Blade of the Goddess

Zion has faced off against countless enemies. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, Dragons, Angels, and Demons. He's even faced a demigod.

The one thing all of his fights had in common was that they were all within his ability to kill them, whether it was with his own power or his technology.

Today, however, things were different. Zion was fully confident in his abilities, and he was even at full power, holding nothing back. Araya was whispering in his ear about how she was excited to beat Azmorath's ass.

But that wasn't how things went. Although Zion was the one to charge in first, he still didn't even see when Azmorath appeared right in front of him and planted his large foot into Zion's chest.

"GAHRGHH!" Zion flew into rubble so fast, he looked like a shooting star.

"Zion!"

"You should pay attention to what's in front of you!"

Lilith turned to see Azmorath's large fist coming her way, so she attempted to block the attack by catching the punch.

A pink energy wrapped around her hands when she did, but even with her strength and the suit she had from Zion, she still felt her wrist snap.

"F-Fuck!" She groaned in pain.

"Heh." With a smirk, Azmorath grabbed her wrist to pull her in close, kneed her stomach, then punched her into his destroyed estate.

"Knock, Knock, bitch!" Hundreds of missiles flew toward Azmorath alongside Zion, who was charging at the demon.

The missiles were easily counted, some blowing up in his face, but non strong enough to hurt him, but that was all Zion needed.

Circling around the vampire, Zion kicked his knee from behind, forcing Azmorath to the ground. The vampire swung his arm back, but Zion moved to his front, kneeing him in the face.

In a fit of rage, Azmorath extended his hand and fired a devastating blood-flame spell, one so strong that it burned the air, but Zion was still one step ahead. He kicked Azmorath in the back, grabbed his head to slam it into the ground, then threw him up in the air and fired a beam from his chest that blasted the demon higher into the air.

Zion had a satisfying grin on his face as he watched Azorath get pummeled by him. "Now fall." One of his space lasers blasted Azmorath back down to the ground.

"I bet that took a good bit out of..." Azmorath was standing right next to Zion. "Shit."

Azmorath backhanded Zion, hurling him into multiple destroyed buildings. He grabbed Zion's face and burned it with his blood-flame magic, then wrapped blood around his neck and flung him onto the ground, pulling him back up to do the same thing over and over again.

[He's treating you like a ragdoll!]

'I know!'

[Activating EMP (Exorcising Mana Pulse)]

A wave of energy cut off Azmorath's demonic energy temporarily, allowing Zion to counterattack with a spin kick to the face.

Lilith also rejoined the fight, clobbering Azmorath in the chest, then putting him under one of her spells.

"W-What did you do to me?" He asked, falling to his knees.

"It's a love spell. It makes you fall in love with me and follow my orders. Since your demonic energy is temporarily deactivated, you had no way to defend against this. Now, we can kill you easily.

"Haha! Say goodnight!"

Both Zion and Lilith were mere inches away from killing their biggest obstacle that prevented the demon world from being under their control, but right before the finishing blow could be delivered, blood in the shape of a spiral drilled into Lilith's chest, completely destroying her heart.

She looked down at her chest, seeing the blood drill still embedded in her. "W-What?!"

Zion, on the other hand, was shocked to the core. He didn't even sense the attack coming. He quickly grabbed Lilith's body, healing her as best as he could. On the bright side, the nanotech would also keep her alive, but Zion stopped thinking straight before he remembered that.

'B-But how?! Azmorath can't use his power right now!'

"Well done, my daughter. I expected nothing less from you." Azmorath looked over Zion's shoulders, where his daughter was located.

Zion turned around, spotting Anastasia, and once he did, his anger rose to its maximum.

"You fucking bitch!" His divine energy exploded, rocking the world and going haywire. He had lost it and was fueled by pure hatred and fury.

"How does it feel, hmm? Heh, to lose someone you care ab-"

Zion blasted his face so hard that Azmorath reverted to his handsome self. He then flew to Anastasia's location with the intent to kill her painfully.

"S-Shit!" Anastasia knew that she was weaker than the current Zion. She did manage to get stronger, but her power was still nothing in comparison to Lilith or Zion. She was only able to arm the archdemon because Lilith let get guard down. But now, her life was on the line, and she was scared.

"Fuck! I have to get away! I have to get away! I can't let that crazy bastard catch me!" She ran around the area, narrowly avoiding Zion's grasp and managing to outmaneuver him, but that wouldn't keep her safe for long.

An immense pressure dropped Anastasia to her knees, and she could barely breathe. A bloodlust so thick that it was nearly visible surrounded her body, and the only thing she felt was death.

When she turned around, she saw Zion standing above her.

'I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! Daddy, help me!'

"Die!"

"No, you don't!" Azmorath tackled Zion before he could kill his daughter.

"Run!" He shouted.

"You care for your daughter?! Now I'll definitely rip her from your hands!" Zion yelled with rage.

"I'd like to see you try!"

The two brutally beat each other in a destructive battle, the shockwaves of their punches shaking the land.

Azmorath sank his fist into Zion's chest, but that didn't stop him. Zion kept fighting back.

When his arm was cut off, he used it as a sword until it grew back. When he was decapitated, he grabbed it and slammed it into Azmorath's face. And when Azmorath controlled the blood in Zion's body, he simply blew himself up.

"What's with this guy?! He's insane!"

"Hehe, hahaha, GRAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Zion was now losing his mind, yelling like a wild beast, and his energy was reflecting that. His once golden and blue divine power now shifted to black and red, reflecting his state of mind.

He charged at Azmorath with no plan of attack, just swinging wild, but powerful punches.

The demon could barely block, but once Zion managed to knock the demon out of the way, he saw his golden opportunity.

He took out his sword of forms, changing it into a spear that was fueled by his hatred, then lunged it as far as he could.

"Lady Anastasia! Are you alright?!" A demon survivor asked.

She nodded, breathing heavily. "Y-Yes, I'm fine. My father-gaughhh!"

Right in her mouth, Zion's spear impaled Anastasia.

Zion smirked. "Explode."

The spear blew up, vaporizing everything in its vicinity, killing Anastasia in the process.
