603  Long and Bloody Battle

    The dark red sphere pulsed violently, swirling with chaotic energy.

    It wasn''t just an attack—it was an execution.

    "Die, you worthless piece of trash." With a lazy flick of his wrist, he let it loose. It descended slowly, crackling with dark tendrils of power, distorting the air with its sheer malevolence.

    BOOOOOOM!

    It slammed into the first barrier.

    CRACK!

    The entire shield shattered in an instant. It didn''t hold—not even for a second.

    Ra''s heart pounded.

    ''No. No. No.'' He didn''t have time to think—only to act.

    Slamming his palms together, he activated the runes embedded across the city.

    Golden veins of light shot through the streets, illuminating every building, every road, every inch of the city in a divine glow.

    A split second later—

    SHIIING!

    A massive, golden barrier erupted up from the earth, stretching to the heavens like a second sky.

    It was the city''s final defense, forged by him and powered by divine energy he had spent years accumulating.

    Here, his power was magnified, and it was no exaggeration to say that, in terms of sheer energy reserves, he was no weaker than Satan.

    BOOOOOOM!

    The black sphere collided with the golden shield.

    Shockwaves tore through the air, flattening everything around the city''s protection.

    Ra couldn''t help the cold dread creeping up his spine.

    Reign just fought Satan—an enemy strong enough to annihilate an army of high ranking angels—yet he still had this much power left to spare.

    How?

    How could something so monstrous exist?

    ''No. I can''t let him win.''

    Ra shook away all doubt, forcing his fear into the depths of his mind.

    His divine energy burst forth, radiating with unshakable resolve.

    This city—his city—was reconstructed according to his will. Here, he was the strongest.

    "Interesting... really interesting." He exhaled, his body trembling—not with fear, but with uncontainable excitement.

    "Alright, then." His gaze swept over them, daring them to act. "I''ll give you all a chance. Come at me. All of you. If you''re ready to die!" The challenge rang like a war drum, shaking the sky itself.

    For a split second, silence reigned. Then—like a dam bursting—the Demon Gods moved.

    BOOM!

    They shot into the air, their sheer speed splitting the clouds apart. The sky itself twisted, shifting into a kaleidoscope of unnatural colors as their demonic auras collided.

    Blazing crimson flames, crackling violet lightning, swirling black fog—each one commanded an element of destruction.

    Each one was an apex predator, a god of war, feared for their power. And now, they were all aiming at one person. Their battle stances were firm, their eyes filled with resolve.

    This would be a long, bloody war—a clash of titans that would be written in history. Or so they thought.

    Before anyone could even process it—

    The sky bled.

    Tens of thousands of dark red lasers rained down from above, each one moving at impossible speeds, each one locking onto a target with pinpoint precision.

    The first wave of Demon Gods disintegrated on impact, their bodies pierced through instantly.

    Those who saw it happen had no time to react.

    More beams followed. Faster. Unstoppable. Unavoidable.

    They hunted them down no matter how fast they moved, no matter what spells they cast or defenses they raised.

    "NO! THIS CAN''T—"

    A Demon God''s body was torn apart mid-sentence, his limbs severed before his torso was ripped open, flesh and bone scattering like shredded paper.

    One tried to teleport away—but a beam struck him through the forehead before he could even blink.

    Another Demon King roared, summoning a vast energy shield, only for a barrage of lasers to shatter it like glass, reducing him to a corpse. At that moment, they all realized.

    This was no battle. This was a one sided slaughter.

    One by one, they fell. Like flies.

    And as the last demon fell, silence gripped the city.

    Hundreds of demon gods where killed in mere seconds—

    And high above it all, Reign trembled, controlling the urge to laughed . "This is what true power looks like!" he declared, almost reverently, before bursting into laughter.

    "Where''s that confidence from earlier? Weren''t you going to defeat me? Weren''t you going to kill me?" His laughter grew wilder, nearly breathless from his own amusement.

    "You never had a chance." His smile turned into something far more sinister.

    He lifted his hand again, tendrils of dark and red energy slithering around his fingers.

    "Now then... shall we finish this?"
