Chapter 226: End Of The Lesser God of Destruction Trull

KNOWLEDGE-TRACER.

Stella started grinning. Joseph could feel himself grinning, too.

"You found him," she said.

"Yeah. A divine intervention that big left me enough traces. The corrupted mana messes with my abilities and I probably couldn't have traced him all the way back to his divine realm without learning META, but I can now, and that's all that matters. So, my dear wife, are you ready to watch me kill a lesser god of destruction?"

Stella laughed. It was a dark laugh, but still sexy. "I brought popcorn."

"Let's get ready, Chuck. Who knows? Killing a god might be enough to impress Saisho into that date you wanted."

"Do you really think that will work?"

"I have no idea but it can't hurt."

"Alright! Let's beat this little shavist god then!"

XxxxX

It only took an hour to get everything set up. Joseph hadn't wanted to risk summoning a god of destruction in his kingdom, so they went back to the ruins of his childhood home.

The circles practically drew themselves by this point. Joseph was good at it before the change, so drawing them now was effortless.

Issa and the rest were projecting the fight back in the kingdom, so everyone could watch. They had already showed the fight with the Imugi, and it had gotten great reviews. Everyone was looking forward to watching this live, so he declared a day of rest. Joseph had hated when co-workers would give out spoilers to his favorite shows that he hadn't had a chance to watch yet, in past lives.

"You seem far too relaxed, to be about to fight a god, Joseph," Stella mumbled, but he could tell she was looking forward to the beat down he had planned on giving.

This shavist had murdered his mother. In some ways, watching this was therapeutic for his people, as well. He had a dozen ways to kill him, if things started going south, but he really wanted to beat him to death.

'The fight with the Imugi, was enjoyed a bit much,' Joe thought.

'I would blame Chuck's influence, but this one needs to suffer,' thought Joseph back.

GATE/NECROMANCY-SUMMON GOD Trull.

The twin sun that fed Chuck, were more than enough power for this.

"How cute. Trull is trying to resist the summoning," he said, for the benefit of all those watching. "Come here, NOW."

The sudden pulse ripped Trull out of his precious divine domain and onto Joseph's turf. With a giant swing of his new solid orichalcum staff, he crushed his face in, and he went down.

"Still has plenty of life in him," he said to himself as Trull turned and glared at him.

Stella was calmly munching her popcorn behind him.

Trull used his eyes of destruction and started disintegrating the chest armor on Chuck.

TECHNOLOGY-REBUILD.

Joe just started cycling it. They repaired faster, than he destroyed, so it felt like a nasty rash. With an overhead swing Trull was smashed into the ground.

"I taught you how to fight better than this," Stella grumbled, but she was enjoying the fight anyway.

Stomping up, Joseph kicked Trull's head into the air, snapping it back for a full flip. He activated his eyes to be stronger, but Chuck grew his claws longer, and stabbed his eyes out.

There was a moment that Joseph allowed him to scream, before swinging from low to high. Trull was nothing more than a solid black human form, so when the staff connected, Joseph hoped he would react the same way a human would. Sure enough, Trull crumpled into a ball, leaking a rainbow of colors from where his eyes used to be, as his pelvis was completely crushed.

Glancing at his staff, Joseph frowned at the bent handle. He was sure he could fix it.

MAKING-REPAIR.

Better. Gods were tough though, as his wounds began healing, even while he was unconscious.

"Hey Chuck, I'm thinking you could use an upgrade."

"What do you mean?"

Joseph delicately used Chuck's claws to rip Trull's eyes out, as they repaired themselves.

BODY CONTROL-NUMB.

"That feels funny," muttered Chuck. "Joseph, are you sure about this?"

"Not before, but now it's no problem. Remember Chuck, you have a lot of god in you."

"Alright."

Joseph gently pulled Chuck's eyes out, and put in Trull's. He was a lot more careful with Chuck, though.

HEAL.

"Wow, this will take some getting used to," proclaimed Chuck.

"They are powered by his divinity. I don't need it, so you and the system can split it."

Trull seemed to be waking up, but it was too late. Chuck grabbed his head in both hands and held on.

NECROMANCY-STEAL.

Joseph didn't even bother to differentiate what he was stealing. He took it all. Trull started flopping around, like he was having a seizure, but Chuck didn't let go until Trull turned into a withered husk and died. Then, Chuck ripped his head off, as the husk turned into dust.

While it didn't leave anything, to make new items out of, the power went straight into Chuck at much greater efficiency. The system was considerate and only took a bit of the divinity. The last few drops went straight from Trull's soul to the system, as the system had more experience dealing with souls. It wouldn't do to let Chuck get possessed after all.

(CHUCK HAS BECOME A DEMIGOD OF DESTRUCTION. DEMIGODS ARE EQUAL TO LESSER GODS IN STRENGTH, BUT HAVE YET TO CREATE A DIVINE REALM AND ASCEND.)

"Nah, I'm good here," said Chuck with a chuckle.

"Finish your popcorn, Stella?"

"Yeah, but I barely started on my nachos."

"Give me a bite then."

"Ok, here."

(I THINK I MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE BETTER DEAL THAN CHUCK, ON DIVINITY. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR PEOPLE ARE WORSHIPPING YOU RIGHT NOW? OH, AND SEVERAL GODS JUST DID THE EQUIVALENT OF PEEING THEMSELVES. APPARENTLY, SUCKING THE DIVINITY OUT OF A GOD BY A MORTAL, HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. I'D GIVE YOU MORE TITLES FOR IT, BUT THE BENEFITS OVERLAP INSTEAD OF STACKING. DIVINE BANE ALREADY TAKES CARE OF MOST OF THE OTHER TITLE BENEFITS.)

"Alright. Now let's head to the world tree. If we don't run into any other issues, we should make it by tomorrow night."

"Finally," exclaimed Stella in excitement.

(OH, AND ALL OF TRULL'S TRUE WORSHIPPERS, WERE JUST KILLED. I WANTED TO CHECK. CHUCK IS GOING TO NEED TO GET HIS OWN AWE AND FEAR FACTION GOING IF HE INTENDS TO USE THOSE EYES OF DESTRUCTION YOU JUST GAVE HIM.)
