"(THIS ATTACK AGAIN!!)"
The girl moves beyond the speed of light and slices Light in six different places on his body, which only took her one second. Then she goes on to do the same continuously, non-stop.
"(THIS GIRL SERIOUSLY INTENTS TO KILL ME AT ALL COSTS NOW!! DAMMIT!!)"
In just 60 seconds, the girl has already slashed Light more than 360 times on various body parts.
The only reason Light survives is that he cleverly took advantage of his automatic transformation for defense. The moment the girl slashed him, he immediately untransformed his transformed body parts. He kept doing this for the entire 60 seconds and put all of his focus on untransforming his body parts to survive this entire sequence.
"(GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!)"
After an entire 60 seconds, Light risks his life by trying to warp out of his spot. He doesn't untransform his body part to distort space to warp away from his spot.
*!!*
*ZRASSSHH*
". . . ."
The girl stops. She looks to her front and back to look for Light. He reappears quite far away from the girl.
"Urgh!!"
Light is holding his left hand with his right. His left hand is bleeding on his forearm, and it was slashed quite deeply.
The girl smiles. She puts both of her hands to her left and right. She opens both of her palms, and two giant light blue clock-hand swords appear on either side of her hands. The giant blue sword has slightly different designs compared to her smaller ones. The massive sword is 20 meters in length and about 3,5 meters in width.
*!!*
The girl throws the giant sword in her right hand towards Light. Yet again, the massive sword travels at a speed faster than light.
Light opens his right palm in anticipation before she even throws her sword. Her giant sword lands directly on his palm, but at the same time, the girl suddenly appears behind him with her other giant sword.
The girl swings her giant sword, and Light blocks it using his transformed back alone. Both the sword on Light's palm and the one on his back broke apart, and their tiny pieces were absorbed into his transformed hand and back.
Light turns around and opens his palm. He was about to pull the girl into his arms, but the girl had already moved away from her spot.
"Tch! Slippery!"
The girl raises her right hand upwards towards the sky. She summons yet another giant sword in her right hand.
"Please, die!!"
The girl summons eight of her giant swords, and they all appear surrounding her vertically. The massive sword on her front floats towards the massive sword that she holds in her right hand above. The massive swords merge into a brighter and bigger sword.
Seeing this, Light in response clenches his right fist and blackens it. He takes a pose to throw a punch, even though he's far away from where the girl is.
And then one by one, the remaining seven of her giant swords float and merge into one massive sword in her hand. The sword in her hand grows substantially in size. It is now 200 meters in length and about 20 meters in width. The sword also glows unbelievably bright that the light of the stars and the moon from the sky pales in comparison. The glow of her massive sword illuminates the entire city just by existing alone.
"(That sword might destroy everything in its path. I hate to say it but it looks so beautiful despite that. . .)"
"Chrono's Wrath!!"
The girl swings her sword down. A slash of light came out of the swing, and it's flying at a speed faster than light yet again.
"City Mass, COLLATERAL REJECTION!!!"
Light throws a punch with his right hand. He times his punch so it barely connects as soon as the girl swings her sword down.
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
The clash between Light's and the girl's attack causes a massive shockwave that cracks every window in the surrounding buildings, and even the elevated highway below is caught in its massive radius. The girl's attack has been successfully nullified after it was hit by a similar amount of force. Her attack also explodes and breaks apart into tiny glass-like pieces that float and fill the air around. Lights reflecting on those tiny pieces create a very beautiful and unfathomable scenery, given how deadly the intention of the attack was.
*pant pant pant*
"This is tough. . . I need to keep going!"
*!?*
Light suddenly lands on something in mid-air.
"What?"
He looked down all around him, and there was a giant blue clock about 10 meters wide in diameter sitting horizontally in the sky, acting as a 'floor'. There are also Roman numerals appearing on all ‘corners’ of the surface from one to twelve, imitating a clock. Light is standing on top of the number six.
*THUD*
And then the girl appears and lands on the number twelve.
"What is this?"
"A fight to the death!"
The girl raises her right hand, and then a horde of her smaller blue swords erupt in massive amounts that cover every edge of the blue clock in the sky. They form a tall wall that blocks all exits in all directions. High above, there's another giant blue clock acting as a 'ceiling' that prevents escape from the top.
Light and the girl are now trapped inside a gigantic cylinder made of light with the two giant blue clocks as the floor and the roof, while her smaller blades appear countlessly to act as the walls on the sides.
The girl takes a stance. She raises both of her fists, and they glow in a light blue light.
Light takes a stance as well. He raises both of his arms and transforms his forearms pitch black.
"(This is my final struggle! If I don't make it out of this, she'll kill me!!)"
