Gabriel could feel that his sword was trembling in pain. It has killed a True God and was suffering the side effects. Fortunately, this was his domain.
Gabriel could easily sever the cause and effect in his domain since this world was now not under the control of the universe. It was his own world! A world where he was a god!
He bit his finger lightly, placing a drop on his Sword.
Only when his own blood fell on the sword did the Sword stop trembling and calmed down.
"Looks like I've found a new name for you. I wonder if you'll like it," he smiled, glancing at the sword in his hand. "...Godslayer."
The sword had a consciousness of its own. As soon as it heard the name, it buzzed lightly as if it was happy with the name it was granted.
"Glad you liked it. Though today is a first for many things for me." Gabriel dropped on his knees, feeling extremely tired.
Even he didn't realize how he had managed to do all this. He fought so many people, and then cast a world level spell to turn this World into his domain and then even fought a true god!
It was only thanks to his strong will that he kept going, even when he had no strength left.

Even if he had full control of his Element, the chances of success were still only seventy percent, let alone at present where the chances were only thirty percent.
Still, he somehow succeeded, there to all sacrifices he had offered in this war! Millions had died! Their souls became the necessary fuel for his success!
Gabriel reached out his hand, placing it on the man's chest. He had many souls in his Grimoire, but he didn't have a single soul of a true god! He wondered just what kind of changes he could experience if he absorbed a true god's soul.
As soon as he placed his hand on the silver haired man's chest, multiple small specks of light came out of the man's body that flew straight into the Grimoire that had flown closer.
All those specks of light that represented the soul of the silver haired man were absorbed by the Forbidden Grimoire.
After absorbing the soul, Gabriel felt like storing the body in his Grimoire as well. He had never made an undead from the body of a true god. However, in his Domain, he felt that he had a chance to succeed.
He wanted to try it as soon as he recovered.
However, just as he was about to send the body in his Grimoire, he frowned, looking into the distance. He had a strange feeling. It was as if someone was looking at him from some faraway place.
This feeling was really bizarre and strange. However, it was hard to find the onlooker easily.
Fortunately, in his Domain, nothing was hidden from him. He calmly located the source of the disturbance and looked straight in that direction.
He didn't know who was looking at him, but the energy felt different from the Upper Realm or the Nether Realm. However, he still didn't allow anyone to spy on him.
He raised his right hand, crushing his fist, sealing the entire space around him, cutting the connection of this place with whatever treasure was used to spy on him.
He didn't know if he could destroy that treasure this way, but his first priority was to deal with all the spies!
It was only after dealing with the strange feeling of being spied on that he kept the body in his Grimoire before finally falling on the ground in the middle of the forest, looking at the clouded sky.
His breathing was heavy and his face was slightly pale. However, after a long time, he felt this serene atmosphere. It was as if this place was finally safe. All the threats were dealt with... for now.
Gabriel remained still for two hours, only resting on the fallen leaves. His entire body was aching. It had been a long time since he felt such exhaustion ever since he first received his element. In fact, even in the last great war, he didn't feel this exhausted.
It was as if even moving a single finger was difficult for the time being.
Gabriel only rested in the forest, feeling the gentle breeze brushing against him.
"It is like you killed him."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter some time, Gabriel heard a voice. He didn't even need to look around to know who it was.
"I suppose you dealt with the rest?" he asked.
Raphael came closer, nodding.
He reached out his hand to help Gabriel up. "Don't tell me you want to stay there all day long."
"Let me stay like that." Gabriel smiled lightly. It had been a long time since he felt so light amidst the constant troubles. He wanted to just stay here and let this feeling sink in, while also recovering his strength.
His Godslayer was also lying right next to him. Raphael could feel the strength emitting from the sword. For some reason, the aura of the sword felt even stronger than when it was made by Gabriel! It was as if through this battle, it had become stronger.
"I suppose you're curious about my real identity or why so many people wanted to kill me?" Gabriel inquired, already expecting what was in Raphael's mind. He hadn't told him anything about his real self.
Despite that, when Raphael was asked, he joined the battle without a single question about why there was such a battle in the first place. That had somewhat impressed Gabriel.
Even though Raphael didn't respond, Gabriel started telling him about his past. He only mentioned things briefly, and even hid some details about his personal life that he didn't want others to know.
He only told Raphael why there were so many people who wanted to kill him, and about his rebirth.
All this new information was hard to believe for Raphael but he knew that it was the only explanation that made sense. For him to become so strong in such a short time wouldn't have been possible otherwise.
"Do you have anything else you want to know?" Gabriel asked.
Raphael went silent for a moment. However, after a few moments, he finally spoke. "The Reaper of the Undead Realm... Did he work for you?"
Some unexplainable emotions flickered through Raphael's eyes, mixed with some anger as he asked.
