Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)-Chapter 198: The Battle.

The day of the final battle arrived as darkness spread across the sky. Black clouds swirled above, and lightning flashed with angry bursts. The followers of the Dark God had gathered at the ancient ruins near Lianshan, where the entrance to the hidden tomb lay beneath the waters of a still lake.

Su Yubing stood at the edge of the water, her white robes fluttering in the growing wind. Beside her, Mo Yuxin gripped her sword tightly, her eyes scanning the horizon for enemies. They had traveled far to reach this place, following the ancient clues they had discovered in the temple scrolls.

"They're coming," Su Yubing whispered, feeling the dark energy approaching. "The Dark God has gathered all his followers for this final stand."

Mo Yuxin nodded, her face serious. "Master Tan and Grandmaster Tong are leading the defense in the human cities. The other disciples are helping them keep the innocent safe. It's up to us to face him here."

In the distance, they could see the members of the Cangran Sect preparing for battle. Wu Sanxing, the leader, was giving final instructions to the warriors. Though they weren't as powerful as Su Yubing and Mo Yuxin, their courage was strong.

"Are you afraid?" Mo Yuxin asked, taking Su Yubing's hand.

Su Yubing smiled slightly. "With you by my side? Never."

The ground suddenly shook beneath their feet. The still waters of the lake began to bubble and churn as if boiling. A deep rumbling sound filled the air, and the sky grew even darker. From the center of the lake, a massive structure began to rise – an ancient temple made of black stone, covered in strange symbols that glowed with an eerie purple light.

"The tomb of the Moon Demon," Su Yubing said, her voice barely audible over the roaring water. "The Dark God has awakened it."

As the temple fully emerged from the water, a blinding flash of purple light shot into the sky. When the light faded, a figure stood at the temple's entrance – tall and thin, dressed in flowing black robes that seemed to drink in all light around them. His face was pale and beautiful, but his eyes burned with red fire.

"The Dark God," Mo Yuxin whispered.

The Dark God raised his hands, and from the temple behind him poured hundreds of his followers – humans and demons corrupted by his dark power. Their eyes glowed with the same red fire as their master's, and they carried weapons of strange design.

"Children of Freya," the Dark God's voice boomed across the battlefield. "You have troubled me long enough. Today, I will destroy the barrier between worlds and remake everything in my image."

Su Yubing stepped forward. "We are not afraid of you. Your lies have been exposed. We know what you did in the first war, and we will not let you succeed again."

The Dark God laughed, a sound like breaking glass. "You? The broken Demon Lord and her human pet? You cannot stop what I have set in motion."

With a wave of his hand, the Dark God sent his followers charging toward the Cangran Sect. The battle had begun.

Warriors from both sides clashed in a furious storm of weapons and magic. The Cangran Sect fought bravely, using skills they had practiced for years. Wu Sanxing led from the front, his sword flashing like lightning as he cut down enemy after enemy. Tianji Yuan, Bai Lingshu, and many more elders and disciples started fighting with courage and determination.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing fought side by side, moving toward the temple where the Dark God waited. They cut through his followers with deadly precision – Mo Yuxin's sword singing through the air, Su Yubing's demon magic burning away their enemies.

"We need to reach him," Su Yubing said between attacks. "The longer we wait, the stronger he becomes."

They pushed forward, but the followers seemed endless. For every one they defeated, two more appeared from the temple. The sky grew darker still, and strange energy crackled in the air.

Meanwhile, in the human cities, Master Tan Qingxuan and Grandmaster Tong Rouxi faced their own battles. Dark followers had infiltrated the major towns, causing panic and destruction. The two powerful women worked together flawlessly, their love for each other making their combined power even stronger.

"Keep the barrier up!" Tan Qingxuan called to her lover as she deflected a dark energy blast. "We cannot let any civilians get hurt!"

Tong Rouxi maintained a glowing shield around the town center where hundreds of frightened humans had gathered. Her face showed the strain, but her determination never wavered. "I will hold it as long as needed, my love. Defeat them quickly!"

Back at the battlefield, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing had finally fought their way to the temple steps. The Dark God watched them approach, a cruel smile on his perfect face.

"I have waited centuries for this moment," he said softly. "The final descendants of Freya, coming to die at my feet."

Su Yubing stepped forward. "We are not here to die. We are here to end your reign of darkness."

The Dark God laughed again and raised his hands. Dark energy gathered around him like a storm. "Then come, little Demon Lord. Show me the power you think can match mine."

He struck without warning, sending a massive blast of dark energy toward them. Mo Yuxin leaped in front of Su Yubing, using her sword to cut through the energy. The force of it pushed her back, her boots scraping against the stone steps.

"His power is immense," Mo Yuxin gasped.

Su Yubing nodded, her eyes never leaving the Dark God. "We must work together. Remember the ancient scrolls. His weakness is his pride."

They spread apart, attacking from different angles. Mo Yuxin's sword flashed with growing energy as she called upon her training. Su Yubing summoned her demon powers, her hands glowing with red fire.

The Dark God moved with incredible speed, blocking their attacks and returning his own. His dark energy crashed against them like physical blows, sending them staggering back. But each time they fell, they rose again, their determination unbroken.

"You fight well," the Dark God acknowledged. "But it matters not. The alignment is almost complete. When the moon reaches its peak, my full power will return."

Looking up, they saw he was right. The moon, visible despite the dark clouds, was climbing toward its highest point. They had little time left.

