?"Ha, to think you came here with the assumption that you, a lowly lesser lifeform, could possibly deal with one like myself," Lara laughed with endless glee and joy at the feeling of watching Dante struggle to defend against her attacks.

Her expression was twisted and full of malice, her eyes shining with bloodlust and hatred as she seemed to see the figure of Dante overlap with that of Luka, the one she hated most in this world.

"How dare you! How dare you suppress me! How dare you be stronger than me!" She roared crazily, increasing the amount of power in her attacks, wanting not only to inflict critical injuries upon Dante but to capture him so that she could spend every day torturing him.

Dante kept blocking as best as he could, but his origin law halberd shattered, forcing him to use quantum entanglement to teleport to a quantum marker he placed slightly behind. He panted and burned more energy to connect his origin bridge within his soul to the gateway, allowing more of the multicolored power in.

Even as he casually and skillfully grasped the colors, some of them slipped from his grasp and stained the background of his soul space, leaving a bit of their influence on him. This was not a bad thing but rather the opposite, the exact point and goal of the Dao Integration Realm.

By staining your soul space, you made it easier and easier to not only sense the laws of heaven and earth but to control them and even comprehend one of them to be your main law when you became an Immortal King.

Dante was significantly far ahead compared to the typical cultivator though; he had near-perfect control of Origin laws and could even pick and choose which of them he liked. He only let the origin laws he was considering on making his main origin power in the future stain him, something which a normal cultivator at this stage couldn't hope to achieve.

Dante carefully reformed the origin law halberd, but one could notice that there were fewer laws within, making it more solid and controlled. Lara was too deep into her madness-influenced rage to notice, though, and attacked Dante immediately after rushing into melee range.

Again, a similar suppression began, but Dante was noticeably doing better than before due to his weapon being more refined and his mind adapting to Lara's attack patterns. Still, it was only a matter of time before his new weapon shattered once more, leaving him defenseless for a brief moment in which Lara hastily capitalized.

"You're not getting away this time!" She bellowed as she unleashed her authority over the space element to bind the entire area, making it impossible to even move an inch, much less teleport.

Filled with excitement once again, she struck down on Dante with her full power in what she expected to be the final blow but was left stunned to see Dante easily teleport out of range once again as he rested a little.

"…how?" Lara seemed to wake up from her madness a little as she said speechlessly.

"You're just a clone; you couldn't possibly comprehend what's happening here," Dante replied in a mocking tone that set off the already agitated Lara.

She began to see red and quickly forget about the strangeness of Dante's abilities as well as the obvious signs that anyone else would have noticed by now. Instead, she turned her whip into a giant avatar that was formed around her body.

It formed a sort of astral form that had her silhouette and her rough features but was made up of the white-colored Heavenly Annihilation Flame. Its size was huge, covering almost the entirety of what used to be the administration building space and enabling those on the school to see it from afar.

But at this point in the battle, many eyes had naturally converged on the fight through various technological means, and many networks were broadcasting the battle live.

Currently, the largest broadcast network in the Eternal Universe, the Etranet News Network, had its Virtual Reality Live Broadcast room filled to the brim. Hundreds of trillions of consciousnesses were placed in the area of the battlefield of Dante and Lara, spectating the fight with different expressions and thoughts. 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

[Maximum_Todd: "What exactly is going on here? I've been watching for like 3 minutes, but I can't understand what they're saying or why they're saying it."]

[DoneCanIdaho: "It's not about what they're saying, but what they're doing. These two are fighting again, but why? Is it politically motivated or are they finally settling the score as to who is the strongest?"]

[GeeKandi: "That isn't even the issue in my opinion. If they are really settling the score, Dante is very disappointing right now. Last time he absolutely dominated her but it seems like he's struggling now. Did he become weaker or what?"]

[Kalijinn: "I noticed that too. I once jokingly told my friend that these upper echelons are all playing a big game of chess and are actually in cahoots. Who knows, it was Dante's turn to dominate according to the decision of those shadow rulers and now they want Lara back in charge."]

[TroisAcornes: "What is that theory, dude? Are you literally one of those crazy guys who think everything is a shadow out to get you? Ha, if that was the case, then my theory is that Lara is planning to destroy the entire universe and Dante is the heavenly hero chosen to save it."]

[Potential_Error: "@TroisAcornes LMAAOOO. Fuck that guy up, I fucking hate retards like him."]

[Krasnyred5: "Kek, they say that reality is sometimes more bizarre than fiction. Who knows, that theory might just be true."]

[Dragon_Reborn: "Theories don't matter. What matters is who is gonna win this and how it will affect the rest of us. Lara seemed not bad to me previously but in the three years that Dante had been the dominant force, things have gotten so much better. I don't want that to change!"]

[MuyGigante: "Like, I have been listening to you guys argue about all sorts of stuff while lamenting that you're on the wrong track. We literally have to root for Dante because whatever else he is, he is the best thing to happen to us right now."] f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

[Woke_Alien: "Hey guys, just joined the stream. What's happening?"]

"Die!" Lara screeched as she made a move to smash down with a fist, causing her giant avatar to do the same towards Dante.

Immediately the viewers on the live stream looked up with faces of shock, fear, and endless regret as if they were the ones about to be destroyed. Somehow, they could tell that even if they were here in digital form, if that white fire touched them, they would truly be destroyed.

Dante was calm, though, as he glanced back at the spectators who were invisible to the naked eye and every form of traditional perception but could not hide from the law of the universe.

"I was actually waiting to narrow down my range of laws and increase my control a bit, but now is fine too," he muttered to himself.

Dante reached his hand out to them, and a greyish-blue energy seeped over from them that coalesced slowly around Dante's body, forming a similar avatar to the one Lara had but much smaller.

Lara practically almost fellover with mocking laughter. "After all of this, that is the best you can do? Even when copying my techniques, you cannot exert even 10% of my strength!"

However, her laughter was forcibly choked in her throat when she saw the avatar that formed around Dante shift its form. It went from something mimicking her ability to a condensed suit that shrunk to fit Dante's body, covering him from head to toe.

However, that alone was not enough to cause Lara shock. It was also the fact that Dante, in this different form, suddenly raised his hand which shifted into a giant cannon, firing a large grayish-blue laser beam that pierced through her oncoming attack and dispersing a large part of her avatar.

Lara recoiled from the attack and tried to reform the part of her avatar that was destroyed but found that there was a lingering energy of the same color as the beam that was preventing this. Immediately, she understood what had just happened was the worst-case scenario.

"You!! You've somehow mastered the ability to use only one Origin Law in your attacks at 100% capacity! But how? How could you do it so quickly?!" Lara's pupils constricted rapidly.

Dante flexed his body and condensed his armor further, giving it some mechanical outlines but it was still mostly ethereal and intangible.

"Like I said, a mere clone like you has no clue of what's going on. I could have defeated you in one hit from the moment I arrived, but I decided to use you as a grindstone to help me hone my control over Origin Laws."

Dante then pointed his arm cannon at Lara coldly. "But now your utility has expired, so let's wrap this up."
