Section 104 of the Judge's Continent...
"Attack!"
"He's just one man! Resume your attacks!"
"Yes sir!"
"Ice Ring!"
"Power Shot!"
"Lava Burst!"
"Hellfire!"
"Lightning Storm!"
"Razor Wind Storm!"
"Chain Lightning!"
Cheng Long, Chambord, Ponferrada, and the Spencer Guild were four of Earth's strongest guilds. In other words, their soldiers were some of the best elite veterans Earth had to offer, and they quickly resumed their attacks even though this lone Crootian should have been killed instantly from all the previous attacks. This time, they didn't stop their attacks, fully intent on killing him this time.
The endless stream of spells and Skills seemed too much for a single enemy soldier, but the Terrans didn't stop. As veterans, it was shocking to see a single man remain standing after being pelted by a wave of thousands of powerful spells and Skills. The Crootian looked like he had barely received any damage from the Terrans' attacks. That was impossible, even if he was a powerful tank class. As the second wave of attacks reached into the tens of thousands, the Terran soldiers finally received the order to cease fire, and waited for the smoke to clear. This time, they were confident the Crootian was dead. Not even Lee Jiwon could have walked out of that wave of attacks scot-free.
"Gahahaha. My, my, I thought I was going to die from how ticklish your attacks were." The Crootian walked out of the cloud of dust and smoke, his clothes still intact and not a scratch on him. Again, he hadn't taken a single point of damage from their attacks.
"Was that all?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
No one replied to the Crootian's taunt. Even the four Terran guild masters were stunned into silence.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Is it my turn now? Rah!" The Crootian suddenly began to gather energy in his body, bloating his veins and arteries. It looked like giant worms were snaking all through his body beneath his skin. In a matter of seconds, he had grown into a ten-meter tall mass of pure muscle. He looked even bigger than a certain famous green comic hero.
{TN: The Hulk. The author is talking about the Hulk. }
The transformed Crootian then raised his head and spoke in a booming, deep voice."Others of my world took calling me a monster; Adora the Monster. You guys have a monster too, right? I want to fight him once. Well, I can always do that later. Let's have some fun first!"
Adora the Monster began his attack and charged like an offensive linemen. It was a simple attack that had disastrous results for the Terran army.
"Gah!"
"Ahh!"
"Shit...! Run away!"
The Terran soldiers were helpless against Adora's charge, and were either thrown several meters into the air or were trampled beneath Adora's massive body and crushed to death. Unfortunately for the Terrans, that wasn't the end to Adora's attack. He began kicking the Terran soldiers around like they were soccer balls, and he was a striker trying to score the winning goal during the World Cup. Each kick sent hundreds of Terrans flying into the air, killing almost all of them instantly.
The way Adora had charged without any weapons fooled the Terrans into thinking that his damage output wouldn't be as high, but from the way their fellow soldiers were screaming in pain and dying, they quickly realized they were gravely mistaken. Furthermore, these elite veteran soldiers had never fought against an enemy that fought like Adora the Monster. It was only normal that they were absolutely panicking against such an enemy.
Soon, Adora the Monster reached deep inside the Terran army's ranks. Adora was now completely surrounded by the Terran army.
"Rraaah!" The ten-meter tall giant jumped seventy to eighty meters into the air and came crashing down upon the Terran soldiers. The shockwave Adora formed was so great and powerful that the other Crootian soldiers were also caught in the area of effect.
"Gah!"
"Ahh!"
A mere jump had done the same amount of damage as a powerful Skill. But that wasn't all Adora did. Adora laid down on his side and began to roll over like a steam roller over asphalt, crushing even more Terran soldiers unfortunate enough to be standing in his way.
"Gyah!"
"Ahhh!"
"Fuck!"
"What the hell are we supposed to do?"
"Who attacks like that...?"
The Terran soldiers swore at the hopeless situation in front of them, but they didn't just stand there and let themselves get pushed around.
"Tanks! Get the tanks up front!"
"All healers and supporters are to focus on all of our tanks! I want thirty of you on one tank!"
"He's a deity! Debuff! Debuff him, damn it!"
"Yes sir!"
"Slow! Slow!"
"I imbue thy spirit with the Sin of Sloth!"
"Imprison my foe! Iron Shackles!"
Adora was pelted with countless debuff spells but the supporters who cast them quickly learned that their spells were ineffective.
"It's...it's not working!"
"He's unaffected by debuffs!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's...almost...as if he has immunity to status effects through the Unrivaled Skill."
"Bwahahaha!" Adora cackled."How pitiful! Fine, I'll tell you! I'm immune to all status effects!"
"How does a deity...?" It was common knowledge that deities could not learn the Unrivaled Skill. The four Terran guild masters were horrified. This monster existed outside of common sense.
