Marvel's master of cosmic magic-Chapter 795
George returned to his Backlund residence carrying the core authority of the Fool, a fragment of upper-tier essence, and multiple high-grade remnants.
He was in an excellent mood.
The Goddess of Darkness had just revealed something quietly astonishing.
The so-called Earth Mother was not who the world believed her to be.
She was Lilith.
The primordial progenitor of the vampire race.
Long ago, after the true Earth Mother fell, the Goddess of Darkness used her authority over concealment to help Lilith assume that identity.
Which meant the War God had been living under a dangerous misunderstanding.
He believed the Earth Mother was his ally.
In reality, she was the Goddess of Darkness’s closest confidant.
When divine war erupted, the battlefield would not be two versus four.
It would be three versus three.
Goddess of Darkness.
Storm Lord.
Earth Mother (Lilith).
Against:
War God. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
God of Steam and Machinery.
Eternal Blazing Sun.
And that was before accounting for George’s involvement... and Rosselle’s eventual return.
The odds were quietly tilting.
"First things first," George muttered. "I advance."
The next step required a public kill.
A demigod.
Not a problem.
The question was simply: who?
Cult factions were currently lying low.
The royal family had "temporarily" severed ties with the worst of them.
Which meant suitable targets were scarce.
George smiled.
"Then I’ll take one from the royal family itself."
A public execution.
High profile.
Impossible to suppress.
Perfect.
One name surfaced immediately.
Selt.
A military demigod under the crown.
A man deeply involved in human trafficking before the scandal broke.
The royal family had quietly placed him under house arrest.
No trial.
No real punishment.
Just waiting for George III’s ascension.
"That’ll do."
George located Jason, his marionette, and appeared above Selt’s estate with him in tow.
Below, lights blazed.
Music echoed.
A grand ball was underway.
"Even better," George said lightly. "More witnesses."
He formed a strange-looking sword in his hands and passed it to Jason.
A weapon designed to tear reality itself.
Jason alone could fight a demigod.
But killing one quickly, in public?
That required something extra.
Backlund’s Queen’s District.
Selt stood in the center of the ballroom, glass in hand, speaking with several nobles.
His expression suddenly tightened.
"Suppress fire element."
A massive spear of flame punched through the roof—
And rapidly weakened.
By the time it reached Selt, it was no thicker than a finger.
He shattered it casually.
"Who dares attack me?"
Selt rose into the air, radiating authority.
He immediately locked onto Jason.
"Desire Apostle... you’re the one who assassinated Duke Nigen."
Confusion flickered across his face.
That assassin was supposed to be aligned with his side.
Why target him?
Jason answered with silence.
And a blade swing.
Their clash detonated above the estate.
Shockwaves rippled through the district.
Selt’s expression darkened.
Despite Jason’s apparent rank, the marionette matched him blow for blow.
Then began to overpower him.
Reinforcements arrived.
Church operatives.
Demigods.
They halted at a distance, observing.
Exactly what George wanted.
"Good," George murmured. "Enough witnesses."
Through Jason’s vision, George gave a single order.
Jason reached behind his back.
And drew the world-rending sword.
