Chapter 1111: Sloth's Power
Crack, crack...!
CRACK!
As Arachne and Maria's Divinities attacked the Nightmare Beasts and Sloth as much as possible, the cracks across the Realm of Nightmares, which was directly connected to Sloth's own Embodiment, widened.
And from within, Maria was finally able to emerge, although her soul had been torn to shreds and absorbed, every single piece remained strong, resisting being digested, and through these "cracks", they started to rapidly reassemble back into Maria's true soul.
From within the cracks, her large appendages surged, amorphous and non-humanoid, showcasing the true nature of her soul powers. Maria had evolved into an Outer entity, blessed by the mysterious Ginnungagap, and becoming the [Void-Born Mistress Of Tenebrous Stars: Shub-Niggurath].
"It's too late now, Sloth! You're going to get what you fucking deserve!"
Using her powers, the mistress extended her influence even across the Realm of Nightmares that had devoured her very soul!
Her enormous tentacles rapidly shapeshifted into sharp and deadly spears made of spiraling Void and Chaos energies, rushing towards him, and piercing his body dozens of times!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Sloth felt utter agony as a part of his very existence was once more hurt! He thought Maria wanted to turn herself into their new vessel, but right now, she was trying to kill them?!
How can she kill a Sin to begin with? Not even Sloth, a Sin, an existence born from the materialization of an Archdemon's powers created by sacrificing millions of souls and other demonic treasures, knew how he could even die.
Primordial Sins were powerful existences, beings that could even go beyond the Tower and the Worlds they inhabited, they were seen as constants, parts of nature itself, to become a vessel was an eternal curse.
Only the Ancient Warlocks which summoned them into the World of Yggdrasil knew of ways to use them, but that was only a cheap way to transfer them from one vessel to another.
And that often ended badly, as both vessels would die and then the Sin would simply find anything else that was close by.
A wave of pure void engulfed Sloth's entire aberrant body within a split second, as a huge explosion of pure Void consumed him completely.
BOOOM!
"Uuuaaagghh!"
The Nightmare Realm started to grow distorted and broke apart even more, the Void consumed over half of Sloth's entire being. His flesh and blood rapidly beginning to regenerate, but it was too slow.
"You're Sloth, so I guess you're pretty slow, huh?"
"G-GET AWAY FROM MEEE!"
Sloth panicked, hundreds of crimson eyes across his body and the realm fired beams against Maria, capable of piercing and tearing through souls. She quickly shifted through space, evading as many as she could as she conjured more of her powerful Spells and Skills. "{Chaotic Void Ocean Waves}! {Umbral Death Blight}! {God-Burning White Flare}!"
Three Skills were activated at the same time, as an oceanic mass of void rushed down, combined with black death light, and burning white flames, which Maria then compressed into a dozen spears of swirling elements.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each time the spears pierced Sloth's body, large chunks of his flesh and blood were gone, his existence was fading away rapidly! For the first time ever through his life, the Primordial Sin actually felt fear for his life being in danger.
"Am I really going to die?! Is this even possible?" he thought. "No, this can't... This can't be possible! I am a Primordial Sin! I am an element of nature, born from mortal's sins! I am darkness and evil...! I am the creation of an Archdemon!"
Sloth kept growing desperate, the Nightmare Realm beginning to move towards his bleeding, dying body and beginning to rapidly fuse with him, making him larger and stronger, but at the same time, making him lose his entire sense of self.
"GRAAAHHH!!!"
With a monstrous roar, Maria had to evade countless tentacles moving her way, finding Arachne, having been grabbed by them and rushing to help her.
"Arachne!"
