Ares could feel Green's natural and calm attitude, which made him even more excited for the upcoming battle. He hadn't encountered someone like this in a long time. Regardless of the opponent's strength, just from their simple conversation, he had already experienced great pleasure. This was the meaning of his existence!

In the next moment, Ares's body emitted a brilliant blue line pattern as he swung his sword, Bahr-Bel, and charged towards Green. In the blink of an eye, Ares unleashed hundreds of crimson sword energies towards Green. Green was slightly surprised, as it seemed like the opponent was quite skilled with Bahr-Bel. On the other hand, Green wasn't very familiar with it, but it didn't matter. After all, this was a fight without any rules.

Surrounding the sword with white source energy, Green swiftly swung, and a white sword energy that stretched for hundreds of meters turned into a meteor to meet Ares. The hundreds of sword energies unleashed by Ares were instantly swallowed up. However, Ares, being the supreme ruler of the universe, even though his sword energy was consumed, Green's sword energy disappeared when it was less than a finger's distance away from Ares's body.

"It seems I'm not very suited for using a sword," Green said. He thought of taking out the black giant hammer, but then he realized that it wouldn't show much respect for both Ares and Bahr-Bel. Moreover, the chance of damaging something would be quite high.

"Kid, it's not a good habit to be distracted in a battle!" Ares grumbled. In the midst of his complaints, he swung Bahr-Bel once again towards Green. But just as he was about to collide with Green's body, a beam of light suddenly jetted out from behind Ares. At the same time, metallic protrusions appeared on his body's surface, instantly increasing his speed several times over as he charged towards Green.

Green's peripheral vision even caught sight of cracks in space. It was difficult to create such a phenomenon without deliberately exerting force on space. Undoubtedly, even if Ares's move could break through the Earth, Green believed it. All his power converging on a single point was already considered a killer move.

But unfortunately, Green only slightly dodged by tilting his body, evading the aggressive attack. At the same time, his right hand swiftly formed a knife hand, and with invisible speed, it struck Ares's sturdy nape, making a loud thud as Ares was knocked downwards.

Feeling the solid impact, Green was secretly pleased, while Ares felt a sense of frustration. It was like he had prepared for a long time to attack a hard object hoping to destroy it, only to discover that it was just a cotton ball with a sticker on it. Not only that, but the cotton ball also retaliated and knocked him down. Besides feeling annoyed, Ares felt nothing but stifled.

The strong dissatisfaction became the driving force for his actions, and the novel freshness became the source of his desires. Ares's chest spewed out an energy beam, forcefully stopping his free-falling body that was descending like a falling star. Afterwards, he turned back towards Green and once again released a beam from behind as he charged towards Green at a speed several times faster than when descending. At the same time, he concentrated his energy on Bahr-Bel's blade, turning it into a flash. In a moment of light and darkness, he grazed past Green's body.

"Chi!" Green seemed to hear the sound of a wound being cut open. Gently touching his cheek, he saw red liquid gently floating.

"Interesting!" Green revealed a pleased smile. Ares also noticed this and showed a silent smile.

In the next moment, the figures of the two disappeared from their original positions. In the dark universe, only faint remnants could be seen appearing in various directions. One had to exert all their effort to observe, just to barely make out the two engaging in a fierce sword duel.

The collision of their clash released a gust of air that destroyed countless specks of dust in the universe. The soldiers on the ships quickly piloted their damaged vessels and moved away from the area.

The battle did not last long.

After only a few rounds of collision, Ashura realized the gap between the two.

At first glance, both of them seemed calm, seemingly evenly matched. However, upon closer inspection, Ashura's breathing was slightly erratic, and his eyes seemed a little dim. On the other hand, Green's breathing was steady, and his expression was calm.

"You are impressive."

"So are you."

At one point, without any prior agreement, both of them stopped attacking.

Ashura held the sword of Valibelle in his trembling hand. In the hundreds of clashes with Green, he discovered that Green was extremely powerful whether in close combat or from a distance.

The pain in his wrists was the best proof of Green's strength.

In contrast, Green's body didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Even slight fatigue would be completely restored within a few seconds.

All of this was thanks to his superpower.

However, the reason why his other self in this world became weak and frail was also because of this superpower.

But although they were both Greens, they were not the same person.

"I'm lucky to have met you. I haven't encountered such a powerful opponent in a long time. Even the prophecy crystal said that there is no enemy in this world that can match me. Now it seems that only through practice can we discover the truth."

