Chapter 1572 Monster [2]

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The battle that was once mentioned for not having many explosions had now joined the rest of the pack.

As Grand Duke Famas' power reached its potential, his every movement started to cause problems.

If he was in the Heavenly World instead of the Heavenly God Plane, the folds of reality would've been straining themselves to even hope to contain his presence.

The Grand Duke, a man whose power was completely opposite to his personality, was a close combat fighter.

He used his fists more than he used weapons or ranged attacks, which, in most cases, was fine.

After all, as long as he could reach his enemy, he could kill them with just a few punches. He didn't need more than a single moment of opportunity to end everything.

This battle had already been underway for several minutes at this point. The power of the Grand Duke's fists was imprinted into the world.

However, facing Serena, his disadvantage rapidly showed itself.

He hadn't even been able to hit her once yet.

The Grand Duke was a powerful man. It was a bit of a shame that he was being underrepresented like this, but what could he do?

He couldn't even get close to her.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Four needles filled with the law of time whizzed past his body, while one managed to puncture his shoulder and push through.

His skin immediately withered away, making his left arm unusable.

Luckily, he managed to avoid soul injury, so without minding the loss of his arm, he continued to push forward.

BANG!

He threw a punch with his right. Space and time collapsed under the pressure of his fist, and a gap formed in Serena's permanent defense.

Without wasting a second, he pushed forward through it and prepared himself to attack again.

'Good.'

Serena wasn't surprised.

She'd led him into this trap.

The longer she and Famas fought, the more she realized her advantages.

He didn't know what she could do.

It was a bit insulting, but when they'd fought in the past, she was nowhere near the level necessary for him to take note of her presence.

Space still existed. Movement was still possible.

But time was no longer a factor.

In the surrounding hundred thousand kilometer area, the concept of time itself had been completely removed, swallowed by Serena.

What did that mean for others?

It meant that no change could ever be real. Without time flowing to cement and define change, it couldn't occur.

Grand Duke Famas gathered himself and tried to attack again.

His fist did the same as always. Its impact still shattered the world as it did before.

However, even after he succeeded in striking Serena, she stood there as if nothing was wrong.

Her body was impacted by the force, and for a second, it looked like her chest was going to cave in.

But it never happened. "Reality" didn't respond in a "real" way.

The "change" the Grand Duke had wrought upon the world was reverted.

'This...'

The Grand Duke's eyes narrowed.

He retreated backward several hundred meters, only to see himself rubber-banded back to his original position.

He tried to exert as much of his power as possible to break the suppression. It simply wasn't possible, because this effect did not come from something being forced onto him, but from something being taken away.

There wasn't a way to use his power to overcome this situation. Not unless he could somehow create his own flow of time to counteract Serena's abyss.

Grand Duke Famas was an intimidating guy. He really was.

If one heard the stories of what he was doing back in the day when Dante and the rest were still growing, one might even relate him to the Saint Emperor in some ways.

Of course, he didn't have the latter's heroism or purpose, but in terms of strength, the two were equally terrifying to those below them.

That was why it was a shame. No matter what he wanted to do, Serena wasn't going to allow him to showcase even a speck of his power.

She removed his everything with a single move.

The only reason she let him get so close at all...

"...was so I could do this."

She placed her hand on the man's forehead. He naturally tried to move, but he sprung back into place as if he was begging her to do whatever she wanted.

A scar that had long healed but one that she'd never forget...

A scar that Grand Duke Famas gave her in the past...it was time for her to return it to him in kind
