"You cannot fight against a Grand Cosmic Dao!

" roared the angered Celestial, as he had enough of Veronica and Ervas play, and he angrily roared back at them, desiring only one thing, to kill them!

His energies gathered within his hurt body as they healed all of his wounds in a mere instant, the swords falling towards him and slashing through him suddenly were all turned into ashes, as his power continued to grow larger and larger, the more serious he became, the stronger his power was becoming!

Could Ervas and Veronica and their allies truly be able to deal with such a dangerous enemy, even with the tricks they have below their sleeve? In this Universe, power was everything after all. One could only get so far with such tricks, however!

But if these tricks were based on Grand Daos… Then perhaps it wasn't all that hopeless, even the Celestial, a World Devourer-Realm entity was beginning to feel the struggle that was fighting against the fusion!

Especially because unlike them, who had battled many enemies and have accumulated a large quantity of battle experience, he was someone with zero battle experience that always overpowered any enemy with a mere swipe of his hand, therefore, someone that was suddenly forced into such a situation like this, even with overwhelming power, was failing to be capable of catching up to their tactics.

His body exuded a powerful wave of thick golden-colored transcendental essence, which was infused with the power of his deadly Daos and held the power to completely disintegrate souls, even if they were from a Supreme God.

Such deadly golden essence spread around him and formed an even stronger domain, alongside healing all the wounds he had over his ethereal golden body, although he couldn't help feel exhausted and quite weakened, somehow, all those attacks began to slowly chop down his life away, if he continued resisting them for too long, not even the Celestial knew what might had happened to him…

It almost felt as if these blades were a furious pack of wolves eating him away bite by bite… could that also be the effect of another Grand Dao they had created that he was unaware of?

"Just how many Daos do these bastards have…?! Damned Dao Children… I don't care…

" he muttered.

"I don't care if you're a Dao Children or whatever… I will just show you that I am a superior living being than you, and that I… I am the one worthy of victory.

"

His mid was feeble and so were his words, but within them, there was a certain pride and fierceness that the split souls had not seen before in anybody to such a level of hypocrisy, this entity simply didn't knew about lose, in fact, it had never tasted defeat.

But because of that, it was so incredibly prideful that the sole thought of having a small chance of losing against these foes infuriated him, bringing forth even more of his transcendental planetary-level power.

The fusion looked at him in silence for a split of a second before acting without saying a word to confront him, they knew that such a stubborn entity was not going to even discuss with them, and therefore, trying to change his mind was completely pointless.

"I suppose it is time to go a bit more serious.

" said Veronica's voice, surprising Ervas, Aurora, Juliette, and Anastacia that were fused with her.

Why did she just said that out of nowhere? They knew that talking was pointless but what was the point of saying that?

Provoking him?

"S-Serious?! Hah! Do you think I am going to believe you have not gone serious yet?!

" asked the Celestial, as his transcendental golden light gathered as billions of souls fused and shaped themselves as enormous holy blades covered in golden flames, he held one in each hand, and pointed them at the fusion.

"Well, you would be surprised!

" said Veronica.

That was it.

She knew that this man… had a very fragile ego.

The moment he was provoked and told something hurtful, he broke down, lowered his guard, and would often go berserk.

Although those were the most dangerous moments one could confront such a strong being as this Celestial, these were also the moments he would show weaknesses the most.

Even though the prideful Celestial pretended to not believe her, deep down he was gritting his teeth in frustration as he heard Veronica's words, and without holding back anymore, he rushed towards the fusion at lightning speed and used his two golden swords to clash against them!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The fusion moved its enormous body behind space and time while resisting and intercepting his slashing blows with their blades, but the blades constantly broke apart the moment they were hit by these words, and their entire bodies were showered in deadly slashes, deep wounds into their souls that hurt badly!

However, they managed to meddle back into the spatial layers, where the Celestial attempted to follow them, but the fracture in space and time closed before he could enter, and he was forced to break it with his words.

CRAAAASH!

"Where are you going, you filthy cowards?!

"

BOOOM!!!

The space and time walls fractured once more as the Celestial entered the dimension in between the spatial walls that made the entire universe, looking for his foe and finding the mass of gray primordial essence flying away with its amorphous and grotesque shape!

"T-There you are! Have you become hopeless now that you're running away?!

" he asked cockily.

"What was all that cheap talk about anyways?!

"

He rushed towards them at lightning speed, reaching them and then slashing them countless times!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

POOOOF!

However, as he slashed through their gigantic body, it suddenly exploded and turned into gray spoke and dissipated…

"A-Again with this stupid trick- UNGH?!

"

SLASH!

Suddenly, a gigantic blade pierced the Celestial's chest!

Thanks to the amazing effect of the Dao of Mirages, the fusion had managed to pull out once more a save, and this time, they decided to attack him from behind!
