And way sooner than I had expected, the battle was over both in here and outside, the Wyverns and the Monkeys had fought amazingly and defeated the Gods in a flash, I didn't even have to bother I guess!

Vretrion was such a pushover it made me feel disappointed how pathetic he truly was, or are we just so strong that such an overhyped guy ends up as a mob against us? Well, the easier the fights the better, no need to overcomplicate a mid-boss like that guy. He wasn't even final boss material if he was screaming for his mother when he was about to die…

After he was defeated Brontes began to cry, but not because he pitied him out of nowhere, she was crying out of happiness due to having finally avenged her people, and well, she cried a bit more after the sorrow she felt by remembering them…

She had a harsh first life, so I will make sure to make her the happiest she can be in this second one.

After hugging her, kissing her, and telling her that things were finally done, we moved to our next course of action.

She picked up the fragments of Vretrion and gifted them to me because she said she wasn't willing to eat such a disgusting guy.

"Please, it is the least I could give to you after all you've helped me, Kireina," she said, as I happily picked this bastard's soul fragments, which also came with the bonus little Pride Sin who was floating around trying to escape but he was trapped by the spatial formation, haha!

I extended a tentacle and caught it by shapeshifting it as a jaw, munching it in that very instant, and absorbing it. As the Goddess of Sins, it is as easy as breathing to tame a Sin! And this little guy was no exception to the rules.

Ding!

[You acquired the [Sin of Pride]!]

[The [Sin of Pride] has been integrated to the already existing [Sin of Pride], forming the [Chaotic Sin of Superbia]!]

And like that, my Pride Sin awakened into the new and stronger Sins, so yeah… Well, I still gotta make them into suitable Path Jewels to use them properly.

I should make a "Monarch of" Path Jewel for every Sin, and then fuse the path jewels into one… That might be quite costly, but the power of this path jewel would be rather insane.

And no, I can't use them all together, their power is so intense it is literally impossible!

As I caught that annoying fly, I thanked my precious Brontes with a little kiss.

"Thanks for the gift my dear," I said.

"It's nothing. Well, now that we are done here, I kind of want to go slack off for a while… I need my Vudia with me too, a little bit of snuggles with that girl is all I need now… and with you too," she said with a gentle smile.

"Sure thing!" I said, as Brontes noticed the God thrown into the ground, it was Khustia, the Demon God of Abyssal Blight, which had passed out after seeing Brontes' ridiculous strength as she completely ridiculed Vretrion.

"He's the major benefactor of Vretrion and the one behind him becoming what he was, he also incentivized the war of the cyclops by encroaching Vretrion's mind since he was young, and even modified him to become an Abyss Cyclops, to begin with, all so he could win that stupid Epic Event the Gods do sometimes…" I sighed.

"Oh…" said Brontes, furrowing her eyebrow as she glanced at the pathetic and wimpy god laying over the floor like a ragdoll.

"So? What do I do? Do you want to kill him? Eat him? Or do we let him live?" I asked. I wanted to know what Brontes wanted of this guy, seeing how he was the literal cause of everything.

"Just eat him, I don't care who he is anyways. But if it can improve your strength, it is better to be ruthless and eat him. He doesn't deserve a second chance anyway," sighed Brontes while shrugging.

"Oh, nice! Then, bon appetite!" I said, as I expanded my jaws and quickly caught the God with them.

My razor-sharp teeth easily grind his flesh as he woke up midway through the agony of being eaten alive. Hah, what a retard.

Why are you waking up so late? You should have kept sleeping and died peacefully, now you're going to get all stiff and all the flavors will go away!

"NNNNGRRRYAAAAGGH! IT HURTS! I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEEEEE!"

Yeah, yeah, typical phrase of the Gods, they don't want to die. I mean yeah, no one of us wants to die, duh.

But that's how it is, you're food now, buddy.

CRUNCH!

With another bite, I completely crush his body into a pulp and eat it, his soul is also shattered into tiny bits and eaten as well… Damn I am so merciless I scare myself.

And done! That was not the best God I've eaten, to be honest, and he was rather bitter at the end, so I will rate him at 3/10, it could have been worse like that living fart of Geggoron.

Now that we were done with this place, all the spatial formations broke apart, revealing the group of happy wyverns and monkeys rushing towards me.

"Master, thanks for you letting us fight these Gods, they were truly quite insightful into our own abilities… Albeit quite too weak. Or perhaps we are too strong? Haha… Nonetheless, we bring you our offerings," said the Abellona, bringing me a pile of divinity fragments and corpses.

"Oh~! Thanks, dearie!" I said, while petting the cute giant wyvern, he seemed to be happy when I pet him. Wyverns are cute.

"And sure thing, you guys are plenty strong… But maybe in the battle to come, you will get to have a bit of challenge, so don't slack off!" I said as the wyverns nodded in understanding.

Afterward, the monkeys and the spirits flew towards me, with Kizuato and Meiji bringing the big loot to my very hands.

