I wonder who will win between these two.
Will Invincible True God fall?
"It's hard to say. If it happens, it would truly be a landmark event in the Demon-Hunting War!"
The spectators were discussing it wildly.
Gustavo and Mephisto were locked in a fierce battle.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, their skin riddled with terrible pits and cracks, many so deep that bone was visible, and they seemed to hold the other's life force, making them difficult to heal.
In more mystical terms, it's a wound inflicted by the laws of nature.
Thump!!
The dark figure landed first, followed by a loud bang.
The earth was almost completely disintegrated. Mephisto, the Demonic Crystal Lion King, struggled to his feet from the crater, raised his scarred head, his mane swaying, and gazed at the Dragon-Hunting Spider in the sky, who was in much better condition than him.
Roar!!
A deafening roar echoed from afar, utterly resolute.
The pitch-black Abyss fire suddenly surged, and his muscles became even larger and more prominent, rising in layers like mountains. The flames quickly cooled and turned into pitch-black crystals, completely covering Mephisto, and his aura also increased dramatically.
"A Main God Skill with explosive power, interesting!" A knowing glint flashed in Gustavo's eyes.
He showed no fear whatsoever. This powerful posture, though imposing, did not frighten him; in fact, it excited Gustavo somewhat.
"After the outbreak, there will inevitably be a period of weakness, and that will be your death day!" Gustavo thought to himself as he also swooped down.
The blade's feet collided with the lion's claws, stirring up a fierce wave of energy, intertwined with the power of laws, vast and mighty, seemingly threatening to destroy the world.
A terrifying force emanated from the blade's feet, and Gustavo was sent flying by the burst of the Main God Skill from the Demonic Crystal Lion King Mephisto.
If it weren't for the Void-Devouring Claw protecting him, his sword-wielding feet would probably have been broken.
And so, Gustavo was once again at a disadvantage.
Enveloped in surging demonic energy, Mephisto's bat wings blotted out the sky, his lion mane unfurled, and black crystals floated around him like living beings. His already imposing body swelled even more, his power soared, and his physical attributes exploded across the board.
Faster and with sharper senses, it can easily evade Gustavo's counterattacks and even seize opportunities to launch attacks.
Bang!!
Gustavo flew out again, like a giant spiky ball.
Its carapace was shattered and covered in blood, but its spider eyes remained bright and dazzling.
In the sky, Mephisto, the Demonic Crystal Lion King who had been using Gustavo as a ball and had gained the upper hand, was not happy; his eyes were very serious.
Those who are family know their own affairs. While the Main God Skill are indeed powerful, the power of the True God is limited.
When he used the Main God Skill, the power within his body surged out like a floodgate being opened, causing the water level to drop drastically.
Especially for explosive Main God Skill, the consumption is even greater.
Before long, I started to feel tired.
"No, we can't keep fighting him. The Devouring Path excels at prolonged battles. This guy is tough and resilient; we can't kill him. We need to retreat as soon as possible!"
As an old demon who had roamed the Abyss for countless years, Mephisto was very quick-witted. After realizing that he could not win by continuing the fight, the idea of retreating came to mind.
The world is vast, but your own life is the most important thing; once you're dead, you have nothing left.
Thinking of this, Mephisto looked at Gustavo, who was lunging at him again, took a deep breath, and then opened his massive maw.
Immediately afterwards, a highly condensed energy torrent, seemingly materialized, composed of countless black crystals, burst forth, carrying the immense power of the laws of the Abyss.
Mephisto's third Main God Skill has been introduced.
Compared to the previous two Main God Skill, one melee and one burst type.
This Main God Skill belongs to the mid-to-long-range attack type. Its power Berserk, as if universes are condensed and explode in his mouth, bursting out with unparalleled Destruction power.
Almost simultaneously, the Devouring Divine Realm suddenly appeared behind Gustavo.
One after another Divine Law, like prey caught in a spider's web, stretched across the Divine Realm Divine Realm, adding to its power and together forming a terrifying Black Hole.
Leaping lightning, burning flames, surging waters, sudden gusts of wind... all sorts of Divine Law converged in the Black Hole, churning and roaring, eventually transforming into a single, equally dark divine light that met Mephisto's attack head-on without flinching.
Rumble!!
Two terrifying energy streams collided in mid-air.
A massive explosion occurred instantly at the point of impact.
A massive rift appeared in the world, and propelled by the shockwave, it spread wildly outwards. The entire Lightless Plane shook violently, and countless demons were killed by the aftershocks. The screams and groans on the ground were incessant, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Under the intense clash of the two forces, Mephisto was unable to escape.
Once he stops expending energy, Gustavo's attack will instantly land on him.
However, if he continues to maintain this level of attack, his already limited strength will not last long.
When strength becomes unsustainable, defeat is inevitable.
A difficult choice has arisen.
The choice was to withstand Gustavo's attack head-on and retreat quickly while there was still some strength left in his body.
Or we'll choose to continue this attrition stalemate and see who gives up first.
Without a second thought, the answer was crystal clear for Mephisto, the Demonic Crystal Lion King: withdraw from the battle as soon as possible.
The monster before them, belonging to the Devouring lineage, possessed unfathomable power. While attacking, it also frantically devoured the Abyss demonic energy, showing no fear of being corrupted—it was simply outrageous.
Which of us is the real Abyss creature?!
Mephisto himself was utterly speechless.
The next second, he decisively withdrew from the battle. The instant he stopped attacking, his bat wings folded in front of him, like an eggshell protecting him.
The Black Crystal torrent, having lost its power, was instantly pushed back.
The Black Hole Divine Light once again pierced through the heavens and earth, striking the bat's wings with unstoppable force.
Thanks to the Main God Artifact, the Wings of Vanishing Shadow, Mephisto's bat wings were tough enough to withstand Gustavo's attack, but at the same time, his movements were slowed down for a moment.
Gustavo began to unleash his full power.
"You've used up your three tricks, now it's my turn!"
With a cold snort, the Thousand Divine Realms behind Gustavo once again condensed into a Black Hole, and the power of Main God surged out and poured into the Void-Devouring Claw.
At the same time, countless spider silks climbed along the spatial veins, and the sealing divine runes, like maggots clinging to bones, enveloped the entire Lightless Plane, temporarily severing the connection between the inside and outside.
With both attacks combined, Mephisto, unable to escape, could only watch helplessly as the terrifying, earth-shattering claw strike landed on him.
With a shattering sound, Mephisto's Black Crystal armor shattered instantly, pierced by the Berserk force. His power had plummeted to rock bottom, making it impossible for him to retaliate.
They could only watch as the relentless attacks rained down upon them.
Rumble!!
Attacks came down like Gale storm, shifting the balance of power between offense and defense.
However, the Demonic Crystal Lion King Mephisto did not possess the same level of defensive power Gustavo.
Finally, with a mournful cry, it completely lost its ability to resist, its neck being held in place by two crossed bladed feet and lifted up.
The dim beastly eyes narrowed slightly, and several bright spider eyes, as bright as the midday sun, bared their claws and bared their fangs.
Before Mephisto could say anything more, he took a bite.
Click!!
Just like Mephisto had done time and again before, biting off the necks of other creatures.
A powerful Dragon-Hunting Spider inflicted the same brutality upon him.
It's all just a matter of the survival of the fittest.
