Chapter 382: Alister Goes All Out
Ignar, seething with disbelief and rage, squared off against Alister in the mirrored dimension.
The air crackled with tension, the landscape distorted by the immense power both gods wielded.
Ignar's fiery aura intensified, the ground beneath him melting into molten lava, while Alister stood firm, his expression cold and calculating, every muscle coiled in readiness.
"You're a mere Low God," Ignar growled, flames licking at his words, "and yet you dare stand against a High God? You're nothing but an insect waiting to be crushed!"
Alister's eyes, glowing with the power of his All-Seeing Heavenly Eyes, narrowed as he analyzed Ignar's movements and energy fluctuations.
He knew that Ignar's brute strength far outclassed his own at the surface level, but Alister wasn't one to fight head-on without a plan.
Drawing upon his Divine Physical Power and the enhanced strength provided by his Zombie Virus Absolute Control as he extracted the energy from his zombie divine cells, Alister's body surged with raw energy.
His Chaos Body activated, amplifying his body with the power of chaos and allowing him to adapt rapidly to Ignar's attacks.
Ignar lunged forward, swinging his fiery warhammer with the force of a supernova.
Alister used his All-Seeing Heavenly Eyes, seeing through Ignar's movements with precision as he sidestepped the attack, avoiding the strike by a hair's breadth.
The force of the hammer's impact shattered the ground where Alister had just stood, sending shockwaves through the mirrored dimension.
Alister countered instantly, his divine star artifact, the Nine-Colored Cosmic Celestial Sword materializing in his hand. The blade gleamed with an ethereal light as he infused it with the power of Omni Energy and Cosmic Severance.
With a swift motion, he slashed at Ignar, the sword's edge cutting through space itself, leaving a trail of cosmic energy in its wake.
Activating the Universal Dimension Mirror again, Alister created a vortex of energy that began to draw Ignar into the heart of the mirror dimension, where the laws of reality were under his control.
Ignar fought back, but Alister, using his Absolute God Mind to focus his will and power, poured everything into sealing the High God within the mirror.
Although Alister knew that he couldn't use his Absolute God Mind to control Ignar's mind, it wasn't a problem for him to use it to disrupt Ignar's movements by messing with his mind.
With a final surge of power, Alister forced Ignar into the depths of the dimension, the portal sealing shut behind him. The mirror dimension stabilized, the echoes of their battle fading away, leaving Alister standing alone in the eerie calm.
Alister stood in the eerie calm of the mirror dimension, believing he had sealed Ignar away for good. But his victory was short-lived.
Suddenly, the air around him crackled with renewed energy, and to his disbelief, Ignar began to break free from the seal, his fiery aura blazing back to life.
Ignar's laughter echoed through the mirrored realm, filled with a mixture of defiance and triumph. "You thought you could seal me so easily, Alister? You underestimate the resources of a High God."
As he spoke, Ignar revealed a divine artifact in the form of a key, glowing with an ominous light. "This is the Divine Unsealing Key. A one-time use artifact, but powerful enough to break through any seal, even one as strong as yours."
As the words left his mouth, the Divine Unsealing Key in Ignar's hand shattered into dust, its power spent. It was clear that this key had saved Ignar from what would have been his end,
but now it was gone.
Realizing that his last escape tool was gone, Ignar's expression shifted from arrogance to contemplation. Knowing that he wasn't a match for Alister in his current state, he decided that retreat was his best option.
Ignar attempted to leave, but as he tried to tear open a rift in the dimension, he found himself unable to move.
Alister's cold voice cut through the air. "Leaving so soon? I'm afraid I can't allow that."
Using the power of the mirror dimension, Alister manipulated the space around Ignar, locking him in place and preventing any escape.
