Solanky said, "Good work, team; you have proven yourselves to the upper echelons of the various sects of the god realm, and after my battle I have gifts for each of you. The voice note ended, and Solanky strolled towards Tanko. Tanko looked and saw a grey-skinned, white-haired youth approaching him in the distance. Tanko called out to his other colleagues to come out. All of a sudden, six huge figures rushed out from different directions and landed behind Tanko. All six of these beings looked exactly like Tanko but with slight varieties between them.
One of the devils said we can't fight on this planet; our movement will destroy the planet. Tanko nodded, dashed toward Solanky at a terrifying speed, and punched Solanky out of the planet. The devils all flew out of the planet within seconds. Solanky was suspended in space and smiled because he wanted to take the battle out of the planet. The devils appearing in space now felt that they could use their optimum body size to battle; their sizes grew from five kilometers to a hundred thousand kilometers. Tanko smiled and said, "Now you will witness the power of my colossal body." He lashed out his tentacles toward Solanky.
The unfolding battle was still shown in the sect hall. Solanky smiled and stretched his hand, and it seemed to pass through the interlayers of the space around his hand. The Sky Hybrid Sect Master was shocked because she could sense that something or someone was able to bypass the restrictions she set in the sect's treasury. She spread out her spiritual sense, avoiding the various powerful invited sect masters and elders. The moment her spiritual sense covered the treasury, she noticed that the restriction barrier was perfectly intact. She further spread it to scan every weapon in the treasury and noticed that one weapon was missing, and it was the dagger she took from Solanky because his strength wasn't enough.
She was shocked and withdrew her spiritual sense and asked herself, "How could he use such advanced spatial and dimensional control? Has he been suppressing his power all this while? And could he have the strength of a god of gods? How is that even possible?" She stopped thinking about it and looked at the screen. The other Blue Star teammates also watched the battle that was about to unfold before them.
Tanko instantly frowned and said, "You are not even taking us seriously by suppressing your strength to the level of a god-emperor; reveal your true strength if you truly want to contend with us." Solanky smiled and said, "That won't be necessary," as he dashed towards the incoming tentacle, which made him look like an ant trying to stop a timber from falling.
Solanky increased his power to half a step into the god of gods' level with the dagger in hand. But as he was pulling out the dagger, he infused it with engravings and techniques of the ancient devil-god race, which elevated the dagger to the level of a low-tier divine secret artifact from its previous high-tier divine artifact. The moment the dagger appeared in that space, time and space seemed to be nonexistent, and for the first time, the devils felt danger within their internal world space inside their bodies.
Solanky swung the dagger towards the incoming tentacle, and a RIP!!! Sound was a result of the tentacle being sliced apart. The other devils teleported directly behind Solanky and slammed into Solanky's body, and he was thrown off into the distance. Tanko was shocked because he didn't even feel the time the blade sliced through his tentacle. He became furious and exploded one-third of the internal world's power, as beings above the god emperor level no longer had spiritual life cores that housed their souls and consciousness, but in place of that, they had a miniature universe that absorbed the energies of the world to evolve. After doing this, Tanko's power surged from 730,000 times at the Devil of Devils level to two million times. He blurred and disappeared from where he was and appeared directly above Solanky, and a trident appeared in his hands. Then he swung it relentlessly at Solanky while shifting his position and teleporting.
Tanko said in a crazed tone, "Burn a part of the power of your internal world, or else you might fall here because that dagger he is using is a divine secret artifact that can easily annihilate us." The devils hearing this were all shocked because they now understood Tanko stood there for him to lose a tentacle; they all started burning a third of their internal world space power. They then joined in attacking Solanky from all sides and began suppressing him, leaving him with no chance to go on the offensive but only to defend himself.
The beings watching this from the sect and his teammates all felt bad for Solanky, as he seemed to stand no chance against the brutal onslaught of the devils. Okafor and Tee decided to help him, but they were stopped by the sect master and teammates, respectively, as they understood Solanky wouldn't put himself in such a position if he couldn't handle it. The devils laughed as they gained the upper hand against Solanky. Solanky had only erected a barrier, and countless cracks appeared on its surface.
The barrier crumbled, and Solanky was sent flying into the distance and crushed into a large meteor. Tanko threw his trident into the meteor, and a loud CLANG!!! Was heard as the trident was knocked away into the distance. The debris settled, and one could see Solanky's body clad in silver armor and helmet. The armor wasn't his supreme divine rare artifact, but it was an armor Seth gifted him to use until the ten thousand-year period was over.
Tanko summoned his trident, and it flew into his hands. Tanko could see the tip of the trident was slightly bent, and he muttered to himself, "Who is this monster?" The other devils all teleported beside Tanko and asked what their next line of action was. Tanko didn't hesitate and said, "We merge our power; that's the only way we can defeat him. Just look at him; his power is rising." The devils agreed and merged their power. All this while, Solanky, clad in his new silver armor, looked at them quietly as if he had wanted them to make a merger.
The moment they finished their merger, their height soared to a few million kilometers, and this form of theirs had every feature of the merged devils. Solanky dashed towards them at a terrifying speed, which reached eight hundred and eighty times the speed of light, and everywhere he passed, the space-time around him became distorted. The onlookers in the sect hall and his teammates on planet Dorvan were all shocked because his current speed defied all logic. The fastest a god of gods or devil of devils could reach was five hundred times the speed of light, and that is when they burnt their internal world power.
Solanky did that just by running, which defied everything they knew because in space, flying or teleporting was the best mode of moving, and as Solanky was running, one could see his body size increase together with the armor, and it reached a hundred kilometers before it halted. All the sect masters and elders in the hall said in unison, "Who…who is this monster?" Solanky stretched his hand, and the dagger began to increase and transform into a broadsword with countless engravings etched on it.
The merged devils also extended their hands, and a long rod appeared in their hands, and they swung it ruthlessly towards Solanky. Solanky also swung the broadsword to clash with the rod. The moment the two weapons clashed, ten light-years of the surrounding space were annihilated and reduced to chaotic airflows. The merged devil took four steps back, and Solanky also took three steps back. Luckily, before he dashed forward towards the merged devil, he sent a secret voice note to Tee to use her world-defying magic to form an invisible barrier of ten light-years from the planet Dorvan and create a separate dimensional space and store all the life planets within the ten light-year invisible barrier.
They both stabilized their bodies and dashed forward again and exchanged several blows; each time they clashed, the space around them collapsed and reformed. They both flew back in opposite directions and sized each other up. Within the consciousness of the merged devil, they conversed, saying, "Impossible! How can he compete with our merged power and bodies without being at a disadvantage?" Solanky, too, said to himself, "The merger of these devils is very difficult to deal with even with the armor without any special techniques."
The merged devil laughed and said, "You are very impressive to go toe-to-toe with us, boy! But since we are evenly matched in strength, all we can do to tilt the scales is to use our special techniques and laws of accumulation, which I can clearly say is the end for you, because each of us has lived for more than fifty billion years, and together we have a deep accumulation of the laws and techniques to which you pale in comparison." This voice was none other than Tanko's.
Solanky leisurely walked towards them and said, "Oh, really?" Then let's see who has the best techniques.
