The moon's surface trembled under the weight of two overwhelming powers.
Cracks spread across the gray ground like spider webs, glowing faintly with energy left behind by the previous clashes.
Dust drifted slowly through the silent void of space.
Wang stood at the center of a massive crater, breathing heavily. His body ached from Diana's relentless attacks. Every muscle screamed in protest, yet he forced himself to remain standing.
Across from him, Diana floated above the lunar surface.
Moonlight gathered around her like a living storm.
Her silver hair glowed brighter than before, and the light of the moon seemed to respond to her presence.
She looked down at Wang calmly.
"You're impressive," she said quietly.
"But you're reaching your limit."
Wang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Maybe…"
His aura flickered weakly for a moment.
Then his eyes hardened.
"But I'm not done yet."
WHOOOOOOOM!
Energy exploded outward from his body again.
The ground beneath him cracked deeper.
Diana narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Oh?"
Wang slowly raised his hand.
A strange energy began gathering around him—different from before.
It wasn't wild or explosive.
It was dense.
Compressed.
Focused.
The air around him began to distort.
"Celestial Core…"
The energy around his body condensed into a glowing sphere behind him, like a small star orbiting his back.
Diana immediately felt the change.
His power had increased.
Significantly.
"So you still have something left," she murmured.
Without another word, Wang vanished.
WHOOSH!
He appeared in front of Diana instantly.
His fist struck forward.
BOOOOOM!
The impact shook the moon.
For the first time, Diana was pushed backward several meters.
Her feet skidded across the lunar surface.
Wang followed immediately.
Punch.
Kick.
Palm strike.
Each attack carried massive gravitational force.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Diana blocked several strikes, but the pressure kept increasing.
The moon beneath them cracked further.
Entire sections of rock began floating upward due to the massive energy distortions.
But Diana's expression remained calm.
"You're stronger."
She slowly raised her hand.
"But not strong enough."
The moon suddenly began glowing brighter.
Light poured into Diana's body.
Her aura expanded dramatically.
The sky above them seemed to pulse.
"This battle… has gone on long enough."
Her voice echoed through the void.
"True Moon Form."
WHOOOOOOOOOM!
A pillar of silver light descended from the sky and engulfed her.
The entire moon began shaking violently.
Wang's eyes widened.
Diana's form began changing.
Her armor formed from pure lunar energy.
Silver wings of light appeared behind her.
Her eyes glowed like twin moons.
The pressure of her presence alone crushed the ground beneath Wang's feet.
"This power…" Wang muttered.
"…is insane."
Diana slowly descended toward the surface.
The lunar gravity itself seemed to bend around her.
"You've pushed me further than anyone else."
Her voice was calm.
"But this ends now."
She raised her hand.
A massive sphere of condensed moonlight formed above them.
It was enormous—large enough to destroy half the battlefield.
"Lunar Judgment."
The sphere fell.
Wang reacted instantly.
He gathered all of his energy into the Celestial Core behind him.
"Then I'll break it!"
He thrust his hands forward.
"Celestial Breaker!"
The star-like energy shot forward.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The two attacks collided.
The explosion was colossal.
Shockwaves ripped across the moon.
Entire mountains collapsed.
Gigantic cracks split the lunar surface.
For a moment, it looked as if the moon itself might shatter.
Wang pushed forward with everything he had.
But Diana's power kept increasing.
Her lunar energy overwhelmed his attack.
The explosion cleared.
Wang was thrown violently across the surface.
CRASH!
He smashed into a distant ridge, destroying it completely.
Dust rose slowly into space.
Wang struggled to move.
His body trembled.
His energy was nearly gone.
Diana descended slowly toward him.
Her glowing wings faded slightly as she approached.
"You fought well."
She looked down at him.
"But it ends here."
She raised her hand.
Moonlight gathered into a spear of pure energy.
Wang tried to stand.
But his legs shook.
His aura flickered weakly.
"So this is… how it ends…"
Diana prepared to strike.
The spear glowed brighter.
But suddenly—
A powerful voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Hey."
"Picking on someone already half-dead?"
Diana paused.
Wang's eyes widened.
A powerful aura appeared behind her.
WHOOSH!
A figure landed between them.
Dust scattered across the surface.
The man stood calmly with one hand in his pocket.
Dark coat.
Sharp eyes.
Confident smile.
Lance Poll.
He glanced back at Wang.
"You look terrible."
Wang laughed weakly.
"Took you long enough."
Lance cracked his neck casually.
His aura began rising slowly.
"Yeah, yeah."
He looked at Diana.
"But looks like the real fight is just starting."
Diana's glowing eyes focused on the new arrival.
The moon trembled again.
Another powerful warrior had entered the battlefield.
And the battle…
was far from over.
