Because of Arishem's roar, all the clouds in the sky were blown away.
That allowed Tony and the others to see Arishem's massive face, which was very close to Earth!
If Tony saw correctly, that face looked very similar to the Celestial lying motionless next to them!
"WTF! Did Alaric bring another Celestial!? I haven't even finished studying one, and now a second one shows up!?"
Tony shouted!
"I'm asking… is there a chance this Celestial came for revenge?"
When Banner heard Tony's words, he felt like smacking him hard! To crack his head open and see what's inside!
Damn it, the entire environment has changed, and you're still not worried!?
"What!? Revenge!? Can Alaric even handle that!?"
When he heard what Banner said, Tony actually started seriously thinking about how he could help Alaric.
But the problem was that Tony's armor still wasn't upgraded to the level where it could operate in space.
In other words, unless the fight moved to Earth, Tony couldn't help at all.
"I can handle it, don't worry."
Alaric's voice echoed in everyone's ears. At the same time, Tony and the others noticed that the furious storm had stopped and the whole world had returned to its previous state.
Of course, Alaric had noticed movement from Tony and the others and calmed the storm.
"Are you sure you don't need our help?" Tony asked.
"Just stay calm."
"Alright, but Alaric, one corpse is more than enough for research, we really don't have time for another one!"
Tony shouted toward the sky.
"I wasn't planning to give it to you anyway."
Alaric was speechless.
Tony was still the same old Tony, only he could say something like that.
Even Alaric himself wasn't sure if he could kill Arishem.
"We're too close to Earth here. Let's move a little farther."
As Alaric spoke, he threw himself in front of Arishem and punched him, pushing his massive body backward.
"Just because you think… what!?"
Arishem initially wanted to say, just because you want to fight me, but he felt a huge force in his chest, even far greater than his own!
Before he finished the sentence, the scene around him started pulling back!
Arishem was shocked to realize that a single man had pushed him back in space!?
How was that possible!?
He's a human!
How could he have power comparable to a Celestial!?
Arishem was so shocked he forgot to fight back.
Only when he came to his senses did he realize he had stopped.
Moreover, they were now far from Earth, near the edge of this small universe.
"You…" Arishem stared at Alaric in disbelief.
"I told you earlier you didn't understand how serious this is, so I decided to explain it to you personally."
Alaric spoke while activating the magic [Saint Form], and his body began to gradually grow.
Arishem just stared silently as Alaric, from a tiny man, quickly transformed into a giant, almost the same height as him!
"You're not human!!"
Arishem roared.
Humans don't become like this!
Is it possible that this Alaric is some kind of giant?
Otherwise, how does he have this much power, how did he become this strong!?
Arishem had a feeling he hit the truth!
That this giant figure before him was actually Alaric's true divine form.
"I am human."
Even though he had already ascended to a divine level.
"What are you planning to do?" Arishem suddenly felt uneasy.
When Alaric looks like this, he clearly doesn't seem like someone who came to negotiate.
"To fight! Only through battle can you understand whether what I say is true or false! Only through battle can you feel pain, fear, and get to know me again!!"
Alaric said that and punched Arishem's massive head!
Bam!
Just as Arishem opened his mouth, he received a heavy blow to the head, which flipped his body backward.
Arishem: "!!!"
Honestly, when he saw Alaric transform into a giant, Arishem thought he'd like to talk.
After all, such a massive body was completely equal to any Celestial in their group!
But it seemed he spoke too late, because the next moment, he took a brutal hit!
And that wasn't all!
Bam bam bam!!
Relentless punches rained down on Arishem's body without pause, forcing him to constantly retreat.
Ever since he first used "saint form" in the dark dimension and became as large as Dormammu, Alaric fell in love with the feeling!
He'd say that when his body becomes gigantic, the fight becomes much more fun!
That powerful feeling of omnipotence, like he could blow up a planet with one punch, made Alaric completely addicted!!
Unconsciously, he began to increase his strength more and more.
As for Arishem, he had no idea Alaric was having fun, because he was being pummeled so hard he couldn't even fight back!!
If it weren't for that layer of armor on him, Arishem felt he would already be seriously injured!!
Then, when he finally recovered, he burst out with powerful cosmic energy and formed a shield to block Alaric's attacks.
At the same time, Arishem finally counterattacked!
Blessed with cosmic energy, he swung his fist, determined to wash away the shame!
Bam!
Then that serious punch of his was easily stopped by Alaric's raised left hand.
"Alright, now it's getting interesting."
Alaric smiled.
Arishem: "???"
"Wait a minute…"
Bam!
The light of Supreme Light wrapped around Alaric's fist, shined brightly, and struck Arishem's shield hard.
"Huh… barely made it!" Arishem breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shield was still intact.
He said this was the first time he'd fought like this!!
It gave him the feeling of fighting another Celestial!
Even though Celestials never directly fight each other.
But because of Alaric's current body, Arishem had that illusion.
And for the first time, he felt what it was like to be oppressed, beaten, and nearly pushed to the edge of death!
"Yeah, cosmic energy, huh? Luckily, I've got that too."
Before Arishem could catch his breath, Alaric spoke again.
And in that moment, his glowing fist struck again, this time, the shield couldn't hold.
Arishem watched in horror as the shield cracked under Alaric's punch, then completely shattered!
"Come on, let's keep going!"
Bam!
Another beating began.
"Wait! Don't hit my face!!"
"Stop! My armor is going to break!!"
"Stop, I believe you!!"
"I surrender!!"
"Please… I'll never come to Earth again!!"
"Seriously, trust me!!"
From initial rage, to trying to negotiate, to begging, and finally full surrender…
Arishem felt like he had experienced an entire eternity.
