I'll kill you after I finish this game!

But Reinhardt's doting affection didn't stop there. His gaze easily ignored the so-called distance, watching Fujii Ren fly backward with a warm smile, and then—

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The colossal golden skull, larger than a galaxy, emitted a deafening roar of energy, instantly sending chills down the spines of anyone still in that phase space.

Looking around, one could see that the golden skull, which stood like a colossal god supporting the heavens and the earth, had somehow lowered its jawbone, and the earth-shattering, star-tsunami-level spiritual energy fluctuations converged into a scorching sun as if rushing into the sea.

"Splash—splash—splash—"

The sun seemed to be surrounded by a ceaseless flow, surging like a vast ocean or river. All time and space around it collapsed and twisted inwards, until it was destroyed into nothingness, turning into gunpowder for cannonballs.

Reinhardt's long, pure golden hair danced freely without wind, fueled by his spiritual energy. Maintaining an elegant and composed demeanor, he looked down at Fujii Ren with a pleased smile, and said:

“Drei (Part 3) —”

“Zwei (II) —”

“Eins (One) —”

Read and pronounced in the local language the doomsday-like bugle call, the boundless sun, larger than a star, spread boundless light and endless heat.

The great sun, radiating scorching golden light that annihilates all things, aimed at Fujii Ren, who was so small as to be immeasurable as a speck of dust, and then the great sun in its mouth suddenly compressed into a high-density singularity.

Then, with a smile on his lips, Reinhardt uttered the final command:

"—Feur (Fire)!"

The golden singularity, which seemed poised to melt and destroy the entire world, suddenly expanded to its peak!

"Zheng—!"

A fraction of a second later, an enormous, dazzling golden beam of light shot out with a deafening roar that shook the universe!

The golden destructive light drew a thin golden line across the universe, and everything it encountered along the way was reduced to ashes in the light.

Everything was easily erased, galaxy clusters turned to ashes and scattered, and the starry sky was easily divided.

Everything, whether tangible or intangible, all things in the universe, without exception, disintegrate, collapse, and perish.

This scene vividly demonstrates what magnificent divine power and supreme strength truly mean.

"Ugh—faster...faster...faster...it needs to be faster!!!"

In an attempt to reach even greater speed, Fujii Ren made no attempt to dodge the pillar of light that was annihilating the cosmos. However, at the cost of a shattered and destroyed scythe, he managed to tear open a small path that would allow them to reunite.

Her burning desire drove her to do anything, for she always remembered Skadi's teachings: all demons are monsters driven by idealism.

No matter how dire or hopeless the situation may seem, if you develop feelings or thoughts of not being able to win, you've already lost the first move.

Therefore, one must reach a point of madness in desire, thinking recklessly and yearning for one's own power, constantly digging it out from the heart and soul.

"Ooo ...

Fujii Ren's entire body was covered in dense cracks, like porcelain, and he made cracking sounds. Unstoppable power swelled and overflowed from his still immature body.

Gritting his teeth, he entered an even more terrifying faster-than-light state, his body scraping against the incredibly powerful golden beam of light, still roaring and charging towards Reinhardt with unwavering determination.

"Buzzing..."

However, in response to Fujii Ren's attack, the Golden Skull Giant God raised its six giant arms, and six dazzling golden sun wheels shone from its palms.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——!!!”

Instead of using laser strikes, they switched to a barrage of artillery shells, with the power remaining as terrifying as ever.

As her body grazed against these terrifying spiritual energy projectiles, each one enough to kill her, Fujii Ren roared and closed the distance to Reinhardt.

Then, facing the attack of the golden skeleton giant at close range, the decapitation blade dripping blood on her back suddenly swelled to a size comparable to the golden skeleton giant, driven by her will and accompanied by her roar.

Like a terrifying and monstrous spider or the Yamata no Orochi, it pounced on the golden skeletal giant and began to devour it with its decapitation scythe.

boom--!

Suddenly, the massive, blood-red decapitation scythe severed the opponent's six golden arms amidst a series of booming sounds.

Having torn away this incredibly obstructive barrier, there was no longer any concealment between Fujii Ren and Reinhardt.

Under Reinhardt's calm and encouraging gaze, Fujii Ren wielded the decapitation blade still attached to his right arm, channeling all his power into it.

Amidst roars and howls, filled with boundless killing intent, it lunged at the opponent's neck!

"Come on, let me show you some affection."

Under Reinhardt's elegant, composed, and warmly smiling voice, what followed froze Fujii Ren's passionate and murderous heart.

clang---!!

A cold, piercing voice, which Fujii Ren hadn't expected, rang out the instant the two passed each other.

"Well---!?"

Fujii Ren's bloodshot eyes widened as he gasped in disbelief at the sight before the scythe on his arm made unmistakable contact with his opponent.

But it couldn't even cut a single hair or a sliver of skin. Her knife caused Reinhard no pain whatsoever; it wasn't even as bad as a mosquito bite.

The power was absolutely her full strength, and it was infused with Mary's killing intent, woven into the blade for the strongest strike.

But why... why is there still such a big gap?

"A strike driven by fear cannot strike me."

