The moment Sylas wasn't using the Scorned Wraps so heavily anymore, it was like a heavy mountain sitting right on top of his Will vanished.
It flooded out in pools of emerald and gold into the surroundings.
The pressure his arm was under was tremendous, but over 90% of it was held up by his telekinesis alone.
Sylas took deep, slow breaths.
So, this was what it meant to be a God?
The suppression of a world wasn't simple. The Real World hated Demons, and the Demon World hated existences of the Real World. If a suppression was taking place, it was always upwards of 90% or more.
This was especially so when it was deemed as interference in something particularly important.
Sylas had never faced Demon World Suppression because he had Demonic Will, so he hadn't even known how bad it would be until he saw it himself. His conservative estimate had been 50%.
If it really had been 50%, maybe he would already be dead. Meikai was truly a monster.
Unfortunately, he had no interest in losing today or ever, for that matter.
Sylas' arm moved. With a shift, he pinned Meikai's tail under his armpit and roared, lifting her up as though he couldn't feel the nuclear energy ripping into his cells and eating him alive from the inside out.
He stood tall and proud, leaping into the air and pulling her right over his shoulder.
He didn't pull on the Scorned Wrap at this moment. He comprehended that Meikai would sense it and slip out in time. That wasn't what he wanted.
BOOM.
Meikai's body was imprinted into the ground, but it vibrated once and everything of substance around her was eradicated as though a solar flare had passed by.
She ripped herself out and practically formed her snaking body into a spear as she thrust upward to meet Sylas' fist.
BOOM.
The air rocked and swayed under their collision.
Both separated and then rushed forward once again.
They completely forgot about the battle going on around them. In fact, every blow between the two seemed to wipe out another large segment of the Azurex, even some of the D-tiers that had followed after Meikai.
It was clear that Meikai was on a level all her own.
But so was Sylas.
Streaking emerald and green met against solar flares of silver and blue. The violent uprising in the skies looked more like a battle of Heavens themselves rather than two living beings.
At some point, they both forgot entirely about skills and dexterity. They met again and again. One tiny human clashing against the waves of a God Beast who stood taller than skyscrapers and roared with the violence of a star in her belly.
BOOM.
Sylas landed on the ground with a shockwave, his knees bending as a pulse of golden light came from his crown of horns. His hair danced in the air.
'Okay,' he thought silently to himself as though deciding that about this much... was enough.
Sylas slapped his palms together and the Life Seal materialized. It separated out into countless iterations, almost like a single circle had been separated into millions of pieces and then stratified.
The layers exploded like a nebula and Sylas put his arms through them.
