"!!!" It turned out they were trying to trick each other by using several layers of attacks but ended up getting fired back right after.
The Blood God narrowed his eyes and decided to observe Alaya's expression first to see if she had more tricks on her sleeve.
"Come, come. Let's fight again, I wonder who will come at the top. In the past, I couldn't do it, so I'm curious whether you're worthy of being my opponent." Alaya smiled, perfectly fine.
The Blood God felt chill down his spine because he just lost his connection to her blood.
Meanwhile, Alaya also felt the movement of her blood. The Blood God really tried to stir up the blood inside her body, but the Life Energy supported the blood while the Death Energy destroyed the energy that wanted to control them. Hence, Alaya was perfectly fine against this enemy.
"To be honest, fighting you is my decision. I've seen your ability in the past. Although it's only a bit of your power, I've understood the most important thing against you. The Time God actually used his power to stop the time of his and the Dungeon's Blood to prevent you from controlling it. Then, the Evil God and Demon God will try to attack them.
"As for the Vampire Goddess… That brat, who couldn't even become a God King in the past? Should I even care about her? No, I should say, you seem to be underestimating the God of Destruction that much. His potential is far beyond your imagination… No, should I say that his full potential is at the same level as the Sword God?" Alaya smiled.
"Impossible!" The Blood God denied it, but he then asked himself a question. 'Eh? Why did she say something like this during our fight? Is she implying that the Vampire Goddess will be defeated within a few minutes and the God of Destruction will help her?
'No, it's impossible. Vampire Goddess is a strong God King. I've personally seen her power. It's impossible to defeat her easily. Besides, even if she is defeated, there's no telling that the God of Destruction will come here.
'And… If he helps the other battlefields, the situation will become even worse for us. In this case, I should finish my fight as soon as possible.' After deciding what to do, the Blood God released all his power at once.
The Blood began to permeate his surroundings. His eyes turned red and released the bloodlust.
"Blood Enhancement."
Suddenly, the Blood God disappeared with speed faster than before.
"Stimulating your blood to gain an additional strength and speed, huh?" Alaya said cooly while knowing the Blood God was already behind her, punching her right on the back of her head.
He blew her away until she crashed to a planet and went straight to her to add another strike. However, he noticed that his lifespan was reduced again. He gritted his teeth and looked at the Life and Death Coffin.
The information about that coffin was still fresh in his mind. The coffin itself was known to be unbreakable because it was the materialization of Alaya's existence. The only way to destroy that coffin was to kill Alaya, so he decided to ignore it this whole time. No, the Metal God or any other fighters that attacked her in the past also did the same because of the exact reason.
He gritted his teeth and flew to the planet.
The next second, the planet cracked because he just created massive destruction, turning the ground into a massive crater that could be easily seen from outer space.
Alaya was still there, getting pounded continuously without fighting back.
The Blood God kept hitting her without any care since he was winning… Or so he thought.
Once again, Alaya surpassed his imagination because her body was splattered like it was destroyed. Yet, the Blood God felt uncomfortable before leaping back to outer space. He didn't know why but he was close to death at that moment. "What just happened?"
Alaya, whose body only remained the lower half, suddenly recovered in an instant as if she rewind time.
Looking at her topless body, she quickly made another shirt before looking at the Blood God and appearing right in front of him.
"That hurts you know…" She scratched the back of her head as if nothing happened.
"You… You… What are you?!" The Blood God shivered, finding that Alaya's energy didn't even decrease after doing such damage.
"You really don't know anything, aren't you?" She shook her head and said, "I'm not a human. I'm known as Blood Shaman who doesn't have my own body."
If Alex were here, he would think of her statement about her Law. She said she had experienced dying and reincarnating a few times. And Life and Death was a combination of her experience, existence, and understanding. He would realize what it meant when he fought her.
But the Blood God was simply clueless about it. She graciously explained while buying time, "I'm an artificial life. As long as I have enough energy, I can keep reincarnating my body. Although the body needs to die first, I'm practically immortal.
"That's why I was known as the most mysterious God King since a few thousand years ago, I didn't use this body. I'm the oldest among God Kings, experiencing and watching Life and Death pass by every time to the point I gained that kind of insight.
"My offensive power might not be that great since I could only rely on my Life and Death Coffin, but only a few people could actually kill me. Only a being like Sword God, Fire God, and the current Spirit God could kill me. And the reason why I have so many praises to the God of Destruction is due to his power. Yes, his power has the ability to kill me as well. That's why I'm placing my bet on him.
"Unfortunately for you, you don't have the ability to kill me. The furthest you can do is to seal me with your power like how the Dungeon God and Time God tried to do it when they fought me. Well, unfortunately, you've your time. No, should I say you're wasting too much time on me?" Alaya smiled mysteriously.
