I'm a Villain, So I'll Take Over The World!

Before another strike could come, aimed to remove his head from his shoulders, Noah used ["Spatial Warp"] to create distance between himself and the man before invoking ["Absolute Recover"] in the next moment.

It easily mended the wound as his flesh closed up, even removing the stained blood from his torso.

"Regeneration? Yukio's intel was correct," Victor remarked.

Still, Noah found himself pressed by the strength of the man, unprepared to face another superpowered person. Nonetheless, he was confident in his abilities, having been studying the contents of his Creator's Grimoire.

"I don't know who you are, but I'm going to wring it out of you–one way or another," he promised with malevolence in his tone.

Victor felt a dark bloodlust oozing from the position of the foe that should merely by a college sophomore; though the silver-haired man raised his blade, the spell was already whipped up by Noah.

["Imaginary Beasts: Axis Dragons"]

The high-class spell displayed its magnificent nature in the conjuration of elemental dragons, born from mystical seals etched into the sky as serpentine rulers of the sky swept in around Victor.

"This is…?!" Victor spun around, swinging his golden sword to combat the draconic entities.

The elemental dragons took the form of different shades of fire; one was bright-red, another a fantastic azure, and the last was a sublime emerald.

While they spiraled around the mysterious man, breathing destructive flames onto him and forcing him to face them solely, Noah was given a chance to amplify himself.

["Absolute Enhancement: Agility"]

[Agility: 9000]

["Absolute Enhancement: Dexterity"]

[Dexterity: 5000]

["Weapon Construction: Vanta-Black"]

Forging itself from winds of dark mana, a sword crafted of all-black steel, embroidered with amethyst gems, was born into the grip of his right hand.

["Familiar Summon: Jester of Gods"]

From his stoic utterances, the invocation led to an astral entity coming to his aid in the form of a jester dressed in gold-and-white stripes, standing over three meters tall with a face that switched between varying clown masks.

As he finished using the spells he prepared, the ethereal dragons were dispelled by almighty slashes exuded from Victor's divine blade, casting golden light that cut through the magically-formed beasts.

Though this was expected for Noah as he let out a simple command for his summoned familiar, "Attack him, Jester."

A permanent smile stayed on the Jester of Gods' mask-like face before it spun around in a jovial dance, clapping its hands together as mystical balloon animals in the shape of great beasts were summoned, surrounding Victor.

"Honk. Honk," The Jester spoke only in honks.

Victor huffed, beginning to combat the colossal balloon animals with sword strikes, having to summon further divine weaponry as projectiles he launched in order to circumvent the claustrophobic horde summoned by the Jester.

Such creatures born of sentient balloons varied from faceless dragons to roaring chimera.

"These games will not stop me," Victor stated.

Though as the golden weapon wielded by the man popped one of the draconic balloons, he found the black-haired adolescent already in front of him, midway through swinging the pitch-black broadsword he wielded.

"No, but I will," Noah responded.

Before Victor could attempt to block with his own blade, evade, or counter with projectile-based weapons manifested around the two, Noah didn't allow for any such possibilities–

["Absolute Freeze: Singular Motion"]

It was a more condensed, smaller-scale usage of the time-stopping magic, used only against Victor himself in order to freeze the man in place for his incoming sword strike.

"--!"

As he swept the all-black blade across the air, it distorted space, bypassing the golden-armor entirely as if ethereally projecting through it, yet rending the man's flesh nonetheless.

Time resumed for Victor the moment the slash was finished, leaving him stumbling back as blood sprayed from the loose sections of his seraphic armor.

"Ngh-!" The man winced.

'It's as I thought: that armor is a nuisance, so using something like [Vanta Black] that bypasses armor is highly-effective,' he thought.

It wasn't over yet, exhibited by the fact that Victor pushed past his wound without any hesitance, swiftly engaging him in battle against with that lightning-like agility, sweeping across the uneven gravel in an instant.

A hefty portion of his own speed was put in prioritizing defense as he kept up with the man's swordplay, clashing blade-against-blade repeatedly as shock waves rumbled the construction site and sparks danced in the air.

Though he'd never swung in his life prior to this exchange, his [Dexterity] skill gave him the necessary base to keep up, though he found himself clearly outmatched in finesse by the older gentleman.

The silver-haired, stern man moved like sparks circuing through wires, utilizing footwork that made it incredibly difficult to decipher his next move as each step he took left golden sparks igniting the stone he stepped over. Air itself was heated and expanded through the matter-surpassing agility at which Victor moved, pushing Noah to respond in kind.

Abandoned pillars of stone and concrete walls were shattered through their fast-paced sword clashes, though as he stepped backward, a single slab of concrete caused him to lose his footing for a split-second, yet that was more than enough for Victor to break through his defense.

"You're a wrench thrown into the machine of balance in this world–for the future of humanity, fall!" Victor yelled.

Manifesting through portals of golden-and-silver essence, weapons of divine constitution were aimed towards him before firing off, breaking through the sound-barrier as they shot with the intensity of railguns.

'Am I…going to die?' Noah thought.

In his inexperience, such was the intrusive thought at the forefront of his mind as he watched with his hyper-reflexes as the destructive projectiles tore through the air, howling in his ears as his body was unable to keep up with his reaction.

Just as the weapons collided at the spot he stood, the impact released a seraphic energy, unleashing volatile masses of energy that swallowed the young man up.

Victor exhaled slowly, wiping the blood from his bottom lip as he stared towards the cloud of smoke, finding his job to be done.

–Though it only seemed so.

["Spatial Warp"]

Appearing behind the man, Noah came through a wormhole, bearing bleeding cuts and bruises on his body as his shirt had been blown to tatters, but he was left intact, still fighting as he swung his pitch-black blade towards Victor.

Noah found his sword stopped just short of reaching its target, clashing against the golden blade wielded by the man.

"--So you survived even that? I'll admit you're tenacious," Victor said.
