KYRO FAILED again.
No matter how many lives he sacrificed to create a perfect human body, he couldn't complete it. Moreover, Kalel's body was about to break already. His stubborn son, despite being suppressed for many years, was still fighting back to take over his body again.
"Stop fighting me," Kyro growled while clutching his chest tight. "What use would reclaiming your body bring you, anyway? Soleil Rosenberg is no longer in this world!"
It seemed like his words reached his son's consciousness.
After all, Kalel's presence weakened until it disappeared completely. Only then did he breathe comfortably again.
"You're being too harsh on our son, darling."
He turned to Yumi, his precious wife.
Although his wife was covered with the blood of their human sacrifices, she remained beautiful in his eyes.
"I'm just scolding our son a little," he said, then he wiped the blood off of Yumi's cheek. "You should rest, darling."
Yumi looked around the underground basement that served as their laboratory.
There was blood everywhere they looked. The smell of burning flesh was also strong. In short, it didn't look like a proper room for a god.
"Darling, do you really need a human body?" Yumi asked seriously when she turned to him again. "I want to support you with your goal. But I really can't understand how a human's body would be greater than your physical body as a god."
Ah, it seemed like he hadn't told his wife the truth yet.
A long time ago, he just told her he needed a human body to become an omnipotence being. But he didn't tell her the details because he was afraid that his enemy gods might be listening.
But now that the Sky and Sun God were completely powerless against him, he could freely talk about his goal now.
"Darling, Soleil Rosenberg was a human being," he said carefully. "And she will always be a human being no matter how many times she reincarnated."
His wife looked confused. "It sounds like a scam because even though Soleil Rosenberg was a human, she had the potential to be a god. Can we really call her a human when she could tame the Beast Gods, and control the most powerful flame in the world?"
"Darling, did you know why the gods stopped killing each other and decided to co-exist in the heavens?"
Yumi nodded before she answered. "Didn't the main gods make an oath that they would never directly kill one another? That no weapons, spells, or other means of killing would affect one another?"
That was the reason he used the ambitious Auro/Aku Moonchester.
He, as a supreme god, couldn't kill his enemies directly. That was also the reason the Sun and the Sky God chose people to help them kill him.
That also meant one thing.
"Only a human could kill us," he said with a smirk. "A human who has the power of a god, that is."
"Are you saying that Soleil Rosenberg could kill you, darling?"
He nodded before giving an explanation. "Yes. Moreover, she swallowed the sun."
"But the Sun God is still alive."
"I didn't mean the Sun God," he explained gently. "When gods made the oath to never kill each other directly, we also surrendered a portion of our power and put it in an orb that resembles the sun. The cunning Sun God, to make sure that none of us could steal it, made Soleil Rosenberg swallow the sun."
"And you couldn't just open up Soleil's body to retrieve the sun?"
"I wanted to, but the Sun God protected the orb," he said while shaking his head. "Only a human could swallow the sun."
Yumi's eyes widened in shock. "So, that's the reason why you wanted a human body?"
"Yes, darling," he said while nodding. "I could only steal the sun once I already have a human body. Otherwise, it would be futile. After all, even Kalel's physical body isn't the body of a human being. Moreover, I can't trust anyone with the sun." He clenched his hands tight. "It has to be mine, and mine alone."
"But why?" his wife asked, still confused. "You're already a powerful god. Even if you can't kill the Sky and the Sun God directly, you have the right people at your disposal to get rid of them. I know that killing the main gods isn't easy, but it's not impossible."
"Darling, killing them isn't my priority."
"Then what is?"
"The sun that Soleil Rosenberg makes her the real god of this world," he said bitterly. "After all, once she gets reincarnated, this world would collapse."
For that reason, he invaded the Plane.
He was doing everything in his power to delay Soleil Rosenberg's reincarnation. But his power couldn't manipulate the Plane for long. Thus, he had to hurry and create the perfect human body for himself.
Yumi's brows furrowed in confusion. "This world would collapse once Soleil Rosenberg gets reincarnated? But how would that happen?"
"Because of the power of Time and Reality in the sun that she swallowed. It was created after all the main gods' powers were combined," Kyro explained, then he clenched his hands in anger. "As long as the sun is in Soleil Rosenberg's body, she is omnipotent." He smiled at his wife bitterly. "That means the world where Soleil Rosenberg lives is the only world that will survive, while the other realities where she no longer exists would collapse and disappear."
Thus, letting Soleil Rosenberg live was the gods' biggest mistake.

AURO MOONCHESTER laughed while watching Winchell, in his Red Phoenix form, lead hundreds of Fire Mages to attack the Fire Mages led by Julian. Right now, he was standing in the highest tower in Julian's palace to watch everything. "That fool," he said while watching the Red Phoenix roam the night sky. "He accepted my invitation."
By invitation, he meant the corpses of thousands of Fire Mages that he had killed over the years.
He didn't know where Winchell and the other Fire Mages had been hiding all this time.
But when he took a peek at Julian's memory in the past, a blurry memory of the young man caught his eye. It seemed like he was talking to someone, but that person was erased from his memory. However, that person failed to erase the location of where Julian had met them.
[I'm certain that it's the Redsun Desert where Mount Sola is located.]
Thus, he used the desert as a dumpsite for the Fire Mages corpses.
"Lord Denver," he called the current leader of the Fire Wielders. "Did you do it properly?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lord Denver, who was standing behind him, said politely. "We had successfully implanted the trap in every member of Lord Julian's clan."
Julian's clan was the new Fire Mage Clan.
Unlike the clan that was led by Lady Soleil Rosenberg and Winchell in the past, the clan that Julian led was amiable and listened to him well. Heck, Julian and his Fire Mages even helped the Fire Wielders train.
He really liked Julian.
But too bad he needed him and his clan to fight Winchell.
He opened his right hand and in just a few moments, an ice staff materialized. He grabbed it tight and looked at him fondly. It was the ice staff that Kalel owned, and it would give Auro the power to control his brother's ice.
"Brother, let me borrow your ice power," Auro said, then he laughed again. "Let me use your power to kill your own descendants."
***
WHEN WINCHELL descended from the sky, he returned to his human form.
He frowned and clenched his hands while leading the Fire Mages that he brought to bring Auro Moonchester down.
But what greeted him was a horrible sight.
The Fire Mages that was led by Julian, the child who claimed to be his beloved sister's son, stopped them. But before the fight even began, the enemy Fire Mages dropped dead one by one. And the most shocking thing?
[They literally froze!]
Then the dead Fire Mages, now covered with ice, returned to life and acted like puppets. After that, the ice "zombies" attacked them mindlessly.
"For the Fire Mages to be turned into ice puppets…"
It made his chest heavy.
He couldn't stomach the fact that his family's descendants had turned into such an existence. A Fire Mage should wield flame, and not be frozen by ice.
It left him with no other choice.
"I'll give you all a decent death," Winchell whispered to himself, then he raised his voice for his Fire Mages to hear. "Let's burn everyone to ashes!"
***
JULIAN was too late,
When he arrived at the scene, his clan members were all being burned alive. And the one standing in the middle of the battlefield was none other than his uncle.
"How could you?" Julian asked in a shaking voice. "How could you do this to my family?!"
Winchell smirked at him. "What are you going to do about it, child?"
