The power unleashed by the abyssal crystals transford into an uncontrollable force, enveloping Alm and Bruno in a spiral of excruciating pain. Their ridians and muscles swelled, a sensation of unbearable pressure growing inside them as if their bodies were about to explode at any mont.
Despite the agony, they remained extrely focused and concentrated. Their bodies trembled, muscles writhing, and veins bulging through the skin, tense to the point of becoming visible even under the thick layer of fat. Muffled explosions echoed from their bodies, and blood began to spread across the room.
Death was approaching as a tangible presence they hadn’t felt in so ti was still present. The chance of victory was practically nonexistent as the power continued to grow in an unstoppable manner. Their minds began to darken rapidly, but amid the agony, their souls radiated deep concentration and willpower.
Inside the space where the only abyssal crystal they used was located, a golden thread radiated from the crystal—a subtle manifestation of the queen’s will. Amid the excruciating pain, their determination remained unshaken, refusing to succumb to that will. The fervent hatred within them turned into a fla that kept them alive, and their will was no weaker than that simple golden will.
In the room, Ruri imdiately opened her eyes upon seeing that bloody scene before her. Her master seed to be entering a grueso self-destruction. All clothes, skin, muscles, everything began to burst into blood before her eyes.
Even she could feel death getting closer to them. Anguish took hold, but she had no strength to help. Any movent could interfere and be the trigger for their death; thus, Ruri simply watched with her eyes and face completely twisted.
Minutes passed, and they were practically at their last breaths. Around them in the room, it seed like all the blood and a large amount of flesh had been expelled from their bodies. Even with their will not yielding, this mortal body could no longer endure it. In this hopeless mont, all their bloodline was activated, giving them a final desperate gasp.
Even though any chance of victory didn’t seem impossible, they understood what their most powerful weapon was to combat it. Despite their soul powers being complete opposites and appearing as two different individuals, they were not.
All knowledge, wills, and abilities that one possessed, the other shared as well. This weapon was then pushed to its limit.
Bruno, alone, controlled the last vestige of energy coming from a single drop of bloodline, keeping his body alive. Then, his entire soul was pushed to the limit. The uncontrolled power emanating from inside the crystal was purely Yin, and he was the Yang. However, it couldn’t easily devour him. Alm was the expert in this, but Bruno was not far behind in skill. He managed to ticulously balance a part of the Yin with his Yang, buying so ti.
During it, Alm focused entirely on analyzing this bizarre occurrence. This power couldn’t have co out of nowhere; it was coming from sowhere. With the ti bought by Bruno, using all his Yin soul, he managed to sense the true cause.
’All this energy is resonating with the black towers. It is feeding on the towers’ power to grow stronger!’
Sothing much larger than they expected was happening on that ascending planet. The queen’s will was present, so sothing related to her was the cause of this strange mutation. Those towers obviously had sothing to do with it.
’Use everything we have in the new spatial technique! That way, the connection will be severed!’ exclaid Alm.
There was not even ten percent of their QI left. And to completely close the connection from the external world to space, that was not enough. But neither of them hesitated; if there was no QI, the fuel would be the power of their divine souls.
Their consciousness began to cloud rapidly as the entire separated space vibrated violently. Then, a sound reminiscent of glass breaking echoed only between them, and both of their souls were seriously damaged.
But... finally, the external connection feeding that power was severed.
They stopped very close to their consciousness fading away. That power now finally stopped growing, but even though they managed to halt its growth, its level was already too high to be overco.
Quickly, the entire separated space began to show cracks.
’Our bodies will collapse... in at most five minutes... the drop of blood is losing its energy. What do we have left to use?’ Bruno said ntally, with a broken and almost powerless voice.
Bruno was the most affected. Almost all of his Yang Soul was corrupted or devoured by that power. Alm was slightly better, but it didn’t change much.
’The main blood rune has the sa type of laws, so it won’t be of any use,’ Alm thought in a hurry, feeling Bruno’s intentions clearly.
Bruno was clearly calculating how much soul power he had left. And Alm understood that if Bruno burned all his Yang Soul, it would elevate his level several tis. That Yin power would be suppressed on a large scale with no chance... but Bruno would cease to exist.
As for him, having a Yin soul, it was very similar to that power; even if he tried sothing similar, he wouldn’t achieve the sa result. Bruno was the only one with this weapon.
At this mont, when Alm couldn’t think of a solution, he felt a warmth being transferred to his almost completely destroyed ridians. It was a gentle but very weak QI. He realized that the array was forcibly transferring sothing to them... it was Ruri’s QI.
Alm felt that she had been looking at them for quite so ti, but what could the power of soone with her cultivation do? Well... they could use the ntal power and seal the separated space with it. But that would only buy a few extra seconds at most; it was useless. The most impressive part was how Ruri managed to do it.
Alm then heard Bruno sigh ntally... he already seed to accept his fate.
