Chapter 152 - Chapter 153: Only You and the Void Remain

The giant monster was named Apocalypse Baby, though this fellow didn't look like a baby at all.The moment Xia Yu launched his attack, it also waved its hand and showered down a dark red torrent of souls—magical attacks formed from extremely tormented spirits.However, Xia Yu had no intention of dodging such an attack. This was it? If this could hurt him, he would eat his own weapon on the spot.He wasn't just bluffing; he truly had the strength to back it up.Early on when he first transmigrated, he already knew which world he had arrived in.Facing this world destined for destruction and the Evil God boss that would eventually appear, he could only do his best to increase his strength.At this point, he was hundreds of times stronger than when he first woke up. Saying it was a 70-30 split in his favor was being modest; a 90-10 split was more like it.Of course, now it was naturally a 100-0 split. With his other selves supporting him, even if he went easy, this Apocalypse Baby was still just a baby after all.Facing the torrent of magic, Xia Yu leaped into the air, swinging his halberd to tear through the energy before turning to hack at the incoming skeletal arms.Those seemingly indestructible skeletal arms were once again easily dismembered."Hehehe, you really are strong, but Baby is also very strong!"Apocalypse Baby giggled as it summoned a holy-looking human face. Bloody tears flowed down the face as it opened its mouth as if to chant.A thick darkness and blood aura spread from between its lips, and a breath-like energy laser was instantly spat out, slicing through the blood-saturated air and hurtling toward Xia Yu to annihilate him.Holding his Flaming Halberd in a reverse grip, Xia Yu condensed a light blade and slashed upward fiercely. The blood-aura breath was split in two, leaving a series of explosions on either side of him.The light blade extended further, breaking through the breath and plunging into the holy face, completely shredding it.Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yu swung his halberd and swiftly dismembered Apocalypse Baby's remaining skeletal arms. The cuts were glowing red, clearly preventing any regeneration.Severely wounded, Apocalypse Baby seemed enraged. Its goat-head suddenly split open, and four lasers overflowing with dark aura shot out abruptly.The lasers swept in all directions, shredding and annihilating the hanging boneless arms and the skeletal arms growing from the ground. Meanwhile, fanged maws suddenly grew out of the void, biting at everything in sight.Xia Yu dodged the sneak attack from the Void Fangs. This move was too disgusting and honestly a bit much for him to handle—those big mouths looked very unhygienic. Who knew how many germs he'd catch from a single bite? Though, his zombie body wouldn't allow germs to survive anyway.Against the Void Fangs, Xia Yu pulled out his sidearm, Black Fang.It sounded like a melee weapon, but it was actually a firearm that could spray black flames capable of incinerating any target.It was a bit like Amaterasu, the "kind fire" from Naruto; after all, throughout the series, it seemed only a few White Zetsu were actually burned to death by it.However, the black flames of Black Fang had already burned countless monsters to death in Xia Yu's hands."Bang! Bang! Bang!"Several gunshots rang out in succession. The Void Fangs that were hit instantly ignited with black flames, and under the burning of the black fire, they were forced to close again.But in the next moment, another set of fangs emerged, preparing to ambush Xia Yu from behind.But how could Xia Yu leave such a glaring opening? Through countless battles, he had long since grown accustomed to all sorts of sneak attacks from behind."Bang!"With a single gunshot, the Void Fangs' ambush failed. Xia Yu turned and swept his weapon, tearing the mouth apart.Sensing that the Void Fangs were useless against Xia Yu, Apocalypse Baby stopped using them and instead transformed the four lasers into a cage, closing in on Xia Yu.Every possible escape route in all directions was blocked by the lasers, and endless wails seemed to echo from within them.Apocalypse Baby also spread all its skeletal arms wide, reaching down to embrace Xia Yu below.Against a backdrop of countless deformed arms, the central figure was an Evil God follower with a crimson halo behind its head, arms spread wide as if to embrace the world.The scene actually had a touch of divinity, but it was a divinity steeped in an indescribable, bloody evil.Naturally, Xia Yu felt nothing. Although this made him seem a bit too carefree, his heart didn't even beat anymore, so being "big-hearted" didn't really matter anyway.Swish—!The halberd's light blade extended once more, this time matching Apocalypse Baby's entire height. Its scorching aura instantly broke through the spreading blood aura, making the heavy air feel lighter.The light blade easily tore through Apocalypse Baby's seemingly powerful lasers and continued its momentum to slice through the giant claws attacking him.The scorching light illuminated the entire area, and those bloody arms actually began to melt under the radiance, turning into a pool of blood on the ground.Then, the concentrated energy within the light blade exploded instantly, forming a crimson flame storm that swept through everything nearby. The counter-magic Apocalypse Baby used was easily erased the moment it touched the storm.The storm then suddenly transformed into a tornado that connected heaven and earth, sweeping Apocalypse Baby's entire body into it. Countless crescent-shaped light blades formed within the tornado, shredding everything of Apocalypse Baby as it spun.After the tornado spun for half a minute, the accumulated energy reached its limit. An explosion that echoed through the entire dungeon erupted, and the magnificent crimson flames, carrying a terrifying power, incinerated everything in the vicinity.When the final light faded, the area had been turned into a hollow cavern, leaving only unextinguished flames and a collapsed, shattered stone statue in the center.The moment Apocalypse Baby's life was completely drained, it turned into a stone statue, which then shattered into piles of debris under the aftershocks of the explosion."Haha... haha... you beat me, how impressive..."From the shattered statue, a broken voice sounded; it was the voice of Apocalypse Baby."Just as He said, in this world, in this space-time, nothing can defeat you!""Exactly like Him—immortal, indestructible, and unstoppable!"Xia Yu didn't respond but leaned on his halberd to recover his stamina. The massive outburst just now had left him slightly out of breath.Apocalypse Baby continued talking to itself: "He knows that no matter how powerful the spells used, you cannot be driven out of this dimension. He also knows that you likewise have no means to defeat Him!""But He can, bit by bit, strip away your reasons for staying in this world!""How many more times can Ximi's mind be broken? How much longer can Tangerine's soul keep burning? The people you care about, the people you want to save, will eventually leave you one by one.""We will continue to attack and destroy for Him, until in the entire world, only you and the void remain!"Apocalypse Baby's voice was still continuing when a light blade suddenly struck, tearing through the ground and heading straight for the pile of stone debris before exploding violently.This time, the pile of stone fragments was completely pulverized into dust, and not a single sound was heard again.Xia Yu snorted at Apocalypse Baby's discouraging words. Just talking big—who couldn't do that?However, since the opponent was now dead, there was no point in trash-talking thin air. He didn't linger and left the area with a few leaps through the air.
