Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 244

Sensing the attack approaching him, Bai knew that no normal attack of the Gluttony God could stop it.

“It’s not like it matters to me, but somehow it would affect my pride” Bai said for himself “Gluttony Forbidden Technique!”

“Buah!” Bai vomited a little of black blood, forcing his divine energy to flow inversely. A monstrous quantity of black aura surged from Bai’s body, all of it concentrating all of it over his sword.

Bai quickly sliced multiple times the air in front of him, drawing a mysterious pattern “<Forbidden Plate: Full Course>!” From the pattern, a big mouth surged over it, following by a strange body a mix of ant, wold and a round strange beast. Only its mouth was over a kilometer long with sharp teeth, all of it formed by a black aura. The aura of it was incredibly strong, hunger, anger, and immense energy could feel from it. However, it somewhat lacked the absorption of the Gluttony usual techniques.

That was it. <Full Course> wasn’t a forbidden technique due to damaging the user in any way. It was because it used the previous devoured energy, using it plus the Gluttony’s energy, to unleash the strongest attack towards the enemy. Throwing up all that he ate was for Gluttony the greatest of the losses, giving up his own sin. As such, he banned this technique considering it as forbidden, even doubting to use in a life and death situation.

Bai didn’t matter too much using the stored energy, but somehow it was like tainting the name of the Gluttony God. Nevertheless, he decided to use, his mind all focused on destroying Renxue’s attack.

The black beast climbed over to the sun opening his mouth widely, the strength over it becoming monstrous. Not only Bai had put all the Gluttony divine energy into it, but it was also formed by Renxue’s absorbed energy and all the energy ate and collected by Mayi and Fenrir.

The black beast and the golden sun collided “GRRRRRRRRRR!” The black beast shouted in hunger, parts of his body exploding and pushing him forward, slowly pushing the golden sun up, winning over it.

“I really enjoy fighting you, Bai” Renxue smiled “You always push me forward to greater heights. But-” her wings extended “I won’t surrender so easily!” She flapped her wings charging against her own sun. Renxue easily pierced over the sun, cutting through it with her saber forward. As she was advancing, her armor and saber were shining brighter and more powerful, becoming blindly. Renxue was absorbing all the energy from the sun over her own body, boosting her strength to the maximum.

“<Great Sun: Holy Order>!>” All the sun was absorbed inside Renxue’s armor and saber, evolving it and making it now more resplendent, dignify and beautiful. She charged like if a mini sun towards the black beast and Bai.

Seeing Renxue charging forward, Bai clenched his sword, he focused absolutely all his Gluttony strength over it “Devour!” He stabbed forward towards, throwing all the energy towards the black beast that started growing even more.

Without the golden sun, the black beast charged madly towards Renxue wanting to shred her to pieces.

“Vanish!” Renxue dashed forward, multiple times stabbing forward. She pierced over the black beast body, completely passing through it.

“Grrrr!” Behind her, the black beast contorted falling to the ground surrounded by golden flames, its body consumed by them. Renxue continued charging forward, her eyes focused over Bai.

Gray aura exploded from Bai’s sword enveloping him, Bai’s armor turning gray and his hair becoming longer and of gray color, returning to his Sword God. Bai had recovered his full energy, only having spent all of the Gluttony God.

Both, Bai and Renxue, knew that this would be the last attack, both using all their strength. For it Bai decided to face her as the Sword God. Previously, he couldn’t even face Renxue when she wasn’t even using her weapon, making the Gluttony God far stronger. However, in the end, Bai preferred the Sword God position. It was newer, limitless and especially for him. It showed all his hard work over all these years, all the training and fightings while the Gluttony God was most about his luck and the true owners of it were Mayi and Fenrir.

Bai clenched his sword, powerful gray energy flew over Bai’s sword.”I’m not the same as before” It was true. Bai was too ignorant of godly or primordial powers before, too encased in the idea of human even when he had broken through it. For him, having become the Gluttony God and using its powers had become an invaluable experience to familiarize with his new power, his own comprehension reaching a new level.

“Chaos will fall!” Bai’s sword twisted, it seemed to open itself and at the same time engulf itself. The material like steel disappeared, being replaced by an impossible blade. It was extremely difficult to describe. It was like an ethereal blade formed by a storm, an abysm opened from it that seemed to contain strange energy, familiar and completely unfamiliar at the same time. Like all elements put together in one place, but at the same time, none of them.

