"Give me back my gun!"
The Saint of Killers stepped forward with a dark expression.
Aaron pointed the revolver at him. "I'm curious, what would happen if you, the immortal, were shot?"
This question stumped everyone, including the Saint of Killers himself.
Having returned from Hell, he became a special being without a soul, thus making him immortal and indestructible. Even Genesis couldn't control him.
As a result, after Jesse deceived the Saint of Killers, he gave a part of his soul to the other party, which allowed him to control him, but still couldn't kill him.
The Death Revolver, on the other hand, was bestowed by the Angel of Death and possessed absolute Death. Theoretically, without a soul, he wouldn't be deprived by death. But in reality, the DC world doesn't allow such an overpowered existence.
Death encompasses everything.
Except for death itself and the Presence.
Even Lucifer might not be exempt from death.
Whether the Saint of Killers could be immune to the Omnideadly Guns was hard to say, because he couldn't shoot himself.
But now, it seemed this question could finally be answered?
Everyone thought Aaron would shoot, including the Saint of Killers himself.
They might witness a century-old mystery being unveiled.
However, to everyone's surprise, Aaron did not shoot. Instead, while everyone was captivated by the question, he devoured the Omnideadly Guns.
[Power of Death (Absolute Death): Similar ability detected and merged. Your authority over Death has increased, capable of bestowing death upon angels or demons, even extra-dimensional beings cannot be exempted.]
[Infinite Penetration: Similar ability detected and merged (Soulsword, Phasing). Your attacks possess powerful penetration, enough to pierce through all obstacles and defenses, directly hitting any enemy you sense or see, even dimensions cannot isolate your power.]
Infinite Penetration?
Aaron was a little surprised, but then he remembered that the Saint of Killers once used the Omnideadly Guns to pierce through Earth and kill an unfortunate soul on the other side of the planet, and he understood.
The Saint of Killers was originally the most unreasonable fellow in this universe.
Immortal and indestructible, Sure Hit, Absolute Death, Infinite Bullets...
With numerous abilities stacked on him, he was definitely a super bug.
Most of these abilities came from the Omnideadly Guns. Now that Aaron had devoured it, he naturally gained these abilities.
Sure Hit had already been acquired. The principle of infinite bullets was energy, and Aaron already possessed infinite energy, so the so-called infinite bullets naturally couldn't exceed his limit.
Infinite Penetration, merged with Soulsword and Phasing, theoretically possesses the power to penetrate all objects.
Whether it's the magic of imagination, or impregnable physical defenses, or even formless, intangible, extra-dimensional worlds, nothing can stop my attacks.
Combined with Inhibition Field and Flaw Strike, wouldn't I be able to sit in reality and precisely attack any target, any being, within infinite realities, and even within infinite dimensions?"
And the Power of Death... even evil, formless devils, or angels beyond time, will surely die if hit, with no escape. Even if they traverse time, my attacks will follow the river of time and strike them down.
The most terrifying thing in the world is to become my enemy.
Aaron silently mourned for his enemies.
Who told you to provoke a cheater?
Frankly speaking, Aaron didn't need to use other, more powerful abilities. Just combining these four abilities was enough to become the nightmare of other gods and demons.
Perhaps they would be sitting at home, and the next moment, a bullet would pierce through infinite distance, hit their forehead, forcefully erase their life force, and deliver them to death.
Aaron created two identical revolvers. He also added a little decoration to these two guns.
The originally rough, silver-white gun body transformed into a brilliant golden yellow, shimmering under the sunlight. He also added a few small buffs to this gun.
There wasn't much to say, just that on top of the original features, he added things like Speed Force, The Green, and so on.
With a thought, he could switch to rapid-fire mode, speeding up the bullets to deliver death faster.
At the same time, the revolver's rapid-fire mode could transform into a machine gun, firing tens of thousands of bullets per second, turning this top-tier single-target artifact into an AOE output artifact.
It could be called an epic enhancement.
This allowed the wielder to transform into a Deathstorm, instantly wiping out a super army alone.
And it could also switch to healing mode, transforming from a gun of death into a gun of life. It could deliver healing to desired targets across infinite universes and the river of time.
In this mode, the wielder could become a super healer. Even in a team battle, they wouldn't need to go to the battlefield, they could stay home and heal teammates from a distance. One shot could fully restore someone's condition, almost bringing them back from the dead.
Moreover, this healing was targeted. Even if someone tried to snatch the healing or block it in between, it would be useless. The bullet would pass through them and reach the intended target.
After this wave of enhancements, calling it the Death Revolver was clearly no longer appropriate.
This was a terrifying gun of death, and also a gun of life full of vitality and love.
Maybe I could call it the Golden Revolver? Or one called Deathstorm and the other Lifebringer?
Aaron was deliberating when, to the horror of others, he shot himself.
"No!"
Jesse screamed in fright.
Satan was dumbfounded. "Someone's so tired of living that they're committing suicide?"
The Saint of Killers, meanwhile, was pained for his gun. Its originally beautiful, cold silver body had turned into a gaudy, ugly, and overly vulgar golden color.
But Aaron had shot himself, perhaps he could get the gun back and repaint it?
But surprisingly, Aaron was completely unharmed after being shot.
There was clearly a bullet mark on his arm, but no sign of impending death?
"Impossible! Where did you hide my gun?"
The Saint of Killers tried to retrieve his silver-white Death Revolver from Aaron. But Aaron pointed the revolver at him at that moment.
"This isn't my gun, you can't do anything to me. Give me back my gun."
The Saint of Killers was not afraid. Instead, he charged forward proactively.
Bang!
