{You...are... ARROGANT HALF DEMON!}

    "Yes and seeing your cells dying and regenerating at the same time it seems you are not as hopeless as I think you are, come on show me something"

    Then the boy made another move and increased the radiation inside his opponent''s body, somehow showcasing the power of the four fundamental forces without much help from spells, proving his improvement.

    "I have been moving so cautiously, thinking you all might cause serious chaos if not handled well, yet now, why do I feel mistaken? Hey, vessel, you should have at least a quarter of the original, right? Don''t disappoint me when you have a body from the ducal house Silvercrest"

    Apollo''s voice was oozing bloodlust due to his patience being tested. He thought it was stupid how he was for stalling for so long trying to be safe, yet the threat he was fearing was just this.

    "Jeremiah there should be something that connects the vessels to the one using it, trace it and report it to me"

    [Affirmative Creator]

    "I wanna see if the original is as disappointing as his vessel"

    A dark matter began to materialize as the demonic Apollo increased the bloodlust he currently feels. He felt pathetic for being afraid of an enemy that was lesser in strength than him.

    "Jeremiah spread your scanner throughout the empire; I want to absorb any essence and upgrade all my attributes. I have been saving so much of them for this fight, I don''t want any of my efforts to be wasted. I have been working hard, at the very least I hope the original can satisfy me"

    Thunder began to radiate in the sky while the human vessel continued to struggle against the magic-engineered radiation.

    A furious Apollo who felt stupid from his past restraint action, now wants to attack Nadezhda and track every single self-proclaimed gods

    "Hah, I took you guys seriously since you call yourselves gods but now I felt like I was just fooling myself"

    Every word he said carried his anger until the intensity of the mana of the vessel changed. It became strong and dense like a strong storm though it didn''t affect Apollo.

    "How disappointing for someone who proclaims himself as God; I much prefer those demons I fought a while ago. At least they could provide some challenge"

    Apollo had expected to be killed by a vessel, but now he doesn''t really understand why it''s too weak. It wasn''t supposed to be like that. According to the data he had gathered from the warehouse. The vessel should have at least 50-75 percent of the original. This was the first successful test subject so at least 25 percent power of the original is expected. Given that modification is still underway.

    [Creator, you were right. There is a faint pulse of power that seems to be responding to something from far away. Please give me some time to trace it since it is very hard to be detected]

    "Sure I don''t mind"

    Then the storm-like mana stops, leaving only two figures, one demon, and one human tool.

    {How dare you mock a god!}

    "You mean a self-proclaimed god?"

    {Blasphemy!}

    "Ah, you mean the truth"

    [Ten, seven for offense, three for defense]

    "Well let''s destroy them before they can even cause trouble"

    In Apollo''s mind, time seems to flow slowly, and his first action is to mark all the artifacts and use Disintegrate to destroy them.

    [Notification alert!!

    The skill failed to activate]

    "That was a bit surprising." he then switched and used an authority, though he was skeptical if it could work since it was merely a copy and might fail like the previous skill. However, unbeknownst to him, the gods who owned those authorities had long given it to him. That is also the reason why the mastery of those authorities is more on how he uses them and not just by upgrading them through the system.

    Apollo made his command, and the artifacts were put into a state of decay using one of the four fundamental forces. In less than a second the artifacts are no more

    "Good problem solved." Then his next move was to intercept the attack that was about to smash his face.

    [Creator this magical beast just stopped the mana from moving, I think it must have seen how you used it in your previous fight]

    "Yeah probably"

    This entire time, Apollo was calm, and despite the attack being a few inches away from his face, he didn''t react much; then his voice rang across the room.

    "Kneel"

    And just like he said the little girl he was fighting hit the floor and even broke it until she fell to the floor beneath it.

    "Let''s see, according to the data, my opponent is an overpowered magical beast.."

    His words are interrupted when he is teleported right outside the manor. Then, what happens next surprises the entire city: the manor blows up, and a dragon emerges from the explosion. Chaos erupted and Apollo just remembered something he had forgotten.

    "Where exactly am I again?" he only followed the coordinates for the teleportation and didn''t know the name of the place they were in right now.

    [It is the kingdom of Delvira, I think the one you just fought is the youngest daughter of the duchess here, Emily Del Philippa]

    "Ah Delvira, the kingdom that newly established its connection to Nero''s kingdom"

    Thinking about those kingdoms, Apollo thought he should pay a visit to them. While he tried to form a plan, the dragon in front of him roared, and it blew half of the city. Of course, the boy teleported away before it could even hit him.

    {Damn you!}

    "Stop!" he commanded, and like before, the dragon had no way of fighting over the power of the authority. The dragon''s stone-like body halted, and Apollo then cast the spell he thought appropriate for his opponent.

    "For someone immune to both ice and fire I think this spell will be a good one"

    A black-light painted the sky and created a black demonic magic circle.

    "Dual elements...Ten thousand black lightning barrage"

    The darkness and lightning elements combined together and brought forth the spell that swallowed the entire city.
