The Archangel of Death - Chapter 219

219: Collision 219: Collision Chapter 219 There is no other power in this entire universe, or in the entire creation that was as different as life and death.

The very definition of polar opposites.

However, it is like a lovely tale.

Two people who can’t get along, can’t afford to be put in the same room, cannot be treated the same, and ironically, cannot be without each other as well.

It reminds me of those cultural films I used to watch when I hit puberty.

And yes, I was talking about anime in which a girl pushed the guy away because he was too straightforward and told him she hated him and all that, and the next day when she realized how harsh she had been, she would look for him.

She would see him coming from an end, towards the school gate just like her.

He would raise his hand and say “Hi,” and she would happily do the same or at least would have until he just passed her and was focused on a buddy of his.

Her heart crushed, she lost him.

Such a tale and yet so funny at the same time.

If you can’t live without him, then don’t be a bit*h.

No pun intended.

Now, the life and death worked the same way.

Death was an arrogant guy who thought no one could escape him with how charming he was and life thought that no one could live without her, literally.

The cycle of life and death.

They were both required to keep that cycle but they never got along since the beginning of creation.

Yet, they cannot work without each other as well.

And as I said, one’s arrogant while one’s a bit*h.

Point out that they were both made for each other and they explode, denying in anger.

That anger would create a vacuum that was beyond the vacuum of space but a vacuum where particles existed.

The sun can be an example.

Spontaneous combustion.

That was what resulted in the forced courting of life and death.

Try to bring them together, and they deny like Tsunderes and what happened in the wake of that denial was destruction.

Pure, unbridled destruction.

In my case, I have to constantly keep my mind focused on not letting them collide with each other.

Life and death would never reach harmony, ever, so I would have to keep them apart.

That was why my body never exploded.

Anyone else does that without possessing my mind, they would be taking a good chunk of the universe along with them and that was only if they were lucky.

I was lucky.

Why?

Because I had this sweet and lovely lady who could control the element of death without me focusing on it.

[Flattery will get you nowhere] [Just get it over with] I raised my hands and brought a tenth of a strand from both life and death onto both of my palms.

The magnetized force increased as the space scurried away, creating a vacuum.

It wasn’t a chain reaction, the space around me was scared.

Refusing to be in the presence of both of these supreme powers.

That was also why I had never brought them out before.

The reason was simple, everything in this world, from all of the universal laws to the primordial powers of life, time, nature, and death, all of them were downsized.

Not original in one sense, downplayed powers of all.

No matter what, they would be afraid of me, and in doing so, they would let their original bodies know.

Unlike my father, who had a will, every other power acted on a series of strict laws.

They wouldn’t be so lax like my Dad.

But Allison was there to mask them up with her original power of death that was billions of times more terrifying than tiny strands of death in my body.

A hollow ball of rolling cactus, one would often see in deserted areas.

That was what the two balls of death looked like in my palm.

One was shining bright while one was hollowly beautiful but scary to look at.

Everything stopped.

If the device from earlier could neutralize the powers of this world, then these powers in my hands could scare them away.

The mana in existence would be scared and refuse to come out and that was why the newly created Meteor disappeared as well.

Everyone was scared of me.

And so were their powers.

Now the question was, how long would this intent of a higher being, a guardian-ranked existence survive under that pressure?

The collision of life and death wouldn’t be so massive because I was sure to only take 0.0001 percent of one strand but even that was enough to leave mana in disarray.

Also, even this was difficult for me to control and I couldn’t even imagine doubling the dosage.

After all, they were now out of my body, out of my mental power’s jurisdiction.

Now they were free and whether I could control them or not would decide whether I would survive this situation or not.

Hence the reason why I took so low of the strand’s power but even that much was just too much.

[Don’t let them both go at the same time] [One would be the accelerant while one would decelerate] ‘Like I don’t know that,’ I replied.

I will throw the life away first, causing it to pull death along with itself.

In doing so, death would also pull life to itself, lowering the speed of life while death would speed up to life.

My goal was to strike at a precise point that wouldn’t let too much energy escape and the person or the being supplying power to this barrier would take some damage.

Even I thought that this was borrowed power but if it was, it wouldn’t have remained so lustrous even after so many bombardments from Meteor and the exposure to the elements of life and death.

The reason was simple; someone was actively supplying power to it.

Whoever was supplying power to this barrier was an enemy, a powerful one.

And who was I to pass up the chance to inflict a serious injury on such a powerful existence?

Especially when there was a chance I would have to face it in the future.

One thing I knew for sure though.

It didn’t belong to the United Races.

Whoever, it was, was human.

On the side of humanity, or on the side of the church, and was an ally of the United races, but just that, an ally.

Hurting this being wouldn’t hurt the United Races.

So here I go.

I shot the orb of life and the orb of death in my hand was about to leave my hand, with how hard it jerked, it was about to take me along.

I had to use 100 points of soul power to just resist that pull.

[Now] I let go of the death orb and it went on to collide with the power of life.

I flew down.

And by down I meant down.

I landed on the ground and crouched, curled like a turtle, both hands around my neck.

I didn’t know why, but the people of the church followed and they also curled up on the ground like me, protecting themselves.

It would have been a prime chance to order an attack on me but John was nowhere to be seen.

I guessed he also ended up using whatever Celandine had used to escape.

Without a chain of command, there was a chance a bloody massacre would happen here.

But that was for later.

They were close.

There was a more pressing issue at the moment.

Boom!!!

And what I expected happened.

A singularity.

It began to pull me in but the force on me was almost negligible.

Probably because I could resist it but I couldn’t say the same for the poor bastards who were being pulled by the suction power of the miniature black hole.

The good news was that it was temporary.

Unlike a real black hole that was scientifically endless, this one would disappear after the combustion process inside the small vacuum created by the collision of life and death would end.

But until then, it would such anything and anyone inside and crush them to millions of atoms, making sure the gone remained gone.

“Well,” I said.

[You seriously want to save them?] “You’re not very well-versed in political views, are you?” I asked.

Of course, she was.

Given how smart she was, with her predicting each of my moves, she was smart.

And I was somewhat hesitant to say this but she possessed a mind as good as mine.

[Flattery will get you nowhere] “But the system’s power…” I began to state my issue when Allison interrupted me.

[I will take care of it] [Just do it] I raised my hand and began to feel the power inside the system.

I couldn’t control it because it belonged to the system and I could only use it to use skills but thanks to Allison’s permission, I now could.

So now I had a massive amount of power in my hands, comparing that of an SSS rank.

[Celestial guard] A round shield began to appear around everyone who was being sucked into the singularity and I pulled them back, though it gave me a hell of a migraine.

My mind was beginning to lose consciousness but there wasn’t much time left on the singularity.

I just needed to hold on for a few seconds.

Just as the singularity ended, so did my power to hold on and everyone fell to the ground, but I was sure they wouldn’t be stupid enough to not protect themselves with their mana.

The thing wasn’t that.

I knew they wouldn’t be able to hurt me even if I passed out because I could feel Bayern approaching me at full speed.

No.

It was that roar.

The roar of anger erupted and spread into all surroundings.

A roar that shook my entire being but the only reaction I had to that was, “Hah!

Sucker.” And that was my last thought before I lost it.

I guess I wasn’t prepared for the pure power of the system.
