章 178: Demigod vs Elite Android
Back to Ghirra's Wall, Legionnaires including Android Soldiers began to kill every Republican Soldiers and Mages on sight as the soldiers and mages are running away while some stay and fight the invaders until they are dead for the survival of their nation. But they are no match against so many of them. After they defeated the Republic army, they finally occupied Ghirra's Wall and rounded up any survivors to implant them with microbots to turn them against the republic and join hands and be loyal to their new nation known as the Machine Empire.
Meanwhile, another machine army invaded other major cities of the Republic.
They are also terminated communications, messengers, and any possible way so no information will be sent to the authorities.
Then, the whole Machine Army marched to the remaining major cities and then towards the capital of the Republic of Aeltrus for the invasion.
———————————————————————
Above the clouds, Michael and Sebastian's battle was still on-going.
Right now, they were hundreds of kilometers away from their last location, and as they continued to fight, the beautiful nature, villages and towns were desolate from the battle between Demigods.
"I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades!"
From the heaven, thousands of swords were rain down upon Michael, moving to pierced him mercilessly, but Michael, being made out of Primelium, tanked all the swords without a scratch, in response, he extended his palm and a huge ball of energy about the size as a small building was blasted into Sebastian's direction.
"Say 'ello to ma' little friend!" Michael yelled, he shot it as the red ball of energy headed straight towards Sebastian only him easily cut it in half, the two pieces of the energy ball flew in different directions and each of them landed on a mountain, blasting it to oblivion.
Even though he had managed to avoid being hit, the stronger party in this battle was already evident.
On one side, Michael was standing indifferently with his spotless metallic skin. There was no trace of struggle or tension in him, and instead, he seemed like he was simply taking a stroll.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was filled with injuries all over his body. Burns and cuts filled his arms, and his once neat hair was completely messy.
"You're Saint Demigod, but you're quite weak as one. Do you truly want to beat the Supreme Overall's best guard with that little strength?" Michael said arrogantly, which pisses Sebastian more.
Sebastian grunted with a grave expression. Instead of answering, he took advantage of this moment to move his mana through his body in an attempt to recover even a little of his injuries.
"I... will.... not sto-"
Before the Grand Marshal of the Empire could speak more, tens of energy bullets rained down on him, but he easily evaded it and cut a few of them with his sword before standing in front of Michael once again with an angered expression in his face.
"I will not stop until I defend the Empire from the likes of you, Metal Demons! The Empire had lived long since before the Second Great War and you think you had a chance to defeat the two superpowers alone? I know you defeat the Theocracy but they have grown weaker by the years, but the Empire has grown enough to surpass them!"
".....So?"
In an instant, Michael already appeared in front of Sebastian as if he had teleported.
Seeing him moved, Sebastian's expression changed instantly.
Before he could react, Michael used one of his energy swords to cut one of Sebastian's arm, if not for Sebastian to move a few inches sideways, he would've got cutted in half.
Sebastian groaned in pain, even though he lost an arm, he stood strong.
"Mister, you still got a chance to live, only in condition which is to join us. Come on, old man, join the dark side, we have cookies~"
The only response Michael got was silence, Sebatian ignored his statement, clutching his severe hand, he muttered.
"No."
Immediately, Michael felt his systems went alarmed, looking at the source which was the arm, Michael got a bad feeling. And so, he immediately yeeted Sebastian's arm with much force.
And the next instant, the arm exploded, but not a fiery nor a kinetic blast.
It's something entirely different from what Michael expected.
KABOOM!
Sebastian's arm blew itself, the explosion was so powerful that a space vortex was created and swallowed all of the rain clouds, turning the rainy weather into a sunny day within seconds.
Michael felt slightly surprised on seeing this, "Holy shit. That's what you call a Bright idea of a plan you did ther-"
Cutting Michael's words off, Sebastian found this as an opportunity to attack, his severe arm regenerated in a second, he held his sword [Flamma Mortis] before unleashing his special skill.
"[Synthesis]" As he had casted his skill, he then finally used his trump cards.
"[Maximize Magic: Infinite Melt Slash + Absolute Severance!]"
His sword glowed like a star, mixing two powerful skills that could cleave through space and time at tremendous speed, and slaying souls into his sword, he used it all his might to slash Michael, and managed to slice him into two.
This combo attack is an absolutely powerful one, just one slash is enough to kill Demon Lords and True Dragons in one slash unless they have special resistance against it, but knowing this Metal Demon has no magic nor a skill, no doubt he has no resistance against the power of an Ultimate skill.
Thinking he had killed him, Sebastian was about to leave, until he heard... laughter.
"Hahahaha! So is this the feeling of laughter? Man, I've become more human by the day, you really think you have finished me with this pitiful skill?"
"H-How!? You were supposed to-!?"
"Kill me?" As Michael finished his words, his body suddenly recovered itself, with all tue help from little nanobots reconstructing him, "Well, you did cleave through Primelium armor only a few millimeters which is by far the best feat you got, but thinking you managed to slice my soul. Well... think again..... WE HAVE NO SOULS."
Well, what Michael said is indeed true, but even they had no souls to begin with, they had cores to powered them like any robots. However, Michael and the other Elite Androids were different from the other drones Artemis had. Its because these special type of androids had their cores hidden in the Machine Base, because its so big that it can't fit inside to an Elite Android like Michael and Johnathan.
In nervousness, Sebastian yelled at the Android, still without no sign of fear in his face, "Even you beings had no soul, nothing could defend against my ultimate skill!"
Casting another spell, Sebastian casted seven layer pillar of light surrounding Michael, looking at the magic he was surrounded in.
"Behold! [Multi-staged Disintegration!]"
