Is It Over?

The 6-meter tall humanoid creature has a pure black body which also has armored parts tougher even a Dragon's adamantine scales.

The engineers watching from afar estimated that not even the strongest magic vehicle could scratch the humanoid creature's body.

Splash!

Azazel finished off the dazed Demon King Vashon, tearing his head and bisecting his entire body.

"Cronos!!!" Darthoxis is growling from anger.

The humanoid creature named Cronos is the Demon God, rejected from Mara and anywhere separated from all the worlds.

No one knew besides the Gods where Cronos was sealed, but now, he was unsealed and summoned to Terra.

"Why is the muscle head God of War in the battlefield? Are you kicked out?" Cronos grinned, poking fun to Darthoxis.

Darthoxis would have charged in to teach the bastard a lesson, but he has changed his ways since he met the young girl.

The young girl, which is Veil in Runa's body, has always shown a calm demeanor akin to Archangels and Gods.

She rarely shows spiking emotions, making decisions with a level-headed approach.

Even now, in front of the Demon God's oppressive presence, the girl is not even batting an eye, angrily glaring at the skies where the Dark Clown's voice could be heard.

In truth, The Dark Clown Kafka destroyed their own body to summon the Demon God which caused for only the spiritual consciousness of Kafka to be present.

"Azazel, what should we do? We are not a match for him." Harazath flew to Azazel's side.

"…" Azazel could not reply, even she does not have a current solution against Cronos.

The other Archangels, Angels and wounded Valkyries retreated to the white gate they opened; only the Pentagram Seraphim from the Heaven's side remained.

The Demons and the Archdemons were wiped out; the only enemy left is Cronos.

Among those standing, Azazel, Harazath, Zarall, Ophanium, Sabriel, Veil, Sylphy, Darthoxis and Nerula are the only ones who have a chance against Cronos.

The Heroes, Adventurers and engineers alive are out of the equation; otherwise, they would just become cannon fodder.

Those who remained secretly backed further away and searched for Nerula's network to retreat to the isolated space where the rest of the civilians are hiding.

Shurururuk.

When Nerula noticed that the humans and other remaining races among those that retreated, she closed off the network, hiding it from Cronos.

Veil slowly stood up from her knees, glaring now at the lone enemy, she is feeling the extremely evil aura flowing.

"No one wants to take the first move? Very well then, I will start my fun with all of you!" Cronos slowly swiped one of the four arms he has.

Taboo Skill: Vulcan's Storm!

Countless meteorites rained from the sky all over the continent, looking like the end of the world.

When the meteorites crashed on the ground, they caused mass explosions then transformed into flaming golems with green flames in the cracks on their bodies.

Nothing was left remained on the battlefield affected by the Vulcan's Storm, no signs of trees, plants and the entire city of Stalvan.

Skill: Shurana's Protection!

Nerula protected everyone on their side with massive sand barrier; however, the meteorites that hit her sand barrier still became flaming golems.

Veil, Sylphy and Darthoxis all sprang into action, receiving the flaming golems charging towards them.

Thud thud thud!!!

The massive golems' footsteps shook the ground and caused explosive loud noises.

The Pentagram remained motionless, they are thinking of what the most effective route to take.

Sabriel provided offensive and defensive buffs for the three clearing the flaming golems; it seems that attacking the bodies of the green bundle of flames are causing backlash.

When all three received Sabriel's support, they fared with much ease, destroying the golems at a faster pace.

Cronos sneered, swiping two arms now, casting the same skill twice.

Taboo Skill: Vulcan's Storm!

Yet even more meteorites descended on the Terra, causing flaming golems to fill even the neighboring continents.

With the escalating hopelessness, Azazel finally spoke: "I have no choice but to reveal the truth to her."

Azazel pointed a finger to Veil's back, busily fighting the golems.

"What truth?" Ophanium inquired with a slightly confused expression.

"Her original body has actually absorbed one of the Dark Clown's World Crystal, if we could just search what remained of her old body, we might gain a better fighting chance." Azazel's expression is not positive.

"Where is her original body?" Zarall asked seriously and clenched his fists.

Azazel did not reply, but instead pointed her finger on the ground.

Zarall immediately opened up a gate to Underworld Zekerion, immediately searching for Veil's remains.

Unknowingly, Zarall did not tune the gate, damaging the reshaping Veil did hundreds of years ago.

Before he could jump into the gate, golden orbs flew out of the cracks from an invisible barrier separating Zekerion from the surface.

Shuishuishui~

Veil, who was about to finish one of the flaming golems, suddenly felt an extreme dizziness hit her back.

She fell down on her knees and felt an extremely painful headache, it seems like her consciousness is being pulled away from her.

"You!!!" Cronos noticed the orb produced by the Pentagram's plan.

The golden orbs are brimming with dark energy, which is supposed to be the remaining fuel his black heart needs.

Cronos legs exploded into action, instantly disappearing from his spot and charging towards the 5 Archangels.

CLANG!!!

Harazath intercepted the Demon God with everything he can, tearing up the skin on his arms.

"Heh, if we succeed, you will not even be sealed, you will just disappear!" Harazath smiled bitterly, he knows this is his last breath.

"Scram!" The other arms on Cronos' back grabbed Harazath's wings.

Splat! Splat!

The Demon God brutally torn off Harazath's wings, in turn, breaking through his defense.

Harazath briefly turned his eyes to Azazel walking towards Veil regarding the truth of her old body.

However, due to that brief instant, Cronos pierced his entire arm into Harazath's chest, making a void on his body.

