Long Yi had sent Amelia's attacks into the future, but they were only sent to a point that was slight moments away, causing Amelia to receive her own attacks. Through death, she was revived from the after life by [Blessing], getting rid of all status effects casted upon herself by her own attacks.
Amelia vanished, her visage returned behind Long Yi. Her aura was unmistakable, she had gone behind Long Yi in a division of time beyond a mere moment, there was no longer a way to measure it. Every passing moment within Amelia's vision, she has only been accelerating faster and faster, brute forcing that singular moment into a smaller window of time. Long Yi moved her left arm behind her neck, blocking a full on strike from Amelia's right fist. Even with her full speed and strength, Long Yi easily read her attack and responded in kind, for Long Yi was also a god who was similarly rapidly increasing in speed.
Their perceptions of time had long gone past light and matter, tracing past the dregs of reality and into the dull looking sub dimension that is the edge of the world. They act in an endless race against each other until one of them falls. Amelia rains blow after blow while dodging Long Yi's attacks, but they seemed to have no effect on her opponent. Instead, each blow is sent back into Amelia. Punches filled to the brim with [blessing] are pounded repeatedly into Amelia, but the inner mass of [Blessing] inside her body successfully deflected them away. If anyone knew her attacks best, it would obviously be her. That entailed knowing how to counter her own attacks.
Filling her own body with more [Blessings] than the punch is filled with, it would deflect the attacks Long Yi sent back with some ease. But Amelia never let up, even with her own attacks beginning to pressure her body and puncture her skin. Her attacks only became fiercer and fiercer, with each passing movement growing more powerful. Her arms slam with enough force to light up a galaxy on fire, with her subsequent punch almost reaching the level of a universe.
Throwing two punches, she sent her leg up for a high kick, she vanished and reappeared behind Long Yi, throwing a devastating left hook. This time, she added [Revelation] to her punch, taking away momentary awareness by forcing her to ignore the oncoming attack. Her knuckles collide with Long Yi's skin, a flash of light peaking out of her fractured flesh. A massive hole bursts into Long Yi's side, erasing the left side of her chest and ribs along with her shoulder up to her elbow and her waist.
The activation of her second skill [Tears shed unseen] was conscious, meaning the enemy had to calculate Amelia's attack's location and power. She was able to easily do it with the computing power of a God magical girl, but it still required that she knew the attack was coming. But even penetrating through this invulnerability of hers... She still had a second safety net.
"[An external long held wish, inner Catastrophe]." (Long Yi)
The damage reverses, as if time was flowing backwards. The disintegrated bits if her flesh come back into being, then fuse back into one once more. She claps her hand together, her eyes looks down as her floating hair gushes about around her, her body levitated over Amelia in one motion.
"[An external long held wish, inner Catastrophe], go back to the beginning... Resound eschatos." (Long Yi)
The world of grey collapses, even this sub dimension has its beginnings... Its cause... If the 'cause' of the present can be said to be the past... Then this will demonstrate why Long Yi is a destroyer. Her magic forces the universe to go back to its beginning, but at such a high level of influencing the fundamentals of the universe's beginning, her presence is enough to permanently change how the big bang came about. Even as something as significant as a single atom moved slightly differently, the changes would compound into something monumental.
Of course, there was the simple option of...
Long Yi swipes her right arm upwards, blocking a large portion of the big bang that the world had finally arrived at. Now a third of the universe will not be born, it might or might not have the earth, it didn't matter. The universe would continue to operate differently for the rest of its assured existence...
Amelia steps forward, her blond hair and pale skin seemed to shone even beyond the confines of the environment surrounding them in a vacuum. It didn't matter where they were, her looks would stand out and turn heads. Her nun habit and blond hair fled to her left, swaying gently under the coat of her own aura. Her expression resolute and unfazed before the atrocity before her eyes.
Her magic truly was the opposite of Long Yi's. As opposed to a cold and calculating manipulation of cause and effect, it simply brought about miracles imaginable by men. It was not a true miracle in that sense, as it is something that humans can always understand. But it need not make logical sense with the current predicament, it only had to be something that people are able to imagine. Throwing her left arm straight into the air, swiping it to point at her left with sheer reality and divinity, she activates [Blessing].
As long as humanity exists... No, as long as humanity had once existed and wishes to thrive just as all life do, Amelia will be their ally. She is the pope saintess, the goddess herself and her own messenger, as well as the highest authority in her own Holy kingdom. In other words, she is an apostle of desire. As long as the people wish for a brighter future, she will indulge in them, allowing her corrupt holy knights to collide with the demons. Even if her knights had maliciously wished for conquest of other lands, she would give it to them. Human desire, both the good and the bad, that is what she is.
She won't tell others to do her chores, but she won't put in all of her effort either. She is a slave to her own emotions, that includes laziness as well. But this was no place for sloth, her kingdom, her entire species and home planet were at risk. From the outside, it looks like a nun battling a hooligan with a back-embroidered dragon jacket. They were both blond, their beauty shone in different rays with sculptured perfection. They only show off boring expressions exhibiting the gravity of the situation.
