Chapter 622 It’s Finally Over . . . Or Is It?
Queen Titania tore Pii away from her face, a mix of surprise and annoyance contorting her features. "What is the meaning of this?! What is this . . . insolent creature?!"
Ren couldn't help but muse silently about how a fairy queen could be so devoid of grace and poise, though he wondered if it was just the way things were scripted or perhaps her nature.
"Pii!"
Struggling within the Queen's grasp, Pii's determination was evident as he continued to attempt a strike, even if it only resulted in a feeble -1 damage.
"You little . . . Do you truly dare strike at me? My face, no less?!" Queen Titania's voice crackled with anger as she clenched her fist around Pii, his form crumbling into ashes under her magical power.
As Pii's form dissipated into nothingness, a sudden surge of energy pulsed through the air. The room itself seemed to shimmer, the very fabric of reality distorting.
From those ashes, a small ember of light emerged, pulsating with an otherworldly glow.
In an instant, the ember expanded, growing larger and brighter until it formed a swirling vortex of golden light. The air crackled with raw power as the vortex expanded further, taking on a definite shape.
From within the luminous whirlwind, a majestic creature emerged, its form resembling that of a fox and a dragon interwoven in a mesmerizing dance.
The creature's body was covered in glistening, black fur that radiated thunder and power. Its eyes gleamed like twin stars, each holding ferocity.
As Pii fully materialized, its body seemed to flicker between the graceful fluidity of a fox and the imposing presence of a dragon.
With each beat of its mighty wings, the air trembled, and a crescendo of electrical energy enveloped the room. Its nine tails, a symbol of mystic strength and enchantment, unfurled behind it, and each tail glowed with ethereal fire.
This new form was imposing and grand, easily quadruple the size of Queen Titania herself.
The air around Pii seemed to shimmer and warp, attesting to its overwhelming power. It was as if Pii had harnessed the essence of the cosmos itself, transcending its original form to become something celestial and majestic.
As it roared, the very room quivered, and even the mighty Queen Titania was momentarily taken aback. The creature's presence exuded authority and strength, a force of nature that demanded respect and reverence.
With a resounding roar that seemed to shake the very foundations of the realm, the evolved Pii launched into action. Its massive wings beat with incredible force, creating gusts of wind that swept through the room. The black fur on its body shimmered with an otherworldly light, and its eyes burned a blaze that could ignite galaxies.
Pii's body moved with a speed that defied its size as it lunged towards Queen Titania, its tails trailed behind like blazing meteors, leaving streaks of ethereal lightening in the air.
With a single swipe of its paw, Pii conjured a cascade of powerful lightning that rained down upon the Queen. Each strike carried within it a fraction of the cosmos' power, and upon impact, they exploded in brilliant bursts of light that engulfed the Queen in a dazzling display.
Undeterred, Queen Titania unleashed a barrage of spells, but they were like mere fireflies in comparison to Pii's thunder.
Pii's body radiated an aura that nullified spells and attacks, its double stat surpassing the Queen's most potent magic.
With a mighty roar, Pii exhaled a torrent of celestial lightning that engulfed the Queen. The thunder burned with a temperature that rivaled the heart of a star, and the very air shimmered with power.
Queen Titania's defenses crumbled before the onslaught, and her cries of frustration echoed through the throne room.
Pii's form flickered and blurred as it moved with incredible speed, evading the Queen's attempts to strike back.
Its tails became whip-like extensions of its power, creating shockwaves with every strike. The room itself seemed to warp under the force of its attacks, and the Queen's once formidable presence was reduced to that of a struggling adversary.
With a final, resounding roar, Pii summoned the energy of the cosmos into its maw. The very air crackled with anticipation as it released a devastating beam of light, a celestial breath that sliced through the space between them.
The beam struck Queen Titania head-on, and for a moment, time itself seemed to freeze as the brilliance of its power consumed her.
When the light finally faded, the room was left in stunned silence. Queen Titania lay defeated, her form flickering and fading like a dying ember. Pii hovered in the air, its majestic form still aglow with the remnants of its incredible power.
The battle was over, and it was abundantly clear that Queen Titania stood no chance against Pii.
As the radiant aftermath of the battle settled, Queen Titania's once-regal demeanor was replaced by a weariness that seemed to weigh heavily upon her shoulders. Her fiery gaze, once ablaze with defiance, now held a flicker of realization.
The Queen of Air and Darkness, who had been weakened but not yet vanquished, struggled to rise from her defeated position to face Queen Titania's weakened form.
In silence the two seemed to be sizing each other.
Elena stepped forward, her voice firm yet compassionate. "Your feud has caused enough suffering. It's time to end this cycle of hatred and destruction."
The Queen of Air and Darkness, her pride wounded and her forces decimated, seemed to finally understand the futility of her revenge. With a weary nod, she spoke, her voice a mere whisper, "You're right. I will accept if Titania agrees for co-existence and restore my name."
Elena turned to Queen Titania, her eyes searching for a glimmer of hope. "You both share this realm. There is room for compromise."
Queen Titania's gaze met that of her adversary, and for a moment, the weight of centuries seemed to hang in the air. Slowly, begrudgingly, she nodded. "Very well."
She was defeated. What else was she supposed to say?
As the two queens approached each other, Ren could feel the tension in the room shift. It was a tense and uneasy truce, but it was a step towards something greater.
