"This damn idiot..." Azzy stretched his arm, releasing a torrent of electricity as the golden-winged serpent aimed at him instead of Baphomet.

    Baphomet took this opportunity to shoot a dark energy beam at Azzy.

    The sword of radiance was raised high and blocked the beam simultaneously as the golden-winged serpent was momentarily paralyzed in mid-air by Jupiter''s lightning.

    Thalorim rushed at Azzy.

    "Come out, Vajra."

    The black lightning orb made its appearance and flew to deal with the golden serpent.

    Thalorim was about to strike Azzy''s back with an energy saber but Azzy''s no-look kick to the back hit his body, blasting him away.

    While Thalorim crashed into the wall and Azzy was still blocking the dark beam with the sword of radiance, Baphomet lowered his head and conjured a sphere of dark energy between his twisted goat horns, shooting it at Azzy.

    "Master."

    Suddenly, the golden-winged serpent, which was captured by numerous lightning threads of Vajra, moved against its will to the side, coming in between the dark beam and Azzy and taking the attack head-on.

    The dark beam obliterated the golden-winged serpent in a second, giving just enough time for Azzy to push out natural energy from his Sage core, forming a shield using Gaia''s essence.

    The translucent shield was hit by the dark beam and started cracking. The power behind the dark beam that the sword of radiance was blocking has increased by several folds. Azzy started sliding to the back.

    "Evil fiend..."

    Simultaneously, another annoying roar was heard behind, angering Azzy. A beam of divine light energy was unleashed at him.

    "This... I had enough..." Azzy moved the sword of radiance and flapped his twelve wings at the same time, jumping to the side.

    The divine light missed him and struck the translucent shield from behind. The shield was broken like glass and the dark beam and divine light clashed, releasing enormous amounts of energy.

    The other power dark beam that was launched by the scepter went on its path and directly struck Thalorim''s head.

    "Well, those two following you into the castle are in minor probability. So, that was unexpected. But, before that, let''s finish off this malevolent entity," said the Reaper, answering his doubt before Azzy got to ask.

    Meanwhile, Baphomet waited patiently for an answer. Before acting, he wishes to know whether it is an enemy or not. He already stated that he doesn''t wish to be an enemy.

    So, the choice fell upon Azzy''s head.

    And, after a brief discussion with the Reaper, Azzy gave his response to Baphomet.

    He responded by unleashing the ultimate form of the transformation, the Titan.

    Lightning energy pushed away from Azzy, before retreating to him and forming a giant humanoid armor, destroying the ceiling of the castle and encompassing the sky briefly before disappearing into Azzy and forming a thin bluish-white layer over his skin.

    With the crown on his face, Azzy indeed looked a king of gods in his transformation.

    "You made your choice."

    Baphomet''s skin glowed in a scarlet layer of demonic energy. His scepter disappeared and was replaced by twin daggers.

    Both of them charged at the same time, leaving behind a trail of respective energies.

    As they clashed, an enormous amount of energy was released like an explosion. A figure flew out and crashed into the wall, breaking it and falling on the other side. It was Baphomet.

    Baphomet jumped out of the hole and stared at Azzy, who was floating in mid-air in the exact spot where they clashed.

    "How?" Baphomet''s mouth opened widely, hanging down, "Impossible. It''s the Death. Did Thanatos manage to win against Jupiter and crush his will? That is a cosmic jewel. And what''s that cosmic energy that I don''t recognize?"

    The thick lightning sparks around Azzy changed from bluish-white to pitch black. Even his eyes were no longer the same as before he charged earlier.

    "You don''t have Jupiter''s will," Baphomet screamed. The vibration sent by his piercing scream destroyed the surroundings. Half of the entire castle was razed to the ground. The only thing that remained unaffected was the throne.

    The lightning energy turned the rubble around him into dust, clearing out his view. Baphomet also did the same and gazed at him with hatred, "I''ll take revenge for Jupiter." The demonic essence around him thickened to the point that the air became toxic in the surroundings as its aura spread around like dust.

    Azzy was, however, unaffected due to his transformation. He stood his ground and stretched his hand, "Vajra. Come."

    His deep voice trembled the floating lightning orb a bit, reminding it of one of its previous masters. Nevertheless, it transformed into its true form, a bolt of black lightning, returning to Azzy''s hands.
