As I was tearing apart the monstrous Emperor, the bastard suddenly began to shapeshift! Fleshy tendrils and tentacles began to emerge from his body, completely erupting out of the ground like a living meatball. The enormous eruption of flesh threw me away several meters, making my large body roll around the floor. I quickly got myself back together, only to see the bastard devouring the corpses left behind by his soldiers, with clothes and armor included! The more of these dried out corpses he absorbed, the larger and more grotesque he grew. Countless of faces and limbs began to sprout out of his body monstrously, as if the corpses of all these soldiers were brought back to life with him.

"OOOOOOOHHHH…!"

The eerie groan of countless heads groaning in unison resonated across the deserted battlefield, as I noticed one tentacle flying towards Sol nearby! Was this bastard trying to eat him now?!

I immediately unleashed a slicing wind attack combined with holy light and purification, which I named Holy Wind Slash, the slash was fast and strong enough to slash through the thick tentacle, as I used the opportunity to fly towards Sol and grab him with my Divinity and Phantom Aura Tentacles.

"No way I am letting you eat him, shithead!"

I quickly decided to do something I haven't done in a while. According to the System, the Item Box Skill I have must be the same I had in Genesis, meaning that I can store living beings as long as they're unconscious!

Without a sheer of a doubt, I opened a portal to my Item Box and threw Sol inside, quickly storing him as if he were an item. Sorry buddy, but you'll have to stay there for now. I can't store you inside of Silva because if anybody is inside of her (with the exception of the monsters she creates), she can't close the gates to her dungeon.

"GRUOOOHHHHH…!"

The monstrous groan of the ever-growing mass of flesh continued. If it was the me from back then, I could also be able to transform into an abomination to beat him, but as of now, I am limited to this body and what I can do with it. Maybe with Aquamarine and Black and White, I could make something up, but with them busy dealing with the evasive Demon woman, this is the most I can do right now.

An enormous tentacle quickly clashed over the floor, sweeping over the dirt and attempting to crush me mercilessly.

TRUUUM…!

"Arcane, Mary, distract him!"

I evaded the tentacle by flying into the skies, only for the two Ego weapons to emerge. They were already cracked and damaged, and although they had self-repair Skills, they were taking a good amount of time to recover.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Arcane absorbed my MP, as he suddenly conjured twenty different magic circles, where enormous Meteors emerged, all of them falling over the moving meatball constantly.

Each meteor was more mighty than the previous one, quickly setting ablaze the bastard.

SLAAASH!

Meanwhile, Mary unleashed her strongest slashing attack, gathering all the Blood Essence she could muster which she had absorbed from the human soldiers and unleashing a slashing attack, slicing through the enormous mass of flesh of the Emperor.

CRAAASH!

An enormous wound opened, which slowly attempted to close. In the center of it all, I saw a glowing black sword completely covered in fleshy veins and glowing red and black in colors.

Was this thing behind the Emperor's apparent immortality?

CLASH! CLASH!

Suddenly, over twenty gigantic tentacles that reached up to a hundred meters each slapped Arcane and Mary while they were in midair attacking, their bodies quickly shattered into pieces.

They were probably about to die anyways, so I quickly picked them up from midair and ate them, Ego included.

CRUNCH!

With the power of the Divine Authority of Gluttony and other Titles such as Taboo: Uroboros, I absorbed the essence of the vessels they were using, those magic weapons, alongside the Egos themselves through Soul Devour. With that alone, my HP and my MP began to refill to max in an instant, and my stats suddenly increased by a decent amount! I had never eaten Egos before, but they were surely a tasty meal.

Ding!

[You learned the [Blazing Meteor: Lv1] and [Blood Feast: Lv1] Skills]

[The Levels of several Skills has increased]

[The Levels of several Title Skills has increased]

And out of nowhere, I acquired two Skills.

"What…?!"

Was this the doing of my Divine Authority? Or was this Uroboros finally awakening further? I was already almost hitting max level, but not yet, this was a welcome surprise, especially because I really needed such power right now!

Without further ado, I combined the power of Holy Flames and Purification with Blazing Meteor, suddenly summoning enormous blazing rocks covered with holy flames, ten of them in one second!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…!

The enormous explosions reached the aberrant mass of flesh that the prestigious Emperor had become, his entire body began to melt into a soup of blood and flesh, as his tentacles tried to fight against my meteors but quickly ended weakening due to the holy flames consuming the dark energies within his body.

"Let's make use of their Skills! Your children didn't sacrificed themselves for nothing, you bastard!"

I loaded myself with the power of my Divine Authority of Gluttony and the Dao of Defiance, Fortune, and Demise, combining them with my Divine Aura, Phantasmal Aura, and Divine Domain, forming an enormous expansive aura that enchanted the power of my attacks!

CLAAASH!

I hit the Emperor's open wound with all I had, beginning to dig through his flesh. This time, I used [Blood Feast] to absorb his blood like a Vampire. The absorbed blood quickly turned into Blood Essence, loading me with energy! I infused this power into my jaws, as I began spamming [Mighty Caterpillar Bite] through his flesh!

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

"Come on…!"

I kept digging deeper and deeper, until I finally saw the black-colored Demon Sword in the core of this mass of flesh!

Loading my mouth with the power of Holy Flames and Purification, I unleashed a storm of holy flames and light into the sword, quickly weakening it!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

"GRUOOOHHH…!"

The entire mass of flesh that the Emperor had become suddenly began to fall apart into pieces, as his last groans of agony resonated across the battlefield.

"There you are!"

As I extended a hand made out of my Divine Aura to catch the sword, it suddenly flew away from my grasp, reaching the skies!

TRUUUMMM…!

And in seconds, an enormous cloud of darkness gathered around the flying sword, suddenly making it shapeshift once more!

Can this end already?!
