Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Unwilling Fall
"Hmm?! This is bad!" As soon as they returned to Earth, Diana was the first to react. She had vaguely sensed Robert's skyrocketing aura and his actions earlier, but she hadn't intervened. Firstly, because Robert's displayed strength had surpassed hers, and secondly, she still had to deal with the formidable Gabriel.
Upon returning to Earth, Diana instantly realized that if she continued fighting Gabriel here, it wouldn't be long before the entire Earth would cease to exist!
The spatial barrier of Earth was certainly stronger than the one Lucifer had created, much stronger in fact, but the issue was that Earth itself wasn't nearly as sturdy. Especially with so many people on it, if Diana continued fighting Gabriel here with the same intensity, Earth wouldn't hold out for long...
And this was precisely Lucifer's plan. Before Mamon died, Lucifer had intended to use the space he created to protect Earth, preventing it from being destroyed by the aftermath of Robert and Mamon's battle.
But now, things were different. After returning to Earth, Lucifer didn't stop using his power. Enraged, he was now prepared to destroy Earth as a funeral offering for Mamon!
After all, with Mamon dead, there was no one in the Hell Dimension to help Lucifer guard his authority. Lucifer couldn't continue vacationing on Earth. Since he couldn't vacation here, why keep Earth? Better to destroy it!
"Boom!" A heavy impact resounded around them. Diana was the first to act, using her divine shield to send Gabriel flying. She didn't intend to continue fighting Gabriel on Earth but instead aimed to push her into space.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Almost simultaneously, Clark and Robert acted. They appeared in front of Lucifer, whose aura was causing everything around to tremble. Both planned to send Lucifer flying first, as Earth couldn't withstand his aura for much longer.
However, their punches didn't cause Lucifer much trouble. Although Lucifer was knocked a short distance toward the sky, he was far from space. At this moment, Lucifer's aura became even more terrifying, exerting pressure even on the current Robert and Clark!
"Hehe, if I can't have peace, neither will you!" Lucifer sneered at the anxious Clark and Robert, who had instantly disappeared to attack him. He began to gather energy in his hands.
"Buzz!" At that moment, Earth seemed to tremble slightly. It wasn't because of Lucifer's gathered energy but rather a force acting upon him.
"Hmm?! Damn it! I gave you a Hell Lord before, and you promised not to restrict me. Now you dare to expel me?!" Lucifer's expression changed as this force appeared, and he shouted angrily at his surroundings.
"Earth's dimensional consciousness?" Clark and Robert stopped, sensing a repelling force ahead. If they recklessly charged forward, it seemed they too would be expelled by this force!
At this moment, Clark and Robert exchanged a glance, understanding each other instantly. Clark smiled and said, "You're about to destroy Earth, and you expect it not to expel you? How ridiculous..."
Hearing Clark's words, a look of unwillingness flashed in Lucifer's eyes. He admitted Clark had a point, but having invested so much on Earth, he was unwilling to be forcibly expelled now.
Thus, Lucifer continued to gather his power, trying to resist Earth's dimensional rules. But despite his strength, he couldn't contend with an entire dimension's power, especially Earth's unique dimension, where he was not the main player...
Slowly, Lucifer's form began to fade. Robert could even faintly sense the Hell Dimension's aura, indicating Lucifer was about to be expelled back there.
"Buzz!" However, just as Lucifer's form was about to vanish completely, a light remained on Earth before quickly disappearing.
"What was that?" Clark and Robert's eyes narrowed. The light disappeared too fast for even Robert to track, as if it had merged into Earth's space, much like the Ancient One before.
"Expel me? Hmph! Then don't think you'll have it easy! Aren't you greedy? Don't you want energy and rules? Let's see if you can handle this rule's power!" Meanwhile, in the Hell Dimension, Lucifer looked toward Earth's dimension and sneered.
"When you fall into chaos, killing those tragic souls, they'll be worth much more than ordinary ones. Not to mention the possible birth of survivor souls. I'll recoup my losses then!"
As Lucifer's voice fell, he released his aura, declaring his return to the Hell Dimension's many powerhouses. Slowly, he turned his gaze to his territory, a cold gleam in his eyes, and disappeared.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, terrifying combat sounds erupted within a section of the Hell Dimension, drawing the attention of many powerhouses. As the battle continued, Lucifer's territory began expanding, even devouring an entire neighboring territory!
Clearly, Lucifer hadn't yet reaped the rewards of his plan to retaliate against Earth. Instead, he chose to vent his anger on the surrounding Hell Lords who had encroached on his territory.
