Continuing the Training Session with Mary and Jacob
Mary unleashed a barrage of light beams that sliced through the world while simultaneously freezing time. However, Jacob, unaffected by time-stopping abilities, delivered an energy-coated punch that obliterated Mary's energy and body. Mary quickly regenerated and fired a light beam that pushed Jacob back. Smiling, she said:
"Looks like I can affect you a bit now, huh?"
Jacob remained silent.
Back to the Training Session with Jasmine and Lastnine
Azurel, within Jasmine's subconscious, spoke:
"Be careful, kid. Your master, Lastnine, isn't someone you can take down easily."
Jasmine, surprised, asked:
"Why's that? Because the old man's too strong?"
Azurel replied:
"That's part of it, but there's another reason—he's incredibly hard to touch."
Jasmine, confused, asked:
"Hard to touch?"
Azurel sighed and explained:
"Because energy is fundamentally what creates everything. If gods are the foundation of creation, energy is what was created first. Energy isn't just an ordinary foundation. Just talking about its ability to stack and resist layers is chilling enough, let alone when someone increases their energy to the point you can't even perceive or comprehend it. I'm worried he'll use that ability."
Jasmine said:
"So, all I need to do is hit him before he can ramp up his energy, right?"
Azurel, uncertain, replied:
"Not sure, but give it a try."
Jasmine formed a circle of blood, stretched the blood in the center, and fired a blood arrow infused with energy. The arrow pierced through Lastnine's erasing and radioactive layers but couldn't breach his nullification layer. Jasmine muttered:
"Tch, it can get through the erasing and radioactive layers, but I'm stumped on this one."
Azurel said:
"Exactly. His energy surpasses infinite energy, so it's impossible to break through."
Jasmine and Azurel felt a chill down their spines as an unfathomable surge of energy appeared before them. It was Lastnine, slowly approaching. Azurel, in Jasmine's subconscious, spoke with a grin and sweat dripping:
"Damn it, this Lastnine guy—he's no different from back then when I met him. He's like a demon, a monster born from the rotten society of his world, a world so morally corrupt it created a beast like him. Be careful, kid, or you'll get killed."
Jasmine, startled, flew off to devise a new strategy. But when she turned back, Lastnine was already behind her. A slash from his crimson dagger split Jasmine in half, severing her causality and her connection to her source, preventing regeneration. As Jasmine's consciousness faded, Azurel laughed, lifted her, and merged fully with her. A blinding light illuminated the entire world, blinding everything except Lastnine. A laugh echoed from the light, and Jasmine emerged in a new form: long white wings, a massive sigil behind her, and an aura that caused explosions around her. Lightning struck as worlds vanished as if they never existed with each step she took toward Lastnine. Before Lastnine could react, Jasmine grabbed his face, hurled him into the sky, and unleashed countless blood beams. Her speed surged to the point that Lastnine struggled to dodge. Jasmine spread her wings, grabbed Lastnine's head, and slammed him down as countless spears, spikes, and circular saws made of blood infused with energy rose from the ground. With a deafening boom, Lastnine was pierced, slashed, and cut. Jasmine, with a sinister laugh, formed a massive blade of blood and pure nothingness, decapitating Lastnine with a single swing. Countless saws tore into his body. Lastnine reattached his head, but Jasmine tossed the blade aside, grabbed his head with both hands, and tore it open at the mouth, blood splattering everywhere. Laughing louder, she smashed the right side of his head against the rest, blood gushing. Jasmine bit Lastnine's arm, ripping it off, as the pure nothingness and energy-infused blood nullified Lastnine's regeneration. Spreading her wings, Jasmine soared into the sky, forming a massive sigil beneath Lastnine. She clapped her hands, creating a black hole infused with her energy-laced blood, and fired a black-and-red beam that obliterated the entire plane. Mary and Jacob, far away, sensed the destruction and flew up to avoid the devastating attack. The beam's aftermath destroyed countless worlds, and when a world or anti-world collapses, its opposite also crumbles, causing destruction on an almost infinite scale. The shockwave rippled through the entire world, even affecting the Fictional Layer, where infinite stories were heavily impacted. Mary and Jacob landed and saw Jasmine still laughing, turning toward them with a sinister grin. She raised a finger and fired a destructive beam at Mary, but Jacob absorbed it. Mary shouted:
"Jasmine, stop! This isn't you!"
