Li Yao regenerated instantly.
"You can’t win," she said, her voice coming from everywhere at once as layers of space-time bent around her.
"We’ll see about that," Xiang Yu replied, his form flickering in and out of time.
They met in the center of a collapsing galaxy, their fists creating shockwaves that snuffed out entire star clusters.
Li Yao used her power to exist in multiple time points simultaneously, attacking from angles that shouldn’t even exist.
For hours they fought, neither gaining lasting advantage.
Every wound healed, every destroyed limb regrew, every shattered bone reformed. They were two unstoppable forces trapped in eternal collision.
Finally, as Li Yao prepared another ultimate attack, Xiang Yu saw his opening.
Her power was definitely great, but it also had its own shortcomings. He had seen it before, for her to make this kind of ultimate attack, she needed some time to focus.
In the split second she concentrated on reshaping space around him, he moved.
His hand pressed against her forehead.
"Absolute End," he spoke softly.
Li Yao’s eyes widened in shock as her body began to dissolve.
The Heavenly Way authority flickered and died as she turned to nothingness.
Xiang Yu stood alone in the void, breathing heavily. But as he turned to leave, he sensed someone behind him.
He turned to look and saw Li Yao again.
"What?" But before he could even register the sight, more of them began appearing around him.
One, two, ten, a hundred - Li Yao after Li Yao materialized in the empty space, each one feeling just as real as the last.
He wondered if this was the Thousand Bodies Dao Body. Each of them felt exactly like the original.
He smirked self-deprecatingly. "Who even is the real cheater here?"
...
"Hmph! Do you think you can defeat me with just this?" Xiang Yu asked arrogantly.
"You tell me," Li Yao replied casually.
All the Li Yaos began preparing their own attacks.
Xiang Yu’s expression darkened. "Since you’ve pushed me this far... then you leave me no choice," he said.
Li Yao watched him nervously. Her husband always carried millions of trump cards with him. Was he going to...
[Idiot, you got tricked] the Sage shouted.
"What?" she asked in confusion. Then she noticed the Xiang Yu before her slowly dissolving into nothingness.
Seeing this, she roared in anger. Causing the universe to shake from her fury.
Xiang Yu heard this roar from far away and smirked. "What a noob. Really fell for the oldest trick in the book," he laughed. "Kid, you’re a billion years too young to play games with this old man."
"Ho... does husband think so lowly of me?" Li Yao asked, appearing before him.
Xiang Yu’s playful expression turned serious. He really couldn’t afford to waste any time. He finally understood why he had detached himself from the main body. There was no way he could help himself through a clone.
Sage Li Yao remained still.
"What is this? Afraid? Could it be that you don’t love senior brother after all? Tch, what a waste of my time," Li Yao said, turning around.
"You..." the Sage gritted her teeth.
"What? You can’t bear to lose and now want to kill me? Do it, then the whole world will know only I love senior brother the mostest."
[What kind of logic is that?] the Empress and the Sage both thought at the same time.
[Hey, don’t fall for it. Look at the numbers - it says it’s 100% a trap. Listen to me. That girl is crazy, don’t merge back with her] the Sage inside the other Li Yao tried her best to convince her.
But Li Yao refused to back down. "How dare she insult me like this? How can someone possibly love the husband more than me?" Li Yao retorted.
[Trust me, someone can. She’s right in front of you. Now kill her so only you can love your husband] the Sage said.
"No," Li Yao spoke.
[What?] the Sage asked in confusion.
"I accept your challenge. Only I love husband the mostest in the whole world," Li Yao said.
"Now that’s what I like to hear," the original Li Yao said, turning around to face her with a smile.
[Stop! What are you thinking? We’re going to die] the Sage shouted.
"If someone can love the husband more than me, then I don’t deserve to live."
