Apocalypse Cheater-Chapter 268: Fighting against an Immortal

[: 3rd POV :]

The clash began in an instant.

The Immortal raised his hand, and divine light surged forth, bathing the battlefield in radiant fire.

It was not just heat — it was the judgment of the heavens, a purging force meant to cleanse entire civilisations.

But Daniel's Void rose like a tidal wave, devouring the light, leaving behind only the echo of its fury.

Shock flickered in the Immortal's eyes for the first time in centuries.

Daniel shot forward, the ground fracturing beneath his feet.

His fist collided with divine energy, the resulting shockwave obliterating mountains in the distance and tearing the skies open.

They exchanged a flurry of blows that shattered space, each strike shaking the very foundation of the world.

The cultivators could only watch from afar, paralysed — not by choice, but by the sheer gravity of power unfolding before them.

It was like watching gods wage war.

Then came the turning point.

Daniel, blood trailing from his lip, raised both arms and channelled his deepest reserves.

He restricted most of his powers as he wanted to test his void physique ability.

The Void answered his call, not as a tool, but as an extension of his will.

Tendrils of cosmic nothingness coiled around him, taking the form of a black star.

"You've faced mortals and kings," Daniel growled. "Now face death."

The black star pulsed once, twice — then detonated.

A silent explosion, beautiful and horrifying, swallowed light, sound, even time in its radius.

When the shock faded, the Immortal hovered midair, robes tattered, eyes wide. One arm hung limp, scorched by the Void's touch.

"You—" he began. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Daniel floated opposite him, untouched, eyes glowing with ancient fury. "You don't belong here."

The sky cracked under the weight of divinity as Daniel launched forward, no longer shrouded by Void but now clad in a different force entirely—one far more primal.

His form shifted, not just physically but spiritually, as he activated, 'Devourer of Worlds'

An ancient ability that grants the transformation of a forbidden creature.

Daniel's body grew larger, and he was no longer a human at this moment.

He became a creature known as Fenrir with his fangs dripping with an energy older than time.

Daniel's body swelled with power.

His eyes burned gold, and his skin pulsed with the rhythm of ancient chaos.

The Immortal reeled back, brows furrowed. "This... this is no mere transformation. What are... who are you!?"

The immortal couldn't believe what he was looking at.

A colossal body with greyish due that speaks of the chaos that it contained within and fangs that could perhaps even devour time itself.

"Who am I...?'' Daniel growled.

''I am the extinction you forgot to fear," Daniel answered.

Even his voice had made a crack in the dimension around them as though the voice of Fenrir was forbidden to be heard.

With a mighty leap, he closed the distance.

The air cratered beneath his step.

Raising his paw, now empowered with Incalculable Force, a kind of skill that grants unparalleled strength.

It crashed into the Immortal's barrier.

The shield splintered like glass, sending shockwaves across the atmosphere.

Mountains split and rivers reversed.

The air grew heavy as time itself seemed to recoil from the sheer impact.

The Immortal grunted, throwing up a wall of celestial sigils.

Lightning carved from constellations shot down from the heavens, striking Daniel—but he walked through it.

Charred marks healed instantly, flesh knitting together in real-time.

Indomitable Regeneration refused to let him falter.

"Enough!" the Immortal thundered.

"Heavenly Chains!"

Golden chains emerged from the Immortal's palm, imbued with judgment of Heaven.

They lashed out, wrapping around Daniel's limbs, siphoning spiritual energy in hopes of neutralising him.

But Daniel grinned.

"So you want to play with chains, huh? Then it's my turn."

With a flick of his mind, Chains of Chaos erupted from the ground.

Black and red, pulsating with entropy, they entwined the Immortal mid-cast.

For five seconds, the balance tipped.

The Immortal's divine strength, speed, perception everything dropped to 1%.

Daniel did not hesitate.

He launched with Fenrir's skill, Absolute Destruction, his limb shrouded in a crimson aura that corroded everything it touched.

With one dab of his paw, he broke through the Immortal's ribcage, sending him hurtling into the mountain range behind.

The mountain didn't break. It vanished.

A moment of silence.

The cultivators and the seniors were sweating profusely as they knew that the fight wasn't in their favour against the immortal.

It was a one-sided battle.

Despite receiving such an attack, the Immortal emerged, blood trailing down his chin, armour cracked.

