Chapter 673 Fate
673 Fate
Sometimes, the will of fate is so strong, it ties 2 people together. Even before Dorian had stepped into this world, he had long been destined to go against Beelzebub. Fate, although ever changing, is actually a fixed constant. Perhaps in Dorian's book of life, he was destined to one day face off against a great Underworld Prince.
In his former world, some of those senior exorcists had told him that his destiny was blurry and that he should prepare. They all thought he would be dealing with creatures in that world. But here he was, in an entirely new world, facing off an incredibly powerful entity none of the former world masters in his previous life could handle. His destiny, although delayed, still proved inevitable. There it was—the Bony Finger. It was quite evident to see, seeing that the human made no effort in hiding its existence. "Bahahahahahahahaha~"
Beelzebub laughed maniacally, a laughter that was bone-chilling and menacing. Even from the far corners of the world, all animals, birds, and humans could hear it. The Mighty Underworld Lord was furious!
"Human, I don't even want to know your name." He began, his lips slowly forming a deep murderous arc. "Your name is irrelevant. All I know is that you dared to make a mockery of me, sending me out on a wild goose chase."
Then, Beelzebub stopped talking, opening his mouth in an unnatural way. His mouth spewed open and expanded to the size of a regular door.
So Ugly… So ugly… the onlookers puked once more. They felt psychologically attacked, feeling as though these millions of flies were crawling on their flesh. Bzzzzz~
The flies moved erratically, swarming around and forming a mighty Staff with a strange white jewel on it. Where did the giant crystal jewel come from?
Never mind. After all the magical things they've seen so far, why should they be concerned with a mere crystal?
Beelzebub's horns continued to grow and curl up like a ram's. Asmodeus, Lucifer and Belphegor also took out distinctive weapons of their own with menacing smiles. [Lucifer]: "Well, since everyone has a dancing partner, it seems it's time to hit the dance floor."
[Old Gia]: "Indeed, enough talk…. Time to dance."
Dance? Dance? Sweat trickled down the foreheads of many, knowing that this was the final showdown. In truth, whether humanity survives or not, was solely depended on these top echelon battles that were about to commence. "This is Lucy Lu, Reporting Live. At this moment, we offer a silent prayer to the chalk God."
"This is Maycroft Hang reporting Live. It's starting, the true war to determine humanity's survival!"
A strange light flickered in Chen Su's eyes when watching the square-up. A big part of him was rooting for humanity to lose. Many in the crowd were anxious beyond belief. But before they could react any further, both Dorian and Beelzebub had already parted their lips slowly. And the next thing they knew, they saw unbelievable things that left them trembling in horror. Just how powerful were these underworld Princes and Leader Titans?
"Die…" Beelzebub's voice was calm and didn't raise an octave when speaking.
He didn't even use his staff, only pointing a finger at Dorian. BOOM!
A massive meteor-like blast echoed that if not for Dorian, could have split the country into half. WHAT?
Everyone's heart couldn't keep up. The news reporter crew that was on a floating landscape, quickly captured the incredulous damage that could be seen for as far as the eyes could tell. Mind you, this was after Dorian had counterattacked. Several world leaders, ministers, governors, and military personnel and those in top positions felt their breathing become deeper and more rapid. "Incredible… We are just getting word of the damage that crossed international waters and went all the way to Hamil, Fordeck, Vardos and several other continents."
This… This… This… "How does one fight against such an entity without magic?"
"Worthy of being an Underworld Prince. Before, they told us he can destroy half the world with a snap of his fingers. At first, I thought they were exaggerating. But now…"
Gulp! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Several people didn't even want to imagine how terrible it would be if Beelzebub used his staff. If one prince is this powerful, then imagine the strength of all 4 princes combined?
Can they, humans, truly win this war?
Dorian had deflected 99.9% of the attack, sending the rest into space.
Dorian frowned, realizing a stark matter in his heart. 'He's still slightly more powerful than I.' Dorian inwardly concluded. But so what? It was too early to say who would lose or who would win. However, he knew he had to go all out for Beelzebub. Besides, he wasn't alone. The unreliable system, and his beloved Bony Finger, were right by his side. Dorian's face remained calm and unbothered, as if Beelezbub's strength wasn't of concern.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!~
Their battle was fierce, leading them to far parts of the world midair. At one point they fought over the ocean's waters. In other instances, they were in completep;y different countries, battling nonstop as they circled back to where they started. And in all this, the Tricker was watching in many shapes and forms.
That's right, they followed them. He shapeshifted to a bird, then to a whale, then a duck, a goat, a swan, and every other creature one can imagine. Gwakakakakakakka~
He was ecstatic. Yes, yes… more. He needed more. It was all too enticing for him, causing him to boldly transform right before the duo who were fighting. The world also caught sight of him. "YOU BLOODY TRICKSTER!" Beelezbub's voice shattered countless glass window walls. "This is your doing., isn't it?"
The exorcists… the Bony finger… It's all this bastard's fault!
Swish!
Loki easily dodged the attack, with both hands playfully tucked behind his head. "Hey, hey, hey now, old pal. Don't go blaming me for everything. Maybe I had a hand in it, and maybe I didn't. But so what? From the moment you told me your plans, you should have expected my need for excitement, no?"
