A faint blue smoke rose from Aiolos’ body in the Underworld and disappeared. He couldn’t feel the same strength he had before. Aiolos was barely alive in a weak—but non-life threatening—condition. He gasped and slowly lifted his hand from the black crystal ball.
Yoo Seonyeong asked him with an anxious expression, [Are you okay?]
“Yes, I’m f...ine. Gasp.”
Yoo Seonyeong looked at Aiolos’ body with Pluto’s eyes. Now there was no longer the aura of a sacred creature of the wind from him. The Aiolos in front of her had become an ordinary soul.
“Thank you, Pluto. Thanks to you, I could properly transfer power to that child. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can help with closing the doors to the Underworld.”
Aiolos wiped at his sweat. Yoo Seonyeong kindly told him that it didn’t matter. It was fine since she had already recovered around 50% of her strength. Alexus grinned while the tundra dragon snorted as he looked coldly at the translucent screen.

Lee Geonmyeong opened his eyes from where he was absorbing Gaia’s power in front of the golden apple tree.
[This aura...]
He frowned like he couldn’t believe it. He had been in a hurry to unseal Gaia when he realized that Choi Chuntaek couldn’t turn back time again. There could be an error here if someone attacked him by surprise so he was watching the war with his eyes closed. Suddenly, an indescribable energy of the heavens and earth gathered together and moved in the form of a huge storm.
[The Gaeram! Wasn’t it said that they wouldn’t appear until Aiolos died and a new Pungbaek appeared? If they show up like this, then it means that guy’s bloodline is still alive!]
Lee Geonmyeong sighed as he touched his chin and fell into distress.
During Ragnarok, the damage caused by the Army of Death was beyond imagination. It wasn’t just in the human world, but also in the celestial world. The only ones who could stand against immortal beings were other immortal beings. If the Gaeram had participated in Ragnarok at the time, then countless forces could’ve been preserved.
Lee Geonmyeong had already killed Aiolos at the time and realized his mistake too late. Now it was terrible that the Army of Death and the Gaeram were on the same side.
[Huh, if it isn’t done well then the war will be overturned in an instant. I have to step up.]
Lee Geonmyeong slowly raised both hands and started moving the sky.

Punghee looked around at those surrounding her with a dazed face. Above Punghee’s head, there was the figure of a white tiger with five-colored antlers floating in the wind. A dazzling light erupted from her and created two colorful antlers on her head.
She was able to receive strength through Aiolos’ voice in her head and finally awakened from the immediate understanding. She quickly regained her cool and ordered them to attack the demons.
“As Pungbaek commands.”
Eurus of the east wind, Zephyrus of the west wind, Notos of the south wind, and Boreas of the north wind led different Gaeram soldiers and spread to the east, west, south, and north. A terrifying storm struck and the demons died at an astonishing speed.
Boreas of the north wind ran to the North Pole soldiers led by Santa Claus and the wolf couple Romelana and Remus. The demons were frozen and smashed with a hammer. Notos of the south wind led the Gaeram to the place where Atlantis and the three goddesses were fighting. Zephyrus of the west wind helped the humans fight while surprisingly, Kerenos was wielding his wind spear in all directions by his side.
“The time has come to use the new techniques I’ve gained from enlightenment.”
Kerenos quickly took a posture and created a terrifying, deadly wind at the tip of his spear. For a moment, a giant bird was formed behind him. Then the spear moved horizontally and the bird flew along with the call of a phoenix. The phoenix of the wind tore through the space and the surroundings became ruined as the space started to twist. The demons who heard the phoenix’s cry had their bodies shattered at the same time.
Kerenos danced around happily with the spear. Every time his spear danced, the phoenix moved back and forth along with the tip of the spear. It was as if he was controlling the phoenix of the wind.
“You are better than Mugen.” Zephyrus laughed when he saw it. He also swung his fan made of wind and swept away the demons.
Around this time, Eurus of the east wind set off with a hot wind and met the orcs. He burned the demons that the orcs and Gorba had been dealing with. Then he helped the dokkaebis and vampires by burning everything.
Punghee was pleased by the sight and quickly turned her body white. A silver thunderstorm circled her body and thunder was once again heard. By the time the gray dust cleared away, she was no longer there. The place where Punghee appeared was Choi Chuntaek’s location.
* * *
At this time, I could clearly feel that the situation on the battlefield was reversing. Punghee finally awakened and regained her natural strength, leading the Gaeram to repel the demons. Then a white flash came from far away and all the demons around were cut in half.
The demons who couldn’t react to it collapsed. Naturally, the star fragments near me shot beams of light in all directions so they couldn’t come back to life. After this, a woman’s voice was heard.
