Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 100: War Is Necessary

"Rank Estrias, Conqueress, Overbearer, Overlordess, Darea Irdona. Your existence has been distorting reality and the world itself so this is sudden opportunity is great for me to fix what you broke." God Centre spoke.

In front of him was Darea who just charged at him without even a warning earlier.

After both have said a few words, the battle has officially begun. God Centre flew forward as the ripples of energy took form surrounding him.

Life energy was intensely filling him while deathly energy surrounds the surface and reverberated outwards. A large phantom of a demonic figure could be seen in the aura of death behind him.

God Centre was filled with power. If this hit any Rank Es Elementalist, they would need to beg for his Life Energy to save them as if they were hit by deadly poison!

He charged like an unstoppable arrow towards the Conqueress. In just a short time, he covered the distance between them!

"Ugh!"

God Centre threw a mouthful of blood. There was a moment before he realized what happened.

He was in complete disbelief.

"Huh?" he just looked and saw that Darea was already in front of him, her hand inside his stomach, "You... when did you have the time to prepare such an attack?" he asked, while his eyes were about to glow.

"Stalling won't get you anywhere." Darea said with a heavy voice as she did not fear God Centre's mysterious attack.

Immediately, she opened her eyes and revealed clear silver pupils, directly looking at God Centre's glowing eyes.

"You have a Soul Element too!?" God Centre finally gave emotion and expression on his face.

The people of the Holy Imperial Land felt frustration and fear even though they were not seeing the battle above the clouds. More than half of their population died the moment God Centre's eyes glowed darkly.

Darea didn't reply as she concentrated her full will. She knew that even though God Centre's Soul Element is Rank Cee at most and hers Rank Bih, she will still lose since God Centre has both Life and Death Elements!

But a slight curl formed on the edge of Darea's lips.

The space surrounding them was getting distorted. The Elements were in chaos.

Slowly, Darea twisted her hand inside God Centre's body, releasing pure chaotic energy inside.

"AHHHH!!" God Centre shouted in pain but he endured as he stared at the majestic eyes of the Conqueress.

Energy,

Life,

Law,

And Matter.

These four were the primary components of nature. Matter is the physical form and also the container for other components to mix and create combinations.

With matter, an entity can form. Entity like a tree, a blow of wind, the radiance of light, and the body of a human.

Without matter, the other three components would be formless and will rarely interact with each other. Staying in their own dimensions.

Inside matter, the other three components will interact and can create a Soul. Meaning, the soul is the result of these four primary components' interaction.

"Controlling energy itself. I won't believe it if I haven't seen it." God Centre gritted his teeth, "No wonder nine Apexial Beasts are under your control. you're not a Quartal Elementalists. You're a Penta Elementalists, having Fire, Ice, Dark, Soul, and Energy Elements!"

"You have Life and Death, you can easily kill me." Darea snorted. She internally admitted that this God Centre might be stronger than her.

But she had a huge advantage. That is the stoppage of time. Although it was random, it was frequent and she would have the time to prepare, not needing to give an opening just to charge up an attack like what God Centre did.

"We haven't even released our weapons yet we are already at this point of the battle." God Centre felt deep frustration while he was losing control over his own energy.

Soul manipulates elements through energy and sometimes law since it is a result of energy, life, law, and matter.

With pure chaotic energy being poured into him through his body which is matter, how could he properly control his Life and Death?

While having eye contact, they were having a battle of Souls. This, even Rank Eys would have not imagined that there is this kind of battle.

There's a reason why these two have come to the top of the world. It wouldn't be surprising if they have hidden trump cards.

Darea Irdona from the Continent of Great Darea, God Centre from the Continent of Centre, and the Lord Sorcerer from the Continent of Arcansas.

These three were widely-accepted as the strongest among Rank Es. If they are strongest amongst Rank Es then they are the strongest in the world!

But without the world expecting it, God Centre fell in the hands of Darea. Their deadlock didn't stay for long.

Before God Centre died, he asked, "You have a Time Element?"

"Time Element... you know something about it? The reason I'm here is actually because of that." Darea weakened her energy output to prolong God Centre's life.

But the latter just sighed, "So you don't have it... No, I think it doesn't exist."

Knowing that God Centre knows nothing about the information she wanted, Darea released the chaotic energy again.

"I can't believe I will die without even knowing the cause of my death. I only have a little time left. I can't waste it on asking your mysterious power so bear my warning and the responsibility of killing me." God Centre's eyes dimmed and the black pupils came back.

"You're new to the apex and didn't know many things. There cannot be just one ruler in the world. Be careful. There was the Peace Era before Flasse." before his eyes closed with a peaceful expression he muttered, "War is necessary."

Seeing this, Darea closed her eyes again and dropped the lifeless body.

"I thought you're going to cut your words and die midway." she muttered before thinking about God Centre's last words.

"There cannot be just one ruler in this world... Since he died, there's only me and the Lord Sorcerer. He actually warned me from the Lord Sorcerer. This is interesting." Darea spoke as if she had not been warned. She didn't notice but she was having a big smile.

"Lord Sorcerer... Peace Era... War!" Darea shouted in excitement with her eyes closed, "I died but I lived! HAHAHAHA!" she laughed unrestrained.

The Holy Imperial Land saw their God fell from the sky as they heard a burst of laughter.

"This Time Elementalist. If you are the Lord Sorcerer, your power cannot restrain me. But if not, I can use you to take over Arcansas! So convenient! If you are not in the Great Darea and Centre, then you're definitely in Arcansas!"
