Chapter 1: 01: Death
---
Nunet, ’pronounced Noo-net,’ was the goddess of the primordial chaotic dark waters that existed before the universe was created. She was born from pure ancient chaos, before light, land, sky, stars, and life had any shape. She was one of the oldest gods in Null, and even among millions of gods, her name was feared.
"Huff. Huff."
The Blood God Lucard was out of breath. His chaos energy was almost empty. That was something many gods would never believe because Lucard was the Father of Blood. He fought using blood. He ruled over blood. As long as blood existed, he could fight, heal, kill, and rise again. But today, he was fighting the dark water goddess Nunet, and she was not alone.
Null was the world of gods. It existed above the multiverse, and under it were countless universes. Each universe looked like a tiny marble from Null, so one could imagine how large Null truly was. The gods had lived there since time was created. Some were born from chaos, some from laws, and some came out of nothing. They always fought for power and supremacy, but today’s battle was different.
Today, an Abyss class artifact had dropped from the sky.
It was a system class artifact, and the gods needed it to go to the Abyss. Without it, no god could enter the Abyss Tower, complete the trial, and reach the world of the Abyss. No god knew what was inside the Abyss, but every god wanted to know. Some believed there was power beyond gods inside it. Some believed there was a throne higher than Null. Because of that, all of them wanted the artifact.
Lucard had taken the artifact first.
That was why they attacked him.
Lucard was one of the top five strongest gods in Null. Nunet was also in the top five. If they fought one against one, their battle could have lasted for billions of years without either of them running out of chaos energy. Their powers were too equal. But today, Lucard was not fighting only Nunet. He was fighting ten gods at once.
One of them had already died.
The Fire God was the first to fall.
Lucard had used his ultimate skill, Crimson Particle Rupture. This blood skill did not simply cut flesh or burn the body. It destroyed the divine particles that formed a god’s chaos body. If a god was trapped inside it, death was almost certain. But the cost was also very high. It used fifty percent of Lucard’s full chaos energy.
A huge ball of blood formed in front of him. Around the blood ball, a thunder like shock wave spread in every direction. Whatever it touched was destroyed. The divine land around the blood ball became nothing the moment the skill was activated.

The Fire God tried to defend with divine flames, but it was useless. His entire body was trapped inside the blood ball. His chaos body started to dissolve. His body particles began to vanish one after another. Within ten seconds, his entire body disappeared.
The Fire God died.
The moment the Fire God was dying, the other eight gods and Nunet attacked Lucard together. They did not give him time to recover. The Earth God created a meteoroid the size of a universe. The Air Goddess created a cosmic level twister. The Sword God released a sword slash that could cut a universe in half. The Thunder God covered the sky with black lightning. The Bone Goddess summoned giant bone hands. The Plague Mother released a green mist that could rot immortal flesh. The Spear Lord sent millions of golden spears forward, and the Moon Devourer released cold silver light.
The last and strongest attack came from Nunet.
She raised one hand, and black water rose behind her. It was larger than any universe below Null. It was not normal water. It was the dark water from before creation. It moved like an endless ocean and swallowed the other eight attacks inside it. The meteoroid, the twister, the sword slash, the lightning, the bone hands, the plague mist, the golden spears, and the silver light were all covered by Nunet’s dark water.
The attack came toward Lucard.
If it landed on him, he would definitely die.
Lucard had only one attack worth of chaos energy left. If he used Crimson Particle Rupture again, he could block the attack, but after that, his fighting ability would be gone. He had to defend and attack at the same time. But his remaining chaos energy was not enough to create something that large.
He had only one choice.
If he gave up his divinity and immortal powers, he could create a blood ball strong enough to kill everyone. Without divinity, he would lose his god status. Without immortal power, he would not be able to recover like before. But if he did nothing, Nunet would kill him and take the artifact.

Then he smiled with blood on his lips.
"Fuck it. I will do it."
He put all his remaining chaos energy, his divinity, and his immortal powers into his last ultimate attack. His body cracked as the power left him. Blood came out from his skin, mouth, eyes, and wounds. All that blood gathered in front of him and formed another blood ball.
This blood ball was bigger than the enemy attack. Now it was blood against dark water.
Nobody knew who would win. Many gods were watching the fight from far away. Some wanted Lucard to die. Some wanted Nunet to die. Some wanted both of them to die so they could take the artifact later. Gods were greedy creatures. Even when watching a battle that could destroy them, their eyes still looked at the treasure.
The blood ball and dark water collided.
A huge shock wave spread across Null. The entire divine land trembled. Many watching gods were sent flying by the force. Some crashed into the ground. Some rolled away like stones. A few weaker gods directly ran away because watching was fun only when death was not coming for them too.
