Chapter 719: The Strongest Heir? (2)
Aurora smiled mischievously as she looked at the remaining younger siblings.
In front of her, with tense expressions, stood the triplets—Riyan, Rye, and Rita—along with Klaus, Evelyn, and Clara.
There was indeed a reason she had quickly removed the others, and it wasn’t truly because they were weaker than the rest.
Without using their Divinity and Divine/Codex Powers, they were pretty limited when it came to fighting their siblings.
Take Drake, for example—he was the embodiment of Tyranny, a being who represented power through taking and conquering.
While that could certainly be turned against his siblings, it wasn’t exactly battle focused.
If their abilities weren’t tied to battle embodiment or something that could directly help in such fights, then they were of little use in this scenario.
That’s why Aurora removed everyone who wasn’t truly a solo fighter.
----
The remaining six smiled wryly, the tension breaking into familiar sibling banter.
Rye cracked his neck with a loud pop, his muscular frame radiating raw power as he grinned.
"Everyone always loves taking the fun out of the battles, huh?"
In that moment, he moved — not toward Aurora, but toward Rita.
Riyan moved at the exact same time, two of the triplets acting in perfect sync. They knew as long as Rita — the embodiment of Finality — was present, victory would be nearly impossible.
So, they attacked her at once.
BOOM! BOOM!
Rye’s powerful fists, infused with Infinity, rained down in boundless repetitions while Riyan locked the area with Eternity, trying to trap Rita in an endless loop of attacks.
"Just like the old times, huh?
HUMMMMMM!!!!
Rita laughed sharply even as she defended, Finality flaring Around her, and in that moment, their attacks stopped cold and then unraveled entirely.
----
At the same time, Evelyn transformed in a fluid motion, her light purple hair dissolving into streams of pure wind.
As the embodiment of constant change, she could shift and adapt effortlessly. Using the chaos from the triplets’ clash as cover, she vanished into invisible gusts that lashed toward Clara with razor-sharp force.
Clara just shook her head, her purple hair swaying lightly.
She spoke with a calm tone, her words carrying undeniable weight.
"Reveal... and restrict Perpetual Change."
Evelyn’s wind form was forcibly torn back into her physical body, her movements suddenly restricted as if bound by invisible chains.
"Tch, every time!" she complained mid-air.
CRACKKKKKK!!!!
Clara appeared in front of her in a flash and delivered a clean, powerful kick to her face.
Evelyn was sent flying across the sky with a surprised yelp, tumbling through the clouds.
But she adapted instantly.
HUMMMMM!!!!
In a fluid swirl of power, her form dissolved once more into streams of ever-changing wind.
Perpetual Change surged through her, making her slightly more immune to Clara’s conceptual words than before.
The gusts howled with renewed aggression as she circled back for another strike.
Clara’s purple eyes narrowed.
"Gosh... the longer you fight, the more unpredictable you get," she muttered.
She knew she had to finish this fast.
Her gaze shifted sharply to Rita, who had just knocked Rye away with a devastating strike of Finality.
At that exact moment, a lightning bolt of pure Eternity — launched by Riyan — streaked toward Rita from behind, crackling with endless looping power.
In that split second, Evelyn reformed behind Clara, a cutting gale of wind forming into a sharp, decisive strike.
Right before the attack landed, Clara spoke.
"The Eternity lightning never existed."
The bolt of eternity disappeared in a flash from behind Rita, only to return as pure, binding Eternity wrapped snugly around Clara.
In that brief moment, a glimmering cage of infinite time formed, freezing the scene perfectly in place.
In that frozen heartbeat, Clara extended the interval between Evelyn’s attack reaching her by an eternity, stretching the single second into something vast and uncountable.
Then she turned with calm precision and spoke again, her voice carrying absolute finality.
"Sister.... you are already gone."
The words sealed it.... but she added a palm strike just for extra taste.
BOOOOOM!!!!!
Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock as she was struck, her wind form destabilized violently, and before she could even adapte a rift tore open beneath her.
She was pulled downward with irresistible force, sent hurtling back into Pantheos in a flash of light.
"Hey, I’m not dead!" her voice echoed faintly as she disappeared.
Clara only giggled softly, a light, confident sound, before she felt the air behind her twist with dangerous intent.
Without hesitation, she spoke, her voice carrying the weight of Unspoken Verity.
"No strike shall reach me."
The words should have woven an impenetrable shield around her. But in the same instant, Aurora’s calm voice cut through the chaos like a blade of absolute truth.
"Unspoken Verity is useless here."
Aurora channeled both Clara’s own power over Unspoken Verity and Layla’s Truth in perfect convergence.
The shield Clara had tried to summon shattered before it could even form, the conceptual authority completely nullified.
Clara’s eyes widened in genuine surprise.
In that split second, Aurora appeared behind her in a blur of white light. A single, elegant kick — infused with the overwhelming accumulation of essences — landed true against Clara’s back.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!
The force was utterly devastating.
Clara was launched forward like a comet, unable to stop her momentum. She slammed directly into the orb of Finality that Rita had launched toward Riyan moments earlier.
The moment her body touched the orb, pure, conclusive power enveloped her.
"Wai—!" Clara started, but it was already too late.
The orb of Finality consumed her completely, and she vanished in a flash of light — sent hurtling back into Pantheos with the rest of the defeated.
The triplets — Riyan, Rye, and Rita — all paused their fierce three-way clash at the same moment.
Their eyes turned toward Aurora in perfect unison, a silent understanding passing between them.
No words were necessary; the atmosphere between the three of them seemed to pulse with an almost tangible energy, thick and heavy, as they silently reached the same conclusion without a single glance or gesture.
HUMMMMMM!!!!!
Riyan’s eyes shimmered with infinite depth as he pushed Eternity to its peak. Rye’s strong frame tightened, Infinity coursing around him in wild, unending waves.
Rita’s dark eyes blazed with unwavering resolve as Finality burst forth like the ultimate end.
The three essences combined into something far greater than the sum of their parts.
