When Arima plunged inside the massive gathering of life force, he imdiately activated his life hunt. He then started absorbing without any inhibition. Ultimately, he wasn't able to contain all of that energy at once and died for the third ti in his life.
*******************************************
"Wow, I honestly didn't think you would be able to get here again. So, you were transmigrated, huh?" A voice reached him and Arima instantly woke up. He looked around with a weird expression.
He was in a dark space, with almost no light to speak of. In front of him, a mirror version of himself was calmly smiling at him. Arima sighed and facepald.
"Ah, I rember now. So, I really died that day" He muttered and stood up
"Hi, by the way," Arima glanced at his right and said. He directed that greeting to the three ters tall skeleton next to him.
"Yeah, yeah, hi..." The skeleton answered with an uninterested voice. He was quite disappointed to have failed taking over Arima before the Life Judgnt could begin.
"Be a little more enthusiast. We'll beco stronger after this. There's also a war going on outside," Arima uttered and his evil clone clicked his nonexistent tongue.
"Stop jesting, you damn cunt. I'll most likely be absorbed by you before we can leave this place," the purple flas in his eyes burned stronger as he spoke.
Arima laughed. "Of course, you damn Skeletor. I seriously thought you were going to overpower earlier. Your disappearance will be a relief," he retorted and sparks appeared between the two.
"{Hum, should we say sothing?}" Karma asked Night awkwardly.
"{Nah, it's okay. It's fu- I an, we just should continue watching, yeah.}"
"Ahem," Arima's 'reflection' coughed to get the attention of the two. "We're in the middle of sothing right now. Please. Stop fighting."
"We're not fighting," Arima and the skeleton exclaid at the sa ti.
"Skeletor started it," Arima added.
Skeletor snarled. "I'm fine with being called by so na but choose another one."
Arima mused and looked at the big guy with a blank expression. "Malum."
"" The skeleton stared at Arima speechlessly. "why did you suddenly give a decent na?"
"Well, I'm sure you know 'Malum' ans 'Evil', right? I couldn't help myself but give you a na so good fitting," Arima replied.
"Sure, fine. I'll take it," Malum nodded and took up his new na.
"Can we start now?" The reflection's eyebrows were twitching at the mont.
"What? Do you want a na too?" Malum turned toward the reflection and smirked. The latter beca even more infuriated.
"{What's wrong, Night?}" Karma asked as she kept hearing so weird noises.
"{I-I'm fine.}"
As the three Arima's were talking to each other, Night was trying his best to not burst out laughing at the irony of the situation.
*****************************************
When Arima disappeared into the huge sphere, the 'zombies' he had created before didn't fall and continued to attack the closest living beings. It seed that the pentagram on the ground was constantly powering them.
Azes joined the battle against Baphot as Gabriel told him.
"I don't need your help though," Zeus snorted the mont Azes landed beside him.
Azes smiled and gathered mana in his hand. "I'm sure of that. But let's do this carefully, shall we?"
"You're pretty relaxed, Azes," Baphot shouldered his sword and comnted. "Are you sure you can win against ? You're the God of Order, your combat strength isn't enough to face ."
"Do you think so?" Azes grinned and the formless mana in his hand turned into a long scroll that touched the ground as it unrolled. "My domain isn't only ant to observe and guide the world," he paused. "I can also dictate the rules."
A line of words written on the scroll vanished from the paper and Zeus abruptly disappeared. Baphot panicked a bit and narrowed his eyes as he moved his sword to protect his back. Zeus' hamr struck the blade and lightning fell from the sky.
The earth around was dug and Baphot even beca the center of a crater. But he hadn't moved even a bit from the blow.
"Tch, you're needlessly tough. I expected you to fly away," Zeus complained and Baphot turned around in a fraction of a second, he kicked Zeus away. But after he did so, Zeus' figure that went flying cracked like a mirror and dispersed. In the next instant, thunder rumbled stronger and nurous bolts of lightning struck Baphot.
The Evil God grunted as he tackled the lightning head-on with his body and glared at Azes who was looking from afar. He sent another wave of red energy to scatter the lightning and kicked the ground to charge at Azes.
"That's an interesting magic, as much as it is annoying," Baphot remarked as he swung his organic sword vertically. Azes' eyes glowed and another line left the scroll. An invisible barrier appeared in front of him and blocked the Evil God's sword.
The shockwave produced by Baphot's single strike changed the landscape once again and even so devils and angels fighting far way were affected.
Azes smirked. It was as if stopping the sword didn't require any effort. "My unique magic, Heaven's Scroll. I obtained it after thousands of years spent on researching my domain," he stated and Baphot frowned.
He lifted his sword again. But this ti it was to block Zeus's sneak attack. Baphot inhaled strongly and howled. His voice carrying the feeling of death and despair washed over the battlefield. Both Zeus and Azes were forced to freeze by pure instinct.
Zeus gritted his teeth as he was truly kicked this ti and Azes used up more lines to teleport away before Baphot's wave of darkness could hurt him.