Like a lifeless puppet without its strings, life drained out of Harazath before limping and being thrown onto the rampaging flaming golems.

"Harazath!!!" Sabriel noticed Harazath's death after finishing up the flaming golems surrounding Sylphy and Darthoxis.

Sabriel blocked Cronos' way towards the golden orbs flying out of the gate, he casted every skill he can.

Skill: Chains of Judgement!

Divine Technique: Punishing Bind!

The golden chains glowed with radiant aura, piercing through Cronos' arms, legs and wings.

Grrrrrrr!

Cronos roared before snapping each chains, with one hand, he threw the chains towards Sabriel with great force.

"!!!"

Zarall stopped channeling the gate and charged towards Sabriel with Ophanium.

But they were still late; Sabriel's head was already torn apart by the chains Cronos was swinging around.

Zarall and Ophanium then entered a fierce melee against Cronos, despite the numerical disadvantage, Cronos fared well because of his extra arms.

Cronos focus left briefly and noticed that Azazel is already talking with the human.

"Once she absorbs those orbs, your time is over, we do not care if we fall here; you shall also fall today!" Zarall sneered when he noticed Cronos attention panning away.

"Veil, listen to me closely, we do not have much time left before we all fall here, the only hope is for you to absorb your original body's powers."

"Those golden orbs are a fraction of the Dark Clown's powers, which would complete Crono's black heart, if that happens, the entire world will be obliterated."

"Absorb the darkness to fight the bigger darkness, this is our only hope!" Azazel's face is showing panic due to Harazath's death.

"What will happen when I absorb the orbs?" Veil inquired unhurriedly.

"You will regain all your previous power back combined with what you accumulated in your current body, but the problem is… Runa's body will be destroyed…" Azazel slightly paled.

Veil did not answer; she just stretched out her hands towards the golden orbs before Cronos could arrive.

Vuimmmm!

The moment the golden orbs seeped through her fingers, all the memory as Veil replayed on her mind, up to the moment she disappeared from rewriting the Great Collapse.

After opening her eyes, she regained her original height, appearance and powers; however, in front of her is Runa's lifeless body.

She lifted Runa's body out of the danger and protected her with a black barrier; she also unsheathed the Umbralia out of Runa's waist.

When she lifted the Umbralia in front of her, the aquamarine blade turned into midnight black, brimming with dark mana, taking the real appearance of the original Umbral Reaver.

"I will end you!" Cronos threw away both Zarall and Ophanium and charging with explosive force towards Veil.

As if time is slowing down, the Demon God and the original Veil simultaneously unleashed their aura.

Mana Expansion: Everlasting Penumbra!!!

Mana Expansion: Demonic Continuum!!!

Azazel smiled bitterly after watching Veil, there should be no humans reaching this state but she already clearly reached a realm similar to the Gods, the Realm of Celestial Expanse.

Azazel herself could only grow and reach the Realm of Spiritual Ascension, allowing her to make use of smaller amounts of divine mana, however, the realm above that is the Celestial Expanse, with seemingly endless divine mana.

Shadow tentacles sprouted on the massive battlefield, piercing every single flaming golem, which indirectly helped Nerula, Sylphy and Darthoxis.

Meanwhile, for the Demon God's Demonic Continuum, his black heart exudes a concentrated evil energy that weakens every creature already lower than him.

However, Cronos lost in anger when he noticed that the human before him is not affected at all.

"You!!! Will!!! DIE!!!" Cronos' wings trembled and flapped with rapid vibrations, instantly reaching Veil's position.

CLANG! BOOM!

Veil blocked Crono's claws with the black sword, she also countered with her original skills.

Skill: Shadow Dance!

Skill: Severer Blade!

Veil coped up against Crono's 4 massive claws due to the Severer Blade's mirror attacks.

Veil still does not know the extent of her powers this time, her original body already reached unimaginable levels due to the amount of darkness she has absorbed, now that she combined with Runa's accumulated powers, she herself could not measure how far she has reached.

All the powers she gained flashed in her memories, the principle of Divine Techniques, the Ancient Mana Techniques, and the endless mana flowing from the Umbralia.

Veil closed her eyes and calmed her heart; she raised her sword over her head in the instant before Cronos' could hit her.

Shadow Origin Technique: Dark Monarch's Wrath!

A black wave of energy sent Cronos stumbling back, which in turn swiped his descending claws away from Veil.

Veil's body was enveloped with crawling shadows that became a black armor, her appearance is like the God of Death, and she has become unrecognizable.

"Veil…" Azazel was visibly worried; she slashed the flaming golems coming on her way.

Skill: Eternal Rose's Bloom!

Blue flowers slowly rained from the sky, causing a soothing feeling, when the flowers hit the ground, they all bloomed into beautiful roses.

Time slowed down for Cronos, even if the skill's effects to send him deep into a memory he once treasured, an unexplainable feeling rooted from his black heart.

Dazed, he watched the shadow in the form of a human dash towards him.

Slash!

Veil is subconsciously watching everything unfold, she does not have control over her body anymore; the power of darkness is taking over her.

Veil ended up behind Cronos with a slashing posture, a massive cut destroying Crono's tough armored skin.

The black heart pounded loudly before becoming increasingly slow.

Badump!

Badump.

Badump…

Cronos fell flat on his front, massive black smoke from the black heart then slowly flowed into Veil.

"HAHAHAHAHA! In the end, I shall still be the victor!" Kafka laughed loudly before slowly manifesting their physical appearance.

"You…" Azazel kneeled from exhaustion; she finished the last of the flaming golems.
