the comeback is real

He bashed on my barrier, it almost broke so I dashed backward. He suddenly appeared in front of me again so I summoned a beam beside him and it hit. Then it just disappeared. He stabbed on my chest while laughing maniacally. It hurts, is it the sword? Or is it the curse the sword has been imbued? Black flames appeared on the sword and the wound began to feel like it was burning. But I won't allow myself to die.

"[{<¦just give up will ya?!¦>}]"

I summoned a longsword on my right hand and sliced his head. He easily countered it with a barrier on his right side. Before it hit the barrier, however, I teleported the sword and put it on his left side. And with the leftover momentum, it rushed to his head.

He stopped it with the barrier. He wished he could control the energy, I won't allow him. I added extra dimensions to that sword to prevent him from controlling it.

I grabbed his head with my hands. He tried to teleport away, but I denied him that by compressing space using space manipulation. That way, every coordinate he teleports to will always be in my grasp.

He tried to use to deny what happened, but I didn't let him. I already figured it out. It might be really hard. But it is possible. I sent the command released to the point in time where time no longer exists.

Yes, the reality denial of that sword is the most powerful. It can override every command including its own. It is invincible. However, the spell [control] is far more powerful. It made me think it was not fully omnipotent. While it may be omnipotent, but I can make the effects decay. That's when I decided to test something.

I kept sending the commands to where time doesn't exist. And while the effects may not disappear and will eventually cover the entire world. I had to use such an advanced space manipulation technique to guard the point where we were.

I can only delay its effects.

I have to make this quick.

He gritted his teeth and began to shake his body to try to remove my hands from his head. I tried to summon blades around me, but it just got destroyed in an instant. Nevertheless, I still tried to summon them.

I felt my left eye, left arm, 3 fingers of my right hand, right leg, and my jaw removed from my body. It hurt, and I can't regenerate them yet. So I just used magic to make my limbs made out of pure mana. To act as a limb while I try to remove the curse. So that is how he is destroying all of those blades I summoned. He just inflated his power using law manipulation.

He has become weaker-. Not being hit is now his main objective. He has now used most of his law manipulation to destroy the blades in an instant and to send slashing strikes on me.

I didn't stop to summon blades, but they never came. So I just cast a spell on my hands meant to cause pain. It didn't affect him at all. I changed the spell I was casting to pure information. I don't know anything that will hinder him except information. It may be minimal, but it will help.

The barrier he set up to protect him against the blade still rushing towards his head is now deteriorating. I summoned magic circles around us to blast at him, while he responded the same.

His spells still pack a punch, so I set up small barriers to where I predict the trajectory will go. However, that is the difference between us. He can't afford to use precious mana on barriers to protect him from blasts. He just, let them hit him.

Of course, I can't let him die since he will just escape this situation. I put a command on the blasts to not kill him and only to damage him.

Suddenly, horns came out of his body. They pierced my body. Everybody I have except my soul is dead. So I possessed my physical body with my soul and continued the fight.

The barrier is rapidly breaking. He got desperate.

I saw a portal behind him, and a harpoon came rushing at us. It pierced the back of his head. No, it phased through, and it came reaching for my forehead. It hit me. But I didn't die, he can't afford to use mana on curses. The portal moved behind me and began to pull me away from him. I didn't let go. I felt the fire burning me away, but I countered it by regenerating so fast.

"[{<¦tch¦>}]"

The barrier broke.

The sword rushed for his head.

The temperature rose to an all-time high. Space began to warp much more abnormally than before. I protected the sword from melting. A third arm appeared on his body and grabbed my face. A horn appeared on the palm of his hand and pierced my face. But I didn't let go.

The sword began to move much more slowly than before. I can't keep up protecting the sword.

I can finally revive all of my bodies. I cut off both of my arms and decreased my Y level. The sword finally melted. I summoned brass knuckles on my right hand and delivered a jab. But, the brass knuckles melted just before it hit his stomach. I punched a hole right through him. I didn't mean to kill him, but he multiplied the effects and cursed himself to die. He killed his concept.

He removed his concept

He made himself not exist

He disappeared

Looking at my surroundings, I saw him above me regenerating with a now new concept.

Harpoons appeared everywhere and it pierced me. I just let it pierced me to die.

I revived myself above him and landed a kick. But si only kicked the empty void, he already teleported away. I got pierced on my stomach and I died again.

