Chapter 588 Infinite Power
Whoosh, whoosh!
In the sky, Ayato and Ophis stood facing each other.
Their auras seemed endless, steadily climbing.
"As expected of Ouroboros Dragon."
Amidst the howling winds, a smile appeared on Ayato's lips.
"I have to say, among those I've fought, you are certainly one of the strongest."
"Just 'one of'?"
Ophis smiled faintly. "Then I ask you, did you win in the end?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Is that so?"
Ophis blinked, her small, delicate jade hand reaching out towards Ayato. "Then today, you will lose."
"I don't think so."
Ayato flicked his finger. A vast bolt of lightning tore through the sky, like light piercing darkness, as if it would tear the entire sky asunder.
On the other side.
As Ophis fully extended her palm, a burst of energy radiating a terrifying aura erupted.
In an instant.
As if moving mountains and overturning seas.
Almost infinite energy turned into a devastating shockwave, spreading forward.
"What?"
"Quick, retreat!"
The powerful beings on both sides of the battle all temporarily stopped, cooperatively retreating backwards.
In that instant, they felt a chilling horror rising from within their hearts.
Rumble!
Like a thunderclap.
An earth-shattering roar instantly swept across the heavens and earth.
Looking from afar.
Whether it was Ayato's lightning Authority.
Or Ophis's infinite energy.
Both seemed to stagnate, frozen in mid-air.
At this moment.
The entire sky seemed centered on Ayato and Ophis, exhibiting a tremendous distortion.
Their powers clashed and tore at each other.
As if dividing this stretch of sky into two completely different worlds.
No one knew how long passed.
It felt like an instant.
Or like an eternity.
Their collision grew increasingly intense, as if it would overturn the entire universe.
Before everyone's eyes.
Their powers had deadlocked for a long time, neither able to break through the other.
Finally.
Another roar.
Rumble!
Their powers exploded simultaneously.
Centered on Ayato and Ophis.
The surrounding void was covered in dense cracks.
Tangible shockwaves howled in all directions.
Turning into a tangible hurricane, kicking up a visible storm.
No one knew how many tall buildings were left swaying and tilted.
Countless reincarnated beings and Cursed Spirits were torn to shreds.
Such was the battle of the powerful.
The mere aftermath of the fight could easily clear the field.
Ayato and Ophis.
The God Slayer and Ouroboros Dragon.
Even in this mishmash of a world.
Their battle could definitely be called a peak confrontation.
Another battlefield.
The earth trembled wildly. Terrifying hurricanes raged, madly destroying everything around.
Here.
The entire sky was filled with dark red magic, radiating a dreadful aura of destruction.
The ground below was completely frozen over, like an eternal ice plain freezing everything.
Shing!
A series of white afterimages appeared in the air. Esdeath had arrived before Vali, throwing a devastating punch.
Bang!
With a dull thud.
The punch was blocked by Vali's arm.
Two violent forces spread, instantly destroying the surrounding ground once more.
"As expected, you are a good opponent."
The fighting spirit in Esdeath's eyes was tangible. Her body moved swiftly.
She slightly clenched one hand in the void, and an ice knife was held in her hand, slashing at Vali from an extremely unconventional angle.
Boom!
With a deafening roar.
Vali's entire body was covered in a layer of white armor, completely blocking the blade.
But the ensuing impact force still sent him flying backwards, his feet leaving a tens-of-meters-long trench on the ground.
Vali's light wings flapped, stopping the momentum.
Boom.
His aura began to climb steadily.
The power of his Balance Breaker pushed his strength to a brand new height.
He raised one hand. The moment a dark purple magic circle appeared, a terrifying magic cannon tore through the sky, splitting the ground ahead in two.
Rumble!
A terrifying explosion shot into the sky.
Countless air currents, carrying smoke and dust, formed a gigantic mushroom cloud, radiating endless light and heat.
"So this is the power of the White Dragon Emperor?"
Above the mushroom cloud, Esdeath had shot into the sky at some unknown time.
"But this... makes it even more interesting."
Murmuring softly, a crimson light blossomed.
