Chapter 158 - Demons, Witches, and Dimensional Demons

Dark Dimension.

This was supposed to be the ultimate void that devours all light, Dormammu's domain from which he overlooked reality.

But now, this pure darkness was like a smashed glass, filled with shocking spatial cracks! Violent energy currents, like out-of-control pythons, crashed and tore wildly between the shattered dimensional fragments!

The culprits behind all this were, in their arrogant stances, wantonly displaying their destructive "talents" in this territory that should have belonged to the King of Darkness!

Clang—!

A quietblue blade light, like a cold new moon piercing the eternal night, instantly swept thousands of kilometers!

Along the way, dense, twisted monsters formed from darkness, along with several floating dark fortresses, were silently split in two! The cuts were as smooth as a mirror!

Vergil sheathed his Yamato, the hilt striking the end of the scabbard with a clear, crisp sound.

He stood on a floating giant dimensional fragment, his White hair unmoving in the energy currents, his eyes coldly sweeping over the dark creations still slowly wriggling and attempting to reorganize in front of him, as if disdaining their slow regeneration speed.

Boom!!!

On the other side, it was pure violent aesthetics!

Dante's figure was like a burning crimson meteor, crashing through the dense forest of countless giant dark tentacles and grotesque monsters!

He didn't even look at his targets; Rebellion and Ebony & Ivory in his hands transformed into the wildest symphony! Dazzling gunfire wove into a Death barrage, and every heavy swing of the greatsword was accompanied by monsters' limbs flying and the explosive roar of dark matter!

It was less like a battle and more like bowling with dark creations!

"Woohoo!! That's right! The one on the left that looks like a toilet plunger! Yes, yes! You! Take this 'Toilet Plunger Finisher'!" Dante yelled, swinging Rebellion in a full circle and smashing that twisted dark matter, along with the floating platform beneath his feet, into smithereens!

He soared up, stepping on the falling debris, and casually blew an exaggerated flying kiss towards a giant eyeball-shaped fortress in the distant Shadow, followed by a dense burst of demonic explosive bullets from his twin pistols!

Bayonetta, the elegant Witch, seemed to be on her own exclusive stage.

Her high heels clicked in the void, each turn creating dazzling afterimages. Her slender fingers elegantly beckoned, and the colossal Madame Butterfly familiar manifested its outline behind her; every wave of her hand and step unleashed giant magical claw attacks that tore through space! Those slimy dark stealthers attempting to ambush her were bound by her long whip, swung like a discus, and hurled towards the disgusting fleshy mountain of wriggling darkness in the distance, emitting a dull splattering sound.

She even had time to take out a vintage compact mirror and adjust her sideburns using the light refracted by the shattered Dimension.

The actions of the three deities completely exceeded the understanding of the Dark Dimension's lower-level creations!

They couldn't even form an effective encirclement! The entire Dimension was groaning and shattering under their "activity"!

Deep within the Dimension's core, in the most viscous and pure darkness, Dormammu's massive consciousness roared, twisted, and trembled madly! Not from anger, but from humiliation! It was a deep-seated fear and PTSD!

When Mephisto opened the gates of Hell, Nightmare controlled Red Hulk, and Sisyphus used Mordo to stir up trouble, intending to exhaust the entire Planet's defense forces, Dormammu was indeed overjoyed!

An opportunity! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as his true body descended briefly, using the power of the Dark Dimension to forcibly devour the Earth, who could stop him?!

He immediately stopped changing coordinates, firmly anchoring the Dark Dimension's core just outside the Earth's orbit! Vast dark power began to cross the dimensional barrier, greedily reaching out to that blue Planet!

The moment he extended his tentacles—

"Warning! Warning! High-dimensional interference field has breached the outer barrier! Coordinates locked! Channel forcibly established!" A gloating voice exploded directly in his dimensional core! It was Diablo!

The next second, three terrifying auras that froze Dormammu's soul core, like three scorching meteors, slammed into his Dark Dimension, which he had painstakingly repaired for many years, through the newly established dimensional channel!

"No—!!!" Dormammu's consciousness shrieked silently! It was her! And those two White-haired ones!! And that woman with guns on her feet!!!

Past painful memories burned his consciousness like lava!

Last time, Chen Tian brought these three people plus Diablo into the Dark Dimension; in that battle, nearly half of the Dark Dimension was shattered! Its core was forcibly gouged out! He had barely managed to repair it for a few years, and it was about to recover… and they came again! Again, taking advantage of his weakness!

Shame! Endless shame! Dormammu chose to play dead, frantically shrinking his core, mobilizing all dark creations to fill the void! Using a human wave tactic! Drown them! Exhaust them!

