Chapter 297
It was shaped like what appeared to be an extremely dense cluster of [Destruction Power], clustered in the vague form of a human.
But, it was much, much more, more than anyone could comprehend.
Therefore, it could only be described as something, as there were no words in any language, in use or dead, that could really describe what was there.
"Be honored King of Heroes, this is the first time in three centuries that I have assumed my 'True Form', the only one who had the same honor was Rizevim Livan Lucifer."
The thing spoke in a horrible mockery of Sirzechs voice, crystal clear even above the noise the world itself made as it shook with the force of that thing's presence , the space-time of the area distorting as it lost its cohesion.
The sounds that normally came out of the Crimson Lucifer's throat were soft, soothing and even melodious, befitting someone who had succeeded the Devil known as the Seducer of Mankind.
The voice of this thing, if it could be called that, was cold, dark, ominous, full of a supernatural power that sent shivers down your spine with every sound you made.
It was something that shouldn't even exist.
[So this is Maou Lucifer. An irregular among demons .... A real monster] in Gilgamesh's mind, Ddraig let out a sigh of admiration at the sight of Sirzechs form.
"Yes, that is not something that can be called a 'Demon', Devil that bears the name of the Morning Star, what are you?" asked Regulus from a small light in Gilgamesh's hand.
"... Honestly, I can't say. Ajuka and I are irregularities in this world, even more so than the Longinus Gears or Rizevim. Beings that should never have existed. Beings like us never existed before our birth, or since. We cannot even say with absolute certainty that we are demons. I suppose that is why the world has seen fit to crown us with the title 'Super Demons. "
The thing replied, the parts of its body that were probably its shoulders rising in an indifferent shrug at the Lion King's question.
"Young master, that power..." Arashi, the consciousness of Longinus [Zenith Tempest] manifested.
"Yes, there is no doubt that Sirzechs is much stronger than Crom Cruach, with that power... he is probably as strong as Indra or a little less" Gilgamesh said aloud.
This was just Gilgamesh's estimate, but it was said that Indra was so strong that it would take the Four Great Maous to even come close to his power.
And Sirzechs power certainly surpassed Crom Cruach easily, it was safe to say that Sirzechs was in that form and with the accumulated power he was almost as strong as Indra, or even as strong as him.
Gilgamesh was sure, at that moment Sirzechs was stronger than him.
Soon Gilgamesh turned his attention to Sirzechs who stepped forward.
The moment Sirzechs' foot touched the ground the whole area began to disintegrate.
"I cannot control my power in this form, even more so with this extra power, so I cannot stay in it for long, lest I harm the world itself. I apologize, Gilgamesh, but I will have to end this in a moment."
The thing announced as it raised what appeared to be a hand.
A black mass began to form at the tip of the finger, growing rapidly and getting infinitely darker as the [Power of Destruction] compressed into a spherical shape.
Gilgamesh observed the volleyball-sized orb that had taken on a shade of black darker than the night itself, a black star of annihilation, bits of debris scattered around the area pulling toward it the gravitational force increased.
But just as the black star seemed to have reached critical mass, possessing such absolute gravity that even Gilgamesh had to resist to avoid being pulled toward it, another change occurred.
A black darkness devoured the area, plunging them into a realm of total darkness.
It was then, that with a single wave the black star of annihilation was thrown at Gilgamesh.
The black sphere of destruction surged forward annihilating everything in its path as it advanced towards Gilgamesh.
Seeing the star of destruction advancing towards him, Gilgamesh that all he could do was strengthen his [Susanoo].
A huge ethereal shield appeared in front of Gilgamesh as his [Susanoo] wielded it to protect himself.
It was one of the treasures of Gilgamesh's [Susanoo], the [Mirror of Yata], a spirit weapon that was endowed with the five transformations of nature and could neutralize any attack.
However, the moment it collided with the black star of destruction, the shield gave way.
Gilgamesh's eyes widened as he saw his shield completely annihilated.
The [Mirror of Yata] could nullify any attack referring to the natural elements, but this was not true for an attack that was basically destruction incarnate.
Seeing his shield being completely annihilated and the [Power of Destruction] beginning to consume his [Susanoo] Gilgamesh quickly jumped out of his defense.
All he saw was his "Absolute Defense" being completely annihilated by Sirzechs' power that completely consumed it.
Before Gilgamesh could react Sirzechs, or the thing that took his place, had sprung up in front of the King of Heroes as his fist covered in pure [Power of Destruction] struck Gilgamesh.
All the King of Heroes could do was put his arms up defensively and activate his [Armament Haki] so that he could protect himself from the attack.
Even so Gilgamesh was hit and was sent flying into a mountain.
Gilgamesh's body crashed against the rocks as he destroyed part of the mountain.
Gilgamesh grunted in pain, not only from the blow, but also from the fact that the [Power of Destruction] had injured him. The skin covering Gilgamesh's arms had been destroyed, exposing his nerves to the open air and causing the King of Heroes to narrow his eyes.
Soon blue flames covered his arms while in an instant Gilgamesh regenerates all his wounds with the power of [Tori Tori no Mi].
"I would advise you to give up soon Gilgamesh, your current power is no match for me"
Sirzechs said in his twisted voice as he hoped Gilgamesh would give up soon.
However the answer Sirzechs got was not what he expected.
"Give up? Do you think I would lose so easily Sirzechs?!" shouted Gilgamesh.
Divine power exploded from the demigod's body as the entire mountain around him was totally annihilated by the sheer power, and even the darkness of Sirzechs' power was forced to retreat for a moment.
"This battle is not over until one of us falls dead!" shouted Gilgamesh as his animation was at an all-time high.
How long had it been since he had felt like this in a fight?! When had he not been wounded like this?
This is what he wanted, a battle where he would be pushed to the limit, where his flesh danced and his blood boiled, where it was kill or be killed.
That's what he really wanted, there was no way he was going to let it end this way.
Seeing that, Sirzechs sighed.
"I see, so you first then."
With a wave of Sirzechs hand a huge beam of pure [Power of Destruction] shot out at Gilgamesh.
