Chapter 664 664 Battle For The Time Stone 2
Aldred and Quantum moved with almost supernatural speed, creating an intricate dance of blades and spears that seemed to defy the laws of physics. The sheer intensity of their confrontation echoed through the celestial realm, capturing the attention of the remaining Celestial Schemata and the crew of the Stardust Voyager who watched with bated breath.
With each clash between the blade and the spear, a powerful shockwave were sent to blow up dust and rocks all over the place. n./OVelb1n
"Is it just me or did Aldred grow stronger than before?" Cleome commented.
Salamander watched intensely. "He definitely grow stronger."
Quantum Sentinel attacked with relentless precision, and with a sudden, unexpected move, his spear found its mark.
Aldred's left shoulder bore the impact, and a surge of pain shot through his arm. The injury weakened his left side, and he felt the strain of the battle intensifying.
"You think you can injure me without receiving anything back?"
Despite the pain, Aldred swiftly retaliated. With a calculated strike, he aimed for Quantum Sentinel's right knee.
The Phantom Doomblade cut through the metallic frame with a burst of magical flames, leaving a trail of sparks in its wake.
Quantum staggered, its movements slightly slower and less fluid.
The impact on its knee proved to be a significant blow, and Aldred seized the opportunity.
He darted forward, his Phantom Doomblade ablaze, and delivered a series of precise strikes. Each swing was aimed at exploiting Quantum's vulnerability.
The celestial battleground echoed with the clash of steel and the hum of ethereal energy as Aldred pressed his advantage.
Sparks flew as the Phantom Doomblade danced through the air, leaving trails of fire in its wake.
Quantum, despite its mechanical nature, seemed to struggle against the onslaught. The luminescent lines on its body flickered as the damage accumulated. Vortimer, observing from the sidelines, clenched his metallic fists in frustration. The mighty Quantum Sentinel, his loyal champion, was being pushed to its limits by a mere human.
Aldred continued his relentless assault. The battle had become a dance of agility and strategy, with each combatant seeking an opening in the other's defenses.
The injured left shoulder continued to throb with pain, but Aldred fought through it, his focus unwavering. He knew that every moment counted, and with each strike, he aimed to bring the mighty robotic champion to its knees.
"Ha! I will defeat you right here! Right fucking now!"
Quantum Sentinel, despite the visible damage, revealed an unexpected surge of power. Luminescent lines on its body glowed with an intensified brilliance, and its movements became even more precise and calculated.
Aldred, caught off guard by this sudden escalation, found himself on the defensive. The celestial battleground became a whirlwind of magical clashes as Quantum pressed forward with relentless force. Sparks flew from the Phantom Doomblade as it desperately parried the relentless assault, but it was clear that Aldred was losing ground.
The crew of the Stardust Voyager watched in tense silence as the battle took an unexpected turn. Shinari clenched her fists, her eyes widening with concern.
She wanted to leap towards Aldred and helped him, but she held herself.
Aldred struggled to match the newfound strength of Quantum Sentinel. The robotic champion, driven by an unseen force, advanced with an otherworldly determination.
Quantum cornered Aldred, its majestic spear cutting through the air with an almost hypnotic grace. Each strike pushed Aldred further towards the edge of defeat. The luminescent patterns on Quantum's body pulsed with an intensity that seemed to resonate with the very essence of the celestial realm.
Aldred struck the ground, creating a smoke of dirt and dust that temporarily blinded Quantum.
However, it was a futile effort as Quantum found him and pressed on.
Aldred, gritting his teeth, fought back with all his remaining strength. However, the injuries sustained in the battle and the overwhelming power of Quantum Sentinel proved to be formidable obstacles. His movements grew sluggish, and his defense became increasingly desperate.
In a swift and calculated move, Quantum disarmed Aldred, sending the Phantom Doomblade spinning across the battlefield. With a powerful kick, Quantum knocked Aldred to his knees.
The robotic figure stood over Aldred, its imposing presence casting a shadow on the defeated god. Quantum raised its spear, the sharp side hovering dangerously close to Aldred's neck. A small, precise cut was made, drawing a bead of blood.
"No!" Shinari shouted.
Vortimer, watching from the sidelines, wore a triumphant smirk. The once-mighty Aldred, now kneeling before the power of Quantum Sentinel, seemed like a mere mortal in the face of cosmic superiority.
"You've never stood a chance against my champion, human. However, I will praise your efforts and strength. For that, I will let you live. Now, hand over the stone."
Aldred glared at Quantum and at Vortimer as if he refused to accept his defeat.
"Quantum Sentinel can behead you right now and take that stone out of your headless corpse, but I gave you a chance to live. Do not waste my mercy to feed your ego."
Aldred gritted his teeth. "Fine!" He grabbed the stone out of his pocket and threw it at Vortimer.
When the stone was flying in mid-air, a green energy enveloped it and brought it to Vortimer.
Vortimer gazed at the stone as if it was his precious treasure. "Finally, with this stone, I will be able to control the Veil and conquer the galaxy!"
After he said that, Vortimer noticed something strange. "But, why is this stone is devoid of cosmic power, instead, it has a soul?"
"That's because you just got fooled!"
The stone in Vortimer's hand suddenly explode, producing a blinding smoke.
Out of the smoke, came Aldred with a Phantom Doomblade in hand and stabbed through Vortimer's abdomen.
It was apparently, Aldred's clone as the real Aldred rushed towards Quantum Sentinel to distract him.
"Our battle is not over yet." Aldred struck Quantum's other knee.
Quantum Sentinel suddenly let out a fearsome roar and vanished, appearing next to Vortimer and swung his spear towards Aldred's clone, producing a shock wave that sent him flying into the air.
Aldred pulled out the real time stone and used it to fix his broken shoulder. That was when he regrouped with his clone and faced Vortimer and Quantum Sentinel.
"Well, I guess it's two VS two now."
