On a normal day in the mansion where Dranexx and Soral lived peacefully, the atmosphere was calm without noise or chaos. Boredom had slowly become normal to them until Dranexx suddenly came up with an idea for entertainment…
"Hey guys why don't we have a mock battle" Dranexx said with a grin
"Huh!! Mock battle?" everyone reacted at once
"Yes it would be nice right"
Soral folded her arms lightly "Alright am in for that but we can't disturb the physical world with the battle right surely you know how we could battle in peace enh ?"
"Yes of course who do you think you're talking to hahahahahaha"
"Yeah Yeah I am talking the absolute Dranexx blah blah blah"
"Seriously can't you just say it in a way it wouldn't burn"
Akube suddenly raised his hand "How about we fight in that no realm of yours, the one you created last when Scorpy and I was fighting"
Lisa blinked "Wait you and Scorpy fought who won ?"
"I won"
Scorpy instantly clicked his tongue "Lucky win for you man"
"Yeah right this would be perfect opportunity to demonstrate my abilities well to you again kuhahahaha"
"Alright" Dranexx stretched his hand forward as space distorted "I already opened a dimension portal you all dive into my own pocket dimension…I call it No-Realm"
The moment they entered, everyone froze
Soral's eyes widened "Impressive you created a pocket dimension good for you…hold on Drane bby what's this ?"
"What's what ?"
"This dimension of yours how is it so huge !!?"
"Is it ?"
"Baby this pocket dimension of yours can swallow up an entire universe what are you actually how can a human like you possess this kind of power…Baby are you actually human ?"
Dranexx laughed awkwardly "Ouch that hurt I am a human alright don't do that"
"She's right you know" Akube said while looking around "No way a human like you is pulling this off like is nothing"
Scorpy nodded slowly "At the beginning when he created it during our battle I was shocked by how he did it effortlessly first he stopped time we couldn't even move then teleported us to his pocket dimension…You're abnormal Dranexx you really are sooner or later we will find out because in this mock battle i will go all out I will give it my all to make you take me seriously"
"Same with me i am not here to play anymore"
Lisa smiled softly at Dranexx "I love Drane but I will have to agree with them we really need to know how powerful we are against you"
"Yeah sure am the only one who could make him gets really serious"
"Hush you don't flatter yourself"
"Oh We truly forget"
Soral smirked proudly "Don't worry i will educate this little girl…I neglected to mention before I am a Grandmaster, I am the Grandmaster of divinity and one amongst the top 7 of them"
Lisa burst into laughter "Kuhahahahahaha don't make funny joke like that Soral"
"She really is the grandmaster of divinity" Dranexx calmly said "I was the one who give her the name Soral"
The moment those words left his mouth Lisa froze completely. Her face lost color instantly. If Dranexx said it then it had to be true…
"A-Ahhh am truly sorry lady Soral I swear I had no idea"
"Hmmm Well that's okay though but call me Soral I like us being the rivals we are hahahahaha"
"But from what I know Grandmaster can't move in the physical world only their avatars can right!!?"
"Right our main body can't stay in the physical world we will destroy it with our presence alone causing chaos around the global system of the physical world"
"So how come you manage to move in now ?"
"It's obvious Mah bby helped me with that he sealed 60% of my power"
Lisa almost jumped "No still too much how can you still move in with 40% ?"
"Well she had her power split into two before we met" Dranexx explained "50% of her power was used to create an anti-conceptual weapon that can cut through anything and also nullify anything that came in contact…She can easily cut through space time and every multi dimensional barrier"
"Seriously? So you're telling me that sword holds 50% of her power enh ?"
"Yes don't let her draw out that sword because the moment that sword is drawn trust me the final outcome has come…any attack from that sword will bypass time space logic matters just to hit its target and it's 100% accurate to me it's way deadly"
"Remind me bro never to get on her bad side"
Scorpy stared at Soral carefully "No way…So how did you do it ?"
