Chapter 1502: Get serious
Little by little, the attacks began to get closer, and Rain’s suffering increased... he wondered if Fortus was helping Arel, but it was a bit too soon to confirm or deny that.
"You have gotten plenty stronger since the last time... I knew that you had a small chance against some of them, but to think that you would be able to defeat three of the machine gods. You have my praise for it."
"Nah, I am fine," Rain said while he was avoiding the attacks and absorbing as much energy as possible. "You can keep your praise to yourself."
"You think that copying me at such a level will be enough to win this?"
"Why don’t you ask Fortus?" Rain asked. "I bet that you use them like someone used star signs to tell how your day will be. Come on, let’s do this. Show yourself, are you a man, or did you lose your balls somewhere?"
"Technically, machine gods don’t have a gender, but I feel more comfortable thinking of myself as she. Thanks to that, I will crush you like the insect you are before you get any closer."
All of a sudden, Rain felt danger coming from his back, but before he could turn or do anything else, he was hit by a massive blast of fire...
Rain’s body began to burn almost instantly, but out of reflex, he teleported away from the attack and escaped with his life... still, a fraction of a second of the attack consumed half of his health.
"Shit... I thought that I had gotten stronger, but this level of attack is simply..." Rain thought as he felt his muscles burning.
As Arel observed Rain’s injuries, she was taken aback by the remarkable speed at which his wounds began to heal. To her surprise, it became apparent that Rain was utilizing the information and matter aspects in a unique way, harnessing their combined power to recreate and repair the damaged cells in his body.
Witnessing this display of mastery over the fundamental building blocks of existence, Arel couldn’t help but be impressed by Rain’s resilience and resourcefulness. Despite the intense pain he must have been experiencing, he demonstrated an extraordinary level of control and precision in his manipulation of the aspects, orchestrating the intricate dance of matter and energy within his own body to facilitate rapid healing.
