Chapter 1141: Reach Even Further Beyond
Maria conjured the power of her transformation once more, summoning its innate blessing ability and transforming her weapons into even stronger versions of themselves, her blades, spears, axes, hammers, and halberds attacked the King of the Depths with a ferocious charge, moving so quickly that he was unable to respond in time, each of her blows tore through his flesh, his radiance burning and beginning to disappear.
"{Harmonizing Stance: Yin & Yang Balance}!"
Maria activated the Harmonized Stance of the [Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable
Abyssal Ghost Asura Battle Arts] Skill, harmonizing and combining the effects of her {Enlightened Stance: Brilliance of Yang} and the {Demonic Stance: Darkness of Yin} stances at the same time!
Golden and Darkness essences flowed from her body, at the same time as her attacks became more and more intense, the defenses and attacks of the King of the Depths, as a result, were growing sluggish.
"How is this possible! Why am I getting slower?!" he thought. "This shouldn't be possible...! No! I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS!"
He kept fighting back more, the resonance of his abilities surged from his body, changing and transforming into several giant titan hands and sea dragon serpentine jaws. They attacked Maria as her own attacks triggered the same effects.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
It was as if the ancient Ocean Titans and the Sea Dragons were fighting against one another. The King of the Depths finally realizing that Maria's powers were very similar to his own, they even possessed the same type of power and divine radiance.
Maria was constantly attacking, constantly activating everything she had, the King of the Depths kept fighting back, his countless jaws firing beams, his limbs striking down, chopping away her limbs, tentacles, and soul apart!
Yet she couldn't stop fighting, she couldn't let this monster drown the world. Within the depths of her Origin Core, something was shining, something was resonating within.
The culmination of all her power, of all her attacks, of all her skills.
But there wasn't enough time to grasp it yet, she couldn't do it yet!
"HAHAHAH! YOU'RE GROWING WEAKER!"
The King of the Depths realized Maria was becoming slower now, he quickly charged towards her, slammed her head down and then pierced her body with countless spear-tipped tails at once!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"UGH! N-NO...!"
Maria lost the thing she was grasping, vomiting her own blood essence, and beginning to fall into the sea's depths once more.
"I... I am still not enough to beat him?"
stages, and as it grew stronger with each level, such stages could be unlocked.
And right now, her true Divine Concept has begun to blossom at the same time as she transformed!
Yet she had no time to think at all, she moved.
Space itself, the sea, everything became nothing to her, there was no longer any boundaries
for her, she moved unrestrained by them all.
The emptiness inside of Maria since her conception as a ghost, it wasn't just because she was a
ghost.
It wasn't just because she had a curse inside of her.
And it wasn't just because she felt empty due to a lack of emotions, or a lack of happiness.
There was something much more intrinsic to it, something that perhaps has been cultivating within the depths of her soul since then.
Something that continued growing beyond "just a feeling", and the very emptiness that also granted her the element of the void.
Maria was never a "chosen one" of any kind, but through all the suffering she had gone
through, and through all her soul's transformations.
This emptiness became something more, even noteworthy of the Outer Gods to notice as one
of their kindred.
{Void-Born Outer Being Embodiment}: {Second Stage: Herald of Nothingness}
TRUUUM!
"H-Huh?!"
Before the King of the Depths could realize what happened, half of his body had disappeared,
as an invisible wave of Nothingness devoured it all.
