"What is this?!" Raiden found himself unable to move when a bolt of lightning from the void crashed into him from behid, frying his nerves and causing his arms ald legs to stiffen while ot gradually grew larger. "This is not the same as before- Gaah!" He screamed out when another bolt slammed into his chest, rapidly growing as well.

"Don't look down on me, you bastard! I may have been born human, but the things I have accomplished have only ever been overshadowed by my Master's greatness, for me to be able to proudly say something that absurd can only mean I have always succeeded, whatever it was that I set my mind to, I always achieve that goal, I may have lost some of my fights, but I have always been a winner!!" Dina raised clenched her fist once more and raised her other stump of a hand. "I am mated to the most powerful Celestial there ever was, and I follow the same path of power he walks!!"

[Greater Heal]

Arla cast the technique on Dina after she had already cast it on herself, causing her hand which had been lost to almost instantaneously regenerate, doing so from the bone outwards in great detail.

"Your words mean nothing in the face of my power!!" Raiden freed himself from the constant heavy bombardment of lightning strikes from the unknown, exerting his newly acquired mana and rushing across the void to the two of them.

The man gasped, suffering flashbacks of what had happened to him back on the large world when he came face to face with Arla's hands formed into a pyramid with a bright vrimson light extending from the middle of it, while behind her Dina's hands were rested on her shoulders with her fists balled and her index fingers following his every miniscule movement.

[Your passive time skill (Perception) has been utilized to the maximum effect; time as all see it has become 4x slower for you]

[Unkknown Tier: Collapsing Star]

Arla released her attack first, and the Godslayer before them raised his hands in a gesture of defence, tanking the initial blow and then wincing with his eyes bulged when he realised that the small woan who was suppsosed to be much weaker than Dina had cast an attack that was many times more powerful than the [Pulsar] attacks that Dina had used in the past.

The projectile tip of Arla's [Collapsing Star] didn't slam into him with the same force that [Pulsar] did, instead, it started digging into his flesh, after blocking the initial force that it was released with his eyes widened in horror when the piercing capabilities it had reared its ugly head at him, wringing his skin in a spiral and ripping his flesh open, he was left with no choice but to deflect the attack upwards. and even then he was still shocked when his hands were gouged otu and the attack flew off towards the inner walls of the Dyson Sphere.

[Unknown Tier-]

Raiden's eyes widened once more when he realised what he had just done and how it had left him open.

"This woman; Dina Levina, it was her plan from the start!!"

Raiden ground his teeth as he tried lowering his hands once more, giving up on evasion in this situation where he needed to keep his eyes locked on her, since exposing his side or back in an attempt to evade was the same as giving the quick mage a target to hit.

"Why did I attack so recklessly!?"

He wondered when his hands formed the cross and were halfway dwn to protecting his face and chest.

"Why does she get under my skin this much when I only met her today?!"

Raiden caught Dina's gaze whe his hand was above her face, but as his hand crossed his vision he found that only Arla stood opposing him, in the miniscule moment where time was of no significance, she had vanished from his sights.

It was the perfect counter.

Raiden's hand continued to descend in what he too was perceiving as slow motion, and his left peripheral was alerted that there was something to his side, but with his constant momentum, even whenhe was actively trying to stop himself and counter once more, he could hardly move with the amount of kinetic force he had caused with his emergency block, which had turned out to be the ultimate feint born from his wariness of her.

His eyes found her first, with the mage having appeared right at his side with both her fingers pressed against his ribcage, Dina was in a state of complete focus after casting two simultaneous unknown tier attacks, that too at an already heightened state from her recent divinity reaching the paramount beneath Celestial.

[Double-Gamma-Ray-Discharge!!]

The light produced by the sun dwindled, a massive hole suddenly appeared in the side of the Sphere, Dina's attack erupted like an unstable rotating pillar that stretched from one side of the System-sized sphere, blowing everything in its path to kingdom come and crashing into a star in the outer of the dead system turning it into a past tense as well as it continued travelling at speeds that warped and bent time around it.

