## Chapter 1432 – The Ultimate
“KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Lich’s scream.
It’s an immense power. An even more intense explosion than before. I see. The Lich, whose shield was broken… he’s no longer thinking about the aftermath and has unleashed all of his power? I already had my women clinging to me, and with my shield at maximum, I was tearing through the sky to escape the blast radius.
I have to endure this.
“Katt…!”
“Th, this is…!”
“No way!!!”
The women clinging to my body also deploy their power to help me. But with this level of protection, we couldn’t completely block the explosion.
—Fwaaaat.
When the explosion subsided.
“This is.”
I.
“We’re utterly screwed.”
Realized we were fucked.
“Kuh…! That fucking hurts, you son of a bitch…!”
“H, hey, you fucker…!”
“Ugh…!”
My women, with no part of their bodies unscathed, were vomiting blood. We were now on the ground. In the middle of a completely destroyed landscape. I couldn’t even tell where we were.
“…Cloudy. Karin. Liztina.”
I looked at my women.
“Your bodies.”
The blood was chillingly cold. A cold rage swept through my mind. It was obvious they were seriously injured. Recovery was possible, but… it would be impossible to fight any further. And if fighting was impossible, I couldn’t guarantee their safety.
“Haa… haa… Katt. Don’t make such a serious face… I’m okay. It just hurts a lot.”
“Yeah… We can be called Valkyries, after all… This much damage… Haa… It hurts, but I can endure it.”
I’m going insane.
“For now, I have about 10% of my remaining power… Kuh…! But at this rate, it’ll be difficult to fight…”
“Did the Lich release all of his power…?”
“Looks like it…”
This won’t do.
I need to evacuate them.
The moment I thought that.
—Whirrrl!
Risha’s gate was created, and other women popped out from within.
“Kuh…! So you guys were safe!”
“N, not really safe, Risha-nim!”
“Darkie!! Sisters!!!”
They were just as messed up. It seemed they had used a lot of their power to evade and defend against the explosion. Following them, Kadia and Ari also came out of the gate.
“Risha brought everyone?”
“…That’s right. But right now.”
“Yeah. Looks like we got wrecked.”
Silence descended.
“Is everyone okay? I know you don’t look okay, but… I’m going crazy with worry right now? So. Risha, take everyone and retreat. Recovery is the priority. I’ll take care of the rest.”
I had nothing else to say.
“Darkie! What about Darkie!!!”
“Katt-nim!!!”
Everyone shouted fiercely, as if having a seizure. Despite being a mess, they were sending me their desire to fight alongside me. But it’s okay now. They’ve done enough. What. Didn’t they draw out the Lich’s full power? I’m incredibly grateful. And I’m furious… furious with myself for letting them get so hurt.
“I’m okay. So go and recover. I’ll finish this, so rest assured.”
It seems like this is really the final phase.
I’ll make my final stand here.
“H, how can you be okay!!”
“Father…”
“Katt… Then what about Katt…?”
“Me?”
I’m okay.
“Now that the Lich has used his full power. That means that’s the end of it. That’s all I need. I can do it all. I still have a lot of power left.”
Kim Katt the Infinite.
Even if I only have 10% of my power left.
That’s still 0.1 of infinity.
“Look. My body is a bit dusky, but. This is usually my skin tone anyway.”
My skin wasn’t as blackened as I thought it would be. Even after that explosion… Did the Lich’s power not affect me as much? Well, whatever. Good is good, isn’t it?
“So. Retreat now. Come back and join me when your bodies are recovered. My women’s bodies are precious, after all. You have to bear me 100 children each from now on… It’ll be a problem if you get hurt. Hehehe.”
You have to cherish the body that will bear children.
I said that while smiling, intending it as a joke.
“…”
“…”
“…”
But no one laughed. Even Winia didn’t shout about how there were too many hundreds. They were just looking at me with faces that looked like they were about to cry.
I resolve myself!!!
“Kadia!!! Take everyone and heal them!!!”
“…Understood. With all of my Holy Maiden’s power. I shall heal them.”
“Thank you!!! Then Risha!!!”
“…I understand.”
Risha nodded heavily.
Risha and Kadia are the most trustworthy in this situation!
“Katt…!”
“Sniff… Darkie!!!”
“It’s okay. Go inside. Hilde. Ari. You have to listen to me, okay?”
They can’t fight anymore.
I have to send them away.
“Katt-nim!!! You absolutely have to win!!!”
“I believe Father will win… Because he has to.”
“You…”
Hurry!!!
“No, it’s not like I’m going to die!!! I won’t die leaving my women behind!!! I’m telling you to recover and come back!!! I’ll be holding on!!! So, go in!! Risha! Take them all by force! Kadia, heal them as quickly as possible!!!”
