"Enkidu (Chains of Heaven)!"
With a loud shout from Zuke, golden chains shot out from the rippling golden waves around him, fiercely coiling towards TY-PHON ahead.
TY-PHON didn't even bother to dodge, allowing the golden chains to slam into his massive body without leaving a single mark.
One of the Chains of Heaven managed to loop around TY-PHON's finger by sheer luck, but as TY-PHON charged towards Zuke, he effortlessly broke the chain without even trying to free himself.
Seeing this, Zuke's mouth twitched—he could feel that the Chains of Heaven had been amplified when binding TY-PHON, meaning TY-PHON indeed possessed "divinity," which the Chains of Heaven were supposed to restrain.
But TY-PHON was a planet-destroying weapon of the "gods," capable of annihilating planets with a single punch or blast. The Chains of Heaven, no matter how amplified, stood no chance of restraining him.
Goetia had altered human history, created singularities, and ultimately forged the Grand Order's final weapon, the Rhongomyniad, which had the power to pierce through planets. If the Chains of Heaven truly had such power, FGO wouldn't have needed to wait until the final chapter.
"Forget it, I only tried because I thought TY-PHON might have divinity. It's normal that it didn't work."
With the Chains of Heaven returning empty-handed, Zuke raised his hand and threw a punch, colliding head-on with TY-PHON's massive fist.
The contrast between the colossal mechanical giant and Zuke's tiny body was stark—yet the planet-shattering mechanical fist was forcefully halted by Zuke's punch!
Not only that, as Zuke exerted his full strength, visible cracks began to form on TY-PHON's sturdy metal fist, while Zuke's fist remained unscathed.
The shockwave from their collision spread out, distorting the very air.
TY-PHON's eyes glowed with an eerie red light as energy gathered behind him, forming into giant serpents that lunged at Zuke with ferocious bites!
Each of these energy serpents was as massive as a planetary ring, making Zuke's body seem like a speck of dust in comparison.
Yet, this speck of dust darted straight into one of the energy serpents and—tore it apart, scattering the energy in all directions.
The scattered energy was like a high-concentration energy cannon, some of it striking the already shattered remnants of planets, reducing them to dust.
As Zuke and TY-PHON clashed, AA-ZEUS had finished charging its attack. A massive purple energy cannon, mixed with lightning, roared towards Zuke and TY-PHON.
Clearly, AA-ZEUS intended to obliterate both Zuke and TY-PHON with this single blast.
"I saw this coming."
Zuke's eyes flickered as the shadow of "Black Bird Requiem" appeared behind him. On its forehead, a small face began to emerge.
This was the ability of "King Crimson," known as "Epitaph," which allowed Zuke to see several seconds into the future—a power that might seem trivial in normal circumstances but was invaluable in battle.
—Divine Destruction Thunderfire!
This was AA-ZEUS's ultimate attack, a concentrated energy cannon of thunder that obliterated everything in its path, including planetary fragments, as it hurtled towards Zuke and TY-PHON.
"Black Bird: The World!"
In the next moment, Zuke's eyes widened as "The World" activated, freezing time instantly—the thunderous energy cannon came to a halt, suspended in mid-air like a spear of condensed energy.
Zuke then reached out and, with his tiny body, lifted the massive energy spear!
The radiant thunder spear, once in Zuke's hands, turned pitch black, transforming into a dark thunder energy.
This was the power of Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, "Knight of Owner," which allowed Zuke to turn anything he touched into his own Noble Phantasm.
In Lancelot's hands, this ability was limited, but in Zuke's grasp, even a thunder spear capable of destroying planets became his weapon.
"Still, this high-energy concentration is no joke. Just touching it burned my hands."
Of course, being a concentrated energy construct, Zuke's hands were severely burned when he grabbed the "Divine Destruction Thunderfire."
But thanks to his immortality, his hands quickly healed—and with "Knight of Owner" activated, the thunder spear became his possession, no longer harming him.
"I'll return this thunder spear to you!"
After gaining control of the thunder spear, Zuke hurled it back at AA-ZEUS with full force!
"Now, time resumes."
Everything that happened during the time stop was invisible to everyone except Zuke.
So when time resumed, all anyone saw was AA-ZEUS's thunder energy cannon turning black in an instant and reversing direction, firing straight back at AA-ZEUS!
Boom!
AA-ZEUS clearly hadn't expected this. Its arm was instantly obliterated by its own "Divine Destruction Thunderfire"—and that was only because it had dodged to the side at the last moment. Otherwise, it would have been its chest, not its arm, that was pierced.
With an entire arm destroyed, the light in AA-ZEUS's eyes seemed to dim.
...
"This is... the first time AA-ZEUS has sustained such severe damage."
At the headquarters of the Security Force Police, the Justiciar stared at the screen, his voice filled with awe.
Since the battles between AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON had been observed, the two mechanical giants had destroyed countless planets, yet they had rarely suffered significant damage.
At most, cracks would appear on their bodies, but they would quickly repair themselves.
So the Security Force Police had never hoped that the two machines would stop fighting due to severe damage—they had even doubted whether the machines could be injured at all.
But today, after Zuke joined the battle, he had inflicted the most severe damage ever observed on AA-ZEUS, completely obliterating one of its arms!
Despite being flesh and blood, Zuke could survive in the vacuum of space and even fight these planet-destroying mechanical giants...
The Justiciar trembled—not from fear, but from excitement.
If Zuke's terrifying combat power could be harnessed by the Security Force Police, what problem couldn't be solved?
Behind him, Sayomaru and Lyna were equally stunned.
Lyna couldn't help but recall how she had been clinging to Zuke earlier—how could that guy's body be capable of such feats? She hadn't sensed it at all.
