With the orb collapsing around him, Rokarn dismissed his greatsword and summoned two gauntlets.

  While the attack was frying his skin, he gathered energy into his hand before punching forwards.

  *BANG!!!!!!!!!

  Shattering the bottom half of the orb, his attack forced Shiro’s spell to break apart.

  "Tch!" Clicking her tongue, Shiro summoned Silvanis and dashed towards him.

  *CLANG!!!!

  Seeing that Rokarn blocked her blade, she dismissed Silvanis and grabbed his arm. Using it as a handle, she swung herself over his head and activated a tier 7 magic circle behind him. Summoning Silvanis once more, Shiro twisted her body and stabbed towards him.

  *PUCHI!!!!!

  Teleporting away before Rokarn could grab her, Shiro activated the tier 7 magic circle.

  Suddenly, golden chains erupted from Silvanis’ handle and slowly crawled towards where he had sealed his source code.

  Before it could reach the spot, Rokarn grabbed the chains with his spare hand and attempted to pry it from his body.

  "Who the hell throws other people into planets!!"

  Reappearing behind Rokarn with anger in her eyes, Syradil grabbed his arm and prevented him from removing the chains.

  "Hello mother*cker, it’s me again." Syradil growled while partially transforming her arms into those of a dragon’s.

  *BANG!!!

  Elbowing her in the chest, Rokarn wanted to push her off him but she was steadfast.

  With Syradil now restraining his movements, the chains slowly reached the source code.

  The moment the chains touched the spot, Shiro felt something connecting her to the source code through the magic.

  Unlike what happened with her sword, this was not her attempting to destroy the code. Her mind went blank as she was overwhelmed with a surge of power that shattered her spell to pieces, causing her to fly back towards the walls of her station.

  *BANG!!!!

  Catching her before she slammed into the wall, Nan Tian could see her face twisted with pain.

  "Don’t mind me, go help Syradil." Shiro squeezed out as her body was just in shock after being flooded with so much energy.

  Furrowing his brows, Nan Tian nodded his head and dashed towards Rokarn.

  Summoning an array of light blades, he slashed towards Rokarn, making sure to avoid the armour since he knew that he was not capable of piercing past its defences.

  Twisting his body, Rokarn attempted to use Syradil as a shield but the blades adjusted themselves at the last second.

  Slashing against his flesh, the blades caused burns against his skin that healed quickly.

  However, his goal was not to land a strong attack but rather branding him with a marker so that someone else can finish the job.

  Suddenly, Attie appeared behind Rokarn.

  In his hands was a pure white greatsword made from energy that caused Syradil to sweat from the heat.

  While the fight was going on, Attie had been teleported near the sun by Shiro so that he could empower his attack.

  Without saying anything, Attie swung towards Rokarn while Nan Tian grabbed Syradil and jumped out of the way.

  *BOOM!!!!!!!!!

  In the silence of space, a giant pillar of light appeared, slashing apart the station and extended beyond what the eye could see.

  Once the flames cleared up, Rokarn could be seen on his knees but he was not dead.

  Little by little, his wounds healed up as he opened his mouth.

  "Helios was stronger, boy." Flashing in front of Attie, he grabbed his head and slammed him against the floor.

  Raising his foot, he stomped down against Attie’s chest, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

  The moment he did this, Shiro, Nimue and Iziuel surrounded him.

  Roots sprouted from the nanobots and restrained his movements while Nimue applied both buffs and debuffs while amplifying Shiro’s mana.

  As for Shiro, she summoned Silvanis and activated Effect 1 and 4.

  [Silvanis Effect 1: When activated, your stats are doubled and Silvanis will deal 100% True Damage.]

  [Silvanis Effect 4: You can Infuse any element into this blade and the effectiveness will be boosted by 200% and ignores all resistance towards that element.]

  However, she wasn’t done. With her stats now doubled, she activated Limit Focus and converted her INT stats into raw power.

  Converting 80% of her current INT stat, she slashed towards Rokarn.

  With the current buffs, there was no defence that Rokarn could use that protected him due to Silvanis’ effects.

  *BANG!!!!!!

  "GAHHHH!!!!"

  Hearing the Demi God cry out in pain, Shiro watched as her blade eradicated his flesh. Adjusting her grip so that she could swing at him again, Shiro took a step forward but Rokarn was faster.

