Perfect Avatar-Chapter 296: The Monster And The Devil: Dora VS Gloria

The space fractured after the collision of two spectacular pressure.

Gloria’s body switched color, swallowed by a mix of red and black, then released a heatwave giving a red tint to the air.

The Personas materialized without any difficulties, their bodies enveloped by a red glow.

Gloria’s arm expended, taking gigantic proportions; she delivered a blow on her opponents, followed by an explosion of aura.

The glasses broke, the room was completely engulfed in fire, but the Queen could still feel the presence of several fires stronger around her.

"No intro speech? We’re going straight for the kill?"

Dora looked at the palm of his hands, no affected by the previous attack.

Gloria gritted her teeth, a new burst of aura blew away the ground, in an instant, she was at the ceiling, her mouth red.

"VORACITY"

The bomb fell on the 6, swallowing any kind of energy on its path, and crashed with a phenomenal force.

A red tornado resulted, aspiring everything except its target.

Alpha was behind Gloria, a sword covered in the same red aura.

"Behind you."

Gloria swirled, her hand bruised Alpha’s cheek, but behind him, this simple move sent a shock wave destroy the wall behind.

"... I told you, behind you."

A black ray pierced Gloria from her back.

She looked behind and noticed Omega too late.

"Damn... YOU!!!"

The air changed from red to orange under the power of Starvation, Gloria dashed toward Omega with another bomb of Voracity, then a shadow swallowed her.

"!!!"

With a gigantic size, Sigma stomped on her and crushed her under his foot.

"We keep telling you to look behind, why don’t you listen?"

"Good, don’t move."

Gamma charged two balls of energy in each hands, and Alpha materialized a giant sword.

Both launched their attack on Sigma’s foot, triggering an explosion and the poor boy’s cries of pain.

Above, Dora watched the scene like a rapace, it was too easy, and he was used to see these kinds of situations quickly turned around.

"... Over...consumption!"

A new explosion of aura shook the room. Gloria was undergoing a new transformation, her body inflated, her flesh expended without limit.

Sigma moved away, giving them a better view of the scenery.

Above, Dora frowned.

"Oh, it’s the same thing as with Wrath."

Gloria’s flesh glowed, in the mass, she opened her eyes.

"..."

It was the first time she used her new powers at their limits, and the feeling was simply divine.

"... Strange... I feel like... I feel like I have no limit of power..."

Her body exploded, unleashing a destructive dome of aura.

The Personas watched the energy rushing to them without a real consideration, but then Dora’s voice rang up.

"...It’s filled with Voracity?! Dodge!!!"

But it was too late, the Personas got swallowed by the attack before reacting.

In the blast, the Personas felt no damage, they could look around them as if they were in water, but as it lasted, they noticed something.

"... Damn, Voracity! Split!!!" Alpha shouted.

They vanished instantly, but the damage was already done.

It wasn’t that the blast was powerful, but Voracity’s properties were dangerous.

It was an attack that could absorb a designed target, it could be a body, or something intangible as a memory, however in that moment Gloria set it on everything, and this everything applied to energy.

Dora looked at his hands, his red shield blinked then disappeared completely.

"Damn it, my perfect shield..."

With the attack, Gloria had dissipated the shield Dora and the Personas were maintaining since Kalaharis.

The Personas appeared next to him, all watching at Gloria underneath.

She opened her eyes, gazing at her hands.

"... I feel... I feel so strange... he took almost all my skills, and yet... I’m still so powerful...I’m way stronger than before.."

She looked above, the Personas seemed concerned by the situation.

Her eyes regained more life, for the first time in weeks, she felt a surge of hope flowing in her. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"... They aren’t confident? They’re doubting in their chances?"

Her aura bathed the room, it was a gentle warmth, coloring the air in golden.

If there was a literal definition of a goddess, maybe at this moment Gloria was the closest to the word.

"... I’m already dead? If that’s the case, why should I be afraid? The cause of all my suffering is right here... the one who destroyed my world is no one else than him!"

The intensity of her aura increased, each cell of her body was becoming a weapon.

Above, the Personas groaned.

"We did everything wrong, Wrath is better in battle than Envy, the only gain we got is knowledge."

Dora shook his head and rose one hand, a red portal opened behind him, releasing a red energy.

"We do have a part of Wrath in us, and I’m not talking about this thing we took from Shaka."

He grabbed the mater and took a big handful of it, the energy sparkled in his hand and spread as a web to cover each of the Personas.

"Every Sins is unique, and we have the greatest abilities."

Another burst of aura answered to Gloria’s power, the 6 above with their eyes shining.

Dora joined his hands, a little orb forming in between.

"Law..."

Gloria and the Personas gazed at each other for a fleeting moment, and then, the space exploded.

In every other parts of the little planet, everyone was in a titanic fight. On Mercy’s side, they faced the Players and the shadows of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma, less strong than the originals, on Freya’s side, they faced shadows of Omega and Sigma.

They were deeply immersed in their battle when a flash crossed their brains.

All stopped moving for a bit, in this place, space was distorted in a way that made it impossible to feel their allies presence, yet, one spark could bend this law and reach everyone.

The blast engulfed the room, the walls were submerged by an ocean of explosion, a wave of pure destructive energy, present permanently, growing in size in a room which border expended indefinitely.

Gloria jumped on the ceiling, behind her, Omega and Gamma launched a barrage of energy blast. Her body covered in Starvation, but instantly, the energy glowed and detonated on her.

She destroyed the walls above, but her body was barely damaged.

She caught glimpses of the particles among the constant wave of energy.

