MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 1005: Quantum Manipulation Versus Omniedit

Aura Nova remained silent for a moment. Her severed hands regenerated the next second, flesh and bone reforming seamlessly, yet she did not move. She already understood the reality before her, any form of close quarters combat against Anthony was simply futile.

Her sword techniques? Although she would not readily admit it aloud, she was no longer confident that she could injure Anthony with them. After all, Anthony dominated in pure swordsmanship. His control over Sword Intent alone was overwhelming, refined to a level that bordered on tyranny. And it was extremely likely that his own personally created sword techniques were nothing to scoff at either.

That left her with only one viable option, her innate ability; Omniedit.

”Are you done already?” Anthony asked casually. His tone was light; he was not looking down on her. He was merely teasing her the way one might tease a close friend. ”If you are, then pull out your Omniedit. I want to know whether your innate ability or my unique ability will overpower the other,” he added, the same calm smile resting on his lips.

The unique ability he referred to was Quantum Manipulation.

The last time he had used that ability had been during his battle against a group of Angels, when he had converted them into demons through sheer dominion over biological structures.

From this point onward, it would be Omniedit versus Quantum Manipulation.

Aura Nova did not respond verbally. She had never been much of a talker when her life was on the line. She did not ask which unique ability Anthony meant; knowing in advance would not alter the outcome. She could always ask him after their battle.

Without another word, her mana erupted from her mana core like a tidal tsunami poised to erase an entire solar system from the galactic map. It did not merely surge, it roared outward with catastrophic intent.

Anthony merely whistled softly at the display, watching with interest while refraining from releasing his own mana.

Omniedit: Command: Source Edit: Solar Eruption

The instant the command left her lips, an astronomical quantity of mana detonated from Aura Nova’s body. The air trembled violently, as though it were on the verge of shattering. Heat began to rise at an exponential rate. The once-beautiful blue sky bled into a violent crimson. Space itself began to liquefy.

Then an overwhelming torrent of all-devouring explosions tore outward with immeasurable magnitude. The force carried within the eruption was enough to burn suns and tear stars asunder as though they were mere parchment.

The entire separate plane seemed as though it were about to collapse inward upon itself. Space, air, sound, wind, trees, mountains, everything erupted into blinding solar flares. Reality screamed under the weight of the distortion.

Anthony grinned, he sheathed his katana smoothly as his own mana erupted from his core. His lips parted, and his voice echoed calmly across the collapsing plane.

Quantum Manipulation: Instant Reversal

The moment the command was spoken, his mana poured outward with maddening intensity, bleeding directly into the fabric of reality itself.

Immediately, Aura Nova’s apocalyptic attack halted, it folded inward upon itself, then collapsed. And then vanished entirely, as though it had never existed.

The heat dissipated. The crimson sky reverted. The catastrophic destruction rewound and erased. It was not blocked. It was not countered. It was reversed.

Anthony had undone her Solar Eruption with effortless ease.

But Aura Nova was not finished.

A faint smile curved her lips. If there was one thing she truly enjoyed, it was abusing Omniedit to its fullest extent.

Omniedit: Command: Source Edit: Volcanic Detonation

Her mana pulsed again, but this time it surged downward. It blasted from beneath her feet and slammed violently into the earth, burrowing as though seeking the tectonic foundations of the separate plane, if such structures even existed.

The next instant, volcanic eruptions spanning millions of megameters detonated simultaneously. The force was choking, annihilating. Rivers of magma surged upward in titanic pillars.

Seeing the magma about to engulf him, Anthony leaped into the air. But the moment he ascended, the sky above split open. A colossal chasm tore across the heavens, revealing the peaks of millions of volcanoes suspended above. From that fracture, oceans of magma poured downward, molten streams capable of melting reality itself.

Anthony smiled his body became a blur as he weaved effortlessly through the cascading inferno, moving as though he were enjoying a dance rather than evading annihilation.

