Chapter 388 - Forbidden One's Ego Rematch 4

-----

The Forbidden One's Ego entire body began to slowly compact itself, gathering into a single and large body instead of an expansive mass of limbs and black ooze, which was way better to fight against these strong enemies, he had to compact his strength in a single and more well-structured body, but because he was made out of pieces, it was very hard to assemble them together into some sort of form that could maintain itself, and it was a taxing job for him…!

However, at long last, all of his power finally gathered together, as an aura of darkness and void surged from within his humanoid-shaped appearance! A menacing dark knight emerged; a grotesque bug-like knight covered in an exoskeleton made of dark metal.

The Forbidden One's Ego had finally compacted his power. His previous form, although it was often used to go "all out" was mostly used out of desperation, and even when he laughed at Chaos almost killing him, he was pretending to be fine so Chaos wouldn't be able to detect his weaknesses. However, such a form was out of desperation to maintain himself alive, the enormous attack that Chaos had used back then, which he had not tried again which made the Forbidden One's Ego assume that it couldn't be conjured all the time, had almost killed the Forbidden One's Ego, but thanks to this form, he had been able to survive barely. And now that he could finally go back to a compact form which would offer more speed and raw concentrated power, he finally felt like he could have a greater chance at surviving and even defeating the two foes in front of him.

Chaos looked into the Forbidden One's Ego's body, it reminded him of how he looked before, in the first time he meet him, the Forbidden One's Ego resembled a tall bug-like humanoid covered in black metallic exoskeleton, he even had wings and was completely hideous, but now he seemed to be more regal, his appearance had become more refined, and he looked menacing and powerful. The thin arms, legs, and body became larger, he had four pairs of muscular arms covered in this exoskeleton that resembled a dark armor, and his head was also covered by the exoskeleton, giving the Forbidden One's Ego the appearance of wearing a malefic black helmet.

The rest of his body was clad in this black-colored metallic exoskeleton armor, as he had two large black-colored moth-like wings which had several red-colored eyes, and the claws of each of his arms was sharp like blades and as pointy as spears. With his bare claws he was more than capable of ripping someone apart into shreds if he ever wanted to do so. And his crimson-red eyes shone brightly beneath the black helmet… Chaos and Abyss looked at him with contempt but didn't thought a single second more than that and decided to attack him with everything they had, they were not in the mood to let such a bastard like him to get away with boosting his power in front of their faces!

Chaos gathered his powers as he covered his entire body with cosmic energy and then decided to unleash a new Skill he had acquired, Cosmic Embodiment! Through this Skill, Chaos was able to embody and materialize all the cosmic energy within his soul and cover his body with it, resembling a being made of pure nebulas and cosmic essence, which shone brightly with the many starlight that covered his entire body. A bluish black armor emerged above his body, the materialization of this cosmic essence made into a metallic and hard element, which quickly covered the entire cosmic embodiment, turning completely into an armor! This wasn't thanks to the skill alone, but Chaos had activated his Armor-creation Skills and fused their effects together with the Skill, attaining this appearance! His helmet resembled a roaring dragon!

"I also go the same trick." Said Chaos, a second after, he reached the Forbidden One's Ego and clashed against him, his claws slashed through his hard armor and his kicks began to break through his defenses, his movements were precise and amazingly powerful his punches, kicks, and even headbutts all combined together with the essence of cosmos and chaos, converging together into a spiral of darkness and cosmic light!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Guuooohhh?!" Roared the Forbidden One's Ego, completely and utterly surprised by Chaos incredible movements, he had suddenly become way better than before, and he was simply attacking physically without any fancy attacks! He was already trying out elements once more, but they were being negated by the Forbidden One's Ego's powers, which were the same powers he used back then to corner Chaos into abusing his raw strength and insane regeneration to somehow pull out a victory, although that was also thanks to Aruliel's help.

The Forbidden One's Ego didn't falter, however, although he roared in surprise and was quite overwhelmed by Chaos initial attack, he quickly began to fight back, his movements were just as precise and his body shapeshifted around sometimes, as his hands turned into sharp scythes and tried to slash through Chaos body, an other times a long tail would emerge from his back and attack Chaos with a strong whipping blow, amongst many other movements that seemed to work very well at putting Chaos into some struggles!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!

Their claws clashed against one another, generating deafening sounds of metals hitting against one another, which made the air around tremble and vibrate with loud sounds, Abyss looked at the scene for a bit as her grotesque body expanded and suddenly divided itself into a clone!

"Stay here and maintain the Domain, protect yourself behind the spatial layers!" Said Abyss, as her clone nodded and suddenly disappeared out of thin air, moving into the spatial layers dimension which the Forbidden One's Ego seemed to not be able to detect. Abyss quickly wielded her spear once more as her body was covered in an armor made of her hardened black ooze, which she used to reinforce her defenses. She flew down below in a flash of cosmic light and darkness spiraling together, and while Chaos had the Forbidden One's Ego cornered, Abyss clashed against him in the back, using her spear to pierce through his body several times!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Unnggh…!"

The Forbidden One's Ego roared in pain as he tried to move away from Abyss' spear range, but it only got worse as Chaos was there to intercept him, moving his fists at flashing speeds as cosmic light was unleashed with every single one of his fist's attacks, clashing over his body all while Abyss caught up to him again and began to pierce through his entire body once more, attempting to slash his head off, and accomplishing it!

SLAAASH!

Abyss had managed to slash the head off the Forbidden One's Ego! The powerful spear that Chaos had forged for her was able to even pierce through the hard exoskeleton formed by the fragments that the Forbidden One's Ego had accumulated which he enhance with his malefic dark energies as long as Abyss unleashed her strongest techniques and put up all the cosmic energy and mana, she could against him, and at long last, his head flew right off his body!

"You think chopping my head can stop me?!"

However, the Forbidden One's Ego spoke back to Abyss, shocking her! Of course, something so obvious as having his head chopped off wasn't going to be lethal for a being that could spread around and expand across as much as he wanted! It was utterly stupid to think that such an attack would actually work, of course. His head could be chopped off, his entire body could be sliced into pieces and he would be able to survive anyways as he was a being that was not ruled by something as vital as having a weakness!

Abyss however was not shocked, she knew that wouldn't work, but she went for his head only to humiliate him and… well, to test the slicing power of her new spear, it was enough to chop his head off, so it was also able to do more if she pushed it further! Abyss was actually afraid the spear would break like it once did with Achlys, but now she was sure that Kosmos was not as fragile, and was made to be incredibly resilient as one of its greatest traits by Chaos!
