Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Once Ractopictan changed his form it was like fighting an entirely different opponent. The rhythm of Ractopictan's attacks was completely different from before and it took some time for Erste to get used to it, which almost got him into trouble.

This was the first time since defeating the New God that he first fought that Erste felt his life was in danger. Even when he fought the powerful Old God Agares he had not felt such danger. This feeling of being in a life-and-death situation had made Erste both afraid and excited at the same time.

Despite the opponent being of similar size to himself, Erste found it surprisingly difficult to fight more so than normal. He had been so used to fighting opponents that were the size of planets and most of his new techniques were meant for such opponents, which is why it took him some time to get back into proper fighting form.

After a while, Erste's attacks were becoming sharper as he started having fewer excess movements.

'Now this is getting even more fun.'

...

While Erste and Ractopictan's battle was getting even more intense a third party was looking at them from beyond their reality. This was of course the being that created almost everything directly or indirectly the ORIGIN, also known to the Ancient Ones as the Almighty.

The ORIGIN had been observing Erste ever since he broke through the confines of destiny. The ORIGIN who has seen what has been and what will be throughout infinity was having the time of its life watching Erste. As long as you come into contact with Erste their fates change and for a few moments, they would be able to escape the ORIGIN's sight which pleased the ORIGIN greatly.

The ORIGIN was like a child watching his favorite story unfold before his very eyes.

This was the charm of the unknown, as a being that had no equal this was the only source of entertainment he had.

What the ORIGIN was most curious about now was of course Erste. Even now the ORIGIN could not figure out how Erste was able to break out from the confines of destiny. It was possible to break out of the ORIGIN's clairvoyance if the other party was as strong or stronger than the ORIGIN himself, but Erste was nowhere near that level of power.

Despite Erste growing quickly Erste's current raw power was only slightly above some Ancient Ones. Still, the ORIGIN believed that it was just a matter of time before he would surpass all and be at the same level as the mother of all dragons.

Of course, even if he did reach that level that was nowhere near enough to be as powerful as the ORIGIN. So what other means could Erste have to break out of the confines of destiny was one of the things that filled the ORIGIN's thoughts. Even though the ORIGIN could easily figure out such a thing if he used his abilities, doing it like a normal human was also quite the experience.

So now the ORIGIN continued to observe Erste learning more every second he looked. The process of learning was also a little joy the ORIGIN had.

The ORIGIN knew that the minor authorities and powers Erste gained from the new and old Gods were actually affecting his growth. If he did not have those authorities he would have grown stronger faster and his purity and strength would be in another dimension.

'I wonder if he would be able to reach my state one day. Now that would be a sight to behold. Hmm, maybe I could give him a little push.' The ORIGIN had a sudden thought and acted upon it.

...

Unaware that they were being watched Erste and Ractopictan's fight had reached a climax. Despite Erste growing rapidly while he was fighting, Ractopictan was far above him in every aspect and, even with the power borrowed from the sea of chaos was not able to close that gap. There were also the abilities that Ractopictan possessed which made it hard to use anything mana related.

Also, it was quite troublesome that the other party had needed only to touch him long enough to win. Not to mention that Erste needed to suppress Ractopictan in this position so that his allies could flee with the heart of the mother of all dragons.

Yet despite his precarious situation the smile on Erste's face didn't disappear instead, it looked even fiercer than before. While he was defending himself Erste noticed that the power from the void that he used to defeat his first Old God was flowing into his body, not only was the power of the void flowing now, but even information on the basics of how to control it flooded his mind.

It was weird obviously somebody was interfering with his fight which slightly irritated Erste, but he was also a little interested in this new knowledge he acquired. The power from the void was several tiers higher than the power he borrowed from the sea of chaos, not only can it destroy it can also create.

Erste tried it out and created a similar scythe to Ractopictan's but his scythe didn't have the same abilities it just looked very similar, but even though it didn't have any abilities it was imbued with the power from the void.

When Ractopictan saw how Erste conjured up his scythe he could not believe it, he sensed the power within that scythe and it was a very familiar power. It was the power that had created him and his siblings.

"How did you obtain power?! No, how are you still alive after gaining that power?!" Ractopictan backed away from Erste and was looking around trying to find something or someone.

"Do you know of this power? Based on your reaction I'm guessing that this is a very special power."

"It doesn't matter how you got that power, I will prove to him, I will prove to Father that I am worthy of his love!" Ractopictan didn't hear what Erste said and started rambling to himself and then he shouted in the air. Ractopictan once again changed forms and his body became fog-like while the darkness covered him.

Unlike the previous forms this form didn't look as dangerous as the previous forms, but Erste sensed that this should be Ractopictan's true form.
