In Bland City...
Aleteya was looking down at the person in front of her. Her eyes were full of coldness as she stared at the man before her. Her energy was undulating from high to low as the floor trembled under her powers.
"Have you realized the difference between us? Even if this body has deteriorated, it's still something that you couldn't match," she said coldly.
"Ugh! As expected of the Commandment of Selfless..." Grim said as he forced himself to stand. There was still confidence in his eyes even though he just suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
Suddenly, the two widened their eyes as they turned their heads at the same time. They felt a huge fluctuation in energy coming from the Mountain of Demise.
"It seems that someone is trying to prevent No G.o.d Emperor's awakening." Aleteya smiled as she found this event quite amusing. She turned her head to Grim and asked, "Aren't you gonna go there? If you help the people fighting there, you could probably prevent No G.o.d Emperor's awakening."
"No, my job here is to stop you from obtaining the item beyond it," Grim said as he focused his attention on the monster in front of him.
"What are you gonna do once he awakens? The whole Hall Plains will fall apart and all the living beings here will be sacrificed in the ritual to regain his previous strength. You are included in those sacrifices." Aleteya asked something she was curious about.
"I already said it before that I have a plan to deal with it or else I wouldn't let myself be trapped in this land," Grim replied.
"You really are deluded if you think that you could fight me," Aleteya said.
"No, I have something that will turn you back to where you came from." Grim smiled underneath the bandages around his face. He placed his hand in his pocket and took out a small gem.
Ohm!!
The small gem emitted a dim strange light.
Aleteya looked at it and widened her eyes. "Y-You!! H-How do you have that item?!"
"Eh~ I simply s.n.a.t.c.h it under the nose of the Deadly Sins." Grim laughed. The gem floated above his palm and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
Aleteya regained her calmness immediately.
"This is getting interesting... With Spatial Gem, you can really make this body disappear. I wonder who's the one that is backing you... The Deadly Sins must be after your head right now."
She smiled beautifully as she found this turn of events quite amusing.
A Spatial Gem was in the hands of some unknown mortal. It was a very rare item in this world and the process of making it was too hard. It has unknown power as only a few people knew about its true capability.
"You don't need to know that," Grim said as he raised the spatial gem above him.
s.h.i.+ng!!
An ear-piercing sound echoed followed by bright light.
Aleteya stared at it without changing her expression.
"I will find you..."
The brilliant light swallowed everything in sight. A huge pillar of energy rose from the center of the city. The whole city trembled as the power grew stronger. It affected the nearby people as the light tore through the sky.
Boom!!
The whole city suffered a terrifying disaster.
The people who thought that they were going to die suddenly found themselves outside the city.
"Huh?!"
"What happened...?!"
"I'm just doing my laundry!"
They were confused about what was happening. They looked around and found that Bland City was in ruins. Smoke was coming out of it as a terrifying fluctuation of energy was sparking every second around it.
A woman was sitting at the corner observing these people. She had beautiful blue eyes and a shoulder-length blue color hair. She had a pair of cat ears on top of her head and several fluffy tails sticking out of her robe.
She shook her head and said, "I don't want to save these people but I have to do this since he told me to do so..."
No one noticed that she saved these people's lives. She didn't care at all. She just charmed them and used her energy to move them faster so that they wouldn't get caught up in the explosion.
She turned her attention to the city and muttered, "Did he complete his job? I know that it's hard but he had the spatial gem so I don't think that it's gonna be a problem."
She then shook her head and stood up. Her figure slowly disappeared without anyone noticing her presence.
...
Swoos.h.!.+
The collision of the two attacks devastated the entire land within a radius of thousands of kilometers. The rocks were melted and the temperature in the air was as high as the sun. No ordinary creature would be able to live on this planet.
Gerxuzs was floating in the sky looking down at the destruction that he had caused. The pair of bone wings on his back was destroyed and only a few exoskeleton armors were intact on his body. His breathing was heavy and blood kept pouring out of his injuries.
The damage that he received was greater than he imagined. He was going all-out yet his opponent could still fight him without having a disadvantage.
Huff!! Huff!!
"This is great... The apex predator is really different..." Gerxuzs muttered to himself.
No G.o.d Emperor's condition was better than Gerxuzs. It's not that he didn't receive any damage from that exchange, it's just that he was tougher than his opponent. It would take more than that if his opponent wanted to defeat him.
Cough!! Cough!!
He coughed a mouthful of blood. He felt extreme heat all over his body and he could see burn marks on his arms and legs.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this pain... This is the pain of fighting a worthy opponent."
No G.o.d Emperor smiled. Suddenly, he turned his head and raised his hand.
Bang!
He caught a first heading toward his face. The one who attacked him was Governor Ray. At the same time, Alexander dashed to their side.
Swoos.h.!.+
No G.o.d Emperor saw this saw he turned around but Governor Ray grabbed both of his hands. Alexander didn't let this chance pa.s.s by so he swiftly launched a series of powerful punches.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
After a few seconds, Governor Ray released No G.o.d Emperor and he attacked him along with Alexander. Both of their fists were embedded into No G.o.d Emperor's stomach.
Ugh!!
No G.o.d Emperor groaned in pain before he was blown into the sky.
Swoos.h.!.+
Ibis was already waiting above. She raised her sword and extreme flames coated her blade.
[Burning Mountain Cleave]!!
She slashed her burning blade at her opponent. No G.o.d Emperor couldn't avoid it. He took the attack directly without any guard.
His body turned into a stream of light as he crashed on the melting ground like a meteor.
Boom!!
It wasn't done yet. Gerxuzs pounced at his position and threw a terrifying cold energy. The whole area within a radius of ten kilometers suddenly turned into ice ground.
Boom!!
A few moments later, Gerxuzs came out of the smoke and crashed on the nearby rocks.
"Ahahaha! This is it!! Show me everything that you've got!!"
No G.o.d Emperor laughed as he stared at his four opponents. He raised his hand and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He was clearly enjoying this battle. He never experienced a battle in a thousand years so this little battle made his blood boil.
"I'll step it up..." Alexander stepped forward and the atmosphere around him changed.
Gerxuzs stood up from the rubble. He glanced at Alexander and said strongly, "I don't need your help. I can still fight for five minutes. You should wait for your turn."
Alexander ignored Gerxuzs' words. He kept staring at No G.o.d Emperor with a serious look on his face.
"I haven't seen a creature like you in my entire life... It makes me wonder how you were even born."
His voice traveled through the air. It was low but it contained mysterious power.
Swoos.h.!.+
Several dots of light with different colors emerged in the surroundings.
No G.o.d Emperor raised his eyebrows with interest. "When you warped the s.p.a.ce before, I realized that you've achieved that level. It seems impossible but it only made this situation more interesting."
Alexander's clothes fluttered as the winds grew stronger. The dots of light exploded and their particles slowly scattered in the surrounding area.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Element Drive: Fusion of the Myriad Elements..."
As soon as he said those words, the whole place suddenly turned into vast spectacles with various elements floating in the air. The amount of elemental powers floating in the atmosphere was like a deep and vast ocean.
"I will fight you with everything that I've got."
Alexander raised both of his fists and fixed his fighting stance.
Gerxuzs glanced at him before he turned his attention back to their opponent.
No G.o.d Emperor stared at the two unbelievable people with a wide grin.
He couldn't hope for anything.
This was the best.