"...Maybe the crystal was right."

"Even in this situation, you are still humble?"

After speaking, Ashura slowly closed his eyes. His outward breath started to retract inward, and soon Ashura returned to his normal form, an ordinary creature without any power.

However, Green sensed something unusual from Ashura.

Although Ashura seemed lifeless on the surface, no, he was like an inanimate object — without life, without a soul.

Ashura's massive body seemed like a sculpture, silently standing in space.

Green watched him silently, not launching any attacks.

Suddenly, Ashura opened his eyes. Sharp light burst out from his strange pupils.

And in the next moment, Ashura made a completely unexpected move for Green —

He slowly raised Valibelle, gripped it with his other hand without hesitation, and stabbed the glowing part of the sword into his own chest.

"Crack—"

Whether it was an illusion or not, a friction sound, as if a mechanical operation, entered Green's ears, making him more alert.

Along with the alertness, there was also a strong sense of curiosity.

Valibelle's sword emitted a dark red energy from the inside out, constantly converging towards Ashura's chest.

Meanwhile, lines of shining blue light gradually appeared on Ashura's body, gradually blending with the faint red.

After a few seconds, a mix of red and blue energy intertwined on Ashura's body.

"What is happening?"

"I am a sword created by Ashura, but it is not meant to be used as a weapon. It is a key to unlock a great power sealed within Ashura."

"Oh..."

After hearing this explanation, Green withdrew Valibelle into his pocket dimension. It was obvious that Valibelle was no longer needed.

Indeed, as soon as Green put away Valibelle, a continuous flow of energy erupted from Ashura's body.

The gushing energy was like a rushing water from a burst pipe, flowing out uncontrollably, making it difficult to handle.

Green understood that Ashura was now serious.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Green felt the need to show some respect.

The full strength that was displayed in front of the Demon King in another world, after accumulating for some time, once again emerged in front of the world.

The pouring white source energy, like soft clouds, or like hungry girls, clustered around Green.

From a distance, Green seemed to be in another dimension.

Asura also felt the energy emitted by Green, the most powerful force he had encountered in his life.

Next, he asked Sarowus the same question.

"Why aren't you giving it your all?"

"My power has been increasing all along."

Asura floated in the air, and after hearing Green's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which quickly turned into seriousness.

At the same time, he also noticed that Green was no longer flying, but standing on stable ground.

Green's immense source energy had reached a level where he could move effortlessly in any environment without needing to consciously control it.

In simpler terms, it had gone from an active skill to a passive one.

"I have now unleashed all the energy within me. If it continues for too long, I will die due to the passing of my lifespan. I assume you have also paid a considerable price in order to possess such immense power."

"Perhaps."

"If you don't want to say, then forget it. I'm not interested in knowing."

Asura pulled out the blade from his chest, and the energy that combined dark red and bright blue quickly rushed in, gathering and rotating in his chest, forming a starry object.

After that moment, the scene fell silent.

There was no movement, neither of them launching an attack. But if anyone thought that meant they didn't want to fight, they would be wrong.

As the saying goes, battles between masters only take an instant. After reaching the level of power that the two of them had, tentative and restrained probing had become meaningless. Both of them were preparing for their final strikes.

In Asura's view, there were only two possible outcomes: either he would die from exhaustion of his energy, or he would kill the opponent before his energy ran out.

But for Green, there could only be one outcome.

That was —

"If you dare, withstand my attack and see if you can take it. This is my final power!"

Asura exploded with a fusion of red and blue energy, with an earth-shattering momentum, turning into a meteor charging towards the unmoved Green.

His fist, containing a full-power strike, was about to hit Green's face, but Green had already pressed his source energy against Asura's chest.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze.

The energy of red and blue fusion merged into the white source energy. The next moment, everything became still, but a few seconds later, the suppressed energy burst forth, forming an energy beam much thicker than before.

The enormous beam was visible to people on Earth, visually shocking them.

Soon, the beam disappeared into the sky, leaving only the space enveloped by the white source energy in the dark universe.

Not far in front of Green was Asura, trembling slightly, having lost the protection of his source energy.

The result was obvious. He did not achieve victory and was unable to defeat Green before his energy ran out.

This was a result that Asura had completely failed to anticipate – after he unleashed the ultimate energy within his body, Green still overwhelmed him with a crushing blow.
