My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1998

The pope thrust his scepter into his own body. In an instant, a dazzling light beam shone on the pope's body, bursting forth intense true energy.

At this moment, the palace was razed to the ground.

The pope woke up amidst the ruins. He had completely surrendered his soul to the gods now.

"I'm now the incarnation of the gods in the human world. I have authority over all the gods. I'm both heaven and purgatory! And those who oppose me are just mere pests struggling to their doom."

Sven and Marie climbed out of the ruins. His hands were shaking non-stop as he looked at the pope.

"W-What's going on? I don't feel scared. But why are my hands and my body shaking?"

The pope glanced lightly in Sven's direction. The next moment, flames ignited and soared into the sky. The soaring flames seemed to melt everything around them.

Then, there was deathly silence. The surrounding area was scorched black. There was no light, only dark clouds as it started to rain heavily.

The palace ruins were located at the center of the country, and the dark clouds gathered there.

All of a sudden, there was lightning and thunder. Deep rumbles could be heard from the dark clouds.

Suddenly, a burned man fell at the feet of the pope. The pope lowered his head to take a look.

"Warden? What..."

"All troops! Attack!"

A group of uniformed soldiers in perfect formation charged toward the palace ruins. For a moment, the sky and the earth became one. Everything was blinding yet black as a void.

The pope heard the roar of the soldiers, and there was something else from up in the sky too!

With a crash, a giant dragon pierced through the dark clouds with a veracity that threatened to smash the sky into pieces. Where it flew, a ray of light shone through.

"Torah, speed ​​up! We’re almost there!"

"Loyal slaves, clear out the rebels!"

In an instant, the Espers swarmed toward the soldiers and started fighting with them.

"Chester, is Val ready?!" Cormick asked anxiously below.

"Hold on a little longer! Soon! Soon! Torah, be careful!"

In the sky, Torah's feet got caught by the tentacles.

Everyone was violently dragged to the ground by the powerful force. A huge monster stood on the palace ruins before them.

"Bastard! Come on, you ugly monster!" Torah's bulging muscles expanded rapidly. His huge wings disappeared from his back as his body size grew to become as big as that huge monster.

The two giant beasts raged on the battlefield.
