Lucifer simply shrugged casually. "No big deal. Although Amenadiel is a bit more annoying than I am, he is still my brother."
Lance's eyes twitched, his confusion becoming more apparent. He stared at Amenadiel—the tall black man with a divine aura that felt like physical pressure, an intimidating aura. Then, Lance shifted his gaze to Lucifer, the pale man with a flamboyant appearance. "He... is your brother?"
"Of course," Lucifer replied confidently, nodding his head firmly. "Siblings. Same father and mother."
Lance fell silent, his mind spinning.
Heavenly genetics are indeed remarkable, Lance thought. Same father, same mother, and the result... a very different edition.
Gods are indeed all-powerful... Wait a minute.
Is it possible... for a dark-skinned God?
Morgan Freeman?
Yes, yes... now everything is starting to make sense.
"Prepare the reward, see you later!" Lance dismissed his drifting thoughts about the color of the God's skin. Lucifer waved his hand quickly, as if wanting to dispel Lance's worries and immediately set off to chase after Amenadiel, who had vanished from Lance's sight.
Compared to the calm yet humble Lucifer, his dark-skinned brother was very arrogant. Amenadiel, who was reluctant to fight in the mirror dimension, chose instead to fly far into the Pacific Ocean, leaving a desolate and sparsely populated place.
"Mortal," Amenadiel's voice echoed in the air, heavy and authoritative. "Among all the human sorcerers I have ever seen, you have become one of the best. But never dare to provoke a noble angel, especially a high-status archangel like me!" Amenadiel hovered in the air, holy light flowing gracefully, as if wrapping his body in pure light.
The sacred spear was engulfed in light, its sharp tip aimed directly at Lance.
Under the cool and soothing moonlight, the spear's tip shimmered with a bluish-white flash, creating ripples like electricity that radiated a mysterious wonder.
"Destroy it, Kyōka Suigetsu!" Lance's eyes remained calm, not the slightest bit disturbed. With an elegant motion, he swept his hair back from his forehead and spoke those words with conviction. "From the very beginning, no one has truly stood in the heavens—neither you, nor I, not even the Gods—one day, I will stand at the top!"
"Shameless human!" Amenadiel shouted angrily. "Even though we received the command from God not to kill humans on this earth, I will still teach you a lesson!" With a snarl, Amenadiel thrust the sacred spear into the air.
With a loud explosion, the beam of light shot swiftly toward Lance.
Unlike the bright red light Lance had seen before, this time, the light was more threatening, not only in quantity but also in quality. Each particle of light seemed filled with the power to destroy anything in its path.
With quick reflexes, Lance's eyes emitted white light, and in an instant, an invisible spiritual wall formed around his body. The wall reflected the incoming light at high speed.
Like a jet of water from a fire hose crashing against a transparent wall, the beam of light spread rapidly in all directions as soon as it touched the Reiatsu Wall. A vast wave of energy formed a large vortex, spreading at an incredible speed until it reached every corner within a hundred-mile radius.
However, although the spiritual wall was strong enough to withstand a high-energy spiritual entity, it was not strong enough to stop the column of light from this particular archangel.
With a loud impact, the spiritual pressure wall shattered instantly, like breaking glass, and Lance's body was thrown back hundreds of meters. Where Lance struck a small island behind him, he ultimately fell into the deep sea with rolling waves.
As Lucifer's brother, Amenadiel was indeed no less formidable. Although slightly smaller than Lucifer, Amenadiel still possessed immense strength, evident from the destructive power of his attack.
However, the blow he delivered was still far from enough to defeat Lance. "This level is not enough!" Lance hissed, his eyes sharply assessing the battlefield.
Whisper!
The silver-white figure stepped lightly, as if walking on air. The silence was tense, only broken by the almost inaudible sound of his footsteps.
Before Amenadiel, Lance's expression remained calm and unchanged, as before—like a storm approaching, but there were no signs of anxiety on Lance's face. Lance's Zanpakuto was raised high, glimmering under the fractured sunlight, and with one swift motion, Lance slashed toward Amenadiel.
Explosion!
Amenadiel's black spear struck, meeting the slash of the Zanpakuto with a resonating sound, creating a wave of power that spread through the air. The pressure from the impact was so great that Amenadiel's body nearly got thrown back, as if there was no place for Amenadiel's soul power to withstand.
However, despite his body swaying violently, Amenadiel managed to stabilize himself, driving his spear deeper into the ground, and smiled coldly. "Don't get too complacent, human!" Amenadiel said, his voice full of threat yet still calm.
In the next moment, the sacred spear in Amenadiel's hand spun in the air, scattering thousands of golden lights that exploded like fireworks. Each spark of light was a manifestation of countless divine powers, each aimed at Lance with deadly precision.
"Haha, this is fun!" Lance laughed, a bright smile on his face. Lance's movements were so swift, his figure darting between countless lights and shadows, as if he completely mastered that space.
However, one thing was not visible: Lance was not using Kyōka Suigetsu's hypnotic ability. As a being from a higher dimension, the effects of hypnosis on him would be significantly weaker, if not entirely nonexistent. That technique, which would be deadly to most opponents, had almost no effect on him.
Lance knew that this time he would not rely on that trick.
He wasn't even planning to use soul techniques or more advanced magic. This time, Lance chose a simpler path.
The most basic close-combat skills.
Cutting.
Shunpo.
Reiatsu.
Lance wanted to use this battle to hone his skills, sharpening his sword, until... until he could achieve Kyōka Suigetsu Bankai. That was Lance's main goal, and this time, with only physical strength and combat precision, he intended to conquer Amenadiel.
