Chapter 1335 Final Battle [5]

Chapter 1335 Final Battle [5]

Rose Adelaire.

Among Damien's wives, her origin was the least impressive.

She was a princess of a great Empire on Apeiron, sure, but that was the extent of it. The number of people in similar positions to her across the universe was in the millions, if not more.

Her affinities also weren't anything to brag about.

A wind affinity and an illusion affinity, while the latter was definitely rare, it wasn't all that special, at least not in the way it was usually perceived.

Because at the end of the day, illusions were just illusions. Higher caliber experts could see through them all with their perception abilities no matter what kind of strength was poured into them. n--o.-v..E-(l-.b-/1/-n

Elena was from Earth, but her origins were mysterious and connected to a race long extinct from Grand Heavens Boundary. As for Ruyue, while she also had common origins in the grand scheme of things, she was blessed with an absolute Yin affinity that destined her for greatness.

In comparison, Rose was nothing.

It was the same with her personality. She was always reserved and understanding. She never seemed to have strong opinions of her own, and even when she did, she never truly acted assertive enough for people to take her seriously.

Some people called her bland, some said she was just a shell of a person acting as if she had everything, but...

How could they know?

How could they know the kinds of thoughts in her heart?

If they were talking about the version of her who existed as a princess in Apeiron, they would be correct. That version of her was confused, and even after meeting Damien, it took a long time for that confusion to clear up.

Everyone seemed to have a role, and she desperately tried to find hers. Because of that, she allowed people to walk over her, and she maintained her position for the sake of balance in all things.

She only later realized that was the wrong path.

Whether it be in her mindset or her abilities, stability wasn't right for her.

She had to embrace chaos.

The Rose Adelaire that people couldn't see was a monster. She was someone with such a calculative mind that even old experts like Luciel would find themselves losing ground against her, and on the battlefield, she knew exactly how to end battles by forcing the enemies to endure the things they wanted to face the least.

Rose originally had a common destiny. She was meant to live in Apeiron for the rest of her life, not really achieving much more than that planet's expectations.

However, she changed that destiny with her own hands.

She took hold of her illusion affinity and found a path to make it far greater than it should have ever been, using properties similar to Ruyue's Yin, and she learned to read the future and absolutely understand the hearts of others by spending time observing them.

She took in everything around her and made it her own, and somehow, by her own efforts, she rose to a position indispensable to the universe.

She was someone others adored, and she was someone others wished to be.

But that didn't matter to her.

They were already trapped in the Empress' web.

Their own attacks became their enemies. Anything they sent would be multiplied and sent back without delay. The mana within their bodies refused to follow their commands, and the environment would constrict and contract to defy any expectations they had for it.

It was hard to describe such a fighting style in words, but it was a magnificent scene to witness.

Because Rose did nothing.

She merely sat in the middle of that domain and watched them struggle from her imperial throne.

Yet, despite her inaction, the enemies who outnumbered her twelve to one and were supposed to have strength matching hers could not even approach her.

This was the position of an Empress, the position she'd desired and worked towards for so long.

And though she didn't know it, her power, the power over reality she'd established through illusions...

...was extremely reminiscent of Damien's power over Existence.

Scarily so.

A woman who was never fated to accomplish anything accomplished more than anything those around her could even dream of.

This was what it meant to fight against fate.

She didn't even know of Damien's new mission, but she was the one who was closest to walking the first steps on that path.

Perhaps that was why...?

No matter how much time passed or how they changed and grew, Rose was always at the top of the hierarchy between wives.

She was always the first wife who could represent the three of them with confidence.

And right now, she was the Grand Commander who oversaw this entire war.

"Hmm, I finished earlier than expected..."

Twelve Supremes couldn't last more than ten minutes against her.

Since she now found herself with a surplus of time...

"...should I go help, or...?"

She smiled as an idea came to mind.

"Yeah, let's do that instead."

She hadn't had fun in a very long time, so didn't she deserve a bit right now?

She was going to do something extremely amusing.

So amusing that even Damien, who was watching from beyond existence, was chuckling uncontrollably as he watched it happen!
