Chapter 444: Two Early-Stage Main Gods Attack the God-King Star Sector?
....
Under the Shiny Ralts' sleek bowl cut, its dark eyes had actually turned into glowing pink hearts!
In the world of anime trope lore, eyes turning into pink hearts meant only one of two things: total degenerate obsession, or a straight-up yandere!
Seito felt pretty confident this Shiny Ralts fell into the latter category.
"What a bizarre trait combination..."
Seito muttered in mild surprise, but he quickly stood up and led his newly caught Shiny Ralts away.
Kanto Region, Pallet Town.
Inside Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Seito's figure materialized inside the room once again.
Scanning his surroundings, he saw everyone gathered around the table, slurping down instant cup noodles.
"Why are you guys eating cup noodles?" Seito made a rather strange face.
Good grief! So Professor Oak really does live on instant noodles, to the point of serving them to first-time guests? Talk about unexpected.
"Aha, instant noodles taste great! Convenience is key when doing research," Professor Oak laughed sheepishly, scratching the back of his head in mild embarrassment.
"It's super delicious! Seito-kun, you should try a cup!" Nyaruko called out with glowing eyes, holding a warm cup of noodles in her hands.
"Sure."
Seito glanced at the leftover noodle cups on the table, pulled one open, poured in hot water, and set it aside to brew.
Meanwhile, Professor Oak's eyes landed on the Shiny Ralts sitting on Seito's shoulder.
"A Shiny Ralts?!" Professor Oak gasped in sheer surprise.
Ralts was already an extraordinarily rare Pokémon to begin with. The fact that Seito casually went out and brought back a Shiny variant was completely beyond the Professor's expectations!
"It was just good timing," Seito smiled lightly.
"Would you mind letting me run a quick diagnostic scan on its data later?" Professor Oak asked excitedly. It was his first time coming across a Shiny Ralts, and he was eager to examine its unique characteristics.
"No problem," Seito nodded. Running a simple data check was a minor request.
"Wonderful!" Professor Oak beamed. It was clear he was genuinely passionate about his work as a Pokémon researcher—a pure scholar at heart!
Young Sakura and Illya also gathered around, looking at the Shiny Ralts on Seito's shoulder with wide, curious eyes.
Beep-beep~!
Suddenly! A crisp system notification pinged inside Seito's mind!
Slightly taken aback, Seito opened his personal interface and found the executive private chat channel blowing up with ping notifications.
[Maple: @Seito. Seito-kun, you need to hurry back! Something major just happened on our end!]
Reading Maple's message, Seito froze.
Something happened?
Without lingering, he composed a message and fired it into the group.
[Seito: What's going on?]
[Maple: Two unknown Early-Stage Main Gods just broke into our God-King Star Sector! They're locked in a battle with Sora right now, and Sora might not be able to hold them off much longer!]
[Seito: ???]
Seito was utterly bewildered.
How on earth did two random Early-Stage Main Gods suddenly show up out of nowhere?
After absorbing the Divine Power Points Seito gave him, Sora had only barely stepped across the threshold into the Early-Stage Main God Realm. On top of that, he didn't even possess an Origin Artifact of his own. Facing the coordinated assault of two veteran Early-Stage Main Gods, Sora was vastly outmatched!
Without hesitation, Seito pressed further to ask why these two foreign Main Gods were raiding the God-King Star Sector.
The reason was simple!
While roaming through deep space, those two invaders had caught wind of the Star Grail held by Tet! After all, the Star Grail was a God-King grade artifact infused with Creation Energy! Driven by greed, the two Early-Stage Main Gods launched an all-out assault on the sector to seize it!
[Seito: I'm on my way!]
Closing out the chat panel, Seito gently set Ralts down and turned to Nyaruko with a serious expression: "Nyaruko, stay here and keep an eye on Sakura and the others for a bit. I need to head back to the God-King Star Sector immediately—two Early-Stage Main Gods are trying to snatch the Star Grail from Tet."
"Got it!" Nyaruko paused in surprise before nodding sternly.
The rest of the group watched on in complete confusion, unable to follow the sudden shift in tone. However, hearing high-tier terms like "God-Kings" and "Main Gods," it was blatantly obvious that whatever Seito and Nyaruko were discussing was far beyond what ordinary mortals could ever intervene in.
Without wasting another second, Seito activated his spatial authority and vanished on the spot.
The Merged Universe... Perimeter of the God-King Star Sector.
BOOM!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM~~!!
Three Early-Stage Main Gods clashed violently in deep space, the shockwaves instantly shattering nearby dead planets and asteroid belts into space dust! Even newly forming black holes in the vicinity were forcibly snuffed out by the sheer collision of divine energy!
Cosmic storms raged wildly across the sector, turning the entire star field into a terrifying death zone.
"Pfft~!"
Sora took a heavy, devastating punch straight to the chest, spitting out a mouthful of golden divine blood as he was sent tumbling backward across space. Forcibly stabilizing his body, he stood firm in the vacuum.
Gasp... gasp...
Breathing heavily, Sora glared at the two figures standing opposite him.
Both invaders possessed Western features with glowing golden hair and fair skin.
"Heh, Game Main God, I must admit your resilience is quite impressive," an elder with a seemingly warm, friendly smile remarked softly. Yet beneath his holy aura lurked a suffocating wave of murderous intent!
This entity was none other than the Main God of Light!
"Cut the useless chatter, finish him off!" a cold voice demanded from the side.
Surrounded by swirling black mist, this second entity was the Main God of Darkness!
"Do you two truly think you've won?" Sora wiped the golden blood from his lips, his mouth curving into a sharp grin.
"Hmm?" The two invader Main Gods frowned slightly.
"What? Are you still dreaming of escaping?" the Main God of Light asked with a subtle smirk, contempt flashing across his divine eyes.
Sora's defeat was an absolute certainty—a set-in-stone outcome!
"Heh."
Sora smiled without uttering another word.
He was the God of Games! When it came to games, he had to win; losing was simply not an option!
Given his current situation, as long as he stalled until Seito arrived, he would claim absolute victory in this clash! And Seito wouldn't take more than five minutes at most!
After all, Seito was the Space-Time Main God! Empowered by absolute spatial authority, Seito could traverse vast cosmic distances in the blink of an eye!
Thus, Sora was absolutely certain that victory was already in his hands!
Without a single word of nonsense, he threw himself back into the chaotic fray against the two foreign Main Gods.
God-King Star Sector, Western Sector.
Inside the Main God Palace of the Western Faction.
Watching the apocalyptic clash between Sora and the two invader Main Gods outside the star sector, everyone inside the palace held their breath in immense tension...
