"Y-You..." Magna shuddered at the sight of Remuel in full ascension. "So it is true that the [Gods of Infinite Space] are here..." Magna stepped back as he watched Remuel brandish his scythe in preparation. He himself prepared his own weapon which is a lance that is burning brightly.
"Seems like you yourself are prepared." Remuel formed a stance with his scythe as he oozes out divine flames. He then dashed forward at incomprehensible speeds and instantly appeared right in front of Manga while swinging his scythe. Magna widened his eyes in shock to the sudden boost of power Remuel had. But after realizing the state he's in, he smiled in expectation.
"Guh!!" Barely blocking the scythe from slicing him in half, Manga kicked forward to disarrange Remuel's stance. "I've always wanted to face a god!" Magna distanced himself and dropped down multiple burning tridents towards Remuel coming from all directions.
Remuel easily cleaned off all the projectiles inbound and twisted his hand while making gestures. Magna quickly got the idea of Remuel's action and teleported to a distance behind him. Divine chains appeared around the area where he teleported away from, binding nothing but air. "If I present-!" Magna closed the distance and tried to overwhelm Remuel by attacking him while launching attacks in all directions at point-blank range. "Your head to our God!" With a lot of efforts poured into overwhelming him, not even a single hit was able to land.
Taking a small opportunity, Remuel managed to grab Magna's arm and struck him with his palm right in the chest. It was the he distanced himself while preparing for another attack. "Guh..." Magna panted, while looking up at Remuel and trying to repair his ribcage with magic. "Our god would be pleased." Magna instantly disappeared from Remuel's sight and appeared right beside him. He thrust his lance to try and pierce through his side but the attack was easily diverted by the scythe.
"I knew it." Magna huffed, committing to his attack and swung himself to his back with his lance. "You are strong enough to fight the [Prime Existence]." Magna thrust his lance forward once again which made Remuel fly up to avoid it. He then scattered blood down which temporarily blinded Magna. "Tch! To be this persistent!" With nothing but frustration, Magna swung his lance while engulfing the scattered blood with dark fire. Revealing Remuel with a gigantic magic circle right behind him. "[Amalgam of Destiny]." A powerful, pressuring voice prevented Magna from moving as Remuel uttered the name of his artifact. "[In this Crimson World, I present the finale of chaos], [Amalgam of Apocalypse]." With those words, Magna felt his chest suddenly transmit grave pain. He tried to launch counterattacks towards Remuel but none of his attacks could even come close to him as they disperse at a certain range. His chest burst open and rays of light gushed out as they were absorbed by the magic circle. behind Remuel. His blood and magic were draining at a rapid rate. "Tch! It's come to this! [Nightmare Fanta]-!" Before he could finish his chant, Remuel threw a trident straight towards Magna's mouth, piercing through the bridge of his nose, his mouth, and his throat.
After a few more seconds of draining Magna's blood and magic, a burning lotus is formed right from where Remuel struck Magna with his palm. "[Amalgam of Destiny], [In this Crimson World, I present the finale of order], [Amalgam of Concealment]." The burning lotus quickly enveloped Magna and slowly melt his body. Remuel made sure that regeneration was impossible as he used black fire for the burning lotus.
Remuel sighed in relief. Before he deactivated his ascension to godhood, he used a certain ability to prevent any deadly compensations. "[Revitalized Transfusion]". All the scattered blood from the use of [Crimson World], was quickly absorbed. He only managed to recover half of the blood he lost from the use of [Deal with the Devil].
[Deal with the Devil] allows Remuel to activate high-end skills at the direct cost of his blood. His activation of godhood has a relation to it to prevent any further compensations. [Crimson World] scatters his blood completely which makes him fight with nothing but guts and soul, but he slowly re-accumulates it all at a rapid rate, allowing constant usage of [Crimson World]. He was able to fight after using it because of godhood and divinity, preventing him from any form of death. There were more skills hidden in the arsenal of [Deal with the Devil] but Remuel refused to use them as of the moment.
"Haaah..." He sighed once again as he finally deactivates his ascension. He had lost about one-fourth of his blood which caused him to look more pale. He looked around and noticed that the [Imaginary World] is finally starting to disappear. He thought that Magna will still be alive despite the damage done to him. "It's only an imaginary space, so he's likely alive somewhere in this world..." He then finally woke up in his room.
"Shit..." Remuel looked around after waking up, his complexion was pale as white as he lacked blood. The blood he lost was scattered all over the room in the range of his explosive scatter of [Crimson World]. His body had fully closed up all injuries but it was still a sight that one shouldn't look.
He noticed that two maids had passed out right outside his room. He woken up right after the two maids screamed in horror and lost consciousness. Before long, Bethany arrived to the scene along with two guards. She covered her mouth as she went pale over the sight of the room being drenched in blood with Remuel sitting up on his bed. "What happened here?! An attack?!" Remuel jumped off the bed and started stretching.
"My bad." Groaning as he stretched. "This will be very hard to explain, so let's ask the king for permission to go back to Preeliance in an emergency." Remuel activated his [Revitalized Transfusion] to absorb the blood once again. His complexion was fixed as he made a full recovery. He asked one of the guards to quickly report to the king his findings and send a letter for an emergency recall to Preeliance.

Somewhere, over the far lands a demon sat down on his throne with his body charred red and black all over. "That god!" He smashed the floor with his foot as he shouted in frustration. "To be able to get me to this state through the dream. I'll show him." He glared at one of the retainers who were standing right front of him. "Send a letter to Cronus! I need to report this to our God." The retainer flinched and stood straight before responding. "R-Right away!" He then blitzed out of the room and started writing a letter.
"I am equal to Cronus in power, but it seems like it's not enough for us apostles to fight one of those gods alone. It'd be bad if they managed to fully re-ascend. We need to get rid of them soon." The devil, or Magna himself stood up and pointed to one of the retainers. "Hey you. Quickly summon one of the [Lords] to heal me." The retainer quickly left the room to find one of the seven lords.
"I sent the lord of Envy and the lord of Greed to investigate the central continent. I wonder how it's going for them? They're frustrated at their first battle in centuries after all." His monologue wasn't audible for anyone else in the room, but he narrowed his eyes to prepare himself.
"Remuel Baphomet huh...? I'll see you once again soon enough."
