Point-of-View: Satan

———————————————————————————

I still have plenty of my Aura intact, these injuries are nothing to me, I can heal them instantly. However...this relentless pain being inflicted upon me, I...I cannot take it anymore!

I did not want to waste my powers on these weaklings, but they have me too severely outnumbered...I have no choice but to use it. This is humiliating...I have never had to resort to this against any opponent but God!

"Release all Limiters...Unleash True Demon Lord Mode!" I snapped, my Aura bursting out and sending the Deities coming in towards me flying away as my power surged drastically.

I can gather and store dark energy from Hell indefinitely, and while unleashing the stored energy immensely boosts my powers...it fades quite quickly, which means that within just a few minutes, the several decades and centuries worth of dark energy I gathered will be used up.

And it will take just as long once again to replenish all that energy. That is why I only use it against the most powerful enemy I have, God! But I have no choice but to use it here...there will be no point in holding it back if these insects manage to kill me!

As Inferno blasted out flames towards me with a fierce roar, I evaded it and flew up above him, before I slammed my fist onto the top of his snout, his jaws snapping shut as a few teeth broke off, before he was sent shooting down towards the ground and crashed with immense force.

Vapora and Flash then swooped down towards me from either side, blasts of water and lightning bursting out towards me rapidly. I fired out a Destruction Ray to vaporize the water and lightning, before I shot towards Vapora, grabbing her tail before she could react and swinging her towards Flash, the Electro Dragon Deity.

They slammed onto each other and got sent zooming away through the air rapidly, right as Geod flew up behind me with a snarl, massive boulders of earth converging in towards me.

It takes me a moment to adjust to this sharp increase in power, so I cannot move too extravagantly until then, needing to keep my movements as simple as possible.

But I think I have achieved that now...I rapidly flew into Geod’s open jaws, bursting out through the back of his head before firing out a Destruction Ray through his back and out through his chest, killing him.

Yes, now, this is more like it! I then shot towards Charybdis, the Rival Aqua Deity, floating in a large mass of water in the air...he fired out several powerful blasts and slashes of water at me, I ignored them as I flew in at him at my top speed, compressing black flames into my fist.

As I closed it and he began to fly away, I put on a burst of speed to get closer and then slammed my fist onto the body of water while unleashing the immense charged up black flames in my fist, instantly evaporating every drop of water and severely boiling his skin.

I then fired out a massive Destruction Ray to blast off his head, erasing all traces of it, right as I felt some shallow cuts appear across my back, as Aurora sprang up behind me with a roar.

I spun around and struck her stomach with the back of my fist as she dug her claws into my arm, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain from her as she coughed out blood with an agonized wheeze, before she got sent flying back, her claws tearing apart my forearm.

I deliberately avoided killing her, it would be best if I simply incapacitate her and then deal with her later. I cannot afford to have her turn the tables by resurrecting to be even more powerful than before.

Suddenly, a powerful blast of wind struck me and sent me shooting across the air, before Titan sprang up towards me and swung both his fists in at either side of me. Hm, I believe that was two combined wind blasts, not just one, otherwise I would not have been pushed across this much distance. Now, then...

I spread out my wings to stabilize myself in mid-air, before stopping both his fists by grabbing his wrists before they could slam into me. I then pulled violently, tearing off both arms before zipping forward feet first towards his chest.

My feet slammed onto his chest with a loud cracking sound, shattering his ribs and sending him plummeting down with immense force, crashing onto the ground as blood gushed out of his armless shoulders, before I finished him off with a Destruction Ray to the head.

Hm, the ones who hit me with the wind blast were the Aero Dragon Deity, Cerulea and the Rival Aero Deity, Garuda. I then flung Titan’s arms towards the two of them, who narrowly evaded being hit.

I then swerved away as a light blast came shooting towards me, easily evading it. Hm, Lux, the Light Dragon Deity. Of all the Deities, she is likely the biggest threat to my forces and I.

