The Martial Unity

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

Amare summersaulted across the entire facility as a flood of blood chased after her, threatening to drown and crush her in its shockingly powerful force. The Omni-Martial’s expression grew grave as she realized that the Blood Goddess was much, much stronger than the last time they fought.

If not for the Dance of Terra imparted to her by the Shield of Gaia himself, she would not have been able to withstand her opponent’s offense for this long without sustaining any injuries. It was only thanks to the especially powerful earth-bending of the Nest of Terra that deployed the latent seismic potential of Gaia that she was able to ward off the ever-growing power of the Blood Goddess.

And yet, her opponent’s growth in power seemed limitless.

The more blood she produced, the stronger she grew. It was unfair.

Such power was simply broke the paradigms of Martial Art.

Raw power was not something that was supposed to be able to grow in the middle of a battle. And yet, the Blood Goddess shattered this paradigm, increasing the net metabolic rate of energy production. Because she had more blood, she produced more molecules of ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate, which served as the fundamental unit of chemical potential energy.

It increased her energy reserves while also increasing her energy consumption and raw output.

It was in that moment that Rui realized that her reproductive compatibility with the Blood Goddess was truly only half the reason that she was so special. “She’s a monster.”

In that moment, he felt a sharp pang of regret at having allowed Amare to fight this battle to protect him. On one hand, he trusted her. On the other hand, he would have loved to test himself against the Blood Goddess. He purposely avoided using his systems of thought while observing to ensure that he didn’t spoil the fight ahead of time. As it was, he had almost no opponents in the Master Realm who could challenge him; preparation simply skewed the odds in his favor to an even greater degree.

The Blood Goddess was truly one of the most special Martial Masters he had run into. Her Martial Body was nothing short of a miracle, and her Martial Path had greater synergy with her Body, unlike anything he had ever seen in his entire life.

And yet—

A smile cracked at the edge of his mouth.

“Do not underestimate the Omni-Martial.”

BOOOM!!!

The Blood Goddess narrowed her eyes as a single blow from Amare shattered her blood constructs. She hadn’t failed to notice that the Omni-Martial’s earth-bending was unnaturally powerful. Although she was in control of the flow battle, Amare had defended or evaded every single attack that Blood Goddess had thrown at her. The most infuriating part was that she did all of this while constantly being aware of Rui, placing herself in between the Blood Goddess and Rui.

It was truly enraging.

“Enough, I don’t have time for this farce.” The Blood Goddess’ voice was cold as her eyes shifted to Ru. She raised her hand up as a chilling whisper escaped her.

“Belial Blood Style: Awakening of Lust.”

Suddenly, her blood seemed to dissolve into the air, diffusing into the atmosphere in the blink of an eye.

What followed was pandemonium.

The brain-damaged researchers and scholars scarred from the mind-destroying Martial Embodiments suddenly experienced a tremendous surge of sexual arousal, turning them, men and women alike, into rabid animals that began copulating right then and there.

Rui’s eyes widened with shock as he felt a similar primal urge emerge from deep within him, overtaking his rationality and his self-control. It didn’t help that there was an absolutely naked, beautiful woman who simply smiled coldly at him with open arms.

If not for the fact that Rui had once dealt with something similar in the past as a Martial Senior, he would have surely fallen for it.

And yet even that solution of old was only partially effective, leaving staggering unsteadily with gritted teeth as he struggled to hold back the physical urges that had already turned normal human beings into rabid, mindless animals.

“Perhaps you need a little encouragement.” The Blood Goddess’ tone was cold as she surged towards Rui.

BOOOM!!!

Her eyes widened with shock as Amare swiftly appeared before her, batting her away with a titanically powerful blow.

“You…” A stunned murmur escaped the Blood Goddess. “How are you entirely unaffected?”

Amare’s clear eyes sparkled with a bright radiance. “Because I am pure. I do not have any impure desires for you to magnify and prey on.”

In that moment, the Blood Goddess experienced more frustration than she ever had. “Why do you interfere?”

Her voice was laced with cold fury.

“Why do you insist on making my life harder?”

Her blood-red pupils crackled with murderous rage.

“Just stay out of my way!”

She unfolded her body, stretching as she spread her arms, unleashing all the blood that she was able to produce.

She saturated her circulatory system with far more blood than a normal body would be able to tolerate. This, in turn, increased the supply of oxygen to ever cell, causing her Martial Heart to glow even brighter.

It was as though she was applying the Megamind technique across her entire Body.

RUMBLE

The world shook as she approached her absolute limit, generating more raw power than almost any other Martial Master possibly could. She had generated many, many kilograms of blood that floated about before surrounding Amare from all directions, forming what appeared to be a domain of blood.

Amare gritted her teeth with a grave expression as she understood the sheer gravity of the situation.

There was no escape.

She needed to weather what was going to come with her own power stacked up against that of the Blood Goddess.

The air boiled with tension tumultuously as the Blood Goddess only grew stronger and stronger, generating more and more blood until she has literally sealed off every ounce of escape that the Omni-Martial had.

“Now then,” the Blood Goddess’ whisper was as menacing as it was gentle. “Perish.”

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
