I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Long time no see. You just finished a battle. Are you clear-headed now, Ashura?"

Skadi took a step forward and, as if teleporting, appeared in front of Ashura in an instant, reaching out and grabbing his neck.

Ashura, who had no arms to resist, was easily lifted up, and then Skadi slammed him against a protruding landmass with such force that he was embedded in the wall.

Ashura, who was not good at communicating but was extremely good at communicating with his fists, was immediately enraged after being attacked. He roared and jumped out of the wall, crashing into Skadi like a cannonball.

Since we've been attacked, let's fight back.

Even without arms and in an extremely dire situation, the furious Asura showed no fear.

Even without hands, he would continue to fight.

However, unless Ashura unleashes another burst of rage, he won't even be able to touch Skadi's clothes.

Easily dodging Ashura's series of frenzied headbutts and kicks, Skadi knocked the guy to the ground with one kick.

Then she stomped hard on his back again, preventing the man who was struggling wildly under her feet from getting up, and said in a cold tone:

"Did you come back to avenge your wife and get your daughter back? After defeating Bridora, she will naturally be free."

"Don't joke around!!!"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned his daughter, Misra. The moment Misra was mentioned, Ashura's raging anger reignited. As he roared, he suddenly sent Skadi flying, who was standing on him.

Skadi, who had anticipated this, flipped in mid-air like a feather and slowly floated to the ground.

The moment she landed, Ashura's giant foot slammed into her face with the force of a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

boom!

Faced with this perfectly timed pursuit, Skadi lay down on her back, dodging Ashura's flying kick, and then delivered a backflip kick with explosive force, striking Ashura.

"Ahem——!"

Ashura, who had been kicked away, suddenly let out a miserable scream. A violent explosion occurred inside his body, causing him to cough up orange-red liquid from his slightly open mouth.

Once again, Ashura fell to the ground in a very sorry state.

"That's quite a rage, you damn doting father. You go ballistic whenever Misra is mentioned, and you panic whenever Misra cries."

Looking at Ashura lying on the ground coughing up blood, and recalling the terrifying rage that the other party had just unleashed, Skadi was curious about just how much power this guy could increase with his rage.

"Shut up!!!"

Enraged, Ashura gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet again, his eyes, now only glowing white, glaring fiercely at Skadi.

Having lost both arms, his fighting ability was almost reduced to nothing in front of Skadi, and he even had some difficulty maintaining his balance.

Even so, he still wanted to live, not for himself, but for what he had let go and lost.

Twelve thousand years ago, he let go, but this time, when the opportunity presented itself again, Ashura did everything in his power to take his daughter back.

Skadi, who was being stared at by Ashura's fierce gaze, placed her hand on the mask and gently stroked it. The mask disappeared from her face, and she spoke in a calm tone with a hint of sneer.

"Heh... Asura, do you really want your daughter? If I bring her to you, what do you plan to do afterward?"

"......"

Upon hearing this, Ashura was stunned, seemingly not expecting Skadi to say such a thing.

After returning his daughter to him, what are your plans for the next step?

"Then you will seek revenge on the divine kingdom, kill Deus who framed you, and kill any divine generals who try to stop you, including Yakshas. After successfully finding your daughter, you will live in this world full of suffering with your daughter, facing Bridhara alone?"

Skadi stared blankly at Ashura, who remained silent, and continued speaking in a calm tone, describing the path Ashura would take in the future.

Ashura's personality is reckless and unrestrained; he doesn't think things through at all. His fists are more active than his brain.

"Enough with the nonsense!! Then why did you help Deus and the others?!?"

Ashura was disturbed by the future described by Skadi, and instead of answering her directly, he roared out his question.

He also knew part of the Great Reversal Plan; the Causal Fortress built by the Divine Kingdom was intended to destroy Buridora.

However, the causal cannon of the Causal Fortress requires far too much energy, and it cannot be fully charged in a short period of time.

Therefore, Deus thought of using human souls to directly convert into the power of mantras in order to quickly obtain the power of mantras and fill the Causality Cannon.

Ashura disagreed with this plan, which was even more cruel and evil than subduing demons. Treating humans like livestock to extract the power of mantras, they were supposed to be gods who protected peace in the world, but were probably evil gods who brought calamity to the world.

Ashura couldn't understand why Skadi was helping Deus.

Although he wasn't good at thinking, he had learned from the murals in the human temple that Skadi had brought relief to humanity after taking his place.

Skadi is a god, but she was once human.

Ashura couldn't understand why someone who cared about humanity would help Deus achieve that Great Reversal Plan.

"Are you referring to the reason why I helped Deus even though I knew it would require sacrificing many humans? Hah... Ashura, do you know how long the history of the divine kingdom is? In the war against demons, how many families on Earth, like yours, Durga's, and Misra's, have been torn apart?"

"If you're willing and able to save the world, why shouldn't I help you now?"

Faced with Ashura's anger, Skadi revealed a mocking and sarcastic expression, and uttered words that were utterly scathing.

Skadi didn't want to talk about comparing misery, but there were just too many families on Earth whose lives had been trampled by demons.

If someone could see through the suffering that humanity has endured throughout its long history, would they choose the pain of 12,000 years or the prolonged suffering that might threaten their very survival?

Deus chose the agonizing cycle to end it all; for a leader, this was the final decision, and Skadi did not object.

