The second [Draco] descended, the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] reacted cautiously.

Unlike the times when it lunged at Yasenia, one could easily see it measuring its approach.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Constellation Dragon's galaxy-like eyes zeroed in on the Soldier and moved to fulfill Yasenia's order.

"Draco, destroy it."

ROAR!

The colossal dragon, comparable to a small moon in size, roared and changed the cosmos around them. Yasenia looked around, still transformed in her Cosmic Dragon form, and opened her eyes slightly wider. 'The sky is filled with stars...'

Draco's roar placed all the Star Energy in the cosmos around them under its control. Even Yasenia lost connection with it momentarily during Draco's dragon cry, surprising her.

Then, when the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] was about to advance and attack it, all tens of thousands of stars that Draco summoned began interconnecting into many new, different constellations.

Unlike normal, vague-looking constellations, these ones were detailed, made out of hundreds of stars to create different silhouettes.

A pair of twin silhouettes, similar to [Gemini Constellation] but with much more detail, rushed down from the starry void and began attacking the Tribulation Soldier in a melee exchange.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The three figures started clashing together. However, the Tribulation Soldier made quick work of them, eventually slashing them down. Unfazed, Draco made [Orion] fight. Right as he commanded, the archer drew his bow, attracting the surrounding stars into the tip of his arrow, and fired it.

The Tribulation Soldier charged its attack and slashed, creating a rumbling, multicolored lightning slash.

BOOM!!!

Both attacks collided, creating a gargantuan explosion in the void of space.

Then, the Soldier charged through it, appearing in front of [Orion] and slashing down onto him.

However, the galaxies in Draco's eyes spun, and someone interrupted. [Hercules] appeared right by the Soldier's side, punching with so much concentrated Star Energy that it felt as if a new Sun was about to be born right then.

The Tribulation Soldier quickly changed its target, moving the white sword laterally to block [Hercules]' attack.

BOOM!

Another explosion occurred, pushing both the Tribulation Soldier and [Hercules] back.

At that moment, [Orion] didn't lose the chance and fired another arrow, creating a vortex of stars surrounding the arrow. Then, as it travelled, the arrow divided into countless projectiles that opened like a blooming flower, illuminating the dark cosmos.

The Tribulation Soldier's body crackled with multicolored lights as it began slashing away at ridiculous speeds.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The power behind each sword strike was lethal, blasting several kilometers in front of it, and the shockwaves were able to destroy several arrows at the same time.

Yasenia looked at Draco's way of utilizing Star Energy with awe. 'So... You can use it like this?'

Draco roared once more, the cosmos trembling under his deep voice. Then, the stars in the sky gathered to form the figure of a woman with a beautiful vase. Yasenia was knowledgeable about this one; it was [Aquarius].

The woman's beauty was impossible to miss, even when she was just a silhouette made out of stars. She lifted her vase with a smile, creating a river of white stars that flowed to the place where the Tribulation Soldier was facing the rain of constant arrows created by [Orion].

When the white river arrived, the Tribulation Soldier's body exploded with multicolored lightning bolts, and it roared.

RUMBLE!!!

The sound it created was like thousands of thunderclaps exploding at the same time. Simultaneously, thousands of electric bolts exploded from it, piercing through everything and arriving in front of [Orion], [Aquarius], and [Hercules].

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three Constellations were blasted into white particles, while all the remaining lightning bolts curved through the empty cosmos and turned toward Draco.

'Oh no. I need to protect him!'

Yasenia was prepared to protect this powerful summon when she saw Draco using one of its giant wings to protect her. Looking up, Yasenia saw the calm and almighty countenance of the Primordial Constellation Dragon, and for some reason, her anxiousness disappeared, and calm returned to her mind.

Right after, thousands of stars gathered around them, creating another constellation: [Scutum]. Four ancient stars gathered in the shape of a rhombus, and they quickly connected with each other. Then, spreading to the sides, several hundred stars created a protective dome that covered both of them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

All the lightning bolts falling onto Yasenia's surroundings exploded against the protective dome created by Draco, protecting her from all harm.

After the attack ended, the Tribulation Soldier looked at the situation and charged forward.

Then, for the first time, Draco moved.

His massive body surged forward, his wings spreading in a magnificent show of unrivaled Star Energy. With him, all the stars that created his body glowed, swelling rapidly.

Unaware, the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] continued charging forward and slashed at Draco with a sword large enough to divide small moons.

However, when the sword made contact, Draco didn't protect himself. Instead, he allowed all the star energy that he controlled to go wild.

Even when it was nighttime in the World below them, light much brighter than the Moonlight shone in the sky, creating an artificial clear sky with a new Sun.

Yasenia used her wings to block the powerful aftershock of the huge explosion. Even then, she was pushed back for several kilometers, stopping herself only after flapping her wings a few times. Soluna appeared by her side, her face serious. "Yasenia, do you think the Tribulation Soldier is done?"

"No..." Yasenia spoke calmly. "However, it is not uninjured."

When the effects of the explosions finished, the sorry figure of the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] appeared in front of everyone.

The black armor was full of cracks, with some pieces straight up missing.

The white sword, crackling with multicolored lightning, was chipped and full of black cracks, clearly about to break.

Overall, it looked as if the one that had been hit by lightning was it instead of Yasenia. The visor of the Tribulation Soldier flashed with light, and it lunged at Yasenia.

