The Doom Slayer halted his steps.
Before him was the final barrier to the Hell Core Palace—a crimson energy barrier flowing with lava runes, astonishingly thick, and exuding an evil aura repulsive and terrifying enough to make one sick with fear.
Beyond the barrier, Mephisto's massive, twisted projection pulsed like a swirling vortex of boiling blood, as the primal power of Hell surged madly into him.
"Struggling in vain." Beneath the faceplate, a cold electronic voice remained utterly calm.
The kill counter in the corner of his vision flashed wildly, the numbers long having exceeded their limit, the crimson glow almost engulfing the entire interface.
Every kill, every gift of Death from a demon, propelled this killing machine to even greater heights!
Boom—!
Mephisto launched his attack first! Crimson energy, like a tangible raging tide, surged out from behind the barrier!
The [Soul Annihilation Wave] condensed with the authority of the Hell Core!
Twisted skulls shrieked, and wherever they passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing abyssal cracks of void! This was the ultimate curse, ignoring physical defenses and directly scorching the soul!
DOOM moved!
[Charge!] The armor's thrusters erupted with furious flames, and he charged forward instead of retreating, daringly rushing into the annihilating torrent! His speed was so immense that he left several afterimages behind him!
Buzz—
A massive shield-saw instantly unfolded in front of DOOM's left arm! The crimson torrent of curses slammed heavily against the shield, emitting a grating, corrosive sound! The shield's surface energy flickered violently, and cracks spread! But it only held for half a second!
Crack!
The shield shattered! The remaining energy torrent slammed heavily into DOOM's armor!
Sizzle—!
Blinding red light exploded on the deep green armor! The faceplate's vision was instantly covered by a warning red glow! "SOUL INTEGRITY WARNING!"
DOOM's body was slammed backward by the immense Impact, plowing dozens of meters, the scorched lava beneath his feet being ripped open into deep furrows.
Large areas of scorched burns were left on his armor, and the energy shield display instantly plummeted to critical red!
"Roar—!!!" Mephisto's projection let out a roar of ecstasy, "Do you feel it?! Little ant! The pain of your soul being torn apart?! The authority of Hell, how could you…"
His roar abruptly ceased!
Because the moment DOOM stabilized his body, he had already raised his right hand! The chainsaw sword in his hand was replaced by a weapon with a ferocious design and a muzzle like the fangs of a giant beast—the [BFG-9000!] Eerie green energy gathered frantically at the core of the muzzle, emitting a heart-pounding roar!
"Taste this." A cold declaration.
A destructive emerald green beam of light tore through space, instantly piercing through Mephisto's proud [Soul Annihilation Wave]! Wherever the beam passed, the crimson curse evaporated instantly like snow thrown into a furnace!
Its speed undiminished, it slammed heavily into the palace's energy barrier!
Rumble—!!!
An unprecedented explosion! The entire Hell dimension trembled!
The crimson barrier shattered like glass struck by a boulder, disintegrating into countless cracks amidst the dazzling green light!
The lava runes at the core flickered madly, attempting to repair themselves, but crumbled inch by inch under the BFG's destructive energy flow!
"No!!!"
Mephisto's projection twisted and deformed in the shock, emitting a sharp shriek. The Impact of the barrier's destruction momentarily disrupted the power he had gathered!
Now!
DOOM's figure passed through the aftermath of the explosion and the shattered energy fragments! The [Shotgun] appeared in his hand!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Deafening roars! The specially made slugs were like a roll call from the God of Death!
They accurately struck the lava runes representing energy nodes at the edge of the barrier's breach! Each gunshot was accompanied by the shattering explosion of runes and the collapse of large sections of the barrier!
In the blink of an eye, a massive breach large enough to pass through was violently torn open!
DOOM stepped into the Hell Core Palace!
The sight before him was enough to drive any living being mad.
This was the source of Hell's energy, where countless twisted demonic essences pulsed like blood vessels in the void, converging towards the center—Mephisto's true form!
That was no longer a projection, but a colossal, crimson demonic entity made of pure Hell energy, flowing with magma and bones!
He floated like a heart in the energy vortex before the throne, exuding a suffocating demonic pressure!
"Welcome to… your grave!" Mephisto's voice was like the wailing of billions of lives, making the entire palace tremble.
His massive claws suddenly swung down!
[Hell Nova!] Countless dark-red energy spheres, compressed to the extreme, materialized out of thin air, rapidly covering the entire space!
