Paragon of Death

261 Chapter 260: Perfect host!

Damon remained in mid-air as he felt the souls surge into his body, accumulating their power of faith creating a powerful shockwave that sent ripples around the world.

“I really can’t suppress it anymore,” Damon said with a bitter smile as he looked ahead with a deep frown.

In the distance, he could see a silver flash moving through the enemy forces and cutting them down skillfully and he sighed.

It’s time to bid these people goodbye and hand over everything to Blink as planned.

Damon’s eyes chilled as his body vanished in a cloud of smoke, reappearing at the southern part of the battlefield.

While many would expect a fierce battle to be ongoing here but it was the opposite. Rose, the goddess of the spear, left her soldiers behind and fled after she was overwhelmed by Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa but what happened next was what was more shocking.

Six figures appeared representing all the elements the new gods should possess and began decimating the enemy forces without restraint. By the end of it all, they quickly surrounded Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa, only then did they realize something was wrong.

“What is the meaning of this?” Gin asked with cold eyes but Elsa seemed to be shivering.

This had all happened as part of the vision she and Ducalian shared. Before she could even alert the rest a terrible darkness exploded above and Damon appeared above. He had returned to his human form but his hair was as white as a sheet of paper and his robes remained normal.

.....

The current Damon looked more human than ever and outside having green pupils and completely black eyes, he didn’t even look pale or anything. Instead, he seemed to be surging with life force.

Too much!

Gin frowned at the site of this and looked at Damon.

“This thing you are trying to do, will change you forever… are you sure you are ready for such a change?” Gin asked and it seemed only he and Damon could understand his words.

“Change is constant we just need to be ready to adapt and do whatever is necessary to win!” Damon said calmly.

Heh!

“So what’s the plan now? Take our powers and fight alone?” Gin said with a deep frown and the other two frowned but Damon shook his head and sighed.

“Am I really a monster to you guys? I only killed those who haunted us down and are still a potential threat yet I’m the bad one” Damon said with a patient smile that sent shivers down the spine.

“I was betrayed and I did what is necessary and yet I’m the bad one…” Damon said as the smile slowly faded and a deep frown began to form.

“You know, I learned a few things during my short thirty-plus years in the mortal realm… there is no such thing as good and evil…. It’s all about perspective… the victor writes history… might make right… hesitation kill and only a greater evil can consume a lesser evil...” Damon said with narrowed eyes.

“I won… I will ascend and take the place of the sole god after I kill the old gods. I will write history so it doesn’t matter anymore… the end justifies the means. The wicked live longer” Damon said casually before stretching his hand and a powerful suction force exploded from his hand.

At first Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa planned to resist but then they realized it wasn’t having any effect on them but something else.

“You dare betray me, Michael!”

“Meta!!!!”

“Gaia, think about what you are doing!”

The three souls of the original hosts of life, force, and nature surged out of the trio and into Damon’s body.

Boom! ｆ𝓇𝘦𝚎𝑤e𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵe𝗹. c𝒐𝘮

Immense ripples exploded from Damon’s body but he didn’t even bother explaining what he did.

“You know, I may have been the greatest evil but at least I knew where to direct my evil. I could differentiate between friends and foes but the same couldn’t be said for you all. I am the victim here” Damon said with his back turned on the three before he vanished alongside the six guardian spirits.

....

Swoosh!

Damon appeared in his seclusion chamber and quickly took a comfortable position and began consuming the souls of the three. With the six guardian spirits there to help him break the defensive shells of these beings, he quickly consumed their soul and another shockwave exploded from Damon’s body but this time he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blegh!

Demos and the other hosts paled as they saw this.

“Damon’s body was rejecting this power!” Demos paled

“These powers were never meant to be combined… It was never meant to be controlled by one person!” Meta gasped.

“Silence and watch me do it…. While this is still ongoing, my life is in your hands” Damon said calmly before shutting his eyes and letting his consciousness sink deep into his soul.

There he saw the five different souls belonging to the original new gods, including those gotten by consuming Fei and Raizen of the Dragon race.

With him as the center, he released the devouring power and began absorbing the six, forcefully pulling them toward him. By now the consciousness within the souls had been crushed so the process was going far smoother than many would expect. Only after the souls collided did the hard part begin.

It felt like all the souls began spinning around Damon’s soul and their power slowly began surging into his soul, becoming a part of it as a fusion process was going on.

Buzz!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions rocked the world sending shivers down the spine of all those who dare to see it and a lone figure shot into the air with his hair revealing various colors representing various elements.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Fierce flames, a storm, a sand storm, a mana surge, life, and death surged relentlessly with this man in the center and his majestic hair fluttering madly.

The six guardian spirits knelt from a distance and watched with excited looks in their eyes.

“We have succeeded! We have created the perfect host! A new God has been born!”
