The monitor screen displaying Lucifer's perfect face suddenly went black. David turned his face away, his jaw hardening. The blinding white light from the screen seemed to still burn his retinas.

"We return to Nova Vexley now," David ordered coldly, wiping the remaining black blood from his chin. "That false angel has just beaten the drums of a war we cannot win with our fists."

Mei Lin nodded quickly. "The plane is ready, David. Let's leave this disgusting place."

  • Resetting the Planet

    The colossal sword of pitch-black fire cleaved through the toxic Antarctic air, plunging downward with a speed that seemed to tear through space and time. Trapped within Arthur's magma grip, David Vexley had absolutely no room to dodge. The sheer heat radiating from the blade was already scorching the last remnants of oxygen from his lungs."DID YOU REALLY THINK I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, ARTHUR?!" David roared, enduring the excruciating pain.He did not close his eyes. The Gauntlet of Six Sins on his right arm emitted a deafening resonance. The Gemstones of Pride and Greed flared in unison, radiating a blinding white and gold light. David focused all of that cosmic energy into a single point within his clenched fist.Right before the sword could cleave his head in two, David drove the gauntlet straight into Arthur's giant thumb that was locking him in place.BOOOOM!A massive explosion of energy erupted from the point of impact. Arthur's magma-stone

  • The Failed Negotiation

    "Just you, me, and the total erasure of existence."David's words hung in the boiling air. All around him, seawater vapor hissed loudly due to the extreme temperature radiating from Arthur's giant body. The hurricane winds created by the intense heat whipped volcanic dust in all directions, covering the sky with a thick, suffocating grey veil.Arthur, the living magma mountain, fell silent for a moment. His giant, glowing red eyes stared at David with a mix of pure hatred and a tightly concealed sense of awe. He realized something was different about his brother. David no longer radiated wild, unstable energy like when they fought in the Vatican. David's aura now felt dense, calm, and incredibly deadly, like a black hole absorbing all surrounding light."Total erasure of existence, you say?" Arthur's voice echoed from deep within his churning stone chest, vibrating the ocean surface and forming ripples that threatened the island in the distance. "You are too confident, David! Do you t

  • The Apocalypse Giant

    "Sleep time is over, Brother! Open the door, or I will flatten this cage of yours along with everything inside it!" Arthur's roar pierced the protective dome, vibrating David's ribs.David Vexley stood stiffly in front of the remnants of the balcony window that had shattered into pieces. Out there, the scene presented truly defied human sanity and logic, even by the standards of a god Avatar. Arthur did not bring fighter jets, aircraft carriers, or tens of thousands of heavily armed mercenaries. He did not need any of those at all.Arthur came alone. However, his form was now the size of the Alps.The giant body was forged from pitch-black volcanic rock combined with flows of boiling magma at every joint. His face, once adorned with a signature European aristocratic smile, had now turned into a continuously melting demonic mask; black fire spewed from his eye sockets and mouth every time he exhaled. The Pacific Ocean beneath his feet evaporated with an incredibl

  • The Ritual of the Seven Sins

    "He wants us isolated with no way out, waiting for the final execution when he comes himself to sever my head."David's words hung in the boiling air of the balcony. Outside, the night sky was filled with lava and fire continuously bombarding the six-colored dome holding back the apocalypse.Suddenly, David let out a stifled groan. He fell to one knee. The black gauntlet on his right arm emitted wild electrical sparks. The six sin gemstones on the back of his hand blinked unstably, as if refusing to be united in one vessel. The veins in David's neck bulged black, pumping blood that felt like molten lava."This gauntlet is destroying your body's cells from the inside, Mr. Vexley!" Madame Wu exclaimed, rushing to examine David's arm without daring to touch it directly. "Six laws of the universe are colliding in your veins. Pride rejects Envy, Greed tries to swallow Sloth. If they are not harmonized immediately, your arm will explode before Arthur even touches this

  • Building the Absolute Defense

    The searing heat penetrating the glass walls of the Nova Vexley palace caused evacuation alarms to blare simultaneously across the entire island. Sirens wailed, cutting through the panic. The giant black fireballs plummeted with an ear-splitting roar, threatening to wipe the artificial island off the world map in a matter of seconds."Franky! Raise the shield power to maximum level!" David commanded, his voice overpowering the roar of the apocalypse outside."I can't, Dave!" Franky shrieked while typing frantically on an emergency console he had pulled from the wall. "The temperature of those projectiles exceeds plasma! Our energy shield is designed to withstand human kinetic and nuclear attacks, not pure hell magic! The shield will melt on the very first impact!"The bulletproof glass in front of them began to warp and drip like wax. Elena hugged Arthur the Second, while Isabella and Mei Lin stood in front of them as a futile human shield.David realized

  • Return Home

    The communication channel cut off completely with a burst of static that destroyed Franky's tank speakers. David Vexley stood in silence amidst the Antarctic blizzard. He stared at the sky that seemed to drip blood. There was no avenue for negotiation. There was no more political intrigue. Only absolute destruction awaited them at home."We go home now," David commanded, breaking the freezing silence, his breath forming a thick mist in the air. "Pull back all troops. Prepare the air armada. We don't have much time."The journey back to Nova Vexley was filled with a suffocating silence. There was no celebration over the fall of Lucifer. The Morning Star, now stripped of his pride, was dragged into an isolation cell in the belly of the plane, crying like a child who had lost his toy. Yet, the victory felt hollow because the shadow of Arthur Vexley still lurked in every breath they took.They arrived at the artificial island when dawn should have been breaking, but