The battle below continued to rage. The Cangran Sect fought bravely, but they were being pushed back. Many had fallen, and the rest were tiring. Wu Sanxing, the elder general of the battle division of Cangran rallied them again and again, his voice strong despite his wounds.

Fourth junior sister Tianji Yuan and her beloved Bai Lingshu worked together like a perfect couple. Bai Lingshu worked in the shadows while Tianji Yuan summoned waves after waves of water as they drowned the enemies in their overwhelming power.

Su Yubing suddenly grabbed Mo Yuxin's arm. "I have an idea. Distract him. I need a moment to prepare."

Mo Yuxin nodded and charged forward, her sword raised high. The Dark God turned to face her, summoning a weapon of dark energy to match her sword. They clashed in a shower of sparks, their weapons moving almost too fast to see.

Mo Yuxin was skilled, her training under Master Tan Qingxuan evident in every move. But the Dark God was ancient and powerful. Slowly, he began to overpower her, forcing her back step by step.

"You are strong, human," he said, his red eyes gleaming. "But you are still just a human."

Behind them, Su Yubing had closed her eyes, drawing upon her powers as the current Demon Lord. She searched within herself for the bloodline power she knew lay dormant inside her. The power that connected her to Freya herself.

"Not yet," Mo Yuxin grunted, blocking another powerful strike. "I am more than just human. I am the one who loves the Demon Lord!"

Her declaration seemed to give her new strength. Her sword began to glow with a blue light, and sparks like lightning danced along its edge. The Dark God's eyes widened slightly.

"Impossible," he whispered. "The bloodline of thunder..."

Mo Yuxin felt power surging through her body, a tingling sensation that grew stronger with each heartbeat. The lightning around her sword intensified, crackling with energy. When she struck again, the force was so great that the Dark God was driven back for the first time.

"Su Yubing!" Mo Yuxin called. "Now!"

Su Yubing's eyes snapped open, but they were no longer their usual color. They glowed with an intense red light, brighter than the Dark God's own eyes. Her body rose into the air, surrounded by a whirlwind of red energy.

"I am Su Yubing," her voice echoed strangely, as if many voices spoke through her. "Descendant of Freya, current Demon Lord, and protector of both worlds. I call upon the ancient power of my bloodline!"

The red energy around her intensified, becoming so bright that even the Dark God had to shield his eyes. When the light faded, Su Yubing had changed. Her white robes had transformed into armor of deep crimson, adorned with the symbols of the first Demon Lords. Behind her, ghostly wings of energy spread wide.

"No!" the Dark God screamed. "That power was sealed away!"

Su Yubing smiled, a fierce and beautiful expression. "Not sealed. Waiting. Waiting for one who would use it to protect rather than destroy."

She raised her hand, and in it appeared a strange object – a crystal orb that seemed to contain two miniature worlds spinning around each other. The myriad duo world connector, the legendary treasure that could bridge the gap between the human and demon worlds.

"Where did you get that?" the Dark God demanded, his voice shaking for the first time.

"It came to me," Su Yubing replied simply. "It responds to the true bloodline of Freya, and to the desire to unite rather than divide."

The orb began to glow, responding to Su Yubing's awakened power. Streams of energy flowed from it into her body, increasing her strength exponentially. The power was so great that the ground beneath her feet cracked and floated upward, defying gravity.

Mo Yuxin watched in awe, but she too felt a change within herself. The thunder energy in her sword had spread throughout her body. Blue lightning crackled around her, and her eyes glowed with the same electric blue.

"The bloodline of thunder," the Dark God said, backing away. "How did a human come to possess it?"

Mo Yuxin didn't know the answer herself, but she felt the power responding to her emotions, to her love for Su Yubing and her determination to protect both worlds.

"It doesn't matter how," she said, raising her lightning-wrapped sword. "What matters is that we will use these powers to defeat you."

The Dark God's fear turned to rage. With a roar that shook the temple, he gathered all his dark energy into a massive attack. The black and purple power swirled around him like a tornado, tearing stones from the temple and crushing them to dust.

"I will destroy you both!" he screamed. "And then I will tear down the barrier between worlds and rule over the chaos!"

He launched his attack, a beam of concentrated darkness that shot toward Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing with devastating force. But they were ready. Su Yubing placed herself in front of Mo Yuxin, the myriad duo world connector held before her like a shield. Mo Yuxin placed her hands on Su Yubing's shoulders, directing her thunder power to join with Su Yubing's demon energy.

When the Dark God's attack struck the orb, it didn't break through. Instead, it seemed to be absorbed, drawn into the miniature worlds spinning within the crystal. The Dark God's eyes widened in shock.

"Impossible!" he cried.

Su Yubing smiled again. "You never understood, did you? The true power of Freya wasn't destruction – it was balance. The myriad duo world connector doesn't just connect the worlds; it maintains their harmony."

She thrust the orb forward, and all the dark energy the Dark God had sent came rushing back toward him, but transformed. What had been black and purple was now shot through with red and blue – the combined power of the Demon Lord and the bloodline of thunder.

The Dark God tried to escape, but it was too late. The energy struck him with full force, lifting him off his feet and slamming him against the temple wall. His body began to crack like porcelain, lines of light breaking through his perfect skin.

"This is not the end!" he screamed. "I cannot be destroyed!"

Su Yubing and Mo Yuxin approached him slowly, their combined power still flowing through the orb.
