Chapter 183: Trihexa

[Anthony's POV]

Ophis just nodded and was willing to help me with my task... with a cookie in her mouth.

From the data from Apocalypse, New Genesis, and Krypton, I learned about compression technology using Phantom Zone energy.

Based on these technologies, I needed to acquire a couple of stars.

I opened a boom tube using the Mother Cube to take us into another galaxy in tight space. 

Initially, I thought of moving to the Andromeda galaxy, but I changed my mind and decided to go further.

"It's like the universe responded."

Ophis said with surprise, looking at me, but soon returned to her usual expression and continued chewing on her cookie.

"That's right. The Mother Box contains a particle of Creation which everything is made."

I gave a brief summary, and she nodded, quickly losing interest in the topic.

"I need stars... preferably supergiants."

It wasn't hard to find these stars, and soon, I got back a huge amount of Eighth Metal that I had been gathering for months.

I set up small sites near the star from which thousands of Kryptonian drones were launched into space.

They were specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures.

After about four hours, I finished building with alchemy and connected all the drones to the void or the Phantom Zone with Ophis.

She didn't mind sharing a fraction of her infinity to ensure the drones had enough charge to begin shrinking the star into a specially created space.

It was quite an intriguing sight because it was a supergiant with a mass equivalent to seventy suns.

They were compressed to the size of a tennis ball and disappearing into the closing artifact.

That might look like magic to the average person, but it's actually just very powerful technology capable of achieving a lot. 

"..."

Ophis watched it all with an unchanged expression.

She herself couldn't compress a star like that or do anything with it at all.

"Great Baka... will you kill him?"

She asked nonetheless.

"Hmm, why?"

I didn't quite grasp her train of thought while twirling the artifact in my hands... which contained a damn star.

Just a year ago, I could only dream of this.

The power of the sun was in my hands, but this star was tens of times more powerful than the sun.

"You're strong... I like it here. It's quiet... but I remember when Great Red took my place..."

"What a grudge you hold."

I said, placing my hand on her head and patting it gently.

As soon as I removed my hand, Ophis grabbed hers and put it back on her own head, doing all this without changing her expression.

I was able to collect three of these stars in less than three hours.

They were all at least ten times as massive as the Sun and produced just as much energy.

It was beyond my personal strength to shrink such a huge star, but I was able to do it without much trouble with the help of engineering genius, alchemy, and understanding of many races and their technologies.

I returned to Rias's world with three stars to get a strong dark soul.

In this world, there were many devils with quite dark souls, but none of them were strong enough, not even the soul of a super devil-like Sirzechs.

In this world, there was a sufficiently dark creature with tremendous power that would bring much destruction in the future.

"Father, no!"

Gabriel exclaimed upon hearing my plan.

"I... I can't let you... not again..."

She rushed over to me and hugged me tighter as if she was scared I would leave at any moment, with her eyes filled with tears.

It's clear that my goal is Trihexa 666, the Beast of the Apocalypse that can fight as well as the Great Red and destroy the entire world and all the dimensions next to it by itself.

"Don't worry, this time, I'm really prepared to meet him."

I reassured, patting her on the back with a smile on my face.

I couldn't help but warn them about what I would do.

The Beast of Apocalypse must be killed in any case, and I must warn them all to protect the Earth from the echoes of our battle.

It was also necessary to warn all the other pantheons.

The Beast of Apocalypse is so powerful that its release would be felt by all gods regardless.

They should be prepared to help Earth, or I would deal with them after the Beast.

After all, they are gods and should protect the planet and their believers, or what's the point of them?

"We still cannot help but fear. Last time... father, you expended too much strength."

Michael said, with almost as much worry in his voice.

"Much has changed since then."

I shook my head and looked at Gabriel still hugging me, clearly feeling comfortable in this position.

"Gabriel, Michael, please believe in me. He poses no threat to me right now... let me show you. All of you."

With the help of the Mother Box, I opened a portal nearby. I immediately drew everyone's attention due to the noise.

The younger angels joined us, and all the archangels obediently followed after me.

I... stopped holding back as I flew them into the Atlantic Ocean. I no longer suppressed my essence, my Light, or my power.

I usually do this to function normally in human society and to avoid overwhelming people or even the gods themselves.

A god is fundamentally different from a human in physical strength and the entirety of their existence.

An ordinary person could simply die from standing next to me.

Gabriel trembled in my embrace and pressed herself closer to me.

