Miko stood across from Sebas who looked like he was ready to go, with a smile on his face.

He glanced at the suitcase in his hand and sighed.

“So it came down this, huh? Don’t you people have anything other than the Zodiac Suit? I’ve already defeated them twice, even I would get bored you know.”

“Don’t worry, this will be the last time you’ll ever see one!”

Sebas immediately released the chains on the case and allowed the suit to wrap around his body.

However to Miko’s surprise he didn’t stop there. The suit started to turn a bloody red as it seeped into Sebas’ skin.

“He activated its berserker mode from the get go?”

Miko who was disappointed before started to show interest again.

The Zodiac Suit by itself wasn’t anything special in his eyes, well at least the model that was in the city, but its Blood Overdrive was the strongest thing Miko has faced from arriving here.

Calling it a warm up wasn’t the right term anymore.

This was a battle, and the first of many for Miko during this war.

He watched as Sebas slender body grew extremely muscular and his skin turn red. He grew two bull horns that gave off a dark haze.

He had transformed from a human into a monster.

“Motherfucker looks like Hellboy.”

Said Miko.

“Die!”

*Boom!*

Sebas explosively kicked off the ground and immediately appeared in front of Miko.

He threw a punch at Miko’s, which Miko lifted his arm to block.

*Boom!*

“Ugh?!”

Miko was sent flying with his arms bent in an unnatural manner.

*Boom!*

He crashed into a building and caused it to crumble on top of him.

*Boom!*

The debris was blown away and Miko crawled out from under the rubble.

“Damn. That was at least three times stronger than when I faced Carter or Flow.”

Miko swung his arms and they were forcibly set back in place.

“Looks like this will be fun.”

The moment he said that Miko released his Qi to the max.

His body was surrounded by gold, black, and white auras creating a beautiful scene.

He charged forward and gathered his Qi around his fists and popped up in front of Sebas. He threw a punch, and Sebas countered with one as well.

*Boom!*

Sebas fist instantly crushed Miko’s, however Miko still threw another punch without flinching.

Sebas dodged it and punched Miko in the stomach.

“Guah?!”

Miko eyes were forcibly rolled over because of how heavy the punch was.

Sebas tried to follow up with an uppercut but Miko jumped back before it could hit him.

“Fuck…cough! That was even heavier than before.”

Miko said as he held his stomach.

“You’re better than Flow and Carter when it comes to drawing out the suit’s power.”

Miko praised as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

“Tonight will be a long night so I wanted to preserve as much strength as possible, but it looks like I won’t have that luxury.”

“Shut up and die!”

*Boom!*

Sebas charged towards Miko again intending to crush him.

At that moment Miko’s eyes turned gold and like that of a feline.

The image of a lion faced dragon appeared behind him.

“Gallu, I’m borrowing your power for a bit!”

Miko welcomed Sebas charge with an attack of his own.

*Boom!*

The two collided and immediately started to exchange blows.

The air trembled with every punch that connected with flesh.

Miko released a lion’s roar and his aura suddenly grew stronger.

“Great Dragon’s Roar!”

*Boom!*

Sebas was hit by a burst of golden flames which scorched his body.

Miko followed up with a stomp to his chest.

*Boom!*

Sebas body was blown back a few meters but he didn’t fall.

He released a terrifying roar and his already muscular body grew even larger.

“Fuck, he looks like the red hulk. I didn’t know that he was such a big fan of comics.”

Miko showed a thumbs up.

“Nice cosplay!”

*Boom!*

Sebas replied with a punch to the face.

Miko’s head bent back along with his body, because of the blow.

Miko suddenly sprung up and headbutt Sebas without care for his horns.

“I can feel the hate Sebas! But guess what?”

Miko hit Sebas with a powerful uppercut as the image of Gallu appeared behind him again.

“The feeling's mutual!”

Sebas said nothing as he grabbed Miko by the throat and threw him like a doll.

*Boom!*

Miko crashed through a building before landing back on the streets.

He looked up and saw Sebas falling towards him while aiming a stomp at his head.

*Boom!*

He rolled out of the way and quickly got his feet.

He jumped and kicked Sebas under the chin and caused him to stepped back.

“Great Dragon Fist!”

*Boom!*

Miko’s Fist twisted into Sebas abdominal and caused him to puke up blood.

“Miko!”

*Boom!*

Sebas furiously slammed both fist onto Miko’s back and sent him slamming into ground.

Miko clenched his teeth and hit Sebas with a jumping headbutt.

Miko then grabbed Sebas by the face and slammed his head and body into the asphalt.

“Don’t get cocky, Vermin!”

Miko lifted him by his face and threw him with a spin.

He then drew more power from Gallu before charging forward.

Sebas crashed into a building and was embedded in a wall.

When his vision cleared he saw Miko immediately in front of him.

*Boom!*

Miko clotheslined him through the building with great force.

Sebas body bounced a few times before he immediately sprung to his feet.

Miko sprung towards him, seeing that Sebas grabbed a nearby car with his gigantic hand and hit Miko with it.

Miko was sent flying to the side, Sebas chased him and punched him into the ground.

*Crush!*

“Guaah?!”

Sebas wailed as he felt his fist and wrist getting crushed.

