( At the same time. )
"( This battle is been dragged for so long... )" Inquisitor Kara says as she fights Raiden, dueling their Thunder to the fullest which is the stupidest thing to do for both of them.
"( Our elemental Gifts are too similar... )" she says to Aphrodite inside her as she tells the goddess about the very condition of their battle.
"{ ( I already know that, my dear Kara... ) } " Aphrodite says.
"{ ( I know that fighting thunder with thunder is a strategy with no means of victory..., but... ) } "
"{ ( We must use this strategy to at least defend ourselves, especially your body from his Deviant Thunder. ) }" Aphrodite says as she guides the Inquisitor to block Raiden's attacks.
" What's wrong, Inquisitor!? "
" Why are you spacing out? don't space yourself out. " Raiden says as he continues to attack the Inquisitor with his Thunder and strength.
"{ ( Grrhhh...., even without his Sin Core ability, he already managed to give dear Kara's body fatal damage. ) }" Aphrodite thinks while still partially in control of Inquisitor Kara's body.
"{ ( I need to find out how to give us the utmost advantage over him while waiting for them... ) }" she says and looks to her right.
" What are you looking for right now, Inquisitor? " Raiden asks as he attacks her off-guarded.
"( Goddess, he caught me off-guard. )" Kara says to Aphrodite but she replied that it's alright for she got it covered.
[ Thunder Sanctification ]
[ Heals every wound received by the User. ]
[ If this skill is used to heal wounds caused by Thunder elemental attacks, then the healing process would be quicker. ]
As she heals the wounds on Kara's body, Aphrodite then looks at Raiden for she realizes that even with her and Kara combining themselves to fight him, it will still not be enough.
"{ ( By Olympus, I've had underestimated our enemy so much for being too confident with my power and dear Kara's battle powers combined in our current state. ) }"
"{ ( I must say the truth to myself that this is the first time in my entire existence that I had a Divine Avatar from those who worshipped me. ) }"
"{ ( Unlike the others who had tons of them in the past and constantly replace them with another, for me, dear Kara is the first person I could trust to entrust my power with even she is only at a Tier III Gift Core from my Divine Gift Ability. ) ) }"
Aphrodite realizes why she's having a hard time, fighting Raiden. Even if she's from the divine, she was not known for her battle prowess but for her power only in using Divine Thunder's ability like the others and this very trait of hers is why she probably chose Kara who had a ton of battle experiences in the past in order to shield her combat weakness.
But sadly, despite already having an Avatar based on her needs, the result was still not good enough as the weakness she possesses often affects Kara in her battles, weakening her battle prowess so often during the fight with Raiden, and even Kara herself realizes this weakness after some time with her in this state.
"( Goddess..., )"
"( Please stop, let me fight him... I can beat him... )" Kara says to Aphrodite.
Stressed since this is her first time fighting an enemy with her Divine Avatar, Aphrodite then asks Kara if she is sure that she can defeat him in combat and Kara immediately replied that she can do it for she already notices Raiden's weakness during Aphrodite's fight with him using her body at the time.
"{ ( You noticed his weakness, dear Kara? how? ) }" Aphrodite asks.
"( It is simple, goddess... )"
"( Remember when you attack him using your Thunder Chains earlier? )" Kara asks while she's receiving an attack from Raiden.
" You turned down your power, Inquisitor... "
" Why? "
" Why did you do it? " Raiden asks while attacking.
As he did that he then uses another Thunder Deviation to attack Kara which she parried with Sharptusk in her head activating the DIE Weapon's ability to absorb Thunder.
" What? " Raiden was shocked as it happened.
" I was hoping you did that, Raiden. " Kara says as she then increases the Divine Power inside her once more.
[ Divine Avatar's Skill: Divine Power Imbue ]
[ This skill allows the Divine god to imbue the Divine Avatar with their power. Imbuing their Gift Core Energy, physical power, and even weapons, thus making them more than just a mere Gifted Mortal. ]
As she does that, Inquisitor Kara then imbues Sharptusk with her Divine Power Imbue, essentially combining the Deviant Thunder with Divine Thunder out of her desperation and out of Aphrodite's approval over this idea.
"{ ( Originally, I'm against this very idea, dear Kara. ) }" she says to the Inquisitor.
"{ ( Combining the power of the Demons with the power of the Divine is one of the most forbidden things that 'we' the gods forbade based on our Divine Laws. ) }" she explains the rules that she referred to, the 'Rule of Separation', the rule that basically forbids anyone to combine any deviant energy to divine energy for the gods viewed such combination is unholy and must be separated immediately.
But still, despite it being forbidden. Aphrodite still lets Kara do it not because she just let her, but because she herself knows her own state for she is no longer a part of the Divine after she inhabits Kara's body without the others noticing and approval, thus making her fugitive if the other gods know about this.
As she lets her, Aphrodite and Kara then charge at Raiden, swearing to him that the fight will end in a flash which insults him so much as she replied with his attacks as he found Kara to be so prideful as she boasted about her victory while she's being cornered many times in the previous battles.
" Really now, you want to end this...? "
" How dare you say that? "
" Do you even realize that you're the one who's losing in our fight? so many times? " Raiden asks as he presses on.
[Thunder Sin Deviation: Baal Blade Burst]
Using the skill, Raiden attacked Kara with bursting Deviant Thunder so powerful, it made her flinch for a bit, but thankfully, our Inquisitor is imbued with so much Divine Power plus her DIE Weapon's ability that slowly absorbs Raiden's Deviant Thunder.
As it happened, Raiden was shocked to see it and Kara and Aphrodite use the chance to launch their attack.
" I told you, didn't I? "
" This fight ends in a flash," Kara says as her voice were imbued with Aphrodite's voice and immediately uses the attack after a lot of power increase and imbuements.
[ Divine Attack: Divine Flash Slicer ]
....
....
....
" Now the fight ends... "
" In a flash... " Kara and Aphrodite say after slicing half of Raiden's body.
