Chapter 793: The End

Uvish felt a lot of energy being pulled toward Billy. Even the heat and the poison in the area were being gathered around him. He realized that Billy was using Absolute Conversation and using all forms of energy to fuel his mana. At the same time, Billy's body began to crack. From those cracks, Uvish saw a faint blue glow. It didn't take long for him to understand that Billy was Transforming that whole body into a magic core.    

Immediately, Uvish tries to smash him with his head, but Billy's body becomes ethereal and then immune to physical attacks. Uvish turned his scales into small magic cores as well and then tried again. Thanks to it, Billy's was hit and sent flying to the distance… Billy's barrier saved him again, but at the cost of some of his body that had become a core. A finger size mana crystal dropped from his chest and then became dust.    

"We can do something about your soul as long as you keep your heart and brain intact, don't turn them into crystalized mana," The time spirit said.    

"That is good to know. Still, how long my brain and heart can keep working inside a body made of crystalized mana?" Billy asked.    

"Perhaps as long as much this planet can last…" The time spirit replied.    

"In that case, let's hope that this will be enough," Billy said and then recovered his body with the anti-magic barrier.    

Billy's skin had also turned into crystalized mana, and thanks to that, Billy's magic power skyrocketed. He could drain more mana from the environment. Still, with each strike and damage that the barrier receives, the crystalized body will also suffer damage directly. That transformation truly was a double-edged sword…    

This time, Uvish finally began to move toward Billy, and even with that size, his speed was surreal… From a distance, he began to fire those beams of energy that created massive nuclear-like explosions whenever they hit something, but Billy managed to dodge those. His magic power also increased his speed, and he used that to fly toward the enemy.    

Uvish increased the gravitational field to make Billy slower, but he completely absorbed the energy around him. Even from the gravitational field… When Billy got close enough, he turned his arms into blades again, and this time, Uvish attacked him with a quick succession of headbutts. Billy's blades didn't cause much damage, thanks to the scales, but he hasn't pushed away either.    

Things changed when more heads fired the energy beam. The number quickly increased to twenty-five, so Billy was sent flying to the distance, and the enemy followed him until he began to spin like before. Eventually, Billy turned around and then flew toward the enemy, and while Uvish tried to hit him, Billy's speed had increased too much, and he was too small of a target.    

Uvish also could sense more and more mana being gathered around Billy, so he made his decision. Instead of attacking him, he used those twenty-five heads to attack the planet again. Billy clicked his tongue when he saw that, and he flew as quickly as possible to leave the stratosphere.    

"I don't want to fight in outer space, but it is better than letting this asshole keep destroying this solar system…" Billy thought.    

Naturally, Uvish followed him, and then they saw that planet exploding into uncountable pieces while they were flying away… Billy felt all that mana of that planet disappearing… and while it didn't have human-like life, it must have some animals and plants that could only be found there… the senseless destruction pissed Billy even more…    

While Billy was controlling his anger, he saw Uvish using his magic. They had to dodge a lot of the vestiges of that planet that exploded, but Uvish made some of them stop around. Billy already knew what he wanted to do, but…    

Billy looked around and saw the sun of that Solar system. Throwing Uvish there probably would be the best way to defeat him, but he might get killed, and Billy's body destroyed. It was better to be more cautious with the body his parents gave him.    

As usual, Uvish started to bombard Billy with his energy beams. Billy flew around while he approached and dodged them. Until one large rock suddenly flew toward him. It was a fragment of that world, and Billy frowned when he saw that half of it was basically some sort of silver-like mineral… It looked pretty sharp, but…    

"I see…" Billy thought.    

Uvish used that tactic again and again. Gave Billy the chance to approach him with the beams of light, and when he got too close, he suddenly used Telekinesis to smash him with a massive boulder. Billy dodged them several times, but eventually, he got hit… The impact pushed Billy away, but not for long. He immediately cut the boulder with his magic blades on his arms.    

"This fighting style doesn't suit me, but… I will have to make it work," Billy said.    

When Uvish got bored of that simple combo, he suddenly controlled some one hundred meters long boulders flying toward Billy at the same time. Since they endured the explosion, he knew they were stronger than the ordinary ones. So, they would cause a lot of damage. Once again, Billy zigzagged around and dodged most of them, but another hit him in the back.    

Uvish used that chance to attack his front with the beam of light, but even while he showed a pained expression, Billy flew to the side and dodged the attack… Now that Uvish thought about it, perhaps Billy was suffering too much damage since his barrier was supposed to protect him against all that… still, Uvish couldn't see any changes on Billy's body. In fact, he could only see his body cracking and suffering more damage. It was only a matter of time before he died.     

That was what Uvish wanted to believe, but his instincts were warning him that Billy was plotting something. He probably had another trick up his sleeve to surprise him… it would be better to finish him off as soon as possible.    

"I am tired of your tricks, and I will end this now," Uvish said via Telepathy.    

