He roared and drove another Space Blast Punch straight into the wound, his fingers plunging deep into the flesh as he grabbed hold. Before he could finish, several diamond-like stellar strikes and slashing claws smashed into him at close range, blasting him away with planet-shattering force. His scales burst apart, exposing blood-soaked muscle beneath.
He was not discouraged at all and instead laughed loudly as he raised a mass of bright red matter in his hand. "That means I win." "I have already pulled out your pilot. Let us see how you keep playing now."
What he had torn out was a large clump of Crimson Soul, weakened earlier by Diablo striking from behind and then crushed by frontal space detonation and Black Tiger Heart Rip. More than ten souls had been ripped free, leaving only a few remnants inside. With that sight alone, Belial knew the enemy could not hold much longer.
He did not hesitate after obtaining the souls and swallowed them immediately. Inside the body of Beast of the End, only three Crimson Soul remained, one of them seemingly the vessel tied to Super-Xianglong. The remaining souls were stunned, watching their companions vanish in an instant.
The strength of Beast of the End did not depend on the number of souls inside, but on the scale of what had been sacrificed to support the End. Yet with only three souls left, they had to face a hard question. Was this enough to sustain the End until it erased that Black Dragon?
They briefly considered splitting apart and fleeing in different directions. But they soon realized there was no choice left. Their souls flickered like flames as fear spread through them.
They could no longer move. More precisely, they could no longer disassemble, as some power bound their souls tightly in place. That power consumed everything at increasing speed, including the body, Authority, and even the souls themselves.
Everything that proved their existence was falling into the End. It was like watching oneself slowly erased, piece by piece, with no way to stop it. The answer was already clear, and only one being present could do this.
The End.
It should not have acted like this. It should have dragged all things equally toward the final outcome, without favor or intent. Yet now it was consciously imprisoning them, forcing them to remain as fuel.
Before they could think further, the part of their souls responsible for thought was completely erased.
Overlord Ridge roared as a blood-red glow spread across its surface. Another earth-shattering sound rang out, revealing a crimson domain that looked like a fragment of the final grave of countless things. Its eyes had become entirely different.
The roar spread deeper into the Void, triggering chain reactions that completely destroyed the remaining Divine Kingdom of more than ten fallen Crimson God. On the surface world, everything once again fell into an incomprehensible state of stillness, frozen beneath a blazing midday sun.
"Not again, right?"
Fei'er Li twitched an eye while sitting in a carriage, watching the scenery around him constantly change. The carriage itself shifted styles, the road altered, and everything felt replaced again and again. "Is this like last time? This is kind of interesting."
"I still cannot feel anything," said Nefit, while Luna watched with excitement. Ice Li was busy licking an ice pop, calmly noticing its flavor changing in strange ways.
"This is not some big shots fighting and casually affecting the whole world, is it?" Fei'er Li wondered aloud, confused why everything else changed except the people with him.
"…This is bad."
Holding a teacup, Alba watched as the cup, the tea, and even the mansion shifted like spliced fragments of reality. Her hand trembled slightly as she realized the others were frozen by the light. She looked at the small ring on her finger, which was faintly glowing and slowly writhing.
Back at the true battlefield, massive blood-red mist was drawn inward like a storm. It condensed into something indescribable, forming a white plasma beam. A pale, slender beam suddenly Blink, and Belial cursed as he realized the monster had entered Second Phase.
The beam cut across unknown distances, slicing everything cleanly apart. Even the guiding ghost-like Crystal obstacles he threw out were severed and erased without exploding. This was not a normal attack.
This was the concept of the End, actively guiding a target toward final erasure. It carried an unavoidable hit effect, capable of erasing space, time, and everything connected to the target. Though it missed at first, it eventually struck.
Even with Photon Reflection Shield and Electromagnetic Shield active, the beam pierced straight through him, leaving a massive, bloody wound. Belial crashed onto the remains of some unfortunate being. "This Second Phase is way stronger than the ones before."
The strange power lingered in the wound, blocking regeneration. Even Mephist had never encountered this before. He tried using Energy Field to draw it out, extracting strands of red mist into his hand.
The reaction came from inside his head. Fragmented signals and broken words echoed in his mind. He looked up, dodged another stellar strike, and stared at the beast within the crimson domain.
"End… Godzilla… model analysis in progress." "Progress: 1 percent."
Beast of the End watched in confusion as Belial, who had been fighting cautiously, suddenly ignited in blazing flames. A sun-like outline spread around him as he charged forward recklessly, firing multiple Heat Ray. Still, it did not matter, as long as it could erase this anomaly before it ceased to exist.
With only three Crimson God souls left inside, its endurance had dropped sharply. A storm of diamond strikes and slashing attacks rained down again. Belial pushed through with shields raised, enduring their shattering until he reached his target.
He struck first, punching the head aside before another plasma beam could fire. "Progress… two percent?" He inhaled deeply, eyes shining as he felt the red mist that dealt true damage taking shape as a usable power.
This time, he really had no choice but to eat. Belial changed his approach and adopted a fast left-right dodging style, because that blood-red haze only appeared near Overlord Ridge. If he wanted to absorb it, he had to stay within a limited range.
He deliberately began using Energy Field to capture that energy and draw it into his body. Every attempt caused serious damage to his physical form, but this was the End itself. Before this arc, it had been the most brutal presence in the entire Godzilla series of Tokusatsu shows.
At the start, it had wiped out all the old monsters except King Ghidorah, then after waking up, it slaughtered its way from Antarctica straight to Tokyo without even pausing to breathe. The authentic Spiral Heat Ray could destroy X-type space monsters outside Space while standing on Earth, and after Kaiser Boost, the Burning Mode flashing Heat Ray was even more terrifying.
Its combat skill was equally absurd, able to literally kick Anguirus around like a ball, using feints and sudden lunges with ease. On top of that, every other stat was overwhelming, offense, defense, resistance, and speed with almost no weakness. It was the true strongest King of Monsters.
I will dodge you for now. Once I get the template, we will see who has to dodge then.
"But this Second Phase is seriously insane. I could keep up when I went Burning before, but now I can barely hold on. This is ridiculous."
Belial was genuinely shocked by the strength of the Beast of the End. Close combat meant trading blows, and after just one clash, his grip trembled and blood burst from his palm. In raw power he was not completely outmatched, but when the Lord fought seriously, the true damage hurt even more than his own.
Whose subordinate is this, to be more overpowered than me?
After the exchange, Beast of the End experienced something new, something called pain. Two more wounds burned into its body from Heat Ray. This was strange and should not have happened.
It was the End, the conclusion, the final termination. No existence should be able to continue existing before it, let alone cause damage. It was not a god or a living being with soul or consciousness, but an inevitable outcome beyond concepts, yet it was being hurt.
It could understand what an attack was, but losing health made no sense. If this were like a Chosen Hero versus Evil Dragon RPG game, Beast of the End was not a boss or a mechanic. It was the END that appeared after every ending was cleared.
What Belial was doing now was like a character jumping out of the screen and slashing the END itself. Even more absurd was that a health bar actually appeared above its head. Watching him devour the red mist that represented its own concept made it feel confusion for the first time.
But it had to erase him. The End allowed no existence beyond itself, so everything had to enter the final conclusion.
"Roar!"
After the roar, the two massive beasts tore into each other. Beast of the End deliberately compressed its domain, forcing Belial to stay in close range. The benefit was that his progress bar rose faster, but the cost was that his health dropped even harder.
