I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Chapter 42 Formation of Three Vertices

Skadi and Reinhardt knew each other, but their relationship was neither particularly good nor bad.

Skadi was perfectly aware of Reinhardt's desire and true nature, and while she rejected and disliked him, she could also tolerate his existence.

What the other party has in common with a certain Mercury Serpent is that, in a reluctant conclusion, they possess an optimism that far exceeds common sense.

Tragedy, comedy, or anything else, none of them can move them from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, the opponent's true identity destined him not to perish at the last moment. After all, the opponent was the Mercury Serpent, whose suicidal impulse had accumulated over billions of years and was now attached to him.

As long as the Mercury Serpent is immortal, it will be nearly impossible to destroy Reinhardt in this universe.

Skadi herself was confident that she could fight to the death, even if she couldn't defeat her opponent unscathed, she could at least take him down with her.

However, it still means the same thing as the original statement: such deaths in battle are meaningless.

"Ah, this is the second time we've met. Although it's only a fleeting image, I miss you dearly."

Before them stood a blond man, dazzling like a black sun, yet radiating an oppressive aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth. He wore an elegant and composed smile, and his demeanor, combined with his handsome face, truly gave off a sacred and awe-inspiring feeling, drawing people in unconsciously.

But in Skadi's eyes, that golden light, besides being dazzling, contained no warmth whatsoever; it only gave her a chilling, icy feeling.

"Missing the explosive punch I threw at your head? I don't really want to see you again. Give me back Mary. You're not the kind of person who would take hostages."

The unconscious Ren Fujii beside her was moved away by Skadi, whose calm eyes revealed a fierce light different from Reinhardt's hellish light.

In an instant, two enormous masses clashed and battled through their line of sight, and the air between them fell into a deathly silence, which then spread outward uncontrollably. If an ordinary person were to witness this scene, they would surely go mad.

The sheer weight they perceive is like an endless black hole; ordinary people are nothing more than ants in their presence.

"I apologize, but I am also curious about the goddess who fascinates Karl. Although his tastes are somewhat perverse, I now agree with his point of view."

The man glanced at Mary on his arm, behaving like a gentleman.

His speech exuded a kingly solemnity and elegance, displaying a strong aristocratic air.

However, it wasn't a matter of accepting or not accepting the apology; Skadi knew that he didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse for his actions.

"However, compared to this lady, the one who fits my tastes and personality is you and another one. You understand my desires very well, and I am also captivated by your desires."

Reinhardt smiled merrily, and Mary, who had fainted in his arms, like Fujii Ren before her, turned into a burst of light particles and disappeared.

She was teleported to her own magical realm by Reinhardt, which was tantamount to refusing Skadi's offer to return Mary.

He is definitely not the type to take hostages, especially when it comes to people he can take seriously; he won't do anything pointless.

However, if you want to take the spoils from him, you'll have to rely on your own skills.

"Can I understand that returning Mary should be done according to your rules?"

As Reinhardt teleported Mary to the Asura Path she disliked, Skadi narrowed her eyes slightly, the atmosphere around her carrying a dangerous feeling of igniting a powder keg.

"It's wonderful that you understand. I'd like to get to know everyone a little earlier, so I can't just leave disappointed, can I? You know very well what pleases me."

"Besides, aren't you also one of the newcomers who temporarily controls my Black Round Table?"

The golden beast smiled faintly and naturally at Skadi, who exuded a dangerous aura.

Although he talked about being a member of the Black Round Table, Reinhardt didn't really care.

He fears nothing; everything except himself is bait and toys.

Its essence can be gradually glimpsed from the very beginning of the conversation.

He can only be described as a destructive tyrant caused by natural disasters; no one can equate him with anyone else.

As a leader with absolute terror, he uses his extraordinary charisma to bind anyone and prevent them from letting go.

"And on my side, the lives of my men are something that needs to be discussed properly through battle."

