Artificial 7: Genesis Requiem

Chapter 42: Underdogs

(Artwork is done by AI. It was originally meant to be the equivalent of Doom Guy in the Demon Realm, but that idea was scrapped, and now I'm using the artwork that was originally made for something else. This is the summon that Anton fights.)

Anton's POV:

So I go for a walk and do some shopping at the mall for me,
my cousins,
baby sister, mom,
uncle, and aunts,
and what happens?
The world goes to shit.
All these mech suits shooting up civilians,
Demons running lose and attacking people,
mechs destroying buildings and factories to kill Exorcist.
The list goes on.

The first thing I did was call Miss Morgan and ask how things were at the house,
and all the slaughter hasn't made it's way up there yet.
I told her I'd be there asap,
then hung up,
and that was when Genesis's summons appeared all over London.
For fuck's sake.
Can't a man get some peace and quiet for a few days?
Guess not. Alright,
let's get the show on the road!

I put all the stuff I bought in my pocket dimension and then made my way down to Westfield London mall where a giant kaiju sized Demon is attacking the area. It was a large white humanoid looking beast with a giant set of jaws with the lower jaw being slightly longer than the upper jaw,
almost like it was used for digging purposes.
I fire multiple shadows on buildings and pull myself back as far as I could make them stretch,
jump, and the shadows fire me like I sling shot as I drop kicked the giant Demon in the face!

It stumbles,
and I deployed my dragon wings to remain in the air.
The Demon noticed me,
and I noticed two large shackles on its wrist.
The more I look at it,
the more I see that its skin is like a metal,
or more accurate,
an armor. It looks at me and roars, getting me to plug up my ears.
It smacks me out of the air,
grips the chains on its shackles,
and tries to whip me with it!
Playing video games that have involved flying has prepared me for this moment.

I fly around,
avoiding the chain whip strikes,
and I fly at it,
utilizing the Shadow Flames in a more Bakugo styled away,
using hit and run tactics.
The Demon must have evolved to fight me as this oil like fluid released from the cracks in its skin,
run down the chains,
and now those chains turn pure white instead of the silver color and now the chains look like it's metal skin.
The ends of the chains shape shift into a flail as a large sphere with spikes formed,
and it swinged and twirled it at me, but me being smaller and faster,
I was able to get around it easily.

After a few minutes of explosive damage caused by my Shadow Flames,
it adapted and smarten as the flail it made shape shifts into a hunting knife of sorts.
It still had the chains attached to the bottom,
but other than that,
it used a lighter weapon to try and slice or stab me.
I was lucky for a while,
and then it actually cut me!

My body was a blood paste on the ground,
but thanks to my father's gentics,
I regenerated a new body just from my blood alone!
I get up naked as can be,
and sadly,
clothes won't regenerate with your body. Several people ran by me,
and one guy caught my interest,
so I grabbed his white trench coat with a fur hood and told him to take it off.

He tried to punch me,
so I dodged,
kneed him in the gut,
and kicked him onto his back.
Grabbing his sleeve and phasing it off him.
The kaiju sized Demon roars at me,
and the man runs in fear as I slip the trench coat on.
"Now, this is more of my style."
I put my hood on,
and finally,
I busted out the Shadow Golem.
I made it kaiju sized as well,
and we begin grappling,
punching, kicking,
and kneeing.

It rips a building in half and bashes my Shadow Golem's head with half a building,
so I aimed a hand and fired a shadow beam right in between its jaws and out its head.
I shape the other hand of my Shadow Golem into a gun and aim it.