Yasenia answered by transforming back into her human form and rushing ahead to clash with it. She didn't want to continue in her Dragon Form because she didn't need the brute strength it gave her, but the agile maneuvering she could do with her human form.

CLANG!

Both swords collided and repelled, making Yasenia's lips arch minutely. 'Now we are on par even when I am in my human form.'

Her sword accelerated, and she bombarded the Tribulation Soldier with myriad attacks. The power behind each strike was done with her entire body, releasing a barrage that sent both of them into a continued exchange of powerful moves.

The collision between their weapons was so fast that it left behind images during the exchange. Soluna waited by the side, preparing her skills to help Yasenia when she found an opening.

Soluna was still holding onto her tricolored flaming sword created by [Myriad Worlds Celestial Twilight]. Her eyes followed their battle as they moved and clashed together.

Yasenia parried a sword thrust, and her tail lashed for the first time with brutal strength. Not having expected it, the Tribulation Soldier failed to properly react. Still, its ridiculous reflexes allowed it to raise one of its legs and block it.

BOOM!

Its body stumbled a few meters, and Yasenia rushed forward, changing Draheart's form to a hammer and shield. The hammer was not too large, and it had a pointy back end, making it a lethal weapon against armored enemies.

Her blue shield, with a red gem shining straight in the middle, was raised, blocking the sword strike.

She used the small opening from the rebound to swing her hammer.

However, at that moment, the Tribulation Soldier stepped back, barely dodging, and then kicked the side of her shield, blasting her guard open.

Yasenia's eyes widened, not having expected such a quick reaction. Then, taking that chance, the white sword of the Tribulation Soldier descended and slashed Yasenia's chest in a wide arc.

SLASH!

Blood exploded from her chest, a large gash opening her skin and muscle, but she still managed to recover her stance. The Tribulation Soldier took the chance and pierced its sword forward. Still, before it could advance, Soluna attacked it from behind. "[Star Destroying Lunar Flame]!"

BOOM!

Yasenia stepped aside perfectly, and the Tribulation Soldier was thrown forward past the place where she previously stood. "Yasenia, are you okay!?"

Yasenia nodded with a frown. "That was unexpected. Still, let's finish this. We can kill it soon."

Both of them nodded, and they began another quick exchange with it.

Slowly but surely, the heavily injured [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] was suppressed after Yasenia and Soluna used a large part of their arsenal and energy reserves.

When Soluna blew his dangerous sword aside, Yasenia slipped by and finally landed a fatal blow. Her sword pierced through its chest, pushing it back together with Yasenia's momentum. "Explode!"

Channeling her energy, Draheart surged with energy and exploded the Tribulation Soldier inside out.

Yasenia was panting heavily, looking around with an exhausted expression.

"Two weeks..." Yasenia breathed in and out, trying to calm her ragged breathing.

"Two weeks of pure fighting to bring that thing down..."

Her body was riddled with scars and open wounds, and even her face had a large scar that crossed from one side to another.

Soluna was similarly tired and allowed her body to float in the middle of space. She didn't want to move a single finger.

Tai Yang's voice reached her at this moment. "I didn't expect you to surpass this... Well, what am I saying? You've gone far beyond my expectations so many times that I should expect almost all my plans not to go as intended."

Yasenia looked at the Sun God once before ignoring him and focusing on the Tribulation Cloud above her.

The cloud could follow her without problems through the cosmos since the one doing it was the Lower Heavens, not one of the sub-heavens in the planets.

Still, seeing no lightning flashing on the clouds, her face gained a confused expression. "What's wrong...?"

She quickly observed her surroundings, and Yasenia noticed the large amounts of energy released on the death of the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier].

She pondered for a moment before sitting cross-legged and absorbing that energy.

'This is what Soluna did, right? You need to absorb the energies of the Tribulation Lightning and reform your body with it.'

Even when she understood, there was a strange sense of incongruity. Fearing that her mind might've been affected once more, she asked Soluna. "Soluna, do I now absorb the surrounding energy?"

Soluna blinked twice and looked around. Then, she nodded. "Yeah. That's the next step, no? Why'd you ask?"

Looking at the two gods, Yasenia spoke without minding that they were listening. "Those two look too calm and are not impeding me from doing it, making me feel strange. As if that's what they are aiming for."

Soluna hummed and commented. "Well, it's not like you can't not absorb it, no? If you don't absorb it, this tribulation will be for nothing."

Yasenia sighed. "I guess you are right."

She waved her hand, and the [Primordial Energy Core] appeared in front of her. Then, she beckoned all the energy around into it before placing it back in her Dantian. That way, the energy would slowly be purified and transformed by it, nourishing her body.

When Yasenia placed the [Primordial Energy Core] in her Dantian, both gods smiled. Yasenia saw their smile, and her heart thumped. Then, the Heaven struck with such speed that no one could react.

BOOM!

Yasenia's body was hit by a [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning], losing more than half her body in an instant. Her entire left side from the shoulder down was gone entirely.

Soluna's eyes widened, and she screamed. "YASENIA!"

In the world below, the girls almost fainted from fear. It was then that Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria saw the two gods turn into rays of light and dive straight into Yasenia's body.

Tatyana shouted to the other two, her face turning paler. "Activate it!"