"Are you alright?" Arla flew over to her and grabbed her shoulder when she Mage slumped, but a moment later Dina raised her head, eyes still burning with fury before she took Arla's hand off her shoulder with a smile and nodded.

"I'm fine, Arla," Dina nodded, staring at the path of destruction her attack had faced. "Thanks."

Down on the large world, everyone with higher senses could feel Dina's mana as it continued to grow even after she had turned one of the strongest leaders of the resistance into a barely recovering mound of flesh several systems away.

That woman, she is your subordinate?" Curt stared into the air with his eyes wide in horror, seeing the remnants of the attack still lingering while the cosmos screamed and whirred.

"She is quite skilled," Ikaris held her foot on his chest having used the moment of Dina's attack to pin him to the ground. "With that much power, she is now capable of shattering the dark core of a small universe, given that it was her first time using it, she will only improve the destructive force with every new cast, to put Dina's power into perspective, she has achieved a proper three percent of my total power," Ikaris looked down at the man, seeing the fight leave his eyes as he laid there and slowly released the handle of his sword. "She is far from the strongest beneath my hand."

"Do you still wish to fight me, Curt?" The goddess asked, staring at him.

"...Are you truly a god?"

"No," Ikaris shook her head, letting her foot up and cancelling her weapon with a lazy stretch. "I am a Celestial God, there is a difference, you could fight and defeat her who is a god rather easily with the power you have as a Celestial, but against me who is already more powerful than the Eighth General of the Emporium, you could hold your own as long as I do not take you seriously," She stared at him while he sat up.

"The Eighth?" He asked, shocked since he had been boasting of having similar power to the Ninth and knowing the exponential difference between the two.

"Yes, I have already Killed Lars of the Emporium, there are only Seven remaining Generals that I perceive as a threat, the eleventh to Fortieth Generals are also a concern, but with the steady growth of my subordinates there lies no doubt that we will win this war this time, of course," Ikaris paused and looked at him once more. "You will not live to see that day, Ikaris Curt," She began glaring.

"What you have done is unforgivable, completely unforgivable!"

"I know," Curt fell to his knees and held on to the bands that wrapped his head tearing his fingers through them and ripping them off his head. "I wanted to do right, but surviving became harder and harder, the one time we truly opposed them in the Khalla-Boris, we were completely wiped out, but I was offered a chance to let my people have some semblance of normalcy before they were all hunted to extinction..." He admitted.

His eyes were holes, literal eyeless holes that seemed depthless, and his mouth was missing the lips showing the fangs and his corner teeth bare, his nose was only a half, ans his skin had been completely overrun by fissures and imperfections; he looked like a corpse that had been reanimated several times already.

"Ikaris, can you truly save the Vatui, can you save the Godslayer races?" He asked raising his soulless husk and staring at her, and she huffed and nodded at him, seeing his repentant state as a sign of hope.

"I see, this is one of those cases,"

S'mael had Rem pinned to the ground, while Renia and Adonai were sitting on the other two's backs all having witnessed Dina; the New Goddess of Calamity's power firsthand.

"He did a lot of wrong, and he was unrepentant for it only because he needed to be in order to live with what he was doing."

The Jackal-Headed God scoffed.

"If such was the case on Arkadia, we would have happily all died at the hands of the Demon Horde, we were afraid yes; terrified even, but we always had the hope and faith that those who fought in our names would overcome the Horde from another world; if you had already lost all hope and given up the fight then you should have led a charge and killed as many as you could before dying, rather than become the footstools of your oppressors!"

He slapped Rem in the back of his head with a loud bark and growl.

"Pathetic!"

"It seems that Dina's demonstration was enough to kill the fighting spirit of your subordinates as well," Ikaris stared at Curt. "I am disappointed in all of you, even if I no longer represent you as the Princess of my people and rather as the hand carrying the Judgement of my Master, the things you did will never be forgiven.

Never."

"I understand."

"I surrender."