His arm was suddenly pulled and Miko headbutt him. Sebas pulled his head back but Miko once again pulled him in for another headbutt.

Sebas vision blurred and Miko came up on one knee and headbutt him again.

He stood up and grabbed Sebas’, who was on his knees, face and headbutt him with all of his strength.

Miko’s head started bleeding, while Sebas bent back unnaturally and fell on his back.

Miko watched as the suit Sebas was wearing turned into liquid under him. The liquid then started to move towards the suitcase it came from of its own accord.

Miko paid its strange behavior no mind and looked down on Sebas.

“Bastard, for a damn she-male you sure was tough.”

Miko lifted Sebas by the throat as he said so.

He was about to strangle him to death when-

*Boom!*

His arm that was holding Sebas suddenly exploded.

“?!”

This naturally shocked Miko greatly.

He distanced himself from Sebas and saw the spot his standing in explode.

He held what was left of his arm and glared at the person was who walking in his direction.

“I wondered if you were going to show. In fact I always wanted to meet you, but not like this, Bloody Justice.”

Andre Bernard, alias Bloody Justice, stood in front of Miko.

“Heavenly Demon King Miko. I apologize for the rude greeting, but I was in a rush and accidentally blew your arm off.”

Andre said with a casual tone.

“Ah, don’t sweat it.”

Miko’s body released an azure light which mostly focused around his arm.

“Look, its already healed.”

He said as he waved his hand at Andre.

This was Miko’s ability as Tia’s proxy, Primordial Recreation.

This ability allows Miko to reconstruct any part of his body in an instant. However, the price was a few years off his life, which was the reason why Miko barely used it.

Even though he possesses enough life force to live for several thousand years without a problem, Miko still didn’t like the idea of using his lifeforce to heal his wounds.

The current situation however didn’t leave a choice.

“Oh?”

Andre was slightly surprised to see Miko regenerate his arm so quickly, but only a little.

After fighting Jin not many things can shake him to core any more

“May I know the reason why you’re blocking me?”

“A familial request.”

Andre answered.

“I see. Gear sent you.”

Andre didn’t reply.

“You know I’ve never actually met him before. Well I also haven’t met Luna in person but I still blew up her district.”

Miko said with a small laugh.

“I heard. That woman is on my list so I’m bit gracious that you didn’t kill her.”

“Oh, someone else have claimed her head.”

“Is that so?”

The two spoke casually while surrounded by rubble and explosions echoing in the distance.

“So? Did you also come for my head? Considering the things I’ve done it wouldn’t be strange if a vigilante or two wants my head.”

“I do want your head, but unfortunately that time isn’t now. For now I’m going take Sebas Lovefall and leave.”

Andre waved his hand and Sebas body floated off the air and hovered beside him.

“I can’t allow that. You see my fans would be disappointed if I let a Pillar go just because you said so.”

Miko said with a smile.

“Your fans disappointment is of no importance to me.”

“I can say the same about your familial request.”

Miko stretched out his hand.

“Hand over Sebas or die.”

“I refuse to do either .”

“I see.”

Black and white aura started blending together inside Miko’s palm.

“Then die. Fuckoff Blast!”

Miko shot the energy ball at Andre.

*Boom!*

However, both Andre and Sebas disappeared before it reach him.

He reappeared beside Miko swung his arm.

*Boom!*

Miko suddenly felt like his body had imploded as he felt several of his organs burst.

“Cough?!”

He coughed up a large amount of blood and even some lumps of meat.

“Impressive. I actually tried to destroy you just now but your body withstood my ability.”

Andre commented from the side as Miko fell to one knee.

“I guess you’re special just like Jin Mako-”

Andre was unable to finish because his face was suddenly grabbed by Miko’s hand.

“Fucker!”

*Boom!*

Miko immediately slammed his head into the ground so hard it created a crater.

*Boom!*

Miko was forced to let go when he was hit by an invisible force again.

Andre stood up with his head bleeding.

“You scum!”

He immediately flew in a fit of rage.

Just as he was about to charge at Miko, his body came to a halt.

The reason was because Miko’s body rose while surrounded by a crimson aura.

“Damn brat!”

*Boom!*

He took a step forward and the ground started to crack open as crimson aura started seeping from the ground.

“You want to fight, then come! I’ll show you the limit of your ‘Godly power’!”

His demonic aura started thickening and markings started to slowly appear on his face.

“What are you waiting for?! Come puny god!”

“…….”

Andre stood in place and didn’t respond.

Even if he didn’t know Miko, he could tell from his aura that getting into a fight with him would definitely lead to a bloody battle to the death. It was a type of battle that Andre couldn’t take apart of yet.

Ironically, Miko’s anger was what made him regain his cool and remember his purpose.

“Although I would like to stick around and do everything in my power to erase you, I have a debt I need to repay first.”

Before Miko could respond, Andre had already disappeared with Sebas and the Zodiac Suit.

After Andre left Miko started to calm down. He began to check his injures.

“That bastard really did a number on my organs.”

Miko grumbled.

He decided to focus on healing his injuries for now and then rejoin the war.

The war had just started so he couldnt afford to be taken out so early.

After all, there were far more intense battles to come.
