Chapter 656 Enacting Divine Punishment!
Elayne swung Morpheus, absorbing the Nightmare Energy out of the dozens of tentacles attacking her and her friends, empowering her own Magic Power as she unleashed a barrage of Holy Spirit Smites with Irene\'s Holy Spirit Hammer form, which also came combined with her Great Spiritual Explosion Ability for even greater results!
CRASH! CRASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH!
"[Dream Spirit Call]!"
At the same time, Elayne called for the aid of Dream Spirits, as countless tiny Lesser Dream Spirits emerged out of thin air, the Real-World fusing with the Nightmare World made it very easy to call for them.
In this dire situation, their adorable little appearances, varying from small floating spheres of pink light to tiny butterflies, toys, or even cupcakes and cake slices, quickly merged together by Elayne\'s orders.
"[Dream-Piercing Nightmare Spears]!"
The Dream Spirits fused in mere seconds, channeling Morpheus Nightmare Energy he had previously absorbed, constantly creating pure black spears made of nightmares, each one as large as ten meters.
The tentacles were struck down and then pierced by countless Nightmarish Spears, their bodies quickly beginning to flail agonizingly, crumbling apart, and exploding.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"GRUUUAAAAARRGH!"
The monstrous Nightmarish Void Entity that was fused with the Nightmare World of Dorothea and controlling this entire fusion between realities roared in agony!
"Stop it! STOP ALREADY!" Dorothea screamed. "My creation\'s being overwhelmed?! B-But how?! It is made of all my Nightmares! It is my strongest creation yet!"
"Not for long!"
Elayne rushed forward, leaping out of Falco once more right after he brought her and her friends towards the center of the spiraling nightmare void where Dorothea controlled the Nightmarish Tentacles.
"One last time…! [Pathway]!"
FLAAAASH!
The power of the Divine Gods of Arcadia was activated a second time already, this was Elayne\'s current limits, that she was doing this now meant she was betting it all for this moment!
[The Divinity [All Mother of Life and Souls] has manifested herself]
[The Divinity [Dark Lady Dressed By The Night] has manifested herself]
[The Divinity [Furious King of Blazing Flames] has manifested himself]
[The Divinity [Lady Mother of Earth and Ores] has manifested herself]
[The Divinity [Ruler of the Stars] has manifested herself]
[The Divinity [Wise King of Creation] has manifested himself!]
[Several other Divinities have manifested themselves!]
The divinity of countless colors channeled across her body, and quickly exuded around her friends and even Falco, Blackie, and Whitey, their familiars.
"W-What is that power?!" Dorothea screamed, having nowhere else to escape now that she was being so cornered. Her nightmare was already half taken over by Elayne\'s Terrain of Nature and Life, and hundreds of Lesser Spirits were floating everywhere, which were dangerous for a malefic being such as her. "G-Get away!"
She quickly shapeshifted the Nightmarish Void Entity into a gigantic red eye, channeling her Mana into it and firing several beams of darkness and red energy towards her foes.
"[Abyssal Nightmare Beams]!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, Elayne and her friends intercepted the attacks, combining their magic and powers with the divinities emerging from Elayne\'s [Pathway] ability, striking the gigantic beams with their weapons, while Elayne readied her Shield!
"T-This…! Y-YOUUU!"
Dorothea was growing desperate and afraid! Quickly beginning to tear apart the Nightmare World and gathering it around her, burning it with her desire for revenge as Black Nightmare Flames appeared around Monica\'s body, resembling an armor.
"[Infernal Nightmare Flames Sentinel]! HYAAAAH!"
With a desperate, maddening scream, Dorothea leaped to battle while shapeshifting the entity\'s eye into a gigantic black axe, striking down her foes and attempting to end them with everything she had!
"[Abyssal Nightmare Flame Axe]!"
CRAAAAASSSSSH!!!
However, Elayne\'s powerful shield protected them all, her eyes blazing with rainbow flames as her shield, blessed by Gaia herself, channeled her powers!
"[Spiritual Scale Fortress]! [Life\'s Dragon Shield]!"
Combining the shield\'s two out of three innate abilities, Dorothea realized that Elayne had created a near impenetrable barrier made of countless dragon scales, further reinforced by the divinities flowing from [Pathway]!
"W-Wha…!?" Dorothea\'s face distorted in disbelief once more, incapable of accepting that Elayne was resisting her attacks. "This can\'t be… THIS CAN\'T BE! I WON\'T ACCEPT THIS! YOU DAMNED YGGDRASIL!!! DIE! DIE! DIE!!!"
With desperate, insane screams, the adorable girl possessing Monica kept transforming into a monstrous specter made of nightmares, hitting the shield\'s barrier constantly, slowly beginning to shatter it with her powerful Axe!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Crack, crack… CRACK!
"Get ready!" Elayne said, as if ignoring Dorothea\'s tantrum as her friends started to gather all their power together into their weapons. "[Nightmare Absorption]! [Spirit Tempest]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Morpheus activated its Spell, absorbing the Nightmare Energy coming from Dorothea, as her armor of Nightmare Flames and even her Weapon weakened, growing smaller alongside her own size and power!
"U-Urgh! That blasted power again!!!" Dorothea screamed, hitting the barrier by summoning hundreds of Nightmare Eyes. "Come her and FACE MEEEE!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Nightmare Eyes fired hundreds of red lasers against the barrier, as it finally reached its limits after a while, shattering into pieces!
And in that moment, Elayne leaped directly towards Dorothea, or well, Monica!
"What are you…?!"
"[Divine Chains of Judgement]!"
FLAAASH! FLAAASH! FLAAASH!
Before she could finish her words, Dorothea\'s vessel, Monica, was wrapped by Divine Chains, these were the divine version of Elayne\'s [Life and Light Chains of Restraint]! Now much stronger, glowing with rainbow light.
Her body was suddenly restrained, as Monica\'s appearance could be finally seen beneath the Nightmare Flames consuming her. She looked terrible! Too pale, her eyes were white, her hair was dry, and her body almost skeletal, Dorothea was pushing her too much, and she was about to hit her limits and die.
"L-LET ME GO!!!"
Dorothea screamed in fury and agony, madly attacking Elayne with her attacks, only for a sudden shockwave of the Divinity of Life and Nature to encompass her and her vessel, and everyone else around!
"[Gaia\'s Divine Dragon Domain]!"
FLAAAASH!
Activating the newest Ability that Gaia had left into her Shield, a domain channeling Gaia\'s divinity, that could only be activated with [Pathway], emerged!
And this Life and Nature energy was like fire to Dorothea, burning her horribly!
"GRYYAAAAAAGGH…!"
"I won\'t let you hurt little Monica any longer, you monster!"
