In Mountain of Demise...

Isabella, Eztein, Franklin, and the rest of the Astros were staring at the peak of the mountain. They've taken care of everything. All that was left was to finish what was happening beyond the portal at the top.

Even though it was in the sub-world, the fluctuations of energy were bursting through the portal from time to time. It was tearing through space, creating a phenomenon in the sky.

"Fuck!! I'm tired!

"

Eztein cursed as he lay down and took out a bottle of health potion. He glanced at Franklin and asked,

"What about you old man?

"

"There is no need.

" Franklin shook his head. He was tired too.

Torkez approached the two and said,

"Recover your strength as fast as possible. If our leader couldn't stop this then we'll go through that portal and help him.

"

"Damn, that's insane...

" Eztein complained but he still followed the instructions.

Torkez sighed as he glanced at the top of the mountain.

"We lost fifty percent of our soldiers in this battle... These are the biggest casualties that we've suffered ever since we established the Astros.

"

If their leader failed, all of them were ready to go through the portal to help him. The battle there was something that was beyond their capabilities but they were prepared to risk everything.

It was all or nothing.

Outside the Hall Plains...

The gods have finished fortifying the crimson net so it wouldn't get destroyed easily. They wanted to protect the crimson net so that no one would free No God Emperor.

Even if No God Emperor managed to free himself from the inside, they were prepared to deal with him and seal him once again.

"Our warriors are inside the Hall Plains. Trust them and they will stop No God Emperor's awakening. They have the spirit of a true warrior.

" Hercules said with a serious look on their face.

"There's nothing we could do except to put our trust in them,

" Hermes added.

They could only guard this place against other creatures with vile intentions. If they forcefully enter the crimson net, they would shatter it and free No God Emperor so they could only wait here.

Hercules looked at the sky as his eyes followed the path of the crimson net in outer space.

"Gluttony's aura has disappeared...

" He said in a low voice.

"Gabriel from the Angel Faction has appeared. The Angel's target is the Seven Deadly Sins. Gluttony probably retreated for now. He is just assessing the whole situation to see if he could use it for himself or not.

" Hermes said.

...

Souta felt his veins explode as blood poured out of his seven orifices.

The gravitational field blocked the solar flare. Not even particles managed to pass through the field. The gravity was so dense that it locked down the entire space around the planet.

ARGHH!!!

Souta roared as he pushed through with all of his might. The solar flare was blown away and the gravitational field spread out covering a larger space.

The flare slowly dissipated into nothingness. Souta made sure that it wouldn't affect anything so he spread the field more to cover the nearest planet.

Huff... Huff...

Souta felt his body getting heavy. He slowly floated around but the gravity of the planet pulled him little by little.

Swoosh!!

His body fell through the sky and crashed into the ocean, creating waves of water.

"Ugh! I'm tired...

"

Souta muttered to himself. He was tired but he couldn't let himself rest at this critical moment. No God Emperor was still here so he needed to see through the end of this event.

Boom!!

He burst through the ocean and arrived on an inhabited island. This place was covered in a huge mass of land before but after the massive attacks, it was reduced to this state. The whole continent had sunken beneath the ocean floor.

"I'll rest for a while...

"

Souta said as he sat down and watched the battle with his own eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No God Emperor still had the upper hand even when fighting all four powerful experts at the same time. He was manhandling them, especially Gerxuzs who kept coming at him.

"Not yet!

" Gerxuzs roared.

No God Emperor flashed before him. In just a second, he landed tens of thousands of blows on Gerxuzs' body. Then, he used a powerful light and dark sphere to blow the monster away.

Boom!!

Ibis, Governor Ray, and Alexander were rooted in their position. They wanted to help but they couldn't even move their bodies.

"What...?

" Ibis looked down and saw that both of her feet were covered in ice.

Alexander and Governor Ray were in the same position. Their feet were covered in strange ice. They didn't even notice it as they couldn't feel any coldness coming from the ice. It was as if the ice didn't exist.

"Shit!

"

Alexander cursed as a shadow appeared before him. It was No God Emperor.

No God Emperor smiled and asked,

"Are you surprised?

"

Alexander threw a punch but No God Emperor blocked it. Then, he threw hundreds of punches at Alexander's stomach.

Ugh!

Alexander spat a mouthful of blood. He widened his eyes as he saw a beam of darkness in front of his face.

The next moment, he found himself several kilometers away with a dark beam heavily damaging his body.

Boom!!

Gerxuzs and Alexander were the closest ones to their target so when No God Emperor retaliated they were the ones who suffered first. Ibis and Governor Ray were on the back supporting the two.

"Is that all you've got?

" No God Emperor's voice traveled through the entire area.

Gerxuzs stood up and glanced at the current state of his body. The smile on his face had disappeared. The only thing that was left was pure savageness.

"I'll show you something...

"

He stared at the sky and roared strongly.

ROAR!!!

His roar reverberated throughout the whole area. Alexander, Governor Ray, and Ibis couldn't help but look at Gerxuzs.

Boom!!

Gerxuzs' aura continued to grow stronger and stronger. The intensity of best feram spread out hundreds of kilometers with him at the center. The ocean and space started to vibrate due to the pressure of energy.

Alexander narrowed his eyes as he stood up,

"This amount of energy and power...? He is using that move!

"

Swoosh!!

No God Emperor was pushed away. He looked up and widened his eyes.

"This is... So you've tapped into that power!

"

The whole scenery started to change. Red and blue dots started to appear in the atmosphere as the sky slowly turned dark.

"I, who shall awaken...

"

The red and blue dots were pure elemental powers. They were glimmering in the darkness as the space around Gerxuzs started to distort.

Ohm!

"...am the monster who will destroy every creation.

"

His voice reverberated throughout the entire world. His language was different but everyone understood it.

"I seek obliteration and laugh at the Sins.

"

Gerxuzs bent his body as a pair of wings sprouted from his back. The two wings were pure black bones and each one had sharp edges.

"I mock the Commandments and step on the Zodiacs.

"

His body grew larger and exoskeleton armor covered his entire figure. The gems on his chest and shoulders emitted a dim light.

"I shall become the Monster of Obliteration.

"

All the red and blue dots flew toward his body. The dark sky turned back into the crimson sky.

"None shall escape my grasp. Obliteration is my hand.

"

He opened his huge mouth, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. Dark smoke seeped that contained pure energy from his mouth.

"Gerxuzs Crozvar.

"

Gerxuzs roared as a boundless amount of energy burst out of his body. The whole world started to shake at the presence of this powerful monster.

Boom!!

"You've tapped into your real name... The beastly instinct of a monster.

" No God Emperor smiled.

This was getting interesting.

He didn't expect that he would meet a fourth-stage monster that awakened the real name of his beastly instinct.

This was outside his expectations.

"It's incomplete but it's quite amazing that you've managed to awaken.

"

No God Emperor was impressed. They were really here to stop his awakening. He knew that he couldn't take this easy anymore. They were better than what he expected.

"Come! Show me what you've got!

"

He raised his hand and taunted his opponents.

Roar!!

With a roar, Gerxuzs launched himself toward No God Emperor. His speed was several times faster than before.

Swoosh!!

Gerxuzs swung the huge club in his hand and it was followed by ice and flames. It shot into the sky creating a magnificent pillar of energy.

Boom!!

No God Emperor still managed to block the attack.

"This is it...

"

He was having fun. It's been a long time since he had fought. He had been sealed for a thousand years. In his sealed state he wasn't sleeping, he was aware and alone in the darkness.

"Come!

"

No God Emperor's fist and Gerxuzs' club collided in midair.

Boom!!
