[177th Return!]

[Zero's POV!]

Appearing right behind that demonic fate weaver, Laplace, I tried punching him as hard as I could. I even used a bit of the power of Abnormality.
However,
"That's such a nice power! You could use it in so many conditions! How many restrictions have you unlocked again?" He spoke with excitement as he dodged all my attacks with minimal movements.
Each of these punches could destroy cities and towns. Each of these was fast enough to give a hard time, even to the fastest monsters I have met. Yet, he was dodging them so easily, without sparing even a moment of effort.
"You know. You could improve a bit more in the speed department? Though even if you succeed in hitting me, you won't do much. I am an immortal after all," he spoke as he moved around me, while I kept trying to hit him.
'I know I am not giving my all given there are too many people watching but… it's still too much.'
Narrowing my eyes at him, I kept trying to hit him while increasing my power bit by bit.
If I go all out, I will end up destroying everything around me.
'Well. Let's start with something effective then,' I thought as I added a bit of the power of [Invariable Abnormality!] into my attacks.
"Can you… not underestimate me, please?"
Putting a bit of my strength in agility, I move my fist towards Laplace. It wasn't as much of an attack as a touch. Though the effect itself was something else.
He dodged it with ease as usual before he smiled and began speaking.
"So as I was saying-"
-BOOOM!!!
And there he goes, being thrown away, as my attack touches him as it should. An attack that you cannot dodge. It was a power that I got after getting my 3rd restriction removed, allowing me to land an attack even if I don't touch the target.
Laplace was thrown about a kilometer away, while I stood there putting a few more strength in my arm with added [Invariable Abnormality!], and then punching an uppercut in the air right in front of me.
-BOOOM!!!
And Laplace gets thrown in the air above as my punch hits him, immediately pushing him up. I saw his body flying up before pausing in the air.
My eyes narrowed at him, as I prepared for another punch, but before I could move my arm forward with a strong punch this time…
"That's good. But you should stop." He held my elbow with his arm, as he appeared right behind me. Alarmed, I immediately turned around before I pulled another attack filled with [Invariable Abnormality!]
-BOOOM!!!
Though this time, he stood there, taking all that damage to his face. The attack did reach his face, causing severe burns. However, in the next moment, all those burns got healed within an instant as he looked at me with the same smile as before.
"Amusing. Such amusing powers," he mumbled as he put his hand on his chin and began observing me.
-BOOM!! X 3
-BOOM! X 14
-BOOOM! X 24
-BOOOM!! X 28
All my attacks connected, along with me using a quarter of my powers. Though he simply stood there, this time taking all those attacks without taking even a single step back.
"You are trained like a wild beast. And you are trained very well, I must say. But you shouldn't get drunk on your power," he said to me as he raised his hand towards me, before proceeding to flick my forehead.
-BOOOM!!!
And as soon as he did that, he was thrown at least a dozen kilometers away. It wasn't that I attacked him, but I used another one of my powers. The ability to reflect any attack, 10 times the one that has been directed at me.
I achieved it after getting my 4th restriction removed.
"Fucking bastard." I wiped the sweat from my forehead before calming myself, using one of the most powerful spells I got from the Monster King of the North. The ability to remove all fatigue and heal up to prime health in an instant.
Laplace wasn't the only one who could heal back in an instant.
"Nicely done-"
-BOOOM!!!!
He appeared right beside me again, but this time I already predicted where he would come from and attacked with at least half of my attack. Though he stopped all of it, as he held my fist in his hand.
"Now. Show me more. What else can you do?" He spoke as he observed me while I looked at him. I could use my [World Magic!] but I don't want to waste it here. I still have to use it against someone else after all this is over. One of the primordials that Luciana just told me about.
'On that note, where is Luciana?'
As if waiting for me to remember her, Luciana appeared right behind Laplace, with her eyes narrowed at him. From what I remember, she still hasn't answered what Laplace asked her before. And also, where is that angel?
"What is your purpose here, Laplace?" Luciana asked as she looked at him. And as annoying as it always was, Laplace smiled at her with a wink once again. Then he answered,
"Come on, darling. Didn't I already tell you what I want? The End of the World!"
"I don't mind. But can't you wait first for 'him' to try everything?" Luciana spoke as she once again reminded Laplace of the first weaver. Though Laplace's face turned sour as he spoke.
"He has taken far too much time. At this point, even he should know that it's inevitable. There is nothing we can do against those primordials. Come with me Luciana. If you and I work together, we can surely destroy this world and create one where we get everything we want."
Luciana narrowed her eyes at him, but before she could answer, the entire atmosphere froze for a brief moment. My heartbeat rose, as I felt a huge threat coming from the dark dimension. And the reason became clear as a voice resounded in my ears.
