Chapter 315: The Ancient Awakening: The Clash Of Sovereigns

"You?!"

​Void Calamity pulled her hand right from her chest, ripping through flesh and bone, but instead of a mortal wound, she found herself staring at the viscous red energy which was stuck on her pale arm. It was a curse.

​"I told you. I won’t lose!!!"

​BOOOOM!!!

​A volatile mixture of gold, red, and black energies burst out from Mirabella, the sheer force of her awakening sending Void Calamity flying backward.

​"Huh?" She looked up at the explosion, her primordial composure fracturing. She was seeing Mirabella still hovering in the air, the catastrophic hole she created on Mirabella’s chest was healing rapidly that it completely stunned her.

​’A human shouldn’t have such healing abilities,’ Void Calamity thought. The laws of Galaxy Fall dictated that such a wound was instant death; bypassing it required a biological foundation far beyond human limits.

​"Hahahah! Then it’s a good thing I am more than a human." Mirabella said, her voice dropping into a resonant, overlapping growl.

​The integration of her dragon Bloodline began. Her golden eyes shifted, the pupils slitting as the irises turned full blood-red. Pure, diamond-hard white scales appeared on her skin, tearing through her pores to form impenetrable armor. Then, two huge, majestic horns followed, curving from her skull to crown her as an apex predator. Her six black wings flew in length, the abyssal feathers hardening as they added a whole one meters to their wingspan.

​"Pure Dragon Bloodline?" Void Calamity muttered in genuine surprise, recognizing the ancient hierarchy that predated even the modern system.

​"You think you are powerful?" Mirabella’s asked, her huge wings flapping behind her, generating cyclonic winds that cleared the smoke of the ruined city.

​"I have never used this before, be honored you will be the first to witness it!" Mirabella said, embracing the monstrous vitality as white dragon scales covered the flesh on her face, masking her human vulnerability behind the visage of an ancient sovereign.

​"Come on!"

​BOOOOM!!

​She turned around and shot towards Void Calamity, breaking the sound barrier instantly, and send her fist forward, her knuckles wreathed in draconic energy.

​"You foolish child, I am a lot faster than you, I can dodge this with my eyes close!" Void Calamity said with a smirk, fully trusting her billion-point agility stat to render the attack useless. But the next moment:

​BOOOOM!

​Mirabella’s fist smashed directly into her face. The impact shattered the air itself, sending her flying straight towards the Earth, smashing into it like a meteor, rising a massive cloud of dust and pulverized concrete.

​"Did you finally noticed it?" Mirabella asked, arriving some meters above the crater, her red eyes looking down with cold supremacy.

​Void Calamity slowly stood up, brushing the rubble off her shoulders, staring at the red energy which was still tightly wrapped around her arm like a parasitic chain:

​"Is this a curse?" She asked, looking up at Mirabella, finally reading the anomaly.

​"I truly underestimated you... Placing such a powerful curse on me. Completely blocking my agility and defense stats, downgrading them to a weak nine stars cultivator..." She added. The realization that her primordial, domain-rank zeroes had been stripped away and forced into a mortal power-scaling bracket should have terrified her, but instead, a twisted grin appearing on her face:

​"Do you think such Curse will bother me!!!" She yelled, and shot forward again, relying on sheer, untamed violence.

​"I won’t lose!!"

​Mirabella shot towards Void Calamity, her massive wings propelling her downward with the force of a falling star.

​"DIE!!!"

​The two yelled in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, and smashed down with their claws.

​BOOOOM!!!!

​A devastating sonic wave spread out from their collision, atomizing the surrounding debris, destroying more of Queens, and wiping out every single low- level monster in range. Even with Void Calamity’s stats dropped to the nine-star stage, her primordial muscle speed was still faster than Mirabella, who didn’t slow down. Instead, Mirabella activated DASH, a movement skill, intentionally using it at the point of impact to steal her opponent’s remaining agility stat to use as hers.

​BOOOOM!!

​The backlash was too much for either body to fully absorb. The two flew backward, both vomiting a mouthful of blood as their internal organs ruptured and instantly healed.

