-----
The Hunters of El Cairo never truly intended to win.
Indeed, this entire time, they've been buying time.
Why? Because they knew that what they were fighting against was simply beyond their power.
Therefore, they called someone equally ridiculously strong, someone who had promised to keep the world safe.
And someone who had directly told the World-Wide Hunter Association that whenever a threat Hunters couldn't take appeared.
They were free to call her, and she would help no matter what, as long as it was a genuine threat to humanity.
To her, all humans were worth protecting; humanity wasn't only composed of the country she was born in or the countries she liked; it was the entire world's population of humans.
Any country, any place.
As long as there's a person in danger, as long as there's a child crying...
She will appear.
"The self-proclaimed Guardian of Earth…" Heba glanced at the skies, the golden portal that appeared glowing brightly, resembling a second sun. "You've finally come… Took you long enough, Bing Xue."
Her blue eyes glanced at the glistening woman made of pure light. Golden, rainbow, and silver light sculpted her beautiful form. Long silvery hair, rainbow eyes, golden clothes, semi-transparent, white skin.
It was as if an angel had descended from the heavens to oversee the world. The many citizens of El Cairo all glanced in disbelief at the woman they had only seen on TV or the Internet.
Bing Xue!
And with her came her organization, a "Cult" as she called it, of powerful hunters she recruited as her disciples.
The Heavenly Court!
"W-What's that?!"
Akhenaten glared in anger at the sky as several people came rushing down towards him from the golden portal that had opened out of nowhere.
"I had no idea these primitive insects had perfected Warp Technology!"
As he found himself flabbergasted, various members of the Heavenly Court rushed down; most of them had no ability to fly, but through the {Cloud Step} Martial Art, they were able to easily move through the air.
"You've called us, and so we are here!" Bing Xue said, spreading out her arms. "Heavenly Court's disciples, show me how strong you've grown!"
Leading the group of disciples, a Russian woman fell from the skies with short blonde hair and eyes that glowed with purple light.
She was well known not only in America or Russia but throughout the rest of the world.
A World-Class Hunter!
She spread out her hands, as black particles of emptiness emerged one after another, beginning to distort space itself.
"{Void Manifestation}"
Crack, crack…!
Void encompassed her like a veil, manifesting everywhere. The skies around her quickly turned deep black as giant ripples in space reached the closest enemies to her.
Crack, CRACK!
A dozen Divine Machines were instantly destroyed as the ripples passed through them, shattering them apart into pieces and exploding. It was an all-destructive power, almost absolute.
Void!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"W-What was that power?!"
Akhenaten began sweating rapidly as he glanced at the golden pyramid far away in the skies, suddenly realizing its barrier was already being breached as well.
"Huh?!"
It was an incredibly strong, high-tech force field barrier made out of electromagnetic energies and compressed gravity. Only something with the power of an atomic bomb could ever pierce through it.
Yet…
"I've been waiting for a punching bag capable of holding my punches since I started cultivating! Let's see…!"
A giant, burly black man whose skin was completely made out of obsidian-like metal swung his enormous fists, covered with large gauntlets made out of black steel.
His Aura of Mana and Ki converged into an explosive flow of energy and destructive force; each of his fists made the giant pyramid's force field barrier gain several cracks.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
Several huge holes spread through the barrier as its mechanism began to rapidly fail. If this continued, the entire pyramid that belonged to Akhenaton would fall into the desert below!
"No, the Pyramid! You bastard! STOP!"
Akhenaten had too many things he had to pay attention to, but he decided to prioritize the pyramid, rushing towards it with all his force, ignoring his sister and Sara, who were encapsulated inside of orbs made of Dark Matter.
Materializing a giant black scythe, Akhenaten swung his giant mechanical weapon, unleashing several waves of dark matter and electromagnetic energies towards Nicholas.
CLAAASH!
"Huh?!"
However, his eyes widened as he suddenly realized someone else had appeared in front of him, blocking the attacks with a glistening spear of light.
"Sorry, I can't let you do that to the chairman."
