Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race Chapter 385: 384 - Beast Divinity

Meanwhile, the so-called divine calamities, as expected, did not care in the slightest about where they were passing, who was beneath them, or who was watching them.

As soon as Rygar, Laplace, and Badigadi left the Dragon God's Hole Labyrinth, a battle of incalculable proportions began.

The First World Power, the Fighter God.

The Second World Power, the Technique God.

Those two existences joined forces in battle to eliminate the Beast God, the Beast of the Apocalypse, once and for all.

Even though he was only in sixth place among the World Powers, Rygar had long since possessed enough strength to challenge the most powerful beings in the world.

And now, strengthened by the Pseudo Divine Core, his abilities, previously imbued with monstrous power and mana, had also gained an uncontrollable aspect of divinity.

Each blow was more powerful, more mystical, and more lethal.

The mana in his body seemed to mix with the world around him, twisting gravity, fire, wind, lightning, and space with natural ease.

It was like fighting with the world at his side.

Since arriving in this world, Rygar had discovered and learned many things.

He had learned to fight with his claws, learned to strengthen his body with Touki to surpass his limits, learned to shape fire and earth, and learned how to truly fight, like a warrior.

He had been wounded, defeated, and taught, and he had learned to observe stronger people and steal from them everything he could use.

Every technique, every spell, every movement he possessed now had been built through a path filled with battles.

Allied with his great physical potential, his natural talent for manipulating mana, and the knowledge from his previous life, Rygar had reached heights people could only call apocalyptic.

His senses could cover an entire region.

His physical strength was capable of crushing mountains.

His sword could cut the seas.

His instinct was like a premonition of the future.

And his magic had the potential to reshape entire continents.

Long ago, Rygar had distanced himself from the standard concept of humanity.

But, at the same time, his personal relationships had remained the same.

He still had his parents, his wives, his friends, and, finally, his children.

Even while standing on a level of power that few of them could even comprehend, his life was still exactly as he wanted it.

Free and carefree.

That was what he had pursued from the beginning.

Absolute freedom.

The strength to go wherever he wanted, to explore the entire world without impediment.

To do as he pleased.

Not that he wanted to abuse that strength, but in this world, it was more than necessary. He had learned that very early while fighting slave traffickers.

Who in the current Kingdom of Gaia would dare call the Beast Races filthy beasts?

In the old Holy Kingdom of Milis, that was common.

Which Demon King would dare turn against his kingdom while he was alive?

The answer was only one.

Badigadi.

Rygar had achieved exactly what he had desired since the beginning of his life, after almost thirty years in this new world.

But even for the powerful, there were obstacles.

As long as he was not at the top, there would always be ambitious people trying to destroy his peace.

And Rygar felt, with a joyful and euphoric intensity, that this new power would allow him to bring down those final obstacles.

Finally.

Wielding Doomsday, the Apocalypse, in his hands, and wearing armor capable of devouring all that destruction, Rygar was becoming more and more familiar with his new strength.

As they moved farther and farther south, Rygar constantly collided with Vita and Badi.

Each collision changed the sky.

Sometimes, it was an explosion of purple flames against a golden aura. Other times, it was a silver line tearing through the clouds.

Even the casual breaking of the sound barrier was enough to cause disturbances wherever they passed. Three monsters disappearing and reappearing at different points on the horizon, leaving behind shockwaves that struck forests, rivers, hills, and distant villages.

At the beginning of the fight, Rygar was at a slight disadvantage. But that was only due to his lack of control over his new abilities.

Besides, his enemies were nothing that could be underestimated.

The Technique God Laplace, with his thousands of years of relentless training, combined with his race and unequaled talent, was still at the absolute peak in the field of martial arts.

In that aspect, Rygar still could not compare.

Perhaps the only one who could compete in pure skill was Orsted, who had had even more time to refine his arts.

But Rygar's level was still high enough for him to clearly see the Technique God in that field.

What he lacked was not talent, nor training.

It was time.

Even so, that was all.

Laplace was superior to Rygar in the field of martial arts.

Rygar was vastly superior in every other field, especially magic, which the Technique God could not even manipulate.

And, since Rygar had been able to unify his battle style, in an individual fight against Laplace, he would have an enormous advantage.

The same applied to Badigadi.

His vast battle experience, countless techniques, and the incomparable power of the Golden Armor allowed him to fight like a master of combat.

That, combined with his complete immortality, made him a walking calamity.

But against Rygar, who possessed power, experience, and battle techniques that were equally or even more lethal, that was not enough to win in an individual battle against the Beast God.

The only obstacle was that they were fighting together. The coordination of two combatants that powerful would be a serious threat to his life.

Rygar was not certain whether he would win or lose a fight against both of them at the same time.

That is...

Before Sköllvindr's final evolution.

Rygar swung his translucent blue blade as he cut through the heavens.

"Sun Purple Laceration!"

Purple flames concentrated around Doomsday and advanced like a tide of pure fire.

Laplace, instead of retreating or dodging, went straight toward the attack.