Each one contained the power to annihilate matter and souls! They sealed off all of DOOM's evasion angles!
A killing blow!
DOOM's pupils under his faceplate suddenly constricted! Without any hesitation!
[Frost Bomb!] He slammed a bomb, emanating chilling cold, onto the ground beneath him!
Buzz—!
A bone-chilling ice-blue Impact instantly erupted! Spreading rapidly, centered on DOOM! Those deadly dark-red energy spheres, upon contact with the ice-blue field, drastically slowed down, their surfaces even crystallizing with dark-red frost!
The otherwise fatal barrage experienced a momentary delay!
[Chainsaw!] The buzzing resumed! DOOM shot out like a cannonball, his target directly Mephisto's true form!
He moved rapidly through the frozen Hell Nova barrage, each movement precise to the millimeter, grazing past the decelerated energy spheres! The Frost Bomb's slowing field tore open a deadly path for him!
"Arrogant!" Mephisto roared! His massive demonic claw, carrying the power to tear dimensions, slammed heavily towards the charging green figure!
Wherever the claw wind passed, abyssal claw marks were left in space!
DOOM did not dodge!
[Blood Punch!] His right fist suddenly erupted with blinding crimson light! That was the furious power absorbed from countless demonic essences! The killing red glow on his armor burned like tangible flames!
Boom—!!!!!!!
The blood-colored fist and the Hellish demonic claw collided fiercely!
A visible ring of energy ripples, mixed with crimson and dark red, exploded violently! The entire palace floor was churned up as if by a giant plow, exploding in layers! The energy turbulence tore the remaining demonic essence conduits to shreds!
A stalemate! A pure, brutal clash of power!
Mephisto's massive demonic claw was actually held back by that iron fist covered in blood-colored energy!
"This… impossible!" For the first time, utter shock appeared in Mephisto's massive eyes! He could feel the power emanating from the other's fist, and it was… increasing every second?!
The Hellish essences that had been torn apart by him and transformed from demons were now turning into wisps of crimson mist, being frantically absorbed by DOOM's armor!
"Demons… are just fuel." DOOM's cold voice pierced through the roar of the energy collision.
The next second! Mephisto felt the pressure on his claw suddenly lighten!
DOOM's figure vanished! The roar of the [Super Shotgun] sounded behind him!
Bang! Bang!
Two powerful slugs violently penetrated the energy convergence points on Mephisto's true form's back! Exploding into two massive energy fireworks!
"Ugh ah—!" Mephisto let out a roar of pain and fury! His massive body shook violently!
Opportunity!
DOOM landed, instantly switching weapons! A ferocious greatsword, burning with Hellfire and with a blade like a giant saw, appeared in his hand—the [Crucible]!
"End." A cold judgment.
DOOM leaped high, gripping the Crucible's hilt with both hands! The Hellfire on the blade seemed to gain life, roaring and boiling! He transformed into a destructive meteor descending from the sky!
"Delusion!!!" Mephisto felt a fatal threat!
He mobilized all of Hell's primal essence, all the bones, lava, and crimson energy instantly coalescing before his chest into an almost materialized [Hell Core Barrier], like a miniature black hole! That was his strongest defense!
The Crucible descended!
There was no earth-shattering explosion! Only a grating "Sizzle—!" sound, like a hot knife cutting through butter!
The Hellfire burning on the Crucible seemed to be naturally designed to counter Mephisto's energy!
The indestructible [Hell Core Barrier] was pierced through by a single sword stroke, like an illusory bubble before the Crucible's blade!
The blade penetrated the core of Mephisto's true form without any obstruction! That massive, crimson demonic body flowing with magma and bones suddenly stiffened!
The Hellfire on the Crucible, as if finding an outlet, surged violently into Mephisto's body!
"Ugh… wuh…" Mephisto's massive body convulsed violently, his crimson eyes filled with unbelievable horror and… a primal fear of true destruction!
His body, composed of pure Hell energy, began to develop golden cracks rapidly spreading from the core where the Crucible had pierced through, like paper set ablaze! The destructive light of the Crucible shone through the cracks!
DOOM gripped the sword with both hands, pressing down hard! And twisted!
"No— — — — — — — — — —!!!"
Mephisto let out a final shriek that echoed throughout the entire Hell dimension, filled with endless malice and despair!
Boom—!!!!!!!
Golden light of destruction, like the Sun exploding, instantly engulfed the massive demonic body!