However, she also knew that it was wrong to condescendingly ask others to sacrifice themselves; it was a noble cause, but not justice.

Therefore, she chose to follow her heart.

"......"

Ashura had nothing to say to Skadi's words. He had only been a god general for ten thousand years, but the divine kingdom had been fighting against demons since the beginning of history.

During this process, many people died in the Kingdom of God, but the majority of the deaths were among humans.

It is utterly meaningless to calculate the number of sacrifices accumulated over a long history.

Moreover, Ashura also understood what Skadi meant; she wanted to end the endless suffering inflicted on humans.

"I don't understand those complicated principles, or the methods to save the world. I just want to save Misra. Why does the Great Reversal have to sacrifice Misra?!"

Ashura knew that wanting to save the world was a good idea, but as a father, what right did he have to kill his wife and take away his daughter?

What did Durga and Misra do wrong in terms of saving the world?

Why should his wife die? Why should Misra cry?

Skadi also realized that Ashura was no longer arguing with her about saving the world; he was simply speaking out for his family as a husband and father.

Skadi composed herself and calmly told Ashura the truth, saying:

"The Great Reversal Project requires a great many mantras, but accumulating them through plunder is too slow, and a cycle of twelve thousand years is not enough. So Deus thought of your daughter, Misra, who has the ability to transform and amplify mantras. If your daughter amplifies the mantras during the process of collecting souls and transforming them into mantras, one soul can be transformed into two, or even more, mantra powers..."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Ashura's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression gradually turned ferocious.

Ashura, who was already vaguely able to guess the truth, began to feel a surge of anger. Although he still looked like a cripple with both arms broken, the activation of the power of the mantra had made all the patterns on his body glow.

"You understand without me saying it, Ashura. Your daughter is the key to the Great Reversal Plan, and Deus knows that you will never agree to this. That's why he killed the Pope who disagreed with his plan and framed you, making you a traitor to the Kingdom of God. After removing this obstacle, Misra can be used."

Skadi was carefully observing Ashura before her, deliberately provoking the man to see the extent of his anger.

So he revealed the truth that was infuriating to him.

Unsurprisingly, Ashura was indeed enraged... or rather, completely enraged.

For a full twelve thousand years, his daughter was trapped in the Causal Fortress as an amplifier of the power of the True Word!

Ashura also knew that the power of mantras generated by negative emotions would have side effects if Misra came into contact with them.

That means his daughter was tortured for twelve thousand years!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Deus!!!!!!!!!"

Unable to bear the truth any longer, Ashura roared to the sky, and flames of true power ignited around his body.

Under the condensed, almost tangible, power of the berserk mantra, Asura's severed arms actually regrowed.

Then, four more Vajra arms suddenly appeared, and it once again entered the form of the Six Heavenly Vajra, becoming even more powerful than when it fought Hua Xian before.

"Ha, is this what an Asura is like?"

Seeing Ashura unleash even greater power before her, Skadi smiled with satisfaction. Having witnessed the limitless potential of this guy, the next step was to test the next question.

That is, with this guy's immortal rebirth and the karmic force of heaven and earth not dissipating, Skadi wants to see how this guy returns from hell again.

Without a word, Skadi, who had assumed a fighting stance, slammed her hands together, causing a violent tremor to erupt from the ground.

Enraged, Asura looked around and his eyes widened in shock.

All around, the sacred and solemn images of giant Vajras, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Thunder Gods, and Guanyin appeared, surrounding the Asura.

It is larger in size than the previous Vajra Huaxian, and the power it exudes far surpasses that of the previous Vajra Huaxian.

"Judging from your expression, you're itching to rush to Deus's side, but unfortunately, you're about to return to the underworld once again. Fighting you in your crippled state was utterly pointless. Let's see if you can even escape the abyss of death!!!"

At Skadi's cold voice, the golden Vajra Dharma Image clenched its fist, and this single action distorted the entire space.

After assuming the posture of subduing demons, the Arhat Dharma image struck the Asura without any hesitation.

Ashura was naturally not afraid of fighting. After learning Skadi's stance, he had no intention of holding back. Moreover, if he did not rescue Misra, his daughter would continue to suffer.

"Oh my god!!!!"

Surrounded by the five Dharma images, Asura roared and charged towards Skadi with earth-shattering fury.

A battle that seemed to annihilate the world broke out once again. From the outer space fleet to the Causal Fortress, a million-mile area on Earth could be clearly seen to have turned crimson red.

The underground magma was completely ejected, and a visible vortex-like storm lingered over the area.

This situation lasted for more than half an hour. When Skadi flew out of Earth and returned to the fleet, the Divine Kingdom Army also discovered that the mantra power fluctuations belonging to Asura on Earth had completely disappeared.

At the same time, in the other side of the narrow world, strange things, filled with intense resentment and unwillingness, and densely packed like fragments, also fell from the pure white sky.

That was the image of Ashura being shattered into pieces, turning into fragments of a powerful being; it was also the image of him before his death.

Just as the fragments of Asura were about to fall into the sea of ​​black mist below the narrow passage, golden spider silk shot out from the void, entangled all of Asura's numerous fragments, and pulled them back.

"Oh dear, they were beaten so badly."

In the void, the golden spider appeared, looking at Asura's mangled and inhuman form, and uttered a distressed sound.
