Chapter 903 God of Sea VS Devil of Water part 2
The creatures that were outside of Sona's Magic Circle immediately lost their form and dropped down into the gold-tinted sea without any signs of resurfacing, 'I can only protect a small patch of my dominion.'
However, Sona was not dejected, 'As expected, his authority over this territory is much higher than mine now that he's brought out his weapon.'
But even then, Sona couldn't help but sigh as she dodged the columns of water that rose up from the sea, 'I know I'm no match against a God with my current abilities, but to think that the difference was this large...'
In terms of commanding abilities, Sona is way above average. But in other aspects, she wouldn't be able to match the other girls. Even compared to Akeno and Irina, who are technically weaker than her, she doesn't have anything special like them.
It's true that she's just a single step away from being a Super Devil, but by definition, a Super Devil isn't about raw power, but the transformation of it and the former is just a usual result of it. In terms of Demonic Power, she's still below someone like Grayfia.
But even though today was a 'surprise' for the girls, Sona already got an idea of what was happening due to the reports and rumors she had been hearing and despite that, Sona still faced the God of Sea with great confidence, 'Some might argue that this is my own power, but since I can't control it on my own, I technically don't own it yet.'
Aruna became curious and wary when he saw that Sona suddenly smiled and started chuckling, 'She's still confident in this situation?'
The Magic Circle that has been contesting for domination suddenly disappeared and as fast as it went away, the golden territory also devoured it. Sona's halberd reappeared on the ocean's surface, but instead of returning to its owner, it remained in its place without doing anything.
'Did she give up?', while Aruna was confused about what was going on, Sona who was constantly dodging stopped her movement and also closed her eyes. Because of that, she inevitably was hit, but 'luckily', by a blunt water attack and was sent flying down.
If she were to be submerged in this gold-tinted sea, only death would await her. Although he's still not sure of what caused this, Aruna wouldn't just waste this opportunity to kill his adversary.

"...Is this okay?", Yoruichi asked with great concern.
Serafall, however, just crossed her legs, "In this kind of terrain, the moment she couldn't contest her domain, it was already her loss."
The Deities thought that either Yoruichi or Serafall would move again to rescue her, but their conversation suddenly took a strange turn.
"I mean, will she be able to wake up by herself?", asked Yoruichi once again.
[Wouldn't watching you be the best way to learn about your power, since you clearly don't want to teach me?]
[...]
[How about it?]
[...Fu...Fuhahahaha! You're an actual idiot!]
[You're me.]
[That's true.], Her other self didn't disagree, [Fine. But don't you dare blink, or you'll miss everything.]
At that point, no more talking was needed and due to a switching of consciousness, Sona momentarily stopped moving and was hit by Aruna's attack.
With a plop, Sona began sinking into the ocean and Aruna used this chance to tear her apart... Or he tried to at least, "Huh?"
What had actually happened was that Aruna seemed to be unable to 'touch' her, with his water not being able to take hold of her. Even though she was submerged within his own territory, Sona became a foreign land, "What's going on!?"
Within the waters, Sona finally opened her eyes that already had blackened sclera and golden pupils, along with a crazed smile.
Ignoring the constricting and pulling forces within the sea, Sona slowly resurfaced and flew towards the same level as Aruna. As if she wasn't submerged in the first place, Sona was entirely dry.
Still scrambling to figure out what's wrong with his ability, Aruna asked Sona with a hint of fear within his voice, "...What did you do!?"
Aruna didn't wait for an answer and formed hundreds of spears from the ocean and sent them all towards Sona.
To his surprise, Sona showed no signs of dodging, defending, or intercepting and just received everything without a single care.
The spears instantly went through Sona and it looked like the same became reminiscent of a porcupine.
Aruna thought he had successfully killed her, but to his horror, Sona just flew out of the spears as if she were a ghost and not a single speck of wound was anywhere on her body, "!?"
'Sona' thought that it would really be boring to play with him and decided to end it now.
Flying straight towards Aruna with a very unnerving smile, 'Sona' ignored all the attempts to hurt her as Aruna's 'weapons' would just go through her without doing anything, "W-what are you!?"
