This is destined to be a war too brutal to watch, Ash has no chance of winning. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He can’t even touch Death Mad, while Death Mad can freely torment him. Ash still doesn’t understand what form Death Mad exists in, it’s always Death Mad hitting him, never him hitting Death Mad... Even against Sonia, he’s never felt this stifled!

He can’t even use Miracle or Wonder, neither "Sword Barrier" nor "Refraction Protection" can withstand Death Mad’s sword edge. She seems to turn into a solid entity only when touching Ash, forcing him into a swordsmanship duel.

Thus, not only Ash’s body but even his spirit was brutally humiliated.

"Weak on the forehand, unrefined on the backhand, sloppy footwork, not a single decent move." Amidst the fierce sword fight, Death Mad effortlessly taunted, "With your mere skill, aren’t you afraid of angering Sonia and getting sliced in half?"

"Afraid."

"Afraid yet you dare?"

"Maybe I can always make her happy?"

"You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin, huh?" Death Mad laughed angrily, twisting her wrist, and her circular Water Moon Sword Formation almost knocked Ash’s sweet words and a hidden dagger flying. Then she spun gracefully like a crescent moon and landed a precise spinning kick on Ash’s head, pressing him into the sea!

A hundred-meter wave rose from the sea and quickly turned into drizzling rain. Ash stood in the rain on the sea, twisted his neck, and suddenly asked, "Why is it that I have mastered divine power, yet you can still hit me?"

In the past two months, Ash has only been responsible for providing entertainment projects to fatigued operators, but don’t forget he shares experience with them. As Sword Maiden and others rapidly advance their realm, Ash has also surpassed the legendary limit, reaching the Divine Domain in swordsmanship, time, truth, and soul factions.

Body Technique’s extreme divine power, Shooting Technique’s extreme Divine Prison. If Ash were to comprehend divine power alone it’d be difficult, but Sword Maiden mastered divine power a month ago, with her hands-on guidance, it was almost impossible for Ash not to learn.

The strength of divine power lies in not needing any Technique Spirit, using body technique to dispel all wonders and negate all damage.

The most powerful divine power Ash has seen is Demon Ruin’s "Divine Power Body," where all muscles can unleash divine power. He even suspects Demon Ruin’s hair strands can deploy divine power, considered a perfect and flawless Absolute Defense. However, in the bizarre demon wars, this kind of Absolute Defense that can only prevent external damage is just a trivial passive skill.

Now Ash, Sonia, and Diya can all unleash divine power, with Diya being the least restricted, able to use both fists and feet, but consuming a lot of mind energy, needing at least three seconds to recover; Sonia can only use her sword, but can repeatedly activate it over a short time, for up to a minute, only usable once per battle; Ash is the weakest, able to use sword and fists, but with a cooldown time of over five seconds.

Ash tried several times to counter with divine power, only to be beaten more severely. It made him suspect whether divine power has levels, like regular divine power, advanced divine power, legendary divine power...

"Divine power can only dispel once, you think it’s ineffective, but it’s actually working. It’s just that my reactions and changing moves are quicker, how can you dispel my assault with just one divine power?" Death Mad landed in front of him, sneering, "The only ones qualified to clash divine power with me are Observer and Black Demon. Not just you, even Dazzling Star who recently became Supreme of Magic is not my match."

"Your divine power’s cooldown is too long, and you haven’t utilized fists and feet effectively, like a fool, only swinging an iron stick." She critiqued bluntly, "The purpose of divine power isn’t combat, it’s cultivation. This is the advantage of all technique stream Demigods. Divine power and Divine Prison are actually the best ways for mages to seek inward and perfect heart, technique, and body."

"Perfect in body refinement, soul body everywhere is Divine Weapon; skill perfected at the summit, even hair and skin can activate divine power; if the heart is like flawless crystal, then one can act freely, unimpeded, divine power becomes instinct deeply embedded in the soul, immune to all external harm."

Ash immediately thought of the divine power expert he had seen before, "Le Huai..."

"Body and technique are well trained, but the heart is far from complete," Death Mad pointed out, "The Imaginary Music Master’s body technique talent is the best among the six Divine Lords, in the same category as Dazzling Star, but a body technique only used for slaughter fails to satisfy his ideal pursuit. Since he leveraged the Heavenly Kingdom, he probably hasn’t improved his body technique... Now his body technique realm is even inferior to Lord of Infinite Abyss."

"I don’t expect you to grind heart, technique, and body to my level," she glanced at Ash, "but you should train divine power more with Sonia, your level is just perfect for feeding her moves."

Ash nodded, "Should I call the Witch together? She also knows divine power."

"Is your brain filled with some white turbid liquid?" Death Mad directly raised her hand and furiously slapped his head, "You want Sonia to see you teaming up with Lissdia to hit her? What would she think? Huh? Do you hope for her personality shift this much?"

Ash raised his hands defensively, arguing, "It’s just for cultivation, I think Sword Maiden wouldn’t think so much..."

"She’s happy now, surely won’t think that much!" Death Mad said, with each word punctuated by a slap, "but what if one day she feels wronged? Do you think she’s the type not to hold grudges? When all new and old scores are calculated, the more she thinks, the angrier she’ll get... If you can leave a whole corpse, I’ll admit defeat!"

"She wouldn’t, at most she’ll only beat me half to death!" Ash replied confidently.

Death Mad kicked his butt angrily, placing the sword blade against his neck, "Go train your divine power with Sonia alone, understood? When she sweats, you wipe it, when she’s thirsty, you hand her a drink, when she’s exhausted—"

"Go on a date to relax!" Ash immediately responded, "I understand."

"...Alright then." Death Mad withdrew the sword blade, took out a cigarette pack, tapped out a cigarette, and clamped it in her mouth, looking at him. Ash blinked, realized he should light the cigarette for his sister, then quickly hid his hand behind him.

Death Mad raised her chin elegantly, exhaling a smoke ring, and told him, "Take your hand out."

Ash shook his head repeatedly, "Why?"

"Because last night Sonia didn’t want to, but you insisted on turning on the light," Death Mad said, "You always go against her wishes."

"But I really think she’s beautiful," Ash muttered, "I think I should convey this feeling to her properly..."

Since he’d already been beaten up before, there’s no harm in one more, so Ash extended his palm. Death Mad glanced at him, slapped his palm, then turned and said, "Let’s go."
