Morpheus had to admit that Rizevim, the son of Satan, had some real skill.
He looked up, and above Rizevim's head, massive aggregates of magical power had formed, each probably dozens of meters in size.
And there were six of them! If those things hit the surface of Silent Hill—not just Rias, the entire town would be obliterated!
Even the sealed Sirzechs and Serafall would die.
The only ones who would survive were Morpheus and the Infinite Dragon God, Ophis.
Under Rizevim's control, the six powerful magical spheres began to slowly circle.
"—Disappear—aaaaaaaaaah!"
Rizevim unleashed his attack!
Radiating an immensely heavy pressure, the enormous magical spheres descended!
The speed of the magical spheres' fall wasn't fast.
It was clear that even for Rizevim, controlling an attack of this magnitude wasn't easy.
However, faced with an assault capable of erasing an entire region, Morpheus remained unhurried, slowly extending one hand.
In an instant, his five fingers each fired a beam of intense, vast, and extraordinarily thick power of light!
The five blasts pierced through the six powerful magical spheres that Rizevim had launched, and then—
Boom!!!
A massive explosion erupted across the entire airspace of Silent Hill, enough to blanket the whole sky!
The roar, the blast, the shockwave—everything that could come did.
Morpheus's blasts and Rizevim's magical power canceled each other out in midair! The resulting impact spread outward, nearly shattering every window in Silent Hill's buildings—
The sky turned into a pattern of intermingled white and pitch black.
After the two overwhelmingly powerful aggregates of force collided and annihilated each other, through the explosion's smoke and dust, a single figure became visible.
—It was Rizevim.
But at this moment, Rizevim looked utterly battered.
Perhaps affected by the aftermath of the blasts, more than half of his wings were broken, and blood sprayed from his entire body.
He coughed, spitting blood from his mouth as well. It seemed even staying airborne was a struggle for him.
In contrast, Morpheus was completely unscathed.
Seeing that Morpheus hadn't taken any damage, Rizevim's expression filled with rage and anxiety.
It was obvious he feared Morpheus.
Because even his strongest attack had been casually dismantled by Morpheus, making Rizevim deeply realize he was no match for the mysterious figure before him.
He didn't know what kind of demon this Extra-Dimensional Demon was, but it was absolutely terrifying, even horrifying.
In that moment, Rizevim entertained the thought of retreat.
But as soon as the idea surfaced, he dismissed it.
Because he hadn't lost yet—he still had one trump card. If that card played out, he could definitely turn the tables.
With that in mind, a magic circle appeared behind Rizevim.
In a whoosh, he vanished from the sky.
Seeing this, Morpheus disappeared as well.
The two reappeared in Silent Hill's church almost simultaneously.
Rizevim dashed to the Infinite Dragon God Ophis, bowing his head as he said, "Ophis, hurry and lend me your power. If I die, you'll never achieve your goal."
Yes, Rizevim's trump card was the Infinite Dragon God right in front of him.
Inside the church, Rias, standing off to the side, heard the name Ophis and her legs went weak with fear.
The Infinite Dragon God Ophis.
Though she had never met this being, she had heard the name—one of the strongest Dragon Gods, surpassing gods and devils alike. She never imagined that behind Rizevim stood such a powerful monster.
If this Dragon God made a move, did they even have a chance of winning?
The Infinite Dragon God Ophis looked up at Rizevim but did not lend him her power.
Though in the original story, this Infinite Dragon God was also known as the Infinite Moe God—a naive, innocent personality, unaware of the world, purer and sweeter than anyone.
But she understood one thing.
In the battle just now, Rizevim had lost to Morpheus.
Could a loser still help her defeat Great Red and return her to her homeland?
The Infinite Dragon God Ophis tilted her head and looked at Morpheus. "Hey, do you need my power?"
Hearing this, Rizevim immediately lost his composure.
He knew the Infinite Dragon God was wavering at this moment. If Morpheus agreed, she might very well abandon him and choose the stronger Morpheus instead.
In an instant, Rizevim felt an unprecedented fury.
But he didn't dare vent that anger, because he was no match for either the Infinite Dragon God or Morpheus.
He could only rage helplessly in his heart.
"I don't need your power."
Morpheus shook his head, outright refusing the Infinite Dragon God Ophis.
This filled Rizevim's heart with wild joy. What an arrogant fool—you have no idea how terrifying an Infinite Dragon God truly is.
But in the next second, he heard Morpheus say, "However, my home is still quite big—larger than your homeland, if anything. Want to come live at my place? I guarantee no one will disturb you."
"You can keep enjoying your life as you please."
Rizevim was stunned. This guy Morpheus actually knew Ophis's desires.
How was that possible?
He glanced at Ophis and saw she seemed tempted. He immediately said, "Lady Ophis, he's deceiving you—don't fall for it."
However, Ophis ignored Rizevim. She was a Dragon God, after all—if she couldn't sense a person's goodwill or malice, she wouldn't deserve the title.
"Really?"
"Of course."
After Morpheus's light dimension had devoured the Gourmet World, it had expanded several times over. Even compared to the Dimensional Gap, it wasn't far off—plenty of space for Ophis to spread her wings and fly.
Seeing this, Rizevim knew the tide had turned. A magic circle appeared beneath his feet once more.
This time, he truly intended to flee.
But Morpheus wouldn't let Rizevim escape so easily. Having finally caught the mastermind behind the Umbrella Corporation, how could he let him slip away?
So, a magic circle unfolded beneath Morpheus's feet as well, instantly disrupting Rizevim's teleportation magic.
Rizevim's escape failed.
The magic circle under his feet collapsed in an instant.
"You bastard..."
In that moment, Rizevim was both terrified and furious.
Morpheus smiled faintly, stepping forward with a punch. His fist, brimming with the power of light, smashed brutally into Rizevim's nose bridge, shattering his prominent nose.
The entire fist sank into Rizevim's face.
Like a cannonball, Rizevim crashed through the crosses imprisoning Sirzechs and Serafall, then slammed into the wall, falling into a deep coma.
