Chapter 780: Challenge
"You have already taken too many lives to worry about that. You also took the future of many children with your actions over the years," Kate said. "It is a bit too late to pretend that you have a conscience now."
"Maybe you have a point, but even I have standards, you know," Uvish said. "I won't deny my crimes, but this planet is only standing and full of life until now because of my actions and struggle. You guys who were born a few years ago couldn't begin to understand my work, nor do I expect that you can do that."
Uvish changed the aura around him and then made those three begin to fall asleep… they resisted, and Natalie even wounded her hands with her swords to make the pain keep her awake, but in the end, she was unable to resist. She never was forced to endure the effects of Mind Control, so she didn't have experience on how to deal with that.
"Uvish, stop with this nonsense… what do you expect to accomplish by using everything and everyone to obtain power?" The death spirit asked. "Will you keep doing this on other planets? Until when? When will you feel satisfied?"
"That is a tough question," Uvish replied. "This feeling of getting stronger is quite good, so perhaps I will only get sick of it after a few thousand years? I didn't grow tired of doing things behind the scenes, and that was a lot more boring than this."
"Uvish… even now, we are waiting for you to wake up from your delusions," The life spirit said. "We all know that you carried a heavy weight on your shoulders for many years, but it has to put a stop to this… the others might be able to convince Billy to spare you, but not if you mess with his family… You know him well; you were just like him in the past."
"... You sent him to where those other three are?" Uvish asked. "Every time I defeated you all, I prevented your total annihilation, but perhaps it is time for this world to end, and you all will go down with it."
"You are the one who betrayed us first, and you still have the audacity to talk like this… it was a pity, Uvish," The death spirit said. "Now that things have come to this, I will accept whatever outcome."
"You should since you don't have any other option," Uvish said and then increased his speed to Billy's house.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the gate. However, Uvish felt something weird and ominous. He felt like he was going to die instantly if he took one step inside that house. He knew that Billy didn't put any trap there, so it was clear that he just imagined things. Still, if by some miracle he manages to return and with the cooperation of those three…
"No, with that body, he can't do shit…" Uvish thought.
Uvish was wasting time. The core of the barrier was right in front of him. Still, his predictions showed themselves to be mistaken when he saw a portal appearing in front of him. At the same time, Billy showed up with that body that he had been sealed with.
"You did the right thing by not stepping into my house… I would have killed you if you had done that," Billy said. "Perhaps killing would be too lenient… Making your body suffer for a long time after taking your powers would be a much better idea."
"You managed to return… Impressive, even though you are the best of my underlings, you sure are something else," Uvish said.
"Perhaps I was, but I am no longer," Billy said. "You took your powers and the system from me, remember? Now you can't do much to weaken me again. Regardless, open a portal to the world you want to be defeated. I will let you choose the ring where you will taste your worse defeat."
"So confident after getting the help of those three… How foolish," Uvish said. "That changes nothing."
"Open the portal unless you want to be dragged to somewhere else," Billy said. "Defeating you won't be enough. I will crush your spirit with magic and without magic. Then you will understand how stupid you have been until now."
1ow foolish all of your actions have been until now."
Uvish frowned when he heard that. The glow in Billy's eyes also showed that he was pretty confident. Still, he wasn't emitting much of an aura since his body was about to collapse. Nevertheless, Uvish could keep him company for a while. Now that he had Billy's knowledge and skills, he could create a barrier to envelop the whole world wherever he wanted. There was no need to hurry up, and he would have his army of brainless soldiers soon enough.
"I hope that you will entertain me for a few seconds at least," Uvish said and then opened a portal to the dead world that Zenis had sent him before.
Billy couldn't have asked for a better option, he jumped in even faster than Uvish, and then the enemy followed him. Those two stared at each other for a while; Billy only did that because he was having a hard time controlling his anger since the guy who played with his soul and many others was finally in front of him. Still, he had to keep his promise to the spirits.
That world hadn't changed since the last time Billy had been there. The air was thin and filled with the smell of death and emptiness. The dark clouds barely moved thanks to that… Billy was amazed that such a world could still continue to exist. Still, it was the perfect place for him to deal with that guy and make sure that he won't try to mess with the lives of others anymore... That would be the start of the final challenge that Billy had to overcome and his blood was boiling thanks to it.