Until that fool Mephisto's distress signal connected, followed by that shout, like a nightmare reborn, tearing through the darkness:

"Hahahahaha! Dormammu! My grand-nephew is busy this time! Just a few of us are here to 'visit' you! Surprised?! Open the door! We're here to be entertained!!"

Dante's shout was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Enough!!!" The entire Dark Dimension suddenly collapsed inward! From all the shattered cracks, boiling black flames, imbued with endless rage and destructive energy, spewed forth!

A head of black mist, the size of the Moon, appeared, the black mist constantly churning, with colorful light surging with each churn—Dormammu.

"Bugs! You damned, persistent bugs!!!" Dormammu's roar unleashed a destructive dark storm, sweeping towards the trio, "Destroying my territory! Ruining my great plans! I will burn your souls in the Dark Fire for billions of years!!!"

Facing this World-ending pressure and roar, the trio's reaction was—

Vergil finally looked directly at Dormammu, his brow subtly furrowing: "Noisy."

Bayonetta put away her small mirror, "Oh? Finally willing to come out and meet guests? I thought you planned to be a coward for life."

Dante, meanwhile, whistled excitedly: "Yo! Old Black! Haven't seen you in a few years, your temper's grown, huh? This welcome ceremony is pretty explosive! Come on, come on, I haven't had enough fun with that toilet plunger-shaped one, but this big one is just right!"

He casually re-sheathed Rebellion behind his back and, with a flourish, pulled out a huge chainsaw that spun with sparks—Heavy Knight - Chainsaw Mode!

"You seek Death!!!"

Dormammu's colossal dark avatar completely erupted in rage! A giant claw, burning with the Fire of Eternal Darkness, descended, covering the sky and Earth, slamming down hard on the trio! Before the claw shadow even arrived, the terrifying gravitational pull had already caused the surrounding dimensional fragments to collapse and annihilate inward!

"Bring it on!" Dante's eyes flared crimson, and the chainsaw in his hand roared deafeningly!

Vergil's hand rested steadily on the hilt of Yamato, cold light faintly visible within the sheath.

Behind Bayonetta, Madame Butterfly's phantom instantly solidified, and her massive magical giant claws surged against the wind!

In the heart of the darkness, a new round of battle officially began!

"Roar!!! Ignorant bugs! Your attacks are merely tickling me!" Dormammu's Moon-sized head, made of swirling black mist and colorful energy, let out a deafening, wild laugh, filled with the arrogance of having survived a disaster. The previous fear was completely replaced by a twisted sense of superiority.

At the center of the battlefield, energy currents raged.

Dante's Pandora's Box transformed into Rocket launcher mode, and wild demonic energy beams slammed into Dormammu's giant "cheek," blasting open a huge hole, but the edges of the hole wriggled frantically, and countless dark tentacles instantly intertwined to fill it, even attempting to devour Dante in return!

He yelled as he sliced through the tentacles with Rebellion, flipping to dodge a sweeping column of dark Fire.

Every tear from Bayonetta's Madame Butterfly's giant claws carried away large swathes of black mist, revealing the surging colorful energy core beneath, but with a flash of the core's light, new black mist surged out like a tide, re-enveloping it.

Her magical bullets precisely struck Dormammu's eye positions, erupting in brilliant magical sparks, but only managed to temporarily dim those crimson energy eyes, which then lit up with even more ferocious light.

The only thing that could make Dormammu's movements slightly sluggish was Vergil's elusive [Dimension Slash]!

The quietblue blade light seemed to ignore spatial distance, suddenly appearing in Dormammu's core area, cutting and separating large swathes of black mist along with the colorful energy beneath!

Dormammu let out a pained grunt; the severed area, like boiling lava, healed significantly slower.

"Do you see?! Your power is insignificant before the Eternal Dark Dimension!" Dormammu's roar carried endless mockery, and his eyes on the giant black mist head showed naked derision.

"Last time there was that monster Chen Tian, this time, you three can't even leave a deep scar on me! Go back to your World and linger on! Darkness will eventually devour everything!"

Boom!

The trio once again combined their efforts to temporarily force back the surging dark tide, using the momentum to drift backward, landing on the same relatively stable dimensional fragment.

Dante landed, hardly believing his ears.

He pointed at his own nose, then at the arrogant giant face in the distance, his expression exaggerated to the point of distortion: "Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear that? That black lump is mocking us? Vergil! Grand-nephew's wife! He! Is! Mocking! Us!"

