The battlefield had become chaos.
Fire burned across the shattered land. Lightning split the sky. Shockwaves rolled through the air like endless thunder.
And in the center of it all…
Lord floated like a god of destruction.
His white hair moved slowly in the wind. His radiant wings spread across the sky like a divine storm.
Below him stood thousands of heroes.
But the battle had already begun to turn into something far darker.
Lord slowly lowered his glowing eyes toward the battlefield.
Then he moved.
WHOOSH!
He vanished.
A fraction of a second later—
He appeared in the middle of a formation of heroes.
They barely had time to react.
Lord extended one hand.
"Disappear."
A wave of blinding light erupted outward.
BOOOOOOM!
The explosion tore through the battlefield.
When the light faded—
Twenty heroes were gone.
Not defeated.
Erased.
Gasps echoed through the battlefield.
But Lord was already moving again.
He shot into the sky like a comet.
Then he raised both arms.
"Angelic Rain."
The clouds above split open.
Hundreds of glowing spears of light formed in the sky.
Then they fell.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ground exploded everywhere.
Heroes ran.
Some created barriers.
Others tried to deflect the attacks.
But the power of each spear was devastating.
Another thirty heroes fell.
The battlefield trembled under the destruction.
From the front line, Titan Magnus roared.
"FORM DEFENSE!"
He slammed both fists into the ground.
Stone pillars erupted from the earth, forming a massive shield.
Several heroes gathered behind him.
But Lord simply looked down.
His expression remained calm.
"Pointless."
He raised one finger.
A single beam of condensed energy fired downward.
CRACK!
Titan Magnus's stone barrier shattered instantly.
The beam exploded across the ground.
When the dust cleared…
Titan Magnus lay unconscious.
And many heroes around him were gone.
The number was rising quickly.
Fifty.
Seventy.
One hundred.
Across the battlefield, heroes were fighting desperately.
Aria Volt shot through the sky like lightning.
Her speed was unbelievable.
She launched a concentrated lightning strike directly at Lord.
"Thunder Collapse!"
ZAAAAAP!
The lightning beam slammed into him.
The explosion lit up the sky.
But when the light faded—
Lord was still there.
Completely unharmed.
He slowly turned his head.
Then he raised his hand.
A beam of light shot forward.
Aria barely dodged.
The beam carved a massive canyon across the battlefield behind her.
"Too slow," Lord said quietly.
Suddenly—
CLANG!
A spear struck his wing.
It was Lance.
He appeared beside Lord in midair.
"Don't ignore me!"
His spear spun rapidly.
"Storm Spear Barrage!"
Dozens of strikes exploded toward Lord in rapid succession.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
For the first time—
Lord moved backward slightly.
But his eyes grew colder.
He grabbed Lance's spear mid-strike.
"Impressive."
Then he swung his arm.
BOOOOM!
Lance was launched across the sky like a missile.
He crashed into the ground hundreds of meters away.
Meanwhile—
On the ground—
Wang clenched his fists.
Energy gathered around his body like a storm.
"This monster…"
Then he launched himself forward.
His speed cracked the ground beneath him.
He appeared in front of Lord and threw a devastating punch.
BAM!
The impact echoed across the battlefield.
This time—
Lord actually moved back.
Wang didn't stop.
Another punch.
Another strike.
Another impact.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The air exploded with every hit.
For a moment—
The heroes felt hope.
But then—
Lord smiled.
"You're persistent."
His wing suddenly expanded.
Then—
BOOOOOOM!
A massive shockwave exploded outward.
Wang was thrown back violently.
He skidded across the ground for dozens of meters.
Blood dripped from his mouth.
Meanwhile—
Lord slowly rose higher into the sky.
He looked down at the battlefield.
The destruction below him was immense.
Bodies of fallen heroes covered the ground.
Explosions continued everywhere.
The number had now reached—
200 heroes lost.
But then—
A new energy appeared.
Lord turned his head.
In the distance—
A bright silver light was rising.
Asher.
He walked forward slowly.
In his hand—
Eclipse Sovereign glowed brighter than ever before.
The runes across the blade pulsed with power.
His eyes burned with fury.
He had seen everything.
The fallen heroes.
The destruction.
The blood.
Lord smiled slightly.
"So you return."
Asher lifted the sword.
"This ends now."
The battlefield went silent again.
Even the wind seemed to stop.
Then—
Asher disappeared.
BOOM!
He appeared directly in front of Lord.
The sword swung with terrifying force.
CLANG!
Lord blocked the strike with his wing.
But the impact pushed him backward.
The runes on the blade flared with light.
"Void Severance!"
Asher swung again.
This time—
The blade cut through the air itself.
A tear appeared in space.
Lord moved instantly to avoid it.
But the slash still cut part of his wing.
A small line of glowing blood appeared.
For the first time—
Lord looked surprised.
He touched the wound.
Then looked back at Asher.
"…Interesting."
Asher raised the sword again.
"Everyone!"
His voice roared across the battlefield.
"We finish this together!"
The remaining heroes shouted.
Hope returned.
Energy surged again.
And once more—
The army of humanity charged forward.
Against the True Angel.
The final battle had only just begun.