Alm stretched his mind to the limit, trying to find so solution... but there was no clear way out. ’If there wasn’t sothing clear, then there must be sothing hidden.’ Alm thought frantically.
’The system should know about all this... but it didn’t give us anything that could solve it...’
Then sothing ca to mind. ’Essential Chest... Emperor’s Dominion Technique that ca inside that box...’
Obviously, he hadn’t forgotten about this technique and had already thought about it before. Alm studied this technique together with Bruno, and he was sure there was nothing in it that could help in this situation.
’It’s just a technique that amplifies your will by affecting people... but it ca from the essential chest.’
Alm sighed deeply; Bruno was already focused on his soul. In at most five seconds, he would act for the last ti and cease to exist... he had to try sothing.
One might think that Alm would love this chance to get rid of Bruno. However, that wasn’t the case. That’s because without Bruno, the Yang part of the soul, Alm would be affected forever. Everything would beco many tis more difficult, and he would never get as strong as he could. Simply put, taking revenge against the queen without his other half of the soul, Bruno’s soul, would only be a dream.
Even though he hated Bruno, he was still himself. Everything Bruno thought and did, he also had those sa impulses. The only difference was that he hid all of that and preferred to act differently.
Alm then opened the eyes of the body, and his eyes t with Ruri’s, who looked extrely worried.
In the next mont, he used the array. And all of Ruri’s QI was imdiately transferred, making her bravely struggle not to faint. At the last mont, she jumped from the bed and clung to their chest and then fainted from exhaustion.
They no longer had any QI available, so Alm took all the little that Ruri had. Within the separated space, the one created with the new spatial technique, Alm’s dark soul silently invaded. Bruno, focused, imdiately opened his eyes, bewildered, not knowing what Alm was planning.
Suddenly, Alm’s eyes changed as a vast world seed to be hidden in the depths of his twilight blue eyes. The space around him trembled, and a will coming from a divine emperor covered the entire small world. Even the Yin was covered and montarily suppressed.
Alm didn’t have any other ideas, so he simply tried to use that skill he got from the Essential Box: dium Emperor’s Domination Technique. (Check Chapter 82 for details if you don’t rember.)
*CRACK!!!*
The furious Yin power trembled, and that world fragnted, almost completely exploding. That Spatial Technique was good, but it still had limitations.
Alm snorted without much surprise; it was useless as expected. But in the next second, a new fluctuation was felt by him.
Infinite runes from the laws of space covered the entire place, suddenly lighting up. These runes were the foundation of the technique they had to create with their own QI for the inventory to be ford, the Devouring God Spatial Technique. (Check Chapter 81/82 for details of this skill if you don’t rember.)
Then, a bluish-gray erged from within those runes, shining more brightly with each passing second.
Alm watched in astonishnt and quickly realized that peculiarity. ’This... this is the power of the Emperor’s Dominion Skill... it is resonating with these runes...’
Imdiately, Bruno entered the space with his mind and stood beside Alm. Bruno, upon seeing that, also whispered in astonishnt. ’The furious power that was killing us... got completely subdued... for real?’
Alm then had a sudden enlightennt. ’Devouring God Spatial Technique... This is the technique that we used to create this new ’inventory’ of ours... and... the Emperor’s Domination Skill... Am I wrong, or did these two abilities seem to have fused together?’
Bruno nodded, watching all that Yin QI silently returning inside the abyssal crystal. ’The system gave us this seemingly useless Domination technique... but it was called essential.’
Well, it wasn’t the skill that had the word ’essential’ in the na. Instead, it was the chest’s na: ’Essential’ Chest. It’s just that they couldn’t understand why it was essential at that ti.
’How could we guess that it should be used like this? We almost died because of this trash system. First of all, I don’t even know why and how it happened... it simply did.’ Alm exhaled.
Neither Bruno nor Alm understood why these two different techniques fused together. How did it then wipe out the queen’s power from the crystal? They also couldn’t explain it.
The whole world was illuminated by infinite bluish runes resembling stars in the sky. In the end, they managed to completely dominate that overwhelming force. They checked, but the golden thread of will had disappeared as if it had entered the void. There was no sign of anything similar inside any other crystal.
It was then that all the energies in their bodies were exhausted, and they forcibly exited their minds from that place.
Upon opening their eyes, the sight of Ruri unconscious, completely clinging to them and entirely red from their blood, made them sigh. Thus, they passed out right there, entering a deep restorative coma.
***
Almost twelve hours later, Almin woke up, partially recovered. He entered into despair as he felt completely ensnared amid the laws of the earth.
His eyes moved forward, and in the center of the room, he saw the scene that made him petrified.
A completely naked whale, all red and skinless, lying on its back on the floor. And on top of its belly, a little girl equally red with blood, tightly clinging and unconscious...
On her lips, a smile of relief could be seen. ’Oh my god... he... how wild can he be?!’ Almin ntally exclaid, frightened, feeling that he might be the next al!
