Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan was now all alone by himself, with nothing but the Remedium by his side.

Anyone would have trouble with blowing themselves up. After all, it was in a human's self-preservation instincts to always protect oneself. Even if they were told that they should do it because it was the right thing, they would still have trouble letting go of that last protection they had of themselves.

It was like telling someone to hold their breaths for a long time until they passed out into unconsciousness. Even if they tried their hardest, anyone would heave for a breath as soon as things got too tough. They wouldn't be able to make themselves unconscious.

But there was one person who could do that. That was Atlan. This was the reason why he was able to impress the God of Death in the first place and inherited all his powers. If he didn't have that decisiveness to do the things that needed to be done, then he wouldn't have jumped into the God of Death's maws.

Atlan felt the powers in his body start to become more and more wild. All the LifeSkills that he gained normally like the Spinster, the Apocalyptic Hellfire, and the others were on his side. They were helping make things a lot more peaceful.

However, the influx of all the powers he gained from the Specialist-level Canzers were far too much. They ravaged through his Soul System, destroying everything that made it what it was.

They were rampaging, as if they wanted to be unleashed out into the world.

It would have been easy if there were only tens of them. Atlan could simply bring out the LifeSkill one by one and let them show their power to the world. However, there were more than a hundred thousand new LifeSkills in his repertoire.

They were like newborn chicks wanting to be fed. And in their chaos and desperation, they started to eat through the very hen house they stood on. That was what was happening to Atlan right now.

Atlan looked at all around him. Even though it was in an inverted color, it was still the Genesis City that he was so familiar with.

If he failed to counteract the explosion, then the whole City would be blown up into bits.

He needed to do this.

Slowly, the pained expression on Atlan's face became clearer and clearer. There was now peace and serenity on his face, as if he had accepted his fate.

Meanwhile in the Church, in the deepest part of its basement, the Raven had finally come across the giant door in the wall.

And in front of that door was a single Ifirt, whose attitude was starting to get weary.

Just then, the Raven appeared in its sights.

The Ifrit, upon seeing the Raven, thought that it was finally rescued. The very reason why it stayed inside the basement was because it eventually wanted to leave this place. It took the Door hostage because it wanted the humans to give it a way to be able to leave this Remedium and come back to its home.

And now, its luck seemed to have finally turned around. A Canzer was here to save it.

But strangely enough, there wasn't any sort of friendliness in the Raven's eyes. There was sadness, grief, and whole lot of craziness.

The Raven was ready to die to fulfill the last mission given to it by its Queen. This was the whole reason why the Queen prevented the Raven from fighting in the battle against the humans. It wanted to remain in the shadows, and only act once things had gone down hill. She wanted him to exact revenge in the best possible way.

And so it did.

It spread its wings and put forward its beak. And with a strength and speed of a Specialist-level Canzer, it dove down towards the unsuspecting Ifrit who couldn't even see the Raven's movements.

TSSHHH

In just a matter of a fraction of a second, the Ifrit suddenly had a hole in its body. It looked down, unable to understand what had happened.

And before it could even try to look for the Raven that was suddenly gone from its sight, it felt its body losing control. All the power and energy stored up in the Ifrit's body started to multiply and expand until…

BOOM!

The explosion of the Ifrit was far weaker than any explosion that happened during Atlan and the Queen's fight. It could even be compared as the difference between a small matchstick ember and a full on forest fire that consumed everything in its path.

Atlan wouldn't even get hurt from that explosion.

However, the problem wasn't the intensity of the explosion, but the location.

Behind the Ifrit was the Door, the literal heart of the Genesis God.

As soon as the fire of the explosion hit the surface of the giant Wooden door, another explosion occured. This time, the explosion wasn't made out of fire, but pure Holy aura and energy that only beings like Gods and Angels could ever emit.

The white explosion disintegrated the exploding Ifrit and the Raven into mere nothingness in an instant. There was nothing left of them.

Then, the explosion continued to spread, destroying the very foundation of the church itself. All the pillars and floors above were consumed into an explosion that continued to fuel the holy explosion.

And as it continued to spread outwards, the explosion would continue to grow and grow exponentially, potentially growing to destroy the very City itself and beyond.

The unsuspecting Ninth and the other Specialist Saviors were above the Church. They were frozen in time, unaware of the danger that was hiding just a few feet below them.

Tulip, with her cute plush dragon form, was hovering above them and trying to warn them of something.

But seeing as they weren't understanding what she was saying, Tulip was forced to simply use up all her energy to create a bubble of protection around them.

A green translucent energy shield encompassed Ninth and the other humans.

Just a fraction of a second later, the explosion finally reached the first floor. It continued to tear through the pews and pillars until it reached the bubble.