Wherever the light reached, crimson energy, pulsing primal blood vessels, remnants of palace walls… everything, everything silently annihilated, disintegrated, turning into dust!
The heart of Hell, pierced by a single sword stroke!
Mephisto's final shriek was like a Death knell, echoing mournfully through every corner of the Hell dimension before being utterly erased by the all-consuming golden light of destruction.
The entire core of Hell fell into an eerie silence at that moment, with only the Sword of Judgment plunged into the scorched void, its golden blade flowing with unextinguished infernal fire, emitting a low hum like a final lament.
Then—
Rumble! ! !
Violent tremors erupted from the deepest parts of Hell! The scarlet lava earth, like a torn scar, spewed forth towering pillars of Fire!
The twisted, pus-oozing clouds in the sky spun wildly, forming a massive vortex, and countless charred skeletons and fragments of shattered souls poured down like a waterfall!
The invisible pillars supporting the dimension groaned under the unbearable strain!
Hell! Having lost its master, having lost the core will that maintained its existence, it was irreversibly collapsing!
This apocalyptic upheaval broke the deathly silence.
Like drops of Water thrown into a boiling oil pot, the entire Hell instantly erupted into chaos!
Countless low-ranking imps, lurking in various corners and trembling under Mephisto's oppressive might, were the first to go mad! They could no longer sense authority; the fear-inducing shackles that once bound them, originating from the Lord of Hell… had vanished!
Only the most primitive bloodlust remained in their scarlet eyes!
They shrieked and pounced on anything moving nearby—their own kind, remains, even rolling lava! Claws tore, acid spewed, and in an instant, countless flowers of flesh and blood bloomed on Hell's scorched earth!
But this was merely an appetizer!
Higher-ranking demon lords roared forth from their respective lairs, shattered fortresses, and even flowing rivers of magma!
Their perception was clearer—the power that permeated the very essence of the entire Hell dimension, symbolizing singular kingship, was now dissipating like ownerless treasure!
"Authority! The authority of Hell!" A Skeleton Tyrant, massive as a mountain and covered in jagged bone spikes, roared to the sky, its thick bone claws easily crushing dozens of frantically biting imps underfoot!
He greedily absorbed the pure demonic energy permeating the air, and beneath his shattered bone armor, scarlet energy veins pulsed madly!
"Mephisto is dead! The strong reign supreme!" On the other side, a Wailer Lord, suspended in mid-air and composed of countless twisted souls of suffering, let out a piercing chorus of billions of souls!
Her power rapidly swelled after absorbing the chaotic soul fragments, and a massive demonic claw, formed of pure suffering energy, fiercely struck the Skeleton Tyrant!
Boom! The energy clash of bone and vengeful souls exploded, unleashing a terrifying Impact that instantly cleared out low-ranking demons and shattered terrain within several kilometers around! The two powerful demon lords instantly plunged into a fight to the Death!
Chaos!
Centered around the collapsed palace ruins at Hell's core, terrifying slaughter spread rapidly like a plague in all directions!
Hell Knight legions clashed with Balrog armies, and the Rotten Legions of Plague Demons encroached upon the Wailer Lords' wailing domains… Every powerful entity was frantically devouring the dimension's primordial energy, attacking any target in sight that might threaten their claim to authority!
Beneath the scarlet sky, a raging tide of blood, Fire, and demonic energy completely engulfed this scorched inferno!
This was the apocalypse, and also a twisted, bloody carnival feast belonging to the demons!
Just at the center of this insane vortex where Hell boiled to its peak—
DOOM pulled out the Sword of Judgment plunged into the scorched earth of Hell's core.
Hum!
The infernal fire on the sword seemed to sense the endless slaughter and chaos around it, burning even more fiercely, even more joyfully!
Beneath his faceplate, cold electronic eyes scanned the sea of demons that had fallen into mad infighting in all directions.
In his vision, the kill counter's value soared wildly like an out-of-control engine tachometer, the scarlet numbers almost overflowing the screen!
The energy dispersed by the Carnage, the chaotic and rampaging primordial essence of the dimension, transformed into a violent scarlet torrent, greedily surging into his armor like never before!
Every inch of his armor hummed, every nerve roared with a craving for destruction!
"Rip and tear…" A low electronic voice sounded beneath his faceplate, hotter than magma, colder than the void.
He moved.
There was no fiery jet for a charge, only heavy steps, walking towards the nearest demon lord battlefield—the Skeleton Tyrant was using its massive bone tail to fiercely swat away the Wailer Lord, who let out a piercing shriek, billions of vengeful souls transforming into blades to counterattack!
