BOOM!
Following Peter's thunderous roar, raging flames abruptly erupted across his entire body in the next split second. These brilliant flames practically ignited his frame entirely, even turning his strands of hair into pure, golden fire.
Simultaneously, two golden ribbons draped down from both of Peter's hands.
Beholding the golden ribbons trailing from his palms, the evil Peter gave his hands a sharp flick, causing the golden silk to instantaneously elongate. Like the mythical Hun Tian Ling, they firmly bound the descending giant palm of the nearby Dweller-in-Darkness.
Witnessing this scenario, the Dweller-in-Darkness couldn't help but reveal a look of absolute consternation. It discovered that its own terrifying, brute strength was actually entirely incapable of overcoming this tiny, single strand of ribbon.
Right at this moment, the evil Peter on the ground bared a smile heavily saturated with a villainous aura. Immediately following, his body snapped forward like a tightly coiled bow string being abruptly released. His entire being plunged toward the Dweller-in-Darkness's bound palm like a golden comet.
CHIII~!
Accompanied by the churning of a massive sheet of black mist, and right under the incredulous gazes of the Ta Lo villagers, the Huowan-mode Peter actually... smashed clean through the Dweller-in-Darkness's palm!
"I'm not done yet!"
The evil Peter unleashed a thrilled, booming roar. Immediately after, his entire form began to move at high speeds around the Dweller-in-Darkness's colossal frame.
No, it wasn't just a simple matter of moving; during the process of his high-speed movement, he was simultaneously throwing his fists like a pneumatic pile driver.
His fists pounded into the monster's massive torso one after another, each punch causing a visible, massive indentation across its frame.
In just the blink of an eye, Peter had thrown thousands upon thousands of punches. Within this sky-covering torrent of fist shadows, the Dweller-in-Darkness's regeneration speed couldn't even keep up with the frequency of Peter's strikes. Its colossal torso was continuously compressed throughout this brutal process.
From its original fifty-meter height, it was compressed all the way down until its body length was left at less than ten meters.
The exact instant they witnessed this scene, every single one of the Ta Lo villagers opened their mouths wide into perfect 'O' shapes.
Even Ying Nan, the strongest guardian of Ta Lo, was no exception. When she previously heard Daisy claim that Peter was the guardian of the entire planet, she still felt the young girl was merely bragging. But now, she had no choice but to believe it.
After all, excluding a guardian of the planet, who else could treat the legendary, undying Dweller-in-Darkness like a spinning top, whipping it so ruthlessly that it had absolutely no power to fight back?
"Still not done!" The evil Peter, entirely burning with golden fire, bellowed once more.
Concurrently, the muscles across both his arms bulged dramatically. Gripping the elongated ribbons extended from his wrists, he actually spun the Dweller-in-Darkness around at high velocity.
After spinning it over a dozen times in succession, the evil Peter gave a heavy heave, flinging the Dweller-in-Darkness straight into the stone mountain.
At the exact same time, he yanked the Huowan ribbons in his hands once more, using Moonwalk to close the distance to the Dweller-in-Darkness while continuously storing energy in the process. The sheer terror of his power even caused visible rings of shockwaves to burst through the air.
Finally, Peter closed in on the Dweller-in-Darkness, and his knee—raging with golden flames—smashed brutally right into the monster's abdomen.
"BLEGhh~!"
This single strike practically pierced completely through the Dweller-in-Darkness's torso. Hit by this impact, the monster's eyes bulged wildly, and it spat out a massive glob of pitch-black matter resembling a date pit from its mouth with a violent retch.
"That is..." The Great Protector, who had been observing the fight the entire time, couldn't resist trembling with excitement: "That is the Dweller-in-Darkness's core! The collective manifestation of this world's endless negative emotions! If he can destroy it..."
Before it could even finish its sentence, the righteous Peter smiled gently and spoke:
"Exactly, that is precisely our objective!"
While speaking, the righteous Peter raised both his arms high, concurrently turning back to look at everyone, including Daisy:
"Now, please raise your hands! Lend me your strength!"
Daisy was the first to react, instantly hoisting her hands high into the air. The moment she raised her hands, a tiny blue sphere of light drifted out from her body, rapidly surging into Peter's hands.
Beholding this scene, Ying Nan's eyes widened subconsciously, and she subsequently raised her hands tentatively. Following her was Guang Bo... and then the rest of Ta Lo village.
Ten people, twenty people... over a hundred!
When more than two hundred people across the entire village raised their hands simultaneously, countless blue motes of light rapidly flooded into the righteous Peter's palms.
A white sphere of light the size of a fist, fused with the Great Protector's dragon power, materialized within Peter's palm. It frantically devoured the primordial Genki surging in from all directions, its volume swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye—expanding to the size of a basketball, a millstone, a car...
Meanwhile, the evil Peter was firmly pinning down the Dweller-in-Darkness, denying it any opportunity to reclaim its core back into its body.
At this moment, the Dweller-in-Darkness had already sensed an intense, looming crisis of absolute death. It tried frantically to flip the evil Peter off its back and pull its core back into its torso.
But... it couldn't do it, it fundamentally couldn't do it!
Whether it was the evil Peter's speed, strength, or the golden flames burning across his body, everything was incomparably troublesome for the monster, rendering it entirely unable to divert its focus to retrieve its core.
"It's about ready!" Finally, the righteous Peter called out to the evil Peter.
Hearing those words, the evil Peter didn't hesitate for a single fraction of a second, instantly disengaging and flying toward the righteous Peter.
The two Peters merged back into a single entity. The Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb), which had fully integrated the Divine Dragon's power, hovered above Peter's head, casting millions of radiant beams of light.
The Dweller-in-Darkness's torso began to tremble. It exerted every ounce of its remaining strength, flapping its tattered wings in an attempt to fly toward the core it had spat out.
It tried to swallow that core back into its gut, hoping to use its undying, un-erasable body to withstand this blow it fundamentally had no power to resist.
Yet all of its deathbed struggles were destined to be nothing but futile.
"Don't waste your energy!"
Peter lightly pushed both his hands forward, concurrently uttering a soft phrase:
"It's time to end this."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Genki Dama boomed downward. That piercingly bright sphere of light didn't unleash any sound, nor did it carry any wind pressure. It simply drifted silently, seemingly slow yet completely un-evadable, flying straight toward the Dweller-in-Darkness and its energy core.
And then, under everyone's collective gaze, the sphere of light and the energy core finally made contact.
And then...
The world lost all sound, and it lost all color. Within everyone's field of vision, there remained only a sheet of pure, absolute white.
An extreme explosion of light and heat erupted in a single instant. That wasn't an explosion, but a higher tier of "annihilation" and "erasure."
The Dweller-in-Darkness's colossal frame, along with its undying trait and the very concept of its existence, was like snow under a blazing sun before this ultimate power. Without even being able to let out a single shriek of agony, it was completely and utterly erased from its very roots.
The radiant light that fully enveloped the entirety of Ta Lo village persisted for a whole minute. When the light finally dissipated, the dark clouds in the sky had long since vanished, and the long-lost moonlight spilled across the earth once more.
When the light disappeared, the battlefield was still left entirely devastated; however... not a single person on the scene had died!
Even though everyone had been enveloped by that erupting shockwave of energy, the impact hadn't caused them the slightest shred of harm.
Only the legendary, undying and un-erasable Dweller-in-Darkness had thoroughly vanished! Not even a tiny speck of residue, nor half a trace of its aura, was left behind...
