HP: god of potions

Chapter 146

Before the dust settled, Trigon descended like a storm of fire and shadow, his massive form streaking downward. He swung a clawed hand wreathed in hellfire — a blow that could reduce entire armies to ash. Grey twisted aside at the last instant, the heat searing his skin but leaving no mark. With perfect fluidity, Grey drove an elbow into Trigon's side, sending the demon lurching backward with a bellow of rage.

Darkseid was on him again, his strikes relentless and precise. Fists like meteors rained down, but Grey's speed was something even the New God couldn't match. He slipped through the barrage, each missed punch carving craters into the battlefield. Then Grey struck — a single uppercut that launched Darkseid skyward, his massive frame slamming through a fortress and reducing it to rubble.

Trigon roared, his size expanding as he unleashed his true form. Towering over the battlefield, he lashed out with both fists. Grey met him head-on, his own strength now beyond reason. Their blows collided with cataclysmic force, the shockwaves shredding the surface of Apokolips. Molten rivers burst forth, the planet's crust cracking beneath the strain.

Darkseid returned, his Omega Beams blazing toward Grey. But Grey's wings — radiant with star energy — flared wide, propelling him forward at unimaginable speed. He dodged the beams with ease, closing the distance and slamming a knee into Darkseid's chest. The New God crashed to the ground, carving a canyon in his wake.

Grey's eyes burned with untamed energy as he slammed his fist into Darkseid's face. The shockwave rippled outward, tearing the landscape apart. The very ground split, molten lava erupting through the cracks, and the air itself screamed with the pressure of their battle. Darkseid staggered back, blood trailing from his lip — an impossible sight — before his snarl twisted into rage.

Before Grey could follow up, Trigon burst from the ruins of the mountain range, his colossal form blazing with hellfire. His massive clawed hand swung down like a falling comet, but Grey twisted aside, the claws missing him by inches and carving a trench miles long into the surface of Apokolips.

Darkseid struck again, his fist connecting with Grey's ribs with a force that could shatter planets. The sound of impact was deafening — but Grey didn't even flinch. Instead, he caught Darkseid's wrist, muscles flexing with an inhuman strength. With a bellow, he wrenched Darkseid off his feet and hurled him through the air. The New God's body smashed through several of his own fortresses, each one exploding into fire and rubble.

Trigon descended, his wings casting the land in shadow. He unleashed a torrent of hellfire from his mouth, but Grey met it head-on. His body, imbued with the power of the Chimera Awakening Elixir, absorbed the flames, his lion-like form burning even brighter in response. Grey launched himself upward, his ice-formed claws trailing frost as he slashed across Trigon's face. The demon screamed in fury as blood, black and steaming, sprayed into the air.

Darkseid reappeared in an instant, his Omega Beams flaring — but Grey was faster. He ducked, the beams tearing through the sky and obliterating a distant mountain range. In the same breath, Grey closed the distance and drove his knee into Darkseid's gut. The force bent the New God double, and before he could recover, Grey's fist hammered down on the back of his head, sending him crashing to the ground like a meteor. Apokolips itself groaned under their battle. Cities crumbled, oceans boiled away, and the planet's crust fractured from the relentless violence.

Trigon struck from behind, his massive tail whipping toward Grey with the speed of lightning. Grey spun, catching the tail with one hand. With a snarl, he yanked, spinning Trigon off balance and slamming the demon into the shattered earth with such force that the impact created a miles-deep crater.

Darkseid rose once more, his eyes burning with hatred. He charged, his fists wreathed in cosmic energy. Grey met him halfway, and their clash sent ripples of destruction across the planet. Fist met fist, knee met rib, elbow met jaw — their blows faster than the eye could track, each one shaking the very atmosphere.

Grey ducked under a haymaker and drove his own fist into Darkseid's chest, sending the New God skidding back hundreds of meters. But before he could press the attack, Trigon surged upward from the crater, his wings unfurling in a storm of fire and shadow. He launched himself at Grey with terrifying speed, claws outstretched.

Grey met them head-on. The impact sent out a shockwave that flattened mountains and shattered the ground. He grappled with Trigon, their titanic strength evenly matched — but Grey's enhanced speed gave him the edge. He twisted, breaking Trigon's grip and delivering a brutal uppercut that sent the demon soaring into the air. Darkseid was on him immediately. Their fists collided again, the sheer force of their blows warping the space around them. Grey's strikes were relentless — a flurry of speed and power that pushed even Darkseid to his limits.

The ground beneath them shattered into deep chasms, magma erupting from the broken surface. Shockwaves rippled out with every impact, flattening entire mountain ranges and turning stone into molten slag. The very air screamed under the pressure of their battle.

Grey surged forward, his fist slamming into Darkseid's jaw with enough force to send the tyrant skidding back miles, carving a canyon in his wake. But Darkseid was already recovering, eyes blazing with fury. He charged again, his blows faster and harder, each one like a meteor strike. Grey met them head-on, their exchange becoming a blur of destruction. Trigon re-emerged from the ruins of the mountains Grey had hurled him into, his enormous form wreathed in hellfire. With a snarl, he swept his massive claws toward Grey, the sheer force of the attack sending hurricanes tearing across the landscape. Grey spun, catching the claw mid-swing, and with a roar, twisted and threw Trigon over his shoulder.

The demon lord crashed into the surface of the planet like a falling star, the impact sending tectonic plates splitting apart. Oceans boiled as shockwaves spread, and entire continents cracked beneath the strain. Darkseid was on Grey again, his fists raining down like hammer blows. Grey ducked under one strike, driving an uppercut into Darkseid's gut that lifted the New God off his feet. Before Darkseid could recover, Grey spun and kicked him with enough force to launch him into orbit.

But there was no time to breathe — Trigon rose from the devastation, his eyes glowing with rage. He charged, his massive frame moving with terrifying speed. Grey met him head-on, their clash sending out a concussive blast that vaporized everything in a hundred-mile radius. They grappled, each trying to overpower the other. Trigon's claws raked across Grey's chest, drawing blood that sizzled against the air. Grey's response was immediate — a headbutt that cracked Trigon's horn and sent the demon staggering back.

Darkseid returned, descending from the heavens like a comet. He hit the ground with the force of an extinction-level event, the shockwave sending debris into the atmosphere. Grey turned just in time to catch Darkseid's punch, their fists colliding in an explosion of light and sound. The planet itself was beginning to die — the atmosphere burned, oceans evaporated, and the crust crumbled. But the battle raged on.
