Chapter 388 387. The Last Fallen.
BOOM-!
With a violent shockwave that pushed both forces aside, Frostine, who was in her Frost Dragon form, kicked the Asian dragon to the ground.
Their sizes were metres apart; of course, Frostine was the smaller one. Though she was as small as an infant while compared to the Asian dragon that looked like a 7 foot tall adult, her small body was packed with power comparable to none of the beasts of her race.
While she nimbly dealt with the dragon mid-air, the rest dealt with the things on the ground while being protected by Isha from the dot damages from the skies.
It wasn't long before the Lich King was dealt with; the spoils of war, the Lich King's undead body, his army, and his pet went to Katline, who was only one that could make use of those things completely. Of course, Isha could use them far more efficiently and effectively, but the spoils paled in comparison to what her lowest ranked shadow summon could do.

Now, there was one last god left.
And only a day was left; before the world's end or its new beginning would be known to each and every survivor.
Now, only the most highest ranked God among the Fallen remained.
Lord Shiva.
The native Heroes stood in front of the dome with serious expressions, since they were told that they would die the moment Lord Shiva moved by the being who was as strong or stronger than the said God.
The Heroes were being sent off into the dome by survivors gathered from every part of the world.
And amidst of the crowd was the fanatic who had somehow survived against all odds. This fanatic was none other than the only noble alive, Godred.
CRA-CRACK-!!
The space next to the black-haired and obsidian black eyed woman cracked, making the crowd shudder and take a step back in horror of facing the unknown. When the space had cracked enough to let in/out a human, a beast, or a monster, the black-haired woman smiled lovingly and jumped into the crack as a bone-chilling aura of dread enveloped the area, freezing many on spot, before an handsome white-haired man whose lips were locked by the black-haired woman walked out of the crack.
The charming man walked out of the crack with his hands gently placed on the woman's waist while the latter had her legs and arms wrapped around him.
Seconds later, the woman broke the kiss reluctantly and landed back on the ground; standing taller than the man.
"..... Why are you here?" Louie asked after they stopped being intimate.
"Because we're going to meet him!" Eshwar casually answered and began to walk towards the dome holding Isha's hands.
The rest quickly followed behind him before he waved his hands and made the crowd walk away from them in daze, as he halted in his steps, right before entering the dome and turned around to face the team of 11 that excluded Isha, who stood next to him.
"I'll warn you guys on what to except inside." Eshwar stated and continued before they spoke up.
"First: if he moves, you die. Second: if he opens his eyes, you die. Third: if he speaks without controlling himself, you die. Fourth: if he is meditating by the time we enter, bad timing, you die. Fifth: if you do anything unwanted, you die." Eshwar warned with a calm near-expressionless expression.
"Do you understand?" He then asked after completing the list of warnings.
"Then, do nothing?" Frostine asked.
"No, then you die."
"....."
"....."
".... Then, what do want us to do? Do nothing and stay here?"
"Hmm.... That would be your best option actually." Eshwar said with a thoughtful expression.
"Ow! What was that for?" He asked Isha, who pinched his bicep.
"Shut up. Let's go. He will do something, that's what he is here for in the first place." Isha said and dragged him into the dome.
"....."
After a few seconds of dumbfounding silence, they walked in, prepared to die.
WHOOOOIIINM-!
With the strange sound that resounded in their minds, their feet registered a touch and they opened their eyes.
HISSSSS-!
Only to see a humongous black-snake's wide open mouth lunged at them to devour them. And before a second passed, their consciousness which was devoured by the snake became blurry while they felt as if experiencing death.
Before they actually believed that feeling thanks to Eshwar's warnings and deliberately relinquished their lives, a familiar feeling they felt whenever they were forced into another's domain enveloped them and their blurry consciousness regained clarity.
They soon felt a strange kind of pressure enveloping them from all sides and opened their eyes, only to find themselves standing mid-space, in front of an unfathomable existence, who sat on nothingness while his entire being was enveloped in cosmos.
They all felt their existences being suppressed while their bodies trembled as they stood at the very depths of the abyss with no way out.
"Haaa.... They'll die before even knowing what's going if you are like this...." Eshwar's emotionless voice sounded with a sigh before everything around them turned cold, as if the eternal winter had abruptly enveloped them.
Since the extremely suppressive aura disappeared, not completely but enough to let them stay awake, they raised their involuntarily lowered heads and gazed ahead of them.
There sat a Yogi with his legs crossed. He was sitting on a bed-like, eternal and crystallized block of ice on the peak of a snow covered mountain that had its surroundings dyed in white due to the chilly atmosphere of the domain. The man had dark blue skin complexion, while his upper body was naked with "rudraksha mala" and a snake, which was similar but smaller to the one that devoured them, adorned around his neck.
Similar "rudraksha mala"s were seen adorning his biceps, wrists, and ankles, while the lower-half of his body was adorned by the hard skin of a tiger that oozed an incomprehensible aura as another of the kind was blanketing the ice block.
The man had a his long hair coiled over his head, seemingly trapping something in them, while a crescent moon adorned his hair as if it was merely an ornament, but the light it gave off said otherwise.
He had a vertically socketed and closed eye on his forehead while his throat was seemingly dyed in blue. Next to him hovered a glimmering golden Trishul while on the other side Nandhi seemed to be resting.
The being in front of them was none other than,
Lord Shiva.
