Chapter 1518: Equal footing
Then, with a deafening roar, the red star began to expand once again, its fiery tendrils stretching outwards into the void. But this time, something was different. As the star expanded, it fragmented into countless smaller spheres of fire and radiation, each one still many times larger than Rain himself.
These new spheres spun and twirled through the void, casting trails of light in their wake. But amidst the beauty of their celestial ballet, Rain could sense the danger that they posed. Each of these smaller spheres was a seething cauldron of unimaginable heat and energy, capable of incinerating anything in their path.
And there were not just a few of them. No, there were billions, if not trillions, of these fiery orbs scattered throughout the vast expanse of space. It was as if the very fabric of the universe itself had been set ablaze, consumed by the unstoppable fury of the red star’s fragmentation.
"Fuck... this I wasn’t expecting," Rain said.
Arel was able to control the whole red star. Controlling the entire thing as a single object was probably impossible for her, but she could split it into smaller parts and control those parts, even if their numbers were insane.
"Behold my true power and form. You have underestimated me for far too long, even though I was just trying to kill time while dealing with you."
Arel voice came from all directions and as she said that, the spheres of heat and radiation took shape of giant female bodies that were fifty meters tall... while the bodies didn’t have many details, Rain could feel Arel presence in each one of them, so it seemed that she successfully separated her core and added them to each one of those bodies.
Rain didn’t wait for Arel to start the final phase of the battle... he used Origin Punch level five on several of the creatures and completely erased them... the flames of their bodies disappeared in the cosmos, and that signaled their end... but Rain didn’t get any experience from it...
"Shit..." Rain thought.
The level one of Origin Punch was just a charged attack, the level two used space magic to make the skill impossible to dodge, the level three used light speed to make the charge almost instantaneous, and the level four also used Matter Compression on whatever type of glove Rain was currently using. With level five, Rain used Data Extraction or Data mining... but since he didn’t get any of that... It seemed that Arel was able to counter Rain’s best level of his best skill.