A blonde man with sharp blue eyes appeared, wearing a white suit and with angelic wings made of light behind his back. His glistening spear of light, made of his Ki and Mana, managed to intercept and block the blows from Akhenaten, or, well, more like send them flying into the sky.
He was nobody else but John Allgood, Guild Master of the Justice Guild.
"Another strange insect with powers..." the wicked Egyptian prince grew furious. "You dare to believe you can go against a Mechanical God?! You fool!"
Anubis rushed forward, swinging their giant scythe against the young man in front of them. The handsome young man gritted his teeth, barely blocking the blows. His magic spear was shattering into pieces and being remade over and over.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Hah! You're rather… strong!" smiled the blond man. "Luckily, I am not alone! Here, take this present!"
With a single thought, the blonde man conjured almost a hundred magic circles around his Mana and Ki Aura, quickly firing hundreds of spears of light, hitting Anubis, and constantly pushing it back.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Tch…! Useless!"
However, the Mechanical God had taken almost no damage at all, with the Dark Matter Veil helping it absorb all damage, even magical damage! The prince smiled confidently, punching the blonde man away.
BAAAM!
"Get off my way, you insect!"
He kept flying forward, trying to reach the pyramid, only for a bright light of many colors to completely surround him. His eyes had to squint to watch all the light being projected in front of him.
"T-This is…?!"
And then he realized that there were even more magic circles all around the Mechanical God Anubis. Giant magic circles of all colors spiral around, with large runes beginning to release bright colors.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"Those things again! That's how they conjure their strange psychic abilities!"
And then he noticed a boy floating far away from him, above the skies, his messy black hair fluttered by the wind as immense quantities of Mana kept coming from his body.
"Let's see what I can do…" he smiled.
"{Magus Martial Spirit Arts}: {Elemental Catastrophe}"
A combination of Martial Arts, Spirit Arts, and Magic Spell Conjuration. Nobody else in the Guilds of America would have been able to unleash this amount of Mana.
It was almost completely insane how much Mana this young man had, a resource that many Hunters thought was very scarce even when they reached S Rank.
Yet this boy's Mana capacity… seemed almost boundless. He possessed a special trait within his body, the power to produce Mana in enormous quantities.
But this also harmed his body.
However, thanks to Cultivation, such a weakness was rapidly disappearing!
Francisco Armstrong, the young Guild Master of the Wizard Guild.
"Ungh?!"
Akhenaten then learned what True Magic was.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A storm of elemental explosions, fire, light, darkness, ice, winds, thunder, earth, poison, psychic waves, water, metal, and more.
Giant meteors, beams of light, frost spears, dragons made of lightning, clouds of darkness, and endless curses.
The Dark Matter Veil was almost invincible; it would only flicker before a power capable of shaping or destroying Dark Matter itself.
Yes, indeed.
"Did you know?" giggled the boy. "When Mana gathers in tremendous quantities within a small, confined space… it creates something very amusing."
Therefore, young Francisco decided to constantly bombard the robot with hundreds of spells per second, making it so he created what's called…
"A Mana Singularity."
All the spells added to the enormous pressure, and as space itself began to distort and rapidly break apart, gravity began to quickly compress. The pressure thus made Anubis internal body begin to rapidly creak loudly.
The metal that was indestructible could only be pushed back and molded before the compression and gravity, but this, coupled with the explosions, caused the Mana Singularity to become even stronger.
"Uuuaagggh!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Akhenaton was unable to respond; anywhere he tried to attack or go, magic would quickly catch him, and the Dark Matter Veil was now becoming something that only worsened the situation.
"Your veil is indestructible, so I decided it's better to compress you within a given space until your entire internal body shatters!"
The young Mexican boy smiled as the Egyptian prince began to grow more and more desperate.
"D-Don't… fuck with meeeee!"
And then Anubis balance activated, a feather and a heart were being weighed, the Golden Bloodline Ability of the Egyptian prince rushing across the mech, rapidly empowering it.
[Ma'at Insurance: 1 Points]
[Ma'at Insurance: 10 Points]
[Ma'at Insurance: 20 Points]
[Ma'at Insurance: 30 Points]
[Ma'at Insurance: 40 Points]
[…]
At the end, it ended at a staggering number!
