In a world covered with the vicissitudes of ice, a world-shaking battle was taking place, and it was a battle that would decide the fate of the Large World that was known as the Icebound World!

The three forces occupying the lands of Icebound World had all converged to meet in this single battle, with the cowering humans in the East finally making their stand and choosing to join with the Frost Race that had recently gained powerful helpers in order to bring the tyrannous Ice Giants’ war path to an end.

Freezing cold winds and snowy weather covered the terrain of this final battle, where two powerful auras were looking towards each other with extreme battle spirit on the wide terrains where hundreds of thousands of beings gathered. Billowing snow that obscured one’s vision continued to come down heavily, but it did not deter any of the two opposing forces.

On one side, the King of the Ice Giants, Larruk, held a tremendously large mace made of extremely hard crystals that shone in the light, giving the menacing weapon a beautiful sheen before it could be seen dripping with blood as it crushed countless beings.

The King of Giants was more than twenty meters tall, being five meters taller than the average Ice Gaint as he stood out prominently in the crowd. Expertly made blue battle armor covered the entirety of his body as he looked like a moving fortress that was ready to crush everything on sight.

Surrounding him were a variety of other powerful Ice Giants that could be called his generals, each one holding their own humungously sized weapons as they waited for the command to move against their enemies. They held varying levels of power, with many of them being in the Mythical Rank, and a few standing stably in the Phantasmal Rank.

On the other side, The forces of the Frost Race and Human Race had gathered together as they looked forth with trepidation, the large sizes of the giants continuing to etch fear into their hearts. The arctic penguins had changed from their casual tuxedos as they wore tight-fitting battle armor, their flipping giving off a dangerous sharp light as they looked ready to cut apart all they came near. The beings of the Frost and Human Race turned their gaze to the beings who could face off against the cold hard gaze of the powerful giants at the front lines as their fears eased just a little.

The sleek Emperor Penguin was in the front as his body floated serenely in the rough winds, rising in the air until his eyes were on the same level as the King of Giants. The runic marking in the middle of its forehead that showed off its title as the holder of the Sin of Pride seemed to become slightly more golden as the penguin’s eyes looked at its enemies with extreme arrogance. Its beak then proceeded to point towards the sky as it began the battle by showing disdain to its enemies!

Kazuhiko and the other forces were showing vibrant releases of power, as the Kraken had revealed its full size and showed that is was no less than even the King of Giants itself as its voracious tentacles and arms wiggled in the cold skies, while the Imperial Phoenix was the only one surrounded by warm air as her body had already begun burning with resplendent blue flames. The tounges flames danced around her body excitedly as if they could not wait to jump out and incinerate all that the Imperial Phoenix deemed to be her targets.

It was truly an assortment of powerful beings as a battle call resounded throughout the frozen landscape, signifying the start of the fight!

RAA! RAA! RAAAAA!

A prideful cry reverberated throughout the skies as the body of the Emperor Penguin shone in a gorgeous silver light, its flippers raised high in the air as its face adopted a condescending look towards its enemies. The atmosphere trembled as a blazing golden sun appeared in the skies above the Ice Giants, its extreme heat and weight descending down towards the giants as the flipper of the Emperor Penguin came down.

{Sin of Pride}, [Sun Throw] was used as a terrifying sun barrelled down at high speeds in the Icebound World. [White Dwarf Throw] was the enhanced version of this skill that Noah enjoyed as the <<Absolute Sin>> holder, and his harbinger of pride could strike down suns towards those that stood against him!

OOOOH!

The descending sun put immense pressure on the King of Ice Giants as he roared, a variety of abilities coalescing on his body as his crystalline weapon shone with immense blue light, getting ready to meet this attack at any moment.

Kazuhiko did not want to be left behind as he moved rapidly around the battlefield, his sword letting out palpitations of darkness as he struck down hundreds of enemies all around him, and then activated [Loot the Body], a subset of the {Sin of Greed} skill, as a voracious devouring red darkness erupted around him and engulfed the entirety of the dead beings around. Their bodies and origins instantly turned in nothingness as they were all absorbed into Kazuhiko as [Focus], [Strength], or [Vitality]. In a few small instances, he even gained some new skills in his stat panel as he looted more and more bodies!

"Haha!"

Raucous laughter released from him as he focused on moving around the battlefield, his party of beast girls not too far behind him as they let out colorful lights of their own. Kazuhiko would occasionally look at the visibly rising number in his stat panel as he continued to slash any giants he came across while stealing their attribute points and abilities for himself.

The Imperial Phoenix was not too far back, her body revealing its curvaceous figure as she changed from an astounding phoenix wielding blue flames and into a demonic form of a succubus!

[S.e.x Demon Transformation] was activated as her body was granted even more power, a gaze of dangerous proportions coming off her face as she put her hands on her lips and...blew.

OOONG!