"Drane sealed 40% of my true body power and sealed 20% of Anti-Soral which is my sword so if I am holding Anti-Soral I will be having 40% of my power total but without it I am moving with 20% of my power total"
Lisa sighed deeply "Honestly even without the sword I don't believe I can even beat you"
"You won't stand a chance in hell kuhahahahahahahahahaha"
"I never want to be your enemy never"Scorpy speaks terrified
"Same honestly you guys haven't seen her other nullifying ability kuhahahahahhahahahaha that one scares me the most but i will stop talking that's classified not something anyone should know"Dranexx respond calmly
Lisa slowly nodded "That's right to think she's one amongst the top 7 strongest Grandmasters"
Akube suddenly punched his palm excitedly "Let's get the mock battle started bro I am so hyped now"
"Chill man chill"
Soral turned toward Dranexx "Set up the rules baby how is it going to be"
"Well It's simple…" Dranexx smiled "All of you against me"
Soral blinked twice before pointing at herself "Don't be stupid including me ?"
"Yes baby i will unseal your power if you wants"
"Drane Stop joking around"
"Like hell will I ever risk that hahahahaha you're op true but i will keep you one side this is between me and my friends you just be the observer got that baby ?"
"Alright"
Akube cracked his neck with excitement "I swear you will regret that…Challenging the three of us like that"
"That's what I want if you guys don't make me push my own limits it would be no fun at all"
Scorpy narrowed his eyes "Like you ever had any limits don't tease us like that"
"Yeah you're right" Lisa added "Drane do you even have limits ?"
"I do hahahahahaha"
That was clearly a lie
Dranexx had long surpassed the concept of limits itself. He had restricted his own powers because they were simply too dangerous. Many Grandmasters had once tried blessing him but he rejected them all. Facing Dranexx alone was impossible for any of them so teaming up was their only chance of surviving this mock battle
"Alright here's the Rules" Dranexx stretched his arms casually "Go all out every last one of you don't dull me please"
"Oh it's so on bruhh"
"Underestimating us will be your own mistake trust me"
"Yes perfect opportunity remember you said we should go all out"
"Yeah I know I Am itching for some entertainment guys bring it on"
At once the atmosphere of the No-Realm shifted
Each of them drew their weapons releasing terrifying auras across the endless dimension. Their weapons were Genesis Class grades capable of defining reality itself and potentially destroying planets effortlessly yet the No-Realm remained stable as if none of it mattered
"Now you will witness the might of Cetra"
"Now witness the true power of Atom"
"Rwanda got me cover"
Dranexx looked at them and laughed "Cute…Naming your weapons are really cute so let's begin"
Akube frowned immediately "Where's your weapon !!?"
"My weapon!? Do I have to use weapon too ?"
Lisa instantly became annoyed "Enough don't you dare underestimate us I swear that pisses me off…You wanna go without weapon fine then"
"Oh I am going to fight you seriously now" Dranexx lifted his hand slowly "Manifest…Give me the adapting ability"
Suddenly two black gloves materialized around his hands
The World of Cavalry had responded to his will
Those gloves possessed infinite adaptation. Anything they touched, experienced or encountered would eventually become meaningless before Dranexx as he adapted endlessly
"Shall we ?"
"A Gloves ?"
Scorpy's expression changed instantly "Not just any gloves that gloves right there has something special about it he can't just wear it and face us like that"
"Yeah that gloves is really powerful his level increases just now"
Scorpy tightened his grip on Atom "Remember I got Atom my weapon from him and the moment I have it I got ultimate ability and evolved to this level and I am still growing…I feel like I haven't really unlocked the full potential of my sword power which are also my powers as well…I don't know where he get it from but I believe it's also the same place he got that hand gloves from…We need to stay sharper before he gets the best of us"
"Right back at you Scorpy"
Akube pointed his blade forward "Less talking more fighting let's corner him"
"Right"
"Don't underestimate me I swear i will make you know what i am capable of"
BOOM—
Akube dashed forward at insane speed with Cetra aiming directly for Dranexx's neck but in the next instant Dranexx vanished
Akube's eyes widened
"Wait how did he get behind me"
"You're too slow"
Dranexx appeared behind him instantly ready to strike but before he could attack—
"Meteor Flare!!"
Lisa launched countless blazing stars toward him
Dranexx dodged effortlessly though his eyes narrowed slightly
A diversion
Scorpy was already behind him
"I thought we told you not to underestimate us"
CLANG—
Scorpy's slash stopped completely
Not blocked
Caught
Dranexx held Atom between just two fingers suppressing every ounce of force behind the strike
"Oh you were saying !!"
