Azhdaha was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.
In an instant, a colossal ice sphere appeared directly above him, its surface crackling with fierce purple lightning.
BOOM!!!!!
Empowered by thunder, the ice sphere hurtled at exaggerated speed toward the massive meteorite descending from the heavens.
Yet, contrary to expectation, the ice sphere shattered instantly into dust.
This outcome, however, was entirely within Azhdaha's calculations. Following the ice sphere came a rock sphere, once again imbued with thunder, which slammed into the meteorite.
But the impacts of both ice and rock spheres inflicted no damage on Planet Befall, which continued its terrifying descent with overwhelming force.
Like a madman, Azhdaha summoned countless colossal spheres from behind, hurling them one after another against it. His fierce assault only slowed Planet Befall's fall slightly.
As the moment of collision approached, Azhdaha poured all his power into forming five elemental shields.
The outermost layer glowed golden, the power of Geo. Next came Hydro, Cryo, and Pyro. The innermost shield was Electro.
BOOM!!!!!!!!
The meteorite struck without fail, instantly smashing the Geo and Hydro shields. The Cryo barrier held for just two seconds before shattering completely.
The Pyro shield proved much stronger, holding out for ten full seconds before bursting apart.
Soon, only the final layer of Electro remained around Azhdaha.
"How could I possibly be taken down in one blow!" Azhdaha stomped the earth, drawing more Electro from the Ley Lines to strengthen the shield.
Purple thunder burst from the barrier, dyeing half the sky violet.
But Planet Befall had already reached its climax. Next came detonation!
The black seal containing its power shattered in an instant, releasing a blinding golden light.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
The light consumed everything.
Long after the shockwaves subsided and the brightness faded, the sight before them was Azhdaha sprawled on the ground—like a colossal mountain toppled to one side.
Morax's pupils contracted in shock.
"Brother, you didn't blow Azhdaha to death, did you!?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? I know my limits." Elliot rapped him on the head.
Soon, the fallen Azhdaha stirred. Using pillars of Geo, he pushed himself upright.
Azhdaha shook his dazed head. When his gaze fell on Elliot again, the respect already in his eyes now carried something new.
Submission.
Azhdaha was completely subdued by Elliot.
He had never imagined such a powerful god could exist—one who could completely overwhelm him with just a single Geo strike. And Elliot's strength wasn't desperate or reckless; it was calm, controlled, effortless.
"I've lost. I admit it wholeheartedly," Azhdaha conceded.
"Hahahahaha! What did I say? Big Brother would take you down in one move."
Seeing someone stronger than himself brought low by Elliot, Morax was ecstatic—happier than if he'd won himself.
After all, his own victories only proved his strength. But watching someone he couldn't beat get crushed by Elliot—that was deeply satisfying.
Though it might feel like the pot calling the kettle black, Morax couldn't suppress the rush of delight rising in his chest.
"Your Majesty… may I ask, were you not using your full power just now?" Azhdaha ignored Morax's taunts and pressed Elliot.
"Of course not. That was only the medium version of Planet Befall. The large one… you couldn't withstand it. Neither could this entire region. It might even carve out another Chasm." Elliot shrugged casually.
At those words, Azhdaha's heart trembled. His gaze toward Elliot grew deeply complicated. He even began to suspect that Elliot was the one who had blown apart his home in the past. Thankfully, his family had dug deep enough, and the meteorite hadn't reached them.
Morax, meanwhile, was utterly dumbfounded. He stared at Elliot, blinking rapidly, unable to process the meaning of that statement.
That thing just now was only medium-sized????
Morax had thought that was Elliot's strongest Planet Befall. To think it was only a medium one!
Then the large version of Planet Befall…
The thought sent a chill down Morax's spine, instantly killing any notion of defeating Elliot.
Earlier, he'd still dreamed that after mastering Planet Befall, All Things Move, he could spar with him. But what Elliot had just revealed crushed that thought instantly.
This wasn't even about whether he could learn it—it was about not having anywhere near enough divine power to use it!
"I'm heading back. Whether you two want to spar again or do whatever, that's up to you."
With those words, Elliot vanished from sight.