​"I can’t believe a mere human injured me!!! Even if you’re the child of prophecy, you can’t injure me!!" Void Calamity screamed, her aristocratic facade completely melting away. The flesh on her back tore open as twenty huge tentacles shot out from her back, each of the fleshy appendages ending with a grotesque creature maw, filled with razor sharp, soul-tearing teeth.

​"I will tear you apart!!" She yelled.

​Mirabella wiped the blood off her lips, her draconic gaze absolute and calm: "Tear me apart, you must be dreaming."

​She closed her eyes, tapping into the deepest, most complex architecture of her powers.

​"I haven’t showed you any of my strongest abilities, now, I will have to unleash everything. Truthfully, you are the first who’s making me go all out." She said.

​She bypassed standard casting times, utilizing her soul’s vast processing power, and started murmuring destructive skills, stacking buffs, debuffs, and environmental modifiers in a flawless sequence:

​"Echo of Frailty, David Manifestation, Soul-Wind Annihilation, crystal prison, Chess Art; Sun Chessboard, Helm of Advancement, Annihilation Lightning, Fog Lord, Tears of swords, Crystal doom, Lightning Grave, and Sonic Gravity."

​The sheer weight of the overlapping commands bent reality. She stretched her hand towards the sky as the Golden Lotus Bow appeared, which she aimed at Void Calamity:

​"Light Bullet... All Legendary and God class skills, activate."

​BOOOOM!!!

​Instantly, the environment was completely overwritten. Dark fog appeared out of thin air, generated by the Fog Lord skill, enclosing the whole of Queens in a sensory-deprivation zone. This was immediately followed by a huge dark crystal domain, expanding from Crystal Prison and Crystal Doom, covering every single creature inside and locking spatial coordinates. A phantom chessboard appeared below the ground, illuminating the dark with golden lines, and massive, ethereal chess pieces appeared on each box, strictly enforcing the absolute rules of the Sun Chessboard.

​"This?" Void Calamity moved her gaze around in disbelief, her primordial senses completely blinded by the layered God-class domain.

​BOOOOM!!!

​She could hear the deafening sound of Annihilation Lightning rolling through the clouds, but couldn’t see anything through the fog and domain.

​"You think this can hold me!! No way!! I am Void Calamity! The god of Void!!" She yelled, refusing to be caged by a mortal’s spell matrix. She stretched both hands to the side, gripping the very fabric of reality, as the space cracked open, revealing the swirling abyss of the void dimension.

​"All your efforts is futile, once you are caught in my crystal domain, fog and got marked my by light bullets, even if you tear the void, you won’t be able to hide from me." Mirabella’s voice sounded all over the place, echoing from every chess piece and crystal shard, as the domain before Void Calamity cracked like shattered glass, revealing what was waiting ahead.

​"....?!"

​Her eyes widened in absolute shock. Staring down at her was the huge Devil Manifestation—the physical embodiment of the David Manifestation skill—surrounding Mirabella’s tiny, scaled form like a towering, abyssal mecha. But that wasn’t the thing that terrified the primordial King; it was the gigantic bow which the manifestation was holding, its ethereal string drawn back, aiming right at her heart.

​"The Golden Lotus Bow?!! How did a mere human have such artifacts! That’s a peak God class artifact, one step to become a Supreme Class!!" She yelled. Her vast knowledge recognized the weapon’s apocalyptic pedigree just as the devil manifestation released the arrow, a projectile perfectly balanced and filled with overlapping spirit and Abyssal energies.

​’Shit! Even that Devil manifestation is an abyssal skill?! How can a human wield such energy?!!’ She thought, her mind reeling at the impossible synergy of Mirabella’s evolutionary path. She abandoned all arrogance, and activated all her remaining primordial strength, as lightnings dropped from the sky.

​’I no longer care what happens, I will have to use that ability to kill her, even if I have to burn all my energy, I can’t let her live!’

​"I won’t lose to a human!!!" She screamed, igniting her very soul as the arrow smashed right into the center of the domain.

​BOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
