"I'm not giving up that easily!"
Velzard was incredibly relieved that she hadn't impulsively challenged Damien one-on-one.
Otherwise, just his absurd God of the Void would have left her helpless.
"Veldora!!"
Velzard called out to Veldora, who had been spectating since the start.
"Ah! Here, here, here!"
"What's your order, Nee-sama?"
Veldora hurriedly used spatial magic to teleport beside Velzard, his attitude nothing short of utterly submissive.
"Link your magicules with mine."
"I need your power."
Velzard had more or less grasped the essence of God of the Void.
Fighting this divine Ultimate...
In simple terms, it was a battle of endurance to see who would collapse first!
She deployed Lord of Patience, and Damien countered and nullified it.
Doing so might not consume much magicule.
But even small consumption was still consumption!
If that was the case, she'd wage a war of attrition against Damien to see who could outlast whom!
"As expected, it's come to this."
Violet had already simulated the battle's progression, so Damien wasn't surprised by Velzard's choice.
He didn't stop the siblings from linking their magicules.
It was agreed upon from the start.
This battle was two against one.
If Damien wanted to make Velzard submit, he had to force her to unleash her full power... something she hadn't even used against Guy!
"Roar!!!"
Veldora's magicules poured into Velzard, who began to release her own.
The next moment, Velzard, who had appeared as a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl, began to grow taller, transforming into a silver-haired woman in her twenties.
"Her magicules skyrocketed!"
If Velzard's magicules were previously around 80 million...
After absorbing Veldora's power, they exceeded 160 million, and her magicules had also evolved into the divine realm.
And now...
Fully unleashing the True Dragon' power, Velzard's magicules were nearly on par with Damien's.
"How long has it been..."
With a wave of her hand, Velzard stuffed the now-drained Veldora into her alternate dimension.
This scene perfectly illustrated that a battery has no rights.
"This form... how many years has it been since I last showed it?"
Velzard flashed forward, appearing before Damien, and swung a fist: "Now, let your sister teach you a lesson."
"Ultimates are never just a puzzle-solving game between ability users!"
The same Ultimate Skill, in different hands, produced entirely different effects.
Like an esports pro versus a casual player.
Both use the same character, yet the former can crush the latter.
Why?
Because there's an insurmountable gap between individuals!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Facing Velzard's fierce onslaught, Damien witnessed the various techniques she had developed from Lord of Patience.
It was like an ordinary person wielding a divine weapon against a peerless swordsman with an iron blade.
In just one exchange, Velzard identified Damien's flaw.
No combat experience!!
"As expected!"
"You're still far off!"
"You little brat!!!"
In that brief clash, the Void World seemed to undergo countless cycles of creation, regression, collapse, self-destruction, and rebirth.
However, with the aid of Raphael, Lord of Wisdom, combined with God of the Void, Damien held his own against the unleashed Frost Dragon.
"So strong..."
Damien had to admit that if he and Velzard had the same setup, he'd have no chance of winning.
In fact, he'd likely be brutally crushed by her.
"Well then..."
Feeling the gap between himself and a true powerhouse, Damien wasn't discouraged but grew even more excited for the future: "Time to switch, Violet!"
"Understood!"
"Boom!!!"
"What?"
Suddenly, Velzard, in the midst of unleashing her power, was caught off guard by Damien's change in tactics.
Soon, she realized her techniques and attack patterns were being rapidly seen through by Damien.
'Impossible!!'
Velzard's pupils constricted, her heart filled with shock.
She didn't understand.
She couldn't comprehend why Damien had changed so drastically.
It was as if he'd become a different person...
"Thud!!"
In that moment of distraction, Damien found her weakness.
Without hesitation, he seized the opportunity and landed a punch on the vulnerable point in Velzard's defense.
The terrifying power of space-time pierced through the absolute ice crystal of Lord of Patience that Velzard used for protection.
"Ugh..."
After the impact, Velzard quickly retreated and warily eyed 'Damien.'
"What's going on with you?"
If it was just a sudden increase in strength, Velzard wouldn't be so shocked.
What truly stunned her was Damien's fighting style after the shift.
In that moment...
Damien hadn't used God of the Void!
"I admit my combat experience is lacking."
"So don't call me cheap, Velzard."
Damien remained the primary consciousness, but Violet had synchronized with his soul.
Their minds aligned, essentially stacking Violet's computational power, mindset, and experience onto Damien.
With this boost, Damien didn't even need God of the Void.
Using only Lord of Armies he could suppress Velzard, who was only using Lord of Patience.
"A new Ultimate?"
Through Damien's eyes, Velzard seemed to see another figure... Violet.
However, Violet wasn't an outsider or some summoned beast.
She was part of Damien's power.
In terms Velzard could understand, she was the embodiment of Damien's Ultimate power.
"Lord of Armies, Michael!"
"Like your Lord of Patience, it's an Ultimate Skill on the level of the Seven Virtues."
With Violet's enhancement, Damien's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
Confident, composed, even a bit cold.
Just standing in the void exerted immense pressure on Velzard.
If Lord of Patience symbolized the concept of universal entropy reduction...
Then the ability of Lord of Armies, in simple terms, was 'domination.'
