"Me surrendering to you? In your dreams. But aren't you getting cocky too soon," Lois scoffed, as the wounds on her body healed at an incredible rate, in just a second her wounded arm was patched up and so were the rest of her wounds. I guess this was the perk of being one with the world physically.

"I don't care what you think, the next words that come out of your mouth better be 'I surrender' or else it will be too late for you to regret it," Seeing the incredible recovery rate displayed by Lois's body I had already decided my next course of action understanding that subduing Lois with a few fatal wounds would be impossible when she had the world backing her.

"Hahaha, there is confidence and then there is overconfidence….." Lois wanted to mock the boy for his third-rate dialogue but her voice was masked by the sound of a huge explosion.

*Boom*

I considered myself a man of my word, having warned Lois, I delivered on my threat. I detonate thousands of blood explosion orbs blowing up the entire part of the world that was connected to Lois physically. This also meant I and Lois were also caught in this explosion. I don't know about Lois but my Gigamite physique would not survive such an explosion. So without even giving it much thought I transferred my mutated soul to one of my nearby pseudo calamity soul gems immediately after simultaneously detonating all the blood explosion orbs along with my current body.

The combined explosion of thousands of blood explosion orbs and the self-detonation of a demigod resulted in an explosion enough to shake the world. And it did, tremors and shock waves of the battle reached the sky blossom city. If not for the city array coming to Sky Blossom city's aid, the buildings of the city might have collapsed on themselves under the influence of the tremors and shockwaves from the explosion, killing millions of innocent lives.

"Holy shit," Anna and Ann, who were watching the fight from the sidelines, too had to take cover from the aftermath of the explosion.

"Is he dead? Did I win the wager?" Belphegor asked the twins believing the explosion to be Lois's doing to kill the boy.

"Shut your damn mouth, he is not dead. See he is right over there," Anna used the ring she gave the boy to sense his life and death, after learning he was alive, she searched his location only to find him walking out of the horizon unscathed and to her surprise from the opposite direction of where the explosion took place.

"What the fuck?" the devil cussed not understanding how the boy who was inside the explosion as it happened came out from the opposite direction of the explosion's location as if he was never in the explosion to start with. This was mind-bending for the devil.

Belphegor has been monitoring the boy's presence from the start of the battle, and as the huge explosion happened he had sensed the presence of the boy at the heart of the explosion. But somehow the boy survived, he was not only alive and well but he was walking toward the direction of the explosion. How was that possible?

Teleportation? That was impossible as he had felt the boy's presence inside the explosion as the explosion occurred. So how was he still present outside the explosion? How can a person be in two places at a time? Belphegor was obsessed over this. Because, unlike others who could not differentiate between the original body of the boy and his clone, he could thanks to the Devil Merchant Code, which helped him to keep track of the boy's original body using his wager pact with the boy.

Therefore, Belphegor was sure that the original body of the boy died in the explosion but somehow another original body of the boy popped up outside of the explosion. Obsessing over the boy's miraculous survival, Belphegor realized that he had seriously underestimated the boy until the very end.

Was the devil to be blamed for underestimating the boy? He was tricked by the boy once but how was he supposed to know that the boy was capable of such seemingly impossible feats? He was a freaking card soldier, who would believe that he would use the borrowed power to outdo the right eye of the world at her peak.

'No, all hopes are not lost yet. The girl should have another ace hidden under her sleeve. She might have survived the explosion like the boy,' Devil began to pray for a miracle, the irony in this was not lost. A devil praying, now that was just funny.

…

"Hahaha, there is confidence and then there is overconfidence….." Lois was mocking the boy but suddenly paused as the whole world in front of her slowed down, then seeing the blood explosion orbs surrounding her had exploded and that the explosion was about a centimeter away from reaching her, she understood what happened. Her fail-safe, GodSpeed, had kicked in.

The only reason Lois dared to stay behind to complete the mission assigned to her was because of this fail-safe, Godspeed. She had prepared this for field marshal Heatsend but she never expected it to be activated this early and by the boy no less. This day has been a real eye-opener for Lois. For a mere card soldier to bring her close to the death's door making use of powers he borrowed, Lois felt stupid and in awe at the same time. Her awe was obviously directed towards the boy.

Speaking of the boy, Lois searched for him thinking she should kill the boy before fleeing the scene.
