Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 259 Nuwas Dominance

"Another Immortal trash! Hahaha," the young man laughed into Nuwa’s face and straight-up ignored her, gazing at Anastasia instead. "My Queen, come to my side, and let’s rule together."

Nuwa was calm, not hurrying to attack as she reached out to Xuefeng. ’Lend me your sword and on my signal, split the water between me and him.’

Xuefeng passed her the Dragon Edge without question and looked back to check her opponent. He had to be blind not to notice obvious changes happening to the young man’s body.

Two black veins on his chest popped like a balloon and black blood started oozing out. His Soul grew so powerful that his body wasn’t strong enough to store it.

’He will collapse even if you don’t do anything,’ Xuefeng pointed out, a bit worried for Nuwa. Even with the Mermaid Bloodline, it would be hard for her to contest him using pure Soul Power.

’I didn’t come here to watch,’ Nuwa replied as he extended his sword and began filling it with her Soul Power. ’Now that you gifted me this Bloodline, I have more than enough space to absorb more. I am going to feast tonight and his Soul will be my meal.’

Xuefeng didn’t know what she was planning but based on the confidence in her voice, he wouldn’t want to be in her opponent’s skin.

While Nuwa was preparing for her attack, the young man was growing impatient at the lack of response from Anastasia.

"I said come to me!" the young man repeated, extending his bloody arm to her. It was also in bad condition with his skin falling apart.

Anastasia couldn’t help but cringe in disgust as she backed away, causing the young man to glare at her angrily.

"How dare you look at me like that?! I’m your King!" the young man cried out while his lips split from excessive movement. "Look at me with the respect I deserve!"

His body was falling apart yet his power kept increasing. The Lightning that wrapped around him like snakes was growing thicker and suddenly transformed. The black blood leaking from his body dyed the Lightning black before he exploded with more power.

Black Lightning shot out in multiple directions and even crushed against the Palace, blasting a hole in the expensive Fate Stone wall. If Drakos was watching this, he would definitely go berserk.

’He is reaching another breakthrough!’ Ming reported when the young man’s eyes turned black, the Lightning taking over his insides.

Anastasia finally sent out an ultimate command.

"Everyone evacuate!"

Even before she said anything, her people were already scattering away as far as they could.

"Aaaaaaaaaargh!!!" the young man screamed while growing in size, turning into a black Lightning Giant. One could tell whatever was left underneath the thick destructive layer definitely didn’t look humane.

"I said come to me!!!" the young man yelled for the last time as his Lightning arm shot forward, attempting to catch her.

Anastasia paled at that sight and looked at Xuefeng in desperation.

’Nuwa!’ Xuefeng cried out while his Water Stone lit up and Nuwa finally acted.

’Now!’

Swoosh!

The Dragon Edge shot out of her hands like a rocket, piercing through the air as Xuefeng split the water for her. With no water resistance, it struck the Lightning Golem’s back in a blink of an eye.

"Arrrgghh!!!"

The young man screamed from the impact as the sword pierced right through his chest. It was enough to gain his attention but the damage didn’t kill him. The young man stopped chasing after Anastasia and instead glared at Nuwa while reaching for the hilt of the Dragon Edge.

Looking into Nuwa’s eyes was the last mistake he made.

’She pulled him into her Soul World!’ Ling called out as the two came to a stalemate. Both Nuwa and the young man froze in place until one of them began to tremble.

’Nuwa!’ Xuefeng shouted in worry when blood dripped from the corner of his wife’s eyes.

She was losing the battle!

Xuefeng rushed to her side on instinct but was swiftly stopped before he could touch her. ’Xuefeng, stop! You can’t help her! It’s her battle and only she can win it!’ Ming warned. ’If you disturb her, the chances of her loss will increase!’

’But I have to do something!’ Xuefeng called back as Nuwa’s condition was only worsening.

Her face looked devoured of blood while her eyes and body shook uncontrollably. Normally her Soul Battles didn’t even last a second but now she was struggling.

