A Cliché Multiverse Story

Asahi checked himself in the mirror and smiled. "Geez, you did the same hairstyle I used to have when I met you."

Aimi giggled as she slipped her arms around his neck and pressed herself on his back. "It's the hairstyle I saw on Asahi-sama back then."

"You look younger," Rika said and licked her lips. "So edible."

Shiori slapped Rika's wet back. "No horny in the bath."

Asahi chuckled and brought Ray closer. Her feathers were still drenched. "Do you want to learn telekinesis?"

He demonstrated the skill by lifting her wings with her mental strength. There were things Ray couldn't do with her wings. He wished for her to live without limitations, without feeling inferior.

Ray surrendered her wings to the invisible force, letting it toy with her wings. "Can I really?"

It was the only thing holding her back from putting on the maid outfit. Her wings held her back from finishing any maid duties. This telekinesis skill would help a lot in her battles; it had no real drawbacks.

"Master, do you have time to teach me?"

"I can always take out a few hours for you. Don't worry about that."

He was going to teach Ryuu, Riveria, and Ais. How could he not give a few hours to his lover?

"Then, please teach me."

"Let's start now."

He lifted Ray and walked out of the bath. Inside his room, he dried her wings before he taught her how to hone her mental strength. Telekinesis required utmost focus. Rika, one of the best snipers in the previous world, had extreme focus and patience.

Ray concentrated on the tiny piece of paper held with both her wings. Her deep frown made him smile. He spent some time teaching her while cuddling with her. Her warm wings reminded him of Gabriel and Sandalphon.

'Let's settle Ddraig first, then I can spend time with Sandalphon, Gabriel. Then Astraea and Alise.'

He gave a goodbye hug to Ray and headed to the room with Astral Pod. He entered the pod and activated it with his telekinesis.

"You're back," Ddraig said as she emerged from the pool of lava. "Quicker than the last time." f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

She was feeling bored in his absence even though she was used to laying around in her lair for years.

Asahi grinned and pointed at her face. "I'm not here to talk. I'm here to beat you up."

Ddraig stared at him, blinking her emerald eyes in surprise at his fighting spirit. "Where did you get that confidence from?"

"From my mom."

"…"

"Let's fight!"

Ddraig spread her wings. "Come at me."

Asahi stopped himself from pointing out the obvious double meaning in her declaration and activated his new ability. His skin turned slowly, his senses becoming sharper.

Ddraig's reptilian eyes shrunk to dots. His aura burgeoned, surpassing her own, and still increasing. She felt like she was facing the Infinity of the Ouroboros Dragon instead of a human.

"What magic is that?"

There was a spell to increase strength to the level of Heavenly Dragons? If there was a spell like that, humans would be at the top of the supernatural world, not the bottom. To think he barely reacted to her attacks in their first battle and fought to a draw in their second.

'I'll lose.'

Ddraig's mouth split open, revealing her glistening fangs. Even her eternal rival never came close to defeating her, even though he wanted her to become his wife. That old bastard was a good motivation for her to grow stronger.

"It's my final form," Asahi said, a massive grin on his face. "Scared yet?"

Ddraig snorted, puffing flames through her nostrils. "We shall see who is scared of who."

Asahi ascended until he was on the same height as Ddraig's head and thrust his hand. He snapped his fingers. A massive windscreen conjured behind him, from which numerous showed their tips. The entire sky was engulfed in a swarm of lances.

"Though I hate that guy, this technique is indeed flashy." f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Ddraig wrapped herself in her aura. "Show me your best technique, Asahi."

"As you wish."

The lances burst forth and rained down on Ddraig's aura-covered body. The spiralling lances of dense wind elemental energy drilled through her aura. Ddraig, though surprised, boosted her aura and covered herself in a thicker layer of her aura. Even her new shield was broken, and lances punctured through her dragon scales.

Putting an end to her defensive stance, she reached out for him with her claws. Surprisingly, her claw passed through him as if he wasn't there. Even her aura couldn't affect him.

"Physical attacks won't hit me in this form."

Ddraig tried again, only to meet the same result.

"Physical attacks won't work. Then, I'll show you the pride of a dragon."

She raised her forelegs and sucked in a deep breath. An intense heat radiated from her, melting the lances stuck in her body. She slammed down her claws on the stone platform and stretched her neck in Asahi's direction. The flames of destruction burst from her throat.

Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames. It was her strongest attack that couldn't work on Dragons like Albion and Ophis since they were immune to the fire of this scale, but Asahi wasn't.

Asahi watched the flames approach in slow motion.

'What should I use?'

He could render flames useless with his fire elemental form, but a victory like that won't please him.

'Might as well test the limits of this form.'

He raised his hand like a certain shounen hero and called all the wind elemental energy to his hand. His goal was simple. Gathering as much elemental energy as he possibly could and compressing it in a giant lance. A glowing aquamarine lance that dwarfed Ddraig with its sheer size appeared above him.

'Not enough.'

It still wasn't strong enough, so he gave it a taste of the life element. If that wasn't enough, he flooded the lance with his mana until it could blind the world with its radiance.

Despite the temperature in the area, Ddraig felt a chill wrapping her soul. The radiant lance was dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Asahi brought down his hand. The spear launched itself into Ddraig's ultimate flames. The scarlet wave of flames wrapped around the radiant spear and tried to melt it.

"Not happening," Asahi chuckled.

The spear seemed to have a mind of its own now as it blasted the flames away with its wind. The flames flickered before they were snuffed out. Ddraig's flames raged until souls burned away. Yet, they were like a candle in the wind when faced with his spear.

"Fascinating…" Ddraig muttered as the spear reached her face and exploded in her face.

Asahi's eyes widened. "Stop!"