They looked at me with even greater fanaticism, and I felt a surge of faith energy... a tiny part of the power I possess right now.

 However, this is far from enough.

"Anthony..."

The magical seals appeared, and Sirzechs, with the other Satans, appeared.

Azazel appeared with a concerned expression, followed by gods who simply couldn't ignore this.

The first to appear were Odin, Brahma, and Shiva, then Buddha.

They all knew about the resurrection of the biblical one, especially since a peace treaty had recently been signed between the three biblical races.

They now saw me in person.

"Sorry to interrupt your activities, but I need your support."

I began with my Light enveloping everyone.

Sirzech, Serafall, and the other two Satans did not feel pain or any negative emotions from this seemingly holy energy.

Even Shiva felt a sense of peace and seemed to understand my intention, my calm and benevolent power which wished no harm to anyone.

"I understand that this might come as a shock, but the time is approaching when Trihexa will break free from its seal. Therefore, I have decided to enter the seal and deal with the Beast of Apocalypse once and for all. I only ask that you protect Earth from the consequences of our battle. I will transport us far away, but I thought it best to warn you about this."

"Well, this is something..."

Odin coughed.

I agree that this happened quite abruptly, but my intuition about coming problems rarely fails me.

I don't want to risk waiting a few weeks for bureaucratic procedures to gather a council of gods.

They might not respond at all, so I decided to address the issue more... effectively.

Moreover, I could obliterate them all in an instant, and everyone could feel that if I wanted.

They felt it in their subconscious when sensing how my "self" was pressuring down on them even though I wasn't intentionally doing so.

This also served as a demonstration of power and to prevent future problems.

Of course, that wasn't the end, and more questions followed.

After answering them, I was ready to transport myself to the place where Trihexa was sealed.

It is located in the "End of the World," a special dimension created by the Biblical God.

I had to use the Heavenly System with the Grail to find it as there was nothing mentioned about it in the Covenant books.

"Here I am, before a creature of immense power capable of destroying everything here."

I mused.

It took a little work and a "boom" sound to get me inside the seals, where I quickly avoided a few dragon heads while wearing my armor and holding my spear.

It looked like a bear, cat, leopard, and maybe even something else on one side and several dragon heads on the other.

It was about four hundred meters long and wide.

Immediately, one dragon head transformed into a lion's head and tried to bite off a piece of me again.

"You're quite sneaky."

I noted as I gauged his power.

Ophis wouldn't have stood a chance against him.

My eyes glowed, and two beams of all-consuming light shot towards the Beast of the Apocalypse.

Trihexa's scales resisted the temperature momentarily before the beams pierced through its body.

Its blood boiled, its flesh cooked, but it ignored it because everything had healed within half a second.

"Arha-a-a-a!"

A stream of chaotic flame harmlessly enveloped my armor that could have scorched the entire Earth.

I threw a strong punch at one of the heads as I got closer, and it vanished along with half of its body and pieces of other heads.

However, it regenerated even faster which surprised me somewhat.

"What about this... Samael's poison does weaken you."

I threw a spear into its body, and it tried to dodge it but couldn't.

The spear pierced its body, and it could only roar as the poison began to kill it... or at least it should have, but it adapted quickly, and its regeneration kicked in.

It grew a lion's tail, which it tried to use to swat me away, but I easily dodged and cut it off.

Trihexa showed its teeth and took to the air... I felt the seal breaking completely, so I opened a Boom Tube and transported us into space.

"Enjoying your freedom from your prison?"

I asked with a smirk.

However, it didn't respond and likely couldn't.

I sensed only raw instincts and darkness inside it.

With a powerful strike, I obliterated its body and a portion of the asteroid belt into dust.

It regenerated in a few seconds and didn't seem tired.

The Beast still somehow restored itself even when I completely annihilated it using alchemy.

Specifically, I understood how — its soul acted as a superconductor for its powers.

Moreover, it was distorted, dark, and unnatural.

 It lacked reactive adaptation, but it regenerated very quickly. I would have struggled if I weren't orders of magnitude stronger.

After obliterating it with alchemy again, I retrieved the artifact made of Eighth Metal.

As soon as it was back to normal, I tore it apart using reality itself.

Then, I pierced it with billions of bright constructs with the White Ring while tearing it into pieces and began sealing its soul into the cube.

"What are you looking at?"

I glanced towards the portal where the Great Red's face appeared.

It didn't say anything but quickly withdrew.

It had sensed the beginning of the battle earlier but chose not to interfere when possibly sensing me.
