Chapter 1516: Creature
"I am surprised that you managed to reach me. I honestly thought that this would be beyond anyone aside from the machine gods, but you proved me wrong once more. Beings of flesh like you are probably just a mass of confusion and nonsense."
"Thank you very much for your high praise."
Arel rested calmly in front of a dark portal, seemingly unfazed by the intense energy emanating from the apparent core of the red start. The portal appeared to be a significant drain on the star’s energy, hinting at its importance. Rather than concealing herself, Arel boldly presented her form before Rain as if showcasing her core was the most natural thing in the world. Her demeanor suggested a confidence born of power and certainty.
"It seems that our roles are reversed now," Rain said. "Are you waiting for your friends to come and help?"
"It seems that you are getting ahead of yourself just because you survived until now, even though I never tried to kill you that much."
"Yep, that is right, I am getting ahead of myself," Rain said and then used Origin Punch.
From his distance, Rain tried to destroy the Arel core, but a blast of energy came from the portal and stopped him... Rain looked at his fist and then saw a hole in his hand.
"So that you know, I chose not to have a real body here since I don’t need it. Soon enough, you will understand why."
"I imagined that you wouldn’t choose a bad place for you to fight as the core of your territory," Rain said as he healed his hand. "Anyway, we don’t have all the time in the universe for this."
