Lord of Myths: I Can Summon and Fuse Divine Powers.-Chapter 88: The End.

"I think it's time to end this, [Pashupatastra]," Tomas announced with a smile while in front of him, a majestic bow made of golden and silver mosaics shone.

The bow itself was loaded with a powerful arrow that shone an intense golden color.

That light pulsed with such intensity it was capable of illuminating all the darkness of that dark dimension.

Its light was so great it even eclipsed the artificial stars of the cosmic ocean.

"What will you do now, brother?" Tomas asked with a smile.

But Alioth, while impressed, didn't seem decided to give up.

"Alright, I'll also go all out," Lloyd responded seriously, as he raised his arm.

Behind him, the primordial water began to mold little by little, and take shape. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The shape of a tree.

"[Ished Tree]," the boy then said.

Yes, he was invoking the root of his very power, the tree that contained all those memories, all those legends.

Alioth was going to give everything too.

All the tree's leaves began to shine an intense golden color.

"What is that? Do you think invoking a little tree will allow you to block the most powerful Devastra? You yourself—" Tomas commented, as the arrow's light became more intense.

Then, the arrow fired, with immense power.

Shot like a ray of golden and impossible energy.

However, Alioth extended his arm toward the arrow.

Suddenly, the leaves became weapons.

Hundreds of weapons began to be fired from the Ished tree toward the Pashupatastra's arrow.

A powerful clash occurred, between an energy ray capable of annihilating everything, against a great barrage of weapons belonging to the mythology of another world.

That entire dimension trembled before the clash of two powers.

The strongest Devastra against the entire arsenal of memories of a simple boy.

Who was destined to win?

On one side only raw power.

But on the other, a chaotic barrage with hundreds of different weapons.

All of them with different powers and stories, that perhaps didn't combine with each other, but did have meaning.

The Pashupatastra began to tremble, the barrage began to pierce through that energy ray.

Yes, hundreds of memories were spent, but it was having an effect.

"It can't be, what the hell is happening? What is that thing?" Tomas wondered confused.

But then he saw it.

Each weapon was distinct, different, unique.

Each weapon was a different legend.

"Wait... then—" the boy opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He had realized something important.

At first, Tomas thought his brother was using mythologies he himself knew.

He didn't know his brother listened to his stories when he was in a coma.

"Did he really hear me?" the young man said to himself, disconcerted.

Had his brother really listened to him?

Had his effort on Earth actually had meaning?

Upon realizing that, something changed in Tomas.

Right now it wasn't he and his brother fighting, but his achievements from Earth with the achievements of that world.

Which had more value to him?

The effort and help he had given his dying brother?

Or becoming a monster to fight against the order governing the world?

Tomas remained paralyzed in that dilemma, without realizing the barrage of weapons had already surpassed the Pashupatastra and broken his bow.

A large number of weapons hit him directly, however, he didn't resist.

"Heh... you really paid attention to my silly stories, right?" Tomas asked with a weak voice, as his body fell onto the primordial ocean's mass.

Alioth fell to his knees, exhausted.

The tree had run out of leaves, but it had been worth it.

He had managed to defeat... his brother.

"So it really was you..." Alioth wondered, with a bitter smile.

After all, only if that man truly was Tomas, would he have cared that Alioth had really listened to him when he was in a coma.

If he were an actor, he simply wouldn't have cared.

"Wow... I suppose this changed things a bit," Alioth said to himself with repressed sadness.

However, he didn't cry.

It didn't make sense.

After all, he had managed to stop his brother.

That was something good, not something bad.

Alioth sighed.

While Abzun devoured the remains of the weapons and his brother's body, Alioth stood up.

"It's time to end this," he said coldly, as the dimension seemed to crack, until breaking completely, and revealing a much wider void.

Alioth didn't have time to rest.

As soon as that void was revealed, he could see another combat unfolding.

The Lwa were fighting with a woman very similar to Caligo.

Many other Lwa lay dead in their doll form.

It was hard to see, but he couldn't let himself be affected.

He would have time to mourn his own later.

Alioth looked better at the combat, Nora was also there, fighting against that woman.

"Stupid brat, I already told you I established the law [nothing in this world can harm me], I'm invulnerable you know? You can't defeat me," the woman affirmed arrogantly as she hit Nora and sent her backward.

Alioth clearly heard those words, as he slowly walked toward them.

The boy didn't think too much.

If nothing from this world could harm that woman, he simply had to use a weapon that wasn't from this world.

Or rather, a story that wasn't from this world.

He stretched his hand toward Abzun.

From the primordial ocean's mass came a sword forged with the remains of several mythological weapons that had been destroyed upon impacting against the Pashupatastra.

Alioth didn't hesitate much, he threw the sword toward Nora.

Seeing it, Nora didn't hesitate an instant, no words were needed, she just trusted Alioth.

The girl grabbed the sword and ran toward the Ashura.

"Tch, using a stupid sword won't change anything. I'm Invincible! Make it cle—"

But the woman couldn't continue, before finishing her sentence, the sword cut her in two.

Her axiom didn't protect her against elements from other worlds.

The sword cut her flesh and essence, and her body ended up wrapped in black flames that consumed her completely, without her even realizing her mistake.

Evil had been defeated.

Hours passed before Nora and Alioth recovered, and could return to their own.

Evil had been defeated, there was nothing left to fight against.

Alioth learned of Anansi's death, and was quite saddened, however, he was willing to continue her legacy, so he decided to leave Caelestia, in search of adventures and to end Azoth's contamination.

On the other hand, Nora, she followed her path, and decided to become a heroine.

A heroine who watches over everyone, and who is not under anyone's command.

That was her path.

Tomas's death and the destruction of the demon goddess of tyranny's essence were something definitive.

But the world continued with dangers, injustices, as in all worlds.

But that wasn't something Alioth cared about, he wasn't like his brother, obsessed with changing the world.

He would simply do what was in his power to prevent the injustices he could see and repair the world in his own way.

And that's what he would dedicate his life to from now on.
