Episode 639

Raguel’s roar, filled with fury, echoed in all directions.

A deep, resonant hum filled the air as countless rings of light emerged from Raguel’s hands, spinning and merging into a radiant sphere that cast its glow far and wide.

The faster the rings spun, the more intense the light became.

In the past, Raguel had wielded this power to reshape landscapes and even sink entire islands. Now, he intended to use it to not only shatter Zeke’s purgatory but to obliterate Atlas and the entire Midland. Such was the terrifying and merciless nature of a celestial’s wrath.

The ground trembled as Raguel prepared to unleash the light of destruction upon the earth.

“Strike down that arrogant spawn of the heavens!” Asmodi shouted, raising his bone sword high and rallying his skeletal warriors. The fearless and fiercely loyal Bone Legion charged at Raguel with reckless abandon.

The light emanating from Raguel’s body surged toward the Bone Legion, forming a barrier that halted their advance.

“Break through! Show our lord your devotion!” Asmodi’s fanatical command spurred the Bone Legion forward, their blind faith driving them to hurl bone spears at the celestial.

Though the spears couldn’t harm Raguel directly, they were an annoyance he couldn’t ignore.

“Insignificant pests!” Raguel despised the demons of the underworld even more than the beings of the mortal realm. To him, they were the corrupted followers of fallen celestials, beyond redemption.

While he believed the mortals could be cleansed and saved by his divine fire, he saw no such worth in the demonic spawn.

Determined to eradicate the unholy Bone Legion before casting his light of destruction, Raguel’s power intensified, his amber eyes flashing with a chilling light.

A terrifying force capable of erasing existence itself surged toward the Bone Legion.

But just then, the Dawn Brigade leaped forward, their swords blazing with fierce energy. The demonic knights, led by Arataso, unleashed a protective wave that resonated with their combined might.

The celestial light clashed with the demonic shield, but the Dawn Brigade’s power was insufficient to withstand Raguel’s devastating force.

The protective wave shattered, and the destructive light swept across the battlefield, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Raguel laughed, a cruel, mocking sound. “Look at them squirm and vanish like the insects they are!”

Caught in Zeke’s provocation, Raguel abandoned his celestial dignity, revealing his emotions like a petulant child. When a celestial descends to the mortal realm, they become susceptible to such emotional swings, unlike their detached state in the heavens.

This vulnerability was precisely what Zeke exploited when targeting the celestials.

Raguel’s hands vibrated with the power of destruction as he prepared to deliver his final judgment.

“With this, all that is wicked shall vanish, and light shall grace the earth,” he declared, echoing the words once spoken by celestials at the fall of Carcosa.

Zeke raised a finger toward Raguel, summoning a pillar of purgatorial fire to strike the celestial.

But Hela, bound by the flames, opened her maw and devoured the purgatorial fire, her own flames burning brighter with each bite.

As the purgatorial fire was consumed, Zeke watched intently, while Raguel, satisfied, raised his hand higher.

“Behold, the decree of the divine,” Raguel proclaimed, casting the light of destruction toward the earth.

Just as the light was about to descend, time froze, and the destructive light halted mid-air.

Raguel’s eyes blazed with anger. “You dare use your tricks again!”

He commanded Hela to attack Zeke, and she unleashed a torrent of white flames upon him.

The powerful flames engulfed Zeke, leaving no trace of him above the burning city.

Raguel’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction, but then something unexpected happened.

The white flames parted, and from within emerged not Arataso or Asmodi, but an ordinary Death Knight, charging toward Raguel with a crude sword.

“Insignificant wretch!” Raguel seethed with rage at the Death Knight’s audacity to enter his domain.

His amber eyes flared, unleashing a beam of light at the intruder. Yet, astonishingly, the Death Knight’s sword deflected the celestial light.

The Death Knight’s aura disrupted the beam, allowing him to advance toward Raguel.

“How dare you trespass in the sacred domain of a celestial!” Raguel roared, his body radiating a blinding light.

The Death Knight was exposed to the celestial’s aura, revealing his true form.

“You… you!” Raguel stammered, recognizing Zeke beneath the Death Knight’s guise.

