Chapter 698: Sealed Fate. Conclusion to the conflict.

As a level eight Unification Realm cultivator facing a half-step Dantian Spiritualization Realm, the matchup was similar to a mortal facing off against a Mental Nourishing Realm cultivator. In a normal situation, the mortal would be instantly killed before it knew what happened.

Of course, our seniors\' Intent and personal skills greatly shaved off the distance between the System\'s current strength and Tatyana\'s and Mirrory\'s strength.

Moreover, while Tatyana was at the eighth level, her energy reserves were practically infinite as she drew energy from her original Dantian.

For those who had forgotten, the body she used was like a "body suit," while the soul and dantian were shared between her main body and this one by the singular entity called "Tatyana."

There were no "two" Tatyanas but one with two bodies.

The only thing Tatyana needed to do to use energy with the [Divine Lich Empress Body] was transform her extremely high level and pure energy to a usable one that wouldn\'t explode her current "weak" body.

In short, she had infinite energy because the energy she used was from the demigoddess-tier Dantian.

On the other hand, Mirrory still couldn\'t create and gather energy on her own because it would damage Angel. Angel was still too weak to summon a small part of herself, and for Mirrory to accumulate energy on her own, she needed to at least have a small part of her "body" in the "real world."

Therefore, her combat capabilities were greatly shackled.

Mirrory communicated with Tatyana in less than a fraction of a second. "Tatyana, you are the main offense. I\'ll support you and wait to give lethal strikes. Angel wouldn\'t be able to feed me enough energy to keep up for the entirety of the battle."

Tatyana\'s voice was cold and terrifying. "Do as you please. That thing dared to damage my little treasure so heavily, almost killing her. If I don\'t make its emotionless self scream in pain until its throat is hoarse and begs for the sweet release of Death, my name is not Tatyana Dravory."

Mirrory looked at Tatyana\'s face and felt her lips twitch. \'Even some Gods of Death have less killing intent than this monster. Just how many lives has she reaped during her lifetime? It is at least a few dozen worlds…\' Then, she released a small laugh. \'If Jing\'er were still here, she would\'ve probably hunted down Tatyana since she was very righteous, considering her an evil cultivator.\'

When their conversation ended, time normally ticked again. Before anything else could happen, Tatyana and Mirrory saw the System appearing in front of them with a cold and emotionless face and lifting a sword wrapped in mountain-destroying energies.

While Unification Realm cultivators had the destruction range of several cities to several mountains, high-level Dantian Spiritualization Realm cultivators could already do devastating damage to the surface of a planet.

With enough time, a peak-level Dantian Spiritualization cultivator would be able to make a habitable world inhabitable. Of course, it depends on the world\'s size and other factors, like the world\'s level, but you get the idea of how powerful they are.

One could lay waste to mountain ranges, and the other could lay waste to continents.

And at that moment, the System had the strength of the latter.

"[Elemental Lord\'s Annihilation]."

The [Elemental spirit Severing Sword] descended, carrying the momentum of a meteor.

Tatyana\'s face was stoic as she rushed toward the System and extended her empty hand.

"[Abyssal Strikes]."

Her Death energies outstretched twisted from her hand, creating a complex and beautiful 1.2-meter-long sword.

It was a replica of her primary weapon, [Death Dragon Bone Sword].

The Death Empress swung her sword, waves of Death Energy gathering with her attack and moving to collide with the land-changing sword strike.

Mirrory frowned, feeling that Tatyana\'s attack was much weaker than the Systems. \'Should I help?\'

However, Tatyana\'s red eyes flashed with white lights, and the System\'s expression changed for the first time. \'Fate manipulation?\'

Meanwhile, Mirrory\'s outstretching hand stopped, and her lips arched. \'No need to help, it seems.\'

Clang~!

Instead of a catastrophic collision, a melodic echo ringed across the entire Treasure Land, and Tatyana\'s and the System\'s attacks altogether canceled each other.

The System was slightly stunned, but its body did not stop even for a fraction of a second.

Then, a cacophony of metallic sounds began echoing like a Heavenly melody.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The System released a barrage of attacks that should\'ve annihilated several mountains, yet, other than the speed of their clash. It appeared like a regular sword exchange between mortals.

Tatyana\'s face was emotionless as she faced attacks that were enough to make even many of the leaders of the top powers feel scared.

Her sword danced elegantly, appearing neither hurried nor overwhelming.

Her steps, moves, and strikes created ripples through the air, and her beauty was only exalted even when a death match was occurring.

What Tatyana was doing was striking the skill\'s core by using her [Future Sight] and destroying it before it exploded, a feat that was only possible when one side was overwhelmingly superior mastery-wise.

