Chapter 198: True Warrior's Duel Scroll!
Just as the two fists were about to pulverize him, GOD let out a cold, sharp laugh. His heart was filled with nothing but absolute disdain.
Lower lifeforms will always be lower lifeforms... They can't even perceive a trick of this caliber... Two pieces of trash who only know how to swing their fists...
He spread his arms wide, allowing the fists to smash into his form without a single defensive move, laughing rampantly:
"When did you fall under the illusion that I was still standing here?"
It was a phantom. The "GOD" remaining in the world was merely a lingering image. Using the dense temporal energy of the River of Time as a smokescreen, the real GOD had already slipped into a different timeline.
Upon hearing the deity's boast, the smile on King's face widened. He laughed even harder, his voice carrying a more dominant edge than the "God" before him.
"Oh? And when did you fall under the illusion that you werent the real body?"
[TRUE WARRIOR'S DUEL SCROLL] — ACTIVATE!
A blinding golden radiance erupted from King's chest. It surged into the River of Time, forcibly locking onto GOD's specific essence signature and dragging His physical body back into reality with a violent jerk.
The speed of the pull was absolute. GOD didn't even have time to register that He had been caught before the aura of death enveloped Him once again.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Three terrifying forces collided simultaneously, triggering a massive energy storm. But this time, the explosion didn't spread.
Inside a shimmering golden sphere ten kilometers in diameter—the space created by the scroll—enough energy to liquefy a star was trapped and vibrating.
GOD was hit by the tag-team combination of Saitama and King. His eyes saw stars as His Divine Essence plummeted at a rate that can only be described as "hopeless." His very vessel began to crack and flake away.
Damn it...
Realizing that nearly 30% of His total Life Force had been deleted by that single exchange, GOD's hope hit rock bottom, replaced by absolute, cold despair.
What are these two monsters?! How long has it been in the lower world? How did they become THIS powerful?!
In GOD's perception, the current King and Saitama were thousands of times stronger than they had been during their last showdown weeks ago.
I have to run! If I trade blows with them even a few more times, my Essence will be drained dry! I will truly die!
GOD turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the edge of the golden barrier. He burned his remaining Life Force, unleashing a tidal wave of chaotic, violent energy that slammed into the walls of the arena.
But after seeing the result, GOD stood frozen in horror.
Why...? Why won't the barrier break? WHY?!
He refused to believe it and slammed His body into the wall again, only to be bounced back by a force even more horrific than his own.
King's steady voice rang out in GOD's ear, dripping with mockery:
"It's useless. This is my private arena. Unless one side is beaten to death, no one leaves."
"Private Arena?!"
GOD whipped His head around. King and Saitama were closing in, staring Him down with the eyes of predators.
If He had eyes to weep with, He would have been crying right now.
THIS is what you call a duel?! What kind of 'True Warrior' makes it a two-on-one beatdown?!
His connection to the River of Time was dead. All external links were severed. This is a death trap!!
Neither King nor Saitama were the type to drag things out. Having confirmed the target was secured, they lunged forward, raising their fists in unison.
Seeing the two approaching with such terrifying momentum, GOD's knees hit the void with a heavy thud. He spoke in a fawning, desperate tone:
"Wait! H-Heh... can we talk about a settlement?"
"At this stage of the game? You must be joking."
What followed was a beatdown of legendary proportions.
King and Saitama used GOD as a human-shaped ping-pong ball, bouncing Him back and forth between their fists.
King's fist, shimmering with golden light, smashed into GOD's face, launching Him backward.
Saitama was already waiting in His flight path. As the deity neared him, his gaze turned sharp, and his muscles expanded with a series of crisp pops.
"Killer Series... SUPER SERIOUS PUNCH!"
"GAH!"
Under the violent pincer assault, even a God couldn't hold on.
His form became increasingly translucent as His Essence was ground into nothingness. He could no longer maintain His humanoid form and began to shrivel and shrink.
By the end, GOD couldn't even manage a coherent sentence. He had been reduced to a shapeless, quivering lump of essence. Only a single, massive eye filled with chaotic light remained, staring at them with pure, concentrated hatred.
King leaned over and plunged two fingers directly into that staring pupil.
"Can't even look anymore, can you? You mad?"
The words were barely out when King's fingertips erupted with absolute, destructive energy. GOD let out one final, silent wail before dissolving into millions of fading specks of light.
And just like that, the mastermind who had plotted against Earth for millennia—the entity known as GOD—was beaten into a formless blob and erased from reality by two bored, overpowered humans.
GOD. IS. DEAD.
