Despite Velzard's nonchalant demeanor, she had endured countless Ultimate Skill-level attacks.
These wounds had accumulated within her body.
Fortunately, Damien possessed the God of the Void, which could adjust the rules of different worldviews, countering the erosion of the Cardinal World's laws.
If it were anyone else challenging an entire world alone, they'd likely have died already!
"So considerate, Damien-chan."
Velzard affectionately rubbed her cheek against the back of Damien's hand, showing a rare vulnerable side. "But I've realized I'm not as strong as I thought."
"That just means you have plenty of room to grow, doesn't it?"
"Mm."
Though her body was weak, Velzard's warrior spirit burned brighter than ever.
The Magic Gods of Toaru.
Even the strongest among them weren't her match individually.
But together, Velzard had lost... and lost miserably.
This served as a wake-up call.
Ultimate Skills were indeed divine authorities, powers that reached the root.
But across countless universes and worldviews, they weren't truly invincible.
The Magic Gods' power in Toaruverse could rival Ultimate Skills, even crushing most of them.
Only those at the level of the Seven Virtues or Seven Sins stood a chance against them.
As for Velzard's setup...
Over 200 million magicules in the Divine Domain, a Dragon God body that, when unleashed, could surpass the universe itself.
Magicule Solidification, Command Spells, Divine Ring, Eternal Shield, and other Special Skills.
These amplified her base strength by tens, even hundreds of times!
Finally, she wielded the transcendent Ultimate Lord of Divine Ice.
Without exaggeration, Velzard was a mechanics monster with terrifying stats.
In a fight, she was even more frustrating than Toaru's omniscient Magic Gods.
Yet, the Magic Gods held the home-field advantage.
Unless the Toaruverseview was shattered, they were too unassailable. Even Velzard couldn't kill a single one.
"If it were you, Damien-chan, you could probably blow their worldview apart, right?"
"Uh..."
It was possible.
But Damien felt Velzard's idea was a bit extreme.
"I understand."
Seeing this, Velzard got his meaning and smiled. "Looks like there's something in that world you like, huh?"
As Velzard said, Damien did have a fondness for some characters in Toaru.
If the Toaruverseview were destroyed, preventing the Magic Gods from resetting or creating universes, those characters would vanish too.
Unlike now, where death was illusory.
With a single thought, the Magic Gods could revert the Toaruverse to before Velzard's arrival.
Objectively, the world had been destroyed countless times.
But in the subjective consciousness of Toaru's characters, everything remained normal, unchanged.
"Alright, rest well."
"You don't need to worry about your injuries."
"Get some sleep, and my God of the Void will fully analyze the Magic God powers in your body."
As Damien spoke, he glanced at the Toaruverse and saw the Magic Gods frantically searching for Velzard's origin.
Unfortunately, Damien had overestimated them.
The so-called Magic Gods were, in the end, just local overlords.
They couldn't escape their cage.
Even with Velzard's intrusion, they still couldn't find a way to transcend.
"How pitiful..."
Damien had no intention of contacting these Magic Gods for now.
Releasing a bunch of thrill-seekers would bring him no benefits.
Of course, he wouldn't let Velzard continue disrupting the Toaruverseview either.
One fight was enough.
Velzard craved battle, not slaughter.
"Let's sleep together."
"Huh?!"
While observing other worlds, Damien felt his hand being tugged.
Turning around, he saw Velzard.
The girl looked at him with expectant eyes, her meaning clear.
"I mean..."
Damien said, "You're injured."
"Damien-chan, don't get too cocky."
"I'm not as fragile as you think!"
Velzard said playfully, winking. "Besides, don't you like delicate girls?"
"Right now, I'm completely defenseless, at your mercy~"
Though her tone was teasing, Damien knew Velzard never joked about such things.
What could he do?
When a girl was this forward, how could he back down?
"..."
And so, Violet, who was working,无奈地 turned away.
Before leaving, she used the God of the Void's power to create an Eden-like barrier, isolating the two for their 'battle.'
No choice... the union of two Dragon Gods...
The commotion worried even Violet.
She feared the Eden wouldn't hold, affecting the Central World.
"Mm~~~"
The next morning, Velzard awoke feeling refreshed, in an unprecedentedly great state.
"My injuries... they're really healed!"
Sensing the changes in her body, Velzard said in surprise, "I didn't expect doing that with Damien-chan would have this effect..."
Looking for Damien, she found her little brother had left at some point.
"Not just in battle, but even in that, I lost to him."
Recalling their moments together, even Velzard couldn't help but blush.
Though, as the saying goes, the ox tires, but the field endures.
But with Damien's superior physical condition, it was too much for her!
The mighty Frost Dragon God could only beg for mercy before Damien relented.
"You're awake?"
Soon, Damien returned with breakfast prepared by Shuna.
Seeing Velzard awake, he immediately checked her condition again.
"Mm, the Magic God power has been completely purged."
Damien smiled. "And thanks to this battle, your magicule limit has risen quite a bit."
If Velzard's magicules were 160 million right after evolving...
After stabilizing over time, she officially broke through to 200 million.
And this time, due to the intrusion of Magic God power, her Dragon God body achieved another breakthrough.
