Chapter 3 - Destruction

CITIZENS, PLEASE EVACUATE TO THE SAFETY SHELTER!

THIS IS A DIRECT ORDER FROM THE DRAGON GOD HIMSELF!

THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION HAS FINALLY APPEARED—FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!

"Wait, whattt?!" a random civilian screamed at the sudden, blaring announcement.

That single warning was all it took to send cities into chaos.

Panic spread like wildfire.

--------------

While nations descended into confusion, far away in a dense forest, a group of powerful beings gathered. They were not human—each had features that marked them as something greater. Horns, wings, tails… all signs of the divine or monstrous.

"Where are the Dragon God, the Elemental Goddess, and the Vampire Goddess? Without them, how are we supposed to face the God of Destruction?" one of them said anxiously, sparking worry among the others.

But their concern was short-lived.

In a sudden burst of roaring wind, three figures appeared before them—none other than the Dragon God and the two goddesses.

"Finally, you're here—Dragon God, Vampire Goddess, and Elemental Goddess," a man stepped out from the crowd. He stood nearly as tall as the Dragon God, his silver horns gleaming under the dim forest light. With long white hair and piercing purple eyes, his face bore the wisdom of someone in their 40s.

The three newcomers nodded in acknowledgment. Then, without pause, the Elemental Goddess—Third Sister—stepped forward.

"Silver Dragon," she said, her voice firm and emotionless, "are all gods and goddesses present?"

There was no greeting, no warmth—just business. The Silver Dragon caught slightly off guard, nodded respectfully, knowing better than to be offended.

"Yes, Goddess," he replied evenly. "All 973 gods and goddesses are here. We are fully prepared and await your orders."

"Good," she said sharply. "Then get ready. You all know your task—surround him, distract him. The three of us will handle the rest."

Her eyes burned with rage, the same fury mirrored in the eyes of the Vampire Goddess and the Dragon God beside her.

"Yes, Goddess!" the gathered gods shouted in unison.

In an instant, the forest erupted in power. Many grew wings and shot into the sky, while others simply rose to the sky, leaving no trace of their departure.

"There!" the Dragon God said, pointing to a distant mountain cliff.

At the direction of his finger, every divine being turned and shot off toward the location. The three gods followed behind them, determination in every step.

------------

"Finally," a cloaked figure muttered from the mountain cliff, standing as he sensed the overwhelming presence approaching. "I was beginning to die of boredom waiting."

The moment he stood, the air cracked with tension. Gods and goddesses surrounded him from all sides—some airborne, others on the ground. All eyes locked onto him.

Behind him, three figures landed. The Dragon God. The Vampire Goddess. The Elemental Goddess. Their eyes radiated with hatred and pain.

"Are you three trying to kill me with your stares?" the cloaked man asked without even turning around.

"Hah! If only it were that easy, we would've ended you long ago," the Fourth Sister—Vampire Goddess—snapped, her voice dripping with disgust.

"Tell me something I don't already know, dear Third Sister," the man replied calmly as he turned around, his crimson eyes glowing beneath the hood of his cloak.

"You—" the Elemental Goddess began, but before she could say more, the Dragon God raised a hand, stopping her in her tracks.

"Tell me… First Brother," he said, voice hoarse and barely able to contain the fury brewing inside him.

"Huh?" the God of Destruction tilted his head, genuinely confused. "What?"

That response was the final crack in the Dragon God's restraint. His voice roared with rage as he stepped forward, eyes glowing gold.

"TELL ME WHY! WHY DID YOU KILL OUR FATHER—THE HEAVENS HIMSELF?! He blessed us, gave us life, raised us, and entrusted each of us with part of his divine strength! We were his children! All four of us!"

His voice cracked with emotion, tears threatening to fall, but he continued.

"Why would you betray him?! Did you hate him that much?! And what about Hell?! What if she moves?! What then?! We'll all die horrible, meaningless deaths!"

Silence followed his words. The gathered gods stood frozen, waiting for the response.

The cloaked man didn't speak for a few moments. Then he finally looked up, his voice calm.

"There's no need to worry about Hell. Before his death, Father sealed it off. Nothing from there can reach this world anymore."

"And as for why I did it... whether I hated him… or any of you..." He paused. Then spread his arms wide slowly and spoke,

"I hated no one—not you, not the heaven."

His words shocked the crowd. Whispers rippled through the divine army.

"Then why?" Third Sister demanded, her voice trembling, her heart racing.

"You really don't get it, do you?" the God of Destruction asked, shaking his head slowly. "Isn't it obvious?"

They waited. He smiled beneath his hood.

"If you must know… the answer is simple."

His smile grew wider, his presence darker.

"I just wanted destruction."
