraction of a second.
But that was enough.
Thanatos disappeared from where he stood.
In the next instant, he was behind Argen.
He grabbed the six-eyed God by the neck and slammed him down toward the ground.
The air exploded as they crashed.
"Damn it!"
"He got the Argen!"
"Attack him! Don’t let him devour Argen!"
A rain of elemental and divinity attacks fell upon Thanatos, but he didn’t stop.
He smashed Argen into the ground again, raising his fist to strike once more.
Argen twisted his body and swung back, his punch shattering Thanatos’s arm.
Thanatos’s arm regenerated immediately.
The two clashed, their blows shaking the world around them.
Each time Argen struck, Thanatos countered.
Each time Thanatos hit, Argen blocked just enough to survive.
’No, it can’t be him.’
’Then—’
Thanatos stiffened.
There was only one person he could think of.
Someone who had interfered with him before.
The Ancient Dragon who sealed his clone while Laplace killed his friends.
"It’s you," he muttered. "Velion!"
He stopped fighting and shot up into the sky at terrifying speed.
The Alliance Gods shouted and attacked after him, but he ignored them.
He gathered his power.
He aimed it at the boundary of the Resonance World, aiming to destroy it.
He knew the chances of success were low.
But he didn’t care.
He threw his fist forward.
The boundary cracked slightly under the force of his punch.
But then, something else hit that same spot.
A massive force from outside struck the same point, in perfect sync with his attack.
The entire Resonance World shuddered.
The barrier broke apart, fragments of space scattering like shattered mirrors.
The Alliance Gods froze.
"What the hell just happened?!" one of them shouted.
Argen’s six eyes widened. "Someone attacked from outside...?!"
But Thanatos didn’t wait.
He burst through the crack before it could close again.
The light swallowed him as he escaped the Resonance World, leaving the eighteen Gods behind in shock and confusion.
None of them realized that the one who had attacked from outside wasn’t one of their allies—
"Jack?" Thanatos froze, seeing a hole in another Complete World, far from him.
The attack had come from there, and struck the boundary of the Complete World Thanatos was trapped in.
Even Illyana, who was flying towards Thanatos, froze.
"Who is that...?"
Jack — no, the person in his body — looked at Thanatos for a moment before facing the Alliance Gods in front of him.
The boundary of Complete World was sealed again, and Thanatos was no longer able to see him.
