"It's fine. I've been curious about these Special Skills for a long time."
"Hmm?"
Seeing her sister say this, Velzard asked in confusion, "Didn't you two fight during your travels through the parallel timelines?"
"Not at all!"
The two had traveled through countless worlds, but the laws in most of those places simply could not withstand even one ten-thousandth of their power.
That was with their magicules fully suppressed.
Otherwise, with their strength, even the slightest release of their aura would probably crush those ordinary planets.
"Although our parallel consciousnesses aren't as exaggerated as hundreds of millions of magicules, they are still at the level of tens of millions."
However, what did tens of millions of magicules represent in the Cardinal World?
A definite True Demon Lord, and one of the top-tier ones, second only to the three True Dragons.
But this was the Cardinal World.
The Cardinal World was the strongest world in the Cardinal Universe. Every blade of grass and every tree here was protected by powerful rule-based energy, which could greatly reduce the damage caused by battles between powerful beings.
On those ordinary planets, tens of millions of magicules, just think of the original Velzard, and you would understand the terror of that power.
That was truly a mighty force capable of shaking star systems and making an entire starry sky tremble.
"So, Velzard, you understand."
Rin said, "With our strength, we could tear planets apart with a flick of a finger."
"Throughout our journey, let alone opponents who could make us use our Special Skills, there were barely any who could even stand before us."
In such a situation, how was Velgrynd supposed to test her newly acquired abilities?
And who would even be worthy of it?
"That's true..."
Velzard knew how powerful Special Skills were. "Alright then, let your big sister satisfy you. Release your desires to your heart's content!!"
"..."
Velgrynd had no choice but to deal with her elder sister, who was never serious. "Then you'd better be careful!"
After that, Rin specially created a suitable battlefield for the two women.
Only then, while they fought to their hearts' content, did he take out a golden ball of light.
The ball of light was a soul.
Or rather, a fragmented soul.
"Still missing 10%?"
This soul was precisely the remnant soul of the former Ancient Hero Rudra.
Well, calling it a remnant soul was not entirely accurate.
At 90%, how could it still be called a remnant soul?
A part of his three souls and seven spirits was missing, which made it incomplete.
To be honest, in order to gather this part of the soul, Rin and Velgrynd had traveled through the past and future of many worlds.
If counted, the number was roughly over 1700.
This also meant that Rudra's soul had shattered into more than 1700 pieces.
They were scattered among different people and had become entirely new individuals.
These people included men and women, with identities ranging from kings and generals to commoners and slaves, truly covering everything.
They also spanned ancient and modern times, Europe and the East, humans and non-humans.
Furthermore, after finding these soul fragments, the two did not immediately retrieve them.
Velgrynd, like Rin, was not the type to act like a bandit.
Taking without asking, or bullying the weak.
They possessed such abilities, but disliked doing so.
Therefore, after discussing it, the two decided to wait for these people to live out their own lives and die of old age, and only then retrieve the part of Rudra's soul within them.
During that waiting period, Rin would live together with Velgrynd as residents of that world.
Those 1700 fragments also brought Rin and Velgrynd 1700 different lives.
This journey was an excellent tempering of Rin's mind and will, giving him many insights.
"Next, just like in the original story, let Velgrynd and you finally settle things."
Rin would retrieve the remaining 10% of the soul residing within Michael, and then allow the Hero Masayuki to descend as Rudra's complete reincarnation.
However, once all this was done, Velgrynd would no longer have any connection to Rudra.
She had atoned for her past mistakes and had done everything she could for her former close friend.
In this matter, Velgrynd had a clear conscience.
"I hope you'll be a little smarter."
Rin was indifferent to the Hero Masayuki and would not give him any special treatment.
Likewise, Rin would not make things difficult for him.
This Otherworld, the Cardinal World, was open to any adventurer.
"Go."
Thinking of this, Rin waved his hand, opened a spacetime tunnel, and then threw the soul sphere into it.
Velgrynd noticed the movement on this side.
But she did nothing.
Just as Rin had said, Velgrynd had already made up for her regrets, and she would no longer interfere in Masayuki's life.
"You're fighting me, yet you're distracted."
"You really don't take me seriously, Velgrynd!"
On the other side, when Velzard saw her sister lose focus, she unhappily increased the force in her hand, directly punching her sister away, then following up with several magic cannons carrying tens of millions of magicules.
"Boom boom boom!"
Even with Velgrynd's strength, when facing such magic cannons head-on in her human form, she did not dare take them directly.
"Although the Magicules Solidification Special Skill is powerful, it is not difficult to break."
Velzard said upon seeing this, "As long as high-density magicules are concentrated to break through a single point, the defense brought by Magicules Solidification will reveal a flaw."
Take their current state as an example.
Once the magicules of God's Domain were solidified, it was like two extremely dense, God-tier crystal bodies.
When attacking such crystal bodies, any magicules below the God-tier would be completely ineffective.
But it could not be immune to magicules of the same level.
Just like Velzard, although she had only released tens of millions of magicules, every bit of that power had been refined from the magicules of God's Domain.
In terms of quality, Velzard's magicules possessed enough power to impact Velgrynd's body.
Of course, if it were only this much, it certainly would not be enough.
But Velzard had performed a second solidification on her own magicules.
Yes, a second solidification!
In addition to her passive self-solidification, Velzard had also solidified the magicules she released.
This meant that when both sisters released magic cannons at the same time, Velzard's magic cannon could easily tear apart Velgrynd's magic cannon.
If the former was water, then the latter was gas.
If the former was ice, then the latter was water.
With a similar quantity, but a difference in quality, there was an absolute gap, huh?