I shot towards her while evading her light blasts, grimacing as I closed in and began feeling myself starting to get weaker. She is unleashing light energy into the air around her, how troublesome. I must eliminate her immediately.

As I closed in on her, the Space Dragon Deity, Void, suddenly teleported in front of me, starting to aim his portal at me before I swiftly obliterated his neck with a Destruction Ray, decapitating him right as a wave of lava burst out of the portal on his chest.

I teleported away before it could fully engulf me, having sustained some severe burns...with the Space Dragon dead I can finally teleport again.

And these injuries are inconsequential, it is nothing that I cannot heal from. Three powerful blasts of flames came shooting in towards me, which I swiftly countered by forming thick walls of water, clouds of steam bursting out around me upon impact.

Ah, the Rival Pyro Deity, Cereberus the Hellhound. I believe he dislikes that title, as he has no affiliation to Hell...after all, if he did, he would not be about to die right now.

He rejoined into one, as killing one of his three bodies while split would severely weaken him. However, having a single target instead of three is much more convenient to me. He will not live to regret it.

As I teleported in towards him and he sprang back in alarm, I was suddenly brought to my knees as a devastatingly powerful lightning blast hit me from above, and a massive light energy blast came shooting in towards me from behind.

The light blast struck me as Cereberus simultaneously fired out a massive wave of flames at me, which engulfed me as the light blast weakened me. I grimaced as the attacks faded, healing as quickly as possible as a smoke cloud rose up around me, teleporting away to a gap inside a collapsed building to my left.

"Where is he!?" Came one of Cereberus’s voices.

"He must have teleported away!" Snapped the second head.

"Or maybe we wiped out all traces of him and it’s over?" Suggested the third head hopefully.

"Do not be foolish, if it were that easy to kill him, we would not be struggling like this," Chimed in Kw-Uhnx-Wa, the Thunderbird.

So, she’s the one who hit me with that lightning blast. I have already recovered from those injuries...and while that light energy attack did weaken me, the extent is quite negligible.

I then burst out from behind my hiding place and shot towards them, halting as the Rival Aero Deity, Garuda, swooped down towards me with a violently swirling wind blade poised to strike.

I shot up towards him, allowing him to slice off my left arm, before I reached for his throat with my other hand and ripped it out with a violent twist, eliciting a gurgling gasp of pain from him as he began to plummet to the ground.

I only have about half a minute left before this power boost fades, and only five Elemental Deities are dead so far. In that case, I shall simply try to kill them all in one go.

I raised my arms and began forming a sphere of Destruction, swirling violently as I powered it with all the remaining stored dark energy I had at my disposal.

Ah, it appears they’ve realized what I’m doing and are retreating in a hurry...no matter, they can run as far as they want to. There is no escaping this, victory belong to m-...!

I suddenly found myself coughing out blood, most of my torso wiped out in an instant, the Destruction energy I’d gathered fading, before a hand grabbed the top of my head.

"Hiya, how’s it going?" Smirked Anarchy triumphantly through a portal behind me, slapping my face with a laugh.

"I shall kill you for your interference, you insufferable pest!" I snapped furiously, as I began to rapidly regrow my body, before she formed a strange sphere of energy below my neck, keeping me from regenerating.

"Aren’t my Chaos Blasts just the fucking best? Alright, then, let’s get to it, shall we?" She remarked, before another person emerged from the portal, placing one hand on me and the other on her, "Let me introduce you, this is one of my Aberration Skill users...I call his power Integration. He can integrate any living thing into another, creating a hybrid of the two. He can choose to combine both personalities and create a new individual...or he can leave one of the two original personalities intact while killing off the other one. Wanna guess which option he’s going for right now?"

N-no, this cannot be happening, I-I cannot die like this! I can feel myself fading, and I am helpless to stop it! Damn it...at the very start of this invasion, before doing anything else, I...I should have killed her first...
