Chapter 1118: The Final Strike
"WHY DOES THIS CRAZY BITCH ALWAYS LOOK LIKE SHE'S ENJOYING IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
With that mental scream, Heinotim's head exploded from the reversed attack.
No.
This monster...
We can't win.
....
——"Father!! You have to avenge me!! Don't let that woman get away!!"——
What?!
Noa?!
Just as fear crept into Heinotim's heart, his son's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Heinotim knew it was just his imagination... but that call from his boy still stirred his fighting spirit.
That's right.
My revenge wasn't complete. My child can't rest in peace... How could I give up now?!
Clenching his fists, wreathed in blue flames of vengeance, Heinotim's head regenerated in an instant. When his eyes healed, his emerald gaze showed no trace of fear. Steel resolve returned, along with a flicker of hope.
Heinotim rallied. He saw a glimmer of hope.
No doubt about it—this black-haired girl was insanely powerful. Even the Abyssal Lord who invaded the Source Star Universe back then probably couldn't match her. That crazy recovery ability and her power to bounce attacks back made her nearly unstoppable.
But she wasn't invincible!
To reverse an attack, she had to tank it first. Which meant—if he could take her out in one shot, she wouldn't get the chance to reverse anything!
Yes!
One strike. Winner takes all.
"Old friend, indulge me one last time."
Heinotim's eyes narrowed. The emerald divine sword in his hand—already riddled with holes—suddenly shattered, breaking into countless glowing fragments! The pieces swirled around him under his will, transforming into green spirit particles that rushed toward his chest.
Combined with his blazing revenge fire and the spiritual power pouring out of him, Heinotim's strength exploded to new heights.
An emerald phoenix materialized behind him, flickering like a ghost.
Sacrificing his divine weapon, stacking all his spiritual power and soul force, Heinotim roared as he unleashed the most devastating attack of his life.
"Wind Meteoric Sky Extreme!"
The phoenix spread its wings. Emerald energy condensed into a brilliant golden beam that shot forward like a wild beast breaking free from its chains, carrying enough destructive force to level everything in its path.
Seeing this, feeling the killing intent and raw destructive energy in that golden beam, Youlan, Kalina, and even the usually clueless Pipi all felt their hearts skip a beat. They looked toward their mom with worry.
...
"Oh ho?! Hehehe~ not bad! not bad!!!"
Momo burst into laughter.
Facing this apocalyptic strike that could crush an entire sub-world, Momo didn't dodge. She hovered in place, welcoming Heinotim's final attack.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure from the emerald energy, Momo licked her lips playfully.
Then she opened her mouth wide.
For the first time since the battle began, the Abyssal Lord focused all her attention on charging up an attack.
The countless bloody butterflies around her dissolved into streams of scarlet light, pouring into her mouth!
"Abyssal Emperor Cannon!!!"
With an earth-shaking roar, condensed scarlet energy erupted from her mouth like a raging tide, forming a crimson beam that radiated oppressive, bone-chilling power!! Just from the sheer momentum and aftershocks, this attack was ten times more powerful than Shadow Annihilation.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The collision shook heaven and earth like the end of the world.
Everyone watched in stunned silence as the two terrifying energy beams clashed in midair, triggering unimaginable explosions. Space itself seemed ready to tear apart. The scorched earth cracked and split. The air became suffocating.
The energy clash lasted for a moment, then suddenly exploded in blinding light! The massive shockwave rolled across the battlefield, consuming everything in its path.
The entire area was bathed in brilliant golden radiance.
Countless demons and alliance survivors didn't even have time to scream before vaporizing. Warship wreckage and corpses were ground to dust.
The eternal sphere that had covered this realm—reinforced with authority power—began cracking under the terrible impact before finally shattering completely...
In the distance, Seiyad suffered backlash. His eyes went wide, blood spurted from his mouth, and he collapsed unconscious.
...
The two destructive forces kept clashing, grinding each other down in an apocalyptic dance. For the first time, the scarlet aura that had seemed invincible met its match.
But this wasn't the result Heinotim wanted.
He wanted victory.
"AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhH!!!"
With a desperate, heroic roar, Heinotim—with only seconds left—abandoned his regeneration entirely, pouring that power and his very body into the attack. His form began collapsing. His hands, feet, half his head melted into burning energy particles that merged with the beam.
With this final sacrifice, Heinotim's attack became stronger, beginning to overpower Momo's Abyssal Emperor Cannon and disperse that mighty abyss force.
?!
"Lord Heinotim!!!"
Every survivor on the battlefield looked up, watching this epic clash.
Under countless eager, excited gazes, Heinotim's ultimate technique finally broke through the Abyss Emperor Cannon! It roared forward, swallowing the black-haired girl whole!
BOOOOOOM!!!
Shadow power vanished. A death sun bloomed in the sky, completely engulfing the black-haired girl.
"Did... did we win?!!!"
The same question flashed through every alliance member's mind.
Even Heinotim wondered the same thing.
Staring at the distant sun destroying heaven and earth, his body gradually fading from reaching his limit, Heinotim prayed silently.
Unfortunately, his prayer went unanswered.
Because in the next instant, under Heinotim's horrified gaze, the golden light collapsed and the thick smoke cleared... revealing a black silhouette. Half her body had been obliterated by his attack, but... it was only half her body. The Abyssal Lord hadn't been completely destroyed as Heinotim had hoped.
Instead, she bathed in her own blood, letting out bone-chilling laughter.
Which meant...
"Heh, so I failed after all..."
His heart sank. He closed his eyes and whispered in despair.
Despite all his determination, now that his revenge fire had burned out, he had nothing left.
"Sorry, Noa."
"Forgive me... for not being able to avenge you..."
After a bitter smile, Heinotim's face crumbled completely. Together with his final remains, under the alliance's despairing gaze, he scattered into countless emerald particles and dissolved into nothingness on the wind...
