Chapter 1838: An Annoyingly Resilient Foe!
RUMBLE!
The skies above the City of El Perdido trembled once more, as the people of the city glanced in disbelief as a gigantic silver, mechanical dragon clashed against a monstrous crimson being.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The monstrous entity, the Esper God, had been damaged to the point of exposing his core, but this ended creating a terrifying power to come from within him.
A power that only existed within the other dimension where he existed, as an extradimensional being! His body should have died long ago, but because he also existed within another dimension, that wasn't the case.
Kate channeled her own powers, combining them with Emil's psychic powers to create a completely new power, aiming to cancel out the ever-growing {Matter Absolution} of the Esper God before he became too excessively strong.
"Emil! Are you ready? Let's combine our power!" Kate said.
"Alright!" Emil nodded. "{Mind's Marble}!"
"{Matter Manipulation}!" Kate roared.
FLUOSH!
The Dragon and the Esper's powers merged, as a giant marble of silver and blue color expanded out of Kate's body, clashing against the body of the Esper God with tremendous force.
Not only it carried Emil's recovered psychic energy after he was healed thanks to Benladra's Anti-Mold. But it had merged with Kate's various Divinities and her all-powerful {Matter Manipulation} Divine Ability.
CLAAASH!
The tremendously powerful clash reverberated across the skies as space and time distorted, gained cracks, and then shattered into glass-like fragments.
Sometimes time slowed down and other times it speeded up because even space was being destroyed by the Esper God's powers that were leaking out of another dimension.
"UNNGGH?! AARGH!"
The Esper God screamed in agony as he realized his crimson body was being lightly destroyed by Kate and Emil's combined Domain. The pain was so strong that the countless eyes he opened across the sky suddenly closed, temporarily canceling the destruction of El Perdido! "YOU...! YOU AGAIN?!"
He was furious, glaring at Kate and noticing Emil within her chest, that marble that had merged with her mechanical body, without a doubt, was unmistakably him!
"EMIL!"
With a wrathful roar, his eyes across the sky were about to open again, suddenly moving around the sky and beginning to cry giant crimson tears towards Kate.
"THIS... THIS... THIS IS...! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! UUUAARRRHGH!"
As the Esper God screamed in agony over his own existence being twisted and fragmented apart due to the damage he sustained and his true power leaking out, he blamed Emil for everything, despite him being the only maker of his misfortune.
"That is not right!" Emil screamed. "You're the only one here at fault, Esper God! If you hadn't tried destroying everything... If you simply had listened to me!"
Kate and the Esper God clashed, their Domains and Auras expanding and exploding constantly as they touched one another.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
The power to manipulate Matter and Physics of Kate and Emil created such a powerful Psychic Divine Ability that it began to rapidly cancel out the Esper God's Matter Absolution.
Explosions of energy that distorted space and time were released constantly, making the entire sky tremble as if it were about to split itself apart!
"Just clashing alone won't do, we need to damage his body and what lies beyond his core..." said Kate. "I'll summon my blade. Emil, can you infuse your psychic energy into it?"
"I'll try!" Emil nodded. "I-I mean, I'll do it!"
"Thanks." Kate smiled. "Electra!"
RUMBLE!
An explosion of silver and azure thunder erupted from within Kate's body as a giant silver- colored technological sword was summoned.
This was her father's birthday gift, the [Divine Mechanical Longsword Of Technomancy: Electra]!
Of course, it wasn't the same Electra as before as she had progressively grown stronger as it slayed foes and absorbed materials.
FLUOSH!
An Aura of Blue and Silver color encompassed Electra, making it glow with bright psychic and electromagnetic energies.
"I got it, Kate!"
"Good."
Kate remained calm, always calm. Her eyes as sharp as a blade and her heart as cold as metal. She rushed forward, swinging her blade horiztonally and vertically, releasing shockwaves of System Divinity combined with Psychic Power, destabilizing the Esper God.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"UNNGGH!"
The Esper God groaned, his face distorting into several jaws and eyes as he constantly attempted to tank the attacks, only to have his ethereal body sliced apart.
"NGRAAAHHH!"
However, in his desperation, his entire body opened and showed a gigantic crimson eye, unleashing a tremendous beam against Kate.
TRUUUM!
Kate quickly took out her Shield, Tiamat's Scale, and placed it in front of her as she imbued it with her Aura while also activating Tiamat's effect, gaining a rainbow armor made out of its own power as well, which even included the System Element.
BOOOMMM!!!
The beam hit her instantly, she and Emil were protected, however, the force of the beam was
so strong it pushed them away with tremendous force, hundreds of kilometers away!
"Uuugh! He sent us too far away...!" Kate muttered.
"Dammit, he's firing another!" Emil said. "We have to evade, Kate!"
"I know, but I'm too heavy..." sighed Kate. "I'll have to release weight..."
Her eyes shone bright silver as her giant armor started falling from her body. Her bulky, mechanical body started to grow much tinner and slenderer, showing her skin for the first
time.
Kate was always naturally covered by a mechanical armor of biomechanical scales, however, through her "Armor Free" form, she could drop it all for a tremendous boost of speed.
Her skin was soft, composed of tiny reflective scales of silver and azure color.
"So she wasn't completely a robot!" Emil realized.
The only thing mechanical that remained within Kate were huge propulsors in her arms and legs, her head which had a giant, her chest armor where Emil was, and her giant, robotic
wings.
FLAAASH!
Like a blur of silver and azure light, Kate rushed towards the Esper God, evading his powerful
beams one after another.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Her giant sword was swung vertically and then horizontally, imitating her father's
techniques, she unleashed a barrage of cross-shaped slashing waves.
Each attack that impacted the Esper God spread countless cracks through his domain's barrier
and his body, weakening him huge consecutive explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"No... this can't be... this can't be...! THIS CAN BEEEEE!!!"
The Esper God suddenly exploded, turning into countless eye-covered tentacles made of
ethereal psychic energy, destroying space and time as it attacked Kate and Emil.
CRAAASH!
