IM/DC Chapter 157

Except, I have over fifty powers and some aren’t used very often. Even without him giving me access I can fundamentally corrupt his being with biomatter manipulation. I could strike him with the same power as Superman if I used energy control and all the kinetic energy I had stored.
I could even attack him mentally possibly leaving him reeling in pain for a few seconds. In those seconds many other attacks would land against him but, there was still a better option. Two powers I didn’t purchase or steal but made myself. Mana control and force control were the two options I went with. I didn’t have enough time to steal a large chunk of either but I didn’t have to.
Just attacking his demonic mana core was enough to vibrate his very being at a fundamental level. It had been built and strengthened but like a house of cards, it could be weakened and possibly collapse. A single blow against his core would be better than a thousand earth-shattering strikes in the long run as his divinity had to work to hold his energy inside his body.
If his core did break it would be akin to setting off a dimension warping bomb that would kill everyone inside this plane of hell. I could only rip out about one percent of his energy but even just that amount was as much as everything I had gathered in this lifetime by four. I could become a solid core in both mana and force with just the meager amount I had stolen before I was knocked away.
I was only given this chance because of the golem he had struck. It wouldn’t have taken him more than a thought to readjust or move away before I could touch him but the moment he came in contact with the golem it latched on and began siphoning him the same way I had just done. It was to a smaller degree than myself and couldn’t attack his core directly but as it folded around his hand and began sucking his energy it distracted him enough for me to do the same.
It would also lessen the chances of his energy going wild and exploding. My attack didn’t do much for his size, instead only speeding up how fast he shrunk compared to before as more of his divinity was focused on stopping the siphoning of his power. The original golems who were set to the array had burnt out and the second set quickly replaced them.
As he realized what I had done it appeared he knew he was going to die. His goal shifted from winning the fight to taking me down with him. A punch the size of a semi-truck flew towards me but he made another mistake. He attacked me with the hand that the golem was attached to. As it reached me I turned all of the stolen power against him.
It was enough to match the same force as a reality-warping punch. The opposing forces were so strong the golem couldn’t take it and started to break apart but it had served its purpose of protecting me. His body launched backward from his own energy as everyone finally recovered and started to bombard him again.
Two lightsaber strikes leaving giant gashes across his chest as Superman’s punches are now strong enough to rock Trigon’s head to the side from the blow where Wonder Woman is waiting to strike it back towards Captain Marvel and she hits him towards Shazam.
Solomon Grundy punched at one leg with enough intensity to shake a country while Hulk hammered on the other. As he recovers enough to push us all away the magicians and ranged take that chance to hit him with everything they had left. If he was as big as Mount Everest before he was now only the size of a ten-story building. He still had the power to fight toe to toe with Superman but he wasn’t fighting just Superman.
Constantine and the magicians with any real skill finally finished their preparations as magical chains of light came up binding his arms and legs. He could break free in seconds but that was seconds he wasn’t attacking us. Every blow kept shrinking him more and more as Mephisto finally came in and tried to betray our promise. It really revealed the level of difference between the two as only Superman and Wonder Woman broke off to beat the shit out of him.
He was already weakened in his fight against Trigon so it didn’t take much to subdue him. Even still, it made more sense to have a contract demon rule hell over a slaughter/war demon like Trigon. I could see the last dregs of his strength fading from him as he broke his chains and made one final attack in desperation. Slamming the ground to try and give himself time to think of a way to escape.
It didn’t have even a tenth of the power behind it as his first slam had. It only tossed up a mile of debris that didn’t break any magical barriers and only knocked the Thing and Hulk away. Everyone else still laying strikes on him as visible wounds formed on his body. I teleported behind him and hugged his back as Chou Tzu did to Nappa in Dragon Ball Z. Instead of blowing myself up though I was focused on stealing as much energy as possible while making sure I was in contact with him when he died.
I felt his core struggling to produce more energy than it had to keep making his attacks powerful and felt almost sorry for him. He was my future father-in-law after all. Maybe I could keep the husk he had become tied up in our basement feeding him the souls of those I disliked but no. He needed to die for Raven to feel safe and for my own safety.
His strengthened body finally dropped below my own threshold as I started to rip his now human-sized frame in half with my bare hands. Even after being bisected he was still alive. A blow crushed his head and he was still alive. I ripped his heart from his chest and he was still alive. I siphoned off all his remaining divine energy before he finally triggered my siphon power.