The bullet left the barrel, instantly hitting the Saint of Killers and shattering him completely.
Saint of Killers died.
However, he did not die by the Death Revolver, but by Aaron's Inhibition Field.
Saint of Killers was, after all, the most important character in this world, having slaughtered his way through Heaven and Hell, personally killing Satan and God.
Ordinary methods, at least those of others within this universe, could not harm Saint of Killers.
Only by using rules from beyond the universe, transcending this world, could Saint of Killers be killed.
Coincidentally, Aaron knew how.
He casually gathered the scattered remains of the Saint of Killers and devoured them.
After a while, he said with a look of disgust, "I thought he was so powerful, but he's just a useless little weakling."
He did not gain any abilities from the Saint of Killers.
Because the Saint of Killers was a being without a soul to begin with, his inability to die was also based on his lack of a soul.
In other words, if another person were to go through the same process, they could also become an immortal. However, this was quite useless to Aaron.
But he wasn't too disheartened. After all, his current immortality was even better than the Saint of Killers's.
In fact, he had many ways to kill the Saint of Killers.
Granting a soul to him, then finishing him off with the Penance Stare.
Or direct devouring by the Primordial Furnace.
Or snatching the Saint of Killers's soul from the hands of Death. With a soul, the Saint of Killers would no longer be immortal.
Aaron then looked at Satan and the two angels.
Meeting his gaze and seeing the motionless "remains" of the Saint of Killers, all three of them changed drastically.
Fiore and DeBlanc had an idea, and they both prostrated themselves.
"Great Lord, great God, we are willing to be your dogs, to be at your command, to serve you."
Satan was dumbfounded.
The angels knelt already? Damn it, how could they kneel faster than him?
Satan had originally wanted to maintain some composure, to demonstrate his worth, as his status was "equivalent" to God's. However, it was this delay that caused the revolver to turn and point at him.
Satan flinched and was about to kneel, but the bullet's speed was faster than his reaction.
In less than one ten-thousandth of a second, the bullet, carrying Death and Speed Force, struck Satan's chest at light speed and the latter exploded with a bang.
Satan, dead!
This scene terrified the two angels, who were drenched in sweat, secretly relieved that they had knelt quickly enough. If they had been even a nanosecond slower, they would have died without a burial place.
The Saint of Killers and God were both dead. They didn't think that the angels' immortality could withstand the bullets.
Aaron waved his hand and devoured Satan's remains.
Several streams of light surged into his limbs and bones, and a profound, mysterious feeling emerged.
[Pseudo-Power of Satan: You have gained a portion of the power of Hell's Satan, representing characteristics such as darkness and chaos, containing considerable potential.]
Indeed, this world's Satan was just a fake. There was a fundamental difference from the true Satan.
Aaron was not surprised,
After all, this world's Satan was created by this world's God.
Even God himself, in his billions of years of life, was driven mad by loneliness, becoming a cruel, ruthless, and unloving old man.
He deliberately orchestrated a series of disasters to punish his chosen "children," tormenting them to the brink of death, then feigned a holy demeanor, proclaiming his love for them and claiming that was why he "tested" them.
In reality, he reveled in it.
God enjoyed watching these spectacles, watching as his "children's" most cherished possessions were taken, their dignity destroyed, their eyes blinded.
And then he still demanded their love, their praise, their adoration, and their obedience. Any slight deviation from his will was an invitation to death.
The Satan that emerged from such a God was merely an imposter with the name of Satan but without the essence of Satan.
Perhaps when God himself created this Satan and Hell, it was not only for amusement, but also to use the existence of Hell to make the "children" he created, who possessed "consciousness" and "love," obey him?
Aaron was already mentally prepared for this. He only regretted it for a moment before dismissing it from his mind.
His gains this time were plentiful. In the future, facing angels and demons, even if he stood still, most of their methods would be ineffective against him. Only certain special angels and archdemons might pose some threat to him. And that was only a "might."
Jesse and Fiore didn't know what Aaron had done. But they vaguely sensed that the evil aura in the world had significantly dimmed.
The balance, which had been subtly overwhelmed by darkness, returned to its original state.
Satan was dead, truly dead.
Excellent, now their world's God was gone, Satan was dead, and even Death itself was dead.
All the bosses were gone, and balance was restored, how wonderful!
If everyone died, didn't that mean no one died?
Fiore and DeBlanc trembled even more, pressing their heads as close to the ground as possible, fearing another gunshot.
That bullet, faster than time, would slaughter them in an instant, even if they fled to Heaven.
No escape!
But upon closer thought, if such a powerful being became their leader, the sense of security would be immense.
"Father God... please move to Heaven. We will hold the grandest coronation ceremony for you."
"At that time, Hell, the Human world, and Heaven will all sing your greatness. You will be the Lord of Heaven, the sole and sacred Lord of the Three Worlds."
DeBlanc continued to bow and flatter.
This was the best moment. Once Aaron ascended, he would become the true Lord of the Three Worlds.
No one would object, no one would dare to object.
This was a very tempting choice.
At least for all living beings in this world, it was so.
But for Aaron, he had no interest. After acquiring everything, including the divine throne, it dissipated like an illusion.
The church returned to its original appearance. Aside from the prostrating angels and Jesse and the others who were still in shock, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Although God and Satan were dead, the world continued to turn.
The Angel of Death, due to Saint of Killers's death, had no choice but to resume her duties, shouldering the task of death.
However, this time, her wings would never recover. Even a large part of her authority over Death was gone.
But she did not complain, diligently performing the monotonous task she had done for millions of years, like a machine.
The world returned to peace.
Was it more peaceful and serene without God than it was with God before?
