Furioso-Requiem Mass-Crescendo
Faced with this apocalyptic sight that could obliterate everything, Wei Zhenzu slowly lowered his head.
Inside the Oracle Terminal, the liquid metal boiled furiously.
Beep*beep*
The liquid metal condensed into... a spoon.
"Heh, the ninth."
Wei Zhenzu's voice was hoarse, yet it held a chilling calm.
"Complete."
[Proxy: Hermes]--9 stacks, protocol unlocked.
Several clusters of blue code appeared in midair once more.
"Beep*beep*..."
The pulsating code rapidly twisted, finally arranging itself into a string of glaring characters: CLEAR._
[Furioso-Replica]
Boom!
An oppressive black mist erupted from beneath Wei Zhenzu's tattered suit.
The muscles of his face, half hidden by his mask, began to twitch uncontrollably. At last, his mouth stretched into a sickly, gloomy, and deranged smile.
"Ah... so... this day came after all."
He tossed the terminal high into the air.
Unable to withstand the terrifying overload, the [Oracle Terminal] began to crack apart inch by inch.
Black-and-gold liquid metal surged upward into the air like a torrential downpour. Amid the Oracle's piercing alarm, it instantly transformed into nine broken instruments of torture radiating death and despair.
"Blind Obsession."
Wei Zhenzu raised his head and, facing the plummeting poisonous-blood meteor, made his final declaration:
"There's no need to embark on a journey. This is the hell where you belong, isn't it?"
His body instantly became a pitch-black afterimage, breaking free of gravity's hold as he charged straight at the meteor.
"Witness this... perfect requiem, composed of commands."
[Furioso-Requiem Mass-Crescendo]
The sky became his execution ground.
Afterimages flickered frantically through the air as the liquid metal in his hands reformed, shattered, and reformed again in milliseconds.
A massive iron spike pierced the poisonous-blood meteor's hard outer layer;
It then became a slender hand-and-a-half sword, shredding the corrosive energy gushing outward;
The metal narrowed into an ultrafine rapier, thrusting with terrifying speed and leaving afterimages as it unleashed a hundred pecking stabs like a torrential downpour;
The blade's tip abruptly bent and widened, becoming a heavy hand axe that viciously cleaved through the churning poisonous mist.
The assault did not pause for an instant. The axe blade swelled into a broad greatsword, slashing upward in a violent arc of light that tore through the formation's core;
The blade melted and lengthened, becoming a long spear covered in barbs that drove firmly into a blind spot in the Heavenly Demon's defenses;
The instant the spear plunged into flesh, it bent like a waning moon, becoming a lightless scythe that hooked into Dvalin's flesh and tore viciously outward;
The scythe blade burst apart, turning into a long whip covered in metal barbs that shattered the final barrier around the core with a piercing sonic boom.
Like a tireless, ruthless cog, he unleashed the full force of the violent eight-hit combo on the enormous sphere of poisonous-blood energy and the Heavenly Demon's true body.
The life-or-death judgments of the first eight coins were smashed through by the relentless cycling of blades and the frenzied transformations of metal.
"Crack, bang!"
The liquid metal was no longer constrained by conventional forms. It absorbed the "sins" of the disintegrating Heavenly Demon and became an absurdly oversized war hammer.
"Always so enraged."
Wei Zhenzu twisted his body in midair, gripped the end of the hammer's handle with both hands, and smashed it viciously into the enormous scales on the Heavenly Demon's chest.
"Fools who live lives tailored for them. That's you, and me too. But first things first."
"Heh... the abandoned... guardian... became... the most impartial... sinner... what an... ironic... fairy tale..."
Dvalin took one last, lingering look at the man before him.
Bang!
A piercing wail rang across the sky.
Unable to withstand the terrifying pressure of spatial compression, Wei Zhenzu's right arm burst into a thick cloud of bloody mist.
But that did not stop the hammer from utterly pulverizing the Heavenly Demon's judgment formation, the scales, and even the pale mask, along with the poisonous-blood meteor.
Amid a deafening explosion and a rain of blood that filled the sky, the deformed Heavenly Demon came apart with a crash and a piercing wail, turning into drifting black ash and dim particles of light before vanishing completely into nothingness.