Xuefeng looked at his Dragon Edge at the young man’s back but Ming scolded him before he could even move. ’Don’t do anything stupid! You can’t get close to him else the lightning will injure your Soul!’

He was ready to die for his wives, so an injury was hardly an argument for him but then an image of suffering Yiren appeared in his mind. If he got hurt, she would also feel the same, and damaging one’s Soul brought the most excruciating pain.

What was he supposed to do?

"Queen!"

Just as he wondered, he heard Momo’s scream and saw Anastasia swimming towards his sword. If he could think of this idea, she could do so as well.

"Anastasia!" Xuefeng yelled to stop her but it was too late.

The Black lightning burned her arms but she didn’t seem to care as she grabbed the hilt and pulled out the sword from the golem’s back. She didn’t hesitate and swung it sideways, cutting at its head.

Bang!

A gigantic explosion of lightning blasted her away but Xuefeng already moved, teleporting behind Anastasia to catch her. Her arms were bloodied as they took most of the impact but they healed rapidly with Xuefeng’s regeneration.

"Ah..." Anastasia breathed out a relaxed sigh in his arms. "One Forbidden Fruit can cause so much trouble. Thankfully it’s finally over."

She was turning to look at Xuefeng when a new source of Soul Power exploded in the area. Nuwa awakened as her trembling stopped while her aura began to reach new heights.

"Damn, why did you kill him?! I already had him!"

Nuwa’s curses brought a smile to Xuefeng’s face.

"Nuwa!" Xuefeng called out happily as he teleported back to her side. "Are you okay?"

"Why would I not be okay? That was just a small fry," Nuwa shrugged proudly. "I just had to toy with him a little to tire him out so it took much longer."

He channeled Fate Qi through her body just to be sure but there was nothing to regenerate. Her body was in perfect condition.

"Weren’t your eyes bleeding out?" Xuefeng questioned as he looked into her eyes but he didn’t spot anything besides her beautiful pupils.

"Of course I had to suffer a little since his Soul Power was more than ten times stronger than mine but I wasn’t in any serious danger," Nuwa replied as she pursed her lips. "Did you worry about me?"

"Of course I was worried," Xuefeng nodded firmly as he embraced her. "I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you."

"Aww..." Nuwa melted into his arms as she wrapped her own around his neck. "Silly, I wouldn’t do anything that would kill me. I had everything under control."

She glanced behind his back and smiled at the approaching person. He noticed her change of expression but when he tried to turn, Nuwa locked on his lips like she never did. Her tongue was like a viper jumping on its prey, before tightening like an anaconda.

With what she has been through Xuefeng didn’t reject her a solid reward while Nuwa took her sweet time to enjoy him. She caressed the back of his head with her nails and tangled her fingers in his hair.

"Ehem..." Anastasia finally coughed from behind to announce her presence but Nuwa only increased her passion in each kiss.

It was a silent battle between the two Queens and this was Nuwa’s way of displaying her superiority. She was the one who ruled in this castle. Watch out before you try to enter.

"Mhmm..." Nuwa let out a soft moan after finally pulling away, but she didn’t let him go, whispering, "I think more than your punishment, we need to think about my reward..."

"We will do whatever you want when the time is right," Xuefeng promised, bringing a grin to Nuwa’s face. She kissed him again to seal the deal and turned them around.

"Ah, my bad. I didn’t see we had a guest," Nuwa apologized while wrapping Xuefeng’s arms around her like a scarf. "You must be the Queen of the Mermaid Race, right?

"I am, indeed," Anastasia nodded, matching Nuwa’s gaze with equal confidence. "You can call me Anastasia. I and Xuefeng can be considered close so we should be friends."

"Hah, why not," Nuwa let out an amused chuckle and grabbed onto Xuefeng’s arm while making sure her wedding ring was in the open. "I’m Nuwa, the Queen of the Forest Elves as well as Xuefeng’s wife. Nice to meet you."
