LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 128: Ch-126 the goddess assend
The wasteland lay in ruin, once part of the legendary Shadow Forest, now a broken expanse of cracked earth and scorched ground. The air was thick with the remnants of battle, the aftershocks of the fierce clash still vibrating in the atmosphere. Marin, Sia, and Cial stood on the battlefield, breathless and bloodied, yet standing tall in defiance. They had given it their all, each push against Raghav testing their limits. Yet, despite their fierce assault, the results had been inevitable.
Marin wiped the sweat from her brow, her smile faint but genuine. "Not enough to beat you."
Cial, her bow trembling in hand, let out a weary sigh. "We gave everything we had, but it's clear... we can't match you."
Sia, still breathing heavily, met Raghav's gaze. "You're far beyond us."
Raghav stood at the center of the chaos, untouched by the destruction surrounding him. His Byaku-Rinnegan, an ever-glowing mark of power on his forehead, pulsed softly in the silence. Around him floated the three elemental swords—each imbued with the raw forces of fire, water, and wind—crackling and ready to strike at a moment's notice.
"You've all fought valiantly," Raghav said, his voice calm, the words carrying an edge of finality. "But this battle is beyond you."
Before anyone could respond, the ground beneath them trembled. The air itself seemed to split open as blinding light and suffocating darkness descended from the heavens. Raghav felt the divine aura long before he saw them.
Aeloria, the Goddess of Light and Creation, descended first, her presence radiating a brilliance that threatened to blind the very sky. Her figure was that of a radiant mother, a beacon of power and wisdom.
Following her, Nytheris, the Goddess of Shadow and Destruction, appeared, her dark form cloaked in a swirling abyss. Her presence was a stark contrast—chilling, oppressive, and unsettling. She stood as a mistress of chaos, a being who wielded death and decay as naturally as breathing.
Alongside them, their daughters followed. Nyxara, the Goddess of Celestial Sword Aura, and Solara, the Goddess of Eternal Mana Core, floated gracefully. Their divine auras resonated with ancient power, as though they held the very fabric of the universe in their hands.
Aeloria's voice, soft yet commanding, cut through the tension. "Raghav Ye King, your power exceeds our expectations. But no one, not even you, is beyond judgment. This ends now."
Nytheris's voice, like a cold whisper in the wind, followed. "Your existence disrupts the balance. We cannot allow such unchecked power to continue."
The three girls flinched at the goddesses' overwhelming presence, stepping back instinctively. Even they, with their formidable strength, could feel the weight of the goddesses' power. But Raghav remained unfazed. His eyes, cold and unwavering, turned toward them.
"Retreat," he said, his tone brokering no argument. "This is my battle now."
Without hesitation, the three women vanished into thin air, transported to the safety of Raghav's inner world, where time and space were at his command. The wasteland was now quiet, save for the deafening weight of the divine confrontation that was about to unfold.
The four goddesses stood before him, unrelenting and confident in their judgment. Aeloria raised her blade of light, her divine energy lighting up the entire battlefield. Nytheris summoned the shadows, tendrils of dark power coiling around her. Nyxara's celestial sword shimmered with cosmic power, while Solara's staff hummed with the infinite energy of the Eternal Mana Core.
"We will see if your power is truly infinite," Aeloria declared, her voice like a gong, ringing with divine authority.
Nytheris smirked darkly. "You will regret defying us."
Raghav's expression remained stoic, his mind calculating the incoming storm. His power surged as he activated his Dragon Heart and Super Brain, tapping into his full potential. The three elemental swords spun around him, their energy blending together as he summoned the bloodlines of the Void Vampire, Star Medusa, and the Golden Shadow. These ancient powers now swirled within him, and the very air seemed to bend under their weight.
"You misunderstand," Raghav said coldly, his voice cutting through the divine tension. "This fight will end before it truly begins."
He raised his hand, and the Byaku-Rinnegan on his forehead flared with an intense light. The symbols of Nexus Level 5: Eternal Unity shimmered across his body, and with a single thought, he activated his Planetary Attack. The very ground beneath them cracked, and the sky seemed to distort as cosmic energy bent to his will. The attack was vast, an assault on the fabric of space and time itself.
The goddesses responded immediately. Aeloria's light shielded them, while Nytheris cloaked them in shadow. Nyxara's celestial aura flared in defense, and Solara's Mana Core pulsed to protect her. Yet, despite their divine power, they could not avoid the overwhelming force of Raghav's attack.
As the explosion of energy raged around them, Raghav spoke again. "This fight is not for mortals or gods to decide. I am the end and the beginning."
From Raghav's side, a figure appeared—Astraea, the Supreme Maid, summoned by Raghav's will. Her presence was calm and dignified, yet her power was palpable. With a single gesture, she raised an impenetrable shield of energy around the battlefield, ensuring that no one would die in this clash.
The goddesses, their faces betraying a flicker of surprise, tightened their stances. Raghav was not a mere mortal, and his power was something even they could not fully comprehend. His presence was beyond their judgment, his strength far surpassing what they had anticipated.
