Ch.77Ep.77 Two Fragments

“Defeat a being with Divine Order in battle.”

Radios knew how unrealistic this demand was.

‘My legs are trembling just standing here, and they want me to fight and win?’

The reward might be obtaining an Order, but the difficulty level is absolutely insane!

The only fortunate thing was that Yog-Sothoth had considerably shrunk back after hearing Azathoth’s voice.

From his perspective, if Azathoth were to appear again, everything would be over.

If just hearing his voice causes seizures, I really don’t understand why he betrayed him in the first place.

[If you utilize Outer Devouring well, you could achieve victory in battle.]

‘What? Don’t talk nonsense. How can I defeat a being with Divine Order when I don’t even have an Order myself?’

[I didn’t say kill. I only said win.]

‘…Haha, so you planted that trick?’

Radios’s expression showed that he finally understood Azathoth’s words.

That’s right. The system said to defeat a being with Divine Order in battle, not to kill them.

If he could make Yog-Sothoth give up and flee, that would be it.

It was as if the difficulty of the preliminary battle to obtain an Order had been greatly reduced.

“Why are you so scared? You can’t even attack properly because you’re afraid I’ll use Outer Devouring, right?”

“…Stop talking nonsense. Even if you’ve gathered two fragments, you can’t use Outer Devouring.”

“But I can.”

Boom boom boom.

As Radios used the power: Outer Devouring, the boundary that existed only once across past, present, and future began to shake.

Since this boundary was also a space created by Yog-Sothoth’s Divine Order.

Outer Devouring began to erode that space, slowly making its form disappear.

Seeing this, Yog-Sothoth gritted his teeth as he stared at Radios.

‘Of all things, he took Infinity…! If I don’t kill him here, there won’t be a next time!’

Outer Devouring was frightening, but if Radios could truly perfectly handle Azathoth’s power.

He would have immediately devoured his power instead of stopping there.

Because he knew all too well how insane Azathoth was in his prime.

“Radios Magnum..! I’ll kill you right here!”

Kwaaaang!

With Yog-Sothoth’s declaration, the Crescent Blade of Barzai flew to his hand.

At the same time, the Necronomicon floated behind him and began chanting forbidden spells.

‘Can I block that?’

[Yes. You can easily remove the damage from the Crescent Blade of Barzai with Outer Devouring.]

‘Then what about the Necronomicon? Are you telling me to just take the hit?’

[As long as your heart doesn’t break while wearing that strange mask, you’ll survive, right? Just take it.]

Crunch.

Radios gritted his teeth at Azathoth’s nonchalant words.

Though he said he wouldn’t die, Azathoth must know that the pain would accumulate.

“Die!”

Slash!

As Yog-Sothoth swung the crescent blade, a space-cutting attack rushed toward Radios.

However, he skillfully handled Outer Devouring and completely nullified the space cut.

Next, he created a revolver with Astrape and fired divine killing bullets in succession.

“Do you think such primitive things can wound my body?”

“Tch, so it doesn’t work?”

But just before the divine killing bullets penetrated Yog-Sothoth’s body, they were completely annihilated by his Divine Order.

The Divine Order that Yog-Sothoth uses is “Boundary.”

The meaning of the word boundary itself refers to the limit by which things are distinguished according to certain criteria.

In other words, it can also mean the consequences one receives according to the principle of cause and effect.

That is, if you interpret Yog-Sothoth’s Divine Order differently, it can be seen as equivalent exchange.

‘He uses tremendous power while sacrificing something. This is just a guess, but…’

[That’s right. He always borrowed the Divine Fragment: Infinity from me when entering battle.]

‘I knew it! That guy must use an enormous amount of magical power to use his Divine Order.’

In exchange, the power of his Divine Order itself would be far superior to others with Divine Orders.

Fighting Yog-Sothoth with infinite magical power? Yeah, not a situation I particularly welcome.

Still, the fact that Radios could be this relaxed showed just how overpowered the Divine Fragment: Infinity was.

Because his magical power and life force are infinite, he has no hesitation in using divine killing bullets and divine annihilation light swords.

Although the duration isn’t long yet, that’s still something.

At least if he can “defeat” Yog-Sothoth.

“You’re more than welcome.”

“..!”

Radios began randomly firing the newly created skill called divine annihilation light sword.

With infinite magical power and life force, and a time limit, there was no need to hold back.

“I’ll render all your cheating skills completely useless.”

“Radios Magnuuuum!”

“Tear everything apart!”

Boom!

Under Radios’s command, infinitely generated divine annihilation light swords rushed toward Yog-Sothoth.