"Impossible—"
"Don't get so cocky now bruhh" Akube roared "Gogi friet!!"
A strange force capable of bypassing planetary defenses rushed toward Dranexx but he casually blocked it barehanded
"Is that what you got come on man use every ability under your arsenal stop holding back"
"No bruhh Cetra is enough alone because with Cetra I can negate any laws and fate so don't worry you're going to feel it soon"
Lisa raised her hand toward the sky
"Sacred Sunfire"
A gigantic descending beam distorted space itself as it crashed toward Dranexx. The attack far surpassed the one used against Ryio. This level alone could erase galaxies
Yet Dranexx only laughed
"Kufufufufufu nice one Lisa nice"
Snap
The attack vanished instantly
Akube's eyes widened "Ahh now you're getting serious enh"
Lisa looked confused "What just happened…Asha"
"Yes ma'm"
"How come my attack vanished"
"Ma'm that's because your opponent has the ability to erase any form of magical attack sent to him"
"No way can you copy the ability now ?"
"I will just keep up with him let me analyze him"
"Alright I am counting on your Asha"
"Got it Ma'm"
Scorpy stepped forward again as void energy gathered around Atom
"This is weird time to get more but anyways i can't be left behind here"
Dark energy wrapped around his blade as he slashed
CRACK—
Dranexx's multidimensional barrier shattered
"Wait wait did he cut through my multidimensional barrier but how ?…" Dranexx paused before smiling "Oh I see that sword of his enh…I believe he hasn't even unlocked the full potential of it damn…I need to get serious then eventually i will adapt to them quickly"
He stretched his hand again
"Manifest…Give me a weapon of perfect split"
A silver ring appeared around his finger instantly
Lisa gasped loudly "He cloned himself!!"
Three Dranexx now stood before them
Each one radiating the exact same terrifying presence as the original
"This not good" Akube gritted his teeth "Right now this clones are completely equal with him they're not weak than each other we facing 3 powerful Dranexx now don't fall guys…Ashborn Slade!!"
Cetra became coated with blazing nova-star particles as Akube attacked one of the clones
"This is not over I am just getting started Dranexx"
"I know"
CLANG—
A sword suddenly appeared in the clone's hand blocking Akube effortlessly
"No way you've got to be kidding me you're just a replica a clone of Dranexx what the hell ?"
"Don't be so foolish do you think I will just roll over and let you destroy this perfect duplicate of me kuhahahahahahahaha"
Meanwhile Scorpy had already engaged another Dranexx duplicate head on
"I call forth the power of the abyss Void Collapse…Parallel Demolish"
A terrifying void instantly swallowed the clone completely. The space around it twisted violently before collapsing into nothingness. For a brief second the duplicate disappeared entirely without leaving even a trace behind
Scorpy exhaled deeply "Got you—"
"Fool"
His eyes widened
The duplicate regenerated instantly behind him as if nothing had happened
"I already hold a weapon of infinite regeneration hahahahaha be smart like they say"
"No way you're joking" Scorpy speaks in fear
"Does this look like a joke to you ?"
Scorpy immediately turned around only to see the regenerated duplicate staring directly at him with a grin identical to the original Dranexx
At the same time Akube's aura exploded violently
"Alright have had enough now time go unleash…Nova Spear 70%"
Dranexx suddenly looked over "Wait what ?"
"Yes you heard me right…Nova Spear"
A gigantic mass of destructive energy formed above Akube. The pressure alone distorted the No-Realm violently. Lisa and Scorpy could instantly feel how dangerous it was
"Are you mad!?" Scorpy shouted "Did you forget how powerful that attack of yours is and we are fighting in this no realm for fun so we can't destroy the physical world don't do anything that would destroy this no realm buddy"
"I couldn't care less I wants to end this here once and for all have had enough"
The first time Nova Spear was ever shown it had only been released at 15% yet it erased a forest the size of an entire country
Now this was 70%
An attack capable of wiping out galaxies
BOOOOOOM
The beam exploded outward striking every Dranexx clone simultaneously including the original
Yet before impact the duplicates vanished and in front of Dranexx a massive barrier appeared
"I call this Almighty Guard" he said calmly "No form of magical attack can cut through it because with my will as it is activated no attack or any force of conceptual attack can bypass it"
The terrifying Nova Spear slammed into the barrier endlessly yet failed to leave even a crack
Even Soral's eyes widened slightly
"No way…that defense is stronger I doubt Anti-Soral can cut through it…this barrier is powered by nothing but his own imagination with omnipotent willpower"
"Damn it what's this now how powerful are you Dranexx ?!"
