"Ha ha ha ha!"
Fang Li's declaration not only failed to anger the Scarlet God, but instead made her laugh with delight.
Thanks to Aria's childlike voice, that laughter sounded even sweeter than music.
Yet within that pleasant voice lay a sense of power enough to freeze one's entire body.
"So, you intend to fight me in order to win back your precious companion?"
The Scarlet God smiled happily.
"Fine. That's for the best."
"After all, this is love too."
A scarlet glow began to shine faintly around Aria's body, enveloping her silhouette.
Though the light was not especially intense, it made the very air begin to blur.
Fang Li could feel it with perfect clarity.
The Scarlet God's presence was swelling as it burned, like a flame.
Just like the sense of presence Fang Li had felt before, the Scarlet God's aura was at least twice that of Sun and Bami.
"Although Aria's physical strength is still far inferior to Sun's and Bami's, and she would certainly be killed in an instant if she fought you at close range, in terms of Esper power, she is now in her best condition. Whether it is the Ruyi Staff, the Somersault Cloud, or the Chronicle Mirror, I can wield them as easily as my own limbs!"
The Scarlet God in that state could undoubtedly only be stronger.
Sun and Bami had both been powerful, but their strength had been their own. The Scarlet Gold power they could use had been limited to the Ruyi Staff and the Somersault Cloud.
Aria herself was not strong, but her completion as the Scarlet God was the highest. She was a genuine perfect form.
Therefore, so long as she used Aria's body, the Scarlet God could freely wield Scarlet Gold's beyond-specification power.
