Chapter 184 - Diablo With The Rule Breaker

Grabbing the body from the head, Diablo dragged it to a nearby cliff while speaking.

|I really wish you were gonna die already but I'm a monarch just like you and I'm not that easy to kill.|

Flinging the celestial's body off the cliff, Diablo just sat down on the ground and waited.

'Should I just go all devil king mode on him and end it in one shot?

Or I could just use my domain, haven't done that in a while.

It would have been so much easier to deal with him if the universe wasn't trying to get something out of him.'

The only reason Diablo was not even fighting properly, was because the Hell Universe itself, was trying to get something from the celestial.

How it was doing so and what it was trying to get were not known, but Diablo did not really care.

'That thing is 100% logical; it would only take such an action, if it benefits the universe.'

While he was having such thoughts, there was a burst of energy from below the cliff that could be felt across the entire planetoid.

The earth collapsed, the seas tossed and turned, the skies turned dark and lightning dropped like raindrops.

'There we go.'

With a light smile, he jumped off the cliff head first to meet with the enraged celestial who was charging up the cliff.

**KABOOM!!!!

The two wordlessly clashed fists without bothering to use any flashy attacks of sophisticated techniques.

It was a fight where a single slip-up could not be tolerated.

Surprisingly, the first to slip up was Diablo.

The celestial took this opportunity and grabbed hold of his hand before slamming him on the ground like one would a ragdoll and flinging him towards the planetoid's star.

He took off not long after at an even faster speed and stretched his hand out towards the star.

|Drain.

Condense.

Amplify.|

Three command words.

The star's energy was drained out of it and condensed in the celestial's hands until the star was in a near-death state.

A ring of red light appeared as the aura of proliferation spread out and the energy was amplified exponentially.

The next moment, he turned that compressed energy into a spear he used threw towards Diablo.

Without looking for the results of his attack, he turned to the dying star that was about to implode on itself and become a black hole before speaking.

|Reverse.|

Finally turning around, he saw Diablo holding the spear of compressed energy he threw with a curious facial expression.

|Pardon me but was this supposed to do anything?

It would have barely itched even if I did let it hit.|

Flinging the spear away, Diablo looked back at the celestial with glowing red eyes.

|Let's face it, one full-powered attack from any of us and the other would be down for the count.

But are were really going to give ourselves that chance?|

The celestial still remained silent despite his earlier talkative attitude.

While Diablo was wondering why, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and clicked his tongue in annoyance before abruptly dashing towards the celestial.

Seeing this the celestial snorted and spread his hands open.

[Authority of Virtue : Twisted Embrace]

Right before Diablo reached him, a thin omnidirectional barrier of multicolored energy appeared around Diablo, leaving one small opening just the size of an average spear.

The next moment, the spear Diablo flung away, came back flying towards him at light speed.

However-

|This is getting irritating…that aspect of yours.|

***CCRACK—BBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!

|H-how?!|

Diablo caught and shattered the spear with his left hand, causing it to explode but he paid it no mind.

The celestial on the other hand was shocked to see something he only expected to see on candidates, on Diablo.

|Should I just cut you up already?|

In Diablo's right hand, was a sword that appeared at a time the celestial did not realize.

A jet-black blade with a red outline. Various runes glowed on it like pulsing veins.

As a candidate and one who possessed a similar weapon, the celestial was aware of exactly what kind of weapon that sword was.

|Rule Breaker! How can you have one?!|

Realizing Diablo was a lot more of a threat than he expected, the celestial hurriedly pulled out his own rule breaker. All thoughts of playing around left his mind instantly.

A giant greatsword with the image of a clock's minute hand on it.

**CLANG!!!!!!!!!!

The two swords clashed first, then both the swords and their wielders disappeared.

The next thing that could be seen was a slash of red light that sliced multiple planets in half, followed by it was a slash of gold that did the same to stars.

The two clashed blades again, despite the large size of his sword, the celestial was agile and his strokes were precise.

However, Diablo had both great speed and power behind each strike, and it seemed to be increasing.

The celestial sometimes tried to reverse Diablo's movements but he realized he could not.

His reversal aspect was being invalidated by the sword.

Even when he imbued it into his own sword, the moment Diablo's blade touched his, it would be nullified.

'Which rule breaker is that, if I can tell the number, I can cross-check my database and see if I have info on it.'

Unfortunately, Diablo's attacks did not give him the time to even start thinking about where to look.

They were not fighting all out but he could tell that Diablo was beginning to get serious on him.

|Argh!!|

With a shout, he manipulated ambient multicolored energy and wrapped it around all the shattered rocks and debris that remained of all the shattered planets and moons the two had destroyed.

Clenching his fist and moving it towards his chest, these rocks ignited and sped towards Diablo.

It did not matter the size, even the pieces as small as a fingernail were pulled towards him at a speed that would make light seem like a snail.

He even reversed the destruction of some planets and tossed the whole planets at Diablo.

Diablo saw this and decided to respond in kind. He pointed his sword forward and energy gathered into at the tip.

The amount of energy kept increasing until it was a giant multi-colored ball of energy.

|Scatter|

The orb burst into smaller orbs of condensed energy and shot out to crash with the rocks that were heading towards him.

As for the giant planets the celestial threw at him;

[Authority of the Master]

He simply used his Authority to move them away.

However, the celestial manipulated the energy around them and crushed them, causing them to explode.

**BOOM BOOM! BOOOM!! BOOOOM!!!

While the planets were exploding simultaneously, the celestial took the chance to back away for a bit and entered into a realm gate that he noticed a while ago.

He landed on a random continent on the first planet he saw and stabbed his greatsword into the ground before placing both hands on the ground.

[Authority of Earth: Rising Ground]

|I offer you this catastrophe, grant me your strength.|

A small black orb formed above his head and from it, a pulse of energy was released from that planet and went on to hit every other planet in that realm that it could until it died down.

Next, giant rocks began protruding from the ground at random points on these planets.

Disrupting civilizations, killing humans, demons, giants and many other races.

The blood spilled by all the dead was drained out of their bodies and was transferred to the giant black orb atop the head of the origin of this disaster;

The celestial casting the spell.

(It is not much but you can exercise a bit of my strength, should be enough to handl-.)

The orb of blood disappeared and a voice spoke out, however, it could not finish its statement.

|So you offered the lives of trillions in exchange for making your watcher take action to help you?|

His eyes glowed red as he stared at the existence who was accepting the celestial's sacrifice.

A long-haired man wearing white priestly robes, he had a bishop's cap on. Coupled with the book that looked like a scripture in his hand, he totally looked the part.

He was about to refute but Diablo's next words sent both him and the celestial into a state of shock.

|Vladi's watcher would laugh at this if she saw it.|

**THRUM!!

The celestial nearly lost control of the spell he was maintaining after hearing that.

|Vladi?! You know her? Or do you work with her?

Is she the reason you're trying to prevent me from achieving my goals?!|

Diablo just laughed while descending to the ground.

|Oh please, I am stopping you for other reasons.

What I do know is that what you are doing is going to make you an apocryphal existence like that foolish watcher beside you.|

|What does a mere monarch like you know?!|

The celestial's watcher shot back in rage.

|Me? I know a lot. A whole lot. My dad was the real thing after all.

He was also a candidate of destruction, does the name 'Lucifer' ring any bells?|