DOOM's figure cut between the two!
The shotgun raised!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three specially made slugs slammed into the massive leg bone joints supporting the Skeleton Tyrant's body! The hard bone shattered like rotten wood under the projectile's furious kinetic energy!
"Roar?!" The Skeleton Tyrant's massive body staggered, its offensive instantly interrupted!
At the same time, DOOM's left hand shot out like lightning! The light of the Blood Punch instantly erupted! The giant vengeful soul claw, which had just formed and was reaching for the Skeleton Tyrant, was directly pierced and crushed by the iron fist covered in scarlet energy!
"Human! You seek Death!" The Wailer Lord's billions of voices let out an enraged shriek, and countless soul spikes shot towards DOOM like a downpour!
DOOM didn't even turn around!
The Sword of Judgment was flicked up with a backhand! An arc of fire burning with infernal flames swept out!
Swoosh—!
All soul spikes that touched the sword arc evaporated like melting ice and snow! The sword arc continued unabated, fiercely slicing through the Wailer Lord's massive soul aggregate!
The Wailer Lord's shriek instantly turned into a painful wail, its massive body cleaved open by a huge, burning fiery rift! Countless twisted souls escaped and annihilated from within!
"Roar!" The Skeleton Tyrant seized the opportunity to steady itself, its massive bone claw, carrying the power to crush mountains, slammed towards DOOM's back!
DOOM spun around abruptly! The Shield Saw instantly deployed on his left arm!
Boom!
The bone claw slammed fiercely onto the Shield Saw! The immense force caused the lava ground beneath DOOM's feet to explode and sink! The Shield Saw's surface flashed violently with red light, and cracks spread!
But this time, the Shield Saw did not shatter!
DOOM withstood the immense force, his right hand's Sword of Judgment, like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, plunged from bottom to top, fiercely into the relatively thinly bone-armored abdomen of the Skeleton Tyrant, exposed after its strike!
"Ugh—!" The Skeleton Tyrant let out an earth-shattering roar of pain!
The infernal flames on the Sword of Judgment surged in wildly! Inside the Skeleton Tyrant's massive body, it was as if a furnace had been ignited, blinding golden light radiating from the bone seams!
DOOM suddenly pulled out the sword and leaped back!
Rumble! ! !
The Skeleton Tyrant's massive body, like an ignited barrel of explosives, exploded outwards from within! Countless huge, golden-flame-burning bone fragments flew in all directions like cannonballs, clearing out the battling demons within several hundred meters around! The furious energy torrent was frantically absorbed by his armor!
The Wailer Lord had only just partially repaired her body when she watched the Skeleton Tyrant instantly disintegrate! Fear overwhelmed her greed for authority, and she shrieked, attempting to escape as countless dispersed vengeful souls!
Too late!
The unsettling charging sound of the BFG-9000 resonated again! A ghostly green light illuminated the Wailer Lord's twisted face, composed of suffering souls!
"No—! ! !"
The green light of destruction swallowed all escaping vengeful souls! Along with the Wailer Lord's remaining core, it was completely annihilated!
In a mere few breaths, two powerful demon lords vanished, becoming wildly fluctuating numbers on the kill counter, and also becoming part of the surging power that flowed into DOOM.
DOOM's figure stood amidst the ashes of the explosion and the scattered demon remains, slowly turning his head.
The scarlet electronic eyes on his faceplate locked onto the next target with the strongest energy signature—a massive, erupting lava volcano in the distance, upon which stood a Lava Lord, whose size was almost comparable to Mephisto's true form previously.
He was currently greedily absorbing the infernal energy spewing from the volcano, his heavy footsteps causing minor earthquakes with every step, and his giant arms made of lava were sweeping away a group of Hell Knights attempting to attack him like insects.
DOOM raised the Sword of Judgment, its tip dragging on the lava-scorched earth, carving a path burning with red flames.
"You're huge! That means you have huge guts!"
The slaughter, never-ending.
Hell's apocalyptic carnival was merely the dining table for his gluttonous feast.
The demons' desperate wails were the symphony of his power's ascent.
He began to walk towards the lava giant. With every step, the kill counter's scarlet light grew brighter, and the hum of his armor absorbing energy grew louder.
The entire Hell dimension, plunged into mad civil war, seemed to tremble with his footsteps—the God of Death who ended Mephisto, not only did not leave, but instead began a thorough reckoning of Hell itself!
