Chapter 9 - The Woman Named Death

His mouth trembled, and he spoke hesitantly. "Mi-Miss Death, wait a moment!" His eyes immediately glowed green. 

Crack! 

A sudden shockwave shattered the cube-shaped room instantly. It shattered like fragile glass.

"You have no right to speak." Death slowly approached him. "Now my power is at its peak—"

The air above Enatur instantly vibrated, forming gravitational pressure, and pressing his body down until he bent over.

Death teleported right in front of Enatur's face. "Killing you once is still not enough to satisfy me!" Their gazes met.

"Master!" Rein shouted.

Enatur released the aura of Nature Flow energy, covering his entire body. "Please don't act rashly, Miss Death. Even if you kill me..."

Enatur narrowed his eyes. "My mom will definitely come after you!"

Death smiled slyly. "So what, what can Mom do?"

Enatur was surprised. "Mom? You call my mom, 'Mom', too?"

"It seems Mom didn't tell you anything about me, huh?" Said Death.

The gravitational pressure stopped. "Hah... hah! Mom told me about my first sister!" Said Enatur.

Crash!

Thunder rumbled behind the black clouds, and Enatur reflexively flinched.

Kaboom!

A lightning bolt of thousands of volts struck Enatur's body.

"AARRGGHHH!" He screamed.

Enatur clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced his skin, causing blood to flow from between his fingers. He tried to withstand the lightning strike.

Enatur formed a steel spear from Nano Tungsten, right beside him. The lightning immediately diverted, striking the steel spear as a lightning rod.

His entire body was smoking from the lightning strike.

"Hah... hah!" His breathing was heavy, but he only suffered injuries.

Enatur immediately jumped backward, keeping his distance from Death.

Death snapped her fingers, and the lightning immediately disappeared. "Huh, not bad!"

Death formed a whirlwind above her palm. "Do I need to increase my power a little?"

She held her palm forward, and an EF1 tornado whirlwind spun rapidly toward where Enatur was standing.

Enatur held it back by opening a dimensional portal with a diameter larger than her tornado whirlwind. Instantly, the tornado entered the portal.

Rein floated far enough away from them. "Is this the strongest entity known as a god?" Rein muttered.

Death was suddenly right behind Enatur. He swallowed hard, turning around with a frightened look on his face. Her right palm touched Enatur's back.

Boom!

The shockwave injured his back, causing him to fall to the ground.

Crash!

His body hit the ground. "It hurts!" His body felt pain all over from hitting the ground.

"Master!" Rein shouted. She and Po-chan rushed over to Enatur.

"Gah!" Enatur vomited a lot of blood. His hands supported his weight. "Damn it! Just one touch on my back feels like being hit by a giant hammer."

His voice was faltering. "Rein... Po-chan!"

"Yes, Master?" said Rein. Enatur whispered something.

The screen on Po-chan's chest read: "We. Will. Do. It. Master!"

Enatur opened the storage room, and they went inside.

Death teleported in front of Enatur, who was still lying on the ground. "Too weak! I don't even feel like killing you!"

Enatur was reminded of a flashback from his past...

---

At that time, Enatur was only 8 years old. He was having a conversation with Yunia. They were sitting in the gazebo in the front yard of the mansion. His head was resting on Yunia's lap.

"Honey, I will support you in skipping grades to go to university. But there are conditions you must comply with!" said Yunia.

"Heeh~... why are there conditions?" Little Enatur puffed out his cheeks.

"The conditions are that you must continue to practice your ability to control Space and some basic Time. Then I will teach you an effective method."

Little Enatur turned his head. "An effective method?"

"A method to survive against opponents who are much stronger!"

Enatur pouted his lips. "Who am I going to fight against?"

Yunia chuckled softly. "Someday... you will definitely meet someone stronger!"

---

Punch!

Enatur punched the ground, a grin on his face. He slowly got up, and Death backed up a few meters.

"I can still... put up a fight. I won't... lose!" he said firmly.