He then slid his finger on scrolled and three lines disappeared at once. The earth trembled and for tens of miles around them, the stone turned into giant spikes that simultaneously targeted Baphot.
Zeus also made his move and clasped his hands together. His body began to emit a dangerous amount of lightning and his appearance gradually changed. His clothes transford into pure energy and his height also grew. He pointed his hamr at the sky and lightning congregated into a single point amidst the clouds.
A large pillar made of silvery lightning fell on Baphot just before he was assaulted by the earth spikes.
Baphot dropped his sword and beca surrounded by a thick and ominous dark smoke that consud the lightning within a second.
As for the spikes, Baphot crushed it with his bare hands. A pentagram on his chest glowed red and an incalculable number of dark spears materialized above him. He flicked his fingers and the spears moved incredibly fast as they flew toward Azes and Zeus.
The forr used up two more lines to conjure a big sun above him that dispelled all of the spears aiming at him. Zeus roared and destroyed the spears with his own ranged magic.
After that, Azes took the occasion and burned up five more lines. White chains erged from the ground and surrounded Baphot before binding him.
"Zeus!"
"You don't have to tell !" The God of Lightning turned into his own attribute and arrived in front of Baphot while literally holding a lightning bolt. His eyes flashed and he thrust the bolt at Baphot's chest.
The lightning bolt impaled the Evil God and Zeus shouted, "Now!"
Azes nodded and the number of words on his scroll decreased. Both him and Zeus were teleported away while the chains that were binding Baphot coiled around the bolt of lightning planted in his chest.
Baphot growled and tried to pull it out but chains made it impossible to do so in ti. Thunder roared and an explosion occurred with Baphot at its center. The explosion made from lightning and light magic spread for hundreds of miles and razed everything.
A minute later, the explosion was finally over. The crater created then was empty and lightning would still appear from ti to ti. Azes and Zeus were paying attention to their surroundings as to not be surprised.
But they couldn't react in ti as a black portal ford just behind them, and from which, a fist surfaced and punched Zeus. The Lightning God coughed blood and was sent crashing on a mountain afar. Six pentagrams designed a cage around Azes afterward before exploding into the shape of a red star.
"That wasn't half-bad. But don't tell you forgot my main ability."
Baphot stepped out of the portal and the state of his body could have petrified anyone. Half of his upper body was inexistent and his organs along with his bones were exposed.
"First-degree immortality" Zeus grunted as he stood up among the debris.
"That's annoying" Azes also complained before taking his distance.
"{Stop ssing around you two,}" Gabriel's voice resounded in their heads as she cast a heal on both of them. "{Focus on sealing him. You can't kill the Occult God like that!}" She proceeded to lecture them as they went back to fight Baphot. "{Also, Azes,}" she called him in a private link.
"{What!? I'm kinda busy right now!}" Azes replied as he crushed Baphot's surroundings with gravity.
"{I know you're a friend of that Life Hunter. What are you trying to do?}"
"{Can we have this discussion later!?}" Azes responded as he parried Baphot's sword that was about to cleave Zeus in half.
"{Of course! I don't care about that anyway! But don't you have at least a way to make those zombies stop attacking our side too?! It's really putting our troops at a disadvantage. The angels have a hard ti hurting the remains of their fallen comrades compared to the devils!}"
"{Like hell I know! Ask him yourself when he's back. Maybe if you promise him that you won't chase him for his life, maybe he will accept!}"
"{That's another matter altogether! You know that Life Hunters beca Heaven's enemy a long ti ago for their deicide! It's not sothing I can change myself!}" Gabriel retorted as she healed her troops.
"{I know! That's why it's not the mont to be talking about this! Anyway, I can't interfere with or modify his magic. Ask Lanya or Zesta, maybe they have an idea. Maybe Kerberos could do it too- oh shit!}" Azes cut the link to escape from a massive ray of red energy.
The holy maiden clicked her tongue and looked at her left. She was able to see thousands of miles away if she wanted to. But even without that, she could still see Chulainn fighting far way thanks to his size.
"Even if you tell that, they won't listen to and Kerberos is taking care of Utain right now. If the Destroyer joins the fray, our side will suffer even more," the seraphim grumbled.
"Ahh, God! Why is a war going on now?! I didn't sign for this!" The archangel complained like a child and she seed to be on the verge of crying.
"What is she doing?" Michael muttered with blank eyes when he glanced at her. He wasn't that far from her so he could see her expression.
"Don't look away!" Satan shouted and hacked at Michael with his two swords. The angel blocked them with his spear and released a wave of light energy to fend him off. Just after that, Lucifer attacked him with a black and white ray of magic.
Michael shook his head and slashed the wave as if he was cutting a physical object. He shouldered his spear and gazed at his opponents. He was quite irritated at first, but now he only felt pity for them.
"Your teamwork is feeble and both of you are weaker than . This is just sad."
"Shut up!" Satan cut him off and resud his onslaught.
Michael shrugged. "Fine. If that is what you want," he wielded his spear like a whirlwind and took a stance. "Prepare yourself!"
