Battle was raging in full force.

Being a pivotal battle that had the potential to be a turning point in this futile war, the alliance had brought out many of its hidden cards.

And the scale of the battle could no longer be contained on ground.

Multiple massive explosions rang out from all sides. Thousands of 4th-class existences fought with their lives on the line. In that atmosphere, it was impossible for the terrain to stay undamaged.

It started small, with craters and cracks littering the ground. But as damage piled up over days and days of fighting, it couldn't stay so simple.

BOOOOOM!

Unable to bear the force of the battle, the world it was taking place on cracked in half. The World Core collapsed without its outer shell, causing a massive explosion that sent shockwaves through the starry sky.

Hundreds of 4th classes and 3rd classes numbering even greater perished with the world. Only those who were able to use spatial transmission equipment to leave the blast range were able to keep their lives.

It was a truly hellish battle. Even after the world exploded, it didn't end. The setting was simply changed to a battle within the starry sky, where such environmental damage wouldn't be a problem.

But there was a single part of the battlefield that all eyes watched. Regardless of which side won the battle, the results there would decide it all.

A single elf with an ornate bow in hand stood tall. His proud back seemed to carry the weight of the world. His aura radiated determination and power. But considering the opponent in front of him, his momentum wasn't able to go far.

It was another man, his skin black like ink. His stature was massive, being 10 meters tall with equally broad shoulders. He didn't radiate aura or have powerful momentum. One would simply think he was a giant who never even leveled up once. That is, if they didn't know his status.

A true Demigod, a man who had attained Divinity. He wasn't the type of man that mortals like them could fathom.

But that elf stood in front of him without any fear on his face.

"You could have ascended after shedding your mortality, so why did you decide to stay?" He asked.

The Demigod looked at the ant in front of him curiously. "Is that the last thing you desire to know before death?"

"Well, if you don't wish to answer any other questions, then it'd be the last thing you answer before death as well. Choose wisely."

"Hahahaha! What a bold child. With you standing in front of me like this, you clearly understand your situation. Yet, you still have the nerve to talk about killing me? How interesting!"

"Yes, I understand my situation clearly. But it seems you aren't the same. I wonder if anyone will miss you when you're gone?"

The Demigod frowned. Taking the words of an ant seriously wasn't something he would ever do, but being looked down on by someone so much weaker than him wasn't something he would tolerate.

"A single slap. That is all it will take to kill you. Allow me to enlighten you on the difference between one who has achieved Divinity and one who hasn't."

The Demigod raised his hand lightly and waved it. There wasn't a trace of mana in his movements, but it still gave off an aura of Godhood that the elf couldn't comprehend.

Whoosh! BOOOOOOM!

The whipping of spatial wind due to the force of his hand was the first sound to be heard. In the next instant, a continent-sized crater was indented in a nearby planet.

Shock.

Although they had expected the difference between mortals and Gods to be vast, not a single person expected it to be to such a degree. After all, Demigods never had a reason to show their true strength.

It wasn't just the fact that he could cause continental destruction from such distance that shocked them. It was the fact that he could do it seemingly without even mobilizing a hint of mana.

The elf gripped his bow until blood leaked from his palms. This situation…he didn't know if it would go at all how they had planned it.

But at the same time, it was a somewhat expected outcome. That was a Divinity in front of him. He expected nothing less.

'I wanted to at least preserve my life for a little while before finishing things, but it seems that won't be possible.'

The elf resolved himself once again. Soon, the blood and mana in his body began burning. He drew his bow and knocked an arrow even as his life force depleted at an astonishing rate.

Blood-red essence mixed in with his naturally green mana as the arrow fired. Even when compared to his full power, this arrow was far greater.

BANG!

It reached the Demigod before an instant could pass, exploding on his chest and knocking him back.

But the elf didn't stop firing. He chased the Demigod's body and continuously shot arrows using his blood vitality to increase his power.

But he could see it.

Those arrows weren't actually doing any damage to the Demigod's body. And if it wasn't for the latter's arrogance, they wouldn't have even been able to reach him.

But that didn't stop the elf.

His original goal was never to kill. All he was doing was stalling for time.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Even though space itself was a void where sound couldn't travel, mana was different. Sound could easily travel through the volatile mana that resided in the starry sky.

And perhaps because of its volatile nature, the sound of those impacts was especially glaring.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Arrows kept firing and impacting the Demigod's body. Meanwhile, the Demigod himself watched on with interest.

It wasn't like he cared for the task he was assigned. In fact, it was below him to even be sent to a battlefield like this one. But there was such an entertaining ant in front of him, he wanted to see how far his opponent would go before realizing the futility of his actions.

It was a simple curiosity towards a lesser being.

BOOOM!

The Demigod's rocket-like body fell into the atmosphere of a nearby planet. Within seconds, it impacted the ground, sending a shockwave into the earth that caused mountains to rise and seas to dry.

But oddly enough, a single organism managed to survive the impact.

It was a tree thousands of kilometers away. A massive tree that emanated rich vitality and had a gait that pierced the heavens.

BANG!

An arrow pierced the world's atmosphere like a bloody shooting star, accurately pinpointing the fallen body of the Demigod and attempting to pierce it.

But just like every other attempt, it ended in futility.

The elf soon appeared in the air. Blood leaked from his pores like rivers, his skin was dried and cracked and his eyes were so bloodshot that they looked as if they were on the verge of exploding.

The Demigod smiled when he saw it. Standing up, he patted himself down to get rid of the debris that had covered him during the altercation.

"You don't look so good." He commented casually, observing the surrounding environment.

The elf didn't respond. Or rather, he couldn't. His body was in no condition for him to make extraneous movements.

Instead, he simply knocked another arrow.
