Volume 5 Chapter 36
The Final Battle with Jamael.
The airborne fortress he'd created began to tremble.
Thanks to my sister Cino's mass teleportation magic, we all escaped.
We hopped onto the broom Cino produced...and I stared.
"What...the hell...is that.... A giant?"
The thing that had been an aerial fortress was transforming into a giant.
It looked like it was made of stacked bricks and minerals.
But....
'GROOOOOWL! How's this! This is the pinnacle of artificial life! The Gigantic Homunculus!'
"A Homunculus..."
Cino muttered.
"A man-made life form created by applying alchemy. But something that massive shouldn't be possible..."
'NUH-HA-HA! Zeke! I'm using your power!'
My power...that means...
"The Hand of God?"
'Exactly! I've learned the Hand of God and can now replicate it! With overwhelming divine power, I've brought this giant life into existence!'
Jamael was probably inside that Gigantic Homunculus.
'Zeke! You're finished! With the power of God, and the power to rival God, I have no enemy!'
"...The power of God, huh?"
Come to think of it, I'd saved so many people with this power.
I was able to heal near-fatal beasts and even bring back the dead.
Truly, a miraculous power.
That power was now standing before me.
I understood better than anyone how powerful the power of God was, since I used it myself.
But...I didn't feel fear.
'What's with that face! Your power won't work on me! Despair!'
Annoyed that I wasn't shaken, Jamael raised his voice.
Hmph...
"Sorry, Jamael. I won't despair. Because..."
'DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'
The giant swung its arm, trying to crush me.
*CLANK!*
'What!? A barrier created by the Hand of God!? Impossible... Divine power shouldn't work!'
"Too bad, Jamael. This isn't the power of God."
'Wha-!? Y-You bastard...!'
The one who deflected the giant's blow was....
My father, Grisha.
'Grisha...! Why?! You're supposed to be a living dead! You should absolutely obey my commands, right!?'
Normally, my father couldn't defy Jamael.
But....
"I'm no longer a living dead."
'Whattt!?'
"Zeke breathed new life into me. I have... ceased being a living dead, and returned to being just a human."
Infusing new life (divine magic) into my father.
By doing so, he transformed from a living dead, a magic beast, back to being human... or rather, evolved.
"I see, existence evolution! The living dead evolved and became human!"
"Just as Cino said."
When magic beasts receive magical energy from the outside, their existence evolves.
Just like Chippy could take on a human form, my father, who was once a living dead, could become human too.
"Jamael. It seems you've acquired formidable power... but sorry. I have strong power too. Right, everyone!"
Beasts gathered around me.
The magic beasts from the aerial fortress were all here.
The sky was filled with a sea of beasts.
"Now, Jamael. Brace yourself. Let's see which is stronger: the power of a god or our power!"
