RUMBLE!

The eight heads of Yamata-No-Orochi rged with my body as I infused myself with the powers of the Demons and my other Elental and Draconian Abilities and Skills.

Until my body grew to a ridiculous size.

Using my massive hands, I grabbed her cannon before she could shoot and destroyed it.

BOOOM!

“W-What…?!”

“Let’s finish this, shall we?”

My body had changed, becoming a draconian and serpentine demonic giantess, encompassed by radiant crowns of light, and with a long snake-like tail.

“{Primordial Spiritual Body Transformation Arts}: {Heavenly Eight-Headed Serpent Demon Queen: Ibuki-Douji}”

Through the power of shapeshifting my body and absorbing the powers and essence of my technique, I was able to match her size, giving an easier ti dealing with her massive blows.

Although she had yet to deal actual damage to , I knew she had more tricks, and her massive body constantly regenerating made it pretty annoying to deal with her.

Therefore, making a larger body to punch her even harder might make things simpler.

And well, it’s fun.

I’m really having fun with this fight, so I want it to last even a little bit more.

My appearance was rather unique this ti; I mixed into my Demon Queen form with the manifested aura of Orochi and combined them with my body made of Photon Essence.

I gained four additional arms, white and golden scales covering several parts of my body, and long, white-colored horns covered on red blood-like tattoos.

The rest of my skin turned slightly red, and my legs were gone, replaced by a long tail with white, red, and black scales.

Orochi’s eight heads remained, now mixed with my silver-colored hair.

“H-How did you…?! You can transform?!”

The spider was clearly shocked, but I simply smiled, conjuring weapons out of my [Cursed & Blessed Blazing Starlight Relic Creation] and the [Divine Thunder Spirit Armant] Skills combined with my Divine Photon Essence, which now could gain the properties of molten tal.

Six weapons were made for all six of my enormous hands: a sword, a spear, an axe, a hamr, a dagger, and a trident. I unleashed a barrage of attacks she couldn’t tank anymore.

With the sword I sliced her arms, with the axe I cleaved her body, with the spear I pierced her eyes so she wouldn’t use her little tricks again, with the hamr I crushed her legs, with the dagger I slashed her neck repeatedly, and with the trident I pushed her away and then lifted her into the air.

The purple diamond and nether water body she had made was completely useless; I easily shaved it off her with ease, and although she constantly attempted to remake it, it was futile.

“Uuaaggghh!”

As she scread in agony, she tried conjuring her domain again, making it smaller and wrapping my body with it, as I noticed dozens of her reflections surging from the wrapped spiderweb-like domain and rushing to attack with their claws and spider legs.

“Hahahaha!”

I could only laugh; she was indeed a fine opponent, surprising every now and then! It felt like I was fighting the Venerables again back in Murim.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

I received her blows with my Soul Blade, releasing it by combining my Photon Essence with my own Orochi Aura. My hair moved on its own, shaping into blade-like snakes and clashing against her reflections.

Then, I pushed her down using my trident. Her sharp claws destroyed the weapon though, freeing herself even though the trident’s blades were still stuck in her stomach.

“Guuggh…! I-I can’t regenerate?!”

She glanced at her destroyed body; no parts were coming back anymore.

“I already told you, you will no longer play gas with , spider! Fight like your life depends on it now!”

TRUUUM!

I released my authority as the domain wrapped around like a spiderweb shattered into pieces. My snake heads, made out of my hair, reached her in that mont, biting through her arms and shoulders and taking chunks of her tallic body.

CRASH! CRASH CRASH!

“Aaarrgh! Nooo!”

She quickly twisted her body and then attacked with her remaining legs beneath her torso. Eight sharp-bladed spider legs reached my body, enhanced to the brim with several layers of divine aura.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

The hits were strong enough to make feel a slight amount of pain on my scales and skin. I smiled, quickly moving toward her and walloping her head with my hamr.

CRAAASH!

“Ungh?!”

As she fell to the ground with a loud thud, I quickly imbued my Divinity Aura into my tail and combined it with my Divine Ability and my Soul Blade, turning it into a long golden-bladed tail.

“It has been fun so far.”

“NOOO!”

She scread furiously as I noticed sothing surging from within her once more, the purple sands wrapping around her and fusing into her internal wounds, filling her cracks more and more.

“GRAAAHHH!!!”

Her entire body transford into a gigantic jaw with thousands of fangs, wrapping around like so sort of tallic sli covered in crystals.

“Hm?”

“If I die here, you’ll die with !”

With a malicious laughter, she began to charge her body with all her Primal Divine Aura at once, all while summoning her Domain again. As weakened as it was, it twisted space and rged with her body.

Dozens of her reflections appeared in that mont, attacking every inch of my body as they aid to hurt or damage even slightly.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Certainly, things would be more thrilling if you could even damage .” I sighed. “Unfortunately for you, this body of mine cannot be easily hurt.”

“GRAAAHHH!”

She kept screaming as she attacked , completely consud by her frustration and hatred, unable to comprehend or perhaps accept my superiority over hers.

Indeed, she cos from a world where there might be no other god than herself, or perhaps the others had never been a challenge to her.

Whatever the case,

“I don’t want the materials you have within you or the souls you’ve taken to go to waste,” I said. “You see, I’m sure my daughter and rneith would be upset if they were completely disintegrated. So let’s do this differently, alright?”

“W-Wha…?!”

I grasped her entire body tightly with all six of my arms, then wrapped her with my long tail and my snake-like hair, and then…

“I’ll purify you, dear,” I smiled.

I harnessed all of my Primordial Venerable Ki into my physique and released all of my light-based power at once, turning into the embodint of luminescence.

“W-What…?! What are you doing! What are…?!”