It was pure Chaos. The energy that governed before the creation of the universe, an energy that laws and concepts couldn’t restrict. It contained all Bai and God Sword’s experiences.

“<Theory of Chaos>!” Bai’s sword was released, unleashed pure Chaos everywhere, seemingly to alter matter itself.

“Renxue!!!!!!!” Bai charged forward with his sword at hand, surrounded by pure Chaos over him, as he stabbed forward to Renxue.

“Bai!!!!!!!” Renxue burst with holy power, further increasing her speed as she dashed towards Bai, stabbing toward him, leaving a trail of golden energy behind her.

Both of their eyes shined brightly, smiles surging from their lips. For them now, they were simply fighting. It didn’t matter the situation where they stood or the future that will occur. They only focused on the fight that had evolved going beyond of spar, becoming an all-out battle. The only thing in their minds was to win.

“”AHHHHHH!”” Both shouted focusing all their strength. They clashed each other, each stabbing forward the other. Both bodies flashed, crossing each other and passing through the other. Appearing with their backs looking at each other with a distance of 10 meters between each other.

“”Buffff!”” Each of them expired air profoundly.

“CLANK!” A great sound of sword clashing resounded everywhere. Bai and Renxue’s strength and speed were so great that time and space took a delay to show their effect.

“BOOOOOM!” The space collapsed, the ground and air disappearing. In front of Bai and Renxue, a great slash was created cutting kilometers over the horizon, slicing the Douluo Continent in two, only leaving intact the area between each other.

“BRRRRRR!” The earth trembled, rock and water filling the holes created by both cuts. However, their intent and aura perdured in them.

“Hg!” Golden flames exploded over Bai’s body. Having reached his limit, Bai fell backward falling to the ground.

“Ghr!” At the same time, Renxue vomited blood, Chaos having invaded all over her body. Her wings automatically folded, her armament lost completely its shine. Without any strength, she fell backward to the ground.

“Puf!” Both fell over, landing in the same place only distanced by few centimeters, both of them without any energy with the sound of the aftermath of their attack as the background.

In both faces, a happy smiled appeared, having truly enjoyed the fight.

“Hahahahaha!” Bai started laughing, due to his injuries it was painful, but he couldn’t stop.

“Hahaha!” Renxue reacted also laughing charmingly, tears falling her eyes with a mix of joy and pain. “S-stop!” She tried to say between laughs.

Bai lifted his face and looked to the sky “At the end, we truly finished as we started”

“True” Renxue smiled cleaning her tears “At that time, both of us lost. You lost the fight and I lost due to unleashing my Seraphim. This time it seems that any of us can’t continue, without winners, there’s only losers.”

“Yeah” Bai smiled tenderly remembering that time, and looking back at all the times with Renxue. Even the bad moments, trying to kill each other, he couldn’t avoid thinking as precious and tender memories, showing their relationship.

“Bai” Renxue called him serious “As you lost, you must do whatever I say”

Bai smirked “Following it, I can also command you whatever I want.”

“I don’t mind” Renxue said seriously “Bai. I want you to always be with me. I don’t mind what will happen, I will be always with you, stay at your side, and live eternity together. Even following the other death” Renxue breathed in “I love you, Bai. We had our moments, we fought against each other, I lied to you and even to myself. With you I always had doubts, but I am sure now. I love you, Bai. Is the only feeling that I don’t have any doubt”

“I hate you” Bai said seriously “You lied to me for 10 years, tried to injury my family and kill me. You are my greatest enemy”

Renxue made a sad but understanding face (Of course, how could he loves me too. I always lied to him) She though.

“So my order for you is…” Bai stated “If you want to be always together, nNever hide anything from me.” Bai smiled while Renxue blinked in surprise.

“I liked all the time I spent with you. That time were one of my most precious memories, the only ones that I truly could experiment a normal youth and happy moments without minding anything. I feel kind of silly for not realizing that you were always a woman. I thought about it many times and negated it, but somehow I truly wanted you to be and be always together with you as much more than friends.”

“Yeah” Bai scoffed “I am silly. Even when I hate you FOR WHAT YOU DID, I never could hate you. My heart ached when thinking about you, making it painful when I tried to kill you. I also love you” Bai said “I love you, Renxue!”

Tears of joy started filling Renxue’s eyes, falling uncontrollably over her checks.

“Let’s always be together, Xuexue” Bai said.

“Yes!” Renxue smiled brightly.

Both of them let their head fell, leaning over each other and closing their eyes, simply sleeping like this while their energy recovered, to tired to move.
