Chapter 1008 Locked neck and neck
(Max's POV)
Max watched helplessly as the universal queen shielded his family from the perfect warrior's assault, while his wives were compelled to flee.
The attack unfolded right at his home, under his very nose, yet the perfect warrior's time freeze spell left him powerless to intervene.
"FUCK…FUCK…FUCK!" Max screamed, after being overwhelmed with frustration as he questioned the point of being the Supreme Lord of the universe if he couldn't even defend his home from invaders?
He realised that he had become too conceited, too self- assured and overly confident in his own abilities which was why he was getting a harsh reality check today.
Over the past few days he had pondered whether ascending to the celestial realm was necessary given his immense strength? Or was enjoying life here a better option, however, his doubts were abruptly silenced today as the fragile equilibrium he maintained in suppressing the influence of the seed of destruction began to shatter.
' This mere time spell….. We can destroy it! We can destroy your opponent! If you use my power, you can save them' The seed of destruction whispered in his mind as in the desperate situation that Max was in, he felt like those words were the solution to all his problems.
On one hand, he already knew that using a seed's powers only increased their corruption and influence. Yet, in this desperate moment, he cared little for it as he urged the seed to lend him its power.
Once Max began to pull the destructive energy from the seed of destruction planted in his body, purple aura began to surge out of his body and began to break the space-time continuity around him.
' More…. You need more power, dive in deeper, don't resist' The seed urged as Max pulled even more of its power until the time bindings that held him in place shattered and he was free to move once again.
Once free, he immediately zoomed towards the Rajput Capital and the perfect warrior, however, while Max's current anger was concentrated on a single opponent, the seed of destruction had already taken its toll on his body.
His red eyes that were usually surrounded by a white sclera had now turned into red eyes surrounded by a purple sclera.
His mental state had became such that he now craved for the destruction of his opponent, but while he wished for the destruction of his opponent, his thirst for destruction was not going to be quenched after just killing him and was going to grow towards becoming an insatiable hunger.

( Meanwhile Hazriel )
Hazriel watched in dismay as one after the other the queen's clones were being defeated by the perfect warrior and what started off as a 10 vs one battle, was now converted to a 7 versus one battle as the queen's avatars that were defeated were no longer getting back up.
The reduction in their overall number also meant that the rest were falling faster and faster, as while 10 of them were barely able to tie the perfect warrior down, 7 were just not enough.
Hazriel estimated based on how fast the situation was deteriorating that the universal queen would be able to hold on for 40 seconds more at best, but definitely no more.
" Kartikeya, Jake, you boys are no match for this opponent, your fourth aunt is atleast a monarch.
You guys can still make it to safety if you run away now.
So please…. Just go!" Hazriel urged as she desperately hoped that at least the boys got to safety, however, stubborn as they were Jake and Kartikeya refused.
" How can we let fourth aunt fight alone? Our father's raised us better than that" Kartikeya said as he smiled brightly at Hazriel as Hazriel could not help but feel soft at this display of fool-
hardiness by the kid.
Both of them were ants, yet both of them were cute ants who could be relied upon in tough times.
" Down to the last two avatars, anytime now boys" Hazriel said as she watched how the queen was down to her last two avatars and was going to be defeated any moment now.
However, before the perfect warrior could defeat the last two avatars of the queen, he tilted to look towards the sky as suddenly, with a speed that far surpassed the speed of sound, an object came down from space and collided with his body.
*BADABOOM*
A shockwave so powerful that the queen's both avatars, Hazriel, Kartikeya and Jake, all of them were swept away like they were kites in a tornado.
The impact was similar to when Rudra came crashing down on the Tri-state tournament and broke apart the tier10 barrier, however, thankfully, this time around there were no mortals around that were critically injured by the impact shockwave, as although blown away, Kartikeya, Jake and Hazriel were all perfectly fine.
What was not fine, however, was the floating marvel called the Rajput Capital as Max punched a hole right through its indestructible base and came out the other side holding the perfect warrior by his neck.
"Don't you dare mess with my family" Max said as he went into overhaul and began to extract 100% of the seed of destructions power and pumping it straight into the perfect warrior's body which rapidly lost HP right before Max's eyes.
[ Constant Regeneration ]
[ Constant Regeneration ]
It was the perfect warrior who tried to use constant regeneration first to replenish his lost HP and it was Max who tried to use it next as while the perfect warrior lost more HP than he did, by trying to funnel the destructive energy of the seed, he too lost a lot of HP in the process, however both of them failed miserably.
The destructive energy from the seed was so strong that the moment either of them tried to mobilize mana or divine essence and give it a shape in the form of a spell, it was instantly neutralised and decomposed as conjuring a spell became impossible.
Deadlocked, the fight now became a contest to see which of them fell to the power of the seed of destruction first as being locked neck and neck, both had absolutely no maneuverability left.
The perfect warrior was losing more HP/ second but he also had a larger HP pool and while Max was losing HP at a comparitively slower pace, he had a smaller pool.