Zeke had used a decoy to distract Hela, while his true self infiltrated Raguel’s domain.

Such tactics were common in human warfare but unfamiliar to celestials, leaving Raguel vulnerable to Zeke’s cunning.

Zeke charged with his sword, Levatein, infused with all his might.

Raguel, caught off guard, was consumed by rage. “You insolent fool!”

He attempted to unleash another beam of light, but Zeke was faster.

Zeke’s sword sliced through the beam, leaving a shallow wound on Raguel’s avatar.

Though minor, the unfamiliar pain made Raguel howl in agony.

The rings of light around him flared with intensity, and cracks began to spread across his avatar.

Zeke expanded his Shadow Armor, shielding himself from Raguel’s radiant aura.

Despite the searing heat, Zeke pressed forward, deeper into Raguel’s domain.

Realizing Zeke’s advance, Raguel raised his hands, intending to detonate the rings and obliterate Zeke, even at the cost of his avatar.

But Zeke was quicker.

The Levatein sang with power as Zeke focused his entire being into the blade.

He saw the source of the cracks in Raguel’s avatar and unleashed his ultimate technique.

With a single, decisive strike, Zeke aimed to sever the divine essence itself.

The Triple Spell: Divine Severance.

A sword honed by sheer will to cut down a god.

Zeke’s blade, infused with his fully awakened spirit, flew straight toward the cracks in the divine avatar.

A piercing sound whistled past Raguel’s ears.

Seeing no immediate change, Raguel assumed Zeke’s attack had failed.

Relaxing his tense posture, Raguel laughed maniacally at the sight of Zeke standing defenseless within his domain.

“You foolish human! Did you really think someone like you could harm a god…?”

But then, something felt off.

Crack!

The fissures etched across the divine avatar began to widen, and fragments started to fall away.

Raguel’s ankles, elbows, and parts of his head began to crumble.

“This can’t be happening…”

Raguel had failed to realize that Zeke’s sword, driven by the will to slay a god, had indeed struck true.

As the cracks accelerated under the force of Zeke’s divine intent, not even the power of a celestial being could halt the destruction.

Rumble—

Raguel’s divine form began to collapse rapidly.

To see his avatar, which housed his celestial soul, disintegrate at the hands of a mere human was beyond belief for Raguel.

“This defies the laws of existence…!”

Zeke watched Raguel with a cold gaze and spoke.

“You speak of laws and order, yet you were the ones who rebelled, destroying the primordial light that created everything.”

Raguel, at a loss for words, could no longer utter the divine language.

The angelic body of the Libra constellation, Raguel’s avatar, was on the verge of complete destruction.

Even though the avatar was breaking apart, Raguel’s soul would return to the celestial realm. While the loss of karma would be a blow, his true self would remain unharmed. However, his pride as a celestial would be deeply wounded, and he would be unable to interfere in the mortal realm for some time.

As his avatar crumbled, Raguel’s radiant soul turned to Zeke and spoke calmly.

“I will capture you, and you will suffer a fate more cruel than any other.”

Zeke raised his hand quietly, watching Raguel’s soul curse him.

On his finger was Solomon’s Ring.

Raguel’s soul flinched in shock upon recognizing the ring Zeke held aloft.

“That ring…?”

Despite the fact that Ramiel, the celestial of the Scales, had been sealed within Solomon’s Ring, Raguel had never considered the possibility.

Zeke smirked at Raguel’s folly and invoked the power of the seal in the divine language.

“Raguel, master of the Libra constellation, let your soul be bound within this ring.”

Boom!

Raguel’s soul, emerging from the fractured avatar, was drawn into Solomon’s Ring.

“Nooo!”

Desperate to return to the celestial realm, Raguel found himself unable to escape the divine seal’s power and was absorbed into the ring.

Sizzle—

With Raguel’s soul captured, the mark of the Libra constellation appeared on Solomon’s Ring.

Following Ramiel of the Scales, Raguel of the Libra constellation became the second celestial to be sealed within the ring.

Crack—

As Raguel was sealed away, his avatar disintegrated completely.

At that moment, something caught Zeke’s eye.

“Dark matter.”

It was the very substance that had distorted causality, allowing the celestial beings to descend into the mortal realm.
