There was another silence that lingered in the air after Death’s aura appeared.
It had stabilized, so I knew that Death had already finished taking over the body of the former president of the Democratic Union. At this point, all that Death was doing was just looking at me in silence like this.
In the end, Death still broke the silence by saying, "Everything that you do is meaningless, you cannot hope to match our lord."
It wasn’t even a suggestion, it was said as a statement.
This was very clearly him looking down on me, but there wasn’t anything that I could say.
After all, I didn’t think that I would be able to do anything to a revived God of Destruction.
There was a reason why they were the God of Destruction after all.
Still, it wasn’t as if I would give up just because of a few words.
There was a reason why I was going against the God of Destruction.
It was simply because they were the God of Destruction and their goal was destruction.
"I could say the same to you. Your lord was sealed once, don’t you think that it’ll happen again? After all, I’ve already taken care of two of you Four Omens, so it’s not as if I can’t take care of the rest of you." I said in a confident voice, but it was hard to have this confidence.
Especially in the face of the aura that Death was releasing.
He didn’t say anything as he narrowed his eyes to look at me again, but then he suddenly said, "Do you really think that those two idiots are in the same class as the rest of us? Those two only have their positions because they are useful. Other than that, there is nothing special about them."
I didn’t argue this since I could feel it firsthand.
The aura that both Death and War released was far stronger than the aura that Famine and Pestilence had released. Even if Famine and Pestilence combined their power, they wouldn’t have been able to match either one of them.
So in the end, I really couldn’t say anything in response.
Seeing that I was silent, Death just said, "Surrender now and you’ll be able to take your place in the new world. After all, creation comes after destruction. After this world is destroyed, the true world will be created."
I didn’t say anything to this.
I could guess that this was how the God of Destruction had convinced these Four Omens to follow it. But there was no telling if what it said was even true since it was impossible to know what would come after the destruction of the world.
Before I could say anything, there was something that changed with Death as well.
It seemed like there was something else that was taking over Death’s place.
For something to have the authority to even push death out of the way, there was only one thing that it could be.
"How are you, my child?"
This was a familiar voice, but the tone that it took was completely different from before.
I really didn’t know what to say in response.
After all, it felt like it was a completely different person that I was talking to.
In the end, I slowly asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Very good, you’re direct. I like that about you, my child."
The former president of the Democratic Union narrowed his eyes before saying, "I really like you, so I want you to come to my side. Take my mark from this vessel and you’ll be my one true apostle, the one above all others. Even the Four Omens will be at your command."
After saying this, the former president of the Democratic Union raised his hand as if he was offering it to me.
I just simply couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I should be considered the biggest obstacle in the God of Destruction’s way, but it was offering me a place by its side as if it was forgetting everything.
Even if it wanted to offer me this place, would it be possible with the divine energy that was inside of me?
After all, this divine energy was different from the divine energy that I received from the rest of the gods. This was divine energy that came from the God of Creation, which meant that it was the direct opposite of the destruction energy that the God of Destruction possessed.
So even if it wanted to offer me a place by its side, it wouldn’t be possible...
However, it wasn’t hard for me to understand why it would do something like this when I thought about it.
Since I was the one that was chosen by the God of Creation, it meant that it would be much easier if the God of Destruction were to bring me under its fold. This would be like taking care of the biggest thorn in its side.
Though it wasn’t as if there was anything that the God of Destruction could offer me to make me consider this.
"I’ll let you be a God of Creation in your own little world with whoever you want. There won’t be anyone that will bother you for the rest of time, you’ll be able to do whatever you want."
There was a part of me that was a bit enticed by this, but I knew that the God of Destruction couldn’t be trusted.
It was a small world that the God of Destruction could destroy at any time.
Saying that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything was like saying that I was nothing more than a toy in the palm of its hands.
As such, there was no way that I would take this deal.
The only answer that I could give was...
"Goodbye."
As I said this, I released divine energy ice that surrounded the former president of the Democratic Union.
Through him, the God of Destruction said with a laugh, "My offer is still open, accept it anytime. But don’t take too long or you’ll regret it."