I revived again to where he was, now not above him but behind him. I blasted his back but it disappeared. He teleported to a far distance between us to talk. He clapped and laughed maniacally.

"[{<¦that was a lucky shot! It seems won't be much of a use right now hmm? No- it will still be of use since your law manipulation and space manipulation are so weak. Of course, I can't stop you from delaying the effects. But I can tire you out by keeping using . ¦>}]"

I felt so many effects. Infinite of them in an instant, all to kill me. I began to have difficulty in delaying them. He pointed at me and it all went black. I died getting slashed, and of course, I revived behind him and stabbed his back. But the blade melted just before it could hit him.

I got hit by a spell on my head and it blasted my skull. I teleported away and slowly regenerated. I threw a blade at him but it disappeared instantly

"[{<¦I won't allow the same mistake that I did just recently!¦>}]"

He is destroying them in an instant I summon them.

He summoned and turned it into a longsword. He dashed towards me and I caught the blade on the palm of my right hand. I teleported just behind him and delivered a karate chop on his neck. He easily blocked it with a barrier. He turned around, let go off the sword and we began to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

He summoned a huge magic circle for us to stand on and we began to try and strike each other. I tried to kick his legs but he just easily predicted it and set up a small barrier to prevent my foot from hitting him.

I am no expert in hand-to-hand combat, but for me, muay Thai will work the best. While, he is using all known martial arts. We were fighting both in muay Thai, but he suddenly turned to jiu jitsu the moment he found an opening. He grappled me to the ground and 2 extra arms appeared on his body. He began to choke me and apply curses. I tried to kick his ribs but it didn't bother him.

I kept trying to teleport away but he easily stopped me from teleporting. I just gave up my defenses and got myself killed

I revived besides him and launched a jab at his face. He tried to teleport away, but I denied him the ability to teleport by messing with space. The jab landed and he was launched away towards the void.

The brass knuckles I summoned instantly broke. This is bad, without it I can't neutralize his threat.

I teleported towards him at a higher height. While he, who was knocked towards the barrier dad set up was still trying to comprehend what just happened, or was waiting for me.

I combined my hands and struck his head with a double hammer fist move. It knocked him downwards. I blasted him with a few spells which did nothing to him and teleported to a place to intercept him. I used my knee to kick his chest, but he predicted it already. He stopped my kick with a barrier and instantly teleported away the moment he got the chance.

He teleported in front of me, grabbed my face, and began to cast a spell to kill me. It hurt, but I can't die yet.

I died, that was unfortunate.

I revived myself just below him and attempted to kick him, but he just easily teleported away and I got assaulted by a barrage of harpoons. I set up a small barrier and barely stopped them. The harpoons changed their trajectory and came rushing to me again.

So I blasted the harpoons with a huge spell but they still came rushing for me. I teleported away, but after teleporting away, I again was teleported, not by me, but by him. He forcefully teleported me to his hands and crushed my throat.

I didn't allow myself to die, so I survived. But he grabbed my shirt and threw me into the void. After which he opened more portals and pierced me with harpoons. I survived, and then another portal appeared. Fire came out of the portal like a jet and killed me.

I revived myself behind him but he teleported again. I thought of a new plan. Perhaps it would work, but probably not due to his omniscience. He may not know what will happen in the future, but he will immediately know everything that is happening in the present. But, it wouldn't hurt to try.

I decided to just focus on his physical body and not on everywhere else. I pointed my finger and began constructing a new attack. Using space manipulation, I held my hand towards him and built a small attack to destroy the space it travels infinitely.

In theory, if space gets destroyed, it will instantly repair itself infinitely. However, that causes things in that space to move towards the destroyed space to mend it. However, if I destroy space infinitely, it will keep moving my target towards the attack.

I launched my attack and the distance between us closed in an instant. With my free hand, I stabbed his face with my fingers, but he cut off my arm just before I could pierce his brain. I regenerated my arm and tried to control the arm that was still lodged in his face. But it just burned away and he regenerated instantly. I grabbed his hair and his shoulders to try to decapitate him, but it only pulled his hair away from his head and pushed him away from me.

He stopped himself from being pushed away from me with a magic circle he cast just behind him. In return, I threw his hair back at him with a few added defenses and curses, and with the momentum of the hair, broke the magic circle, and blasted him away from me towards the edge of the barrier.

I teleported to his right side but I lost control of my physical body. He turned my mass into energy using the e=mc^2 formula, and while left defenseless, killed me by destroying my concept with an attack he made on my soul.

