<title>Absolute Domain and the Fated Death</title>
</head>
“Who are you?”
“Why do you disturb my slumber?”
The Mist Dragon emitted a hoarse voice, it glanced at Hong Ye and the others, not paying them any mind.
However, when it saw Xue Ji and Alpha, it subconsciously let out a slight gasp.
“Such an enormous amount of Magic Power.”
Mist Dragon: “Are you here to end me, to grant me death?”
Without a doubt, even with most of their strength restricted, both Xue Ji and Alpha still possessed the power to battle the Mist Dragon.
In Bai Luo’s perception, the Attributes of the Mist Dragon were roughly as follows:
<ul><li>Race: Dragonkind</li>
<li>Abilities: Primal Magic Power, World Curse</li>
<li>Rating: Eight-digit number (late stage)</li>
</ul>
An Eight-digit number (late stage) Mist Dragon, in this world, already had the overwhelming strength to destroy an entire nation.
Of course, this destruction isn’t instantaneous but rather through relentless rampaging that would gradually demolish cities, leading to the downfall of a country.
If we solely consider Magic Power, the current Mist Dragon was roughly equivalent to an 8-year-old Cid.
But Cid’s strength lay in his Magic Power control.
Therefore, in terms of evaluation, Cid should be classified as Seven-digit number initial stage, while Bai Luo, who faced him, was at the mid-stage of Seven-digit number.
Don’t underestimate the difference between these small stages; such a minor gap might equate to a tenfold disparity.
Not to mention, the Mist Dragon and Cid differ by an entire realm in terms of digits.
To put it bluntly, even if the current Cid were standing here, he could effortlessly defeat the Mist Dragon.
“What an exaggerated amount of Magic Power.”
Alpha remarked, “If it weren’t for the power bestowed by Lord Bai Luo, this guy would have been akin to a natural disaster for us, wouldn’t he?”
“Let me handle this.”
Xue Ji stepped forward, wanting to showcase her abilities in front of Bai Luo. “This one isn’t worthy enough for Lord Bai Luo to personally deal with him.”
“Sister Xue Ji is absolutely right,” Alpha added. “To meet Lord Bai Luo, one must possess the strength to surpass us Authority Holders.”
Bai Luo was a deity in the eyes of the two women. Even if the god were to act, there would need to be a sufficiently grand stage prepared, along with opponents worthy of him.
The Mist Dragon was strong, yet not strong enough.
Just speaking of the two of them, even in their sealed state, they possessed Magic Power comparable to the Dragon.
Perhaps in the application of force, they might have some differences compared to the Dragon.
But that wasn’t an issue.
Unleashing more power or removing a limiter to overwhelm with sheer Magic Power would make the fight seem like child’s play.
“Alright,” Bai Luo smiled faintly, without any intention of overshadowing the two women.
Indeed, they needed to display their strength before the children, to better unify the team.
The prince was Bai Luo’s messenger and the person managing on his behalf.
“Two against one?”
Seeing Alpha and Xue Ji stand before him, the Mist Dragon didn’t feel fear but instead became extremely excited. “Agreed! You have the qualification to slay me!”
“Come then, battle me and bestow upon me the fated death!”
The Mist Dragon roared thunderously. Battling a strong opponent and dying in combat was its lifelong wish.
“Looks like we’ve got ourselves a good opponent,” Xue Ji said, holding her fan lightly over her red lips. Her originally lazy gaze now appeared unusually fierce.
“Try to defeat it without breaking the limit,” Alpha suggested. Xue Ji nodded in agreement, “Yes, let Lord Bai Luo see the results of our training during this time!”
“ROAR!!!”
The Mist Dragon paid no attention to their two-on-one situation. The silver-white dragon spread its wings, its rainbow-colored whiskers entwined with lightning. As the Dragon ascended, an immense flow of Magic Power swept across the entire Foggy Forest.
Trees fell, the ground cracked, and even distant hills shattered instantly.
“A long-awaited battle, brave challengers, show me your power!”
Lowering its head, the Dragon spewed a several-meter-wide beam of Magic Power from its mouth, moving so fast it left no reaction time for the two women.
“Starting off with a powerful move?” Xue Ji showed no fear as she stepped forward, unleashing silvery-gray Magic Power.
“Back off!”
The young fox girl shouted, swinging her paper fan downwards forcefully, severing the cascading waterfall-like torrent of Magic Power.
“This level of Magic Power has reached SR standards, hasn’t it?”
“Unfortunately…” A golden figure leaped out from beside Xue Ji, swift as lightning, reaching the Dragon in an instant. “Your technique is too poor!”
