[Your domain has fused. You retain full access to all domain-based powers. However, so does your opponent.]
The notification burned itself into their minds, simple yet absolute.
A deep silence fell for just a mont as the ssage echoed across the battlefield.
Then, chaos resud.
Both Alex and Kaelios knew what this ant.
With both domains fused into one, it wasn't just a battle of strength anymore, it was a balance on the edge of collapse.
If either side made a single misstep, it could an instant death.
There was no room left for recklessness.
And just like that, the [Moon Soldiers] made their move.
Dozens of silver-armored warriors, their bodies glowing with a quiet, cold light, surged toward Alex and Kaelios like a living tide.
The moon's power enhanced them here, boosting their speed, strength, and resilience beyond the norm.
"Watch out!" Kaelios shouted, summoning his [Destiny Swords], the golden blades humming with power as he braced for impact.
But Alex didn't even flinch.
"There's no need," he replied coldly, his voice calm even in the face of the charging enemies.
His arms moved slightly, barely even a motion, and the ground behind him shifted.
In an instant, dozens of [Giant Blood Blades] exploded into the air, each of them ford from his own blood, each pulsing with crimson malice.
With a single thought, they shot forward.
The first few [Moon Soldiers] tried to block the attack, raising shields or countering with lunar blades, but resistance only lasted seconds.
The blades tore through them with rciless precision.
Their bodies were pierced, sliced, and shattered.
Their armor offered no protection against the sheer weight and force behind the attack.
As more blades rained down, the formation collapsed.
The battlefield beca a storm of blood and silver as the soldiers were reduced to broken fragnts.
Alex stood unmoved amidst the aftermath, his eyes locked forward.
His [Blood Arts], among his most powerful weapons, scaled with his strength.
The more powerful he beca, the more terrifying his blood beca, and in this fused domain, his mastery was amplified to a dangerous extre.
Still, he knew this was only the beginning.
"I don't know if I can control the moon in here," Selvaron muttered from the other side of the field, his gaze lifted upward to the sky.
Lunareth stood beside him, her silver eyes narrowed, her wings already unfolding with anticipation.
"It's changed," Selvaron continued, pointing toward the massive crimson moon that hovered above them.
A vertical slit, like an eye, blinked slowly in its center, watching all below with eerie detachnt.
Their domain had not just fused, it had transford.
"You can still use your other abilities, right?" Lunareth asked, her tone sharp, her body already beginning to glow as her weapons erged.
The silver [Moon Gauntlet] ford around her right hand, shimring with ancient power, while her left held the evolved [Moon Sword], glowing softly with celestial light.
"Yes," Selvaron nodded.
"But I need ti. I'll try to bend the moon to our side again."
"Do it fast," Lunareth said before disappearing in a flash of light.
She was on Kaelios before he could speak.
Her blade struck his with a sound like thunder, and her silver gauntlet followed imdiately after, smashing through one of his [Destiny Swords] like it was made of glass.
The second blow hit him directly in the head, and the [God of Destiny] was sent flying, bouncing against the ground and tearing through the grass as he skidded to a stop.
Alex's breath caught.
'Not good,' he thought grimly.
He reacted instantly, summoning [Blood Chains] from the ground around Lunareth, trying to bind her before she could move again.
But she was too fast.
Her body weaved effortlessly through the crimson coils, and before Alex could blink, she was in front of him, her [Moon Sword] already swinging for his neck.
[Alex's Destiny Points: 72/200]
The notification flickered in his mind.
Killing the [Moon Soldiers] had bought him a few more points, but not enough.
If he made a mistake now, it could be fatal.
Especially since Selvaron, calm, quiet Selvaron, was up to sothing.
His eyes hadn't left the crimson moon above.
"Get… OUT!" Alex roared, calling on his [Wings of Hatred], which flared out in a black explosion of energy.
They clashed against Lunareth's blade just in ti, knocking her back.
She landed hard but regained balance imdiately, her eyes cold and focused as ever.
