Datch and the Emperor engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing destructive energy that mowed down everything blocking their path and creating a terrifying scene reminiscent of the end of the world.
Datch was clad in the Imperial Armor, holding the Aurora Sword in one hand and wearing the Infinity Gauntlet on the other.
Primitive energy burned around the Emperor, and the blade of his sword was wreathed in flames.
Every single blow contained the immeasurable power of the highest heavens, capable of easily severing the lifelines of all things in the world and leading them to eternal destruction.
Crash!!
When the Emperor's sword came down, Datch swung his own sword with trembling hands and tried to block it.
Even with the enhancement of the Power Stone, he was still struggling to keep up.
Every one of the opponent's attacks felt as powerful as a collision between stars.
Datch took several steps back to regain his stance.
Before he could counterattack, the Emperor's assault began again.
The flame-wrapped longsword slashed horizontally.
The blade sliced through the folded dimensions of space and appeared in various places simultaneously.
They completely sealed off every escape route for Datch, leaving him with no choice but to block the attacks with his sword.
After blocking another attack, Datch used the power of the Space Stone in the Infinity Gauntlet.
In an instant he rewrote the physical laws of the space where the Emperor existed, transforming the invisible space into an indestructible barrier in an attempt to trap the enemy.
Clash!!
When the Emperor's sword struck it, a terrifying shockwave raised the surrounding yellow sand.
The next moment, the barrier that had appeared indestructible shattered into pieces.
A terrifying storm followed immediately after.
As the shockwave approached, Ferrus and Vitan M crouched down and drove magnetic anchors into the ground to stabilize their stances.
Valdor thrust the Spear of Apollonian he was holding into the ground in front of him so that he would not be blown away by the shockwave.
"That's good!!"
Seeing that the spatial barrier had been destroyed, Datch immediately used the Space Stone to tear apart the reality surrounding the Emperor.
The space where the other party existed was severed from the phase structure of the universe and sealed inside an independent closed bubble with no exit.
The Emperor was isolated inside that bubble, completely cut off from the physical laws of this universe, the flow of energy, and even the flow of time.
But in the next moment, the Emperor punched through the spatial bubble and escaped from it.
Datch retreated, created distance, changed tactics, and chose to use the Time Stone.
Green light surged like a tide, covering the entire battlefield and rapidly reversing everything around them.
The deep craters in the sand disappeared. The sandstorms blown up by the shockwaves swirled back again.
Everything was reversing, as if a videotape were being rewound at high speed.
The power of the Time Stone had captured the Emperor, and he was trying to weaken the Emperor with this method.
At first the Emperor was indeed swept along by the power of time and felt as if time were rapidly rewinding.
But he quickly noticed the problem and instantly freed himself from the control of time.
After that, no matter how much time reversed, he remained unmoved and continued his attack on Datch.
"Eh, is this allowed?! Isn't this against the rules?!"
Datch's lips twitched. The power of the Time Stone had no effect on the Emperor.
This person's status and settings are way too strong!!
In a moment of ruthlessness, Datch unleashed the full power of the Infinity Stones in order to fight the Emperor.
Even so, the Dutch side gained no advantage whatsoever.
The Reality Stone can customize reality. It can change or erase anything in the real world, and can even materialize any thought, fantasy, or other illusion.
The moment the Emperor's lightning exploded, Datch, with a single thought, transformed the fierce thunder into countless vivid rose petals that slowly floated up into the air.
This bizarre sight shocked everyone on the battlefield.
In particular, the Emperor well understood just how terrifying the psychic lightning he had released was.
Even void warships can be easily destroyed by psychic lightning.
As a result, it had been turned into petals by the other party.
It was no wonder they had the audacity to kidnap his sons. They must have possessed considerable skill.
Realizing that long-range attacks were ineffective, the Emperor decisively abandoned them and chose to switch to close combat.
Datch tried to use the Reality Stone to remodel the Emperor's flame sword and golden armor.
However, this time he failed.
The distortions and modifications of the Reality Stone had no effect whatsoever on the Emperor.
After that, Datch used the Mind Stone in an attempt to interfere with the Emperor's spirit.
However, the other party's will was extremely firm.
No matter how hard Datch tried, everything was in vain.
"Don't you think this guy is ridiculously strong?"
Seeing his attacks fail again and again, Datch was completely dumbfounded.
He had thought that with the Emperor's armor and the Infinity Gauntlet equipped with four gems, he could win easily.
After all, both of these items are top-tier in their respective uses.
But when they actually clashed, he realized the true value of "one versus four."
It is no wonder that he is a man even the Chaos Gods fear.
