The battlefield fell completely silent.
Adrian halted his assault, his gaze fixing on the two-horned Demon Leader hovering in midair. Two blood-red wings sprouted from the demon’s back, beating rhythmically to keep him aloft.
"Tch... troublesome kid."
The Demon Leader idly tossed the green-haired boy’s severed head into the air, catching it with practiced ease. His eyes drifted over to the giant eyeball alien, which was oozing blue blood from its scattered pupils.
"Useless."
Without warning, the demon extended his open palm.
A heavy metallic spear tore through the air, hurtling straight toward him. The moment its tip reached his palm, it came to a dead halt. A thin layer of crimson blood covered the demon’s palm, forming a dense barrier that absorbed the full force of the blow.
The Demon Leader turned his gaze toward the frontlines.
A golden-haired man was strolling through the wreckage of the battlefield. His eyes burned with an intense, simmering fury.
"I kept warning the brat not to be careless again and again." The golden-haired man let out a tired sigh. "And now look at the result. He went and got himself killed."
He raised a hand to his forehead, rubbing his temples in frustration.
"How am I supposed to explain this to Lord Rizen now?"
Ignoring the chaos around him, the man walked right past Adrian. He came to a stop directly beneath the hovering demon and looked up into his eyes.
"My name is Oshu." His tone hardened. "I am known as the Ape God of the Rizen Group."
The Demon Leader stared down at him, unimpressed. "I am Zeltan, of the Abyssal Demon Army, under the leadership of Lord Kale Vormord."
Zeltan narrowed his eyes, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "But I must say, I am a little disappointed. I have heard quite a lot about the Rizen Group. But after hearing you introduce yourself... I have to ask. Aren’t you a little too arrogant to put a title like that in your name?"
Oshu didn’t flinch. "I don’t care about that."
His gaze shifted to the severed head resting in Zeltan’s grip, and his voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "But the head you are holding belongs to my teammate. I will separate your head from your body as a tribute to him."
Zeltan let out a dry laugh. "He should be honoured that he got to die by my hand." He held the head up slightly. "It proves that he was a strong warrior."
Oshu gritted his teeth, his jaw clenching as his anger boiled over. He took a heavy step forward.
"Then you should also feel honoured..." Oshu lifted his chin, his golden eyes locking onto the demon. "...when you die by my hands."
The instant the words left his mouth, a crushing pressure surged from his body.
The earth cracked beneath his boots. Dust, shattered stones, and debris blew outward in a violent wave, forcing nearby soldiers to shield their eyes. Even Adrian felt the air grow heavy and narrowed his eyes in shock.
"What...?"
Oshu’s golden hair whipped wildly as if caught in a storm.
A sharp crunch echoed across the field. His bones began to shift and expand. His shoulders broadened, and thick, dense muscle swelled beneath his skin. The terrifying sound of breaking and reforming bones vibrated through the air.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Coarse golden fur burst across his skin, starting at his forearms before sweeping over his broad shoulders and chest. Within seconds, thick golden hair covered him completely. His fingers lengthened, his nails sharpening into jagged black claws. His legs expanded into massive pillars capable of grinding solid rock into powder.
The transformation kept going. Ten feet. Eleven feet. Twelve feet.
With a final shockwave, the growth settled. A thirteen-foot-tall golden ape stood towering in the middle of the field.
The air around him seemed to tremble beneath the sheer physical pressure radiating from his body. His golden coat shimmered in the light, and his muscular frame radiated a suffocating presence. Yet despite the monster standing before them, his face still carried a sharp human intelligence. Unlike Bear and Atlas, whose transformations turned prevented them from talking , Oshu could talk .
He parted his jaws, his voice booming across the plain.
"Full Beast Transformation."
The tone was deep and heavy, yet every single word remained crystal clear.
Adrian stared in absolute awe. "So this is... The Ape God."
Oshu didn’t give him a second glance. His full attention was locked on Zeltan above.
"Bring out the equipment."
Far behind the frontlines, the towering fortress vehicle shuddered to life. Its heavy steel roof split open with a loud screech, and massive mechanical plates unfolded one after another.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Panicked soldiers scrambled out of the way as several oversized armor pieces detached from the vehicle and shot through the air toward Oshu.
One by one, the heavy components slammed against his towering body. Instead of bouncing off his fur, the armor plates unlatched and wrapped around him.
KACHUNK!
A massive breastplate clamped onto his chest.
KLANG!
Heavy steel guards locked around his thick forearms.
KRAK!
Plates of thick metal locked into place around his legs, forming a seamless suit of battle armor.
The fortress vehicle rocked back on its treads as a giant spear launched from its firing bay with a deafening blast. The oversized weapon tore through the air, whistling as it flew.
Oshu reached up and casually snatched it out of the sky. The massive spear looked almost like a toy in his clawed hand.
He slowly lowered the weapon, his bright golden eyes pinned on Zeltan. All trace of patience left his face, replaced by a cold, deadly focus.
He took a step forward.
BOOM.
The earth shattered beneath his foot.
He took another step.
BOOM.
Terrified soldiers scrambled backward to get out of his path.
Oshu lowered his center of gravity, pointing the tip of the heavy spear straight at the demon hovering in the air. His voice echoed like thunder across the field.
"Now... show me what an abyssal army member can do ."
Zeltan spread his red wings to their full length, his smirk returning wider than before.
"Finally." Crimson mist oozed from his skin as his blood began to circulate rapidly through his body. "this show is going to end ."
