Not long after, Saize and Mirror Knight and the others rushed like lightning to the place where Belial and Zero were locked in fierce combat. At that moment, Zero was hoisted into the air, his neck gripped tightly in Belial's massive hand. He struggled frantically, but could not break free from Belial's iron-vise grip. Belial himself was in a similarly battered state; his once-impregnable Dark Armor was now shattered and ruined, and his helmet was completely gone, revealing a twisted, ferocious face and a pair of eyes glowing with a sinister crimson light. Those eyes burned like raging fires, glaring viciously at Saize and the others who had just arrived on the scene, as if he wanted to tear them apart and devour them alive. The tension in the air was absolute!
"Saize! You have only two choices before you now: first, let my consciousness merge into Zero's body to control him; second, let my consciousness merge into your body to control you! Hahahaha..." Belial laughed wildly, shaking the suspended Zero violently in his grip as he spoke.
Trapped within Belial's clutches, Zero struggled with all his might and shouted, "Saize, don't listen to Belial! Take everyone and get out of here!" Yet despite Zero's desperate cries, he remained trapped in Belial's powerful grasp.
