The Beast Lord had made only one grave mistake: throwing his gifted God-Weapon in an attempt to find Aengus. That decision had failed spectacularly, and now he would pay a painful price.
In his Basilisk form, wielding the God-Grade weapon, Aengus felt almost invincible as divine essence flowed through him, boosting his stats many times over and providing an endless reservoir of mana.
The Beast Lord's towering body lay on the ground, his eyes hollow with disbelief at the absurdity of the situation. The God-Weapon, which was supposed to obey only him, was now, ironically, in the hands of his fated enemy.
He quickly stood up, only to see his own towering carbon copy grinning sinisterly above him.
"Bang!"
Before he could blink, Aengus smashed the Beast God's Scepter down on his head, drawing blood. Stars clouded his vision as blood flowed from his nose and mouth.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
He had no time to breathe as more ruthless blows landed on his body, shattering each bone slowly.
"I told you, you'd regret this!" Aengus mocked, his relentless assault continuing with full force.
"Roar!"
"Abominable human!"
The Beast Lord released an enraged roar and activated the Beast God's Blessing as a last resort.
"Dong!"
Once again, a red pillar of light descended from the sky, granting him a boost in power and health.
But Aengus was one step ahead.
"You think I'd let you do that again?" Aengus sneered, dragging the Beast Lord and interrupting his power boost.
As the Beast Lord lay on the ground, his heart sank as he looked at the reddish sky with faint stars above, while Aengus looked down at him, fearlessly continuing his assault.
The Beast Lord's anger grew over time, and his last-ditch, life-saving ability was slowly activating. Aengus knew he still couldn't underestimate the Beast Lord, who possessed his ultimate life-saving ability: Apocalypse Awakening, which would activate when he was near death.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, the Beast Lord rose, his health mystically recovering.
He launched an attack on Aengus with ferocity, his eyes blood-red.
But, to the Beast Lord's bafflement, Aengus had already retreated far away, taking the weapon with him.
"Hehehe.. Thank you, master. I will serve you with all my might," Aegis declared.
Aegis sounded like a child thrilled at the chance to gain more power to help his master.
"I expect nothing less from you," Aengus responded, focusing on merging the God-Weapon into Aegis and granting it full control of the final product.
After a while the Synthesization was completed succesful.

With that done, Aengus quickly returned to his High Human form.
He looked at the God-Slayer blade and stored it in his personal spatial inventory, created using Space Law, allowing him access to it anytime from anywhere. His current space bracelet wasn't capable of holding a God-Weapon inside, as even its suppressed aura would have been enough to shatter the spatial storage function.
Aengus took one last glance, finding the surviving mythical creatures nowhere in sight. They have long fled, taking the chance, or perhaps they were turned to ashes.
He shook his head and stepped through the portal.