With the universe restored by [Blessing], the world of grey returned and everything naturally went back to their initial positions. They were even back together with their allies, even if the distance is infinitely far apart they would be able to find each other if they bothered to try. They had gone back to the very start of their individual fight. Both of them powered up with their respective first skills, causing their aura the swell even further into a subconscious territory.
Might as well expand it further. Amelia widens her stance and curls her back comfortably, a habit from her days as a hermit on full display. She thrusts her arm into the air in front of her, pointing at Long Yi. On the other hand, Long Yi points her legs inwards and covers her left eye with her left hand.
"Oblivion Magia, Feigning Trite Hallowed present. Prostrate, then repent. " (Amelia, Pope saintess representative of mankind)
"Oblivion Magia, all consuming and drowning universe. Submerge in Catastrophe, there is no escaping reality. " (Long Yi, manipulator of cause and effect, head akashic administration, catastrophic destroyer)
An orb of white surrounds Amelia, then it covers the universe in a flash. Dark yellow light began to protrude from Long Yi's aura, forming an urchin like structure, before exploding into extending spikes that reach into the far edge of the universe. The areas of the white sphere... Amelia's territory that came into contact with the urchin structure's spikes, Long Yi's territory, had molded into a greenish black. Dark bluish lines began to spread across the newly whiten world, starting from Amelia's feet, drawing an illustrious crest on the ground... Then a sphere and many other emblems and characters. 3 dimensional embroidery fills her world as solid white structures arise from thin air into existence.
At the end of it all was a floating temple so large it could fill the void. The dark yellow spike structure from Long Yi's side solidified and extended, they morphed into endless roots that dug into the temple floors thoroughly and grew in every direction, forming a 3 dimensional maze of an unknown substance. Pristine white structures began to peek out among the dark yellow roots, filling Long Yi's side with crumbling marble and out of place ruins.
Alert, Amelia jumped out and dodged one of those roots in time, before summoning more of her temple to smash into the root. How could they intrude into her space so easily? Space...? Cause and effect... It is erasing the effect, the dark yellow roots have the magic ability to bring the space it makes contact with back into a previous state...
It is continuously rewinding time back to when Amelia's Oblivion Magia hasn't activated yet, and then filling the space with itself, the dark yellow roots, they are manifestations of Long Yi's territory. They are counted as part of her territory, so once she intrudes... She can't be removed. Her temple that reaches the ends of the universe do not mean anything if they can't block Long Yi's expansion.
That was what Long Yi meant... As long as something exists in reality, then it will have a cause and effect, prime for Long Yi's magic to invalidate. [Blessing] brings impossible miracles into existence, but these miracles have a strict limit in that they have to be comprehensible to the human mind. As long as Amelia could imagine something, then it could happen. But these sorts of things always have a cause and effect, precisely because they are comprehensible...
Long Yi leaps in, her foot touching the dark yellow root directly under her, her body expanding her territory to protect her body from the effect of [Blessing]. In her hand is an item similarly coloured to what she stood on, it expands in a flash, growing to the length of a building, then a country. She swings it around like a staff, before slamming it over Amelia's head. The area her staff traces turn dark yellow and begin connecting to her territory like electric sparks flying through the air.
*BOOM!!!*
A resounding shock wave flooded any eardrums that were in the vicinity. Black gloves that match her nun habit were adorned onto her smooth and supple fingers, they curled elegantly and gracefully into a fist like no other, exuding a strange aura of beauty none could describe. She blocked the country lengths staff pole of magic with her gloves formed by [Blessing], she took on a similar idea from Long Yi and molded it to her liking.
With a single step, she closed the distance between them, the staff pole was completely useless here. Her gloves were thin and velvety smooth, as if every microscopic detail from her skin's microbiome could be seen on it. It shaped her fingers and skin tightly without leaving any room for air, as if they were painted onto her skin, but the flawless and u wrinkled texture like a diamond's surface betrays the fact that it's not paint. Arriving closer, her glove expands into an enormous fist as she throws it at her enemy.
With another thundering tremor shaking the edge of the world, series of blows commenced. One, two, left and right, Amelia smashes her knuckles into the miniature staff pole Long Yi used to block her first attack. Then she throws a kick that cracks the pole in half before finishing off with a left punch. Long Yi throws her own left fist, using her second skill to protect herself, but... Her arm explodes into a bits of flesh.
[Revelation] forced Long Yi into thinking and seeing Amelia throw her fist earlier than she thought. She saw an illusion of Amelia's glove smashing into her dark yellow pole without any effect, without any sensation, believing it was due to the effect of her own second skill. Then the real attack arrived. Amelia throws her right fist multiple times, this time all of it was blocked due to Long Yi leaving her pseudo invulnerability magic on for longer. A dark yellow spear flies at Amelia from afar, faster than any sniper bullet in existence, it breaks past the speed of light and matter and practically teleport into Amelia's brain...
Through the effect of [Blessing], it cleanly passes through her flesh, leaving a large hole... And takes away another of Long Yi's arms cleanly without resistance. Usually her own attacks wouldn't affect her, they melt into something finer than gas, they dissipate back into magical particles as they contact her body. But this time they were coated with a thin layer of [Blessing]. Her arms grew back, but Amelia keeps her pressed onto the ground with her right foot, by stepping on her chest.
She is kept in place by the foot, even though she wouldn't take damage from it.