A contradictory laugh, carrying both coldness and heat, rang out, containing the will of the supreme, the strongest, and the most powerful. The fighting spirit that burned through the ages and into the future accompanied the sound, which suddenly resounded like the wrath of the heavens.

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless dimensional viewers and others in this parallel phase, a dazzling, scorching divine power, like a natural disaster, was revealed.

It possessed a brilliance and radiance no less than gold, and its heat even surpassed that of gold, condensing into a colossal handprint capable of destroying the raging sea of ​​stars, which slammed fiercely towards the two of them.

At the same time, Reinhardt's smile widened, while Skadi's expression grew colder. The former seemed to enjoy the chaos more, while the latter simply wanted to eliminate obstacles.

“————!!”

Someone took the lead in igniting the atmosphere, and three different divine powers erupted completely, making the entire dark universe seem to be colored by these three colors.

Countless spectators held their breath, regardless of others' emotions or thoughts, amidst a massive fear that seemed to devour their minds and wills, a fear that could not be suppressed or even restrained by willpower.

Under the overwhelming divine power that solidified into a tangible form, as if the entire celestial cosmos were pressing down, the entire parallel phase universe was creased into boundless wrinkles, like a sheet of paper.

This was even more terrifying than the aura that Fujii Ren had shown when Reinhard descended. Shiro, who had been fighting Wilhelm and Rusalka, disappeared and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief before he felt this terrifying pressure.

The powerful divine force sent the two flying hundreds of millions of light-years away, preventing them from even getting close to the center of the battlefield.

Facing Matilda's enormous, flaming hand, Reinhardt slightly raised his fingers, strands of golden light leaping and bursting from his fingertips. An astonishingly powerful force surged forth, causing his entire body to tremble and twist violently, as if it were about to shatter completely at any moment.

Without a single frill, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Reinhardt casually raised his hand and pointed!

"Zheng——!"

A dazzling, holy golden light shone forth, like a divine judgment unleashed by the gods, causing the heavens and earth to change color. The sky itself trembled violently, surging forth like a tidal wave breaking through a dam, and coalescing into a 'gun' that everyone could see with the naked eye.

This spear was extremely sharp and powerful, beyond imagination, and it pierced straight towards the giant hand's palm.

Skadi and others were also within the attack range.

"Crossing the Five Destinies, Establishing the Four Right Principles, Returning to the Three Enlightenments—"

Yet, amidst this clash of attacks that could be described as annihilation, Skadi merely murmured a Buddhist principle, then extended her fair hand, her five jade-like fingers spread wide, and gave it a warm handshake—and then—

[All twelve evils of Sattva are emptied!]

The Five Realms represent sentient beings, the Four Right Rebirths represent Arhats, and the Three Enlightenments represent Bodhisattvas.

The full meaning is that sentient beings, through the stages of Arhats and Bodhisattvas, continuously attain enlightenment by eliminating all kinds of sins.

Ultimately, it all returns to Bodhisattva.

Originating from a world where martial arts flourished, this enhanced version of the technique was created by combining the original Sattva Twelve Techniques of Buddhism in that world with Mary's desire for power.

Skadi's power is heavily influenced by emotions and feelings, and this move is designed to counter any attack that carries malicious intent.

Such as the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, the Infernal Killing Path, the Asura Path, the Sea Tiger Explosive Fist, etc., anything that carries even the slightest bit of malice will be forcibly neutralized and reduced to nothing.

The driving force comes from the bodhisattva love that Skadi learned from Mary.

After all, although Mary herself was not yet aware of it, her loving capacity was soothing even a terrifying being like the Golden Beast.

In Skadi's original Sea Tiger world, after she mastered this move, she almost completely suppressed all martial arts techniques in the world.

"Om-!"

A giant golden lotus bloomed in the center of the holy spear and the flaming hand. Just as their powers were about to collide and explode, the holy and loving power directly and irrationally rendered the attack completely ineffective.

