Opening the DoorIt seemed that the battle at Bardi was nearing its end as the Chaos Gods died.
The core of the battlefield was still a certain God enveloped in endless Holy Light. However, he now seemed far more disheveled than earlier.
His previously blinding Holy Light was rather dim now. Karolan had used a great deal of divine power in order to defend against the Chaos Gods’ self-destructions.
The God of Holy Light’s Main God-level incarnations kept dying off, causing Karolan to lose thousands and thousands of years of accumulated divine power and power of belief. Finally, his face concealed by Holy Light was revealed for all to see.
Karolan had blonde hair, blue eyes, a handsome visage, and even a milky-smooth facial skin, yet he was cold and expressionless, with not even a single trace of emotion. Maybe some women would really like his appearance, but his face no longer remaining concealed by Holy Light was evidence of his weakness.
“…Finally, the God of Holy Light is no longer undefeatable.”
As the old phrase went, the enemy of an enemy would be a friend. It was quite easy to obtain friendship when there was a mutual enemy, but once the mutual enemy disappeared, it would be quite easy for the friends to then turn on each other.
The Nature Faction and other such neutral God Factions would all want more power for themselves and to become the ruling God Faction of the gigantic mortal plane. Not to mention, there were plenty of powerful ancient existences from the Chaos Abyss who were waiting for an opportMy power level was very similar to Karwenz’s before he took over his descendent Reyne and I used God’s Descent on Glina, but when it came to single combat, Glina was more than powerful enough to defeat 10 Reynes simultaneously.
If the “pilots” had very similar skill levels, then the “mecha’s” stats would become the most critical part to determine victory. Maybe Reyne appeared to be a far more outstanding warrior than Glina, but Glina had fought hard for everything ever since young, and had long since reached the peak of the world.
Even worse for Reyne was that she was someone who used the power of Chaos. She was borrowing her strength from another, and the person she was borrowing power from, her ancestor Karwenz, had died. This would obviously cause a significant decrease in her power level.
This was just like how a True God’s priest would become completely useless after that God died.
Additionally, Reyne was definitely fighting back against Karwenz’s will that had taken over her body, while Glina was completely cooperating with me. All of these advantages accrued to give me a tremendous advantage in power level over Karwenz.
“You have no chance of victory. Voluntarily leave Reyne’s body and I’ll only seal you away for 500 years. Otherwise…”
This was no empty threat. There was an obvious power level difference between the two hosts we were in. Karwenz realized himself that he couldn’t possibly win when he felt how weak his host body was. He now regretted that he hadn’t been stricter with Reyne on cultivating more instead of letting her rest all she wanted. She had been relying far too much on only the power of Chaos.magic
“…Is this the end?”
Karwenz was hesitating since he felt that it was a pity, but what he felt the most was displeasure that his game had ended earlier than he expected.
Mentioning a third door earlier was only a lie in order to try and shake Roland. At this point, it seemed that everything could only end like this. Perhaps it would be better to admit defeat in order to save face. If the end result was already predetermined, it wouldn’t look very good to get beaten up before being sealed.

But at this moment, the entire world shook as something seemed to secretly changed. It felt as if a certain door had just been opened.
The two brothers/sisters exchanged glances in the small captain’s room of the Borealis. Both of them paused in surprise as this was completely unexpected for both. What exactly had happened just now?
“The door was opened?”
“The door was opened.”
Roland and Karwenz then simultaneously realized who must have opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
“I should have hardened my heart and killed her, even if she was Harloys’ father before… Didina!!!”
“Ha, don’t cry over spilled milk. You couldn’t have possibly done such a thing. You wouldn’t even have been able to activate that ‘Law Sword’ thing of yours without a neutral witness, right? You wouldn’t have possibly defeated me without that little sword of yours.”
Indeed, the only possible explanation was that Didina had opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
At this moment, Didina, the former Gold Elf Emperor, as well as a Chaos Girl, and the only survivor in the lowest level of the Chaos Abyss, had just opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