Reinhardt chuckled softly, quietly placing his hand on the blade at his neck.

The King of Hell, the Lord of Skeletons, looked up at the girl who could be described as a demon.

The audience was able to get a close look at those hellish golden eyes after Fujii Ren approached.

The mere exchange of glances is enough to uproot the soul; any will that comes into contact with that gaze will be shattered.

Even the most arrogant and powerful beings from countless dimensions, upon seeing the golden hell in Reinhardt's eyes, would involuntarily or subconsciously avert their gaze in awe, not daring to meet his eyes as equals.

Terrifying, so terrifying. Is this the kind of enemy that Fujii Ren is facing?

"How pitiful. The young Qing doesn't know how to embrace the goddess. Approaching her with anger and fear will erase all her beauty."

Golden eyes seemed to see through Fujii Ren's catastrophic body, revealing the most beautiful and ferocious goddess soul amidst the endless bloodshed caused by the decapitation.

This wasn't their first meeting. Even though Reinhardt had a premonition, he never expected that the goddess would separate from the person who had been with her. The other person had clearly matured to the point that he was tempted to love (or destroy) her.

Reinhardt didn't understand what Karl was up to, but he was looking forward to the unknown. In his eyes, Fujii Ren was still quite immature, but definitely qualified.

The being before him definitely possessed the capacity and potential to be his enemy.

So at this moment, he suppressed his hunger and looked forward with delight to the fact that the person in front of him could reach the same level as Skadi.

Launch an attack on him, unleash your killing intent to annihilate him, and fight against such a rare existence; this will surely make his hegemony even more dazzling.

He needs war, and war, apart from groups, is against equal enemies.

Or perhaps an enemy stronger than him!

"Joy, sorrow, and exhilaration... these are merely decorations for flowers; terror and anger, in the end, are just the work of a common man in the mud."

A smile graced his handsome face, as if he were educating the still immature Fujii Ren. Reinhardt was speaking of his domineering love for his subordinates, saying:

"Karl, so let me tell you about my love, okay?"

It wasn't as if he was speaking to Fujii Ren, but rather as if he was expressing his love for all things through the existence created by his friend in front of him.

At this time, Fujii Ren tried to cover his ears and eyes.

"I love all people, regardless of who they are, and treat them all equally."

The sound corroded the eardrums, the images gouged out the eyes, and as Reinhardt spoke, dense cracks began to appear where his hand touched Fujii Ren's blade, and these cracks slowly spread outwards.

At this moment, he realized the despairing gap between them; he was just himself, powerless to do anything, utterly incapable of fighting against the monster before him.

"My karma (love) is destruction." The tyrant before me, with a twisted and merciless love in his eyes, said with a smile, "Destruction of everything, including heaven, hell, gods, demons, all things in the universe, and the three thousand great worlds."

"Ah, until I find something that hasn't been destroyed by me. And you, my lord? Have you been destroyed by me? I want to know."

Click—click—click—click—

As the love intensified, cracking sounds emanated more frequently from Fujii Ren's relic, and deep cracks continued to spread.

A painful emotion was captured by Fujii Ren, who shared the same sentiment.

Mary, she's going to be ruined.

"Stop, stop! Aaaaaaaahh ...

But the scream echoed meaninglessly and hollowly, and in the next instant, it happened.

Bang---!

The Sin Princess—Pillar of Justice, this sacred relic shattered into countless fragments before Fujii Ren.

Also shattered were the changes that occurred throughout Fujii Ren's body as the relic went berserk.

At this moment, both the relics and the power shattered irresistibly.

As the countless fragments of the holy relic shattered, Reinhardt looked at the stunned Fujii Ren and said:

“If you are also a performer of the Day of Wrath, then the way the instrument is played is something you know, Zarathustra.”

"Don't worry, I'll return it to you right away. Hehe, not to mention someone might snatch it back for you."

The relic was shattered by bare hands, and the pain in her soul caused her consciousness to gradually sink into hellish darkness... The last thing Fujii Ren saw was Mary, who had fainted before her, taking the backlash from the shattered relic in her place, being held in Reinhardt's arms.

Will I die? In a place like this...

“You’ve done a good job, but it’s a pity that under this pressure you’ve only just touched the threshold of the [Creation] rank.”

Is that the senior's voice? Ah... this guy in front of me is definitely not someone I can defeat just by borrowing his strength.

Seriously... senior, you deliberately didn't come out to watch him torment me, didn't you? Even though I know... your good intentions... I'm still... annoyed... ugh.

These angry and helpless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. Fujii Ren, whose eyes could no longer be opened, had completely lost consciousness.

Only at the very last moment could I feel that my powerless body had been caught.

Skadi held Fujii Ren's limp body in one arm around the waist, and then straightened her tattered clothes. She looked calmly and indifferently at Reinhardt, who was also holding an unconscious person in one arm and smiling at her.

The distance between them was only one meter, but that distance seemed to be the most dangerous dead zone in the universe.

P.S.: This is an 8,000-word update. I originally wanted to make up for it with 15,000 words, but I overestimated my mental and physical limitations...
