Chapter 763: War Against Gods] 45/?: Greed's New Owner?!

-----

The previous Sin of Greed was said to have been killed by the entire Realm of Vida when armies of most of the largest nations at that time united for the sole purpose of defeating the Realm Menace holding this Sin.

​​

The battle was of catastrophic proportions, and hundreds of Heroes died in horrible ways as they tried to put everything they had to fight against such a being.

The Demon Slime Vararulu, who has been born from the depths of the Nether Lakes within the Lower Realm, and had crawled up to the surface.

Its life was filled with battle and the constant search for power, making it an inherently greedy being, where any thought it always had was about how it could earn more power, how it could take that power from others, and how much power could be earned by doing certain actions.

Such a primitive mind was everything the Sin of Greed needed to be gifted to it through a special System notification. 

The Sin of Greed, alongside all other Sins and Heavenly Commandments, was created by the System as powerful Skills that would grant their users an Epic Skill and a certain role within the Realms.

In the Realm of Vida, and other Realms, they were known as several names, but the most prominent one was Ream Menace.

Thanatos still remembers the day when his army and that of other nations protected by Gods clashed against this Realm Menace until it gave its last breath.

Although Sins would often be absorbed by the System when the Realm Menace died, Thanatos built up a plan to extract it and acquire it for himself, and after the arduous battle and the death of this Demon Slime, an enormous Divine Formation was activated, catching the soul of the Realm Menace and also the Greed itself, teleporting them to his Divine Realm.

Although he managed to do this at the back of the other Gods when the Divine Formations showed up, his intentions and plans were clear to other Gods, some that tried to stop him were defeated by his allied Demon Gods.

After the offensive that the Gods tried to do against Thanatos and his Kingdom, Thanatos was left as one of the first Gods to have acquired one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Such Skills were not meant to belong to Gods, and the Sin of Greedy naturally rejected Thanatos, only being able to be used when Thanatos coated the Sin with the soul of the Demon Slime, but even then, it was far too unstable, frustrating him for many years… until Elrinneth appeared, who he saw as the perfect vessel that he and his allies had been looking for.

Not long after her birth, she was gifted with the Sin of Greed and was slowly brainwashed and encroached by the other Demon Gods, who nurtured her powers through the Sin of Greed's strongest Skill, the Plunder Skill, the ability to steal other beings Skills permanently with a max amount of five per being.

Through this insanely cheat-like Ability, Elrinneth grew incredibly strong, reaching the peak of mortal hood at a very young age.

The Gods slowly nurtured her even more, making her soul strong so they could one day finally descend with fragments of their souls into her body, possessing it permanently and becoming a perfect being between mortals and gods, similarly to Kireina.

However, such wonderful plans quickly came to an end as Elrinneth died… thankfully, Thanatos had managed to catch her soul and sin in time, managing to seal them inside of his Soul.

But now that he had seen the friend and ally that has been with him since he was a tiny critter die so miserably by another Realm Menace who had been born from within the army of Kireina, his rage grew even larger, to the point where he could barely hold back!

He grasped the Sin of Greed, coating it with Elrinneth's soul and then forcing it to obey him with large quantities of Divine Energy!

He was completely enraged, furious, he needed to fight more fiercely, to avenge his friend and to slay his enemies, the ones that he had tried to attack first yet such attempt failed due to his miscalculations of Kireina's profoundness and paranoiac nature that made her prepare dozens of plans around several scenarios that she predicted might happen.

Against such cautiousness, Thanatos was utterly defeated!

However, he was not done yet, he would fight and reach his goal, for his friend and his dreams!

He wanted to be a Great God more than anything, to finally be more respected by the Gods of this world!

And now that he had acquired the power to eat other Gods through the Divinity Devouring Skill and Uroboros Fragment Skill he got from a mysterious black crystal given to him by a strange God with three different minds, he had all the necessary tools, he simply needed to act!

The Sin of Greed roared, resisting the power of a God such as him!

The Sin of Greed knew very well that the rules were rules, and that its creator dictated to not obey nor give its power to Gods, but even then, it was being forced to cooperate as Thanatos seeped his power and slowly ate away the will out of Greed through Uroboros Fragment and Divinity Devouring!

Alongside this, Elrinneth, or the Greedy Queen's soul was slowly fusing with the Sin of Greed, making it bigger and monstrous.

"Elrinneth, obey your God and become my power!" roared Thanatos.

"Thanatos-sama…!" cried Elrinneth with a monstrous voice, her soul was contaminated and fragmented into pieces to be later on stitched together forcefully by Thanatos, she was in constant pain and even her mind was not completely stable.

"This is your time to finally be useful!" said Thanatos, grasping Elrinneth as he seeped his power into her soul and the sin fused with her until Thanatos could finally feel the power amidst Elrinneth's cries of agonizing pain!

"NNNGGYAAAAAAAAA… T-THANATOS-SAMAAAAA…!"

Flash!

"GREED!" roared Thanatos as he was being overwhelmed by the Gods, as his entire body was engulfed in an everlasting power!

