Although Frost was unable to recognize her, the half-dead Partner and Lucifer immediately did. Even as different as she looked right now, she was still their beloved Maria, their wife and love of their lives. But why was she so different and… electrifying?!
"Maria?! You're here?! Did you beat that witch?!" Asked Lucifer while trying to slowly stand up.
"It's you! But… not completely?" Partner noticed that Maria's presence seemed "incomplete" it wasn't the complete package.
"Yep, let's say I separated myself." Maria giggled while lightning emerged out of her body with each of her words.
Thanks to her brand-new Divine Privilege, Divided Egos, Maria was now able to divide herself based on either Divinities she possessed or Body-type Skills. And amongst every living being or unliving being in this world, Maria possessed the most "Body-type" Skills, at five!
This meant she was able to embody each of such Skills and divide herself five times all at once! Of course, dividing herself meant dividing her powers and limiting each Ego. Though, with the Privilege abilities, even the divided egos received insanely high stat boosts.
And right now, Maria's Ego was that of her brand new Body Skill she acquired after devouring Thor's Divine Spirit Vessel, the [Divine Thunder Spirit Body] Skill!
"So Zero was defeated?!" Said Frost. "You're Maria, isn't it? Have you finally come to help your allies? I was about to slay them- well, I can still do it!"
Frost didn't waited for Maria's answer as he generated dozens of Blades made out of his own metallic body and then fired them at an incredibly rapid speed towards his foes, aiming to impale them both a hundred times and have them die agonizingly!
FLAAASH!
However, Maria's speed was much, much faster than those projectiles. Thanks to being the Ego of her [Divine Thunder Spirit Body] Skill, she was completely made out of lightning and could concentrate in this element alone without having all her other powers get in the way.
This made it so instead of being weaker than her former self, she was able to improve the specializations of each Body-type Skill to a completely new level!
ZAAAP!
In less than a second, Partner and Lucifer disappeared from the snow-covered battlefield as Frost's projectiles only hit the snow and nothing else.
"T-That speed… It felt as if she had become Thor himself!" Thought Frost, panicking as he finally managed to find her once more, a few hundreds of meters behind him.
"M-Maria… You look different… Are you alright?" Lucifer muttered.
"Are you okay? Where is Emeraldine?" Wondered Partner.
"Hehe, you two are always worried about me, just look at yourselves!" Sighed Maria, quickly unpacking two Elixirs and feeding them to the two.
FLUOSH!
Their bodies quickly began to recover their health and mana, as the two felt much better. They were special elixirs, especially made for Lucifer and Partner she made on her way here.
"Hahhh… Thank you, but how can we even kill that thing? You're fast but…!" Lucifer said.
"Yeah, for once I agree with the grumpy old dragon." Partner sighed.
"You're both right. This form of mine is not as strong as my true form. In fact I might not truly be as strong as an S Rank, probably S-?" Wondered Maria.
"Then how are we even winning against this bastard?!" Partner panicked. "Maybe we have to run away and think about a strategy later."
"Yeah, we should-" Lucifer agreed.
"Wait a bit! I am a Spirit, right? So let's do this the right way! [Divine Spirit Soul Connection]! [Spirit Fusion]!" Maria said, as she quickly activated both of these powerful Skills. Her entire body transformed into pure spiritual energy, which fused into both Lucifer and Partner in mere seconds.
"T-This power… what is this feeling?!" Lucifer was shocked.
"Woaaaah!" Partner panicked.
FLAAAAAASH!!!
ZAAP! ZAAP! ZAAAP!
"UNNGGH?! What the…?!" Frost panicked, as he saw Maria unleash an incredibly bright lightning shockwave everywhere. "Hah! Whatever you're planning, it simply won't work! I am much stronger than before after fusing with that Divine Artifact, in fact, the cores I have can multiply as I wish! I've only been humoring you two because I admire your tenacity, but this is over, and I might avenge Zero while I am at it!"
Frost had enough of these two, as he charged forward by shaping his lower half like the body of a gigantic metallic horse, making him resemble a mechanic minotaur. His two arms transformed into gigantic swords, as he swung them furiously against the trio, with enough power to destroy a whole city.
"PERISH!"
CLAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHHH!!!!
CRACKLE…!
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
However, instead of being greeted with all three of them shredded into pieces, Frost was as both of them had suddenly transformed and changed! Using their hands alone, they stopped both of his swords, and even began shattering them apart.
"WHAT?!" Frost was so flabbergasted he couldn't keep himself balanced, having to step back, only for his arms to be pulled down by Partner and Lucifer and then shattered apart!
CRAAAASH!
"AAGGH…! Y-You bastards! What sort of trick have you two pulled out now?!" Frost roared furiously, noticing that Maria was no longer present there. "Wait, don't tell me she…!"
"You're calling our new form asspulls when you suddenly revived out of nowhere with your damn divine shield?" Partner said while being furious. Her appearance had once more changed.
This time her hair was golden colored, emanating sharp thunderous electricity all around herself. Her eyes were now purple colored, while her entire dress had become a combination between lightning and black clouds. Her two spears have now disappeared as well, as they fused with Lucifer's scythe into a powerful divine weapon.
"I can't believe this was possible…" Lucifer said with a smile.
His body had suddenly turned golden and purple, reflecting the color of the lightning of Maria's Body. His wings became sharp like thunder and his tail gained a lightning-shaped spear tip. His powerful phantasmal scythe had merged with Partner's twin spears.
And the divine weapon they created was…
