Chapter 61: Colossal Showdown! The Giant Mech vs. The Giant Fallen Angel!

"Vmmmmm—"

The moment Lucien disappeared,

A golden teleportation circle suddenly flashed on the ground.

From within, Agumon's voice rang out.

"Lucien doesn't have a suitable weapon right now."

"One of you, toss an Excalibur into the portal."

"In that case, I'll use mine."

Jeanne stepped forward, extending her sacred sword.

This Excalibur wasn't originally hers.

It was a projected copy created by Archer.

So, it made sense to give it away.

With a swift motion,

She tossed the golden blade into the teleportation circle.

Inside Agumon's "Mirror Space"—

Lucien's figure materialized within the secluded battlefield.

The moment he laid eyes on the Sea Dragon Beast,

A familiar system notification popped up.

[Ding!~]

[Villainous Sign-In Triggered!]

[Sign-In Grade: GOLD]

[Sign-In Type: Location-Based Sign-In]

[Sign-In Requirement: Simultaneously touch both "Prelati's Spellbook" & "The Golden Fleece."]

"Just as we suspected."

Lucien narrowed his eyes.

"This monster is a hybrid abomination."

The Sea Dragon Beast had merged with The Golden Fleece—

Granting it draconic traits and vastly enhanced defenses and attack power.

And before the World's Will had been expelled,

It had infused Outer God energy into this beast.

Even adding a fragment of its own power—

To create this monstrosity.

"Alaya… You really went all out, huh?"

Lucien let out a cold chuckle.

The World's Will, after being cut off,

Had decided this world was no longer worth keeping.

"Fine by me."

Lucien's golden eyes flashed.

"If you don't want this world—" "Then I'll take it for myself!" [Welsh-Dragon-Balance-Breaker!]

[Forbidden Move! "Boosted Gear Scale Mail"!]

The Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet manifested instantly,

And Lucien's armor rapidly equipped itself.

However—

Even Balance Breaker wasn't enough.

Not against this monstrosity.

[Enemy Analysis]

[Name: Outer God Apostle - World's Will Creation - Sea Dragon Beast (Genderless)][Level: Lv249 + 30 (Beyond Demon King Limits!)]

[Attribute Evaluation](Stats reflect strength within the same level.)

[Strength: B → B+] [Speed: D → C+] [Magic Power: C → C+] [Physical Durability: A → A+] [Combat Skill / Magic Proficiency: C](Originally a mindless fusion of chaotic forces. Lacks refined technique, but after fusing with Alaya's power, it has gained basic intelligence and battle instincts.)

[Sacred Gear / Bloodline Abilities: SS]

Originally, the Sea Dragon Beast was only around High-Class Devil Peak in strength. But after fusing with "The Golden Fleece," it gained draconic traits and immense power. Then, using "Prelati's Spellbook," it summoned the Madness of an Outer God—strengthening its abilities and regeneration. And finally, after merging with the World's Will, even Excalibur struggles to damage it.

This is an absolute catastrophe-level monster.

[Overall Rating: Demon King Class (But Breaking Through the Limits!)] "An abominable fusion of Outer God energy and the World's Will." "A true world-ending disaster." "The greatest challenge isn't just defeating it—" "It's ensuring it can never regenerate again."

Lucien's expression sharpened.

"This one's going to be tough."

"...But it's not unwinnable."

[Stacking Boost: DRAGON-STEEL WAR CHARIOT MODE!]

A surge of spiritual energy erupted!

The Boosted Gear Scale Mail began to transform!

The lightweight crimson armor thickened—

Becoming a full-body heavy exosuit!

Lucien's physical strength and defenses skyrocketed!

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!!]

The Gauntlet's voice roared!

Lucien's power kept rising—

The red aura and green jewels on his armor glowing intensely.

His body began to expand—

His armor reshaping itself—

Becoming something gigantic.

A few seconds later…

A massive figure loomed before the Sea Dragon Beast.

Two hundred meters tall.

A walking fortress of crimson steel.

[Boosted Gear: COLOSSAL MECH MODE!] [Welsh-Dragon-Balance-Breaker: Gundam Robot Form!]