A terrifying blue miasma spread out from her as it went on to cover thousands of Giants around the battlefield. The Ice Giants found strength leaving their bodies as they looked towards the Imperial Phoenix with loving gazes they had never given even to their mothers as they heard a sweet command from her, their minds imagining the amazing ways they would spend their nights together the moment they completed the command from this being they loved the most.

They brought whichever weapon they were holding in their hands as they turned them towards themselves! Those which huge blades serrated their own necks, those with cudgels and hammers smashed their own heads until they became unresponsive, but their gaze was still that of profound love as they looked towards a sweetly smiling Imperial Phoenix with the enhanced form of a succubus!

It was an eerie and dangerous sight to see as even someone who was not affected, Kazuhiko, briefly looked at this sight as his eyes shone towards this curvaceous form. He was reminded of his unsuccessful attempts at flirting with the Imperial Phoenix these past few days, wondering whether he should go to Noah to ask him exactly how he was able to charm the Frozen Queen and Barbatos so he could apply the same principles to this cold Imperial Phoenix. His thoughts were quickly interrupted as he felt a hammer twice the size of his body descending down from a giant, cutting his thoughts short as he put more mana to his next attacks to make his enemy feel even more pain for the interruption.

The humongous Kraken focused on the battle and was fully utilizing the {Sin of Wrath} as its reddened eyes gained a bloody color, its mind dredging up the worst memories that induced immense anger as an encompassing red light erupted from it. His power reached insane levels with [Rage Empowerment] and [Fury Channeling] as something even more spectacular was activated.

The immense levels of anger it held deep inside its heart, the helplessness it felt when it saw the world it was born in shatter into pieces...this anger grew more and more as it manifested itself gloriously with [Anger Avatar]!

The humongous body of the Kraken found a reddened battle-armor forming around its many arms and tentacles, the ends of each of them gaining shining red spikes that seeped with blood as his aura momentarily overtook the whole battlefield. A variety of emotions clouded its mind as it recalled its destroyed homeworld, the billions of beings that lost their lives, as well as the origin of something very close to him!

AAAAA!

A deadly scream erupted from the Kraken as a bloody light was released, its huge body spreading out like a fan over the battlefield and spinning rapidly as powerful Ice Giants in the thousands were turned into a mass of flesh and bones. Those that were watching could feel a tremble deep in their hearts as they unconsciously felt an unknown anger dredge up from the depths of their hearts.

HMPH!

The sleek penguin in the skies observed these stupendous scenes around it as it did not like the fact that it wasn’t the center of attention, a snort ringing out as [Pride Embodiment] activated and caused a shining golden light to gloriously erupt from it. His facial expression seemed to become nobler as the sleek feathers covering it became golden, the body becoming an embodiment of pride as a power that was not at the Phantasmal level was released.

"Burn, little ice giants, burn!"

An arrogant voice that seemed more like a command rang out from its beak as the Ice Giants felt themselves being brought to their feet in a kneeling position, their gazes turning towards the skies as they observed two more blazing suns appearing explosively in the skies as they barreled down towards them. This made it three suns that were now descending down at their position, and at the centermost of all this was a gloriously glowing golden penguin that seemed to be looking at them with eyes that only saw them as something less than bugs.

The King of the Ice Giants, Larruk, looked at this sight in dumbfoundedness as he felt the powerful strength he had always known leave his body as he thought a few last words.

’What the f.u.c.k was this?!’

BOOOOM!

...

Silence reigned in the battlefield after the explosion of three suns, the Frost Race looking towards where the King of Ice Giants stood only to find a scarred landscape with burning flames, the only thing left behind being burnt masses of bones. The large crystalline weapon that the King of Ice Giants carried was the only thing intact as all around the area, only death reigned.

Immense shock and slight fear entered their hearts as they turned to look towards their powerful helpers in the sky.

The others were looking at the penguin and shaking their heads because they felt a change in its aura at the last moment, realizing this penguin had released the limiter they decided to place on themselves and revealed its power at the Transcendent Rank!

Nearly all of them were in the Phantasmal level, with a few being in the Transcendent level after Noah gifted them with an abundant amount of Transcendent and Saint ranked [Cores] that they began absorbing instantly, causing their strength to skyrocket in this short period of time.

Since the world they were in only had at maximum beings of the Phantasmal levels, they had agreed to use the opportunity to train their skills through battle and not overpower everything through force!

Alas, the Emperor Penguin could not help itself as released not just a single sun, but three and directly killed the leader of the enemy forces in the first few minutes of the battle. It only scratched its head in embarrassment briefly before its arrogant eyes turned golden and it moved towards the enemies once more.

RAA! RAA! RAA!

The remaining Ice Giants trembled as they heard the terrifying battle cry again, feeling their knees grow weak as fear occupied their hearts.

The beings of the Frost Race and the Human Race looked at this as immense thrill came to their faces as they moved forward with vigor and power to claim their victory.

OOOOOOH!

The battle for the Icebound World that had started not too long ago, had actually found an untimely ending.