Billy didn't like the enemy's tone, and he soon confirmed why. Uvish couldn't hit Billy with his full power. Uses all his heads to hit the same target as possible, but not against enemies like Billy… So, he had to create the right conditions for that to happen. Instead of aiming at him, the enemy aimed his head toward Billy's home…    

"... I suppose it is only natural that you would," Billy furrowed his eyebrows and said. "I also tired of looking at your ugly face and fighting someone so pathetic. You have the power and the techniques, but you are boring…"        

Billy moved to block the path of the attack, and then Uvish used all the rocks around and made them hit Billy. He didn't even try to dodge, so he began to be smashed by their pressure.    

Uvish kept using the boulders with Telekinesis, and eventually, it became the size of a small continent. However, he never felt Billy's presence disappearing… It wasn't getting any weaker, either.    

"You might have fifty heads, but you certainly don't have fifty brains…" Billy said via Telepathy. "Why do you think these boulders survived the explosion, you stupid ass retard?"    

Uvish wondered why while he was trying to use even more power to crush Billy… Why did the boulders not explode to pieces like everything else? It was because they were made of some sturdy material… That was supposed to be the normal answer, but since they came from a world of magic… It was because they were filled with magic, and Billy absorbed all that when he was attacked.    

"No, even If that was the case, he didn't show any signs of him getting stronger…" Uvish thought.    

"That is because I turned the energy into something else… Like experience for my Toughness," Billy explained.    

That would explain how he still was alive… Still, Uvish felt that there was another trick to that… But instead of waiting for any new trick, he just flew toward the sphere of rocks and then grabbed it. Uvish began to spin while holding that, and then he threw it toward the sun.    

Uvish kept using his magic to make sure that Billy wouldn't create any opening and escape. Still, much to Uvish's surprise. The massive sphere suddenly was split in two. After a few seconds, he saw Billy emerging from it… Not only did his Aura look more powerful, but he also looked bigger. That was the effect of recovering the mana on Toughness and then using it to enhance his body made of crystalized mana. Thanks to that, Billy is five times taller.    

"I feel weird like this…" Billy thought. "Regardless, I will use your mana to defeat the bastard that destroyed you."    

Worlds probably couldn't talk with people, and dead planets could do even less. Still, Billy felt like saying that. As for Uvish, he made up his mind to end things once and for all… This time, he wouldn't use tricks, and he wouldn't let Billy use them either.    

Uvish flew at Billy with all his might and then began to push him away with his large arms. Billy blocked the charge with his magic Blades, but the difference in power still was massive… It didn't take long for them to land on a nearby planet that was covered in sand, and instead of stooping to fight there. Uvish pushed Billy down, and they began to cross the crust of that planet insanely fast.    

It seemed insane, but Uvish was planning to take Billy to the core of that world, and then he would make it explode… that is if Billy didn't run out of mana first. Being pushed backward by a dragon of that size. At the same time, his body was almost being smashed against the ground was, grinding his barrier away…    

All of a sudden, the heads of the enemy began to fire the beams of light toward Billy. The enemy would suffer some damage at that range, but he didn't care. Billy used the magic blades on his hands to block some damage, but he couldn't so much aside from that.    

"Shit… I got a bit stronger thanks to that world's mana, but it isn't enough…" Billy thought.    

With each passing second, more parts of Billy's body cracked and turned into dust. Even with that extra power, Billy couldn't do much… he had to make his choice: Billy should either lose everything or sacrifice everything.    

Thanks to the physical and magical powers of Uvish, they crossed the mantle and the crust of that world in the blink of an eye and were about to reach the core of that world… Billy couldn't let that explode. Uvish would make sure that Billy would suffer the full power of the explosion, and while he would have to do the same, he had the crazy healing factor of the hydras…    

"... Did you know, Uvish?" Billy asked. "There is a pretty good way of using the power that you gave me and becoming stupidly strong. Since you took my powers, I have no qualms about using it again since I relearned that power."    

Billy's body began to grow, and the power behind Uvish's charge began to decrease. Even when the magic Blades blocked them, they didn't suffer as much damage. Still, more important than that… Uvish was shocked about how Billy's presence was increasing in size… He couldn't understand how it was possible. After a couple of seconds, he became fifty meters tall, and Uvish could no longer push him.    

"I suppose I need to explain how this is possible… Before the current, you are completely defeated by me," Billy said while he was smashing the enemy's claws with his grip. "I can make everything level up by using my own mana as a resource, but I can make everything that I learned and improved become mana at my disposal again. While I have to see the thing that I want to convert, the greatest source of mana that I can use is with me all the time. It is my own knowledge and progress."1    

Uvish's eyes opened widely when he heard that. He never considered that, but it made sense… He never considered that because it would be the same as letting go of his power. Everything he did was for power. While he wanted to protect his home planet and his species, he wouldn't do such a thing… He was that much power-hungry. Moreover, he knew that sacrificing his power against a single enemy would be stupid. Why? Because he felt that his battles would never come to an end.    

