Chapter 113 A God Will Bleed
The God of Tyranny believed his opponent had a limit to how much he could absorb. And so, he poured in uncontrolled amounts of energy into Amari, having no restraint whatsoever.
Amari was flooded with Dark red energy of the Omega Effect in full force with no reservations.
It enveloped him, covering his being from head to toe while he remained immobilized.
“Do you feel it?” Darkseid uttered deeply. His voice sounding like that of a Demon God from ones worst nightmares.
“This ....... All of this is the Power of a true God. One who can shatter planets at will and destroy the multiverses that those weaker beings roam on”.
“This isn't even up to a percentage of the energy I can muster at my command. Yet, you actually seek to defeat me?”
The energy continued to pour in as the target remained completely still. Darkseid was assured.
“You can absorb energy? Then have some more. Take as much as you can and see..... The difference between us. And when this is over, I will rebuild you from scratch and turn you into one of my most loyal subjects, dedicated only to carrying out my every whim”.
“My Avatars alone have turned hundreds of thousands of worlds to dust in my name. Forever have it imprinted within you, that I am Evil…. I am the end..... I am......”.
His imposing monologue was interrupted by an unexpected change in events.
The overwhelming energy released by his Omega Effect, accumulating for the past few seconds seemed to have found an outlet for smooth passage.
The energy rushed forward like a bathtub full of water coming across a drain.
“This....... How?”
The energy surrounding Amari like a cocoon was swallowed, and a hand reached out to grab Darkseid's.
“I'll show you”. Amari's arm that held the Dark Lord lit up with red lines appearing on his hand flowing towards his body.
The situation hadn't changed much. Darkseid's energy was still flowing into Amari's body, same as before. Only this time, The God of Tyranny wasn't releasing it on his own initiative.
Amari let out a cold smile as Darkseid's energy was absorbed by him in torrents.
He did say he should have some more. In that case, this matter should only end in one way.
Him leaving with a full stomach.
The New God of Tyranny felt his power being forcefully drained rapidly. His stone like face had a drastic change when encountering this situation.
This..... This was Impossible. Literally impossible.
How the hell could someone absorb so much at once?
Darkseid raised his giant right fist and punched forward. Things were getting out of control, he couldn't allow this fight to continue while still within Amari's grasp.
Bang!
The giant fist collided against a small palm and was blocked, unable to advance an inch.
Instead, Amari's left hand took a good grip on Darkseid, activating energy absorption to continue his feast.
Pulling him closer, he proceeded to hit the Uxas with a headbutt.
“Ugh!” Darkseid groaned as he was pushed back. His face contorting to form a wince.
He opened his eyes to see amari throw a fist at his face.
Bam!
...........
Screech!
Squelch!
A Parademon had its head destroyed with a spear piercing through it.
Blood fluids sprayed out of its skull onto Aurelie's face, staining her cheeks green.
Not giving a care, she twisted the spear, inserting it even deeper into her targets' skull regardless. Then, she dodged downward to avoid a hand filled with sharp claws, aiming to tear her apart.
“Hah!” She yelled and twisted her body while pulling the spear out and aiming at the new Parademon.
Squelch.
The sound of flesh being ripped through fell in her ears as she severed the head clean off.
After which, she leaped forward to greet the next assault.
These creatures were numerous. And so with her speed, strength and well-trained agility, she constantly destroyed every one of these things without much effort.
Dodge, slice, block, stab and then repeat the same actions in different sequences.
Despite the large numbers...... Aurelie was handling things just fine.
As for the other girl.......
Just then, two streams of burning hot solar rays shot out in the distance. Close to a dozen Parademons crowding around the same place were sliced in two the moment the heat vision swept across them, causing an explosion in the process.
Boom!
The smoke had barely cleared when a figure flew out into the sky.
The attacking Parademons could only register a blur before they were slammed out of the sky one by one.
“Alright. Now I'm really mad”. Kara appeared, looking embarrassed with her clothing ripped in several areas.
She wasn't wearing her Super suit made of strong material fiber. Instead, what she was currently putting on was a casual top and blue jeans.
Using this to fight against Parademons….
The Implications were obvious. Her clothes would easily get torn from any random exerting of force in this situation.
At first, Kara didn't think about this.
It was fine until she got surrounded by multiple Parademons, attacking her from all sides.
They couldn't penetrate her skin, but her clothes had been ruined.
One of those creatures even ripped off the material covering her ass while attempting to kill her
Her eyes glowed red with anger as she released her heat vision on everything she laid eyes on. Wherever her vision swept through, Parademons would be split in two.