[I’ll take care of the demons!]
I nodded and moved my gaze back to Lucifer. The one who spoke to me earlier was Punghee. I slowly moved back to the place where Lucifer was attacking Hercules. The nearby demons were rapidly being cleaned up.
[......]
Lucifer’s cold gaze turned to me. On his other side, I could see the bloody Hercules slowly losing his strength. I took my eyes off him and gazed at Lucifer again.
[Why don’t you try fighting me once?]
[......]
Lucifer still had a cold face. He glanced down and closed his eyes like he had a hunch that things were going badly. Just then, someone else flew to this place.
“...I’ve come.” It was Park Muyeol. Behind him were Ashtar’s two big heads. Park Muyeol looked majestic as if he had won some loot. Naturally, he was holding a bloody wooden sword and the dimensional scissors in his hands.
Over time, others gradually started to gather. Among them were Aries and several constellations. Lucifer was slowly surrounded. He looked at the people around him and burst out laughing madly. [Kuhahaha!]
Everyone watched Lucifer with a cold gaze. Lucifer laughed loudly for five seconds before he became serious. He opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth.
[Do you think you have won?]
[What does that mean?]
The moment the question was asked, dark clouds started to form in the sky. Suddenly, an intangible energy seemed to be pressing on my shoulders. Then there was a flash. Then one of the constellations around me was hit by a thunderbolt and turned to ashes with a scream. Fortunately, there was black smoke and the constellation was slowly revived.
[......!]
Then a tremendous energy was felt from the sky and a series of attacks burst out in the blink of an eye. It was a terrifying thunderbolt attack and we didn’t know where it would strike.
[Jupiter!]
The moment that Aries cried out, several constellations wielded swords to counter the thunderbolts. They couldn’t last long and were revived. The problem was that their revival was becoming slower. Perhaps it was because it was an attack from an original god. It seemed that even Pluto’s power was gradually being broken down.
Aries felt it and her face paled. The battlefield was shaken again. Gaeram and the Army of Death attacking the demons were helpless due to the thunderbolts from the sky. It looked like a disaster. No one could resist the punishment of a god. Lucifer swung his claws again. The war had accelerated again. The demon army regained their momentum and launched a counterattack. Now no one could predict who would win.
I unleashed a series of attacks on Lucifer along with the others.
[Stupid.]
Lucifer scattered all our attacks using the power to realize imagination. Park Maksun joined us and shouted like it was absurd, “Hey, that rotten thing is using such a vicious skill! I don’t know if we have a chance of winning!”
Park Muyeol quickly spotted Lucifer and tried to use the scissors to cut off one of his arms. It was just that Lucifer already anticipated it. He simply flicked his finger and made his body transparent by using his ability to realize imagination. The dimensional scissors cut through the air. Then a fist aimed at Park Muyeol in the gap he revealed when he couldn’t cut anything.
Park Muyeol fell to the ground at a terrifying speed. He barely revived and got up with a frustrated expression while gritting his teeth. Park Maksun appeared by his side and used flying magic. This allowed Park Muyeol to easily fly in the sky. All the attacks pouring at Lucifer passed through him and Park Muyeol grumbled like it was absurd, “How can there be a guy like this?”
[Yes.] I also shook my head.
“The guys down here have a problem as well. I think we need to deal with the thunderbolts first.”
[......]
Before I knew it, the sun set and the moon rose. The war had already lasted for half a day. Endless sounds of destruction were heard from the surroundings. As the stars shone in the night sky, terrifying magic and skills came from below. There, everyone who was prepared for death was struggling.
I looked up at the air again before taking to the sky to unleash a new dance. Finally, I completed the Moon Flying Kick Techniques of the Flying Weather Dance, f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
[Moon Shadow.]
A dazzling light emanated from the moon in the sky and flashed over the people below. At the same time, shadows rose from the ground and started to help out by imitating the attacks of the owner of the shadow. The shadows could replicate half of their master’s attacks, but this was temporary and only lasted 10 minutes. It was because I was forced to use my magic power since I couldn’t absorb the energy of the moon. There were three shadows floating behind me. There was an illusion like I had used a cloning technique.
Users and NPCs who sensed the abnormality were a bit surprised. Then they soon realized that the shadows were helping them. Morale rose and they started to attack the demons. Park Muyeol and Park Maksun stared at the shadows beside them with a blank expression. Then they made eye contact with each other and nodded.
The two of them flew back to Lucifer. I stared at their backs for a moment and was about to follow.
Then something happened...
-Ah, ah, can you hear me?
