Artis replied directly.
At this moment, Christine had retreated slightly, but she was still within the range of the shockwaves from their previous attacks.
Christine gripped the hilt of the Black Gold Divine Sword with both hands and swept it upward from below, intending to directly block Rivev and Artis's attacks head-on.
As her sword swept upward, countless strands of black aura behind Christine condensed into a massive black sword over ten meters long.
The condensed black sword carried terrifying energy as it swept upward along with Christine's divine sword.
Under this massive black sword, space only split open with a tiny crack, showing no sign of shattering at all. This alone was enough to demonstrate just how concentrated the energy of Christine's move was.
In almost the blink of an eye, the three attacks collided.
"Boom~~~"
Terrifying energy instantly exploded outward in all directions.
Space shattered beneath the three-way clash, forming a huge spatial hole dozens of meters wide, with dazzling Space Turbulence clearly visible within.
The dispersed energy directly killed members of the Four Divine Beast Family and Fallen God Angels fighting in a melee over a hundred meters away.
Even the God-level spectators could feel the energy brushing past their faces, and every one of them turned pale.
At that moment, when Rivev's attack collided with Christine's sweeping strike, it was as though it had been struck by some terrifying force. Even the hand gripping his saber went numb.
His entire body was sent flying backward uncontrollably by that force.
For a moment, Rivev's mind went blank. What was going on?
His previous strike had contained almost no restraint; it could be called his strongest attack. Moreover, he had launched it in coordination with Artis. Yet even so, he had been sent flying?
At the same time, Rivev looked toward Artis.
Their overall strength was roughly equal, but Artis was, after all, from the Black Mountain Giant Clan. Whether in body or strength, he was exceptionally terrifying. In material attacks and defense, Rivev was indeed slightly weaker than Artis.
Yet Artis had not gained the upper hand either.
Although he had not been sent flying like Rivev, Artis had still staggered back two steps. Even the iron hammer in his hand had been deeply slashed with a sword mark by that strike.
From Artis's expression, he seemed equally unable to react.
Looking at Christine, her delicate, slender figure stood quietly in mid-air. Black light flickered in her eyes, while her Twelve Black Feather Wings emitted incomprehensible golden patterns.
Those golden patterns seemed to continuously generate some kind of energy, endlessly swirling around Christine.
Rivev and Artis were not the only ones who had failed to anticipate this outcome. Almost every expert watching the battle had yet to process what had happened.
They knew Christine was powerful. Otherwise, she could not possibly have obtained a Sovereign Artifact.
But facing two opponents alone, she had blocked the attacks of two Peak Asura experts head-on and even gained the advantage?
How was that possible?
Even some Overgods were immensely surprised.
They did not know Christine, but they knew Artis and Rivev's strength very well. With the two using Sovereign's Might and Sovereign Artifacts, no one besides Paragon High Gods or High Gods suspected to be Paragons could possibly block them so casually.
This Christine was incredibly strong.
Especially Christine's body, which did not seem as "frail" as that of an ordinary Fallen God Angel. Otherwise, she could not possibly possess such powerful material attacks.
Aside from Profound Mysteries and special methods of use, the most important factor behind powerful material attacks was one's physical foundation!
Take Artis, for example. A large part of the reason his material attacks were so powerful was because of his formidable body.
Throughout the Divine Planes, the most obvious example of this was Heimusi. Relying on his powerful body and strength, even after fusing four Profound Mysteries, his material attacks could reach the Paragon level.
"Y-you, how is this possible?!"
Rivev stared at Christine in utter shock.
Christine could not be bothered to respond to Rivev. She raised the Black Gold Divine Sword again and instantly charged toward him.
Although Rivev possessed a Material Attack Sovereign Artifact, Christine considered him easier to deal with than Artis.
"Artis!"
Rivev immediately sent a Voice Transmission. At the same time, he used his Sovereign Artifact to resist Christine's attacks as best he could.
After the previous clash, he understood that if he faced Christine alone, he truly might not be her match. This woman's material attacks were absurdly powerful!
Damn it, could she be a Paragon?
He did not know the true nature of angels, nor did he know the true strength of a Paragon. He only knew that Paragons were invincible. Christine did not seem like a Paragon to him, but she probably was not far from one.
After all, he believed that only Paragons and experts suspected to be Paragons could surpass him in strength.
Artis's thoughts at this moment were not much different from Rivev's, and he too was deeply shocked.
How had the Four Divine Beast Family provoked such a powerful Fallen God Angel? Had he known this Fallen God Angel was so terrifyingly strong, he would never have come here.
But it was too late to say anything now.
They could only find a way to end this battle as quickly as possible.
"Rivev, I'll get close and use Gravity Space to restrain her. Find an opportunity to cut off her wings!"
Artis directly sent a Voice Transmission.
For Fallen God Angels and Light God Angels, their wings provided an immense boost to their strength. This was experience they had gained from fighting all kinds of God Angels before.
As long as they severed one of their opponent's wings, a God Angel's strength would almost be halved.
"Alright!"
Rivev did not refuse. His body then transformed into a long water-blue streak of light and directly coiled toward Christine.
Artis's body instantly expanded as well, transforming into a black mountain a hundred meters tall. The mountain crashed down from the sky toward Christine, while a powerful gravitational force instantly enveloped the surroundings.
This was the talent of his Black Mountain Giant Clan: controlling Gravity Space. Its power was greatest when controlled in his true form.
However, when controlling Gravity Space in his true form, it was difficult to use any moves besides defense. Therefore, he normally would not use this move.
"Trifling skill."