But Jasmine didn't listen, unleashing an even more powerful beam, twice as destructive. She stopped laughing, turned to her right, and saw a penguin. In two seconds, it swelled to a size larger than a world. With a single stomp, it obliterated the remaining nearby and distant worlds, terrifying Jasmine. She fired her beam at the penguin, but it absorbed it entirely. With one bite, it destroyed the world where Jasmine, Mary, and Jacob stood, consuming all concepts, information, laws, and narratives, including the anti-world. However, Jasmine, Jacob, and Mary teleported to another world in time, only to be pulled back to the destroyed world by the penguin's energy surge, which froze time and nullified abilities. Yet it didn't affect Jasmine, Mary, or Jacob. Jasmine unleashed her energy to erase the penguin, but it resisted with its own energy. Jasmine kept amplifying her erasing energy, and the penguin countered each time, stacking layers of resistance. Jasmine, furious, shouted:
"You fat penguin! Damn you, you keep resisting my layers of erasure!"
Mary whispered to Jacob:
"How many times has Jasmine stacked her energy?"
Jacob glanced at her, holding up seven fingers, then nine. Mary, shocked, asked:
"Seventy-nine layers of energy stacking?"
Jacob nodded. Enraged, Jasmine spread her wings, and two massive eyes opened at the tips, firing a beam that surpassed the penguin's energy, erasing not just its body, soul, and energy but its very information, narrative, emotions, time, and space. Yet the penguin regenerated after taking the beam head-on, shocking Jasmine. With a single bite, faster than Jasmine, it stripped away her soul, mind, and information. However, Jasmine's consciousness returned, fueled by her will to live and fight. She fired another beam from her wings, forcing the penguin to release her. Jasmine laughed and said:
"I'll kill you."
Mary screamed:
"Do you even have a heart anymore?!"
Jasmine, still chuckling, turned her head 360 degrees and said:
"Does an angel like me need a heart?"
Mary, horrified, said:
"Y-You're not Jasmine. You're Azurel…"
Azurel laughed and said:
"You got it."
Suddenly, time froze—not by Mary or the penguin. A man, 1.93 meters tall, stepped forward with a smile. He was the embodiment of time, transcending it entirely. Each step he took froze everything to absolute infinite negative zero, unbreakable by heat, bending surrounding atoms. He carried a staff and was the one who sent the penguin, Frost. With shimmering light blue hair and an arrogant stride, he was Cryzar, the Time Emperor. Approaching Jasmine, who was completely frozen in time, Cryzar said:
"Well, well, looks like we have a challenger to the Emperors' authority, huh?"
As Cryzar reached for Jasmine, everything turned pitch black. He saw a stranger ahead, and when the stranger turned, Cryzar was shocked but quickly regained composure, realizing it was an illusion. He thought:
"Damn, stopping time like this, and someone can still cast an illusion on me? This one must be above me, maybe even on par with the Crimson Emperor. But whatever, his plan probably doesn't reach here."
Cryzar smirked, then kicked Jasmine in the stomach, sending her flying. As she struggled to stand, Cryzar laughed and said:
"Well, you're tougher than I thought. Shall I introduce myself?"
Jasmine, enraged, shouted:
"NO!"
She charged, firing countless blood beams, but Cryzar dodged while introducing himself:
"I'm Cryzar, the Time Emperor, one of the five remaining Emperors. I came because my companion, Frost—that fat penguin—reported someone matching two percent of my power, so I came to check. And to warn you: don't interfere."
Jasmine, still furious, unleashed relentless blood attacks, even forming a blood sword to slash at Cryzar, but none hit him. Cryzar, still smiling, said:
"Wow, looks like you're not heeding my warning. Shall I show a bit of my power?"
With that, Cryzar kicked Jasmine in the stomach again and unleashed absolute infinite negative zero, freezing everything in the world—life, death, space, time, souls, minds, causality, past, future, and infinite timelines. Nothing could move. Jasmine resisted, but Cryzar's absolute negative zero grew stronger, freezing every layer of energy she stacked. Chuckling, Cryzar kicked Jasmine again, sending her flying. No longer frozen, but before she could react, Cryzar stabbed his staff through her, locating her source. He said:
"Looks like your source is in a realm higher than mine and the other Emperors'. How did you reach there? It's infinitely layered beyond our realm."