His silver spear thrust forward with such speed that its movements could not even be seen.

"Starry Sky Piercing."

The two collided in the air for the umpteenth time.

A white and bluish aura cut through the sea of concentrated purple flames.

But it could not do so completely.

Perhaps it could have before, but now, Rygar's flames contained divine energy.

The heat pierced even the invincible Touki of Dragon Laplace, making him experience an abrasive sensation that his body almost never needed to acknowledge.

Part of the aura around his spear trembled.

The edges of his clothing burned.

Even without a direct hit, the temperature touched his skin, threatening to incinerate his scales, Touki, and flesh all at once.

Laplace's expression darkened.

If that heat reached him even after he blocked the attack, a direct blow would be capable of piercing even the Battle Aura of the Technique God.

Rygar's golden eyes shone behind the black helmet.

In the next instant, the gravity between them distorted erratically on a large scale.

The orientation of the world changed for both of them.

Laplace's body was pulled to one side, and Rygar's to the other.

His spear suffered pressure in the opposite direction.

The air around them bent as if it were being twisted. Distant rocks tore free from the ground and rose into the sky. The trees below leaned, their roots snapping one after another.

Rygar felt that he was adapting quickly to his powers.

Very quickly.

And once he was familiar with them, he would be capable of defeating even the combination of those two.

In truth, he felt that he could already do it.

After a direct collision between Doomsday and Laplace's silver spear, the forests and waterfalls below trembled.

The impact descended to the ground like an invisible explosion.

Trees were torn away.

Rocks split apart.

The water from the waterfalls scattered into the air like white mist before falling again in violent waves over the destroyed forest.

Then Rygar once again became a streak of black light crossing the heavens.

But suddenly, the Fighter God appeared at his side.

Badigadi emerged without warning, as if he had come out of nowhere. The Golden Armor shone intensely in gold, and a devastating blow came together with his thunderous laughter.

"BWAHAHA!"

Once again, Rygar felt the annoyance of being unable to see Badigadi with his Demon Eyes.

It was a very troublesome detail to deal with in a battle of that level.

Against an ordinary enemy, it would not matter.

Against the Golden Armor, a single instant of delay would be problematic.

But even so, he was still Rygar.

With his instincts and his supernatural Sixth Sense, he was able to react perfectly, even with the Fighter God Armor possessing a powerful Secret Concealment Technique.

Rygar disappeared from his position using one of his most dangerous spells in battle.

Teleportation.

His location became unknown in the same instant Badigadi's strike swept through his previous position.

The air roared, and the clouds split apart.

Below them, the ground was swept by the pressure, opening a wide trail between the trees.

In the next moment, the golden arms of the Armor crossed upward, forming a triple defense.

Badigadi had noticed just in time.

Rygar appeared above him.

Doomsday was wrapped in countless lightning bolts of several colors, blue, red, and white.

"Thunder God's Hammer!"

A roar echoed through the heavens.

Rygar descended like a black lightning bolt, accompanied by violent thunder. The blow fell upon Badigadi with all the weight of the sky, of gravity, and of the divinity that now contaminated his power.

Even while blocking, the arms and several points of the Golden Armor's torso were destroyed by the impact.

The metal broke apart into shining, liquid fragments.

Part of the armor was also torn away with a roar, while Badigadi was violently launched toward the ground.

The fall crossed the sky in an instant, and soon pierced through the treetops.

Then it struck the forest.

A web of cracks formed in the terrain below. In the next instant, an enormous crater appeared with the Golden Armor at its center.

The shockwave covered several hundred meters. Trees were bent outward. Animals and monsters fled in panic before being swallowed by the dust.

The destruction spread in a circle, leaving at the center only the golden figure sunken into the ground.

Rygar could clearly feel the Technique God approaching again. That was the annoyance of fighting at a numerical disadvantage.

Even after knocking Badigadi down, Laplace was already upon him again.

The silver spear came from above, cutting through the sky, aiming for the interval between the end of Rygar's attack and his next movement.

But his goal now was not only to fight.

Because of the communicator integrated into his armor, Rygar knew everything that was happening in Begaritt.

Saint Milis.

That was a variable Rygar had a bad feeling about.

Probably Hitogami's final hidden card against him and Orsted.

Because of that, even while adapting, growing stronger, and fighting against the Fighter God and the Technique God, Rygar continued moving toward Begaritt.

Each exchange of blows carried them farther south.

Each exchange of blows was calculated not only to defeat them, but also to push the battle in the right direction.

The pace was so fast that a large part of the Central Continent had already been crossed during that fight.

Mountains, forests, and rivers were devastated by shockwaves and large-scale magic.

Distant villages saw only lights in the sky, thunder without storms, and the heat of flames that passed too far away to burn them directly.

But even though it was fast, it was still not enough.

Jino and Aisha would have to manage with what they had to hold back the powerful Saint for long enough.

While Rygar understood his divine power more and more and continued fighting, the Ever-White Desert took unpredictable directions at every moment.
