Chapter 159: Defeat

Facing the massive spear, Apollo knew he might lose, but that didn’t matter. He summoned all his strength, refusing to hold anything back. With a determined roar, he unleashed all four of his domains: Ice, Death, Five Elements, and the Eternal Sword Domain.

His aura surged, climbing rapidly to a level that rivalled the saints. The very space around him trembled under the overwhelming pressure as his four domains, guided by the Eternal Sword Domain, began to converge into a singular, powerful force.

Apollo’s Sword Domain already held traces of the other three laws, but he had never been able to merge them effectively—until now. Under the immense pressure from the loli’s devastating attack, something began to change. The tremendous force bearing down on him seemed to catalyze the fusion process. Slowly but steadily, his Ice, Death, and Five Elements domains began to converge with his Sword Domain.

With each passing moment, the connection between the domains grew stronger, and his Sword Domain became increasingly stronger. It was as if the overwhelming threat had unlocked a new level of synergy between the laws, pushing his power to unprecedented heights.

They made his Sword Domain more powerful and complete than ever before, ready to face the impending destruction with newfound strength.

"Hmm."

"Four domains..."

Watching this, she couldn’t help but be truly shocked for the first time and couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Even for her, it was a shocking sight. The domains Apollo wielded weren’t ordinary—both the Death and Five Elements domains were high-level and challenging to master. But what truly caught her off guard was his unique Sword Domain. It was unlike anything she had encountered before, exuding an aura that made her feel a rare sense of terror.

She had never seen such a powerful Sword Domain, especially one that had just been formed, exhibiting such strength and mysterious depth. It was astonishing that a newly formed domain could hold such immense power and profound mysteries.

The sword domain was truly unique; she could not imagine how strong it would be after it reached her level. Will she be able to take it then? She didn’t know.

Now, with the Sword Domain combined with the other three domains, it seemed to reach unimaginable power. The auras from both their attacks began to collide, creating a chaotic force that started shredding the space around them.

The immense pressure from their combined powers made the atmosphere feel as if it could collapse at any moment, leaving the battlefield trembling under their overwhelming might.

"Go!" Apollo roared as a massive, multicoloured sword materialized, twisting the very space around it. This powerful weapon, formed from the combined might of his four domains, surged forward with unstoppable force.

The mysterious and mighty sword clashed with the immense spear in the sky, the impact creating a cataclysmic explosion that shattered the surroundings. The sheer destructive force annihilated everything in its path, tearing apart landmasses and obliterating anything that dared to exist within the vicinity.

"Good good..."

She felt their attacks seemed to be equal, and an excited smile and aura around continued to rise.

Bang bang bang...

With every breath she took, her aura rose, surpassing the Sage ranks and shattering the land and space around her with sheer pressure. The colossal spear, which had been fiercely clashing with Apollo’s attack, began to grow even more powerful, steadily overwhelming and overpowering his combined domains.

"Fuck, why are you getting fired up?" Apollo cursed, feeling he was about to be crushed.

But Apollo wasn’t one to go down without a fight.

Boom!

The Spear of Life finally overpowered his mysterious sword, its power surpassing even the mightiest of sages. Just as the spear locked onto him, ready to annihilate him, Apollo summoned every ounce of his strength for a final counterattack.

In that critical moment, as the spear closed in on him, he unleashed a powerful sword energy infused with the combined might of his four law domains.

Apollo was ultimately defeated, his body vanishing as the Spear of Life destroyed him. However, his final sword energy, infused with the combined might of his four law domains, shot toward her at incredible speed. She was caught off guard by the sheer force of his last strike, not expecting such a strong attack even as he faced certain defeat.

She quickly summoned her energy, and large trees sprang from the ground, forming a protective forest around her. However, her hastily constructed defence was no match for the sword’s energy, which contained mysteries beyond ordinary comprehension, annihilating everything in its path.

Her expression changed as the attack closed in, moments away from striking her. In an instant, her eyes grew cold and ruthless, and her aura shifted dramatically. Her body transformed from that of a small girl to a fully grown, mature woman in an instant. She punched the sword energy, which met an indestructible force.

Boom!

Bang!...

An apocalyptic explosion erupted, destroying miles of the surrounding area before slowly calming down. As the dust settled, the figure of a mature, stunning woman emerged, slight blood dripping from her fist.

She looked at her hand, noticing the blood dripping from her fist, before hearing the mechanical announcement that signalled her departure from the Dimension Battle World.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a starry sky filled with countless planets and stars.

"Welcome back, Miss. How was the battle?" A beautiful maid approached her and bowed.

"I met someone... unexpected," she murmured in her cute voice, recalling the final attack. The memory of it lingered, surprising her more than ever she anticipated.

"What!" The maid was shocked, her playful inquiry turning serious as she registered her mistress’s words. She had only asked out of habit, knowing her mistress’s strength. It was hard to imagine anyone impressing her.

After all, her mistress was Amara, known throughout the universe as the Life Princess. She was extremely famous and ranked fourth among the strongest beings on ’Earth Rankings’. The idea that someone could leave an impression on her was almost unthinkable.

Apollo, on the other hand, didn’t know anything and also awoke from his devastating loss and couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

The battle had been intense, pushing him to the very limits of his strength and beyond. Yet, despite his best efforts, he still was defeated. He truthfully didn’t expect he would lose his first battle.

A sigh escaped his lips as he slowly sat up, his mind replaying the final moments of the battle. The life domain and the colossal spear that had overpowered his domains—these images were etched into his memory.

He calmed down, accepting his loss without letting it break his spirit. His opponent was older, at least mentally, and from outside Rion—likely from a powerful force beyond his current understanding. Though he didn’t know her name, he resolved that if they met again, he would defeat her.

Despite his defeat, he had learned valuable lessons, especially how he had temporarily combined his four domains under immense pressure, unleashing strength beyond his current level. This experience fueled his determination to grow stronger.

He also felt some improvement in his understanding of his Sword Domain, which he confirmed by looking at his profile.

Despite the sadness, Apollo’s resolve only grew stronger. He couldn’t afford to wallow in despair; he had to keep pushing forward. This defeat was just another stepping stone on his path to greater heights.

"I’ll get stronger," Apollo vowed, clenching his fists. "Stronger than ever before. Strong enough to defeat even gods."

He lost, but he didn’t feel much after dying in the Dimension Battle World, except for a mild headache. Now that his free pass was used up, he knew he couldn’t enter again and could only leave.

He was immediately transported out of the safe room and appeared near the battle arena, which reminded him of Sol. Deciding to check on him, he set out to find Sol and see how he was doing.

Apollo calmly accepted everything and slowly walked towards the Battle Arena, one of the few places always bustling with trialists. It was the most exciting spot, where they didn’t need to spend much and could even earn a lot by betting on each other.

And every world is full of gamblers, with the Eastern continent being no exception.

The battle arena was truly spectacular, with enormous stands capable of accommodating millions of spectators. In comparison, the arena in Frostheld City seemed like a child’s plaything.

He calmly walked around, observing the various arenas where multiple battles were already underway. Thousands of trialists cheered and placed their bets, their excitement filling the air with a palpable buzz.

It was like another world. As Apollo scanned the dozens of small arenas, he finally spotted Sol, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle. His opponent wasn’t human but a half-human beast with tiger-like features—sharp claws and a strong, sturdy body—that made the fight challenging for Sol.
