Duality of Shadows-Chapter 964: Good Question

The queen’s physical form emerged like a sacred vision, radiating a glow that seemed to consume everything around her. Her long, wavy hair cascaded like golden waterfalls, reflecting light with every movement. Her eyes, an intense and vivid gold, carried a magnetism so piercing it felt like they could reach into the soul of anyone who dared meet her gaze.

Two majestic golden wings extended from her back, emanating an aura of supremacy. Her fair and luminous skin further accentuated the golden brilliance enveloping her entire being. Whether it was her face or her physique, she embodied the pinnacle of feminine allure, with graceful curves exuding an irresistible magnetism. Her proud and regal posture amplified her divine presence, while her full, prominent peaks highlighted her imposing figure.

The whale let out a dry snort; it was far earlier than they had hoped. The first direct battle against that figure was unavoidable. And yet, he… instinctively, felt no confidence in victory. Even so, he knew he had to survive—somehow.

The celestial figure gazed coldly down at the whale, letting out a faint snort. At that moment, Alm and Brunos felt all the Qi and cultivation within their bodies completely sealed. Fight? Resist? That seemed like a ridiculous dream for any form of life.

"Do you feel despair? Fear?" Her soft, seductive voice echoed.

She was the supreme ruler, exalted, who, on a whim, chose to crush a pitiful mortal with her own hands. He was already completely subdued by her sheer willpower. If she simply exerted a bit more force, she could utterly destroy that insignificant being.

Yet the whale’s face remained cold and expressionless.

"Good, I’ll deal with you calmly. It’s been a long time since I’ve found something amusing. I’ll make you watch as every person you’ve ever had a connection with, in all your reincarnations, is slowly refined right in front of you..."

She wanted to see shock, astonishment, helplessness, pain, fear, despair on his face… wanted to hear his screams of agony, his roars of anger… wanted to witness the frenzied expression of someone slowly crumbling into a feral state. That was the best entertainment possible. Afterward, she would slowly absorb everything he had created—for herself.

But then, she noticed the whale’s eyes fixed on the void, as if reading something invisible.

[Heaven’s Will Avatar, union of miracles] [Sum of Points from up to 03 miracles]

[Note: One free celestial miracle, at maximum power, available]

The last optional mission had granted them this free use. They had planned to use it differently when they received it, but suddenly, everything changed. Now, an important detail passed before his eyes: *at maximum power.*

Whenever they used miracles, they had to purchase them, and with every use, the cost increased. However, the miracle’s capacity also seemed to evolve. This time, the system was clear: upon choosing a miracle, it would be unleashed at full strength immediately.

Of all the options, only one made sense in front of them: Avatar of Heaven’s Will, union of miracles.

They had acquired this miracle some time ago, along with the Creation Miracle, but had never used it. As soon as they obtained it, they noticed its immense potential. Now, instinctively, they saw it as their only chance. (Chapter 727)

In this context, "Avatar" seemed to mean the physical manifestation of a superior entity. And, in this case, the avatar of Heaven’s Will.

They had already surpassed that level and were now Heaven’s Will itself. But… what would happen if someone, representing Heaven’s Will, could create an avatar?

[Avatar of Heaven’s Will, union of miracles] [Maximum power]

[Use?] [Yes / No]

’We’ll see… accept.’

Suddenly, the queen’s eyes widened.

The whale took a deep breath. Around him, a grayish aura began to circulate and expand. In his eyes, two beacons—one celestial blue and the other black—shone intensely.

At that moment, all the golden light that surrounded the universe was eclipsed.

At the maximum level of that miracle, there was no limit to how many miracles could be combined simultaneously. At the same time, the whale felt the connection to his inner world and the Tree of Chaos in his body; he was then certain it was possible.

"Rebirth… Creation…" the whale murmured dryly before pronouncing: "Awaken."

With his final word, a violent tremor, like the end of the world, shook the universe. The queen felt all the heavenly laws shift in unison. She tried to react, but her golden power was repelled by a force so overwhelming it frightened her.

All living beings turned their eyes to the heavens, where they could see the golden light being pushed back by a grayish glow. It was as if two colossal forces were clashing, neither able to gain an advantage, both perfectly balanced.