Vergil didn't respond. He simply slowly straightened his body, his right hand still steadily resting on the Yamato's hilt, and in the depths of his ice-blue pupils, a deep, quietblue demonic flame, with a "poof," ignited!

The flames instantly engulfed his entire body! His White hair danced wildly, and cold demonic patterns spread across his cheeks and exposed skin! The surrounding space began to twist!

[Demon Transformation - Vergil]!

"Hmph!" Seeing his older brother's stance, Dante's exaggerated expression instantly switched to an extremely excited, mischievous grin, his eyes flaring crimson, "Alright, alright! Old Black, you asked for it! I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Boom!

Crimson, blood-red, violent demonic flames shot up from his body! Rebellion hummed and vibrated, its blade entwined with solidified Hellfire! Muscles bulged, demonic horns pierced his White hair, and his wild Demon Transformation stance was fully revealed!

[True Demon - Dante]!

Two completely different but equally terrifying demonic pressures erupted, instantly forcing back the surrounding violent dark energy currents by several points!

"Oh dear…" Bayonetta sighed helplessly, looking at the two brothers who had instantly transformed into non-human entities beside her, spreading her hands with a lazy complaint in her tone, "Honestly… you can both transform into handsome and powerful true Devil forms… so what about me?"

She extended a slender finger and gently pushed the iconic vintage round-rimmed glasses on her nose, her red lips curving into a captivating, charming arc.

"Ah~~ that's right~" Her voice drawled, with a playful tone of sudden realization, "I seem to… have a little trump card too~"

No sooner had she spoken!

Click.

She gently took off her glasses, casually tossing them into the spatial ripple beside her, where they vanished.

Hum—!

An ancient, grander, and more heart-pounding demonic aura, far surpassing Madame Butterfly's, erupted from Bayonetta's sexy body like a fierce beast awakening from billions of years of slumber!

Her dark long hair moved without wind, growing wildly, dancing like living darkness!

Purple-gold demonic patterns flowed through her hair, spreading mysterious and powerful runes across her fair skin! Her pupils turned into the color of pure, burning molten gold!

Behind her, Madame Butterfly's phantom instantly solidified, expanded, and transformed! No longer an elegant summon, but a towering, time-and-space-controlling [Eye of the World - Bayonetta's True Demonic Body]!

A terrifying pressure, no less than that of the Demon brothers, joined the battlefield!

"WoooooHooooo!!!" True Demon Dante let out a battle cry that shattered the void, taking the lead as a crimson comet tearing through the darkness! Rebellion was no longer a sword, but a burning meteor! With the violent power to crush stars, it slammed down directly onto Dormammu's giant eyeball! "Old Black! Taste this! Royal Guard - Explosive Punch!"

Boom—!!!!

The entire Dark Dimension suddenly sank! Dormammu's "head" made of black mist was forcibly smashed backward, and countless colorful energies exploded like shattered glass!

His newly condensed counterattack Dark Fire Pillar was directly scattered by the demonic flames burning on Dante's body!

"Die." Vergil's figure teleported, appearing at the "back of the neck" of Dormammu.

His Demon Transformation Yamato's blade flowed with a chilling blue light that froze space and time.

Dimensional Slash - Absolute!

An extremely condensed cold light that tore through the essence of dimension flashed and disappeared!

Tear—!!!

Dormammu let out an Earth-shattering wail!

His "neck" area, composed of pure energy, was forcibly cut open by an enormous spatial rift, its edges burning with an eerie blue ice flame!

The rift spread wildly, devouring the black mist and colorful energy that made up his body!

Healing became extremely slow and painful!

"You're still far from it, ugly creator." Bayonetta's clear, demonic voice rang out.

She floated in the void, like a queen of the demon realm.

With an elegant wave of her slender hand!

The towering World of Eye demonic body behind her simultaneously swung its claw!

A giant purple-gold claw, entwined with time chains and inscribed with ancient demonic runes, ignored spatial distance and fiercely plunged into the interior of Dormammu's wound, torn open by Vergil!

Its target was the constantly swirling and pulsating colorful energy vortex, representing his life core!

"No—!!!" Dormammu felt an unprecedented fatal threat!

That was a power that could directly tear apart his origin!

He desperately mobilized the power of the entire Dark Dimension to try and stop it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dante's wild slashes! Vergil's phantom-like Dimension Slashes! Bayonetta's fatal tearing with her primal demonic claw!

The three ultimate Demon/Witch, at full power, were like three of the most violent demolition machines, launching a relentless saturation bombardment around Dormammu's core!

The darkness was disintegrating!

The dimension was wailing!

Dormammu's wild laughter had long turned into desperate howls and painful roars!

