Alt Eva and Eva were startled by this result, gazing at Shuangtian with a hint of awe and surprise. She had actually managed to send Alt Draco flying, something which Eva herself found hard to do at the same power level!
Well, the truth was more that Draco was not familiar with Shuangtian like the way he was with Eva. Between Draco and Eva, there were no boundaries or barriers, both were one and the same. They could predict EVERYTHING the other would do without an error margin, so it was natural that Eva would not be able to pull this type of surprise reversal.
Shuangtian herself came down from her battle rage, shocked that she had actually achieved this. For her, this was like a child suddenly beating up a powerful adult, something she thought was frankly impossible.
Alt Draco himself was dumbfounded as he lay in a human shaped crater formed from his own outline. He shook his head and rushed out of the hole and stretched his body, marveling at the damage Shuangtian could do at her level.
“Not bad. Let’s continue.” Alt Draco said with a sudden smile, and then disappeared from his position.
Shuangtian’s face changed as she exploded with fiery energy, creating a sort of Flame domain around her body. However, this was futile as Alt Draco simply created a Destruction barrier to ward off the fire and placed his hands on the girl’s back.
BANG!
Immediately, the lovely lady was sent flying down, also crashing into the surface of the moon face first. However, unlike Alt Draco, she didn’t dig in deep and she took almost no damage due to her insane level of defense, courtesy of the Undying King Inheritance.
Shuangtian got to her feet and saw a blue outline around Alt Draco, which was how he had dealt with her. He smiled and raised both arms to his side and shouted.
“ALMIGHTY PUSH!”
Immediately, Shuangtian felt as if she had been hit by three planetary sized trains. No, it was even more apt to say that she was simply banned from staying where she was, as if the universe itself dragged her away from that spot and sent her flying.
She flew so fast that she crashed into Eva’s mental dome, but failed to dent it. Shuangtian then fell down to the moon’s surface where she struggled to get up as she coughed a mouthful of blood.
Everything before could be ignored, but not a full power attack like that. Alt Draco himself grimaced and smacked his own head.
“Fuck, those memories got me thinking I was actually at 100%. I wasted almost 80% of my Bloodline Energy on just that one move!”
It had to be said, calculating moves by Bloodline Energy was a thing of the past for the current Draco and Eva. Now, they calculated things solely based on efficiency and output, not input.
Input was infinite, so what was the point of calculating that?
Shuangtian manged to drag herself up and glared at Draco with indignation. How could he be so strong? Just what kind of attack was that?!
However, her Undying King Inheritance began working and restored her to full power in milliseconds. Shangtian had already been a cockroach with his relatively shitty ability, so it was only natural that Shuangtian was far more broken in this regard.
Draco’s eyes flashed. He could obviously attack Pangu’s weakness which was his mind, but that would completely sidestep the point of this spar. Eva had used her abilities to test and train Shuangtian, something that the Alt Evil Duo had learned from her memories.
There was nothing for him to gain by going against that, so he stuck to more conventional fighting methods that could be blocked/healed by Shuangtian.
Immediately, he waved a hand and summoned a Black Dragon from the portal using the Advanced Manifestation Technique. It roared and then hovered beside Draco, ready to fight on his behalf.
Shuangtian’s expression changed and she also cried out and burned her Bloodline Energy. However, unlike Draco and Eva who trained extensively to be able to master their summons on floors 30-40 of the Tower of Babylon, she could only squeeze out a single hand before she burned out.
Back when Draco had been at 99%, he could keep the Black Dragon out for about 10-30 mins depending on intensity. 10 mins in the real world due to lack of energy and 30 mins in game when supported by Worldly Energy.
This time would reduce if the Black Dragon used any Destruction abilities or special feats. So Draco just pointed and sicced it on Shuangtian, letting her fight it head on.
Poor Shuangtian could only roar with indignation and try to fight back, which was futile in the end. Her strength was great, but fighting a Black Dragon head on was only possible if she could also summon the exact giant golem that the Pangu Lineage had used in China.
That was her version of the Black Dragon, and it was crucial to maximizing her power. Shangtian had only been able to do that partly, transforming himself, and he even had to rely on the AI to help him when he became an NPC.
Shuangtian’s eyes became crazy as she summoned her Abyss Golem which was formed with Shangtian’s soul as the base. The Abyss Golem reached out a hand and caught one of the Black Dragon’s incoming claws.
Alt Draco and the Black Dragon’s eyes dilated when they felt the Abyss Energy rushing into their body, aiming to corrode them into an abyssal lifeform. They immediately responded by countering with Destruction Energy, which expunged the invading abyss energy and also allowed the Black Dragon to knockback the Abyss Golem.
Even the expression of current Eva, who was casually watching from the side, changed slightly. Using Abyss Energy she created to pollute Shangtian in that golem meant that it wasn’t something that exactly cost Shuangtian Bloodline Energy to use.