"Damn this guy is op"
Lisa crossed her arms proudly despite the situation "I know right that's why he will be the father of my unborn kids"
"Hey watch it Lisa"
"Sorry lady Soral but that's one thing I can't deny I promise I will never give him up"
"Neither will I"
"Shut up now is not the time to be arguing about who's having and not having him got that" Akube yelled "We have a big problem here that defense of his not can pass through fine I will Nova Spear at 100% again I am sure it will work"
Dranexx suddenly laughed loudly
"Kuhahahahahahahahhaha don't be stupid Aku it ain't going to work"
"Yeah if you're not be a coward hiding behind it"
Silence
The barrier slowly disappeared
Dranexx lowered his head slightly
"A coward enh right"
"Yes you're"
"Drane—" Soral called out immediately
"Akube you fool what's that all about just a friendly mock come he's—"
Before Lisa could finish
BOOOOM
Dranexx vanished
Akube's eyes widened before a monstrous punch smashed directly into his stomach sending him flying endlessly across the No-Realm
At that moment everyone realized something terrifying
Dranexx was no longer playing
"All of you come at me"
Lisa instantly shook her head "No am not it's o—"
BAAM
Dranexx appeared before her instantly
One punch slammed into her stomach
Another struck her face brutally
Blood burst from Lisa's mouth as her body flew violently across the dimension
"Why…? What hap—"
Dranexx instantly appeared above her preparing to crush her head with a kick
CLANK
Chains wrapped around his leg suddenly
Akube had recovered
"Have you lost your mind"
"Dimension Warp"
The world skipped
That was the only way to describe it
Even Akube froze for a moment in confusion
"Huh what happened it was as if the framework of this world skipped huh ?"
"Akube stay on guard" Soral warned immediately "This technique is dangerous that's what he used to defeat me when we clashed"
The next second BAAM
BOOM
CRACK
Hits began raining from every direction imaginable
Front
Back
Above
Past
Future
Akube couldn't react
It was like Dranexx existed across all timelines simultaneously striking him from everywhere at once
Each punch carried enough force to destroy planets or even stars
Akube quickly coated himself in celestial energy desperately defending himself while enduring the assault
28 hits
Within one second
Blood dripped from Akube's mouth as he forced himself to look upward
Dranexx floated above him calmly with a massive energy sphere gathering in his hand
"Combastraor"
A destructive beam made purely from rage and mana condensed instantly. Though weaker than Nova Spear it still possessed enough force to erase planets casually
Dranexx fired it without hesitation
"Damn looks like I am saving you today enh Akube…Void Devouring Strikes!!"
Scorpy rushed forward slashing endlessly with abyssal void energy. His attacks erased portions of the beam continuously but it wasn't enough
The beam kept coming
Dranexx appeared beside Scorpy
Fast
Too fast
"Damn he's on my left but when did he get there I can't react fast enough I need to defend myself—"
Scorpy instantly activated his multidimensional barrier
BOOOOOOM—
Dranexx punched straight through it
The barrier shattered instantly though it slightly reduced the force behind the attack
Even then the punch still launched Scorpy violently across the No-Realm like a broken comet
"Enough!!"
Soral's voice exploded across the dimension
The entire battlefield froze instantly
Her aura alone was enough to suppress everyone present
The mock battle was over
No…It stopped being a mock battle long ago
"That's enough for you Drane"
Dranexx slowly looked toward her "Oh you wanna go next"
"Try me I swear i will make sure you regret ever going up against me like this"
"Kuhahahahahahaha don't make me laugh seriously"
"Seriously I will be force to kill infact seal you away and I mean it"
This time Soral wasn't joking
Her eyes had completely changed
At that moment even Dranexx could tell she was truly angry
Soral possessed enough willpower to actually seal him away if things escalated further
After a few seconds of silence
Dranexx sighed
The No-Realm vanished instantly
Everyone returned back to the mansion
"Am sorry"
Soral clicked her tongue and folded her arms.
