As Anthony stood staring at the Demon King, his sky-blue eyes tore to the side to see God racing toward the both of them. Anthony smirked as he raised his hand, a bow forming with ease as he created one on the spot. An arrow of Bow Intent appeared upon the bow, and without missing a beat, Anthony drew back the string and fired.
The moment he shot the Intent arrow, it immediately multiplied into the millions, every single one racing toward God at a blitzing speed.
God, seeing the attack, didnât even bother with it. He simply paused time and slipped through every Intent arrow as though it were the most natural thing in existence. The moment he got close, he attacked without hesitation; there was no need for words. His fist rocketed toward Anthonyâs head as they both stood upon the same planet.
Anthony stared at the fist closing in on his face, but just as the attack was about to connect, he simply opened a portal at the last moment. Godâs entire arm passed through the portal, the fist now appearing before the Demon Kingâs face.
But the Demon King remained composed, as though he had already expected it. He simply bent space to his own will as he layered a portal over the portal Anthony had opened before him. Godâs hand passed through it again and appeared before Anthonyâs face once more.
Anthony didnât dodge. He simply stacked another portal in front of the two portals before him, but this time, he redirected the attack toward God instead of the Demon King once again.
God, seeing his own fist closing in on his face, immediately raised his second hand and blocked his own attack. But at that moment, Anthony moved, as he had no intention of wasting such an opportunity. He immediately collapsed the six portals, instantly tearing Godâs right hand into nothingness, before following it up with a brutal Brazilian kick to the jaw.
But the moment the attack landed, God resisted, refusing to allow the momentum to throw him sideways as he remained determined to pay Anthony back for that last attack.
Absolute Technique: Mind And Soul Conversion
Faith Energy immediately exploded outward from Godâs core like a maddening tsunami, erupting in a wave never seen before. Even reality groaned beneath the sheer magnitude and weight of the Faith Energy.
Anthonyâs sky-blue eyes shone as he stared at the golden Faith Energy before him. Even he, who possessed Infinite Mana, had never unleashed such immense reserves before.
The next moment, Anthony felt the Faith Energy slam into his body with point-blank accuracy. But no, his body wasnât the true target. The Faith Energy poured through the pores of his body as it raced toward three different places, his Mind, Soul, and Mana Core.
Anthony felt his mind shake. He felt Godâs Faith Energy attempting to rewire everything about him, trying to turn him into a being loyal only to God. It sought to twist Anthonyâs memories of his parents and friends, reshaping them into something entirely different.
Anthonyâs Soul was also undergoing the same process at this moment. His Ethereal Soul, which had been colorless, was slowly turning pure gold little by little.
Anthony didnât panic. A manifestation of himself appeared within his own mind as he stared at the "corruption" unfolding in real time, and without missing a beat, a telepathic wave of force erupted from him and immediately slammed into the Faith Energy with overwhelming ease.
A titanic explosion erupted within Anthonyâs mind as everything seemed to turn into a tug-of-war. But the struggle was futile, for this was Anthonyâs mind. He couldnât be so easily controlled and converted like everyone God had dominated before now. And with that, Anthony erased Godâs influence from his mind before vanishing and purging the Faith Energy from his Soul and Mana Core as well.
In the real world, Anthonyâs senses returned, his sky-blue eyes snapping toward God, who was now suffering an immense backlash from the rejection he had received from Anthonyâs Mind, Soul, and Mana Core, making the repercussions even more devastating.
Anthony didnât hesitate. He immediately went for the kill. His hand shot forward like a blade, and like a hot knife through butter, it tore through Godâs chest. His hand gripped the beingâs golden, beating heart as it burst outward from Godâs back.
God immediately forgot about the backlash he was suffering as he coughed up a litre of golden blood onto Anthonyâs face, his eyes widening in pure shock and horror. He hadnât expected Anthony to be so decisive and immediately go for the killing blow.
But simply taking Godâs heart wasnât enough to kill him. His Vitality was far too immense to be ended by the destruction of a single organ.
Anthony seemed to know this and immediately continued. His other hand tore toward Godâs head, and with a deafening boom, his fist met Godâs head, though the being barely managed to dodge at the last moment. Even so, the attack blew away half of Godâs skull and brain, leaving only half of his face intact.
The Demon King, seemingly noticing the seriousness of the situation, immediately moved at peak speed as he arrived before Anthony and God within an attosecond.
But before he could act, Anthony smirked and immediately vanished from where he stood with God in tow as he manipulated Time and Space with ease.
Without missing a beat, Anthony pulled back as he withdrew his hand from Godâs chest before clenching his fist, crushing the heart within his grasp.
God felt the pain, but he didnât dare scream. His pride wouldnât allow such mortal displays. He simply stared directly into Anthonyâs eyes, but did Anthony care? Definitely not.
Godâs regeneration was already active. Half of a new heart had already formed within his open chest, which itself was already beginning to close. Anthony gave him no chance. His hand blurred once more as it immediately tore through Godâs stomach, his fingers reaching the Faith Core itself. Godâs face instantly twisted.
God immediately tried to manipulate Faith Energy in order to vanish through Time and return to the Divinora Galaxy to hide, but before he could do so, Anthony ripped out the Core with ease, and finally, God let out a scream, his voice ringing out with pure pain and horror.
Anthony smirked as Godâs healing came to an abrupt halt.
"In your next life, donât try conquering a galaxy if you donât know who resides within it," he stated with a smirk, and with those words, Blue Flames bloomed outward and consumed God whole.
Anthony didnât know whatever backup plan God had in place, but he was certain there was one. There was simply no way a being on this level wouldnât possess some means of resurrecting himself. So Anthony made sure to burn him out of Existence once and for all, leaving absolutely nothing behind.
And with that, silence returned to the battlefield. Anthonyâs sky-blue eyes slowly turned toward the Demon King, who was now staring at him with a frown upon his face.
Anthony stood with a grin, golden blood plastered across his face, his presence alone causing reality around him to tremble ever so slightly.
It was now time for the Demon King to join God.
It was time for Evil to go and meet Justice.
