'I'm tired. Let it all end.'
Velzard was deeply shaken and took the initiative to sever her magical connection with Veldora.
She even returned the Ultimate powers she had taken from Damien.
These actions clearly signaled her decision.
She had surrendered.
"Feeling despair already?"
Just as Velzard wallowed in her defeat, Damien's voice snapped her out of her melancholy.
"The legendary Frost Dragon, is this all you've got?"
Damien leaned down, as if swapping roles with Velzard from earlier.
"What else is there?"
Velzard had already felt the gap between herself and Damien.
With Violet's enhancement, Damien's mastery of God of the Void was nothing short of divine.
Casually crafting pocket universes and wielding the authority of creation and destruction.
In Velzard's mind, aside from Veldanava, no one could stand against him!
"Such a pity. I wanted to show you more."
"But your vision is so narrow, it's truly disappointing."
Damien's provocative words instantly sparked shame and anger in the sulking Velzard: "What do you mean? Are you saying this isn't even your full power?"
"Of course!"
As Damien spoke, boundless rainbow light bloomed behind him... the Rings of Divinity he had shown Velzard earlier.
"Those..."
Even now, Velzard couldn't figure out what those halos were.
What did they do?
Were they just for show?
"Watch closely."
Without keeping Velzard waiting long, Damien raised his other dragon claw.
"Crack!"
A sharp sound rang out as one Ring of Divinity shattered.
The next moment, an endless surge of law-based power flowed into Damien's body, and on his empty claw, he created a Nihil World nearly as vast as the Void World.
The so-called Nihil World was a primal world containing nothing but space-time and dark matter.
"This!!"
Velzard vaguely guessed something, staring in disbelief at Damien's dragon god form, her gaze involuntarily shifting to his back.
"One, two, three..."
Nine... there were still nine Rings of Divinity behind Damien!!
"It seems you understand."
With a calm tone, Damien uttered words that shattered Velzard's worldview: "Each of these Rings of Divinity stores the creation power I can only unleash by expending all my magicules!"
Using an Ultimate Skill wasn't without cost.
On the contrary, Ultimate Skills consumed a tremendous amount of magic.
Without vast magicules and rapid recovery, it was nearly impossible to fully wield an Ultimate's power.
But now, Damien presented Velzard with a brutal reality.
He had pre-stored his power... ten full portions of creation energy.
With such immense energy, let alone defeating one Velzard, even four, five, or seven more would face certain death!
"The gap..."
Velzard sighed, "Is it really this vast?"
This battle had completely shattered Velzard's pride, making her realize her own insignificance and ignorance.
If Damien went all out, even her elder brother, the original Star King Dragon, might not emerge unscathed.
"I've lost."
"Kill me or spare me, do as you please."
Velzard wasn't a sore loser.
Just as she dominated Veldora and expected her weaker brother to obey, she would follow Veldanava's orders and bow to Guy, whom she couldn't defeat.
And now, Damien had crushed her body and spirit with overwhelming force.
Undoubtedly, as the victor, Damien had the right to decide her fate.
"Do you know why I showed you all this?"
"Hm?"
Velzard looked puzzled, meeting Damien's dragon eyes.
"You've been stagnant for a long time, haven't you, Velzard-nee?"
"Through our fight, I can feel your desire to grow stronger."
No longer fixating on formalities, Velzard had lived for countless eons.
Whether by seniority or blood ties, calling her 'sister' wasn't a loss for Damien.
"And..."
Damien smiled, "How long has it been since you unleashed your power so freely, like just now?"
"Heh..."
"Completely seen through, huh."
Velzard wasn't angry. She was indeed a Frost Dragon craving strength and battle.
But her power was far too inferior to Damien's.
"You're the same, aren't you..."
Velzard could see Damien's essence too... he was also seeking greater power: "Sorry for not satisfying you, lil bro. I'm quite the failure as a big sister."
"Then work hard to get stronger!"
On Damien's dragon form, a strange phenomenon emerged once more.
Crimson patterns, like cracks, spread across his two dragon claws, extending to his shoulders.
Yet these blood-red patterns didn't diminish the dragon god's majesty; instead, they added a touch of ferocity and savagery.
"There's more?!"
Velzard was utterly speechless. She had thought God of the Void with Violet's enhancement was already invincible.
But Damien's dragon god form made her realize how shallow her perspective was.
And it wasn't over.
The Rings of Divinity that followed completely upended her understanding, plunging her into despair.
As for these Command Seals...
What could Velzard even say?
"You're practically a monster!"
"What are these abilities?"
Incomprehensible, unanalyzable... Velzard couldn't even sense a threat from this power.
How was that possible?
'Another power beyond specification, like the Rings of Divinity?'
That was the only possibility she could think of, and unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked outright: "Where did you get these bizarre abilities?"
"I call them Special Skills."
"Special Skills?"
"Stardusts?"
Velzard was shocked, "These abilities are on the same level as Stardusts?!"
"Yeah."
Damien admitted, "Just as you thought."
"I possess multiple powers comparable to Stardusts."
Magicule Solidification, Rings of Divinity, Command Seals... they were like Stardusts, abilities that grew stronger with Damien's growth.
They had no specific rank; in fact, they weren't even skills.
If forced to describe them, Damien felt one term fit perfectly: 'Worldview'!