"As expected, someone like you would never do this, and that is why you are going to lose!" Billy shouted as his body grew once more and tossed the enemy to the side.    

Billy kept swinging Uvish's body and made him collide with the huge rocks around. Uvish tried to hit him with the beams of light, but the impact prevented him from aiming correctly. The whole planet began to tremble, and fissures appeared everywhere, damaging it. Billy couldn't afford to worry about that now. He began to worry when he saw the enemy's body shining for a moment… He was about to use that mana explosion. While that wouldn't destroy that planet, with their location, it would set it on the path of ruin…    

Without any other choice, Billy threw the enemy upward, using the same hole they created, making him spin as fast as he could. Uvish spun so fast that he lost control over his numerous brains, and thus, he was unable to use his attack. Just to make sure, Billy approached the enemy and then used his corkscrew punch and make the enemy spin a bit more.    

Unfortunately, Uvish began to recover before they could leave the planet. Billy would need the help of something else to make things work… With that in mind, Billy charged again and then landed the same punch, but he added the power of Time Skip. Thanks to that, Uvish instantly left that plant.    

"It is time… I can't only burn the experience and knowledge of the anti-magic barrier…" Billy said everything he had learned and improved as he began to convert into mana.        

Billy's body began to grow once again, but he wondered if he was going to be able to return home like that. He was ready to use all the mana in his body, after all, so that would leave him exposed to the cold and radiation of outer space… that, if his whole body didn't fall apart before, leaving only his heart and brain behind…    

"Oh, well… I lived two lives, a bit too short lives, but two lives nonetheless…" Billy thought. "I can't afford to be greedy like that asshole."    

Before flying toward the enemy, Billy turned into mana, everything he could. Uvish felt a shiver run down his spine and then readied himself using time magic to speed things up. Uvish infused all his mana into the next spell and readied all of his heads to attack Billy, who was fast approaching…     

Uvish fired a massive blast of energy that was as large as himself. The attack flew so fast. However, Billy still managed to react on time and create a single long magic spear by uniting his two arms together. Despite that, the anti-magic weapon didn't pierce the spell, and Billy was pushed backward. There was no mistake… if Billy tries to dodge that, another planet will collapse. If he losses, his home planet will become the next target… after improving his own skills during the fight, Uvish no longer had a need for an army…    

"Even all my knowledge and experience that I obtained in that dimension isn't enough?" Billy thought when he felt the crystalized parts of his legs falling apart. "Well, might as well… go with a bang!"    

Billy began to spin his body and then increased the anti-magic barrier around his arms and left his body unprotected. Thanks to that, he finally began to advance toward the enemy. Still, the price for that was clear… his body began to fall apart faster than before.     

While ignoring all that, Billy forced his way through the massive blast of energy… When all of his lower half had been destroyed, Billy closed his eyes and then recalled his family. Three gorgeous wives, three cute kids, and three more children in coming for the next few months. It seemed that he would have to leave them behind, but it was for a good cause… to free them from the destiny of being used by a madman.    

"One of them is a girl… her name will be Aurora, the next kid will be named Arthur, and the last one will be called Reed," Billy thought. "Those are good names, alright."    

Camilla, Anna, Drew, Samuel, Samara, Alexander, Nikola, Lily, Lara, Leo, John, Edward, Lucy, Pierre, Jean, Paule, Louise, Henri Marie, Gerald, Gustave, Rosalie, Marc ,Aura, Valentin, Gilles, Laurent, Svan, Ilfa, Icarus, , Lucyna, Beatrici, Felipe, Sei, Meril, Totaic Luso, Alessandro… Billy recalled the other members of his family and the friends he made along the way. He wasn't supposed to be born in that world, and the first kid of his parents was supposed to be stillborn, so he wanted to think that he did a good job being a good son and a good friend to all of the others.    

Those thoughts and feelings increased the power of Billy's body a bit. Because that was what magic power was… The power of the soul… At the last moment, Uvish realized that he wouldn't stop Billy, and he tried to move away. The hesitation he felt at the last second weakened his soul and gave Billy the chance that he wanted… His speed suddenly increased, and then he reached the enemy. The anti-magic spear and Billy passed through the body of the enemy, and before reaching the other side, Billy destroyed the enemy's heart and his magic core. Once that happened, all the enemy's mana began to disperse… While he was unable to move.    

Billy sighed in relief when he saw the transformation that Uvish had undergone disappearing… Billy's body seemed normal, but he had a nasty hole in his chest… as expected, the original body sustained that damage. Unfortunately, Billy had no room to feel bad about it; his current body was filled with cracks and turning into cosmic dust.    

"I guess this is it, folks," Billy said, and then his whole body turned into dust.    

Only Billy's nervous system and heart were left since he didn't turn them into crystalized mana. Still, it didn't take long for Billy's heart to stop beating…