On one side of the universe, everything was bathed in a golden light. On the other, everything turned gray and shadowy.

When the tremors stopped, the vision became clear. On the gray side, a colossal tree was revealed. Its size was unbelievable: each of its branches stretched across hundreds of galaxies, while its leaves outshone stars in magnitude.

The whale floated in the air, feeling all that power flowing through him. His physical body was entirely connected to the tree, which had now merged with all the laws of that universe. He had transformed the tree into his avatar, granting him a far greater ability to interact with the world.

He already represented the very will of the heavens; now, it was as if a tiger had grown wings. This allowed him to temporarily wield a much greater power than before, drawing nutrients from the universe itself.

The tree’s appearance wasn’t real—it was like a mirage without physical form. But its power was real. Its energy was enough to match the queen’s. She, however, was stunned by what she witnessed.

"Interesting..." she murmured, feeling for the first time the presence of someone truly at her level.

She looked around. The two powers dominated the universe. The heavenly laws had become the tree’s energy source, severing the connection to anything else within the universe. Only these two forces could exist now. The meaning of this... made her eyes gleam.

She almost let a smile slip in her excitement. Not only would all of this become hers, but now, another immense opportunity had arisen.

Her eyes sparkled, and she gave a slight wave of her hand. The whale watched as a golden crown slowly appeared above her head. The crown shone like a sun—it was clearly an item of primordial chaos.

"This is the Celestial Sovereign’s Crown, a gift I claimed right after my ascension. A power I completely dominate," she said, moving her fingers subtly and beating her golden wings. "You, relying on something borrowed and temporary, really plan to keep using these tricks until the end? Watch what true strength looks like."

She waved again, and her body began to pulse, releasing all of her cultivation.

The whale snorted. Clearly, he wasn’t in a position to deal with her. His strength was, in fact, temporary and canceled out part of the queen’s power, but she still had all her cultivation and other advantages at her disposal.

Even understanding her hidden intentions, he didn’t have many options. He could only go all in. So, he activated all of his physical cultivation. Liumi appeared in his hands, and his other two weapons were ready to be used.

She saw this and gestured: "Come."

*RUMBLE!*

The whale concentrated all his energy into his spear and charged at the queen like a devastating tornado.

The feminine figure watched the attack with disdain, her eyes glowing with coldness. To her, it was obvious he was just digging his own grave.

Although the tree and his power were abnormally strong and nullified much of the golden energy, it was still her technique, based on the laws of the crown. It didn’t even represent the crown’s true power, much less her own. The idea that he could touch her body was simply laughable.

"You want to touch me? A grotesque figure like you?"

She mocked him and remained motionless as the violent attack approached, not even lifting a hand, just staring. Then, she allowed the tip of the spear to come close to her chest.

*BOOM!*

The spear struck the space near her and stopped. The entire world shook under the impact.

Space shattered, and fragments of space-time scattered across the universe. However, the queen didn’t move from her spot, and her head only tilted back slightly.

A faint layer of golden light emanated from the crown, preventing the spear from reaching her.

"Is that all?" she murmured coldly, her expression unchanged. It was as if a powerless child had attacked her with a fragile twig. Her eyes met the whale’s, carrying the same disdain one would have when watching a dying insect. "Do you realize how laughable you are?"

But the whale’s face didn’t show the shock or panic she expected. Instead, his lips stretched into a sinister smile.

"Good question."

*BOOM!!!*

Suddenly, an unimaginable power erupted, stronger than before. An impossible energy surged from the whale’s entire body and soul.

Then, the spear shot forward, exploding directly into her chest!

The golden light that surrounded the queen was pierced with ease. Her crown and all her cultivation instinctively activated in defense.

**KABOOM!**

The impact was deafening, but the spear couldn’t penetrate the queen’s body. It was like hitting an impenetrable steel wall, and the weapon became covered in cracks.

However, the impact was enough to hurl her like a meteor.

She was violently thrown, spinning through the air at a speed that surpassed divine-level spatial laws.

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...*

Space shattered violently as she tore through countless planets, reducing them to dust. In seconds, she had pierced through a dozen galaxies, turning everything into destruction.

The queen tore through more than half the universe like a kite with its string cut, until she finally stopped.