The Holy Lance lost Reinhardt's core power of desire, and the Flame Hand lost Matilda's fighting spirit.

"That's interesting. How about this?"

Shana smiled and walked step by step toward Reinhardt and Skadi, her petite figure seemingly strolling through the years.

It's like a movie on fast-forward, growing every second, every moment, every instant. The speed is both fast and slow, and two completely opposite concepts have achieved a perfect fusion.

When the other party smiled and raised the Crimson Lotus Greatsword, her figure had already transformed into Matilda, who was possessed by Shana's spirit.

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless viewers, Matilda's true form is no less impressive than that of Reinhardt and Skadi.

Her eyes and long hair shone with the radiance of a red lotus. Although she was incomparably beautiful and stunning, calling her a lady would be too intense, and calling her a heroine would be too elegant. Her face, characterized by strong, sword-like eyebrows, concealed an incredible tranquility, giving people a sense of exquisite beauty, like a precious sword between her brows.

The other person was laughing, and the flames in their eyes and hair burned even more wildly.

"【Yetzirah (formation)——】"

The killing intent and fighting spirit transformed into even more intense crimson flames, which, accompanied by the chanting of the contract, forged their killing intent into form.

The Flame Demon Sword is of absolutely top-tier quality; just looking at it gives one the feeling that it will burn one's soul to ashes.

"【Deuslovult. Fire of struggle, burn everything I have (God wills this, fire of struggle, burn everything I have)】"

"【Primordial Judgment - Crimson Lotus Without End】"

The crimson flames and true red color, like a stellar explosion, ignited half the universe with the ripples emanating from the moment the greatsword appeared.

This level of "formation" is more exaggerated and astonishing than any "formation" the audience has seen before.

Although it appears to be a weapon in its physical form, it is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the fusion of human and weapon. Matilda, who manifested this sword, crossed space and broke through dimensions in one step.

With its overwhelming divine might, it relentlessly ravaged the heavens and the universe, causing unprecedented destruction.

Like the Norse demon sword Levadin, it radiates a light brighter than the sun, destined to incinerate the entire world after Ragnarok!

However, the incompatibility is very bad. In front of Matilda's world-destroying demon sword, there is also a spear of divine power that makes the gods tremble.

"Ah, as always, it's even hotter than the magic cannon soldiers. This burning sensation is so pleasing to me."

"【Yetzirah (formation)——】"

Reinhardt laughed as he faced Matilda's attack without dodging or avoiding it, seemingly intoxicated by the scorching flames that were burning his soul and destroying the heavens. Then, just like his opponent, he recited the death contract certificate.

Reinhardt and his best friend made a pact to fulfill their destined fate.

Amidst the astonishment and stunned silence of countless viewers, the video perspective was split into three: Reinhardt was in the middle, while the other two on the left and right became the two mysterious figures in black and white cloaks from before.

It was as if everyone was watching Reinhardt with amusement from behind the scenes, or perhaps it was everyone.

Beneath the tattered hoods of the black and white robes, only the lower half of a face was visible, bearing a cheerful smile similar to Reinhard's. Then, as if in sync with Reinhard, the lips were slightly raised, as if about to chant something.

Reinhardt spread his hands as if holding something, grasping at it and pointing them at Skadi and the approaching Matilda. Then, in an instant, he chanted a sacred and solemn incantation, which overlapped with two other deep voices:

“【VerefiliusDeieratiste (Son of God, revealed here)】”X3.

The Son of God!?!?

Viewers from countless dimensions were startled or even completely stunned upon hearing the true meaning of this incantation.

The chanting of words of power at the [formation] level is terrifying, after all, it is widely circulated in many world Bibles and Christian texts.

They were so astonished by Reinhardt's incantation that they were completely stunned.

But the scene that appeared after the initial shock made countless viewers feel as if they were seeing God.
