128: Fighting the Empress

The morning after their joyous celebration, the Divine Empress approached Boundless Dream with a glint of excitement in her eyes. “Boundless Dream, I have a request. I have never met anyone at my level who is as cordial and friendly as you. Would you honor me with a sparring match in front of the entire Divine Realm?”

Boundless Dream smiled, sensing the genuine desire for a challenge. “It would be my pleasure, Divine Empress. Let us show the Divine Realm the heights we have reached.”

Word of the impending sparring match spread quickly through the Divine Realm, and soon the grand arena was filled with spectators, all eager to witness the clash between two beings of immense power. The arena itself was a marvel of divine architecture, capable of withstanding the energy of the most powerful beings.

Boundless Dream and the Divine Empress stood at the center of the arena, facing each other with mutual respect. The air was thick with anticipation as they prepared to showcase their strength and skill.

The Divine Empress nodded. “Let us begin.”

With a wave of her hand, the Divine Empress summoned a field of divine energy, enveloping the arena in a radiant glow. Boundless Dream responded by calling forth her own power, her aura shimmering with the combined energies of dream and strength.

As the battle commenced, Boundless Dream decided to reveal one of her most formidable assets. She summoned her 3000 rakshasa incarnations, each one representing a different minor law. The sight was awe-inspiring, a chaotic symphony of beings that filled the arena with their presence.

The crowd gasped in shock and admiration. Never before had they seen such a display of power and unity. The rakshasa moved with precision and purpose, their energies harmonizing with Boundless Dream’s own.

The Divine Empress, undeterred by the sight, smiled with genuine excitement. “Impressive, Boundless Dream. Let us see how our powers compare.”

She unleashed a torrent of divine energy, each wave more powerful than the last. Boundless Dream and her rakshasa met the assault head-on, their combined strength pushing back the onslaught. The arena trembled under the force of their clash, the ground cracking and the air vibrating with raw power.

The fight continued, each side pushing their limits. Boundless Dream’s unity of dream and strength allowed her to adapt and counter the Divine Empress’s techniques with remarkable efficiency. The Divine Empress, in turn, showcased her mastery of divine energy, her movements precise and devastating.

The crowd watched in awe as the two titans exchanged blows, each strike sending shockwaves through the arena. It was a battle of wills as much as it was of power, a test of their dedication and determination.

In the end, it was the Divine Empress who emerged victorious by a hair. With a final, well-timed strike, she managed to break through Boundless Dream’s defenses, landing a decisive blow that ended the match.

Both combatants stood breathing heavily, but with smiles on their faces. The Divine Empress extended her hand. “You fought exceptionally well, Boundless Dream. It is an honor to have faced you.”

Boundless Dream took her hand, shaking it firmly. “The honor is mine, Divine Empress. Your skill and power are truly remarkable.”

The arena erupted in applause, the spectators cheering for both fighters. The Divine Empress raised Boundless Dream’s hand in victory, a gesture of mutual respect and admiration.

“We have witnessed something extraordinary today,” the Divine Empress announced. “Boundless Dream has shown us the true meaning of unity and strength. Let us celebrate this new bond between our realms.”

As the excitement of the match settled, Boundless Dream turned to the Divine Empress with a playful smile. “Shall we continue our celebration with more Wine of Dreams?”

The Divine Empress laughed, her eyes twinkling with delight. “I would like that very much, Boundless Dream. Let us continue to celebrate this new chapter of friendship and unity.”
