After the previous battle ended, God returned to his chamber to decide which detective would fight next.
Meanwhile, the Leader of the Monsters also returned to his own room to choose the Monsters' next representative.
There, he encountered the Monster of Lies.
The Monster of Lies said,
"Hello, Leader of the Monsters. I came to tell you that I, the Monster of Lies, will fight in the next round."
The Leader of the Monsters looked at him.
"You're going already, Monster of Lies?"
The Monster of Lies smiled.
"Yes. Yes, and yes. I'll fight in the next round and tie the score."
The Leader of the Monsters nodded.
"Very well. You may head to the arena."
At the same time, God entered his chamber to choose the next detective.
There, he met Detective Neti.
God said,
"You are the next detective, Neti."
Detective Neti replied,
"My... how much time has passed already?"
God answered,
"Since the tournament began."
Neti scratched his head.
"Oh... wasn't I supposed to fight in the tenth round?"
God nodded.
"Yes, but another detective fought in your place during the tenth round."
Neti sighed.
"I see... Alright then. I'm heading to the arena."
God smiled.
"Good. Let's begin."
Soon, both fighters arrived at the arena.
God raised his voice and announced,
"Now begins the 19th Competition!"
"Representing the Detectives... Detective Neti, the detective who despises lies and has always punished murderers and liars."
"And representing the Monsters... the Monster of Lies, the being who deceived the Earth, Hell, many places across space, and countless people. He even tricked both Monsters and humans by claiming he would protect the Earth from the Monsters."
"The rule for this battle is simple: each fighter will unleash their powers against the other until one of them dies."
"The match... begins now!"
Detective Neti stepped forward and pointed at his opponent.
"You lied... and now you'll pay for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed the Curse of Lies toward the Monster of Lies.
The Monster of Lies swiftly dodged the attack and countered with his own technique.
"Fire of Lies!"
This power engulfed its target in flames, burning the victim alive until nothing remained.
Detective Neti immediately responded.
"Bombs Duuuuuuuiiiiiii!"
Bombs Duuuuuuuiiiiiii was an extremely powerful technique capable of making its target's body explode instantly, resulting in certain death.
The Monster of Lies narrowly avoided the attack.
Then he smiled and said,
"Then... take a look at this."
To be continued...
