The Strongest Student of the Weakest Academy

Chapter 597: Genesis (III)

She floated a little closer, her voluptuous figure still radiating that overwhelming purple aura as she looked at me with a mixture of pride and hunger.

The cosmic battlefield around us seemed to pause, the destroyed stars and swirling nebulae holding their breath as she spoke.

"The Trumpets cannot be conquered, Luntheris," she explained calmly.

"They do not bow to force or raw power. They only acknowledge their true Creator, which is me. I made them. I breathed life into them. They are extensions of my will, fragments of my essence scattered across reality."

She raised her hand, and a faint image of the twelve Trumpets appeared between us, glowing with different colors, each one a representation of a fundamental force.

"Most candidates who gathered them only ever used a fraction of their power. Maybe fifty percent at best. They thought brute force and determination would be enough. They never understood the true nature of the Trumpets. They saw them as tools to be dominated. But the Trumpets are alive. They have souls, and so, they willingly choose who they fully serve."

Her mismatched eyes locked onto mine with intense focus.

"But you... you have the soul of a Creator. Just like me. That’s why they acknowledged you so completely. That’s why you’re able to use their full power now. One hundred percent. No limitations or any half-measures. The Trumpets have accepted you as their second master."

She smiled wider, her painted-black lips curving with clear excitement.

"Do you feel it? The difference? The way the energy flows through you without resistance now? That surge you felt when you claimed the last one... that was them fully opening to you. You are no longer just a user. You are their equal holder. Their co-creator."

Listening to her words, I closed my eyes lightly.

And just like she said...

I felt it.

The power inside me had changed.

It was no longer a borrowed force... but it felt like it was now mine.

The Chaos Energy, the Authorities, the Trumpets... everything felt perfectly synchronized, like a part of my very being, as if they were an extension of my own soul.

The wound on my stomach had stopped bleeding entirely, and the pain was fading as my body healed at an accelerated rate.

The Creator Woman laughed softly.

"You really are special, Luntheris. Out of billions who tried, only you reached this point. Only you earned their full acknowledgment. I’ll repeat it as many times as I need to... that’s why I’ve been so interested in you. That’s why I chose this form when I first met you. I wanted to see if the one with the Creator’s soul could stand beside me."

She spread her arms, her purple aura expanding as the space around us trembled.

"Now we are truly equals in power. No more holding back. No more games. This fight... will decide everything."

Her eyes burned with excitement as she prepared for the next exchange.

"Are you ready to see what a true battle between Creators looks like?"

I tightened my grip on both swords, the full power of the Trumpets surging through me.

"I’ve been ready."

I didn’t wait for her to make the first move this time.

The full power of the Trumpets surged through me like a river of pure creation and destruction.

The universe bent to my will in ways it never had before. I could feel every star, every galaxy, every atom around us as if they were extensions of my own body.

I charged forward, both swords blazing with chaotic silver and black energy.

The Creator Woman’s eyes widened with delight as I closed the distance in an instant. She raised her hand to summon another wave of purple annihilation, but I was faster.

『 ✯ Authority of Space and Time ✯ 』

I froze the space around her mid-motion and slashed upward with the Midnight Sword. The blade cut through her defenses, drawing a long line of golden blood across her chest.

"Haahh~"

She gasped, but it wasn’t pain in her voice, but it was pure excitement.

"Yes! That’s it!" she laughed breathlessly, golden blood dripping from her lips as she broke free from the temporal lock.

"You’re finally using everything! Don’t hold back, Luntheris! Hurt me more!"

Fuck...

She sounds as crazy as Horae.

I thrust the Heaven Swallowing Sword forward, aiming for her heart.

The blade pierced through her purple aura, draining a massive amount of her power in one strike. She staggered back, but her smile only grew wider.

She countered with a point-blank blast of chaotic purple energy from her palm.

BOOOOM!

The explosion destroyed several nearby galaxies, but I met it with my own Authority of Destruction, pushing the blast back toward her.

The force sent her flying, her body crashing through a newly formed nebula.

I followed immediately, appearing above her and bringing both swords down in a devastating overhead strike.

"Moonlit Ice Lotus Sword Art..."

『 Seventh Move! (✹ Absolute Zero Eclipse ✹) 』

A storm of black ice and chaotic energy crashed down on her. The impact created a massive crater in the fabric of space itself, swallowing stars and planets in its wake.

