Kaizen plunged from the sky with overwhelming force, his body enveloped in a luminous aura that contrasted with Surtr's voracious flames. The sphere of pure fire in the titan's hands grew in intensity, shining like a sun in the depths of that infernal battlefield. The shadows of the combatants stretched out, dancing frantically in the scarlet light of the flames.

"Don't retreat!" Kaizen shouted, his voice resounding with unwavering authority. "Keep up the pressure!"

The battle around Kaizen raged with energy and determination. Xisrith, with his aquatic ability, continued to take on the fire golems, extinguishing their flames with precise jets of water. Jayaa, next to him, summoned roots from the ground, which enveloped the enemies and immobilized them, allowing Andrew, with his divine sword, to deliver deadly blows.

"Let's not give up, Kaizen!" Xisrith shouted, his voice laden with firmness.

Andrew raised his sword, which glowed with a heavenly light. "They won't get past us!"

Surtr, in an overwhelming rage, hurled the sphere of fire towards Kaizen, its heat distorting the surrounding air. The imminent impact seemed inevitable, but Kaizen, with supernatural dexterity, dodged at the last moment, feeling the scorching heat pass right through him.

The sphere exploded on the ground, creating a shockwave that made the ground shake. Incandescent fragments were thrown in all directions, burning everything they touched. Kaizen used the momentum of the explosion to gain height again, hovering momentarily before diving again, his fist clenched and energy pulsing around him.

"Surtr, this is your last chance to surrender!" Kaizen shouted, his voice laden with determination.

Surtr laughed, a guttural, cruel laugh. "You're a fool to think that I, a god of fire, would surrender to mere mortals!"

Kaizen felt the adrenaline rush through his body, every muscle fiber on high alert. He knew that this would be the decisive battle, the moment when everyone's fate would be sealed. With a war cry, he lunged forward, striking a direct blow with all his might.

Surtr tried to block with his massive arm, but Kaizen, with an agile movement, changed direction at the last second, hitting the titan in the flank. The impact was devastating, the energy of the blow reverberating through Surtr's body. He roared in pain and anger, swinging wildly to shake off his opponent.

Down below, Bloody Lily watched intently. She felt the tension in the air, every second seeming to drag by as the fate of the battle hung in the balance. With calculated precision, she prepared another arrow, imbuing it with magical energy that glowed brightly.

"Kaizen, hold it for another moment!" Lily shouted, her voice cutting through the surrounding chaos.

Kaizen nodded, dodging Surtr's furious blows. He needed to keep the titan distracted long enough for Lily to have a clear shot. Surtr swung his flaming hands, trying to hit Kaizen, but each blow met only air, while Kaizen moved with almost superhuman agility.

Down below, Xisrith, Jayaa and Andrew continued the battle against Surtr's minions. Jayaa, with her enchanting music, summoned more roots that intertwined around the enemies, restricting their movements. Xisrith, taking advantage, launched more jets of water, extinguishing the flames with surgical precision.

"Don't let them surround us!" Xisrith ordered, his voice firm and determined.

"We're with you!" Jayaa replied, her hands moving in harmony with the music she played, manipulating the nature around her.

Andrew, with a resolute look on his face, struck more blows, his sword cutting through the flames and flesh of his enemies. His every move was a display of skill and strength, a deadly dance that left a trail of destruction wherever it went.

Meanwhile, Surtr continued to swing his flaming arms, trying to hit Kaizen. But Kaizen, with precise and calculated movements, dodged each attack, keeping the titan busy. He knew that Lily's next arrow could be the key to victory.

Finally, Lily found her opportunity. With a deep breath, she aimed carefully, her hand steady as she pulled the bowstring to its limit. The arrow glowed with pure, concentrated energy, ready to be released.

"Kaizen, now!" she shouted, releasing the arrow with all her might.

The arrow flew through the air, a ray of light that cut through the surrounding darkness and flames. Kaizen, sensing the movement, dodged at the last moment, creating a perfect opening. The arrow hit Surtr directly in the heart, penetrating deeply and releasing an explosion of magical energy.

Surtr let out a cry of agony, his flames flickering and weakening. Kaizen wasted no time. With one swift movement, he lunged forward, delivering a decisive blow to the titan's heart. The energy of the blow reverberated through Surtr's body, and he staggered, his flames beginning to extinguish.

"That's... not... possible..." Surtr muttered, disbelief evident in his voice.

Kaizen, with an expression of fierce determination, replied: "You underestimated the power of unity and courage."

Surtr fell to his knees, his flames finally extinguishing. The titan, once imposing and invincible, now lay on the ground, defeated. The battle, which had seemed endless, was finally coming to an end.

Kaizen hovered in the air, looking down at Surtr's inert body. He knew that victory had been won with great sacrifice and determination, but there was still work to be done. He descended slowly, landing next to his companions.

"Did we make it...?" Xisrith said, his voice filled with relief.

In response to Xisrith's question, a large message appeared over Surtr.

[DEAD GOD!]

"That's it! We did it!!!" Andrew shouted, celebrating loudly.

Bloody Lily finally lowered her bow and sighed with a smile of relief. Luckily nobody died, so she was quite relieved.

"HOLY SHIT! WE ACTUALLY KILLED A GOD! CAN'T THAT BE THE ULTIMATE BOSS?!" Jayaa exclaimed, overjoyed.

Alina fell to her knees, exhausted.

Finally, Kaizen stood in front of Surtr's body. It was like looking at a statue now, because without the flames and the glow from before, he was just a pile of stones, like a golem. Was this what all gods looked like when they died? Did he need to kill more gods? At least Muspelheim's suffering was over.