The Abyss Energy would provide for itself, so she only had to provide for the golem, which meant she had an advantage over Alt Draco in this regard. The more Destruction Energy the Black Dragon used to fend off Abyss Energy, the shorter its lifespan.
This was proven as the battle went on and the Black Dragon was repeatedly suppressed. While it was not exactly weaker than the golem, the source of its energy was Alt Draco at 99% wheras the golem’s source of Abyss Energy came from 100% Eva.
The quality and level of the energy was vastly different, like mud and tar.
Eventually, the Black Dragon could only roar with indignation and be dragged back into the portal from whence it came, while Alt Draco’s face paled greatly. He could no longer fly above loftily until his Bloodline Energy recharged, even though it would only take a few second at best.
However, this was enough time for Shuangtian to enter her powered up state and rush over, aiming to end the battle. Still, Alt Draco was not fazed, easily fending off her attacks by using skill rather than brute force like before.
My Brother in Christ, this was the man who had topped the whole world in the previous timeline with skill and techniques in combat, and that was without a bloodline, just Control. With Control at Tier 5 for him, it was easy enough to deal with the inexperienced Shuangtian who was swinging her weapons like baseball bats.
Alt Draco eventually recovered his Bloodline Energy and punched forward with a smile. Behind his fist was a the raw energy of Hell, which was colored blood red. It collided with Shaungtian’s face and set her jaw bouncing about in her head as she flew backwards.
Alt Draco didn’t stop there but followed up by teleporting beside her while she was horizontally flying back, using his knee covered in the same powered up Hell Energy to smash her back, exactly on her spine and then his elbow to smash her gut, sending her crashing into the ground below.
Without stopping he rained down hundreds of punches so fast that his arms blurred and formed afterimages of themselves, making it seem like he had 100 hands around his body.
BOOM!
POW!
BANG!
The sheer force of the blows caused the entire moon to quake and shake, and chunks of it broke off and began to float in space. Eva just watched this with an amused smile while Alt Eva’s expression kept changing due to the effects of the battle.
Shuangtian was pinned down by Alt Draco and only able to defend herself. However, she still felt the pain of the blows which caused her to fall into her memories of her life up until this point.
Every day was pain.
Pain for breakfast, pain for lunch and pain for fucking supper!
Pain, pain, pain!!
Even though she had grown numb to it over the years, that did not mean that she had not felt it. It merely meant that she had found a way to tolerate it without breaking down, but it was something that haunted her.
These last few hours were the best parts of her life as she had been freed from the pain and was experiencing what it was like to be healthy and powerful. Now, just as she was in bliss, the familiar pain returned, like an old flame who wanted to ruin your current relationship by leveraging on your past feelings.
This filled with her with sadness and rage. Was it her destiny to always be embroiled in a battle with agony and suffering? Couldn’t she just break away and become something above pain, something that even pain feared to cross?
These thoughts caused her eyes to become bloodshot, and Shuangtian felt her blood begin to boil. Rage coursed through her body and caused her blood to circulate faster and faster until it reached a breaking point and she exploded with brown energy.
The explosion caused Alt Draco to stop and jump back, his expression serious as he watched the brown light billow and expand crazily, swallowing the pit where he punched Shuangtian into.
Eventually, her tall and voluptuous body rose from the pit, covering in brown light. When the light receded, it revealed the same Shuangtian, but she was slightly different.
She wore a set of brocade robes made for women that was quite tight and revealing, embellished with gold lining and the design of a five clawed Divine Dragon. Her hair was tied up with exotic jade hairpins and her bearing was filled with majesty and oppression.
Alt Draco and Alt Eva were shocked by this familiar feeling by current Eva was only somewhat moved, raising her eyebrow.
“Oh? This girl was pushed so far that she unlocked her General Aspect on her own.” Eva commented with amusement.
The General Aspect was the amalgamation of their full power when they were still below 100% and was like a limit break of sorts. It allowed them to temporarily transform into their 100% bloodline state, though they had been unaware of that at the time.
Eva should be excited for Shuangtian, yet she hardly moved. It was because the General Aspect was actually useless from her point of view. It came with a very short time limit, only enough for maybe one attack and each second of use caused permanent irreversible damage to one’s foundation that could only be repaired when you reached 100%.
Eva counted herself and Draco lucky to have never been pushed into using that often, only doing so for practice reasons and once to gain access to their Divine Classes back then. Shuangtian herself had already wasted so many seconds in this form needlessly posing and looking cool, which further made Eva roll her eyes.
Shuangtian opened her eyes and shot a right golden glow from them as she waved her hand majestically and spoke.
“I am the Lord of the World, and the Pinnacle of Heaven. I am the purest of the three and the leader of the Heavenly Court. You will know me as the Jade Empress, Shuangtian!”
Saying this, she gently pushed her hand forward, which formed a giant hand made of golden light that rushed at Alt Draco.
Alt Draco roared with fear and exploded once more with his full power.
“ALMIGHTY PUSSSHH!!!”