Death smiled slightly. "Good determination." Her confidence was sky-high. "If you can give me even the smallest scratch, I'll back off!"

Enatur formed twin swords from Nano Tungsten.

Enatur darted towards Death. Quickly, Enatur opened a dimensional space and darted inside.

Death was quite surprised, her eyes scanning the entire area, predicting where Enatur would appear. Ten dimensional spaces opened above her head, surrounding her.

Hundreds of chains with dagger tips, Dagger Chains, shot out and sped towards Death. She shifted her body slightly, dodging the dagger chain attack.

Hundreds of dagger chains were stuck in the ground.

Death looked around again. "That bastard is still hiding in his Space."

Beep... Beep!

Death heard the ticking of each chain. She focused on the small rectangular object attached to the chains. She saw the countdown on the rectangular object.

00.03

00.02

00.01

00.00

The reflection in her eyes showed the fire from the exploding bombs.

Beeeeep!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions occurred simultaneously, merging into a huge explosion that shook the ground. Smoke 40 meters high formed a mushroom cloud.

The dagger chains re-entered the portal and disappeared. A cloud of dust covered the area where Death stood. The wind wave from Death swept away all the dust.

Shortly thereafter, a dimensional portal opened right next to Death. Enatur emerged from the portal, his left hand swinging his sword towards Death.

Touch!

Death blocked the sword swing with just two fingers. The corner of her eye glanced at Enatur, and suddenly Death's eyes widened.

His right hand connected to the dimensional portal.

The dimensional portal opened on his right side, and Death immediately turned to her right. Enatur's right hand swung his sword towards Death.

Touch!

Death again blocked the sword with two fingers. "Is that all?"

A 20-meter diameter storage space opened in the air, 100 meters in front of Death. The storage space was connected to his station.

Ten fighter jets hovered. Rein controlled the fighter jets from the main server, inside storage space.

Launch!

The jets launched dozens of missiles aimed at Death. Enatur laughed slyly. "This time you're hit, Miss Death!"

Sigh!

She just sighed, and instantly a wave of air stopped the dozens of missiles. The missiles shook from the air wave.

Baaaaannnnnnggggg!

Dozens of missiles exploded.

Enatur froze and stared blankly. It was as if he couldn't believe that dozens of his missiles had been stopped with just a sigh.

Enatur jumped backward, closing all the spaces. "Tch! I had locked onto her movements... but it turns out there's still no opening to attack her!" He Thought

Sweat trickled down his cheeks, his breathing growing heavier. Exhaustion made his body unable to move as nimbly as before.

Death smiled thinly. "Huh... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. So you've mastered Mom's dirty tricks... I'm quite impressed!"

"I've been underestimating the Authority of Space all this time. I never thought it would be this useful in battle!" Muttured Enatur.

Enatur grinned, silencing Death instantly. "Are you sure, Miss Death?"

He snapped his fingers. A portal opened right behind Death's back.

"Mirror Dimensional Space!"

Whooooosssshhh!

The tornado wind hit Death's back. Enatur smiled, this time feeling satisfied that he had succeeded in attacking Death.

Her body was pushed several meters by the tornado wind. However, the wind only pushed her, but did not injure her back.

"Huh?!" Enatur's mouth fell open again. "Impossible... still no effect?" His eyes trembled. He began to feel frustrated and gritted his teeth.

Her head turned to Enatur. "Wind, lightning, storms are only a small part of my Authority, the universe of the sky. Do you think my Authority would turn back to hurt me?"

His eyes were still trembling and widened. His mouth opened wide.

Death stood up straight again. "I gave you a chance to attack me, but... Sigh! Unfortunately, none of your attacks were meaningful. Not even Earth's Nature Flow!"

Death stretched out her left hand, green light shining in her palm. A large scythe appeared in her palm.

"Alright, now it's my turn to attack you. With your combat intelligence, I don't need to worry about using all my strength!" Said Death.

"He is weak, but his tactical abilities make a slight difference."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, racing with adrenaline. Enatur just smiled resignedly. Death walked slowly toward him.

