Chapter 240 - Death
A figure of large Calamitous Leviathan and the voluptuous Barbatos surrounded by undead rushed towards one another, each holding a piece of an Ultimate Treasure that could be the solution to the horrible situation they were in.
Victory was in sight, but alas, it was not for them!
"Space Repulsion."
VOOM!
Calm words rang out as the vibrant figure of the Devilish Time Unveiler teleported between them, his mastery of the Law of Spacetime allowing him to ignore the restriction he set up himself. He looked arrogantly towards the large figure of Noah as he uttered the words, their effect causing a tremendous force to explode outward, knocking the huge body of the Nine-headed Dragon back as his other hand formed into the shape of claw and closed in on Barbatos's position.
CLASP!
Barbatos's figure was pulled towards the Devilish Time Unveiler at high speeds as her neck was quickly wrapped around the palm of the powerful being.
"You motherfu-���
Her short legs kicked as the Devilish Time Unveiler nonchalantly began tightening his hand on her throat and shattered her vocal cords instantly. Blazing suns began to appear around her as her undead came to her aid, but they were all repulsed back by an explosive force as if they were nothing.
Noah recovered from the large impact and rapidly worked to heal his heavily injured body as he looked at this sight in despair and...fear.
Yes, fear.
They were close. They were extremely close!
If he could just get his hands on that dagger, he would be able to turn the tides! He held the other part of this weapon that even the Devilish Time Unveielr himself did not know. As long as he got his hands on this Ultimate Treasure, they would have had a chance to leave this place alive.
But he watched these last embers of hope be dashed as the powerful figure of the Void Fimmerment cultivator smashed him back towards the ground while his hands wrapped tightly around Barbatos's neck.
The Emperor Penguin, the Kraken, and other remaining beasts rushed towards Barbatos's position as their Phantasmal level power did nothing to pierce the layers of spatial defenses set up by the Devilish Time Unveiler.
"Spatial Rupture."
RIIIP!
The being called out the words simply again as ruptures in space spread out, covering the bodies of the Kraken and Emperor Penguin as a bloody mess of gore erupted out.
"RAA!"
Tentacles were cut off as a rupture diagonally spread across the body of the Kraken, its dark eyes losing their light as its head exploded in a shower of blood.
A silver light erupted out briefly on the body of the Emperor Penguin, buts its powers were for naught as its arrogantly raised beak shattered first, the rest of its body becoming split apart right after as its beady eyes gazed towards the master of its Spiritual Land as they were losing their light.
An arrogant light was still present on its beady eyes as one focused on the figure it fearlessly went to fight against, while the other half of its bisected head looked towards Noah with an apologetic expression. It could not protect the friend of its Master, nor any of its brothers from the Spiritual Land.
The arrogant and apologetic light in its beady eyes slowly dwindled as it completely lost consciousness.
This was the cause of the fear that Noah had begun to feel for the first time. This powerful being that seemed to be playing with all them in the palm of his hands, where no matter what they did he always came out on top!
They were so close.
Noah felt the exploding aura of the Devilish Time Unveiler as it stably held not a single milky white of the Saint Realm, fully recovering its power as it let out a wild purple aura of regal strength.
A purple robe with golden inscriptions appeared on the body of the Devilish Time Unveiler as he continued to clasp tightly onto Barbatos's neck, his gaze alternating towards the despairing Noah and the strong light in the eyes of the struggling Barbatos.
"It is not the first time I have torn apart lovers, for that I apologize."
His gaze was calm as his free hand reached out and grabbed onto the right hand of the struggling Barbatos and he pulled down, tearing apart the arm as blood rained down.
The heavily injured Drax joined Noah on the ground as they looked despairingly at the position in the sky where the Devilish Time Unveiler was ripping apart Barbatos. She held the Ultimate Treasure with her, and the terrible being held her in his hands. The Celestial was heavily injured and barely hanging on to life after he fell for the trap laid upon the dagger when he first touched it, while Noah moved even though he knew his Transcendent power would not be able to do anything against a being two levels above him.
OOOOH!
His large form looked dazedly towards the scene in the sky as his body shot up once more, trying his best to reach their position again as the Trident of the Sea, Cages of Time, and glistening golden suns all ruthlessly rushed out from him, but they were all met with a simple set of words.
"Spatial Rupture."
RIIP!
Space was torn and folded as the ruptures reached Noah, blood flying out as five of his heads lost their light and became messy stumps of bones and gore.
BOOM!
His figure crashed back into the ground as he nearly fainted from the injuries, using the {Sin of Gluttony} to quickly heal himself by using the remaining Devoured origins he had in him, only three of his heads regenerating as he felt lingering power from the Law of Spacetime stopping anymore recovery.
He breathed heavily as he looked up the sky in fear.
Was this actually it?
A terrifying thought passed through his mind as he thought of the billions of lives he held on his shoulders. The Planetary Core of his home planet, as well as the other two planets he was connected to, could see all the events occurring as they looked on in silence.
Noah's eyes trembled at this reality as many thoughts passed through his head, the Devilish Time Unveiler above them taking his time as he ripped the limbs of Barbatos until she couldn't struggle anymore.
"Now that wasn't too hard, was it? Let me take back my partner now."
He spoke out nonchalantly as he turned the stump that was Barbatos to reach out behind her where he saw her place the dagger...and he found nothing. The dagger that he had seen this woman attach to her back was actually not there!
A surprised expression appeared on his face as he turned her around and found her laughing, blood leaking out of her mouth from her crushed neck as she mouthed out.
"F.u.c.k yo-"
SHLUCK!
He gave no respite as his hands crushed down and Barbatos's head separated from her body.
Noah slumped onto the ground as he saw this scene, his gaze unfocused as he did not know how to proceed. The Celestial beside him shook his head as he sighed, his heavily injured body that could barely move also slumping down on the ground.
Close to Noah, the figure of a simple skeleton that was among the many that were surrounding Barbatos appeared, its body slowly fading away as the life of its master was taken.
Noah felt this change as he turned to the side, a golden light nearly shining out of his eyes as from the bony hands of the fading skeleton, a gold and purple dagger lay. Its name appeared in front of his eyes in shining blue colors as he grasped it.
[Dagger of Time].