[Disintegration], is the strongest offensive magic among the Holy Magic system, Sebastian learns this skill on the Church of the Rising Sun after being humiliated and defeated by some Pig Beastmen a few years ago and wants to get stronger since then.
Disintegration is an attack that causes spiritron decay within the target. Anything within the area of effect gets erased at the speed of light, and not even souls can avoid annihilation.
While it can destroy anything within its area of effect, Disintegration has a limited range, hence it might have much less effects against targets with considerably large size like monsters.
And when he learned that skill for only a few years, he greatly impressed the Church which they gave him great respect for, and increased the strength of the Empire. Not only could he learn the skill for a short amount of time, but he had managed to create his own.
A new invented skill Sebastian created known as [Multi-Stage Disintegration], while some powerful demigods could take on disintegration. Sebastian discovered a new technique to make the skill surround the target in invisible magic circles then activate all of them at once with a snap of his fingers, leaving the target surrounded on all sides by seven disintegrations that can be fired at will.
Like he was doing right now.
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, all seven disintegrations were about to be fired, and once it activated, Michael might get defeated by it.
However...
"...this is boring." Michael sighed, even though he didn't exhale any carbon dioxide from his mouth.
Suddenly Michael's energy sword glowing brightly, brightened even more till the world seemed to engulf in crimson light.
Staring at him from a distance, although Sebastian couldn't tell what type of attack he was trying to pull off, he could tell that it was no joke. Just from how the space around the sword distorted, it was evident that this attack is dangerous.
The moment the Disintegration skill released its attack, Michael also attacked, but faster than even the skill itself.
Taking a step forward, he slashed downwards.
WIIIING!
To his surprise, the slash looked like any regular slash. There was nothing special about it. No fancy lighting, no space distorting energy blast, or any of those flashy moves that made the attack look spectacular.
It was just a plain downward swing. However, what happened next, completely shocked Sebastian to the core
The second that Michael slashed down, Sebastian could feel space around him suddenly distorted.
"Huh?"
Completely taken off-guard by the changes happening, the moment the space distorted, the moment Sebastian noticed what was happening, his face paled significantly, and a metallic clink sounded.
Clink!
SHIIING!
In an instant, the disintegration skill was suddenly sliced, like pieces of paper, magic in there suddenly became unstable before completely destroyed.
"H-H-How..." Sebastian could only utter a few words, he has absolutely no clue how someone, who has no skill nor magic could cancel an ultimate skill, which is by far unheard of.
"Hm, it looks like you got my respect, Mr. Sebasian." Michael bowed to him like a gentleman, "I thank you for that little fight."
After saying that, his one single eye glowed crimson light, staring at Sebastian like the god of death himself.
"I shall perform this final blow as a parting gift to you..."
Sebastian's face changed. No! No! No! Not that shit again!! Sebastian remembered that time and felt great fear by hearing that single line.
The time where he almost died by a weapon from a pig beastmen, it frightens him the most, that's why he trains himself so hard to reach the Sainthood level!
Transforming his hands into two large blasters, Michael was about to unleash something far worse than any ordinary blast.
"Swallow this!" Michael shouted as he shot his cannon down at Sebastian.
[GIF]
Coming out of the cannon was a ginormous pillar of red energy, with a terrifying power that could sever both of the heaven and earth into two was blasted towards Sebastian, the beam was so massive and traveled so fast that Sebastian couldn't escape in time.
Sebastian's expression turned grave. With no escape, he has no choice but to use his entire mana pool to unleash his strongest defensive move. He knows his lesson but now being as a Saint Demigod, his mana is now countless times stronger than before.
He doesn't know but he is confident enough to hold it.
The massive beam of red energy then clashed against Sebastian's defenses, but instead of destroying them in an instant, it held them off, to Sebastian's delight.
"Yes! YES!! After all those years I could finally get my revenge on that pig-!"
Cutting his words, his barrier shattered, couldn't hold off the devastation of the energy beam possessed.
The moment he learns his barrier shattered, Sebastian realizes that this time, no way could anyone save him, there will be no luck this time, and he has no way to defend himself against it. He is now completely defenseless.
Spreading his arms, Sebastian accepts his fate before being engulfed by the energy beam, causing him to be utterly destroyed at a cellular level. Molecule by molecule. Atom by atom. Not even his soul, and the core deep within were spared.
The massive beam of energy from Michael is so strong that the earth was molten and the compression of air that the beam travels was so fast and forceful that a shockwave of charged plasma was created in its wake. And anyone, despite being thousands of miles away from the battle, were being completely blown away by the resulting shockwave.
When the light dies down, Michael could see the aftermath. And for one, the entire landscape in front of him is now completely eviscerated. Countless mountains were utterly erased from the world as the path of devastation had no end, even Michael zoomed his visions thousands of miles ahead, but still, there is no end.

"Hm... I must've overdone it. Maybe I shouldn't put it on 30%, I think a bit at a little lower setting." Michael murmured, as he was about to leave, he spotted the weapon that was held by his opponent, he might have missed it when he unleashed his destructive weapon.
Picking it up from the ground, Michael inspected it with interest.
"Hm, according to some memories of some Imperial Soldiers, this is an S-rank weapon, [Flamma Mortis], I don't know if its some coincidence but this is translates from latin to "Flame of Death", which belong to the owner of an individual from a Christian religion, Archangel Michael."
But then, if Michael had an eye, he would've widened it in surprise.
"Wait a minute, isn't it another coincidence that my name is Michael and I held the Sword of Michael? Wow... I guess fate wants me to take this weapon, now I'm keeping this." Michael excitedly said, deciding to keep the weapon for himself unless he gets the permission from his commander.
