Poppy flew across the air at breakneck speeds. Waving his hand, a torrent of wind and flames streaked across the air, targeting Christopher’s clone who was tailing him from behind.

The clone snorted and stretched out its arm. At this point, Christopher didn’t give a damn about hiding the truth of his ability and directly stole control over the attack coming his way, redirecting it to Poppy.

Then, with a malevolent glint in his eyes, he stopped flying and poured all of his focus into manipulating gravity.

Poppy suddenly felt the space around him solidify as the torrent of flame and wind came his way. Stomping his foot to the ground, the air turned solid, transforming into a barrier to block the incoming attack.

“Black hole…” Christopher’s chilling voice resounded and a tiny dot abruptly appeared right in front of Poppy, with space-time around his body dilating to an extreme degree.

Although the black hole he created wasn’t as powerful as a genuine black hole because Christopher didn’t wish to accidentally collapse the entirety of Earth with his attack, this black hole still held terrifying power and would kill Poppy in less than a second.

However—

The green flames around Poppy’s body erupted with untold power. He grabbed at the dark dot in space, with a sharp light forming in his eyes.

Every avatar held incomparable talent, aptitude, and comprehension, that was a given fact. They were unrivaled monsters with a terrifying rate of growth no matter the field they wished to pursue.

All it took was a day and they could be the very best at any normal skill.

They can pick up a sword and a week later, they were grandmasters of the sword.

They can decide to pursue cooking and all of a sudden, they are on par with world-class chefs.

If they were to be placed in a world of cultivation, they would have heaven-defying spiritual roots. If they were in a world of magic, they would probably be born with access to all forms of magic. If they were in a world of beast tamers, all mythical beasts would come flaunting to them like needy pets.

So, in a universe where talent is measured by one’s ability to comprehend the domains of heaven and earth and add them to one’s authority, it’s pretty easy to know what kind of terrifying feats Braun and his avatars can achieve.

Poppy, in less than a second, comprehended the profundities of space and time, and the authority matrix inside his body began to undergo rapid changes.

A blank, humanoid figure that was surrounded by four divine beasts sat cross-legged above a green flame. When Poppy comprehended the domains of space and time, two blobs of light, one black, one white began to form around the indistinct humanoid figure.

This was his authority matrix representing his authority—Level 4 Divine Body!

Using the power of a body molded from divinity, he harnessed the power of heaven and earth!

Poppy grabbed the black hole with his bare hands. His flesh was torn open and his bare bones were revealed, but the green flame within his very origin erupted with brilliant light, pushing his existence to an entirely new level once more.

Evolve, grow, transcend!

Break past his previous limits and survive to see another day!

Don’t stop growing, don’t stop evolving!

Poppy’s strength rapidly rose as he crushed the black hole, reverting the gravitational around his body to normal.

Christopher’s clone stared at him with serious eyes, and mumbled, “You always keep saying my talent is something to envy, but the true monster here is you all along.”

Laura was in the same predicament as Poppy as she fought against one of Christopher’s clones. Her illusory green figure darted across the city as she hopped from one large vine to another, barely dodging Christopher’s torrent of attacks.

Blades of space streaked across the city. Gravitational wells destroyed many of her plants. Large projections of energy smashed into buildings, cutting off her sources of power—nature.

After fusing all of her crystals, she ascended directly to Level 4 and gained her authority—Level 4 Lovely Nature.

If Poppy forcefully controlled the power of heaven and earth with the divine might of his body, Laura instead went with the opposite route and borrowed the power of heaven and earth with her unparalleled charm.

Countless birds flapped their wings in the air as they quickly grew in size, becoming giant monsters burgeoned into evolution. Pure life energy drilled into their body, raising their raw strength to great heights.

The world seemed to notice the predicament she was in and the sky began to turn dark and cloudy. The plants around her rumbled to life, flailing massive, serpent-like vines at Christopher.

At this point, the entirety of Left Isle was already submerged in a dense array of intertwining vines tens of meters large, transforming the entire place into her home ground.