Quantum Manipulation: Energy Blast

Mana erupted from his core once more, coiling around him like devoted children surrendering to their creator. An unknown purple energy condensed within his palm. Its scale escalated with every passing fraction of a second.

Then he fired without restraints.

It was as though a titanic cannon had been unleashed. The blast tore through space and shattered sound barriers as though they were fragile glass. It surged toward Aura Nova with world-rendering force.

Her mana boiled violently again, yet her sky-blue eyes never wavered from the incoming energy.

Omniedit: Command: Logic Hijack: Spatial Wall Frame

In the next instant, the space around her inverted like swirling shards of glass. Fragments of spatial fabric converged before her, assembling into an impregnable mirror-like barrier. The moment the final spatial fragment snapped into place, Anthony’s Energy Blast collided with it in a maddening explosion.

The surrounding space trembled violently, threatening to collapse under the pressure of the unknown force. A crack formed across the barrier, but Aura Nova immediately poured more mana into it, reinforcing its structure. Then, the energy dissipated as the attack concluded.

Without hesitation, Aura Nova flicked her wrist forward lazily. The Spatial Wall Frame surged ahead like a colossal advancing fortress. Anthony simply smirked, he punched forward casually, as though striking mere debris. With that single punch, the entire Spatial Wall Frame collapsed.

Not because it had been weak, but because every ounce of its stored force had already been expended defending against his Energy Blast. What she sent toward him was only a hollow shell of its former strength.

Anthony transitioned seamlessly into his next attack, refusing to surrender momentum.

Quantum Manipulation: Black Hole Fist

Space and mana trembled simultaneously. The space surrounding Anthony’s fist cracked open, revealing the void beyond existence. The void bled outward, coiling around his arm. An enormous, spinning vortex formed, an all-devouring gravitational singularity that swallowed air, light, and sound alike.

With a grin, Anthony leaped forward and punched. The Black Hole surged outward like a spinning celestial sphere of annihilation. Wherever it passed, existence itself was erased in totality.

Omniedit: Command: Logic Hijack: Butterfly Effect

Her mana roared forward with apocalyptic intensity and collided directly with the incoming Black Hole.

Reality warped violently, then the next moment, the Black Hole fractured into millions of small, luminous blue butterflies. They fluttered upward into the sky, harmless and almost beautiful.

Aura Nova did not pause to admire her creation, she moved instantly into her next Command.

Omniedit: Command: Overwrite Cascade: Clones

Reality glitched around her form, then from her own body, clones erupted outward by the hundreds. They surrounded Anthony completely. Each clone possessed identical presence, identical aura, identical mana signature, as though every single one were the original.

Omniedit: Command: Overwrite Cascade: Light Whip Of Suppression

All of them spoke in unison, their voices merging into a single resonant chorus. Their mana exploded simultaneously. In the next instant, radiant light whips formed within their hands. They lashed forward, wrapping around Anthony’s entire body, his eyes, head, arms, legs, waist, chest, binding every inch of him. Suppression energy surged through the whips, attempting to immobilize him entirely.

But it was futile.

Quantum Manipulation: Particle Disruption

The moment the command was uttered, every particle within the separate plane seemed to freeze, then they exploded. An overwhelming cascade of annihilation and existential erasure erupted outward. Aura Nova’s clones detonated from the inside out, unable to defend themselves. Their forms disintegrated instantly.

The suppression whips collapsed into nothingness.

As for the real Aura Nova, she was hurled backward violently by the shockwave of Particle Disruption. Her own attacks crumbled to dust, while Anthony stood untouched at the epicenter, Unaffected.

Her body twisted midair as she stabilized herself, hovering high above.

Anthony lifted his gaze toward the sky.

Their eyes met.

Battle intent surged between them once more, peaking to its highest point yet as they stared at one another across the fractured expanse of the separate plane.

The true clash had only just begun.
