Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 48 - Chapter 47

Chapter 48 - Chapter 47

Nyx smirked as she saw the stars all shooting towards him. One star is more than enough to devastate a large area and having every single star in the place, every single star that the two could see be used to attack someone was more than devastating. She knew that having all those stars have the potential to greatly damage the planet of Earth, though it will survive, even if by a miracle if she doesn't take it seriously.

Not that it would be any problem as she could quite easily destroy the planet, though she has to focus on her opponent right now for trying to toy with her. She looked at him as he just smiled at the stars that were streaming towards him through the darkness of space as she watched them reach near him. She had also condensed those stars to maximize their damage.

But her thoughts stopped when the stars, the millions of stars, which should have enough power to destroy and decimate a planet, all disappeared one by one as they reach a certain radius around him. To her eyes she saw the air ripple as the stars disappeared, like a rock falling on water and how ripples are formed on the surface. She looked at him in shock while he just smiled at her as he crossed his arms.

"So, what else can you do?" Zadkiel asked her with a smile.

Nyx felt her eyebrows twitching at his question and the smile he has on his face. As if the attack she had just done wasn't anything serious. She's a bloody Primordial for Chaos' sake!

"How about this!?" Nyx shouted as she shot towards him with her scythe.

She reached him and then started to swing the scythe around her in fast speeds as he created a salt staff and used it to block and deflect her strikes as she grit her teeth. He blocked another of her attacks only for her scythe to grab ahold of his staff briefly stopping him as she let go of her weapon and gathered her divine energy in her left fist and sent a devastating right hook at him.

But he reacted quickly and deflected the attack as the energy shot out of her hand and to the right side as she was shocked at the quick response. But she didn't have more time to react before he punched her on her stomach causing her eyes to widen before he kicked her face causing her head to be shot up as she looked upwards.

But he moved above her and gave an axe kick to her face sending her downwards but he teleported below her as he looked at her. She turned on the way towards him before she sent another punch. But he dodged it before he sent a serious of powerful punches to her body. She felt all of it impact on her body, her stomach, chest, hands, neck, face as she was bombarded by the strikes.

She felt tremors go through her body as she realised that the strength behind the punches was more than enough to blow a mountain apart in one strike. Then her face was grabbed by him before he threw her away as her body flailed in the air as she was stunned from the blows to her.

Her powers are immense and her body is extremely durable, because of all of this none have been able to deal many blows on her. Even if it was Ouranos she never actually contended physically and so this was the first time she has actually felt pain of the magnitude so she was too stunned to act right after the attack.

Though it was something that he took advantage of as he reached her and slashed over her whole body using a sword of light as she screamed in pain as she felt it burn her body as she opened her eyes and glared at him. Darkness formed and attacked him as he created light balls to destroy them before she pushed him away using her darkness.

He moved back and stood still on the space as he looked at her as she corrected herself and looked at her body to find that it is filled with cuts as the wounds were burned as she glared at them. She then healed herself as she looked at him as he stood in the air with his wings fully extended as he kept his eyes trained on her.

"Then how about this? Let's see how you deal when I blow this entire universe to bits!" Nyx said before shouting as she gathered large amounts of power as his eyes briefly widened.

Dark chaotic purplish black energy formed into an orb in front of her as she screamed before the orb exploded and enveloped the two of them before it continued to grow. It first destroyed the Earth, then slowly the other planets and then the Sun as well. The explosion kept on growing as it broke down and destroyed the planets, asteroids any and all star like celestial objects in space.

The attack went on an unprecedented way as even microorganisms were destroyed alongside it as the magnitude of the attack reached far and destroyed the milky way. It kept on getting bigger as it destroyed countless stars and galaxies in its wake as in but a few moments the explosion had reached enough size to destroy the entirety of the universe.

But then the explosion abruptly stopped, before it began to grow smaller and smaller as all of the destroyed galaxies started to come back as the explosion grew smaller as it revealed the rest of the destroyed things coming back. The explosion reached the small size of the Milky Way before it shrunk further and further until it reached the solar system as the planets were also back before Earth itself was also revealed.

The explosion grew smaller and smaller until it became a very small ball of condensed, purplish black chaotic dark energy as it was in the palm of a hand. Said hand belonged to Zadkiel as he looked at the attack with a smile on his face. He then looked at Nyx who was panting a bit as she looked at him shocked as her eyes darted from the orb of energy on his hand to his face before it went back to his hand again.

"H-How...?" Nyx asked shocked and in disbelief at what had happened.

'That attack was enough to destroy the entire universe and had also destroyed almost everything of it. And yet he was able to actually bring all the destroyed things back and is now holding my attack in his hand!?' Nyx thought to herself shocked and now a bit scared.

"That was an impressive attack. It was a bit of a problem for me to suppress it like this but thankfully I was able to do that." Zadkiel said with a smile.

"How were you able to do that?" Nyx asked him as she was scared.

"Your first mistake was thinking that you would be able to defeat me just because I'm an Angel. I may be an Angel, but I have always trained in my abilities and powers for a long time and it has reached unprecedented levels. But you... You were contend with your strength and power and so it never grew while mine has reached such levels that I'm sure that without Father's backup, even Michael won't be able to defeat me." Zadkiel said to her with a smile.

Nyx's eyes widened when she heard that as she looked at him. To hear that he has enough strength to overcome her own, when she had believed herself to be one of the strongest beings in the universe and had believed herself to be able to fight equally against other Primordials and maybe defeat them. The only ones she had counted on being able to soundly defeat her being the very first beings like Chaos, God and those who were born with them.

And to hear that an Angel like him is able to actually be on a level greater than her was a blow to her pride and face as she couldn't muster anything. Her hands fell to her side as she looked down with a defeated look.

"I... I lost." Nyx said as she looked down with a defeated look in shame.
