Squeak~
A shrill, piercing shriek that seemed to make even the soul tremble kept coming from the grayish-white mass.
The Emperor, who had never looked much like a human to begin with, now seemed to have turned into a silvery-white blob of slime. The three gods continuously joined forces to pour their power into him, wearing him down.
Their combined authorities were extremely effective.
"Haha, it's almost done at last."
"As expected of someone who once ruled over an Evil God. His vitality is incredible."
"Heh, we've almost got the World Will sorted out, too. We just need to take out his remains and communicate with it a little more, and we should get our reward."
"I'm really looking forward to it, haha!"
The earlier battle had already forced the three of them to keep working together, expending a great deal of energy and even Willpower.
Now, to completely grind the Emperor away, they had to keep at it for even longer.
Being tainted by an Evil God really did make things much more troublesome.
Still, if they wanted to do the job properly, this was something they had no choice but to do!

As the final blob of slime-like, grayish-white mass broke apart, the fragments of authority began to drift away, and at last the Emperor's tenacious divine soul lost its anchor.
"A shame. He was so heavily corrupted by the Evil God. Otherwise, even the remnants of his dominion would have fetched a decent price."
"How many fragments of authority could be left? The only things of real value were those two artifacts. He lost his mind under the Evil God's influence, so he didn't destroy everything in a final act of mutual destruction. That made him more troublesome, but we got more out of it..."
