"Challenger... Knight... Betrayal! Is that you! Knight King! Your challenge has failed! Your holy sword is already tarnished! And my power has extended! Your kingdom will collapse under my followers! The Knights will be utterly devoured by me! Annihilation has arrived! Every single one, none will escape!"
The giant eyes rapidly fluctuated. It seemed Goki had hit upon a keyword, and the Star God instantly recovered from that listless state.
In its place were mad roars and furious bellows. That anger was even comparable to the God of Burning Wind in a rage.
In the surrounding illusion, stars either expanded or collapsed, eventually transforming into dazzling supernovas. The blazing light made it impossible to open one's eyes, as if in an instant, the entire Universe seemed to boil.
This scene was unsettlingly lively.
"Knight King? What Knight King? Is Artoria here too? Which class of Artoria are you talking about?"
Hearing the Star God's roar, Goki raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding—Terra had no Knight King who could eat a whole pot of rice in one sitting. In the streets of Victoria now, there was only a small lioness disguised as a gang leader, wielding the Hammer of Promised Victory.
Goki knew that the nation called Kazimierz was a knight nation founded by knights, but it was currently a parliamentary system with a separation of powers and mutual checks and balances, with no monarch to speak of.
"I'll go ask Kaltsit about it. But... I'm no Knight King. It seems this person makes you very angry. Don't worry, I'll make you even angrier, because I'm about to dig up your grave."
Watching the deity, completely consumed by madness and growing more chaotic in its struggles, Goki confirmed that its mind was broken.
With a soft snap of his fingers, a disc of moonlight instantly rose behind Goki, its pale glow illuminating the Universe.
Although the Moon was a planet, at this moment, she shone with a light even more blazing than a supernova.
And a burst of flames surged from Goki's body. The "Fire" rune of the God of Burning Wind reappeared on the back of his hand.
—Boom!
—"Just wait, you're the next prey!"
Following Goki's last threat, the entire "Universe" was utterly destroyed in an explosion.
And Goki opened his eyes, grabbing fiercely with both hands—
Pfft—
Half his body plunged into the skull cavity of the entire fifty-meter-tall "Celestial Envoy." Goki violently pulled himself out, also snatching out a small, big-headed doll.
He was the "core" Goki had been searching for, responsible for linking the Celestial Envoy and the Star God's main body thousands of miles away.
Bang!
A loud gunshot. Goki pulled out his short-barreled gun and, at point-blank range, fired a bullet pre-loaded with marrow ash into its head.
Pfft-pop—
Accompanied by a somewhat unpleasant popping sound, the big-headed doll easily exploded into a puddle of mud under the impact of the scattered shrapnel.
And Goki could clearly feel a connection being severed with the distant East.
At the same time, he seemed to... hear another sentence.
"Moon, Ocean, I will start by... killing your followers!"
The next second, Goki noticed that the Celestial Envoy beneath his feet had stopped moving, allowing the giant crystal beast, the powerful Orca wielding a mechanical sword, and the Director, Saria, and Muelsyse / Muir Sais to continuously attack it, abandoning its external Spell defenses.
Goki narrowed his eyes. His arcane abilities allowed him to clearly see that the Celestial Envoy had lost its vitality; only the Originium energy throughout its body was continuously gathering towards its head.
Countless tentacles extended from the Celestial Envoy's head, and the blue aura around its body became increasingly pronounced.
"Damn it, Skadi, everyone! Get out of here quickly! He seems to be about to explode!"
"Goki, His energy index is rising, and the internal Originium reaction is intensifying!"
Goki and Kaltsit, who was analyzing data on her terminal, shouted in unison.
Kaltsit's face, however, was exceptionally grim. Clearly, this wasn't the first time she had witnessed such an event.
"This divine construct is causing the Originium energy within its body to enter a positive feedback loop. This is a mass Originium contamination event—Goki, we must stop Him!"
You deities... why do you all love to self-destruct so much!
