Via, who had been lying on the ground, slowly rose into the air. The Abyssal Force within her body had already undergone an essential change and successfully ascended into divine power.
The divine power shield surrounding her body rebounded Sophie’s attacks.
“What in the world is going on?!”
Sophie stared at Via in front of her in terror.
She had already sensed that the aura on the other party was clearly no longer limited to the Transcendent tier.
Just like herself, the other party had stepped into the domain of the Mythical tier.
“This is impossible!”
“There is nothing impossible about it. Right now, you are no longer the only existence in this world who controls divine power.”
Via had already risen into midair. A pair of wings condensed from purple divine power appeared behind her.
At this moment, the situation between the two sisters seemed to have completely reversed. Sophie, who was possessed by the incomplete angel’s will, was instead the one who had to look up.
After entering the Mythical tier, Via’s understanding of this world had undergone an earth-shaking change.
The golden heavenly light high above the Saint Luo Empire began to churn under Via’s influence and was no longer as everlasting and undying as before. The pink-haired girl waved her hand as if she were the master of this space. A vast scroll of the starry river spread across the firmament, dispersing the angel’s curtain that had covered the sky above the capital.
With every raise of her hand and movement of her feet, she had already proven that she possessed the great power to control heaven and earth.
“This is…?”
Sophie looked at the brilliant starry river filling the sky and couldn’t help but widen her eyes. An expression of extreme astonishment appeared on the angel’s usually calm and pure face.
“Why are you able to control power that comes from beyond the heavens?!”
“You ask why?” Via smiled. “Incomplete angel’s will, the reason you were able to possess Sophie’s body is precisely because Sophie possesses a Heaven-bestowed Divine Body, is it not? Don’t tell me… you also possess a Heaven-bestowed Divine Body!”
The angel realized this point.
“That’s right. What I inherited more strongly is the ability from my father’s side to control power from beyond the heavens.”
Now, Via had finally proven it.
She was not a useless piece of trash. It was simply that the direction she excelled in was completely different from that of her twin sister.
The fact that she could obtain the power passed down by an outer-space god precisely proved this point.
“You actually accepted the power of an outsider, damn fallen one.”
The angel cursed in an extremely rare display.
“I will follow the will left behind by my Lord and expel every outsider upon the Theia Continent from this world!”
After throwing out these words, the angel beat her wings and charged toward the sky.
Using extremely high speed, she flew in front of Via, raised the weapon in her hand, and brought it down.
However, the moment her sword fell, Via’s figure vanished.
“Where is she?!”
Beneath the star-filled sky, the angel looked around in every direction, searching for Via’s whereabouts.
“Which direction are you looking in?”
A mocking voice rang out from behind the angel.
The angel rapidly turned around and saw Via stepping out from a spatial crack filled with starlight.
And arriving together with her was Via’s attack.
Under the infusion of divine power, Desolate Fire had also obtained an advancement, transforming from a legendary weapon into a divine artifact.
“Burn, Starfall Flame!”
Using the new name of Desolate Fire, Via unleashed a slash that ignited the starry river. It struck the angel’s body head-on without the slightest deviation.
This time the result was different from before. This was a Mythical-tier attack that broke through the angel’s divine power shield.
“Urk…!”
The angel let out a muffled groan. She was struck down from midair by Via. Just as she was about to smash into the ground, she barely used her wings to maintain her balance and remain suspended in the air.
However, she already looked somewhat disheveled at this moment.
Golden blood dripped down along her feathers onto the ground.
“How unsightly, angel. If your believers were to see you like this, would they abandon their faith out of disappointment?”
Via’s face was full of disdain, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
“However, I feel that because of your acts of destruction, they may have already been thoroughly disappointed in you long ago, haven’t they?”
“…No matter what, you absolutely cannot be permitted to exist upon the Theia Continent.”
The angel’s gaze locked tightly onto Via’s body.
In her eyes, this was an enemy she had to eliminate.
The priority of executing this mission had already risen above every other matter.
There was no room for reconciliation whatsoever.
“You must die!”
The angel once again flew high into the air.
She did not choose to launch a close-range attack. Instead, she raised her hand and attached golden divine power to the silver swords scattered around her, causing the four weapons to tear through the long sky and launch long-range attacks against Via.
Via’s body blurred and merged into a starry spatial crack, avoiding the first strike.
The angel stopped. She abandoned searching for Via’s figure and instead sensed any minute fluctuations within space.
Three seconds later, she sensed a faint ripple appear in the ten o’clock direction and immediately drove the four swords to launch a combined attack.
Sure enough, Via appeared from within a starry spatial crack. The moment she stepped out, the four swords had already flown in front of her.
Ding!
Via raised Starfall Flame to block and was pushed a great distance away.
“This move is already useless against me. You cannot escape.”
The divine power on the angel’s body became turbulent.
She had lost all patience and no longer wished to drag things out with Via. She intended to pour everything into the next strike and thoroughly destroy the inheritor of the outer-space god.
The red-haired girl raised the sword in her hand. Golden particles began to revolve around her pure body.
She quickly made a slash and opened a spatial crack. A holy arm gripping a giant sword formed from pure divine power reached out.
“Divine Light, Judge the Sins!”
The angel unleashed an extremely terrifying strike. The violent divine power nearly crushed space itself. Merely the fluctuation from swinging the sword sent the capital’s imperial palace below flying.
Via also felt the weight of this attack. She knew this was the moment that would decide victory or defeat, and therefore went all out as well.
She infused divine power into Starfall Flame, gripped the hilt with both hands, and swung forward, tearing open a massive crack that seemed to light up the entire starry sky.
Countless dazzling streams of light flew out from the starry spatial crack like a meteor shower descending. Each one carried absolute great power as they smashed into the divine-power-formed sword, continuously pressing downward.
The two terrifying streams of divine power collided, causing space itself to shatter.
The radiant brilliance of the starry river ultimately overwhelmed the holy arm. The sword condensed from divine power was crushed, and the holy arm was destroyed.
“Aaaah!!”
The angel let out a miserable wail. The meteors tore apart her pure white wings, causing her to fall from the sky into the ruins of the capital’s imperial palace, collapsing beneath the starry sky.
“It’s over.”
Via flew onto the ruins, stopped Starfall Flame in front of Sophie, and declared the result of this battle.