[Ma'at Insurance: 100 Points]
100 was the max number of Insurance Points it could hold.
And this alone…
RUMBLE!
With a loud shockwave of pure Dark Matter, Anubis started to break through the rain of never-ending magic spells. The power of the robot began to rapidly increase, surpassing its limits.
"What's happening?! What is Ma'at Insurance?!"
Franciso grew confused; not even a Mana Singularity could hold the powerful Mechanical God anymore.
Until…
BOOOM!
A huge shockwave broke through the singularity, space shook and sent the magician flying away, and the huge jackal made of steel surged, breaking from the endless rain of spells and reaching the boy.
"You must feel pretty weak right now, don't you?! Let me alleviate that with your death!"
A giant scythe was swung down towards Francisco; the boy's eyes widened as he quickly clapped his hands together, and then a huge shockwave of pure Mana took the shape of a palm, trying to intercept the incoming attack.
TRUUUM!
However, the palm made of Mana immediately exploded and disappeared, the scythe barely missing him by a hair as the boy flew away, encompassing his body with winds.
"He broke through a Mana Singularity…!" Francisco panicked. "This means… He surpasses the power of an S Rank monster! No, he must be way past that too… SSS Rank? Or… Divine Being?"
It didn't matter anyway; what mattered was that his life was in danger.
"DIE!"
The Egyptian prince had enough of the young magician's tricks, unleashing countless chains made of dark matter towards him.
The boy flew away, constantly evading them as they came, which only drew closer and closer.
And closer!
"Ah!"
As Francisco panicked,
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, a glistening light surged from above; a huge spear of light impacted Anubis, followed by several beams of light, hitting him constantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Ugh! So annoying!"
Akhenaten glared into the skies, noticing the blonde man he had failed to kill before now firing as many beams of light as he possibly could afford.
"Come on! Did you forget about me?"
"I certainly haven't!"
Anubis pointed its claws towards him, suddenly transforming and being modified on a giant mechanical cannon, gathering electricity and dark matter.
"{Death Cannon}"
TRUUUM!
A giant beam of darkness was fired towards John, the blonde man's eyes widening as he tried to fly away, only to notice the beam following him.
"Seriously, this guy's way too ridiculously strong!"
Summoning two spears of light, he gathered and harnessed his Ki Aura and Mana Aura, combining them together until his entire being started glistening.
"{Heavenly Guardian Spear Arts}: {One Thousand Spears of Nirvana}"
His Aura expanded at the same time as his senses and powers, John showcased what he had learned from Bing Xue, unleashing his full potential.
He, who once believed he simply had to live comfortably with the powers he had gained and the fame he had cultivated…
Since he met Bing Xue, his entire life has flipped upside down.
And he realized that there wasn't truly any limit to a person's growth.
As long as you can cultivate, there is no ceiling.
He has a desire to become strong and to protect his world from ever-growing threats.
A desire that might have never been born in the original timeline where Seth came from...
"I'll show you."
His Aura erupted, transforming into one thousand spears of light of tremendous size. The Death Cannon Beam, at the same time, impacted him.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
And then, one thousand spears moved forward rapidly, constantly piercing and unleashing explosions of light through the beam of condensed Black Matter.
Rapidly…
BOOOMMM!!!
The beam was completely overwhelmed, as Anubis, who was right behind it, received the full blunt of all of John's attacks at once.
"Uuggh!"
The Egyptian prince groaned in annoyance as his machine constantly shook. The spells from Francisco continued hitting his veil, making it tremble, twist, and rapidly begin to... become thinner.
"T-The veil is…!"
His eyes widened as he noticed yet another member of this group, the young woman who could manipulate void itself and who had just finished taking care of something.
"That Veil… It's really annoying, don't you think?"
The Egyptian prince then saw her small hand touch the Dark Matter veil.
"{Devouring Void}"
FLUOSH!
And then, a miniature black hole absorbed it all, leaving Anubis completely unprotected!
