At this moment, the eyes of the audience from all three worlds were fixed on the screen. They were afraid to miss a single second of the action. On screen, a chilling scene unfolded.
"Hahaha!" Swartz couldn't help but laugh, holding a purple-black light ball in his hand. It continued to condense ominously. With a sudden, violent movement, it shot forward like lightning, filled with terrifying power.
"Go to hell!" Swartz shouted, launching the purple-black light ball toward Sougo.
In that critical moment, Sougo was still in his human form and had no time to transform. The audience in all three realms grew anxious, some even closing their eyes in fear, anticipating that Sougo might be severely injured.
But just as the light ball rushed toward Sougo, Gates stepped in front of him.
"Swift Wind!" Gates shouted, launching his own attack to intercept the dark ball of energy. For a brief moment, he held his ground, but then he was sent flying, blood spilling from his mouth. He crashed to the ground, weak and struggling.
Sougo rushed over to Gates, panic spreading across his face. "Gates, hang on!" he shouted desperately.
The three-world audience shared Sougo's concern. A heavy silence fell over the crowd as everyone worried for Gates. Would he survive? They could feel their hearts sinking, hoping Gates would pull through.
Gates, struggling for breath, whispered weakly, "Sougo... you must become Oma Zi-O, the King of Time."
"But..." Sougo began, but Gates interrupted.
"You will be the most benevolent and kind demon king..." Gates managed to say, his voice barely audible.
Sougo's face twisted with grief. "Gates, don't die!" he cried, shaking his friend's body, the despair evident in his tone.
Tsukuyomi, rushing to Gates' side, also called out his name, tears streaming down her face. Gates had been her companion from the same world. How could he die now?
The audience was also deeply moved. Some were shedding tears for Gates, a hero who had sacrificed himself to save Sougo. The room fell silent, mourning the loss of such a noble person.
Gates, with the last of his strength, managed to say, "I'm so happy to have been a part of this era... Sougo, it's been a blessing to be your friend. And Tsukuyomi... you will surely..."
Before he could finish, his eyes closed, his hands fell limp, and he passed away.
Sougo's heart shattered as he screamed in anguish, "Gates! Don't leave me! Don't die!"
Tsukuyomi stood beside him, equally devastated. The loss was overwhelming.
The three realms' audience shared in their sorrow. Gates, who had fought so selflessly, was now gone.
Suddenly, Sougo's eyes hardened with determination. A murderous rage burned within him. His fists clenched, and he swore, "Swartz, I will kill you! I will destroy you!"
At that moment, Sougo's transformation belt began to glow gold. He stepped forward from the smoke and dust. A flame-like clock appeared beneath his feet. The ground itself seemed to crack and burn with molten magma. The air shimmered, and the space around him warped.
"Transform!" Sougo shouted, his voice echoing with authority.
"The most benevolent and kind... the most supreme and powerful king!"
"Oma Zi-O!"
Sougo's armor transformed, now a mix of gold and black. His entire presence shifted into something more powerful, more domineering. He was no longer just Sougo; he had become the demon king he was destined to be.
Tsukuyomi's face shifted, her mouth agape in awe. She had watched him struggle for so long—was Sougo finally going to embrace his role as Oma Zi-O?
Woz, standing nearby, was filled with excitement. "It's here! It's finally here! His Majesty the Demon King is becoming Oma Zi-O!" he exclaimed.
In the three realms, the audience was also in shock. A sense of exhilaration rippled through them as they witnessed Sougo's transformation.
"Yes! Sougo finally did it!" one spectator shouted. "We've been waiting for this moment!"
"I can't believe it! This is the ultimate moment!" another cheered.
Funina couldn't contain her excitement. "This transformation is incredible! Look at the fire and lava!"
Lei Yingying gasped, "Sougo's power is overwhelming! Is this the power of Oma Zi-O?"
Even Otto, who had been waiting for this day, stood up, his hands trembling with excitement.
Swartz, however, wasn't intimidated. He sneered and laughed maniacally. "Hahahaha!" he mocked, even in the face of Sougo's newfound power. "I've been waiting for this moment. This is why I pushed Sougo to become Oma Zi-O. Now, I'll absorb his power!"
Swartz cast two purple-black beams at Sougo, trying to absorb his power. "Such strength!" Swartz muttered. "With this power, I can surpass my sister and inherit the throne."
The audience gasped in horror. If Swartz succeeded in absorbing Sougo's power, it would be disastrous. They held their breath, anxiously waiting for the outcome.
But then, to everyone's shock, Swartz's body began to tremble. His face twisted in agony as his absorption was interrupted. "What... what is happening?" he gasped.
Sougo's voice rang out, low and hoarse. "Do you think you can absorb all my power?"
The audience froze. Sougo's voice had changed—it was now gruff, like that of a man who had lived through countless battles. He continued, "My power is the power of all knights."
Swartz, his confidence shattered, found himself panicking. He had thought he could easily absorb Sougo's power, but now it was clear that Sougo was far stronger than he had anticipated.
As Swartz attempted to retreat, dark knights surrounded Sougo, but he dispatched them with ease. His fists became instruments of destruction. One punch sent an enemy flying, exploding in a flash of fire. Another punch obliterated an opponent, turning them to ash.
The three realms' audience was in awe. "He's too strong!" one commentator shouted. "Sougo is like a god now—nothing stands a chance against him!"
Sougo's actions were swift and brutal. He crushed his enemies with an ease that left everyone speechless. Birds and beasts in the sky were obliterated with a single burst of flame, their remains turning to ashes as fireworks lit up the sky. The screen was filled with explosions and fiery destruction.
"This is it," one person commented. "Sougo has truly become Oma Zi-O—the king of destruction. Nothing can stop him now!"
Swartz, standing at a distance, could only watch in disbelief. "What power... how can I defeat this?" he muttered to himself. His plans were unraveling before his eyes.
Swartz had hoped to absorb Sougo's power and become the ultimate ruler, but now he realized he was no match for him. In a desperate move, he opened a space vortex to escape.
"I have absorbed some of your power, but it is not enough to defeat you," Swartz said, his voice shaking. "I will return to my world and rule it as the strongest king."
As the space vortex formed, Swartz vanished, leaving Sougo standing victorious.
The audience of the three realms could hardly believe their eyes. "What a coward!" one person spat. "He talks big, but as soon as things get tough, he runs away!"
In the extraordinary chat group, the excitement was palpable.
Funina: "Sougo's transformation is amazing! He's invincible now!"
Kiana: "I can't believe it! Sougo is unstoppable!"
Otto: "This is the power of Oma Zi-O? He's like a god!"
March 7: "We've been waiting for this! Sougo is finally the king of time!"
Yae Shinko: "I'm proud of him. What an incredible transformation."
The chat was filled with cheers and congratulatory messages, each person reveling in the victory.
Swartz had tried to play his hand, but in the end, it was Sougo who had emerged victorious, embodying the immense power of Oma Zi-O. With this power, Sougo stood ready to conquer any challenge that lay ahead.
