SPLASH!

The Split souls were suddenly counterattacked by Bestellen, who began to employ the power of the Divinities he possessed, the ones he had stolen from his siblings and assimilated from the Gods it fused with or forcefully devoured!

All of its water-related divinities condensed together, generating an enormous concentration of salty oceanic water that compressed itself at immense pressures, flashing like a beam of blue light towards the split souls!

Ervas and Veronica quickly began to gather their power, as Ervas used his God of Psychokinesis Skill and fused it with Void Magic and No-Attribute Magic, alongside Veronica's Chaos Magic and Death Magic to generate an ultimate Divine Spell!

"All-Absorbing Barrier!"

BOOOM!!!

The enormous invisible barrier was erected a second before the impact, as the high-pressure beam of water-attribute divinities clashed against it!

The powerful barrier had the effect of partially negating attributes by slowly eroding them through the power of Chaos, while Void absorbed the energy of the beam, Divine Psychokinesis held it all together and Death "killed" attribute particles charged into the impact!

However, Bestellen began to pour all of his divine soul into the beam, knowing that they would be greatly injured if they were to receive it head-on!

But the split souls were not willing to paly with the idiot's plans, as they quickly sneaked out, leaving the immense barrier erected in midair by infusing runes into it and sticking it to the spatial layers, leaving a doppelganger there pretending to be them, as the split souls used Presence Concealment Skill, the Negate Presence Void Attribute Spell, the Odorless Wind Attribute Spell, the Heatless Fire Attribute Spell, and the Illusion and Dream Magic to make their appearance even more invisible, while the doppelganger became even more realistic!

Veronica used her Mining Skill to quickly dig through the ground as they dived underground, reaching behind Bestellen as the split souls quickly realized that they had to first devour a few things to gain some more power!

"GRAAAAAH! DIEEEE! I KILLED YOU ALREADY! DIEEE!" roared Bestellen, foolishly attacking the barrier and the illusion of the split souls as the split souls used their power and incredible speed to flash towards their prey!

Indeed, they were now even more malicious than before, even if they had not come before their path nor they had annoyed them, they were too much of a juicy snack to pass on!

Liam and his enslaved heroes and demon gods were already a kilometer away from Bestellen, yet he could still see his enormous titanic body fighting against the alien entity, gritting his teeth that he wasn't strong enough to kill them both or enslave them!

"Could that really be… Veronica? There's no way…" muttered Gabriel at the side of Liam, as he was brainwashed and enslaved, yet he still held his same personality and thoughts, and also his memories so he couldn't believe Liam's previous words.

"I don't know if it is or not… but to think that such a being could be that Demon Queen all of you killed so long ago… Well, it seems concentrated into killing Bestellen… We might have to bet everything on her… But don't worry, whenever she finally manages to defeat him, it will be weakened, and that's where we'll strike! I will tame her and make this monstrous being my pet!" laughed Liam, he still held within him the desire to tame entities such as these, in the hypothetical case where she was to win, he would quickly try to take over her as she was weakened after such an intense fight.

"Oh? Is that so? I never thought you would become this sick of a guy, Liam, I remember you being a rather shy guy back then. Well, I really don't like to talk about those times as everything is quite different now… Way different…"

The voice of a woman suddenly startled everyone, even the Demon Gods, as the earth beneath the feet of everyone began to tremble and abyssal darkness and bright yellow light suddenly emerged from it, like gigantic and abyssal tentacles, quickly grabbing various heroes and demon gods!

"Nngh?! What is this?!"

"GRAAAAAARRGHHH…!"

"Liam-samaaaaa!"

"Help!"

The heroes and demon gods felt like their life was being drained the second they were touched by these tentacles, as the abyssal power within them began to consume them!

Liam realized way too late that Veronica was the one to speak to him, as he saw with horror as his army was being eaten alive!

The entire earth trembled as it opened wide, a gigantic crater opened as enormous abyssal jaws emerged, showing a deep black void within it!

"I need as much power as possible… I hate to be a ruthless and evil person, but I never considered myself someone good either!" laughed Veronica.

Liam saw as dozens fell before her maws, being triturated into pulp as their souls were crushed and shattered, all eaten!

The Heroes and Demon Gods employed their abilities ad divinities, but it was all useless against this immense power, the same power that was able to damage Bestellen, they were completely hopeless!

"T-This can't be! Y-You're really Veronica?!" asked Gabriel in shock, as he and another Hero, Oliver, with the Cheat Ability [Dark Matter], which let him become pure dark matter to float and evade physical attacks carried Liam away.

"We have to escape, my lord!" said Oliver, as he and Gabriel carried Liam through the skies through a bubble of magic, while Gabriel condensed Time Magic and threw Time Bullets, which slowed down an enemy!

However, his Time Bullets were useless!

He expanded his time domain and tried to slow down time and make it faster for them, but Ervas and Veronica's onslaught continued, they surged from the underground like a gigantic worm, taking the shape of Nidhogg by fusing with its soul, the split souls rushed towards Gabriel, absorbing his measly cheat ability made by the one they already ate!

"No…! I was meant to conquer this world! To dominate it with my cheat ability…! Stop! Don't eat me! I can… become your ally! Let me tame Bestellen!" cried Liam, as the gigantic abyssal maws approached quickly!

"No thanks, with this is enough for us, Liam!"

The cries of agony of all the heroes and demon gods were brief, as the split souls overwhelming strength made quick work of all of them…