Only one second had gone by, even if hundreds of sword strikes had been exchanged, but the System hadn\'t even been able to advance a step from its initial position.

It was entirely suppressed by raw skill and combat mastery.

[Calculating possible answers for current combat situation.]

[Error.]

[Calculating opponent skill level.]

[Error.]

[Calculating Reasons for the outcome of attacks, including obscure database. One second needed.]

Tatyana\'s chilling voice entered the System\'s ears. "Hey, no need to think so hard. The reason you can\'t do anything is because I\'m destroying the core of your pathetic skills. An immature System like yourself won\'t be able to reach a conclusion, and since we will spend much time together in the future, I thought of letting you know."

The System blinked without stopping its attempts and different strategies and was blocked by Tatyana\'s sublime sword mastery.

"[Probability of Opponent lying to affect performance, nearing 100%.]"

Tatyana sneered. "Lie? To garbage like you? That is below me, pathetic trash. [Fate Severing Strike]."

Tatyana\'s sword blurred and hacked three times around the System, missing its body completely.

The System was confused, but it didn\'t let go of its chance and slashed at Tatyana\'s neck.

The Death Empress\'s red eyes didn\'t even look at the sword as she lifted her weapon vertically, gathering energy and ignoring the attack.

The System\'s eyes glittered, thinking that the sword would land, but a dainty foot appeared above its sword and tapped it.

BANG!

The tap was gentle, but the System\'s eyes opened because it felt as if a mountain had struck the sword.

Not wanting to release the sword, its entire body was thrown cratering into the ground with a massive dust explosion.

The one who blocked the System\'s strike was a red-haired beauty.

She floated above it, looking down at the System lying on the ground indifferently.

For the first time, the System felt inferior. On an existence level, it felt that the red-haired, green-eyed gorgeous woman was a "superior" being compared to itself.

It wanted to analyze the red-haired woman, but its vision was rapidly flooded with error messages, making its brain freeze momentarily.

At least, with Tatyana, it could analyze the strength she was releasing, but with the red-haired woman, the only thing it could "see" was the four Intents swirling around her.

Everything else was an error, baffling it.

Mirrory asked. "What are you staring at? Two seconds have gone by, thing. If it weren\'t because we want to capture you, you would\'ve died a hundred times over. Also, why aren\'t you healing your missing arm? So much for something made by the Heavens."

Tatyana answered. "Even as a System, my little treasure attack had Celestial Energy. Healing that kind of wound is not something it, or even us, can do in a few seconds."

Mirrory rolled her eyes. "It was a rhetoric question. Have you finished?"

Tatyana smiled chillingly. "A while ago, but I was curious as to how long it would stay stunned after analyzing you. Do you think it saw anything?"

Mirrory floated sideways, leaving Tatyana a way forward. "I don\'t care or know. Finish it off quickly. Its strength is in the Dantian Spiritualization peak, but it\'s false strength. A real one would\'ve been a bit harder to defeat. Also, don\'t you want to go and see Yasenia\'s state?"

The System stood up slowly, the legs feeling heavy because the body was reaching the limits of its strain.

[11 seconds left. Finding ways of fulfilling user conditions. Error, impossible to fulfill. Finding the best way forward. Found, prioritize escape, and minimize damage to the host. Utilizing <Elemental Lord\'s Astral Shift>.]

BOOM!

Space began twisting, and the two seniors looked at its body while it melded in the folds of space and disappeared from their sight.

Mirrory blinked. "It escaped."

Tatyana shook her head. "Did you think escaping me is that easy?"

Then, she thrust the black sword forward, and it "pierced" space, disappearing into the air. Then, Tatyana\'s body exploded with energy, the meridians working over their limits, and she slashed sideways, opening the World.

"[Fate Altering: Reality Render]."

CRRACK!

For a second, reality crashed, and the body of the System appeared in the middle of the torn space. It\'s eyes widening with stupefaction. \'What?\'

Then, Tatyana threw her sword upward, and her entire body exploded with a Death energy pillar that swallowed it.

"[Death\'s Descent]."

In contrast to the hasty deployment against the Abyssal Horror, this time, she wielded it with careful preparation, avoiding the gruesome spectacle of her body exploding into gore.

The sword, wrapped in dreadful Death energies, flew toward the System\'s chest.

It was honestly not too fast. Even an ordinary low-level fifth realm cultivator would\'ve been able to avoid it.

However, it couldn\'t move.

\'Why?\'

It was confused and analyzed the entire battle while the sword flew at it. It was that slow.