“What a blessed race”. Seeing Kara easily deal with multiple assailants with heat vision, Aurelie couldn't help but be slightly envious.
Without turning around, she raised her spear and thrust backwards.
Squelch!
Screech!
A Parademon attacking from behind was impaled.
Boom!
“Damn it! There's so many of em".
Kara exclaimed with gritted as her eyes returned to normal. Another one of these wretched creatures had been destroyed, but looking to the skies, more reinforcements were on the way.
No matter how many they killed, they just kept on coming.
She ducked in the air and threw a punch at one of them but was attacked from behind by another.
“Ugh..... Get off”. With great strength, she grabbed towards her back and threw it out as flew forward to complete a follow-up punch.
Bam!
Direct hit. The Parademon's head exploded, sending blood and pieces of flesh in all directions.
At this point, the blonde looked completely disheveled. But she didn't care.
“Come on!” She roared and slammed her fist into her palm while looking at the coming hostiles with narrowed eyes.
BOOM!
The sound was so loud that Kara was woken out of her momentary battle craze.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The sounds continued with each one following the other in an interval of less than a second.
BOOM!
The already quaking Apokolips trembled even more as if it had just made collision with a heavy object.
Kara looked into the distance with her telescopic vision. She couldn't see anything, she couldn't make out a clear image. But whenever the sounds of collision appeared, a vague colorful flash would appear in different areas from time to time.
Kara knew who they were.
Amari and Darkseid moved at speeds she couldn't capture. Battling each other at her speed her current senses were unable to react to in any way.
Aurelie looked into the distance solemnly.
“He was really that strong......”.
.........
Bang!
The God Of Tyranny was sent crashing downwards once again as he sat on the receiving end of another powerful punch.
“Enough." For the first time in this fight, he roared with genuine fury. Even till this point, Uxas still found it difficult to accept.
To accept the fact that he would be beaten to this point in a one-on-one duel.
His Omega beams that he took great pride in was useless against the enemy. His physical prowess was equally matched as well.
What was worse was the fact that none of his attacks seemed to deal any damage to him at all.
Even his brother, the God of New Genesis who possessed powers similar to him couldn't push him to this extent.
“Rarghhhhh”.
Pulling himself to a halt in the air, he roared to the sky as his Omega energy was released to its fullest extent.
The dazzling red color exploded out of his form, cloaking Darkseid with a dark red energy aura from his head to his feet.
“How Dare You? I Am Darkseid". His voice, amplified under his power up spread across the entire planet.
Looking at the figure floating above him, his eyes seethed with rage as he released a giant blast towards his direction.
Similar to Amari's previous attack, everything within that direction was destroyed in its wake.
The beams flashed towards the enemy and effectively missed. Amari's body blurred and disappeared before the attack could reach him.
The space beside the New God swirled.
Then he appeared beside Darkseid with his fist clenched, pulled backward and sent forth a blow that didn't mince back on power.
“In case you haven't noticed. I don't care”.
Bam!
“Ugh!” Darkseid grunted aloud. The force from that blow surpassed all the others by a great deal. Because this time, Amari had augmented this one with vast amounts of energy instead of battling Darkseid with pure physical fitness.
After throwing so many punches in this sort time, Darkseid's armor finally had a noticeable large dent.
However, Amari was far from satisfied.
After connecting himself to the Sphere of Gods and making himself a hypothetical God, his physical body durability ad strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
There were very few beings in the entire DC Multiverse that could go toe to toe with him when it came to blows.
The stone skinned baldy in front of him was one of them.
This was a rare opportunity to battle someone who could withstand the full force of his blows. Amari certainly wouldn't pass up the chance.
Both beings had punched each other countless times in this short period.
And even with Amari using the full force of his physique, Uxas had yet to bleed.
It might be due to his New God Physiology that had evolved due to proximity to the source after hundreds of thousands of years. Or perhaps it was the Armor serving as a buffer. Maybe it was the combination of both.
Amari hadn't Inflicted any real damage aside from enrage the proud deity to no end.
So he disappeared and Darkseid who had just been thrown out had yet to stabilize when his enemy appeared behind him, sending an attack that surpassed the previous one.
The fist landed squarely on the New God's back causing him to groan.
Then his figure flew out in the opposite direction. Despite that, Darkseid was attacked yet again, a power infused punch landing straight on his chest.
Boom!
Uxas was sent spiraling downwards, completely unable to react to the chain attacks. His figure slammed against the earth, destroying the area around him and bounced back up slightly.
Space ripped open beside him and the same fist came yet again with the same power of the previous punch, doubled.
