....

A black aura of death, laced with overwhelming killing intent, surged from the Heretic God Yama, enveloping the entire sky.

"I command Hell, I wield judgment! Yama decrees your death at the third watch, who dares to keep you alive past the fifth!" The Heretic God Yama's voice boomed, a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and earth.

As the incantation echoed, the deathly energy within the Summoning Hell surged towards Yama. With a wave of his hand, a colossal black tornado, accompanied by the chilling wails of ghosts, swept towards Haru.

Wherever the storm passed, trees withered, grass decayed, and all life was extinguished. Insects, birds, and animals, unable to escape in time, turned into pale corpses, falling to the ground.

"Hmph!" Haru let out a cold snort as he watched the black storm approach. He spread his arms, and twelve basketball-sized moons materialized, orbiting him. An invisible repulsive force erupted outward.

The death storm collided with the invisible force, and for a moment, the world fell silent.

Then, a deafening explosion, like a bolt from the blue, ripped through the air.

The death storm and the repulsive force clashed violently, unleashing their terrifying energies. The space at the epicenter of the collision distorted under the strain.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the repulsive force weakened and dissipated with a resounding crack, leaving behind a cloud of black mist.

Seizing the opportunity as the storm and the force dissipated, Haru activated Steel Incarnate, summoning the holy demon sword, Gram.

He nullified the Earth's gravitational pull on himself, and with a tap of his foot, a sonic boom echoed as he shot forward, transforming into a silver lightning bolt. In an instant, he traversed hundreds of meters and appeared to Yama's right.

He channeled his immense magical energy, amplified by his status as a Godslayer, into Gram, transforming it into a blinding torrent of light. He swung the blade in a single, decisive arc.

Yama's pupils constricted. Light was extremely effective against underworld Gods. This attack could not be met head-on! Ripples spread through the Summoning Hell behind him as he vanished into the alternate dimension.

A moment later, the torrent of light arrived, silently piercing the Summoning Hell and striking the earth in the distance. A bottomless black hole appeared, the surrounding rock melted into glass, radiating intense heat.

"Tsk." Haru frowned, looking at Yama, whose form had become ethereal and indistinct after retreating into the Summoning Hell.

The Core within him spun, slowly at first, then rapidly accelerating.

He took a deep breath and focused thirty percent of his magical energy, channeling it into his Earth Authority. A massive surge of magical energy enveloped him, forcibly repelling the air within a ten-meter radius.

He nullified Gram's weight, allowing it to float beside him. Clasping his hands together, he unleashed a surge of gravitational energy.

The spatial barrier of the Summoning Hell distorted and shattered with a crack, revealing a pitch-black void. In that instant, Haru grasped Gram and unleashed another torrent of light towards the opening.

A few seconds later, the world's laws slowly repaired the black void. A massive mushroom cloud erupted within the Summoning Hell reflected in the sky.

The cities, rivers of blood, and mountains of bone were obliterated by the unstoppable torrent of light.

The reflection of the Summoning Hell in the sky fluctuated violently, then shattered. A disheveled figure emerged from the wreckage. His black official robes were tattered, revealing patches of brown skin.

One of his shoes had been burned away, leaving him with one bare foot. His face, now brown from the loss of a part of his elemental form, was covered in soot.

Yama looked at the Godslayer below him, speechless. The young man's relentless assault had pushed him to the brink of defeat. With the Summoning Hell destroyed, he had no escape route.

Gritting his teeth, Yama attempted a last stand. He forced the shattered Summoning Hell to re-form, gathering the remaining deathly energy. He activated his divine power, "Judgment of Sin," born from the people's belief in his infallible judgment as Bao Zheng.

Countless mournful figures materialized around Yama. They were dressed in rags, their bodies mutilated. Each had a gaping hole in their chest, revealing a heart ripped into pieces.

Their abdomens were split open, intestines spilling out and wrapped around their arms. The figures wailed and cried, their anguished cries filling the air as they shuffled forward.

Yama held a scroll made of human skin, unfurling it slowly as he recited the inscription:

"You are guilty of heinous crimes, defying the laws of man. You attempted to marry your own sister, used violence against the weak, and tempted others to sell their children for survival. Your sins are unforgivable! You shall be punished by disembowelment and heart extraction!"

Invisible chains, forged from the world's laws, bound Haru. A shadowy black energy surged into his body, coalescing into a ghostly black hand with blood-red fingernails at his heart. The hand grasped Haru's heart.

"Ugh!" Haru's face contorted in pain as his heart was seized by the ghostly hand.

The hand slowly tightened its grip. Just as his heart was about to be crushed, Haru cried out, "Egg, quick! Annihilate it!"

The radiant, golden egg-shaped Dirac Sea within Haru's mind dimmed, and invisible waves spread outward.

The negative energy hidden within the dark side of the universe invaded the mortal realm, mimicking the energy fluctuations of the ghostly hand.

The positive and negative energies clashed, and the ghostly hand vanished instantly, revealing the faint glimmer of the rules it embodied.

Looking up at Yama, who continued his judgment above, Haru seized the opportunity. He poured half of his magical energy into the holy demon sword, Gram, and chanted the incantation to amplify its power.

"O. Sword of Light & Shadow, Severing all things, the world has reached its twilight hour. Strike down the dragon of evil!"

An infinite torrent of light erupted from the blade. Yama, caught off guard, was engulfed by the blinding brilliance.

High above, the sky churned and roiled.

"It's over," Haru muttered, slowly descending to the concrete ground. He braced himself on his knees, panting heavily, unaware of the faint wisp of black smoke escaping from the sky.

In the forest on the outskirts of Okukozome, a pair of green eyes watched Haru from the shadows.
