About halfway through my battle with Black, the advantage was beginning to shift to one side.
Nearly half of the world Black created had been overtaken by white spiders.
At that point, it was only a matter of time before the tide turned in my favor.
Black was weaker than I expected, to be honest.
Or I guess I should say he was weakened.
He seems to have used up a lot of energy before the battle even started.
I’m guessing he shoved all of it into the system.
Which means while I was whining about how scary and impossible and stressful this fight was, he was practically running on fumes the whole time.
Yikes, talk about embarrassing!
Sure, Black is a more powerful god than I am, but obviously I can still beat him if he’s got barely any energy left in the tank!
In fact, he must not have been taking me very seriously if he thought he could fight me in that condition, huh?
Bwa-ha-ha! You’ll pay for that insult with your LIFE!
But just as I was getting all excited by my imminent victory, I noticed some changes back on the ground.
See, before I got tossed into this parallel dimension, I left myself a bit of a backup plan.
Namely, the clone I used to teleport Yamada to the love nest (LOL).
I stuck that little spider to Yamada so I could eavesdrop and sneak peeks on everything he heard and saw.
And what do you know, things got real weird real fast.
First of all, Yamada somehow escaped the love nest (LMAO) lickety-split.
I mean, using a familiar contract connection to teleport to someone? That’s not a thing.
Why was the old geezer able to pull off something so insane?
Is that weird or what?
Seriously, it’s just plain wrong.
And then Yamada starts in on this stupid, melodramatic “I’ll never give up!” nonsense?
I mean, sure, good for you?
Like, yeah, go right ahead! Whatever!
Then he marches right into the Word of God church and meets with the pontiff, and somehow gets some of the ancient dragons on his side.
Um, why?
Then they start wandering around with no real plan in mind, only to conveniently bump into Ms. Oka and the crew, and then you get this whole “The evil god was really D all along!” “Say whaaat?!”
Seriously, whaaat…?
Look, I’m just as surprised as you are.
So that’s when I decided to propose a truce with Black.
And so on and so forth.
I’m not a great speaker, you know!
Seriously, it took a long time just to get him to understand that I was saying we should stop fighting!
And then it took even longer to explain WHY!
In the meantime, Yamada and pals had a whole telepathic conference, met up in the Great Elroe Labyrinth, went to the system core, and managed to make their way to D!
Slow down! This is happening too fast!
Have a little consideration for my total inability to explain myself, please!
Especially when I have to do it in the middle of a big epic battle?!
This is waaay too hard!
Are you trying to make me cry?
Not to mention, you realize I put a ton of work into preparing for this fight, right?
Do you have any idea how it feels to have to drop all that and announce a truce when I barely even know what’s going on?
For real, do you want me to cry?
Especially when I was all pumped up ’cause I was just about to win?
I could cry! You wanna see me cry? ’Cause I’m gonna cry!
Which is why I’m gonna take all of that rage out on D now.
Seems like justified retaliation to me.
So yeah, hello again, time to die!
I teleport right in front of D’s face and hit her with the giant scythe, BAM!
Oh, I managed to summon my scythe right before I came here.
If I’d gotten it a little sooner, that would’ve made my fight with Black a whole lot easier…
But I guess we’ll call it even, since I was able to summon it in time to lay the smackdown on D.
I would’ve liked to wait for the perfect moment to show up all cool-like and save everybody’s butt at the last second, except it kinda looked like the Demon Lord was gonna use Humility if I waited any longer.
So I’m just gonna use my super-speed to go BING, BANG, BOOM!
Sorry, Ms. D, you don’t even get to talk anymore.
Your body regenerates super fast?
Then I’ll just have to keep going BAM! until you can’t regenerate anymore, period!
Hiyah! The BAM! won’t stop till I see you cry! Got it?!
This scythe is my ultimate weapon, you know!
A single hit would probably be enough to deal some serious damage even to Black, and I’m smacking her with it over and over like it’s nothing at all!
Hell, even I would probably die without being able to regenerate or anything under this onslaught, but I’m not letting up.
I doubt it’ll be enough to finish off that darn D!
So I’m gonna keep it up anyway just in case it works, camping her body and destroying it again every time she tries to regenerate!
Mwa-ha-ha!
Hope you like getting spawnkilled, ’cause I’m keeping this up until the end of the world!
“I’d really rather you didn’t take it that far, hmm?”
A voice speaks up behind me.
Okay, let’s put a hold on the BAM! for now!
D’s body somehow disappeared while I was repeatedly turning her into mincemeat.
Dammit, she’s good…