"Keep your sorry to yourself, are you guys okay?"
"Heal"
A gentle golden light spread from her palm and enveloped everyone, their injuries disappearing almost instantly under her holy divine magic.
Lisa's eyes widened as she examined her body.
"Ahh, thanks! I can't believe it, my wound was serious but you healed it!! Something I couldn't heal on my own!"
"That's because Dranexx was the one who hit you," Soral replied. "Don't underestimate anything he manifests from nowhere, those weapons can decide anything they want according to the way he wants it."
Lisa blinked.
"So you mean when I got this inner injury, it was decided I couldn't heal? Isn't that causality manipulation!?"
"Yes, whatever, at least you're okay."
Lisa frowned.
"If that's it, how come you healed me!?"
Soral smirked.
"My will is stronger than his, okay? And besides, Dranexx hasn't even harnessed the full potential of that cheat skill of his that grants him any abilities he wants as a weapon!!"
Scorpy's jaw nearly dropped.
"You're kidding, right!? No such thing like that exists! That's the greatest cheat there is!! How powerful is he?"
Soral slowly shook her head.
"I don't know, Dranexx is something else, I know he's not human, that much is obvious."
Akube suddenly spoke up.
"God or whatever he is, it doesn't change the fact that he's still my friend."
He clenched his fist.
"I'm sure what he did was to make us realize how weak we are and that we need to get stronger. Trust me, I know Dranexx, he didn't want to harm any of us, he's only worried about how weak I am..."
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
"I'm not even strong enough to shake or destroy the No-Realm like both of us did before."
"That's easy," Soral said. "Back then Dranexx was only paying attention to your fight and making the No-Realm more of a match for both of you."
She looked toward the sky.
"If it was the last one he made for you guys, I would've destroyed it a long time ago. That pocket dimension is something else, it can contain over two universes at once."
Everyone's expressions stiffened.
"At first it was only capable of swallowing one, later on it expanded and became even stronger. There was no amount of power you could release to destroy it because the stronger you got, the wider and stronger it became."
The group fell silent.
Akube lowered his head and let out a helpless laugh.
"In other words... Dranexx was in total control the whole time, maintaining the dimension while fighting and overwhelming us at the same time, right?"
He shook his head.
"I'm nowhere near his league, trust me."
Scorpy crossed his arms and nodded.
"Yeah, he showed us the difference between our strengths and we need to grow stronger."
A grin spread across his face.
"He's amazing, I swear I'll follow him and keep growing stronger."
"Yeah, me too."
Lisa suddenly smiled brightly.
"Same here, after all he's going to be the father of my future kids."
Soral's face instantly twitched.
"You guys are mad! I'm his number one, got that!?"
Akube pointed at himself.
"I am his number one, I'm his best friend."
Scorpy rubbed his forehead.
"Enough, you guys aren't children now, are you? Let's go home, but first where's Dranexx? Is he still in the No-Realm?"
Soral looked around.
"But he should've been here by now."
Akube shrugged.
"Isn't it obvious? He's probably still feeling down about what happened. I'm sure he thinks we're angry at him."
Lisa quickly shook her head.
"But we're not."
"Hmmm..."
Soral lowered her gaze.
"Do you guys think I went too hard on him?"
Akube placed his hands behind his head.
"We should let him be, there's no way to contact him inside his own pocket dimension, so let's just go home. He'll come home, okay?"
Lisa immediately brightened up.
"I'll prepare something nice for us."
Akube's eyes lit up.
"Well, I don't like you but I love your dishes."
Soral narrowed her eyes at him.
"Remember, you're grounded, it's not even evening yet."
Akube instantly froze.
"What!? Oh come on, please!"
He clasped his hands together dramatically.
"I'm worn out from that battle just now, pretty please!"
Soral stared at him for a moment before sighing.
"Fine, only today."
Akube immediately threw both fists into the air.
"Ahh! Thank you!"