  Cutting himself diagonally from the neck to the armpit, he severed his head along with the arm containing the source code from his main body.

  Exploding some mana in front of him, he created some distance and regenerated his entire body while cladding himself with spare armour from his inventory. However, his main armour was now in tatters.

  Similar to the past, he watched as the God Slayer destroyed his armour that he was so proud of.

  While she has demonstrated raw power that forced him to use one of his life saving skills, Rokarn was not optimistic about her physique. After all, a short contact with the Source Code caused such a violent reaction that almost knocked her out.

  ’Well if she can survive this then it’ll prove that she’s ready. If not then I’ll try to delay things I suppose.’ Rokarn thought to himself as he summoned the Source Code and placed it back into his chest.

  Black runes spread across the surface of his skin as his aura started to grow at an abnormal rate.

  Realising what this was, Shiro gritted her teeth and teleported everyone but herself away.

  Everyone was already struggling with him demonstrating parts of his power but if he was to reveal his true form, they would not stand a chance.

  The only way she could see herself contending against this was using Blessing of Chaos to reach tier 8 as well. Thankfully, Blessing of Chaos was still usable in terms of combat power otherwise Shiro would not know what to do in this situation.

  Slowly, Rokarn’s body started to shift as his flesh transformed into a weave of gold and purple energy. In his chest, an orb of pure darkness could be seen surrounded by a metallic harness that represented his ribcage. Cosmic armour wrapped around his body while his aura started to disintegrate the nanobots near him.

  Reaching out with his hand, he snapped his finger.

  *BANG!!!!!

  Feeling an overwhelming pressure erupt from Rokarn, Shiro was slammed into the floor by the aura.

  Cursing in her mind, Shiro was about to activate her Blessing of Chaos when she realised that she had been picked up by the neck by Rokarn.

  Energy flared around him as Shiro quickly activated Time Flux and broke out of his grasp with the help of Silvanis.

  But before her Time Flux could finish its activation duration, Rokarn’s body started to move as any spell that touched him would be destroyed. Including her Time Flux.

  ’Tsk! Not even Time Flux can hold him?!’ Shiro thought to herself while trying to create some distance so that she could activate Blessing of Chaos.

  Parrying his attacks one by one, Shiro found herself being cornered.

  To make matters worse, there was a strange aura around him that was slowly destroying her armour that Helion had created for her.

  Thankfully, Silvanis was indestructible but from the way it was warping whenever Rokarn struck, Shiro found herself doubting its defences.

  ’F*cking hell! I didn’t think there was ever a need for me to use this.’ Shiro thought as she pulled out a certain dagger that she had kept in her inventory.

  Activating Time Flux once more, she disappeared from her spot and reappeared behind Rokarn.

  Her goal was never to run away using Time Flux so that fact that he broke it faster than before didn’t concern her.

  Twisting her body, she flooded mana into the blade and stabbed it into Rokarn’s exposed back.

  [Charm of Aphrodite]

  Enemies hit by this weapon have an 80% chance to be charmed if they’re part of the same species or similar. For others, it is reduced to 50%.

  When charmed, they will do everything for you as long as it follows their line of thought. Should you damage them, the charm is cancelled. If you order them to kill themselves without a ’good reason’ the charm is cancelled.

  Suddenly, a tier 8 magic circle activated on the blade as it disintegrated into pink wisps that surrounded Rokarn.

  His eyes glazed over as his movements halted.

  Seeing that it was a success, Shiro immediately jumped back and activated Blessing of Chaos since the charm wouldn’t last long. Not against someone like Rokarn after all.

  And as expected, Rokarn snapped out of it in a few moments and turned towards Shiro who was now flaring her tier 8 aura.

  Her form was relatively the same except for her aura and the armour that surrounded her body.

  However, upon laying his eyes on her form, Rokarn felt emotional since this was the same God Slayer that he remembered seeing so long ago.

  "What round is it now? I’ve lost count. But I suppose we can call this round two." Shiro spoke coldly.

  ###

  "Ara, she used my dagger. Shame it’s a one time use." Aphrodite muttered with a charming smile while kissing a god on the lips, draining them of their life essence.
