Chapter 1444 The Great Thinker.

She wasn't caught off guard, though. She retaliated with a red beam of spiritual energy. The two attacks clashed with each other.

There was no explosion. The two attacks simply eroded each other. The lance of plasma has the advantage in quality and power. After all, the soul is weak to lightning. But it couldn't overcome the beam of spiritual energy easily because the red beam is not purely spiritual energy.

It is the flames of rebirth of the phoenix race created with divinity, so it had some resistance to lightning, and it was quickly replenished by the great mother, so it wasn't extinguished by the dragon breath.

Legion-unity didn't let up either. They continued to produce more dragon breath and attack her from various directions. But she could always resist the attacks with the armor of red flames around her.

The two fighters exchanged attacks back and forth, with no clear winner. However, it is clear that Legion-unity had the upper hand since they were pressuring the great mother while she was only on the defensive. Even so, the great mother could still gloat.

She said confidently, "You can't beat me, immortal one. I can do this forever."

She can truly do so forever. An entire race of billions of individuals is feeding her with energy, so Legion-unity is not fighting a single entity. She is like them that way. And more than that, she has an advantage over them in that aspect. There are only nine of them in Legion, but she is an entire race.

As if to emphasize just how carefree she was, she created a red beam of spiritual energy that shot toward them. The attack didn't hit them, though. It veered away from them.

It is the advantage of a domain that enables its user to wield cosmic force. They can manipulate space and time in ways that do not conform to laws. If not for the threat of backlash that might cripple them, they would have rewinded time to render the attack non-existent.

The great mother wasn't daunted by her failure, though. She doubled down on it instead. She didn't create beams that could be dodged anymore. Instead, she focused on using her vast pool of flames to drape a dense armor around her. It encapsulated her completely and turned her into a red sun.

If he tries to get close to her, then he will need to push her thickened and heavy domain away from himself. It will surely cost him a lot of energy to do so, considering the high density of the armor-like domain.

And if he tries to push her amour apart again, she can concentrate the full force of her armor on him. It would be like a mountain crushing him on all sides. So in a way, she has turned the fight into a competition of energy, which is a field she has an advantage in.

"Admirable," they said to themselves.

"She doesn't have a domain. But she made one."

Maybe she knew, or maybe she didn't know, that their use of cosmic force comes at a cost other than energy.

They can surely accommodate the price to bypass her domain in terms of cosmic energy because they have a lot of it at their disposal. But the backlash needed to push aside her armor is not something that they can tolerate. Not when they can see that what she has laid for them is not a defensive measure, but a trap for them.

Fortunately, pushing and pulling are not the only things they can do. They willed it, and Cosmic force rioted.

The world fragmented and cracked like a mirror. Reality within the domain became fragmented, including the great mother. Her form was sliced and forced to shift apart.
