Chapter 195: Titans

The mark glowed and disappeared from the monarch, eliciting a euphoric cheer from Dora.

"Good answer! Fitting a real human, well done! You’re a winner!"

He laughed lightly, a disturbing scene because among all the people present, only he was still marked. Gloria, perhaps angered by her own response, trembled, about to unleash her anger on the boy.

But then a sinister change occurred; around them, a green aura spread from above and surrounded Dora. She turned her back on him and noticed Beta on the platform, shining like a sacred relic, an emotionless gaze on him.

On the ground, Dora stopped smiling, his eyes also glowed yellow.

"Now, let’s move on to the last question. If I don’t answer honestly, I will die, do you understand, fossil?"

"... What kind of game is this? What is your goal?!"

"It’s simple: a win... in the future."

Beta’s eyes shone brightly, and a superior voice came from his mouth.

"Sin Avatar of Greed, the spell I use on you forbids you from lying by forcing your soul to seek the truth. Answer this question with the pure truth and nothing else: have you ever harmed the offspring of Gluttony?"

The Queen’s face contorted into a frown as she shifted her gaze towards Beta, standing on the platform. The maids, just as bewildered as she was, exchanged uncertain glances. Amidst the confusion, Candace remained motionless, kneeling inside the protective bubble, displaying a distinct reaction from the rest.

Dora looked up at Beta.

"No, I never attacked Solaria and Moonra." As he said, the mark on him glowed and disappeared.

Beta stopped glowing and closed his eyes, as if he was off. The Queen looked at them both with great confusion.

"... I have no idea what kind of game you’re playing, but I’m tired of trying."

Her aura exploded, releasing large waves of wind in all directions. Dora pointed his hand above her and snapped his finger.

On the platform, the maids were about to jump on Gamma, when a shadow crossed the sky, leaving them in a state of shock. In her bubble, Candace was hitting the wall, screaming desperately.

Gamma and Beta stood side by side, the latter glowing and the former covered in purple smoke.

The Queen pointed two fingers at Dora, and at that very moment, the shadow reached her.

"The point of this little game is... I never hurt your children, so how do you explain this?"

Gloria’s hand instantly rose into the air and received the object. Her attention was on Dora, but the moment she touched the object, her heart disappeared.

Slowly, she lowered her hand and looked into the eyes of Moonra’s decapitated head.

"Nucleus..." Dora’s aura exploded as Gamma joined the fusion.

A single moment as short as the blink of an eye, a moment separating the arrival of Dora’s shockwave towards the Queen, and yet in that single moment, time froze around the Queen.

The head of her boy, the head she was looking for. The head she was happy to see smiling and panicking as he tried to help her feed Solaria, that head was now under her hands, lighter than usual, too light to be normal and the grimace on his face showed that his last moment was a nightmare.

Her mouth opened and as the furious wind engulfed her, her scream pierced the sky. A giant shockwave spread across the region, sweeping away everything in its path. The maids, the platform, everything flew away, Candace in her bubble, saw the world spinning.

At the epicenter, Dora was on top of the Queen, his fist trying to reach her, but her unearthly scream formed a barrier between them.

His eyes glowed brighter and his mouth glowed red.

"VORACITY"

A red beam created a window of a few hundredths of a second, short enough to allow Dora to fire a black beam at Gloria’s head. The scream stopped immediately, and the Queen leaned back and slowly fell.

Dora raised his hand, his fist glowing red, and then he gave her a powerful punch, however, the impact of the punch reverberated with the grace of a purple spider’s leg.

The collision unleashed a horrifying blast, revealing the two enemies under the harsh glare of the sun. The Queen transformed into a nightmarish creature, no longer resembling a mere spider, but now sporting a spider’s abdomen in place of her legs. Her hair stretched out, concealing her grotesque face, where a single, glowing orange eye gleamed in the socket of her left eye. Her mouth began at her nose and extended all the way down to her stomach, as her monstrous form expanded to over 20 meters in size.

It was beyond any kind of monster possible, and this thing burned with the sole desire to reduce the boy to minced meat.

A burst of red energy came out of her mouth, narrowly dodged by Dora. He rose into the air, and in the distance, the red energy left a trail on the ground that grew larger as it spread and exploded in a gigantic flash.

He struck his sword finger pose, the air turning yellow and red, then, the monstrous jaw reached him.