"(This is my final plan to attack. . . He has nullified every attack that I threw at him. If this doesn't work. . . if this doesn't work. . . I. . . I. . . NO!! I'LL MAKE SURE TO KILL HIM!!! SINCE I'VE STOPPED TIME, THAT GUY EARLIER WOULDN'T HAVE ANY TIME TO GO ANYWHERE!!! EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE!! I CAN DO THIS!! LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE!!)"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Light and the girl run forward towards each other, and they meet at the center.
*?*
“(She’s not moving as fast as she’s been doing?! There must be a limitation that I don’t know about her Faith power. This way, I can properly react to her attacks! CHANCE!)”
The girl punches, and Light does the same.
*BAAAM*
Their punches clash in the middle, and it sends a shockwave of air in all directions.
Light throws a forward kick from the side. The girl raises her left knee and blocks Light's kick. Light jumps and turns around, and sends a roundhouse kick with his left leg. The girl ducks backwards and dodges Light's kick entirely. The girl raises her right leg forward towards Light's back, striking from below. Light catches the girl's kick from below with his two hands. He pushes her leg down, and he lands on the ground. The girl recovers and does a side kick from her left leg. Light moves his right foot to block the girl's kick. Light throws a punch towards the girl's face. The girl narrowly dodges his punch and throws a counter punch with her right to his face as well. Light raises his left hand and redirects the girl's punch upwards using his left forearm. Both of them pull back their right fists and throw yet another punch forward. Their punches clash yet again, and they create another big shockwave of air.
Both of them jump back from each other and slide off the 'floor'. They land back in their initial positions, Light at number sis, while the girl stands at twelve.
The girl moves her right hand to the side and summons forth her light blue clock-hand sword. The girl runs forward again with her sword at her side.
Light clenches both of his blackened fists again and runs forward as well.
They meet at the center again. The girl swings her sword horizontally. Light raises his left fist and punches the girl's sword away, breaking it apart into tiny pieces. The girl raises her left hand and summons her clock-shield. She thrusts forward her clock-shield with its sharp, thin side. Light punches her clock shield right at its thin, sharp side and breaks it apart into pieces. Light does a forward kick towards the girl's stomach. The girl swiftly moves to the side, completely dodging his kick. The girl summons forth another blue sword in her right hand, but this time, she holds it backwards with its sharp tip pointing towards Light's leg. The girl thrusts her blue sword downwards, but Light emits gravitational pulls on her sword, and her sword changes direction towards Light's hand instead. Light transforms a bit of his forehead, and he headbutts the girl on her forehead as well.
"AAAKKHHH!!!"
The girl was launched away by the headbutt, and she fell over and slid a bit on the giant blue clock. Light teleports right above the girl before she can even recover. He prepares a punch with his right hand downwards.
"Car mass, REJEECTION!!!"
Light throws a punch downwards towards the girl's head. The girl narrowly dodges his punch again as it hits the clock below. She immediately summons forth her blue sword and swings it horizontally with her left hand towards Light's neck yet again.
"FUTILE!!"
Light suddenly shouts. The girl swings her sword, but it breaks apart when it comes into contact with his pitch-black neck. Light gathers air in his hand and bashes the girl with it, sending her flying.
"AAAAKKHH!!"
The girl slides off the blue clock and is now lying on number twelve again.
"It's over, Queen of Time!! No matter what attacks you throw at me, I'll just completely nullify them over and over and over again!!"
The girl was suddenly overcome by a terrible realization.
"Give it up!"
Light threatens the girl with such an overwhelming and undermining tone to give the illusion that the girl's capability is below his.
Making your opponents fear you is a valid strategy in a fight between Believers since Faith power is affected by things such as fear, doubts, pressure, mental state, and such. Someone who has doubts in their mind will subconsciously put a limit on themselves and thus affect the output of their Faith power. Some can even be consumed by their fear that they will completely lose access to their Faith power.
The girl is trembling. Her body is shaking, and her face shows fear and stress.
*!?*
And yet Light noticed that the girl's eyes aren't dead. They were still full of hope, like they still held on to something. Light looks upwards towards the sky diagonally forward from their current position in the air.
"Amazing. . . you really are the Queen of Time. . . I have no words. . ."
What Light saw was that there was a massive structure high above the sky, even above the clouds. A gigantic structure made out of the same light blue light, the same color and light that the girl has been creating for any of her arsenals.
It was a gigantic clock-hand sword floating above the sky, or more accurately, floating above the planet itself. The sword itself is almost twice as long as the diameter of the planet, and its width is larger than Jakarta city itself. It's light, however, illuminates every corner of the planet, and if time were not frozen, people located on the other side of the globe would be able to see the light that comes from this gigantic sword. And maybe they can even see the sword itself, given how big it is compared to the size of the planet. The light emitted from her gigantic sword illuminates the entire city in light blue.