His massive energy body was riddled with holes, and each healing became incredibly difficult!

The colorful energy forming his core vibrated violently, its light visibly dimming!

"Your power is too weak." Vergil's cold voice penetrated the chaotic battlefield.

He tightly gripped his Demon Transformation Yamato, the blade tip pointing directly at Dormammu's core, and the spatial ripples on the blade vibrated intensely, as if to suck the entire dimension into it!

Dimensional Slash - Judgment!

Boom—!!!

Vergil's Dimensional Slash - Judgment was unleashed first!

Where the blade tip pointed, a large area of Dormammu's chest, along with the colorful energy core beneath it, was silently and forcibly peeled away, compressed, and twisted into a dimensional rift!

A massive void, its edges flickering with eerie blue arcs and its interior pure nothingness, suddenly appeared!

Dormammu's wail almost tore the entire dimension apart!

"Now! Taste this big one!" True Demon Dante roared, his Rebellion humming and trembling in his hand, its blade transforming drastically under the infusion of furious demonic energy!

Countless demonic runes lit up on the sword's spine, the blade surged, and the hellfire entwined around it condensed into a tangible, pitch-black demonic flame!

The god-slaying sword—Devil Sword Dante!

Dante poured his power into it, his body stretching into a straight red-black comet, the Devil Sword dragging a trail of destruction as it fiercely plunged into the dimensional void cut by Vergil!

Pfft—!!!

The Devil Sword precisely pierced the frantically pulsating, exposed colorful energy core deep within the void!

Violent demonic energy, like a red-hot steel needle, pierced in, frantically tearing and polluting Dormammu's life essence!

"Let's end this disgusting farce." Bayonetta's cool voice sounded.

The World of Eye demonic body behind her brought its hands together, and countless purple-gold ancient demonic runes flowed and converged between its palms!

A miniature cosmic singularity, seemingly containing the end of time and the return of all things to nothingness, instantly formed in her palm!

She gently pushed this "Endless Demonic Bullet," which exuded an aura of annihilation, forward.

The demonic bullet ignored distance, appearing directly at the core where the Devil Sword had pierced, and merged into it!

The next moment—

Buzz!!!!

Indescribable light and heat erupted!

The entire spatial node was completely erased!

Vergil's dimensional void, along with the core inside, was annihilated by Bayonetta's power of the end, returning to absolute "nothingness"!

A spherical destruction zone of absolute darkness, where even light could not escape, rapidly expanded in its place!

"No—!!!!!!!!"

Dormammu let out a roar that surpassed the limits of pain and anger, containing the lament of the entire Dark Dimension!

He could feel that his most important original core… had been completely destroyed!

Despair and madness completely swallowed his last shred of sanity!

His massive black mist head disintegrated and dimmed at a visible speed!

"Bugs!!! Even if I'm annihilated! I'll drag you all down with me!!!!" Dormammu's desperate shriek shook the void!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Dark Dimension let out a terrifying wail!

Countless massive cracks spanning the void instantly filled the sight!

The ground collapsed! The sky shattered!

The invisible chains of rules that maintained the dimension's existence snapped inch by inch!

Every particle, every inch of energy that made up the Dark Dimension, was forcibly ignited and detonated by Dormammu with his last will!

This was the ultimate self-destruction, a mutual annihilation!

He wanted to drag the entire dimension, along with everything within it, into the abyss of eternal oblivion!

Darkness itself was boiling, burning, and screaming with destruction!

Infinite destructive energy erupted simultaneously, gushing from the deepest, most minute parts of the dimension, indiscriminately tearing and devouring everything!

Spatial fragments were crushed into dust like broken glass!

Time itself became chaotic here!

The ultimate demonic bodies of the three also vibrated violently like reefs in a raging storm under the impact of this World-destroying dimensional self-detonation!

Energy shields flickered wildly, demonic flames were suppressed, and even the edges of their original demonic bodies began to show subtle ethereal cracks.

Bayonetta's long hair demonic patterns fluctuated violently, Vergil's eerie blue demonic flames flickered erratically, and the hellfire on Dante's body was impacted, causing it to flicker on and off!

The energy barrier they jointly propped up groaned under the power of absolute dimensional annihilation!

This was a destructive torrent of pure power!

However, whether it was Vergil's cold focus, Dante's wild roar, or the molten gold fire burning in Bayonetta's demonic pupils, there was no hint of retreat!

The three forces converged as never before, like three heaven-supporting pillars, firmly rooted in the center of that destructive wave!

Standoff! A terrifying standoff!

The energy of dimensional annihilation and the power of the three ultimate Demon clashed and annihilated each other wildly!

