Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"Ah..." the Rank Es Elementalists had their jaws dropped. Even with their immense experience, it still took them seconds to process what happened.

The masses who survived the earthquake didn't care about their ruined surroundings. What they truly cared about was their God.

Some of their friends, enemies, family, acquaintances, and delivery men are dead. However, they didn't bat an eye. The reason they were more curious about the sky was not that they were cold-blooded who just wants thrills.

They want to see if their God is fine.

Because if their God is fine then those who died would simply be revived. So when they saw that their God rose up without damage, they were relieved and only began the others without fear.

"Darea Irdona, what do you think you're doing?" still having an expressionless face, God Centre came out of the man-made abyss, showering it with holy radiance.

"So God Centre is this tough." Darea whispered to herself. But she wasn't worried, she didn't give any power behind that attack.

It was scary to other Rank Es Elementalists but for these two, it was nothing. The bouts that were simple to them could massacre the living in the area without even having the intention to.

"Answer my question." God Centre became brighter and the light rained upon the victims, healing and some reviving them. Higher Ranking Elementalists would be unaffected by this but that was fine since they wouldn't be affected by the earthquake alone anyway.

Darea raised her hand, covering her eyes even though it was close.

"I just tried something" she answered.

"That is an unacceptable reason. If you do not give a valid one, we will have to resort to force." God Centre became domineering.

Even though lives could be saved due to him, the reparations of the area below would need some time and money. This would disrupt the daily livelihood of many.

Also, if Darea could just enter, destroy, and exit the Holy Imperial Land without repercussions, what would others think of the almighty God Centre? Other unlawful Rank Es might think low of him and try to mess some things. In other words, bullying him. Meanwhile, the Rank Es of Supreme Noble Families of the land would lose trust and also their support to him.

Reputation is sometimes more powerful than strength itself.

"Then fight it is." Darea didn't even find an excuse, "I will eventually try to conquer the Centre Continent so if I beat you up, it would be much easier."

God Centre didn't say much before he retreated, "You are too unreasonable."

The God Centre retreated!

The masses were confused at this, they could hear their conversations as if they were put through speakers.

Only Darea knew why so she followed him. Looking at the beautiful land, if they were to be destroyed just from their battle, it would be too regretful after she conquered them.

Their value will greatly lessen.

The Holy Imperial Land Rank Es Elementalists didn't follow the two but stayed at the side as spectators. They knew that God Centre accepted the duel without superficial words and bickering.

Without any warning, the two vanished from the people's sight as they were above the clouds.

From a high altitude, they stood in the air as if there was an invisible flat ground. Even the Guild Master doesn't have the ability to replicate this. But for them, it was as simple as breathing.

Ripples of the elements became evident surrounding the two. The sun was directly above their heads.

"Rank Dies, God Centre, having the element Life and Death. This is going to be exciting."

On one side was an infinitely gorgeous woman with a white ponytail waving through the air as if it was underwater. It was as if the greatest artist created her face and figure as a masterpiece after decades of hard work.

"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."

On the other side was a perfect man. Everything about him was symmetric and proportionate. His muscles bulge not too big but not too small.

Both of them seemed like they were created by heaven or they were heavenly creatures themselves. If an outsider saw this scene, they wouldn't believe that these two were humans.

At that instant, a legendary battle began with the rest of the world not expecting it. However, the whole continent of Centre could feel it, especially the people inside the Holy Imperial Land.

There were ripples that would reach the masses and felt like they were assaulted. Some died without any reason while there were screams that could be heard under the graveyard.

These random people that died were not just commoners, some of them were Elementalist and some reaching Rank Cee!

The two peaks of the world were fighting above the sky. This battle was far but it was still greatly affecting the lower realm.

However, those who died would eventually revive and those who were revived died again. The people couldn't help but revere their God.

Even though they were suffering from it, this was proof of how powerful their God is. So instead, they were joyful!

On the clouds, they could see flashes of light and hear echoes roaring as if there were a million bolts of lightning and thunder.

There was a suffocating pressure in the air that made the people, especially the commoners unable to breathe.

These flashes of lights were not just white and blue in color but also red and black. Sometimes, there was a cold wind and snow falling from the sky. This made the people shiver. While sometimes, there were was a hot blow of wind that burned the skin of those who were weak.

For the commoners, it was too much!

This lasted for a long while before everything abruptly stopped.

"I... can't believe that I am not a match against the Conquress..." the man with an unexaggerated perfection was now beaten black and blue while traces of blood could be seen everywhere on his body.

On the other hand, the masterpiece of heaven was heavily breathing while some parts of her clothes were tattered. However, it was obvious that she was winning.

God Centre who was losing has no choice. He has to use his trump card. He was confident that this would kill his opponent but there were a lot of consequences behind it.

But he had no choice. With slight hesitation, the glow on God Centre's eyes came back which removed his black pupils.

Darea, even with her eyes closed, was shocked upon witnessing this. Without any reaction... her eyes lost its life.