"Unbelievable… how am I supposed to play this?!" Datch cursed in his heart.
"This combat power is clearly excessive. Are the Devs drunk?"
"This is supposed to be a science-fiction world! Do you even know what a science-fiction world is in the first place?!"
Everyone else is playing with technology — warships, bombs, giants, powered suits, and so on.
The Yellow Old Man is actually a fake cultivator who is secretly exploring the path of technology.
It speaks of the idea that great power returns to oneself, and that one's own heart is the world.
Physical laws and universal constants are meaningless before his will.
He is not the strongest person within the rules. He is the person who redefines the rules.
The Emperor was also looking at Datch, and the same astonishment floated in his eyes.
Reversing time, rewinding time, distorting reality — these are all powers comparable to those of the gods, and this man actually possesses all of them.
Such numbers do not exist among the Chaos Gods.
Just who is this man?
Meanwhile, deep in the Warp, the gazes of the Chaos Gods were fixed on the battlefield.
The moment the battle began, they noticed each other's existence.
At first they were puzzled. Why had these two ended up fighting? Weren't they allies?
Had the Cursed One learned of the King of Absurdity's evil schemes and chosen to engage him in a life-or-death struggle?
Upon realizing this, the Chaos Gods immediately became excited.
Cursed ones! For the honor and dignity of every life-form that exists in the galaxy, you must fight with all your strength!
Defeat that damned, foolish human.
If you defeat that damned King of Absurdity,
if we can defeat you again, the entire galaxy will be ours.
Haha, keep going just like that, Cursed One!
...
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Ferrus and Vitan M were engaged in fierce combat with Valdor.
Valdor swung the Spear of Apollonian and fought the two Primarchs.
His movements were as precise as a machine adjusted to its limits.
Every deflection, thrust, and rotational movement was executed with extreme precision.
Ferrus's warhammer struck the shaft of Valdor's spear with a low roar.
Valdor's body slightly collapsed, and his knees bent.
But in that instant he used that momentum to spin and deflect Ferrus's hammerhead.
At the same time, the tip of the spear drew an arc and thrust toward the ribs on Vitan M's side.
Vitan M dodged sideways. The tip of the spear grazed his power armor.
A hot, smoking scratch was left on the silver-gray beetle.
The two showed well-coordinated teamwork. Ferrus took the lead in the attack; every blow of his warhammer possessed power sufficient to shatter the armor of a warship.
Vitan M, a master of defense, drew silver arcs around his own body with his longsword, completely cutting off every escape route for Valdor.
They did not need to exchange a single word. They cooperated perfectly, as if they were brothers by birth.
However, Valdor's combat ability must not be underestimated.
During the final battle on Terra, Valdor boarded the Vengeful Spirit after a long fight.
His body and mind had reached their limits, and without the help of medicine he would not have been able to survive.
But the present Valdor was not that weakened; his energy and physical strength were at their peak.
The Spear of the Sun gripped in his hand burned with golden flames, leaving scorch marks on the weapons of Ferrus and Vitan M with every blow.
For a while he fought the two Primarchs and held his own against them.
Of course, these two do not appear as the key to the battle in this game.
The Nameless One and the Emperor are the real ones.
As time passed, the battle between the two sides grew increasingly intense.
During the combat, Datch used points to unlock the ultimate form of the Emperor's armor.
The Emperor's armor is the most powerful armor in the Realm of Light and symbolizes the Heavenly Path itself.
Once the strongest form is released, one can obtain unparalleled combat power and become able to smash all the evil of the world.
However, the Emperor's side was equally resolute.
Warp energy flowed into the body of the Master of Mankind like a flood that had breached a dike.
The Emperor transformed himself into a bottomless vessel and greedily absorbed the energy of the Warp.
His golden armor changed into white-hot matter, as if it were the interior of burnt metal.
The outline of the armor began to blur — not because there was insufficient light, but because his body was leaping into a higher dimension.
With that much power, three-dimensional space could no longer completely contain him.
Above the planet, the sky split open.
What was cracking was not the clouds, but reality itself.
Like striking a mirror from behind, cracks spread from the center outward.
Light from outside this universe overflowed from every crack.
The sky became a transparent window, and on the other side of that window was the Warp.
A gigantic, mountain-like spherical eye appeared from the crack. It was ancient, cold, and full of hunger.
Fortunately, no one lived on this desolate planet.
Otherwise, a single glance from this monster would drive living beings into madness and make them scream.
Around the gigantic eye were countless terrifying monsters.
Every one of them looked like the product of a psychiatric patient's imagination — distorted and terrifying, impossible to fully express in realistic words.
