Compared to the other two battles, the fight between Constantine and the shape-shifting demon seemed somewhat trivial. After all, from a normal perspective, Constantine's presence was entirely unnoticeable. All that could be seen was an ugly shape-shifting demon struggling between holy fire and holy water.
Even Tony Stark, disgusted by the scene, had lost interest in broadcasting this particular fight, turning his attention back to the more obscured battlefield.
However, Constantine didn't have much of a reaction to this, as he wasn't too fond of being widely known. If everyone became aware of his identity as a magician, how could he continue to deceive others? "Wonder if I can win. Should I spare his life for now and see?" Constantine pondered hesitantly as his holy fire enveloped the demon's body and looked towards Robert's battlefield.
Knowing that Robert possessed the power to combat the lord of Hell itself and wanting to close the gap between them, Constantine was still unsure of Robert's victory. If the lord of Hell won, killing the shape-shifting demon could become problematic.
Unbeknownst to Constantine, the lord of Hell was faring even worse than he imagined. Initially, the lord of Hell managed to prolong his defeat using his combat experience from years of fighting in Hell. However, that only meant he wasn't losing as quickly.
Robert's combat experience and skills were no less than the lord of Hell's. Combined with his almost peak condition and giant ape transformation, Robert's speed and strength greatly surpassed those of the lord of Hell.
As the fight progressed, Robert began to completely overpower the lord of Hell in terms of speed, strength, and combat experience. The lord of Hell's vitality was stubbornly strong, allowing him to last this long against Robert.
Robert wondered if all demons, once reaching a certain level of power, became this hard to kill. After all, the life force of the previous holy lord was extremely tenacious, requiring a lengthy battle and a Spirit Bomb to force a self-destruction.
However, Robert noticed that this lord of Hell lacked the BUG-level recovery abilities like the horse talisman or dog talisman. The lord of Hell's recovery ability was strong but had its limits.
Robert's only concern was that the Hell realm itself might collapse before reaching the lord of Hell's limits, complicating their battle far beyond mere ground fractures.
Seeing himself increasingly at a disadvantage, the lord of Hell naturally refused to accept this. He had come to kill Robert and conquer Earth, not to be defeated!
With a buzz, a terrifying energy burst from the lord of Hell, aiming for a sneak attack during the fight. However, Robert reacted swiftly, landing a palm strike on the lord of Hell's neck, deforming it. The energy blast aimed at the sky vanished.
In the sky, Clark, radiating with sunlight, floated. When he saw the energy blast, he punched it, dispersing the energy.
"Robert, try the Solar Fist, or rather, convert your Ki Blast into solar energy," Clark suggested after dispersing the blast, sensing something and telepathically communicating with Robert during the fight.
Robert raised an eyebrow. In the Dragon Ball world, many used the Solar Fist, but rarely as an offensive tool since converting Ki into light energy for attacks often reduced its destructiveness. However, Clark's suggestion implied that solar-like energy might be especially harmful to the lord of Hell.
This was unexpected for Robert, especially since it was broad daylight, and the lord of Hell didn't seem to have any issues with sunlight upon his arrival.
With thoughts flashing through his mind, Robert didn't hesitate in his actions. He gathered Ki in his palm, which instantly transformed into light energy, striking the lord of Hell.
The impact was like ice meeting fire; the lord of Hell's body bore a hole where Robert's palm struck, even dissipating the Hell energy around the wound and severely affecting its recovery ability.
"Holy light?! Buddha's light?! No, the sun? How is that possible? How could you concentrate sunlight to such a degree?" For the first time, panic appeared on the lord of Hell's face. Despite being pressured by Robert throughout the fight, he had not panicked like this before. He realized that Robert's power had not reached a higher level than his own, meaning Robert couldn't kill him.
But now, injured by Robert's light energy, the lord of Hell panicked. All forms of light were abhorred by Hell. Even though sunlight was less of a restraint compared to holy or Buddha's light, merely causing discomfort, the issue was that Robert's sunlight had reached an ultimate concentration, possessing the fundamental ability to harm, even kill, the lord of Hell. How could he not panic?
"Really effective? Then I won't hold back!" Robert's giant ape form revealed a ferocious smile. A sphere of energy gathered around him, transforming into light energy, providing Robert with a layer of magical armor.
"Cursed!" In the next moment, Robert punched the lord of Hell. Previously, even at a disadvantage, the lord of Hell dared to counter Robert's attacks. But now, he didn't dare clash with Robert, knowing the injuries would be far more severe.
"Think you can escape? Not when I'm faster!" Robert's mouth curved slightly, his speed fully unleashed, disappearing from his original spot. The lord of Hell saw only an afterimage and couldn't dodge in time.
