abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ringing in their ears faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light that devoured all faded, Alon thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The timing was

in his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Divine Punishment fell, they had thrown themselves forward without hesitation to shield him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of them afterward was dreadful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly embodied sin, then that blast should have erased them completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuduk—tudu-duk~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, the sins began regenerating from their near-annihilated forms, utterly unbothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if nothing

on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, a futile war of attrition continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sins and their opponents exchanged endless blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon and Yutia struck at One Who Bears It again and again—five times so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, regrettably, none of those strikes had delivered a meaningful wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Alon

strike aimed straight for his heart, Alon grabbed his pounding head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced his dizzy mind to analyze the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the situation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at its best, was grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worst—hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deus and the others were holding off the sins as best they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yutia was barely managing to fend off One Who Bears It’s relentless attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, for now, the battle line held steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—it looked as though it was still running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon swiftly rolled his eyes around, scanning the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fighting against the Sins looked utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, the Sins showed no sign of fatigue or damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, as time went on, the situation would only grow more hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike those things, which seemed to possess no limit to their stamina, this side was rapidly wearing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The moment even one of us collapses from exhaustion on this field—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeat would be certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon exhaled raggedly and forced his mind to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t in peak condition himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using Reverse Heaven more than five times, his head felt as though it were burning from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the awakening he triggered using Blackie had already far exceeded its safe limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he prepared another strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regretfully, no ideal strategy surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already tried every method imaginable through those five attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what kind of attack he unleashed, in the end, it always failed to land the finishing blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever significant damage was about to reach One Who Bears It, the Sins would immediately shield him with their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, unless he could kill the Sins first, it was impossible to harm One Who Bears It.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Sins he created would not die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a situation without an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—even without an answer, he could not stop thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon didn’t want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon didn’t want to lose anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in the midst of desperate thought and frantic movement—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!!.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, he thought he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be sure it was the right answer, but one thing was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yutia—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, My Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no other choice left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you hold that thing off for as long as possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Yutia behind with her nod of assent, Alon pressed his foot into the ground—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Formation of Thunder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated Raijin Form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pazik—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash of blue lightning, Alon shot up into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that brief instant, he looked down upon the battlefield below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he saw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers trapped in the black abyss, unable to escape, surrounded by jagged terrain like spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces all carried the same look of fear, spreading like a plague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them knew instinctively that this was the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, Alon whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manifest—Faith.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew forth the divinity of Kalannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pazizizizik—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a skin-crawling crackle, lightning exploded outward, flooding the abyssal world in blinding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand toward the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pazizizizik—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue lightning linked the ground and the sky, gathering into his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Who Bears It turned his gaze upward, ready to move, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uuuung—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His motion was blocked by the multiple layers of barriers Yutia had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwajijijik!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, every barrier she made shattered instantly each time his greatsword swung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke through them faster than she could reconstruct them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he destroyed the final barrier, he leapt forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not so fast~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone blocked his path as he prepared to leap skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ryanga, wearing a feral grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaaaang—!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still midair, Ryanga’s kick slammed into One Who Bears It’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath exploded apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makalian Eclipse—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the shattered earth was bound by threads of violet light, it wrapped around One Who Bears It like a net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black hands emerged from the massive sphere, layering upon one another as if to shield it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sins rushed to his aid, trying to break through the encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rang-chang, rang-chang—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Formula—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden sword slashes and invisible blades intercepted the Sins who charged in, undeterred even as their bodies dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwa-duduk-duk—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, dozens of golden coffins surged forward in synchronized motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that suffocating chain of attacks came to an end—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though mocking their efforts, One Who Bears It shattered all restraints in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot upward toward the sky—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And appeared directly beneath Alon in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incredibly fast ascent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryanga and Seolrang widened their eyes and shouted up toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers below, who had moments ago held fleeting hope under the blue lightning, now felt despair and resignation flood their faces again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, as if delivering the final blow—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Block—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother—!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Who Bears It raised his greatsword high, mocking the screams that echoed from below, and aimed straight for Alon’s heart—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaduk—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he failed to pierce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small blossom of the Eternal Flower embedded near Alon’s heart had stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that brief moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon’s numb gaze met One Who Bears It’s void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes intertwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue currents burst in every direction, striking down upon One Who Bears It.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue sun rose within the dark galaxy of the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned toward the lightning-wreathed Alon and One Who Bears It impaled upon the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair turned into doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pazik—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doubt turned into belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pajijik!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belief turned into praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And praise, into hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as all looked on in awe, Alon instinctively knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s not enough.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed down at One Who Bears It.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the direct strike, his greatsword still moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It passed through the spot where the Eternal Flower had vanished—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And reached straight for Alon’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the greatsword didn’t reach him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack alone would never be enough to defeat One Who Bears It.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed one decisive move that could end this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that fleeting moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless thoughts raced through Alon’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, there was nothing left he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already poured every last drop of divine power into this strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could use Reverse Heaven again—yes, that would surely finish One Who Bears It—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he did, it would also kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was already far past its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, as his mind struggled to find a way—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Do you know what’s most important when one becomes a god?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘...What?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Shall I tell you?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What is it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s Imprint.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......Imprint?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s about how you are perceived as a being.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Eliban’s voice echo through his mind like a flashback, Alon suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if Eliban had known this very situation would come, his earlier words now revealed the only path Alon could take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reverse...Heaven—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon’s head burned once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-tears streamed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts began to flicker, cutting in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision darkened and brightened in chaotic rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Alon realized it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he took even one more step forward, he would be crossing a river from which he could never return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even knowing that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark galaxy began to fill with Alon’s starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana poured out of his body in violent bursts, distorted by calculation errors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that instant, Penia’s words resurfaced like a dying flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Mmm~ if it works like this, then we’ve finally perfected the technology we first set out to create. But—once again, you must not use it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘...Because the mana cost is too high?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Yes. I’m serious—this spell consumes so much mana that even Reverse Heaven won’t be able to keep up. If the Marquis can’t perfectly control the flow of power beyond a certain point, he’ll die the moment he casts it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That bad?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Of course. After all, this spell combines multiple decoded spells into a single executable sequence.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the gauntlet on Alon’s hand, a black mist-like substance began to flow out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘By the way, why did you choose that as the activation phrase?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stars that had been maintaining their form moments ago began to transform all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Because it fits the first page.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That’s the reason?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Yes. It sounds cool, doesn’t it? So let’s go with that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alon’s right hand formed a seal—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let there be light.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the abyssal galaxy—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sun was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of suns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awe blossomed.\u003C\u002Fp>",2245,"2026-06-02T12:43:45.413Z",1,"novelbin.me","2fcab04b4c43ada911d974be3fa95407268eb7bf3438edf20c26ee4fd0006f70","became-the-patron-of-villains-chapter-368","became-the-patron-of-villains-chapter-366",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecame-the-patron-of-villains-cover.jpg"]