Night suddenly arrived. Countless bolts of lightning crawled and writhed like snakes, covering everything in the blink of an eye. The air was filled with the bitter taste of sand.
The Emperor's body shone with unbelievable brilliance and transformed into a human-shaped white-hot mass, like the core of a star compressed to its limit.
His eyes were two points of light brighter, hotter, and more focused than the surrounding light.
It carried an absolute, unquestionable sense of judgment, as if a god were watching over sinners.
His body contained energy beyond imagination — power enough to crumple a planet like paper and shatter a star into pieces.
Yet he did not do so. On the contrary, he poured all his strength solely into breaking through Datch's defenses in the coming battle.
"You are extremely strong." The Emperor's will was projected directly into Datch's brain from the center of that light.
"But that is not enough to produce sufficient results."
"Give up. You have absolutely no chance of defeating me."
Datch said nothing, but in his heart he was thinking, "What the hell!"
Even though the Emperor is the Dark King, this is going too far.
I used all the items and I still can't win?
Without waiting for Datch's reply, the Emperor transformed into a light-filled giant and launched a fierce attack on Datch.
Datch activated the "Heaven and Earth" ability of the Emperor's armor and faced the Emperor. The Aurora Sword gripped in his hand emitted an unbelievably dazzling light.
Two giants stood on the surface of the desolate planet. Above them stretched a cracked sky, with countless eyes peering in from the Warp.
At their feet spreads a lake of lava that has been vitrified and is slowly cooling while steaming.
Every time they breathed, a hurricane rose in the surrounding air. Every time their hearts beat, a terrifying thunderclap resounded throughout the world.
The Emperor launched continuous attacks. His longsword sliced through the air, leaving dazzling trails.
Datch swung the Aurora Sword and blocked the attacks.
The sound of metal colliding was like the sound of the end-times bell, unleashing unparalleled power.
Datch's Infinity Gauntlet had also been enlarged in Titan form.
The four Infinity Stones, each emitting a different color of light, granted him power.
The Power Stone gave him the power to destroy everything and allowed him to fight the Emperor on equal terms.
The Reality Stone made it possible to customize and change anything in the real world, altering the environment of the battlefield.
The Mind Stone granted him immunity to all mental and psychological attacks.
Thanks to the Time Stone he could freely entrust himself to the flow of time, and even if he were dragged into the void beyond space-time, he could move about freely.
Even equipped with the four Infinity Stones and the ultimate form of the Emperor's armor, he could not even fight the Emperor properly.
Winning is completely impossible.
This is being done without the support of faith.
If it were the type blessed with the power of faith like 42K, it would probably have been even more difficult.
Planting the Emperor in the ground and dressing it up as ginseng seems to be a rather difficult task.
The Siege of Terra that occurred during the final battle on the Vengeful Spirit continues to grow in importance even now.
The Four Chaos Gods lent Horus their full power and used the countless deaths brought to both sides in the Battle of Terra to perform a large-scale ritual.
For Horus to obtain an advantage that overwhelms the conventional Emperor, there is no choice but to drag the entire solar system into the Warp.
In the final battle, if the Emperor is prepared to sacrifice all of humanity and ascend to the position of Dark King, then Horus and the Chaos Gods are nothing more than stray dogs destined to be kicked to death by the ascended Emperor.
When the Emperor rose from the earth in the form of the sun, he had come to within a hair's breadth of promotion, but he had already decided the course of the Battle of Terra.
The moment the sun rose, the daemons all cried out in terror at the birth of the Dark King, the King of Destruction.
The birth of the Dark King would come at the cost of the destruction of the entire Warp and the real universe.
Not only would humanity perish, but Chaos and even everything in the galaxy would be destroyed.
All that would remain would be a sun emitting cold light.
When Abaddon and the others learned the truth from Erebus, they were completely dumbfounded.
In the end, when the Emperor ascends to godhood, everyone — including the Chaos Gods — will be buried together with the Emperor and become sacrificial offerings for the ritual.
"I absolutely cannot win alone."
"In this situation, there is no choice but to call for help."
After the collision of weapons, Datch was blown away, but he used the Space Stone to create a safe distance between himself and the Emperor.
Then Datch took out an unused "River God Experience Card."
They first planned to send the three of them in and have the Yellow Old Man assaulted by the group.
This "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" IP universe River God Experience Card can summon a slowly speaking River God and drive Nüwa mad.
Then let's have the other party use the ability to duplicate the item into three.
One of its most troublesome functions is that it can be used for anything.
Datch threw the summoning card into the air and shouted, "Come forth, River God!"
