"Still feelin’ good down there?" Kai asked, twisting his wrist before punching the demon in the face, once, twice, a dozen times. Each blow sent out a shockwave.
Sweatii roared, blasting Kai back with a burst of demonic magic. Wings tore open from his back, and demonic sigils burned across his body. "ENOUGH!" he bellowed. "I AM POWER INCARNATE! THE SON OF THE DEMON KING! YOU WILL FALL BY MY HAND!"
"Hold on. Gotta add a check mark to that phrase on my list."
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sweatii unleashed a storm of cursed energy, black lightning ripping through the air. Kai vanished in a blur, reappearing beside him with a lazy wave.
"Where are you aiming at? You’re flailing like a child." Kai punched Sweatii in the gut, then kicked him into a wall. But he wasn’t done.
Taking a step forward, appearing right in front of Sweatii, he slammed his palm into the demon’s chest, and a burst of raw energy detonated outward. Sweatii screamed as his armor cracked and his body bent under the sheer force. Kai didn’t stop. He followed up with a spinning kick that shattered the sound barrier, sending the demon flying miles away.
"Fuck. I kicked him too far. Whatever."
Sweatii barely managed to stabilize midair before Kai appeared again, right in front of him, smiling. "Boo."
"AHHHHHHH!"
Kai grabbed the demon’s face and drove him straight into the ground, carving a smoking trench that stretched across the battlefield. When Kai finally let go, Sweatii lay broken, his demonic aura flickering like a dying flame.
Kai crouched beside him, hands resting on his knees. "See? Told you I was just warming up."
The demon coughed up black blood, eyes wide with disbelief. "Wh... what are you?"
Kai chuckled, standing and dusting off his hands. "Just a guy who likes a good workout and plans on killing your dear old dad. Wanna know why?"
Sweatii didn’t respond, but Kai spoke up anyway.
"Because I feel like it. Dammit! That sounded better in my head!"
’You really suck at coming up with cool one-liners.’
"Leo? What are you doing, talking in my head? Shouldn’t you be searching the universe for that decaying energy or whatever?"
’You know I can be anywhere at any time, right?’
"Then why aren’t you leaving already?"
’Because I had to comment on your horrible one-liners.’
"Some friend you are."
’You know that Sweaty guy is getting away, right?’
Without looking, Kai blasted a hole in Sweatii’s chest.
"Now he’s dead on the ground."
’You’re pretty brutal.’
"Didn’t you kill your children and blow up a universe because one god talked back to you or something?"
’Hey! I ended up restoring that universe!’
"Doesn’t change the fact that you’re more brutal than me. Like, bro, you’ve been around for what? Trillions of years? I’m not even two decades old. Well, technically, I am over a billion years old, but I haven’t lived two decades. Is that how that works?"
’Kind of, but not really.’
"Hmm. Doesn’t matter anyway." Kai picked up the corpse of Sweatii and stuffed it in his inventory.
"See you around. After taking over this pirate base, I’m going to an Island where women have big boobs. I’ll be radio silent for a while. Peace." Kai teleported back to the Pirate base.

"Die! Die! Die! Hahahaha! DIE!"
It was safe to say that the pirates stood no chance against Kai’s girls as they went around killing everyone they saw. Amaya was having the time of her life, and Karumi was loving the battle as well.
Gwen was also burning people alive with a smile on her face as if it were some sort of fun game she was playing.
"You know, maybe it’s an animal thing," Kyana said to Sasha as they watched the three of them go crazy. Even Parry was acting like them, and she was a softie.
"Let’s just get this over with. I’m trying to see what valuable items these pirates have stocked up on." Sasha threw her axe to the side, cutting off the heads of ten pirates. She held out her palm, and the axe returned to her.
As Kai had ordered them to, they only attacked the pirates who had an X on their heads. As for the ones who didn’t have an X on their heads, they were put into a trance and marched toward a random location where they all stood and waited for the purge to end.
I creeped out Barry, seeing people who couldn’t even act on their own just standing in some random corner of a room and staring at nothing. But he didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, he focused his energy on putting down the Pirates, but he didn’t kill them.
"Although they aren’t giving you a chance, I will. You can still repe-" Blood splattered on Barry’s face, cutting off his sentence.
When he looked to the side, he saw that Iris had cut off the head of the pirate he was speaking to.
"There is no repenting, Barry. There’s a reason why Kai marked these people. Now kill them or step aside." She demanded.
"There’s always another way! You don’t need to kill them. Look, I’ve rounded up over 20 of them, and they promised to repent."
"Them over there?" Iris asked, pointing with her sword.
When Barry looked, he saw the people he had rounded up dead in a corner.
"Yeah, I killed them," Iris admitted, and she didn’t feel bad one bit. "Grow some balls, Barry. Not everyone deserves a second chance." She took off
"Dammit." Barry’s hands started shaking, not from anger, but from his inability to take a life that wasn’t a demon. His beliefs were being challenged, and he didn’t like that.
"No, it’s wrong. I know the goddess believes that I’m doing the right thing, and I’m going to keep doing it. This is why I’m a hero and I will not betray her."
Little did Barry know that he was pissing off Aquaphina so much that she started ripping out her hair.
"Fuck! He’s so insufferable! I should have made Kai the hero instead of this fucking pussy!" Aquaphina’s real turned into a tropical storm, because of her rage, so she calmed down to make things go back to normal.
"Kai, you’d better kill that demon king so I can relieve this clown of his duties!"