"Good, that’s a great reaction!" He unleashed a storm of weapons slicing and tearing at the monster, growing bigger and bigger, but the monster continued to regenerate inside.

"Aurum Serra"

The air cracked and three soul stones flew out in the chaos, at the same time, the thing unleashed another burst of energy.

The bomb tore through the horizon, obliterating everything in its path.

Previously, just using voracity was enough to vaporize him, but that was just a matter of concept. The true mystery was linked to the concept of Greed’s greatest blessing: Asylum, a technique dividing him into several bodies.

Before, Greed used 4 out of 6 bodies, and after adding Gamma and something from Beta, he managed to increase his power to the point of taking on the strongest form of voracity head-on... but still...

"GHh!!!..."

The power of the Silver Throne was not insignificant. A powerful explosion turned the horizon red, from the sky, Dora was falling at high speed towards another city.

Noticing the red spots on his hands, he smiled.

"... She... Did she just..."

The Queen fell from higher, her mouth generating a beam of light.

"LIBRAAAA"

A gigantic beam fell on Dora, razing part of the city. Residents were rushing around, screaming in terror as the giant spider landed on top of a building, letting out an otherworldly scream, but then the cloudy sky opened. Dora emerged, holding an axe gathering all the thunder in the sky.

"You stole my power?! Amazing!!!"

The Queen turned towards him, charging another beam of voracity, but then space froze momentarily, the color reversing.

The beam disappeared and a drill pierced her abdomen, another Dora forming in the shadows and covering her.

The thunder axe landed on the head, causing a lightning shockwave to spread, destroying the city.

"SSSSTAAAAARVAAAA..."

The blue and green waves faded into a phenomenal orange color, and then the space cracked again, all the waves disappearing into millions of glowing particles and falling on a city in destruction, the poor citizens running, crying, dying without end.

Falling, looking up at the sky and bathing in this rain, Dora spread his arms. His smile widened, his heart beating wildly. At that moment, he felt a whole new emotion.

The monster landed further away, her size now reaching over 70 meters,uttering a scream of rage, blurring the horizon, yet, without looking at her, the boy felt safe, because he knew.

A red ray engulfed him and wiped out another part of the city, but again the city shrank around the monster, shrinking again and again, until converging in the hand of a third Dora who clenched his fist, cracking the reality.

Half the city was a wasteland, four Doras, one floating with elemental energy around him, one standing on a sword, several weapons forming around him, one in black, in the middle of a cyclone of shadows, and the last, a colossal figure, descended from the sky in the middle, facing the monster that rose from the ground and uttered a haunting scream resonating across the horizon and beyond.

In this hell, a light formed in the sky, taking the form of a flower that bloomed and released the fusion Dora, still falling in the same position, he turned his body, head towards the earth.

"That’s it... That’s really it..."

On every corner, in every space, a soul stone floated, rising into the sky by the thousands.

"I’m sure now... I... can... WIN!"

He opened his arms, embracing the symphony of souls.

"AURUM SERRA"

This moment will be remembered as a turning point in humanity. A thousand years ago, a being appeared among the living. A power that defied reality, a longevity spanning generations. She was considered a God and could control reality as she pleased.

Later, six more appeared, wandering like scarecrows to remind everyone that there was an unreachable roof, but what made that roof so fascinating was that as true Gods, they were untouchable and the world created a universal law to prevent them from breaking the balance born from their existence.

However, that day, for the first time, the law was broken. Two Sin Avatars were pouring their guts out, tearing the sky apart for the sole purpose of erasing their adversary from existence.

The battle between Green and Gluttony pitted two similar abilities against each other: Avarice, allowing Dora to gradually steal Gloria’s power and use it at a higher level, and Voracity, allowing the Queen to devour Dora’s skills.

The longer the battle lasted, the stronger Dora became, but the more skills he lost, conversely, the longer the battle lasted, the weaker Gloria became and the more skilled she became.

And if they reached a critical point, they would reverse their strategy and target one skill, for Dora, and one physical status for Gloria, thus perpetuating this cycle.

On earth and in the sky, from south to northwest, from reality to imaginary spaces, the battle between Gloria and Dora lasted 4 days, without crowning a winner.

4 days, during which somewhere in the East, a boat was able to see the coasts of the new continent.