She lunged again, but this ti, Kaelios reappeared, intercepting her just before she reached Alex.
"I feel like I've been pretty useless until now," Kaelios muttered, smiling slightly.
He raised his last remaining [Destiny Sword].
"Ti to fix that."
They clashed again, silver and gold flashing across the field.
Each movent was precise, deadly.
Neither of them held anything back.
And then, at exactly 70 [Destiny Points], Kaelios stopped defending.
He smiled, lifted a hand, and snapped his fingers.
A golden orb materialized in his palm, humming with celestial force.
"Here goes!" he shouted, rearing back and throwing it straight into the sky, directly toward the crimson moon.
FATED CATACLYSM!
The orb streaked upward like a shooting star, disappearing into the eye of the moon.
"Finish the job, kid!" Kaelios shouted at Alex as he resud fighting Lunareth.
"Futile," she hissed, her wings slamming downward as she pushed Kaelios back.
"You think we've lost control? That just made it stronger."
"As long as the moon remains, this domain is ours."
The two gods pushed against each other with winged fury, and Kaelios felt the weight of exhaustion beginning to creep in.
If he died now, with no Destiny Points left, it would be over, not just for him, but for Alex too.
"I won't… ALLOW THAT!" he roared, forcing his wings to flare again, locking himself in a brutal stalemate with Lunareth.
anwhile, Alex was already sprinting forward, his claws glowing, his eyes locked on Selvaron.
But Selvaron was ready.
"Don't try anything," he warned softly, silver energy humming around him.
His pale eyes were locked on the moon, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"You've already lost."
Alex didn't care.
He slashed down with everything he had.
BAM!
A silver wall burst from the ground, and Alex was thrown back violently, tumbling through the dirt before landing hard.
"Have you forgotten?" Selvaron called out.
"This is my domain too."
His hands remained raised toward the moon, and it responded to his will.
The crimson eye pulsed, its glow intensifying, building toward sothing terrifying.
"This is my strongest ability," he announced, his voice growing darker, "and nothing can break the [Moonlight Barrier]."
"Not your blades, not your hatred, not even fate."
The silver shield surrounding him shimred with unbreakable energy.
Every second that passed, he poured more power into the moon above, charging the massive eye with his energy.
It was a strategy designed to guarantee his victory.
With every mont Alex failed to stop him, the end drew closer.
"You think I'm just going to stand here and watch?" Alex growled, blood dripping from his arms as he raised them once more.
Hundreds, no, thousands of [Giant Blood Blades] ford in the air.
And then he sent them.
The sky lit up in crimson storms as the blades slamd against the barrier.
FWISH! FWISH! BAM! BAM!
The land trembled.
Explosions erupted in every direction.
But the barrier didn't even crack.
"Maybe if you controlled the moon, like I do," Selvaron mocked, "you might've had a chance."
"But all you've done is delay your death."
Seconds passed.
"Twenty seconds until my ultimate skill activates," Selvaron said, completely unfazed.
Alex gritted his teeth, sending another wave of blades, another barrage of hatred.
Still nothing.
Ten more seconds. Fifteen.
Kaelios and Lunareth were locked in a whirlwind of combat behind him, light and shadow clashing with every strike.
Alex's mind raced. He had one last trump card, the [Orb of Purity].
It would grant him a three-second shield, but what if the final attack lasted longer?
What if Kaelios died?
What if—
"Five…" Selvaron whispered, the moon swelling above them, the eye fully open and glowing brighter than ever.
"Four…"
Alex looked up. He had to do sothing.
"Three…"
His attacks didn't matter. His blades were aningless now.
"Two…"
There was no more ti. Alex stared at the moon.
"ONE!"
Lunareth broke off from Kaelios, and also looked up at the sa ti as everyone else did.
And in that final second—
"ZERO!" Selvaron shouted, snapping both fingers.
The sky exploded.
MOON ANNIHILATION!
