Once the affection level is maxed out, the rivalry begins!

The interplay of light and lightning caused the witch's power to recede like melting ice and snow, ultimately forcing her into a small space around Lu Xingyao.

But the emerald crown on her head shone even brighter, providing her with a strong protective barrier, like a mental wall that rejected everything, completely blocking Bai Ze's offensive!

After falling from a state of self-improvement, is it a sign of social isolation?

This was also Bai Ze's first time using the power from Osiris, and he had no skill whatsoever. He simply poured out all the light and lightning.

As a result of the conflict, the four walls of the exhibition hall were easily shattered into dust, and the emerald magic that sealed the entire aquarium gradually became unsustainable.

boom!

Finally, just like a balloon that keeps being filled with water bursting, a blazing white lightning bolt shot up from the ground, blowing off the ceiling of several layers and creating a skylight in the aquarium, which covered an area equivalent to two Roman Colosses.

Fortunately, the protective barrier surrounding Lu Xingyao also unconsciously included the unconscious Xia Yunli within it, preventing her from being harmed by the unknown AOE.

The obstacles above vanished, and the clear moonlight shone down. Bai Ze clenched his five fingers, drawing the scattered lightning into his palm and transforming it back into bright light.

Whether it's violent thunder or warm sunshine, both essentially symbolize Osiris as the god of agriculture and fertility.

Spring thunder awakens all things from their slumber, and the sun after the flood recedes bestows new life upon everything. This is the ancient Egyptians' view of the afterlife, the alternation of life and death.

Therefore, it would be more accurate to call his new ability the "Power of Abundance".

After grasping this meaning, he immediately changed his moves.

The blazing sun, which originally killed purely with heat, has restrained its physical destructive power and instead awakens the vitality that has been spreading in the surrounding environment.

Amidst the wreckage of the buildings ravaged by the recent shockwave, small white and blue flowers pierced through the reinforced concrete and bloomed.

A circular halo appeared behind him.

That was the blazing sun, a symbol of perfection. Warm life force flowed into Bai Ze's body, and even the state he had been depleted by the self-destruction was instantly restored to near-perfect condition.

"I probably only have one hit left. Am I confident I can withstand it?"

He raised his right hand, which had completely lost its flesh and blood shape and transformed into solid light.

Such a simple action consumed a lot of physical energy.

"I don't know... This is the first time I've never been able to see anything."

The girl inside the jade barrier covered her temporarily blinded eyes and answered softly.

After losing the stimulation of future vision, she seemed to gradually begin to break free from the influence of the Dream Shattering Spell, as evidenced by her ability to have this conversation.

"But I can't let my senior pass so easily, can I?"

She channeled the surging magic into the barrier, causing even more sword shadows to appear, arranged like loyal soldiers against the defensive wall.

"I finally have a legitimate excuse to be willful, so I'm going to vent all my pent-up resentment."

"Putting aside the newly emerging women, you should have known what my senior and I were thinking all along. You're not some oblivious protagonist from a light novel, so why do you always play dumb? Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too?"

He would never normally say those words, but took advantage of the opportunity to go berserk due to the abnormal influence to pour them out.

Lu Xingyao awaited the answer.

Bai Ze responded by raising his arm of light towards the vortex of magic in front of him.

Only by not using the Judgment Blade, which has a mysterious effect against witches, can one realize how terrifying their species is.

Even Lu Xingyao, who was known for her poor combat skills, could be enhanced to such an extent, thanks to her enormous base stats.

The overwhelming, nauseating power, like a tsunami yet to be unleashed, seemed to depend on his response before it could strike.

"I don't intend to give a direct answer to the reason, but I can only say that it's related to the negative aspects of witches."

Bai Ze's body seemed to be burning, his skin cracked open, with illusory flames and embers leaping from it, and his pupils were stained with a dark red like ash.

He lowered his center of gravity, pulled his right arm, which had transformed into light, backward as if loading a city-breaking arrow onto a crossbow and then tightening the bowstring.

—It cannot be defended against, nor can it be avoided.

Even though her ability to read the short future was temporarily sealed, Lu Xingyao still had a premonition based on her intuition.

"To be frank, regarding your second question, I don't deny that I have similar thoughts."

The berserk girl wasn't the only one affected by the abnormal power.

Almost all gods in mythology who are associated with life, fertility, or agriculture are linked to fertility worship.

Those like Osiris, who could only serve as judges of the underworld due to the lack of masculine symbols, were even more closely connected.

In other words, Bai Ze, who is using the abundant and masculine power of the other party, is also being stimulated by the power of reproduction and procreation.

So, just like Lu Xingyao, he revealed his desires and true feelings that he would never normally show!

"...This is practically a harem declaration, senpai?"

Even the witch who was prepared to fight him was dumbfounded. "Are you awake?"

"We're not ordinary people anyway, so why should we have to abide by the ethical norms of normal society?"

Once Bai Ze expressed his desires directly, he felt more and more attuned to the Arm of Light that carried his power, and the effort required to use it decreased!

He simply couldn't help but release what he had been suppressing inside!

This violent impulse affected the body, and the halo behind him began to slowly rotate, with several rainbow-like bands of light flowing out from it, as if focusing and locking onto the center of the emerald barrier.

The mere act of aiming burned a tiny hole into it.

"Looks like he's serious..."

Lu Xingyao took a deep breath and opened her eyes, which seemed to reflect various timelines.

She has recovered from her blindness.

"Even though it's going to be a pointless battle with my senior, I'm inexplicably excited."

Witches are, by nature, brutal creatures who revel in conquest and victory; even those whose abilities seem harmless.

Through the inheritance of the Dream Shattering Technique, her power seems to have been upgraded.

Lu Xingyao grabbed the core who had been squatting on her shoulder watching the show, and flung it aside amidst her exclamation.

"I've fully grasped the knowledge of converting negative emotions into magical fuel. Now, let's use Lu Xingyao's fighting style to accept my senior's confession."

She summoned a flying sword that had lost its green color and transformed into a crystal, and ran her hand over the blade.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis... all sorts of natural disasters are projected onto the crystal-clear blade like a screen, turning into a chaotic apocalyptic scene.

"Although the probability is small, the chance of us being hit by a meteorite in the next moment isn't zero, is it?"

Lu Xingyao raised the last remaining longsword.

"This is a disaster I brought upon myself from various possibilities. If I can win, I'll accept my senior's proposal!"

"Then give it a try, that's my answer!"

Bai Ze extracted all his power, even his emotions, goodwill, and will, and poured it into the strike he was about to unleash.

Then, he threw a punch.
