Without hesitation, the Dragon god commanded, "Mirror Realm."
Instantly, the world around them shattered like glass falling downward, revealing a slightly less vibrant world with the blue sky still shining above them.
Orion looked around and noticed that the world before him was split into two sides. The first side was the ruined battleground, where 'Oberon' was healing the remaining Pixies who had survived the battle and evacuating them to a much safer location, ensuring their safety.
Meanwhile, his presence deterred the Bone Dragons from coming any closer, prompting them to focus on the illusionary, hazy, impermeable barrier in the sky that confined the Dragon god and Oberon, preventing the effects of their battle from leaking into the real universe.
They waited with solemn expressions to see who would emerge victorious.
On the other side, the empty snowy expanse stretched below them, devoid of dragons and Pixies. Even the once vibrant Garden, resembling a forest, had vanished from the first side. Neither Pixies, Bone Dragons, nor Oberon were present.
The only two beings remaining were the Dragon god and Oberon, now distanced from each other.
"He's not taking this battle seriously. Although he's strong, the Dragon god is not easily defeated. I wonder if this will be a lesson for him," Aerialia remarked, narrowing her eyes at the split scenes unfolding before her.
Meanwhile, Oberon recognized the place on the opposite side and focused on the Dragon god. "Go ahead, Dragon god, show me the full power of a god," he declared loudly.
The Dragon god gazed at Oberon with caution and fierce emotion. Suddenly, his body began to shrink smaller and smaller, transforming until he became an 8-meter humanoid dragon with a wing span large enough to cover his entire body. His ebony horns still curved around his head like a crown, but this time, his body was covered in rainbow-coloured full-body armour without a headpiece.
Clearly, the Dragon god had assessed Oberon's strength and decided to shrink himself down to avoid being an easier target.
"Brace yourself, unknown god," the Dragon god declared.
Law of Earth: Dragonic Earthen Rampart! Law of lightning: Stormcaller's Wrath! Law of Air: Aerial Cyclone! Law of Fire: Inferno Breath!
Orion watched in amazement as a large chunk of the earth, as though it had been split in half, transformed into an enormous earth dragon that soared through space, staring down at Oberon. And just when he thought it was over, the other part of the split earth also transformed into an enormous earth-armoured dragon that soared over space, fixating its gaze on Oberon.
Almost instantly, Orion witnessed a cosmic storm of lightning raging over them, mostly bathing the earthen dragons themselves as though they embodied the very essence of the storm. Some of the lightning bolts struck down against Oberon, but his body remained unscathed. And just as the cyclone reappeared, a brilliant flash of light shone brightly as a tide of fire swept through space, destroying everything in its path.
As the Dragon god launched his attack forward, a bright flash of light heralded the destruction of the space around them. Orion quietly squinted his eyes, not wanting to miss such a monumental battle he had never imagined possible. He heard the Dragon god speak again, "Divine Apex: Dragonic Cataclysm!"
Orion didn't know what the Dragon god had just unleashed, but he witnessed the space around him wrinkle and tremble. Flames resembling a divine inferno wrapped around him, with air that seemed to be alive controlling the movement of the inferno, transforming into raw energy that vibrated with impending cataclysm.
Soon, water of catastrophic volume, large enough to drown several planets and crush them into fragmented rocks, broke down everything in its path until it melded with this chaos. Lightning crackled from the depths of the cosmic storm that shrank around the Dragon god before exploding outward.
It engulfed everything in its path, consuming and annihilating everything from planets to stars, including Oberon.
At that moment, Orion beheld it—the raw, overwhelming power of a god.
"The 'Divine Apex' is a technique that manifests a god's authority and command over the 'Divine Mysteries,' and an accumulation of their knowledge and strength. It's only used when a god feels cornered, with nothing else to give, believing it will turn the tide of battle. As such, this attack can be the decisive factor, determining their victory or defeat," Aerialia explained, noticing Orion's puzzled expression before redirecting his focus to Oberon, who was at the epicentre of the attack.
Orion's eyes widened in realization, and he nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. Finally, he understood why Aerialia had urged him to flee when facing a god. He saw the foolishness in believing he could challenge them with his current strength.
Aerialia couldn't help but smile faintly, observing Oberion's current condition. 'Seems even you have limits,' she mused to herself.
Before them, Oberon's lips were bleeding, emitting a black-sky-
blue liquid that sprayed from his mouth. It was evident that Oberon was injured, yet despite his wounds, he stood unwavering, observing the Dragon god, who was now breathing heavily.
In an instant, Oberon vanished and materialized before the Dragon god, gripping his neck firmly with his right hand, wrapping his left hand around it, and twisting to the side as if attempting to tear it from his body.
The Dragon god screamed, "Let go!" Although he wasn't afraid of his body being torn apart or fragmented, as he would likely regenerate given time, Oberon's immense strength meant he could also attack his very soul, making this a risk he couldn't allow.
Oberon delivered a powerful headbutt, sending shockwaves rippling through the space around them. He repeated the action, headbutting the Dragon god until cracks formed on his skull, blood oozing out.
With one final, decisive move, Oberon ripped the Dragon god's head from his body. Before the Dragon god could utter a word, Oberon's wings glowed, releasing Pixie dust that covered the Dragon god's now shrunken, bloody body, reducing him to the size of a fingernail in Oberon's grasp.
The Dragon god's eyes widened in shock as he realized that only the Pixie race possessed such a unique ability, as only they could utilize them so effortlessly. Looking up at Oberon's towering figure from his tiny perspective, the Dragon god's eyes sparkled with memories flooding back into his mind.
"You… you are an Omnithriallian," the Dragon god uttered instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief as he deciphered the identity of the being he had just fought.
He understood that even his soul would not escape an Omnithriallian's grasp after his body was destroyed. However, sensing something amiss, he shook his head and said, "No, you are not an Omnithriallian. What are you…"
Just as he was about to complete his sentence, Oberon clapped his hands together, creating a thick shockwave that stretched for hundreds of kilometres, obliterating both the Dragon god's body and soul.
