Apotheosis

Buzz...

The downgrader was born anew within the black light.

The symbolic six pairs of compound eyes were set ablaze by a striking purple light that flickered from time to time, which represented his confusion.

When he regained his senses, he realized that the world had become nothing like he imagined it would be.

From the highest-grade world all the way to this low-grade world, the only worthy adversary he had that matched his standard of strength was Clarence. Then where did these two come from?

"I don't care how powerful you are. It doesn't change the fact that you're destined to get destroyed to the point of oblivion!" The downgrader scorned resentfully as his body remained camouflaged under the black light.

As the battle between the Evil God and Zen raged on, the Wall World continued to shake and expand rapidly.

Within the short span of an hour, the Wall World underwent an extreme expansion from the range of ten provinces to the size equivalent to that of the Source World. As time continued to pass by, the rate of expansion grew exponentially.

Buzz!

The Evil God slowly grew weary with this form of hand to hand combat that ceased to reach a conclusive end.

He suddenly retreated to a fair distance and soared into the sky as he leaped to an incredible height of about one hundred million feet. As he continued to ascend, his mind was a cluster of countless thoughts rushing to be heard all at the same time.

Suddenly, huge runes appeared at the top of the chaos, and one hundred thousand thunder dragons manifested in the form of energy started to rain down on Zen from those runes.

Clatter, clatter, clatter...

Each thunder dragon harnessed a formidable strength that was ten thousand times stronger than that of the ending needle. The energy aura that was released by these thunder dragons alone held the capability to destroy everything in the chaos.

Zen's eyes narrowed as they fell on the approaching calamity. He prepared himself and gave his hand a slight wave in the direction of the fairy palace. Upon this gesture, a formidable shield was constructed around the fairy palace. Without this shield, the fairy palace would have been rendered vulnerable and eventually perished if it were enveloped by the dominating aura of energy.

After all the preparations were done, Zen extended his finger towards the top of the chaos.

"Annihilation Coke!"

Since the Evil God had utilized the Creation Coke to inject vitality into these thunder dragons, Zen had used the Annihilation Coke to lay waste to them.

Through the Annihilation Coke, he constructed countless gray needles that directed themselves towards the thunder dragons.

Each needle was the size of a thumb, and they were no different from the ones used for the purpose of sewing. However, the power contained within these needles was on par with that possessed by the thunder dragons. Once these needles pierced through the bodies of the thunder dragons, they would perish in an instant. With Zen's technique, even the threatening thunder dragons were vulnerable as though they were insignificant obstructions in his path.

"Weak attacks like these are no match for me. The only way we can counter the downgrade is for you to return to my body voluntarily. Otherwise, we'll all die here, together with all the worlds, and there will be no chance to reverse the situation," Zen spoke in a hushed voice, trying to persuad

ng, he immediately employed the spatial transference.

Buzz...

As a result, the figure of the Evil God began to blur out. Just as he was about to escape from this area, a stable space appeared where he stood.

Bang!

Caught off guard from its sudden appearance, he crashed into the square space causing his body to stagger back a few steps. The spatial transference failed as he was interrupted midway.

"Damn it! Once again!"

the Evil God roared as he felt his growing anxiety consume his body and cloud his judgments. Without wasting another moment, he gritted his teeth and employed all of his energy to use the spatial transference a second time.

Boom!

The limited strength he had left in him was insufficient to shake the square space.

"Don't even try, as no amount of energy will break you out of there. You won't be able to move from here," Zen said as he slowly descended towards the Evil God with his arms crossed above his chest.

Taking advantage of the flowing energy to deal with the Evil God was a technique even Clarence couldn't think of, but it proved to be effective in the end.

The Evil God hung his head loosely from his neck as a shadow hovered over his face and hid his expressions. He remained silent for a while as he took his time to process the situation. Suddenly, he raised his head, and a mischievous smile stretched across his face as he laughed while staring Zen dead in the eye. "Hahaha! You got me. I'll admit that it is pretty unexpected of you to pull a method like that. You almost managed to defeat me. You've always been the only person I admire for as long as I can remember. However, unfortunately..."

"What do you mean?" Zen retorted immediately to ask what he meant.

"Unfortunately for you, I lost a finger..."

the Evil God said with his signature smile overflowing with malice. He raised his hand that was missing his index finger and waved it near Zen's face mockingly. Immediately after, his body collapsed on its own.

Meanwhile, in another void of the chaos, an index finger rapidly regenerated and slowly formed human features. Within a few moments, it grew from a finger to a hand, an arm, a body, a head until it evolved into a complete human being with all limbs attached.

Another perfect Evil God was reborn.
