Jack's hand jerked into the air, as the Mountain Ape Hermit uttered disbelief. Jack pulled his hand back to the front of him, as he now held the giant ape in one hand. The Ape stared half disbelief and half anger.

"CHOU THI-!" The old hermit opened his mouth to yell, as Jack punched him.

The old hermit began to struggle in Jack's grasp to free himself, as Jack continued to punch the ape repeatedly. One punch, another punch, ten punches.

Black blood streamed from the ape's nose, as Jack threw him to the ground, as he spoke, "Leave now and don't come back. I don't have time for you."

Jack in the air, turned to fly back into the city to his beloved, as he heard raged yells, "CHOU NOT DONE WIT ME! ME NOT DONE WIT CHOU!"

The Mountain Ape jumped back into the air, as the ground fractured under his feet from the force used to lift himself.

Jack's anger reached a new height, now that he realized that this jackass wasn't going to let him get back to Leslie without dying first. He was only going to let him go because he wanted to be by her side first.

"WHEN I'M DONE WIT CHOU, IT WILL BE THAT LITTLE BITCH TURN! AND THEN CHOU'RE WHOLE KINGDOM! EVERYTHIN-"

Jack's runic tattoos flashed on his bones, as more light poured into them, as the area around him darkened.

Joan realized that her God-King was thoroughly pissed, and she wasn't sure what he was going to do... As she looked to the Glowstones on the street bursting one after another.

Eris on the roof of the Holy Palace watched as the Glowstone lamps burst, and the Light was pulled into the direction of her god. She watched as the Lights of the City exploded in a chain reaction from her perch high above, and the Light was drawn to her god.

[What... What is he going to do now?] She looked to her god in the sky, outside the city, but couldn't see him for the fluxing space around him.

Jack angrily lashed out against the coming hermit. Gathering himself, he shot himself down to meet the old ape as the ape was flying up to meet him.

As the two came into contact, both with one arm raised to shield and one arm to punch, Joan and Eris, found they couldn't hear anymore.

Everyone in the storm shelters, that didn't know what was going on top side, and Jack's trusted people, Lucius, Emily, and Verruca, also couldn't hear.

Undead talked, but no one could hear each other.

Then...

It was as if the volume of everything was turned to the highest setting, as all the undead collectively held their heads, or instantly turned off their hearing!

Even if they couldn't hear by choice, or covered their ears, they all felt the tremors in the ground and the shifting of land that continued afterward.

Leslie blinked her eyes a few times, as she looked up to see a snake-headed woman, even as the City was plunged into darkness... "Who are you?"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Haha, Its Joan, Consort Leslie," Joan spoke as her ears were buzzing continuously.

"Oh...? Wait... WHERE'S JACK!?" Leslie attempted to get out of Joan's grasp but felt that it was difficult to move her body, something she hadn't felt before...

"Easy there... I don't know much about your form, but I'm certain you're hurt. The God-King is currently fighting the giant gorilla." Joan replied.

Leslie twisted in her arms, to look in the direction of the only source of Light in the sky... Jack!

Jack looked from on high down from his position in the air, to the Ape that was now buried into the ground, who was now with a wretched look. Jack nodded to himself, that this is as it should be... But felt that since the old fucker was still groaning in that hole, it was still a problem.

He looked left and right, to check for any by standards. Jack realized that they were to the west of Saigunrai, in the wastes so that many of the villages were further west or behind him.

"Good, but not enough."

Jack raised his arms air above his head, as the Light from inside his body billowed out into a small ball above his hands.

"More..."

Continuous flowing light issued into the basketball-sized sphere, as it enlarged again.

"...More..."

The glowing ball soon bellowed to the size of a skeletal horse.

"...More! It's not enough! MORE!" The ball enlarged again, and again! It quickly expanded into the size of a stadium Jack would see in his last life.

"MORE POWER! SO MUCH MORE!" Jack's runic tattoos gorged on the light, as around him became shrouded in void.

The hazy ball of light seemed to be ignited, as it ballooned to ridiculous proportions and was currently the size of eight kilometers above his head and still growing, dwarfing Jack.

As it continued to grow rapidly, an explosive sound issued, and a searing wind wrapped around and expanded from the epicenter racing through the skies of the Underworld. The largest size of the light sphere collapsed inward into a sphere now the size of a kilometer.

The sphere no longer looked to be made of Light but was issuing light, as it rumbled continuously above his head. It radiated so much light, that it illuminated the dark skies, as flares of fire lashed out to crash back down into the now burning sphere of light.

Objects in the surround began to quiver, as they flew up toward the sphere, and be vaporized just before hitting the fireball. The large stalagmites of the roof of the Underworld broke away and fell to the same fate, as pieces of land breaking away below to become dust before the Fireball.

Jack maintained the fireball above his head, as he felt sharp pains in every bone. He felt his soul tearing, and his bones rattling in their joints... But he felt it was finally enough. Jack moved his hands to bring the fireball down on top of this bastard that destroyed his city, ruined his reputation, and most of all... Hurt his beloved.

Jack cackled out loud, even as the rumbling of the ball of fire drowned his voice out, "Good bye... Mountain Ape...! HAhahHAHahHAhahAHAHa!"

As the Fireball illuminated the Underworld with its very presence, The undead as far away as the Abyssal's People walked out of their homes to see the sphere of Light on the horizons, and wondered how this would happen.

*******

Mark had just got information that the Skull of the Sun God was covered, and was being transported now, looked out of his window to see the skylines reminiscent to the descriptions of the Overworld.

Mark muttered to himself, "...God-King...?" As now he began to wonder about what this Title truly meant.

*******

The five Vampire Galleons were making their way up the coast of the Ruined Continent, as those on desk watched the light show in the distance. Many on board had never seen such displays, and only two of the old foggies on board knew what it was, as they told the others it was a fight between high-level cultivators.

However, everyone on the ships stopped their merrymaking once the red light of the fireball ignited above. They could all feel their skin instantly begin to burn as if they were put into an oven!

"DOWN THE DECKS! TO THE ROOMS! QUICKLY, QUICKLY!" The old foggies hurried their men, the first mate calling orders! As the two of the oldest, they knew what that monster in the sky was... But... HOW!??!!?

Those that were not fast enough.... were left to the fate of the winds, as their ashes drifted away in the breeze.

*******

Eris stood on top of the Holy Palace, as her mouth gaped open, as she felt the warming sensation on her skin... It didn't burn as she basked in the glow of the tyrant of light in front of her.

She muttered only two words, "The... Sun..."