"Where's your spirit from earlier?"

Enatur immediately knelt before Death, his head touching the ground. Death stopped in her steps.

"I beg your mercy, Miss Death! I've run out of ways to survive against you!"

Death raised one eyebrow. "Huh?"

"I'll do anything as long as you spare my life!" Said Enatur.

Her face immediately became cold. "Have you given up?"

He answered firmly. "Yes, my survival instincts are at their limit!"

Death touched her forehead. "Seriously, you think I have mercy for you?"

A 100-meter-diameter storage space opened behind Death. It was 2 km away from where she stood.

From behind the space, Rein aimed at Death's position. In the central control room, Po-chan's clawed hand pressed the red button.

The storage room was connected to the nuclear launch pad, which was aimed at an angle of 0°, to cross the portal provided by Enatur.

Instantly, the nuclear missile launched at the target coordinates outside the portal, not inside this space.

The nuclear missile had passed through the storage space and was rapidly heading towards where Death was standing.

Death senses the presence of the nuclear missile heading towards her. "Tch! I knew it."

Death turns around, her right hand touching the tip of the nuclear missile. The detonator is activated. Enatur immediately opens the dimensional portal and jumps inside.

A flash of white light explodes, blinding the eyes. After that...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

A 30 km diameter fireball exploded violently, its 150 megaton force shaking the ground.

The shockwave instantly spread over a radius of 80 km, devastating the surface of the earth. It was accompanied by a violent earthquake.

Thermal radiation burned the surface of the earth, and continued to spread rapidly. Earth-017 was indeed uninhabited, as if the earth had accepted its destruction.

A mushroom cloud rose high into the earth's atmosphere, reaching a height of 30 km. It was even visible from outside the earth. Slowly, radioactive particles fell to the earth.

The dimensional portal opened, and Enatur stepped out of it. Now he was wearing full armor and an armor helmet with an air filter made of Nano Tungsten.

Dark clouds covered the sky, turning day into a dark night. The ground was burning, as if Enatur was walking on fire. He set up a protection cube space.

Once safe from radioactive exposure, Rein and Po-chan exited the portal.

"Did we succeed, Master?" Rein asked.

"It should have worked. An explosion as powerful as a nuclear one would definitely hurt her, at least seriously enough that it would take a long time to heal."

"I hope that crazy woman was exposed to the radiation. It's very poisonous, after all," said Rein.

The wind suddenly changed direction, as if something was sucking it up. The wind picked up speed, confusing them.

"What's happening?" said Enatur in surprise.

Even radioactive particles were sucked in. From the view of the earth, the wind all over the earth was sucked in. Previously, dozens of nuclear bombs had been detonated.

The wind was sucked into one center, where Death stood. Enatur's eyes widened instantly. The air instantly changed drastically, becoming cleaner and free from radioactive exposure.

The cube-shaped space shattered, as did the nano-particles that formed the armor, scattering and re-entering Enatur's body.

"Thank you for the meal, Enatur Vermillion," said Death, standing tall. "I don't know what these particles are, but they seem suitable for strengthening my Authority!"

Death did not move from her previous position, but her clothes were torn. Even her long skirt was destroyed, revealing her smooth, slim, and long legs.

But her right palm was slightly injured.

Rein floated slightly forward, her tone hysterical. "Impossible! Even a god couldn't survive, let alone absorb radioactive particles!"

Her tongue licked the outside of her lips with a seductive expression. "Hee~... those particles are called radioactive, huh. I'll remember your kindness through your grave stone, Enatur."

Enatur lost his spirit. His legs trembled, and even his knees were unable to support his body. "I gave everything I had to make a small wound, but this woman devoured the destruction."

Kneel!

His knees touched the ground, Enatur's face radiating deep despair. There was nothing else Enatur could muster.

Death raised her hand high to stretching her beautiful body. "Hmmph! Alright, are you ready to face the final moments of your death... Enatur Vermillion!"