Alpha’s swordsmanship was swift and elegant. This art inherited from the Pokémon race, combined with the Magic Power manipulation techniques taught by Bai Luo, finally showcased Alpha’s unique brilliance.
Despite her youth, Alpha’s every move exuded the ease and grace of a master.
“SWISH SWISH SWISH!!!”
In the blink of an eye, dozens of slashes appeared on the Dragon’s body from the Slime-formed sword wielded by Alpha.
“Hm?”
However, Alpha didn’t feel joy but rather grew serious. Because her attacks failed to leave even a single scratch on the Dragon.
“What’s going on?”
Alpha frowned slightly, retreating quickly without engaging further with the Dragon.
“Never!”
The massive body of the Dragon didn’t slow it down at all. Numerous beams of light shot out from its wings, hundreds densely packed, each containing terrifying Magic Power.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM~~”
Beams of light rained down like meteors, causing earth-shattering explosions that raised sky-obscuring dust clouds, blocking Bai Luo and the others watching from afar.
“Impressive, truly impressive.”
“Sister Xue Ji and Sister Alpha, are they alright?” The children marveled at the Dragon’s strength while worrying about the two sisters, fearing they might get hurt.
“Rest assured,” Bai Luo remained calm. “They haven’t even used one-tenth of their strength; they won’t lose.”
“BANG BANG BANG~~”
Sure enough, as Bai Luo finished speaking, numerous vines erupted from the ground, binding the limbs and wings of the Mist Dragon, restricting its movements.
“What?”
The Mist Dragon clearly hadn’t anticipated this situation. It struggled, but the seemingly fragile vines were far stronger than it imagined.
“HUMM!!!”
Emerald green life energy surged from the vines, leaves and flowers growing visibly.
They were sapping the Mist Dragon’s Magic Power, devouring its vitality.
“The Sacred Domain has been activated.”
Xue Ji lowered her hand, revealing a thin silver-gray light barrier in front of her, the absolute domain of the Gray King.
Among the seven Kings appointed by Bai Luo, the Golden King had the strongest overall power.
But when it came to defense, Xue Ji, the Gray King, was undoubtedly the first!
“No choice, this guy’s Magic Resistance is too high.” Alpha clenched her fists towards the direction of the Dragon. Her ability to manipulate life accelerated the extraction of the Dragon’s power.
Even the original Cid had to use a technique similar to atomic fission to break through the Dragon’s defenses.
However, Alpha and Xue Ji did not possess such skills at this moment.
As for Magic Power compression, even if they unleashed their full Magic Power and compressed it, they could only injure the Dragon, not kill it.
“You focus on attacking fully, I’ll handle the defense.”
“Alright.”
Alpha didn’t hesitate. The young girl crouched lower, golden specks began to invade the Slime-simulated longsword in her hand.
“ROAR??”
Seeing this, Bai Luo felt somewhat gratified: “Already developed capabilities to this extent?”
“Nice surprise.”
In his perception, approximately two-tenths of Alpha’s Magic Power when fully liberated was injected into the sword and continuously compressed.
This was Alpha’s limit.
At present, she couldn’t perfectly control this vast Magic Power.
But it wasn’t over yet.
The Golden Sacred Domain unfolded, emerald vines symbolizing life tightly bound the Mist Dragon’s movements, while golden threads of fate rapidly covered the sword, imbuing it with forces potent enough to threaten the Dragon.
“This?!?”
For years, the Dragon once again felt the fear of its life being threatened.
It stared intently at Alpha’s golden sword.
The power emanating from it was capable of severing rules directly from causality – the fated death!
“HA HA HA HA!!!”
Realizing this, the Mist Dragon didn’t retreat but instead opened its massive mouth wide in excitement towards Alpha: “Destined maiden to kill me, come forth, show me your strength!”
Next, colorful lights emerged around the Dragon’s body, flowing on its surface and converging towards its heart.
“What is this guy planning?”
Xue Ji’s lips twitched slightly; she vaguely guessed the Dragon’s intentions.
“Self-destruct?”
“Damn!!!”
Once Xue Ji understood what the Dragon intended to do, she immediately discarded her fan.
The white fox girl spread her arms wide, nine fox tails gently swaying behind her. One of them had turned a brilliant blue at some point.
Just as the Golden Sacred Domain granted Alpha the Superpower to control life and destiny, Xue Ji also received her own powers.
Gray was the color of protection, possessing an absolute domain capable of resisting any harm.
