As the dust settled, Shiro could see a single figure standing in front of the other four.

  Panting heavily, Gaia barely managed to keep the other's safe by exerting her divinity to the maximum, creating a shield around them that automatically revived them if they 'died'. The thing with her domain is that when activated, it could revive a whole army and had a long cooldown.

  "Be careful. That one attack used up all the revives I had. My domain won't appear for a while." Gaia said as she collapsed onto her knees. Even with the power of her domain, there was still a wound on her leg.

  Quickly running to her side, Chronos healed her while keeping an eye on the figure who seemed to be looking for a way out again.

  Walking away from the five, it started to make its way towards the edge.

  Looking at the border of her prison, Shiro wanted to leave so that she could reign destruction upon the world that turned its back against her. Kill the ones who killed her and enjoy the fine wine called revenge.

  However, as the dark feeling was covering her heart, Shiro saw a figure in front of her with a small smile. She had black hair and dark eyes and the same clothes that she wore. The person smiled and shook her head.

  Seeing this, something clicked within Shiro's mind as the fury within her heart faded and she knew she had lost herself in the destructive nature of using her old spells.

  Just as she calmed down, she was torn from the avatar and teleported into a strange space.

  Trying to activate her spells, she found that she was unable to and all the spells on her status screen had been greyed out for now. The figure that appeared before her was also missing but she had more important concerns for now.

  Furrowing her brows, she glanced down.

  "This is wrong. What the hell." Shiro muttered with a frown.

  Without her controlling the avatar, the avatar was now radiating an enormous amount of destruction aura.

  Besides her, two figures appeared.

  One who seemed to be crazy with killing intent in her eyes and the desire to destroy everything in sight and one who's silent but full of anger. Her eyes burned with fury and hatred.

  "This is not wrong. This is what things should be." The second woman said as she looked at Shiro.

  "Why are you so intent on running from your identity? You've even gone as far as to keep yourself fragmented so that your divinity does not recover. Why must you chase such an impossible goal? You cannot and will not obtain creation. The laws of the universe forbids it. You have already tried in the past and the result was your own destruction. Why must you tread the same path again?" She asked as Shiro glanced towards her.

  "Because if I don't then I'll never forgive myself. I cannot let my powers run rampant in this world, or else everything I love will be turned to ash. That cannot happen. I will not let it happen. Therefore, I chase the possibility of creation." Shiro smiled.

  "Plus, it's not as impossible as you might imagine. I've already made some decent progress towards the goal."

  Hearing this, the woman shook her head and sighed.

  "You'll see your foolish ways soon enough. The avatar used for this test has now lost control and it will attempt to break this prison. While the prison is damaged, it still retains some of its powers so it should be restrained for the time being. As for those five, I doubt they can fight an avatar without you holding it back."

  "Well~ I wouldn't know about that. I think they'll do just fine. Plus, I have a little gift for them." Shiro grinned as she clasped her hands together.

  Dark energy gathered around her hand as she closed her eyes.

  "Iriel!" Shiro called out as her necklace broke off and transformed into Iriel.

  Shocked that Shiro could call upon a weapon in this state, the woman watched as she grabbed the blade and launched it towards the five gods.

  Activating Iriel's third effect, Shiro grinned as reality distorted to allow Iriel to arrive by Gaia's side.

  "Third effect, a strike that distorts reality. Iriel is bound to my code and while I don't know what state I'm in with my skills sealed, Iriel is a special exception. It's the first Chaos ranked weapon after all." Shiro laughed.

  ###

  Watching the avatar tread towards the border, Nyx slammed her hand down as a tsunami of darkness rushed towards it.

  "Cover for Gaia and don't let it escape this place! If the gods lock onto its aura, they might make a connection between the First Born of Destruction and Shiro!" Nyx shouted out.

  "I already know that!"

  Raising his hand, Chronos activated a tier 8 magic circle and froze time around the avatar.

  Letting out a cry of laughter, the avatar activated the third gate of destruction.

  A pulse of energy exploded out around her, shattering all the spells targeting the avatar and funnelled the energy into it, empowering the avatar more.

  Aiming its hand towards them, it activated the first gate as destruction energy gathered towards its palm.

  However, before it could fire the attack, the space above it tore apart.

  *BANG!!!!!!

  A single blade slammed down from the skies, shredding the arm and landed beside Gaia.

  Shocked at the appearance of the blade, this was the first time they saw damage on the avatar.

  [Iriel – Soul Blade of the Destroyer – Chaos]

  A blade formed from the masterpiece of Hephaestus, an indestructible sword and an immortal soul of an ancient being. Tempered by the primal forces of destruction, this blade now possesses the power to render all to null. Wielded by the First Born of Destruction, this is the only blade in the world that can handle her power.

  Seeing the description of this blade, Gaia knew that Shiro had sent it to them. Only question is how?

  Shaking her head, Gaia reached out and grabbed the sword. This was no time to ask how, it was time to act and she needed to borrow this sword's power to cut down the avatar.

  Feeling a burst of energy flow into her body, Gaia's body started to recover as she heard a voice in her head.

  "Get the others to support you. You're the only one who can wield me somewhat due to your divinity. If the others hold me, they'll start getting injured by me instead. Don't worry about activating skills, I'll handle that as long as you can make sure you land some hits on the avatar."

  Hearing this voice, Gaia recognised it to be the voice of the Ancient Terror and knew that Shiro must have combined him with Silvanis to create Iriel.

  "Understood." Gaia nodded as she activated some buffs on herself.

  "Support me! Shiro sent this blade over to help but only I can use it right now due to my divinity. Nyx, cover my back and teleport me to suitable locations!" Gaia shouted out as the other four gods nodded their heads.

  Stomping down, Gaia launched herself towards the avatar as Ouranos boosted her speed. Chronos applied a rune to her back that allowed her to flow through the time stream faster, making it seem like she was teleporting through space while another rune appeared on the avatar that slowed it down.

  Swinging its arms towards Gaia, the avatar activated the First Gate of Destruction on the side in an attempt to destroy the thing that cut off its arm.

  "Swing me!" Iriel shouted out as Gaia nodded her head.

  Twisting her body, she felt the energy drain from her body as the runes lit up on the blade surface.

  Iriel Passive Effect!

  You can cut down all forms of magic, and divine spells, converting the energy used for yourself in order to replenish mana or divine energy!

  *KISHHHH!!!!

  Colliding with Veril, Iriel tore the spell apart and absorbed the energy into itself.

  As the only blade in the world that can handle Shiro's destructive energy, it would be ridiculous for it to fail in front of an avatar.

  Using the energy he absorbed from the First Gate of Destruction, Iriel activated his fourth effect.

  You can infuse any element or divinity with this blade and the effectiveness will be boosted by 300% and ignores all resistance towards the element or divinity. (Cannot boost divinity on the level of First Born.)

  Absorbing a part of Gaia's divinity and energy, he fused the two within his body, causing a sickly green energy to radiate from his blade.

  Seeing this, Gaia gestured towards Nyx who teleported her behind the Avatar.

  However, the avatar was prepared and tried to attack Gaia but Tartarus was faster.

  "I'll need Hephaestus to give me a new sword when I head back!" He shouted out as he slammed the greatsword into the body of the avatar, forcing it back while allowing the destructive energy to eat away at his sword but it was worth it.

  With the obstacles now out of her way, Gaia swung the blade without knowing what its effect had done to her stats.

  [Gaia LVL 1000 High Primordial Goddess of Life (Divinity rank 4)]!!!