The Creator Woman burst out of the crater, golden blood flowing from multiple wounds, but her laugh was wild and joyful.

"You’re pushing me back!" she shouted, her red eye glowing with manic excitement.

"No one has ever done this to me! Not like this! Come on, Luntheris! Show me more! Break me if you can!"

She summoned thousands of purple spears made of pure chaos and hurled them at me. Each spear could erase entire star systems.

I met them with a wave of my own power, my Authority of Karma mixed with Chaos, turning her own attack against her.

The spears reversed mid-flight and slammed into her instead.

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

She took the hits head-on, her body bleeding golden blood from dozens of wounds, but she kept laughing.

"Yes! Yes! This is what I wanted! A real fight! A real opponent!"

I appeared right in front of her and unleashed a series of lightning-fast slashes with both swords.

The Midnight Sword cut deep into her side while the Heaven Swallowing Sword drained even more of her power.

She tried to counter with a palm strike infused with creation energy, but I parried it with the Midnight Sword and kicked her in the stomach, sending her crashing through another cluster of stars.

The battle was completely in my favor now.

At least for now...

THUMPPP!

She crashed into a floating asteroid field, golden blood staining the rocks as she stood up again.

Her combat outfit was torn in several places, revealing glimpses of her perfect, bloodied skin. But her eyes were shining with pure ecstasy.

"You’re overwhelming me..." she whispered, almost reverently.

"I’ve never felt this before. This pressure... this excitement... You really are worthy, Luntheris."

I didn’t give her time to recover.

I appeared above her and brought both swords down in a cross slash.

"Moonlit Ice Lotus Sword Art..."

『 Fifth Move! (✯ Thousand-Lotus Guillotine ✯) 』

Hundreds of silver ice lotuses formed around her, each one a deadly blade. They closed in from every direction, slicing through her defenses.

She blocked some with her purple aura, but many cut deep into her body, drawing more golden blood.

She laughed through the pain, her voice hoarse but filled with joy.

"More! Give me more! I want to feel everything you have!"

I pressed the advantage, my swords moving in a blur as I unleashed another barrage.

The Heaven Swallowing Sword drained her power while the Midnight Sword carved through her defenses.

She was bleeding heavily, her movements slowing, but that wild excitement in her eyes never faded.

She staggered back, pretending to be weaker than she was. I saw the opening and went for it.

A decisive thrust with both swords aimed at her heart.

But... that was definitely a mistake, and I noticed it, too late.

She had baited me.

The moment I committed, her expression changed.

The playful joy vanished, replaced by a sadistic, predatory smile.

She moved faster than I anticipated, her hand glowing with purple chaotic energy as she sidestepped my attack and thrust her palm straight into my chest.

Spluuuurtt!

Her hand pierced through my body like a spear, the purple energy burning through flesh and bone.

Pain exploded in my chest as her fingers closed around something vital.

"Gurgghh... pfft!" I gasped, blood spraying from my mouth as I staggered.

Before I could react, she pulled me forward, her other arm wrapping around my back as she pressed her body against mine.

My head leaned into her massive breasts, the soft, warm flesh cushioning me as her hand remained buried in my chest.

"You got careless~" she whispered sadistically.

Her painted-black lips brushed against my ear as she held me close, her voluptuous body pressed tightly against me.

"I knew you would. You’re strong... but you’re still so young compared to me."

I groaned in pain, blood dripping from my mouth onto her cleavage.

Her purple energy was spreading inside me, suppressing my healing and draining my strength.

Her breasts heaved against my face with each breath, soft and warm, the scent of her skin, night-blooming flowers and starlight filling my senses even through the agony.

She laughed softly, her free hand stroking my hair almost tenderly while her other hand twisted inside my chest, sending fresh waves of pain through me.

"Does it hurt?" she purred, her red eye glowing with excitement.

"Good. I want it to hurt. I want you to feel every second of this. You’ve pushed me so far... now it’s my turn to play with you."

I tried to pull away, but her grip was iron. My swords felt heavy in my hands, my power flickering as her chaotic energy corrupted my core.

She leaned down, her lips brushing against my ear again.

"Don’t worry, Luntheris... I won’t kill you yet. I want to enjoy this a little longer. You’ve been such a wonderful opponent... I think I’ll keep you like this for a while."

"F...Fuck you!"

I weakly flipped my middle finger at her.