"You're powerful," he admitted, eyes blazing.

"But I have faced beings 'stronger' than you. I will not be undone by a mortal."

The immortal declared as he weaved signs where golden inscriptions formed in the air.

The Immortal unleashed "Heaven's Grand Mandate!"

A golden spear formed that contained the law of heaven's and it surged toward Daniel with blinding speed.

But Daniel didn't panic as he whispered, "Trickster Eyes"

All of a sudden, reality fractured, and to the Immortal's eyes, Daniel had vanished.

The battlefield had changed, and even the spear had disappeared.

He now stood amidst a galaxy torn by war, surrounded by echoes of his past—former comrades, enemies he had slain, the screams of entire planets reduced to ruin. Illusions so precise, they rewrote sensation.

"W-What is this!" The immortal panicked as he had never encountered such a situation before.

He had countless experiences with illusions, but never this real.

On the other hand, Daniel reappeared behind him, calm and composed.

"Everything you see, feel, hear, and experience will once again be shown."

With his fangs, he bit into the Immortal's spine and raised his jaws upwards.

"Ugh!" The immortal moaned in pain as he never thought that his Physique of Golden Body could easily be pierced.

"R-Releaae me, you monster!" The immortal screamed in pain.

But his words weren't something that Daniel would listen to.

As the Immortal screamed in pain, Daniel raised his head and roared.

"Howl of Ragnarok"

The very air screamed in agony.

The sound split the atmosphere, evaporated clouds, and at the same time, the 'clouds' above them looked unhappy.

On the other hand, the Immortal's eardrums burst, his vision warped, and the divine energy around him began to unravel.

The howl travelled far, shaking continents. It was not a sound; it was judgment, death, finality.

Still, the Immortal endured.

He reformed his armour mid-air, igniting "Heaven's Bloom", an advanced cultivation art that cloaked him in flames harvested from dying stars.

He managed to release himself from the grasp of Daniel's fangs, and he descended like a meteor, blade in hand, carving through space.

Daniel met him head-on.

The clash was cataclysmic.

Both forces rippled outward, tearing open dimensional seams. Trees for miles were uprooted, oceans surged, and the sky darkened.

Daniel absorbed the blow, using Devourer of Worlds to siphon the stellar energy fueling the Immortal.

Fenrir's jaw emerged once more, snapping at the divine flames.

The Immortal broke free, panting, now bleeding golden ichor with his aura dimmed.

Daniel raised his paws, and energy collected there, black-red and molten.

"This ends now."

The ground beneath him split into concentric rings, each rune glowing with destructive intent.

"Absolute Destruction: Final Rend"

He hurled the sphere forward.

The Immortal, battered but resolute, countered with "Spiritual Aegis" and "Reversal Step" to dodge and block.

The collision made the world hold its breath.

The explosion was without light or sound.

A sphere of annihilation that devoured soundwaves and photons.

It expanded, then collapsed inward, taking the remnants of the battlefield with it.

When the dust cleared, Daniel stood alone.

A crater the size of a city surrounded him.

The Immortal lay at the centre, breathing—barely. Half of his body was gone.

His divine body flickered.

Daniel approached slowly with his transformation undone.

The Immortal looked up, pain in his eyes. "Why...? Why are you this strong? What are you?"

Daniel knelt beside him.

"Why am I this strong? It's simply because you are weak. You came to claim a world, but you found me instead."

The Immortal coughed, ichor staining his lips. "Kill me, then."

Daniel paused, his eyes cold.

"No. You will live. You will return and tell the Alliance what happened here. Tell them what awaits should they step foot on this planet again."

"You...You will regret this later on..." The immortal frowned his eyes as he was in disbelief.

He didn't know what Daniel was thinking about letting him go, but this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to gather his force and kill Daniel.

He discovered that Daniel was an abnormal being, someone that shouldn't exist or even appear on a low-tier planet.

Moreover, it's even more unbelievable that a Transcendent being like Daniel could defeat an immortal like him.

He wonders what kind of secrets he holds, which is why he wishes to gather enough manpower so that he can kill Daniel and uncover his secrets.crets

Eventually, the Immortal and the cultivators vanished through a dimensional gate.

Silence reclaimed the battlefield.

Daniel stood still for a moment, then he looked up at the sky, where the stars began to return.

The war was not over.

But today, Daniel had proven that even Immortals bleed.