“…!”
Risha gritted her teeth and summoned a gate.
That was the end of it.
They retreated to a place so far away that I couldn’t feel them.
“That’s good.”
Now I can fight the final battle with peace of mind.
“…”
The Lich, who had caused the massive explosion.
Was existing in an even more sinister, ominous, and powerful form than before. A misshapen skeleton. A twisted form. It was like looking at the skeletal structure of a being that combined a demon, a ghoul, and a human. It had grown even larger, and dark power was overflowing from its body.
“Hey Lich. Is that your true form?”
I finally succeeded in drawing out all of the Lich’s power.
The current Lich has no way out.
He’s in a state where he’s unleashed all the power he should have used to kill me and subdue this world, the Outer Gods, and the beings from other dimensions.
The only thing a guy who’s become like that can do is to obliterate me with all his might. But. If he’s consuming that much power explosively.
A chance to kill him will eventually come.
If I induce him to consume power like that, a chance to kill him will eventually come.
“How dare you…! How dare you!!! How dare you!!!!!!!!!!!”
A mental wave filled with anger. The current Lich was furious and enraged. Of course he would be. All the plans he had set up were shattered. He had no choice but to be pissed off.
—Fwaaaaat!!!
And the Lich’s magic flew towards me.
A transcendently enhanced ray of darkness.
The Lich’s basic attack.
But if I were to get hit, I’d go poof.
Kim Katt Bomba.
“Woah.”
I immediately kicked off the ground and evaded. I couldn’t help but be amazed. I had been especially careful to evade it perfectly, but—Sizzle. My body, which had been half intact even during the explosion just now, was turning black.
Even.
—Fwaaaaat!!!
—Fwaaaaat!!!
—Fwaaaaat!!!
It wasn’t just a straight attack.
“Ooh.”
Magical circles, twisted at various angles, were scattered throughout the entire space. It was as if the Lich was frantically swinging a box full of BB pellets in the air, scattering the pellets everywhere, filling the sky with thousands upon thousands of magical circles.
From those magical circles.
“—KWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
A massive amount of magic was fired all at once.
“Demonic Heavenly Evasion Maneuver.”
In an extremely narrow space.
I performed extreme acrobatics to avoid direct hits, threading through the spaces between the rays. It felt like I was playing an ultra-hardcore bullet hell shooting game. Everything around me was just light. All I could do was use my godly senses to find small gaps and evade.
—Whirrrl.
My body was being consumed by a dark aura.
The current Lich was even more powerful than before.
But that meant he was consuming power even faster.
—Squish!!!
“Owaaaaaack…!”
Evasion failed, a ray pierced through my shoulder. A black, dead arm. My arm dangled. I focused on healing while concentrating on flying. The important thing wasn’t the arm that had already been hit. It was evading the next attack.
Right then.
“This power…! This power is not a power that should have been used to fight a monster like you!!! It was a power that should have been used to protect this world from the Outer Gods and the monsters from other dimensions coiled in that heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Lich’s scream echoed.
No.
Hey.
This is just because you’re an incompetent loser.
“Heheheh… Don’t make excuses.”
I let the words slip out while evading.
I felt like I was going to burst out laughing.
“Wasn’t it you who summoned the Outer Gods? And you have the nerve to say that. You’re just… doing something even more fucked up to fix what you’ve fucked up. Haven’t you realized that yet? You old baby skeleton whose bones have turned to dust.”
“Shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Along with the exploding rage.
“—KWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
Another explosion occurred.
There was no room to dodge… I sensed that I was screwed. I coated my body with a Demonic Heavenly Barrier like I did before and just flew towards the other side of the sky. But I could clearly hear his mental wave. It was proof that I was within his domain.
“Hehehe, shut up? Everything I said is true. All of this was caused by your tyranny. You’re the one who summoned the Outer Gods. And you’re the one who caused the humans to be annihilated because of it!!!”
I couldn’t stop taunting him.
“It’s all your tyranny, you crazy Lich bastard!!!!!!!”
—Gah!!!!!!!!!!!
The moment I rebuked him like that!!!
“I can’t deny it.”
Suddenly, something seemed calmer.
His mental wave flowed in.
“No. You’re right.”
What?
He’s admitting it now?
“That’s right. It was I, High Priest Angrahel, who cast the ancient great magic and brought the Outer Gods to this world.”
“…?”
“A long time ago. I was the High Priest of a religion that worshipped the Titans, and my job was to educate the enslaved humans to the Titans’ liking. That was why the Titans chose me. The Titans wanted the humans to worship them.”
