章 131: ch-129 the battle continue
The wasteland lay in utter disarray, its once-proud expanse reduced to fractured earth and fading embers of celestial energy. The air shimmered with remnants of the fierce battle, crackling with raw power that had yet to dissipate. In the heart of the ruins stood Raghav Ye King, his form exuding dominance despite the sweat trailing down his forehead and the faint rise and fall of his chest from exertion.
Before him, the four goddesses knelt in silence. Not out of defeat, but something deeper—a recognition, a harmony. Their divine eyes held not hatred, but reverence, their breaths caught by the unyielding strength of the man who had forced even their celestial forms to yield.
Aeloria, Goddess of Light and Creation, gazed at Raghav with an uncharacteristic softness. Her once-golden armor bore cracks, her radiant dress shredded by the ferocity of their fight. Yet, her celestial beauty seemed untouched, enhanced by the fire of admiration in her golden eyes. "Raghav Ye King... you wield power that transcends comprehension," she said, her voice gentle, almost awed. "Strength such as yours does not merely destroy—it redefines the world itself."
Raghav's Byaku-Rinnegan glowed faintly, its energy pulsing like a heartbeat as he regarded the goddess. "Power alone is meaningless without purpose," he replied, his voice steady and resolute. "I fight to forge a path that the universe cannot ignore. It is not strength I wield—it is conviction."
Nytheris, Goddess of Shadow and Destruction, lowered her veiled face, a wry smile playing at her lips despite the cuts that adorned her ethereal skin. Her dark aura flickered, weak yet steadfast, mirroring the quiet intensity in her violet eyes. "Conviction indeed," she murmured, her tone laced with intrigue. "You broke through my shadows, pierced the void I command... and yet you remain untouchable. Such willpower, such raw defiance... it is intoxicating."
Nyxara, Goddess of Celestial Sword Aura, leaned on her broken sword, her crimson hair falling in disarray across her pale face. Her torn armor revealed scars left by Raghav's relentless attacks, yet her lips curved into a soft smile. "You fight not as a warrior, but as a force of nature," she said. "I have seen countless battles, but none like this. You are not a man, Raghav—you are something far greater. How can we not be drawn to such magnificence?"
Even Solara, Goddess of Eternal Mana Core, who had maintained a stoic facade throughout their fight, now allowed herself a soft laugh. Her shimmering robes were tattered, her divine staff resting limply in her trembling hands. Yet her emerald eyes glowed with newfound admiration. "You challenged us without fear, not as an enemy, but as a being who seeks to surpass even the gods. It is rare to encounter someone who holds such mastery over their existence."
Raghav stood motionless as their words washed over him, his expression calm, though the faintest flicker of warmth touched his eyes. "You speak of admiration," he said quietly. "Yet your power remains undeniable. Do not think for a moment that this is the end."
Aeloria chuckled softly, the melodic sound filling the air like the first rays of dawn after a storm. "Perhaps it is not the end, but it is certainly a beginning," she said, her golden gaze never leaving Raghav's. "I see now why the universe bends to your will."
Nytheris's smile grew, sly and teasing. "You've humbled us, Raghav Ye King. And for that, we cannot help but be... captivated."
"Enough," Raghav said sharply, though his tone held no malice. He raised a hand, and the faint glow of his Symbol of Nexus: Eternal Unity spread across his body, its harmonious energy radiating outward. "I have no time for games of affection or awe. My path is one of purpose, not indulgence."
Yet even as he spoke, there was no denying the magnetism that had drawn the goddesses to him. They exchanged glances, an unspoken agreement forming between them.
"I cannot deny what I feel," Nyxara said softly, her cheeks flushed. "Perhaps you have no time for indulgence, but what if we choose to follow you, not as adversaries, but as allies?"
Solara nodded, her gaze steady. "You've proven yourself worthy of not only our respect but perhaps... something deeper."
Raghav's brow furrowed, though his expression remained composed. "You misunderstand. I do not seek companions. The burden I carry is my own."
But before the goddesses could respond, Raghav turned his attention away. With a wave of his hand, a portal opened, revealing the shimmering expanse of his Inner World. The three women—Marin, Sia, and Cial—who had been watching from the edge of the wasteland, were swept away into its sanctuary.
"Astrea," Raghav called, his voice commanding.
From the shadows emerged Astrea, the Supreme Maid, her silver hair flowing like moonlight as she knelt before him. "Your command, my lord?"
"Raise a force field around this area," Raghav ordered. "No one dies here today, not even by accident. This battle will remain contained."
Astrea bowed her head. "As you wish, my lord."
As the shimmering shield rose, encasing the wasteland in a protective dome, the goddesses stood. Though weary, their eyes were alight with newfound purpose.
"You intrigue us, Raghav Ye King," Aeloria said, stepping forward. "And if you truly wish to reject our admiration, then we shall challenge you once more."
Raghav's lips curled into a faint smile, his Byaku-Rinnegan glowing brighter. "Then prepare yourselves. The next battle will show no mercy."
And as the ruined wasteland trembled once more under the weight of their combined power, a new chapter of their destiny began.
