The two of them, their blades overlapping, attacked Talulah like a wild gale, tearing through the barrier of flames and striking her body directly.
The high-speed blades unleashed a continuous barrage of strikes, even displacing all the air within range; the resulting vacuum allowed the slashing speed to increase even further.
This was the true essence of 'Gale's Last Breath'.
By the time the technique ended, Talulah lay on the ground covered in wounds, unable to get up. Although the black mist had effectively increased her surface defense, the damage had still been delivered in full.
Jean Stardust prioritized running over to check on FrostNova's condition, having no time to scold the silly girl for her actions. At that moment, Jean Stardust's eyes were fixed on Talulah, who was lying in a pool of blood.
Despite the apparent victory, no joy could be felt.
Because the divinity gathering upon her had reached a point of nauseating intensity.
Amiya also stared at Talulah ahead. Although she didn't know what divinity was, she felt an instinctive sense of loathing.
At this moment, Talulah, lying on the ground, suddenly began to laugh:
"Hahahahaha, this is how it should be, it has to be like this! This is fate—the most wicked existence that plays with everything in the palm of its hand, bringing destruction at the most beautiful moment, and granting hope at the moment of destruction, only for there to be despair at the end of that hope!"
"That's all nonsense. Looking back at failed choices from the present, of course they all seem like despair. However, all the tragedies in the world stem from the inadequacy of the person involved. To push your own failures onto fate? Utterly ridiculous! Is this the drivel you've summarized after surviving for a thousand years?!"
"Don't say that, little girl who popped out of nowhere. Fate truly exists. Look, at the same time it gives you hope, it is leading you into the abyss of despair! We have arrived."
As her words fell, Chernobog began to brake to a halt. Simultaneously, surrounded by Flame Spirits, Talulah was lifted into the air.
Although her heavy injuries still prevented her from moving freely, she stood up by relying on the black mist to manipulate her like a puppet.
"Snake Molt."
As she uttered this word, her entire temperament began to undergo a drastic change.
"Descending Ladder."
As the second word was spoken, Jean Stardust also tried to release a large number of wind blades to attack.
"Ruined Streets."
With the third word, all attacks were forcibly blocked by a large number of Flame Spirits at the cost of their own lives.
"Burning Enemy Nation."
The fourth word...
"Conflict."
The fifth word...
"Loyal Servant."
The sixth word; she took out Mephisto's soul and began to burn it.
"Polluter."
The seventh word...
"Blood Connection."
The eighth word; this time it was Chen's flesh.
"One's Own Soul."
The ninth word; she patted her own chest.
By now, the entire Chernobog had come to a complete stop in an incredibly short amount of time.
"Now all conditions are met: the time, the place, and the nine elements. Now, as long as I offer up the soul within this body, I shall ascend the divine throne!"
The Flame Spirits also began to rotate, emitting a strange rhythm.
As their speed continued to increase, Talulah's laughter inside became more and more unrestrained.
But suddenly, it came to a screeching halt.
"Why? Why! Why has Chen's bloodline changed! This is impossible, impossible! Aaaaaah!"