After all, if these guys hadn't bullied Mamon while Lucifer was away, driving him to Earth, none of this would have happened. Mamon wouldn't have died on Earth, and Lucifer could have continued vacationing instead of being stuck in the loathed Hell Dimension!
Someone had to bear the consequences, and it was clear the surrounding Hell Lords were Lucifer's punching bags. The weakest among them was already blown apart by Lucifer, his power and consciousness returning to the Hell Dimension's source...
As Lucifer displayed his might, declaring his return, on Earth, Robert and Clark frowned, trying to trace the light's path but finding no results.
"It seems Earth's dimensional consciousness is more powerful than I thought. If we ever clash, could it expel us too?" After a while, Clark and Robert regrouped, shaking their heads helplessly. Clark transmitted to Robert.
"I don't think so. If destroying Earth meant being expelled, it would have already communicated with us to prevent using too much power..." Robert's eyes flickered as he replied.
"I think that guy was expelled because he wasn't a being of Earth's dimension. He exceeded Earth's rule limits, especially as his final outburst seemed to reach another level!"
"Let's hope so!" Clark sighed. He and Robert initially thought that if Earth went rogue, they'd fight to the end. But now, seeing Earth's powerful expulsion ability, Clark felt a weight on his heart.
After all, neither Clark nor Robert could resist that kind of expulsion...
"I'll help Diana! You handle things with the Avengers!" With a heavy heart, Clark watched Robert glance toward space and disappear, heading into the void.
"Wait! You can survive in space now?" Clark's eyes widened in surprise, not forgetting Robert's previous limitations.
"Long-term survival, no. Short-term battle, yes. This fight will be quick!" Robert's voice, filled with confidence, echoed as he vanished.
In the distant space, two light points clashed continuously—Diana and Gabriel. Diana had used her divine shield to force Gabriel into space, but Gabriel seemed uninterested in fighting Diana now.
It wasn't just because Diana's strength exceeded Gabriel's expectations, preventing her from gaining the upper hand. More importantly, what had happened in the previous space shocked Gabriel deeply.
When that space was formed, Gabriel had suspicions. When Lucifer appeared, she was even more alarmed, as her power was far inferior to Lucifer's.
But Lucifer wasn't the most shocking figure to Gabriel. The one who stunned her the most was Robert, who had initially been no match for Mamon but later exploded with power capable of crushing both her and Mamon!
Upon realizing Mamon's death, Gabriel felt her mission had failed. Even if Lucifer could suppress Clark and Robert, Gabriel wasn't allied with Lucifer. She had no allies now, and any one of Robert, Clark, or Lucifer could easily deal with her!
After all, Robert, Clark, and Lucifer were not Martian Manhunter. When Lucifer's space was active, Martian Manhunter had followed Kara's suggestion to assist Diana. His powerful psychic abilities distracted Gabriel slightly, giving Diana a slight edge, but not enough to defeat Gabriel. However, the trio of Robert, Clark, and Lucifer was different...
"Mm?" While fighting, Gabriel was also thinking of a way to escape. Suddenly, she saw a figure with her swinging fist—Robert, whom she had once despised but now greatly feared!
"Snap!"
In the next moment, Gabriel's fist was tightly grabbed. It wasn't anyone else but Robert, who had flown there. In the space environment, Robert felt quite uncomfortable and unaccustomed, so he planned to end the battle quickly, as he had said earlier...
"Buzz!" With Gabriel's fist in his grip, Robert's other hand gathered a terrifying Kamehameha wave, aimed at Gabriel's head.
Seeing the wave, Gabriel's pupils shrank, and a life-threatening crisis surged within her. She knew if hit by this wave, she would be in grave danger!
"Buzz!" Therefore, Gabriel exploded with holy light, trying to break free from Robert's grip. But Robert held tightly, unmoved by Gabriel's burst of power, unable to escape his grasp.
As Gabriel had predicted, her strength was no match for Robert's current state!
"Rip!"
But Gabriel was decisive. Realizing she couldn't escape Robert's grasp, she instantly tore off her arm and retreated quickly, trying to distance herself from Robert. This all happened in an instant...
However, while Gabriel was quick, the Kamehameha wave's speed was faster. As Gabriel rejoiced at her escape, the wave locked onto her and pursued.
"No!" Facing the imminent wave, Gabriel felt deeply unwilling. She had come to Earth to solve Heaven's problem, even cooperating with Hell's demons, specifically Lucifer's son, whom she despised.
Yet, despite all this, Gabriel hadn't achieved her goal. On Earth, she faced continuous battles without any
chance to seek the truth she desired!
So, as she faced death, Gabriel's unwillingness surged, changing the color of her wings behind her...