Suddenly, another person came onto the battlefield. Alaya glanced at that person while the Blood God turned around, finding a muscular man who appeared right next to him.
"Wha—" The Blood God couldn't even react because he never expected there was another man who appeared in their fight. And the one who showed up was none other than the one who fought the Vampire Goddess, the God of Destruction, Raiju.
"Thank you for your advice, Life and Death Goddess. Let me repay that advice by helping you in this fight." As he said it, Raiju already sent a fist right at the Blood God's face. "Fist of Destruction."
The Blood God gritted his teeth and used his blood to smear it on Raiju's hand, but as one would expect from someone who handled the Vampire Goddess who used a similar technique, Raiju quickly removed the bloodstain without hesitation.
"What?!" The Blood God widened his eyes even though his face got disfigured.
Meanwhile, Alaya raised her vision, finding that her Life and Death Coffin's count had been reduced drastically.
"You!" The Blood God tried to create another blood soldier to stop him while shouting, "You've killed the Vampire Goddess?"
Raiju simply snorted and waved his hand, destroying the blood soldier with his Destruction. "She was too easy for me. I didn't even need a long time to kill her."
"Oh!" Alaya smiled and said, "I'm glad that my advice can make you this powerful. Congratulations."
"Thanks!" Raiju nodded and charged at the Blood God, planning to kill him.
Alaya also made her move by summoning a giant sphere formed by her Life Energy. "Life Cage."
The Blood God narrowed his eyes and tried to attack the cage, but Raiju already arrived in front of him, sending another punch. "Fist of Destruction."
"Blood Plant." The blood on his face bloomed like a flower and tried to stop that punch.
He seemed to have successfully stopped him because Raiju actually stopped on his track, not finishing his fist. Yet, the power of destruction flew out of his hand and burst out to the front.
Boom.
The Blood God was launched before the entire body disappeared because of the Decaying Power.
It reduced his lifespan tremendously, but Alaya realized the Blood God had yet to die.
The next time he appeared, he already went around Raiju and planned to kill him from behind.
"Hahaha! You're good, God of Destruction, but it's time for you to die." The Blood God laughed in frustration. He just wanted to believe everything Alaya told him earlier was a lie by killing the God of Destruction.
Unfortunately for him, when he was about to kill Raiju, Alaya's voice resounded in his head. "Nope. You're going to die."
"Life and Death Cycle. Unending Samsara."
"Wait, you're going to hit the God of Destruction too." The Blood God shouted when he saw Alaya swinging her scythe.
However, before the two could react, Alaya already completed her swing right at their necks. Even Raiju was dumbstruck by her action, wondering if Alaya actually wanted him to die.
But all his assumptions were broken when he realized his head still remained. He turned around to see the Blood God, who happened to be in the same condition, but he unintentionally glanced at the Life and Death Coffin.
The number went right to "0" in an instant before the Life and Death Coffin opened its lid, releasing a huge amount of Death Energy.
"Alright. It's time to put you into the coffin." Alaya smirked. "Just so you know, my Death Scythe is used to harm the soul that has been marked by the Life and Death Coffin, so it won't harm my allies even if I slash them a few times. And this technique… is the technique to reincarnate me into another lifeform… It's a perfect name, isn't it? Unending Samsara… Well, I'm tired of doing it again and want to die in this life properly.
"That's why I made an agreement with the Spirit God to have my own retirement life for one or two thousand years before asking him to kill me with his power. I have no more purpose in this life since I can't even reach the next level despite living for so long… Sigh, my talent is the worst among the God King, isn't it?"
"Oi, oi. Don't talk about such a scary thing and replace it with your philosophical thinking. I thought I was going to die." Raiju started sweating. To think Alaya would be a sadist that made one's heart beat crazily, he was speechless.
However, he couldn't even joke around with her as the Blood God suddenly screamed in agony.
"Argh! What is this? Wait, something is pulling me." The Blood God gritted his teeth and flew away from the coffin, but he couldn't muster any power from his body as if no Divine Energy remained in his body.
Ultimately, he got dragged inside the coffin while shouting, "Old haaaaaagggg…" and the lid was closed again as the situation turned tranquil.
"You sure about that joke earlier?"
"Haha, young man, it's a joke, okay? It's a popular joke in the past, you know." Alaya shrugged while chuckling.
"I never knew that the past was actually joking about your life like this. It seems you all were crazier than me. And by the way, which era was the past you are talking about?" Raiju squinted his eyes, looking at Alaya with a prying look since she said she was the oldest God King.
"If we were not crazy, we wouldn't pursue the strength to the extreme and become that strong. And I won't tell you about it since even I feel a bit offended when people mention my age, you know. Bad boy."
Raiju smiled and closed his eyes for a second before opening it again while saying with a playful tone, "Old hag."
"I didn't need your help in this fight, you brat!"
