Confrontation Of Gods!

"Give it up," the old man's voice echoed from the severed head lying on the ground. His tone was calm, almost pitying, as he continued to try to dissuade Harry. "The power we've accumulated is so vast that even if you continue transforming like this, it won't make a difference."

It was as if his body was on the edge of self-destruction, but it stubbornly fought to remain whole. Still, each time the wounds healed, there was an unsettling sense of inevitability about the situation. The body could only take so much.
