Surrounded by a dazzling flash of lightning, my human organs completely disappear.
Furthermore, my entire body is reconstructed into a perfect form of magical energy, eliminating the concept of a finite amount of magic, as mana now flows continuously in and out of me.
My hair and eyes revert to their usual black, while my magic gathers and transforms into a single weapon.
“W-What… What is that form…?”
The lowlife’s eyes widen in shock as he gazes upon our unified form.
However, it’s no surprise—this is the spirit assimilation of Zeus, a form that never made it into the game.
—Spirit Assimilation.
The ultimate technique of a divine spirit contractor, only possible when the bond between the contractor and the spirit is strong and their abilities are almost equal.
It is the only way for a contractor to temporarily wield the full power of a divine spirit in the mortal world, allowing the contractor to use that power unconditionally during spirit assimilation.
In my case, it’s “Spirit Assimilation: Thunder God,” granting me control over all the weather of this world.
“—Well then, shall we begin the final round?”
I transform the legendary divine weapon, Raitei Keraunos, known as the strongest symbol of the thunder god Zeus, into a spear.
The once ordinary spear instantly transforms into a pale bolt of lightning, and my body, as if in harmony, also turns into lightning, my hair and eyes bleaching to white in an instant.
Around me, bolts of thunder, each nearing the power of a divine lightning strike, crackle and scatter. Amidst this storm, I hurl Raitei Keraunos at the Void Lord like a javelin.
In that moment—Raitei Keraunos absorbs all the lightning in the world, surpassing even the speed of light, and pierces the Void Lord’s body before he has time to evade or defend. The impact shatters the unique spirit realm, forcibly returning us to the original world.
“—!?!?”
Before the Void Lord can even process what happened, his body is almost entirely obliterated in an instant, leaving him unable to do more than let out a voiceless scream as he collapses to the ground.
No matter how fast he can regenerate, it’ll take him a considerable amount of time this time.
“V-Void Lord!?”
“—Do you even have the luxury to worry about him?”
I transform the Raitei Keraunos back into a staff, raise it towards the sky, and summon the world’s storm clouds.
Lightning strikes the area, rain begins to fall, and a massive cumulonimbus cloud forms, cutting me and the lowlife off from the outside world.
Here, magical power is in disarray—it’s safe to say that not even simple spells like body enhancement can be used, let alone teleportation.
“So, what will you do? You can’t do anything anymore. Even if the Void Lord revives, he’ll only be fodder for my attacks again.”
“Hah! I may have feared the spirit assimilation, but now that we’ve returned to this world, I’m the strongest!”
At that moment, the lowlife brandishes the Forbidden Record Akashic Record.
“—Magic-Proof Domain!!”
But in the next instant, nothing happens—the Forbidden Record Akashic Record shows no reaction at all. The lowlife starts to panic.
“W-What… What is going on…!? Why isn’t the Magic-Proof Domain activating!?”
“It’s simple. This place is under the domain of a god. Do you really think something made by a god could break free from that god’s control? Besides, the Akashic Record is far beyond what a mere human should possess. I’ll be taking it back.”
“W-Wait! Stop!! Wait!! Come back!!!”
As I extend my hand toward the lowlife, the Akashic Record moves on its own, leaving his grasp and settling into my hand—but just then, the supposedly regenerating Void Lord suddenly interrupts and seizes it.
“What!?”
“W-Well done, Void Lord! Bring it back to me!”
The lowlife praises the Void Lord, thrilled by this unexpected turn of events, but in the next moment, I am again stunned.
“—Kikiki… This belongs to me. It’s not something to be given to a worthless fool like you. Besides—you’re no longer needed.”
“W-What—Gah!”
The Void Lord, of all things, pierces his own contractor’s chest, crushing his heart. The lowlife coughs up blood, gasping in agony, before his eyes lose their light and he stops moving.
—Yes, he’s dead.
“What… is this…?”
I am utterly perplexed by the Void Lord’s actions in killing his own contractor. Even for an evil god, killing your contractor should incur some sort of penalty—could it be…!?
“Dammit—Raitei Keraunos!”
I immediately transform Raitei Keraunos back into a spear and throw it.
Surpassing the speed of light, the divine power that shatters logic hurtles toward the Void Lord to obliterate him.
But even so, he does not lose his smile.
And as Raitei Keraunos pierces the Void Lord, he infects the Akashic Record at the same time.
In that instant—the Void Lord, a being who should not exist in this world, is reborn as a new god.
