Chapter 44: Chapter 43 – The Gods’ Forbidden Ritual
The celestial palace trembled as the gods gathered in the Grand Hall of Creation. This was a place that had not been used in millennia, a sacred chamber where the laws of existence themselves were woven.
And now, they were about to break them.
The Supreme God stood at the center, his once-golden aura flickering with uncertainty. Around him, dozens of deities—gods of war, wisdom, fate, destruction—stood in a solemn circle.
This was it.
A ritual forbidden since the beginning of time.
A ritual to erase a being from existence.
"Are we truly doing this?" The God of Wisdom hesitated, his ancient eyes clouded with doubt.
The Goddess of Fate took a deep breath. "We have no choice. If we let him be, the balance of existence will crumble."
The Supreme God clenched his fists. They had never feared anyone before. Not the demons, not the mortals, not even rogue gods who had defied the heavens.
But Frank Luminous?
Frank was different.
He did not seek power. He did not challenge them. He did not even acknowledge them. Yet, he was stronger than all of them combined.
And the most terrifying part?
He didn't even care.
The Supreme God raised his hand, divine symbols appearing in the air.
"Let the ritual begin."

Mortal Realm – Frank's Estate
Frank casually took another bite of his snack. The air shifted.
The wind stopped. The sky dimmed. The world itself seemed to pause.
He sighed. "They actually did it, huh?"
The book in his hands disintegrated as a colossal force descended upon him.
It wasn't an attack. It wasn't divine lightning or a sword strike.
It was absolute erasure.
The combined power of every god, condensed into a singular force meant to wipe him from existence itself.
Frank blinked.
Then he yawned.
With a casual wave of his hand, the colossal force—something that could have ended worlds, erased civilizations—vanished.
Just like that.
Gone.
Frank stretched, shaking his head. "Seriously? This is what they came up with?"
He stood up, brushing off the nonexistent dust from his clothes.
Then, with a small chuckle, he looked up toward the celestial realm.
"Alright. I guess it's my turn now."
