The arrival of the Kudou Sisters did not significantly improve the situation on the battlefield.
Even with every member of Team Salvation, plus the reinforcement Typhon, they could only barely fight the Demon King of Absolute Evil to a standstill.
The power of Avesta was simply too immense. Especially in Saigou Homura's hands, it could counter almost any power by copying and neutralizing it.
Although this was just a battle between their incarnations, the outcome likely wouldn't be much different even if their true bodies were fighting.
Under these circumstances, Kudou Asuka was forced to play her trump card.
"GEYAAAA!!!"
Evil Dragon Satan appeared once more with a roar, charging toward Azi Dahaka.
After she conquered the Bull of Heaven, Evil Dragon Satan, as a previously defeated Final Trial of Humanity, also became Kudou Asuka's spoil of war.
The power that had once countered Kudou Asuka was now her possession.
Wielding two Final Trials of Humanity at once—the Bull of Heaven and Evil Dragon Satan—Kudou Asuka pushed the intensity of the battle to a whole new level.
However—
"BOOM!"
A wave of black shadows split the mountain peaks, carving the earth into an abyss like a pair of sharp scissors before disappearing from sight.
Mountains became deep valleys, and the land turned into a chasm.
The Demon King of Absolute Evil moved with absolute dominance, blasting Evil Dragon Satan directly into the abyss before turning to face the attacks of Typhon and Izayoi head-on.
The previous battle scene replayed itself. Even the Dystopia Demon King was no match for the Demon King of Absolute Evil in combat prowess.
When Azi Dahaka and Typhon had teamed up, they completely dealt with Evil Dragon Satan in minutes.
But now, he didn't need to team up; he alone could handle the attacks of Typhon and Evil Dragon Satan.
"Damn it! To be this strong... isn't this a bit much?!"
Izayoi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, thinking this was getting difficult.
To fight against such a lineup by himself and show no signs of weakening, and even seem to get more excited as he fought...
Could a monster of this level really be defeated by humans? Forget humans, even gods would have a hard time! Even Typhon, whose true body was a two-digit being, couldn't take down Azi Dahaka's incarnation. One could imagine that even if their true bodies fought, Azi Dahaka wouldn't be outmatched in the slightest.
According to Black Rabbit, Azi Dahaka was a Final Trial of Humanity who had already been subjugated by Su Mo.
If he ever got the chance, Izayoi really wanted to ask just what kind of being could defeat a bug of this level!
Isn't this like the devs themselves are cheating?
As he was pondering a strategy, Percher, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly appeared.
She was originally supposed to be protecting Kudou Asuka, who was commanding her summons from a safe zone, but for some reason, she now came before Izayoi and said something to him.
She relayed the same words to the embattled Typhon.
Hearing Percher's message, Izayoi thought for a moment, still somewhat hesitant.
But Typhon had already agreed.
Noticing this, he could only nod.
"Alright! Let's do it!"
The moment he spoke, Izayoi shot forward, sacrificing one of his gloves to unleash the sixth cosmic velocity and charge directly at Azi Dahaka.
Seeing this, Azi Dahaka sensed something and also activated the sixth cosmic velocity, preparing to warp away and evade.
Just then, a slender figure blocked his path.
"You shall not pass!"
It was Typhon.
In that instant, he too erupted with the sixth cosmic velocity.
Not only that, but his physical condition was extremely poor, and he seemed to have lost the ability to fight for long, forcing him to bet everything on this one move.
Therefore, even though this interception wasn't enough to catch Azi Dahaka off guard, he still unleashed his strongest power.
"Shine beyond the end! Another Cosmology!"
A pillar of white light appeared, the atmosphere formed a vortex, and the entire world began to tremble.
Typhon's face was pale. It was clear from his expression that, given his physical state, this might be the last attack he could muster.
Seeing this, Azi Dahaka felt no sense of alarm. On the contrary, he just found it boring.
"Let us counter in kind! Avesta!"
A crimson fireball materialized, meeting Typhon's white pillar of light.
To him, Typhon was merely making a desperate, final struggle.
After all, their previous exchange had already proven one thing: the power of an Another Cosmology was ineffective against him.
However, Azi Dahaka maintained a basic level of caution. He didn't believe Typhon would make such a foolish choice, attempting something he knew was impossible.
As expected—
"VMMMM—"
A pillar of auroral light, shimmering with the colors of starlight, shone from behind Azi Dahaka.
It was a cosmology cast from the same mold as Typhon's, yet different, possessing the same destructive power to annihilate anything in the material world.
"I see. So the plan is to use two Another Cosmologies at once to test the limits of Avesta?"
Azi Dahaka immediately understood their plan.
Avesta could neutralize the power of other Another Cosmologies individually, but that didn't mean it could counter two of them simultaneously.
If they attacked at the exact same time, there might be a chance to break through Avesta's defense.
It was actually quite normal to come up with such an idea in the middle of a battle.
However—
"Pinning your hopes on something so uncertain? Foolish!"
"A resolve of this level can never defeat a Demon King, can never defeat Absolute Evil... Learn this lesson with your own bodies!"
The instant he finished speaking, a second crimson flame appeared behind him.
The pillar of aurora and the fireball collided, neutralizing each other once again.
Using one aspect of Absolute Evil as a mirror, could it simultaneously reflect the shadows of two Another Cosmologies?
That question now had an answer.
It could!
Starlight trembled, the atmosphere shook, and two attacks capable of destroying everything in the material world were completely neutralized in one fell swoop.
Then, the Demon King of Absolute Evil raised his arms, black shadow blades forming menacing giant claws. His ruby eyes locked onto Typhon, intending to eliminate one enemy first.
The very instant he thought this—
"SWOOSH!"
A sharp sense of danger came from behind. It seemed Izayoi hadn't given up and was continuing his attack.
The Demon King of Absolute Evil turned his head and casually counterattacked, preparing to force Izayoi back.
"SCHLICK!"
The sharp claws sank into flesh and blood, sending a spray of crimson mist into the air.
"How could this be?"
Azi Dahaka wore a stunned expression, completely shocked that his attack had landed.
Izayoi also had mobility on the level of the sixth cosmic velocity; how could he possibly fail to dodge such a blow?
Before he could react, Izayoi, his shoulder pierced through, gave a savage grin and wrapped his arms around Azi Dahaka.
"Got you!"
He smiled, his plan having succeeded.
This declaration confused Azi Dahaka.
He didn't sense any danger. In fact, even if his opponent held him, it would be difficult to cause him any harm. Avesta was still functioning normally; any fatal attack would be automatically neutralized.
Could it be that his opponent still had a trump card?
Just as he was feeling puzzled and wary, about to pull his claws from Izayoi's wound and throw him off, an immense force grabbed him from behind.
It was Typhon!
Typhon grabbed Azi Dahaka from behind. The two of them, in a pose resembling the "Seven-Day Lock of Unbreakable Love," held Azi Dahaka fast from the front and back, completely immobilizing him.
Even so, his opponents lacked a fatal weapon. Besides, with his amplified Spiritual Status, he wasn't someone they could restrain so easily.
Azi Dahaka furiously circulated the Third Stellar Particle in his body, unleashing the power granted by Avesta's blessing.
In the next instant, he would be able to break free from their hold.
However, in that very instant.
"SHINK!"
An ice-cold blade pierced through his organs, freezing Azi Dahaka's movements.
At the same time, it also froze his Spiritual Status.
In that moment, all three were simultaneously powerless, falling toward the ground like ordinary people.
This was the absolute tyranny of the so-called killing move.
Even though Azi Dahaka had been on guard, that single moment of delay was all it took. He still couldn't escape his fate.
