The Final Enemy (8)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several bolts of lightning had passed. In the skies, one last bolt of lightning condensed. And on the surface of the floor, the corpses of several true immortals could be seen.

Sitting on top of the goat snake's true immortal corpse, a wounded Saber had a calm smirk while staring toward the bolt of black lightning being condensed.

"These true immortals had some good strength." Saber yawned and said. "But finally, I can leave this place and return to the universe. I want to meet that fellow calling himself Oblivion once again... I want to meet that butler of mine again... And I want to experience the feeling of destroying a cosmos!"

Saying this, his eyes then turned cold as he stared in a certain direction. "But first, this proclaimed Tower Lord, Ruler of Hell's Tower... What's his deal?" Saber shook his head as the last bolt of lightning suddenly descended.

Xiu! Waa!

Simultaneously, the several corpses of true immortals were instantly enveloped by dark purple energy and disappeared soon after. Saber's aura skyrocketed a final time as purple energy seeped into his pores and the grip on a spear he was 'given' by a true immortal suddenly tightened.

Slash!

Copying the slashing form from the true immortal he had just battled, Saber's spear which had been corrupted with the chaotic power of primordial chaos slashed toward the skies as Saber intertwined the techniques using the sword...

{Ultimate Art... Primal Slash...}

Bang!

The purple light collided with the bolt of black lightning. Saber had just devoured multiple true immortals, thieving their strength, comprehension, memories, and experience... This primal slash he just used contained the power of those true immortals coupled with his own and more...

Crackle!

Yet, even in the face of such power, the black bolt of lightning was barely affected by the primal slash used by Saber. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Saber teleported several tens of thousands of miles away.

Immediately upon reappearing, the bolt of lightning had already pierced through his body! It seemed like he had moved too slowly but... Saber's figure slowly began disappearing, as if this was merely an illusion.

Billions of miles away, Saber reappeared once again, but the bolt of tribulation lightning had already appeared inches away from his chest, containing boundless destructive energy in it, capable of instantly pulverizing Saber to dust...

Waa!

Saber disappeared once more. Playing cat and mouse with the tribulation lightning, Saber appeared several tens of trillions of miles away instantly. Again the bolt of lightning was close by and ready to pierce Saber's body, contaminating it with its endless destructive force.

Boom!

But, it instead collided with Saber's primal slash. The collision only served to barely slow its path as it continued to pursue Saber. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Saber stood in the empty skies for a moment that was enough time for the bolt of lightning to pierce through his illusion.

His true body had already appeared countless lightyears away. Making full use of the space inside the final floor of Hell's Tower, Saber then prepared another attack...

Going through the several memories of the true immortals in an instant, he then merged them all with the primal slash method as the base.

Yes, this action was only possible due to his enhanced android brain that evolved along with him until he reached the true immortal realm. Though less than a millisecond passed, in his mind, several years could have passed...

Though this wasn't exactly true, the number of thoughts he had at that moment was comparable to the number of thoughts the mind of an Earth Immortal would have over several years!

Gathering all his power, his endlessly expanding aura that touched the clouds and the earth below suddenly disappeared... Being drawn into his body, his aura was nowhere to be sensed, and bubbling inside of his body, unable to be sensed.

Right after, he entered a spear stance. His eyes were glowing with a deep and dark purple shade as he watched the bolt of lightning eating away the distance between it and himself. Smirking confidently, he thought...

'Though I wouldn't die, I've not mastered this technique, so I'll most probably end up in a miserable state due to it...!' Thinking this, the hundreds of elements he had comprehended and that were constantly rising due to his clones devouring those in the lower floors, all these elements suddenly all came to be in a splendorous light that coated over the spear in his hand.

Fwoosh!

The bolt of lightning tore at the space wherever it went. Before a mortal could blink, the bolt of lightning had already appeared before Saber and collided with his descending spear that was completely enveloped in the light of his newly created technique...

{Ultimate Art... Primordial Chaos Divine Slash!...}

BOOM!

The skies darkened and the light disappeared. Saber's spear was instantly obliterated. A massive black hole devoured the lightning bolt along with Saber as it threatened to eat away the space of the whole floor.

Simultaneously, the humanoid rabbit appeared in front of the black hole that had grown to the size of several meters. Though he stood in front of it, he was completely fine. With a finger, he tapped on it as if it was glass, shattering it like glass instantly thereafter...

The whole floor stabilized as a couple of lightyears away, a small shard of a broken sword suddenly transformed into a pool of blood that then transformed once more into a humanoid figure with long purple hair and blazing purple eyes.

"Your ability, no, several of your abilities are quite interesting... You're very much different than normal Deity people." The humanoid rabbit suddenly casually appeared before Saber.

Sensing the ripples in space and thereafter hearing his creepy old voice, Saber snorted coldly as he replied with a monotone voice.

"Obviously I'm different... Seeing as you already know of my Deity people, let me tell you that I'm the Third Prince! As the Third Prince, if I was like normal Deities, wouldn't I be a failure like my two older brothers...?"

Oh!

Clearly not expecting this piece of news, the rabbit man in a tuxedo suddenly turned serious. His pores rose as he suddenly dropped two of his knees. Though he was emotionless and remained with an uninterested expression, Saber was secretly shocked by the Tower Lord's reaction.

Someone much stronger than a True Immortal had suddenly knelt once knowing his identity, but then replaying the memories he had awakened after devouring the element of reincarnation, along with the fragmented memories that appear when his comprehension increased, it made some sense in his mind...

According to those memories, the leader of the Deity race was absurdly powerful. As a prince, it meant that no matter which path he went, his parent was powerful.

Killing Oblivion would result in him becoming a true Deity being killed by Oblivion, then the latter would be a true member of Void and both endings would result in him gaining a massively powerful backer.

After all, the leader of the Deity race and the leader of the Void race, these opposing forces, their leaders were his parents.

'Even among the three princes, he must be the scariest. Whether it be Father Void or Mother Deity, he'll be highly regarded and spoiled by them... Such a monster, this is my chance!'

Sensing an opportunity for his status to rise, the humanoid rabbit then cupped his fist. "This humble slave greets the Young Lord...!"
