77 Chapter 77

"Come! This battle will only end once I am satisfied!" Declaring his intentions like a madman the Jade Emperor did not wait for a response, his form instead flashing forward as their limbs once more clashed.

The vague crown atop Damian's head strengthened as his power grew once more, his fist undamaged as he effortlessly repelled the attack and shattered the god's kneecaps. The damage was restored in a nanosecond but that was enough for Damian.

Grabbing the deity by the beard Damian pulled him downward, his other arm pulling on the god's arm before it was removed from its socket, blood spurting into the sky. Laughing despite his wounds the Jade Emperor stole his arm back and smacked Damian with it like it was a bat.

Attempting to press his detached arm to its original spot the Jade Emperor was stopped by the chains wrapping around all his limbs. Firmly grasping the chains Damian spun around like a top, the enchained deity soaring through the air at blistering speeds.

Releasing the chains the god flew through the air like a falling star, his body crashing into the barrier just in time for Damian to kick him in the chest, his ribs instantly caving as his organs were sufficiently obliterated.

"Is this enough?" Damian asked, blood leaking from his nose and hot breath escaping his lips yet he was far from finished. The crown atop his head flickered between reality and imagination as Damian's power reached never before seen heights.

"Don't be so naive. A god is never out of cards to play!" Shouting excitedly the Jade Emperor's body melted, his flesh and bone turning into pure jade energy alongside his blade. Stomping on the god's skull nothing happened. It felt like he was a normal man kicking a mountain.

Unlike most god's true form the Jade Emperor did not personify something nor did he strengthen his control over his dominion. Just as Sirzechs became destruction or Ra became the sun in their true forms, the Jade Emperor had become pure divine energy.

Grasping Damon by the leg the Jade Emperor laughed like a madman as he spun Damian all around him before throwing the devil into his own barrier. Blood leaked from Damian's lips as his infinite energy attempted to heal the organs the strike had destroyed.

Ignoring his wounds Damian richoteed off the barrier like a spring, his fingers digging deep into the gods ethereal 'flesh' as jade green energy burnt his flesh, melting it off his bones in a fraction of a second.

Kicking Damian away he flew, his body soaring through the air as he once more planted himself atop his own barrier. Not giving the devil any time to react the Jade Emperor crashed into his body, his leg firmly shattering the teen's ribs.

Once again ignoring his wounds Damian grabbed the god by the leg, black energy tainting the God's true form like a virus. Laughing boisterously the god swung his hand horizontally, his leg vanishing as a deep wound appeared on Damian's flesh.

Yet both their wounds healed in an instant, neither side having the time to utilize their newfound advantage. Shooting to his feet Damian struck a palm to the God's chest, black lightning dancing around his palm and wrapping around the deities form.

Essentially ignoring the black lightning the Jade Emperor stepped forward, his body vanishing as he appeared behind Damian's back. Shooting forward his hand soared through the air, blood spurting through the air moments later.

"You've grown weaker. It seems that your strength is on a time limit." Speaking sorrowfully the Jade Emperor clutched Damian's still beating heart tightly, shattering it. "I would have liked to keep you alive. However, you're too strong to be left alive. My apologies, boy."

Dropping the no longer breathing corpse to the ground the Jade Emperor froze upon laying eyes on the untouched barrier. With the owner dead it should destabilize as its foundation was destroyed yet nothing of the sort had happened.

"Don't apologize. I won't." The empty voice of a Mad Dog appeared behind the God as a fist girly buried itself in the God's form. Turning back curiously the god ignored his penetration. If he had eyes at the moment they would be filled with infinite curiosity.

Damian was unharmed, even the hole in his chest was gone, yet the damage to his clothing persisted. The attack was very much real, the attack had killed the devil. But that fate was forced onto another.

"Very well then! Let us fight to the death!" The Jade Emperor proclaimed proudly as the very realm itself around them began to shiver in excitement. Shooting forward lightning announced their clash, their battles once more equal as Damian was returned to his peak in an instant.

Clashing thousands of times each second their every blow contained the power to destroy realms themselves, their every movement setting the very air ablaze as their auras began to spread and clash on their own.

Murky black energy spread through the air like poison, wrapping itself around and fighting against the realm itself. In terms of pure appearance, it was similar to Crom Caunch's aura however the energy leaking from Damian's form was much darker.

Everything the energy touched was afflicted with every disease in existence, was forcefully aged tremendously each second, and would be stricken with madness. If the Jade Emperor couldn't resist the approach of the aura with his own the battle would end in Damian's favor.

"Hahaha! Survive this and I'll give you anything you want!" The Jade Emperor proclaimed crazily, reality itself compressing all around him as golden thunder and divine energy clumped together. The Jade Emperor was making a Star of Genesis.

Without saying a word Damian recalled the malicious aura spreading from him, copying his opponent's actions perfectly. Black lightning danced around his star of genesis. Both stars grew larger until their size surpassed that of the creators themself.

Time and space itself warped around the attacks, the nigh infinite density drawing in all reality and devouring it. The two Stars of Genesis grew endlessly, each atom devoured increasing their power hundreds of times.

As both combatants empowered their final attacks something entered Damian's mind, something he had long since forgotten about. The two had obvious differences in both power and appearance but…

"Extinguished Star." Damian proclaimed coldly, his attack growing endlessly as he decided to empower it, supplying it with an infinite source of energy. In an instant, it grew dozens of times larger than the Jade Emperor's own.

"Beautiful. Damian Thaumiel, no! Malevolent Star! Take it all! Take everything!" The Jade Emperor proclaimed madly, his eyes full of excitement as he watched his upcoming death grow even closer.

Gazing down at the age old god Damian lowered his finger, the attack dropping like a meteor and crashing into the deity below.