“Wh, what?”
This bastard…?
He was even more trash than I imagined?
“But I hated the Titans. I was furious at the deaths of countless fellow humans who were crushed like insects by the Titans’ hands. Do you know the power of the omnipotent Titans? There was no way to resist.”
The Lich, who had carried out this shocking confession.
“The humans of that era were less than insects. Tens of thousands of humans died for just one minute of amusement. The race that was consumed solely for the pleasure of the Titans was the human race.”
He continued his mental wave as if he were seeing the past. As if he was driven mad. What I felt from his calm tone was a deep madness.
I, having recovered my body a little, was still dodging the barrages and rays that the Lich was firing.
“I just focused on pro-Titan education to save even a few more of my fellow humans. Those who rebelled were sentenced to decades of pain, unable to die or live. I… I didn’t want to see that.”
Those Titan bastards!!!!!!!
But you’re a bastard too!!!!!
“However. There were also many human resisters in that world. Dreamers who dreamed of liberation. Warriors. And leaders and… good humans.”
Resistance, huh.
“They contacted me… and I… became a comrade with them… and… together with them… over several decades… to overthrow the Titans…”
Noise was mixed in his voice.
His delusion was getting worse.
“Ancient great magic. We succeeded in obtaining a secret forbidden book that had been passed down from the era before the Titan era. Decades ago, we resolved as souls to liberate the humans. That was. That was the moment it was finally achieved. Humans would no longer die like insects. If we could just defeat the Titans. Our humans would be able to live a hopeful life, just like the Titans had.”
The tension in his voice rose. The voice of a person experiencing something enjoyable.
“……………………………………..”
And a long silence arrived.
Mixed with serious noise.
“…”
Was he experiencing confusion?
“The power of the Outer Gods who had descended directly into the real world, not the Heavenly Space, was immense. Beings that couldn’t even be compared to the demonic beasts from other dimensions. The empire of the Titans, which had continued since the distant ancient era, collapsed in an instant. The Outer Gods cursed the souls of the Titans…”
The intonation of his voice was erratic. It rose and then fell. It became joyful and then terrified. Madness. Only madness was felt. I concentrated on dodging the rays of darkness and listened to the mental wave echoing in my head.
“But… it didn’t take long to realize that… only the owner had changed…!”
That’s tr… ue?
“From that moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Instantly.
“Souls!!!!!!!!!!! The souls of humans!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Lich.
“…?”
Began to scream extremely.
“After that!!!!! After we summoned the Outer Gods…! How many human souls have entered the mouths of those monsters!!!!!!! From that time until now, since the Titans were destroyed!!! All the souls of humans!!! Starting then, all the souls of humans became food for the Outer Gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Tens of millions!!!!! No, hundreds of millions!!!!! Billions!!!!!”
“Humanity exceeding billions!!!!!!! Billions of souls over thousands of years!!!!!!!!!!!! As many human souls as the stars in the sky!!! Souls!!!!! To the Outer Gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“This fucking crazy bastard…!”
This fucking crazy bastard!!!
You crazy psychooooooo!!!!
“No more!!!! No more!!!! No more is allowed!!!!!!!!!!! If I collapse here!!!!!!!! For eternity!!! In the future!!!! Even thousands, tens of thousands of years later!!!! The souls of humans!!!!!!!! Will only be food!!!!!!! No more!!! No more is allowed!!!! Ah! Resisters!!! Revolutionaries!!! Brothers!!! I, High Priest Angrahel!!!!!!!! Can no longer!!! No longer bear it!!!!!!!!!! I have to stop it!!! I have to stop it!!!!!!!! I have to take responsibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The following words were rambling.
It was just a mad, chaotic howl.
Yeah.
That’s what drove the Lich crazy.
The completely insane Lich had been obsessed with that and had been fighting for thousands of years.
Truly a fucking moron.
“But you…! Now!!! You’ve ruined everything!!!!!! The resentment and grudge of billions of humans!!! Everything!!! You’ve destroyed it all now!!!!”
But seeing the enemy going crazy.
“Hehehe, destroy? No way, I’m going to crush the Outer Gods along with you. Without killing off the existing humans like you did. I’m just going to protect the world. That’s what this Demonic Heavenly Kim Katt is all about.”
Is always enjoyable.
I declared.
“It’s not a crazy monster like you who’s fit to be the guardian of this world… It’s the one who’s right, just, and good. Absolute good. It’s this Demonic Heavenly Kim Katt.”
That the Lich was a moron.
“So. Die here. Lich.”
Was all I had to say.
“—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Lich’s mental wave, filled with anger, burst out.
“Come. This is the final battle.”
