Chapter 747: Darkseid's Greed And A Soul Battle!
Chapter 747: Darkseid's Greed And A Soul Battle!
It had been a really long time for Darkseid too.
Never had he spent so much time on an enemy. His battle with anyone had always been quick, with his enemies having been wiped out of existence in mere seconds.
But here he was, slashing forth one of his most powerful attacks in a span of seconds, yet the enemy was only fading away, little by little.
Such a body, it could almost be called undying. How would one possess such a type of body?
How could such a body exist? A body that was close to touching the barrier of undying.
It was nothing but a miracle to Darkseid, whose own body was also close to undamageable.
It was a body he had formed from countless battles, so much that his body had almost adapted to all of the attacks, and with every passing second, Darkseid felt this fight was a waste.
He was going to reduce Zeras to nothing in a few minutes more, but wouldn't that be a waste?
Such a body, reduced to nothing and wiped out of existence.
What if he himself possessed that body with his own power? He would utterly become close to undefeatable, even if he was faced with a higher enemy.
He could possess a close to undying body!
And for that reason, Darkseid, who was slashing continuously like a madman, stopped slashing as he looked at Zeras.
Right now, Zeras's both legs and a single arm had faded away, leaving only his upper body and his right arm.
"It will be a waste to make such a body fade away into non-existence!" Darkseid called out, and in the next instant, he kept his axe back into his storage ring.
Just a few seconds into activating his ultimate technique, Zeras paused, wondering why Darkseid suddenly stopped slashing.
"Don't tell me he gave up?" Zeras thought, but a strange expression morphed on his face when he felt Darkseid slowly inch his head towards him, and then his rough forehead touched Zeras's own as Darkseid closed his eyes, and the void was returned to calm.
Since Darkseid felt such a body would go to waste if he simply killed Zeras, he also didn't plan to just leave Zeras alone.
What happened was to possess Zeras's body for himself.
And that would require killing Zeras's space and occupying it, making Zeras's body his.
That was his plan, and it worked as he soon found himself before a dark, narrow space whose end was in sight and at the end of the narrow hall.
His eyes flashed when he saw the dark-looking hall, and slowly he made his way forth.
His soul body was in the form of his physical body, and with relentless wars, his soul had been forged to their absolute limit, making his soul form incredibly powerful among the ranks of various soul forms.
"I won't let your physical body go to waste. I'll seize it for myself and put it to much better use than you..." Darkseid muttered as he walked forth and pushed open the large doors, finding himself in a strange room.
It was a simple room but painted in a plethora of colors.
There, right in front of him, stood 19 meters away, was a figure whose entire body seemed to have been made of nothing but star sprinkles.
It was a strange soul form oozing with thousands of stars that was nothing but shocking and depressing.
It was the strangest soul that he had ever seen, and the figure was currently flashing him a strange, weird smile.
Of course, it was none other than Zeras. But the true horrific aura that shook Darkseid came from the left-hand side, a place where the world was pitch red.
Right there was a colossal red devilish figure, who was gently slumbering, but his eyes soon opened up, feeling the gaze of Darkseid as the figure sat up and looked at him with groggy-looking eyes.
But those eyes soon brightened up, and a pleasant surprise escaped the figure's lips on sighting Darkseid as he slowly rose up and walked towards Darkseid.
Instantly, Darkseid wanted to push onwards and seize the first strike, but he was shocked when he found himself unable to move a single inch from the devilish colossal figure looking at him.
Unable to move, he could only watch as the devil arrived before him, towering over him by two heads, before slowly, a grin curved up on his lips.
An incredibly wild grin, almost like one meeting with a close old friend, but the words that followed were nothing but shocking.
"Kneel!"
The order came as Darkseid's heart shook from the reverberating order, and in the next instant...
BAAANG n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
BAAANG
The sound of two knees hitting the ground reverberated as Darkseid found his own body escaping his control, and he was immediately forced onto his knees, his head bowed, all of it absolutely beyond his control.
Every single one of his cells quivered from a strange horror that Darkseid couldn't understand.
Only a single question remained. Who was the devil living inside the soul of Zeras?
"You really are a descendant of one of my warriors..." The voice rang out as Darkseid felt the pressure on his neck fading away, and he was able to rise up his head to look at the devilish figure who slowly turned his gaze away from him before looking at one who was sitting on the astral throne, simply looking at both of them with an uncaring smirk.
"Long time no see, Zeras." The devil called out to Zeras, who scoffed in mockery as he rose up and walked towards the devil.
Of course, Zeras knew who the devilish figure was.
Who could it be if it wasn't none other than the cowardly and traitorous system that abandoned him at his most needed moment?
"Long time no see, cowardly traitor!" Zeras replied, causing the system to raise an eyebrow before laughing out loud.