"Here it is, Master, the corpses are all torn apart… but I don't think you'll mind," said Kizuato while laughing.

"There are a lot of Divine Beast corpses too, two of the Gods there were quite Good Tamers," said Meiji.

"Alright then, splendid work you guys, now come back home," I said, as I opened a portal into my Divine Realm and everyone happily got inside, they wanted to go back to their homes most likely.

"I am going in too-" said Brontes, as I interrupted her.

"W-Wait! Not yet, you have to guide the cyclops first," I said.

"G-Guide? Me? Why? I am clearly not an Abyss Cyclops…" said Brontes.

"Aw, come on, it doesn't matter at all if you aren't one. You killed Vretrion and everyone saw you, and the System already rewarded you with the Title of Queen of the Abyss Cyclops… And you're also bigger than all of them, they'll obey you even if they don't want to," I said.

"O-Oh… Well, I guess I can try it, but don't get your hopes up, I suck at this type of stuff," sighed Brontes as she was rather nervous, as we flew back to the city, where none of the Abyss Cyclops ran away, but were watching with surprise, awe, and horror at the blood-soaked Brontes who had just slaughtered the one they thought to be the strongest in the world like nothing.

"Should I tell them about me being from the older race?" wondered Brontes.

"That sounds nice. I can already see that even if these people are his descendants, that you don't really care about them nor would you blame them for what their ancestor did, right?" I asked.

"Of course I won't, these people are innocent… And as the last Cyclops, it would be nice if they could keep surviving too," said Brontes, as she was filled with a bit more resolve, as she walked near the giants, who resembled dwarves before her over 100 meters tall body.

Brontes swallowed saliva as she rested her hands over the handle of Vretrion's Golden Axe, which she took as a prize.

"Everyone, as you can see, your ancestor has been slain by me!" she said, intimidating everyone as the children trembled hiding beneath their parents, even the adults trembled, feeling like their imminent deaths were approaching.

"I am Brontes, a former Hero of the Ancient Race of Copper Cyclops that your Ancestor Vretrion once slaughtered to extinction. He killed all of my people and me, and I had come to have revenge on him," she said, as the people were shocked to hear the truth about Vretrion. None of the people present dared to reject her truth, as she was the strongest now, and insolently raising their voice against her might as well mean sure death… although Brontes wouldn't kill them. She's way softer than you may think.

"A former hero?"

"The copper cyclops! I do remember them…"

"They're the evil race that Vretrion once defeated… so the truth was that…"

"They were merely normal cyclops? Not evil?"

"Well, it might be hard to believe it after growing up with such lies. But fear not, I have not come to do the same as your ancestor. I want to prove to all of you that I am not like that man. I will not slay you, people, as I don't believe that the descendants of a sinner should carry on the sins of their ancestor. You are free people, and free will remain. All beings are born innocent," said Brontes.

The Abyss Cyclops crimson eyes shined brightly as some began to cry, they were all scared that they would be slaughtered, but Brontes' honest smile and her aura that seemed warm and encompassing got into their hearts, and the people saw her as someone benevolent and good-hearted and had only come here to slay the one that had done so much evil against her.

99% of the people here didn't know how Vretrion truly was, so aside from religious things that they barely took seriously, none of these people held any real attachment to Vretrion, to begin with, he was a mostly anonymous ruler.

This is why the actual and real ruler of the Abyss Cyclops stepped in, a beautiful woman with long silvery-white hair, shiny crimson red eye with a large scar in the middle of her face, which made her crimson eye white in the area of the scar, seemingly being blind, a large and slim figure wearing a long black dress came walking slowly. She was charming to the eyes, yet also mysterious, and her white eye seemed to give the vibes of being someone who had gone through a lot of bad experiences.

"Thank you for your benevolence, Brontes-sama… I am Casyophea, the Chief of our Tribe and our land, as Vretrion-sama was always anonymous, a chief was always chosen every 200 years. I am grateful that you don't wish to carry the vengeance you desired to exert to Vretrion to us," she said politely.

"Nice to meet you Casyophea, and fear not, I am a woman that does not lie," said Brontes with a confident smile, her exuding confidence, and heroic aura made the people around her inherently feel attracted to Brontes… I think she had awakened some kind of Enlightenment Skill.

Casyophea ended chatting with Brontes for a while until she was suddenly asked something…

"Brontes-sama, please, now that we are left without a protector such as our ancestor… If this is much to ask, as the strongest that you are, could you govern over us and offer your protection? In exchange, we shall serve you with all we have for all of our lives," said Casyophea, none of the citizens opposed her words.

I knew it, Brontes was offered a whole Kingdom!

"Ah…? Err… Well…" she muttered.

"Just take it," I said, sitting like a little fairy whispering to her over her right shoulder.

"Okay then… but please don't treat me like a goddess, let's be closer if possible," said Brontes with a humble smile, as the people began to cheer.