Bolts of lightning snaked down from the sky. Sharp blades of wind formed in the air. Massive birds cried out and rushed in without a care for their lives.

Christopher, although a being with control over countless domains and had long reached the peak of Level 4, would still be careful with the attacks coming from other Demigods, especially now that this was just a mere clone of the original.

Clones were generally weaker than the original, that was one of the general rules that everyone adhered to. Perhaps some genius could have clones equal to the original’s level of power, but those cases were rare.

What was abnormal though was Braun whose avatars, which are practically just clones with a separate, individual will from the original, have strength that far surpassed the original. Braun was still Level 3, and no matter how bright or gigantic his zenithral flame may be, it doesn’t change the fact that he was in every case of the word, mortal.

Christopher’s clone flew through the air, dodging the arcs of lightning and vines, while ruthlessly sending a stream of blazing hot flames at the crowd of birds flying his way.

“Birdies! I know you can do it! I know you can survive those flames!” she shouted with a flushed face, like a damsel screaming their support for their hero.

“Vines, don’t be sad that you can’t hit him! Isn’t there the saying that you should shoot your shot a hundred times and you will win?”

“Lightning, do your best, alright? Hit harder, hit faster!”

“Wind, I know you can wrestle free from his control! Even the weakest of ants can fight against an elephant with the power of love!”

She shouted out one corny line after another as a strange power began to course across nature. As if the whole world was entranced by her beautiful, dazzling smile, the earth shook, the sky darkened, the winds howled, and the animals growled.

This wasn’t the end of her support though, as in the next moment, a green flame enveloped the sky and the ground.

“Grow big and strong for me, darling!”

The sky rumbled. The earth grumbled. The winds screeched.

“What an absurd power…” Christopher coldly stared at the riled up haevens as the world around him became his very enemy.

The winds seemed to gain sentience as they sent out sharp blades of wind that he couldn’t control. The clouds above released destructive arcs of heavenly lightning, each having the potential to kill his body in one blow. The earth split open, revealing giant cracks with magma and steam spewing out.

Giant waves rose from the sea. The wind spun, forming vortexes.

Monsters from the sea rushed out of the shores. Normal animals rapidly evolved, joining the fight.

From somewhere amidst the sprawling vines, a giant dog and a giant cat burst forth, heralding an army of bees and birds. Glancing at them with a bright, pearly grin, she mumbled to herself, “The whole army is here.”

Sigh, this ability is so fucking broken. Even Laura had to admit that her power was just way too absurd.

…

Braun quietly stood in the middle of the air. His casual white shirt and baggy black pants fluttered with the strong winds howling loudly.

Christopher stared quietly at Braun, his vision clouded with a murky light.

Like an ever-present illusion, the whole world around the two seemed to blend with the past, transforming into a familiar forest with toppled trees and burning flames. The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the dark night with its luminescent glow.

Then, that illusion moved to the present.

They were now in an entirely different place, with an island covered by plants to the left and an island ravaged by the four elements to the right. The clouds roared with rumbling thunder and the earth shook with explosive magma. The waves coiled and churned, forming large whirlpools and massive waves. The air gathered and dispersed, transforming into large tornadoes that swept across the city.

Four months had passed and his birthday had arrived, but instead of being met with a pleasant day worth celebrating, Christopher was here, in a spot parallel to the fateful day where the stars fell.

Braun grinned and pulled out a simple flashlight from the void of space, with green flames enveloping it frame.

Christopher quietly stretched out his hand, and all fundamental forces of reality gathered at the tip of his open palm.

“Let’s fight again, just like before,” Braun mumbled in a gleeful tone, with no signs of fear present in his eyes.

“You’ll repent for your sins, Braun,” Christopher coldly uttered.

A loud rumble resounded from beside them as a bright bolt of lightning illuminated the land.

After four bitter months, the two friends once again reunite in a deadly battle for the fate of the entire world!