From his arms, his chest, his waist—

Weapon compartments slid open.

"FIRE."

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

A storm of destruction erupted!

Energy Missiles! Plasma Cannons! Explosive Shells! Fire! Lightning! Pure Dragon Energy!

The sky cracked apart.

The earth split open.

It was a battlefield straight out of mythology!

"SCREEEEEEEEEEE!!"

The Sea Dragon Beast screeched,

Before attempting to counterattack—

Blasting out dark purple energy waves!

Yet—

The moment it realized it couldn't withstand the barrage,

It immediately curled up defensively!

"Tch. Just like a damn sea star!"

Lucien gritted his teeth.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions erupted all over its body.

Flames and lightning consumed its form.

And yet…

The damage was minimal.

The Sea Dragon Beast's wounds began to heal almost instantly.

[CLANK!]

A massive metallic noise rang out.

Lucien's gigantic mech—

Its armored plating shifted—

Something even deadlier was about to be unleashed.
[Weapon Integration: Loading—] [Blinding Light & Dark Abyss—The Dragon's Ultimate Sword—Loaded Successfully!]

In Lucien's gigantic mechanical hands,

A colossal blade over a hundred meters long materialized!

Since he himself had enlarged,

His weapons had scaled up accordingly!

[Secret Sword Technique!] [First Secret Sword—"Rhinoceros Strike!"]

This sword technique allowed Lucien to focus every ounce of his strength and momentum into a single point—

Maximizing his attack power to the absolute limit!

"SCREEEEEECH!"

A thunderous slicing sound tore through the battlefield!

The Dragon's Ultimate Sword slashed straight downward—

Splitting the Sea Dragon Beast cleanly in half!

However…

Before its two halves had even hit the ground,

Tentacles extended outward,

And in mere moments—

It had completely regenerated!

Lucien clicked his tongue.

"Tch. So it really is like that, huh?"

He had hoped that the Dragon's Ultimate Sword would hold up—

But without the proper countering attribute,

This monster—a fusion of Outer God and World's Will energies—

Was going to be a real pain to deal with.

Lucien's mind raced.

"Using Juggernaut Drive…?"

Ever since Ddraig evolved,

Activating Juggernaut Drive no longer drained his lifespan.

However—

It still consumed an insane amount of stamina and mental energy.

If Lucien was at Vali's level (Low-Tier Demon King),

He wouldn't hesitate.

But right now, using Juggernaut Drive would be far too costly.

That said…

If he had no other choice—

Then he'd just have to push through.

[Lucien! I've got a way to defeat this thing!]

Agumon's voice suddenly cut through his thoughts.

[If you can sever at least 20% of its body—] [And prevent it from regenerating for a short period—] [Then I can permanently erase that section of its Outer God essence!] [Once we do that enough times—] [We can completely remove the Outer God influence altogether!]

Lucien's eyes lit up.

"You can eliminate its Outer God essence?!"

That was excellent news.

But—

His Dragon's Ultimate Sword wasn't enough.

It had the power but lacked the attribute advantage needed to stop its regeneration.

If only he had a sword that could…

Wait.

There was a weapon here that could counter this thing.

It might not be a perfect counter,

But it was the best one available—

Saber's Holy Sword.

Just as Lucien thought of it—

A golden blur suddenly soared through the air toward him.

[Lucien! I already got you a weapon!]

Agumon's voice echoed through his mind.

Lucien caught the blade mid-air.

His lips curled into a smirk.

"Good job, Agumon."

[Weapon Integration: Loading—] [Excalibur—Loaded Successfully!]

The Dragon's Ultimate Sword began to shift.

Its entire structure transformed—

Taking on the golden radiance of Excalibur!

Lucien's "Weapon Integration" ability didn't just let him wield sacred weapons.

He could fuse them directly into his own arsenal!

Now, this gigantic Holy Sword wasn't just Excalibur—

It was an entirely new, enhanced version of the legendary blade!

Lucien raised his sword high,

His voice booming with divine authority.

[Upon this oath—] [I shall not allow any being beyond my blade's reach!] [This is the sword that severs and cuts all things upon the land!] [The Unrivaled Blade!]

