New law of Beast Taming

Yoko's unconscious body was carried through the upper heaven by Krata. The further he walked, the more he felt his consciousness fade away.

The effect of the rift was still inside him, but his consciousness could not keep in touch with his body.

He was retreating to the person he had become once The Law had gained control of his consciousness. And this time, there was no need to fight or be concerned about it. Krata would be free (and dead) once the day was over.

[My dear vessel, you are finally back. Put my new vessel down on the bed and take a step back. You have done an excellent job until now.]

Krata followed these words, and he waited for the impact. The core that had been put inside him would be removed and put into The Law for about a whole minute. Then, it would be transferred over.

The pain of his chest being breached was dull, and Krata slowly felt his feelings wash over his senses. Breathing became tougher once the core was out of his body, and Krata felt his vitality leaking out.

If things continued like this, then Krata would die. But he could not wait to see The Law out that core inside him and then regret it.

As expected, the Law did not wait or show any caution once the core was in his hand. He put it inside his chest and then paused.

Its eyes widened in shock as the sensation of being consumed spread across it's body.

[You! What did you do to my core? It burns! Nothing should be able to harm me…and yet.]

The Law cried out while clutching its chest. Krata was also in pain, so he could not react when the supreme creature grabbed him by the neck and squeezed.

[Are you that eager to die? Then, let me grant your wish. I will have my new vessel one way or the other.]

The Law promised before it squeezed its hands around Krata's neck. The sensation hurt, and it added to the burn Krata was feeling.

But he somehow held on to his senses and looked at the god before him.

'I need to survive. I need to outlive this entity no matter what. I have wanted this since I was the vessel of destruction.'

Krata's eyes showed defiance and disgust. The Law could not keep looking at him, throwing Krata away.

[You foolish creature! Do you think your pathetic assassination attempts are enough to kill me? I will make this power my own and-]

"Leave Amane and this person alone. I refuse to allow you to do what you want anymore."

Kori's voice echoed across the room. Her presence spread around the upper heaven, and everyone looked around to see her.

Only The Law noticed Kori's location, which happened seconds before it was attached.

"Oh my! What is this I am seeing? The supreme guardian of the gods is alone and without protection. It would be a shame if something happened to him, right?"

Kori's voice sounded sweet, but the underlying bitterness could be heard clearly. She was not playing around when she threatened to kill The Law.

[You! And kill me? So even gods can dream. I must adjust the restrictions again to make you all more compliant toward me.]

The Law sounded impatient, and Kori stopped holding back. She attacked The Law with everything she had, and her opponent blocked her.

Kori did not give him any chase to give a command as she attacked more fiercely. The Law dodged the first few attacks before realising what was happening.

But it was already too late. His body was impaled on the sword by the last person he expected.

[You! What do you think you are doing? How dare you betray my trust in you like this? I raised you until this day and made you what you are-]

"I know. At first, I was excited to be serving you. I thought it was a miracle that I could become your vessel. But you never had any interest in me or the other gods. You were obsessed with your perfect vessel."

"So, the day you killed my sister, I vowed that I would finish you with my own hands. It took so long, but it finally happened. The joy I feel is unreal."

Krata confessed as he continued to drive the god-killing sword deeper inside The Law's body. The blade caused all the energies inside that entity to bubble out and pour over.

Amane woke up to see this scene as well. It looked like a dream, and she had to pinch herself before realising this was all real.

[Amane! What are you doing? Help me out. I am The Law. What will happen to the order of things if you kill me now? They will never be the same and-]

"I know. I knew it all before I planned this scenario and recruited other gods into my mess."

Amane confessed as she walked over to the dying entity. There was genuine fear and horror in those eyes. The Law was dying, and its control over the gods was vanishing.

[You all are fools. Can you control gods and their powers once I am gone? Beings with great powers need to be controlled. That was why I was born into this role. Once the rift consumes my strength, you are all doomed.]

The Law confessed, and it sounded sure of what would happen. And unfortunately, what he said was the truth.

Once there were no rules and restrictions to stop the gods, they would follow and practice taboo techniques non-stop and gain influence.

And that was why Kori had been prepared.

"I always hated how gods treated the lives of others as a game. As a goddess, I am no exception and usually fall back into bad habits. That is when I decided that this world does not need gods and these powers anymore."

Kori's confession caused The Law to look at her with interest. This was the first time someone said they did not need gods and godly beings to look over them.

"I will make sure all the gods disappear from this world, and they all live an ordinary life as humans."

The Law looked intrigued but sad at the same time. He did not believe that the gods could be tamed as easily as Kori thought them to be.

[S-So you think it'll be over once there is no god in this world? Y-You will end up ruining this world. People are too reliant on us and-]

"That had been the case a few centuries ago, but the people of today can survive and thrive without a god by their side. They can advance toward a future that they want. We should encourage them and not hinder them."

Amane confessed, and The Law went entirely. By this point, it had consumed most of its power and could no longer open its communication channels.

Still, it decided to speak one last sentence before its body began to disappear.

"You all…would regret this. You killed off your last…line of defense…"

The Law disappeared into dust once he was finished speaking. Not even ashes remained where it had been, and there was no soul in that body.

The rift had consumed the biggest power in this world and then retreated.

"Ahn, it is finally over. Now, I can do what I want to with my power and ensure that there is no longer a god in this world. Amane, I will miss you, but I hope I never see you again."

Kori's confession might have left most people speechless, but Amane realised it was - a goodbye. Kori was saying goodbye to her since she was about to do something stupid.

And Amane had no right to stop her. She had contributed to Kori's obsession with completing her mission, so Amane did not deserve to stop her.

"I understand; in that case, let's not meet again long. I will try to stay put, but you know me. I might get restless and come to meet you soon."

*Cough*

"Are you both done flirting? I am almost dead, and I would prefer if we hurry up with whatever we are about to do."

Krata asked, breaking the mood with his words before he turned toward Kori to help her out.

The upper heaven was beginning to collapse now that no one was here to support the main power frame. And it would not take long before everyone realised what happened.

"I will head out now. If there is anything you need me to do-"

"What can you even do with the current situation? It calls for swift action, and that is what we will do. Amane, you should head out now. Those who need you are waiting for you outside."

It broke Amane's heart to leave Kori alone. That longing gaze was the last she saw of Kori before the upper heaven disappeared into the rift.

Snow began to fall from the sky, and Amane felt snow sipping her divinity out of her body; once it disappeared, she was a simple human with limited abilities.

A similar situation occurred with the other gods, but Amane needed more understanding.

"What are we going to do now? We are no longer gods. Oh! This is humiliating."

"To think we are worse than the humans we condemned until now. What are we all going to do now?"

The gods asked, but they would all figure it out soon. They had to if they wanted to adapt to this world of humans.
