Shuttling Between the Two Worlds

Despair.

When the feeling of helplessness strikes, just how strong should someone be to withstand it? Will they give in to despair because they're too weak to do something? Will they charge against it even though they know that they'll lose?

The residents of the Alliance World, they've already despaired enough. The relentless attacks of zergs are wearing them down bit by bit. In the end, they decided to go down the "hopeful route".

'Damn it. Damn it. DAMN IT!'

"SUPPRESS!"

The remaining Deities used the <<Heaven's Suppression>> technique together with the enhancement from the group array. In its enhanced form, the golden shackles can entangle a Peak Deity!

Still, the Life Assimilator only took 3 seconds before it melted the golden chains.

"It's useless! Everything you do is futile, so just stand still!"

It proceeded to use a space restraint skill, freezing one of the Deities responsible for controlling the array. Then, there's no after. It suddenly appeared beside her and covered her whole body.

In response to this, Vera decided to teleport the entire group away from it. They covered a distance of 100,000km right away.

"Leader, nothing works on it!"

"It took damage with our Origin Powers, but that's it. Its characteristics are extremely similar to a ghoul-type undead."

Their confrontation already happened 5 times. During that time, they got some general understanding of its capabilities at the cost of their 5 comrades. In fact, all of their confrontations are similar to the one just now.

They cast a single spell, it appears beside them, and they run away. It acted as if it was only playing with them. To Vera, that behavior is extremely unacceptable.

'You treat my comrades like ants! You act as if their life is worth nothing!'

Computations ran through their minds. Heaven's Force attacks work at it and cause damage, but it wouldn't give it a fatal injury. Their situation is almost the same as attacking a magic-resistant enemy with magic.

It also has a strong corrosive and regenerative power and has exhibited a skill that allows it to recover to full status instantly. When it does, its face changes.

With that, they deduced that the 'assimilated' ones can be used as a decoy when it sustains damage. Moreover, it can use the assimilated one's traits and techniques as well.

It's very much a one-man army.

This time, it blasted a concentrated light beam towards them. Summoning a blue barrier to stop it, the group prepared to teleport once again.

However, the Life Assimilator caught up to them.

"Go away!"

Dozens of blade strikes went towards it, but it absorbed every single strike, much like punching a slime.

"Futile."

She got covered by it so suddenly, not even having the time to scream.

It was about to assimilate with her completely when a huge light blue sword slashed toward it. Seeing this attack, it felt fear from the deepest of its existence. It got away quickly, not minding that Song Er's soul is in the hands of the assailant.

'That...!'

It quickly got away by using its teleportation power. Though it got away, the lingering fear that it felt existed.

"What is that?!"

"Die."

The man, Lugh, spoke. With his full power, he unleashed a series of sword strikes with the help of the huge blue sword. Together with the buff and the rune's power, it unleashed a terrifying set of attacks on it.

Unlike its previous appearance, it looks vastly different right now.

The sword, which is made up of blue light, has a much larger edge at the end of its blade. Light in the shape of the sun's rays are attached to the semi-circle handguard. It symbolized the dawn after the darkness dissipates.

This is the Apocalypse Extermination Weapon Series "Eternal Order".

"Kuaak!"

As soon as it got hit by "Eternal Order", it showed reactions similar to a vampire being sliced with silver. Its body dissipated into smoke as it desperately tried to get away from Lugh.

The Life Assimilator's face kept changing as it mitigated the damage brought by those blows.

"Hit? It worked!"

"What's that sword..?"

As they saw his sword deal damage in a single blow, they got surprised. The undying monster that they were helpless to is being pushed back by a Demigod?

'Few more seconds... I will make sure to deal with this during this blow.'

He started utilizing the technique that he used before, <<Space-Time Mystic Sword Movement>>.

'Before, it allowed me to kill a Demigod as a Law-Realm. Now that I'm at Demigod Realm and the damage that this sword can deal against it, I'll be able to kill him.'

Lugh removed the doubts in his mind as he stared at the now-scared Life Assimilator from afar.

"No, no! This shouldn't be like this! Why did someone like you appear here?"

The Life Assimilator spit out crucial information one after another. If it was before, he definitely wouldn't have done this, but he felt the scythes of death close to his neck.

Swooosh!

He slashed in its direction in a normal way. Even the spectating group couldn't feel anything from it.

Unbeknownst to them, what he slashed isn't thin air, but the past phantom of the Life Assimilator. Once it sustains damage, its present self will be affected as well. If it was killed, it'll turn into dust.

"I see. It's definitely-"

As it turned to ashes at a fast rate, it muttered out its last words.

"-the Order."

[Eliminated successful. Storing the leftover @#$c%^p2i2 presence in the database...]

[Activate?]

2 huge prompts containing the possible rewards showed up in front of Lugh, but he has no chance to be shocked at them as he lost his consciousness.

'Big sis, I'm feeling sleepy...'

'Little Xue?'

Along with him, Little Xue turned back into its normal appearance before falling asleep. The <<Chaos Fiendcelestial Sword>> stabbed deep into the group as it fell from the sky together with Lugh.

"Junior!"

"Lugh!"

Vera and Irna flew quickly to catch him. Fortunately, there's no more Apocalypse chasing after them so they went there without any worries.

Due to her higher rank, Vera is the one who caught Lugh. Looking closely at him, she remembered what Commander Lucia told her.

"He's a man of secrets. You can rely on him at times."

"Man of secrets?"

"That's what Uncle told me when he asked to take care of him."

'A man of secrets? I think I understand..'

She immediately sent out a command to the team, withholding the grief that she was feeling due to the aftermath. On the way, she picked up his sword, and surprisingly, it merged with his Armor.

"Gate!"

""Ha!""

The remaining Deities started casting the array. After a while, they've finally successfully cast it. Thinking that there might be other Apocalypses as strong as that one, they hastily left the distortion plane.
