The current Dai'er could easily be described as an Empress of Flames. Coated in vermillion flames, each strand of her hair glowed as though it were imbued with the power of a hundred suns let alone the rest of her body. She truly seemed to stand atop the world.
And yet, looks were deceiving. She was strong, incredibly so, but she couldn't reach the pinnacle of the world. Her power was something her body couldn't withstand and if it weren't for the Phoenix God pushing his will upon her, she wouldn't even have done something so foolish.
What Dai'er was doing was actually quite simple, she was using her Martial Soul True Body to merge her body and ninth ring together. As far as Yuena could tell, that was how her seventh ring was supposed to be used. But that didn't make it effortless.
Her seventh ring was unusually strong, bringing her strength to its limits and adding on the power of another entity. But her body wasn't strong enough to house that kind of power for long let alone her ninth ring which far outclassed her for the moment.
'Tch. With that last move, my idiot could defeat her effortlessly.' Clicking her tongue, Gu Yuena was annoyed at the nagging feeling gnawing at her mind. Wulin had surpassed her. For the first time, he no longer stood beside her. Now he was taking the first step forward.
It was this harlot that drew it out of him. It was her that pushed Wulin in a way that only she had until now. It was her that allowed him to beam with such joy. It was her. She did that. Yuena should be happy for him but…
"…I don't like it." Gritting her teeth, Gu Yuena raised her hand toward the sky as an absurd amount of heaven and earth energies began to coalesce in the skies above. Dark clouds rumbled into existence, the crackle of thunder concealing the shrieks of those on the earth.
Unlike her partner, Yuena's divinity was almost entirely decorative. Besides making her harder to hurt and enhancing her energies slightly beyond mortal limits it didn't do much. But she did have divinity. It may only be a single drop, a tiny droplet that could hardly be perceived, but who was she?
She was the Silver Dragon Emperor, the entity born of the Dragon God's wisdom and the universal representation of Creation. She was the one who reigned supreme over all and who dominated all. That was who she was, a being who was never second.
She may be weakened, she may be mortal, and she may be young but she was a GOD. In her hands, even a drop of power could make reality quiver. The universal order may judge her and her partner may be angry but… that comes later. Right now, she just wanted to wipe that abomination's grin right off her face.
Stars of all colors manifested in the storm clouds, the lightning growing ever stronger as the storm cloud deepened in color. In a brief instant, the entirety of Shrek was covered in darkness as nine colors illuminated the stage.
"Roar, Nebula." Nobody could hear her voice over the roar of lightning as numerous small streaks of divine judgment fell from the sky but the enraged Silver Dragon Emperor didn't care, all that mattered was stopping this farce now. Each streak of divinity contained the power to force a title douluo to their knees and she released dozens of them.
Dai'er was far from able to endure that much by herself but with the Phoenix God involved, Yuena had no doubt that she could handle it. As much as Yuena wanted to get rid of the issue once and for all, she didn't want to kill Dai'er.
"...!" A white pillar of light cleaved the heavens, the clouds of divinity and absolute element control pulled apart at the seams. A presence incredibly close to divine tried to force her to her knees, the ground cracking as she fell to one knee.
"That's enough. Don't tarnish this chance any more than you already have." Yun Ming's cold tone reached every corner of the arena, his hand darting to the side and effortlessly pulling Xie Xie out of the reverse world.
A single wave of his spear dispersed the flames that had burst back to life under Mu Xi's invigoration. A wave of spear intent so thick it was suffocating washed over the arena as silence replaced the turbulent shouts and murmurs.
"Unable to control her ninth ring, Dai'er threatened the life of her juniors. She will be forced to step away from classes until she can control herself. Likewise, the five students who tarnished this joyous day will be required to clean the Spirit Ice Plaza twice a day for three months." Yun Ming's voice spread through the silent arena, his verdict unchangeable.
He had twisted the events of today as he pleased and issued punishments for their misdoings as he pleased however Yuena didn't have any place to complain. She and her comrades had firmly placed that they were talented and strong in Shrek's mind, now they needed to curb the fear of this unfortunate event.
"The team battle will be postponed indefinitely and the arena will be opened to the public after it is repaired. Classes will be canceled for two weeks and all necessary amenities will be free for the duration." Tapping his pure white spear onto the ground, a strangely comforting feeling washed over the arena as the panic was settled in an instant.
Floating down to her husband's side, Ya Li glanced at him for a moment before she carefully lifted Dai'er and vanished. The young Title Douluo was hurt badly but she would survive without adverse effects.
"As for you all… come with me. Now." Narrowing his eyes, Yun Ming made it very clear that there was no room for discussion. Glancing at each other awkwardly, none made a move to escape as the Atlas Douluo turned his back and expected them to follow. It didn't take a genius to know they wouldn't make it far after all.
Their chance to attend Shrek… was gone.

Hey there, hope you liked the chapter.
To be completely honest with you, I need help quite badly. I need ideas for attack names for Gu Yuena and I can't think of much of anything. Previously, all her attacks were named after mythological things to relate to divinity but give it a flavor of mortality. Now I need something that goes a bit beyond that and genuinely reaches the level of divinity. In my head, that's something like space phenomena but those don't make great names, so I need some help. Anything is appreciated but it's not required so don't stress over it or anything.
If you want more chapters, head to patre*on.com/TrapOverlord for up to 25 extra chapters. It isn't required but it'd be much appreciated.