“I am Light.”

“Huh?!”

FLAAASH!

“And like light itself, I shall purify you from these tals and these souls, begone, evil goddess! You do not belong here!”

“AAAAAGGGHHH!”

Her scream echoed across the entire planet as my glistening, holy light encompassed her entire body completely.

The dark purple and black fog encompassing all our surroundings instantly dissipated as all her tiny little spider machines imdiately burst into golden flas.

As for her body, it was losing its black and dark purple colors, going back to the forr gold of the chanical Gods she was made of.

“S-Stop…! STOOOP!”

As she kept screaming, I didn’t stop; I wrapped her with my powers and didn’t let go. My entire body beca nothing but purifying light.

“Goodbye, spider.”

I quickly materialized another Blade made out of my Body and Soul, attempting to swing it and cut through her soul to kill her once and for all.

Using my God Devouring Skills, I was already beginning to rapidly absorb her powers and devour her piece by piece.

The pain she felt was trendous, making her panic and scream.

“Aaahh! Noo! I won’t let you eat !”

However, she scread, and before I could kill her, she let go of her vessel, and her entire presence disappeared. She cut her own soul to leave a part for to absorb before escaping.

FLUOSH!

“Ah… Well, she got away.”

I attempted to track her down, but without a strong connection like the Gods had with the System that I could abuse, I was unable to find her.

However, I could still sense her sowhere… She has hidden within this world itself.

Sowhere.

“Mama! You did it!”

My thoughts were interrupted as I heard Hekita in the distance sitting over Anubis.

“Amazing! You defeated that thing!”

rneith was right by her side over Ra.

The spider machines were gone too, turned back to their previous forms.

Well, they were mostly all junk already.

Any person inside of them was long dead too.

“It seems to be the case.” I nodded. “Hmm! But what a ss this is! Look at all these parts. Is it even possible to repair them?”

“A-Ah!” rneith gasped. “The chanical gods…”

“Indeed, they all ended up being destroyed, reford, and then destroyed again,” I said. “Are they even “alive” like Ra and Anubis are? I wonder if they’ll regenerate back?”

“I-I have no idea,” said rneith. “Ra, can you talk now? Do you think they can be…?”

“rneith…”

Ra glared at the large pieces of tal and parts scattered across the sands.

“They’re dead. It’s impossible for them to reconstruct themselves.”

“D-Dead? But Gods cannot die! You are…”

“We can die… They had been crushed over… And over again. And their Cores were… Sucked dry of their Essence. They’re nothing but… tal pieces now, unfortunately.”

“Hmm… Indeed,” Anubis nodded. “chanical Gods… dead. Father… dead. Hmm, saddening feeling.”

“My stepmother also died,” said rneith. “Well, I killed her. I wish she could have been here though; if I could have captured her instead, maybe showing her to my father and making her confess her cris instead. Maybe that would’ve been more… much more satisfying, maybe.”

“I see…” I nodded.

“Mama, will you stay like a giant forever now?” wondered Hekita, glancing at my enormous body. “You’re HUGE!”

“Ah right…” I realized. “My bad.”

FLASH!

I returned to my original appearance, much smaller and compact. We landed on the floor, glancing over the large quantities of tal pieces everywhere.

We even noticed half of the head of Set around there, with the heads of the other chanical Gods miraculously intact. They looked damaged and oxidated.

“Everything is finally over, but… Why do I feel so sad?” sighed rneith. “The chanical Gods—they didn’t have any fault in these things. They were only used as tools. And even when we tried to reason with them, they would simply still obey their pilots.”

“Father… Set,” muttered Anubis. “He didn’t want to get along; he said I was a traitor.”

“Anubis…” Hekita caressed his giant tallic claws. “You’re not a traitor! You simply decided to fight for what you believe instead of being forced to do what you didn’t want to do!”

“Hekita…” Anubis would definitely be crying if he could. “Thank you… for being my first… friend.”

“Heheh! No problem!” Hekita smiled cutely, hugging his leg. “Let’s be best friends forever!”

“Yes…” Anubis smiled. “Forever best friends… Sounds good… I like the sound… of that.”

rneith glanced at Ra, who was standing there glancing at the graveyard.

“Ra, you’re my friend too?” She wondered, looking into the ground.

“I consider myself… more than friend…” Ra said. “Aren’t I… your family, princess?”

“Family… that’s right! We’re family!” rneith smiled.

“Hmm…”

As I glanced at the wasteland and noticed the other hunters already moving back to the city, I decided to try sothing.

“Let’s first gather all the tals; we wouldn’t want them to remain in here,” I said.

I pointed my right hand’s index finger into the sky.

“{Divine Photonic Magnetic Field}”

FLUOSH!

A magnetic field made of Divine Photon Essence erged, resembling a golden sphere above the skies, which quickly attracted all tals within the vicinity that I chose.

Eventually, the graveyard was cleared completely, leaving behind the destroyed remains of the corpses of the people that fought here.

It was a grueso sight.

I stored the tals inside my Inner Realm for the ti being.

“Although these people could be considered demonic cultivators as they were rather villainous, they do deserve a proper trial,” I nodded. “So let us give them a second chance… to be punished properly, shall we?”

“Oohh?!”

rneith gasped as she saw the bodies of all those that die rewind back to their original living appearances, and I returned their souls back where they belonged.

“You’re right, rneith,” I said. “Sotis just killing isn’t satisfying. Making people pay through the law and making them reveal their sins to the people that loved and trusted them… is much more satisfying. We will expose that woman to your father, and she will confess all her cris. Right, Neferteri?”

“A-Ah…! Where… Where am I?! What happened?” She kept crying. “D-Didn’t I die?!”
