As the moon hung low in the sky, its silver light spread across the land, making it the perfect night to sneak into enemy territory. Yui adjusted the straps of his backpack, feeling the weight of uncertainty on his shoulders. Void led the way, moving with purpose as they ventured deeper into this mystical realm.
When they reached Hermes' territory, they saw a huge blue-purple barrier surrounding it. When Kaito tried to touch it, a powerful electric shock threw him back several meters. It was the first time Kaito had felt such pure electrical energy.
"Hmm, I figured that would happen," Yui said.
"You knew this would happen?" Kaito asked, frustrated.
"Yeah, it's usually like that. We have to stay on our side and train our army as best as we can," Yui explained.
"Is there a way to get past it?" Kaito asked.
"Look," Yui said.
At the top of the barrier, there was a countdown showing how much time was left before the barrier would break and the fight would start.
**[63:32:34:03]**
Yui added, "Not that I know of. Most people use cheat codes, but I prefer to play fair."
"Cheats?" Kaito repeated, then started to laugh. "Hahaha, you should have mentioned that first!"
**Shin'en 1st Form: Void Stride**
During the Voidstride, a person may have deep insights, visions, or feel more aware of everything. They might see how everything is connected or catch glimpses of cosmic truths beyond what most people can understand.
However, mastering Voidstride is tough. It takes years of practice, discipline, and spiritual growth. The person needs to find inner balance and connect with the primordial forces of the universe.
Though Voidstride offers a way to escape the laws of reality, it comes with risks. Going too deep into the void can have unexpected consequences. Some say those who get lost in the void may lose their humanity or get trapped in an endless expanse of nothingness.
But for those who master Voidstride, the rewards are immense. They become true masters of primordial qi, able to travel the cosmos with unmatched freedom and understanding, surpassing the limits of mortal existence and touching the mysteries of the universe.
Void was enveloped in a glowing light and slowly walked toward Yui, touching him. Yui was also surrounded by the same light, and together they were able to pass through the barrier and enter Hermes' territory. Once inside, they saw a large number of highly trained warriors, each with control over primordial qi and a qi pool as powerful as Kaito's energy.
"How are they able to use primordial qi?" Yui asked.
Kaito, impressed that Yui could now sense other primordial qi users, replied, "They are Hermes' army. Primordial qi is the energy of the gods, so they can share it as much as they want."
Sensing that going further into Hermes' realm would be too dangerous, they decided to turn back and strategize.

**[All players, be ready. The fight is about to start in 3, 2, 1...]**
**[Fight]**
**[Match starting now: Void and Yui will be known as NovaBlade. Hermes will be known as AegisMaster.]**
The air was thick with tension as the two powerful warlords, AegisMaster and NovaBlade, faced off on the battlefield. AegisMaster commanded an army of incredible size, with each soldier powered by the ancient energy of primordial qi.
As the battle began, the ground shook under the weight of AegisMaster's massive forces. His legions, thousands strong, moved with perfect coordination, showcasing his mastery over both strategy and magic. Each soldier channeled primordial qi, enhancing their strength and combat skills.
On the other side, NovaBlade's forces stood firm, facing the overwhelming might of AegisMaster's army with determination. Though outnumbered, NovaBlade's warriors refused to give up, relying on their courage and willpower to stand against the powerful enemy.
As the battle raged on, AegisMaster's troops launched devastating attacks, their strikes tearing through reality itself. But despite their immense power, they found themselves locked in a stalemate with NovaBlade's resilient warriors. NovaBlade's troops fought with a tenacity that defied all odds, their spirits unbroken even in the face of overwhelming force.
In a final attempt to break the deadlock, AegisMaster gathered his forces for a decisive assault. With a roar, his legions surged forward, their ranks strengthened by the pulsating energy of primordial qi. NovaBlade's warriors braced themselves, knowing their survival depended on holding the line against the unstoppable force charging toward them.
**[NovaBlade Wins]**
The battlefield was a place of chaos, where reality seemed to break down under the weight of the conflict. On one side were Void and Yui, mysterious warriors with unknown origins. Opposing them were Hermes, the swift messenger of the gods, and the War God, a fierce warrior whose presence alone instilled fear in his enemies.
As the battle began, the air buzzed with tension, and the ground trembled under their feet. Void, a master of dark magic, unleashed waves of shadowy energy that twisted reality. Yui, a skilled and agile warrior, moved through the chaos with precision, her blades flashing as she struck with deadly accuracy.
Hermes, moving with incredible speed, darted across the battlefield, leaving a trail of light behind him. His celestial powers boosted the War God, whose mighty presence loomed like a shadow of death over the battlefield.
The clash between light and darkness, speed and strength, continued with intense ferocity. Void's dark magic clashed with Hermes' divine light, warping reality as their energies collided. Meanwhile, Yui's quick strikes tested the War God's defenses, her blades finding weak spots in his armor.
Despite their efforts, neither side could gain the upper hand. Void's shadowy tendrils were matched by Hermes' divine light, and Yui's swift attacks were blocked by the War God's strength.
As the battle reached its peak, Void unleashed a powerful wave of darkness, threatening to engulf the battlefield in eternal night. Sensing the danger, Yui threw herself into the fight, her blades creating a dazzling display of death and destruction as she tried to stop the darkness.
But even as Void's power grew, Hermes and the War God stood firm, their resolve unbroken by the encroaching shadows. With a burst of divine energy, Hermes unleashed a blinding flash of light that cut through the darkness, illuminating the battlefield. In that moment of clarity, the War God struck with all his might, shattering Void's defenses and bringing him to his knees.
"Finally, we were able to absorb your gods' powers," said Void.
As Hermes grew weaker, he could no longer sustain his territory, and so NovaBlade won.
