Chapter 402 - 339: Bomb
Merry Christmas. It’s been a hectic depressing year, but I hope everything was good for you all. Thank you for being patient with me for updates. So many times I wanted to give up writing, but knowing that someone out there is always keeping up with my work made me extremely happy thank you. Just know that your comments and love has been my motivation

"What the hell is that thing?" 9000 wondered, staring at the floating head in the sky in confusion. However, she decided to ignore it and began pulling on her chains, causing cracks to spread across the atmosphere around her.
She continued till a final shattering sounds was heard and she had finally broken the chains.
9000 made a crushing motion with her hands, her gaze locking onto the evil smile on Ragna’s face. In the next moment, Ragna’s body twisted violently, crushed into mush.
"I see why you are so confident, your immortality is stronger, because any normal immortal person would have died," 9000 blurted out, her face twisted in displeasure as she stared at Ragna.
Ragna suddenly appeared beside her dead body, perfectly fine, as the remains turned to dust.
"Well, you’re such a pathetic idiot," Ragna mocked with an amused smile.
9000 felt her stomach drop as the eyes on that floating face staring at her seemed even more terrifying than before.
All of a sudden, she was pierced through the gut by a massively long toothpick like spear. The weapon extended outward, connecting back toward the face of the colossal being looming above them.
"Anyone who breaks the Word of Law must die," it declared coldly, opening its mouth wide to devour her.
"No, no, my magic! It’s not working!" 9000 screamed in panic. "1, help me, do something! My magic and physical strength aren’t working!! Ahhh!"
"Shit!" she cursed, snapping her fingers.
All the magic circles she had directed across the continent instantly shifted, redirecting their attack toward the being. Blasts after blasts of magic slammed into it, lighting up the sky with numerous explosions, however, they barely did anything.
"Spear of...!"
Before she could finish, she was devoured whole.
The being chewed heavily. Suddenly, cracks began to form along its skin before a massive pillar of white light erupted into the sky. Most people would think it was just a normal spell, but to every single existing alternate Aurianna, it was obvious what it meant.
One of them had died.
Every Aurianna witnessing it scowled.
"Score 1!" Ragna cheered happily, clapping her hands.
"You actually managed to kill one, oh my gosh, Master can actually be saved!" Penma exclaimed, barely containing her excitement.
"I’m not done yet," Ragna said, lifting her gaze to the being in the sky. "Now then, last variant to add. Every Aurianna from the 30 Goddess Alliance shall be trapped in the World Prism."
"World Prism," the being echoed as it reappeared where it once floated, two massive hands coming together. A blinding light flashed, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. When it faded, the Auriannas across every continent had vanished, even those in the realm of the gods.
"Hey, Word of Law, can you restore the planet?" Ragna asked.
"Wait, what has happened to the Dieron?" Alfred finally got the courage to ask.
"Well," Penma decided to explained, "it seems the worlds where people of this world would claim that heroes come from, four of them, have been merging with our world this whole time. Which has caused the deaths of thousands. We haven’t noticed it yet on this continent because it hasn’t reached it yet. But basically it’s the forceful merging of five worlds."
"Master... and you three noticed it earlier, didn’t you?" Penma added, turning toward Jade, Avriel, and Jugi.
"Well, it’ll probably be a few minutes before this area is affected too," Ragna said calmly. "So, Word of Law, can you fix this?"
"Can it even hear you from here?" Hadina asked calmly.
"Yes, it can," Ragna replied confidently.
"No. I cannot fix the merging of five worlds," it responded loudly.
"Hm. Alright then," Ragna said after a pause. "Make it so that if the worlds merge, it’s like fixing a new puzzle, so they don’t destroy the landscape like some unfortunate continents."
"That I can do," it answered before it clasped its hands together once again, releasing another blinding light. When it faded, the being disappeared.
When the others opened their eyes, they saw new lands floating in the sky.
"Now then, I guess we can rest easy now, ahahah," Ragna laughed happily.
A heavy thump suddenly shook the ground.
Before her stood another Aurianna, but this one was different. Unlike the unique white hair they all shared, she had white and red hair and stood nearly ten feet tall.
"Hii," she greeted cheerfully, waving her hand.
"How is that possible?" Ragna wondered, staring at her in disbelief. Most of the Aurianna’s were supposed to be trapped in the world prismso how did she escape??
"Honestly, this is my first time seeing such a skill, and I’m guessing it’s from you, right?" the woman asked, studying her closely.
"Your panicked expression is so cute," she chuckled, her white eyes narrowing.
"Oh yes, let me introduce myself. I’m Aurianna, but call me Bomb. Rank 2 in the 30 Goddess Alliance... or maybe I should say 29 Goddess Alliance, since one is dead," Bomb added casually.
She was a snow skinned tall woman wearing dark red traditional native clothing, with red markings etched across her skin.
"Master Bomb, that’s the boy you were looking for!" blurted out a crystal-white cat sitting on her shoulder, pointing toward Peter.
"Oh yes, that’s him. I didn’t think I’d find him so fast," Bomb chuckled as she teleported in front of him.
"Omg, you’re so short," she giggled, patting his head, while everyone else stood still, too stunned to move.
"Saintess Vanuer!" cried out one of the students upon noticing her arrival.
Vanuer wore a cautious expression as she stared at Bomb.
"What are you guys doing here?" Vanuer asked, noticing Alfred, Draek, and Luera.
’Was it a Ruin trip?’ she wondered nervously.
"My, my. It seems the strongest are gathering here since they felt my presence," Bomb remarked with a sadistic smile as she straightened. "But honestly, I doubt you mortals, and your gods, stand a chance against me."
The people she addressed weren’t among the group of 150, but rather watching from afar.
"You’re all wondering where your gods are, right?" Bomb asked, tilting her head.
"They’re right here," she continued, summoning a floating crystal ball into her hand.
"Annoy me, and I’ll crush it, and kill them," Bomb threatened coldly.
"Now then, your name is Ragna, right?" Bomb asked, staring directly at her.
Ragna neither confirmed nor denied it, confirming her suspicions. Bomb then flicked her finger, immediately destroying Ragna’s body into dust.
"Tch, to think you’re dumb enough to attack me despite declaring Word of Law," Ragna chuckled as she revived once more.
She waited for the Word of Law to attack Bomb, but nothing happened.
Confusion flickered across her face.
"Oh yeah, I should tell you," Bomb said with a smirk. "I can bypass basically anything. Magic restrictions, rules binding the soul, they don’t affect me."
She glanced briefly at the sky.
"What’s more, that thing seems smarter than you."