"Yes… At last! I have grasped it! The Power of the Sin of Greed!" laughed Thanatos, unleashing a powerful wave of power, hitting the combined Gods into a loud explosion of Divinity, which made their mech separate while many of them fell into pieces, heavily damaged!

"Unnggaahh…!" cried Morpheus.

"W-What is that?!" asked Merveim.

"Thanatos has grasped the Sin of Greed!" said Agatheina while gnashing her teeth, her entire mech had lost large pieces of metal and beneath the mech, there was her giant monster bat form, which was also covered in wounds.

"That's… but how?! Sins cannot be used by Gods!" said Hodhyl.

"It seems that he had used some underhanded method or something, he's such a bastard after all!" said Maeralya.

"Gahahaha! Now come at me! Or are you scared?!" asked Thanatos, his enormous presence amplified as the Gods healed their wounds thanks to their suits and Kireina's Healing Slimes with them, who used special Transcendental Skills that were all about healing wounds into the Gods, quickly healing their wounds and preparing them to fight against Thanatos once more!

  "We are not scared!" roared Agatheina, charging with the rest of the Gods, as each one combined with the other, quickly assembling a giant mech once more!

They launched hundreds of Missiles towards him, alongside blast cannons, gigantic blades of elements, and other strong projectile attacks, but all of them were blocked and even absorbed by Thanatos!

"What?! He absorbed them!?" asked Agatheina.

Flash!

Suddenly, Thanatos flew towards the combined Gods at enormous speed, as his Divine Aura shaped itself as a gigantic, black-colored spectral claw!

"Your powers are mine now! Plunder!" roared Thanatos while laughing, as the spectral claw ignored all of the Gods attacks and projectiles, seeping deeply into their combined souls and taking out a random skill from within all of them!

Flash!

Thanatos quickly grabbed the Skill and assimilated!

The result?

His entire body suddenly began to flow with electricity!

"Divine Transcendental Thunder Attribute Source… not bad at all for the first one!" he laughed, as he had stolen the Magic Skill of Nyzzet!

"Eh?! How unlucky am I?! He stole my Magic Skill, careful!" cried Nyzzet, as Thanatos merged his Divinity of Everlasting Darkness with his new Skill, generating enormous quantities of dark lightning, shaping them as gigantic spears, and throwing them towards the fused Gods!

"Hahaha! Receive my Divine Punishment!" laughed Thanatos, as the black lightning he generated fell like a rain of divine punishment against the insolent Gods that dared to stand at his side!

"Go all out!" roared Agatheina, as all the Gods roared in affirmation like a complete army, combining their powers and unleashing countless cannons and missiles while making sure to stay away from Thanatos spectral claws that would most likely try to steal a Skill from them again!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kireina glanced at this scene with concern, although she had her own concerns to take care of first, putting her trust in the Gods to make up some time for her while she strengthened herself by devouring more of the Gods around in here, she glanced at Truhan and Celica who began to fight against another group of Gods led by Oculus who was enraged by Jozrath's death.

Kireina's True Body Clone that had fused with her children into another gigantic mechanical demon flew down below, extending her claws and throwing away any attack directed at her as she grasped the body pieces and the fragmented soul pieces of Jozrath in time!

Kinesis who had emerged at her side had tried to suspiciously grab them before her!

"Give me back my friend's soul and flesh!" roared Kinesis, unleashing several blasts of Divine Psychic energy!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, Kireina had already grasped the soul fragments and flesh pieces, immediately eating them as if her life depending on it, as she and her children, especially Ryo, felt an immense rush of new power!

Flash!

Such surge of power was also shared with Kireina's main body with her wives, straightening them even more!

"I'm sorry, floating brain, but we already ate him!" said the voice of Vudia, as the gigantic metallic demon raised its two golden metallic claws, generating gigantic quantities of thunder and throwing them at Kinesis!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Kinesis roared in anger, as he decided to fall back, his plans were not about dying right now to the ridiculous power of Kireina and her combined children after all!

"Tch! This would have been an excellent opportunity to get some power by eating Jozrath!" thought Kinesis, as he flew near Primidone.

"I cannot fight her by myself, bring more forces, Primidone! Jozrath might still be alive, after all, he was only fragmented into pieces!" said Kinesis, giving hope to Primidone as she nodded.

"That's… You are right! Everyone does not chicken out! Let us take out Jozrath from that mortal's stomach!" roared Primidone, commanding her army of Demon Demigods to battle against Kireina and her children!

Although Kinesis was already sure that Jozrath was gone as Kireina and her children already got all of his power, Primidone was a Demigoddess who did not know such details about the powers of Divinity Devouring, and still believed that Jozrath's soul fragments might still slowly be digested inside of Kireina's stomach.

Kireina and her children received Primidone's army with their several arms open, charging several elemental attacks by the combination of her children's powers!

Enormous chocks of golden thunder, large poisonous purple flames, enormous, coiled snakes made of magic, giant weapons made of thousands of Divine Aura Clones, and cannons of rainbow light combining several attributes and colors, bright yellow light and darkness, gigantic boulders made of dark stone, giant armies of sharks, large floods of concentrated water, and more flashed against the Demon Gods, as each one tried to attack her with everything they had!
