Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 488 Against Evil Gods

-----

As Celeste fell asleep, she suddenly found herself deep within a near endless abyss of pure darkness.

"Where… am I?"

This abyss of darkness seemed unfamiliar to her, but she quickly realized this was the same place where she always saw her mother's corpse burning and screaming at her.

However, this time, there wasn't any mother. There were only two… strange entities above the ceiling… One of them resembled an entity that Celeste couldn't even fathom its appearance, it looked like a bunch of asymmetric shapes merged together, made all out of glass. There was the faint shape of some sort of humanoid, but it was too bizarre to even call a human to begin with.

And the other presence resembled an enormous mass of fog, black fog. With several red eyes across its entire body, and shadow tentacles coming out of its formless fog-like body. Both entities looked down at Celeste.

"You've disappointed us once again, Celeste."

"Indeed, we have had enough."

"Eh? Who are you?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious, you foolish girl?"

"We are the Gods that have given you Divine Protections."

"Ah… T-The Evil Gods of Dungeons and Abyss?!" Celeste asked.

"You're a failure."

"Our contract shall end now."

"Wait…! You can't simply…!" Celeste tried to stop them, their power had given her amazing abilities, losing them would make her weaker than she was now.

"Don't worry, we are not going to just end our contract."

"Your soul is ours."

"Eh?"

"Gods such as us have descended into a lesser state than the others."

"But we also have gained greater powers, and we have merged further with the world instead."

"What?"

"Unlike our fellow gods above the clouds, we require greater sustenance. Souls filled with strong emotions are the tastiest, young girl… You couldn't even beat that red-haired brat and you think you'll have your life now?"

"Since we made a Contract that I've wanted to eat your delicious soul… Hahaha…"

"Don't take this personal, girl. I am simply trying to sustain myself. I shall one day bring the future you desire."

"What? What future?!" Celeste asked, stepping back as the shadow tentacles of the God of the Abyss slowly got closer to her.

"A future where this endless cycle shall finally end. For that purpose, I must slay the heroes first, the primary catalyst of this cycle. Later, I'll reform the entire world using my dungeons and my monsters. There'll be a new world, where this cycle doesn't exist anymore." He said.

"What? You're just going to kill everyone though?!"

"Oh, no, a few chosen ones shall remain and make a new world!" Laughed the Evil God of Dungeons. "The Gods above the sky… they are also my primary target."

"The souls we devour don't die, they fuse with our own beings, they become a part of us. Now come, become one with us." Said the God of the Abyss, grasping Celeste's soul tightly with his shadows.

"No… Stop! STOP!"

Celeste struggled, but she was powerless against the power of the Evil Gods.

"Join us, little failure. You'll see the world I shall bring." The Evil God of Dungeons, seemingly the mastermind behind everything, seemed to enjoy the squirming soul of Celeste.

"No…! NOOOO!"

The two gods' amorphous bodies quickly approached her, as they showed her their enormous and grotesque jaws… they could not be called gods anymore, they were more like aberrations.

"Stop right there."

However, a voice the gods recognized echoed behind Celeste, as they stopped what they were doing, looking behind Celeste and finding…

"Eh?! Sylph?!" Celeste asked in surprise.

"You?!" The Evil God of Dungeons muttered.

"What is this…? How did this damned child infiltrated the Soul Scape of another person?!" Asked the Evil God of the Abyss. "Well, no matter, more souls to feast!"

The Evil God of the Abyss celebrated a new and tasty soul joining his dinner table, as he flew towards the girl in front of him.

However, Sylph remained calm, as she pointed her hand at the aberrant god, a sudden burst of power emerged from within her entire soul, as a gigantic black hole appeared, and from within, a red-shot eye.

"Huh?!" The Evil God of Dungeons immediately noticed something was odd! Why was she so confident in winning?! And immediately after, he sensed that strange black hole… it was certainly not something that could be conjured normally through magic. "Wait, you fool! Don't get closer to her!"

"What? Are you afraid of a little mortal girl now, God of Dungeons? You've gotten cowardly lately- NGH?!"

The Evil God of the Abyss suddenly felt his shadows… being absorbed!

"What the…?!"

Not only that but he couldn't even feel the shadows that were absorbed in the other side of the blackhole, as if they were… completely consumed!

"I don't really aim at killing gods today, nor I think I can do it. But I am sure as hell I can deal a lot of damage if I want to before you take me. Give me Celeste's soul and nobody will be hurt here." Sylph immediately threatened the Gods, as the two looked at one another.

"Who do you think you are, you damn brat!"

The Evil God of the Abyss furiously attacked. As a god that had already gone mad, his mind was never in the right places, and he acted recklessly and foolishly many times.

His shadows quickly tried to attack Sylph, but her powerful black hole absorbed them all, although it weakened her as well, putting a burden into her own soul.

"[Curse of the Devourer of Darkness]!" She roared, as part of the shadows within the Evil God of the Abyss were all absorbed!

"G R Y Y Y A A A A A E E E G G H…!"

The Evil God screamed in agony like he had never done before, quickly flying back in fear! Like an animal, he finally understood once he experienced pain.

"Now… do as I say if you don't want to have a hard time eating my soul." Sylph said.
