The sky itself cracked.
The Celestbone Humerus- a glorious bone forged from the very marrow of stars, descended with such density that it distorted the air, the clouds, and even the fabric of gravitational pull around this area.
It wasn't merely a weapon.
It was a celestial artifact of condensed dominion and power of an Astral Core Ascension entity.
As it hurtled toward Achilles, the space beneath it screamed. Light bent around its golden core, sucked into an orbit of doom!
Shockwaves of compressed solar mass and time-warped kinetic force spiraled outward.
Achilles' pupils narrowed at the power and intensity of this battle.
Atmospheric Adaptation V engaged instantly- his body shifting into a mode better suited to surviving at the edge of this terrifying pressure.
Golden dragon-scale plated arms shimmered with Impenetrable Scales V, Planetary Forcefield IV, and Primordial Core V, layering defenses of multiple qualities with Primordial Energy in synchronized harmony.
When the Celestbone Humerus hit…
The explosion flattened a twenty-mile stretch of sky and dispersed all clouds.
The Draconic Hybrids nearby scattered like shattered meteors, some erased entirely by the gravitational rupture and blast that exploded out!
Achilles was hurled downward, body rippling with kinetic force as he smashed into the barrier near the corrupted capital!
Nirvanic Rebirth III lit within his core, restoring shattered internal systems mid-impact.
Vines from Forest Generation V curled around his joints, holding them together as Regeneration V and Photosynthetic Healing fused sinew and muscle- as if he was not even made of a human body!
He breathed out. He composed himself. The enemy this time was powerful.
But…he was Achilles Adrastia Maxwell!
And he was no longer crippled as with the Adrastia Imperium Vitae Ascension Codex, he gained his wings!
If he had not refined his Bloodline, he was certain that the terrible power High Zenithar Malgorith displayed would have crushed his Primordial Avatar.
"Hoo…!" He breathed again.
Ascendant Solar and Lunar Generation III activated as golden and silver flames surged across his arms.
He looked unfathomably glorious as the battle did not even feel like one of a titan and human.
It felt like two ancient creatures decimating each other while displaying utterly horrific prowess.
And as golden and silver flames surged over his body alongside erupting white flames…
He burst back into the sky.
But Malgorith was already summoning another wonder and horror.
"Haaah…" the Titan whispered, the blood crown above his head spinning faster.
"Let's see you block another."
Stellar gold brilliance surged in the skies.
Another bone bloomed, glorious and unbreakable.
The Celestbone Femur manifested above him- eighty meters long, wrapped in orbiting stellar rings and radiating an aura that compressed mass across the skies. Its impact radius alone would be enough to collapse a mountain range.
Achilles surged towards it and High Zenithar Malgorith.
He roared, voice echoing with Dragon King's Haki V and Parallel Thought Process V, layering strategy upon instinct.
He blurred forward with Ascendant Nirvanic Teleportation III, then flared his body outward with Ascendant Size Alteration III, forming a titan of 100 meter magnitude in less than a breath!
Massive, glorious, heavy!
Then, Planetary Chains IV erupted from his shoulders and wrists, winding towards and around the Femur as it descended.
But the Celestbone strained against the chains with unspeakable force.
It pulsed with an unbreakable allure!
Achilles felt his blood burn bright as the rivers of stars within him surged.
Dragon King's Breath V surged again- but not a beam this time.
He inhaled deep and devoured the surrounding starlight, converting it through Energy Conversion V and funneling it through his Primordial Core V.
Golden starfire roared from his fists.
Crystal Manipulation V formed a set of arm-length gauntlets made of high-density Evolutius Crystalized Energy, laced with Mineral Manipulation IV and shaped into Celestial Shock Gauntlets reinforced with Evolutius and Primordial Energy!
And with those fists…
He punched the Femur.
It cracked the sky but not the bone.
No, the Celestbone held. But the momentum was stopped. Barely.
The means of Celestbone Stage Astral Core Ascension entities were unfathomably heavy, especially for a being !
Malgorith's eyes lit with interest.
He raised both hands now.
Star light surged around him heavily.
More and more golden bones began to bloom all around him- massive in size and stature!
Radius. Ulna. Clavicle. Spine!
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM!
One by one, Celestbones appeared above him, hovering in glorious alignment like weapons of a wrathful titanic king.
Each bone was a distillation of his power, pulled from his body's celestial bones that were filled with star light. Not metaphorical bones, but empowered cores of his being converted into material anchors of dominion.
Achilles' wings pulsed.
He wanted to see the extent of his power.
The extent of what his Lineage refinement had given him as for this battle, he would gauge, analyze and understand.
"Rose…" he whispered under his breath, as if speaking to the one he loved from across the vast skies and lands.
"Let me burn…bright."
Descent of the Nirvanic Sun Moon Phoenix III erupted again- but now, the Phoenix didn't form just as a projection.
It descended into him.
Feathers bloomed with shocking glory.
His body surged in response- limbs flowing with solar and lunar fire, every movement dragging arcs of golden light and midnight frost.
He reached out with Territorial Domain IV, syncing with the very fabric of corrupted Thornveil skies and land, seizing control of gravity threads and atmospheric densities as the colors purple and gold came to bathe everything!
With his sheer planetary form and Crystal Vault V, he raised his eyes and erected a massive sphere- a construct made from crystalized Evolutius Energy, Primordial Energy, and the embedded essence of dozens of Assimilated Lifeforms.
The next bone struck it as he also unleashed a breath of white Flames!
The Celestbone Radius.
The construct held, for two seconds, before splintering into billions of purple and gold lightshards. But it gave him enough time.
Achilles blinked forward, appearing right in front of Malgorith with a body surging in radiant flame.
And then, his claws descended.
Phoenix claws layered with Draconian Pathogenicity V, Supernatural Lifeforce IV, and Ancient Empowerment V.
The blow struck Malgorith's chest.
It didn't break the titan.
"Haha, you will regret many things you are doing today, Little Human King! Come! COME!"