However, I gave a command to my soul to not fully die yet. I revived myself near him, made a knife out of magic, and tried to stab his head. He easily stopped it with a barrier. My supposed dead soul regenerated and revived all of my bodies. I now have 2 main ones.

""

I heard him mutter in confusion about what had happened. I prevented him from teleporting away and in the midst of the confusion, my clone stabbed his right lung with my fingers and destroyed his concept.

That almost worked, if only my weapons would appear even for a moment. But what I discovered was that when I killed him, the weapons appeared for an instant before they broke due to him reviving.

I killed my clone since it was of no use to me anymore and would only be a liability. I enhanced my hands and grabbed the blade aiming for my throat. He has already revived himself easily. I sliced the air with my hands, but he just kicked himself away from me by kicking a magic circle to thrust himself away.

I followed him, but I felt the commands the sword has come to this point. I died in an excruciating pain. This went on for a while where I just get instantly killed the moment I revived myself. That was until I could finally block the commands again, and that was by dying 3 thousand and 3 times.

We suddenly decided to stop our fight for a while to chat with one another. We stood in a magic circle in an equal height. Or should I say equal footing since he is far shorter than me.

"[{<¦You can't win Jared, you see how powerful my regenerative ability is and how strong my revival is.¦>}]"

"There is a huge difference between us. You must absolutely try to win a decisive fight to survive. While I can never lose one, I will merely lose the opportunity to win a decisive battle. I can do this forever."

He lost his smile, he must've known already that this situation is hopeless for him.

"what are you even getting out of this? Just give up Ash. You can't win. Are you really doing this to just set up a perfect religion? No, there must be more."

""

""

"then those who cannot be better dies?"

he nodded with a smile

""

He asked with confusion. He summoned on his right hand and stabbed his head with it. I knew it, he definitely forced himself to forget about it.

""

He pulled away from his head and regenerated it

"what if our parents are right then? what if you were wrong"

he smiled with glee

""

He thrusted himself towards me and swung at my right side hoping to slice me. I essily teleported away and sent a barrage of spells at him. Portals opened everywhere and harpoons came rushing at me.

I teleported away from the barrage of harpoons and sent a beam of magic towards Ash. He just ignored it and let it hit him. I teleported away again to escape the harpoons. I teleported again, and again, until he forcefully teleported me into his hands. He grabbed my face and let us both get impaled by the harpoons. But the harpoons just phased through him.

He was expecting me to die, but I didn't. I exploded my body which only melted his arm off, but it was enough. I kicked myself off him, but in return he kicked me in the head. He set up a barrier around us to prevent me from escaping. I suddenly found an opening to teleport. For me it was a fraction of a zeptosecond. But for him it was a tenth of a attosecond. His brain is now slower than mine. I took the chance to teleport to his side and landed a jab at his head with my right hand. I felt his brain while punching him.

Using my left hand, I held out my hand towards him and sent a huge burst of mana which incinerated him. But it didn't kill him. He regenerated behind me, but I quickly spun my body, and using my backhand, slapped him which damaged his head.

I was then able to summon weapons once more. I grabbed his shirt and tried to slice his forehead. However he let go off his defences and burned due to the amount of energy we are in. I missed and got punched by his soul in the jaw. I felt my jaw crack and was sent flying. I expected the barrier to catch me but he deactivated it, dashed forwards to catch me while regenerating his physical body.

He inevitably catched me and sliced my head off. He teleported away incase if I die. But I didnt die, I tried regenerating my soul and head but I got blasted by a spell he cast upon noticing I didn't die yet.

I tried to exist without a concept, but I just died. So that failed, I revived myself above him, and tried to stomp him. A magic circle stopped me from hitting his head, and with the magic circle a spell was cast that blasted me away from him.

My altitude rose by 3 kilometers. I stopped myself from being knocked further by setting a magic circle. I was planning to thrust myself at him with all my speed but decided not to when he summoned something. It was pure white, it was his soul made into a staff. He multiplied his soul infinitely!

He compressed his 3d soul into a single line making it 1 dimension. And with it, infinites more of his soul get compressed to make a 2 dimensional staff made out of his soul. And with it, infinites of 2 dimensions are added to make the staff 3 dimensional. What is he planning to do with it?

He pointed the staff at me, and at an immeasurable speed a blast came at me. I couldn't stop it. It was both fast and strong.
