Deviant: No Longer Human

ROAAAAAAAARRRRR!

A deafening roar echoed through the skies, shaking the earth beneath them.

The King of Rakshas, his grotesque body covered in pulsating tendrils, launched himself at the Bone Skeleton avatar.

His twisted tendrils shot out like hungry serpents, coiling around the massive bone structure, tightening with terrifying speed.

The bone cracked and groaned under the pressure before shattering entirely.

KREEEEEEK! SNAP!

The Bone Skeleton, once a towering force, crumbled to dust, consumed by the King of Rakshas. The tendrils writhed violently as they absorbed the essence of the skeletal giant, merging it into the King's massive form. He grew larger, his body warping and swelling with new power, his maniacal laughter filling the battlefield.

Kekekekeke…

His voice echoed like nails on a chalkboard, laced with an overwhelming wickedness.

The King of Rakshas had ascended—reaching the level of Quasi-transcended after absorbing the Bone Skeleton's power.

Wang Xiao, caught in the middle of the ongoing battle with Yuriko and the fiery woman, suddenly felt his connection severed.

His brow furrowed in irritation, his head snapping toward the sky where the King of Rakshas now loomed, monstrous and ugly.

The creature had evolved, its power surging to new heights, its bloodshot eyes locking onto Wang Xiao with bloodthirst.

"Another Quasi-transcended…" Wang Xiao muttered, his frown deepening as he watched the creature approach with renewed strength.

It had observed the power of his avatar and now sought to challenge him.

His grip tightened, his divine energy humming beneath his skin.

But the King of Rakshas wasn't the only threat.

From the right, a blazing inferno roared toward him—a wall of fire so intense it melted the very air in its path.

The fiery woman, eyes filled with rage, her body wreathed in flames, charged forward, her flames blazing hot enough to turn rock into molten slag.

FWOOOOOOOSH!

From the left, Yuriko emerged from the volcano he had thrown her into.

Her body, covered in soot and blood, shook off the molten rock as if it were nothing. Her eyes burned with cold fury, her lips curling as she raised her hand.

With a sharp movement, she commanded the very mountains themselves—hundreds of mountain peaks, torn from the earth, now launched toward Wang Xiao like deadly spears.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The mountains cut through the air with deadly precision, their massive forms whistling as they hurtled toward him.

The force of their combined attacks created a vortex of destruction, trapping Wang Xiao between an inferno, a living mountain storm, and the monstrous King of Rakshas.

For a moment, Wang Xiao was sandwiched between the overwhelming power of three Transcendent beings.

The sky crackled with energy, the ground beneath him trembling as the full force of their attacks stared down on him.

He frowned for a second, feeling the weight of the combined assaults.

Then, he laughed.

It was a low, bitter laugh that quickly grew louder, echoing through the sky.

"Really?" Wang Xiao muttered, shaking his head in disbelief at the sheer absurdity of the situation. "All this… just to take me down?"

His laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a cold, steely gaze.

His aura surged outward, divine energy erupting from his body like a supernova. The force of it was so immense that the space around him shimmered, warping and bending under the sheer pressure of his power.

BOOOOOOM!

Divine light exploded from him like the birth of a new star, blinding everyone present.

The intensity of the light was so great it whitened the entire sky, making it impossible to see anything.

The ground trembled violently, the very atmosphere distorting under his unleashed power.

CRACK! CRACK! BOOOOOM!

A series of blasts erupted in all directions.

The fiery woman's inferno was consumed, snuffed out in an instant as the light swallowed her flames.

Yuriko's mountain peaks shattered mid-air, reduced to dust before they could even reach him.

The King of Rakshas roared in anger, but even he was caught in the overwhelming surge of energy.

The entire battlefield was engulfed in the radiant light, and for a brief moment, everything went silent.

The world seemed to hold its breath as Wang Xiao's power blotted out the sky.

FWOOM!

When the light finally faded, the scene that was nothing short of devastation.

"Ugh...."

"Ah..."

Two figures floated in the air before Wang Xiao, both groaning in pain, their bodies trembling.

The fiery woman, once so fierce, was now barely conscious, her flames extinguished.

Her neck was caught in Wang Xiao's iron grip, her lips dripping with blood as she struggled to breathe.

Beside her, Yuriko, equally battered, gasped for air, her own neck held tightly in Wang Xiao's other hand.

Blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, her once proud eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Cough! Cough..."

Both women coughed violently, blood spilling from their lips as their bodies convulsed in Wang Xiao's grasp.

The fight had been drained from them, their strength utterly eclipsed by his overwhelming power.

Below them, the King of Rakshas stood frozen, his monstrous body trembling.

His once mighty form, now riddled with cracks, seemed to falter under the pressure of Wang Xiao's attack.

Suddenly, a low cracking echoed.

CRACK… CRACK… CRUMBLE…

The King's body began to crumble, the tendrils that once made him so fearsome turning to ash.

His roar died in his throat as his massive form collapsed, disintegrating before everyone's eyes.

THUD!

In place of the King's monstrous body was a massive sword of pure energy, glowing with divine light.

It stood as tall as the King of Rakshas himself, its blade piercing through his back, pinning him to the ground like an insect.

The energy radiating from the sword was so intense that it warped the space around it, vibrating with pure power.

The King of Rakshas let out one final groan, his body collapsing completely as it was consumed by the sword's energy, turning to dust.

Wang Xiao released a small, satisfied sigh, his grip still firm on the necks of the two women in his hands.

He glanced down at them, his eyes cold and detached.

"Did you really think," he murmured, his voice mocking and filled with a sadistic gleam, "You two could take me down?"

Both women groaned in response, their bodies trembling in his grasp, powerless to fight back.

The battlefield was silent, the world around them in ruins.

The sky, once filled with fire, storms, and chaos, now eerily quiet.

The light from Wang Xiao's divine energy still glowed faintly, casting long shadows over the broken land.

The fight was over. And Wang Xiao had emerged victorious.

He continued to float above the battlefield, his eyes boring into the two women caught in his iron grip—Yuriko and the fiery woman from another world.

His laughter rang out, cold and sharp, the sound filling the ruined sky.

But just as he gloated, his eyes locked on Yuriko, something flickered in the sky above—a glint of light, like a falling star.

FWOOOM!

Wang Xiao's smile faded instantly. His senses flared as he felt a massive energy descending upon him—an attack.

A pulse of rage burned in his chest as he clenched his teeth, realizing that someone had taken the opportunity to strike while he was in the midst of battle.

BOOOOOM!

The air vibrated as the incoming force ripped through the sky. It wasn't just an ordinary attack—this was a power that carried the might of a true transcendent, aimed directly at him.

Whoever this motherfucker was, they intended to end him right here, in the middle of his fight.

Wang Xiao's jaw tightened, his teeth grinding in frustration.

His muscles tensed, veins bulging as the strength of the attack neared. "You've got to be kidding me," he muttered, the fury in his voice growing.