Jasmine laughed and said:
"Guess."
Cryzar grabbed her head, slammed it into another world, and pounded relentlessly until that world shattered from his brutality, nearly crushing Jasmine's skull. As she could barely resist, Cryzar prepared to finish her with his staff. Suddenly, a hand gripped Cryzar's tightly. Surprised, he looked left—it was Lastnine. Cryzar thought:
"This guy isn't affected by my time-stop or absolute negative zero? Even if someone resists, it should amplify. Or does he not exist in space or time? No, even his causality is gone, his narrative is empty. I can see that. But he represents information and concepts, from a realm higher than mine, so I can't affect him."
Cryzar smiled and asked:
"Hello, friend. Can I help you?"
Lastnine said:
"Let the kid go."
Cryzar withdrew his staff and released Jasmine, who collapsed, barely alive. Cheerfully, Cryzar said:
"Sorry, I got a bit carried away with your kid."
Lastnine replied:
"She's just my student, Cryzar."
Cryzar, surprised, asked:
"How do you know my name?"
Lastnine smirked and said:
"Forgotten me already? Your Judge, right here."
Cryzar, shocked, said:
"L-Lastnine?"
Lastnine nodded. Cryzar grinned, patted his shoulder, and said:
"My gosh, Judge, my friend! Since when do you have a student?"
Lastnine replied:
"Since I left the Emperors' ranks."
Cryzar sighed and said:
"Now that Aurora, your ex, rules as Judge—what a hassle."
Lastnine chuckled lightly and said:
"Well, well, who's whining now after inviting her back?"
Cryzar clarified:
"It wasn't me—it was that Fire Emperor girl, Aurora's friend."
Lastnine said:
"Then you're out of luck. I'm not getting involved."
Cryzar said:
"Knew you'd say that."
Cryzar and Lastnine stood, admiring the beauty of this world's scenery. Lastnine suddenly asked:
"Still chasing the Crimson Emperor?"
Cryzar flinched, his face slightly red, stammering:
"W-Well, yeah, still am."
Lastnine burst out laughing. Cryzar, annoyed, said:
"Hey, don't act like you're the only one who knows the Crimson Emperor's dual gender!"
Lastnine, still laughing, said:
"I know, hahahahaha."
Lastnine gradually stopped and asked:
"So, what are you and Frost doing here?"
Cryzar pointed at Frost and said:
"Oh, Frost reported someone matching two percent of my power, so I came to check. Turns out it's your student."
Cryzar snapped his fingers, and the time-stop and absolute negative zero vanished. Jasmine struggled to stand and threw a punch at Cryzar, but Lastnine, faster than her, grabbed her head with his left hand and touched her back with his right, twisting her existence into a blank sheet of paper—literally blank, with no presence remaining. Cryzar asked:
"Compressing her existence into lower dimensions? No, she doesn't even have a presence anymore."
Lastnine nodded and said:
"Yup, a new trick I came up with."
Cryzar laughed, turned to leave, and Frost shrank back to normal, perching on his arm. Cryzar said:
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'm off."
Lastnine waved, and Cryzar opened a portal, stepping through as it closed. Lastnine looked at the paper, tore it, and Jasmine reappeared. Stepping within ten kilometers, Lastnine nullified her form, returning her to normal. Jasmine rubbed her head and asked:
"What just happened?"
Mary and Jacob arrived at that moment. Mary asked:
"What's going on?"
Lastnine shrugged and said:
"The kid merged with Azurel's power, so this happened."
Jasmine said:
"Oh man, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Lastnine replied:
"It's not your fault. Azurel merged with you, which made you go berserk and attack."
Jasmine fell silent. Lastnine said:
"There's a way to master it, but it'll take time. Can you do it?"
Jasmine nodded with a serious expression. Lastnine crossed his arms and said:
"Now, activate that form again and try to control yourself while fighting me."
Jasmine nodded, took a deep breath, and activated the form again. Unlike her previous frenzy, her expression was now serious, though she was only suppressing it. Jasmine and Lastnine said in unison:
"Let's begin."
