Chapter 1141: Reach Even Further Beyond
Chapter 1141: Reach Even Further Beyond
Maria conjured the power of her transformation once more, summoning its innate blessing ability and transforming her weapons into even stronger versions of themselves, her blades, spears, axes, hammers, and halberds attacked the King of the Depths with a ferocious charge, moving so quickly that he was unable to respond in time, each of her blows tore through his flesh, his radiance burning and beginning to disappear.
"{Harmonizing Stance: Yin & Yang Balance}!"
Maria activated the Harmonized Stance of the [Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable
Abyssal Ghost Asura Battle Arts] Skill, harmonizing and combining the effects of her {Enlightened Stance: Brilliance of Yang} and the {Demonic Stance: Darkness of Yin} stances at the same time!
Golden and Darkness essences flowed from her body, at the same time as her attacks became more and more intense, the defenses and attacks of the King of the Depths, as a result, were growing sluggish.
"How is this possible! Why am I getting slower?!" he thought. "This shouldn't be possible...! No! I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS!"
He kept fighting back more, the resonance of his abilities surged from his body, changing and transforming into several giant titan hands and sea dragon serpentine jaws. They attacked Maria as her own attacks triggered the same effects.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
It was as if the ancient Ocean Titans and the Sea Dragons were fighting against one another. The King of the Depths finally realizing that Maria's powers were very similar to his own, they even possessed the same type of power and divine radiance.
Maria was constantly attacking, constantly activating everything she had, the King of the Depths kept fighting back, his countless jaws firing beams, his limbs striking down, chopping away her limbs, tentacles, and soul apart!
Yet she couldn't stop fighting, she couldn't let this monster drown the world. Within the depths of her Origin Core, something was shining, something was resonating within.
The culmination of all her power, of all her attacks, of all her skills.
But there wasn't enough time to grasp it yet, she couldn't do it yet!
"HAHAHAH! YOU'RE GROWING WEAKER!"
The King of the Depths realized Maria was becoming slower now, he quickly charged towards her, slammed her head down and then pierced her body with countless spear-tipped tails at once!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"UGH! N-NO...!"
Maria lost the thing she was grasping, vomiting her own blood essence, and beginning to fall into the sea's depths once more.
"I... I am still not enough to beat him?"
Yet she wasn't alone.
"MAMAAAA!"
Nyx and Arachne roared in unison, rushing towards the King of the Depths, and hitting him with all their power! Nyx clashed against the monster's left shoulder, coiling her entire body around him, and beginning to bite and dissolve his flesh with her new power, Phantasmal Venom of Destruction, born from fusing her venom and poison from Maria's Ego fused into her, her phantasmal dragons, and her Divine Concept of Destruction.
Meanwhile, Arachne's limbs and pincers pierced the right shoulder, wrapping her countless limbs around it and beginning to bite and pierce through his flesh, her Nightmare Ocean Divine Aura pierced his flesh and reached his soul, making his entire body tremble as his soul was being slowly eaten.
"AAARRGGH! MOVE ASIDE YOU TRASH!"
The King of the Depths gave a furious fit of rage, grabbing Nyx and Arachne and throwing them away from his body, only to realize the tremendous damage they dealt to him! In his anger, he materialized two spears of water and launched them at the girls.
"DIE IMPALED LIKE THE BEASTS YOU ARE!"
Maria panicked, Lucifer, Jonathan, Emeraldine, and Partner were right behind him, but wouldn't make it in time! The spears were launched, the girls' bodies were pierced, her eyes widened, as she saw them bleeding and vomiting blood.
CRAAASH!
"UGH?!"
"AGH!"
"NOOOO!"
Maria's scream of fury and desperation resonated with all her powers at once, the seas shook, the sun above the skies shone brightly, the underworld itself heard her roar, and even the void outside seemed to resonate with her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"BASTARD!"
With a furious roar, her powers culminated together into something, the spark of it all, her Origin Core resonated, shining with the brightest darkness. A crimson eye watched her amidst the endless void, a smile surging on its endless body.
"Unleash your true power, oh herald of Nothingness!"
His tenebrous, aberrant voice resonated within Maria's very phantasmal heart, as her powers merged with her once more, her form suddenly changing, her strange form taking a much more refined appearance.
Gray skin, a single silver eye, long tentacles coming from her head, sharp claws in her two other arms, and her foot, and a long, tremendously long tentacle-like tail. Her gray latex-like skin gained countless golden tattoos, shining brightly.
"T-This power...! What is this?!" muttered Maria. "Is this... a second form?!"
Yes, she wasn't wrong, the power of the [Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment] actually had
stages, and as it grew stronger with each level, such stages could be unlocked.
And right now, her true Divine Concept has begun to blossom at the same time as she transformed!
Yet she had no time to think at all, she moved.
Space itself, the sea, everything became nothing to her, there was no longer any boundaries
for her, she moved unrestrained by them all.
The emptiness inside of Maria since her conception as a ghost, it wasn't just because she was a
ghost.
It wasn't just because she had a curse inside of her.
And it wasn't just because she felt empty due to a lack of emotions, or a lack of happiness.
There was something much more intrinsic to it, something that perhaps has been cultivating within the depths of her soul since then.
Something that continued growing beyond "just a feeling", and the very emptiness that also granted her the element of the void.
Maria was never a "chosen one" of any kind, but through all the suffering she had gone
through, and through all her soul's transformations.
This emptiness became something more, even noteworthy of the Outer Gods to notice as one
of their kindred.
{Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment}: {Second Stage: Herald of Nothingness}
TRUUUM!
"H-Huh?!"
Before the King of the Depths could realize what happened, half of his body had disappeared,
as an invisible wave of Nothingness devoured it all.