This was a further enhancement beyond the original causal interference level of the Sacred Domain.
Besides, Xue Ji also had the Superpower to manipulate elements.
No, this power wasn’t merely simple elemental control.
Each element carried symbolic meanings; fire represented combustion, the release of energy.
Ice, on the other hand, possessed the power to slow down material motion.
When developed deeply, this ability could even stop molecular motion within a certain range entirely.
Yes, this was the power of time.
Similar to Esdeath’s Mokubotsuma in the Amegakure World, a Time Stop field under absolute zero conditions!
“SWOOSH~~~”
Silver-gray light radiated from Xue Ji, instantly swallowing nearly a kilometer of space around her.
The Beast People children, Bai Luo, Alpha, and the Mist Dragon, all matter within this area turned grayish-white.
“What is this?”
Alpha’s body shimmered with golden light.
Unlike the gray-white children, Alpha, as the Queen of Gold, was unaffected by this force and could still move freely within the Absolute Domain.
“Indeed, Ice and Snow attributes suit Sister Xue Ji well,” Bai Luo also glowed, being Xue Ji’s lord, naturally unaffected by any influence.
Thus, in this gray-white world, only three colors remained.
“Lord Bai Luo?”
“Well done,” Bai Luo nodded appreciatively as he noticed Xue Ji looking over. “Next time you use this move, shouting ‘Zawarudo’ would be even better.”
“What?”
Initially pleased by Bai Luo’s praise, Xue Ji now looked perplexed.
“Nothing,” Bai Luo didn’t elaborate since Xue Ji didn’t understand the JOJO reference. “Alright, Alpha, take your shot. Xue Ji’s domain can’t last long.”
Originally, Bai Luo was already surprised that Xue Ji could develop the Ice and Snow Force to a rule-level usage.
Nine tails, nine attributes, not only could they be used individually, but they could also be developed deeply.
Moreover, different attributes could combine in pairs.
‘Truly fitting for Xue Ji’s limits, eliminations, and encompassments.’
Bai Luo chuckled helplessly, and Alpha remained focused.
The Pokémon girl was ready to deliver the finishing blow.
Taking advantage of the last few seconds of the Time Stop domain, Alpha held the Golden Sacred Sword of Fate and, before the Mist Dragon realized anything, pierced straight through its heart!
“???”
The Mist Dragon only felt a sharp pain in its chest. It looked down, confusedly staring at the suddenly appearing, and suddenly piercing young girl.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
The Mist Dragon had no idea what happened.
In its perspective, it was gathering all its Magic Power, preparing to self-destruct.
Dragons in the Shadow World possessed immortality; they couldn’t commit suicide and couldn’t be killed by ordinary people.
Even if blown to ashes, the Mist Dragon could quickly repair itself.
However, Alpha was different.
With such a terrifying Magic Power explosion, unless Alpha safely released her Magic Power, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Even if she survived, she would inevitably suffer severe injuries.
But the question was, what was happening now?
Everything was planned well, but how did it suddenly end up getting stabbed, and the Magic Power flowing inside its body completely severed due to some external interference?
“What exactly have you done?”
Ignoring the excruciating pain from its heart, the Mist Dragon wanted to know what just happened.
It wasn’t dull-witted; based on the available information,
the speed Alpha displayed was simply inconceivable, defying logic.
‘Teleportation?’
‘No.’ The Mist Dragon’s pupils contracted, “You… manipulated time?!”
Could humans really achieve something like that?
“Tell me your name!”
The Dragon’s voice trembled slightly; it craved battle and yearned for a perfect ending.
But at least, at least it deserved to know the name of the person who would end its existence.
“Alpha.”
Facing the Dragon’s questioning, Alpha remained calm, “A traveler seeking a place to rest here.”
“A traveler, huh?”
“HA HA HA HA!!!”
The Dragon laughed heartily, accepting the conclusion that had awaited for thousands of years.
Then, blinding golden light erupted from the Golden Sacred Sword.
Golden threads spread like veins across the Mist Dragon’s body, covering it entirely in moments.
“I am the Golden Queen who governs fate.”
“Now, in my name, I bestow upon you the fated death!”
The authority of gold, the power of fate, could ignore conditions and rules, directly granting death on a causal level.
Similar to the Straight Death Magic Eyes, which required seeing the target’s death lines,
but Alpha didn’t need that.
She simply inputted her demands into fate, and the power of fate would execute orders according to the Queen’s will.
“It’s over.”
Three words, indifferent and cold, devoid of any emotion.
There was only the final decree from above!
