Despite Genesis's nonchalance, the primordials persisted, attempting to inflict even the smallest of injuries on him with no success. Eventually, they gave up, their faces showing wry smiles as if they had anticipated this outcome from the start.
Genesis watched them with disinterest and said, "Are you done playing with your little toys? Those aren't the weapons I gave you, are they? Enough with the warm-up... Let's go."
As he spoke, he removed the top part of his robe and tied it around his waist. His aura intensified, becoming almost intoxicating. While the essence lords and the Primordials managed to hold their ground, the other gods, overwhelmed by the pressure, struggled to stay upright.
Leviathan burst into maniacal laughter, with Ziz and Behemoth offering confident yet wry smiles.
"So that's how it is?" Leviathan said, cracking his bones. "Alright then, we'll oblige you, Father."
With that, the three primordials began to transform in extraordinary ways. Leviathan's neck elongated, his limbs shrank, and a powerful dragon-like head emerged with thousands of massive teeth and dark scales. He grew to a terrifying size of 10,000 meters long, his tail turning into a menacing metal whip.
Behemoth transformed into a colossal mammoth-like creature with a lion's head, antlers, and a powerful jaw. Standing 3,000 meters tall with a golden mane and dark-golden fur, he shook the very space around him with each step.
Ziz became a magnificent brown bird, her body coursing with electricity. She grew 1,000 meters tall with a wingspan of 6,000 meters, a black crown on her head, and long, blade-like talons.
To an outside observer, it might have seemed comical—three massive beasts ganging up on a small child. But the gods around them wore grim, fearful expressions, while the essence lords watched with keen interest, and Ren was in awe.
Genesis smirked, assuming a battle stance. He raised his hand, making a "come here" gesture.
Immediately, Behemoth roared, shaking the heavens as he charged at Genesis. Ziz and Leviathan followed swiftly. Despite their enormous size, they moved with incredible speed and reached Genesis in an instant.
Behemoth lunged at Genesis with his massive antlers. Given the size difference, it seemed likely Genesis would be thrown, but he blocked the attack with his arms. The impact created a shockwave that affected the entire area, causing nearby gods to flee to avoid internal injuries.
Genesis swiftly moved to Behemoth's head and delivered a solid punch to his skull, sending him crashing through multiple planets. Fortunately, those planets were uninhabited, sparing any potential casualties.
As Behemoth was momentarily out of the fight, Ziz swooped down, launching thousands of feathers at Genesis. He deflected them effortlessly. Ziz then attempted to slash Genesis with her razor-sharp wings, but he remained unmoved. Although her wings bore deep gashes, she continued her relentless assault.
At that moment, a large ball of black flames hurtled toward Genesis, timed perfectly to follow Ziz's attack. Genesis turned to face the flames and struck them with an ethereal palm, blocking and dissipating them. The flames' explosion destroyed the surrounding space, collapsing it under their intensity.
As the energy of Genesis's palm faded, Leviathan's giant jaw opened behind him, prepared to snap shut. But Genesis was ready. He snapped his fingers, and ethereal hands appeared, holding the jaw's upper and lower parts apart with little success.
Genesis walked out of Leviathan's mouth and tightened a thread-like ethereal rope around it, throwing Leviathan over his shoulder and crashing him onto an uninhabited planet, causing a slight concussion.
Before Genesis could act further, Behemoth struck him from behind, sending him flying back. The primordials regrouped.
"Should we use it now?" Behemoth asked.
"Yes," Ziz agreed, "he's as strong as we expected. Waiting would only mean more pointless punishment."
Leviathan shook his head. "Not yet. Let's learn his rhythm and pattern first. You can't defeat a foe this powerful without understanding him."
Genesis returned to his position, observing them with a smirk. "I see you three haven't been slacking all these years. But you'll need more than that to take me down."
"Alright then, Father, we'll entertain you!" Leviathan roared as he charged at Genesis, with Behemoth and Ziz following suit.
The battle between them was just beginning.
