Chapter 1041 Climax
*POW*
After taking the ten thousandth constant hit to the face, Max finally let go of the perfect warrior's neck, not because his hands had no strength or because the perfect warrior out powered him but because it was finally time for the constant regeneration move to expire.
"Ha-"
A wicked grin spread on Max's face as although he had his facial muscles feeling numb and unresponsive after the thorough beating, although his body felt like crap from funnelling so much destruction energy, Max smiled because he knew that his moment to fight back had finally come.
[ Omniscient Future Sight ]
[ Mind Reader ]
The very second that Max let go of the perfect warrior's neck, he activated omniscient future sight and mind reader as he was ready to make the final push.
—--------- reality break —----------
*SWOOSH*
Almost instantly as Max let the perfect warrior go, he had his head decapitated as the perfect warrior seemed poised to take his head off with his spear.
Thankfully Max was in the omniscient future sight loop and although he got killed relatively quickly the first time around, when the loop rewinded itself, Max was able to dodge the spear strike at the start as he used [ Blink ] to create some separation between himself and his opponent.
As Max got a good look at the perfect warrior's face from a distance, Max felt his heart beat stronger and thump louder as he recognised the familiar expression on his opponents face.
Max had often seen this look in the eyes of his opponents. It was a look of them losing hope, a look of them realising the dangerous situation they were in, a look of desperation and despair.
Some liked to describe it as the look of a cornered beast, however, Max liked to call it a look of fear!
Max soaked in that look of fear and etched it into his memory!
" This is it….. time to end this for once and for all-" Max said as he clapped his hands together and began funnelling Karmic Essence through his body.
" You think it's over? Although constant regeneration is over, I'm still at 100% HP and if I'm not wrong your own constant regeneration expires in roughly 6 minutes.
Yes, I'm cornered, however, if you think I can't defend myself against you for 6 minutes until the playing field levels itself again, then you have a whole another reality check waiting for you-" the perfect warrior said as Max paid no attention to his words and focused instead on casting his ultimate move.
[Perfect Domain - Celestial Disintegration] Max said as a domain expanded outwards from his body and enveloped the entire martial arena.
The perfect warrior stood on guard, ready to fight back against any attack that Max launched using his lance, however, unfortunately he had no chance to defend.
There was no flashy attack, there was no visible threat to fight back against, but still his HP began to drop rapidly as he began dissolving into the surroundings like sugar dissolved in water.
" What? What is this force? Why am I unable to fight back against it?" The perfect warrior wondered, however, it was of no use.
No matter how hard he tried, no matter if he shifted from an energy body to a physical body, he still kept dissolving into his surroundings, losing about 1% HP every second.
For the first 60 seconds. He tried hard to fight back against his fate, tried to heal himself using various spells and tried to conjure various counterattacks, however, he soon realised that within Max's domain he was utterly powerless.
In his last 40 seconds, a soft smile spread on his face as he looked carefully at Max's visage and etched it into his mind.
" You mastered the karmic laws after using them just once?" The perfect warrior said as he figured out the secret behind Max's move, however, was still in disbelief that he did it.
Max said nothing but only smiled in response as the perfect warrior could not help but feel envious of someone else's talent for the first time in his existence.
" What a monster…." He complimented, before dissolving into nothing, as Max received the proof of concept he was looking for.
—-------- reality return —--------
*SWOOSH*
Max ducked and used blink as practised and got away from the perfect warrior, who again took a fighting stance, just like in Max's vision.
" It's over…." The perfect warrior said as he read the text floating over Max's head using [ mind reader ] and for a second could not believe what he was staring at.
[Perfect Domain - Celestial Disintegration]
Max said as he used his strongest move, but for real this time as the perfect warrior began disintegrating into his domain just like his vision.
" 12 thousand four hundred and sixty three…. That's how long it took your universe to complete Sigma.
I did not think I'd ever seen the day when I'm defeated, but you proved me wrong.
I guess this universe does deserve to be a part of the tower" the perfect warrior said as he dropped his weapon and calmly put his hands behind his head.
" What tower?" Max asked, wondering what the perfect warrior was talking about as Rudra had not yet revealed to him about the realm that existed beyond the celestial world and the true reason behind why the perfect warrior needed to be defeated at all costs.
" Ha-, we will have fun the next time we meet Max Rajput, I promise to get this win back that time" Hercules said as Max frowned listening to his words.
" Pray you never meet me again, else I'll whoop your ass for a third time in a row" Max said as the perfect warrior's HP hit absolute 0, disintegrating his body to ashes.
" I did it!..... Hahaha I DID IT!" Max said as he deactivated his domain and dropped down to his knees from being completely exhausted.
Although what the perfect warrior said before dying did bother him, Max chose not to pay heed to it for now as at this moment the only thing that mattered was that he had managed to defeat the perfect warrior in a fair and square fight!
The supreme warrior of the universe, the one celestial who stood at a peak above the rest of the celestials.
The one opponent who even the mighty shakuni could not defeat was brought down by him in his very first attempt.
" I MAX RAJPUT.... I AM THE STRONGEST MAN TO BE BORN IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!
I HAVE REACHED THE SUMMIT OF POWER" Max said as he could not control his laughter and laughed like a maniac.
His male ego had achieved a next level of satisfaction now that he knew that he was the strongest being to have ever existed.
Everything he had gone through during his first life and after his reincarnation had seemingly paid off today as he had finally achieved everything there was to achieve in his second life.
Today, he felt like he had finally completed the game that he had started to play years ago and that he was finally staring at the end credit scene.
It was a truly wholesome moment, one which Max would never forget for as long as he lived.
" Hahaha…. Brother, Odin I've done my bit, the rest is up to you" Max said, as his body began disintegrating as well, dying from the Karmic Backlash of the incredible energy he used.
