862 Zʼs tiny Big Ball

The formation stood no chance against the mech assault and easily broke. Countless demons also suffered under the first assault, though they were already retaliating. The Marzu seemed to ignore such feeble attacks and directly ran into the army, much as they had done previously.

Z grinned as an idea struck him. Although the battalion really should have been saving its energy, Z had been feeling oppressed for too long. He could not help but want to unleash the attack he had been holding onto for so long.

The flames covering its body concentrated on to its left hand, while streaks of electricity began to dance around his right hand. The mech raised its hands above its head, allowing the flames and electricity to travel from its arms into the air. The two extremely volatile forms of energy seemed to combine effortlessly and began to gather into a massive ball.

”Z, I told you not to use this,” Luthor said admonishingly from within the mech as he observed what was happening.

”Just a small one, I promise,” Z said, his eyes gleaming with a frenzied energy. A layer of earth traveled over the mechʼs feet and across its body towards the growing ball of energy above its head. A number of other unique powers gathered and fed into the ball. It was tragic that Z could not feed the ball with his space abilities, but such was life.

Just as a small amount of each of the energies merged into the ball, Z stopped growing it. After all, if he made it too large, it would be a drain on the mechs own energy reserves.

”Big Ball of Ultimate Destruction!” he roared, although a number of the battalion members cringed, both at the action of announcing his attack and the name itself.

The mech hurled the ball towards the massive army of demons. He did not question why or how the devils were able to gather hundreds of thousands of demons in such short notice. He was just glad he could use them to test out his attacks guilt free. After all, these demons were formed by killing the original owners of their bodies.

The Marzu, who had not penetrated too deeply into the demon army yet, immediately pulled back as a panicked expression filled their faces.

”WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?” Feyore yelled as she struggled to keep space from ripping, but Z did not respond.

He just looked and waited for the attack to land. This attack could not be used in any other circumstance. It was only when they joined together and formed a mech, and the energies of all 1000 members melded together, could their unique powers be combined in such a way.

Then the ball landed onto the monument, and then exploded. All the Marzu strained themselves to ensure that space did not rip, because what it was doing could no longer be called ripples.

Space was bending like a trampoline on which a dozen bowling balls had been thrown. Light flashed in strange ways, as if it was bending around the explosion, while one massive shockwave traveled out, pulverizing anything in its path.

Zʼs smile froze as he suddenly had the mech pull back as quickly as he could, yet even then he could not escape the blast zone. First the mech was hit by the space tsunami, then the shockwaves and then the searing explosion! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Just as Z was about to pull out extreme countermeasures, the heat seemed to disappear. Once the mech which had been flung out due to the shockwave stabilized itself, with great help from its new wings, it turned to look back and saw a massive, blue barrier erected around the entire region.

Nothing inside was visible, as if it had been completely closed off permanently.

”Never do that again!” Feyore said extremely furiously as her body trembled. Clearly she was severely affected by whatever she had done to seal the region.

Z smiled awkwardly. It seemed he had underestimated the repercussions of the Big Ball of Ultimate Destruction, although he was somewhat glad the name seemed to fit.

”Shall we move to the next monument?” he asked sheepishly.

Before Feyore could answer, the sound of shattering glass filled the air. Sensing extreme danger, the group looked over at the blue barrier and discovered a figure floating above the barrier, wearing a gray robe.

”That was quite impressive. The scale of that attack actually reached the Mid Nascent realm,” the figure said. He waved his hand again, and the entire barrier shattered. Yet instead of a chaotic storm releasing once the stopper was removed, the scene seemed to be completely frozen.

”Your little performance actually forced me to move a little earlier than I planned,” the man said. ”Though thatʼs not too bad. This is quite useful.”

All the energy within the sealed zone seemed to gather into a tiny yellow flame, flickering on the tip of the robbed man.

All the Marzu as well as the mech looked at the robe figure solemnly. The aura that the figure radiated was actually less than that of the two devils they faced previously. But somehow, while being weaker, he seemed even more dangerous than the previous two devils combined together.

”Rejoice, for your souls are to be sacrificed in honor of a great deity!”

The figure crushed the flame within his fist, yet somehow lit up the entire sky as he did. A gold light painted the entire sky as divine energy filled the sky.

”What is happening?” asked one of the retreating Marzu as it panicked. The situation had changed so drastically, so quickly.

”Itʼs a religious zealot!” Feyore answered with gritted teeth. ”He… heʼs been using the souls of the demons we killed and preparing for a ritual. The previous attack must have disturbed him, forcing him out of his hole. We only have one chance to stop him. We have to…”

Before Feyore could finish her words, the robbed figure appeared in front of her and her body froze.
