All of Helmond rose, as Odin extended one hand.
Then, with the other hand, the Lord of the Great Ones pointed upward ..
and the sky itself collapsed down upon Agaroth.
The entire sky transformed into a colossal force of destruction,
emptied in its entirety upon the Demon King’s head.
That single action alone unleashed a cataclysmic earthquake that reshaped all of Helmond’s terrain,
causing demons everywhere to scream in terror.
And yet ..
despite an attack unlike anything ever witnessed ..
the Demon King reappeared before Odin,
without a single visible injury.
Agaroth laughed loudly as the pressure around him intensified.
"I see you still cling to your bizarre tricks, you filthy thing,"
he said, clasping both hands together and unleashing a vast torrent of overwhelming power.
In less than a second, the Demon King merged:
Shadow Power
Dark Soul
Death Soul
Three world-breaking abilities ..
combined into a single attack ..
launched directly at Odin.
Before that infinite darkness and cursed power ..
Odin did not take a single step back.
He remained motionless as the darkness swallowed him whole.
The void spread uncontrollably from the sheer quantity of aura Agaroth released,
until even the white sky was completely stained black.
And yet ..
from within the darkness .. Odin emerged unscathed.
"There is no value in your pitiful struggle, Demon King,"
Odin said in the same arrogant, indifferent tone .. as though the being before him were nothing more than a trivial opponent.
"Your attacks will never reach me, no matter how hard you try."
Agaroth did not waver.
Instead, he released a colossal wave of aura that shook all of Helmond.
"We’ll see about that."
The Demon King roared.
Then his body exploded once more ..
and dozens of copies appeared.
All of them surrounded Odin, encircling him completely.
By fulfilling certain conditions, Agaroth could use the Soul of Reincarnation at 100% efficiency,
without any copy losing even a fraction of its power.
Thus, the clones trapped Odin and attacked simultaneously.
Each copy unleashed at least one world-breaking ability.
Some used Soul Power.
Others employed entirely different abilities.
Several copies altered their forms ..
twisting into grotesque, nightmarish shapes that seemed torn straight from hell itself.
All of it ..
every last ounce of that madness .. was hurled at Odin from every direction.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The destructive range of the Demon King ..
the sheer, catastrophic power he released ..
the result was beyond horrifying.
A disaster by every possible definition.
The elite demons all surged forward, releasing everything they had,
desperately trying to contain the destruction and prevent Helmond from being erased.
Explosions followed one after another,
as though thousands of nuclear weapons had detonated simultaneously.
Amid all that devastation ..
Odin extended his hand, his expression twisting into something monstrous.
"Allow me to return the favor, Demon King!"
With a simple gesture .
all the destructive forces and attacks Agaroth had unleashed
were drawn into Odin’s palm,
condensing into a chaotic, multicolored mass of annihilation.
Then ..
with blinding speed—
Odin thrust his hand forward, firing that chaos back at Agaroth.
The chaotic artillery of aura devoured multiple copies of the Demon King at once,
ripping apart the sky from the sheer force of its passage.
But—
that was only the beginning.
The Demon King tore through everything, appearing directly before Odin,
his fist swinging with the absolute maximum power he could muster.
At the same instant ..
Odin threw his own punch.
The fists collided.
Space itself trembled.
The world shook in its entirety.
little by little ..
the Pale Devastation overwhelmed the Demon King’s darkness.
For the first time ever ..
Agaroth lost a contest of absolute power.
Odin forced him back once again.
As the Demon King was pushed away, his body ignited in pitch-black flames.
Yet Agaroth’s eyes never left that pale entity standing before him.
And then .. without any warning at all ..
Agaroth’s face twisted as he extended his hand toward Odin.
At that very moment, Odin’s expression changed for the first time .. when he sensed something... wrong.
The aura surging from Agaroth’s arm was not ordinary.
It was something else entirely.
Dark aura and world-breaking abilities began to interlock ..
to fuse and merge completely ..
until an entirely new force was born.
A transcendent aura.
A chaotic, overwhelming power.
Something without equal in the entire world.
Agaroth manipulated that force, unleashing it toward Odin as he roared with a thunderous voice:
"The Purifier!"
In that instant, it was as if the gates of hell had been torn open
and the trumpets of the apocalypse had sounded.
That mass of devastation expanded, devouring everything in its path ..
sky and earth, space and dimensions, all things without exception.
A cursed attack that erased everything indiscriminately ..
a power that should never exist in the hands of a living being.
The strike surged straight toward Odin,
who stood amid his pale power, shock clearly etched across his face.
Then ..
the moment came.
The darkness of the Purifier collided with Odin,
triggering an explosion greater than anything before it.
The Purifier’s force continued to expand and expand, attempting to swallow Odin whole.
The process lasted several long seconds ..
seconds that felt as though they would last forever,
seconds in which chaos reigned as it never had before.
But soon enough, it ended.
The darkness dissipated.
Silence fell once more.
And the result was revealed.
Beneath the stark white sky,
above the land of Helmond that had suffered beyond measure ..
all demons stared at the same place.
And the only thing that appeared on their faces ..the only feeling that seized their hearts ..
was despair.
The Blood Sorceress and the Cannibal ..
Izalith and Yosefka ..
both stared in disbelief at what they were witnessing.
"Impossible..."
Izalith whispered.
Odin had reappeared ..
without a single scratch on his body ..
holding a mass of black power in his hands.
Then, with a single motion ..
that darkness dispersed completely,
as though it had never existed.
"This is impossible!"
Izalith screamed, unable to comprehend it.
"That was the Purifier..."
The Blood Sorceress’s lips trembled as despair consumed her entirely.
"That was the very attack...
that killed Nameless."
Those words alone were enough to plunge every demon into despair.
