Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

What annoyed Dhruv the most about this situation was the fact that he was sure all the peculiarities were due to the single man reinforcement. A.k.a the smiling young man with large Devil wings in front of him.

In anger, he charged a Cosmic saint attack at Hal but a vibration of Reality later and Hal's position shifted which caused the attack to miss.

However, this did not bother Dhruv who smirked and was already attacking the spot he had predicted Hal would appear.

The attack would have successfully hit had it not been for Makena's speedy interference.

All through this, Hal never stopped smiling.

And how could he?

He was completely confident in his woman and knew she was more than capable of protecting him.

Now, Makena was once again by Hal's side, and together, they watched Dhruv. Hal with a jovial smile and Makena with a glare.

Hal then wound an arm around Makena's waist and pulled her closer to himself in the air, 

"You fight is not with me. Honestly, even though I quite dislike you for whatever reason such as threatening my woman, this is between the two of you Cosmic saint powerhouses. I'm just here to offer emotional support and watch your demise" he said and planted a kiss on Makena's lips. 

A kiss that she moaned happily into.

Dhruv's eyes widened and for the first time, Hal's claim that all those who were in the Silver moon sect were his property finally sunk in. 

Dhruv could not believe it, 

"Makena, you actually slept with this child?" He asked with an angry sneer that the Silver moon sect head ignored even as she separated from Hal.

Hal grinned at Makena, 

"Give him hell" he said and his skin turned Crimson marred with black lines as he took on the Mid-World Devil form.

"Will do" Makena told him as he flew downward to join the ongoing battle.

*Booomm!!!*

As Hal descended, he felt a wave of aftershock caused by the repelling force of the connecting blows of the two cosmic saints and it went farther than simply being powerful.

The shock alone damaged buildings and propelled Hal even faster downwards to the ground.

Makena knowing the resulting shocks from her battle with Dhruv, with them both of them being at the Cosmic Saint realm, could prove disastrous for her sect, decided to move battle even further up.

The two went right out of the opaque dome Hal had erected to surround the Silver moon sect.

Their battle moved so high up that every denizen in the Dreg Duchy capital, as large as it was could spectate.

A mirage seemed to pass over the opaque dome and for those inside it, it was no longer opaque but translucent and tinging every outside view they had with Royal blue color.

Of course, the on-ground battle being as busy as it was, no one really had the time or opportunity to spectate.

Even Hal wasn't watching.

Once his feet were on solid ground, he fashioned Devil energy into multiple daggers that all appeared around him and targeted every man he could find.

Then he summoned Executioner and his Cosmic Armament, dual-wielding the two to cut through the numerous enemies and absorb their blood essence while his Devil energy instilled immense fear in them. 

Outside of the Done and high up in the sky...

Makena and Dhruv had just separated after a powerful blow.

Makena had been the one to strike at her ex-lover and Dhruv had accurately predicted her point of attack and moved his hand to appropriately defend himself.

"Haha, give up, Makena" Dhruv said and sent a charged attack at the Silver moon sect head who used her Ordinance to intercept the attack with one of her own.

"Why should I? Surely by now, it should be more than clear that you no longer hold the upper hand" Makena said with a sneer as she raised her hand high up in the air to charge an attack that she prepared to toss at Dhruv.

The Dreg man took on a defensive pose as he said, 

"What? Because the disciples of your sect somehow got a bunch of flashy upgrades? Ha, you have no idea what I am capable of." He said and suddenly relaxed his pose.

Makena frowned as Dhruv closed his eyes and strange grey energy began to ooze out of his form. Energy that the Silver moon sect head knew immediately was related to Dhruv's Ordinance of Destiny.

Knowing she could not possibly let Dhruv complete whatever he was doing, Makena began sending saint attack after saint attack at him but even with his eyes closed, Dhruv was able to accurately predict and intercept all those attacks.

Then suddenly, he stopped moving his hands. Stopped making any more moves as the grey energy around him got even thicker.

Makena's senses were on high alert as she spread her Ordinance throughout the area she and Dhruv were. The reality of everything that happened in that area from that moment on was hers to control.

Or so it should have been but she found herself unable to affect the area Dhruv himself was in. The area thick with the grey unpredictable and untouchable energy of Destiny.

And then the buildup ended.

Dhruv opened his eyes and fired a beam of grey energy at Makena whose eyes widened when she realized she could not move away.

She was rooted to the spot.

Somehow she understood what was going on.

The grey energy charging right at her was not actually physical. It was merely a representation of what Dhruv had decided of her Destiny. A representation of what he had destined would become of her.

Even if she could move, which she could not because he had destined she would be rooted to the spot, she would not have been capable of avoiding it unless she had achieved Harnessing level comprehension in her Ordinance of Reality.

Which was virtually impossible for any human no matter how powerful as it was a comprehension level (in terms of Abstract Ordinance) reserved only for gods.

That said, the reason for this grey manifestation of Destiny was because, while definitely still at Insight level of comprehension, Dhruv was much farther along with his Ordinance than Makena was.

The Beam hit noiselessly and without any nuisance of unnecessary sound.

Immediately, Makena's internal Organs went out of control and...

-Puchi-

... She spat out blood.

However, the blood she spat was nothing compared to the weakness that now descended upon her.

Her organs going out of control and nearing rupture was because Dhruv had destined she would be diagnosed with a chronic terminal illness that would weaken her to the bones.

Rendering her incapable of harnessing Cosmic energy or even making use of her Ordinance.

In other words, it made her no more than a sitting duck who was at the mercy of Dhruv's sure-to-be merciless attacks.

Unable to muster any strength, there was no way Makena could remain airborne and she fell fast towards the ground.

Of course, even weak as she was, a fall from that height would not result in Makena's death as her body was still that of a Cosmic saint and sturdy enough to withstand it.

Before she hit the ground, however, Dhruv caught up with her as delivered a roundhouse kick to her unprotected side.

*Bam!*

The kick sent Makena rocketing and slamming into a hill at the outskirts of the Dreg Duchy capital.

"Ack" the Silver moon sect head groaned and struggled to pull herself out of the hill she was now encased in.

Dhruv, who was floating above her grinned and then waved his hand to pull her out with Cosmic energy and get her on the same level as himself before he struck her with a Cosmic saint attack.

However, before the attack hit Makena, she managed to release an angry blast of energy to intercept and the resulting blast of collision struck her and sent her smacking into the ground.

*Bang!*

Dhruv frowned.

That Makena had managed to summon the strength to defend herself did not entirely surprise him.

He had limitations in the use of his Ordinance.

Especially since she was a Three-star Cosmic saint like him and was also an Abstract Ordinance wielder.

Just as he could not simply destine her to die, he could not also permanently destine her to be ill.

At some point, the effects of his Destiny beam would wear off and he would need to reapply.

That said, the speed at which the effects wore off surprised him immensely.

But not as much as it surprised him to see Makena grinning.

He shot another beam at her and like before Makena could not evade it and she never tried to.

When it hit, she spat out blood once again and became incapable of harnessing Cosmic energy or making use of her Ordinance but even then she was still grinning.

In fact, it transitioned into rapturous laughter, 

"Hahahaha, Chronic terminal disease? That sounds about right" she said and a vibration reverberated around her form.

A result of what she had previously set in motion when she had briefly regained the ability to use her Ordinance.

However, it was not colorless like it usually was but instead a light red color.

As it surfaced around Makena's form, she used it to take control of the illness within her and switched her and Dhruv's realities.

There was no way the Dreg man could defend himself against the switch and as Makena became healthy, he clutched his chest and tried his utmost best to hold back a blood spurt...

-Puchi-

.... With absolutely no success.