"... The same spell he used on me?"

Alpha blasted the roof with thousand swords materialized from the explosion, but Gloria was already back on the floor, her mouth glowing red, then, shone brightly and exploded.

Her skinless head emerged with a devastating roar, she swung her arm, creating another blast above, all the personas vanished in the destruction, except the deadliest one, Dora, crossing the blast with his skin permanently regenerating.

Gloria jumped toward him, her leap destroying the remains of the ground, and both clashed in the air.

The color of the atmosphere reversed, Gloria’s raw power matched with Wrath’s energy from Dora.

The two godlike beings fought like devils in the air, each of their blow cracking the space, in a deadly dance, none of them seemed above the other, despite Gloria using 2 sins dedicated to offense against Greed, however, the explanation was rather simple.

The Queen covered her fist with the power of Starvation, delivering a punch, and when the fist met Dora’s knee, it exploded.

"...I see... this is what he did..." Gloria’s hand disintegrated and immediately swelled, Dora spun and cut the air with his hand, but the queen dodged the attack and pushed him further away with a roar.

As he flew backward, Gloria’s hand completely regenerated with another explosion, she looked her fist then back at Dora.

"His power is targeting Gluttony’s skill... I can’t use my second Sin..."

She disappeared from her spot, on time to avoid an eruption of power from the ground. Sigma, had merged with the continuous blast, his arms stretching indefinitely, rushing to Gloria.

She jumped from walls to wall, Sigma blasting the path behind her, and then, Alpha appeared from in front.

"Guh!"

With a spear, he impaled the Queen, pushing her toward Sigma, but in a desperate attempt, Gloria spinned on herself, swinging Alpha behind, directly under Sigma’s hands, but instead of crushing his alter, Sigma’s fingers stretched and freed Omega and Alpha, both with a blast of light and darkness.

With no time to react, the Queen took the impact. The two orbs fought against each other like magnet, with the Queen crushed in the middle.

She was propelled backward, the orbs growing in size. Without Gluttony’s skills, she was unable to swallow the attack and had to focus on a new power she had no time to master.

She bit her lips to the point of bleeding, the orbs swallowed her completely and farther away she could feel Sigma gathering all the energy around in a single arrow.

"..."

As her body was getting destroyed, Gloria widened her eyes.

"DEVIL’S BANQUET!!!!"

5 pentagrams formed in the air, quickly covered by red lightning before exploding, but one remained, swallowing the others and enduring the blast.

A pig head materialized in the explosion, opening a wide maw, Gloria put two fingers together and initiated a new move.

"Gluttony"

A red flash engulfed the area, in an instant, all the surrounding energy vanished in a blast of destruction and absorption.

The walls blew out, the ceiling exploded, the ground vanished. All the permanent power condensated into a single flash of light, and slowly the calm returned.

A rain of red stars fell on the room whose structure was now similar to the interior of a dead planet, but in this void, Gloria and Dora stood face to face.

With her body slightly burnt, Gloria breathed heavily, but the void around was a testimony of her success.

"Now I’m really impressed, you actually bypassed my law." Dora raised his eyebrows.

Gloria glared at him, the boy was still in a better shape than her and seemed too calm for her own good.

"So, you managed to do the same thing as Liliana? How so? Did you also found the roots of the Law and created a counter? Let me see..."

With one hand on his hip, he showed her a big smile. His eyes glowed green, a green haze enveloping Gloria.

"Oh, I see... You used Voracity on everything, but since my Law only made your blessing explode it didn’t alter its structure."

Gloria narrowed her eyes, what was this lunatic saying?

"Basically, my law made your power explode but by continuously using it, you managed to swallow everything, including the energy all around, and even on yourself, so I suppose you’re freed from it for now. You only succeeded because I tried to hurt you instead of incapacitating you. It’s not exactly your feat, but my bad."

"Since you’re so talkative, why won’t you tell me how you’re managing to affect other’s Sins? The blessings of two sins can’t work on each other, so how do you do that?"

Dora tilted his head to the side.

"Hm? Are you serious? You’re asking me my secrets? Are you that desperate?"

Gloria kept a straight face, she knew little about her opponent, as a person, but as a monster, she knew him as a playful man, the kind who played a lot when he was sure to win.

"Why not? If you can affect directly my Sin, then I’m as good as dead. Why won’t you at least ell me how you’re doing it? After all..." Her eyes shone. "If it’s not a trick, but something only you can use, then you shouldn’t be afraid to tell me."

Dora’s eyes narrowed, he watched the monarch waiting for an answer to her ridiculous question. It was a famous situation, where it was expected from him to reveal his secrets and in lost cases Gloria could turn it against him, but with this opponent, it wasn’t a possibility, he had to bet that she would definitely do it.

However, many monsters killed each other in this world, and if the strongest bite was the most dangerous, the most dangerous monster was the one who could use his opponent’s bite against themselves.

Dora’s smile widened, he let his hand down and raised his head.

"Fossil, you’re pretty funny. Let’s say that I accept, just to make it a little more challenging."

A spark shone in Gloria’s eyes.

"Yeah, keep underestimating me, you think it will be a big deal?" She taunted him.

"Maybe not, for the others. But I really appreciate a difficult gamble, so let’s play a game instead."

His eyes shone yellow, Gloria stood on guard, if he decided to accept her demand, she might have a slight chance, but something about Dora’s attitude was disturbing.

"A game?"

"Yes, I’m willing to tell you the truth, and even more. Your proposal is good, but mine is better... Queen, I’m willing to let you win."
