White Online-Chapter 698: Jack Vs. Jack.

Gaia and Lucifer looked at each other while hovering above the burning White Paradise.

They didn't speak a word until both of them disappeared and reappeared milliseconds later with their fists clashing. At the first clash, Gaia was pushed back. Lucifer reeled in his fists and punched towards the beautiful goddess, with each punch causing the air to explode.

Gaia stretched her slender arms forward and slapped the fists away with her palms and elbows. She then snapped her fingers, and enormous tree-width plants shot out of the ground and engulfed Lucifer.

"Vanish." Lucifer stepped forth with a wave of his hands, and all the plants vanished like they never existed. He then pointed his finger at Gaia and said, "Vanish."

Gaia crossed her arms and felt an invisible power grab her body. She struggled to open, but she then increased the speed of golden blood and made the heart pump the blood faster to her veins. Then she exploded with power, and with one yell, the invisible power disappeared.

Gaia's beautiful silver hair fluttered across her, making her look like an absolutely beautiful celestial creature.

"What are you trying to prove?" Lucifer asked. "You cannot defeat me. Only Chaos might be able to give some kind of challenge."

"You are a harbinger of death." Gaia relaxed her tense muscles. "I am the bringer of life. I am sure that answers your question."

"Foolishness." Lucifer said with a chuckle. "Sure, I can die in this war and rest of the Demon Kings. However, we won't lose this war. It doesn't matter what happens to us, but there are powers in universe that cannot be fought against."

"Well, we will deal with those powers when we get there." Gaia's hair started fluttering upward. "But for now, we will stop you."

"You don't get it." Lucifer clenched his fist and looked sharply at the goddess. "There is no victory for you."

"Maybe." Gaia jumped forward and appeared within hitting distance away from Lucifer. "But, you won't win either!"

Lucifer smashed his fist against Gaia's delicate fist. The two forces clashed and the air around them exploded.

...

"N-No, don't, please!"

Stab!

Jack the Ripper sliced through a begging man's throat with his curvy-edged knife. He was standing now alone in an alleyway with corpses strewn across the pavement.

"Hmm." He scratched his chin with the bloodied knife and thought aloud, "What did that demon want us to do? Uhh, can't remember. I guess just kill people."

He shrugged his shoulders and stopped caring soon afterward.

He soon left the alleyway and found the first pair of innocent-looking soldiers to kill. With one slice, two heads started rolling down the bloodied pavement. Even after killing ruthlessly, his expression didn't change, like it was some mundane thing he had just done.

However, then... everyone turned to sky as familiar laughter echoed.

"Hohohoho..."

Aether stopped chasing after Beelzebub and turned toward the snowy mountain with a small smile. "I see, they decided to show up."

"That..." Kalzer flipped over Lycanhowl's immensely quick figure and at the same time, turned to look at the source of the laughter. He recognized it.

Amour, who finished off another demon, looked toward the sky with twitching eyebrow.

Xerxus sighed and scratched his hair while Noelle ran through several demons around him.

In the sky, a flying sleigh, which was pulled by reindeers, appeared from the snowy mountains. Driving it was Christian Winter, Winter Society's Leader, who has a Legacy of Santa Claus.

Behind him in the seats were Snow Society's Leader, Savannah Snow. Then, next to her was Ice Society's Leader, Lee Ice, then next to him was Magnus Cold, Cold Society's Leader.

And then lastly, standing in the flying sleigh was Jack Frost, whose appearance immediately chilled the ground.

Jack Frost looked at the sky and then said, "I am off."

"Hmm?" Christian turned around and saw Jack Frost hopping off the sleigh and falling down mysteriously towards White Paradise.

"Me too." Savannah said and jumped out of the flying sleigh. She then started transforming and soon became a five hundred meter long Snow Dragon. Her legacy was Kuraokami, the mythological snow dragon!

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" She opened her enormous dragon jaw and breathed out snow, which froze all the demons that were in her vicinity.

"Whew, me too then." Magnus yawned and leaped off the sleigh. As he was falling, his body suddenly started having beautiful white fur, and then his face turned scary, almost looking like a gorilla except covered in white fur. He has a legacy of Yeti!

In White Paradise, Jack Frost calmly landed on top of a pitched roof building while looking down at a blood-covered killer who held a curved-edged blade.

Jack the Ripper and Jack Frost exchanged glances before both of them lunged forward and traded blows.

Jack the Ripper's blade grazed past Jack Frost's cheek.

Jack Frost summoned a staff and smacked it across the Ripper's face.

"Cold!" The Ripper exclaimed as layer of ice appeared around his cheek.

Jack Frost didn't pay heed to his cries. Instead, he spun the staff around and slammed it on the pavement. The entire street was instantly covered in ice, even freezing the Ripper entirely!

However, the Ripper was holding the grip of his Flintlock pistol inside the ice. Jack Frost didn't see him even draw the pistol, but he somehow managed to do so before getting frozen.

Inside the ice, Jack the Ripper slowly pulled the trigger and broke the ice with the bullet.

The Ripper put his finger between trigger guard and the trigger, then he spun it around and pulled the trigger several times. The bullets flew randomly in the streets until one of them tore through Jack Frost's thigh.

Jack Frost quickly froze the wound, but the Ripper had already grabbed his knife from the ground and plunged it deep into Jack Frost's chest.

"Never been fighting to death, eh, chap?" Jack the Ripper smirked. "That shall be the reason you died. You hesitated. You could have frozen my bones, but you decided on mercy. A mistake."

"F-Fine..." Jack Frost coughed up blood and showed a blood-stained smile. "Now... I won't hesitate."

"Eh?" Jack the Ripper felt the temperature decrease rapidly. He dropped his gaze in a hurry and saw that the knife and his arms had been entirely frozen. He cried out in shock, then the ice exploded, and half of the White Paradise was suddenly covered in a thick ice layer with a temperature below absolute zero.
