CRASH!

The Miasmic Beetle Queen flashed directly towards me. Even with the aid of Aquamarine merging with my own black exoskeleton and being reinforced several times through [Harden], the enormous strength of this new foe was incredible.

"Ngh?!"

Although I had initially believed my armor was able to withstand the power of the Queen, the armor quickly gained several cracks, thankfully not shattering. But the powerful strength she had became a shockwave, damaging my internal body.

CRAAAASH!

I felt my organs bursting as I vomited a mouthful of blood. My insides were torn apart by the small shockwave alone, and I even felt dizzy. However, a smile surged in my lips as I grabbed the Queen's arm the moment she hit me.

I activated several Daos in unison, the Dao of Gates, the Dao of Fortune, the Dao of Defiance, the Dao of Demise, and the Divine Authorities of Humility and Gluttony, converging all the powerful Auras into a single one that grew denser and multicolored, enhancing my capabilities.

"I got you at point blank! [Heaven's Gate Judgement]!"

TRUUUUMMMMMM…!

Suddenly, enormous Gates that defied the laws of this world opened above us, as an enormous purifying light emerged before the Queen! Her black eyes suddenly grew filled with fear!

"T-This is…? How come you can conjure such a powerful Spell while being such a tiny and weak butterfly?!" She asked in shock, a few seconds too late to receive an answer.

FLAAAASSSSSSHHHHHH!!!

A gigantic flash of bright holy light impacted the two of us directly, spreading an enormous, gargantuan shockwave that shook the caves entirely. The enormous hall was resistant enough to take this gigantic explosion capable of blowing up Goliath Beetles from the inside out with ease.

BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

"GUUUAAGGGH…!"

The scream of the Queen echoed across the gigantic underground halls, as she was unable to completely evade the blow, the light pierced her body, weakening her but…!

As the smoke dissipated, she stood there, gasping for air. Part of her body looked charred by the holy light. Taking upon the Miasma and Chaos element made her incredibly weak to Purification-type Skills, and [Heaven's Gate Judgement] was the ultimate Skill I've built combining many ones. A trump card against enemies that use similar powers than I do.

"Hahhh… Y-Youuu…"

However, she was still alive. Her HP had barely gone down by -15%, but she looked exhausted. She had used the power of the Cosmic Stone to cover her body and protect herself. But that wasn't enough, as she desperately cut off the arm I was grabbing to escape the enormous light and receive the least damage possible.

I looked at the charred arm of hers, as I ate it with my butterfly jaws. My body quickly began to shapeshift monstrously, as several bug-like legs grew out of it, my body became long, as I resembled a winged centipede. Combining the [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Evil Eyes of Malice: Lv4] [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Primordial Chaos Wings: Lv3] [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Chaotic Claws of Demise: Lv3] and [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Exoskeleton Armor of Chaos: Lv3] Skills together made me look like an utter monstrosity, but that'll do.

This body, despite how monstrous it looked, was perfectly efficient to fight! I grew many legs capable of running faster while the wings give me quick boosts of speed and even lift me off the air. Jaws need to be big to be more impactful, and several layers of exoskeleton merged with Aquamarine's Armor Embodiment made me resemble a black and silver winged centipede.

"What with such a monstrous form?!" She asked. "Getting bigger won't simply…!"

"Shut up and fight!" I roared, coating my body with the various Auras of Daos and Divine Authorities, alongside the new Skills I had recently unlocked, making my very presence be entrancingly terrifying for her!

CRAAAASSSH!

My enormous jaws reached her, as she quickly flew away, evading my powerful blow as the ground below my jaws shattered into pieces, cracks emerging all round, making the caves fall apart even more than before.

RUMBLE!

"HAH!"

The Queen appeared behind me, as her hands were coated with bright starlight, as she moved at sonic speed, unleashing several blows into my back!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

My armor cracked, shattering into pieces. However, a smile surged in my jaws, as I quickly broke down the segments, and then used [Explosive Projectile Body] after infusing as much [Purification] activations as I could into them, making them into holy light bombs!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!!!

"Ungh…?!"

The Queen had terrible experience at fighting and was just brute forcing her way into defeating me, having many openings and ways for me to surprise her! Ariant and Eriant quickly conjured a spell they prepared seconds ago, touching the ground, and spreading thousands of spiritual runes over the floor!

FLUOOOOSSSSHHH!

"Divine Earth Spirit Summon: [Chains of Terra]!"

CRAAAASSSH!

From the ground, enormous strong metallic chains emerged. The Queen tried to fend them off with her Cosmic Armor, but she wasn't able to! The powerful divine chains reached her body, chaining her down in place, right before Fiere's powerful blow was ready.

She loaded over thirty arrows into her Magic Bow, unleashing a powerful, Blazing Arrow Technique as each Arrow converged together into an enormous mass of flames and was fired straight towards the Queen!

The arrows shaped themselves into a deadly Hydra made of flames, which roared furiously impacting the Queen but not exploding, but capturing her and covering her on flames!

"ROOOARRR!"

"GAAAH…!"

The Queen cried in agony as the enormous blazing hydras bit through her entire body with their deadly jaws, stopping her in place and making her grit her jaws in fury, her body quickly blazing in flames!

Meanwhile, my black exoskeleton body slowly began to turn silver, completely silver as I used Divine Element Embodiment combined with the Purification Skill, making so my body's embodiment is… Holy Light!

FLAAAASH!

"W-What?!"

The Queen looked at me in disbelief.

Simply using Chaos all the time won't cut it in a world so vast and mysterious. I've also gotta master its complete opposite if I want to adapt to every situation!

"[Heaven's Gate Judgement]!"