Then, it remembered one skill that "missed" from Tatyana. \'[Fate severing Sword]?\'

Tatyana\'s cold and ruthless eyes were fixed on its face. "You had four escape routes. I severed three options from your thought process. You might have analyzed the most efficient way to continue and realized that it was fleeing, right? Well, yelling surrender would\'ve allowed you the help of this tournament thing, and I\'m unsure if I would\'ve been able to interfere there, so I decided to get rid of that outcome altogether."

The sword had crossed the halfway distance between them, and the System quickly acted. "I surrender!"

Tatyana laughed in mockery. "Would I explain if I didn\'t believe that you are done for with complete and utter certainty? I\'ve severed the World from around us for a few seconds. Not even the Heavens can help you now."

And, one more time, for the first time, the System felt its heart skip a beat and its limbs becoming chilly.

Tatyana\'s smiling face became cold, with evident anger in her eyes. "System, I\'m going to send you to meet me. Although I can\'t use you, as the main heavens would kill me, I\'ll break you so thoroughly that you will wish that the Sky Continent\'s Heavens didn\'t create you in the first place."

Then, the black sword\'s tip touched its chest, and Sarah and the System were swallowed in a silent sphere of Death energies.

The next second, everything returned to the previous calm, leaving behind a titanic crater where the first collision occurred as evidence that it wasn\'t a dream.

Tatyana looked at the empty spot for a second, and Mirrory approached, extending her hand.

Mirrory smirked. "I know you can\'t walk."

Tatyana snorted, but she obediently grabbed Mirrory\'s arm, leaning on her. "Sigh, I\'m too old- I mean, I\'m extremely young, and my growing symptoms are making me sleepy."

Mirrory looked speechlessly at the shameless woman she carried, not knowing how to react. "Aren\'t you ashamed?"

Tatyana smirked playfully while her eyes moved toward the place where Yasenia was thrown. To her surprise, she saw a blood-drenched Yasenia flying toward her with a worried expression.

Tatyana sighed, feeling her heart hurt a bit. "That silly girl, she should\'ve obediently waited wherever she landed and recovered slowly."

Mirrory smiled. "She probably came when she felt the battle signals stopping. It seems that the previous lesson was deeply learned."

Tatyana smiled a bit, but she said with a depressed tone. "We were a bit late. I didn\'t expect something like that."

Mirrory admitted it. "Even while paying attention, it took us both by surprise. That child shouldn\'t have received that attack. Thankfully, I can\'t see any form of permanent damage from a first look. Still, we have to ask Valeria to look at her in depth."

Tatyana smiled. "Well, as long as she is alive, everything is fine. I don\'t believe we can\'t heal her with our knowledge combined."

Mirrory smirked.

After a moment, Tatyana commented while looking at her. "By the way, can you kill the human lovers of that woman before my little treasure sees them?"

Mirrory blinked. "Why?"

Tatyana commented leisurely. "I don\'t want this drama to continue. Just kill them all and say to the beast-human ex-lovers that it was the initial explosion that killed them. I\'ll tell Little Treasure later."

Mirrory pondered for a second and asked. "Lea included?"

Tatyana nodded. "Yes. Even if she was controlled, I don\'t want any variable if I can avoid it. Killing all is the most efficient way."

Mirrory shrugged and waved her hand.

On another part, Angel, who just managed to stand up after recovering from Mirrory sucking out her energy, felt her legs wobbling again and comically fell face-first against the hard ground. "Ouch."

She wanted to cry. \'Why is Mirrory still using energy? I hurt my nose.\'

Tatyana saw it and laughed a bit. "Cute."

Mirrory commented. "It\'s done."

Tatyana nodded and separated from Mirrory because the bloodied dragoness threw herself in her arms, throwing her against the ground because of the hug\'s impulse.

Tatyana grunted and laughed, feeling happy that her dear was still so energetic.

"Mom, are you okay!?"

Tatyana smiled. "That\'s my question."

Yasenia smiled broadly. "I used a Celestial skill, so I\'m gradually getting healed. There is no danger."

Tatyana asked. "How are your injuries?"

Yasenia said with a smile. "Much better. My left lung just healed, allowing me to breathe again; my heart has healed the severed muscles, and more than half of my bones only have a few fractures from previously being broken. Also, my other organs and my skull are completely recovered. Oh, my tail is also in good health again, with only a few scales missing."

"That\'s much better?" Tatyana felt flabbergasted.

She seriously pondered. \'Was my training a bit too effective? Any other person would be squealing in pain like a pig.\'

Mirrory\'s lips lightly arched with amusement, and a tiny laugh escaped her mouth; even her indifferent green eyes gained a touch of warmth. \'With this, everything is finally done… Oh? The other children are approaching, they look worried.\'