A silver radiance enveloped the massive Holy Sword.

This was a Divine Authority—

"The Severing Hand of Silver!"

Pure. Unyielding. Absolute.

Steel in its most refined form—

A Divine Conceptual Blade capable of rending even the fabric of existence itself!

"If I had mastered this power completely—" "I could kill the Sea Dragon Beast in one strike."

Lucien narrowed his eyes.

This power—

If fully developed—

Could erase concepts themselves.

But for now—

It was still incomplete.

Regardless—

It was more than enough.

"HAAAAAHHH—!"

Lucien swung down.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEECH!"

The Holy Blade cleaved downward—

Splitting the Sea Dragon Beast in a single effortless stroke!

Even in its most defensive, curled-up form—

Even with all its regenerative capabilities—

It could not withstand the slash of a God's Authority-infused Holy Sword!

The beast howled in agony.

It instinctively tried to heal—

But this time—

Its wounds refused to close.

Lucien's Holy Blade had sealed its regeneration ability!

And within its exposed flesh—

The remnants of his Severing Authority continued to erode it!

Even Agumon was briefly stunned.

[Lucien… You actually severed its link to the World's Will?!] [A Divine Authority?! When the hell did you learn to use something like that?!]

But now wasn't the time for shock.

[No time to question it! If it's Lucien, then miracles are just a normal thing!]

Agumon's body began to expand rapidly.

[GIGANTIC MODE—METALGREYMON!]

A sacred flame ignited—

Condensing into a glowing sphere of pure destruction.

[ULTIMATE FLAME!] [STACKED WITH—] [GIGA STORM!]

A golden inferno shot forth,

Striking the severed chunk of the Sea Dragon Beast.

Holy Fire incinerated its flesh.

Giga Storm's winds ripped apart the corrupted Outer God essence.

[Lucien! That section is gone for good!]

Agumon shouted in triumph.

Lucien exhaled sharply.

He had been pushed back from the force of his own attack.

But now—

He watched as the Sea Dragon Beast struggled.

It had regenerated again.

But this time—

It had lost a part of itself forever.

"We can do this."

Lucien grinned.

"We just need to cut it down—""One piece at a time!"

"BOOOOOM!!"

Behind Lucien,

Twelve enormous Fallen Angel wings unfurled.

Since he was using the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar in Giant Mech Mode,

This new form was now a colossal entity—

Standing over 200 meters tall!

The Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar stepped forward—

Separating from Lucien's Giant Mech form!

The Avatar grasped the Holy Sword tightly,

While Lucien himself moved backward—

Beginning a massive power charge!

[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!!!]

A gigantic fireball, over 100 meters in diameter,

Materialized in midair—

Constantly absorbing Lucien's escalating energy!

Lucien glanced at Agumon.

If they coordinated better,

Their efficiency would skyrocket!

He had already observed—

Agumon was handling both the Sea Dragon Beast's destruction

AND the eradication of the Outer God's influence.

If Agumon could focus solely on purging the Outer God essence,

Then Lucien could handle obliterating the monster's body itself!

"Agumon! Focus only on eliminating the Outer God essence!" "I'll take care of destroying its physical body!"

[Understood, Lucien! Got it!]

Agumon's voice carried determination.

But internally—

She was utterly shaken.

When the hell did Lucien gain the power to summon a Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar?!

Even she wasn't confident she could defeat that thing!

With their strategy locked in—

Lucien poured everything into charging up Ultimate Flame,

While MetalGreymon focused on condensing Giga Storm!

Meanwhile—

The task of piercing through the Sea Dragon Beast's defenses—

Was left entirely to the Fallen Angel Avatar!

Lucien and the Sea Dragon Beast had both overcome the Demon King tier—

Simply by stacking raw energy.

But the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar?

It was different.

It naturally possessed Super Demon King-level power!

With massive strides,

The colossal Fallen Angel Avatar advanced—

Raising its Holy Sword high above its head!

And then—

"SLAAAAAASH!!!"

The blade cleaved downward—

Tearing through the Sea Dragon Beast's 'fake death' defense!