The girl stands up.
"This is. . . my everything. . ."
"Are you really going to involve everyone else in the world? If left alone, your attack will surely wipe this planet in its entirety. Are you certain that you want this?"
"Compared to her, the weight of the entire world pales in comparison. . ."
"(Her?)"
"THIS IS THE END, JUDGE-SAN!!! THIS IS MY EVERYTHING!!"
The girl raises her fist, and it glows in bright light blue.
"CHRONOS' JUDGMENT!!!"
The girl swings her fist diagonally down and forwards. Along with her fist, the gigantic and massive sword floating above the planet starts to move diagonally towards the ground.
Light closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath and reopens his eyes. He clenches his fist and raises his open palm diagonally upwards.
"(Is he. . . really going to try to stop that?)"
The gigantic and massive sword moves downwards towards the city. In only a few seconds, its sharp edges reached where Light and the girl are in the sky. Light catches the edges of the massive sword with his blackened hand.
*ZRRRRRRRRTTTTTT*
*!!!!!!*
Light began absorbing the gigantic sword in its entirety into his right blackened hand. The girl saw such an unbelievable sight right before her eyes. Her ultimate technique has been nullified yet again by the boy in black. It only took him about 15 seconds to absorb the gigantic sword in its entire massive size.
Light doesn't say anything as he walks silently towards the girl. The girl was overcome by despair. Her face looks terrible, and it says that she has given up. She falls on her knees slowly but surely.
"There's someone else. . . who can stop my. . . most powerful attack. . ."
Light is now standing near the girl. He clenches his right blackened fist.
"Fall!! Queen of Time!!"
Light throws his final punch towards the girl's head.
"It's. . . over. . ." said the girl.
Amidst her already given-up mind, a flash of a smile appeared in her mind just for a few milliseconds.
*!!!*
All of a sudden, the girl regained her spirit. Her eyes show yet again that she's still holding on to hope. The girl summons her sword in her right hand, and she thrusts her sword right towards Light's chin from below.
*!!!*
Light retracts his punch and opens his right palm to catch the sword. The girl anticipates this, and she lets him catch her sword. She's already planning to summon a new sword as soon as he breaks this one.
*ZRAASSSHH*
*?!*
However, what happened was that Light caught the sword with his bare hand. He untransformed his hand at the very last second. He let her sword stab his hand purposefully.
"URGH!!"
He immediately transforms his hand as soon as his hand got stabbed to hold the sword in place. He also grabs the girl's hand with the same hand so she cannot escape his hold.
"BLACKHOLE DISTORT TIME! FALL! QUEEN OF TIME!"
Light raises his left fist and blackens it.
"CAR MASS, REJECTION!!!"
*BAAAAM*
Light lands the final blow. He punches the girl right on the side of her head with the same amount of force as a moving car. His punch didn't touch her head, yet his fist was imprinted on the girl's side of the head. She immediately falls towards the ‘floor’ below and stops moving. The girl has officially passed out.
Light won the fight. The sword stabbed on his right palm disintegrated into tiny pieces.
*pant pant pant*
"That was close. . ."
*?!*
As soon as the girl loses her consciousness, the giant cage of light in the sky cracks and then breaks apart into tiny pieces.
Light and the girl fall freely towards the highway below. He opens his palm and pulls the girl's body towards him, and catches the girl in his arms. He blackens both of his feet and lands safely on the highway below.
Light looks upwards towards the sky and sees a beautiful scenery of the tiny glass-like pieces of the girl's cage of light raining down towards the city. The reflection of the moon and stars on the glass-like fragments in the sky boosts the beauty of the view. He feels conflicted seeing this beautiful imagery coming from the Queen of Time herself.
After enjoying the view for a few seconds, Light realized that time had returned to normal and flowed again. He can finally feel the cold breeze of air brushing against his skin again.
Light looks down towards the girl in her arms. Even in her sleep, the girl's face shows a clear sign of sorrow and remorse.
"There's only one way to find out about this girl now. . ."
*!!!*
All of a sudden, Light falls on his knees.
"UKRGH!! WHAT?!"
The adrenaline rush that fueled him throughout the fight has subsided, and now all the physical stress that he experienced during the fight suddenly comes and bites him, and he is bombarded by a massive number of bodily pains, stresses, and aches all across his body.
"GAAAARRRGGHH!!!"
He almost falls and drops the girl, but he holds on to her as much as possible.
"AAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!"
After a few seconds, his sensation returns to normal.
*pant pant pant*
His breathing became heavy; he was exhausted from the fight.
"I. . . am not done with this girl. . ."
Light toughened himself up. He blackens both of his legs and jumps away, leaving the scene with the girl in his arms.
