Chereads / THE RETURN OF THE RIGHTFUL RULER / Chapter 42 - Evolution and An Unexpected Encounter

Chapter 42 - Evolution and An Unexpected Encounter

Dante: So you are the skyscraper huh!I hope this battle won't be as boring as the rest.

Dante moves very fast and tries hitting the Skyscraper but it bends space and appears behind Dante. It distorted space that means Dante.... tries turning but he's unable to react in time and is hit with a copy of his own staff. Dante lands on the ground and wipes the blood on his lips. Before moving from the ground at an immense speed and launches a series of attacks on the Skyscraper. At first the skyscraper's reaction time was delayed a bit but as the attack continued, it kept on evolving and adapting to Dante's attacks before hitting him with the same panel of attacks but rather his defied durability and made a clean hit on Dante by manipulating probability itself.

Dante lands on the ground holding his abdomen and coughing blood.

Dante: Damnit not only is it able to manipulate space but it is able to evolve, adapt and manipulate Probability. Am lucky it doesn't have Reality warping abilities.

Dante stands up and focuses his energy in his palm creating a very immense and powerful ball of energy which he throws at the Skyscraper. The attack generates a large explosion which destroyed the entire 50th World and the impact could be felt at the other world's.

Dante thinking he had won let his guard down for a moment before he realised he had been pierced through by a sword. The attack of Dante did zero damage to the Skyscraper as it manipulated space to create a force field around itself. After Dante had brought his guard down the skyscraper created a sword which pierced through Dante.

At this point Dante noticed the Skyscraper has adapted to all his attacks and they could no longer work on it. Plus as the fight continued it kept on copying his skills and grew more intelligent.

Dante: At this rate I might end up losing this battle. I guess there is only one way.

Dante removed five strands of his hair then threw it in the air. The strands of hair transformed into a clone of itself. Dante summoned 1,000 with each Clone possessing 60% of his power. As of now the Skyscraper had been surrounded at all sides by Dante's clones.

Since the Clones had a mind of their own they begun fooling and laughing around before they were all silenced by Dante.

Dante: You ready?

All: Yeah boss whatever you say.

Dante's original attack: Inverted Piercing staff of Heaven. All the Clones shouted the same words before extending their staff at the Skyscraper from all directions. To the observer the Staff seems to invert and bend itself when attacking it's opponent leaving the opponents mind in a state of complete thinking. The attack managed to hit the Skyscraper and obliterate half of its body. After the attack the clones disappeared and Dante fell on his knees after using so much power.

Is it over Dante questioned himself. But the question was soon answered. The Skyscraper begun healing itself. It's form begun to change and evolve. He had evolved into a life form with a face, body, hands and feet. This new form it had a white hair, Red dragon-like eyes, Red Hornes and had a white Coat-like attire.

Dante was so shocked by what he saw and at this moment he experienced something he had not felt in a long time. Fear. The skyscraper begun speaking.

Thank you very much. Because of you I was able to evolve significantly and become far stronger than my previous self. Due to this I shall grant you a peaceful death out of respect.

Dante tried to attack the Skyscraper but he was hit with an energy projectile from the Skyscraper's finger. The energy blast pierced through his Dragon armour and destroyed his heart and core therefore killing him.

Dante: What's this feeling? Is like am hot but at the same time extremely cold. I can't move my body or feel anything. Is this Death? So even after reincarnating I still wasn't able to have my revenge.

As Dante kept on seeing his life flash before his eyes, he saw all the people and friends he had made in his new and past life standing Infront of him. Then out of all the people one of them approached him and extended his hands towards him. The man's face could not be seen clearly.

Is not over yet stand up and fight said the man as he extended his hands towards Dante. Dante laughed at himself for being such a fool and giving up hope. He accepts the man's hands and then....

Moments before Dante's evolution.

Skyscraper: Hmmm now should I go and kill all those losers at the other world's after all my shackles have been Broken. Let me l....

As the Skyscraper was about to leave there was a sudden burst of light which could be seen at all the world's in the Third Dimension.

Chronos: So he finally evolved huh.

Freed from the final shackles of Humanity, Death, weaknesses and limitations Dante had now been reborn anew. He had become a true God. A God without any limitations. A God that could continue becoming stronger and evolving without end. Out of the bright burst of energy/light emerged this being. Indra the God of Power and Strength.

Indra's new resurrection and power vibrated through the entire third dimension creating ripples in time and Space. Chronos tried to stop the impending Chaos with his power but even he couldn't do all that by himself.

Dante: I see everything now the Universes, Timelines, dimensions, all the knowledge,flow of energy and everything that exist is like I have become it. so this is my true self.

Dante gives out a sigh and moved his hands reversing the damage of the third Dimension and bringing it back to it's original state.

