'Chance!' not missing a single moment of opportunity, the Moon God stepped foot on the falling debris. Circling back and forth around the falling beast.
With no sight to see as to how deep the crater was in the vast expanse of darkness, Tsukuyomi felt that he only had one last chance to defeat his foe, and that was to destroy its core! But! Even with the use of his discerning eyes to locate it. The core is moving by itself all over the demon's body! Making it hard to pinpoint the exact location.
The scholar didn't initiate combat and only kept running around in circles as if he was trying to gain momentum fast enough to succeed in his attempt at subjugation!
'Huff...Huff... If having sliced through him thousands of times didn't work due to its unbelievable regeneration skills, then I'll pin it all on this one strike!'
On the other hand, the creature flipped its body facing the black sky. It then used two of its tails to destroy the debris that Tsukuyomi was using as a foothold.
*BREAK*
*SHATTER*
As it kept breaking the falling debris, it then spat out a huge black ball of fire, randomly shooting it upwards.
'It missed. What's he doing?' the scholar inwardly questioned as he looked at the purple miasma covering the beast.
*EXPLODE!*
As the black ball of fire exploded, hundreds and thousands of smaller black flames broke apart completely and are currently raining down on them.
*DEFLECT*
The Moon God was slowly losing his momentum as the debris he was using as a foothold had now been reduced to only a few dozen left! along with the raining showers of black flames.
'It's now or never!' Tsukuyomi only has one choice left but to strike now or be engulfed by the barrage of black flames. He then used his remaining divinity left and used it on his feet.
Concealing the sound of his footsteps. With enough power to levitate himself off the ground, he kicked off once again faster than before.
The scholar hid his aura to avoid detection, this also comes out disadvantageous for him as he's now prone to multiple attacks coming from every direction. Although his senses are now heightened to the extreme. He can't waste any more time deflecting useless bullets coming right at him because if he did, it would be game over for him as he only has enough for a few certain functions to use his Divinity and only has one strike to kill off the enemy in one hit.
*SWOOSH*
*DASH*
With his trace hidden, the beast used one of its eyes to detect the high god. Its right eye glowed showing a visible mark for aiming. Hunting down Tsukuyomi's traces.
"You think you can get away just from hiding your presence alone?!" It shouted while aiming its right eye at the dashing scholar.
"Lock!" Finally, having pinpointed Tsukuyomi, its right eye then began to emit a purplish light coming from its pupils!
*FWOOOSH*
A beam of dark purplish laser came rushing towards the high god Tsukuyomi.
Having seen the attack, the scholar swiftly dodged it but to no end! It kept chasing right after him! As if it's tracking his every movement like a tracking missile!
The beast fired yet another beam. And another, and another! Until it has reached several dozens of beams chasing the Moon God to no end!
*FWOOOSH*
*TAILING*
'Tsk!'
Glaring at the projectiles chasing right after him, he concluded that the moment it fired one more shot of beam, that would be the chance for him to strike!
At that very moment, while he was running around, the creature was preparing to fire another beam towards Tsukuyomi.
'NOW!' the God of the Moon jumped straight down at high speed towards its eye. The cold sword was glimmering in the essence of the moon, releasing a faint fiery glow of his newfound artifact.
The demonic beast locked its eye on him straight with the intent to eradicate the Moon God into oblivion!
*FIRE!*
*BWOOSH*
*BOOM!*
Tsukuyomi wasn't fazed at all and was planning on completely taking its attack head-on. He held his sword tightly and was preparing himself for an impeccable thrust!
With just a few meters away from the deadly ray. The scholar retaliated with a strong thrust layered with a thin aura aiming for the beam of light.
*THRUST*
*SPLIT*
*BOOM!*
The beam of light was split in half and exploded.
With all the smoke around. The creature wasn't able to detect Tsukuyomi's presence because of the remaining energy particles surrounding the smoke due to the explosion.
While trying to find the God of the Moon, something came out from within the smoke and it was the beams it had fired earlier on.
'What?!' it questioned to itself looking ever so baffled.
It then gazed at its back and saw a hint of light coming from behind it.
"This is the end!" The God of the Moon shouted as he prepared for his final attack.
His sword shone. Making half of the illusory space shine brightly as if a miracle descended in a lost land.
The creature is now caught in a pincered attack by the scholar and his beam.
*BOOM!*
He thrust his sword towards the beast along with the aimed beams directly aiming towards it. The attack has successfully landed towards a creature of a demonic nature. With the most powerful attack which Tsukuyomi could muster, the space was engulfed with smoke, and the light soon faded along with his attack.
While the smoke is slowly clearing up. He sensed the fear that he hadn't ever felt before. His entire soul is warning him to immediately run away.
"What is this...?" He questioned. His hands. No. His entire body is screaming in fear.
Even with all that. Tsukuyomi maintained a calm expression as he watched the smoke clear itself.
He then tried to take back his sword, which was supposedly pierced deep inside the body of the beast but wasn't able to do so.
While he was trying to take back his weapon, an unknown hand came rushing towards his throat. Due to the accumulated fatigue and lack of Divine energy, the scholar was easily captured by the emerging hand.
"Argh!" Slowly his grip loosened to his weapon. In the most vulnerable state, he still tried to resist the hand which is tightly holding his neck.
*SQUIRM*
*SQUIRM*
But it was undoubtedly no use. Futile to be precise. He then clenched his teeth, trying to amass whatever power he had left, but as he gathered his energy, it spoke.
"It's futile. To think you've made me release another tail. I must admit. You really are quite a nuisance to deal with" The person hidden in the smokey veil continued while heavily glaring at Tsukuyomi."Tsukuyomi correct? I'll now be taking over your Divine Body and will then turn it into my nourishment!"
After finishing his sentence, the smoke finally cleared up, and what was hidden in that camouflage has finally shown itself.
Undoubtedly, the creature evolved itself and produced a humanoid body in that short amount of time.
"I'm tired of playing games with you all. So, as soon as I get out of here and join the rest of my body. I'll have those self-proclaimed high gods to follow you and become nourishments for me to further evolve myself as the Highest Demonic God!"
Tsukuyomi looked at the humanoid creature right in front of him, with his fur only visible to the other parts of its body and a skin of that of a human God. His hair and eyes are completely void and ruthless.
"Heh... So you're aiming to become a supreme God...? Why's that?" The God of the Moon didn't falter from its words and confidently questioned him.
"I'm not obligated to tell you that" It looked back at him with a demeaning tone in his voice, replying to the righteous God's selflessness.
*TIGHTEN*
His grip tightened yet again, choking the white-robed scholar to death.
"COUGH! COUGH! Ngh..."