Christine remained expressionless. Her wings trembled slightly, and the golden patterns upon them changed in a strange manner, forming a new shape.
As this new pattern appeared, golden light emerged, and the gravitational force around her was instantly neutralized.
Then, without slowing down, Christine charged directly toward Rivev.
"Impossible!"
Seeing Christine effortlessly neutralize his Gravity Space, Artis could not help but cry out, "Rivev, be careful!"
Rivev had been watching Christine all along. How could he have failed to notice this change? He cursed inwardly as well.
However, he had no good options at the moment. He could only forcefully raise his Sovereign Artifact and battle Christine.
For a time, countless spatial cracks erupted through the air. Whether they were members of the Four Divine Beast Family or Fallen God Angels, everyone kept far away from where the two were fighting.
"Christine's strength seems to be somewhat weaker than before."
After Christine and Rivev began fighting, Ofu turned his attention toward Christine.
At first, when Christine had sent Rivev and Artis flying with one strike, even he had been somewhat surprised. The power of that strike should have exceeded either Rivev or Artis's attacks by more than a hundred times.
That was not merely the result of individually fusing six Profound Mysteries.
After all, both Rivev and Artis possessed powerful bodies. Rivev's body was slightly weaker, yet it was still at the level of a High-level Sovereign Artifact. Artis's was even somewhat stronger than a High-level Sovereign Artifact.
For Christine to send both of them flying with one strike, she could only have accomplished it through Profound Mystery Fusion surpassing theirs, along with an even greater advantage in physical strength.
Christine's body likely surpassed that of ordinary God-level beings. Compared to some Super Divine Beasts, the gap was probably not very large.
But Ofu soon discovered that after enduring Artis's Gravity Space, Christine's material attacks had become much weaker than before.
Although they still surpassed Rivev's, the difference now seemed to come solely from their Profound Mysteries. It was no longer as overwhelming as it had been at the beginning.
As Rivev fought Christine, he naturally discovered that her material attacks were weaker than before. He assumed Christine had been restricted by Artis.
However, his attacks were still far inferior to Christine's. If not for the hardness of his Sovereign Artifact, he would already have fallen.
Even so, his situation was becoming increasingly dire.
Christine's strength had exceeded his expectations.
"Artis! Move!"
Rivev was sent flying backward uncontrollably after Christine split him open with a sword strike, blood at the corner of his mouth.
By now, after Christine's barrage of attacks, Rivev had already suffered internal injuries. At this rate, he could not possibly be Christine's match.
Artis had already returned to his previous state. Although Christine and Rivev had exchanged many blows, very little time had actually passed.
"Die!"
Standing on the ground, Artis shot a transparent wave of light from his eyes, which directly entered Christine's body.
His Soul Attack was very weak, and he had no intention of using it to affect Christine. He merely wanted to use the Soul Attack to buy Rivev some time to recover from his injuries.
Soul Attacks were extremely fast and difficult to evade.
After the Soul Attack struck Christine, she merely paused for a moment, almost completely unaffected.
"Soul Venom!"
During that brief instant, Rivev did not recover from his injuries. Instead, he directly formed the phantom of a huge white serpent nearly a hundred meters long behind him.
He was a divine beast Water Snake, so naturally, he possessed his own Talent Divine Power.
In an instant, the white phantom fired a gray Light Sword that shot directly toward Christine.
Christine's speed was exceedingly terrifying. She instantly retreated backward, and without Artis's restraint, this speed even exceeded the speed she had displayed at the beginning.
Yet even so, she was struck by Rivev's Soul Venom.
At the same time, the golden patterns on Christine's Twelve Wings changed again. However, after this change, the energy they emitted flowed into Christine's body.
"Attack!"
Rivev and Artis sent Voice Transmissions almost simultaneously, then both charged toward Christine.
But in the next second, Christine opened her eyes.
Rivev's Soul Venom had not affected her in the slightest.
"It is time to end this."
Christine's voice was cold.
As the patterns on her wings returned to their previous form, Christine's speed became terrifying once more.
The Black Gold Divine Sword in her hand erupted with a terrifying aura as she moved between the two with an absolute advantage in speed.
If Artis were still using his strongest Gravity Space, it might have taken her a little time to kill them. But now, they had brought death upon themselves.
Christine's speed now almost completely crushed the two of them. Even compared with Peak Asuras among Wind Element Super Divine Beasts, she would hold the advantage.
"NO~~~"
Soon, amid an angry roar, Christine cleaved the unable-to-dodge Rivev in half with a single sword strike. Even though he had avoided having his head cut off, Artis could not save him under such circumstances.
Rivev's strength was not bad, but Christine was simply too fast.
Furthermore, Christine's attacks were already somewhat stronger than Rivev's. Once he made a mistake, he was in danger of falling.
"Save me!"
Rivev immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Artis.
Artis did not stand by and watch. At this moment, he understood clearly that once Rivev was killed, he too would almost certainly be unable to escape Christine's hands.
What Twelve-winged Fallen Divine Angel was this?!
Even facing a battle formation formed by Twelve-winged Fallen Divine Angels would not have put him under this much pressure.
In particular, Christine's speed now was simply beyond their comprehension.
However, there was also a question in his heart that he was temporarily unable to think through. Christine was no longer displaying the terrifying material attacks she had shown at the beginning.
Although Artis had already attacked with all his strength, Rivev was still struck by Christine's sword, his head shattered, and he completely fell.
After Rivev fell, Christine looked toward Artis. At the same time, the patterns on the wings behind her suddenly changed into the original black-and-gold intertwined appearance.
"Your turn."