He hurriedly opened the Necronomicon to create a barrier and.

“Hyaah!”

He also used spatial isolation with the Crescent Blade of Barzai to block the divine annihilation light swords from reaching him, but.

“You don’t learn, do you?”

“Damn it!”

The spatial isolation created by the Crescent Blade of Barzai was nullified by Outer Devouring.

Crash crash crash!

The barriers created by the Necronomicon began to break one after another.

Yog-Sothoth abandoned his dignity and rolled on the ground to avoid the divine annihilation light swords, but,

“I still have hundreds more.”

“You damn bastard…!”

Whoosh!

What he faced was a continuous shower of divine annihilation light swords.

Yog-Sothoth had no choice but to use his Divine Order of boundary.

The power he used was to set a boundary between the divine annihilation light swords and himself.

‘If my prediction is correct… Azathoth still can’t absorb Divine Orders.’

Outer Devouring definitely has limitations. As evidence, he hasn’t been able to absorb the Necronomicon’s magic with Outer Devouring since earlier.

This was because the Necronomicon’s magic was used through Yog-Sothoth’s magical power.

In a way, it could be seen as a degraded version of Divine Order.

‘Damn it…! I was already exhausted from the ongoing battle!’

Because of Nyarlathotep’s injury, Yog-Sothoth had to face Tartarus and Atlas almost alone.

Even though Idra helped, she couldn’t provide direct assistance.

Her role was always to incorporate the Underworld into the Outer God territory.

She couldn’t focus on combat because she was working on the most important task, and in the end, Yog-Sothoth had to fight the two alone.

Atlas’s Divine Order of giant strength and Tartarus’s Divine Order of hell matched too well together.

To land an effective hit, he had to approach Atlas, but.

Tartarus’s hellfire blocked that, and while he hesitated, Atlas’s fist shot out.

Even if he blocked that, Tartarus’s magic would come at him again.

Even if he managed to break through everything and get a chance to attack, it was a repeating cycle.

No matter what he did, it was impossible to break through their solid defense.

Of course, that thought didn’t last long.

When Yog-Sothoth used his Divine Order of boundary to cut off one of Atlas’s arms, accepting the loss.

Only then did the advantage clearly shift to his side.

The reason he didn’t bring a fragment was because there was no need to use it.

He regretted it once after seeing Atlas and Tartarus, and he blamed himself for doing something really stupid as soon as he detected Radios’s contact.

Yog-Sothoth himself knew how disadvantageous it was to fight someone with the Infinity fragment while exhausted.

It could be a situation where he might have to prepare for annihilation if he made a mistake.

“Damn it all!”

Boom boom boom.

Finally, Yog-Sothoth released his domain and absorbed all the power that had been permeating it.

Then, an enormous magical power surged within his body.

Until now, he had set boundaries for the public good, but.

“From now on, it’s different. I, who have absorbed all my powers that permeated this domain…”

Will show power of a completely different dimension.

With those words, Yog-Sothoth unleashed his Divine Order to the fullest.

It was no longer time to conserve magical power.

“…Where did this bastard go?”

When he came to his senses, Radios had completely disappeared as if he were an illusion.

Come to think of it.

“…I haven’t heard Azathoth’s voice for a while now.”

Azathoth could speak through the fragment, and Yog-Sothoth had heard him.

But suddenly he fell silent, and during the brief battle with Radios, he didn’t even make a sound.

Something feels unsettling.

Yog-Sothoth expanded his range of perception as much as possible to search for traces of Radios and Azathoth.

“What, did these guys really disappear?”

They ran away just because he absorbed one boundary?

That really doesn’t make sense.

As long as they could use the power of infinity, they would normally try to fight somehow–

“Ah, wait a minute… Could this feeling be…”

Yog-Sothoth urgently visualized the strings connected to him.

There should have been three strings, but only one remained.

That’s right.

Someone else had stolen a fragment and fled.

“Aaaaargh!”

Crash crash crash!

Yog-Sothoth roared in unbearable anger.

He could be certain that Radios hadn’t stolen it.

There wasn’t enough time for him to steal it, and he completely disappeared without a trace as soon as the boundary vanished.

Then who on earth took the fragment?

“Unforgivable!! How dare you!”

Yog-Sothoth roared in fury.

And in a dark shadow.

A woman who had finally formed a physical body was looking at Yog-Sothoth with an evil smile.

“I’ll make good use of this, Radios.”

The woman, Veichel, looked at the Divine Fragment: Iron Blood in her hand.

Crunch!

She immediately shoved it down her throat and “spirit-devoured” all the power contained within it.
