nKeira was stunned by Beatrice’s power while being in close proximity, despite the woman herself not exhibiting anything. Her attention was soon stolen away by a similar but far stronger power than what she exhibited that was rapidly approaching them from afar.

nIt turned out that Beatrice was looking out in that direction with narrowed eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. Keira only saw a comet-like streak hurtling towards them at speeds she couldn’t have fathomed before her current awakening, reaching their position in the blink of an eye.

nThe greenish-orange light dissipated to reveal a tall dark-skinned woman with a very voluptuous body, being far superior to Aisha but one level below Beatrice. She had short cropped hair with a fade on the side, two dark brown eyes filled with intensity, and small pursed lips.

nShe was dressed in what seemed to be a suit of armor made from green leaves that were woven expertly and aesthetically, highlighting her feminine assets without compromising on the protective aspect for vital areas.

nThe woman scanned the other two females here and her eyes fell on Keira first. There was a hint of surprise as she called out to Keira. “Sister Keira, you have awakened as well?”

nKeira hesitated and shook her head. “Not fully. I do remember things about forest fairies and the like, but I don’t know who you are.”

n“Oh…” Valeria muttered with obvious disappointment.

nShe then turned to glance at Beatrice, who had folded her arms and was looking at her coldly. Frowning, Valeria turned to Keira again and asked. “A friend of yours?”

nKeira turned to Beatrice and distanced herself immediately. “No, I don’t know her. She brought me here saying she was looking for someone… and I think that person might be you.”

nValeria turned to size up Beatrice. “Hmm? And what could you possibly want with me to the point where you would kidnap one of my sisters?”

nBeatrice sighed. “Finally decided to look over here huh? You’re quite the funny person and far shallower than how he described you.”

n“What?” Valeria’s expression darkened at the comment, but Beatrice continued without caring.

n“My name is Beatrice Alighieri. Oh, you know that last name huh? That’s good because I am currently the wife and soulmate of Dante Alighieri.” Beatrice casually introduced herself, smiling when Valeria’s expression changed as she mentioned her affiliation.

n“Dante?! You know him?!” Valeria exclaimed, a mixture of excitement and anxiety in her voice, both of which made Beatrice’s casual demeanor shift greatly.

n“…Why is there joy in your voice when talking about my husband?” Beatrice asked slowly and dangerously.

nValeria sized up Beatrice once more, and a hint of disapproval and disdain appeared on her face. “When Dante called me that day to break our relationship off, I was devastated. I couldn’t think of a woman better than me on planet earth, but I respected his decision anyway.”

n“I left the planet and secluded myself in space to recover my power as much as I could and then come back to take him away from this lower dimensional world.”

n“The entire time, the woman who managed to take him away from me was one I pictured to be transcendent and awesome, on the level of General Lara.”

nValeria paused and raised her nose slightly. “However… it’s just you?”

nBeatrice raised an eyebrow and then smiled coldly. “Glad to hear that. I originally came to beat you up a bit to vent my anger, but hearing that you actually plan to steal Dante from me gives me the right to go further.”

n“Oh, I am going to enjoy this.” Beatrice stated as her body lit up with her origin power of physical strength, fueled by her endless origin energy.

n“What?! Origin Power? Origin Energy?” Valeria only had the time to exclaim this before Beatrice charged at her, cracking space with just the movement of her body from her sheer strength.

nShe then threw a simple punch forward which was coated with a brownish aura, this blow causing quakes that traveled through space to destroy nearby planets and asteroids within a 100 light years into fine powder.

nIt had not even landed on its target yet and this was the effect. Valeria felt the severity of this blow and knew she had deeply underestimated her rival, which could lead to a terrible outcome if she didn’t rectify this.

nAs such, she also utilized her Origin Power as a forest fairy to generate the element of wood within the void of space, creating a giant forest in front of her that had thick wooden trunks as branches and lively vines as leaves.

nWith a grunt, Valeria sent the forest to attack Beatrice who was rushing head-on while trying to create some distance for herself. However, she could only exclaim in shock as Beatrice simply released her charged blow upon the entirety of the forest, clearing away more than 60% of its mass in one go.

nValeria was shocked because this was her strongest technique, the strongest ability of all forest fairies. Sure, due to her power still awakening, it was only around 30% of its full power at its peak, but that was because as commander-level forest fairy, she was at least universe-level in terms of her Origin Power, if not outright half Eternal.

nHowever, for a lower-dimensional life form who miraculously became an Origin Goddess to use a casual attack to destroy a large amount of it in one go was unheard of! Just what kind of freak did Dante go and find for himself this time, Valeria couldn’t help but wonder.

n“Hmm, is that all you have? If so, I will begin fighting seriously now.” Beatrice paused to say with a hint of arrogance.

n“Ha. You are only at the Nebula level in your Origin Power at best, yet you dare speak so arrogantly?” Valeria rolled her eyes and responded with amusement as well as mocking.

nBeatrice waved a hand to the side and seemed to call out something. “Heh, while that might be the case the breadth of my powers is not limited to just this. Say hi to a good friend of mine who likes to expand to perfection.”

nBeside Beatrice was Biggie, who had been called from her soul space. The moment Biggie appeared, he roared his usual desire into the universe as he began wantonly absorbing Beatrice’s Origin Energy to make it happen.

n“I want to be big! I’m talking HUGE!” Biggie cried out and began to expand greatly.

nHowever, the Infinity Beast expanding was not the actual problem. The real problem was that Beatrice also began to expand in size along with him, becoming a veritable behemoth that floated in space, more than twice the size of an average planet.

nKeira had already been smart enough to evacuate the area when they started fighting, using her newly awakened power to protect herself from the aftershocks, but she was left flabbergasted by the sudden change that she could never have predicted.

nValeria was even worse, being the target that was being suppressed by the woman before her. Beatrice’s size coupled with her origin power gave her an exponential boost that not even Dante could have pictured when he handed Biggie over to her.

nBeatrice grinned and raised her right fist to punch down towards Valeria, not exhibiting the typical slowness of giant beings since she was in the void of spaceand there was no air pressure to limit her.

nLooking at that gigantic fist that encompassed the area covering tens of light-years around her, Valeria knew there was no chance of escape. She would have to tank this blow head-on or be vanquished, and that was a fate she was not willing to accept as a higher-dimensional being existing in lower space.

nValeria burned her origin energy crazily as she infused it into her origin power bestowed by Myra upon the creation of every forest fairy, which was the law of nature and life. The shattered forest that existed within space began to crazily grow to match Beatrice’s size, hundreds of dryads and ents being born that roared with madness, striking forth to catch the incoming blow.

nMeanwhile, Beatrice, who was smiling playfully, also unleashed more power into her blow, making the brownish aura that covered her fist – which represented her origin power – extend all the way up to her shoulder.

nWhen the charged blow clashed with the forest, this time it didn’t shatter its target once and for all. After all, Valeria had squeezed out every bit of her power this time and while Beatrice was certainly at an advantage, it was not so easy for Origin Gods to defeat each other at once.

n“Oh? You’re quite resilient.” Beatrice mocked, but secretly felt dissatisfied internally. .𝒎

nValeria panted, but the smile of accomplishment couldn’t be hidden on her face. “You have done well to become an Origin God, far better than I expected. But as expected of a being trapped in the lower-dimensional world, you don’t have much common sense about Origin Gods and how we fight.”

n“It is not impossible for us to call a truce. Let us seek Dante and see his opinion on which of us is more suited to him as a partner. In the meantime, I can teach you about Origin Gods and how to maximize your power.” Valeria quickly offered before Beatrice could throw another of those blows, because she was not sure she could take it.
