Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1082 No Holding Back

The 7 voices, each representing a distinct entity, declared altogether that they would kill Kahn/Byakuya after revealing their discontent as the Hero of Space was forced by the latter to use his Domain of Sacred Divinity.

Five of these entities were the Divine Spirits while two were the additional Demonic Spirits that Sasakibe Ryuken, the Hero of Space, contracted in his original world and were brought along with him.

His Divine Ability called Soul Possession, a favorable trump card in this case, allowed him to merge with these spirits in this world without any consequences unlike his home world, making it worthy of being selected.

Just the first form of the Shuten Doji alone was enough to slaughter dozens of saints all by himself. Because it contained the blood magic, space force, and Toranagaʼs eternal fire.

The only reason why it failed was because the one person he used against just minutes ago was none other than Kahn who possibly was the only one person completely impervious to those attacks in the whole world.

But this form where all the 7 spirits had merged and taken possession of Ryukenʼs body instead… Even Kahn had no idea how to overcome this situation.

”Ah, a bunch of ghosts declaring their intentions to kill me as if my opinion or consent to that matter is irrelevant…

So barbaric.” spoke Kahn nonchalantly.

So what if these were some powerful entities from different worlds… he was a world disaster in the shape of a man. Thereʼs no way Kahn would feel threatened by mere ghosts.

”Iʼm called Ōkuninushi, human child. Tell me, are you ready to face the implications of incurring our wrath?

If you have any last words, it is time to utter them.” spoke the regal voice from behind the mask.

[Ōkuninushi… wasnʼt he the leader of the Gods before Amaterasu took charge in Shintoism? Is he a divine spirit in Ryukenʼs home world?] wondered Kahn for a moment.

A god in folklore and culture on earth was also a divine spirit in another world. This showcased how vastly all the worlds made in the image of Vantrea were interconnected.

Kahn then looked in a certain direction and spoke in a stoic voice…

”Do we have time to spend a whole chapter on character introduction of these divine spirits and their powers, or do we just get to fighting straight away?” he asked skeptically.

Meanwhile, a certain someone beyond the constraints of time and dimensions, who was just about to go full-on nerd mode, started sweating as Kahn thwarted the plans to flex this beingʼs knowledge and research on the gods and deities of ancient Japan.

”Who is he talking to? Does he have divine spirits as well?” asked Toranaga, confused.

”I take that silence as a ʼNoʼ. So letʼs get started, ” said Kahn, directing his gaze back to the Sacred Divinity.

”But first… letʼs isolate the battlefield.” declared Kahn and swung his left palm, directed at the Heroʼs Party and Omega.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In a mere second, all of them were teleported 30 kilometers away from the battlefield, losing the vision of Ryukenʼs domain.

Right then…

”My lord has sent us all away for your safety. Wait here patiently while he faces the Hero of Space.” spoke Omega/Raiden.

”What? No way! We have to get back in case something happens to Ryuken-sama!

He told us before that if he was forced to use his domain, then there was a chance that he would lose his mind and control over his own body.

We must go back!” exclaimed Kagura.

All the other companions including Dosho and Kensei nodded in agreement.

However…

Clink!

Omega took out both Raijin and Kyojin katanas, staring at them with an emotionless countenance as he firmly declared…

”That wasnʼt a request.”

----------------

At the same time…

”Since youʼre using your best powers, allow me to introduce mine,” spoke Kahn, and the very next moment…

Blip!

Now, the Domain of Sacred Divinity was suddenly encapsulated by a pitch-black dome-like barrier that blocked everything from outside from intervening and also stopped anything from inside from leaving.

”Arhggg…. Whatʼs happening?” said Ōkuninushi, his voice seemingly groggy.

”This canʼt be… weʼre being suppressed by this darkness.” said the female demonic spirit.

”Dimensional Domain activated.” said Kahn and soon, all his physical stats returned to normal.

While using the dimensional domain, any opponent within the 50-kilometer radius, lost 50% of their physical and magical stats while raising Kahnʼs own by 50% as well.

So in a sense, Kahn had negated the first of the previous debuffs placed on him by Domain of Sacred Divinity.

However, his reduced affinity to elemental damage was still a matter to be concerned about.

”First Form: Commandment of the King!”

The surrounding 40 kilometers within the domain were now overtaken by an intagible force without a single resistance.

The 1st form of the Dimensional Domain, called the Commandment of the King… had a different function.

It was no longer just a pitch-black realm, void of life or a single construct.

Now, it created a different world where Mana and World Energy were manipulated at Kahnʼs will.

[Alert! All the previous elemental debuffs placed on the host have been nullified. The first form of the dimensional domain has bent the rules of nature and counterattacked the previous domain effect.] reported the system.

With this, Kahn negated the second debuffs placed on him, making him return to his original raw strength.

”Weʼre not done yet.” spoke Kahn and soon, he created a massive 500-meter-wide sphere of pure darkness high in the sky.

Shoot!

Rumble!

However… what happened next was this sphere expanded with the aura of darkness.

Woosh!

Woosh!

Soon, incomparably strong gusts of wind spread apart in the 15-kilometer radius, and one after another, the massive landscape started crumbling.

All the statues of gods and deities started being sucked inside by this incredible force that somehow also started sucking in their Mana and World Energy at the same time.

”Black Sun!” declared Kahn in a domineering voice as he created the black hole made from Space Law, Gravity Law, and True Dimension.

This skill was a gift left behind by the Martial Emperor during the Conclave of Heroes.

Kahn had no intentions to hide his most powerful forms and skills anymore. Because even he knew that if he held back as usual, he could possibly die here since he was fighting 7 Divine Spirits who had yet to reveal their powers as well.

[Last time, the Martial Emperor used it against Hero of Time. Now… I will use it against the Hero of Space.] he spoke to himself with a determined mind.

BOOM!!

A thunderous aura arose and sent shockwaves in the nearby 40 kilometers. The ground quaked and craters formed as if a meteorite had struck and caused earthquakes.

Soon, Kahnʼs human face and claws turned to that of a wolf, and the skin and 2 horns appeared from the sides of his head, turning into that of a Basilisk.

Flap!

Wiggle!

In mere seconds, a 600-meter-long massive tail and 500-meter-wide wings of a dragon sprung out of his body.

And now, Kahn had become a formidable 1-kilometer tall being who had thousands of weapons including 500 meter long versions Lucifer, Gungnir, Beowolf, Sigrun, and Vidarr.

Along with them, millions of 10-meter-long arrows, swords, spears, tridents, and daggers also spread in both the ground and the sky.

Shing!

A 500-meter-long version of Muramasa appeared on Kahnʼs waist, carrying immeasurable might.

Kahn, in his bipedal monster form clad in samurai armor with thousands of weapons, let it be bows, swords, halberds, or all forms of weapons he could think of suspended in the air.

Swing!

He pointed the ancient rank katana at the equally tall Ryuken who embodied the 7 divine spirits and revealed the most powerful form that made him as strong as a 7th-stage saint.

”Apostle of War.”
