Chapter 1949: Our Trump Card Is Here!

-----

"If we can destroy them, that woman will go crazy and lose her mind!"

"We will make you suffer!"

"Look on as your family and loved ones are swallowed by the void forever!"

"DIE!!!"

The old men summoned their powerful True Immortal Treasures: blazing wheels of golden light, swords of black void, radiant spears of golden flames, and countless other magical artifacts.

However, those shrouded in Void Aura were no weaklings who would simply stand and stare.

"Who the hell do you think we are?!"

"Let’s show them!"

"We ain’t losing!"

Lucifer roared. His two children roared alongside him as they unleashed dragon breaths that slammed into the True Immortals and forced them back.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Ngh?!"

"Ack!"

"Damn dragons! They’re stronger than the Heavenly Lizards!"

"No matter! They cannot compare to our power now that we possess Celestial Power!!!"

The True Immortals charged forward relentlessly. Maria watched them with a calm smirk and casually waved her hand. A black void opened behind her family.

From within the void, something massive began to emerge.

Everyone quickly moved aside. They knew exactly who it was.

RUMBLE!

Space and time distorted violently.

Endless ghostly energy and nightmare essence flooded the battlefield. Black and white void consumed everything else. The True Immortals watched in shock as their weapons suddenly lost effectiveness, halted by this presence alone.

This presence...

"Another Outer God?!"

"What?! How?!"

"W-What is that thing?!"

"...A wooden house?"

Through the gate Maria had opened, a giant old-looking manor emerged halfway, radiating immense quantities of ghostly energy in every direction.

Its doors and windows flew open, revealing thousands of ghosts, specters, and undead howling in unison.

"Kiyaaaaaa!"

"Guooohhhh!"

"Hyaaaaaack!"

As the terrifying screams echoed, their little queen stepped out of the door: a small child-like entity with a ghostly white form covered in black holes.

Behind her stood Amelia, infusing her power into her little sister, or rather, the last fragment of her sister, the forgotten hero who had once saved Azure Star from destruction by sacrificing herself to create the endless loop.

But she was not alone.

Several more figures emerged one after another, leaping out of the manor to join the attack.

"We received the call! Let’s rock!"

Emily roared as she played her metallic guitar, releasing a thunderous explosion that surged across the battlefield. A haunting melody shook the Immortals’ minds and paralyzed them momentarily.

"We are here, Maria!"

"Are we your trump cards or something?!"

Sofia stepped out with Martina. The two combined their dream weapons to manifest a titanic golden heavenly hammer. They smashed the face of the nearest Immortal and sent him flying through the void, vanishing into nothingness.

"Oh my god! Girls!" Alma cried out in delight as she saw her friends appear out of nowhere.

"Not just them! Heheh!"

"It’s time to finally put to use all the power we’ve gained through twenty years of training."

Cheng Xie and Artorias stepped out of the ghostly manor, their bodies enhanced by the manor’s power and little Veronica’s ability to boost Dream Power. The two strongest warriors of Azure Star rushed forward.

"Go, Nyoibo!"

Cheng Xie embodied the power of the Monkey King Sun Wukong. His clothes and appearance shifted slightly to resemble the mythical figure. His divine rod expanded rapidly, growing from hundreds of meters to dozens of kilometers, then hundreds of kilometers long. It flew toward the Immortals and clashed against them with devastating force.

"Knights of the Round Table, your King calls you for battle!"

Artorias swung his divine sword Excalibur into the empty void, unleashing a splitting slash of pure white divine light that struck the nearest Immortal and made him bleed profusely. At the same time, his seven knights emerged as gigantic spirits and fused with his Martial Souls.

"Who are those bastards?!"

"How can mere mortals wield such legendary power?!"

"Uuughh! Aggh! My eyes! That light is blinding!"

"Light?!"

While Cheng Xie and Artorias engaged the Immortals, little Veronica channeled her power, no longer a bright empty white light but the combined force of Time and Dreams. She compressed it within her tiny hands.

A heart-shaped hourglass manifested, connecting with Amelia’s to form the complete Heart of Time, a unique Fusion Dream Spirit that could only appear when the two sisters joined their power.

This was the same relic that had allowed Azure Star to loop endlessly every seven days to prevent its destruction.

Now that power was weaponized into a mass of pure energy. It shot toward the remaining five Immortals, who were already weakened and pushed back by the relentless assault.

"Come on, Oberon. Let’s unleash all our power!"

"Yes, Mother!"

Emeraldine and Oberon fired spiritual arrows that pierced the Immortals’ barriers and auras. The arrows blossomed into countless beautiful flowers across their bodies before exploding violently, causing severe damage. They channeled the combined strength of Yggdrasil, her son the Divine Great Spirit Tree, and the Fairy Queen within them, intensifying their magic.

"It’s time, you three! Just like we practiced!"

"Yes! It’s finally time to do something big!"

"Let’s do it, sister!"

"Yes, big bro! I’ve got your back!"

Alma, Takeshi, Celes, and Celeste combined their ocean magic. They unleashed massive hand-shaped tsunamis from above, below, and both sides. The four hands, each controlled by one of them, pushed the Immortals together, forcing them into the perfect position.

"Okay, daughter!"

"I got it, Mom! Don’t remind me! I’m not a kid anymore!"

Scarlet and Ernestina combined their power. A giant cannon charged with tremendous blood energy fired a massive crimson spear that split into five more.

"Why did we agree to this?!"

"Well, our bodies are certainly the toughest thing we can offer!"

The power of Sirius and the Crimson Emperor was compressed within the spears. The two weaponized themselves, struck the Immortals, and quickly retreated.

"Now, let’s roar together, my children!"

"YEAAAH!"

"RAAAAH!"

Lucifer, Nyx, and Thanatos fused their Draconic Auras into a gigantic three-headed divine dragon. They unleashed an ultimate breath attack that spiraled into a massive, space-warping wave of black, white, and blue flames, combining void, death, and phantasmal energies.

"Everyone is doing their best, so I might as well."

Liam stepped forward and channeled his supreme power over Dreams. He spread hundreds of dream threads into his allies, boosting their Dream Power by over one thousand percent.

At the same time, hundreds of invisible Entities from the Dream Plane surged from his body. They leaped onto the Immortals and began biting their souls while draining their essence.

"GAAAHHH!"

"D-DAMN IT!"

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

"MY LORD...! JADE EMPEROR! HELP US!"

The Immortals screamed in desperation, overwhelmed by the continuous barrage of attacks. It all culminated with little Veronica pointing her hands forward.

"{True Heart of Time}: {Compressed Time Dilation Beam}!"

TRUUUM!

The beam struck all the Immortals at once, enveloping them in agonizing energy that distorted their bodies and tore them apart.

"AAAAAAAGH!"

As they screamed in agony, their bodies began melting together into a grotesque aberration. They fought desperately to stay alive even as the beam continued distorting time itself.
