Chapter 678: Ruthless & Decisive
Vitalis’ expression suddenly changed, turning from fear to confusion, to madness and greed. Then, he roared: "Hahaha, I, the great and mighty Bulzeebub, have returned." However, the Seven Sin Devil did not have much time to celebrate his revival when he felt the threat of imminent death.
He looked at the dazzling purple light heading toward him and cursed violently. Beelzebub summoned the projection of a horrifying creature with a mouth larger than its entire face, trying to swallow the attack. Unfortunately for him, Vitalis had lost access to his dimension, which also meant losing access to his authority.
Beelzebub can be said to have successfully swallowed most of the attack. However, the damage he suffered was also severe. His right arm and left leg were gone, and purple energy veins ran through his entire body.
"Who did this?" he roared. Unfortunately, the answer he received was that he was being surrounded by more than a dozen purple orbs that formed an encirclement around him. Beelzebub looked at the circles, then at Edward. ’Sorcerer, don’t you dare —"
The purple obs launched a barrage of destruction energy, erasing Beelzebub and Vitalis from the face of the universe. Normally, Edward would try to turn his opponent into a specimen to study, but he could not take the risk. He had barely defeated his opponent, so how could he control the latter for a dissection?
"That’s one down," Edward muttered, his face paler than the purest snow. He conjured a potion and swallowed it. While recuperating, he finally had the time to observe the situation. He first received a report from Hawkeye regarding the infiltration team’s situation.
"It’s good that they survived and returned successfully," he replied. As for the remaining situation, Odin was the only one barely holding on. So, he decided to help them first. He once again used the Anti-Life Equation, but this time around, it was on a mass scale. Edward tapped as much of his energy reserve as he could to ensure the spell worked, and it did.
With one move, he controlled half of all the Tier 10 Demon Gods on the enemy side. He ordered the Kryptonian Legion to deal with the people who were not controlled, while ordering the rest to focus on Odin.
Evil Odin calmly watched himself being surrounded. Watch may not be the right word, since both his eyes were missing, leaving empty sockets that created an eerie atmosphere. Adding on his black Asgardian Armor and Black Spear, he was intimidating to anyone.
"You should surrender," Odin said, trying to persuade his variant.
"You have not yet won this battle," Odin said in a gravelly voice.
"I guess you’re as stubborn as I," Odin sighed before going on the offensive. Edward ordered his mind puppets to assist before casting healing spells on the Ancient One and Ra. He then joined everybody in ganging up on Evil Odin.