The Dark Dimension was like a balloon blown to its limit, struggling madly on the verge of complete shattering!

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, a silent roar, exceeding all decibel limits, swept through the entire Dark Dimension!

It was the Death knell of rules completely collapsing!

The vision was dominated by absolute incandescence, followed by darkness that devoured everything!

When the dazzling light and violent energy turbulence finally began to weaken and subside—

Where Dormammu had been, only an immense, constantly writhing and expanding absolute void remained, exuding a chilling stillness.

The scorched Earth, shattered sky, and twisted architecture that made up the Dark Dimension… everything had disappeared, turning into fragments floating in the void, emitting a faint, dim colorful glow…

Large and small, of various shapes, like cosmic dust.

Those were the remnants of the Dark Dimension's authority after it shattered!

Without the support of its core will and power source, the Dark Dimension completely disintegrated, and its authority also shattered into countless pieces!

Almost at the same instant, the demonic flames on Vergil, Dante, and Bayonetta suddenly receded, and their massive demonic forms ebbed like a tide.

White hair returned to its smoothness, glasses were put back on, and the three landed steadily on a relatively stable large colorful fragment, resuming their human forms.

Dante gasped heavily, wiping away non-existent sweat, and looked at the floating authority fragments and the huge void before him, utterly bewildered: "Phew… phew… Done? Old Black's dead? Why does it feel… like a popped fart? No grand spectacle of a true god falling?"

Vergil frowned, his pupils sharply scanning the void and the surrounding floating authority fragments, his right hand subconsciously returning to the hilt of Yamato, "Something's not right. The lingering aura… doesn't have the sense of complete demise."

Bayonetta elegantly tidied her sideburns, put her glasses back on, and cast her gaze into the depths of the void, where a faint, extremely subtle trace of spatial disturbance seemed to linger.

Her red lips parted slightly, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness and certainty: "He's not dead, darlings. That poor Dormammu… seems to have run away."

"Run… run away?!" Dante's eyes almost popped out, pointing at the void and the sky full of authority fragments, "What the hell are you talking about?! We almost blasted him to bits! He even abandoned his home? His authority shattered into eight million pieces! He can still run?!"

He simply couldn't understand what kind of immense will to survive (or rather, how deep a fear) it would take to pull off such a desperate act of self-mutilation (or dimension-mutilation)?

Vergil ignored Dante's exclamations.

His gaze was fixed on a barely perceptible spatial aftershock at the edge of the void, one that did not belong to the Dark Dimension.

The fluctuation was extremely faint, carrying a sense of… forced traction.

He slowly shook his head, uttering his judgment decisively: "He didn't run away on his own. The lingering traces… are like he was forcibly dragged away by an external force."

"He was rescued?!" Dante's expression completely collapsed, as he scratched his messy white hair, feeling his brain capacity wasn't enough, "Who the hell could rescue such a massive dark coal ball from under our noses, amidst the chaos of a dimensional self-detonation? Does Old Black have such life-and-Death friendships out there? Why didn't I know?!"

Bayonetta's gaze swept over the authority fragments that were already stirring, being frantically snatched and devoured by countless dark creations emerging from spatial rifts: "Interesting. It seems this party has 'enthusiastic spectators' we didn't know about. But…"

She spread her hands, "At least in the short term, this Lord of Darkness won't have time to bother Earth. As for these 'little snacks'…"

Before she finished speaking, Vergil's Yamato flashed, and a fist-sized core authority fragment, exuding a strong dark aura, was precisely flicked over by him.

Bayonetta smiled slightly, her long hair coiling like a snake, easily taking it into her hand to play with.

"Authority fragments, an appetizer for civil war." Vergil coldly glanced at the chaotic, fighting, and even devouring each other over the fragments below, his tone devoid of any ripple.

Although the Dark Dimension had disintegrated, the chaos here had only just begun.

"Alright, alright," Dante also casually used Rebellion to swat away a few low-level fragments that rushed towards them, attracting a swarm of grotesque creatures to scramble for them, then clapped his hands, "The show's over, the fight was fun, Old Black running away is a bit disappointing… Let's go! Let's go back to my nephew! This crappy place doesn't even have a place to eat pizza!"

The three figures no longer lingered in this bloody battlefield of authority struggle, turning to tear open a spatial rift and disappearing into the ravaged ruins of the Dark Dimension.

Only countless roaring grotesque creatures remained, amidst the shattered authority fragments, beginning a new, more brutal feast.

And Dormammu's whereabouts, as well as that mysterious "helper," became a shadow hanging over the chaos.
