Velzard felt immensely disheartened. She took the initiative to sever her magicule connection with Veldora.
Even the Ultimate Power she had taken from Rin was returned.
These actions clearly conveyed Velzard's decision.
She had conceded.
"Already falling into despair?"
However, just as Velzard was wallowing in her emotions, Rin's voice roused her.
"The legendary Frost Dragon, and this is all you amount to?"
Rin leaned forward slightly, as if their positions had reversed from before.
"Otherwise?"
Velzard had already realized the gap between herself and Rin.
With Violet's blessing, Rin's use of Void God was flawless.
He could casually create a universe in his palm, wielding the authority of creation and destruction.
In Velzard's memory, apart from the Star King Dragon, no one else could do such a thing.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to show you more."
"But your vision is so narrow. It's truly disappointing."
Rin's mocking words made the resigned Velzard both angry and ashamed. "What do you mean? Are you saying this still isn't your full power?"
"Of course."
As Rin spoke, boundless rainbow light erupted from behind him—the very God's Ring he had shown Velzard before.
"These..."
Velzard still didn't understand what those light rings were.
What were they used for?
Were they just for show?
"Watch closely."
Not making her wait long, Rin raised his other True Dragon claw.
Bang!
With a crisp shattering sound, one of the God's Rings broke apart.
In the next instant, infinite laws of power surged into Rin's body. Then, in his now-empty True Dragon claw, he recreated a Void Universe not much smaller than the previous one.
The so-called Void Universe was a primordial world containing only space-time and dark matter.
"This!!"
Velzard vaguely understood. She looked at Rin's Dragon God form with disbelief, her gaze shifting behind him on instinct.
"One, two, three..."
Nine! Behind Rin, there were nine more God's Rings!
"So you've realized."
Rin spoke in a calm tone, delivering words that completely shattered Velzard's perception. "Each of these God's Rings stores creation-level power, enough to be unleashed only when I expend all of my magicules."
Using an Ultimate Skill wasn't free of cost.
On the contrary, they consumed a massive amount of magicules.
Without an enormous magicule reserve and a matching recovery rate, one couldn't wield true Ultimate Power.
Yet now, Rin had laid a merciless truth before Velzard.
He had pre-stored ten full charges of creation power.
Such a vast reserve of energy—forget just her—even if four, five, seven, or eight more opponents showed up, it would still mean certain death.
"The gap..."
Velzard sighed. "Is it really this wide?"
This battle had utterly crushed her pride, making her realize her own insignificance and ignorance.
"I lost."
"Do what you want. Kill me, flay me, I won't resist."
Velzard wasn't the type to drag things out after losing.
Just as she had easily defeated Veldora, believing that her weaker younger brother should listen to her.
She also followed the orders of the Star King Dragon and admitted defeat to Guy, whom she couldn't beat.
Now, Rin had crushed both her body and will with overwhelming strength.
Without a doubt, as the victor, Rin had the right to deal with her however he wished.
"Do you know why I showed you these?"
"Hmm?"
Velzard looked into Rin's dragon eyes, confused.
"You've been stagnant for a long time, haven't you, my dear sister?"
"During our battle, I could sense your desire to grow stronger."
Velzard didn't mind the way he addressed her. She had lived for countless years.
Whether in terms of seniority or bloodline, letting Rin call her 'Sister' didn't put him at any disadvantage.
"And also..."
Rin smiled. "How long has it been since you've released your power so freely, like just now?"
"Heh..."
"You've seen right through me."
Velzard wasn't angry. She was the Frost Dragon who sought strength and yearned for battle.
Unfortunately, her strength was far too inferior to Rin's.
"You're the same..."
Velzard could also see Rin's true nature. He too was pursuing even greater strength. "Sorry I couldn't give you a satisfying fight, little brother. I've failed as a sister."
"Then keep pushing yourself to become stronger."
On Rin's Dragon God form, a strange scene unfolded again.
Red, vein-like cracks began spreading from both of his dragon claws, crawling up to his shoulders.
However, these blood-red lines didn't diminish his divine majesty at all. Instead, they gave off a ferocious, overwhelming presence.
"There's more?!"
Velzard was utterly speechless. She had thought Void God, empowered by Violet, was already invincible.
She never imagined that Rin's Dragon God form would completely shatter everything she believed about power.
But it didn't stop there.
The existence of the God's Rings had already flipped her worldview upside down, filling her with despair.
Now came the Command Spells...
What more could she even say?
"You, you're simply a monster!"
"What is this power?"
She couldn't understand it. She couldn't analyze it. Velzard couldn't even feel a trace of threat from it.
But how could that be?
'Is this... another power that defies the system, like those God's Rings before?'
That was all she could think of. She no longer suppressed her curiosity and asked directly, "Where did you get all these strange abilities?"
"I call them Special Skills."
"Special Skills?"
"Star particle?"
Velzard exclaimed in shock, "Are your abilities on the same level as star particle?!"
"Yeah."
Rin admitted it without hesitation. "It's just as you think."
"I possess multiple powers comparable to star particle."
Magicules Solidification, God's Ring, Command Spells... like star particle, these were abilities that would grow stronger as Rin himself did.
They didn't have fixed levels. In fact, they weren't even classified as skills.
If he had to describe them, Rin felt there was a word that fit perfectly.
'Worldview.'
