Chapter 439: The Siege of Light
---
A War Without End
The War of Reclamation had thrust the Godverse into a state of perpetual chaos. The Void Monarch, a being of unimaginable entropy, had begun to tear at the very fabric of existence. Its forces, the Voidborn, spread across the outer realms, corrupting everything they touched. With each battle, they grew stronger, more in tune with the void itself, feeding on the divine energies that once shielded the Godverse from such threats.

The First Wave of Assault
The first wave of the Voidborn was swift and unforgiving. Their very presence distorted reality, making it difficult for the divine legions to mount any substantial resistance. The Void Monarch, an entity that existed beyond the realms of time and space, remained an elusive target, its true form an enigma to the forces of light.
At the forefront of the battle, Gabriel and Azrael led their celestial armies, their wings shimmering with divine light. The angels and dark angels followed closely behind, their swords drawn, their auras burning brightly against the consuming darkness.
Gabriel's voice rang out across the battlefield. "Stand strong, for we are the light that will drive the darkness away!" His sword, Eclipse, pulsed with radiant energy as he cleaved through the advancing Voidborn. But for every one that fell, two more took its place, their forms shifting and reforming as they adapted to the attacks of the angels.
Meanwhile, Azrael unleashed waves of celestial fire, scorching the Voidborn as they attempted to swallow the divine light. Yet, even the celestial flames seemed to flicker in the face of the void's power, unable to maintain their brilliance for long.

Sung Jin-Woo's Intervention
Amidst the chaos, Sung Jin-Woo watched from his seat within the Godverse, his glowing golden eyes scanning the battlefield. His heartbeats—the rhythm of creation itself—echoed across the realms, a steady pulse that resonated with every being in existence.
With a deep breath, Sung Jin-Woo rose from his throne. His appearance shifted, becoming more ethereal, as his countless wings unfurled, each one gleaming with divine power. "The time has come," he whispered to himself, his voice a calm yet resolute force.
He extended his hands, and in response, the God Tree, the source of divine creation within the Godverse, trembled. From the roots of the God Tree sprouted new celestial warriors, born from the purest light, their forms bathed in divine energy. These newly created angels were different from the previous legions—more powerful, more attuned to the divine energy of the Godverse itself.
With a single thought, Sung Jin-Woo commanded them to join the battle, to face the Voidborn head-on. They charged forward, their weapons forged from the essence of the God Tree, gleaming with power beyond comprehension.

The Void Monarch's Challenge
As the battle raged on, the Void Monarch finally revealed itself. It appeared as a swirling mass of shadows and light, a being of contradictions. It was neither entirely solid nor entirely formless, an ever-shifting entity that defied conventional understanding.
The Void Monarch's voice echoed through the battlefield, a deep and resonating sound that sent a chill down the spine of every being present. "You, the creatures of light and creation, are weak. Your very existence is an affront to the infinite void. I am the end of all things, and I will see this realm devoured."
In response, Sung Jin-Woo stepped forward, his presence overwhelming. The battlefield fell silent, as the forces of both light and darkness momentarily halted in awe of the Most Supreme Deity.
"I am the light that will never fade," Sung Jin-Woo declared, his voice booming across the Godverse. "And I will not allow you to erase what I have created."
The air around him crackled with divine energy, his wings unfurling in a breathtaking display of power. He raised his sword, Sovereign's Edge, and in that instant, the energy of the entire Godverse surged into him.

The Clash of Powers
The Void Monarch snarled, its form rippling as it prepared to strike. It launched an attack so devastating that the very ground beneath it began to fracture and crumble. A massive wave of entropy, dark and all-consuming, surged toward Sung Jin-Woo.
With a flash of his sword, Sung Jin-Woo cut through the wave of darkness, his Sovereign's Edge glowing with the brilliance of a thousand suns. The collision of the two forces sent shockwaves through the entire Godverse, and for a moment, time itself seemed to freeze.
But the Void Monarch was relentless. It twisted and contorted, its form shifting into new shapes, each one more dangerous than the last. It seemed to draw power from the very void of existence itself, growing stronger with every strike.
Yet Sung Jin-Woo was unyielding. His divine form—now more ethereal and transcendent than ever—stood resolute against the encroaching darkness. With every swing of his sword, he cut through the void, pushing the Void Monarch back with the force of creation itself.

The Price of Victory
As the battle waged on, the forces of light began to turn the tide. The Voidborn, though powerful, began to falter against the sheer might of the angels and dark angels under Sung Jin-Woo's command. The Void Monarch itself, despite its formidable power, was beginning to show signs of strain.
However, victory came at a cost. The battle had drained the Godverse of much of its divine energy, and the angels and dark angels began to tire. The Voidborn were relentless, and though the forces of light were winning, the damage to the Godverse was becoming evident.
Sung Jin-Woo knew that the conflict was far from over. The Void Monarch would return, stronger than ever, and the War of Reclamation would continue. But for now, he stood victorious.
With a wave of his hand, Sung Jin-Woo commanded his forces to retreat. Gabriel, Azrael, and the other angels stood by his side, ready to face whatever came next.
"The war is not over," Sung Jin-Woo declared, his eyes glowing with determination. "But we have won this battle. And we will fight again, until the Godverse is secure."
