BOOM!
The moment the two Sacred Gear users collided, everything around them was instantly destroyed.
Their overflowing magical power felt as if it could ignite the air itself.
"Divide!"
The voice of Albion echoed.
Qin Xiao immediately felt his strength rapidly draining.
But in the next moment—
"Boost!"
The voice of Ddraig followed.
The power that had been reduced quickly surged back again.
The Two Heavenly Dragons.
The Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor.
Two completely opposite dragon beings.
One represented increase.
The other represented division.
They stood at the very top of dragonkind in this world.
Even the Five Great Dragon Kings were beneath them.
Only two beings surpassed them:
Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God
Great Red, the True Red Dragon God
Vali looked at Qin Xiao calmly.
"You have another Sacred Gear."
"Aren't you going to use it?"
Having two Sacred Gears was practically cheating.
But Vali didn't care.
His goal was to become the strongest.
No matter what opponent stood before him.
"As you wish."
Clang!
With Qin Xiao's words—
Chains suddenly burst from all directions.
The Chains of Heaven shot through the air.
"Good!"
Even while flying, Vali Lucifer moved with incredible agility.
He dodged every chain attack.
Then suddenly—
A massive dragon of blue lightning roared across the sky.
It rushed toward Vali like a living thunderstorm.
With Qin Xiao's current magical power, shaping lightning into a dragon was effortless.
BOOM!
"Divide!"
"Divide!"
"Divide!"
The moment the lightning dragon struck Vali—
Albion's ability activated repeatedly.
The enormous thunder dragon rapidly weakened.
Within seconds it shrank into a small lightning snake.
Vali crushed it easily.
"That kind of attack can't defeat me."
Vali said calmly.
Qin Xiao smiled.
"I never thought it could."
Meanwhile—
"Boost!"
Qin Xiao's power had already increased several times during that short exchange.
Compared to when he fought Azazel, his current strength was far greater.
Now his magical power felt terrifyingly massive.
In some ways, Boosted Gear was even stronger than the Divine Dividing.
Divine Dividing required contact with an opponent to steal power.
But Boosted Gear simply kept multiplying power continuously.
Qin Xiao raised his hand.
"Now then."
"Witness a power capable of rivaling the golden king's treasury."
"Wisdom of the People!"
Hummm.
The earth beneath Qin Xiao awakened.
From the ground around him—
Countless weapons emerged.
Swords.
Spears.
Halberds.
Blades.
Hundreds of weapons formed from the power of the earth.
Vali's eyes widened.
Weapon creation?
That wasn't the Red Dragon Emperor's ability.
Did Qin Xiao possess a third Sacred Gear?
Azazel hadn't mentioned this in the information he received.
WHOOSH—WHOOSH—WHOOSH
The weapons shot forward like a storm.
Each one possessed the sharpness of a Noble Phantasm-level weapon.
Seeing their terrifying power, Vali dropped his arrogance.
He began rapidly dodging and counterattacking.
Meanwhile—
Qin Xiao stood calmly on the ground.
Even with the red armor of Boosted Gear Balance Breaker, the faint green aura of his Enkidu power could still be felt.
"Boost."
"Boost."
"Boost."
The multiplication never stopped.
Because Qin Xiao stood on the earth—
His magical energy continuously replenished itself.
Instead of weakening, his aura became even more overwhelming.
Vali quickly realized the problem.
"This can't continue."
"I need to destroy those weapons."
If Qin Xiao kept boosting endlessly, the battle would become dangerous.
Vali suddenly stopped in midair.
His crystal-blue wings shone brightly.
BOOOOM!
A massive explosion of magical power erupted.
The shockwave blasted away all surrounding weapons.
Then—
Vali turned into a white streak and rushed toward Qin Xiao.
His goal was clear.
Close combat.
Azazel had told him something important.
Qin Xiao could absorb power from the earth.
As long as his feet touched the ground—
He was basically a perpetual engine.
If the battle dragged on, Vali would eventually lose the advantage.
"Qin Xiao!"
Vali charged forward.
Qin Xiao laughed.
"A wise decision."
He released control over the earth weapons.
CLANG!
Chains shot from behind Qin Xiao.
The Chains of Heaven tried to intercept Vali.
But Vali raised one hand.
A dark-blue magic circle appeared.
Magical blasts shot out—
Destroying the incoming chains one by one.
In the next moment—
The two finally collided again.
BOOM!
The crimson gauntlet and the silver gauntlet smashed into each other.
The ground beneath Qin Xiao cracked instantly.
Spiderweb-like fractures spread across the earth.
"Divide!"
Vali smiled beneath his helmet.
Because the moment he touched Qin Xiao—
Albion's ability activated.
Half of Qin Xiao's massive magical power was instantly cut away.
But Qin Xiao smiled as well.
Because unlike most people—
He already knew how Divine Dividing worked.
Suddenly—
Vali's wings changed color.
The crystal-blue light turned faint red.
Red particles began scattering into the air.
It was the safety mechanism of Divine Dividing.
The magical power Vali absorbed had exceeded the limit his body could handle.
So the wings automatically released the excess energy.
Otherwise—
His body would suffer overload.