With a bang, Robert's punch penetrated the lord of Hell's body. The furious lord of Hell attempted a counterattack, managing to push Robert back but also aggravating his own injuries, as if Robert was wearing a reflective armor.
Realizing this, Robert could fight even more recklessly, now utterly overpowering the lord of Hell.
With another bang, the lord of Hell was sent flying, another wound appearing on his body that couldn't heal quickly, prompting him to consider fleeing.
Unable to defeat you, can I not run away? The lord of Hell, having climbed from the bottom, had faced defeat before. But his ability to escape had brought him to his current status.
With a buzz, the badly injured lord of Hell transformed into a puff of black smoke, fading away, attempting to escape.
But Robert was prepared, with telekinesis sealing the area. Initially, this was the lord of Hell's domain, but now, it belonged to Robert!
With a clang, a loud noise echoed around. Giant ape Robert's eyes narrowed slightly, his telekinetic barrier nearly breached by the lord of Hell. After transforming into a giant ape, Robert's physical attributes and Ki received significant boosts, but his psychic power did not increase correspondingly, almost allowing the lord of Hell to escape.
"Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!" Giant ape Robert roared, the sound reverberating through the telekinetic space, drawing the lord of Hell's attention back to him.
However, the lord of Hell's glance nearly cost him his life.
"Solar Fist!" Giant ape Robert roared, executing the Solar Fist in his giant form, enveloping the Hell realm in light.
With a buzz, this Solar Fist was different from before. Previously, it focused on blocking Ki and vision, relying on the brightness of the sun. But this time, it concentrated on the light and heat of the sun, transforming into pure light energy to attack all around.
The Solar Fist's reach, transforming Ki into light energy, indiscriminately attacked every inch of land
covered. While other materials weren't as severely damaged, the lord of Hell, averse to sunlight, suffered immensely.
The lord of Hell screamed in agony under the Solar Fist, his body nearly obliterated, only his core force barely hanging on.
But this wasn't a sustainable solution. Knowing he needed to find a way to escape or die here, the lord of Hell refused to accept death. However, as the Solar Fist's irradiation continued, his resistance weakened...
"No one can kill me without paying a price!" Anger surged in the lord of Hell, his essence exploding. "This explosion, born from my core power and Hell's dimension, if you wish to protect Earth, then protect a shattered Earth!"
Hearing this, Robert shook his head, familiar with this tactic of self-destruction, a common choice among villains without hope or means of survival.
However, Robert sensed the expanding energy of the lord of Hell was indeed powerful, more threatening than the initial explosion. A real explosion could potentially devastate Earth, destroying states or much of America, and significantly altering the planet's ecological environment.
Therefore, Robert couldn't let him explode. The next moment, he appeared in front of the lord of Hell, kicking towards him while telepathically communicating with Clark, "Clark, catch!"
Clark's lips twitched slightly, though he had been ready to act, he had thought Robert could handle it.
With a buzz, Clark saw the expanding form of the lord of Hell, and from behind, a barrier of pure light energy encased the lord of Hell, preventing immediate detonation.
Ideally, they would send the lord of Hell back to his dimension to explode, but neither Robert nor Clark knew how to open such a portal, so they opted to send him into space.
Venus: Don't come here!
The lord of Hell, realizing Clark and Robert's intent, struggled against Robert's light barrier, attempting to detonate immediately. The barrier trembled, showing signs of cracking, but the lord of Hell didn't succeed immediately.
For Clark, this delay was sufficient.
In the silence of space, a beautiful firework bloomed, unlike ultimate weapons that explode upon impact. The lord of Hell, ready to detonate, didn't need an igniter, so Clark tossed him into the vastness of space, far from any planet.
"It's over." Clark waited until the lord of Hell completely exploded, scanning the surroundings to ensure no trace of the lord of Hell's power remained before turning to leave.
Clark didn't believe beings like the lord of Hell couldn't survive in space, so caution was warranted.
As Clark returned to Earth, elsewhere, the shape-shifting demon trapped within Constantine's magic circle, tormented by holy fire and spared by Constantine's mercy, suddenly surged with power. This force took over the demon's consciousness, dispersing the holy fire.
Robert, cleansing the surrounding Hell realm of its demonic aura with light energy, suddenly focused his gaze on the shape-shifting demon.
"Until we meet again, Earth!" The shape-shifting demon, or rather the lord of Hell, seemed to catch Robert's gaze, sneering as he opened a portal to Hell, ready to flee.
But faster than his retreat, a figure blocked his path, covering his body with a heat vision...