"Focus all of our firepower on him. He's just one man; just one! As long as we focus on him, we can win!"
"Yes sir!"
Their strongest enemy was just one man. It was for this reason that no one had thought about retreat yet. As long as they could pummel Adora with endless attacks, they could defeat him.
——
Navana and the other seventy-two deities watched as Adora take on the Terran army alone. Adora didn't even bother avoiding or blocking against the enemy's attacks. It only made sense that Adora should soon fall, but not a single Crootian deity seemed worried. They all knew about Adora's third ability.
==[One Kill, One Shot. ]==
Not one shot, one kill as the saying usually known. While the commonly used saying meant kill one enemy with one shot, Adora's ability of One Kill, One Shot meant that Adora could only be killed by a single attack. That attack had to deal enough damage to deplete Adora's HP all at once. Adora was immune to any other attack that couldn't deal that much damage.
"The last time Adora revealed his HP to me, he had over two million health points. But I don't even remember how long ago that was, so I have no idea how much higher it is now, " Navana said quietly.
"Hahaha. I remember those days, " another deity replied.
"Seeing him fight like this again just makes me realize just how unbelievable his abilities are."
"He's practically untouchable thanks to his immunity to critical hits and the One Kill One Shot ability. It's impossible to deal enough damage to kill him without the help of critical hits."
"Hmph. Maybe. Even if critical hits did work, would it still be possible to kill him?"
"..."
"..." No one replied to Navana. It was definitely impossible for them.
"Claudia; only she was a special enough case."
"Alright. It's time we made our move as well, before they call for reinforcements."
"Understood."
The seventy-three deities began to slowly move their three hundred thousand soldiers to surround the Terran army.

Adora the Monster was having fun, pummeling the Terran army into submission. The Terrans were losing hundreds of soldiers as the seconds ticked on and their attacks were useless against him.
==[You have received 59, 570 points of damage. You have more HP than the damage dealt.
You will not receive any damage at this time. ]==
The four Terran guild masters did know why their soldiers' attacks weren't working. They did think that it was strange, however. Not a single one of their soldiers' attacks had flashed yellow. But no one pressed the issue. They were too focused on trying to kill this single enemy.

Sao Paolo, Brazil...
"It's...not like I didn't want to go to the Continent. I wasn't afraid of it, either. I just wanted to see what would happen if I used it. I never knew what it could do before then."
"You fell right into the trap. Or maybe God just hated you so much that he gave you that useless Skill." I couldn't come up with any other explanation about the Banish Random Skill.
"Is the Judge's Continent that dynamic as you say?"
"Yeah, it's great. You would have liked it."
"Hah... how disappointing."
"I feel the same, " I said as I raised my spear, poised to plunge it into Luana right away. But before I could, Luana spoke once more.
"Do you know what I thought about when I was left alone on Earth?"
I was ready to attack her in case Luana had any ulterior motives, but I stayed my hand. I could tell from her eyes that she had given up completely.
"I don't know. But I had fun, that's for sure. I was like a god on Earth."
"Yeah, that's how I felt, too. That's why I put on the mask of the Liberator and did whatever I wanted. But now... I understand why gods have become extinct."
"..."
"All of Earth's creatures can only accept whatever is similar to them. Of course gods were soon hated. What gave them the right to be almighty and all-knowing? That's why so many people abandoned their gods throughout history. That was probably why we devas and deities left the mortals on Earth. We can never go back to living like them ever again." Luana stopped to take a breath. I let her continue.
"Every time I came across a mortal, I realized that they were all toys to me; toys that I could break at any time. Do you know how I felt when I realized that? Why do I have to do anything for them? Why do I need to make a better world for toys? I could just toss them to one corner of the room and take one out to play with if I ever got bored. If they ever broke, I could just buy another one."
"I see, " I finally replied, as I brought my spear down to Luana's chest and pushed down.
"Gah!" Luana coughed as the spear blade pierced through without resistance. That wasn't the end. Soon, the Judge's hammer revealed itself, bigger than ever before, and slammed down upon Luana. As the dust settled, Luana was gone, dead.
"Check Call List." I hadn't listened to Luana's speech just because I was bored. When I had readied my spear to kill Luana, I remembered that Earth was still in its Otadolon stage. That was what the message had told me when I left Kazunari's dungeon. There was a chance Luana could resurrect, since we weren't on the Judge's Continent.
I had listened to Luana's last words long enough to register her into Call, but when I opened up my Call List again, I saw that her name had been removed. In other words, she was completely dead, as if she had died on the Continent.
I turned around as I scratched my ear."Who knew she would be this stupid? Why act like a god if she couldn't truly ascend as one?"
I gave one last look at the spot where Luana once was and left. It was time to show these Saviors who the real Keeper of Earth was.