Bang!
Splat!
The figure was sent flying off, his body bounced off against the earth multiple times and dug a deep trench on the earth as the force pushed him backwards against the earth floor.
Dust and debris flew in all directions as Darkseid crashed once again.
Blood flew into the air for the first time since this fight began........ But Amari didn't give a damn. His figure rushed towards his target at insane speeds like a raging bull.
The Ankh symbol on Darkseid's belt glowed at that moment.
And Amari's powered fist smashed into the soil of Apokolips.
Boom!
The entire planet on the verge of collapse due to the fight suddenly cracked. From the point of impact, Amari saw a crack appear that seemingly split the planet into two halves.
A clear line appeared around Apokolips signifying the consequences of what Amari just did.
And the person in question didn't care.
Looking at the empty soil before him that was devoid of Uxas's body, his furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed.
He missed.
Darkseid had dodged his last attack before it could land on him.
Seeing this, Amari turned around and raised his head to look up.
And there he was, floating above in the air. However, the state he was in was completely different from before.
Uxas looked at Amari below coldly. The solemnity within his left eye couldn't be concealed in the slightest. As for the right eye..... It was bleeding.
The right side of Darkseid's face that bore Amari's previous punch did not make it out unscathed.
Blood flowed from that side continuously. As well as the lips and nose. The bleeding showing that Amari had successfully broken through Darkseid's layer of defense.
“As expected of the true form of the God of Tyranny”.
Amari praised while clapping his hands.
“Truly a worthy punching bag. My Workout shall be legendary”.
Uxas who once again had to stabilize himself in the air heard those words and gritted his teeth in fury.
During that last attack, he had teleported out of the way to successfully escape. If not, he would be in a worse state than he was now.
“..... What are you?”
Uxas uttered confused. There were few beings he had faced that could defeat him. One..... Was the old Gods. But even then, none of them did it alone. Another…. Was his father.
With narrowed eyebrows, Uxas realized that fighting like this wasn't going to succeed.
Amari looked at the floating Dark God and didn't chuckle.
“Isn't that already obvious?”
“Hmph! No matter”. And so, deciding that this battle had gone on long enough, Darkseid unleashed another trick he had up his sleeve.
The Omega Sanction.
His eyes glowed red and a flash of red light was projected towards Amari's consciousness attempting to trap him in a reality of infinite lives.
'Fade'
Darkseid's move hadn't even taken effect before it was nullified with nothing but a single thought.
At the same time, his telekinesis swept out towards his target.
“Roar!” Seeing that even the Omega Sanction didn't have any effect, Darkseid have up his idea to try to take control of Amari's mind.
“I have no choice”.
Then, he let out a loud roar. Following which, his body began to expand rapidly.
Darkseid's body grew larger and larger, escaping out of the planet's atmosphere, he soon reached the size of the full Apokolips.
“Know this..... You cannot defeat me.....”.
Floating in space, the giant figure of Darkseid had his only available eye glow with a bright red color.
He shot out his Omega beam in an attempt to erase everything on the planet at once.
However.......
“You don't think I'm going to let you do that, do you?”
'Shrink'
Before he could, his enlarged body suddenly reduced in size at a speed faster than its enlarging.
Less than a second later, the thousands of feet tall Darkseid was reduced to the same size he was before. A miniature giant.
“No!” Uxas took a look at himself, his eyes widening.
“This can't be”. He knew what this was. He just couldn't believe that someone was able to warp reality on a being as powerful as himself.
Following which, he felt a powerful telekinetic force immobilize him in place giving him no almost no room to resist.
The space in front of him swirled and Amari appeared before him, his hand flowing with dark red energy that seemed to want to devour the very space around them.
“Thanks.....”. Amari's voice fell into his ears.
“..... For staying still”. Amari said indifferently before thrusting his arm forward.
Bang!
Darkseid's true form was engulfed within Amari's aura of destruction.
The power expelled swept across the Godsphere. All the nearby areas in space had cracks appear in all directions as the shockwave of Amari's attack shattered space itself.
The red storm swept through the area. And then....... Everything was silent.
“Tch...... Unfair. I didn't even get to finish my workout”.
Floating within outer space, Amari muttered as his gaze peered into the endless void.
“Looks like you still had one more trick up your sleeve after all, Uxas".
Amari said as there was no one to be seen in front of him.
The blast from Amari's punch wasn't meant to kill Darkseid, but bring him to the state of near death.
However, his body was nowhere to be seen.
The God Of Tyranny, Uxas, for the first time in his life during a fight......... Had run away.
