Dimensional Descent
chapter-3008

"Only Nature is Eternal."

She spoke these words in a voice as sweet as honey and as delicate as dew. And yet, the God Runes that were still merging into the Demi-God Realm reacted just as fiercely nonetheless.

BANG!

Evergreen's palm struck out and met Leonel's spear. There was a slight struggle before the spear light was shredded to pieces.

A yin and yang sort of energy became like pestle and mortar, grinding down against all the energies of the world.

Evergreen sat in a lotus position in the middle of these two floating wooden structures.

These two were the halves of her Idol, a rare Dual Idol.

The lotuses in her eyes suddenly stopped rotating as though they had just snapped into place. At the same time, a great amount of hair-raising danger flooded Leonel's senses, but his reaction seemed as though he didn't notice at all.

The Constellation high in the skies above him suddenly moved. It stretched out a hand and plucked at the stars, drawing two fingers, pressed together, in an arc that formed the body of a bow. Its second hand moved toward the middle of the bow's body and the strings of the universe played a heavenly tune that formed the bowstring.

A lance-arrow was drawn that focused its attention on Evergreen.

Leonel didn't want a long, drawn-out battle. He had come here for victory.

God or not.

She would have to fall beneath his blade.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Reality exploded and the void seemed to pierce into it, spreading out its tendrils as the half-formed God Realm Runes were slow to repair space.

Leonel moved and his spear arched through the air.

A battle the likes of which could sunder the skies and shatter the earth erupted. Leonel's spear moved with the grace of someone who had experienced thousands of battles, and the palms of Evergreen seemed as endless as Nature itself, ever-present, ever-existing, ever-changing.

Leonel had lost count of the number of souls he had taken to be able to stand here today. But that wasn't a badge of honor. He remembered a time when he knew the exact number, and he knew that he could have continued to know the exact number had he continued to count.

Leonel had lost count of the number of souls he had taken to be able to stand here today. But that wasn't a badge of honor. He remembered a time when he knew the exact number, and he knew that he could have continued to know the exact number had he continued to count.

But he hadn't.

He knew the reason why. It was because he didn't want to think about it. He didn't want to think about the number of people that had fallen beneath his blade because he could no longer say that he was proud of it.

However, today, he could feel the heaviness of those deaths with those blades. The more he fought, the less the power of Blackstar and Drake seemed to matter, and it was more like the heftiness of his spear was being entirely dictated by the raging waves in his heart.

He parried an arm of white-gold to the side and slashed down to crush a black wooden palm. The world seemed to be concentrated into his blade edge, and every attack he levied carried the air of the master of a spear.

His spear was arrogant, unruly, and unwilling to be blocked or stopped by even the slightest thing. And when it erupted…

It destroyed.

ROAR!

The pores of Leonel's body opened wide and large amounts of Universal Force flooded into his body.

All those that saw this scene were taken aback. Everyone knew that Universal Force was an atmospheric support. It wasn't a Force that could be taken into your body.

Many had tried, only to end up severely injured or even dead. However, the sudden explosion everyone was looking for didn't happen.

The elegant grace of Leonel's spear returned. From elegant to simple and once again back to elegant. He carried the mysteries of the world in his blade and the weight of it on his back.

Leonel exploded forward and the Northern Star pulsed.

Tolliver pierced into Leonel's skin, thrusting itself into the pockets of hidden layers that stored the tattoos that danced across his body, and suddenly the two had become one.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Blackstar's Destruction Idol thrummed and Drake's Idol pierced through the veil.

Leonel appeared before Goddess Evergreen, staring into her lotus pupils with a cold indifference that pierced into her soul.

His spear thrust out and she parried with a palm, striking out at his chest.

Leonel seemed to have already seen through this, using the momentum of the parry to glide his body to the side and make his target small.

Evergreen's palm passed by him and ripped a gash through his military wear and chest with just the wind pressure alone, but Leonel didn't seem to notice as he carried his momentum forward, driving a knee right into her chest.

She actually dared to remain seated when she was facing off against him, and she paid the price for it.

His knee exploded with Gun Force and what must have once been a beautiful chest was minced to pieces.

Evergreen was blown away, but Leonel had already taken a step forward, swinging down his blade with all the force that he could muster.

It truly felt as though the weight of an entire world concentrated onto its tip. Everything happened so fast that others didn't even have time to react to the fact that Leonel was thoroughly beating a God who was already well known for her talent.

Whether it was insight, sharpness, or deduction… she had lost in all aspects but raw power.

However, Evergreen was a ruthless character herself. Despite her injuries, there wasn't the slightest fluctuation in her eyes. Her hands suddenly pressed together in a seal as Leonel's blade was about to cut her in two.

In order to attack her like this, Leonel had to come in between her Dual Idol… and there was a reason that most did not dare.

A grinding force appeared above and below Leonel and his skin instantly erupted into shredded pieces of flesh, in the next instant, it would be his body.

But at that moment, his Spear Dance erupted for the second time in battle, countering the grinding force.

His eyes, even dripping with blood, carried the same coldness.

His spear exploded with strength and drove into Evergreen's head.

This battle was over.

PCHU!

Leonel froze as a bowl-sized hole appeared through his chest.

Evergreen fell toward his Destruction World below, her beautiful head cut in two.

"That's enough." Two more Gods, exuding auras even more powerful than Evergreen, appeared on either side of the spinning lotuses.
