Chapter 93 - 93: Tug Of War
In the peaceful silence of a certain divine realm protected by a soul so large it defies sense, a piercing shriek erupted and with it the power of a high-god.
With a mighty stomp of her feet, Yris pushed herself back away from the 'Fiendish Claws' that appeared out of nowhere, not even minding the chair behind her as she tripped over it, falling backward before giving a 'graceful' backward roll, before jumping up and planting her back firmly against the wall of the palace, while staring with fury at the hand. To her shame, the hand was just hovering there, rhythmically opening and closing its fingers as if savoring the feeling it just felt.
On the other side of the shattered space, Alex wore a confused expression as he savored the feeling he just felt.
'What was that wonderful soft feeling, is this the feeling you get when you pierce throught a divine realm?'
He quickly focussed his mind as he smashed forward with his other hand further opening the space in front of him, he then started moving his arms in opposite directions, slowly making the hole bigger and bigger.
Yris who was still feeling indignant saw another 'claw' appear and her face paled a bit but luckily it appeared next to the first one and not close to her.
"Master, Alex is breaking throught", the frantic voice of Yris's maid suddenly called out, the little maid was right now trembling all over while looking over the from the tea table that she was hiding behind with a pale face and trembling eyes. Her eyes never leaving those 'abominable' hands that would even there blaspheme a goddess.
The maid's cry awoken Yris to there dire situation at hand, Yris didn't even think twice before she started using all her divine power to seal and mend the space that Alex was trying to break open. Causing the shattered areas to slowly close again. She also didn't forget to reinforce the space so as to make it even harder for Alex to rip it.
"Go, Master!!!!", The maid shouted excitingly as she saw the shattered areas start to reform again, but her excitement was short-lived.
"Humph"
With the sound, the shattered space suddenly doubled and half of Yris's defensive formations were broken in an instant. Yris ?r??n?d as she was pushed back a few steps. She breathes were unsteady but her eyes shone with fighting spirit.
"You want to play with this goddess, I will play you to death!!!"
The stars surrounding her rushed forward like a river and formed a circle around the area where space was breaking apart.
"Seal!", She yelled with an authoritative tone, causing all the stars that were revolving around the shattering space to suddenly come to a halt.
"Revert Destiny!"
Her voice called out again and space started mending again, the hands that were still visible just a moment ago pulled back, and with a final ripple, space was fully mended again without any signs of instability.
"Sight", Yris let out a breath of relief, then stared hatefully at the chair that tripped her, but her hateful stares could not hold as it converted into a sad melancholy, if it was an ordinary chair her power would have blown it to oblivion but this ordinary-looking chair was actually able to trip her, the reason for this was because the chair was handcrafted by her master. He had given her the entire set with a table, as a gift since she always liked to just sit somewhere peaceful with a cup of tea and her own musings.
She delicately picked up the chair that fell down and gently dusted it, but her actions suddenly froze when she found her maid was looking at her with horror. She first felt a wave of pride wash over her believing the maid couldn't believe she was able to repel Alex, but that was soon dispelled since she found to her confusion that the little maid was actually looking behind her not at her.
This train of thought sent a shiver down her spine as she had a terrifying thought, that thought was even further enhanced when she felt a finger gently tapping her shoulder and an equally gentle voice sound out.
"Long time no see, my dear goddess of Destiny"
With a jerk, Yris turned around with wide eyes as she saw Alex in front of her wearing a bright smile on his face.
"H...How?", This was the only thing Yris could say when she saw Alex standing behind her, she clearly saw it when she pushed Alex out of the divine realm, so how in the name of all existence could he have entered the realm.
Hearing her question and seeing her Dumfounded expression, Alex's smile broadened so much that Yris had to use all her reasoning not to slap him...again.
"Well, my dear Goddess, while you were so busy with selling the space in front of you even going so far as to focussing evrything you have at that area, I broke throught space behind you", Alex said in a matter of fact tone.
Realization struck Yris like the pebble that hit Goliath, she fu?k?d up. She was so focussed on closing the place where Alex started breaking throught that she totally ignored the possibility that Alex might just use this opportunity to get in throught another piece of space. Well, that wasn't totally true, she had thought of the possibility but had wrongly ?ssumed that Alex would fight her head because of his confidence in his power.
Iris's knees went weak in defeat and she fell into her chair while looking at Alex with a gloomy look.
"Ok, you are here now, What do you want?", she asked in an annoyed tone.
