"Ngh! Cough... COUGH!" Tsukuyomi kept coughing up blood.
While being strangled to death, a voice came out of nowhere, exuding a glorious light which has truly engulfed the entire void.
"What...? ... Is that... You...?" The scholar spoke reaching his hand out behind the creature.
The humanoid beast raised his hand, which was choking Tsukuyomi, and questioned."Huh? What do you think you're doing right now?"
His face was filled with questions as he saw the God of the Moon reaching out his hand on thin air as if he were calling out for someone.
Bruised and wounded, Tsukuyomi breathed heavily. His eyes have started to wander. His senses have become dulled.
"Tsk!"
The creature didn't find him entertaining anymore so he threw him aside. After throwing him aside, he walked towards him and started stomping him fiercely.
*STOMP!*
The wounded scholar didn't retaliate nor move and only still kept grasping at something in thin air.
While he was being stomped, the white-robed scholar saw an unimaginable light within the darkness.
The light that engulfed the darkness was only visible to him, and the entire vicinity was still filled in darkness from the creature's perspective.
Annoyed by the delusions of the scholar, the humanoid beast took the sword which was stabbed at him and used it to slice through his reaching hand.
"AAAAARGH!"
Tsukuyomi screamed as he watched his hand get cut off. Still, even after that, he hadn't put down his arm and was still focused on something completely naked to the eye of the humanoid creature.
"What are you reaching out to?" It questioned while watching the dazed scholar."Is there someone out there you're trying to reach out to?" It questioned once again.
"HAHAHAHAH I WANT TO SEE WHICH GOD CAN ENTER THIS ILLUSORY WORLD WHICH HAS NOW BEEN OVERTAKEN BY THE GREAT I!" It mockingly laughed showing a sinister grin.
Not being content with a hand, it once again sliced a part of the upper body of Tsukuyomi and this time, he took his entire arm, which he had cut his hand earlier on.
"AAAAARGH!!"
The God of the Moon screamed but not in fear of dying but something else unbeknownst to the beast.
"HAHAHAHAHA! THATS RIGHT! SCREAM! FEAR ME! WHAT AWAITS YOU NOW IS DEATH!" It thought that the scholar was screaming due to the intense pain he had inflicted on him, but it wasn't the case at all.
Due to the adrenaline, the creature wasn't yet contented and sliced off his right leg making Tsukuyomi cripple both in the upper and lower body.
"AAAAARGH!!!"
The scream was louder than the one from earlier. It then came closer to his face, watching his fixated gaze at the black sky with tears of blood flowing from his eyes.
The beast turned its gaze up to see what would appear, but nothing happened even after giving it enough time for something or someone to approach it.
"Should I just cut all of your limbs and gouge out your eyes and replace them with mine after taking possession of your body?"
Tsukuyomi finally looked at the eyes of the beast and laughed at him, pitying him for what was about to come.
"Hahahahaha!" He reached out his only hand and covered his eyes as he laughed at the beast."You best prepare yourself, for that person has come."
From the perspective of the beast, it looked like Tsukuyomi was already delusional and was just acting up in the face of death through possession.
"How unsightly for a high god such as yourself to be devoured in mere delusions" the beast glared at him with disgust.
"This time, I'll be ripping your remaining limbs apart" it spoke menacingly as it grabbed his remaining leg.
The God of the Moon didn't respond and only remained in silence, slowly closing his eyes.
He felt every pain of being dismembered.
"AAAAARGHHHH!!!!"
Despite all the pain he has suffered, he didn't beg for forgiveness and silently swallowed all of it, remaining indifferent towards the creature.
"Heh? You're quite a tenacious God. Though you're delusional, you're not to be trifled with when it comes to enduring this much pain"
The demonic creature then opened its mouth as it held onto Tsukuyomi's leg.
"Bon appetit~"
Blood splashed all over the place as it consumed the scholar's leg. While his leg was currently being munched on by the creature, he didn't move an inch and silently felt the blood splashing all over his face.
Suddenly, right as the beast was having his meal, somewhere outside the illusory world, a huge tremor was felt, even reaching the space in which they were both residing.
"What was that?!" The demonic creature questioned.
After having finished feasting upon Tsukuyomi's leg, he then threw away the remaining bones and was completely baffled at the tremors his hearing from outside.
A moment later. The tremors suddenly subsided. The beast tried sensing what happened to his other bodies outside and just as it tried to sense his remaining parts, it sensed an unimaginable Divinity coming from outside.
Just as it sensed it. The creature started coughing out a huge amount of blood. Its eyes filled with horrors. Its entire body is shaken due to extreme fear. Its face became pale in just that split second.
It then approached Tsukuyomi holding his collar as it tried to question him."Tell me! Who was that?!"
A moment earlier, as it was trying to pry on the outside world, it saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring down at it.
Tsukuyomi smiled and sneered at the sight of the whimpering beast."Hah... Don't even think of leaving out here alive"
As he finished his sentence, Tsukuyomi fainted due to excessive blood loss and lack of divine energy.
The creature looked back at the empty void and saw small cracks appearing everywhere. With every crack, a line of light started appearing from the cracking formation.
"HOW DARE YOU?!!"
