RUMBLE!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A tremendous war was happening in the middle of the Cloud Sea, as the Demons that followed Eligos and the army of Galactic Humans that had overtaken the surrounding territory battled to death.
Explosions reverberated everywhere, as gigantic machines exploded into pieces, small
humans inside being incinerated by the flames of hell, as demons gathered together to fight against them.
However, although many humans were dying, so were demons, they died in droves, any of them that wasn't a General was much weaker than the average Mecha Pilot, and easily died if they were hit.
Their strategy, however, was simple, they swarmed a single robot and tore it apart, before taking out the human inside and killing them rather agonizingly.
What the demons had as an advantage above the Mecha pilots were their much larger numbers and supernatural powers that could sometimes catch them by surprise.
Above all, the Demonic Tower that Eligos' controlled constantly summoned more of these Demons everywhere, and whenever a General appeared, all Mecha Pilots were massacred, giving the demons a growing advantage.
However, everyone that had survived to this point on the battlefield knew very well that whoever was to win this fight would only be defined once a victor between Eligos and the Commander of the Humans.
Their fight was the most intense, both were complete behemoths, Eligos rapidly increased his size to match the titan made of steel in front of him, although his maximum size was eighty meters, therefore, he was still much smaller.
However, what he lacked in height he made up with tenacity, self-regeneration of wounds, and his almighty, burning power.
"{Demonic Infernal Claw Arts}: {Sizzling Infernal Shredder}!"
Eligos massive claws moved at lightning speed, resembling long black swords encompassed on infernal flames, cutting and cleaving through the metallic body of his opponent.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Don't think that's going to work, demon! {Cosmic Force Field}!"
However, the titanic mecha managed to rapidly intercept the incoming attacks by
encompassing its entire body with a powerful cosmic force field, negating over half of the damage dealt.
"These bastard humans are tapping into cosmic power through their damned machines?!" Eligos thought, gritting all his sharp teeth. "Preposterous! This is simply just ridiculous! Who do they think they are?! I must put an end to this immediately!"
Eligos didn't had all the time of the world to continue fighting, and as he saw that his Demonic Tower was being targeted, he needed to end this quickly or else he would risk his Tower being damaged, and his connection to this World to become weaker as a result too.
"DON'T GET TOO COCKY, HUMAN!"
He suddenly opened the jaws within his torso, as a gigantic spiraling black hole emerged, surprising the pilot of the gigantic machine.
Although he was the Commander of this unit, there were roughly over twenty more people inside of his vessel, all of them working on different areas, their minds connected through neural networks.
"Commander Ezekiel! He's unleashing a strange power!"
"A small black hole?!"
"It is probably some kind of spatial or void manipulating power!"
"Quickly, deploy the defensive protocol!" The Commander said, as he moved the machine several meters way from Eligos while his hands transformed into two cannons. "We'll keep him busy and discover what his power is! Do not rush this battle! Demons of this caliber cannot be taken recklessly!"
Ezekiel's blue eyes shone brightly as his long blonde hair waved the moment he moved his hands, and the robot hands moved on their own was well, completely synchronized to his own movements.
"{Cosmic Photon Cannons}!"
TRUUUM! TRUUUM!
Two massive cosmic cannons were fired at Eligos, and Eligos...
Smiled!
"YES, GIVE ME THAT STUFF!"
BOOOMMM!!!
A massive cosmic explosion engulfed him completely, as the black hole within his torso began to rapidly siphon everything inside.
Not only did the energy was absorbed and the damage negated entirely, but his jaws closed, suddenly, the entire group led by Ezekiel gasped.
"Oh no! He absorbed it?!"
"Commander!"
"Dammit, what do we do now?!"
Ezekiel, however, smiled. He had his fair share of experience fighting all kinds of horrors in outer space, and beings that could absorb energy were as common as fish in the ocean.
"HAAAAHH!"
FLUOSH!
With a loud demonic yell, Eligos unleashed his new absorbed power, as his entire body gained several cosmic blue colored veins spreading through his body.
Star-like sparks of cosmic light emerged from his entire body, as he began to overflow with tremendous power.
"This is the first time I properly absorb Cosmic Energy! We Demons don't need it to reach the level of cosmic beings, you know? But it's never too bad to have some when it appears in front of our faces!" "Is that so? Thanks for the information, that'll be stored in our database to better learn how to deal with your detestable kind!"
Ezekiel moved his giant machine, rushing forward as his blocky, enormous metallic arms swung down, gigantic steel fists rushing towards Eligos, blazing with cosmic flames.
"{Cosmic Fist Barrage}!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Eligos didn't even move, easily enduring all the hits with his bare body and showing almost
no signs of damage at all!
As he smiled, he swung his claws forward, rapidly cleaving through one of the mechanical arms, as he grasped it with his other claw, trying to tear it apart
Crack, crack...!
CRAAASH!
"I will be taking this for you, bastard!"
With a vicious and demonic laughter, Eligos tore apart one of the gigantic arms and then threw it away into the void below, following by conjuring hundreds of Pentagram Circles and unleashing an infernal storm that encompassed the entire robot.
"{Soul-Destroying Infernal Storm}!"
FLUOOOSH!
The spiraling storm of infernal flames encompassed the gigantic Cosmic Mecha, as its human-like face seemed to show Ezekiel's struggling face.
Eligos couldn't help but laugh at the end.
"AHAHAHAH! IS THIS ALL YOU HUMANS HAVE?! I SHOULDN'T EVEN HAD WORRIED AT ALL!"
As he celebrated his victory already, Ezekiel rapidly clicked several buttons within his robot's panel, and then placed a golden key, moving it to the left.
CLICK!
Until something within the robot activated, only accessible to those with the Golden Key he
possessed.
Indeed, this key was...
"Wake up, Legendary Hero of Steel, Mighty Atlas."
FLAAASH!
"Huh?!"
And out of nowhere, the gigantic robot began to glow with the brightest light Eligos had ever
seen!
