This differed slightly from the original Lord of Justice, Michael.
The domination of Violet's Lord of Armies was domination over all things.
Matter, energy, elements, rules...
Even more, Lord of Armies could dominate others' Ultimate Skills.
Of course, this wasn't easy.
To fully harness Lord of Armies' power required immense computational ability... something impossible without it.
Fortunately, Damien's Violet possessed the highest domination capacity in the entire Cardinal World!
Her compatibility with Lord of Armies, Michael, was extraordinary.
"Soul splitting..."
Velzard wasn't surprised by Violet's existence.
In essence, True Dragon like them were also fragments split from Veldanava's soul.
But compared to True Dragon, the bond between Damien and Violet was even closer.
"However..."
Suddenly, Velzard revealed a sly smile: "You shouldn't have used another Ultimate in front of me!"
[Ultimate Skill: Lord of Envy]
[Degradation Absorption]
An invisible force instantly enveloped Damien.
"Here it comes?"
Damien tried to block it with magicules, but it was futile.
Lord of Envy, one of the Seven Sins.
Its ability was to degrade others' skills and magicules, absorbing the difference to enhance itself.
In other words, it was a thoroughly cheating Ultimate ability.
[Lord of Armies, Michael]
Degraded: High-tier Ultimate → Mid-tier Ultimate
[Lord of Wisdom, Uriel]
Degraded: High-tier Ultimate → Mid-tier Ultimate
"Hm?"
As she felt the power seized from Damien, Velzard paused, then broke into a wildly ecstatic grin: "There's more?!"
"You actually have three Ultimate Skills!!"
Incredulous, Velzard had never encountered someone like Damien: "Michael, Uriel, and both at the Seven Virtues level!"
Including God of the Void, he possessed three Ultimates simultaneously.
Damien's potential was the most outrageous Velzard had ever seen.
"Three?"
Damien caught the flaw in Velzard's words: 'Why does she think I only have three skills?'
'Right, God of Chaos... she didn't detect its existence!'
Soon, Damien understood Velzard's situation.
Lord of Envy had the powerful ability to degrade others' skills and siphon that power.
This degradation didn't turn Ultimate Skills into Unique Skills.
Instead, it weakened them based on their inherent strength.
High-tier became mid-tier, mid-tier became low-tier.
As for low-tier...
Once Lord of Envy stole their power, the opponent would lose their Ultimate, regressing it to its original Unique Skill.
Worse, this degradation caused significant harm to Demon Lords.
The most direct effect was a massive loss of magicules.
However, God of the Void and God of Chaos were transcendent existences beyond Ultimates.
Velzard couldn't affect God of the Void with Lord of Envy.
As for God of Chaos...
Since Damien had never used it, Velzard was unaware of its existence, and Lord of Envy couldn't detect it either.
That's why Velzard thought Damien only had three Ultimate Skills.
'Violet, what's the limit of the Seven Sins?'
'It can mutually affect skills of the same tier, but its effect is poor against transcendent (top-tier) Ultimate powers.'
In other words, even Lord of Pride would face significant resistance against transcendent Ultimates.
"Your Lord of Envy is indeed strong."
"But it seems you can't do much about my God of the Void."
Damien's taunt left Velzard displeased.
She had grown stronger.
By plundering two tiers' worth of Ultimate power from Damien...
If you checked Velzard's stats now, her magicules had risen from 160 million to 200 million, while Damien's dropped to around 210 million.
Moreover, Velzard gained two mid-tier Ultimates.
Michael and Uriel.
Their effects were degraded, but in Velzard's hands, they could still unleash power far beyond their tier.
Lord of Patience (high-tier), Lord of Envy (high-tier), Lord of Armies (mid-tier), Lord of Wisdom (mid-tier)!
Plus nearly 100 million magicules from Veldora.
Velzard had never felt in such peak condition.
Right now, she could defeat even a full-powered Guy!
"..."
Seeing Velzard's excitement, Damien said nothing, only smiling silently.
"You won't be smiling for long."
Velzard huffed, "You little brat, it's not too late to beg for mercy. Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
"So..."
Damien cut off her confident speech: "Is this your peak condition?"
"What?"
"I mean..."
"If you can still get stronger, I can wait a bit longer."
"..."
Velzard's brows furrowed deeply, extremely displeased with Damien's attitude: "You deliberately let me get stronger?"
"Yeah."
Damien grinned, "Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be convinced."
"Like your fight with Guy before, both sides held back, fighting for three days and nights with no winner."
"That's why I'm asking if you've reached your peak."
Undoubtedly, after using Lord of Envy to absorb two of Damien's Ultimate powers, Velzard had reached her current limit.
But!
Velzard could actually get stronger!
"Right, we're True Dragon."
Damien raised his hand, "Velzard-nee, can I see your dragon form?"
"You little brat!!"
Velzard was genuinely amused by Damien's audacity.
Time and again...
His attitude, like an adult humoring a child, nearly drove Velzard to unleash her full fury.
"Of course, I'll dragonize too, so don't worry."
Damien knew why Velzard fought in human form.
She didn't want an unfair victory.
"Boom!!!"
As Damien's words fell, Velzard fully unleashed her power.
Her human form radiated dazzling light.
The radiance pierced through time and space, as if illuminating the deepest darkness of the universe.
