Chapter 517: The World’s Gods (1)

Regina was not human. She was a Valkyrie, a war doll created by Camilla from the remains of her daughter.

Usually, Valkyries were more like robots than humans. They were unable to have feelings, and their actions were completely based on a series of algorithms.

But Camilla, perhaps in an attempt to bring her daughter back to life, or perhaps because she did not want Bloed to feel lonely, tried something that nobody else tried before.

She fused what remained of her daughter's mind with the Valkyrie's algorithms.

As result, the most human-like Valkyrie in history appeared.

Regina was able to learn emotions. After she was born, she learned sadness, joy, anger, and love.

But in spite of that, it was a stretch to say that Regina was 'human'.

Just as Eve said when she saw Regina for the first time, Regina's soul was incomplete. It was lacking something to be considered an 'individual'. Due to it, Regina's strength was stuck at the level she had when she was created.

In fact, Regina's incomplete soul was not really a problem. Neither Regina nor Bloed knew it, but the nature of souls dictates that souls become stronger as the body becomes stronger. Regina's body was strong enough, so it was just a matter of time, perhaps a few years, before her soul became complete.

But there was another way for her soul to grow.

Strong emotions could serve as a catalyst to bring her soul close to completion.

And today, Regina's soul growth accelerated all of sudden.

"Break!"

With a roar, Regina swung her energy sword.

Endless psionic energy erupted out of her mind, strengthening her sword beyond the limits.

The energy sword broke through the cage of flames, allowing Regina to escape the Sun God's domain.

[Impossible!] The Sun God was in disbelief.

He was a god, and in terms of strength, he was in the upper tier among gods. His domain was not something that demigods could escape from.

Only gods and Irregulars could escape from it, but Regina was neither.

Unless

[She is becoming an Irregular?]

The Sun God was not wrong. Regina's soul growth allowed her to break through her limits, giving her the opportunity to become an Irregular.

Even though she was not an Irregular yet, as long as she broke through her limits, she would gain the qualification to be considered an Irregular.

The Sun God furrowed his brows, then, he sighed.

In the next instant, his body disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was in front of Regina.

Regina was surprised. Instinctively, she swung her energy sword towards him, but the Sun God grabbed it with his hand easily.

[It's time to stop playing around.] He said indifferently.

The next instant, Regina felt a strong impact in her stomach.

The impact sent her against the ground. But that was just the start. Next, the Sun God waved his hand, creating several fire swords that descended toward Regina.

Regina gritted her teeth and materialized an energy shield to defend against the fire swords, but when the fire swords hit her shield, they exploded.

*BOOM!!!*

The powerful explosions created balls of flames that could be seen from kilometers of distance.

One second later, Regina jumped out of the explosions, only to see the Sun God extending his hand in her direction.

The next second, a beam of fire was shot toward her.

'Dangerous!'

Facing that beam of fire, Regina could only use her energy sword to receive it, but even so, she was flung away.

The heat of the fire beam incinerated her clothes. Burns appeared all over her skin, and part of her beautiful silver hair was charred.

When the fire beam finally disappeared, Regina was on the ground, coughing with a pitiful appearance.

[Where is the Heart?]

Regina just glared at him with cold eyes filled with hatred.

The Sun God frowned.

Extending his hand forward, he clenched it. Immediately, a ball of flames appeared around Regina before imploding with her as the center.

The explosion shot Regina hundreds of meters away.

[Tell me, where is the Heart?]

"You will never get it."

[Stubborn mortal.] Enraged, the Sun God created several chains of fire that caught Regina's limbs.

The chains then lifted her in front of him as his flaming eyes stared at Regina coldly.

[Tell me where the Heart is, doll; or I will burn your soul and make you wish that you were never created.]

Regina sneered and closed her eyes.

At the same time, she called upon as much psionic energy as she could and gathered it in her heart.

Even in this despairing situation, she had not given up. She needed to help her master, and nobody, not even a god, was going to stop her.

Seeing that, the Sun God became irritated.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

All of Sudden, the fire chains on Regina's body froze.

Then, a wall of ice appeared in front of her, separating her from the Sun God.

The Sun God's expression changed. Without hesitating, he flew backward, only to see how dozens of mana arrows impaled the place where he was just a moment ago.

At the same time, several figures appeared in the surroundings. A total of six figures.

Every one of them emitted auras comparable to the Sun God.

The Sun God's expression became ugly.

[Night, Ice, Hunt, Duel, Death, Slaughter. Six at the same time, huh. Are you planning to oppose me?]

A wolf-like figure surrounded by snowflakes smirked.

[What? Only you have the right to get the Heart of the Forest?]

[You are as arrogant as always, Sun.] Another figure, a woman with a gloomy atmosphere, chuckled.

[Well, he has always thought that he is the strongest even though he is not.] The third figure spoke, a young man with a playful smirk.

The other three figures chuckled softly before looking at Regina.

[She is the one with the Heart?] Said other of the figures, a bulky man with lion ears.

[It looks like we came in time. Sun has not gotten the location of the Heart yet.]

[It looks like the Heart is not destined to be his this time.]

The two figures beside him, a young man clad in darkness and a demon with a spear behind him, replied.

The Sun God's expression darkened, however, he did not attack them rashly.

After all, the six of them were not inferior to him.

In this world, there were a total of eleven gods.

And now, seven of them were gathered in this place.