Skyscraper: How is this possible. He just re-wrote reality itself with a swing of his arm. Not only that did he just recreate and heal the entire third dimension with just that swing.

Dante: You are right. I Reversed and re-created everything again but even still this power puts me on the same level if not below the Order of Gods and some few other being. Now then is your turn

Dante extends his palm at The Skyscraper before uttering the words "Hum". The energy wave from his palm blew a hole in the Skyscraper's heart. But he heals it quickly and Begins to fight Dante. The impact from their punched and attacks sent shockwaves throughout the entire third dimension.

It was even described by Chronos that even though the fight could potentially destroy the entire third dimension it was such a beautiful scene to witness as they Created such beautiful flashes of light when their attacks collided.

The Skyscraper kept on evolving and becoming stronger as the battle continued and so was Dante. At this point it was a battle of who would run out of energy. Dante created three large suns from his imagination and launched it at Skyscraper but it sends them to another world by manipulating space itself.

Skyscraper (Panting): Is not over yet! am not done yet! Am not done yet(Screams).

The Skyscraper manages to use Dante's cloning ability and create so much duplicates of himself that it covered the entire 50th World. At this point the Entire 50th world had become completely white.

Dante: So you even managed to use my own technique well then let's see if you can copy this. Complete transformation of Dragon Armour suit: Extreme Speed Boost. Third Form of Martial Arts: Ultimate Taekwondo: All Malice Eradicating Kick.

Pow! Pow! Pow!Pow

Dante's kick sucked in all the Malice in the third dimension and the malice of The Skyscraper Destroying his Clones in one fell swoop.

It was described by observers (Chronos and the other Giants) that in just that brief second all the third Dimension was as bright as Heaven itself.

Skyscraper: I see his Kick did not only destroy my Clones it also purified the entire third dimension itself. To be honest I was nearly moved by the purity of his attack but is not over yet.

The Skyscraper gathered all of the power in his core pouring all of his desire into it and evolving for the last time.

The Skyscraper had changed completely. In this form it had six wings, A crown on it's head, Two horns and a pure White Attire.

Skyscraper: Let's end this battle shall we

Dante: If you say so.

The Skyscraper gathered all of his energy into a huge ball above his head. Before Dante was about to use an attack of his own, he talked to Chronos telephatically. Informing him to hold together the third dimension at all cost because this attack could destroy everything in it. Chronos told him not to worry and go all out.

Dante brought his two hands together and cretead a little space between his palms( Like a prayer form but with the palms slightly opened and the two thumbs touching each other at the bottom and the other four fingers touching each other at the top. Dante called this attack Hope.

The two energies collided and exploded creating an explosion even bigger and more destructive than a gamma ray burst. The impact from the attack wiped out everything in the 50th World and it was only with Chronos help that the other world's weren't destroyed.

Skyscraper: So even with all my power I still couldn't damage you enough.

The Skyscraper bowed out of exhaustion. The attack from the Skyscraper managed to pierce through Dante's Energy Barrier and injure him a bit. some tiny drops of blood started running down Dante's mouth but he swipes it and approaches the Skyscraper.

Dante: Now I see why Most of the Gods died during the battle with the giants. You are an extremely strong and powerful being and I commend you for that.

Skyscraper: Hm if you are going to kill me get it over with.

Dante: Well I won't lie though if I devoured you I would gain an enormous boost in my power but it would be such a waste to kill someone as powerful as you all for the sake of strength.

Skyscraper: What are you trying to say?

Dante: Join me. Become my sword and help me on my journey Skyscraper.

Hahaha Normally I would refuse due to my pride but since is you I accept. I promise to serve you as my Master and Fight by your side no matter what. If you tell me to die I will die and if you tell me to live I will live Master. With the Oath of the Core I swear an eternal loyalty to you.

Skyscraper accepts Dante's hands and stands up.

Dante: And on the Oath of the Core I also promise to take care of you and not betray you. Also calling me master sounds cringe. Call me Dante or Indra after all what is the use of formalities between friends.

After saying this and laughing a bit Dante collapses out of exhaustion. Skyscraper carries Dante and they leave the now destroyed 50th world. After arriving at the 49th World Chronos tried attacking Skyscraper thinking Dante lost but Skyscraper Informs Chronos about how he lost and that now he serves Dante.

Chronos thought to himself that he was right to believe in Dante and place his hope in him.

At the First dimension

Erza's companions had been taken hostage after arriving at the Realm of Witches and Spirits.

Erza was taken by the other Witches to meet a certain someone.

After arriving at the beautiful and Luxurious castle of the Queen of Witches and Spirits. Erza was sent to the throne room.

Door opens! To Erza's surprise she sees a face which she hated and was the main reason why she left the Realm of Witches to the Human World.

Erza: Mom!
